Letter to Christine Milne - Are the Greens The Insurgents?
Dear Senator, I know what you are trying to say to me accompanied by Sarah Hanson Young, the tearful little girl but please do not distort the truth in the process. These people spent hundreds of thousands to smugglers who, if they were refugees as you say, could have used that money in attempts to turn their situation around so please do not pull at my heart strings for them when nothing is done for the old guys sleeping rough in the doorways west of the city and the Vietnam vet behind the gardeners shed covered in newspapers from the cold in the West Tce cemetery at 2 am.
I belonged s few years ago to a small team of volunteers who roam the area with an offduty policewoman between 2am and 4 am on Sunday mornings with hot pie floaters and soup. We were the Ghost Busters. Allow me to address the problem of those already in the country in detention.
Stop the politicking for a change. It does you and Greens no credit to ignore the very simple fact that it is the children with our children to provide the harmony of integration. Start calling the “Detention Centers”, Hostels. Separate the men over 16 from the rest. Open the gates during the day. Call for volunteers as Mentors, pay them to accompany mothers with children and all unaccompanied children under the age of 16 to the local school. Make time for it to be set up with harmony the key purpose. Issue the TPV’s to them.
That leaves males above 16 who are in the majority who should be put to small Council work teams or fruit harvest etc. to qualify for their food shelter etc. Get them all to name themselves for new identity TPV’s. That will fix the destruction of real identity. What’s in a name anyway? Not much evidently, if the original one has been thrown away for it would be an impossible task for the AFP. Hardly an issue methinks, for what would we do if they came from the moon?
You must as a Senator play a part as custodian of the Nation with a duty to be seen as protecting it above all else. It is way above your Party politics. There are Afghanis. Yet our own have been dying to protect the Afghanis from themselves. What does that make you and the Greens? There is enough written to describe first hand observation of the ways of life and death in regions of Islamia. Would you know for sure if they were running away from it or bringing it with them? It would be prudent to be hard nosed about it when an Imam in Sydney one time described Australian women by the way they dress as “covered meat”
With Best Wishes and Good Luck

That's very interesting Caroline. I have made several wall clock faces and body from sassafras and there are some very beautiful pieces of figured acacia in some of the desk box tops and for your info I have made 2 working spinning wheels for local enthusiasts that have sheep. I have a turning blank of huon 10 inches long and 5 inches square but I dont have a lathe. One day I will cut it for a desk box. The chest that is in the photo is 4ft long and the bow top lid is made up from planks of camphor laurel as are the 4 trays inside.
Thanks for sharing that Caroline
Dr Caroline Wright said:While we are waiting for the outcome of Q and A featuring Sarah Hansen Young representing Senator Milne, Bob, I thought that I would let you know that I was fortunate enough to purchase a Huon Pine Spinning Wheel which stands about 2 1/2 foot high. I was intending to use it for spinning the sheep's wool when we had them but it is used purely for decorative purposes now. This was about 12 years ago and it only cost me $50.
We also have a Blackwood table and we have some Blackwood trees growing on our property as they are native to the area. The best way to describe them is that they seem to be a cross between a Wattle Tree and and Eucalyptus Tree but are said to be of the Acacia Family.
We also have a Sassafras Clock and Barometer which is the most beautifully grained and coloured wood I have ever seen.
When I have time I may take some photographs to show you the different woods if you are interested.
Kind regards
Caroline

Do you think that I got a good buy with my spinning wheel then? It is interesting as the wheel is at right angles to the foot pedal which I have never seen before.
Kind regards

Yes you surely did. One of mine made $150, the other was a gift. The angle of the foot pedal is unusual as the pedal is usually in line with the crank that is connected to the axle of the wheel like the foot plate of an early sewing machine

The blackwood is most likely acacia melanoxylon

I took some more photographs today and will send them one day at a time. I hope you will enjoy the different woods from Tasmania and the furniture made them.
Kind regards to you Bob

Thanks Caroline. If you find some veneer of sassafras and/or Tasmanian Musk in your travels I think the musk is one of the rosewoods, I would appreciate a note. I'll photograph the jewel chest to show what I can do with it. Stay happy Caroline

Would love to see the photographs Bob and what a lovely sentiment 'Stay happy .....'. Will keep an eye out for those woods you asked about. Thanks Alan for the help with the pictures. I will print it out and follow your recipe to the letter tomorrow.
Fond regards to you both

Bob as Q and A is tomorrow night I thought that I would include the Sassafras and Blackwood pieces following Alan's Recipe.
This is a close-up of our Dining Room Suite and I am hoping you can tell me the type of wood it is made from:
Thank you Alan your recipe worked like a charm and so easy......
Fond regards

That is a very beautiful table Caroline. The framing of the top looks like walnut but if the photo is color tru the center could be one of the rosewoods. If indeed the table was made in Tassie then the photo appears to suggest musk. If you go to my profile, you will find a set of photos of some of my work. The upright jewel chest is there and the door panels are musk framed in cedar hence my suggestion regarding the table. Its quite a rare royal setting you have. The occasional table looks like cedar.
My question for Sarah Hanson Young has been sent but I dont think they will present it.
"You were weeping for the 15 yr old Afghani boy behind the wire. Yet he is from an area where fathers sell little girls for marriage and kill them for family honor when they run away. Would you weep for the old man sheltering under the newspapers behind the gardeners shed at the West Tce Cemetery at 2 am?"
Would you like to send it also, Caroline?
Strive to be happy - it is later than we think
