Boazy: << the political megalomania comes out eh... "when WEEE get (balance of) power.. ohhh well show-em" >>

Are you channelling the pathetic Steve Fielding, Boazy? You know, the lame duck Fundies First Senator who lost his seat, but threatened to withhold Supply while he still possibly can.

Belly,

JG going into a coalition with the greens is a huge risk. The Greens got an average polling below 4% and the independents all indicated policies contrary to what JG has just agreed with Bob Brown.

Siding with Labor would do little for Tony Windsor's re election chances considering that ALP and the Greens combined only got 12%.

My personal view is that the 3 are making TA wriggle in order to get the best deal, but by Tuesday, TA will be visiting the GG.

Also Considering that Labor never submitted its costing to treasury at the last election, they are hardly in a position to crow. Add to that the $3bn blow out on the $16bn BER scheme, the huge bill waiting for the insulation program, the $6bn sweetner for health (which still needs the support of WA), I would view Labor's figures as a fantasy.

Belly,

Which pork barrel are you talking about? Julia's or Tony's. A little rich considering that Labor was criticised by the auditor general for pork barrelling.

The offer TA made was up to $1bn based on requirements and the estimates Wilke submitted.

Wilke as an ex green was never expected to join the coalition. The offer made to him was such that he could not pretend to his electorate that Labor offered more.

As for the election costing, perhaps you should actually read the report before commenting, as at least $7bn is based on a worst case scenario by the treasury, and their disclaimer says so.

This will all be irrelevant until such time as the country independents make up their minds, and we find out whether Wilke has backed a winner or a donkey.
