Oh Lexi

'Dear runner,

'What sisterhood? I am an only girl in my family.'

and you accuse me of seem 'Epistemophobia'

Surely you can do better than that.

Rainier,
don't hold your breath. I've asked 579 some time ago to name just two bills passed to our benefit. Nothing to-date.

individual, oh, i quietly suspected that, lots of useless hair splitting legislating is what happens when industrial lawyers become politicians..oh dear.

Howard predicts Rudd will roll Gillard

Great rant Austin, but all based upon the myth perpetrated by all the LNP commentariat, that their parties possess economic credibility.

As I was driving home only moments ago, an independent economist (Steven Large ?) was explaining (on the radio ABC drive) about how a $25 b, hole was created in the budget during the last years of the Howard Costello Govt and inherited by Rudd, still remains unresolved. Created by baby bonus's and tax relief for the wealthier people etc (middle class welfare), pork barreling, advertising, etc. Todays bottom line is affected by the economic measures of the Howard years.

The Victorian LP Govt for example, has pinched money from Peter's inheritance, to pay Paul, so Paul can show a budget surplus. Meanwhile, a sound Victorian economy inherited from Brumby continues to contract under Bailleau, and the State Govt decides to sack another 600 public servants for good measure in it's budget. A Gov't elected on a wave of cows running through Victoria's Alpine National Parkland, I feel so represented (not) by the model for Govt we have, here in Victoria. They cant even find someone willing to head their anti corruption body, because the job is a crock, a sham.

You have not addressed at all the point I make Austin Powerless, with regard too Abbott's wilful planned budgetary deceptions during the last election. Abbott is the first politician in Australian political history to introduce the concept of designer lying.

Allow me to explain, first of all you plant a seed based on a a misleading concept, and then you keep saying it over and over. After a while it becomes mantra , people start believing it, viola, favourable opinion polls.

And finally, do you even really know yourself , what it is that an incoming Abbott Govt has in store for you Austin. I certainly don't.

Dear runner,

I'm trying to simplify things for your understanding.
But if it's too difficult for you.
I'll certainly try to better clarify things for you
next time.
