But a conversation last week turned 'interesting' when a mate admitted that his good lady wife often harboured thoughts of vi*l*nce towards our duly elected government. So I told him to tell her about what I dream about, which involved D*wner and a bear. Mind you, I need to give up the nightcaps so he dreams don't occur quite so often....philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12011647023598364166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6732615.post-1161956336559758792006-10-27T23:38:00.000+10:002006-10-27T23:38:00.000+10:00Well, Kurt, (and I'm no expert) I think it's becau...Well, Kurt, (and I'm no expert) I think it's because the coal industry lobby (i.e. BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto) have a stranglehold on the government's energy policy making process. I might add that I doubt it would be any different if the Labor opposition party got into power. Laber has no guts or intention to buck The System either.
