Celebrations All Round.
What a day for Victoria! Hymie and Twitter are gone.
Celebratory drinks all round at country pubs tonight.
Steve Bracks and John Thwaites are gone because they weren't up the job. They fell at the first real hurdle they faced in government - water!
They'll cite all kinds of reasons for the sudden departure but in circumstances like this there's no substitute for failure. It's no coincidence that Twitter followed Hymie out the door.
We still have to put up with a Labor government but there's reason to believe John Brumby (who should succeed Bracks as premier) will be more sympathetic to country Victoria.
With luck the river redgum country will escape the fate of being locked up in national parks, the Great Divide pipeline will be shelved and Victoria will get a new dam.

Doesn't Steve Bracks love himself?
He actually said this today:
"Look I've been a great contributor for a long time and I think my contribution's probably been the best the Labor Party's ever had in the state," he said.
"I know I'm boasting, it's not usually the thing to do that, but I think the evidence would show that."

Actually, I've been busy in the virtual world of Second Life preparing a simulation of an alpine grazing property with loads of information. You'll be able to ride a horse across The Bogongs and see in pretty realistic terms how The Greens have manipulated and lied about grazing. If you do some exploring of Second Life you'll get the idea. I will be back to updating Bundarrah Days before too long.
