The election is in the news at the moment. It has been called for 24th November 2007. JH has been in power since 1996 - and is lining up to beat Menzies record of a fifth term in office. Labour has recently had several changes in the leadership role, but many of the punters seem to be happy with Kevin in 07 - maybe they like the t-shirt!
There has been several argy-bargy type comments in the press, but the one that jumps out at me is the silly comments directed towards Julia Gillard - she's damned five ways from Sunday (is that still a standard cliche?).
Half the people put her down because she is a woman without children which must mean that she is not "complete" as a person. How many prejudices does that violate?
And the rest have a go because she has devoted too much time to work.
Me - I don't like her politics.
Commentary
Five minutes is much harder - I made 159 words. At the previous rate I should have made 200, but by doing a 5 minute stint, I think I felt I had to come up with a topic I could write about. I had an idea, and I even thought of the ending and watched the clock making sure I could write it in.Looking back, I should have written it down, then moved back up and just typed stuff in between. It was much harder to get started. I let one minute go when I didn't start first off because I didn't have the "plan".
Compared to the 1 minute exercise, where you just start typing, this is much harder.
