Midnight Oil

great idea! let's add more bureaucracy, this will surely ensure success. i am surprised they didnt spin this as a job creation program. and with Combet in charge I can hear the corks going at union HQ around the nation. I wonder who will get the contracts? hang on, what am i talking about? this is Penny Wong. before we know it, we will have a program to replace batteries in remote controls with long stick which we can poke at the devices from the comfort of our armchairs. and then they'll scrap that one because "it has been linked" to people poking their dog's eyes out by accident.

"I would like to ask the Prime Minister, can he explain how Scruffy lost its eye"
"well... as I was about to change the channel and watch Eddie Mcguire and Scruffy jumped up. and may i remind the member for Uselessville that it was the previous PM who brought Scruffy to The Lodge"

the thing that really pisses me off is that no one, and i mean no one, got anything out of it. the program is not fixed, the people employed lost their jobs, we have to fork out $41m to help them, the opposition did not get PG sacked, PG got demoted. ok, ok ... i take that back. Penny Wong has more responsibility. nah, still a losing proposition

How could people get so unkind?

Looks like Rudd kept PG on long enough for things to simmer down a little, took some of the heat himself, then moved him (and it must be said, his Department) along.

Politics - dirty one day, grotty the next.
