Oh Foxy,
You berate the Liberals for the expense of the Pacific
solution but Gillard is going for a more expensive solution, the
Timor solution !
Could it just be a case of "Anywhere but Naru !"

Does she really think people will not see through that ?

You couldn't make it up !

Dear Bazz,

I berate the Liberals for the Pacific
Solution for many reasons. As
for the "Timor Solution," with Gillard,
it's early days yet. It seems to me that
she's trying to come up with a solution
that will be acceptable to most voters
prior to the election. Whether she's
successful only time will time. It is a
complex issue that does not appear to be
an "easy fix," for any politician. How does
one remove the profitability of the trade
of people smuggling and the dangers of the
voyage? How does one remove the incentives
for boats to leave their ports of origin in
the first place? Gillard says that a
regional processing center within a regional
protection framework is the answer. But
desperate people may have other ideas.

Foxy, I understand where you are comming from, however, you must remember that the majority of 'big businesses corps' actually belong to thousands, if not millions of share holders, most of which are not rich in thier own right.

Now as for madam PM trying to get her policies in order in readiness for the upcomming election. Where was she when she was deputy PM backing every move from here apparent admired boss.

The voters are not stupid, they can see she is trying her hardest to get this soughted and get her 'ducks in a row' but remember, one hot day doesn't make a summer.

Now this may come as a shock to you, but I will vote for her if she comes good with the goods, although I do think it's a gamble considering her level of support given to Rudds failed ways while holding the office of deputy PM.

I am more concerned with what will happen if they do get back in and go about wasting more billions we simply don't have. Remember, we still have to fix the insulation scandel labor has caused, or at least allowed to happen.

The cost of fixing it is most likely to maske the wasted money in the scheme look like 'tuck shop' money.

Dear Rehctub,

You sound like a reasonable and logical
man. I don't have all the answers to the big
questions, if I did I'd go into politics.
(Just joking). Seriously though, let's wait
and see what happens next. At present I
don't much like what's happening in politics
either. And I don't know how things will pan
out. I do know though what I don't want.
But I'm willing to wait and see what happens
next. That's all I can do at present.

"...so the underachievers, often the 'tall poppies' can enjoy thier pension".

Gee whizz Rechtub you were doing wonderfully well until you blew it with the above line. My parents are business people yet they dont look down at their employees or any other person who later receives a pension as 'under-achievers'. Look out Rechtub as the saying goes: what goes around comes around; keep a close eye on primary industries; meat being one of them, although I do wish you and your family well working hard as most people do.
