Joolia is Rudd is disguise, note how she commenced her campaign with a scheme to reduce carbon emissions by offering a "special deal" for anyone trading a car over 15 years old. Imagine the fun the shrewd car traders and sellers will have with this one, it will make the bats and the school programme look like chicken feed. Great she ran it by the public and parliament first. The other worrying thing is whenever they ,the Govt, start to do things with older cars I cringe as they mooted years ago about taking all old vehicles off the road because of the fuel crisis a decade ago, I hope for c-rist sakes they don't start that s-it again
O'brien is taking the sword to swan at the moment. Great to see. Somehow I think fools will re-elect this government.

Psychology 101 If you start with a cage containing five monkeys and inside the cage, hang a banana on a string from the top and then you place a set of stairs under the banana, before long a monkey will go to the stairs and climb toward the banana. As soon as he touches the stairs, you spray all the other monkeys with cold water. After a while another monkey makes an attempt with same result ... all the other monkeys are sprayed with cold water. Pretty soon when another monkey tries to climb the stairs, the other monkeys will try to prevent it. Now, put the cold water away. Remove one monkey from the cage and replace it with a new one. The new monkey sees the banana and attempts to climb the stairs. To his shock, all of the other monkeys beat the crap out of him. After another attempt and attack, he knows that if he tries to climb the stairs he will be assaulted. Next, remove another of the original five monkeys, replacing it with a new one. The newcomer goes to the stairs and is attacked. The previous newcomer takes part in the punishment... with enthusiasm. Then, replace a third original monkey with a new one, followed by a fourth, then the fifth. Every time the newest monkey takes to the stairs he is attacked. Most of the monkeys that are beating him up have no idea why they were not permitted to climb the stairs. Neither do they know why they are participating in the beating of the newest monkey. Finally, having replaced all of the original monkeys, none of the remaining monkeys will have ever been sprayed with cold water. Nevertheless, none of the monkeys will try to climb the stairway for the banana. Why, you ask? Because in their minds...that is the way it has always been! This, my friends, is how government operates and is why, from time to time, ALL of the monkeys need to be REPLACED AT THE SAME TIME.
Last Saturday afternoon, in Canberra , an aide to Foreign Minister Kevin Rudd visited the Bishop of the Catholic cathedral in Canberra . He told the Cardinal that Kevin would be attending the next day's Mass, and he asked if the Cardinal would kindly point him out to the congregation and say a few words that would include calling Kevin a saint. The Cardinal replied, "No. I don't really like the man, and there are issues of conflict with the Catholic Church over certain of his views." Rudd's aide then said, "Look, I'll write a cheque here and now for a Donation of $100,000 to your church if you'll just tell the Congregation you see Kevin as a saint." The Cardinal thought about it and said, "Well, the church can use the money, so I'll work your request into tomorrow's sermon." As the aide promised, Foreign Minister Rudd appeared for the Sunday worship and seated himself prominently at the forward left side of the center aisle. As promised, at the start of his sermon, the Cardinal pointed out that Mr Rudd was present. The Cardinal went on to explain to the congregation, "While Mr Rudd's presence is probably an honor to some, the man is not numbered among my personal favorite personages. Some of his most egregious views are contrary to tenets of the Church, and he tends to Flip- flop on many other issues. Kevin Rudd is a petty, self -absorbed hypocrite, a thumb sucker, and a nit-wit. He is also a serial liar, a cheat, and a thief. I must say, Kevin Rudd is the worst example of a Christian I have ever personally witnessed. He married for money and is using his wealth to lie to the Australian people. He also has a reputation for shirking his Representative Obligations both in Canberra, in Queensland and Overseas . The man is simply not to be trusted." The Cardinal concluded, "But, when compared with Prime Minister Gillard, Foreign Minister Rudd is a saint."
Hey.. ya cant knock Thompson.. He proved someone in the Labor Party CAN organize a root in a brothel!!
I'm sorry but when you travel on business all expenses are normally covered aren't they to include what normally happens at home. They cover meals, accommodation, transport etc, so why not if your getting some at home then you should get it while away. It's a tax deduction.
