Who would've thunk it?

At the risk of prompting an invasion of Australia

For anyone who always wanted to go to Australia, now is the time...

When a rockstar becomes a politician

Midnight Oil's Peter Garrett is no longer the lead singer of this iconic 80's band. He is now Australia's current Labor (Democrat) Environment Minister. The band is getting back together for a gig to raise money for the victims of the recent fires. Trouble is, some of his biggest hits aren't quite on (Labor Party ) message .

Take "US Forces":

Us forces give the nod, its a setback for your country
Bombs and trenches all in rows, bombs and threats still ask for more
Divided world the cia, who controls the issue
You leave us with no time to talk, you can write your assessment

Sing me songs of no denying, seems to me too many trying
Waiting for the next big thing

Will you know it when you see it, high risk children dogs of war
Now market movements call the shots, business deals in parking lots
Waiting for the meat of tomorrow

Sing me songs...

Everyone is too stoned to start emission
People too scared to go to prison
Were unable to make decision
Political party line dont cross that floor
Lt. ron hubbard cant save your life
Superboy takes a plutonium wife
In the shadow of ban the bomb we live

Sing me songs...

Yes, it is true...

Before you all ask me first thing Monday morning after watching Hugh Jackman sing and dance his way through the Oscars, it is fact, all 10 million Australian men can indeed sing show tunes and dance like Fred Astaire. (Crocodile Dundee and Steve Irwin were outliers). I have to go now and get ready for my matinee performance.

A step in the right direction

One thirsty koala

Australia melting

For my US cousins who may not have heard, the greatest bushfire disaster unfolded this week in Australia...

The Government has just approved a $950 payment to all families as a part of Australia's economic stimulus package. There is now a move to redirect those funds to the victims of the fire. Sounds good to me.
