Zed's New Year Message

“there are so many opportunities our new Assembly offers since the people have decided to remove the Stanhope Gallagher majority”… and replaced it with an assembly in which the Greens have the balance of power and the Liberals have one less seat. I presume that he means opportunities to bicker with the other ACT Libs anyway.

good that he can say it, but it is a resolution. most likely, the first to be broken…

all these people you hear saying publicly that they’re going to “spend more time with their family”…. I’ve never yet seen any evidence of them doing so!

Zed’s not dead?

I think Zed was referring to “our budget” in the sense of it belonging to all the ACT Community. It will certainly be all of us who have to pay back the resulting debt.

Spending through the “economic downturn” is about all a Government can do, but it better be spent on things that result in a local economic stimulus and improve our underlying infrastructure.

With our budget going into a massive deficit,

i didn’t think it was his budget; innit stanhope’s..? a badly written piece of waffle to end the year to give act residents little hope for an energetic and capable opposition to keep appropriate checks and balances – well done zed…
