Dear Keith, please don't get your knickers in a knot.

I have the greatest admiration for the Surf Lifesaving Movement and have always been an avid surfer myself.

I think Tony would be best served if he became the Minister for Sport. As a prospective Prime Minister he is a complete dud.

Listening to his stop-go speech patterns is tedious. It's as though his brain needs oiling!

Cheers.

Perhaps but we would be paying a carbon tax that does not address the issue. A boon for the brokerage houses, another added fixed cost to the tax payer.

Coalition into $2.85 with sportsbet. I would have thought Labor $1.60 and Coalition $2.10 would have reflected closeness of election.

I feel that Labor is not impressing with their campaign. Abbott sharper and more concise.

Labor may pull it off, but whether they should win is another matter based on their first term
