In 2007 he was Pm of Australia

Then Kevin 07 won
Then the faceless men struck
Julia gillard was installed
And survived a hung Parliament thanks to these to men of integrity.
And achieved great things but sadly there was too many walls stacked in front of her but she did
deny this thug the keys to the lodge.
Now
Now he is back and nothing will change that but,
Who would you prefer to lead Australia for the next 3 years? Him
Or them


gigilene,
What a great suggestion for puffy! 🙂

UN carbon prices rally on shortage of new projects
July 19, 2013 – 8:36AM
The longest-ever rally in United Nations carbon prices shows little sign of easing as traders bet companies running emission-reduction projects will stop creating credits because it’s no longer profitable to do so.
Lol, TAbbott looking a lot different in that photo than he does today. 😉
And another coalition talking point bites the dust –

BREAKING: @fitzhunter announces Indonesia to take additional 25,000 head of live cattle over next 3 mths. NO weight restriction #liveexports

.@fitzhunter says @KRuddMP brokered #liveexports deal in meetings in Indo 2 weeks ago. Indo prev slashed quotas after a temp Oz ban in 2011.
thanks,
Yes I have emailed all vets in the state and all councils too.
The chips store info, they don’t have a GPS function.
It is very unsophisticated of the msm not to point out that the Iran visa decision is a result of good nation to nation liaison and negotiation over a long period of time. SBY would have to do his own politicking and negotiating in his own government before he said yes to this.
I wonder what price we paid/will pay?
puffytmd,
The same price we probably would had to have paid if FPMJG had been the one announcing it.
leonetwo,
So much for Julie Bishops tubthumping speech about the Live Cattle issue in Darwin last week. 😀
Announcement about new asylum seeker arrangements is apparently at 2pm today.
According to Barnaby Joyce, the Coalition are going to be bringing out a
‘Dams Report’ soon.
What I wonder about all this is how many of the very vocal supporters avidly against damming the Mary River in Queensland, who were Coalition voters, are going to now come out against Coalition policy to dam just about every other river in Queensland, the Northern Territory and NW Western Australia?
😀
Right on!

Huh. Every time I switch on the radio lately it’s just in time for an important political interview.
Denis Napthine is in Ballarat telling lies about Federal funding for Victorian hospitals as usual.
I’m very disappointed with Mike Cooper, the local interviewer. All he’s doing is reading out Liberal talking points to the delight of Premier C10H8.
all we are getting in the lead up to the election proper is “bill-board politics”!
Premier Napthalene. lol @ Kirsdarke.

BREAKING NEWS: Craig Thomson has won the right to have his case heard in Melb Magistrates court
leonetwo,
Is that the right for the case to be heard before the election, as in immediately?
C@tmomma
Who knows? It will be back in court for a special mention on 16 August, I would think a date for the hearing will be set then.

Looks like the current government has returned to backgrounding journos full on. Most new announcements have been pre-empted in the press, the latest being what is going to be announced this afternoon. We had Benson and Riley this morning and now the ABC confirming the expansion of Manus.
The MSM are happy again they have a government playing their games. Could this be some of the reasons why the MSM is now (sort of) asking questions of the opposition.
Manus Island upgrade into a full regional processing centre was announced by PMJG during her visit to PNG with funding for construction of the permanent facilities aallocated in the budget.
What will be more interesting is what else Mr Rudd announces today and what “incentives” the Australian government is offering PNG to take on this role.
halloweenjack1,
Bingo!
You scratch my back, and I’ll scratch yours! 😉
Further to my above post.
The OM just ignored the announcement by PMJG at the time.
They had more “important ” issues to worry about.

The bad weather here has just abated leaving lots of trees down and sever power outages that are nowhere near fixed. We only had one overnight call out – for alarge tree blocking the main road. I was back in bed by midnight so it wasn’t too bad.
Hi BK
Good to see you are safe and well
Damn this site is eating up all my comments today.
That soft interview was probably the only good thing to happen to Napthine today. He was met outside the radio station by angry paramedics demanding wage negotiations.
Also apparently he was bullying journalists yesterday.

Oh dear, the abbott and Joho predicting the sky’s fallen in since the govt announced the FBT changes.
TA: “I bleed for them.”
gigilene 😀
SH-Y getting her ounce of publicity. She is one senator I would love to see lose her senate seat.
How to take the wind out of LNP sails over FBT brouhaha. Exempt Australian built vehicles.
BK. didn’t have any trouble down here in the mallee…save bloody windy weather…was it right through the hills?
Craig Thomson’s statement.
http://twitdoc.com/view.asp?id=102173&sid=26U5&ext=PDF&lcl=STATEMENT-BY-CRAIG-THOMSON.pdf&usr=DobellThommo&doc=154664867&key=key-iac8ab59kkyiyrrj3l8
HJ1, very good. That would really be interesting
Well, News Radio’s been no help, I can tell you that. The last update I heard was about half an hour ago and it consisted of:
– Abbott – the car market in this country is going to fall to pieces
– Manus expanding to hold 3000, no grab from any Govt member
– Morrison – we’ve heard it all before from the ALP, can’t trust ’em
– Thomson’s trying to limit his penalty by having his case heard by a magistrate
They’re back to the old approach: tell us in their own words what the ALP are doing, with a touch of editorial comment thrown in; let the Coalition representative get his message through via a grab.
Re Thomson, their main points of interest were that having the hearing held before a magistrate will limit the maximum penalty to 5 years jail, the total number of charges is 171, the costs involved total $26K, and that works out to $150 per week for the time he used the card. Oh, and the charges include x rated movies, escort services and buying cigarettes.
Let’s just say News Radio aren’t interested in doing him any favours. They’re laundering all the worst interpretations possible through the news cycle.
It’s all crazy now…..
I don’t know about the rest of you, but the whole political scene seems do be going crazy now…like there is no soild ground anymore, just politics to win, win, win!
I reckon we’re all going to hell in a handcart!

A day or so back you wrote about some surveillance planes. The French may have got some “interesting” shots .

Fred Towler was keen to go. He was 23 and his ship had government orders to steam 4300km from Auckland to patrol off Mururoa Atoll in French Polynesia………Waiting weeks for the French to detonate a nuclear warhead, the ship’s company, off duty, amused themselves with a Miss Otago contest, games of poker and bingo and a naval version of snakes and ladders called “uckers”.
French military planes flying overhead were greeted by the sailors on deck with “brown eyes”.]

Hi jaycee
There was widespread damage and power supply interuption through the NE section of the Hills. Power is still out for some.
Tha Angus creek which runs through our property to the Torrens is running a banker and the ground is totally sodden.
jaycee
I agree, now that I have no emotional involvement it just seems like the politicians are all on another planet.
Pyffy, thanks for your feedback 😀 I’m glad you liked it 😎
Cheers 😀
Tony Abbott won’t debate but he’ll go to a “peoples forum”

kaffee – I do archives stuff.
The actual ICJ injunction to stop the French atmospheric testing I’ve held in my hands. My then boss, Pat Brazil, bought it home from the Hague and chucked it in his office safe along with WM Hughes wig!
On another site ex-tanker ‘Crank’ was explaining his experience of an RF1-11 pass by to me last night. About all he got was a large noise and he saw the arse of it departing!
He got to see the photos later – his reaction although he didn’t say so seemed to be ‘gone for all money’!
And am I just being a bit too cynical to think that the questions will go something like this…
Tony Abbott won’t debate but he’ll go to a “peoples forum”

Er, don’t you mean “chosen people’s forum?
Rudd announcement now. None are coming here. Seems all are going to PG.

yeah you’re right. By the way this is just hilarious
