Well its kind of all panning out for the best. The Libs
had nearly 12 years and were getting a bit stale. Voting
Howard out was about the only way to give him the message
that it was time to go and prune the roses :)

Kevin 07 is the smartest that Labour have in their ranks
and good news compared to previous lame duck leaders like
Crean, Beazley etc, so the public got it right. I seldom
care which party they are in, as long as they have a few
brains. Keating had them, but the public prefers arse
crawlers to smarts.

Costello realises that he doesent want the leadership
as badly as Australia needs a good treasurer, so he's
not even applying for the job and will eventually head
for private enterprise, where they are better at recognising
talent then you lot are and will pay him 3-4 Million$ a year.
I don't blame him, I would not put up with you lot either :)

Maxine is good news, we need more smart politicians like her
and she is clearly keen.

In terms of changes, I can't see any huge ones happening, as the
principle policies of the two parties are quite similar.

So it all ends happily, a win-win all round!

Bit sorry Barnaby joice went of so badly and a bit too loosely have more hope for him than that.
Our ex foreign minister showed both pain and spite but no understanding he will join Costello in another job soon.
I am convinced Rudd will both bring back new conservatives and green refugees but he will not be other than near New Labor.
Voters demand products like that in good times.
Good but not surprising news Costello put the party first who tapped him on the should?
member for Wentworth most likely it could have been another prominent NSW high profile I see no leader from else ware.
What a sad day for John Howard! no grief from me ,but mate! it is spelled 2 ways Workchoices, is first.
Overconfidence the other, you just thought you could think for your Aussie battlers ,if only you had looked around you would find they went months after you won last time.
Sit quietly John and know .
Your defeat is far far worse than Mark Lathams
Sorry got to hum it again by by by by by Johny good by, ever had a tune you just can not get out of your head?
No I am not a bad winner! you deserve every inch of your loss bloke.

Dear Prime Mininster Rudd

Around four weeks ago it was announced that the Cole Enquiry staff could not continue their investigations into the AWB Enquiry - Due to Lack of funding.?

Mr Howards office when contacted by phone declaired they didnt know who was resonsible for funding it.

We recieved the same reply from Mr Downers office although they did point the finger at -Mr Rudocks office. His staff were in meetings each time we contacted them= for days.

We call upon you Mr Rudd to do The Nationals and Howard wouldnt.

what the Howard Government and The Nationals feared

To ensure your Government allow the AWB staff to contiune with their enquiries which may lead to charges?

Mr Vaile it would seem is very happy for this matter to be closed.

It does seem odd if you were working out the front your shirt was picked on.

Everybody was wearing for for bla bla.

Maybe its just the public who are restricted.
That seems terribly wrong.
Yabby
Yep everythings good.
Nats down to ten.

The Nationals who have deceived our farmers and flooded the country with cheap imports.

Beauty.

Pale, the Nationals have not deceived our farmers at all. The
real problem is your understanding of modern economics.

Some get it, some don't. If you don't get it, thats your
problem. I along with tens of thousands of other farmers,
benefit from the global economy. Cheaper Roundup, cheaper
chemicals and fertilisers, cheaper spare parts, cheaper
machinery, cheaper input costs in general, from A to Z.

Cheaper power tools, cheaper clothes, cheaper cars, cheaper
tvs, cheaper computers, etc. etc. As a consumer I benefit too.

The global economy has also opened up some overseas markets,
like lamb into the US. Sadly, your kind of protectionism still
stops us selling to the EU.

Vaile too understands all this, but I think its wayyy over your
head :)

"Vaile too understands all this, but I think its wayyy over your
head :)"

Not at all Yabby.

Some of us act on principle, others plunder for profit.

And we all know what motivates you.

Yabby
Way over my head ah. Umm.

My brother in law who is a lawyer amoung other things grew up with him.

They went to school together and much to my shame are still mates.

Two months ago Mark provided references for him in a matter he was taking to the court against the QLD State Government.

I think I have had a better oportunity to follow Mark than most.


You call him a hero only because you have no idea of how you have been brain washed Yabby.

Its not rocket science to be able to run a country without shipping off live animals.

Its not rocket science to work out why other countries take these poor creatures alive.

To provide a future and plenty of employment for their countries Yabby.

Mark Vailes office personally ran which programes would and wouldnt be supported through Austrade and Regional projects.

Nothing- and I do mean NOTHING that might give some healthy compertition to the cruel live exporters got off the table.

Farmers Federation and Austrade , MLA are the same. Its like a disease but more cruel than cancer.

Mr Mark Vaile and Alexanda Downer along with some others still have some questions to answer in the wake of the AWB Enquiry.

In 2003 they were warned that funds were going to suspicious accounts.

The AWB are still large live exporters.

Most of the grubs are still operating.

As a matter of fact I would be surprised to see Mark enter into some agreement with AWB
Hes so good at selling ship loads of live Animals direct to Kwait and other destinations to face unbelibable cruelty.

Thats of course if they are not jailed first.

Bring on The final stage of the AWB Enquiry please Prime Minister.
Patience!
