Crikey,

A first blog...blog.

Keventy O'seventy's travels and travails are obviously very important for Australia; otherwise he wouldn't do it, er, them.
After his rivetting address to an almost empty UN GA, I'm sure that President Obama will be spellbound by Kevin's diplomatic skills and global grasp of all things terrestially important to Australia's bifurcated approach options and their subsequent congruence to the aims and ambitions of our greatest ally.
Notwithstanding any unexpected deficiency in predicted outcomes vis a vis actual outcomes I am sure that our PM will exit the Oval Office with a smile on his face and a cigarette in hand.

Kevvy 747 24/7 will think he has transcended on a cloud to the Pearly Gates of Heaven, methinks perhaps Obama will think alas this chap makes me feel like I'm standing at the gates of hell, & me thought that poor old " Bush " was a warmonger, this blathering little chap could have taught him a thing or two,


& Barnaby you forgot the war on inflation, the war on war, the war on Neo-Liberalism, the war on CEO renumeration, the war on.............

Mr Rudd hates business people getting high wages. How does he feel about his wife amassing a 140 million dollar fortune in a few short years.
Mr Rudd wants to destroy an Australian icon company (Telstra) and give the control of Australia's vital tele-communication network to a foreign company.
Worse still he wants the Australian taxpayer to provide the $4.7 billion to do it.
Mr Rudd has taken a healthy surplus to a $60 billion deficit in months, and without the possibility of creating one Australian job he has sent us broke.
Worse still I voted for Mr Rudd at the last election because he told me he was a financial conservative. Roll on the next election.

Dear Senator Joyce, a short time ago I had the pleasure of a conversation with you concerning the threat to Australia's Telstra and my concern that we were seeing the prospect of our proposed National Broadband Network falling under the control of foreign investors.

The direction that our country is now taking is serious and, I believe, will have unpleasant consequences for future Australians. We see that the Australian manufacturing industry has been sacrificed and requirements are now imported, mainly from China.

I do understand that imports get products cheaply to Australians and help to keep our inflation rate down but what will happen when our capacity to manufacture is non-existant and our suppliers, realiizing this, proceed to raise their prices and hold us, a captive market, hostage to their products.

Also, the sale of our mineral mines to foreigners is of great concern. Without being alarmist this could lead to a situation where Australians simply supply labour for the foreign owned companies and we find themselves without influence in their own country.

I expect the fact that we have a Prime Minister who speaks fluent mandarin will be of advantage to us as he will be able to transfer the orders from our foreign masters to their Australian slaves. Concerning the National Broadband Network, this also could be lost to the Australian people.

Senator my appeal to you is to ask you to consider the above mentioned concerns, knowing that you are in a position of authority which enables you to have vital influence on the direction Australia is going and to, should you consider it necessary, alter that course. Faithfully,as always. Sydney Lawrence

Well all I can say is I told you so...anyoine who voted for Rudd hang your head in shame..the wizard of spin (obviously trained by Bob Carr) is proving everything I suspected, basically totally inept!! Please someone save our nation from this man who is trying to sell it to any bidder out there.

Senator, do you agree that having Senator Kate Lundy on the Senate Select Committee concerning the NBN while the person being questioned by her on his interest to obtain the Government tender was her husband is a conflict of interest?

Senator, completely agree with you concerning the cash handout by the Rudd Government. I voted for Mr Rudd because he assured all that he was a financial conservative, now he shows his true colours.

If his actions were to create jobs I would agree and support him but the sad fact is the billions of dollars given out will be wasted with no employment boost. Even if people do spend on goods everything is made in China now, how will that help Australians out of work.

I do know it is difficult for you to take a stance that the Government will castigate you for but those Australians that can see the true facts will admire you for it. Unless Mr Rudd listens Australia will end up broke, with terrible unemployment and a debt from which we will never recover.

Senator, within the next few weeks it is almost certain that Australians will see the gifting of $4.7 billion of taxpayer money to interests (foreign owned) to gain the ownership of a vital Australian infrustructure.

This in itself is serious, but it is unbelievable that the Rudd Government is considering leglisation that will ban competition and exclude any company who whishes to compete in the broadband market.

I am sure you would be cognisant of these facts and understand that if this proposed ban on competition was enacted Australians would be trapped wjth present technology for the next twenty years.

I am a surporter of all things Australian and along with 1,600,000 other Australians am a Telstra shareholder and I am shocked that an Australian Government could consider the damage and possible distruction of Telstra.
