Tasmania has provided yet another example of what happens when you let the lunatics run the asylum for too long. This time, it has run out of electricity to the point of needing 200 temporary diesel generators – at a start up cost of $44 million, plus operating costs of $22 million per month.

‘I do have an understanding of what Tony Abbott is going through it is a very difficult thing you are very bruised and battered’, she said.
‘You don’t realise how intellectually and physically exhausted you are until you stop’.
You can always trust the Sydney Morning Herald to come up with this kind of garbage. I’ll spare you the frustration of reading the entire stink and take you straight to the A-grade journalism provided:
