The interesting part is whether Katy’s blog will be a robust forum, or a whitewash.

Worryingly, looking at the code, it is WordPress…all they’ve done is put a custom skin on it.

Shoot! You’re right. I should have spotted that myself. But there’s a comment saying no government money was wasted on the blog, so that’s okay, I guess.

It’s Delicious from StudioPress, $US79.95. I use the Lifestyle theme from the same people for my own blog(s).

Expect moderation of comments by her staff.

Will public servants be used to run this?

Not public servants as such, but certainly people on the public payroll.

You know what I’d really like Katy to blog about? I’d like someone to explain just what the hell went wrong when they hooked Aranda up to the GDE.

Oh my god, I almost missed the bit where a failed journalist and career public servant was going nuts against a politician “who has never worked a day in his life”.

BWAAAAA HA HA HAH AHAHAHAHAHA AH

LMAO, game of politics sounds a lot like bunch of 5 year-olds having disagreement in a sand pit, telling on each other and calling each other names.
“You are not my friend anymore!!”-BANNED. 🙂
At least now I know who are Andrew Leigh and John Moulis. Bloggers?
Congrats to Katy on her tax payer funded blog.I hope it will not be a waste of our money and it will be read by many people.

John Moulis has a blog?

BWA AHAHA HAHAHAHA HA HAHA

What does he post about? I though we already knew that the ABC, the Greens and everyone who’s not a far-right wingnut is part of a conspiracy to enslave the world (via the climate change red herring) that will install a one-world government under the control of the reptoids … ssshhh … there’s a black helicopter hovering overhead – quick, put your tinfoil hat on so that they can’t read your thoughts.

Or is it all about how 2GB, big cars and bodybuilding and completely awesome (and totally not gay)?

I told Andrew that in order to try and scare him in order to stop him constantly harrassing me and trying to contact me via my YouTube account after I unfriended him on Facebook.

I have trouble believing anyone would go to this trouble over facebook.

Its an interesting way to try and engage with the electorate. Good luck to her. Perhaps we will see genuine engagement in the comments area like JB occasionally does, and some public figures do on their blogs.

Sadly, most politicians blogs/fb accounts are generally updated by staffers – there is no debate, as its just another form of media to them.

For a man who spends all day slinging insults at others, you are remarkably thin-skinned.

John Moulis blocked me from commenting on his blog when I politely disagreed with one of his crazy rants. When I questioned him about this via private message, he reported me to the AFP.

No joke. He tried to drag “the feds” into an internet disagreement!

I did not drag “the Feds” into an Internet agreement. I told Andrew that in order to try and scare him in order to stop him constantly harrassing me and trying to contact me via my YouTube account after I unfriended him on Facebook. I don’t like stalkers or flakes who can’t understand the rules of engagement on Facebook.

Seeing as you’ll be dead before we get to witness the generational suffering your people have caused I’d ban you to.

Minor pains now are going to avoid huge pains in the future. Maybe you should have saved and invested some of your hard-worked for dollars sometime ago rather than bitching about the pain now. See what happened, your complete failure to learn.

I hope politicians realise they shouldn’t grovel to people like you because thinking, active & concerned people with long life spans ahead of them vote as well.

Will she blackban anybody who disagrees with her blog postings like her buddy Andrew Leigh did with me? Or will she send out nasty messages to people who try to add her as friends like Andrew Barr did with me on Facebook?

She’ll quickly find she can’t get away with much on the Net.

Why on earth would Andrew Leigh blackban you?

Oh,

maybe because of this?

Leigh, you are an absolute tool. A typical left wing academic geek who has never worked a day in his life who joins a political party and has a job for life in a safe seat where the idiots will vote Labor even if Mickey Mouse was the candidate.

You might like to write masturbatory crap about young people and their so-called commitment to the future and belief in so-called climate change, but what about us? Pensioners who are sick and tired of electricity bills going up because of Labor’s renewable energy targets? Too scared to turn on a light because we can’t afford it? Staring down the barrel of not being able to eat because the carbon tax will escalate the cost of everything. ALL TO PLEASE A BUNCH OF GREENIES. All to give wankers like you a warm and fuzzy feeling. I don’t give a flying [OMITTED – DO YOU REALLY NEED TO SWEAR TO MAKE YOUR POINT? ED] about a bunch of naive kids and a mealy-mouthed politician who grovels to this wankery, I care where my next meal will come from, I care about my elderly mother and my aunts and uncles who are being driven to the poorhouse by this green zealotry.

I know that you are the darling of The Canberra Times and other members of the left wing/green set with all this crap you are spouting about climate change, but the vast majority of Australians are screaming out for all this to STOP! For a break from rising prices, for a break from grovelling to The Greens, for an end to air-headed wankery about “saving the planet” and for a break from ignorant tools like you living in a little bubble on the public teat.

I’m counting the days until the next election when you and the rest of your mates will be on the opposition benches and we can completely brush the nightmare of the past year or so. It doesn’t matter what a bunch of bike riding, latte-sipping public servants and their kids north of the lake tell you, there is real anger and hatred brewing towards you and this government in the real Australia, and no amount of “carrotmobs” at Ainslie Shops will ever counter that.

I’m proud of that comment and I stand by it.

LOL. You should become a Milwall supporter ‘nobody likes us and we don’t care’

I believe that a good government is an open and accessible government

Great!

wow, she flying …… 100 days and she has a blog 🙂

This city is really going places

It’s a pulpit, but anyone can get one of their own, so no harm in it.

I think we can settle that now. It will not be a robust forum.
