Thanks, Juanita: Mike Bailey moves toward Federal Parliament
"The local member Joe Hockey is extremely popular. It is very much an uphill battle, but at the same time it's a challenge and I've never shirked a challenge."
- Mike Bailey on his recent affirmation that he will run for pre-selection in the Federal seat of North Sydney, as reported in the SMH this morning.
Strong words this morning from a man who many* predict will rain down a flood of whoop-ass against the incumbent Liberal member for North Sydney, Joe Hockey.
For many years, Willis & I have been lobbying long and hard for Mike Bailey, current ABC weatherman and part-time commedian, to be installed as a member of Federal parliament with a view toward bunking down at The Lodge. All reports say that Kevin Rudd is stoked to have him on board, but I can't help but perceive an underlying fear from the current leader that Bailey will win public support within a couple of years.
Why do I give so much of a shit?
1. It's my electorate. Yeah!
2. With his meterological skills, Mike Bailey could possibly be the saviour of all mankind.
Aitken has blogged on this this morning. Willis has created this site long ago, in admiration for the talent, poise and amazing ability to articulate the effects of impending stratocumulouses, or even the Southern Oscillation Index. I've just heard on the grapevine that Willis is creating a similar site in anticipation of the Bailey's pre-selection. Watch this space.
Sunny days ahead indeed...all we need now is for Bronwyn Bishop to stand down and make way for Juanita Phillips in the seat of MacKellar for a three-pronged Labor-ABC political assault. Imagine that!
McKew in Bennelong, Bailey in North Sydney and Phillips in Mackellar!!!
It's a great day for Australian politics.
* May only include myself and Willis.

this is the most exciting news since:
1) mon announced her homecoming
2) Max announced she'd take on Little Johnny
Counting down the days!!!
Do you have the same instinct with horses as well?
Hmm... if only I'd taken up that job at the ABC. I could have been next in line to the weatherman's throne!

...and since Whitnall last blogged in 1842.

If you're referring to my amazing ability to break in wild horses, bareback, blindfolded and wearing thongs, then no. But I reckon Juanita's in for a chance for MacKellar.
