G’day Agmates, here is episode 1 (and may be the last) of Agmate TV.
Today -- The Victorian Fires Royal commission ‘Whitewash’ … NSW Landholders revolt… Turnbull & Asylum Seekers … Peter Garrett drowned by dodgy data … Rudd ‘Fair Work’ rough justice for our kids … Obama Book … Agmates E-traders.
Headlines:
- THE Victorian bushfires royal commission began its formal proceedings yesterday amid sharp criticism that victims had been denied adequate representation.
- A MEETING of angry landowners tonight at the Memorial Hall in the country town of Yass outside Canberra will throw the spotlight on another crisis for the beleaguered NSW Labor Government.
- MALCOLM Turnbull’s aggressive attack on the Rudd Government’s asylum policy has failed to boost his party’s stocks or his own flagging popularity, and a majority of Australians reject the Opposition Leader’s contention that tougher immigration laws would reduce asylum-seeker arrivals.
- Peter Garrett, on ABC1′s Lateline on April 6, has sea levels rising way over his head, aided and abetted by Tony Jones
- THE OECD has warned that the rollback of the Howard government’s Work Choices industrial relations laws may result in higher youth unemployment, as Kevin Rudd conceded for the first time that recession in Australia was inevitable.
Currently reading:
A “political biography that concentrates on the senator’s core values,” according to the Chicago Tribune.
The New York Times noted that “Mr. Obama’s new book, ‘The Audacity of Hope’ … is much more of a political document. Portions of the volume read like outtakes from a stump speech, and the bulk of it is devoted to laying out Mr. Obama’s policy positions on a host of issues, from education to health care to the war in Iraq”.
The Chicago Tribune credits the large crowds that gathered at book signings with influencing Obama’s decision to run for president.
Former presidential candidate Gary Hart describes the book as Obama’s “thesis submission” for the U.S. presidency: “It presents a man of relative youth yet maturity, a wise observer of the human condition, a figure who possesses perseverance and writing skills that have flashes of grandeur.”
Reviewer Michael Tomasky writes that it does not contain “boldly innovative policy prescriptions that will lead the Democrats out of their wilderness,” but does show Obama’s potential to “construct a new politics that is progressive but grounded in civic traditions that speak to a wider range of Americans.”

G’day Agmates,
Thank you all for your suggestions, I’ve taken them onboard. Must say I’m surprised at the interest.
Looks like I’d better get busy making some improvements and publishing episode 2. *DONT_KNOW*

I thought that a pencil behind the ear, and a pair of white braces would have looked sensational. Oh, and look straight at the camera !

Fair go Ross, he was talking off the top of his head and showed a lot of polish – buggered if I could do that

Steve,
Bring on more agmates TV. Saves me having to read all the articles to get up to date. Might want to use a little less polish on the old head because of the reflection.
