Listening to Dr Emerson raving this morning I wondered too where he has been for the last 2 years. Can't have been in Australia as he listed a growing economy and intelligent Government decisions among other rantings............But, as you say iron_mike_a, he was a target for affection at one stage from our Prime Minister. I am sure he doe not wish to feel the wrath of a scorned woman. No good for his future job prospects eh?
