The Left is Revolting.

At last, a few parliamentary members of Labors left have come out with concerns over Anti-terrorism laws. Carmen Lawrence is considering crossing the floor and Daryl Melham is voicing real community concern.http://www.theage.com.au/news/national/labor-mp-says-citizens-could-be-terrorised/2005/10/31/1130607175343.html
Sadly, Kimbo was quoted as suggesting he will recommend the legislation to caucus for passing, when he is allowed to see it.
Jesus wept.........

Goodbye Scooter!

Industrial Relations Moneybucket.

Dewey-Horton ,advertising agency, must be licking the lips. With a budget of possibly 100 million of taxpayers funds, they and other pony-tailers look sure of a Harley in the Christmas stocking.

Is there a media organisation that is prepared investigate those who are bringing us the good news? Payments to those who have worked on the advertisements range from double time on the job ,while unsure of what the ad is about, to double pay when you are not actually an actor.

Might not this case be the first to go to The Fair Pay Commission?

Doctor Spin ,need Help.

What a day for government spindoctors.
With the end of democracy,nigh,you get this.......

Phil, tells us that everybody has had enough time to see the Anti-terrorism laws. Thanks, Attorney-general,but wasnt that due to a leak?

John, suggests that it is not "un-Australian", to present the laws on Cup Day. Also, he has concerns about the use of that term so loosley,these days. No comment.

Constitutional Crisis Looming.

The judiciary does not like draft, of anti-terrorism laws. http://www.theage.com.au/news/national/bracks-reconsiders-terror-laws/2005/10/25/1130006095354.html


Eat at joes,suspect, that there is no diet for repression of free speech and civil liberties amongst the population ,as well. Regardless of Labor Premiers, who think it is there god given right to pass that role on to an attourney-general ,who failed so dismally, in his role as Immigration Minister.

Recipe for good tucker soon.

Travel to Kenya,avoid Norway!

Who said the left does not have a sense of humour?

I am proposing that the Department of Foreign Affairs zip up their site.
Mr Downer,this is a great opportunity and template.

Ten actors were paid 6000 dollars for half a days work to spruk the governments new,but ,unpublished,I.R., legislation.

Creating Fear ?

A link to an important academic paper that makes you wonder how necessary ,it is, to give away our civil rights, in the so called "War on Terrorism". Professor Andrew Mack,who was partly responsible for this work,is an expat. A longish, but enlightening read.

A little bit more secular ,might be worthwhile!

Thought that this paper should be widely distributed.

Ride to Work and Protest?

This is what did not happen in Melbourne, on ride to work day.

In fact, "world naked bike ride,2005,London."
A precedent to brighten things up next year? Boring,predictable footy and races. Time to move on a little.

How Sick is this?

Be very alert and alarmed. According to a report from "Guardian Unlimited", armed,rogue dolphins are on the loose...........

Can you believe this stuff ?

Another sad event in Bali.

How sad is it that the Balinese have been hit ,again.

Not a time to deny a dollar to these great people.
My suggestion is, continue to travel there. If you have visited, you will understand the complexity of their situation. Also, the learning, so close to our shores, about death and dying. Still reckon it is relatively safe.

Remember, that it is not just Australians who have died and are injured. Media spin will focus on our own great loss. Totally horrible as it is , catch up on the toll in Iraq. Only time you hear about that, is when you watch S.B.S. news.

Am I still allowed to suggest there may be some connection?
