Hoocoodanode? Via the AFR comes the failure of GetFucked!, the Business Council of Australia’s attempt to build grass roots support for giant blood-sucking corporations:
…the scoreboard shows GetUp! ahead 141,000 to 32.
The figures are the number of Twitter accounts following GetUp! and rival For The Common Good, a political campaign unit set up by the Business Council of Australia to counter GetUp!’s influence.
…For The Common Good has an audacious objective: convince a society used to biggish government to embrace lower corporate taxes and freer trade.
A function on the group’s website that generates a tweet directed at the Liberal and Labor leaders pushing more shopping days in South Australia doesn’t appear to have been used – by anyone. For The Common Good’s few Twitter followers are mostly lobbyists and journalists.
…”It was always intended to get off to a slow start,” says Westacott.

You’d think a leading light of the LGBT movement would know as much.
