Discount Costa on ETS

New South Wales Labor Treasurer Michael Costa has slammed the Garnaut Report.

And so he would if he based his budget projections on hawking off a bunch of depreciating polluting assets that will be worth even less if the reports recommendations are implemented.

Bummer when your budget balancing efforts don't look so good once emissions trading schemes are implemented.

After all the Great Barrier Reef is in Queensland. Why should he or the good citizens of New South Wales care?

So much for coast to coast Labor harmony.

Thanks Hugh Manatee

Slow Down Micro Penis

The New South Wales Department of Transportation has successfully implemented a speed driving is not cool campaign focussed on young drivers. Featuring people waving their pinkies as a symbol of a small penis, statistics show that the message has hit home.

"Wiggling your pinkie has cut through to that crucial age group of young drivers - they're using it as a way to slow their mates down and stop them acting recklessly on our roads," he said.

Sixty-one per cent of young males surveyed for the research believed the campaign had the power to make them think about their own driving behaviour, he said.

"This campaign is about saving lives - not pride. If it dents a few egos but helps save a life, then it's worth it,"

The reality is that we are all pretty vain.
