Well 579, you could have actually read the list but I can accept that would be distressing for you.

Just to help you a little. We started with $22bn in the bank, no debt as we had paid off all the $94bn left by Hawk/Keating, and we had a future fund with a further $40bn. Got all that?

Now we have already spent the $22bn we had in the bank and already raided the future fund by $4.4bn to pay for the compensation for the CO2 tax that we will now have to pay. We have already spent a further $220bn that we don’t have so we borrowed it. That is costing us $112m every day in interest only repayments.

The national debt does not include the $60bn that the NBN will cost as our brilliant treasurer, “send us down the river” Swannie, has decided to put it Off-Book as an asset for future resale? God help us.

It appears that your brain cell count might not be as high as previously thought. Perhaps you might consider a new screen name round about the 100-120 mark? Just a suggestion.

Spindoc, those things you list are such mindless trivia.

The BER is amazing and underspent over nearly 24,000 projects, go and visit some schools dingbat.

As for the rest, it's mind numbing nonsense compared to kids not thrown, two wars, 1 million or more dead, AWB giving $300 million to Saddam Hussein and actual crimes.

The irony is that Emerson's first act was that of a dictator.

He tried to stop members attending a West Papua forum and Laurie Ferguson stated that Rudd would never do that.

So much for Rudd the dictator.

Rudd was being white anted by the zionist lobby in 2008 over the passports affair and anyone with a brain knows it.

If Mark Arbib had a sign in 10 foot red letters screaming I DID IT, his resignation could not be more a confession than if he actually wrote one.

History will show quickly that the media shills were making up the lies about Rudd and told them so often the morons think they are true.

Good morning Marilyn, go girl!

Was Mark Arbib pushed to stand down as a senator?

It appears that after Kevin Rudd resigned, Julia Gillard was working towards creating a Senate vacancy when she approached Bob Carr late last week promising appointment to the Senate together with appointment as the new Minister for Foreign Affairs. Bob Carr is understood to have accepted.

However, it appears that Julia's 'loyal' supporters got wind of her scheme and shouted "no way" to giving the Foreign Minister posting to Bob Carr, insisting that the posting must be given to the ever-faithful Stephen Smith or Simon Crean. Hence Bob Carr's press statement that he is no longer interested in being appointed to the Senate.

Stay tuned for the next exciting episode of the soap opera, 'Julia: We Are Us'.
