No Joke.
Without adding to the carry on here and especially with all that is outdated beat-up in the story... including "Governor-General has thrown up another constitutional issue"... It all proves one thing. Predominantly. We are all human. This is a story about humanity. Our humanity. An Australian story that will go down in our national history. A record in history seen as a population struggling. Struggling to contrast itself. There is the greed. The comfort zone. The indifference that contributes if not generates to the wild jokes and apathy. Forgotten in this story is a fair go. May our humanity win. http://www.miacat.com/ Posted by miacat, Friday, 27 August 2010 10:01:25 PM

So,here we have an Indian pontificating on Australian politics.From my experience of them Indians are known for being arrogant and intrusive.
I suggest to you,sir, that you return to your country of origin and pontifcate on politics there to your heart's content.And I'm sure that your law qualifications,such as they are,would be more use in your country than here.We already have a gross over supply of parasites in that field.

Manorina,
While I respect your right to express an opinion, I do not think the author's racial background has anything to do with his right to an opinion. I would hope that all author's opinions are judged on their merit. Australians come from all backgrounds Posted by Chris Lewis, Saturday, 28 August 2010 9:16:05 AM

Manorina, I think Dilan has returned to his country .... he's an Australian.
Maybe you should return to your planet? Posted by jjplug, Saturday, 28 August 2010 10:41:45 AM

You cannot find democracy, integrity or intelligence in any party, to join a party, you have to sign a promise that you will agree with the decisions of the majority. Those people who have pride in their integrity and are intelligent, will not join, so those who join, can be regarded as unreliable and not very honest. It is remarkable and interesting that apart from that pig farmer in the 1980's, who had " the recession we had to have", the rest of the PM's and treasurers since 1970's - the end of a great economic period, have been all lawyers, and - without looking, I don't doubt that the group making up the parliamentarly ministery, are all of that type, lawyers, solicitors, and such, with no person even representing the wage or small business section and if there is, they have to obey the dictates of the pledge they make on joining. Forget the idea that our politicians are the idol of integrity, intelligence, decency or even common sence, they obviously don't have it, if they did, the economy would not still be sitting at the bottom of the dunny.

The big talkfests are scams for unemployable people. What grandplan has been delivered so far that lifts us from poverty across the globe?
No, and none will be whilst ever these talkfests are riddled with the supporters of the status quo.
The best anconym to demonstrate the true value of these organisations is our very own CHOGM, which, when translated, stands for:
Chaps Holidaying On Goverment Money.
And so it goes with World Banks, UNs, and so on.
