I’m holding my breath to see how Rudd and crew are going to deal with the fallout of this. Will they leave it to the courts? Start rolling the worst parts of it back without the courts ordering them to? Revisit the 97 recs and do something useful and respectful with them?

I’m laying bets we’re not going to find out before the election. Not when the worm only went up for Howard when he was spewing his colonialist junk.

I have hopes that if Rudd is elected, the worst of the invasion will be dealt with and the report recos. will be addressed in the spirit in which they were made. If not, expect one hell of a stoush! The people of Maningrida are not going away, nor are their friends.

I’ve tried to make some coherent comment on this post, but I’m just too filled with rage.

I’m just so glad that the latest comments from the Reserve Bank about the economic incompetence of Howard and Costello (as it’s their tax cuts which have overheated the economy and thus necessitated the interest rate hike) might have put the final nail in the coffin of an argument on economic management skills that just might have seen them re-elected.

Rudd and his team had damn well better make sure that a large number of the 97 recommendations get implemented, that’s all.
