Some words from an Australian politician who sees things as they really are!
"Australian mates and good blokes have been replaced by nervous wrecks, metrosexual knobs and tossbags." says former Australia prime ministerial aspirant Mark Latham, who declares in a book that Australia's male culture is in crisis.(Metrosexuals are urban men - gay or straight - who spend a great amount of time and money on their appearance.)
"Instead of calling a spade a spade, our national conversation is now dominated by weasel words and the pretence of politeness" Latham writes in his book, A Conga Line of Suckholes - a phrase he used to deride Prime Minister John Howard's government in its support of the US invasion of Iraq.
"Few people have anything meaningful to say for fear of offending the conservative status quo," he says in excerpts published in newspapers.
That's all from me for the moment. Got to go and moisturise my knees and nourish my chackra !
