    Well I've read bugger all to be honest Hinny, but I do recognise Johnny's modus operandi when I see it. There will be something he's trying to detract attention from. It's how he works.
    NOPE!!!

    Probably the poll result showing Rudd to be the most popular opposition ever, but still...

    he's grasping at straws that's why. he knows bush is going down the gurgler so he's got to mouth of about whoever is challenging. not to mention obama dared mention troop withdrawal from iraq and that's johnny's suckarse thing with W. so anyone who thinks getting out of iraq is a good idea is obviously in league with al qaeda.

    Putting aside Howard's fault, I can't really understand why he would have got involved in this. He is normally a very clever poltician (you don't get elected 4 times being a dumbass), so its a little bewildering. Its good to see Labor doing well, my concern with them is if they can run the economy as well as Peter Costello has done. There are so many things that Howard has being involved in that means he should be voted out (AWB, children overboard, david hicks, iraq etc) but he keeps winning. Who would bet against him doing it again?
    The wind is blowing cold
    Have we lost our way tonight?
    Have we lost our hope to sorrow?

    Feels like were all alone
    Running further from what’s right
    And there are no more heroes to follow

    So what are we becoming?
    Where did we go wrong?

    Fact is ASL sooner or later he's gotta go. And he is getting to the end of his shelf life. So we'll see won't we?
    NOPE!!!

    howard has had a dream run. the economy is strong and so long as the peeps are doing okay materialistically then they are happy.

    i wouldn't bet against howard either but i can always hope. still won't vote for the fucker though.

    labor are better economic managers than they used to be, but the public still trust the liberals with the economy to a greater degree and for good reason. i think the workplace laws will count against howard more than iraq or any other "big" issue like that. iraq simply doesn't impact the lives of most australians on a day by day basis.

    Maybe not where you are ASL but I don't know one person that isn't completely pissed off about our involvement in IRAQ. And I don't know anyone who isn't pissed off about the IR laws either. So maybe it's just that you are seeing it from your perspective and I from mine. :)
    NOPE!!!

    Labour hasn't been in power for over a decade how could they possibly have imporoved thier economic management? Besides it never was bad, the liberals just manged to manipulate very one in to trusting them. If you look at education particularly in Science and technology we are seriously lagging behind the rest of the developed world because there is no investment or governemnt support-departments are run on shoe strings-particularly difficult in innovative areas not currently supported by industry. This is completely myopic economic managment.

    What an idiot. He needs to worry about his own country, not ours. No wonder he's trailing in the polls there.
