  1. I can’t stand that gentlemen David Speers on and on about politics.. And i have to agree with you. I wonder if he has a bed beside the studio. All he cares and matters just political.. wonder if he has something decent to talk about.

    I wouldn’t no how old he must be but im only guesing he has to be a young chap at about 32 years of age or wouldn’t be suprise a young chap.

    skynews really need to show contents.. Not just the political.. I personal discrase the winner of the australian nation (julia guillard) she doesnt do me sweet bugger all.. I would had love to see Kevin rudd at least one time back. I dont think julia will win next term elections… from there.. she is over and bring the new faces.

    But getting back to the guy David Speers he goes on and on about political and how happy he seems to talk about it non stop. alittle wanna be the best news one im sure. I am not a huge fan. I just flick the channel and watch discovery channel instead.

  5. a lot of has beens and wannabees speculating on things is not news. maybe they could cover the phone hacking and bribery scandals by their boss non stop instead

  7. “This is hour 57 of our live, round-the-clock coverage outside The Lodge. Remember, by the way, to tune in at 8:00 for highlights of today’s vigil, including when the garbage man came and when Tim put the cat out … possibly because it had challenged Julia, we don’t know.

    Of course, there’s no way to see into The Lodge without some kind of infrared heat-sensitive camera. So, let’s turn it on!

    Now, this technology is new to me, but … I’m pretty sure that’s Julia in the oven, rotating slowly. Her body temperature has risen to over 400 degrees – she’s literally stewing in her own juices!

    Now, here are some results from the Sky News poll: 95% of the people believe Julia is done for. Of course, this is just a television poll which is not legally binding – unless Lachlan and Gina have their way. And we all pray they will…”
