"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing"

Inscription to honour Donald Mackay, Griffith NSW.

I suspect, the "good men" now ponder the next property purchase, to add to their property portfolio...and hurl abuse across the floor, before all meeting at the friendly bar downstairs.

I think I agree with Dick Smith! And have to add, in a place in history where we know many many occupations will soon disappear!

Why do we need so many new people. And why can't we act even just as leading by example leadership to change carved in stone attitudes?

And remove the reason and impoverished circumstances that caused these folk to leave their beloved homeland, for a strange new world, where neither they, their customs or culture fit!

And just not that hard!

Look, we need to remove the artificial barriers to the peaceful development of nuclear energy. Generally and ours in particular!

Namely walk away safe, molten salt thorium energy. And after making certain the chosen template hasn't got any bugs in it. Set about mass producing portable reactors for an energy starved world. And replacing our coal fired power stations, as they become obsolete!

Over there, and just reprioritizing our foreign aid dollars, build some, deionization dialysis desalination plants powered by the companion portable reactor, to reverse desertification and render, region by region, reversal of climate change, desertification. Via the provision of endlessly reliable, cost effective potable water!

Affordable energy is key! And needs some high profile exposure and examination to prevent the troglytes and quislings in our midst, from killing it stillborn?

And, dare I say, for no better reason than hidebound, selfish, vested, self interest? YA CAN'T EAT COAL TONY!

The new energy policy is interesting, inasmuch as it now seems to allow open slather on NEW TECHNOLOGY?

With the words. More affordable, more reliable, seeming to be the only condition or handbrake. And if that's the case? Very, very clever Malcolm?

An too clever by 'alf for British born, British bulldog to the back teeth, Tiny mind Tony?

'Ow do you like, right proper henglish? Hey Tone?

Lunch menu today, in the parliament cafe?

Deep fried coal served with liberal doses of CO2 and lightly seasoned with arsenic, mercury, lead, cadmium and uranium. With a side salad of negative gearing. [123? Tha's a healthy appetite you have there, Andrew!] And steamed by the dozen, capital gains tax subsidies. Bon appetite.

Coffee and cognac will be served with cigars in the, smoking room! SMOKING ROOM!, Help where's the flaming extinguisher. Tony, aren't you a volunteer fire chief?

Sorry about the smoke!

Coal has some disadvantages, when slightly burned?

And Family trusts will be served with olive's and her-miner's, tax havens.

Who knows what they're thinking out there in mugsville? And more importantly who cares!

Of interest? The local taxidermists is reporting booming business as is the mushroom fertilizer supplier! Pity about the lights? Still nobody need bother turning them off!? Yes Mr Nobody, I was addressing you!

No body! Help, mummy! Not that mummy! Yipe!

Don't turn the beam off, I'm only halfway down!

More tea? Alan B.

hehehe $1.98

Hehehe, Your maths is atrocious nick! Need to divide $1.98 by 100 If you would represent a reported median of 1.98 cents PKH!

Of interest is the fact that there are just three kinds of Mathematicians? Those that can count and those who can't?

You'll have a nice day now y'hear.
