Is it time to press the Emergency Button?

Miss Eagle has pressed the big red "Call Nurse" button on the wall in the Hospital Recovery Room, where the Body Politic was taken after the recent Federal Election.
She thinks that the Body Politic has been wrongly assessed by the Triage Kevin07 Krew who have not assessed the Body Politic's case as URGENT. But she disagrees.

She KNOWS it is a urgent case.

Trouble is the best Doctor in the Hospital is the guy who has (apparently) decided that the case is not urgent enough to warrant immediate intervention.
In that case, who do you appeal to?
How can one get a Second Opinion - when we have just sacked the last Doctor?

The Body Politic is in the Recovery Room

After a dramatic piece of surgery, Doctor Kevin has given the Body Politic a Heart and Brain Transplant. Obviously after such drastic surgery, the patient will be in the Recovery Room for some time.This blog promises to monitor the progress of the Patient. I shall report progress with great interest.

However, in view of the optimistic early signs of a quick recovery by the Patient, the former title of the "Body Politic is Ill" has been amended, and the new title is "The Body Politic is in the Recovery Room".

For technical reasons, the link (url) remains unaltered, so all previously installed "pointers" will continue to function.

Zoe sent a "Get Well Soon" message, (in the comments). But she also sent this graphic - a symbolic "thumbs up" image.
Miss Eagle sent a message too. She said: "You mightn't be euphoric but I am. Free at last, free at last. A Howard free political world."

The Sunrise of Kevin 07

Well, you waited for it - and here it is.

After 11 and a half years of darkness, with barely a glimmer of the "Light on the Hill", here is the Sunrise of Kevin 07.It might not be quite what you longed for all those years. It is smaller, smarter, certainly has a more radiant smile than the previous false dawns you envisaged (the Beazley, Crean, Beazley, Latham models). And this one comes with a Chinese sound-track, as a bonus tape.

Just wait ands see if those clouds burn off, or turn into a self-destructive thunderstorm. Lets hope not.

POST-SCRIPT: My friend Auriel sent me this photo. I am sure she won't mind me posting it. Dedicated Canberran "True Believers" obviously celebrating the Rudd Labor Victory on Saturday evening.

Well done to them and all of the other "Warriors for Democracy" whose dedication helped remove the "Government of Shame" on 24 November 2007.
