Possibly. But maybe Jim could have been as principled in his personal life as in his political existence?
Rather disappointing, hey?

C'mon, Olga - he's a bloody politician, f'gudness sake! (I live next door to an excellent example of a Labor politician! )

Morals, principles, crap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Couldn't find a link on it yet, but aren't you thrilled to know your personal wealth (if you are average) has just risen by $11,000 to $375,000?

Some lucky bugger out there has just shot up to $750,000.

Hunter Valley rural farmers have been awarded a package to assist in preventing suicide among drought-stricken farmers but the same Hunter Valley rural farmers have been refused the drought relief package on the grounds that they do not qualify.

That is enormously gratifying, lezzles. (How come?)
It's a shame I'm not average, though. Missed out again! :wink:

The 'lucky bugger' I referred to was whoever got my $375,000 ('cause I certainly don't have it!)

What it really means of course is that the Jamies and the Ruperts and the Iggies and Ziggies and all the other A-list CEO's are raking it in by the bucket-load while we eke out an existence from one pay day to another

Politicians have gotten far more cynical since the heady days of Gough, Jim & Juni, Down Under Witch! I honestly believe Jim Cairns was sincere about his opposition to our involvement in Vietnam. A moral/political stance. It was his private/romantic life that I found/still find wanting. What a scramble brain! These days I find it impossible to believe almost anything that any of them say. (With the possible exception of Bob Brown! That's as close to "genuine" as I can see these days.)

Sheeesh! I've become Down Under Witch!

Yee-hah!
I never get to see these little Craven games! Halloween! Not celebrated here, but.....
