Nick, that is a good question, (he says, trying to get back on track.)

Must not make a joke about the team Nick supports. :p
It was brutal, but had to be done. I think he should have had more of a chance, but seemed not to have been listening to advice. I wouldn't be surprised if he bounced back from this in the long run.

Exactly. Rudd's popularity was on the slide.
And another reason it had to be done: the prospect of an Abbott Government is just too scary to contemplate.

It would be interesting to see what will happen after an election, especially if Liberals/Nationals lose. Does Costello run? Or someone else?

Also this thread is rather disappointing.

A Current Affair and Today Tonight are blights on society

Besides, if you are that concerned, take some responsibility and go to a farmer's market instead of Coles or Woolies. Buy direct from local Australian growers. Or best of all, grow your own stuff. You may pay more money but you will be securing Australia's future, cutting down on pollution and other environmental benefits.

Wise advice.

I buy many of my vegetables at Hobart's Salamanca Market. The best vegie stalls there are those owned by the Hmong market gardeners. The prices are comparable to Coles and Woolies and a better quality.

I also try to grow my own stuff. This year my crop was abyssmal probably due to odd weather. The previous two years were good.

Yeah, we have markets once a fortnight here, where the farmers bring their produce for direct sale to the public, and it's not only superior quality, but a damned sight cheaper.
 
Re: growing one's own food. Do it if you enjoy it, it certainly doesn't hurt and is more productive than most hobbies, but it's no panacea for the world's food problems. Like it or not, widespread industrialised farming is the only way we're going to get through the next century.

I have been sitting here trying to think of the last time I watched A Current Affair or Today Tonight. I think it has been many a year.

A Current Affair once did a segment of a former neighbour of mine. He had been convicted of murder many years before and had been sentenced to life. However after serving about 15 years he was on day release working. A Current Affair made a big deal about this guy earning $400 a week while the taxpayer was keeping him.

What A Current Affair failed to say was that the prison was taking $100 a week from him for board and lodgings and the other $300 was going to his wife who was raising her two grandchildren after their mother's death.

Because of the community anger that arose following this A Current Affair segment the guy's day release was revoked and his wife had to go onto the pension to support the children.

Do you keep chickens? I'm lucky enough to have a backyard now and as soon as I can afford to I'm going to buy two or three .. yummy free range eggs every day and manure to boot.
 
I plan to keep a couple of chicken eventually. With three cats I will need a decent chicken coup.

When I was growing up we usually kept 6 chickens at a time in the backyard.

My grandfather had a couple of hundred free range chickens on his property but all of them perished in the 1967 Tasmanian Bushfires. I used to love going with my grandfather to collect eggs which he sold to locals.

OH NOES, DID WE LOSE A GAME?

OF COURSE NOT, COLLINGWOOD NEVER LOSES!!! EDDIE AND HIS MATE BRUMBY THE PREMIER OF VICTORIA


Good old Collingwood forever,
we know how to play the game
Side by side we stick together,
to uphold The Magpies name.
Hear the barrackers a shouting,
as all barrackers should,
Oh, the premiership's a cakewalk
For the good old Collingwood.
 
Miss Chicken's son is a Magpie supporter.

Miss Chicken herself is a Richmond supporter (waits for everyone to start laughing).
 
I've always had a soft spot for Richmond. Sympathy, you could say. But you're not doing too badly this year, your kids are showing a bit of backbone. Won some good games too. How about little Jacky Reiwoldt eh?

(mind you will be taught your place when you come up against us later this year)

I am very glad to hear you do not support the piss and poo brigade. Hawthorn and their supporters are the scum of the earth, I have never met one that wasn't a jellyfish.
 
I don't really follow AFL, as I'm a NRL man. There is no team more important to me than Parramatta Eels (the GWS will fail). But over recent years, had soft spots for Hawthorn, West Coast and Essendon. But don't follow any of them week to week, like I do with my Eels.

Last year, when I was in Melbourne went to a game with my brother in law (who supports Geelong). It was okay, but a rather upsided game. Have zero interest in watching the Swans, so if ever go to another game, hopefully it shall be more interesting than Brisbane - Western Bulldogs. The season will be over when I head down there in October for a weekend.
 
At the moment Geelong is raping everyone so it's no surprise that the game was one sided.

I follow the NRL too but not to the same extent as the mighty Pies. Melbourne supporter, of course, my membership was cemented when their creative accounting was exposed. The Storm are badass.

GWS will succeed, the fact is there are a lot of people in Sydney who don't follow the NRL and they are the people who will be converted to the world's greatest game. They only need 30,000 or 40,000 members out of a population of five million....
