I don't think that's a good enough sign, but yes, word on the Canberra street (so to speak) is that it's Labor.

I really can't see how it could be any other way, given their much-vaunted desire for ''stability''. Given the Greens balance of power in the Senate from next July for a start, and Labor's stronger position now seat-wise.


I don't fully understand Nick Cave backlash

Warren Ellis is lame and makes Nick even lamer than he's been getting anyway.

Whilst the lyrics may be less imaginative than before, the music has gotten pretty damn formulaic.

I liked him better before he became PM.

[Cave is both a rampant misogynist and an arch-snob but it’s actually his snobbery that bothers me more – or rather, the way that his snobbery, amplified and encouraged by others, lends to his misogyny an air of respectability, as if it were something to be admired.

Like many women, I have a troubled relationship with the sexism and, yes, misogyny that continues to shape popular music. On the one hand I abhor it and it makes me tired and angry; on the other I love plenty of artists whose sexual politics could at best be described as dubious. Cave was once among them.](http://web.overland.org.au/previous-issues/issue-197/feature-anwyn-crawford/)

Ex-chat Anwyn Crawford on Nick Cave. It's a pretty amazing article.

It's everything from after Shivers (sorry) (actually quite like Door, Door) up to Let Love In, excluding The fucking Ship Song, or thereabouts.
