Kevin Rudd is a Liar. I caught him.

Either that, or he’s too busy watching movies and playing with his iPhone
It’s been over a year since the shit hit the fan and my face was plastered all over every News Limited papers and website Australia Wide. It’s taken me quite some time to deal with how angry I was with… well, everyone, yes, [...]

‘Gays are going to Hell’ – According to Joe from News Limited

Joe Hildebrand from the Daily Telegraph is using his News Limited position as a platform to encourage homophobia and voice his own homophobic ideals.

Homophobic Telstra Advertisement

The Government won’t assist us.
I woke up this morning and logged in to www.smh.com.au to read the news. Telstra pays a fortune to advertise on fairfax, and in their most recent campaign for Next Gen Mobile coverage they try to be funny in a homophobic and utterly stupid way.
Here is the ad (click the speaker [...]
