Comments on: Imperception and the Election? Dreamtime 2.0 Down Under http://blog.commarts.wisc.edu/2010/08/04/imperception-and-the-election-dreamtime-2-0-down-under/ Responses to Media and Culture Fri, 12 Feb 2016 19:35:04 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.7.5 By: Emma Tom http://blog.commarts.wisc.edu/2010/08/04/imperception-and-the-election-dreamtime-2-0-down-under/comment-page-1/#comment-24231 Mon, 09 Aug 2010 04:18:59 +0000 http://blog.commarts.wisc.edu/?p=5417#comment-24231 This silly citizen continues to move forward in her belief that, in an election where the complexion of both major parties is a muddy brown, at least those allegedly watermelonesque Greens are demonstrating some actual colour and movement.

Intelligent, entertaining and densely hyperlinked. Particularly love the last of these. We’re used to citation systems in academia, but seem to have difficulty in bringing that expertise over to the world of the Internet. Loved the use of them here to make irreverent and intelligent comparisons. Sweet.

Both were Welsh – just not born there.

I lived half of my adult life in Wales, but it’s hard to ‘be’ Welsh simply as an immigrant, since Wales doesn’t have its own citizenship.

By the way, neither of the candidates for the top job in Australia was born there – Tony Abbott was born in England. His election mantra is “Stop the Boats.” Too late, we may fear.

Isn’t migration wonderful!

Unlike her, who maintained she was Scottish, they always said they were Welsh anyway.
