Fish populations need protection I guess we have all seen the fisho documentaries with fish gliding around sunken ships and other debris we have thrown into the ocean so I thought this would have to be [...] Continue reading Community asset or underwater junkyard? Howard snub ‘an insult to Australia’ – ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation). There could be many reasons for this “rejection”. Perhaps they did not like his policies while he was in Government? Former International Cricket Council boss Malcolm Speed says world cricket’s governing body has insulted Australia and New Zealand by blocking former prime [...] Continue reading Howard snub ‘an insult to Australia’ I guess it is / was to be expected, a bounce in the polls and a quick honeymoon. Time for an election? Senator Barnaby Joyce comes to assist Tony Abbott Colourful Nationals Senator Barnaby Joyce was among those coming to Mr Abbotts defence. “What someone might say to their lover in the heat of passion is entirely different, or should be entirely different, to the lady checking out your groceries at the supermarket,” he said via Coalition [...] Continue reading Barnaby Joyce helps out Coalition defends ‘straight-shooter’ Abbott – ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation).

Former Liberal leader Malcom Turnbull will join the Q&A panel this week in his first major media appearance since losing the leadership. It will be interesting when the discussion turns to Climate Change, especially since this is a live show. But then again, it seems that most of the panel (including the host Tony Jones), [...] Continue reading Malcolm Turnbull on ABC’s Q&A – Mon Feb 22 Are the decisions being taken today, and supposedly on our behalf, by our political leaders in the best interests of our children? or to be selfish in our best interests? Perhaps the time has come for a line to be drawn between business and the need to consume AND the needs of people on this [...] Continue reading What about our kids future? When our political system generates leadership spills and fights over some thing as important as climate change it only proves that politicians do not know and live in a short term world. The Liberal opposition leader Tony Abbott appears to have more spots than a leopard and he is rapidly trying to change them again. [...] Continue reading We are in a mess? Four Corners – ABC1 Broadcast: 09/11/2009 Reporter: Sarah Ferguson Reporter Sarah Ferguson goes inside the conservative parties to find out what the party members really think about climate change and why they’re so reluctant to back their leader. In October Liberal Party leader Malcolm Turnbull said, “I will not lead a party that is [...] Continue reading Malcolm and the Malcontents Heads up new TV set buyers. Does the salesperson you’re talking to have a little badge on their jacket that says they’re trained for the job? Otherwise maybe they should be wearing L-Plates. In the nightmare that is the Digital Switch (beginning in Mildura in the first half of 2010), the government is going to [...] Continue reading Digital TV Taskforce? Not happy with merely using his clout to influence Italy’s media, Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi is taking his press strategy to the next level: establishing a taskforce with the explicit aim of trying to shape news coverage of Italy by foreign journalists. The Guardian reports that the new body, announced by tourism minister Michela [...] Continue reading Berlusconi to set up ministry of ‘truth’ Malcolm announces this morning………… “I HAVE A PLAN” The media was caught off guard somewhat when Malcolm Turnbull called a short notice press conference. Speculation was rife that he might be about to call a leadership spill. Instead, he announces his great plan to reduce the massive Labour debt. But the media weren’t happy at [...] Continue reading Malcom Turnbull and the ‘Plan’ Malcom has gone after this dummy spit. Source – ABC News – Turnbull stares down rebels as discontent grows The gist of the article shows all, this has nothing to do with national interest but is all to do with being elected. The liberals and nationals have again shown their irrelevance in todays environment. Love [...] Continue reading Turnbull stares down rebels as discontent grows The ABC has called on the federal government to pass laws to enable consumers to view publicly-funded content for no charge on the national broadband network (NBN). The Australian reports that ABC managing director Mark Scott has said that as the government is funding much of the rollout of the national broadband network, that carriage [...] Continue reading ABC pushes to make online content free Bloody politicians – why do I feel it is all some sort of game to them. The liberal party in Australia really has no idea so they are trying to delay and restrict. Talk about new age dinosaurs. We are going to get the situation where black and white are going to join up because [...] Continue reading Emissions Trading Scheme It is a pity that the critics of those who fill senior levels of various fire fighting organisations do not have to fill the shoes for a few days of those that do. In days of political opportunism, where politicians react in sound bites and write policy based on the next 5 minutes the type [...] Continue reading Critics would not know how to do this job. On The Board and another bites the dust (or soon anyway) The last post at Rambles generated a lot of hits on the Barry O”Farrell article from the ABC. Perhaps it is Barry looking himself? I guess all pollies have media agents searching for references to themselves so they can get an idea of how the public perceives them – perhaps they don’t. Far better to [...] Continue reading Barry O’Farrell again This bloke is having himself on, telling all and sundry that he is the Premier in waiting and just waiting to assume government. Labor is pretty bad, I will agree with this, but I will not be voting liberal until I hear some policy, not just how bad the liberals think labor is going. If [...] Continue reading Who is Barry O’Farrell? It is beginning to appear as if there will be some sort of deal struck on Australian emissions leglislation. I agree that something has to be done but it is beginning to appear as if the whole thing will be skewed towards the big business and existing profits model. The coal industry and now possibly [...] Continue reading Labor and Liberal – taking the $$s and running?
