hey - now isn't that an interesting take on it lol.If your a resource bull, Rudds the best bet !
Nice cartoon there, Julia. I would like to see the Federal Government take over health services as I'm sick to death of the constant blaming games played by both state and federal governments. The current system isn't working and trying something different will not hurt in my opinion.In another thread I wondered if Labor in both Federal and State governments might mean an improvement in our woeful health services. Well, perhaps not.
Baghdad Civilian deaths rose in August to their second-highest monthly level this year…That raises questions about whether U.S. strategy is working days before Congress receives landmark reports that will decide the course of the war.
— Associated Press, AP's Count: Contrary to Claims - Civilian Deaths Soaring in Iraq, 1st September, 2007
Miranda Devine's own instant expert status was achieved in less than 48 hours in Iraq.
Her elevation to visiting war correspondent has been met with "scoffing" derision within Fairfax.
Still, from Brendan Nelson's perspective, the selection of friendly reporters to cover his final trip to Iraq before the election worked a treat.
That's the show for this week.
Thanks for being with us and I'll see you next week.

Hi Greggy,
Yes, you'd think any option would be an improvement, wouldn't you!
But the Federal Government's record on nursing homes (for which they have full responsibility) is less than reassuring.

Asian countries are a little bewildered by aged care in places like Australia....families in Australia pass responsibility for their parents and relatives to aged care facilities,and then blame governments for the standards of aged care.
Is this because people are too busy making money,and in most cases excess ,to really care about these things ?
I write with hypocrisy ,because my mother spent the last six years of her life in a high care nursing home.I had more important things to do with my life.
(My wife is a manager of an aged care facility)

On a different note, the press is today full of reports that a growing number of Howard's ministers want Howard to step down before the election. Labour must be really laughing in the background. So close to an election, yet there is growing disunity amongst conservative ranks. Unless Rudd completely stuffs during the election campaign I reckon he's headed for a landslide victory. If a growing number of Howard's ministers don't want him in charge then how do they expect the voters to re-elect them for another term. Maybe, just maybe, its time for Howard to step down and give his replacement a few months to settle in to the new job. The most likely replacement is Costello who will benefit (if sworn in) from a honeymoon period.
Any thoughts?
I wander if Mr Downer has a chance as an alternative to Mr Costello.
Why replacement has to come from treasurer’s seat?
