Anyone want to sell me a wetsuit? Medium-tall steamer or sho

I know Don or Shari or someone will scream at me for not using the classifieds, but I notice nobody actually is

Re: Bombora - History of Australian Surfing

As someone with a short attention span, I'm impressed that it had me interested from go to whoah Thanks Nick I was particularly intrigued by the focus on Bob Pike, an often overlooked character in 1960s Oz Surfing - and Scott Dillon & Gordon Woods also Most docos covering this era just deal with Mid...

I'd put money on him being a backpacker who doesn't realise it's possible to wear clothes to the beach & then change into your wettie He was probably en route to Town Hall Stn in order to surf Bondi There are some Swedish surfers who live in the apartment block of a friend of mine in Bellevue Hill, ...

What's the go with Joe Hocking? The bloke wants to be a bulldog. Is he like this naturally or does he want to show a tough front in a push for leadership later, or is he the token feral? No, the token feral is Tony "I'm a really good Christian, but have no hesitation in lying on the 7.30 Rpt about ...

You will at the next election though.

"actually he never had a hope really against the might of the coalition" That's incorrect When Latham became leader of the opposition he polled very very strongly (about 55-45) until he started shooting from the hip and then had his meltdown This had nothing to do with the "might of the coalition" ...

The "all politicians lie" defence isn't a satisfactory one Howard & his cabinet took lying to a level none of his predecessors had ever stooped, by... *the sheer magnitude (lies about Iraq, the AWB, Children Overboard, Patrick Stevedoring/MUA) *the blatancy (his 'core & non-core promises' comment sh...

"I dont think real leaders are in the job for longevity, as it would seem was howards main aim" Too true Mungo McCallum's comment on Howard was that he was "the only Australian PM of whom it could be said he would NOT have earnt more money had he not entered politics" In other words, every other PM ...

True, oldman

I asked a friend from the Canberra Press Gallery who he thought genuinely liked Howard (rather than simply who admired or kow-towed to him)

He replied that David Barnett & Pru Goward were the only possible candidates

"Howard suborned most small "Ls"by threat or promise of "riches"" What on earth did he offer Phillip Ruddock in order to get Ruddock to perform such hideous acts against refugees & asylum seekers? Apparently Ruddock is (or used to be) pretty liberal (small L) Nowadays, due no doubt to selling his so...

I agree

I'd been part of the ABH (Anything But Howard) camp since forever

Electing Latham would at least have broken the Howard stranglehold & obliged the Liberals to rethink & regroup (sans Howard)

Plus, we'd have avoided Work Choices
