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

Spoil sports the lot of you. You should be ashamed. I was going to send you my scone recipe so that you could make them yourselves but I am having second and third thoughts.

I'll check with Alan but I think we have 9 recipes for scones between us that have been offered in similar "what ARE they doing" circumstances. The "going to" appears in 6 of those times so there was no need to change the lock on the shed door. Merely to have complete silence after the watch reported the "Trojans were approaching the outer defenses". Except of course when the scones actually appeared and were directed to the slot in the wall. Not enough to gain entry however according to the postern.

Sounds more like a prison than a Men's Shed!! Do you get day release there and an exercise hour? It is apparent that you have Internet access and guards ....

Fond regards

It looks really comfortable and cosy Alan. Please share with us the origin of the ?Egyptian art work above the lap-top. It looks like the real deal.

Fond regards

Lovely set up Al - specially the mirrored wall - is that for you to be able to reflect on what to post ?

Yes she sure is! Even wants to get in the shed by bribing the postern with only a recipe for scones

God you're nosey, Caroline. LOL

Hahaha.

Hey, Al, Looks very nice. Makes me think I had better go and get cracking of throwing some hoarded junk out as well. It is so hard to get to do it though!!!!!

Bro' al,

Nice setup, it would be very comfortable, only there's not enough room for my gear in an area that size.

Full size tower, 24" LED monitor, large format scanner, wireless keyboard and mouse, 7 terabytes of external hard discs and amplified speakers. Wireless printer has to sit on filing cabinet.

I only use a laptop for travelling, now being replaced by a Win 7 12.7" tablet.

I tort I saw a papyrus - I did, I did. (apologies to Tweetie Bird, Looney Tunes Cartoons)

Stamped and signed bottom LH cnr.

See, we're not all bogans that can't spell in NSW.

I remember this! The story of the guy who picked up a bird and took her home to meet his mother. She was weighing out the dog food. His brother took a fancy to the bird and had a bit of trouble getting his dried asp off from round his neck to give to her as a token of his desire as she was about to sit on the toot to let the handmaiden fix her hair. I've been to Egypt, it goes on all the time.

No Bro' al,

I didn't think you were skiting, as I said your setup looks nice and comfy. My computer setup is also a work station, CAD design and plaything (music).

As far as the papyrus, it was purchased for us by my dear departed mother, on a trip into Egypt.

She didn't do things by 'arf, and was a stickler for authenticity. She was also very much into Egyptology, and had a particular interest in the Roman influences around the Mediterranean - Tunisia, Turkey and even did Hadrian's Wall in the UK.

Cheers

It was a nice thought to include the photograph Alan (even though you and by association Moi though my interest in the Egyptian Painting) have paid the price of some of some very funny one-liners etc.

Was worth the good laugh I got out it all.

By the way Alan has your digit healed yet as that was the last time we have these funny one-liners etc.

Bob .... Do NOT give up your day job in the Men's Shed to become an art critic as you may be seen by some to be too literal in your interpretations.

Fond regards

Yep! That's to one to which I was referring. Glad it is healing. If your 'little philosopher' of a grandson means that being 'good healers' is that you heal people through laughter or through promoting humourous dialogue from others then I would have to agree with him. That is one clever kid!

Fond regards
