Australian News Gone Crazy

There's a rich vein of 'crazy' in the Oz news this last 2 weeks or so...
1. First there's the chk chk boom girl Clare Weberloff who is all over youtube with her false eyewitness account of a nightclub shooting incident in Sydney. She may just land a short term TV gig as a result with the perception she's a 'natural' for the camera!!

2. The PMs wife has shed 25kgs this year and window shots at the local gym confirm the personal trainers key role... who gives a .......! Is this all because she's an independently wealthy female spouse of a male political leader and we still can't quite pidgeonhole her and especially her fashion sense [puffy sleeves rule]

3. Chef Gordon Ramsay keeps saying 'isn't this Australia, come on...' in relation to every deeper hole he digs attempting to match our natural sense of wry humour with his ridiculous verbal banter... don't call our Tracy an 'ugly pig'!! But why are parents who took their kids to a 'live' cooking demo surprised when Gordon drops the 'f' word.... I refuse to call it the 'f' bomb sorry!!

4. Home & Away starlet Jodie Gordon is home alone after a wierd cocaine induced night out with a bikie gangster [who are all the rage in NSW at the moment]. Try explaining that to your millionaire business tycoon live in partner when he gets back from QLD? But why is it front page news ? Is Aung San Sui Kyi still in strife.... wouldn't know.....

5. Shayda Bastani is depicted in the DT as a 23 yr old fashion model girlfriend to known drug gangster and Lambourghini driving shooting victim Fadi Ibrahim and when responding she corrects the newspaper that she's 22....

6. The Govern General is overheard remarking that new Defence Personnel, Matreial and Science Minister Greg Combet has terrible handwriting... hope the SAS get paid when he signs the cheques this month then....

7. Federal Greens Senator Bob Brown is being chased by the logging industry for costs associated with a failed legal challenge... I was listening to him talk about how he might come up with $250,000 in three weeks to avoid losing his Senate seat when declared bankrupt. Alongside the $10 cheques in the mail I was thinking 'come on Dick Smith, ring up and kick in the whole ammount...'
Well, the newspapers say he is.... he's a great bloke and I suspect won't like the publicity but would accept it only to express total support for Brown who is a great advocate for the environment!!
8. Indian students are being routinely subjected to violence in Melbourne and its spreading with street protests overnight here in Sydney after two incidents at Harris Park. It's gained international coverage and is evidence of the hard work ahead for us as a nation in being truly multi-cultural!

9. But relax because Teri Hatcher is here to premiere a new film so all is good with the world as 'they're real, and they're spectacular!!

10. Australia has also qualified for the Football World Cup next year in South Africa [at this stage] by not conceding any goals so far... hence the poor crowd expected in Sydney v Bahrain this week.....
