I've got about 4 squillion kiwi fruit that have set.
My orange tree has just flowered and set, but the fruit still on it aren't ripe.
Up to our second set of Tomato plants (the first took off then got frosted)

All our tomatoes before this curren crop died from the fost aswell. Our onions have bulbs that won't open because the sun isn't out long enough. Birds keep coming and taking our strawberries none of the bird scarers seem to work.Still waiting for our ubundent potato crop to flower.

Also, the peaches and apples won't ripen, the lemon should be fruiting by now and the bloody dog knocked the flowers off the passionfruit vine.

Yeah, not only desal as well, but plain 'ol land degradation due to overstocking/inappropriate stocking. Not exactly a popular topic, but face it, we've right royally fucked the land over with sheep and cattle for over a hundred years. There were warnings back in the early 1900s that this wasn't a good idea. Only now has the 'plight' of the farmers being brought into popular media. Every government will throw $$ to compensate the farmers, and that'll tide things over until we have a few more wet years, when people will again forget about it. But it's a cycle that's not sustainable. To reduce stocking of sheep and cattle is 'unthinkable' - yes, in the short term it would fuck our economy.. It's in our psyche that Australia is proud of our sheep and cattle. But in the long term we're fucked if we don't start looking to farming alternatives. There's just not enough incentive for landholders to do so, same with trying to be more environmentally friendly (E.g. through irrigation practices). I remember talking to some farmers out western NSW, and they were saying how their initial outlay was massive to install infrastructure to reduce water consumption.... But they're glad they did it, as it has saved them money and is environmentally friendly. But not everyone has the $$ to invest in the infrastructure - anyone in government listening?
While I'm ranting, is the desal plant in NSW actually viable in the long-term?? It made no sense to me - I can't understand why they don't just invest in recycling water, as surely this would be more environmentally friendly than desal!??! C'mon, we don't need pristine fucking water to keep our gardens alive!!!!!!!
Ok I'm done.

The currency always dips a bit when there's a change of government. I wouldn't bee too worried about that
Consumer confidence is already dropping as people are shitting themselves at the new labour gov; thats why people are flogging off their shares.
Libs are fucked, if turnbull is leader ill be voting for a third party in the future. Why be leader of a conservatice party and not be conservative?

So who would you pick Dan, that holier than thou foul mouthed fuckwit, the guy who wore fishnet stockings, or cry baby Costello ?
well downer's dropped out, Costello's gone and I would go for Abbott because he runs the same agenda as Howard. Downer will never amount to leader because of what you mentioned, even though he is great at what he does; in my studies Ive come across numerous speeches and publications by him on international relations and they are spot on, even though people like you wouldn't know. The future of the economy was in Costello, he was the architect behind Ir reforms and knows his shit, I wanted him. Now im with Nelson because he's more conservative and Turnbull, who is a knob.
If the next election were between Krudd boy and Turbull Id vote a 3rd party, most probably one nation or something.

One Nation? To make sure your vote is actually worth something? haha You should just write "FUCK ALL YOU PINKOS" on the slip...it'll do about as much good.

It's the "two party" crap that makes votes "worthless".
I voted independent to support the system as I see that it should be. Used my preferences to ensure that the lesser of the two evils got in.

You realise that Nelson used to be a member of the Labor Party, and that he owned a business with Simon Crean's brother, don't you? He also supported the teaching of Intelligent Design in schools and single-handedly fucked the teritary education system. What a great leader. By the next Federal election, Turnbull will either be the leader, or an independent.

I hope Turnbull leaves the Liberals. He seems to be more liberal than most of the Labor party members. What a waste.

It's a tragedy, I tells ya. Someone who supports a republic, stem cell research and equal rights for gay couples, and he's on the conservative side? It doesn't make sense!
