Tony Abbot has just demonstrated his continued misrepresenting of the nature of the office of Prime Minster, with the following quote: " Opposition Leader Tony Abbott called for the to be brought forward to August 3 from September 14 because of Labor's "paralysis''. He said voters should decide the PM, not the faceless men of the Labor Party."The truth is that the public NEVER vote in a PM, the majority party vote for their PM. It is the way it works.

    I have rarely voted for a person. I've always looked at the party as a whole anyway. The PM has always just been a figurehead, elected by the party to be the "face" of the party.

    sorry but in our american style of today, people foolishly look at the leaders first. look at the first statement of our new old pm i can''t let TA in as pm it's not the policies they target it's the person.

    Yes, Abbott has totally neglected to mention that politicians are fundamentally elected as local representatives. Currently, there is much emphasis on “the President Prime Minister” rather than keeping people informed and represented. It’s a shame that elections are based on our geographical constituency rather than on our demographics, as it means our politicians are chasing votes the wrong way.

Churchill Rd Raclette - Delendale Creamery For this one I have one clear instruction before we begin. Pick up the cheese, step away from the cheese-board, and get thee to the kitchen. This is a cheese that needs - possibly even demands - some heat. Now I know the kitchen is a bit of a foreign place for the cheese-lover - I mean what use is there of fry-pans or cook-pots? Bear with me though, this journey is worth it. Before we begin, I'm going to take you on a small flight of fancy. Imagine, if you will, that an honest English Cheddar decided to take a holiday on the Continent, and found itself in Switzerland. Maybe seeking some great waterfall to encounter a perilous foe, it instead meets a sweet and charming Emmental. Romance blossoms, the Cheddar settles - foe forgotten, and the two have a child. Roll forward a dozen years and a few more, and this is Raclette. The bitter-edged teenager child - probably miffed that Cheddar failed to find and defeat that foe. Raclette is a cheese...
