I hope anyone who was watching Ch 7's "Break free until a result" election coverage in the Spencer Gulf and in Broken Hill are happy with it. That was soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo boring to work on.

[QUOTE=nota;764568]Thats a bummer and hopefully indeed :(
Btw a mate just got his BA XT V8 converted to dual-fuel by Parnell in Sydney. He recorded 22 petrol-mpg on the way up to Parnell, and 22 gas-mpg on the way back! Unfortunately its the old-style vapour gas setup not the new liquid gas systems which (apparently) virtually eliminate the possibility of the dreaded backfire[/QUOTE]
Yeah mines vapour also, should be fixed soon hopefully, mine was getting the same economy on LPG about 350km from 55L
Im glad labors in, except there will be plenty of nay sayers with the doom and gloom of the economy. How the unions will take over the nation, BLAH BLAH BLAH. The labor goverment is very conservative like the liberals anyway. The only difference is Johnny the snake is GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONE

Mr Howard you have been evicted, It's time to leave the big brother house:D.
[quote=IBrake4Rainbows;764633]I think we need to pay respect to a man who's served his constituents for the past 35 years. whatever you think of his politics, he's a consumate politician who will likely do the best thing by his party and stand aside without fuss - leaving the door open for the Liberals to work out precisely what the hell went so wrong for them.
I salute you Johnny, but you just stayed around a bit too long.
What a turn up for the books though RE Bennelong! Maxine McKew was a killer candidate though - and the way the campaign was run was genius. Celebrity candidates who genuinely poll around their electorate created a double threat for the Prime Minister - he couldn't focus on his own seat and the country at once.
Having said that - yay. Although Rudd's victory speech was long winded, repetitive and sometimes completely irrelevant (Bernie Bantam?) He'll do a fine job, I've no doubt.
It's now a senate thing, I suppose. Where predictions indicate the Democrats are no longer represented in the Senate. Interesting to see the Greens not getting a seat in the Lower house - you'd have expected at least one.[/quote]
You know what gets me, When he brought the GST in he lost the votes, Labor got 52% but somehow they didn't get the seats to win.. So in my books that means the Australian people voted against the GST..
I will think of him with a bit of a funny laugh, The guy that tried to bowl:p The guy that loved his sport but couldn't play it, He was a tough old bastard who hung in tough, But did stay to long, And i think he did that only because he didn't trust Costello as he would lead us to believe.
But farewell in your new life outside of parliament, Keep walking and have fun and sit back with your bloody huge pension and live well.
Now Time to ****en Party!
I hope Rudd labor will fix our school they are a disgrace to the world fix them up and public hospitals stop this nit picking with states and take control of them grab the bull by the horns and fix it.
Get on drought hard and fast and please give us some cheap alternative power to fossil fuels.
Keep unemployment as low as possible keep the budget steady look into alternative fuels and don't **** up:p.
congrats to labor...
now you have no one but yourselves to blame when the hopitals are underfunded, the trains break down, theres not enough police, the schools are in a shambles... no more crying that its the feds fault. Its all on you now.
Whats this about fixing schools? in case i missed a massive piece of legislation that somehow slipped through schools are controlled by the states not federally. As are hospitals.... so unless Rudd somehow takes control back from the states... nothing will change. Except every irresponsible, destructive turd gets a shiny new laptop to pawn off on ebay...
There wont be money removed from them as there was in the past, I herd 1billion was removed from the public hospital system by the fed government.
Public hospitals are running hard because Medicare doesn't get you seen at your local GP like it did in the past, So parents go straight to the hospital as Medicare gets you seen for free still even with some medication.
The trains only break down in Sydney:p.
shit, i leave for a week and labor gets elected
that'll teach me to be neglectful
don't **** it up Krudd :p

annoyed much :p
The fact that the States and the federal government are now on the same page will likely end a lot of the headbutting that happened on issues like Hospitals and education - because as you say, they can only fight within themselves.
Krudd's already said if sufficient actions not taken by 2009 he's taking steps to take over hospitals federally. and rightly so - if they can't sort something out by then they're in real trouble.
Education is also another issue where state/federal harmony ,will help - I'm for increased funding for each side.
He's hit the ground running, and with Costello taking a step back from the Liberal front bench, there is a big void on the other side of the chamber perhaps making their job that much easier.
the Laptops you speak of.....it's better than a non-means tested money-throw, surely.
don't we all get free broadband now?
I think we all just get broadband. Including the country yokels.
god help us - Hicks with Macs.
I'm always annoyed at the "Broadband for the country" argument. They're more than entitled to it, but there's always going to be a limit to it. It's unfeasible to run a cable or Fiber Op line to each house, and they can't have ADSL because of the the physical distance limitations of the technology. WTF is wrong with satellite broadband? Really? They can see the sky, they can have satellite.
I still cant get broadband i had to go wireless:p..
My nephew currently gets a mac laptop from his school, But his mother pays out $50 per month for it..
But i will say this the Humble little PC has taught me more in life then a class room.

This is done for many farmers, but there are places (like my parent's) that are considered to be in town but have a total fail on any other broadband service.
Mobile phone reception (and therefore 3G 'net) is woeful, too far from an exchange for ADSL, yet apparent under the existing system they are 'urban' (2nd last house before farmland) and not entitled to anything better than dial-up.
Father has looked at the current satellite services, but like many oldies doesn't like the idea of a 1.8m sat dish on the roof.
Hello my fellow Aussies.
Clutch came down to my place for a week and left sunday morning.
some hooliganism was undertook at this dustbowl along the putty road by me and the guy driving the pulsar. (I was vastly more sideways)
clutch asked for these photos to be realeased into the wild. as you can see, the cars get progressively crapper left to right.
