Bazz, Tone attracts names like fly's to a fresh cow pat!

The Russians are coming! the Russians are coming! Seems a fleet, well at least four, Russian warships have been sighted of Australia's north coast. Our PM is just as mystified as the rest of us as to what they are up to. Time for some more shirt fronting me thinks. Tone go get em! Could Putin be about to shirt front Abbott, in the Russian style, battle ships at ten paces.

I find it very interesting that with the title G20 for this thread and all those in the know prior to the summit not one comment has been made during or after the G20 summit.

I'm not trying to fire up the comments with this post, just saying...

The final communique, to paraphrase Julius Caeser

"I came, I saw, I departed."

And the word from Tony Abbott from the end of 'Looney Tunes' Cartoons.

Thanks Poirot. I like it.

I've got to admit that I had high hopes for
the G20 Summit. This was an opportunity
for our Prime Minister to make his mark -
to world leaders assembled to discuss efforts
to increase global economic growth, and deal
with a huge range of issues from trade, the
environment, economic growth, and so on.

Instead our PM gave one of the strangest
speeches. Our PM talked about domestic politics -
he lectured on his efforts to de-regulate university
fees and introduce a $7 payment to see a doctor.
And he then complained how hard it's been to get
these reforms through the Senate.

In contrast the US President, Barack Obama talked
of a world in transition dealing with Ebola and
climate change and the investment of $3 billion
in a Green Climate Fund. "You've got to be able
to overcome old divides, look squarely at science
and reach a strong global climate agreement
next year."

What a wasted opportunity for us as hosts of the
Conference to have placed our emphasis on
domestic politics much to the bewilderment of
most present and failing to keep climate
change off the agenda.
