992 REMAIN
Another five summiteers have dropped out.
999 bottles of beer on the wall
999 bottle of beer
if one of those bottles should happen to fall (into my lap)
998 bottles of beer on the wallLosing 1 former High Court judge can be said to be careless, but losing 2 is downright negligence. They read the “guide” to where the summit on federalism was going, and went WTF. Bad news for Rudd.
Have these infamous people given one seconds’ thought to the anguish they have caused?
Do they have any idea how long Therese has to spend outside a locked bathroom door trying to convince a sobbing Kevni that their granny/cat/ficus plant really did give birth/die/emigrate?
The tear stained pillows?
The humiliation, once again, of not being able to wear big boy’s pants to bed?
Don’t they realise they could’ve been bestest friends with the bestest boy in the world?#1
Now that’s funny, egg!And I’m NOT egging you on.
Reckon some of these summiteers* will have egg on their faces after this lot.
Oh wait, they’ve already been brainwashed, and somehow think they’ll have some say in what the government does…
Haw, that’s rich!
*The few that are left (er, hey, aren’t they all left?).
$4 Peter - funny - before I opened the comments section I thought of the Ten Green Bottles Hanging on the Wall song.
I wonder if having to pay their own way has anything to do with people dropping out? That is if the participants have to pay their own way. Does anyone know and is the taxpayer feeding this lot?
Oh well, never mind the drop outs, we now have Krudd.. What is it? Oh yes, “No child will be living without childcare by 2020” ... or something like that. Now why does that have a familiar ring? Hawkie, where are you mate? Did you get an invite?
This thing is all so predictable. Some things and people never change.

Perhaps she could just tell Kevin that James Packer was playing with a ball on the roof…

“Second, I’ll also ask them to submit at least three concrete policy ideas, at least one of which must involve no cost, or negligible cost - and that’s always the hard one.
“And third, I’ll be asking them to identify at least three specific goals for which we as a nation should aim by 2020.”Rudd is treating the summiteers like school kids. Even university students have more scope when handed an assignment.
“And third, I’ll be asking them to identify at least three specific goals for which we as a nation should aim by 2020.”
To be rid of Labor, Rudd and 2020 wankfests.
That’s my no cost, set in concrete vision for the nation.

Posted by Captain Sensible on 2008 04 17 at 05:40 AM • permalinkGiven all this homework that Rudd is setting them, why do they even need to turn up? Why not just ask everyone to list their one big idea, three policy ideas, and three goals, and put it all into a book? It’s not like he’s expecting these things to evolve out of the proceedings. Everyone is expected to formulate their contribution in advance, thus neutering any meaningful discussion or cut-and-thrust of ideas.
Posted by daddy dave on 2008 04 17 at 06:57 AM • permalinkOn commercial radio, Rudd says only ideas he is not really serious. We have to keep up thinking ideas. Not get too concerned about how things work out.

Rudd’s star Maxine Mckew was finally allowed out today. After five months of reading thick reports, she was surprised, as a childless former ABC staffer, to find that most people work 48 weeks while school children attend school for 40 weeks.“We have a work year that is pretty much 48 weeks or whatever, and we have a school year that’s about … two-thirds of that,” McKew told Sky News today.
“It’s crazy. If we are going to think big, we need to think about some sort of sensible realignment of the work year with school year or vice versa.”Looking forward to the reaction from teachers and industry on extending the school year towards 48 weeks and/or extending paid annual leave to 12 weeks. Don’t think we will see Maxie for a while again
#20 She did not read the Epstein/Secord script did she?
Posted by stackja1945 on 2008 04 17 at 08:23 AM • permalink#21 There is something strangely vacuous about McKew. Away from the studio, the prepared questions, the noddies, there isn’t much substance. Like Rudd.
McKew, and the other ABC dolly birds, amuse me. They are given the tag “thinking man’s crumpet” to disguise the fact the ABC TV is just as guilty of employing people on their looks as any of the commercial TV stations. One can’t imagine Michelle Gratton hosting 7.30 Report, or Catherine “Squatter” Deveny.
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think it is a bad thing. But the ABC is supposed to be so PC.
Earlier this week, a work colleague “completed” a major task (a day over deadline), and flexed off for a week or so.
Since then, I have worked every day (into the evening, twice), and two others have contributed several hours each to correcting her ludicrous errors, finding and fixing omissions, deleting useless information, rewriting mystifying comments (and don’t get me started on her obsessive doc reformatting), all to get “her” final product up to a presentable standard.
Our (now) absent colleague is one of the “bright and bestest”. Or is that… bah, who cares? Strangely, she claims she doesn’t know how she got “elected”. E-L-E-C-T-E-D, she was. Somehow…
#22 Contrail. You may have seen Maxie being asked on TV yesterday what she thought of the Krudd’s child care idea.
In her smartest ABC accent, she replied ‘I think it’s a bewdy’.
Then she went a sharp shade of pink as she considered how wanky that sounded.
Too late, that was the end of the interview. Priceless. More please.
