I found this in our letter box today, and I want to love it because it is _so_close_ to being a cleverly rendered, simple, positive statement about something good the government has done. Unfortunately they just had to bring in the usual fear/blame combo with the little "valid only" line... #auspol #politas

But then you have ICE come and shoot you in the back of the head for driving a vehicle and freedom ends

A lot of people here have Quite Strong Opinions about the U16 social media laws, so I’m sure they’ll all be excited to hear that Hobart’s Tasman Bridge is lit up yellow and green tonight, in recognition.

Pure gold from Ryan in the ABC live blog comments:

"Well, sir, there's nothing on earth
Like a genuine, bona fide AFL, roof-topped stadium
What'd I say? Stadium!
What's it called? Stadium!
That's right! Stadium
Stadium Stadium Stadium
I hear those things are very pricey
But rejecting it makes our election dicey
Is there a chance that it won't fit?
Not on your life, my silly git
What about us brain-dead slobs?
You'll be given cushy jobs
Were you sent here by the Devil?
No, good sir, I'm on the level
The ring came off my James Boag can
Take my pen knife, my good man
I swear it's Tassie's only choice
Throw up your hands and raise your voice
Stadium
What's it called? Stadium
Once again Stadium
But our health care is still all cracked and broken
Sorry, lefties, the mob has spoken
Stadium! Stadium! Stadium! Stadium!
Stadi, d'oh!"
