And you thought George Bush was unpopular?

So, Brendan Nelson, leader of the Opposition here in Australia, has an approval rating of 9%. Nine per cent. I'm not kidding! He is the least popular Opposition leader ever, or at least since polls began in 1987. We're missing 86 years of Opposition leaders there, though I doubt many could reasonably challenge Nelson for that shocking figure. ( Read more... )

9%?! Wow. That's crazy.

I know! I couldn't stop laughing when I first heard about it. I'm certain you're going to think this guy's a twit the second you see him. He's just blandness incarnate, complete with unpopular political positions.

Also, did you get your uni schedule? I currently have Tuesday off and start Wed-Friday rather late. Afternoon, I think. Monday's a 9am start. But that'll be pretty different from last year! Though I might try to change it tomorrow when it opens for editing. I'll have to look through my options...

Wow, that is different for you! Yet again, I do not have to go in to uni on a Friday - just one more semester and I'll have made it through my entire undergrad degree without going in on Friday! Looks like Monday is the late afternoon with no way around it, Tuesday is short early afternoon, Wednesday has nothing, and Thursday is my long day. Not sure if I'll make any changes or not.

Omh... LOL 9%. That's awesome. XD

Haha, I know. You get the feeling he won't be leader for long.
