They will never win it back. RO will hold the seat for as long as he desires, then it will revert to Libs or Labor. I expect a smear campaign against RO will be the Nats only option and it will fail miserably. jayne

Savagely, and with pleasurable aplomb, the government would peel the micron-thin skin off this quivering quiche, getting to the soft yellow filling, which they'd chew into pieces and spit derisively into the face of the born-to-rule crackpots.

Wouldn't it be great if Oz were to take up on this with our vast open areas available for solar farms. I have copied this link from another area and i think you will be supercharged after you read it. Hopefully big oil will not be able to buy it out and shelve it. http://web.mit.edu/newsoffice/2008/oxygen-0731.html Ron
