		<description><![CDATA[Single-issue parties have long been a feature of the Australian political landscape, so it was perhaps inevitable that a group would be created to address one of the more obviously stupid features of the current landscape: the ban on R18+-rated games in this country. On our sibling site Kotaku, there&#8217;s a fascinating interview with the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
He might not be too keen on Facebook, but our Prime Minister clearly didn&#8217;t want opposition leader Malcolm Turnbull to steal an advantage from being the most visible Australian politician on Twitter. Kevin Rudd has launched his own Twitter account, though so far there&#8217;s been no posts of substance. I&#8217;m sure he&#8217;d appreciate a direct [...]]]></description>

In the spirit of the infamous Fake Steve Jobs, Fake Stephen Conroy has arrived on Twitter, making a mockery of our Minister for Communications. As Dan Warne reports at APC, the faux feed is actually the work of Electronic Frontiers Australia, as part of their campaign against the government&#8217;s clean feed proposal. If you&#8217;re opposed [...]]]></description>

Our sibling site Gizmodo explains how CNN&#8217;s hologram interviews work. And CNET offers a humorous/insightful look at last night&#8217;s fervor through ten election night tweets worth remembering.

		<description><![CDATA[Earlier this month, we explained how to get rid of Twitter&#8217;s US Election 2008 bar. Twitter made some interim tweaks to the bar, but has now recoded it so that once minimised, it stays minimised &#8212; a useful result if you&#8217;re looking to save screen real estate and don&#8217;t want to mess with AdBlocker.

The US presidential election is attracting a lot of attention for the role that technology is playing in the campaign, but the most interesting approach I&#8217;ve encountered recently comes from a lot closer to home: New Zealand. As Google&#8217;s official blog points out, Helen Clark and John Keys (the two contenders for the PM&#8217;s job [...]]]></description>
