I listened to the Red Queen on the Telly this morning for about 2 mins. I then got a nasty taste in my mouth and had to remove the contents of my stomach into the porcelain.
So what's the now-slightly-more-minority government to do? Could they (a) blame Tony Abbott; (b) blame Tony Abbott; (c) blame Tony Abbott; or - wildcard - (d) blame the Wiggles? Let's see how Communications Minister Stephen Conroy handled this dilemma yesterday: "What's really rich is Tony Abbott, a man who could deliver the numbers, stopping a promise being delivered, then saying a promise has been broken." That was probably the most solid choice, but it would have been fun to see Conroy try the Wiggles angle.
THE warning from Health Services Union secretary Kathy Jackson that Fair Work Australia's investigation into Labor MP Craig Thomson's expenses while HSU secretary could be open to political manipulation demands that the government urge FWA to complete its investigation without delay.
Gee it looked like an assassination attempt on Julia and I notice Tony in close quarters during the evacuation. Sad to see hatred manifested toward our pollies.
The American Indian has the greatest case of all. As you see, white man speak with forked tongue. Yet you see black African/Americans claiming compensation (subtly) for slavery and getting it.Can't wait for the British to start asking Italy for compensation for the Roman invasion.
Maybe China can get stuck into Russia for Genghis Khan.
Brazil, Chilli and South America in general should be really getting stuck into Spain, they were really nasty.

Wherever money is involved, corruption and misuse aren't too far away. The ones claiming the world owes them and they have been hard done by are pretty shallow types. No one owes anyone anything. Just squeezin the government teat.I think if the facts are explained, you will find the indigenous australians are getting it also. One just has to ask, is the compensation getting through or being syphoned off.

While we're on injustices, how many nasties in the world live in opulence, have well payed jobs, have chicks hangin off them, have people kissin their ass and cause suffering for a few to millions of people?History is full of injusticies, it is just some people move on and get over it and others want to milk it.IMO

Very ill advised and counter productive actions yesterday. Rightly condemned this morning by Warren Mundine and by an ATSIC Commissioner.That was a case of hatred towards whites, jumping on something and twisting it into another 'Im a victim' story. They sent the efforts of those who have been working behind the scenes for equality back about 20 years.
“So who to blame this time for the “climate of hate"?"
Climatologists have determined that man-made global warming causes climates of hate.
That's our shoeless Prime Minister there. Some image to send around the world on Australia Day. I was told on another thread to get a grip
(My bolds)At the tent embassy, a few hundred metres down King George Terrace from The Lobby, nearly 1000 had gathered to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the land rights protest that never ended. Dogs roamed the crowd and children were playing peacefully.
At 2.27pm, Abbott's comments - or a mangled version of them - were relayed to the crowd over a loud speaker. Abbott, elder Barbara Shaw told her audience, wanted to tear down their precious site. Anger spread. "Where is he?" yelled two young women near the front of the crowd by the traditional firepit.
Shaw knew Abbott was at The Lobby, having arrived about half an hour earlier for an Australia Day function with Gillard to recognise emergency services people. "He's that way!" she shouted.
Enraged, the two thirtysomething women - Marianne Mackay and Selina Davey-Newry - called on more than 100 activists to converge on the glass-walled restaurant. Minutes later the mob arrived.
