to take a cacophony of pissed-off tourists during the Rugby World Cup
nope. they'll be characterised as 'whinging tourists'.
-
nope. but... the ETS? maybe that dug the hole, but the mining tax was the nail in the coffin, IMHO.
ah well. i guess his political obituary will read: "John Howard - i knocked the bugger off".
PS, @craig, at least gillard might actually win an election...

you're gonna have to think the mining tax was a biggie. those are some pretty powerful players to be messing with.
will read deborah's link with this hypothesis in mind.

"big cost blowout" usually says two things to me:
1. price-gouging
2. bureaucrats.both of which this council seems to be very, very good at.

serious question: why does a special council-funded group need to stage the carnival?
especially if chris is still wanting to stage it (as suggested by his required $500k)?
all a bit strange really. i say less council, more party.

soooo... anyone believe her?

yeah, it has that ring to it. just weird the way the ComPost reported it, as has been observed.

unless you're spending tax on bullshit.

don't get me wrong, i'n not agin the RWC. just that priorities seem to have gone out the window in the rush to kiss arse on global stage.
it'll be glad-hand-a-rama in the city council for those weeks - and who'll that benefit? not wee ratepaying me.
meanwhile, no shows like the one we saw on cuba street that time - remember? remember?
and no opportunity for robyn to sit and knit like she did last time.

Cuba Street Carnival - CCC.
what?
