Brilliant :D
Under new laws to be introduced to the Victorian Parliament this week, police will have the power to issue on the spot fines to people using indecent language.
Freedom of speech? Hah, who needs it in this day and age? What we really need is a government who pretends bad things (like porn, swearing, environmental issues and bloody atrocities in war) do not exists so we can be nice and comfortable and self righteous. Oh, and a couple of invisible enemies to make sure we don’t notice our civil liberties being taken away. Terrorists and “the boats” will do quite nicely for now. Now go watch A Current Affair and don’t you stress, because the government will sort it out.
War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.
I’d even say A Current Affair is more like the Two Minutes Hate, where everyone can hate immigrants or shonky builders or fat/skinny people equally and in the same yelling voice. What will keep me safe will be the $212 million in train guards armed with semi-automatics we’re apparently all paying for, shooting those who step out of line.

Going to go watch all the Christopher Guest movies again.

So yeah, I’ll keep you posted but it’s back to the bat-cave for more research for now.
Sounding more and more like a plan! If you guys are interested I’m sure we can swing it.
I’ll let you guys know next time we brew something worth sending out! Anyone else up north want some beer?
It’s funny, everyone was asking us where they could get bottles (and even slabs!) of ours from. We didn’t have the heart to tell them we make it in Simon’s kitchen, so we took their emails and said we’d contact them.
SO if we end up sending any out, maybe I should send some up Brisbane way!

The Mad Alchemists are snapped paparazzi-style with the acting mayor of Preston.
We saved the city from a super-villain.

That’s right folks.
