Ugh do we really have to ride out 2 more years of bumbling rear end in a top hat government? Can't some marginal seatwarmer just retire/kick it already and trigger the next DD, solving several problems at once.

Please don't take this advice. Killing politicians is likely to give them a martyr bump and removing an individual problem may lead to the opposite of the desired outcome.

I could never defend that nutter but at the same time you can't have inconsistent application of the same rules on different people.

Well I mean you CAN but I never want anyone involved to say "a fair go" ever again.

Apparently Culleton is entitled to apply to have his debt forgiven if he writes a letter to the Finance department but knowing him he will probably do something crazy like try to appeal to the privy council.

In his mind, no, because it was not a maritime court that found him bankrupt and the laws they used do not apply to him, clearly/

Pretty sure bankruptcy doesn't usually wipe debts to the commonwealth, unless you can get them waived.

quote:

One big problem Connolly and other magazine editors had was that decent pictures of Corby were scarce.

"Cover girls are typically beautiful. They're studio images, they're well made-up, they've got hair and make-up, wind machines. It was really difficult to get images of Schapelle that were going to be beautiful, that our readers would walk past in Woolworths or a petrol station and think, 'Ooh, gorgeous.'
"We've got a prisoner here. Often the photos were taken by prisoners behind bars, or by paparazzi from outside jail. Images became very valuable at that point."

The faster the revolution comes so people like this can be put up against the wall, the better IMO.

Depends on the circumstances, if I'm just going up to Richmond from the CBD, it costs more than going from Brisbane out to Toowong which is about the same distance. The fares in Brisbane were lowered and the zoning was made a lot simpler at the start of the year which improved the situation up there dramatically.

Also, GoCard is far more reliable than Myki. Just, loving christ Myki is crap.
