julia's "no notes" and 43 billion

    A great deal was made about Ms. Gillard using "No notes" as the "therefore she must be wonderful" launch gimmick yesterday.
    Even Bob Hawke was crowing about it, so he'd been well worded up too, as were journalists. He got so hysterical at one stage thought he was going to do himself a damage!

    There were, in fact, notes on the lectern. According to Andrew Bolt, on air this morning.

    Just another example of more SPIN!

    Is anyone on here actually PETRIFIED at the thought of this Labor Party Vintage Asassination being given the approval tick by the public next Saturday that it's OK to proceed with this lunatic scheme of planning to spend 43 BILLION $'s of our money, i.e. the equivalent of $6,000 per Australian house, to go ahead with this ridiculous NBN scheme?

    A scheme which we will all end up having to pay through the nose for ourselves anyway? And have to update computers for, etc.

    We are talking BILLIONS of dollars here - not MILLIONS - BILLIONS which have to be added to their already reckless and rorted schemes re. Pink Batts and BER rorts.

    As for doctors/specialists consults on line, they must be dreaming! It's hard enough to get time with any specialist as it is - and usually after weeks of waiting. It's another of their dingbat schemes.

    More spin, spin, spin.

    We will, we will, we will! she recites. I'll bet they will!
    Easy to throw around other people's money with entire abandon, and worry about the consequences years later - if at all.

    At least it'll gain her the stint in the Lodge, and the relevant Power, she wants to badly. That thought makes me shudder. Especially with Swan, then, as 2 IC.
