Emo-man does anger (again)
Howard govt - - Posted on September, 15 at 8:43 pm by Ken L
Gosh, Australian politics is exciting. Did you watch the news tonight? Brendan is declaring the Liberal leadership open tomorrow (I heard that person who made the smartarse crack about not knowing it had ever been filled, I’ll deal with you later).
In the party meeting Brendan was angry. He was impassioned. He was angry and impassioned and if he wins he’s gonna make some changes, starting with a cleanout of the front bench, and reinvent himself as a new kind of leader. So Michael Brissenden told us on the 7.30 Report a few minutes ago (BTW when did he get back on the box? I thought he lost his seat along with Howard.) He made Brendan sound like Dirty Harry.
I remember when Howard and Peacock did this sort of thing for years, it was lots of fun. I hope Brendan wins tomorrow so we can see Nelson the Leader ver.2 and the media can start writing stories about when the next challenge will come.
OOOHH the story bumped Cos off the 7.30 Report. I gather he was going to pimp some book he’s written. Ill wind etc etc.

Call me crazy but I reckon Brendon should give politics the Spanish Archer, and go into movies,he is a dead set ringer for “Bela Lugosi” he’d win an academy award on looks alone.
Hey Ken, Brendon Nelson being angry,is like what Paul Keating said about one of the other conservative num nuts, whose name escapes me, “Like being savaged by a dead sheep” Is it me, or is Brendon Nelson more boring than a fucking drilling rig?
But hey being serious for a minute, Brendon is on a fucking roll, the socialists in the West have been dumped,and we are about to get a new dollar sweets who sniffs seats.
But hey who knows, maybe the West will go bankrupt when Mr Grylls(He talks like Jamie Oliver the pommy bait layer) calls up his marker,I mean for fuck sake, how many more wheat bins and new chicken runs can the Chinese economy stand?
Oh and Nas,I havn’t forgotten you I will definately ring you the week end.Oh by the way I saw your little tiff on another blog!You arguing with that load of toady’s, is really not you mate. Your stuff and analysis of anything is light years ahead of the shite there..
September 15th, 2008 at 10:18 pm
You’re looking for passion in an alternate Prime Minister?
Forget it! These days it’s about half-arsed grins, platitudes and weasel words.
The last party leader who tried to put some “fire” into Federal politics was Latham. And he was slammed by the meeja as a loose cannon and hung out to dry by his own mob.
The sheeple want someone bland who can just keep low and await their call.
Our current conservative, populist top bureaucrat didn’t win the election, the last conservative, populist top bureaucrat lost it.

:)…good to see you back Phill, missed your down-to-earth, frank & blunt assessment of goings-on. The shit’s about to hit the fan everywhere & all the buggers can talk about is an Opposition that hasn’t enuff sycophantic paper friends now to wipe all of the arseh*les in that Party with. We warned and warned but the conversation kept going to fckn lattes & which buggers are dancing around SantaGrinch’s pole. King John & miserable numbnuts over in Yankeeland have dropped us all in it. Just hoping Labor listened enuff & moved lickety-split to shore our big isle up…if not, and maybe even if they have, gawd we’ll be up shits creek w/ only those starring in ten canoes w/ the knowledge of how to survive on what will be scorched earth post the conflict w/ China & Russia.
We just watched the recording of Dr. Who from last night…weird synchronicity…happens heaps these days…even S’ is noticing it…had stuff about labour camps. Something many of us have worried about for awhile…& this bloody Xmas island.
And THE CROSS. Bloody thing keeps showin’ up everywhere. They never bloody learn. Gotta be somethin’ loopy in the genes. Self-destructive, yet arrogant & egotistical as hell.
Hope i’m just tired & paranoid…but so much of what we spoke about way back is eventuating.
Look forward to the call.

I decided before I got here,if the Brendon Nelson thing was on a blog I’ll defend him.So I am here now,and haven’t changed my mind,although sort of laughed.Whatever characters you can draw into Nelson’s are probably true in extremis,or whatever the Latin is.He carried the baked beans with a wrathful vengeance,as if Popeye had met his match in our Parliament.So if he now challenges all challenges,the beans will be on the toast.I say,he isnt offending me by all this,the ALP can pretend they are the only ones who are,because of the Johny-Come-Lately to the pensioner problem by the Libs.I seem to recall Howard often didn’t offend me either,so ,that may mean,that some may be underestimating how sharp Nelson can be!Again wait and see.He may earn my antagonism later.
September 15th, 2008 at 11:18 pm
Indeed Nas indeed. You know I wouldn’t be surprised for a nano second, if Rudd and the boys were chosen out, to take the fall for what is about to go down.
The machinations of the Nelson saga are just a side show,nothing here lets move on.You know it’s funny, the financial fuck up that is unfolding before our very own eyes, was predicted by the nervous nelly’s like us, three years ago.
But the real kicker is, the conservatives knew it was coming, and a thirty dollar rise for pensioners will drive the economy into hyper inflation.I’m not saying they don’t need it, but I do agree with Rudd this time,act in haste repent at leisure.
Anyway I reckon it’s over for Nelson, Turnbull is an obnoxious blow hard, but he has the people who really run the company called Australia in his pocket.The Jewish pianos will be ringing a fine tune in unison, as Australia is plundered once again,the money messiah commeth.
How’s their form ref the pensioners? Nelson with his jar of jam and baked beans, I nearly went into an epileptic fit laughing. The Australian Liberal Party warriors for the poor.All this and with a straight face.
Of course how well I remember all those times they pleaded to the once, “Industrial Relations Commission ” to give the workers a pay rise,and all that money spent on old folks homes etc. They are an insult to the little intelligence I have.
Still when the fucking financial reckoning comes,and it will,the fuckers that have caused all this, will live in fucking luxury.And the poor and others, will be left to pick up the tab as per fucking usual.Fuck em.
September 16th, 2008 at 1:04 am
I did a bit of anger myself tonight - watched 4 Corners. Apparently Ruddock & Vanstone had nothing to say. What on earth could they say, sorry perhaps? I’ll bet London to a brick none of the rest have anything to say either, especially that champion of the opressed, Emo-man. What a joke.
September 16th, 2008 at 8:54 am
“Still when the fucking financial reckoning comes,and it will,the fuckers that have caused all this, will live in fucking luxury.And the poor and others”
Let me show you why I reckon so many influential Aussies would luv to see the former merchant banker Malcolm Turnbull take the leadership now…or later:
Firstly, .take a look at some of those about to skyrocket into luxury palace:
http://www.originenergy.com.au/1210/The-Board
Interesting all the corporations they have or have had their snouts in…Macquarie Bank, Westpac & Envestra Limited (Envestra Victoria Pty Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Envestra Ltd (Envic) and Westpac Banking Corporation Ltd have agreed to a $100 million, three-year bank facility - Busness Spectator 4 Sept 08), McKinsey & Company (Kingmakers), Caltex (hmmm), Shell, Woodside, Contact Energy (being raided in NZ), AGL Pipelines, BlueScope Steel Limited, Healthscope Limited…the list goes on…
Furthermore, if McCain’s lot are so much into American energy independence then why are their Texan mates at ConocoPhillips buying into heaps of Aussie gas? It seems obvious w/ all the hurricanes they’re getting this offshore thing ain’t lookin’ so grand. Bit of a SHOW I reckon to deceive the American public. And they could be using the manufactured showdown w/ Russia to scare Poland & extort money out of that less than wealthy populace to help Conoco-Philips pay for this deal w/ Origin. The American taxpayer will pay for the missile shield in Poland…so it’s possible government officials are pushing the Neo-Cons in Poland to put pressure on refiner PKN Orlen to cough up money.

Conoco says Belle Chasse refinery still down
Mon Sep 15, 2008
NEW YORK, Sept 15 (Reuters) - ConocoPhillips (COP.N: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) said on Monday its 195,000 barrel per day Alliance oil refinery in Belle Chasse, Louisiana, remained down after shutting more than two weeks ago prior to Hurricane Gustav.
The refinery has power and is preparing for restart, the company said in a press release.
ConocoPhillips added its 280,000 bpd Lake Charles, Louisiana, refinery remained at reduced rates after Gustav.
ConocoPhillips said that its 300,000 bpd Sweeny, Texas, refinery also had power in the wake of the more recent Hurricane Ike, but that it remains shut during an assessment of the facility’s condition. (Reporting by Richard Valdmanis at Reuters)
ALSO
PRAGUE, Sept 15 (Reuters) - Poland’s top refiner PKN Orlen PKNA.WA agreed to pay $100 million to ConocoPhillips (COP.N: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) to settle a long-running dispute over ownership of Czech Benzina’s filling stations, a newspaper reported on Monday.
The disagreement stems from a 2004 deal under which PKN agreed to sell around 100 Benzina petrol stations to ConocoPhillips as part of a $480 million bid for Czech refiner Unipetrol (UNPEsp.PR: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz).
The Polish group had tried to renegotiate the deal and never sold the stations.
Czech daily Hospodarske Noviny said the companies had reached an agreement to settle the dispute, citing unnamed sources.

AND INTERESTINGLY…so much excitement from the Murdoch rags:
Terry McCrann of Daily Telegraph
September 09, 2008
Wow. Grant King and his advisors at Macquarie have blown the BG takeover bid for Origin right out of the water, in a way I’ve certainly never seen before.
Certainly in a domestic sense, the price of carbon is core. Gas is and will be priced off the price of electricity.
But offshore - and almost all this gas is going to be exported - LNG is priced off oil.
So there are two broad futures. Both positive for gas; albeit at different intensities.
We do move into a carbon-constrained world; gas is aimed at directly replacing coal; and so it attracts a huge carbon premium.
Or we don’t. China keeps pumping carbon. So yes, gas might lose its carbon premium. But then OIL - and gas - remains in short supply as China’s energy needs grow by 15 per cent-plus a year.
Thuis is peciseloy why this is the best deal for Origin shareholders. A real value package that gives them significant cash upfront plus effectively a free carried half-share in any future CSG upside.
——–(Don’t ya luv his spelling)
SYDNEY -(Dow Jones…Murdoch owned now)- Origin Energy Ltd.’s (ORG.AU) US$8 billion sale of half of its coal seam gas assets to ConocoPhillips (COP) was based on a fair, “arm’s length value” of the assets, an independent assessor said Monday.
Origin released a report on its business by Grant Samuel, in which the assessor found its full underlying value was A$28.55 to A$30.71 a share. It released the valuation last Monday but not the report itself.
Origin and ConocoPhillips plan to develop one of five proposed LNG plants in Gladstone, Queensland to convert CSG to liquefied natural gas for export.

Last week, Patrick Corp’s Chris Corrigan blasted the independent valuation of its takeover target, Virgin Blue, as “ludicrously inflated.” He said the report by Grant Samuel was “fundamentally flawed”.
But it is not just the bidders who are criticising reports. In the case of retailer Foodland, an analyst at Patersons Securities, Russell Wright, said the Grant Samuel report showed “an obvious lack of true independence”.

Grant Samuel & Associates said yesterday that in conjunction with Wana Ungkunytja and Wayne Kirkpatrick - the former manager of the resort - it is seeking to form a consortium to bid for Ayers Rock Resort. Wana Ungkunytja represents the Aboriginal communities of Mutitjulu, Imanpa and Kaltukatjara from the Central Australian region surrounding Uluru.
Mr Kirkpatrick said:”Uluru [Ayers Rock] and Kata Tjuta [the Olgas] are iconic attractions for international tourists to Australia. We are optimistic that investors can be assembled to join a consortium which will capitalise on this great asset.”
In the mid-1990s he revamped the then-unloved Ayers Rock Resort before leaving to work his turnaround magic on Hamilton Island, which was bought by the billionaire businessman Bob Oatley in 2003. Mr Kirkpatrick left there two years later and is a director of Tourism Australia.
GPT’s portfolio of hotels and resorts includes landmark properties such as the Voyages Lodges group of eco resorts, as well as Bedarra, Lizard and Heron islands in Queensland.
GPT also owns the Cradle Mountain Lodge in Tasmania, Wrotham Park in North Queensland, and El Questro Resort in Western Australia.
Ayers Rock Resort is valued by GPT at $438.9 million. The resort, on 94 square kilometres of freehold land, has a full range of tourist accommodation, from deluxe hotels to camping grounds. It has 930 rooms.

Lack of regulatory institutions w/ bite is a further worry. And our 100+ billion dollars Super Fund that Costello locked away w/ a Chicago-based company that was involved w/ Enron…

Here’s some info on Turnbull that could be important considering all the economic stuff going down:
Turnbull moved to become a managing director and later a partner of Goldman Sachs, the firm operated as Turnbull & Partners Ltd. Turnbull was also chair of a large Australia Internet Service Provider, Ozemail (1994-99), a director of FTR Holdings Ltd (1995-2004), chair and managing director of Goldman Sachs Australia (1997-2001) and a partner with Goldman Sachs and Co (1998-2001).
In 1999 Turnbull sold OzEmail to the then telecommunications giant MCI Worldcom. Turnbull’s stake was reportedly worth nearly A$60 million; he is now often quoted as having a net worth of some A$150 million[citation needed], making him Australia’s richest parliamentarian.
(Wikipedia)
LET’S LOOK AT MCI Worldcom:
Beginning in 1999 and continuing through May 2002, the company (under the direction of Scott Sullivan (CFO), David Myers (Controller) and Buford “Buddy” Yates (Director of General Accounting) used fraudulent accounting methods to mask its declining earnings by painting a false picture of financial growth and profitability to prop up the price of WorldCom’s stock.[4]
The fraud was accomplished primarily in two ways:
Underreporting ‘line costs’ (interconnection expenses with other telecommunication companies) by capitalizing these costs on the balance sheet rather than properly expensing them.
Inflating revenues with bogus accounting entries from ‘corporate unallocated revenue accounts’.
Eugene Morse, an internal auditor at WorldCom reporting to Cynthia N. Cooper, uncovered approximately $3.8 billion of the fraud in June 2002 during an examination of capital expenditures.[1] Cynthia Cooper subsequently alerted the company’s new auditors, KPMG (who had replaced Arthur Andersen, WorldCom’s external auditors during the fraud) and the chairman of the audit committee, and she has been widely credited as having uncovered the fraud at Worldcom. Shortly thereafter, the company’s audit committee and board of directors were notified of the fraud and acted swiftly: Sullivan was fired, Myers resigned, Arthur Andersen withdrew its audit opinion for 2001, and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) launched an investigation into these matters on June 26, 2002 (see accounting scandals). By the end of 2003, it was estimated that the company’s total assets had been inflated by around $11 billion. [5]
[edit] Bankruptcy
On July 21, 2002, WorldCom filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the largest such filing in United States history at the time. The WorldCom bankruptcy proceedings were held before U.S. Federal Bankruptcy Judge Arthur J. Gonzalez who simultaneously heard the Enron bankruptcy proceedings which were the second largest largest bankruptcy case resulting from one of the largest corporate fraud scandals. None of the criminal proceedings against WorldCom and its officers and agents were originated by referral from Gonzalez or Department of Justice lawyers.
WorldCom changed its name to MCI, and moved the corporate headquarters from Clinton, Mississippi to Dulles, Virginia, on April 14, 2003.
Under the bankruptcy reorganization agreement, the company paid $750 million to the SEC in cash and stock in the new MCI, which was intended to be paid to wronged investors.
In May 2003, the company was given a no-bid contract by the United States Department of Defense to build a cellular telephone network in Iraq. The deal has been criticized by competitors and others who cite the company’s lack of experience in the area.
[edit] Post-bankruptcy
Bernard EbbersThe company emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2004 with about $5.7 billion in debt and $6 billion in cash. About half of the cash was intended to pay various claims and settlements. Previous bondholders ended up being paid 35.7 cents on the dollar, in bonds and stock in the new MCI company. The previous stockholders’ stock was valueless.
It has yet to pay many of its creditors, who have waited for two years for a portion of the money owed. Many of the small creditors include former employees, primarily those who were laid off in June 2002 and whose severance and benefits were withheld when WCOM filed for bankruptcy.
On August 7, 2002, the exWorldCom 5100 group was launched. It was composed of former WorldCom employees with a common goal of seeking full payment of severance pay and benefits based on the WorldCom Severance Plan. The ‘5100′ stands for the number of WorldCom employees laid off on June 28, 2002 before WorldCom filed for bankruptcy.[6]
On February 14, 2005, Verizon Communications agreed to acquire MCI for $7.6 billion.

And Turnbull’s relationship to the Murdoch family via taxpayer’s money for rain seeding:
Murdoch’s nephew
Emanating from affluent suburbs like Vaucluse, Rose Bay and Watson’s Bay, Malcolm Turnbull’s fundraising group the Wentworth Forum, includes a long list of generous donors including Frank Lowy, Ros Packer, John Simons, and Matt Handbury, chairman and part-owner of the so-called Australian Rain Corporation, beneficiary of the Minister’s funding.
Businessman Geoffrey Cousins says he has never seen the weight of spending in any one seat that Mr Turnbull is putting out in Wentworth.
“It must be well over $1 million just in this one seat, and in Australia, that’s an extraordinary amount of money. I mean, it’s starting to get like the American elections,” he said.
Mr Handbury is the wealthy nephew of Rupert Murdoch and chairman and proprietor of Murdoch Books, which is the headquarters for Australian Rain Corporation.
The 7.30 Report put to Malcolm Turnbull the following questions: has Matt Handbury’s contribution to your fundraising Wentworth Forum helped in securing funding for the Australian Rain Corporation?
“There is absolutely no connection,” he said “That is an outrageous suggestion”.
Secondly, why couldn’t the Matt Handbury Swiss consortium pay for its own research?
Response: “The company is contributing funding to the research and trial.”
Our final question to the Minister was why should this not be seen as securing funding for one of your electorate supporters ahead of an election the Government is tipped to lose?
Mr Turnbull did not directly answer this question, suggesting perhaps his first answer had.
“The Australian Government is open to new and innovative approaches to secure water,” he said.
