Well, I reckon he is alright then... what do you think.?
But he may have felt the earth move under his feet.
oh i think so as the red dot in New Plymouth, the quake is probably about half way between the bit the juts out "Opunake" 60km southwest of there so more or less sort of, half way between there and wellington
he'd have felt it, however he is on other side of a quite high range from it

Abbott has promised he'll remove the Carbon Tax and the resources tax.
Once it's up, he never will.
Bit like When Labor said they'd remove the GST and didn't.
Typical politicians, making promises they just can't keep.

eumundibabe: i like and reindorse this tax what do you think?
you support the carbon TAX to what purpose
to pay more money for everything
to do nothing to reduce carbon out put
coal is bad coal is evil, its so bad that we one of the least carbon producing country's had the biggest tax in the world dumped on us
and yet the can't sell enough coal to non carbon tax country's
carbon tax is here so this goverment could stay in power
nothing more nothing less,, nothing to do with carbon out put
which helps trees grow faster
JUST three months after Federal MPs were given a $44,000 pay rise, they are getting another $5550 boost.
The 3 per cent pay rise quietly handed down this week, which is almost double the annual inflation rate, is being derided by one senior figure as the "pollies' own carbon tax compo".
Backbenchers will get an extra $106 a week, taking their salary to $190,550. Combined with the pay rise awarded in March, it means they will receive $49,640 - almost $1000 a week - more than they were this time last year.
Prime Minister Julia Gillard's salary increases by $14,430 to $495,430.
The PM is earning $129,000 - almost $2500 a week - more than she did a year ago.
Opposition Leader Tony Abbott gets $10,000 extra to take his salary to $352,517.
He is more than $91,000 better off than a year ago. Treasurer Wayne Swan's wage rises by more than $11,000 to $390,627 - and is up $100,000 over 12 months.

It's about the PM of our country got more money, fancy a PM getting less money than the Boss of a sporting code?The 3 per cent pay rise quietly handed down this week, which is almost double the annual inflation rate, is being derided by one senior figure as the "pollies' own carbon tax compo".

In 2009, AFL Boss Andrew Demetriou earned $1.8 million and it's even higher now.
So our PM's salary is like a 1/4 of the AFL's head honcho and I'm sure Julia has to do a lot more to earn her keep in Parliament?

Merriweather: I do agree with you Carl... I think this is the ultimate sting . Its clear that the earth does whatever it likes and feels like, and although with our fumes pouring into the air, Its negliable compared to what the earth can do if it wants... Its just that the earth, can likely restore itself and we have just not gotten the science to work out how it does it... much like they say, there is a plant here on earth to fix all the body's ailments, its just that we have not worked out the which, how and in what amounts...
but I do trust nature, far more than I trust Julia or any other spouting pollie trying to find a way to cover their losses..
but I do trust nature, far more than I trust Julia or any other spouting pollie trying to find a way to cover their losses..
it seems it also is an aussie tradition......to bag ....demean and critize who ever is in power...........yet none ever admits they voted for them......
just seems that alot of people like to sit back and point fingers .......how many of people are doing political science?
I am conservative and voted that way all my life,and when labor got voted in I knew we would pay for it as usual as history tells us as they simply cannot handle money never have been able to,not being clever as I have always followed politics very closely,and I watch the wheels go round and round.
I think the worst thing that happened to the Labor Party was when K Rudd nearly caused his own party to lose the Fed Election,what a dangerous piece of work he is.
They say hell hath no fury like a woman scorned ...that was before K.Rudd appeared on the scene' for goodness sake many a Leader has been rolled, that is politics'but you do not see them going around plotting, scheming and trying to bring down their own party,that is why he is so hated and despised by his peers.
He had to be removed as he was fast putting this Country into near bankruptcy he had delusions of grandeur and would listen to no one, all this was widely reported on yet Joe public seemed blind and unaware of this.
