I think that scepticism on Barry OFarrell's memory comes if we don't understand the politician's mentality. For you and I, an expensive bottle of wine is certainly memorable. But politicians only think of two things, themselves and themselves in tomorrow's headlines. Anything apart from these two items is easily forgotten no matter how seemingly unforgettable to ordinary mortals.

Of course Glenny anybody born before 19** won't have to worry too much about Joe Hockey upping the pension age in 15 years time.

Re: Rotten to the core
We don't have to vote for those "major" parties - it is only because we are brainwashed into believing our vote is "wasted" if we don't.Glenny Palmer wrote: Martin....we vote for them because we get fined if we don't....& the options are all crook!
Now I'll have to have a Bex & a lie down again......
The cycle with keep repeating itself until we (the ones with the power and vote) change it.
I'm on the German beers, so I think I'll go and have a couple (then a couple more) Becks and a good lie down too
