Ooops! Kev's running late with more than his Chrissie present buying.........


At the official Prime Minister of Australia website something strange is going on.

I can find press releases for December 2008 at its media centre for the days leading up to Christmas:
24 Dec
22 Dec
21 Dec
20 Dec
19 Dec

But where is Rudder's 2008 christmas message to the peasants citizens?
All I can find is his message for 2007.
I suppose that as most of his message is the usual generic pap, and he also visited our troops in Afghnaistan in December 2007, his staff decided that they couldn't be bothered to update the sentiments with a newer entry.

Whozat??

Which NSW North Coast resident is mischievously spreading a story that the local newspaper's reporting is biased and North Coast Voices is being written by the police and **** *******; in an effort to bolster his chances of obtaining a change of venue in the criminal court proceedings which have him as defendant?
Tsk, tsk......

Rudd Government asleep at the wheel as whale war escalates once more?


With the Southern Ocean whale war manifesting itself as skirmishes and a collision in Australia's Antarctic economic exclusion zone last Friday, I have to wonder what if anything the Prime Minister, Minister for Foreign Affairs and Minister for the Environment are doing about this situation.

Are all three men too busy with their Christmas partying to notice that Japan is once again thumbing its nose at Australian law?

Japan's front for commercial whaling, the Institute of Cetacean Research, is alleging terrorist attack in its media release and the Sea Shepherd organisation is countering with a right protected by the United Nations Charter for Nature - if this sea chase goes on for much longer the chances of a real incident developing grows.

How many years is this issue going to be allowed to drag on so dangerously?

Oi, Senator Conroy! Can you hear me now........


Am I yelling loud enough, Stevo?

On Clarencegirl's advice, at the beginning of December I put this LOL up on the automated publication schedule just in case the Rudd-Conroy trial of the Great Firewall of Australia currently underway made it difficult to post on North Coast Voices.

You can read this LOL from Britain or America, but can I still read it from Australia?
