Jeez, KRudd must, by now, be thinking that bringing Garrett in was far from the best idea he's ever had ! Garrett's dept personnel must be about as useless as he is, as well. |

Never let it be said that Garrett is useless though... Bloody brilliant band they were... Butt..... Just because someone is a political activist doesn't mean they should be a politician. |
