Election update 25 July.
I have just rturned form a Veterans Handicap race. As I came back past the roundabout at Yass Rd in Queanbeyan there were a row of about 6 young persons holding up signs promoting Mr Gazard. Ihave seen that in the US in the past, and also Brendan Nelson did something similar as a way of saying 'Thank you" to his electors when he left office.
The markets are basically staying where they were, although the coalition had moved out to $4.25.
There have been a few interesting events on the radio news this morning:

There have been a few interesting events on the radio news this morning:
- The Liberal Party in NSW have disendorsed some character (see image to the left, ex ABC website) who complained about his opponent being a Muslim. ABC radio then carried a comment from the disendorsed one raving on about how Muslims shouldn't be allowed in Parliament. It does make one wonder about their preselection processes!
- The Liberals have also announced that they are going to cut immigration. Unfortunately it appears that economic conditions have already done this for them, so they are looking like chumps.
- The ALP has announced a cash-for-clunkers scheme, and also tax allowances for people to improve the energy efficiency of commercial premises. WRT the latter, I hope it is better managed than the home insulation scheme!
- The Greens have been fulminating about the ALP plan to have a consultative forum about climate change. It seems that consultation is not what the Greens are interested in: if anyone is still listening to their announcements they seem to be doing a good job of shooting themselves in the foot!!
