According to the ABC site "here," Tim Flannery has been voted Australian of the year. I have to say, while a little disappointed that the guys from WA that found the bacteria causing stomach ulcers did not get it, I am very pleased that Tim did, if only to imagine the look on J. Ho's face when he announced it!
I mean, here is one of the world's great environmental sceptics, awarding the prize to someone who has built a name for himself as an outspoken greenie. Someone who has built an enviable reputation for speaking out about the dangers caused by the way we are treating our world. Someone that has written books about the problems we have created with our wasteful way of life.
Ah, poor J. Ho! You have to deal with a newly reinvigorated opposition, your best buddy in the USA is fighting a hostile Congress, and so many of your pet ideologies and projects are all falling over while you watch. If it was not a refreshing change, I would be tempted to feel sorry for you.
Nah, who am I kidding? If you cannot get rid of "wretched Ruddock" in a cabinet reshuffle, you deserve everything you get. Unless of course, Ruddock has something on J. Ho that he is using to blackmail him with. We could only wish!!!
