She remains a disgraceful MP. She only resigned as Speaker.
And the Speaker designate, Phil Ruddock, makes me wonder: Careful what you wish for :confused:

The whole show is a joke.

Noco is very sileng ATM too I notice. Busy lobbying for a new speaker i suppose.

There is no productivity any more. Just the footy, the TV, computer games, online trading and one could expand.

My Brother and I are developing a recycled timber shed and the people are just so exited, they can make something for themselves. It has been a revolationary experience.

Bring back self sufficient communities. The pollies!!! they would not have a blo dy clue. :banghead:

I think Ruddock would actually make a very good speaker. He was a good Attorney-General. Bronwyn has been a failure at everything. Only reason she was speaker is because Abbott knew she'd stuff everything up again if she was given a portfolio.

So this is how Abbott thinks is a wise way to spend my money.

http://www.theguardian.com/world/20...-to-have-800000-in-public-funds-for-marketing

Bjørn Lomborg’s “consensus centre” was to spend up to $800,000 of its $4m in government funding on promotion and marketing and up to $2m on high-profile “events” under the controversial and now-abandoned agreement with the University of Western Australia (UWA).
…
But documents obtained by Guardian Australia after a freedom of information request reveal the agreement between the Abbott government and UWA budgeted for Lomborg to spend between 20% and 50% of the grant on “event costs” and between 10% and 20% on “promotion and marketing”. The budget leaves half, or less (between 20% and 50%) to be spent on “staff and professional fees”.

Appears Abbott was more about buying / promoting consensus than actually producing research that would lead to it.

At least the budget crisis is over /sarc

So now the Abbott crowd are attacking non govt MPs for travel rorting, that isn't travelling rorting afterall.

The tit for tat immaturity of those that are supposed to be governing is frightening. Blind Freddy knows that Bronwyn was treating taxpayer money as a milch cow for extravagance...

I'm still waiting for this govt to start being accountable for it's behaviour and activities.....Bill must be getting fed up being the dowager Queen.

finding hard to ever agree with you Noco, but not a reason to give up :D
hope you are OK and please keep being the right wing voice here; with the perf of the current government, it is getting harder to find supporters...not that I would give much credit to the fabians either
Prompt recovery and all the best
