Good News, Bad News

Lleyton got beaten in the Wimbledon quarter finals overnight. HOORAY!

Sadly, for me, much of the news of the week has been politics. A lot of whoohah over the Government's IR laws. The Labour Party won a newspoll, they would have won an election if one was held last week, on the the strength of their stance against the Howard gov'ts IR laws.

Well, that leaves me totally stuffed. I'm dismayed, I loathe the Howard gov't and probably would have voted labour next time, but it looks like the next election will be fought on this issue, and the new IR laws are the only good thing the Gov't has done. I have always believed that an employer and employee should be able to make whatever arrangements they like without interference. Looks like I will remain in a political vaccuum. I agree with most of what Bob Brown says but he isn't going to be elected (PM), so he can say anything, which the others can't. But it looks like I'm a 'Green' again.
