These are people who are likely to have built up a bit on equity in their first home over the last 5-10 years. Let’s see if their enthusiasm wanes a few years into a Rudd government once their equity has evaporated, irrelevant unions are running the country and the economy has gone down the toilet. Perhaps they should ask their parents why Australia can only afford one Labour government each generation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38552976.post-28236204748974061342007-08-16T20:51:00.000+10:002007-08-16T20:51:00.000+10:00firstly, lad litter, nice axe.being a half-arsed c...firstly, lad litter, nice axe.<BR/><BR/>being a half-arsed collingwood supporter, it's heartening to know supporters of other teams have their own burdens (such as a costello member) to carry. <BR/><BR/>tim and peter are the yin and yang of the political spectrum, so there's every chance peter's negative association will be cancelled out by tim's...RG - parental politicohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13713789679696362900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38552976.post-53265375450189307532007-08-16T11:48:00.000+10:002007-08-16T11:48:00.000+10:00Ah, that was a good read, RG.
