Put down the champagne bottle and weigh in!
He he he. Well mate, it's a great feeling! Clan Byron are floating on air, this morning. A Latham win would have been disastrous for us, since he intended to target areas of particular relevance to our family, like private schools and forest industries. There's so many positive aspects to this win I haven't been able to digest them all, yet. Things like the collapse of the Australian Democrats, that the Greens picked up only 2% of the voters who bailed from that party, the success of the new Christian party, Family First, that the government may have control of the Senate with the help of FF, that the Tasmanian timber workers took the lead in destroying Labor... the good news just keeps on coming. Some of the financial promises made to voters by the Howard government during the campaign were absolutely disgraceful and will now have to be paid for but as we've seen a zillion times on FR you can never have it all, can you? It's a beautiful morning, and school holidays finish today, so I'm going to take the kids fishing and reflect on what can be accomplished over the next four years now the threat of living under Labor's yoke is gone. And I am confident that you guys will be similarly celebrating in three weeks as the Dems are sent back to their ratholes with their tails between their legs. All the best mate, and thanks for thinking of us Downunder.
