Julian Assange’s bid for a Federal Senate seat is going smoother than can be expected, after the Australian Electoral Commission reportedly accepted his enrolment as a foreign elector and the registration of the Wikileaks party. Here’s where he’s running and more importantly who he’s running with.


Julian Assange Preps For Australian Senate Race

Getting yourself on the docket for an election is tough no matter where you are. I’d say it would be tougher for a political refugee like Julian Assange, though. Assange recently flagged his intention to run for the Federal Senate, and now despite the adversity, Assange is on his way to the race.


Victoria Police: Don’t Use iOS 6 Maps

It’s been official for a while now: iOS 6 Maps suck. Everyone from Tim Cook to my mother knows it, but now it’s getting scary. Victoria Police are advising people not to use iOS 6 Maps due to safety concerns. What are those safety concerns? Oh nothing, really, just people stranded deep inside a remote national park.


Trial By Fire: Inside The Gutted Telstra Exchange Building (Photos)

At 4am on Thursday morning, a small fire broke out in the roof of a Telstra telephone exchange in the south-west Victorian town of Warrnambool. Over the course of the next few hours, the fire would tear through the once-pristine communications hub, leaving it a sad shell of what it once was. The ash has now settled, but 60,000 Victorians are still without basic telco services. Come with us for a tour inside the gutted exchange building.

The sounds of the night ripple through the lining of your tent. It’s a cold night, but the skies are clear. Perfect conditions to spot them if they ever break through the tree line across from you. You poke your head out of the flap to scan the terrain. A twig snaps outside to your left. They’re coming. You load your clip into the slot in your orange rifle, and pray that it’ll be enough to hold them back.


Victorian Earthquake Got Telstra Talking

Clearly, this cat is all out of f**ks to give. While you were all out there in a tizzy about the earthquake in Victoria last night, this cat was playing it cool.

4.4 Earthquake Shakes Victoria: Did You Feel It?

I’m in Sydney, so I’m relying on you guys to say what it was like. What I do know: The world’s top seismologists just happened to be in Melbourne for a geophysics summit. Coincidence or conspiracy? Hmm…


Warning: A Blow Up Doll Is Not A Floatation Device

With all the flooding in both Queensland and Victoria at the moment, it was only a matter of time before someone somewhere decided to take a scenic joyride downriver on the back of a blow up doll. Fortunately it was only hilarity – and not tragedy – that ensued.
