Election Fever!
Posted by: Ryan on: October 21, 2007
I just watched the last part of the Debate between Howard and Rudd, and I was very amused. Poor Howie, he simply wasn’t at his best.
I was very very impressed by Kevin Rudd though, and I sincerly hope that he is our next Prime Minister. (Dude is promising fast, cheap broadband… that is a PM I want in power!)
I was quite surprised to hear announced at the end of the ABC broadcast of the debate that backstage John Howard had ordered the cutting of the Opinion Worm transmission that was being streamed to channel 9, and its back up stream. Channel 9 managed to pirate the Worm from another source, and it was broadcast anyway. The Worm did not like Howard at all, it was Rudds pet.
As the channel nine presenter said about it: “So much for freedom of speech.”

Yeah, ABC actually said that it was ordered by the PM back stage. So, 9 implied liberal involvement, and ABC directly stated it.
Either way, even the media has it in for Johnny this time.
I LIKE IT!
This is going to be my first election I get to vote in.
I haven’t made up my mind yet. I like the broadband proposal though, haha.

i checked that out, they cut the video feed, and while nine strongly implied liberal involvement in the cut it was most likely the national press galleries decision.
what is really interesting is that nine would be fully aware of who the majority of people would associate with cutting the feed and to me it was a clear message of we are not on your side this time
