COUNCILS = COCKS

Has K Rudd finally had a meltdown after being given the cold shoulder by Johnny Howard's former lover, GW Bush. Telling councils they must use their money is like telling Warnie to use his mobile. The councils should be happy, they can now justify more speed bumps, more roundabouts, more cutting 2 lanes to one to put in a bike path, just generally more pissing off the people who pay their wages and gave them the money in the first place. They can seemingly do whatever they want, yet they won't come and pick up my recycling bin more than fortnightly. The fucking thing is full after about 4 days and we need to cram shit in their for the next 10 days.
Speaking of councils, we received a council how to vote card for a block of land we own, i.e. we don't live there yet. I called the electoral commission and was told it's perfectly normal to receive multiple voting cards from different councils. So much for the old "have you voted already today". I asked if I needed to vote, as the card says "Voting is Compulsory" and was told "you don't really need to if you don't want to, as long as you vote in the council that you live in". What sort of fucked up stupid guidelines are these, vote if you want, or not. No one will seem to care until I receive a fine in the mail. You reckon they'll take my word for it that I was told I didn't have to vote??

I agree with your comments on the recycling bin, it is always the most full thing at our house, I mean the bottles of wine, beer, spirits don't exactly squash down like cardboard. Maybe if we just smashed the bottles in the bin we could fit more in it?
