What a wonderfully weird year we are having.

Firstly , with politics (and I have no idea if this is happening everywhere), but both the Australian Prime Minister (Coalition Party) and quite a few of his cronies, have treated their time in power as if they were still in opposition.    They have never seemed to have enjoyed the fruits of their labour, (good pun there, I thought), preferring instead to squabble in public when they weren’t continually raking the same old fodder about the faults and failures of the previous  instead of getting on with the job that they had been voted in to do -and when the Prime Minister wasn’t telling all and sundry that he had lied about virtually every single thing he had promised to do in order to get elected, his own department was leaking information to the press on an almost daily basis … and what they were leaking was usually a contradictory statement to the one the appropriate minister was just releasing.    Go figure.

But with the oddness of their reign at the top I suppose there is no surprise in the fact that another spillage has been called (a little over an hour ago) and we could have a new Prime Minister before I have finished typing this blog.

And a new treasurer .

And a new … and so on.

And our current P.M. is expected to lose.   Even Big Clive Palmer sent him a text.   “Goodbye, Tony” was all that he wrote)   Quote:  Channel Ten:  The Project.

If this is how the winners treat the corridors of power as a prize, I would hate to think what they would have done if they had lost the last election.

Here in the Queensland the incumbent party (Labor) (the opposite party to the federal government) have been carrying on like pork chops as they too spend more time berating the previous government while doing precious little in making things right – and they have this wonderful ability to totally dismiss the fact that the previous government had inherited a massive finacial problem from the Labor Party caused by the current government when they were in power not that long back – and they are the same problems they are blaming on the previous government.    

I can remember a time, not that long ago, when politicians applied to the public to be elected to do certain things that seemed to need fixing … now they only seem to worry about the next election from the moment they are elected.   And that applies to all parties as far as I can see.

Clive Palmer even sent him a “Goodbye, Tony” twitter so I guess our current P.M. won’t be the boss by the time the sun rises over the horizon.

I wonder if all these goings on will inspire the Labor Party to do the same thing before next year’s general election?

And while the dust is still swirling around the weird world of politics I am pleased to announce that an all Queensland Grand Final is still a strong possibility, though after seeing Serena William’s dream of winning all four grand slam events in the one year come to a grinding halt and Roger Fedder’s dream of being the oldest player to win a grand slam event also die a painful death, I know I am pushing my luck.    But we are Queenslanders … we are rough and tough.   We have teh best two teams in the comp.  We have Wayne Bennett in our corner … and WE STILL BELIEVE IN FAIRY TALES AND HAPPY ENDINGS.

Well that’s it for today.

The Night of the Darkness is due out shortly

Lots of Love and see ya soon
