How many sick bags did they deliver?

How many sick bags did they deliver?

Listening to the deafening sound of pats on the back, compliments bordering upon a formal union, makes you sick and this is all happening within our Australian Parliament today 2009-11-26 . Evidently this ritual, takes place annually, prior to our festival of “The Great Nosh-and- Over Spending”. While many will wondering of course, where the money will be come from to spend!

Again for many, recent days have been gut wrenching, the years of… Continue

Dear Mr Rudd

Dear Mr Rudd

Thank-you for showing your true colours and your vision for Australia before the next election. It allows me to plan ahead.

I am thinking of moving to Fiji. I figure if I have to live in a dictator state, then I think I will go where the cost of living will be cheaper, the air cleaner, I will be respected and valued for providing food to my fellow country men, and where I will be able to choose where and with whom I birth.

I live in rural Australia. My husband and I… Continue

IPCC Exposed

I have sent the following letter to The Australian this morning. Let's see if it is published.

The implications of fraud and manipulation contained in the hacked emails from the Climate Research Unit of the University of East Anglia are staggering. Of particular interest is the alleged message from senior IPCC scientist Kevin Trenberth to others in the inner circle including leading IPCC contributing scientists, Michael Mann (Penn State Uni) and Phil Jones (UEA), which includes the… Continue

Why does being a parent make your heart ache so much?

This has been a tough week - the first of my 'babies' leaving Grade 12 and stepping out into the world on the brink of adulthood. Why when you always knew it was inevitable does it hit you like a wave - There's nothing more I can do, or for that matter undo ?. It's been a reflective week, I'm very proud of my beautiful, capable, clever daughter but goodness where did those years go? Why didn't I heed the warnings of so many before me, "The time will go so fast, make sure you enjoy… Continue

Refugee Visas and confusion on victims.

Malcolm Turnbull is copping some flack on his statement that he wants to change policy on refugees illegally entering the country by reintroducing temporary protection visas. Unlike those entering by legal channels, boat people would receive a "safe haven" visa would face having to return home to their country of origin if conditions there are deemed as safe. They would be able to work, but would not have family reunion rights and would not be able to claim welfare payments.

Some random thoughts for Weekend contemplation

I think part of a best friends' job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die.

*. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realise you're wrong.

*.. I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger.

*. There is great need for a sarcasm font.

*. How the hell are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?

*. Was learning cursive really necessary?

*. I can't remember the last time I wasn't at least kind… Continue

Copenhagen Climate Change Treaty Summit

Hi all, new to this caper so I guess I'll learn how this works in time.

Anyone out there know anything about the Copenhagen treaty to be discussed at the summit next month. The treaty is a dangerous document and although a formal treaty now looks not likely to occur, a politically binding agreement is being considered and hoped for at the very least which will be just as damaging as this will allow a treaty to be signed at a later date. For those who oppose the treaty, and the… Continue

More scares about Copenhagen and what is REALLY hidden under the climate change scam!

Janet Albrechtsen has a blog in the Australian, and this link was passed onto me today. Whether you have seen it or not, I urge you to copy and send it to everyone. It encompasses Moncktons speech but puts an interesting twist on the message and it sounds to me like the Lima Declaration on steriods!

Here is the link: JANET ALBRECHTSON… Continue
