Pollies are up to their old tricks, and Delta says no to a big rock.

The Coalition Majority in the Senate plan to continue to block K-Rudd’s proposed roll back of work choices. Various contenders for the position of leader of the opposition (that mean’s the Liberals now, not K’s team) had proposed different stance on the proposed changes; lay down, the partial block maneuver, or full block!

I know Tony Abbott, disgraced former health minister was in the running. I don’t know what the disgrace was but ‘disgraced former’ rolls off the tongue so well that I’m pretty sure he was. Perhaps it was his pointy features of the fact that the illegitimate 28 year old camera boom operator was not his. Anyway, Tony wanted to block it all together – but word among the Libs was that no one liked him – or his chances. Was Gordon Nuttel a health minister? Anyone?

Tony didn’t get in. And neither did Malcom Turnbul who I think intended to do the complete lay down. He was supposed to be the front runner after Pete Costello took his bat and ball (there’s a topic for another day). The guy who got in was the favourite in the end. His last name starts with a B – further information will be provided as it breaks.

Mr.B says that the liberals will “stand out ground on the proposed reforms until we know what they consist of. [advisable. Good leadership Mr.B] And we will not be supporting any reform that represents a compromise to the current conditions for employees at work”.

Just as a back ground for anyone that didn’t know. One of K-Rudd’s big election platforms was his roll back of the new IR laws, Workplace agreements and the “fairness test” all of which was designed to give Employers basic rights at work. Union rule, red tape, and choked employment should be restored in no time.

It is said that Brian’s proposal was rejected by Delta on account of the burden she is feeling on being step mother to his children. While the relationship continues – it is said to be on the rocks.

Can I say...

I never got quite what that meant tattooed around the collar of the Blink drummer... but I believe it is likely quite profound.



I found this picture whilst meadering the wwweb and it reminded me of my Blog. Poor little Blog. Poor forgotten Blog. Sue tends to berrate me for any time that I spend on the computer at home - I try to tell her that computers are the future - but she just sighs and growls and grunts. So maybe it's her fault.

My dog demands attention beyond her worth, and whinges until she is taken for a walk. SO perhaps it's her fault.

Or perhaps I'm not that inspired by my own ramblings. So perhaps it's my fault.

BUT! I had a thought. Perhaps I could make the blog ABOUT something and I would find it more compelling. Here's my suggestions based on a couple of topics that fascinate me deeply and might just take the fancy of other folk too. So I am prepared to take a poll on it and be all democratic.

1. Origins of Phrases
2. Collective Nouns
3. History and Facinations of Brisbane Suburbs
4. Our Renovation by Osmosis (I am not just saying that this would be an EXTREMEMLY slow process when I say this will be like watching paint dry - I mean that it would involve watching paint dry - keep that in mind)
5. Political commentary on the development and progress of the Kev-O-Sev government from the most politically ignorant person in Princess Street.
5. Other topic of your choosing.

Happy choosing - don't get it wrong.
