HOW about this way to liven up
the election campaign?
Perhaps Mr Rudd and Mr Abbott
should take a leaf out of the book
of Norwegian Prime Minister Jens
Stoltenberg.
Stoltenberg’s Labour Party
posted on social media yesterday
a series of “candid camera
moments” taken from an Oslo
taxi, showing what happened
when passengers realised the
driver was the country’s leader.
His concept was to discern
voters’ genuine opinions, “and if
there’s one place where people
really say what they think about
most things it’s in the taxi.”
Labour Party spokeswoman Pia
Gulbrandsen said an advertising
firm had helped set up the stunt.
She said most of the passengers
hailed Stoltenberg’s cab, while
others “were told that they would
be picked up” but not by whom.
Norway’s parliamentary election
is set for 09 September.
Fancy daily stair-climb exercise?
If so, you might like to buy your
very own guaranteed exercise-inducing
high rise apartment
in the new Spanish Intempo
skyscraper in the Spanish seaside
resort of Benidorm.
Originally designed for 20 floors,
the developers decided to boost
this to include 47 floors with 269
homes to make it Benidorm’s
highest building at 650 feet.
However somehow the design
omitted what would seem to
be for any tall building a highly
significant feature - namely an
elevator shaft.
Spanish newspaper El Pais
reports that the architects on the
project resigned in May 2012,
with the project representing a
“long story of incompetence.”
Intempo’s developer, which
has already sold about a third of
the apartments to international
buyers, and the bank that
provided the loan, both went
bankrupt in 2009.
The project has so far cost more
than €100 million.
