In a loose interpretation of the original Sanskrit Lubosh wrote: :>Seems like you like Labour in opposition. would you say the same of the ACT :>govt opposition?

I am sorry...I miss your point about the local opposition. Then again it has been my view for years that local government in the ACT has been an exercise three-ring circus mis-management on all sides. Perhaps you interpret my endorsement of beazley as a possibkly good opposition leader as some blanket endorsement of labour in general. I guess i was just dazzled by the concept of our ellected representatives co-operating occasionally after a dozen years of watching the libs at work. As a general rule I think politicians on all sides should think more about running the country and less about scoring points. As for ACT local govt perhapos we should actually give them something to *do* so they dont mess around with stuff. I for one would like to see Carnell spend less time travelling abroad and more time trying to work out how to buy a weeks groceries with $9.75 in loose change. We can live and hope. :>Lubosh :> -- _____________________________________________________________________________ Michael Paxton +61 6 2533047 |What you cant do with a number 14 chicken, pickle@blitzen.canberra.edu.au |two stuffed hamsters and caterers jar of u913184@student.canberra.edu.au |vegemite is probably not worth doing ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^http://blitzen.canberra.edu.au/~pickle^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
