I haven't been watching evening TV much since our move (too busy). But tonight Suzie and I sat down to watch a bit of mindless entertainment, and there must have been almost a dozen government ads in the space of 4 or 5 hours. I am disgusted at the way the Howard government shamelessly uses public servants and our money to try to advance their political ends.
I am particularly chagrined at the way they try to dress up their deficiencies in IR legislation and global warming by trying to portray themselves as totally opposite to what they have previously said and done.
I was mad enough that I gave toward a GetUp! campaign to fund an advertisement about Global warming during the AFL Grand Final.
