Okay, everybody’s mum has at some point told them that if they haven’t got anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all. This has an important caveat that it can look a bit awkward on national television. Mums and media advisers of the world, take note.

Drowning in debt? Can’tpay your bills? Never fear! Water Woman is here! To make water more, er, expensive.

A cracking opening day for Parliament 2011 yesterday saw Jools having a bit of a sook, Bligh-style. Some rather unpleasant types suggested she was putting it on, but everyone agrees Tony’s 20-odd seconds of the angriest silent nodding in interview history (admittedly a niche event) was 100% real.

The only thing Australians love more than drought and flooding rains is a rort. Being descended from convicts, we know that the trick is to get in while the getting is good and the only bad rort is a rort we don’t get a slice of, which is then rebranded “waste”.
This waste must be hunted down and destroyed, which of course leads to arguments about what is and isn’t waste, generally depending on whether your child is enrolled in the private school that’s getting the new rugby field or not.
In the long run it’s probably a waste of time worrying about it too much, best stick your snout in the nearest trough and hope it all evens out in the end.

The only thing more pointless than the flood levy (unless you happen to be particularly obsessed with a pretty bottom line during an election year, and You Know Who You Are) is adding to all the fuss and bother by opposing it rather than just raising a sarcastic eyebrow and waving the bloody thing through.
Tony’s even appealed for donations for his campaign against the levy. In case you were wondering, if you do in fact donate money to Tony’s campaign against the flood levy rather than, well, the actual flood relief appeal, there is something wrong with you.
