Poker Machine
I didn't listen to the budget reply speech last night (or even the original budget), on account of World of Warcraft commitments. ;)
But I did hear a sound bite on AM this morning that made me laugh:
KIM BEAZLEY: This Treasurer's like a poker machine: you put in, you pull the arm... nothing; you put in again, another pull... nothing. Time after time... nothing.
(sound of applause)
SPEAKER: Order.
KIM BEAZLEY: And then, at last, the lights flash, the bells ring, crowds gather round. "Jackpot!" the Treasurer crows. ... Ten bucks. That's the drop. Ten bucks!
Beautiful!

He's an orator that's for sure.
Of course it is annoying that ALP state governments (the party of which I am a member) have embraced pokies for state revenue.
Pokies are evil man. EVIL!
