Some thoughts while at the eAirport
Lord TJ
Hello eAustralia,
My name is T. J. - a guy who tried and failed spectacularly .. unlike our new Senators, who I wish nothing but the best as the new Senate takes their seats and is gavelled into session. Congratulations in particular to the ANP who took home half the body - a spectacular victory although in fairness it was expected.
By my calculations, the new Senate is hung (I know how it feels 😉
) with no party gaining 50.1% of the seats in their own right. I'm sure the AIs will give the ANP supply and it's likely that a bit of debate will ensue over the next couple of days over Senate leadership positions. Good luck with that.
I want to dispel a bit of misinformation going around about what I think and feel about the ANP. It's been said, rather unfairly I might suggest, that I have some kind of "grudge" against the party. That is simply not true. To set the record straight, I have had some run-ins with ANP members whom I believed I had the right to openly disagree with about some issues and from that - it has been spun into a web of falsehoods to paint me as some kind of political enemy. To put it plainly, that's utter rubbish.
It is true that I have substantial concerns about eAus existing in a political structure where a one-party state will always exist. The AIs will not organise as a party - despite taking home the second-largest bloc of 1st preference votes across the board. An independent movement is great in terms of being apolitical on central philosophy, but this makes it extremely difficult for its members to find any meaningful direction. It also creates a vacuum in the system for the other parties who are effectively taken out of the picture by this paradigm.
In simple terms - eAustralian politics is up the creek without a paddle, no desire for change and a huge attraction loss.
I have abiding respect to several eAussies - across the political divide. I particularly pay respect to Sam Cougar, Binda, Xavier Griffith, Savonrepus, Flatty, Hinokai, Henry the 8th, Prime Minister Sir C0nstant, Mack Craft, Styvesant and Wally Wilson - people who have good hearts and get things done. They have a huge hill to climb for change but I wish them every success - for eAustralia's sake.
So what for me now? Clearly eAus is for some but I can't see it changing anytime soon. I'm getting organised for eUS. Friends of mine have offered me a place and I'm getting out before I become completely jaded beyond the point of no return.
But no matter how far or how wide I roam, I will always call eAus home.
Peace, good luck to all and for heaven's sake don't be a stranger!
T. J.

Sad to see you go mate, but i understand why you want to go. Good luck in the big old US of A and come back soon!
Sad to hear, but take my word for it, the grass is never greener... I started in the eUS then went to another country, then ended up on eAus, and the bickering and plotting is the same everywhere.
Consider staying and being a mentor of change?
Thanks for your comments TJ. Good luck in eUSA.
Gl in Turk, er USA
Freaken crap to see you leave mate 🙁, but best of luck in your endeavours. 🙂
Thanks for stopping by, hope you make it big in the USA. Don't you have respect for me?
jet in and jet out. Don't let the door hit you.
lol i love blow ins.
Like you and Infin can talk. On that's right .. in your cases it's more like blow HARDS. When it comes to unproductive nonsense, it's pleasing to see you two fine standard bearers have the helm.
come back when you are ready to work for more than 5 mins kid.
BTW "kid" .. we're probably the same age, if not I'm older. Learn some manners and sit down ;-o)
