On Election Night, because Crikey is a non-stop news behemoth, we launched our 24-hour liveblog news channel from Crikey’s virtual election simulation bunker control room space station which is equipped with the latest web3 holographic election analysising equipment machines.

Campaign Diary – T minus 1 and counting
Yesterday I asked for other people to write my blog for me as I have given up and some lovely people did just that. Thanks to everyone who stood up for action and said yes we will. Two videos were suggested and here they are. Thanks Piers and Matt. This one is of Penguins in [...]

I suspect it is because people either get me, or they don’t, and if they don’t, they ignore me. I know I would. Click the image for a larger version if you want. Anyway, the email said: Thanks [...]
