For poor Julz, it appears to be getting grubbier by the minute.I think Rudd is having a ball, why would he challenge, there is more fun to be had taking the pizz.
http://www.theaustralian.com.au/new...ift-pms-standing/story-fn53lw5p-1226271184311By the afternoon, the PM had to sit uncomfortably beside former Labor leader Simon Crean while he was at the dispatch box during question time. Trying to score a point against the Tasmanian division of the Liberal Party (over an issue no one cares to remember), Crean said: "I say when you enter an agreement, you've got to honour it."
Nice line, except it sounded like it was directed firmly at Gillard over the Andrew Wilkie poker machine deal or her pledge the day before the 2010 election not to introduce a carbon tax.
I heard through someone who would know that Crean and Gillard loathe each other.
Why is this stupid Government proping up Holden when the company offers workers an 18% pay rise over 3 years.
I don't know what those workers are currently being paid; that seems to be kept under wraps.

As the year wears on, expect more revisionism from the luvvies.
Mike Carlton, who informs us that his wife is a Four Corners producer, advises us that the Building the Education Revolution was in fact '..by any fair measure, a whopping success..'.
Mike goes on '...[the BER] rescued the building industry from a catastrophic collapse, exactly as planned...Only 3.5 per cent of schools complained of a dud deal; mostly in NSW, which was not the fault of the feds but of incompetence in the state bureaucracy.
Yet the conventional wisdom, whipped along by right-wing rabble-rousers in the press and on talkback radio, is that the BER was a shambolic waste of billions. And nothing the government does or says has changed that perception - not one whit..'
So you see, according to Mike, it's just that the Govt didn't sell it properly. It's just those darn right-wing rabble-rousers.

Hundreds of tradies were ripped off and a lot were sent to the wall from the ber.
Ditto via the pink batts scheme.Hundreds of tradies were ripped off and a lot were sent to the wall from the ber.
And several schools which had smart new halls built have since closed, such closing having been planned at the time the new building was done.Over in the wild west a lot of schools have nice new halls for the kiddies.

But lets focus on the negative it't a liberal thing
Oh you mean like the one at my kids school where the kids don't actually fit in the hall. Or canteens that don't have enough room to actually fit the food in and prepare it. Yeah let’s concentrate on idiocy, it’s a labor thing. And didn’t you have libs in WA State while the BER was going on?
The schools that had actual control over what they wanted built (private/some public) received a quality product that fit well with the school. The others got some pretty shonky work. There is a long list of gripes but it's pointless to go over it again.
On another note, more corruption to come out in the coming weeks with NSW Labor. Will be interesting to see if any fed labor get caught up as well. This one will trash the Labor brand if they connect the dots. Better hope they knock off the guy before he spills the beans. Looking at some of those ex union grubs might be an idea as well
