Confessions of a Misguided Trio

Cold Front Heading For Canberra...

Yeah ok... Pretty sad title for the post but what can I say, It's 0955 and I haven't had a coffee yet.

There has been so much to write about lately it has been hard to actually write. There are people dieing everyday in Lebanon and Israel, for, what I understand anyway, the sake of three (3) kidnapped soldiers. I'm not going to go into the whole debate, I will ask a question though... Why haven't these kidnapped soldiers been paraded around on television, where is the proof of life that we see every other time someone is kidnapped?

Back to Australia, Parliament resumes today and it's been an interesting winter break...

PMJH turned older, Costello found out that PMJH is not going anywhere, and presumably cried. PMJH came to the Gold Coast and made Steven Ciabo his lap dog (I've lost the photo but let's just say the former Bond Student/current Member for Moncrieff had a heck of a time keeping up with the PM on his morning walk). And let's not forget MP Jackie Kelly's shot at stardom in Torvill and Deans, Dancing on Ice (or whatever the show is called.)

It appears things have gone to the ice skaters head with her comments on Sydney Radio station yesterday denigrating the Treasurer (Costello).

'In the interview on ABC Radio on Sunday, Ms Kelly said voters in her area had often told her they did not like Mr Costello's smirk.
She said he was seen as suffering from the outdated image of Liberals being a party for rich, toffee-nosed people from Sydney's affluent north shore and a person with little understanding of issues affecting people from Sydney's west.'

Later yesterday afternoon this doozy came from her office...

Mr Costello "had been a great treasurer for 10 years".

Today she went further, conceding she had been wrong to denigrate her senior colleague.

"I'm not the most scripted politician, and I think when you do something wrong you should apologise," Mrs Kelly added.

"It's not done to bag your colleagues."

Question time today at 1400, should be interesting to see if the Labor party can actually score some browny points...
