2007

As done at the beginning of 2006, here is a list of 'events' that I hope are realised in the new year.

~ The defeat of John Howard at the federal election

~ The impeachment and subsequent incarceration of George W. Bush

~ Serious moves taken to save the environment and reverse climate change

~ The announcement of a new Kate Bush album

~ The arrival of a freezing cold winter in Brisbane - one requiring overcoats!

~ Constant rain

~ The banning of jocks from nightclubs...and all public spaces

~ A collective realisation that the Queen Street Mall is a place impossible in which to "let loose"

~ The release of David Hicks and dismantling of Guantanamo Bay

~ The announcement from Al Gore of another go

~ The surprise dumping of faeces on Dick Cheney during a public engagement

~ The revival of the Australian accent

~ The discovering of many a cure

~ The collapse of Channel Ten (let's try again)
