I would expect the plane to be decorated in only the best. Would need to see the wallpaper before I would be passing judgment. Is it that the wallpaper was too expensive?

But the new government will still have to buy out the lucrative new lifetime contracts the catering and grounds staff were signed up to the day before the election.

Howard and Jeanette should be frisked and passed through a metal detector when they leave the house by the harbour. You know, just in case there’s a bit of silverware that accidentally fell into their pockets.

But Rudd should make it very clear that he will not take possession of Kirribilli when elected. He should do it real soon. I've been looking for silk wallpaper online that costs upwards of $1500 a roll and had no luck. Is there some sort of commission attached to the purchase for the decorator? Howard and Jeanette should be frisked and passed through a metal detector when they leave the house by the harbour. You know, just in case there's a bit of silverware that accidentally fell into their pockets. Armed guards should be installed on that wine cellar. The Grange collection should be auctioned off for a children's charity. Thanks for the linko, Gummo.

Suitably sterile town for him. That Howard both p*ssed on Canberra and snubbed the Lodge, as some of his first prime ministerial acts, showed that he's not a traditionalist/conservative, but an opportunist.

And do we know if Rudd is planning to take up residency in de Lodge? Howard has set a precedent that anyone can now follow with relative impunity. Given the choice where would you live? Kirribilli House, or entombed in the austere funk of a cold, Canberran deco number? $9,000 a roll, silk wallpaper does sound a little extravagant, in poor taste, (not to mention, kitsch). London to a brick, that's what George has. Notice Ruddy’s not too upset about a refit to the Prime Ministerial jet. And do we know if Rudd is planning to take up residency in de Lodge?
