The problem is....has there ever been a good and successful female leader in Australia???

By my reckoning....NO!!!

Let's see how she performs in the real world commercial kitchen when all the fire & heat is turned up....so far, all her predecessors have failed and fallen by the wayside.

For all oursake, let's hope that she is made of steel and can withstand the pressure, make the hard decisions and reverse some of Bairds looney beaurocratic decisions!

You mentioned Keneally and I responded in kind. The ALP was dead in the water and along came the Election and she was blown out of it ! That's how it went. A big swing to the Coalition.

You now mention Nathan Rees. He had issues such as the Milton Orkopoulos concern and he didn't want to conform to the `Terrigals' even though they put him into the position. The ALP was on shaking ground heading into the water. They soon ousted Rees and put Kristina Keneally in as Premier who once stated that she wasn't anyone's puppet, anyone's girl. She didn't overpower Rees. The Terrigals gave her the chance after ousting Rees, but she was on a `hiding to nothing'. They were all part of the ALP !

It was later revealed some of the MPs were crooked and then, along came the Coalition, with some of them falling into the same trap as their opponents, and some of them forgot things and ICAC made one remember !

I'll keep on writing that the two largest parties don't really care about us. They look after themselves, just like most organisations, and they have short memories. We need to remind them ever four years. I write that we should look at voting for smaller parties who have helped our cause and for them to become aligned with whoever is going to help our organisation, which happens. Therefore, we help those who help us.

Otherwise, `Keep Them Out ! Kick Them Out For Good !'

I will always wonder with his inside info from his sister/4corners how he was expecting the 4 corners program on the results of the Melb exploits of Charlie Wilson/Animal Aust & Co to go public in Feb to give him the excuse to overturn the overturning of the ban & the whole thing has blown up in their faces with criminal charges & grounds for major civil compensation because Wilson literally let the cat out of the bag.

Jones, a persistent critic of the outgoing Premier, also questioned Mr Baird's stated reasons for retiring: a number of major health issues affecting his mother, father and sister.

"Across NSW people would say 'What about the families who have been ruined by the greyhound ban [and] gone broke because of the lockout laws?' " he said.

"Michael Baird has cut and run.

"There are thousands of families who are facing those problems. And they've been affected [by government decisions]."

Some weekends on the Gold Coast, yes that sounds very nice,
I think we'll buy a unit, a steal at half the price.
Perhaps we'll fly there New Years Eve and see the new year in,
I've got a friend in corporate land, for me it's all win win.

My colleague he's a traveller too, though he prefers the west,
Cable Beach up there in Broome, is where he likes it best.
Finance there is critical to the health of our great nation,
Karratha or Port Hedland? No, not on this vacation.

I am a federal minister, I'm on the public purse,
if I ever have to spend my own, it's quickly reimbursed.
Before I got this top shelf job, I was having trouble saving,
but though I now have loads of cash, a pay rise I am craving.

Life here in the cabinet, is a privilege there's no doubt.
Access to allowances, it's always someone else's shout.
It's not that I'm entitled, I never feel that way.
It's just that here in "pollie land", someone else should pay.

The thing that you all must now understand but the politicans either do not know or more probably - do not care about - is that they are NOT elected members of the Commonwealth of Australia.

Instead they are elected members of the Australian Government - a body that we the People of the Commonwealth have never been told is NOT a lawful common law constitutional government - but a corporate administration working - in some as yet unexplained capacity - for the Commonwealth. Not for you and I.

So why are you and I paying these people to tell us what to do?

" WHY ARE YOU PAYING THEM"?

Me, I am not prepared to take the chances or the consequences, however, if you are right and believe in what you say...

Test them out mate...and in the words of "The Eagless', "TAKE IT TO THE LIMIT"!
