It is todate the biggest non event -- Sadly. The paradox is how scripted the audience has become - did the powers that be Q&Aing need to worry about an out of the box question?? Nah not a chance. I watch the 4 corners before hand and gave up after the Vietnam vet with a gay son "Asked for marriage rights for his kid" and got "ummm ummm ummm no it is not marriage" - but it is not the biblical sense they strive for it is the legal rights which are enshrined along with marriage but so often overlooked.
Talk of environment and carbon pollution. Abbott has his 5% down by 2020 - and does not vary from that - ask does that mean 3% by 2018 with 280,000 immigrants year on year?? Well the answer is.. "By 2020 5% down" - it is an advertising mantra with no substance. As for clean coal - ahh - Slush puppie with no ice - well there is a -- just maybe on that one - running the exhaust gases thru' biosphere with our wonderful world of bugs at work is looking promising - very promising - but might prove too cheap and be overlooked for the pump it underground and believe in the fairies as long as it cost big bucks brigade.. (I used to do geology so am familiar with the concepts required).
As for the other side - better not start....
At least last election you saw most of the front bench on the hustings you knew Maxine Mcqueueueueue, Swan around and that shadow boxing head below the trenches until the fights over - treasurer all Costed up peter,
How(i would (as long as it is not ICC)) against past used by date 07 - even some interest in the clean shaved cooruuuuunning late night oil burner to name a few...
This time around they have to drag the old toy box out (
Not) and dust off the H aaawwrrrrkkksss (me re-write of history
) and the Mark Howzz me 4 the best behaved Mate ham
. And The best mentor ever (how to U turn wooden boats 101 for a budget price of $297,000 per person per month[}:)][}:)])
The circus reminds me of the big bull statue going in to Birchip up Mallee way What a massive set of sack marbles on that number - shame no picture to make the point - but
did U get a look at!!!.
All day every day they rush around with 6+ staffers and upwards of 40+ media...
Imagine "Hello Joe my name is "Let me spend alot in your marginal seat" can we have a normal conversation.. Well hello!! possibly 2 ordinary bods on the street and this traveling fish tank gasping for oxygen -- What a shame.
Organise some soap boxes in a park in advance and at least have a balance of numbers some fresh air and some genuine interaction.
But it is so bland in the last to make a mistake race
that the stunned mullet expression of the electorate this last week
might -- just might see some real philosophy some real passion some none forum agenda agenda.
And then may be Gruen and chase again on Wednesday night might just some it up.
Safe seat electorates are frustrating places at times..
Psst If it is another NW'ly 15+ on Saturday I am out the country being an Aqua plow
- definitley vote below the line for the senate - no bicarmel state politics in QLD is a shocker.
