Turnbull and the republic

Just chucking this in from the grab-bag of myriad random thoughts that sometimes make it into the blog. Have just posted this "comment" on the latest post from Guambat Stew. (ya hafta be quick to keep up with the prodigous output, over there.)

Keep an eye on Mr Turnbull .. if ya can't change the system from the outside, work it from the inside.

Have to admit, though, that am definitely anti-republican. Hopefully will be dead before Turnbull becomes Prime Minister and sets up the next referendum.


There are two blokes that have been "following", so to speak. Kevin Rudd and Malcolm Turnbull. Kevin is now putting his cards on the table. Malcolm is still keeping his, close to the chest.

Just when our prisons are overflowing again, and Tony Blair has doubtless been wondering if he could send a more few ships full of manacled men, women and children to Botany Bay!

And I suppose you lot will wrestr back the Ashes too. Enough is enough, you know.
