I think that you have identified the problem. The electors have been shown so many examples of corruption in its many forms that they see all politicians are corrupt. Not being corrupt themselves, the electors have no faith in whatever politicians say.

I knew there would be an "out". Section 8(1) of the RDA 8 Exceptions (1) This Part does not apply to, or in relation to the application of, special measures to which paragraph 4 of Article 1 of the Convention applies except measures in relation to which subsection 10(1) applies by virtue of subsection 10(3). Can anyone translate that gobble-de-gook?

The Dark Side of the Moon is the eighth studio album by the English progressive rock band Pink Floyd, released on 1 March 1973 by Capitol Records in the United States, and on 16 March 1973 by Harvest Records in the United Kingdom. That's 53 years ago.

I was trying to make the point that there are children in Australia from many different cultures. Why can't they join together to selebrate childhood nationally. Actually such a day is descriminatory since it excludes any child who is not Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander.

Haven't we gown up enough to have learned that promises made by politicians are hot air at best? Perhaps the running of teh country should be tuned over to the Public Service and politicians can continue to have their debating societies in the houses of parliament. Even used car salespersons are trusted more than politicians.

Bugger! Now "Yankee Go Home" is not PC.

Didn't someone once promise that Australia would not have a Goods and Servies Tax?

By the way, tomorrow, 4th of August is National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children's Day. Anyone know the date of Non-National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children's Day? Have I jst posted something racist?

And no other indigenous population wherever on the planet has no cultural reference to the Moon? Australia is creating a culture of lunar tics.

Changing the conditions for negative gearing in a small economy like Australia's would not endanger the global economic system in the way unprovoked attacks on the economy of another country have done.

Memes like that one make one realise that one is getting old.

I was speaking to my local Member the other day. (I vote for another Party.) We spoke of Pauline and ON. He said that ON had no practical policies, which is something that many people are coming to consider to be correct. He said that he doubted if ON's results in the next election would mirror the current polling figures. The unfortunte thing is that I don't beleive his Party nor mine have a decent set of policies that would benefit all Australians. It seems to me that we have become terribly divided in our wants. Perhaps it's because we have been infected with the 'me first, last and every otehr time' virus.

Basically I'm saying STOP IT!

The written word in situations like forums can be misinterpreted becasue it lacks the nuances of voice. I caould type that Joe Blowe is a silly bugger. Can you tell from those words if I was being humourous or accusory? I think that we previously decided that it one wanted to make a statement then it should be accomanied by a reference to the source behind it. If that is done then I think it lessens the chance of persoanl attacks.

There's a bit of aggro going on between a couple of members. Hardly the sort of thing that makes for a pleasant place to come and interact with others. The aggro does not carry any of the discussion to a suitable resolve. In fact, it diminishes respect for those creating th aggro, and respecting others should be a foundational rule for we members. Let's make it the custom here to play the ball, not the man.
