GO THE OILS

Yeah, that's a much better photo of him than these days, wandering around with the gag tied on permanently.

I do wonder if he regrets joining the labor party. I guess only time will tell.

Turncoat.

The labour party pretty much goes against all of what the Oils stood for as far as the environment etc is concerned. Personally I would prefer to see him back behind the mic stand on a stage at a concert not at a press release. He is slowly losing my respect that's for sure.

nice way to bail out of an eternity of banging out the 'golden oldies' on the eternal RSL tour.

He can afford to go back to music in a few years, he's got what they all want - the super-payout-deal that comes with a term in office.


Rudd will fix everything (after hes cleans up from the NYE party), him and Mrs Rudd are just so 'smiley and happy', they love us all. In 2008, everything will be so fantastic. low interest, troops home, lower unemployment, fixed wage/conditions and the unions are going to be giving away free soup to the poor. We are blessed.
