Cabpoll 07
With yesterday's announcement of the Federal election date I can now inform readers of my involvement supplying Cabpoll passenger surveys for ninemsn.com.au. These can be found on the ninemsn election minisite.
This project will be my main focus for the next six weeks and due to the work load involved regular Cablog posts will be curtailed somewhat. However special passenger encounters will still appear here as they occur, the most recent being posted yesterday.
Needless to say this job is a great opportunity which I intend grabbing with both hands, feet, brain, cabs, computers, tools, whatever. Therefore I trust my regular readers will understand this commitment and I thank you in advance for continued support.
During the election campaign Cabpoll will appear bi-weekly, comprising text reports with the occasional multimedia feature. So head on over for my first Cabpoll up today.



I think I'll pass on the Election stuff, thanks.. We get no real choice anyway -either way, we get a boring, conservative, wealthy, Christian, white, male POLITICIAN -Rudd is just Howard, younger with more hair and more God -and like everyone I know, I'll be avoiding the boring blow-by-blow, minute by minute, Election "updates" -whether on the 'net, or TV, or print..

Australia had the option of someone interesting for PM last time but woosed out. For that, y'all deserve another 4 years of Howard.

Best of luck with the poll over the next six weeks Adrian.
It will be interesting to hear (and see) the views of the man on the street from the cab confessional...

Hey, well done Adrian! Hope it all goes well.
I'm with Bill Steamshovel - please dear God give us another 4 more years of Howard and not the drooling hypocrite with the open ended twisties packet at the strip club.
$20K tax free threshold! Maximum 40c tax bracket. Mate you'd have rocks in your head to vote for the QLD jibberer when you've got cash in hand and the best employment rate this country has for 30 plus years.
C'mon Johnny, one more term for the little battler!
