Boland to program Ten? Seven whiz kid Adam Boland wants to break free from the network that nurtured him, so the story goes, to join his old Seven mate James Warburton at Ten. What hasn’t been revealed is that Warburton wants Boland to revamp the Ten schedule by taking over as head programmer from David Mott. Expect blood on the floor.
Roxon’s insulting press release. Has Nicola Roxon apologised after embarrassingly sending out a joint presser last week calling the Tasmanian premier “Lard Giddings”?
Oakshott ‘sold his soul’: the email debate. Glenn Dirix isn’t happy with his local member, Rob Oakeshott. As he wrote to the independent MP (and 2UE hot-head Alan Jones): “If you where [six] on a boat, way out at sea, and the boat sunk, everyone climb into the life raft, you looked across and saw robert oakshott in the seat across from you, you know it will be a rough, for the next few weeks in the boat, who is the first person you put over board ‘OAKSHOTT OF COURSE'” Which led to the following amusing exchange …

Independent MP means you owe nothing to your voters EXCEPT your best judgement. That is what I am doing, and if you think you can do better, I invite you to have a go and stand as a candidate.

Robert we have all used poor judgement, as a excuse, but in your case I dont believe you weighed up the ramifications, maybe you where motivated by money , from the Gillard Government (give you a little tip, Julia’s fate clock just about up) . Your comment about running as a candidate , have watched pollies spin and use weasel words for the last 30 years, and have concluded , politicians will never ever meet , a standard that is required in 2011 and beyond, what pollies think is a standard , many cititzen consider , garbage, economic’s tell me they are the problem, they are the monkey on are backs, they are liars cheats, they are self serving , and the game is the pay off , the gravy train, the staggering $92 billion dollars to run Federal System, the $10 billion to run every state government , before $1 dollar spent on the public and the state’s infrastructure, “staggering”
I would only contribute to the woe’s if I went into politic’s, 70% of collected revenue (tax payers money) go’s to prop up the government , bureaucrats, and public servants, for zero productivity,.
Tell Julia and Tony , we are on to them and we know what there about in 2011 beyond……
Egypt, Libya, have gone down the path of throwing there pollies out, I believe we could do it better….

For what it is worth, I have never taken the money from Gillard. In fact, knocking back the Ministry is in $$ terms about $500,000. Have you ever knocked that sort of money back and then been accussed of “taking the silver”?

As he said your finished in the next Federal Election, in 2011, you just don’t get it, Liberal or Labor have spun the public for thirty plus years, driven our standard of living into the ground, greater of a divide between who have real money and who don’t, made to many people victims of the system, just to get on to the gravy train.
Well its all coming to a end for both Liberal and Labor governments, state and federal, you had a chance to be a real political pioneer, as you see around the world, governments that are old regimes getting thrown out one ever week.
Liberal or Labor, Australians say they are a old regimes, and the public are looking for leadership, separate from these two kleptocracys……….
