It's not working, guys
Andrew Bolt
–, Tuesday, October, 20, 2009, (6:51am)
So may as well fight for what's right, rather than what seems safe - since it's better to lose just an election, rather than your dignity and principles, too:
SUPPORT for the Liberal Party has dropped to its lowest level since June last year. Dissatisfaction with Malcolm Turnbull has leapt back to near what it was in the aftermath of the fake email affair in August, as the Coalition remains divided on an emissions trading scheme…
Labor's primary vote was 48per cent - equal to its second-highest primary vote recorded since the election, with only the weekend after the apology to the Stolen Generations in February last year showing a higher support of 51 per cent. On a two-party-preferred basis, using preference flows at the 2007 election, Labor's support rose to 59 per cent and the Coalition's fell to 41 per cent.
Same problem in Victoria, with some of the same causes:
STATE Liberal MPs have launched a scathing attack on their leader Ted Baillieu, with one saying he is leading the party ''to the slaughter'' at next year's election.
In a fresh outbreak of disunity, MPs have told The Age that Mr Baillieu is invisible, ''highly removed'' from his party and protected by a ''praetorian guard'' of supporters.
"The considered view is there are two camps in the party at the moment,'' one MP said. "One that thinks it's stuffed and can be redeemed and another that thinks it's stuffed and irredeemable."…
The most recent Newspoll shows the Liberals trailing the Brumby Government 44 per cent to 56.
Baillieu is, like Turnbull, on the Left of the party he now leads.

Hmm.. Ian Macfarlane pisses in Wong's pocket after negotiations saying she a tough negotiator with a high IQ.. Well she seems to be bending over as is KRudd of late to dodge what they've been pushing and Turnbulls@#! bends over and takes it.
Well to paraphrase Sir Thomas More in ironically enough in A Man For All Seasons- Sir Thomas More: Why Malcolm, it profits a man nothing to give his soul for the whole world… but for an ETS?

The Liberal Party need to split - plain and simple. At least 20-30% of the Liberals are leftists who werent socialist enough to join Labour, so they joined the Libs with the intention of "reforming" it.
The only saviour for the Liberals will be a split, where the leftists like Turnbull and Red-Ted are expelled from the party.
Tue 20 Oct 09 (10:35am)
Ian Macfarlane is CERTAINLY not the sharpest knife in the drawer, and his obsequious grovelling on the 7.30 report last night about Senator Wong almost had me puking. Get some spine, man!
As for Turnbull and Baillieu - I have been a supporter and member of the Liberal Party for so long I can't remember, but I tell you that the Liberals (or Coalition) will be in the wilderness until the Party:-
(a) gets rid of these two socialists; and
(b) starts to stand up to the ALP on policy grounds, not personality grounds.
By the time the nation and Victoria are governed again by a Liberal/NP Government, we will almost be stone motherless broke! Remember the debt mountain left after Cain/Kirner? Remember the debt mountain lefts after Hawke/Keating?
Golly, we electors have VERY short memories!
Tue 20 Oct 09 (11:17am)
We need people in the party that will stand up and challenge these losers.
In VIC - who of those State Liberals that attacked TB have the balls to dethrone him then?
At Federal - why doesn't Abbott give it a go? Joe Hockey can't cos he will suffer Malcolms fate.
Tony is our last real hope. But why would anyone want the leadership after Malcolm has taken our chance to such depths of despair.
Anyone in VIC should have a go - it will be their best chance ever to lead.
Tue 20 Oct 09 (05:48pm)
Interesting point G1, I was an original AD when it was founded on centre principles. Not long thereafter every green and far-left person joined and destroyed the party completely. Don Chipp got old before his time because he created a "free" membership party then had to watch it disintegrate because the far-left took over.
The liberals are now in a similar situation whereby too many reps are closet lefties. Thinking they can get away with being popular like Rudd, Turnbull and Hunt are prime examples.
When the debt bites and the Oz electorate expect tough decisions, these people will be found wanting.
In the wake of Turnbull's support for an amended ETS, I have noticed on this blog some Lib supporters who have shown some form of anxiety because others have said (me included) they won't vote Liberal at the next election.
Turnbull has brought on the Coalition Nightmare - a split of the conservative vote.
I'll say it again, I will put Liberal last on my ballot paper if that man is still there. I hope the NATS, Family First or Climate Sceptic Party are available.
It did not dawn on me until recently that Turnbull was responsible for the new mercury filled lightbulbs.
Mercury is a highly toxic substance and the disposal of these once they have died has long term (bad) implications for our environment. It does not degrade but poisons all living biological systems, humans included.
He has to go.
Tue 20 Oct 09 (07:14am)
Tue 20 Oct 09 (07:51am)
All perfectly true.
John Pasquarelli, a former senior advisor to One Nation leader Pauline Hanson, says 'fearless journalism is required to expose the many unpleasant truths and maybe, just maybe a resurgent Nationals with a Barnaby Joyce-type at the helm could strike out on its own, embracing and claiming a large and powerful constituency...'
full story here
Barnaby is the man!
Tue 20 Oct 09 (07:53am)
Similar intention with our extended family.
For 50 years my wife and I have supported Liberals. But now we cast around to vote for someone else.
It's sad as our Member is Bruce Billson a good hardworking chap.
Why are they not attacking the ETS scheme; there are votes aplenty in combating this outrageous and poorly designed tax-magnet.
Tue 20 Oct 09 (08:12am)
The opposition isn't opposing properly so you are going to vote for Labor?
Somehow it just doesn't ring true.
It sounds more like those who claim to support the Liberal party and then ridicule "little Johnny".
Tue 20 Oct 09 (08:18am)
I'll say it again, I will put Liberal last on my ballot paper if that man is still there. I hope the NATS, Family First or Climate Sceptic Party are available.
So you are essentially voting for the ALP. Why not just put them first?
Tue 20 Oct 09 (09:00am)
You're more likely to be poisoned from eating mercury contaminated fish that any such danger from the new light bulbs.
But then the Nationals brain switch appears to be permanently "OFF".
Tue 20 Oct 09 (09:09am)
My sentiments too. I will put the Liberals last, well perhaps not last - but just ahead of Labor. And if there is no alternative I will cast an informal vote.
Malcolm, with his tactics, is in the wrong party.
Tue 20 Oct 09 (09:35am)
You're more likely to be poisoned from eating mercury contaminated fish that any such danger from the new light bulbs."
Sillyfilly that statement is so obtuse and stupid, it defies comment.
Gandalf I said what I would seek to do and gave examples, eg Family Firast or Climate Sceptics or Nats. I never mentioned Labor.
Don't understand your comment Hermit as I have always admired John Howard. I no longer admire Turnbull.
Have a look at Dennis Atkin's Article in today's Courier Mail and you'll see what I am getting at.
Tue 20 Oct 09 (09:37am)
Agree with your sentiments, Ally Pally. I'm a life-long Lib voter too, but, if Turnballs-up remains at the helm of the party, I will not be voting for Libs next time. And I'll be making sure the more impressionable, and less investigative, family members will be doing likewise (hopefully, that is, because I won't actually see what they vote!!).
Tue 20 Oct 09 (03:18pm)
They are much more useful to the broader socialist cause as opposition leaders rather than as active members of the Labor party.
Think of the amount of damage they are both doing - it doesn't look unintentional.
Rudd will go to Copenhagen and sign a treaty along with Obama which will end our sovreignty. We don't have a democracy any longer - Turnbull was put in place to NOT win the election. World Governance in the agenda behind global warming scare tactics. We don't have two parties any longer merely the facade of two parties. The media is corrupted!!!
Tue 20 Oct 09 (07:15am)
Tue 20 Oct 09 (08:05am)
Democracy = majority rules.
It doesn't = rule by disgruntled minority.
You mob LOST the election. The Australian people no longer wanted to be governed by Howard and Co.
Tue 20 Oct 09 (08:24am)
you are correct.So many of us foresaw what is coming to pass and knew Rudd would sell us out.
The media bosses have much to answer for. Journalists can only have printed what their bosses allow.
Also, those back room 'wide boys 'running Rudd from getup.org who were in the pay of George Soros and it seems he is controlling our destiny.
I suspect he is the carrier of the Nazi flame.
We are facing dangerous times and a nation of young who cannot see beyond 'reality TV' a misnomer if ever there was one.
Tue 20 Oct 09 (09:01am)
That looks like becoming a reality. It was predicted some time ago that this would happen and then the west would be racked by localised civil wars and nation states will disappear.
Tue 20 Oct 09 (09:15am)
No doubt that Turnbull is a corrupted greenie. He has probably calculated his extra tax will be more than compensated by some UN ambassadorship.
Or he might just step from the Liberals to the ALP when Rudd is promoted to his most green higness-ship.
as for the left wing papers, they all want a dictatorship, especially by the left. Unfortunately some the first put up against the wall are the so called class traitors.
Tue 20 Oct 09 (09:29am)
Yes Black Knight, problem is, when it was the other way around you never heard so much whining, accusations, lies and venom from the left/unions/Greens/dole bludgers/queue jumpers etc. This of course was all amplified by our left leaning media who seem to be doing their best for their Socialist icon (Krudd).
It was ok in opposition to to keep the government to account, but the day after the election we had your comrades calling for consevrative debate to be quashed.
What this and your comments simply confirm is that the left and its supporters are hypocrites of the highest order.
As I write this Im listening to Brumby on 3aw Mitchell program about how he bombarded parliament with 200 reports on the ONE DAY(and made sure the entire cabinet was spread around Victoria to avoid questioning). Basically this was a ploy to avoid accountability, the very essence of democracy.
Tue 20 Oct 09 (09:29am)
Clothilde I don't think it was only Rudd who sold us out - this has been in the making for many decades. The Liberals would have had the same agenda of that I am sure. Why are they standing by letting this happen unless they are complicit?
Tue 20 Oct 09 (09:36am)
SNIP....fake name, fake email address and childish abuse. Your IP address has been banned. Bolt Moderators.
Tue 20 Oct 09 (10:36am)
That One World Government talk is just loopy.
Are you seriously suggesting the U.S. would give up it's sovereignty?
What is with the Right and unsupportable conspiracy theories ?
Tue 20 Oct 09 (11:21am)
TBK: All fair observations.
Australia undoubtedly voted for an ETS and a 20% Renewable Energy Target when they turfed Howard out. Sadly, many of those same Australians were mislead by Rudd's disingenuous 2007 policy statement implying that the total present value cost to Australia of this scheme would be a rather tweety $600 million - spread out to 2050 [p 12].
Nobody voted for billions of dollars in transfer payments each year, or an unstable National power system, or a 25%+ increase in average wholesale power prices, or the export of jobs in energy intensive industries – nor for an ETS that will allow emitters to buy permits from overseas, costing Australians billions, but doing nothing to reduce global emissions.
And, other than for a few sad enthusiasts like us, very few Australians are even slightly aware how they are being dunned by Rudd and the Climate New World Order. But they will be, sometime in 2010/11 when the bill comes in; and Mr Rudd very much wants the Coalition to be there to share the applause…
Tue 20 Oct 09 (03:24pm)
ding, ding, ding.
I believe we have a winner!
If you read what is being proposed in Copenhagen it is all about global governance, not climate change.
Remember Turnbull's position on water?
I have said this on this blog before.
The Liberals need to do as the Republicans in the USA have done since the last election,that is that thay have stuck to their core values,if anything toughened up on them,and not caved into the policies of the left thinking somehow it will make them more popular.It won't.
Currently the Republicans based on current polls are tipped to make big gains at the mid term elections next year,and Obama is by no means any certainty to be re elected in three years time.
Turnbull and co need to get some backbone and stop "cuddling up" to the likes of Penny Wong and Julia Gillard.

frank, the Republicans are lucky they have Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh to champion for them. Andrew is a lone voice in Australia and he is only really in print. Our journalists (aside from Andrew) have been taken over. The stupid ones don't even realise how they have been played.
Tue 20 Oct 09 (09:59pm)
What a complacent lot Victorians would be to vote Brumby and his lot in again. Ted Baillieu has the call because Victorians have never had it so badly since 1999.
In the last election Ted did a great job in his last campaign and was congratulated by Steve Bracks even if Labor won. Repeat the same campaign across so many issues as public transport, roads, health, planning, water, and it wouldn't be too hard!
Victorians would be a pathetic lot if they whinge about all the fallacies of the Labor Government, and accept going backwards instead of a chance of progressing forward.
Why release policies ahead of November 2010 when they would be stolen. Labor haven't a clue how to run a chook raffle when put in an obvious corner, and rely on the Liberals to formulate ideas in the meantime.
Labor are lazy and digressive and have no idea of the near-future and the ultimate future.
Yesterday I received an email from Malcolm Turnbull spruiking about the Liberals negotiating an ETS with Labor. I wrote back immediately saying that I would no longer vote for the Liberals if an ETS was passed in any form. It is just not in Australia's interests, period. It is a tax to fund aid to the African countries in exchange for their support at the United Nations.
As for Ted Baillieu, he hasn't done too much wrong. He just hasn't done much - if anything at all!! Out of sight, out of mind. Brumby and his hacks deserve to be booted out but at this rate of knots they are a shoo-in. They cannot believe their luck.
Tue 20 Oct 09 (07:30am)
Tue 20 Oct 09 (09:20am)
Same happened in Queensland. The "wet" Liberals conspired to keep themselves in opposition for a very long time.
Wet just means socialists.
Tue 20 Oct 09 (09:37am)
William where is our democracy.... more than ETS is at stake, after the Copenhagen conference Australia will be Governed by the United Nations (we are at present but not officially). No dams policies is a United Nations policy not an Australian Government one. The United Nations are dictating already.
A Lib split will have little real effect on their electability, they're probably 12 years away as we speak, use the time to get it over with.
Trouble is, how do the non-Labor faction of the Libs find anyone among the agrarian socialists in the Nationals to team with.
There was another undercapitalised, nil reserves grazier who wants to socialise his loses whining on the radio this morning.
Tue 20 Oct 09 (07:51am)
Farmers want Joyce to end his radical stance on ETS:
Interesting times.
By the way, how is "the agony" going, Andrew?
Some of your readers are calling Rudd a "c_ _t". I assume your moderators knew.
Pretty mild stuff, especially since he is the PM. But not a good precedent.
Imagine what some of your readers would say about those who are less able to have themselves defended...like immigrants, asylum seekers…
Is the agony all over?
Tue 20 Oct 09 (07:54am)
Tue 20 Oct 09 (12:52pm)
Your agony will come soon AoD .. Just wait a little longer for it to begin and maybe then you will learn to open your mind a liitle instead of your current blind belief.
This is excellent news and renews my faith in the basic decency of the Australian people. Following a week in which the Coalition reverted back to the desperate tactics of 2001. A week in which we saw a renewed effort on the part of conservative politicians and commentators to demonise and vilify asylum seekers, the Coalition's vote has gone backwards. Andrew is right, "it's not working, guys".
I have a theory as to why Prime Minister Rudd and the Labor government have maintained consistently high poll results for almost 2 years and it's got nothing to do with Australians being stupid or falling for bribes. For the majority of Howard's Prime Ministership he assaulted Australians almost daily with fantasies about demons amongst us. Almost every morning he or his ministers would go on talk back radio and assail the population with the evils of asylum seekers, refugees, unionists, school teachers, university students, single mothers, the unemployed, Leftists, greenies, environmentalists, climate scientists, the Labor Party and on and on. For almost a decade the Howard government believed that the most effect electoral tactic was to create division and they sought to exploit those divisions at every opportunity. Right now the majority of Australians are just thankful to have a reprieve from the politics of hateful spin practiced by the Howard government. Whether we'll continue to tolerate the politics of deceitful spin practiced by the Rudd government is another thing.

You're nothing but a fantasist, Alan.
None of this actually happened.
Tue 20 Oct 09 (12:24pm)
I reckon you're on to something Alan. There is a miserable and venal side to the Liberal party and the voters tired of it. Keating called them 'straighteners and punishers', a good description of them at their worst.
Mr Bolt suggests that:
"Baillieu is, like Turnbull, on the Left of the party he now leads."
If, being "on the left" equates with:
a) being concerned about the environment
b) having a social conscience and empathising with those who are less fortunate
c) agreeing that all workers deserve respect and have rights
d) not starting a war and sending troops off to kill people because we want their natural resources, or, want to increase the revenues of companies in which we have equity
then, here's a news flash for my Conservative Comrades ...
"since the demise of the Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld regime, the whole world - apart from a strip of land between Lebanon and Syria - is now "on the Left".
Get used to it or be permanently angry and unhappy!
Tue 20 Oct 09 (08:16am)
Tue 20 Oct 09 (09:55am)
a) being concerned about the environment
Being concerned doesn't fix things surmising something is broken of course. Creating a new tax that's primary purpose seems to be supporting Green Cronyism to advance technologies that currently can't offer a solution should be a real concern.
b) having a social conscience and empathising with those who are less fortunate.
The left's concept of social conscience and empathising seems to be generally limited to setting up a committee that pays well to all that sit upon it
c) agreeing that all workers deserve respect and have rights
Would you define worker first? Second, what rights do you believe they don't have? Third, respect is earned however civility towards others should always be the case
d) not starting a war and sending troops off to kill people because we want their natural resources, or, want to increase the revenues of companies in which we have equity.
This is a disingenuous statement and not worthy of a response.
Tue 20 Oct 09 (10:12am)
Being Left must mean being black and white with no in between
Conservative is:
a) Being concerned about the environment CONSISTENT with real scientific data and rational processes
b)Giving everybody the chance at economic prosperity (as we witnessed from 1996-2007)- if they are willing to work for it, not imposing REGRESSIVE taxes and reward the leaches of society. It also does not mean taking the moral high ground on every issue when it reality it is all rhetoric and idealism and nobody is infact better off (case in point, pensioners)
c) agreeing that workers and employers both have RESPONSIBILITY and instilling a bit of humility, respect & WORK ETHIC..not wanting it all after 5 mins in the job and RORTING the system when things don't go their way- so in the end everybody ends up losing
d) putting the rights of victims ahead of ther criminals that bash, stab, rob, rape or kill them..not having soft policing, soft judges and soft sentencing becuase they have a so-called 'social conscience'...we can see the result of this type of philosophy in Australia as we have endured years of state Labor govts- hence the blood bath and crimewave that's infesting Australia on a daily basis.
e) reponsible economic management. MASSIVE debt for short term gain, but with long term detrimental consequences is the typical tool used by the LEFT. Conservatives just paid off $96 billion in Labor debt, now we are going to have 3 times that PLUS interest!- who pays for that? the tax payer, how? BIG taxes (ETS)...and this will help working families and the downtrodden how?
f)responsible use of public money...not misculated election promises, such as broadband roll-out and 'education revolution'- economic incompetence for all to see. In Victoria, Myki ticketing system!-wow- multi-million dollar DISASTER that!,SNIP....TOO LONG. BOLT MODERATORS.
Tue 20 Oct 09 (10:34am)
Another fantasist. Life must just be chock full of surprises.
Be patient Mr Bolt. We may have to endure the Labor party in government for quite some time.
That being the case, it isn't helping the cause of rational policy making to continually undermine Liberal leaders. That's called playing the man rather than the ball.
Tue 20 Oct 09 (08:18am)
Tue 20 Oct 09 (10:26am)
This assumes, of course, that the Liberal leader in question isn't, in fact, a handicap.
I saw the story on the Victorian opposition on the news this morning, followed by the State Government openly waiting until after an election to raise public transport costs. Not only that, it's under the pretence that it's to pay for more public transport infrastructure.
Surely, that's bad policy and the opposition should be all over that. Surely, you shouldn't be 'taxing' the people that are already using public transport to pay for more. That makes it a disincentive! If a government wants people to use public transport (which I assume they do), there should be some kind of increased cost put onto those that don't use it (too early to think of an example) to encourage them to use it. Ultimately, the two biggest discouraging factors with public transport are the cost of tickets and reliability of services. By fixing the infrastructure, they're looking at the latter, but that's pointless if you're going to up the price.
Tue 20 Oct 09 (08:32am)
Baillieu is, like Turnbull, on the Left of the party he now leads.
What the far right of the Liberal party have not yet realised, or are refusing to realise, is that the Australian electorate has moved back to the centre.
The Liberal party are not being held back by their lack of policy. They are being held beck by all the back stabbing and disunity that is being orchestrated by the far right of the party.
The NSW Liberal Party right are what has caused the NSW Liberals is be unelectable for so long and now they are try their hand at the federal Liberals.
Tue 20 Oct 09 (08:45am)
I cannot understand how the polls still favour Rudd considering the whacking he gets everyday on talkback radio, in The Australian, by News Limited journalists like Bolt, Milne, Shanahan etc etc.
No recent PM has been so consistantly vilified by the media as Rudd yet still his popularity remains high.
Seems that the influence of people like Alan Jones, Piers Akerman etc is nil.
I wonder why their employers keep them on board given they aren't listened to.
Tue 20 Oct 09 (08:54am)
Tue 20 Oct 09 (10:28am)
The column inches and air time have to be filled somehow Van Patten! Journos aren't purveyors of truths - just opinions. Opinions that we are all free to absorb or discard as we choose.
Tue 20 Oct 09 (05:20pm)
Howard copped plenty as well, just from different people. What it shows is that many in the media are as partisan as the politicians.
No recent PM has been so consistantly vilified by the media as Rudd yet still his popularity…
Please confirm VP that this is meant as a joke!
Tue 20 Oct 09 (10:20am)
Tue 20 Oct 09 (11:09am)
Just count up the commentators who are consistantly and striddently anti-Rudd :
Bolt, Akerman, Milne, Shanahan, Stutchbury, McCrann
Add to that Alan Jones and the entire 2GB team and you get a feeling for the constant attackes Rudd receives.
The letter I sent to some Liberal Senators.
Dear Senator,
As one who has always voted Liberals, I wish to express my total desperation watching the Party becoming B team of the Labor Party.
We all know that Rudd was voted in because of many reasons, including media bias and some voters thinking that it was time for a change. It were not the policies which were rejected, indeed Kevin07 was often quoted "me too" when John Howard was presenting the policies to the voters prior to the last election.
Since the election, the Liberal Party lost its direction. I even believe that Malcolm Turnbull, after losing the referendum on the Republic, hated JH and the Liberal Party so much, that he decided to destroy it from within. I know that you will reject this as nonsense, but I am not the only one who is convinced that the Liberals are doomed with the current leadership and the policies, which hardly differ from the Labor. Amongst the policies which never had the support of majority voters was the "sorry" endorsement and now the Liberal Party is joining in imposing ETS on all of us, never mind the meaningless amendments. As more and more people do not believe that there is any man made climate change, The Liberal Party is missing a great opportunity to win many voters if it totally rejects ETS. To support it is seen by many voters as opportunism to avoid double dissolution and lose seats. In other words the principle and the future of the country is not the priority. I always believed that the Liberal politicians are more honest than Labor, but now I have some doubts.
Over 31,000 scientists signed a petition saying that there is no evidence of man made GW. SNIP....TOO LONG. BOLT MODERATORS.
Tue 20 Oct 09 (10:25am)
Tue 20 Oct 09 (02:33pm)
Good Letter.
Pity it was to big to fit all of it in.
Yes, Turnbull is to the left of the Liberals. However a greater problem for the opposition is that Rudd is to the right of Labor. He has successfully positioned Labor in the middle ground and is not only protecting the core Labor vote but winning over swinging voters and some coalition voters too.
Labor being perceived to have done a good job handling the GFC will be beneficial for them too. They are shoring up their support in their first term and are positioning themselves for another term or two in office.
Tue 20 Oct 09 (11:15am)
Well if your are in opposition you need to offer an alternative.
Ted and Malcolm should be an alternative to Labor otherwise liberals may as well vote for labor.
Look at all the stuff ups and useless crap KRudd has produced. ie Ideas Convention, Sorry, fuel watch, grocerywatch etc. all that was useless and is long gone- KRudd and his history of nothing but fluff and hot air. Now lets tax everyone for no benefit.
Tue 20 Oct 09 (05:51pm)
No, Andrew it is "not working", and obviously you do not like Malcolm Turnbull along with a lot of others.
It is said that MT is pompous, a know-it-all, and a bully. All the traits of Kevin Rudd who is popular!! However, has anyone ever asked themselves about the founder of the Liberal Party, i.e. Sir Robert Menzies. He also had the same traits, even left of centre, but a conservative through and through, and ran Australia well.
It is about time that the MSM gave Turnbull a 'fair go' and instead of constantly talking about his leadership, doing their job, and concentrating on what our government is doing to this country under the leadership of Rudd.
Turnbull has achieved a lot in his lifetime, doesn't need to serve this country for financial reward, and should be (as I said) given a "fair go".
Tue 20 Oct 09 (06:29pm)
Turnbull and Bishop to Liberals - it's your fault!
They are right about something though - the public are not impressed by the internal squabbles.
Tue 20 Oct 09 (07:35pm)
Tue 20 Oct 09 (10:18pm)
One day, just for a change, do something other than oppose the opposition.
Tell us how wonderful Labor is. Chance your arm and identify a policy which is not simply designed to oppose the opposition.
I double dare you

Another day, another backdown. Friday it was Health. Today it's Education: Promoting its policy of bulk funding schools last election, National said they trust schools to spend their budget as they see fit, without needing central government bureaucrats to dictate spending for them.
That was then. Now, with Katherine Rich's announcement that they've backed down on their bulk-funding policy, they've changed their mind on that: According to Labour-lite, schools do need central government bureaucrats to dictate to them.
And this is a party that claims to stand for maximum freedom and the avoidance of unnecessary controls?

Operationalising active involvement in the EU Water Framework Directive: Why, when and how?
We identify two key stages in the river basin planning process under the Water Framework Directive: the selection of instruments for a programme of measures to achieve the environmental targets, and disproportionate cost analysis to determine whether selected measures involve high costs. Some EU member states such as Denmark are operationalising these two key stages using cost effectiveness analysis and cost–benefit analysis. However, implementation guidelines encourage the active involvement of all interested parties in the implementation of the Directive. We discuss the potential benefits of actively involving non-state actors, which can be summarised as increasing the effectiveness of policy and improving its implementation. Criticising the emerging economic decision-making approach, we argue that economic analyses could result in a missed opportunity to capitalise on the potential benefits of involvement. The article discusses the appropriateness of actively involving the public during the two aforementioned decision-making stages and suggests concrete ways in which active involvement may be operationalised. We conclude that member states should not implement a minimum form of participation to comply with the statutory requirements of the Directive, but should strive for active involvement due to the potential for increasing the effectiveness of the Water Framework Directive and improving its implementation.

"A Great and diverse Province of South Africa" Top 5 Page for this destination Province of Eastern Cape by PierreZA
Province of Eastern Cape Travel Guide: 232 reviews and 463 photos
The Eastern Cape is one of the bigger provinces of South Africa. Although it is one of the poorest, it is rich in diversity and what it has on offer for the traveller. This includes history, fauna, flora, adventure etc. This is the province where Mr Nelson Mandela was born.
For practical reasons it might be easier to divide the province into areas , it is not an official demarcation. I use Port Elizabeth (PE) as a departure point, as it is served by a good airport and has good infrastructure.
I will constantly update this page, as I do visit the Eastern Cape quite often.
Area 1 Port Elizabeth, along the N2, towards Cape Town (Bloukrans)
Area 2 Port Elizabeth, along the N2, towards Port Edward
Area 3 Port Elizabeth to Graaf Reinet, the south-eastern interior
Area 4 Port Elizabeth towards Gariep and the north-eastern interior
Area 1 (PE along the N2, direction Cape Town)
This part of the Eastern Cape can be considered as the gateway to the Garden Route. It is a beautiful part of the province, especially the part from Stormsriver onwards.
Along the way is the popular coastal town, Jeffrey?s Bay and also the great Tsitsikamma National Park.
The Eastern Cape borders with the Western Cape at Bloukrantz, the bridge from where you can do the highest bungy jump in the world.
Area 2 (PE along the N2 towards Port Edward)
This takes you through the previous Ciskei and Transkei. Beautiful towns like Grahamstown, coastal towns like Kenton-on-Sea and Port Alfred.
The Wild Coast is also very well-known, especially for its natural beauty.
Area 3 (The South-Eastern interior)
In this quite large area, the area called the Langkloof and Baviaanskloof could be highlights. Graaf Reinet is another small town of note in this area.
Area 4 (The North-Eastern interior)
This area is also quite big, and diverse. Although I have not travelled extensively in this area, Hogsback is a place well worth visiting. The road takes you north towards Colesberg and the Gariep Dam, were it borders with the Free State.
Some suggestions
I have included a few ?trips? which can be quite pleasant to do.
I will also continue to update the page, as I visit the Eastern Cape quite regularly.

So I have no idea what is going on here. My footer is wrapped in random "strong" divs but it's not in my footer.php file.
Any help?
The footer also seems to be underneath the header now?
Any help would be great
as it seems, you have at least some unclosed strong tags in the textwidget - check the exact syntax:
That's definitely it. Thanks!
However, my footer is still appearing in my dev tools as in the middle of the page. Any ideas on why this is?
The ul/nav that's in that div are in the right place, but the footer div is really off. It's making it all caddywompus!
Thanks for the help
I've got the footer at the bottom of the content with

Not sure how to fix!
Looks like I fixed it?
For some reason, my wrapper had

The site is broken again. I had some unclosed line breaks (br) and now that I've closed them it's broken. No background image is showing up. Ideas?
Ok, well I added that back. Now I'm just curious. What is:

Recent Tent/Shelter Reviews
NEMO Losi 3P
A great lightweight, roomy, dry and stable tent. For me, this tent hits all the best points and is aesthetically a great tent to hunker down in every night on the trail. Love it! The inauguration of this tent was 12 days in Iceland and it pretty much dealt fantastically with all kinds of nasty weather; rain, sleet, wind. It was a breeze to set up, but most importantly was roomy and dry for two people. I've owned a variety of tents over the years and this is my favorite so far. A perfect balance… Full review
Exped Gemini 2
Basically, two thumbs up! My wife and I have used this tent for the last three years and like it a lot. It has a very sturdy structure, really taut and stable. We like how, if you unzip the inner tent door completely, it hangs from its apex (top) so there is no way it can fall to the ground...keeps the zippers out of harm's way! The only thing we don't like is this: the end vents can't be closed. So, and here is the paradox, if it is windy and you want to use the end guy lines then pass through… Full review

i bought this over 10 years ago and it's still standing and repelling water ez..needs one little repair for an ember burn and hole where there is tension from one of the plastic hooks..would buy their new version in a heartbeat, but don't need a new one yet! I set it up on my own..nice footprint (I bought an extra) sheds wind and water easy..hot nights you can sleep w/o the fly...or if precipitation is questionable you can fold up the entire bottom 2 feet of the fly to allow air circulation. Quality… Full review
Ozark Trail 16' x 16' Instant Cabin Tent
My husband and I highly recommend the Ozark Trail 16x16 Instant Cabin Tent. We put it up for the entire summer at one campsite. We bought the 3 room/12 person tent with the awning in front. We set it up along the Zumbro River in Millville, MN on May 30, 2016. Today is August 26. We plan to leave it there thru September. We noticed a little tear on the rain fly, so last night we took the rain fly off and Scotchgarded it. This tent has been thru many, many heavy rains and winds. We have spent… Full review

Lightweight, excellent product for tarp storage and deployment.

They're accessible via a web portal coop along with companies like Luke's Ultralite, ZPacks, Molly Mac, and several other popular cottage manufacturers. The address is www.outdoortrailgear.com and the site is definitely worth a look if… Full review
Northwest Territory Sierra Dome Backpack Tent 9' x 7'
I use it for travel camping with two or three night stays per camp. The first trip included some rain with much water intrusion. After seam sealing everything at home, all went well until the first rain this year—about 8 to 10 oz. of water from all sides. Not pleasant!! Also the "fly" arch support broke at the center junction and I would like a replacement, but where? I use it in spite of difficulties. Full review
Sierra Designs Night Watch CD
Nice little snuggle tent for two. Very durable and stable. Ahhh....the "Snuggle tent"! I picked this up a while back and it was few years old with light use. This tent has been great. It's compact and backpacks well, even though it's a little heavier than today's lightweight backpackers. It is very durable and stable and I have put it through its paces over the years. It is time for a reapplication of waterproofing of the fly as it is a little seepy under rain, but after countless uses and a few… Full review

Four-person version...nice sturdy dome tent with great vestibule fly that won't break the bank. My wife and I needed to replace a worn out, inexpensive 3-person tent in our "fleet" that we use for casual camping. Backpacking was not a concern since we have a Sierra Designs 2P backpacker, so we were willing to pick up a heavier option and upsize just a bit to a 4-person for the extra space. A 3-season tent was a must and a vestibule as well. Cost was of some concern since tents in this category can… Full review
MSR Carbon Reflex 2
Tent body super light, packable, and easy to set up. Fly sticks to itself like Saran Wrap, hook/Velcro closure awkward reaching the lowest one from inside tent. Worried about leaks. Poor MSR customer service regarding fly stickiness issue. Bought the updated 2016 version in May, set it up inside. Was challenging because it is not freestanding. Fly was stuck to itself so badly, when I would get a section unpeeled and work on a different section, the other section would re-stick like Saran Wrap. … Full review
Top-Rated Tents and Shelters
Sort by: name | rating | price | availability | recently reviewed
What's the "best" tent or shelter for you? Consider your personal outdoor needs, preferences, and budget:
- Conditions:
First, and most important, in what seasons, conditions, and terrain will you use your tent, tarp, or hammock? Choose a shelter that can handle the conditions you expect to encounter (rain, snow, wind, heat, humidity, biting insects, an energetic scout troop), but don't buy more tent than you truly need, and don't expect one tent to do it all.
- Capacity:
Tents are typically classified by sleeping capacity (i.e. one-person, two-person, etc). However, a tent's stated sleeping capacity usually does not include much (or any) space for your gear and there's no sizing standard between tent manufacturers. Some users size up.
- Livability:
Will you use the tent as a basecamp or is it an emergency shelter only? To determine if you and your gear will fit, look at the shelter's dimensions, including floor and vestibule square areas, height and headroom (including at the sides), plus the number and placement of doors, gear lofts, and pockets, to assess personal livability, comfort, and footprint.
- Weight and Packed Size:
If you'll be backpacking, climbing, cycling, or otherwise carrying that shelter, consider its weight, packed size (and your pack it needs to fit in), and its space-to-weight ratio before automatically opting for the bigger tent. Paddlers and car campers have more room to work with, but everyone should consider how the tent and its parts pack up for stowage.
- Design:
Tents come in various designs. Freestanding tents can stand alone without stakes or guy lines and can be easily moved or have dirt and other debris shaken out without being disassembled, though they still need to be staked out. Rounded, geodesic domes are stable and able to withstand heavy snow loads and wind. Tunnel tents are narrow and rectangular, and large family cabin tents are best for warm-weather campground outings.
- Other features and specs to consider include single versus double-wall, ease of setup, stability, weather resistance, ventilation, , and any noteworthy features.
- Read more in our guide to tents.

At a school board meeting Tuesday the Leon County School Board mentioned their concern about a proposed biomass plant near schools. However, the school board says it will not take an official position
on it.
Officials want to leave the decision making up to the City of Tallahassee and they trust the city will do what's right. One school board member, Maggie Lewis Butler, says she will be speaking out against the plant on behalf of children and education.
Maggie Lewis-Butler, a Leon County School Board member said, "I think the focus on our children is definitely important because it's the health, the safety, and well-being of our children."
On January 28th, there will be public hearing on the proposed Biomass Plant at the Tallahassee City Chambers.

The latest addition to our Reviews Section is a piece by Will Vanderhyden on Severo Sarduy's Firefly, which is translated from the Spanish by Mark Fried, and published by Archipelago Books.
Will Vanderhyden (aka "Willsconsin," which separates him from "Bromance Will" and "Will Cleveland" and all the other Wills that roll through the ROC) is one of the current MA students in the translation program here at the university. (Speaking of, if you're interested in the program—which is incredible, and has an extremely high rate of publication success—you should apply now. In addition to learning about the art and craft of translation and having a great group of people to learn with and from, you get to work with me here at Open Letter . . . In our new, super-cool offices!1) He specializes in Latin American literature, and is currently translating a few things that Open Letter will be bringing out . . . More on that in another post.
For now, here's the opening to his review of Sarduy's Firefly:
To read Severo Sarduy, in the words of Rolland Barthes, is to be "gorged with language," immersed in "the teeming flux of every kind of linguistic pleasure." Firefly, the first novel from the Cuban born Médicis Prize winner to be translated into English in over a decade, is a funny and sad coming-of-age story. In keeping with Barthes' description, Sarduy's prose—skillfully rendered in Mark Fried's translation—is virtuosic delight. The syntax is playful, overflowing with expressive modifiers and colorful descriptions that masterfully evoke the swarming excess of the tropics, and the libidinal chaos of adolescence.
Firefly is set in a fictional city—Upsalón U—where the whole history of pre-Castro Cuba comes together in a asynchronous jumble of symbols and cultural markers: hurricanes, slave markets, seamy brothels, mystical cults, radios, jukeboxes and baseball caps (even a big screen TV) coexist in the fluid disorder of a dream or hallucination.
The novel's protagonist, Firefly, is an aimless, adolescent boy, "a spidery map of bones" with an "oversized head" and a penchant for misadventure. In the opening chapter, as a hurricane rages outside, Firefly, frightened by the storm, is mocked and ridiculed by his family. Humiliated and angry at always being the butt of the joke, he takes his revenge by serving them cups of linden flower tea spiked with rat poison. "So that no one will know I'm afraid."
In the hospital, surrounded by his comatose family, Firefly pretends to be dead to avoid being blamed for their state. His scam is quickly uncovered by "two retired luminaries of the island's medical community"—Isidro (an "obese . . . pile of blubber"), and Gator ("olive-skinned, long and bony, all obtuse angles and kinks"). This contrasting pair of quack doctors reappears at random moments throughout the rest of the story, coming to represent the island's corruption and to embody Firefly's paranoia and exile from the world of his childhood.
Firefly manages to escape from hospital and he is taken in by Munificence, a "towering" woman who runs a charity school. She provides him with a place to sleep and a job as an errand boy. From that point on, Firefly passes through a sometimes-funny sometimes-surreal series of experiences: he falls in love with the redheaded nymphet, Ada; he discovers the pleasures of alcohol; witnesses acts of corruption and cruelty; catches a case of Lethargy cubensis—a hilarious made up illness, cleverly poking fun at lazy, alcoholic Cubans; runs away; and visits strange brothels and nightmarish sex shows. Sarduy's pacing is masterful, building a spiraling, downward momentum that has the feel of a week of binge drinking or a bad acid trip. That results is a sort of beautiful mayhem, where nothing makes sense and everything is false, what Firefly describes as "a frayed tapestry with no apparent pattern, seen in a dream."

The Guilty One (Paperback)
Usually Ships in 1-5 Days
An eight-year-old boy is found dead in a playground . . . and his eleven-year-old neighbor is accused of the crime. Leading the defense is London solicitor Daniel Hunter, a champion of lost causes.
A damaged boy from a troubled home, Daniel's young client, Sebastian, reminds Daniel of his own turbulent childhood and of Minnie, the devoted woman whose love saved him. But one terrible act of betrayal irrevocably shattered their bond.
As past and present collide, Daniel is faced with disturbing questions. Will his sympathy for Sebastian and his own memories blind him to the truth? What happened in the park and who, ultimately, is to blame for a little boy's death? Rethinking everything he's ever believed, Daniel begins to understand what it means to be wrong . . . and to be the guilty one.

Masters Degrees in Food Science study the principles behind human nutrition and food production. These programs will give you the opportunity to explore the challenges involved in commercial food manufacture, understand the science behind different diets and consider the ways specific food groups can meet the needs of people in diverse circumstances.
Courses can be taught or research-based, awarding MSc, MRes or MPhil degrees as appropriate. Entry requirements will vary, but you'll normally be expected to have an undergraduate Science degree.
Postgraduate training in Food Science has lots of obvious (and not so obvious) professional applications. Food production is a big business, with large companies developing new processing methods, or techniques for creating more natural products.
Careers are also available in related fields such as agriculture (no pun intended) as businesses and governments seek to find ways of feeding growing and changing populations. Or, with the right Food Science Masters, you could even find work in glamorous and exciting professions such as winemaking or craft beer production (an excellent way to leverage some of the extra-curricular experience you may have developed as a student).
A specialist Food Science degree (such as a Masters in Nutrition) has its own professional applications. You could work with a health service as a dietician (subject to accreditation) or cross over into fields such as sports science, helping athletes improve their performance and avoid injury.
Approximately 62% of people with a Masters in Food Science are known to be in full-time employment six months after graduation, whilst 15% are in further study. The remainder are involved in part-time employment, voluntary activities or other pursuits.
Popular careers with a Masters in Food Science include:

Disability system is broken
- From: The Courier-Mail
- June 21, 2012
THE hopes of Queenslanders with a disability and their families have been dashed by the oft-repeated statement of this Government: "We can't afford it."
While agreeing in principle to the National Disability Insurance Scheme, the Queensland Government has steadily refused to participate in it, saying it is the Federal Government's responsibility to fully fund it. All other Australian states have agreed to contribute the required 22 per cent to start the rollout of support to people with a disability, with the Federal Government funding the rest.
In late-2011, PricewaterhouseCoopers reported that, without the NDIS, the current national disability expenditure of $7 billion a year would blow out to $45 billion annually by 2035. It would therefore seem evident that the cost of disability for Queensland will continue to grow and grow unless we put in place some "insurance" for the future. Can we afford not to be part of the NDIS?
Currently only about 20 per cent of people with a disability receive State Government-funded support, which means a large majority of the remaining 80 per cent are struggling daily to survive. Without the support of their families and friends, many would find themselves inappropriately placed in aged-care facilities or, worse, homeless.
It is inconceivable to the Community Safeguards Coalition, which represents a large constituency of people with disabilities and their families throughout Queensland, that the Queensland Government has decided not to participate in the NDIS - the greatest reform Australia has undertaken for people with disabilities and their families.
The NDIS is an entirely different model of support for people with a disability. It is an insurance model - it means that if you are born with a disability or you acquire a disability, then support is assured.
This is not the current situation in Queensland, where you may be eligible but that doesn't mean you will automatically get government assistance. If Queensland does not agree to be part of the NDIS, the situation will remain as it is now, where getting support is like winning the lotto.
Queenslanders with disabilities and their families are tired - they have waited for a very long time for this reform which offers long-term support and security.
They had and still have high expectations the new Government will show leadership to take up the challenge of disability reform.
What is the Newman Government's alternative vision for people with disabilities and their families in Queensland? With an average per capita spend on supporting people with disabilities less than the national average, it is widely acknowledged the system is badly broken and in need of immediate remedial intervention.
We call on the Queensland Government to provide access to the same funding and opportunities available to people with disabilities in other states.
This is not a political or economic issue, it is a citizenship issue for all people with a disability to have their full citizenship rights realised. It is time people with disabilities were heard and their rights not just acknowledged, but implemented. It is time for action and commitment to change.
- Carol Holt is the chairperson of the Community Safeguards Coalition.

Praying that god will bless us again.
I was just going to ask this question! I'm getting a polyp (they only saw 1, but that doesn't mean there couldn't be more) removed on the 18th.
I have nothing to add, but I will be watching this post.
I have hypothyroidism as well and just had 3 polyps the size of golf balls removed at the end of January... My doctor told me to wait for one full normal period b4 trying to get pregnant. My last period was March 19th and we ended up getting pregnant right after that. I miscarried at 9wks. Idk if maybe my uterine wall was just still too thin or what. They also did a D&C with the surgery to remove the polyps... We are not "actively" trying to get pregnant by charting again but we aren't "preventing" either. Good luck to you and if you find out anything from a doctor please let me know as we live in the Netherlands (military) and I had to fly back home to have my surgery bc health care over here SUCKS!

Hi, I hope this helps. I had a polyp removed November 09. We have been TTC our 2nd child since then with no success. Last month I went to my O.B. and she found another polyp in my uterus. She said I probably need to have it removed because it could be the cause of why I'm not pregnant. But the risk involved is that cutting of my uterus to many times can cause scar tissue & risks of the egg not implanting.
I think I'm going to have the surgery done next month.
I just had a hysteroscopy and D&C done 2 days ago. I, also, have hypothyroidism. It was found during my blood work from my first gyno visit. My husband and I had been ttc for 7 months with no luck. I go for my post-op on thursday and the Dr said we would go from there. I hope she has a good game plan. I am anxious to become a mommy and I dont know how these two recent discoveries will effect how soon that can happen.
I will continue to follow this thread. Id love to hear your progress!
well I just realized the year that this was written.....lol. How long did ut take you ladies to concieve?

Well I went to the website: http://www.freewebs.com/cash2/
It sounded all good so I ordered the software.
As soon as I got it I did some research on the internet to see how otheres in this business do. And BAM it hit me hard cause the first thing I saw was FEDEX UPS REFUND RECOVEY SCAM!!!
I got in contact with the seller and requested my money back.
This was the response I got:
1. It is no scam sorry fedex does be late it says on my website you have the software sop now it is yours.
2.Also on my website it tells you this is not afillated with either Fedex/Ups but you would be an indepandany contractor now this is there go back and read it now you own the software anybody can put what they want on the web even say things are a scam when they arent!
I have paid for the software via paypal and reported this lady to paypal cause she violates paypals user agreement. I also reported her to the FTC.
I hope I will get my money back, and she will be out of business soon.

In this case I suspect the seller has neither of it.
It is rediculous how those scammers can get away with what they are doing. If anyone of you guys have any advice on what else I can do to get my money back, please let me know. Thank you.
