Did I blog it?

So, I have been completely slack and haven't blogged in ages (except for about 10 minutes ago). 
And now I have about 20 things I want to write about but now I've gone and lost my audience and any repore I had built. I have trashed all expectations of a blog per week, I have let you down and I am sorry!! 
Especially since it was my true entre' to life online; I can't do f/book, I am completely slack on tweets although many thanks to all those who are active, I do enjoy it, for those more old skool I am a pretty responsive emailer.
Hmmmm... I won't despair and relegate myself to finding a Scandanavian pen-pal who wants to practice their already near perfect English and shares blow by blow accounts of chipping snow and ice from car windows and politely tells me of their dog's well-being. I will just push on through, call it a creative hiatus and promise the following:
  • Darwin rednecks rage
  • The 'new' phenomenon of nothing new
  • How we're hangin' post Fed Election
  • Colin Barnett turns back his big white clock about 220 years
in a relatively short-  but not too ridiculous so you think i am obsessing over my own blog - timeframe.

It doesn't add up Tony


Abbott has tried to buy Wilke with a billion dollars. That's from the man who claims to stand for economic stability, not wasting money blah blah blah. Now I am not saying that hospital care in Hobart doesn't need funding. But for ***k's sake, a billion dollars on the table before any costing was done, any health professionals consulted, any thought on non-hospital care around Tasmania... need I go on? Not to harp on it, but one final point  - all Abbott would have bought was a number, one closer to 76, not a guarantee that Wilke would support any of his racist, homophobic, fear mongering, climate sceptic policies -  doesn't sound like a smart spend of one billion dollars to me...
None of this is to say I love the other dudes, but I am really tired of Abbott and in fact the Coalition, continuing to play irresponsible point scoring games presuming that the voting public will all just stand by and cop it.
