Merry Christmas everyone! Happy Birthday Jesus!
I don’t expect anything tomorrow because I sold out all my birthdays and Christmas’ for the next 27 years to get Kevin Rudd into Government!
Have a great one everyone and remember what the day is all about.
I’m watching Ernest Saves Christmas….. this guy has such an incredible range.
Brad’s always whining about something. I thought it was all sunshine and light now that Rudd is the man in charge.
Clem Jones, Brisbane’s longest serving mayor, died Saturday after a long period of ill health. He has mayor for fourteen years and quoting from the article:
Through the 1960s he led the council to develop a town plan, seal roads, improve drainage and connect sewers to most of the city.
Under his stewardship, the city bought properties to build underground car parks, which were then topped with public parks and gardens.
In the suburbs, land was acquired for open space and parkland and work started on the development of the Brisbane Botanic Gardens at Mount Coot-tha.
But Dr Jones also closed the city’s large tram and trolley-bus network, replacing them with buses, a move which attracted widespread controversy.
A great loss for Brisbane and the country.
Wayne Swan has warned of further interest rates rises in the next eighteenth months. Of course they’ll be this period of twelve to eighteen months where any poor economic results will be put down to the previous Coalition government. It will probably be similar to what happened when the Coalition first came to power in 1996 and everything horrible that was occurring in the country was due to the many years of Labor mismanagement. I was certainly glad when the Coalition moved on from that. Can anyone remember how long that took? I think I’ll be sick of it after six months but I’d expect it to go at least a year before the Labor government start taking credit for things.
Look I’ve been trying to post!
My crap shit internet bullshit dial up connection jsut wont load the page properly.
It’s enough to make me snap, but luckily my only victims have been a keyboard I snapped in half and a huge dent I punched in the wall.
But then I just remember that we won the election and it makes me feel better.
I got it all on DVD. Maybe I should upload it to the internet if someone else already hasn’t when I get broadband.
I’ve re-watched it twice already.
But the election is over and that is no excuse to forget about politics. No Elections are great, like a State of Origin, a Test Match or the Final Series but that is no reason to not watch the regular season.
And the Rudd team has been busy. Kevin has been to the Bali Climate conference which looks like it has been a success with a last minute agreement to make an agreement to agree at some point in the future.
Kevin then visited East Timor or how he calls it Timor Estay, which is probably what they call it there. Poor old Timor Estay, hopefully we stop ripping them off!
Then we sent out Defence Minister to Scotland for a conference of Defence Ministers where they compare the size of each others weapons…. er….
Which he was hard at putting out a blanket spray of calling other nations not pulling their weight in Afghanistan pussies. And he is right, why should we send more troops when other nations will only pull them out?
But all is not well in Ruddy Australia, as the Chinese like to refer to us as. Haha…I love racial based humour.
We have certain situations that the Rudd Government has to intervene into.
- The possibility of an AwFuL team on the Gold Coast.
- MMM cancelling Tony Martin’s “GET THIS”, which I think is a national outrage of bigger proportions than WorkChoices.
- Star Trek being raped Lucas style in an attempt to re-image the original episodes. Which I think takes away one of its most charming elements, it’s dodgy production values.
- Domino’s and Pizza Hut reducing the size of their pizzas!
- My internet connection getting slower! Once again proving the theory that there is infinite smallness.
This isn’t on! I voted Labor, we won. Why is bad shit still happening?! Not in Ruddy Australia!
Some cool things are happening, like Rudd saying he might use Australian assets to gather intelligence on the Japs whaling. Which in my mind means two things, we are gonna go sick our navy and airforce onto them or Jennifer Hawkins is going to be an under cover Gaysha.
Join me tomorrow when I will contine to say a heap of things I will later regret!
To move away from federal politics for a second, the Queensland Liberals have finally selected a leader after a week in which they’ve looked incredibly amateur, even by Queensland Liberal standards. The new leader is Mark McArdle and I’m sure the reaction of most people will be “who?”. You wouldn’t think it would be that hard to find a leader out of eight people. I guess everyone thought that the small numbers meant that their chances of winning the leadership were fairly reasonable. I still think they should have decided by a pissing contest…
God, we’re going to have a Labor government in Queensland until the end of time the way it’s going. Does anyone think that it’s likely that the Coalition (if there’s going to be one) will win the next state election? Maybe this is karma for the Joh years…
I have to agree with Brad in the feeling that the decision to elect Nelson as federal Liberal leader. Polls have come out suggesting that the general public would prefer Turnbull as Liberal leader. Of course I think much of this decision comes down to a backlash against Turnbull for his rebel ways in the election campaign. Then again, that might be the reason that he’s more popular than Nelson. I think if I was Nelson I’d be sleeping with one eye open because Turnbull looks like a ruthless kind of guy and if the polls start tilting against Nelson… out come the knives.
Brad can talk about the Kyoto Procotol and related boring stuff like that…
