“Ooh ooh ooh! You said I was stupid, and all I did was say a stupid thing. That’s so cruel.” Really?
This won’t end well, but I’m nevertheless pissing myself laughing.
@Msloulou77 @cristyclark Besides, are we meant to CONGRATULATE people too stupid or lazy to find out what’s going on before weighing in?
@Msloulou77 @cristyclark What, and you just worked that out? How fucking slow ARE you?
I am getting really fucking sick of people complaining about things they hallucinate me saying. Learn to read properly, fuckwits!
These idiots can just shove their straw men up their arses.
@wgcullen Oh you fucktard! Did you not see my comments about providing support for people with a genuine need, like the unemployed? Arsehat.
@Msloulou77 @cristyclark P.S. Of COURSE it was intended to ridicule. Ridicule is a rhetorical technique used to point out arsehattery.
@Msloulou77 @cristyclark Hilarious! She bought into a conversation without reading first, and I called her an arsehat. Harden the fuck up.
@nessyhill I’m making the bold assumption that each agency had a purpose in mind, and can measure how well they achieved that purpose.
@nessyhill Well, what are they trying to achieve? Setting success metrics is basic project mgt. Govt’s aim isn’t “get Twitter followers”.

@nessyhill @Australia @2011Census @CSIROnews @warrencheetham Why is number of followers the important metric? It’s not about popularity.

OH, teen emo chick to similar friend: “Just shut up and press ‘finish and pay’, you cunt!”
I just checked. I have no contractual obligation to be nice to anyone.
Dear Everyone, please ensure your thinking is constrained to whatever political party leaders said today. It demonstrates your intelligence.
@cristyclark And for the record, no, I had no idea that this related to some news-cycle PPL thing until quite late. I did say that. Arsehat.
@cristyclark I am so very, very concerned that you’re now bored with a conversation that you chose to buy into. So fucking concerned.
Right. Shopping time. I think I might buy a big TV and furniture and then complain that the governments needs to pay for my basics.
@evcricket @niltiac @cristyclark This is quite true, but the chances of that being discussed rationally trends to zero.
@cristyclark I am so reassured by the thought of your vision of parenting being constrained by daily party-political politics.
Remind me to never let @cristyclark be a parent to any of my children, ‘cos once they’re weaned off the breast she’s outta there.
@cristyclark @niltiac Yeah I’d been under the impression that parenting went for longer than two years. My mistake. Sorry.
@niltiac @cristyclark Yeah I should generate some revenue too. But I do find this fascinating… appreciating trying to understand your POV.
@niltiac @alexkidman OK, here’s the troll: If a 2-parent 2-child family can’t survive on a single median income, you’re doing it wrong.
@niltiac @cristyclark True enough, and that’s sad, but again it comes back to a family making real-world economic decisions.
@cristyclark @niltiac Only if you’re stupid enough to believe that it’s only women who can do childcare.
@niltiac Not everything is about providing worker-units for “the economy” and “productivity”. Fuck that. What’s best for your family?
@niltiac Yes, so maybe it works out that for a family’s budget it’s better not to pay childcare and have the parents or family do that.
jonathonio just reading on twitter dot com that toby arnott thinks some women are a bit shit
oberonsghost In today’s ten-minute outrage, we discover that the Leader of the Opposition is a closet eugenicist. #womenofcalibre
@alexkidman @niltiac That’s coloured by growing in a poor household (by Australian standards) which had to make actual choices.
@alexkidman @niltiac Ah. Yes, I guess where I’m coming from is the sense that maybe people can’t have everything, and need to make choices.
vealmince Can Abbott simultaneously blame the interest rate drop on Labor’s mismanagement and claim rates will always be lower under his government?
@niltiac I find this surprising, given the income levels we’re talking about. Maybe some luxuries need to be shed.
TomMcIlroy Binders full of women of calibre.
It is slowly dawning on me that all this carry-on about childcare is because Mr Rabbit said something to the news unicycle today.
@niltiac “Boosting workforce participation” is glorious bureaucratspeak. People with depression not being able to pay rent is really real.
@niltiac Well, on that, I find it disgusting that NewStart recipients have to get by on a fraction of the poverty line. Fix that first.
@niltiac No, to me childcare sounds like a private matter about how you manage income and expenditure within your family.
SnarkyPlatypus Tones should have equated women with Black Caviar to accentuate his point.
@niltiac I see. Well, my two categories: for-all (defence, education, roads, health); and helping the unfortunate (NDIS, poverty, disaster).
@niltiac Oh easy. “Special stuff” is about helping people in extreme or unforeseeably unfortunate circumstances. Needing special help.
Ha_Tanya I’d add ‘woman of calibre’ to my Twitter bio, but I’ve already had my share of babies. news.com.au/business/workl…
@niltiac … and I wonder whether the special stuff is needed, in such a rich country, for anyone outside the lowest quintile of income.
@niltiac Don’t disagree. But there’s two classes of services, those for everyone whatsoever, and those for folks with a need for help…

OH, woman to her man as the jug of Long Island iced tea arrives: “It’s been a long day…” Current time: Tuesday, 3.20pm.
@leahmac Indeed, the ageing population thing is about everyone, not the politics of “working families” in a rich country “doing it tough”.
@niltiac I think there’s a big difference between unfortunate, unplanned disability and a decision to start a family with known costs.
Pro Tip: Tweeting links to op-eds in the Guardian will cement your reputation as a caring individual.
I definitely need to spend a few days in Melbourne soon.
@niltiac I’m not sure that a service provided for all, like schools or street lighting, is the same as a handout for some.
@gths Yeah, like it’s going to be some entitled kid from a middle-class family who’ll be wiping my arse when I’m old. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
People who think they need some special subsidy or tax break from the government to deal with a perfectly ordinary life. #icemoonprison
