Hip Hip Hooray
Lyn Scully is returning to Ramsay Street.
It doesn't get any better than this. Oh, it does, actually. The new Melrose Place is "All About Sydney". Bring it on!

The campaign so far...
A few random thoughts on our federal election...
The Liberal Party strategy is to go hard on the attack ads for the first few weeks, to get their "doubts" set in people's minds. Then drop them for the race home, hoping that seed has been planted and they can simply echo Kev's positivist future cry, and try to avoid any "dirt unit/slanging match" criticism.
Kevin Rudd has made a complete balls-up of the ALP's climate change policy. I don;t know how much more me-too I can do. Or if there is anything left he can me-too on...
How about some investment in the future guys? And I don't mean a nation full of literate tradies either...
What was so wring with Medicare Gold anyway?

keywords
"union bosses"
"child sexual abuse"
"clever"
"pornography"
"impact on the family"
"the safety of our customers"
You get my drift. Keep saying them over and over, and hopefully something will seep into the national psyche. I don't understand why Julia Gillard or Kevin Rudd, or any of their team have not responded to the wall-to-wall overuse of the term "union bosses" by identifying it as a keyword the Liberals are using. Just like they are with Johnny being a "clever" politician.
I have no doubt that the sleeping issues that lie in the backgound of the recent "emergency" response to an issue that has barely changed in 11 years—alcohol abuse, child sexual abuse, the availability of pornography—are the real reason this policy was concocted, to bring these issues into the subconscious of the "mums and dads", without explicitly addressing them as "problems" for the entirety of Australian society. Surely these have been popping up in Mark Textor's focus groups, and are seen to be important issues for the "Howard battlers" and conservative new families living on the urban fringes of our capital cities.
Much the same applies to why, for example, our private "public transport" companies are focuissing so much on consumer "safety", rather than on service provision, new lines, or getting more rolling stock, um, rolling.

Lyrics I love (volume 4)
This could be the very minute / I'm aware I'm alive / All these places feel like home / With a name I'd never chosen / I can make my first steps / As a child of 25 / This is the straw, final straw in the / Roof of my mouth as I lie to you / Just because I'm sorry doesn't mean / I didn't enjoy it at the time / You're the only thing that I love / It scares me more every day / On my knees I think clearer / Goodness knows I saw it coming / Or at least I'll claim I did / But in truth I'm lost for words / What have I done it's too late for that / What have I become truth is nothing yet / A simple mistake starts the hardest time / I promise I'll do anything you ask...this time

Lyrics I love (volume 3)
It all makes sense now I've calmed down / I should have seen it coming from miles down the road / But at the time we never think / That it might have been ourselves to blame at all
You shudder and beat your chest / But you'll never warm yourself up believe me / Where were you i'd made it through / But only god can judge me now, I hope he's in
Why do hearts break when we are on our own? / Just when you need to pump the life back in yourself / And why do earthquakes happen miles away? / When I only want the open ground to swallow me
Who told you I'd not come through / Before I could speak to you in my defence / Who made you the righteous one / When I'd only turned around for half an hour
Why do chalklines tell an empty tale / Surely its bad enough to end up on the floor / And you can scratch your chin / And think you understand / And how can you know whats going on inside my head / Maybe I'm better off alive than in my bed
You shudder and beat your chest / But you'll never warm yourself up believe me / Where were you i'd made it through / But only god can judge me now, I hope he's in
Why do hearts break when we are on our own? / Just when you need to pump the life back in yourself / And why do earthquakes happen miles away? / When I only want the open ground to swallow me
Who told you I'd not come through / Before I could speak to you in my defence / Who made you the righteous one / When I'd only turned around for half an hour
Why do chalklines tell an empty tale / Surely its bad enough to end up on the floor / And you can scratch your chin / And think you understand / And how can you know whats going on inside my head / Maybe I'm better off alive than in my bed
