Is Mercedes Corby just a cheap money-grubbing slut?

At the risk of Blogocrats descending into Sunday Telegraph material,

I think in the interests of “balance” (whatever that is), I think it’s important to have the occasional piece of “gutter trash” journalism. Personally, at great risk (well, minimal really) to my already tarnished reputation, I am prepared to take on this onerous task.

Much has been written about the Corby family in recent years. When Shappelle was originally arrested all those years ago, I, along with John Howard, and a large majority of Australians felt sorry for the poor sheila.

Since then, it’s unfolded that her brother’s been involved in drug dealing, her father likewise, her sister enjoys the odd bong while her mother, well she’s just a feral old trollop from the back of Bourke.

The lastest chapter in the Corby saga has Merecedes (I mean who in their right mind names their kid after a fricken car for Christ’s sake?) get her kit off for some morbid “men’s magazine”.

Is there no end to the depths this family will sink to in order to maintain some presence in the local media?

I mean, it really does give them a lot of credibility doesn’t it?

Mercedes Corby, the jailed druggies’ answer to Danni Minogue. What next? A guest appearance on Big Brother?

May the Lord have mercy on us all.

Govt reveals climate change initiatives

Kevin Rudd will unveil the carbon pollution reduction scheme in Canberra today, committing Australia to cuts in greenhouse gas emissions of between 5 and 25 per cent by 2020.

The Prime Minister will outline how the Government plans to invest the billions it will earn from the auctioning of emission permits, expected to return about $20 per tonne of carbon. The $1.4 billion compensation will be drawn from these funds.

THE Government hopes to “soften the blow” of its emissions trading scheme with a $1.4 billion compensation package over five years that will assist businesses and community organisations to invest in energy-efficiency projects and low-emission technologies.
