There were no muppets, but the people singing acted very muppet-like, you’d have been impressed.

I should’ve mentioned it on the blog earlier. I’m a bad publicist.

(da da duuum) Ted Ballieu won’t admit it, but he likes to stab babies. He could be stabbing your baby right now! Do you want a baby-stabber for Premier? (Ba bom!)

Premier Bracks hasn’t stabbed any babies while leading this state and that’s why we think he should get another term.

Tasers aren’t lethal and in fact I support them, it was the semi-automatic bit I didn’t like. I was just taking the piss out of him wanting to say cool-sounding words. I should have kept them out of it though.

I’m singling him out for making a stupid promise that particularly irritates me. Not just for stupid promises in general. Though I prefer for governments to waste my time promising things that they at least might be able to do, and even better, promising things that actually address issues that society is actually facing.

In fairness to our Police, it’s not as bad as it used to be. I’m still living in the nineties. This link mentions some context.

As Andy’s pointed out, I’m reasonably sure I don’t get to vote for Ted anyhow. But so far I haven’t heard anything particularly bad from him; this may of course be because I haven’t been paying attention.

It’s hardly fair to single out poor Mr. Bracks for promising stuff before an election. All parties do it. And whatever you view on semi-automatic hand guns, tasers are supposed to be non-lethal. Surely everybody approves of non-lethal alternatives.

I’m not aware of any major problems in the Victorian police force with regard to their use of guns like you are suggesting. In fact, beyond that handful of corrupt detectives the police force seems to be doing a decent job.

I’m really just distressed you’d consider voting for Ted. Of course, you are allowed. He’s just not worth it.

Permit me my illusions. One can’t hope to change the liberalness of the Sandy district in any case. I like to pretend that whichever party I vote for on any level will win. Despite the overwhelming evidence that the reverse, in fact, is true.

The Sandringham district is already liberal. To change stuff around you’d have to vote for labor.
