Just quickly.
Sophie Love Love Love.
What can I say? The first paragraph for starters.
Hallmark cards would be made with someone of you poetic talent.
Your declaration of love love love for Australia, its ah people. And the land, the birds, the trees, the platypus playing the aromatic cicadas even.
I feel a sudden need for a couple of Maxalon

It certainly is a great pity we dont
have strong leaders with a vision.

sophie love. I could comment on every paragraph of your blurb from experience but know that would be a monumental waste of my time.
Your obvious despise of the 'still shackled in our convict past' Australian community is based on what experience? Learned it all in a book?

You, like myself obviously have spent many years living and learning from our aboriginal friends.

Been on the gas fields of a coal mine to see how the methane is removed from underground and safely disposed of? Me too.

Our shameful attitude toward to our 'most important asian neighbors seeking asylum. We have an abundance...of what?

Anyway in good old Aussie spirit, shackled hubby and I, the gay guys next door, a couple of our aboriginal and Islander work mates are going to head out for a bbq, game of cricket and a few home brews..of course.

In future if you want to make so many bold damning statements, get your fact right so that you dont look like an idiot.
