Kristina Kenneally meets Mandy Rice-Davies meets Robespierre meets Leon Uris.
"New South Wales Premier Kristina Keneally says the exodus of Labor MPs from the parliament ahead of the next election is just what she ordered."
... and she's telling us that she had control over the rats leaving sinking shrinking ship?!
Apart from me and the rest of the world, who else is sniggering into their knickers?

Post #1000. The string to the node broadband plan we had to have.

Thanks John, at last I now I know exactly what the term 'cognitive dissonance' really means.
PREMIER JOHN Brumby was last night claiming ‘’a very strong result’’ in the Altona byelection, despite the government suffering a large swing in one of Labor’s safest seats.
Speaking to the Labor faithful at Laverton North last night, Mr Brumby said the message from voters was that they wanted the government to ‘’push faster in delivering results’’ in the $38 billion transport plan. But besides that, Mr Brumby did not concede the 12.3 per cent swing against the government contained a broader message.
''If there is a message that I have heard through this byelection - we'll push ahead now. You'll see a government with a lot of energy, with a lot of momentum and with a lot of action between now and the end of the year. This is a very strong result for the Labor Party.''
Ms Hennessy won the seat 57.9 to 42.1 after preferences were distributed.
Her primary vote of 47.5 per cent was the lowest the party has recorded in the seat and a plunge from Ms Kosky’s vote of 60.6 per cent in 2006.
What was it John said? Oh yes - "This is a very strong result for the Labor Party."

The legacy of the Rodent's core and non-core promises lives on in one of the rats leaving the sinking shrinking ship.
Former opposition leader Brendan Nelson [one time member of the ALP] has announced he will quit politics at the end of the month.
The surprise resignation presents the embattled Malcolm Turnbull [one time aspiring member of the ALP] with a fresh challenge, despite Dr Nelson’s Sydney seat of Bradfield being blue-ribbon Liberal.
Dr Nelson said in February he would not contest the next election but would continue serving his electorate.
In a statement released today, he confirmed he would leave Parliament sooner than expected.Labels: I love the smell of burning politicians in the morning.

Does this scenario seem vaguely familiar?
Liberal frontbencher Tony Abbott offered his support to Mr Turnbull, whom he said had not flinched in the face of a sustained government attack.
”(He’s) been under every bit of attack that the government could mount. I mean they’ve thrown the kitchen sink at Malcolm Turnbull this week and he hasn’t flinched,” he told ABC TV.

"Who will free us of this muddlesome minister?"
“I catch trains on a very regular basis, I think everyone knows that,” Ms Kosky said.
“I’ll catch it when it’s convenient for me,” she said.
“I do talk with people when I’m on the system, I’m very available but I don’t want to turn it into a media event.”
Translation of this statement from the spokesperson for the spokesperson who is the spokeperson for the minister.
"We will decide who rides on the trains and the circumstances under which the media event is organised."

Mad, bad and too good not to be employed.
THE state transport minister has announced a change in legislation after the Herald Sun revealed an insane killer was driving a taxi.
A furious Lynne Kosky has slammed a loophole that allowed the killer to drive a cab because his acquittal was based on an insanity plea."
“If this man was found guilty he would not be allowed to drive a cab, whether he had been rehabilitated or not,” Ms Kosky told 3AW radio."
“If he had been found guilty of manslaughter he wouldn’t be able to drive a cab whether he had been rehabilitated or not."
“Because he was found not guilty by reason of mental insanity he’s actually allowed."
Ms (no relation) Kosky, in response to probign questionign form ABC wrok experience investigative reporter Declan Voldemort, said that whilst she was appalled that the insane killer was driving a taxi, she had nothing but praise for the sick anti social homicidal maniac's sterling work focussed on the implementation of the 2089 Myki ticketing cistern.

Vice Presidential candidate, Sarah Quayle.
Our Sarah the Impaler is quite a gung ho when it comes to the issue of the sanctity of life - unless you are one of her God's lesser creatures at the pointy end of one of her hunting rifles.
Every gay baby harp seal, every intelligently designed moose and even the unintelligently designed crab is sacred I say.
... and this Alaskan Annie Oakley could be but a heartbeat away from access to this.
Should McCain win let's all hope he doesn't have a dicky ticker.

"Believe me. I'm Lynne Kosky and I'm from the government, and I'm here to help you ... again and again and again."
THE Government is spending a million dollars on new transport advertisements because the public has demanded them, according to Public Transport Minister Lynne Kosky.
“The reason we have done the ads is, in all of the research we have done with commuters, they say they want information about what is happening on the system,” she said.
“That’s why we have put the ads in place to give better information to commuters; that is what they have been asking for and that’s what we have are providing through the ads,” Ms Kosky said yesterday.

VICTORIAN Transport Minister Lynne Kosky will review her decision to ban bikes from peak hour trains after claiming her department misinformed her on the issue.
Ms Kosky said today her department had told her it had undertaken a full consultation and review which found strong support for banning bikes at peak hours.
“I was misinformed by the department that they had done a full consultation on this and that is what I am incredibly disappointed about,’’ she told ABC Radio today.

Today Ms Kosky said it was important public transport adopt the new system slowly, saying myki might not be fully operational until next year. (That would have been this year, 2008. Yes?)
“We’re still aiming for the end of this year and early next year for the rolling-out of the ticketing system,” Ms Kosky said.
Asked why myki would not begin in June, Ms Kosky said: “We’re not going to roll-out the new ticketing system across all modes of transport until we can be 100% confident that it’s working well (because) that would be unfair to the public.”

Public Transport Minister Lynne Kosky yesterday revealed the system would now cost taxpayers a whopping $850 million to install plus $500 million to operate over 10 years.
Despite the ballooning costs, Ms Kosky said the system was still expected to be running by early 2010.
She said she was incredibly frustrated with the mistake-riddled system, which is almost three years behind schedule, but said tests for the troubled smartcard were going well.
SHE'S FRUSTRATED!? WHO THINKS ABOUT THE STRAP-HANGING TAXPAYER?! But no doubt the redoubtable Lynne will be commissioning another definitive, consumer lead chicken's entrails survey into why said chicken, it's entrails, parson's nose and giblets crossed the road.

Cum again?!
A Liberal backbencher had multiple orgasms on the floor of Federal Parliament tonight.
Victorian MP Jason Wood was supposed to be talking about genetically modified organisms when he ran into trouble.
And just in case anyone missed him talking about “genetically modified orgasms” the first time, he repeated it.
“I support the member for McMillan’s call for the government to conduct an independent broad-ranging scientific investigation into the genetic modification of food and biotechnology to assess not only the health of the crops and the food, but also the potential for contamination, the commercial implications for Australian primary industry, and the benefits and risks associated with genetically modified orgasms, orgasms,” Mr Wood said.
What a silly tosser is young Jason (Nudge, nudge, wink, wink.) *Wood* , the (Boom! Boom!) *member* for La Trobe!
Surely what Mrs Malaprop's lovechild really meant to say was "genitally modified orgasms.
(Thanks to Frankie Howerd, Benny Hill and Kenneth Williams for their invaluable, generous and posthumous assistance in the composition this post.)

Brendan has a way with words - a very unfortunate way with words.
Federal Opposition Leader Brendan Nelson says he is determined to remain at the helm of the Liberal Party.
“I am very determined and I will keep fighting and speaking up for everyday Australians, I assure you I’m going nowhere,” he said.
There has been increasing speculation about his leadership, which has been marked by poor opinion poll results.

Morris, minor protector.
New South Wales Premier Morris Iemma wants to introduce legislation to ban girls under the age of 16 from modelling.
Mr Iemma’s push comes after Australian Fashion Week yesterday banned models under 16 because of a backlash against its plans to feature a 14-year-old Polish model on the catwalk.
