Weddings and Politics
Nov. 26th, 2014 11:33 pmLast Sunday was Denny and Melanie's wedding, held at The Woolshed Pub, Docklands. It's a nice location, but the owners are kidding themselves if they seroiusly believe You are transported back in time to the late 1800s and early 1900s. This aside, it was a great day and a golden opportunity to catch up with old friends, not the least Billy Bowe, who runs Australia's leading political commentary side, The Pollbludger.
Whilst Billy is over he'll be spending some time being attentive to the state election which is now into its final days. I have written a longer 'blog piece remembering the boorish and bumbling Ballieu/Napthine governments. As predicted in previous posts, the polls have been narrowing in the last week. Interestingly however, the conservative government is facing a last minute backlash from the Real Estate Institute and the Small Business Council; usually natural allies. As the head of the small business council said: Ever heard of a Liberal Government that had James Packer, Lloyd Williams, shopkeepers and real estate agents actively campaigning against it?.
