While not a Liberal supporter, I believe that an effective government needs an effective opposition and the Libs could do a lot worse than put her in the top job. She is well-spoken and made some good points. No idea on her policies apart from being a Workchoices fan, but I think she could pull the Libs into line.

Don’t forget those well worn tropes when talking about Woomera:

1. razor wire
2. hot desert location
3. concentration camp
4. people getting about like zombies
5. new found fans of all things Aussie (AFL, Foxtel platinum, Pantene hair products etc).

So the current facilities at Woomera would easily house around 33% of the Australian population in inhumanly cramped, disease ridden squallor reminiscent of the convict hulks moored on the Thames in centuries past. Perhaps we could squeeze em into just the one compound and see what happens. enough said.

It's a little difficult to feel sympathy for those whinging they will be "worse off" when you see them sitting down to lobster stuffed with beluga caviar and white truffle served on a bed of 24 carrat gold leaf every night. I've said it before and I'll say it again, this country needs a gulag. yes I think if you looked at and compared the annual income of the 22% who are better off and the 33% who are worse off the clearer picture would emerge.

And why are 33 per cent of Australians worse off under the budget? How? Whingeing fucks. Why would he bother trying to undermine Nelson, when Nelson does such a great job himself?
