      I think I will read Tony Abbotts tome “Battlelines” Lucy followed by John Howards mini saga “Lazarus Rising”. For “pudding” I shall seek out something from Lord Downers pen - “Noddy” or whatever. Geez that wine yesterday sure has addled my brian fols - now I think I am a Liberal ! hahahhhhhhhhhhhh

      Were 23, and 9 that good that they got two separate ratings?
      Or couldn’t the punters make up their minds?

      The sad reality is that this website is owned by NEWS LTD. Hence it is always attacking the ALP.

      YAWN….

      Too true, Drew. News Ltd may as well merge with the Tea Party - the politics are indistinguishable.

      Drew I thought the ALP was doing a good job on itself and NEWSLTD was only reporting the result, even from leaked info ......

      YAWN too….......
      (a pity they didn’t put more effort into getting a new cricket team).

      There you go thinking again.
      newsltd creates the news. they don’t report it

      The great unwashed loses the plot yet again.

      And Fairfax is always attacking the Libs and the ABC is so left they attack anyone who isn’t on Bob Brown’s private Facebook friendlist.

      Get over it Drew. This is the 21st Century. Read all the options, reject the lies and make your own mind up. Running your life based on what headlines tell you is for the sheep.

      Baaaaaa

      Baaaaaa
