Politicians inventing new english

[tomca]

Just watching the news and Peter Garrett is going to announce a "proposed decision" about the Traveston Dam.

Other gems I remember are Rob Borbidge and "front ending jobs" and Krudds "Alkipop" tax.

There have to be more I haven't noticed

The oILS u SED TO BE MY FAVOURITE BAND WHEN i WAS 16.

bIRD NOISES, HEAD INJURIES,SELF titled midnight oil first album ..

10 TO 1 was good But after that... diesel and dust and all that crap.

Garret took a definite political role in his music , but it seems he is more interested in the politics than the music.....a true goose, who dissapointed his fans.

cheers

Definately political english for "it may or may not be the case" depending on many various reasons, and who screams the loudest, because theres an election next year.

"non core promise" would have to be the best. Followed closely by " I Didn't lie, I misspoke "

It's not a new tax, it is a levy.
