i shudder to think what foreigners think of us now
I wouldn't worry, each country has their own array of ministers and politicians who are complete numpties. Over here some ministers are trying to pass a Digital Economy Bill that allows them to temporarily block someone's internet access if they suspect them of downloading stuff illegally (no proof or evidence required) until the matter is investigated by a court of law. That's bad enough in itself (it blocks the whole network, so anyone else using that network but not downloading stuff illegally loses their connection) but one of the ministers, who I believe to be the head of one of the broadband/internet departments and one of the key people in the writing of this bill, wrote a letter to someone explaining the nature of the bill, in which he described the IP address of a computer as being an 'Intellectual Property' address _________________ Jamie

It is a little ironic. The treasurer, who buggered the economy, pissed the surplus against the wall and wants to kill mining, got a promotion to deputy PM. _________________ So even the rain that falls isn't actually going to fill our dams and our river systems

Why is Australia the same as McDonalds? They are both run by a red headed clown.
They say we may have our first indigenous MP in the lower house. His experience in health would be a benefit to Australia, assuming his party forms government.
The existing government may have to do a deal with the Greens to hold on to power. I wonder what concessions would have to be given to ensure supply. _________________ So even the rain that falls isn't actually going to fill our dams and our river systems

How accurate was this?
It is so sad to see people losing their jobs because of dreadful decisions by the current federal government. (Just read about Daniel.) Their own predictions are for more people to lose their jobs. Their forecasts got revised to be far worse after ten weeks last time.
The hidden jobless are the casuals who technically have jobs but just don't get enough hours to make ends meet.
And speaking of necro, just pull these knives out of your back and KRudd is resurrected. _________________ So even the rain that falls isn't actually going to fill our dams and our river systems
