How some people started off 2017


American actor Charlie Sheen commenced 2017 with this tweet under his belt:



Saying what half the world's leaders are probably privately hoping.

Chair of the Northern NSW Local Health District Board, Hon. Dr Brian Patrick Victor PEZZUTTI, R.F.D., M.B.B.S.(Syd.), F.F.A.R.A.C.S., F.A.N.Z.C.A. is apparently starting off 2017 by contesting a penalty notice he received:

Liberal Democrat Senator for NSW David Ean Leyonhjelm entered 2017 at war with the South Australia Government and a particular News Corp journalist apparently because of unflattering media coverage:

"If the South Australia Government was a person, it would be an obese 40-year-old man with awful body odour who lives with his mother, refuses to work, and plays Xbox all day," Senator Leyonhjelm told Parliament on Wednesday. He pauses only to demand more Cheezels and iced coffee, or to complain when the lights go out."

The Turnbull Government came into the new year with yet another broken funding promise hanging around its neck:

ANTHONY ALBANESE: Whilst the Government has been proclaiming that it has record expenditure on infrastructure of $50 billion, the actual figure out to 2019 is $34 billion, with $8 billion into the never-never…..
JULIA HOLMAN: And Marion Terrill says that the most efficient way to boost productivity through infrastructure is to invest it in the cities.
But she says that the Government is choosing to spend significant amounts of money in regional areas and isn't focusing enough on the cities where most Australians live and work.
MARION TERRILL: Well I have found evidence of the politicised decision making for sure. You know it's hard to know what is exactly their motivation but certainly there is electoral advantage to them in spending in areas that are not particularly important to the economy, and they do do that.
