Australia is a great country with many blessings and freedoms. I will accept that.
Living here is a blessing...
But that means that if we don't improve, what hope is there for other countries?
And it wasnae the Libs that brought about those freedoms. In fact, many were taken away by the legislature... and only occurred when the Labor party was formed. Which, by the way, was only after alot of bloodshed, eg at the Eureka Stockade.
Which is why the Labor party formed. And, if you care to notice, there is no freedom actually protected in unchanging legislation. For example, before the last election the Libs tried to pass legislation that would allow them to mobilise the army at their whim - well, the majority holder in the House of Reps. Thank god that didn't go through.
And you go CW!!

Grave mistake?
Maybe.
But it showed he has alot of heart... and cares. Not just for big business or to impress the USA.
I don't care that Howard has been in for a long time. He is a lying, cheating scumbag who has forgotten where he came from and the benfits he had.
Without Whitlams reforms, even though they don't exists as much now, we have affordable uni (for many... give the libs a chance and there is no bloody way I'd be able to afford to do law) and the bones of medicare. Without this, we become like USA - where people don't go to uni because of the exhorbitant fees... and can't afford healthcare.
I'm sorry, I don't want to live in the uneducated morass of selfish pigs.
I mean, there is one thing being a redneck, but totally another being one that cares nothing for the world around them.
Whitlam was a hero. And I sure as hell wouldn't mind modelling myself after him.

WOW... the Tsunami relief... so impressed. BFD.
What did people do before a whole lot of stars and companies drove them on?
What about the smaller charities? How much time is given to them? What about charities that are screaming for volunteers? Huh?
Does it take a total catastrophe for this selfish world to mobilise???
So many more have died from starvation is Africa. So much flora & fauna is now extinct. The jungle in Brasil is rather quickly turning into scrub. This is exceedingly scary because it supplies 20+% of the world's oxygen!!
So where are you for those very worthwhile causes?
When I can, I volunteer and donate for 10+ charities. I can't donate this year because I'm living off youth allowance and trying to save for a trip to volunteer working with orphaned elephants. But I do volunteer and raise money. I donate blood, and in the years previous to this around half my income went to charities.
So um this "caring"... directly linked to advertising and celebrities. And yet, they still purchase from Monsanto.
It may be out of the Keating book of compliments - but it is true. Howard went to a public school and got free uni, free healthcare etc. He went to Cantubury Boys High. In his day it wasn't a bad school at all. Now... well, let's just say you don't want to send your kids there.
So um... he has forgotten if he's cutting funding and really wanting to get rid of medicare!

That Australian Voters lowest common denominator is: If it is okay for me personally it is okay for the Country!!!!!
Pragmatically both parties pander to individual interest groups.

No he was having a crack at me and my wife.
"My wife just had a diabetes test with her pegnancy there....she's OK!"
This was a statement of fact. What's wrong with that??????????????
I was just recalling the coincidence that Hopium was going there regarding Diabetes.....
If there is something wrong with that statement. Then someone should take there prejudices elsewhere.
Yes i'm pissed off!
