QLD Nationals Senator Barnaby Joyce writes:
The New Year has arrived for Parliament and the Bogong moths, so prevalent in Canberra’s Parliament House, catching on fire in lights, setting off alarms and generally disturbing the dignity of proceedings, have finished their migration north; dropping in at my office in their thousands to get the quinella of both Canberra and St George.

Surprisingly enough they only appear in large numbers in St George on our building, very discerning moths indeed. The political migration south must be imminent and, in the process of watching the moths being consumed by the birds from the office window, it is time to consider what is imminent in the year ahead.
The Senate shall be crucial in the coming term as the only mechanism able to force mitigation to the effect of one party rule in Australia. I hope the commitments given by Labor in amendments moved to the Trade Practices Act in the final weeks of Parliament last year are honoured in the current year and also that Telstra is held to its promise not to withdraw CDMA until the Next G network is equivalent or better.
“Most importantly, it will be vital that Labor’s rhetoric on economic management matches, in some fashion, its capacity. The economic world appears to be entering a period of turmoil. Australians have relied upon the Coalition’s management, confidence in whose ability brought higher debt levels because people could rely upon lower interest rates. A change in this fundamental of economics will have catastrophic effect upon the personal wealth of Australians and the economic base of our nation. Australia is geared for stability and the management of instability will be crucial.

Fuel shall drain the budgets of working families because of the complete lack of motivation to proceed with cheaper alternatives such as ethanol for fear of offending the inherent oil company oligopoly. The oil companies are making a fortune out of their control of our total reliance upon the products only they produce and market. The only real competition to the oil companies is the family budget’s inability to pay for fuel so that families can no longer afford to drive.
Finally if Iran provokes a fight with the US then all else, as a problem, will pale into insignificance. Senator Joyce said today.
