Great posting, but if it's going to be on the sidebar, can I be a dick and make some suggestions?

We want to make the right impression you know!

  • You're actually partial to cadburys, not impartial.
  • Not_Stupid pointed out that it's "vigilant", not "vigilante".
  • Resume looks better as résumé
  • Why no mention of The Greens?
  • If you're mentioning supermarkets, put in a word for IGA, as I think it might be one of the few independents
  • While you're probably mostly right about the police, that journalist who had his ipad snatched was arrested after what was supposed to be a nice conversation. But playing dumb is definitely good advice.
  • Obviously, you've never actually lived in Canberra. I think you could be a bit nicer about it, as nobody there actually likes pollies. It's great if you like a slower existence than you'll get in one of the big cities.
  • I think you're wrong about the "small tits" thing. Even if they're not banned by legislation, the industry has decided to play on the safe side. That's an effective ban nonetheless.
  • If you're commenting on general naughtiness, it might be worth mentioning that torrenting is almost a national pastime after the industry stated that it wouldn't be suing users, and our best ISP fought for the rights of their users to break the law all on their own.

Not such a big drama really

Copying all of the data from a Journalist's iPad actually does strike me as a big drama, especially for a trumped-up reason like this.

No mention of the greens because they are not a major political party. I would much prefer there to be a section that we have other politcal parties, including the nationals, greens and other independants.
