Winning the "War on Water"

Iemma has gifted the federal government with NSW water resources. What a turkey.

As any historian will tell you, voters do not like to change government during war-time.

Reagan knew it, Bush knows it and Menzies knew it. And most of all Howard, as Menzies' protege and reknowned history-phile, is dead certain of it.

Why else the sudden change of heart on climate change culminating in this new war of wars - Water! - in an election year. (Methinks the election is the war he's really intent on winning.)

And while we're winning, isn't it nice that Ricky Ponting scooped the pool at the Allan Border Medal night last night? Congratulations Ricky and the entire cricket team, both Test and ODIs. We Aussies sure love our sport - and winning. Especially the winning bit.

I can't help but think that if we were winning the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, our evening news would have evolved thus:
News
War
Sport
War
Weather
War

But we're not, we're losing, so the stories are buried.

Aussie Aussie Aussie. Oi Oi Oi
