But the election is looming.

How fucked off can one be?

Allegations that Mark can produce the knockout punch are left of the mark.

Johnny says no muckraking.

Talkback radio is a quirky thing to listen to at the moment.

Alan Jones remains the biggest Cockhead in radio.

Middle Australia will carry the vote.

Bring back Rex Conner.

Pauline would be a top root.

WE JUST WANT POLICY.


How good would it be?

Or would it?

Rant & rave,but fuck this joint shits me sometimes.

Meridae'n

I just hope Melbourne knows who they're voting for.

Sydney's already sown up.

Mark doesn't have any feet left to shoot.

Are we really voting for Johnny?

Is Natasha dead yet?

Amanda Vanstone would be a top shag. Hmmm, threesome...

I want to kill amanda vanstone with a centrelink form.

Death my paper cuts.

It's my theory that Ms Vanstone got appointed the foreign affairs minister because she created a system that didn't work and the people running it are apparently not accountable.

Wouldn't it be lovely for the government to be able to lose refugees like they lose their centrelink records?

Meridae'n

They haven't lost my records. I still get the quarterly reminder that I owe them $1600 from 4 years ago... you can set your watch by them.

Can we make this a Centrelink free zone? I come here to get away from work, for fuck's sake!

Who is Rex Conner?

Man, I owe them almost exactly $1600 bucks from 2002. Weird.

This is a long story but if he had pulled it off(so to speak) then this country would be very much different than it is today.
.........................................................................................................
Rex Connor and Gough Whitlam introduced a comprehensive package of legislation to assure Australian ownership over Australian raw materials; to give Australia the bargaining power to obtain fair prices from foreign buyers; and to construct a comprehensive national energy grid, as the precondition for further industrialisation, which was planned to include harbours, railways, pipelines and water projects. Connor and Whitlam also planned to develop and populate our almost barren north, an idea he had been deeply involved in since 1961. He had even set up an Office of Northern Development for this purpose, which planned huge water projects for the north. All these projects were engineered, and ready for construction.

All Labor had to do, was to find the money.

Connor was originally authorised by the Cabinet to borrow US $8 billion to finance these projects. This was an astonishing sum for the time, when our foreign debt was less than $5 billion. Given that Connor planned to further industrialise Australia, and therefore to further secure our nation's sovereignty, financiers in New York or London would almost certainly refuse to loan him the funds he needed.

The 'Loans Affair', as it became known,from December 1974 to October 1975, when the government secretly contemplated bypassing the Loans Council to raise $US4 billion in foreign loans. They officially abandoned the plan.
However, Rex Connor, Minister for Minerals and Energy, continued negotiating for such loans through Tirath Khemlani, an international broker. When Connor's role was revealed, Whitlam sacked him. However, the matter prompted the new Liberal leader, Malcolm Fraser, to claim that the 'extraordinary and reprehensible circumstances' of the case justified the Opposition in refusing to pass the Budget Bills in the Senate, as a means of forcing the government to call a general election over the issue.

The rest,they say,is history.

You work for Centrelink?

Surely do, baby!! Have done for seven years and I have no hesitation in saying so. See, I'm one of the good guys who work in the call centres. We never fuck up....we just deal with the rest of the organisation's shit and try to make it better.
