Fellow travellers, I just heard Julia Gillard on the ABC at the official launch of the National Broadband Network in Armidale, NSW. At the risk of sounding a little patriotic this is clearly a great day for Australia.

Now that the program is well underway, and - as Stephen Conroy said, on time and on budget - all those appalling NBN naysayers will just have to shut up, won't they!

The Government is truly doing it once, doing it right and doing it with fibre! And a year or two down the track, wi...

Fellow travellers, I'm really starting to wonder what is going on in our PM's mind at the moment. Her behaviour does seem to be very odd. I mean, she's just attacked her official partners in government with some astonishingly extreme and false claims. She's clearly trying to create a real perception of difference between Labor and the Greens in the tiny minds of the great unloofahed.

Here is some of what she said:

The Greens will never embrace Labor's delight at sharing the values of everyday...

Fellow travellers, as we all know, conservatives want nothing more than to take Australian society back to the fifties. But when we point this out they always deny it. It's very much like their reaction to accusations of racism. You know for sure that someone is guilty of that if they deny they are. Really, it's as clear as black and white (and I don't mean that in a racist way of course).

But sometimes they don't deny it. On the contrary, they occasionally proudly claim allegiance to some opp...

There is no doubt that a very serious campaign to discredit the great Julian Assange is underway. And we know exactly who is behind it don't we, fellow travellers? The CIA!

They've even got his so-called former friend Daniel Domscheit-Berg doing their bidding. He's telling anyone who'll listen that Assange is some sort of "megalomaniac".

Of course this all looks plausible. He worked closely with Assange on WkiLeaks for years, then had a well-documented falling out with him. And now he's just w...

When our nation's sassy, feisty and very real leader Julia Gillard broke down in tears over the human toll of the (human-caused) Brisbane floods, of course those hate-peddlers on the right just couldn't handle it. They had been pushing this line that she was robotic and unemotional for so long, after all. So they had to ask: "Was her crying genuine?"

Well of course it was! I was so deeply moved by her response that even though she was holding an Australian flag, I actually didn't want to burn ...

Appallingly, the attacks on the great Julian Assange continue. Has any hero been treated more savagely than this great freedom (of information) fighter?

Take these derisive claims about his methods of evading AmeriKKKan assassins in a book put out by The Guardian. (Actually this report is doubly disturbing considering its source. Up to now that newspaper has had a well deserved reputation for speaking truth to power. But maybe it's been infiltrated by the CIA? I think it's highly likely...

Fellow travellers, if there was any doubt that the sex crime accusations against the heroic Julian Assange are false, there certainly isn't now.

You see, Assange's accusers' Swedish lawyer has now officially denied that there is any CIA involvement in the case. He says his clients are not pawns; they've had their "sexual integrity" violated. Now, we know from many previous cases involving that sinister organ of the AmeriKKKan Empire (and others like it) that whenever those representing the su...

Fellow travellers, I am now starting to fear for the life of the great Julian Assange! The reason? Because he holds these fears himself. And since he is a man synonymous with the Cold Hard Truth, we must take these concerns very seriously indeed.

Speaking to the Guardian, Assange said that if he were extradited to AmeriKKKa there's a good chance he'd be killed "Jack Ruby-style". This quote confused me at first, because we all know Jack Ruby as a killer, not a murder victim. Was Assange implyi...

Fellow travellers, being as philosophically, politically and spiritually evolved as I am, it's very rare that I can actually speak highly of another human being. But I certainly can in the case of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange. Frankly, the more I learn about him, the more impressed I am. While he's not in my league - and never will be, of course - he's certainly getting quite close.

Not only is he a brilliant computer hacker who has made complete fools of the entire Western world and all ...

Fellow travellers I am sure that you are all as deeply appalled by recent developments regarding Labor's ban on nuclear power as I am. It looks like Julia may actually allow a debate about whether they should allow it. This is horribly, terrifyingly irrational, fellow travellers!

And this argument that if they can debate gay marriage, then they should also be allowed to debate nuclear power is highly specious (as well as speciesist). I mean, gay marriage is an extremely important issue that i...

Fellow travellers, why am I not surprised that the appalling Andrew Bolt is crying media bias again! This time, he thinks it's unfair that a "joke" told by Tony Abbott (no doubt one he thought was dead, buried and cremated!) has been exhumed and used against him. And why, asks the hateful reactionary, aren't journalists doing the same with aspects of Julia Gillard's earlier life?

Well, it's simply because sassy sister - now PM, and about time - Julia (yougogirl!) has nothing whatsoever to be a...
