MichaelK,
The organisation is now known as the Citizens Electoral Council, I'd like to know for sure that this little man would lose the next election, however he is as slippery as a 44 gallon drum of snot.

He will manufacture something out of nothing again to frighten the public into staying with who they know, the big question is will the public fall for the tactic again.

The tactic of "divide and conquer" has proven the test of time, doesn't matter the subject, Menzies used to use "the yellow peril" or "reds under the beds" to frighten people, the tories game plan hasn't changed much, but have the Australian people learned from past mistakes?

All these billions promised by that oily lying rodent - just like previous elections howard is trying to buy votes once again yet heh it has worked before. But these "promises?" are they core or non-core that is, of course, are they stinking lying statements or are they fair dinkum? This politician wouldn't know the truth even if it reared up and bit him in his bum. Now costello is sort of promising a big tax cut - the libs and their ever compliant grovelling nats are really running scared this time. Regards, numbat

"Big tax cut" -what majority leaving on hand-overs has from but GST?

Costello tells of a government's responsibility over water supply on affordable prices while some "professionals" called to rip consuming re-usable volumes at a higher rate.

However, an "oily rat" expression itself broadens English practical dictionary substantially.

A man goes up to heaven and is greeted warmly by St. Peter at The Pearly Gates.
Peter welcomes the newcomer and they start a friendly chat.
"Why don't I show you around heaven?" Peter says.
The newcomer welcomes the help.
As he wanders around heaven he is surprised by the number of clocks.
Wherever he goes there are more and more clocks.
The newcomer to heaven puzzled, asks Pete about the clocks
"O" says peter, "Each clock represents a person on earth and every time someone lies the minute hand moves !`"
"Look here is Mother Teresa's the hands have never moved; and here is Nelson Madella's the hand has only moved once." says St. Peter.
The newcomer delighted, spends the rest of the day looking at all his living friends and relations.
Catching up with Peter after a fun day he says, "Great Pete, but I couldn't find Australian Prime Minister John Howard's clock anywhere?"
"O sorry" says Peter,
"God's office gets very hot and stuffy and he uses it as a ceiling fan!"
