Quote of the day: "102.1 Harmison to Ponting, no run, wide and Ponting has to stretch to reach it. "Harmison couldn't hit an elephant from 20 paces?" was Jeff Thomson's assessment earlier. Guess it depends on the size of the elephant." - baggygreen.com

NSW power broking is gonna Costa!

Sydney: Phillip Higginson, former long term chairman of the stateowned electricity company Transgrid, has accused NSW Treasurer Michael Costa of sacking him because he didn't appoint the friend of a "union mate."

He claims Mr Costa, "held a gun to my head, and said, I'll sack you if you don't put Bernie's mate on the board." Bernie being Bernie Riordan, NSW Labor president.

Costa has vehermently undermined these allegations holding a gun to this reporters head and saying, "C'Mon, I'm a reasonable man. Surely appointing mates to boards isn't so bad, Howard did it to Telstra. Hell, how else would Alexander Downer still have a job if he wasn't so friendly. At least I'm not friendly with 9 year old girls."


It isn't the rampaging xenophobic appointments that concerns us, but the lack of snakes in diplomatic persuasion.

Quintin Tarintino is rumoured to have offered Costa a deal in his next film production, 'I'm Quintin Tarintino so watch the damn film'.
Costa expresses his sympathies for Jackson - What an actor!


"He's a natural gangster. Holds a gun well, shaves his head, can he yell? Move over Samuel L Jackson we have a new hardboy in town."

Samuel L Jackson held a teary eyed press announcement only to ask, "Was it because of my golfing outfit?"

Yes Samuel it was.
