The other day on 3AW Neil Mitchell was talking to State Treasurer John Brumby about the today's Budget. In concluding Mitchell asked...
Mitchell - "Will there be any new taxes in the Budget?"
Brumby - "No."
Mitchell - "Will there be any new charges in the Budget?"

One thing about being on holidays, is that you get to lie in bed and listen to the radio. Here in Melbourne there's a choice between John Faine on the ABC, Neil Mitchell on 3AW and Kevin Bartlett on Sport 927. Usually I switch between the three depending on what's being talked about.
Anyway, I decided to listen to John Faine. This morning he interviewed Transport Minister Peter Tonyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08789821484460689172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3770934.post-926307772003-04-15T14:52:00.000+10:002003-04-15T16:23:37.000+10:00MORE GABBA GOLD
Fat Cat has a Fat Head
Yesterday I accidentally mentioned Aussie cricketer Greg Ritchie. Accidentally, at first, that is. Because, In the same way Fleming discovered bread mould cured sore throats, some Greek guy's wet bathroom floor became an Aussie symbol of Unionism and an apple gave Isaac Newton a headache, Greg Ritchie turned Gabba Garbage into Gabba Gold.

The State Govt today announced they're gonna Tip 1 Billion into public transport. Now, why would they do something like that? Why wouldn't they just hold the private companies, Connex, M-Trains, etc to the terms of their contracts? After all, one billion dollars is a lot of money (Our Money) to spend purely to try to discredit the previous Kennett Tonyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08789821484460689172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3770934.post-925712722003-04-14T18:21:00.000+10:002003-04-14T18:28:04.000+10:00TOOFY

First Test - Day 4
Ahem. Never in Doubt.
The trend continues. The Aussies have won another Test Match inside four days. I'm conflicted over this. I like to spank all comers but I also love Test cricket so I'd like to get my five days worth. Of course that point's about as sharp as a bowling ball because I only watched about half an hour's worth this time.
However, on balance Tonyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08789821484460689172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3770934.post-925093312003-04-13T11:52:00.000+10:002003-04-13T12:53:58.000+10:00TRULY AWFUL
On first hearing the Cher song, Do You Believe, I shook my head in disbelief and said to myself; "That's the worst song I've ever heard!". Then there were the subsequent occasions I was unfortunate enough to cop an earful. Walking past women's clothing stores, strolling through airports, lunching in food courts.

First Test - Day 2
I didn't get to see much of the Cricket Last Night. None in fact. The only bit I saw was seen through a Fog Of Hangover early this morning. Very disappointed. 1 for 285 becomes All Out 489. Once again Australia squander a brilliant start. Now they're 252 ahead when it should be 400 some time today.
252 ahead means that if, on this miniscule ground it's not Tonyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08789821484460689172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3770934.post-924656792003-04-12T13:19:00.000+10:002003-04-12T13:23:48.000+10:00THE QUALITY PRESS

First Test - Day 1
Cricket's back. Good. Starts at midnight. Bad. On holidays. Good. Only two weeks. Bad.
The Action Last Night reminded me of the recent World Cup of Benaud. Windies all out for 237, Aussies 1 for 120. Sounds like a Duckyloo result.
I predicted a 3-0 series win for the Aussies and saw nothing last night which altered that prediction. No Hooper. No Sarwan.

"It's very foggy here Kent. It's the fog of war."
