Who the hell has the balls, the unmitigated gall, to lower exhorbitant MP, federal judge and Governor-General superannuation packages, which currently sit at nearly eight times the national average for those who actually earn it, and irrespective of age? After little Johnny Howard retires (which will hopefully be directly related to the Federal election results), he stands to earn $200,000 annually until he dies. Someone explain to me why that’s necessary. Even Stan Zemanek (think a kind of Australian Rush Limbaugh (or better yet, don’t)) was heaping cautious praise on Latham for putting the policy forward. Why the fuck do politicians need 6-figure salaries anyway? Isn’t a modest salary plus travel allowances and corporate kickbacks enough? Oh, right, because they’re the ones who write their own wage increases into legislation.

And why the fuck can’t I find a cinema which is showing 21 Grams?
