1. What specifically are your plans in relation to the Federal Government assuming control of the Public Hospitals and how will that be different to what Kevin Rudd is proposing?
2. When are we likely to see an announcement on Federal Funding for the Princes Highway to be made dual carriageway in the same fashion as the announcement on the Pacific Highway made recently?
3. Will you offer Toyota incentives in the same fashion as those handed out to Mitsubishi and Holden to begin production of Hybrid cars like the Prius in Oz?

Have you seen the doco "Who Killed the Electric Car"? What it showed was the companies that make those types of batteries being purchased by oil companies to restrict research and development. Still it made no difference though, Since the introduction of the Prius and the Hybrid Civic, the Batteries are lasting much longer and are getting a lot cheaper to produce. The current model Prius comes with electric plug in and a solar panel for recharging. There is also a company activley buying up second hand Prius's & Civics and refitting them with more modern technology and selling them as - remanufactured. Which is a good thing as in 2011 New York goes to Hybrid only Taxi's, so they will be needing the additional stock!
Toyota have a hybrid Camry in the U.S and it is rumoured that we may get it here. Lexus are increasing their range of Hybrids - for increased performance, and Nissan are licensing Toyota's drivetrain's for use in a vehicle they are producing. Peugot are close to releasing the prototype of their Diesel Hybrid. So with all the R & D going on in the rest of the world, I hope our local industry gets into it sooner rather than later!

2. Why did you have to hold off until elections called until you brought out extra tax cuts. Shouldn't this have been done in last Federal Budget?
3. Why are you so afraid of signing the Kyoto agreement? Is it just 'cos your mate George Bush isn't signing it? Grow some balls and stop being a little puppet!
4. Why are you / your party being so rude about Julia Gillard and other female opposition members?

4. I hadn't noticed that was happening - but I guess pollies are all out scoring points right now - look at the attacks on Amanda Vanstone and others on the Lib side in the past.

You must have a Bill Heffernan filter.
Amanda Vanstone was treated more horribly by her own party than by her political opponents.

Seems like it died suddenly didnt it. From what I've heard he is a rough chance to lose his seat at the upcomimg election ,so it may not be an issue after the election any way.
