We know the Coalition here are no better, but I tend to hope for more from Labor. Perhaps Julia will be the one to bring that about... it would be nice, but we're heading in a similar direction to the UK right now where people are generally jack of politicians.Mint Custardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06125146572644378616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2897122004607051950.post-81509713496710394422010-06-24T21:52:39.023+10:002010-06-24T21:52:39.023+10:00I'm quite moved and trembly about Julia - easi...I'm quite moved and trembly about Julia - easier because I'm not there and I haven't had to listen to all the droning details - but I predicted this to my mother about a month ago, and I always thought she was one to watch (Julia, not my mother). She may be gone in a couple of months, but it has happened, it really has.Raninoreply@blogger.com
