Philip S.,

Where's the budget emergency?

Here's some more nutty conservatives dragging their country down the tube.

Phillip,

The RBA issues bonds to cover transactional costs and to cover bonds that are expiring, so even when the Howard government was running a surplus, new bonds were issued every week.

Parrot's regular announcements of bond issuance is about as relevant as her announcing the date. Being a typical labor supporter, with the economic nous of a squirrel, she thinks that this is important.

My dear Foxy,
I was Andrew Peacock's bodyguard on many state occasions, "golfing" excursions and private 'estate' weekend functions.
I can assure you that his preference was for young slightly silly blonde females who like the byproducts of good champagne and high quality hash.
Not once did I see him with or hear of him dallying with the 'ball-boys' or caddies.
I hated the man, was probably a bit jealous although the job had its up and downs when consolation was the best remedy for the 'cast off' syndrome.
Fortunately unlike the US Secret Service we did not have to take an oath to "take a bullet" for the boss.
I don't know whether i would have or not.

It doesn't suit Foxy's gay activism to accept a man as successful with women, especially where the women concerned are the aggressors taking the initiative.

Women being sexually aggressive with other women would be quite another matter for Foxy. Foxy would be beside herself with glee in that case and highly supportive.

Different folks, different strokes, apparently. That would always be too much information however.

funny how Foxy and Poirot were not worried at all about Gillards slush funds or Thomson (cleaners money) and prostitutes. Well I suppose like all others they have huge double standards. Just can't see it themselves.

I think it is well documented, much of the current borrowings is to pay the interest bill on the debts LABOR ran up for us.
