Sorry Knobby. I searched diligently but had no luck. Faces of politicians were a barren source. I suppose you have to go back to the innocence of childhood to find the faces of goodness.
 
I managed to pick up a couple of faces of "goodness". We have the PM's word for it that they are both good people.

Tony Hodges

Craig Thompson.
 
This election may be a good one for Bligh to lose. The incoming government could be hit with a huge compensation bill for the mistakes of the Bligh government;

I wonder then at her logic to ensure the voters have time to view the inquiry report before the election.
Or does she know something that we do not? On a guess I am sure she does!!

Bligh is out of the same mould as Gillard. They both lie, cheat and connive to gain political advantage.

Bligh obviously knows what will come out of this enquiry, hence her cunning delay in the election.

Well on ASF I learned there are no good politicans no matter what party.
So I have been in deep thought, how can we operate without them?
I am on my second carton thinking about it, or that's what I told my better half.

Craig Thompson has the innocent look but experience has shown me they are the ones to fear!
 
There is an old adage that you shouldn't start a judicial inquiry unless you know what the outcome will be. Anna Bligh thought she had the Flood Inquiry all sewn up until nasty News Ltd. opened up a new can of worms which showed how the evidence was manipulated.

Sorry no politics.
A manager of a company I worked for told me "one of your problems are you are black or white, you have no gray area".
Yep we are are living in a gray area and its getting bigger every day.

It appears that the delay to calling the Qld. election was linked to Labor getting
their people in place in each seat.

Roll on. roll on, March 24th.

Thank God the Australian Open gave us some enjoyment from the little screen, prior to the shadow boxing during the coming campaign.

Back to the water inquiry.
It appears Labor changed the role of Wivenhoe Dam to water supply and not flood mitigation.
On www.seqwater.com.au you can see the Dam was lowered only 6%(approx.) prior to the wet season.
The original design of the dam to prevent flooding was considerably lower than the level operated.
IMO at the operating levels of Wivenhoe in early 2011, there was no way the dam could save Brisbane from flooding. The original design procedures of the dam were "basterised" to such an extent, it could not do the job it was designed and built for.
The operators were looking at preventing low level bridges from flooding and had a priority for water storage.
It appeared nobody was looking at the big picture. If flood mitigation was a priority, the dam level would have to be lowered at least a month(at low rates) earlier, to prevent low level flooding. It also appears that none of the operators were fisherman.

It appears Labor also sold off the majority of designated dam sites(for future use).
I still cannot track down in the archives where Andrew Fraser was mentioned in holding the dam at 70% to shut down the desalination plant to save the tax payers a bill of $200 million. gee that seems a small number in relation to what the people of Queensland copped. (if it's true???)

the mind boggles!!!
