hey 'Stationair8" I'd be happy to attend but only if the Dr allows me a drive of his flash Bo, daylight & in the sunshine of course!

Our taxes at work, working to keep the RUDD administration going.
Talk about a junket of the highest order!

Has that guy got the most 'plastic' smile you have ever seen? I was amazed that he didn't 'tweak' the queens bra strap like someone who went before him

I would like to nominate the following Ppruners to attend:
Bushy, Tinnpis, FTDK, Gaunty, EastWest Loco, Pinky the pilot and Captain Wally.
Geez I miss out again...

Perhaps I should have voted Labour!

Trust they will put out some fluffy decorations like they did at the last cringe-a-thon.

Devil

I'd be only too pleased to attend, providing I was permitted to check out the Parliamentary wine cellar!

Reckon Gaunty, Tinpis and FTDK would assist me in that highly worthwhile endeavour.

It will be a load of meaningless drivel designed to make the participants feel good about themselves - but for the rest of us a waste of our money. The silver bodgie had one which ended up tripe. Kev should stop talking and start doing.

Will Kev speak in Mandarin or Australiaaaan?
Will anyone notice the difference?

I see he has the same sing-song voice regardless of the crap coming out of his month!

Kev 07 is big on image and little on substance!

Dr

PS: I'd a gone to the Summit to help the little pr*ck out with a few good ideas - cept the Bonanza's in the shop! ....... and I have a previous engagement - which I probably could have got out of ........

........ Oh, and I wasn't invited!

I really wonder what will come of this two day WOFTAM! I suspect the usual suspects will ensure that amongst various other things there will be......

A call for a Republic.

A treaty between 'Indigenous Australians and the White Population'

A Bill of Rights. (Something which the AG has already dismissed, describing it as allowing the Judiciary to make Legislation)

Lowering of the voting age to 16.

Plus various other 'trendy lefty' wishes. Upon reading the list of names of people invited to attent the 'luvviefest' I noted with more than a little amusement that of the names I recognised, quite a few could be described as belonging to 'the left of the political spectrum.'

Really no different to the Republic Summit of around a decade ago.

PAF, you might be surprised who I know in Richmond, and no matter who or what I am, they still think you're a goose.

I would like to just see Kev start governing instead of all this self promotion cr@p - c'mon Kev you won - get on with the job! Fuel, groceries, interest rates, rogue RBA boss telling banks to do what they like etc.

What is the name of this thread "P.A.F. Cant accept the fact that JH lost the election" Its all happened mate. Have a nice glass of water and a valium. You will realise the world has not collapsed since his passing.

2020 summit opens with welcome

Some extracts from article Brisbanetimes -

Draped in a possum fur cape, Ngambri elder Matilda House-Williams today welcomed Prime Minister Kevin Rudd and 1,000 delegates to her country for the 2020 Summit.

..."The 2020 summit is a chance for Australians from all walks of life to put towards their ideas for building a modern Australia and for us to get ready for the challenges of the 21st century,'' she said.

...Ms House-Williams said she had worked throughout her life towards making a difference and helping others.
She said she had seen her proud, smart, courageous and good people marginalised and forced to try and make a living on the edges of this rich nation.
