my thought exactly chris. it appears key is channelling howard. but spookily, he's also channelling latham.
the ladder of opportunity was a feature of lathams (unsuccessful) putsch.
in another issue: someone at work pointed out to me that the policy of loading bureaucracy onto successful private programmes has the tendency to stifle them with 'deliverables' and onerous reporting. lest we forget the 1990s.

i think irony may well be lost on "the calfskin glove"

span,
by blogs do you mean like this bastion of conservatism?

yip. pretty extreme stuff those blogs.

i think trying to get 400,000 aboriginal people to run the entire infrastructure by themselves might be a bit of a stretch.
likely they'd have to import a bunch of honkies to do all the 'important stuff'.
OTOH, they'd be seriously wealthy now the state doesn't own all their assets.

actually, that's a very interesting blurt about the non-comments stuff.
i haven't seen the cyfswatch site, but that line is not all that common. in fact, it's usually only seen in the right-wing blogsphere of the sir humpties or whale oil variety.
i think our cyfswatchers may well actually be the loonies of which codders speaks.

i believe the best description for our favourite anti-blogger hack is:
"hatchet in a calfskin glove"

raffe, you don't have to loose two lands of traffic to get your trams.

in melbourne on thursday...
can.hardly.frikkin.wait.
i'm going to eat a 350g, 5-week-aged-on-the-bone, black angus rump steak from la luna bistro in carlton north. beef so tender you can eat it with a teaspoon.
then there's gelato from gelobar on northern lygon street, vietnamese spring rolls from richmond, and BBQ duck from a hole in the wall on elizabeth street.
i want to see at least one gig at the empress of india, eat at least one steak sandwich from the Napier in fitzroy, and buy sushi on swanson st.
if there's time, a coffee from flinders lane would be delightful, popping into a game at the MCG after buying some new shirts on bridge road would be nice, and visiting the state library would bring back pleasant memories (i undercovered some great and rare correspondence relating to the gifting of the first piece of land back to it's aboriginal owners. only 1971 but the letters were like hen's teeth).
oh, and who can forget the factory outlets on smith street (the far end, past all the drunks and junkies), the tiny greek 'patisseries' in st kilda, and rifling thru incredible 2nd hand book stores surrounding melbourne uni.
i might even find time to sleep.

woot!

[sighs, utters slight chuckle]

it would be great if someone could find a list of all the songs written by cartman in his christian band phase.
i remember one being, "going down on my knees for jesus", or summin.
not to mention the obvious worship of S&M. someone mentioned john safran in another chain, did anyone see his rant about catholic churches? like the set of a marilyn mason video apparently. v.v.funny.
