The Liberals will also need a strategy for the next fortnight. The only thing that has substantially changed is that their bid of a five cent petrol price cut has been trumped by the Nationals to a twenty cent cut.

The next fortnight won’t have parliament sitting for them to grandstand. It won’t have state Newspolls coming out on a daily basis setting the news agenda each morning. Tax cuts come in from tomorrow and who is to say that when the Greenhouse Gas Emissions report comes out on Friday that there won’t be huge positive announcements of excise cuts accompanying it?

Maybe your right. Perhaps bottled water in places like Australia is the “jump the shark” indulgence that our modern society can’t sustain.

I hope the 12,000 mile bottled water joins it.

Over the weekend had someone chewing my ear about the high cost of petrol. Which might have been fair enough except the drongo was sipping on a tiny bottle of a well known French mineral water that probably cost twice as much as a litre of unleaded.

Okay, I don’t drink the tap water here either, its officially the worst tasting in the country, but there’s plenty of local spring water that is cheaper and hasn’t been transported half way around the world.
