THE NEW PRIME MINISTER

Well Australia went to an early election......and guess what.....at the moment its a draw. Of course there is jockeying and promises being made left, right and centre to enlist the support of the independents so that a government can be formed. Now one of the contenders had already said you can't rely on promises made in the heat of a campaign so are the independents going to believe him. Now the independents come from National Party backgrounds and so we might expect them to support the Liberal Party, BUT....they are ex-National Party so also have bones to pick with the coalition......even to the point where the papers today report that one of the independents threatened to kill the opposition member/candidate and called the party 'slimy'.......and so it goes on.

Then it did reach soap-opera proportions when it was realised that the Governor-General's daughter is married to a Labor member! Especially as the Governor-General is the one to swear in the new government.

Well I don't know why they don't just have a penalty shoot out, like the big boys. After all we are only playing for sheep stations.

Picture of our would be Prime Minister as he appeared in the Daily Telegraph.

Below is a picture of a sign pointing to a shop Tony Abbott is rumoured to have used. I don't know. I think on his salary he could afford to buy new ones!
