The Australian Equivalent of the Old-time Comedy Theatre, Federal Parliament, has a NEW Opposition Leader, Tony ABBOTT.
Wasn’t there once a Comedy Duo called Abbott and Costello? I can remember that the Liberal Party once had a Leader called Peter Costello!
What happened to Malcolm Turnbull, the Pseudo-liberal, with almost Laboresque Ideals? He got shafted by the most ruthless and cut-throat band of assassins the world has ever seen; The Liberal Party conservatives. His environmental Concerns and desire for an Emission trading scheme was honourable and correct except for the hidden agenda of his interests in various forestry operations in the Pacific Islands.
Tony Abbott will not contest the next Election as Opposition leader, as he is no Leader, he is only a Care-Taker that won because no one wanted Joe Hockey as leader. The liberal front-bencher that I tip as the next leader to contest an election will be Senate leader Nick Minchin. My personal choice for the Liberal that should be leader is Wilson Tuckey, he at least says what he means, a rare characteristic in politics,
So the Traveston DAM on the Mary RIVER in Queensland will not now go-ahead. Peter Garrett, the Australian Federal Minister for burning beds and Funny Dances has over-ruled Queensland Premier Anna Bligh. I love LABOR politicians when they squabble.
I have finally decided to engage in further studies. I enrolled in Bachelor of General studies offered by Griffith University and OUA. The Open University Australia (OUA) is a collection of traditional universities that work together to provide an online facility offering great degree level courses. The 2 initial subjects I have enrolled in are PAC11 (Globalisation in Asia Pacific) and Modern Mandarin 1A.
I got all my Study Period 1 (Semester) Modern Mandarin materials yesterday . There is a lot of learning, but it is nothing I can not handle. When I feel confident enogh with the language I may start a few Chinese language posts.
The main trouble with American politics is not the politicians. It is the AMERICAN PEOPLE, they continue to elect Wealthy IDIOTS, Ex-Actors and Supposed Football heroes instead of people with ability.
American People are also to blame for your abysmal education system, Egocentric attitudes that AMERICA is always the Biggest, Best, Brashest doesn’t help. It is time to realise that USA needs to actually be taught some home truths.
Newsflash
Not all Americans have a GOOD education.
Not all Americans have a GOOD job.
Not all Americans have good health care.
Not all Americans get a FAIR deal from idiotic governments.
America has a MASSIVE National DEBT. It is far from being the wealthiest country.
America does not need to meddle in international politics, when it has no effective internal political structure.
BUT the Biggest Home TRUTH.
AMERICA is not the BOSS of the WORLD.
USA is NOT the only country in the world.
In 1776 Americans rose up in revolution to fight the oppressive political system and control of the IDIOTS (British Monarchy) in control at that time.
Now the only thing Americans do is whinge on the internet via blogs, forums and chatrooms or listen to idiot TV/RADIO shows like Larry King. Instead join a politic party or interest group. Be proactive not complacent. Remember the famous Abraham Lincoln speech at Gettysburg does not mention POLITICIANS
