Tuesday Feb 5, 2019 #
7 AM
Swimming 40:00 [2] 1.0 km (40:00 / km)
The slowest swim I can remember doing, for no particularly obvious reason (but at least good to do some proper exercise after yesterday). This moved me onto the next stage...
8 AM
Pilates 35:00 [3]
Wasn't quite sure about this given the foot, but in fact it responded better than I expected and I only gave one out of my usual set of exercises a miss. (The foot's improvement continued through the day and it's almost tempting to try running tomorrow, but I'm going to give it at least one more day).
Your usual pre-election public service announcement: anyone who appears in the media claiming to be an ordinary swinging voter who is outraged about a party's policy on something is almost certainly actively involved in a different party. Today's exhibit was one Jon Gaul, who appeared in the Australian to claim that Labor's policy on franking credit refunds was going to send him and families like him into penury (or something like it). It didn't take much sleuthing in Twitter-land to reveal that Mr. Gaul, among other things, is president of the local Liberal branch, was part of the Liberal federal campaign team for every election from 1972 to the late 2000s, and was one of Peter Reith's advisers in the run-up to the 1998 waterfront dispute. (I imagine that Media Watch will run something next week suggesting that the Australian might have cared to disclose one or more of these facts to their readers, which in turn will spark a ferocious News Corp counter-attack on the ABC).
