Holy sh*t it’s been a while

Nearly forgot about you tumblr.

Thankfully your war with 4chan and a strange urge to pass the time looking at random artsy fartsy photos drew me back…at least for the time being.

Today I caught up with the Premier of New South Wales and the Minister for Environment Protection, Heritage and the Arts, just hours before polling closes.

Taking a serious view on the 2010 election, I caught up with UNSW SRC President Osman Faruqi and John Kaye; Greens member of the NSW Parliament, in order to gain a little more insight into the Green’s perspective on the 2010 campaign.

With the most recent newspoll indicating that voter sentiment is split 50/50 in relation to both Labor and the Coalition, we hit the streets to examine voter’s feelings less than 24 hours before polling day.

Breaking News: NSW Blues seeking to import Socceroos ahead of final Origin game.

A desperate attempt to turn around the fortunes of two rival sporting codes may very well stand as the last hope for a nation (and state) in turmoil. Following a 34-6 flogging and 5 series defeat at the hands of Queensland, the NSW Blues are now seeking to import Socceroos players ahead of the final Origin game of 2010.

Speaking at a press conference held in Sydney today, team manager Craig Young made vocal his support of the proposal. “The idea of luring in players from other codes has long been on the agenda, I mean, it’s basically how the AFL operates, but in this case we’ve got our sights set on World Cup representatives. We were very keen on the idea prior to Australia’s performance against Germany.”

When asked whether team enthusiasm had decreased after the Socceroos first round loss, Young stated that he remained ‘comfortable’ at the very least. “Realistically, we could do with whatever help we can get. I mean, at least these guys can keep the margin at 4-0.”

Blues coach Craig Bellamy spoke briefly, identifying Tim Cahill as their main target in poaching talent from the Socceroos. “Cahill is a magnificent talent; he’s very skilled and a student of the game. When I think of Tim, I think this is a guy who at least knows how to make a tackle.”

Also in attendance was Andrew Johns; however he was not granted any official press time by NSW management. Speaking candidly to journalists present, Johns commented that “the influx of Socceroos talent who have played on an international stage should offer for some great racial jokes. This is a team of players who have been exposed to 31 other nations. They’re certain to have some great stories to tell. Heaven knows I need some new material.”

Socceroos coach Pim Verbeek was unavailable to comment at the time of press, having cited already being far too busy plucking his eyebrows.
