It's November and I have not written a blog for an entire month. I said I was bone lazy and I can't offer any excuses. Things have been happening but just have not written down a single thing, yet there has been plenty to make me mad. By keeping silent is tantamount to endorsing
the status quo.
Well our Federal MP has announced she is quitting politics at the next Election in 2010. The Liberals announced their candidate for the poll and he is a former television newsreader. I do hope that somebody will bring forward more suitable candidates. My electorate is considered to be one of the most marginal in Australia and with Ms Campbell departing, it is almost impossible to predict which way the vote will go.
Launceston just had the biannual local government elections and only one new candidate was elected to the Council. The mayoral election was farcial with Albert Van Zetten winning by only three votes from Rosemary Armitage. There were 50,000 votes cast. It is a pity that Jeremy Ball failed to get elected as Deputy mayor.
