Best of luck to you, Gusface in 2009. A peaceful and loving time for all PBers. You have been a tremendously informative and entertaining mob. Special thanks to William, you’re just the cat’s pyjamas.
Just something to ponder though, William. Isn’t there a particular class of pollie, I’m thinking Ruddock here, for whom Python class insults, are deserved?

Best wishes to all PBers, particularly William. May Santa be exceedingly generous this year.

And commiserations to all those who have, or are about to become Mammon’s latest casualties, especially Gusface and family. Don’t know why the fickle finger always seems to choose this time of year to unleash this scourge, but I hope something good comes from adversity, mate.

An email from Kev:

Dear friend,

Summer is a wonderful time of celebration, rest and recuperation.

For most of us it’s a opportunity to spend time with our families, friends and loved ones.

And it’s a very special time for children, whose experiences of Christmas are among the happiest memories they carry throughout their lives.

I wish you, your family and friends a safe and happy Christmas and New Year.

The New Year will bring new challenges – but I hope you can take the opportunity now to relax and refresh.

Kevin Rudd

My reply:

Hi Mr. Lu Kewen,

Thank you for your good wishes. You have done a great job for this country. keep it up.

I notice PRC is giving Taiwan two pandas called Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan, I hope the two shores can be united once again, Tuan Yuan indeed. Btw: When are we getting our Pandas from PRC?

A very safe and happy Xmas and New Year to you and your family.

Gary Morgan says

"The Rudd Government’s targets have disappointed many Climate Change activists but the significant drop in Greens support (down 4.5% to 6% - the lowest since May 2008) suggests that Australians are worried larger carbon emissions cuts may harm the Australian economy and potentially cost jobs.”

BH I like Therese too, she’s not afraid to go out in empathy and shed a tear or to give a hug where it’s needed.
