I think the event that set the course for 21st century Australia occurred in the High Court in 1996. The High Court established what they call the “Kable Principle”. Everyone has ignored it, the High Court refuses to let it be enforced, but it will not go away. It virtually declared illegal nearly fifty years of meddling by Parliaments with courts. It struck down one Act. One Statute, made by the Parliament of New South Wales and the grounds were that it was unconstitutional. Lawyers hate the decision, because it kills their God. They have refused to admit it is law. It actually kills atheism, and secular government. It marks the start of the restoration. It came down in John Howard’s first year.

All Kevin Rudd has to do to bring Australia into an unbridled prosperity, is apply that decision. Justice Mary Gaudron said: Were they free to abolish their courts, the autochthonous expedient, more precisely, the provisions of Ch III which postulate an integrated judicial system would be frustrated in their entirety. To this extent, at least, the States are not free to legislate as they please. What that means is NO State is free to legislate as it pleases.

That includes the Commonwealth. Applying the “Kable Principle” the Federal Government must accept that it must repeal S 39 Federal Court of Australia Act 1976 and Order 46 Rule 7A Federal Court Rules and let the reforms introduced by Paul Keating’s government take effect.

The autochthonous expedient Justice Gaudron was talking about, was the decision in 1903, by the Parliament of the Commonwealth to leave ownership of State courts, with the States. Paul Keating’s government introduced a National Competition Policy. However the policy is unenforceable while the Courts of Australia remain in the hands of lawyers. They will not compete. They indulge in exclusive dealing, and they completely destroy democracy. Democracy is not just a vote every three years. It is also the right to be part of a court, in your town in your community, and this decision restores that right to you. Insist upon it

Curmodgen, talking about the Iraq-Iran War, please remember that by backing Iraq, it was America's chance to get her own back against Iran even putting in another fake Shah.

With Rumsey spending so much time advising Saddam it's a wonder Iran was able to make even more of a fool of Americana.

With Americana still out to get Iran some bloody how, let's hope Obama can do something more decent somehow.

As for a long time now, the biggest tension points for future war happen to be two-fold.

However, it's hard to pick between the two?

Certainly they do not conjoin, knowing the future horrid possibilities?

But without a doubt, firstly tiny little Israel with not only fingers pointing, but nuclear-loaded missiles aiming skyward perfectly calibrated to drop on Tehran.

No need to say any more, just another tragic part of history either ready to happen or no one's got the guts or commonsense to prevent.
