rain
Wheelin.....
I forgot to mention
There are ticks , some paralytic
There are spiders that seem to want to sleep with you
There are snakes of both black, brown and other colours
There's a lot of cow manure and the cows have horns
It rains a lot and floods twice a year, so you can't get to town
When it's not raining, it can be so dry the lantana dies
In winter there are severe frosts
The nearest shop is 30Km
The nearest pub is 20km
There is a piggery that smells when the wind comes from the north.
Then again.....set against listening to JG's voice for 8 months, it doesn't sound too bad........

Reminds me, I must update my prices for listening to campaign phone calls, and re-send the letter to all parties.
I think this year, $50 will get them 2 minutes of my time, after that they get 1 minute or part thereof for $20 - plus GST of course.
I was accused of being unreasonable last time, but if they don't ring me they don't have to pay. What say the wise counsel here?

This coming election is a no-win situation ... whoever wins, we will be no better off. Sad state of affairs indeed.
Cheers.

hard hats
Wheelin, forgot the dingoes as well as the leeches....
I don't really need JG and TA in hi-vis and hard hats running around the farm talking up mining or agriculture thanks all the same.
The best thing we ever did as a country was to build Canberra for the Politicians, for much of the year we are safe.

It will be easy to find a page in the newspaper to clean the paint brushes.
Politics on the front pages and football on the back pages, with the finals of both in September.

Don't vote, it only encourages them!
I 'fell off' the electoral roll years ago and I'm not looking to get back on in a hurry!

Where can I hide for the next eight months?
Great idea Alex, and whichever push poller rings violently agree with them. Then tell them you are all excited and are only wearing your budgie smugglers and ask what are they doing when their shift is over

Great idea Greg, all I need is someone to manage my life while I'm hiding.

Ah crap have just worked out why Sept the mongrels have done it again its peak snow season. I recall what took place back in the 80's? mid snow season it was a shambles.
I thought it also school holidays but its not for Public schools although private might be on holidays already.

HI wheelinround
I am flabergasted (always wanted to use that one) with the insight those numerpologists you referenced came upon.
"The election winner will be the candidate who reaches out to people and appeals to people," he said.
It is astonishong they can identify such obscure elements as winning tactics. Hope the parties were reading....

The first alien vs predator movie, the slogan was "whoever wins you lose". I always think of it when I see politicians on TV.
Fencefurniture: you beat me to to.
Viewing it as theater helps I find, just imagine it's all a soap opera...and try to forget they are spending our taxes...
My vote does not count and most of yours don't also. If you live in a safe seat like mine the incumbent party will retain no matter what. Only swing voters in marginals really matter.I'm just a startled bunny in the headlights of life. L.J. Young.
We live in a free country. We have freedom of choice. You can choose to agree with me, or you can choose to be wrong.
Wait! No one told you your government was a sitcom?
