Standing (or sitting) in a room with a bunch of other guys watching some bird who is clearly uninterested get her norks out. What is it with boobs? As a bloke, and I think most other males would agree, I think they are fantastic. They are so cute and have little squigy bits on the end. If I was a girl I would never leave my room. Well, back to politics. I think that although Kev may have damaged his reputation slightly with the older group, he has gained a new legion of supporters from the younger generation. Who wouldnt trust a pollie that went to the skimpys on taxpayers money? What a Champion. And finally taxpayers money has been put to good use. At least we would understand if he went over budget. Cant wait for this years election. Go Labour Strip joints eh? Fairly overrated in my personal opinion.

They need support from other initiatives like you mentioned. Hence I'm very skeptical of people who claim projects will do otherwise, ie. the "old" Northbridge Link.

And told his wife! Four years ago!" to the story. So far he's playing it right - ie, contrite and apologetic and "yes it was wrong and I shouldn't have done it but, ahem, I'm human too!" It's kind of a non-story, really, and just makes tabloidish idiots out of the papers. The Mugabe regime student visas thing smacks of the government realising that they need to be seen to be doing something and this being the first thing they thought of that requires minimum effort (and, incidentally, minimal impact. We could give them the benefit of the doubt there, though. Could.) Really, if you think about it, at least if the kids are being educated here thy're getting a decent education, without brainwashing etc, in a working democracy. I fail to see the bad in that.
