The Kony nonsense, and the great election outcome in Queensland

An email to 2GB’s Glenn Wheeler

G’day Glenn,

You’re absolutely right about the strange bloke behind the Kony video. His so-called charity has one of the worst ratings of all the charities for the percentage of donated funds which actually goes towards charitable activities. Also, did you see the story about how the people who are victims of Kony are offended by the campaign, as they say it is dreadful to try and make Kony famous and put his name on t-shirts etc, regardless of the cause.

Anyway, on to other matters, it’s great to see a good man like Campbell Newman lead a good group of conservatives to power in Queensland. Labor and the Greens suffered strong swings against them, so I think there is a message in this for the federal government and their amazing taxes on air and dirt. State issues were obviously the big issue, but it’s pretty clear that the mining states don’t appreciate these big taxes.

Have a great week Glenn…and good luck to your Sharks tonight…I see they’re in the lead now.

Regards,
