Insiders

Anything worth watching on it?

$250M rebate to TV networks.

Fran Kelly - on Rann election and scandalous affair (yawn)

Piers Akerman - stingy PM doesn't buy raffle ticket, seller sacked from voluntary Lion's Club ticket sale job. (Looks like Bolt's already watched Insiders.)

David Marr (reading the newspaper through Kelly's rundown) -Stephen Conroy's skiing with Kerry Stokes was a freebie. What's a daypass at "Beaver Creek", somewhere in Colorado/Canada worth? (Only about $A100 - which is under the three hundred dollar limit.)
Piers points out that the membership of Stokes to the ski club allows them to get discounts on many of the parts and packages of skiing in this place. So Conroy is benefiting from this larger, more expensive membership. Marr and Cassidy move on...

Your Shout
ANU Drama students would rather vote for a liar (Rudd), even though he's full of spin and he has let them down, than vote for someone who is mad (Abbott). Citing amongst other things Workchoices, and when they cited that I wondered if any of them had actually had jobs, they weren't young, perhaps professional students. Only one, the woman, said she'd possibly change and vote for the coalition, in a two party preferred situation.... but she'll probably vote Green and therefore vote Labor again.

Insulation. Condemned by everyone. From full on, to completely off. What about all those people who lost their jobs? Well, I beg to differ, the jobs weren't permanent anyway and would have ended eventually. They'd be unemployed. Especially the little kids on the roof handing the insulation into the roof to the people inside.

Someone shut Marr up, he keeps interrupting Piers.
