Is that like the former PM was so out of touch that now under the new "Kevin 07" government shares have crashed, interest rates continue to rise, price of peterol continues to rise, etc, etc?

Out of touch like the new PM did you mean?

hehe, yup kevin07 is clearly responsible for the situation we find ourselves in, amazing how much difference you can make in..2 MONTHS!!

seriously, i dont think there is a huge difference between the 2 major parties, but there is no doubt the current situation is a result of the previous government.

1) Did the letter use voldemorts full name? if so, they can expect a call i imagine :)

2) I hope that Fill (voldemort) is able to continue to post

Come on Dont drink bath water that is not fair you have forgotten that now under Kevin's great labour party everyone in the country gets a pay rise it seems, so everyone wins! :) Such a great idea! Yeah right now everyone just wait for the price raise of everything! Nothing like Labour to mess up everything so that Liberal has to come in and fix it up as always!

Sorry I don't have enough respect for them to even spell their name right :P

On one side you have two politicians that are self confessed sporting tragics one was a former diplomat.

On the other you have a tragedy dabbling in politics and failing diplomacy.

Dont drink bath water today you have no idea at all! The current economic situation has been inherited by labour from our previous govt poor fiscal policy, besides that due to micoreconomic reform in australia we have opened ourselves up to overseas influence!

i recommend that you start reading the Australian Fin Review or buy some books on economics before you make such stupid ill informed comments! sometimes i really wonder why we have complulsory voting in this country with uneducated tools making comments like that being able to vote!

Oh and I forgot to mention the recent railway strike in SA and the threat of a nation wide airport baggage handlers strike still looming since Kev was voted in, ahhh Labor, gota love em!

Perhaps Kev needs to announce another "inquiry" into something.

Kevin 07 = win the election and worry about details later; I am sure that was what one of his minions, Midnight Peter, said before a press conferance last year.

Yup, welcome to life under Labor; Hard Labor more like it!

O My God! What have I done?
This was meant to be an analogy, not a critique of our beloved Westminster system and the politicians who fail it.

Sorry drb, I cant understand your big words, but they sound like a crock of $h!t any how.

Cheers!

Why don't you all take your political debate somewhere else? Piss off!

This was meant to be an analogy...

Fill, I kinda like the comparison with Britney Spears myself.

Phil debuted with success in 98. Britney launched her first album at around the same time and it was a hit - ...Baby, one more time.

Phil obliged and got the repeat in 99. Britney released her second album, again to rampant sales and publicity - Oops!...I Did It Again. Correct, he certainly did!

For a couple of years, the 36ers under Phil didn't win it all but did OK. During that period, Britney released an album (Britney) that wasn't quite as well received as those before it.

In 02, Phil got the flag with an underdog side. Britney, meanwhile, released an album that wasn't overly well received initially, but won a Grammy regardless. It was called In The Zone. A zone, you say? Sounds familiar!

Since then, Britney has prioritised things other than her original focus. She put out the movie Crossroads, featured in some advertising campaigns and put out branded perfume. Her brand in the music world subsequently slipped a little. She got ahead of herself with a Greatest Hits album. Then a couple featuring Remixes and little else. Same old, same old critics might have thought.

Fans were disappointed at a performance last year that she seemed to be just going through the motions.

This year, she's put out Blackout. It's getting reasonable play, but her antics have distracted from that and her reputation has dropped.

She is divorced with two kids. Oh, and shaved her head... all were wondering why at the time, but perhaps now we know!

After her most recent burst of craziness, it was reported that a "Dr" Phil visited her in hospital.

Hmmm...

Isaac, you are scary mate. I hope you did some research and didn't know all that off the top of your head?

Isaac.....Give yourself a ball.

And then quickly remove it again for knowing SO MUCH about Britney Spears.

If you'd done the yellow/red card thing, I reckon you would have been the first guy to get a ball and a red card for one post.

Original observation re similarity of career paths came from a Bo Hamburger email. Subsequent research and fleshing out via me hitting Wikipedia.

Sounds like a Voldermort-like attempt to shift blame.

Credit where credit is due! Bo's just too busy this week to look after it himself but I thought it was intriguing enough to post.

That deserves a Gold ball Isaac, but DICKO & Phizzer both have valid points.

At least Britney doesn't just stand on stage with her hands in her pockets .
She at worst will throw in a few moves in with some gorgeous lip synching .

Valdemort probably looks better in his underwear though.

DICKO, if you can imagine Voldemort in underwear, you're more of a worry than Isaac! ;)

Britney doesn't know when to call a "time-out" either.

Although, she did "substitute" her chest area at the right time just as her career took off.
