Sheep have always played a very important role in my family going back as far back as records go, I grew up being mesmerised by my mothers spinning wheel and how it took fleece from a sheep's back and before my eyes turned it in to jumper ready yarn. Mum was always a big believer in wool not just because it was an organic self replacing product but because of the incredible qaulity of the natural product for insulation and clothing. Dad on the other hand was a sheep grazier due to the multi-tasking abilities of sheep, their wool growing, meat production and land clearing talents kept them in favour right up untill the drought of the early 1990's. It was this same belief in the woolly critter which allowed Australia to ride on the sheeps back for well over a century and encourage the developement of the dry interior.

I have an overwhelming suspicion that Julia Gillard's latest tax and spend policy is not all that wise and is a smoke screen for some agenda. Scrapping several failed policies and increasing the Medicare Levy to get the $5Billion they need to rebuild Queensland after the floods (and sure up the State that really isn't a fan of her Government) is being sold to the electorate as an emotional measure that is necessary for the victims of the disaster.

Kevin Rudd is not the first PM from Queensland...or is he the first to stay in elected government.
Andrew Fisher was born in Scotland in August 1862, but shifted to Queensland and married Gympie's Margaret Fisher on December 31, 1901.
Fisher represented the seat of Gympie (later called Wide Bay) from 1893 to 1915.
