Did you honestly expect anything else Bob?

Bob, a lot of people go into politics with high ideals, morals and principals. The problem is the enviroment does not foster that type of thinking.

Eventually the people that stay are hardened by the political machines that they answer to and are not game to stick their heads up for fear of getting them kicked again.

No idea what the solution is but the current one has lots of flaws. Logic is something that seems to get left behind and spending millions is something that most in politics don't even think about. It is a number and not coming out of their pockets. Put someone in power that has run a small business where they need to make every dollar count......then matbe we will stop having $3 million rail foot bridges and the like.

Time to hop off the soap box.

Gobblydock? A Queensland expression perhaps?
Politics, a subject dear to my heart. Sad realty is we get the politicians we deserve. If we didn't vote for 'em they wouldn't be there but we seem to never learn. How we have ended up in the disastrous state that we are in is beyond my ability to comprehend.
I heard a quote on radio about twenty maybe thirty years ago from a learned chap from a university in Sydney that has stuck in my brain ever since and it was this:
"A survey conducted by the university (I forget which) has shown that the psychological age of the average Australian is eleven!"
I immediately took great umbrage and was outraged at this educated imbecile's assertion.
Sad to say time has proven the survey correct!

ps. Gobbleydock is NOT Qld . . must be a Bobbitism

don't know about gobblydock but gobbledegook originated in America and supposedly came from a turkey farmer who coined the word after the noise his birds made..ie unintelligent gobbling or a lot of pompous noise and strut about nothing..turkey gobbling. It does fit politicians come to think of it - and the insults they tend to sling are often nothing short of fowl

Or who remembers the Smith's chips Gobbledock?



Does it not look a bit like Pacey sans thirsty eyebrow?
