<< SEEING JOHN MALKOVICH ~ MAIN ~ ALL IN >>
WORLD OBSERVED, EXPLORED, ETC
Labor candidate Mia Handshin explains herself:
Some time ago on the vast island of Australia Mia Handshin was born. She looked at the world as she grew, she observed, explored, participated, engaged, debated, wrote, heard, felt, developed, advocated, articulated, absorbed and came to some conclusions about what she could do to be creative in her own unique way.
From a young age she felt a commitment, an inner impetus and inspiration to live her life to its utmost potential, seeking to share her particular passion and vision for the world and “humanaty”, TO BE THE VOICE SHE WANTS TO HEAR IN THE WORLD.
Mia wants to hear her own voice IN THE WORLD. That explains the all the SHOUTING.
(Via Andrew Bolt, now returned to his work hut after recent journeys among the foreign.)

Humanaty! How clever! Top marks luv for some seriously clever play on words
I’d say this poor girl is really hearing voices
Posted by aussiemagpie on 2007 04 30 at 12:58 PM • permalinkAnd as she’s hearing voices, she’d be a wonderful addition to the Rudderless team
Posted by aussiemagpie on 2007 04 30 at 12:59 PM • permalinkDon’t know if anyone was picking up on it in Adelaide but a column of hers a couple of weeks back suggests she was testing the waters:
So, will the sex of a candidate make a difference to your vote at this election? If there are two candidates equal in all other respects, would the fact that one is a male and the other female influence your decision?
Posted by Villeurbanne on 2007 04 30 at 02:08 PM • permalinkI wonder if Mia is sticking by her policy of lowering the voting age to 16 now that she is part of the ALP machine?
Posted by Villeurbanne on 2007 04 30 at 02:15 PM • permalinkIf there are two candidates equal in all other respects, would the fact that one is a male and the other female influence your decision?
Yes, if either one of them use their gender as a reason to vote for them.
In which case, I would vote against that cretin. No matter how hot she is.
Posted by The_Real_JeffS on 2007 04 30 at 02:39 PM • permalinkWhen I started reading her website I thought Mia could have really been Margo Kingston with an EXTREME makeover. Her obvious use of spellchecker however debunked my theory.
Posted by Hank Reardon on 2007 04 30 at 02:57 PM • permalinkShe’s so of herself it’s a wonder she could take in any of the world at all…
Posted by richard mcenroe on 2007 04 30 at 03:38 PM • permalinkI went to her website, and now I feel enlightened.
Thanks Tim.
Mana to you.Posted by daddy dave on 2007 04 30 at 05:30 PM • permalinkthe only thing missing was the links to a section called “pics.” Anyone find it?
I’m looking for the pics.Posted by daddy dave on 2007 04 30 at 05:31 PM • permalinkHe he ABC’s (Australia’s Ballless Collective) Franny on RN Breakfast said that the hand-picked candidates have been labelled “Rudd’s duds”
I think that she intimated that this could have been coming from the disgruntled displaced candidates ... such a cohesive lil’ bunch
The Rudder making yet more ‘friends’ on his own side: what’s a little friendly fire in order to win the war?
One of Krudd’s hand-picked ‘celebrity’ candidates was in Queanbeyan yesterday, saying he had a lengthy association with the region and he was proud to represent the people of Eden-Monaro. Only problem was that he kept pronouncing it “Mon-ah-ro” (like the Holden car) rather than “Mon-air-ro”. Even the ABC Canberra news pointed out his continual mis-pronounciation of the area wouldn’t go down well with the locals.
A few years ago the local Adelaide Murdoch rag decided to give this unknown teen a COLUMN of her own ‘to speak for her generation’. Surprise, surprise, she had little of weight to say.
Predictably, it has gone to her airhead.When newspapers were responsible, journalists had to prove themselves in the world for many years before they won the privilege of a personal column to lecture to everyone.
Not our Mia…
In the ALP’s postmodern world, experience now counts for nothing too.Slightly O/T, but did anyone happen to catch the shameless bit of shilling for ABC employee Leigh Sale’s turgid tome on poor ol’ Mo’ Daewoo on last night’s Lateline?
Intro’d by well known RWDB Ray Martin, Sale proceded to make many snide remarks about the Federal Government and the Attorney General, while blatantly plugging her own commercial product on a public-funded broadcaster; I know the ABC has long been a private soapbox for a small, self-appointed elite of ratchet-jawed leftist bucketheads, but the ABC “charter” specifically proscribes the use of air-time to flog commercial products, especially those private enterprises of stridently public employees.
Anyone who’d care to waste their time by exressing outrage at this gross mis-use of an already hijacked public resource can have a bitch here- I’ve already raised the matter there, with the relevant minister and Media Watch, and I expect a rapid, vicious and vindictive response. I also expect to pick all seven numbers on lotto this evening.
When they finally reply, no doubt it’ll be along the lines that “seeing as less people actually give a fuck about that toxic, traitorous talitubby turd now he’s coughed, the sales of this load of bollocks will be lucky to recoup the cost of the initial print run, so it’s hardly promotion of a commercially viable product.”
Here’s what I sent off:-
Lateline last night had a five minute plug for a book on David Hicks, authored by ABC employee Leigh Sales. I thought such promotions were a breach of the ABC charter and the Workplace Values and Code of Conduct (I think- it’s been so well buried that it is totally inacessable anywhere on the website). I realise the ABC has very much become a personal soapbox for it’s perpetual undergraduate employees, but if advertorials for their own commercial enterprises are OK, why not for any product, thus lifting the usury of public funding from taxpayers, who largely ignore the network?
Ya know, IQ really is an upper bound on potential. And how stupid do you have to be to stand out amongst politicians as particularly banal? Jeebus, I hope whomever issued her communications degree has revoked it.
Also, are the scare quotes ‘round “humanaty” to keep the spellcheckers away? Or is this what we call Babs Streisand now? Half human, half sea cow, and stupider than either individually.
Have you seen the airhead flibbertygibbet they’re going to preselect for Boothby in Adelaide? How long before there’s a Wiggle running against Peter Costello and a Big Brother reject against Tony Abbott?
The ALP has lost what remains of its collective mind- I thought this one might be a bit close, but now I’m looking at a rout; blatant carousing with the ACTU, allowing major policy to be drafted and promoted by the architect of Medicare Gold, attempts to outloon the Greens on unachievable and pointless displays of economic self defenstration, it’s all adding up to disaster (and a bigger one for all of us if the unthinkable happens and this rabble’s allowed loose with the chequebook).
Having looked deeper into the background of the ALP’s star new recruit, I take back my previous assertions- I’m sure she’d make a fine treasurer, defence minister, or perhaps even foreign minister?
She certainly seems to have won the heart of the electorate.
Cripes - the electorate is being bombed by blond dumbells ...
The Libs must be havin’ a good larf: so the (prolly credible) ALP wymmin-in-sensible-shoes are being rolled over by the Rudder for bimbos.
... and the ABC is playing up Rudd’s new GI Joe lawyer recruit who “served (coffee anyone?) in Iraq” ... pffft!
Not so much an airhead as a narcissistic ignoramus. But she has the looks, and the intelligence too. Too bad she’s spent too much time in the company of other chardonnay socialists to be an asset to herself or anyone else.
Would I kill to have looks like hers? I better take the 5th on that. It’s not as if she’s thick, after all. But not at the cost of having her me-centric worldview, thanks. Some prices are too high.#42 there may be hope for her yet.
a) she has her own business, a consultancy;
b) she is into helping people fulfil their potential (the best way to do this is entrepreneurship, but she hasn’t figured that out yet)
c) she knows a thing or two about marketing, given her website and her instantly successful campaign profile.
d) she’s even got a quote on her site about achieving “financial independence.”She’s a natural conservative. But the left have cornered the market on incense-burning mysticism which she seems heavily into, so she clearly feels obliged to join the Labor party instead.
Posted by daddy dave on 2007 04 30 at 10:29 PM • permalinkI must say appearance-wise* the new recruits are a bit of an improvement on previous caucus cuties, but the ALP doesn’t seem to be able to pick up candidates whose visage won’t turn electors to stone and who have an IQ bigger than their bra size; admittedly one out of two is an improvement on the 0/0 batting average thus far, but where’s their Julie Bishops, Jackie Kellys and Sophie Mirabella (nee’ Panapolous)s?
PJ O’Rourke reckoned that you could always tell where things were going on by finding where all the good looking and intelligent women were- they’re sure not flocking to the ALP.
If I wanna vote for good looking people, I’ll ram an ice pick in my forehead and watch Big Brother.

Iran today warned tourists and other foreigners visiting the country to obey its Islamic dress code in line with a nationwide crackdown against slack dressing, the ISNA news agency reported.
#41
ABC Radio News were bragging about his contribution in exposing the AWB scandal whilst in Iraq.Kickbacks are an unfortunate part of aid deals, as I’ve been aware in my industry, they were all doing it - this naive? f*cker scored an own goal for Oz in exposing this.
The KRudder rewards him thus? - he must need another stooge.
What these clowns have managed in 72 hours in astonishing. Garnaut has now said Stern wasn’t right about everything and has criticised Labor’s unwillingness to come up with a 2020 “target” before a 2050 “target”. Gillard has said unions may participate in the IR debate (and fund Labor’s campaign with millions of dollars) but that businesses should not do so for the other side, lest they get injured. Rudd has said union membership is irrelevant at the ALP National Conference, is hand-picking politically illiterate blondes and religious mystics (stomping on local branches) and wants foreigners to buy more of our uranium but says we can’t use that uranium ourselves. His IR model goes beyond WorkChoices and even beyond Keating’s reforms. He’s also pressing ahead with the ‘Howard lied’ line on WMD - despite being more unequivocal about their existence in 2002-03 than Howard was. Having decreed that people on $250,000 per annum are now “battlers” in order to ensure his green home renovations bribe of $300,000,000 can be spread around, he has the gall to say the government shouldn’t spend big in the budget.
These people are completely and utterly unfit for government. In fact, they’re unfit for local government.
Handshin? Handface would be better.

*Perhaps being in Japan for the last year has altered my perception of women.

If only there was a nationwide crackdown against sack dressing.
Posted by flying pigs over mecca on 2007 05 01 at 01:00 AM • permalink#48- agree on appearance, not so sure on intellect. What’s the ALP doing in SA, trying to set up a cupcake coalition? Given that a large proportion of the electorate are homicidal homosexual sadists, I can’t see it being a success. Also, going by her surname, if she’s a rello of Bob I can’t
see her looks lasting, but I suppose there’s always the party presidency.#50- I’m sure JWH was more polite and discreet- I’d say he would have used more subtle terminology, such as “a face like a dropped pie”, or perhaps “a head like a smashed crab”. If the pie had tomato sauce applied, either would suffice and be accurate as to colouration.
#63 IIRC, you are in Japan as well. Correct?
I was talking to a newhalf last night and she was more feminine than most Aussie women I’ve encountered. I only knew because she told me. Well, except for one area, which I have no intention of inspecting.
Posted by flying pigs over mecca on 2007 05 01 at 02:13 AM • permalink#64 For those who don’t know what a newhalf is, look here.
Posted by flying pigs over mecca on 2007 05 01 at 02:16 AM • permalink#64 No, MZ, not me. Did spend one night there on the way to Korea. Ate 3 peanuts and drank a soda from the hotel room minibar and got charged about $63. I was just suggesting if the fair Mia looks male to you, maybe it’s time to come home for a while? Or not, if Japanese femininity is your bag,baby,yeah.
Posted by dean martin on 2007 05 01 at 03:58 AM • permalink#69 OK, I’m sure the correct name will come to me when it’s of absolutely no use.
I would suggest that if Mia looks like a fair female to you, maybe it’s time to come here for a while? :p (Anyway I have a gf ATM, so the attractiveness or otherwise of the local women is of little importance.)
Posted by flying pigs over mecca on 2007 05 01 at 04:13 AM • permalinkKevni is a try hard. Even the national party has him beat with the blonde candidates. Check out their candidate for forde.
Delightful as the fair one is to gaze upon, she sounds like a pretty dynamic lady. I reckon the chorus of less-than-gentlemanly forms of approval does not do us much credit.
Yep. She does sound like a dynamic lady. She’s a go-getter, and she belongs in the corporate world of the Sydney CBD, where I have no doubt she will excel. However, she is excrutiatingly naive, and her website mana of speakingis- to put it blunty, a lot of mystical, new age nonsense. This leads to the impression that she doesn’t have a grounded, well-informed, realistic world-view, something that is critical in politics.
In fact, I’m concerned for her that she’s just a pawn in the political game, and she’s going to be burned.
Check out her website. Sure, she’s an idealist. Sure, she’s a go-getter.
she’s not politician material.
Furthermore, the fact that she is so easy to make fun of makes her a liability from the get-go.
Why was she recruited? I want to believe that the Labor party are not so cynical, shallow, and utterly devoid of principles that they are hiring idealistic young bombshells for their looks.
But- as amazing as this is to me- that’s actually what this looks like. Tell me I’m wrong, I want to believe I’m wrong. I want to believe that these girls are not just being used as lambs to the slaughter.Posted by daddy dave on 2007 05 01 at 11:51 PM • permalinkDaddy Dave—It’s Labor’s bold new slogan for the next election: Catmeat ‘08!

H.L. Mencken once wrote about politicians at conventions “comparing themselves favorably to the rising of the sun and the aurora borealis.” Sounds like Ms. Handshin has gone ‘em one better.
So, she wants to be “THE VOICE SHE WANTS TO HEAR IN THE WORLD”, eh? You know, they have “special rooms” where you can listen to nothing but your own voice all day long - except for occasional visits by the doctor for the purpose of checking the fasteners on the back of your “jacket”; he (or she, as the case may be) will probably utter a kind word or two, while checking your chart. And the orderlies who cut up your food for you, they may croon at you just a little (“Over the teeth and through the gums, look out stomach, here it comes!”). But aside from that, you can listen to the music of your own voice to your heart’s content.
