Ho Ho Ho(ward)
Sydney’s getting a Christmas present from John Howard, in the form of a $1m government contribution to the Sydney Christmas Parade. Woopity do!!! Mr Howard’s justification for the contribution is that the parade “aims to promote unity and goodwill amongst the people of Sydney”. Also no doubt handy is the fact that it is held on November 25, which seems to be right around the time when the federal election will be held.
Complete waste of taxpayers money if you ask me. I expect Mr Howard is hoping that as well as promoting unity and goodwill, the parade also promotes a spirit of gratitude to his government.
The barrel of pork keeps rolling on ….

Dr Tavakoli should not even be operating on people who are having surgery due to psychological problems as they are not usually good candidates for surgery. The thing with Dr Tavakoli is he doesnt really care about that, he’ll do anything to get in the press as he wants to be Australias next Dr 90210. He even has a publicist! From personal experience ive found his reputation proceeds him, i was fooled into thinking he was a good doctor a couple of years ago from media coverage but its just good work on his publicists part. His facial surgery is substandard and many people have has revisions after he’s opearted on them.

So the only way to avoid getting a present from him is to ignore the christmas parade - I’ll stay in the rainforest and avoid his largesse a little longer.

He’d be better off giving less fortunate kids a bike and their families some Christmas Hampers and some money than spending it on a parade, he may even get some more votes from these people if he gave a shit.
