Stubby Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 What a fine way to start a new thread:MALCOLM Turnbull has today described the new Liberal leader Tony Abbott's views on climate change as "bullshit".Mr Turnbull has vowed to cross the floor and vote with Labor when the legislation is brought back to Parliament next year.And a song:I think I hear the sounds of then,And people talking,The scenes recalled, by minute movement,And songs they fall, from the backing tape.That certain texture,that certain smell,To lie in sweat, on familiar sheets,In brick veneer on financed beds.In a room, of silent hardiflexThat certain texture, that certain smell,Brings home the heavy days,Brings home the the night time swell,Out on the patio weÂ’d sit,And the humidity weÂ’d breathe,WeÂ’d watch the lightning crack over canefieldsLaugh and think, this is Australia.The block is awkward - it faces west,With long diagonals, sloping too.And in the distance, through the heat haze,In convoys of silence the cattle graze.That certain texture, that certain beat,Brings forth the night time heat.Out on the patio weÂ’d sit,And the humidity weÂ’d breathe,WeÂ’d watch the lightning crack over canefieldsLaugh and think that this is Australia.To lie in sweat, on familiar sheets,In brick veneer on financed beds.In a room of silent hardiflexThat certain texture, that certain smell,Brings forth the heavy days,Brings forth the night time sweatOut on the patio weÂ’d sit,And the humidity weÂ’d breathe,WeÂ’d watch the lightning crack over canefieldsLaugh and think, this is Australia.This is Australia etc..

brook Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Well Abbotts front bench is worse than I thought it would be. Calling back the Howard attack dogs is bad enough but Barnaby to finance?I guess the libs don't want to win anything... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ski the Swift Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Tim Minchin can .Have you listened to his song, Not Perfect?It's a good'n. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gryphon strike Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 More balibo confessions. Anyone think it will change anything either here or abroad?Honestly no I don't.I would not be surprised if it was known by the government at the time. It doesn't matter really neither government has the will to do anything about this and honestly do you think the public will get up in arms about it?

OldLordPlumm Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Public will be pissed, but this is australia so no. I'd be happy enough just to see it smear Whitlam, Hawke and Keating somehow, but doubt it will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ski the Swift Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Does anyone else think that the Vet's around here charge way too much and play on the "Well, you could just take him home without using all this expensive stuff, but he may die," theme.My three year old Bull Terrier is sick and we took him to the night Vet, $400 later... we still had to take him to the vet today for xrays and ultrasound. They don't want to operate yet, maybe tomorrow after we pay the fee for him staying overnight... Such fuckers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imp Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 This could be the death of the Federal Liberal party as we know it.My first thought. Are they trying for political oblivion?There'll be a few hardliners who welcome the change, but they're really asking to give the greens and labour a shitload of votes with this change.

Look at the shots from the trials and you tell me if thats a normal sub prop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horza Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 I'm still worried, if the penguins have whales doing sonar for them our subs will be lit up like Mardi Gras for the orca packs to home in on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
