i thought jim wilson was the weeknight sports presenter at the time!! who did weekend sports for melbourne at that time?

Jim Wilson was the weekend sports reader at the time - Tim then left to go coach St.Kilda which then resulted in Jim Wilson taking the weekday gig.

@SenhorBundy . Youd have to be joking. This woman has normal ear lobes and a normal nose. Check our Julia's ear lobes - you could land a Boeing 747 on hers..

@AMVideos What's funnier is that Howard when he was in the opposition was dead against the GST. Just goes to show you how fucked politics is. It's not about doing what is best for the country... but what wins you votes.

Is that a 37-year old Julia Gillard @0:40?

Good to see the "Grand Old Man from Bomber Land" on Seven - Tim Watson.

Cheers, Tim!

Thanks for this video :) I remember all of the fury surrounding the GST at the time Howard implemented it, but now we are much better off with it - funny that :)
