Our National priorities were clear on the 6 pm Channel Nine News in Melbourne last night. As Robert Merkel posted at Larvatus Prodeo about the drafting Ben Cousins It’s more important than the CPRS…
Nine had Cousins as the lead story, followed by Chopper Read, with the 5% CPRS a lame third. In fact the climate change report had a graphic of a $6 rise for household costs, timeframe unspecified, plus the National Press Club protest, but little of substance about the targets. Have to get your priorities right.
It is little wonder that the Rudd government is prepared to squib the global warming challenge with yesterday's lame effort, when it receives such shallow media treatment.
Footnote: When we lived in Western Australia, Ben Cousins was one of the three lead stories almost every night on the ABC News. We were convinced that it stood for 'About Ben Cousins'. It seems this has followed us to Melbourne.

What's a CPRS?
Chopper Read second and the CPRS third? We could play Chopper at CHB and put the CPRS on the bench.
It seems that the Rudd government needs to spend more time on important issues - like Ben Cousins!
Ben Cousin's is a legend - I liked the fact that he spoke up for the public and did the video on himself. Obviously there is lots of National interest. I think its great!
We gotta get our priorities right.
I think we have got our priorites perfectly right.
