A considerate silence

Higher thoughts and a sometime-neglected responsibility to make the world a better place have stayed all posts these past few days. The temptation to gloat at Labor's humiliation and mock its attempts to present electoral catastrophe as unalloyed triumph would have been overwhelming, and the less salt rubbed into that open wound the better and brighter Australia's chances of achieving a new era of amity and accord.

So, with selfless restraint, not a word about the carping, petulant, whining, frustrated and self-deceiving bastards who spent six years stuffing everything upon which they could wrap their slimy and corrupt hands.

See, it is easy to be civil.
