Spide, keep chewin on the popcorn, you will enjoy the ride, oh, but with the exception of your reduced private health fund subsidy.
We've been sailing through some rough waters the last 18months, but have still kicked a lot of long range goals. Most goals in a season so far. (most legislation passed whilst in Gov. and it is a minority Guv'mnet) And some real biggies too.
NBN (thats the biggy in my books - the big end of town don't like that one - Rupes and the TV mobs.)
Clear Air Legislation (the carbon tax thingy that will make the sky fall)
Paid Maternity Leave
Great Big New Taxcut thresholds
Pension increases
Three Triple A's in credit ratings
Lowest unemployment on record.
An economy other countries would kill for.
Just to name a few long range goals, some converted from inside our own half.
Been kicking them from all corners of the field, but funnily enough as soon as we converted a big goal which should of /would of brought great fanfare another bit of controversy would immediately find its way into the media headlines ... no clear air for the mainsail so to speak.
Been happening since 2010. It was a regular as clockwork, and usually would blow over in a week or two but would take the wind out of the sails . As soon as the touchies would raise their flags a new headline would appear.
Seems like someone was leaking to four of the leading canberra press gallery chooks and also had the ear of a few editors. Giving them briefings and such. Joh used to call it feeding the chooks.
Well now with 18 months out from the next election it appears as though the leaker might of been caught in slips. Smoked out - tripped up - sh!t in his own nest just once to often.
You know what I mean Spide, the leaker, for example, was in the Ear of Clubs Australia even, telling them things, then telling Wilkie other things, and telling the chooks things, and the party opposite things.
now..... apparently Channel 7 was going to expose this the night before the big news resignation ... and weregoing to name names... but someone sought an injuction to stop the show going ahead. Strange days indeed, most peculiar mumma.
Anyhow, I'm thinking that the boil will be lanced, the leaking will be finally plugged, and there are a lot more goals still to be converted. A lot of them will be easy kicks right in front.
Money in the punters pockets... visible returns ... clear view of the scoreboard. Whilst the opposition starts to come under the notice of the referee and the crowd.
Geeze we are still 12months out, 1 year from the spinnaker run.
Order the popcorn Spide..
(Poor old Elford, this must be killing him)
