Tas forest shock wave on federal election gathers momentum
Mood:  energetic
Topic: election Oz 2007
Liz Jackson reports on the controversial approval process for Australia’s largest ever pulp mill.

Four Corners broadcast last night 30th July 2007 badly damaged the reputation for lack of integrity of the federal ALP under the Rudd ALP, and state ALP under Tasmanian Premier Lennon.

This broadcast only adds to the shocks waves going through the progressive side of politics repudiating the cynical corrupt ALP state and federal.

Bracks grabs 'the high moral ground' from defeat over the Murray Darling River ...while he can
Mood:  lucky
Topic: election Oz 2007

Well what do you know. John Howard blows Steve Bracks (Premier of State of Victoria where we grew up) off the playing field with a constitutional gazump of the control of Murray River waters, everyone knows it including the Victorian Farmers Federation who move to dump him and negotiate with the feds directly.

The VFF presumably understand the old axiom: Money talks and bullshit walks, as Bracks indeed has, and so called best treasurer in Victoria's history John Brumby has probably been a bit worried too on the Vic share of the $10B Murray Darling package the feds have agreement from all the other states except Victoria so far.

Oh dear, Rudd f*cks the greens, but also himself .... with his own naked cynicism
Mood:  down
Topic: ecology

Picture: Jimmy Stewart ponders leaping from a bridge in the classic It's a wonderful life (1946)  as here on YouTube because crony capitalism has destroyed all hope in the hometown of Bedford, just like Gunns Ltd has for democracy in Tasmania, and may yet for the ALP under Rudd.

This writer will vote Green Party. There is no doubt. There is no way SAM's editor wants John Howard to win the election. Which you might think means I want Kevin Rudd to win. As a member of a union* you might think I support the working class too.

But as a student and participant of real coal face politics as far back as  1996 and more it becomes clear Rudd has crueled his own chances badly on Monday 23rd July 2007. How ironic when he thought he was being clever embracing the forest killers.
