Boat shoes, nup but find Dunlop Volleys are awesome for grip and comfort.

I refer not to militarism but the use of terrorism powers to do wholesale arrests of peaceful protesters for daring to support action in Palestine. This is a gross abuse of powers.

Police should be called a service not force, they are here to serve society. The use of black uniforms in some states is silly, its hot and sends the wrong image. The use of body cams in all interactions should be mandatory and a offense of office not to use it. Most critical incidents magically fail to get camera vision, this leads to a lack of trust in policing. Police should never be in charge of investigating police, its a massive conflict of interest. Police should never be allowed to hide their identity , they quite often do when policing protests, public order etc, this allows thuggish behaviour and zero accountability. Only speacial ops police should have such needs and then must wear clearly visible badge numbers. We are not like the usa or uk yet but its a slippery slope some right wing pollies would love to follow.

I will wear crocs or well fiited sandals on a boat or at home. Thongs are shit except for the g string type but thats another thing...

OME, At that price buy 10 pairs of thongs for any sudden blowouts...the shoes are a ripp off.

AKA...Organ donors.

Putanna and Xi would be very happy. Justifys anything they do if the US can do it, so can they.

Hey..thats my old Charger miss that beast, but not the dodgy rear traction.

We don't get refugees in Port Stephens, we call em terrorists. Commonly seen sinking boats on the ramp or riding jet skis. If they don't return they are called bait.

15 years to plug the bores? What a joke.

Here in OZ, the Lams system is a winner. Basically a sensible power to weight ratio, tat ,eams a large selection of motorcycles are approved if under 47hp and up to 210kg approx. Max capacity is 650cc. This allows a large range of small to medium size bikes that are adequate even to tour on and certainly enough to ride for many years and not get bored or suddenly find yourself moving up to a bike that far exceeds your ability. My Twin has just bought a new Truimph speed 400 for his partner for her brithday. Lovely bike and small enough for a small framed lady but big enough for fun and safe open road riding. Triumph have just released a recall for the timing chain and stopped sales until the bike is retrofitted. So it will be delivered with the change next week. We had to wait for a red tanked one, red is faster...

As a identical twin- No, the eyes and prints are different.

I am never amazed at how gullible people can be

Nev, Your going to be 68, celebrate that and enjoy dyslexia.

Burial at sea for me, straight into a shark would be best. Spend the bucks on a boat ride and party.

Yes , you can imagine a substitute teacher been harassed and losing it then going postal. It was hard enough teaching without also playing security.

From the same nut job NRA that wants teachers to be armed in class.

Goats are excellent mowers and tasty when the jobs done.

Did you get the mower going?

GON, Not all Muslims are violent or fundamentalist, just like not all Jews are Zionists. The vast majority of violent crime is still by white anglo Aussies. Not all Aussies are racist, but you seem to be happy to be one.

Its "Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance". Riding is incidental.

,,,Have you fully cleaned the plug and combustion chamber by running the starter without the plug in? Have you cleaned the carburettor? Use brakeclean as it does not effect plastic or rubber seals. New clean fuel? Try these first. Good luck

I suggest serious changes to the law. If you have a unlicensed gun or parts- mandatory sentences of minimum 3 years and no parole.. Each extra gun or firing pin mechanism, another year. Possession of ammunition without a license 1 year Modify a weapon to fire faster, a minimum 3 years on top. Leave open access to a gun or ammo, that's registered... I year mandatory. Use of firearm in any violent crime, 10 years on top of any sentence related to the crime. Sale or transfer of weapon to a non licenced person...3 years minimum. Provision of a weapon that is used in any crime 5 years minimum. Plus be considered as part of joint criminal enterprise IE you get charged just like the shooter. Manufacture of gun parts including Printed parts....3 years. Shoot at someone even to scare/hurt them is defined as attempted murder, not the bullshit "I didn't mean to kill just- hurt or scare" defence that means most crims get off lightly. Thus a mandatory 15 years, if they die 25 years minimum. No parole. To threaten someone with a gun even a fake should be 10 years. The idea that someone must have intent to kill be proven, is a bullshit argument- it's a weapon to kill and has no other purpose. Shoot anyone when out "legally" hunting, you have failed duty of care and should be charged with negligent manslaughter with firearm, a minimum 10 years, no parole. If they live 5 years minimum. Sounds tough, not really just realistic. Fail to properly meet all licence conditions, instant loss of licence for 10 years , plus and relevant sentence. Maximum of 2 firearms unless a farmer with proven needs who can have four. Trespass on a property to go shooting, that's a minimum 3 years, no parole. All sentences related to guns must be served consecutively not concurrent. No ability for the court to discount because " he's a good bloke etc". If people can't be responsible then they are a criminal and should be treated as such. Use of a firearm in domestic violence -additional 20 years if death or 10 if they survive, that's on top of other sentences. Access to guns and a licence must be at the government's discretion, not a right.

I expect for the LNP and other more right wing parties, the answer would be never. I bet they got Howard to say it, thus any flack they can dodge with a strawman.

Agreed, given the billions ASIO get in funding, the millions should be a great investment. The stumbling block has been the states , gun lobby and previous long term LNP government. I note today John Howard was bitching about changing the gun laws is a distraction from the labour failures- just more bullshit and bluster from the LNP. No one without a genuine need should have access to a gun, bar inside a gun club and the gun stays at the club.
