With a few acres of fertile ground on the rainbelt of the tropics you could give me a team of a dozen and we would prosper.
You don't have to be in the tropics, explod. How about putting your hand up for having a few asylum seekers in your present countryside situation?With a few acres of fertile ground on the rainbelt of the tropics you could give me a team of a dozen and we would prosper.
The situation is quite different. Ms Gillard is still very much alive. It's therefore not in bad taste if anyone were to celebrate her losing government, if that's what happens.Watched the celebrations in Britain after Thatchers death, astonishing really, champagne in the streets and so on then realised we'll probably see the same thing here on Sept 14th.

Totally different when someone dies.
Today's Nielsen poll, published in Fairfax papers, shows support for Labor slipping below 30 per cent for the first time in 10 months.
The poll puts Labor's primary vote down two points at 29 per cent, while support for the Coalition has risen two points to 49 per cent.
On a two party-preferred basis, the Coalition is ahead on 57 per cent, while Labor sits at 43 per cent.
Opposition leader Tony Abbott leads Julia Gillard in the preferred prime minister stakes 50 per cent to 42 per cent.
It is the first time Labor's primary vote has slipped below 30 per cent since June 2012, before the carbon tax was introduced.
The poll follows a big week for Ms Gillard, who has also announced a strategic partnership deal with China and an overhaul of Australia's superannuation system.
Fifty-two per cent of those polled opposed the superannuation changes, despite the Government saying they would only affect about 16,000 of Australia's top earners.
Support now below 30% can't post more as on iPhone but that says it all really Labor are in caretaker mode and should do nothing until the election
They have no mandate left at all
What I was getting at was people will be glad she's out, some might even celebrate.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, just saw Gillard on Ch9, she laughs off the polls just laughs them off, she's flipped, I really think she's a bit crazy. No normal person could brush that aside.

No MrBurns, she has to do that, to stop her party turning on her. If she blinks and shows a hint of doubt in herself, they will turn on her like a pack of jackals.IMO

The Chinese are pragmatists. They know that Gillard is "dead man walking" and that any bilateral deal they made will only come into fruition under a Coalition government.The agreement to hold annual face-to-face meetings with Premier Li Keqiang and a pledge of co-operation on climate change, together with international aid and currency trading, place Australia in the inner circle of China's bilateral relationships.
The budget must be balanced, the Treasury refilled,
public debt must be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom tempered and controlled,
and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed, lest we ourselves will become bankrupt.
People must again learn to work instead of living on public assistance.

I just received a letter from my old mate Cicero. Postal services from Italy are a bit slow, but after 2068 years, it's finally been delivered. As not everybody is still fluent in Latin, I've taken the liberty to translate it:
Seems we've learned sfa in 200 years...
