Not relaxed or comfortable!

When John Howard came to power, he promised a more relaxed society,where people would be able to watch the cricket,without concern ,for what is happening in the world. The "war on drugs" and "terrorism", has proved a disaster ,let alone his close connection with George 11. He,at least, is happy to watch the cricket while one of his citizens swings. See
http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2005/11/28/1133026368248.html

His ambivalence on capital punishment,suggests he will be happy to introduce it here,soon. We should pull out of a 'free trade agreement', with Singapore, until they are prepared to consider basic civil rights.

Bombs to hit, near Katherine.

As part of an agreement with the U.S., we have become a bombing range for B52's. How good is that? The deal is, we subserviently allow a bit of dumping of goods from Guam and then they turn around and go home. The Japanese did a little bit of this stuff during the second world war.

Now it gets little media and Senator Hill, Defense Minister ,does not need to even explain. Depleted uranium,who cares? Beautiful country destroyed and a few stealth bombers,no doubt. Isn't it great to live in an independent,democratic country? http://www.smh.com.au/news/national/us-to-drop-live-bombs-on-nt-in-training/2005/11/18/1132016981630.html

Your comment denied for, " Questionable Comment".

One of my most favoured sites is Barista.http://dox.media2.org/barista/
The sad fact is, i seem to be completely, banned from making a comment on that site. What have i said and what have i done? A link to Kurt Vonnegut, interview,with P. Adams is available on a previous post,below. And, well worth a listen.

Go now, John Howard.

Time to move on. Allow a new generation to have their say. If we have to accept Costello as P.M., let's go for it. Suspect, he is not a racist. But ,may be wrong. Listen below to Fraser, (and Gough), who points the finger at the junior minister and why things have moved the way they have. http://www.abc.net.au/rn/talks/lnl/s1502861.htm

Who might be coming to town?

Can we just hope that Donald Rumsfeld will be treated with more respect than Scott Parkin seehttp://www.theadvertiser.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,5936,17175164%255E910,00.html

Pasta Cooked.

From nowhere but ,Waco,Texas could such a thing happen.
See below for details,if you missed this sad story. One gone, but more baptised.Praise the lord!

Go , Jon Stanhope!

Howard, where was,yah?

A significant event in Australian racing history and you thought it more important to keep, all students in school, while you thumpted and raved.

While, Peter McGauran sniffed and sneezed and Costello looked more glumb than, I have ever seen. Never mix the big race with discipline . Some people may get to see you on parliamentary, Question time. Scary.

Glad, that Makybe Diva has been retired.
Hope she gets the boy she chooses.

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.

Goodbye Scooter!

On your bike, scooter, but try ..... http://news.google.com.au/news?q=SCOOTER+LIBBY&hl=en&lr=&sa=N&tab=nn&oi=newsr

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?

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.

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

No Bitch with Actors Equity, but......

After listening to Jon Faine on Auntys',local. Melbourne.

Revealed but not much covered.
Ten actors were paid 6000 dollars for half a days work to spruk the governments new,but ,unpublished,I.R., legislation.

An interesting legal Question.

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.
