content: Abbott is increasingly looking like being our next prime minister, we've got an election this week end.The current government is rolling out fibre to the home. The opposition, which will probably win this weekend, will stop that and provide fibre to the node leaving the last leg of the connection as the existing copper network, which is some area's can barely cope with voice due to it's age. Around my place, every time we get a good down-pour of rain the lines go down. Our phone lines are an underground service

content: The media in Oz are pushing Abbot and painting Rudd black, because the media owners are aligned with those who benefit from the carbon credits trading scam. Billions of dollars of profit there, for a few. But Rudd appears to not be on board with that. Back-pedaling on implementation of the carbon trading scheme was what got him overthrown last time, and his 'lets make carbon trading a free market, to find the true value' talk recently lost him the Elite's support this time. Because the true value is zero. Rudd knows that, and they know he knows it. So he has to be stopped. For Profit!

content: I agree, it was patently clear that the Libs were scared sh!tless to have Abbott try and face any sort of in depth interviewing. How the hell can anyone make a balanced decision at the ballot box, oh, I forgot that there's a lot of people with shallow thought processes in society. Then there's the "me, me, me, greed, greed, greed" crowd. Oh we'll, I'll be numbering all the boxes on my ballot paper.
