Yabby, it seems that we can add the deficit of reading properly to your written literacy problems. I said "involved in animal welfare in a meaningful way". That does not include those areas of the RSPCA which fail in their statutory duty, and of course there are differences in any organisation from time to time. The overall resolve remains the same.

As for the speech by Wirthless, the only agenda he pushes is that of himself. He is a sad caricature, and could never be accused of doing anything particularly proactive for animals, anything that requires any particular courage of conviction. As the then National President, in 2006 on "A Blind Eye", he said he "could not control state branches", so add totally ineffectual to the above. He long ago lost the respect of people doing "meaningful" things in the animal welfare movement, and the right, not to mention the insight, to comment on other groups and their philosophies and strategies. The RSPCA is mostly reactive rather than proactive (look the words up, there's a good boy).

PALE quotes him here in yet another sad, misguided attempt to discredit all of those fine, courageous people who DO go out there and make a difference. Before anyone asks how he became spokesperson for HWC/WSPA, all I can say is that he would not have been if it were my choice.

I too had a chuckle over your deception since you, a wheat grower also, feigned ignorance on pesticides and insecticides which are currently suspected of causing fish mutations and cancers due to the fact that these chemicals are endocrine disruptors, though that would be the least of your worries.

Speaking of wheat Yabby, it has been noted that the top grade is always kept for export – the domestic consumers get the rest. How embarrassed you must be Yabby, that your "top grade" WA wheat has been rejected not once but twice by Japan, just this decade, because it was contaminated. So what are the domestic consumers eating one must ask?

Then Pakistan rejected a load too claiming it was contaminated with lead. Was that from WA? Of course, I understand that when these thousands of tonnes are rejected due to contamination, one must find another customer to flog it off to, just like your live animals eh, which we know are provided with grain potentially contaminated with endosulfan and God knows what else.

Ah....but hang about dear Yabby! Perhaps a few loads of the wheat rejects were dumped on the Indians:?

Yes indeed......should one ponder these wide brown lands of ours which are certainly not clean or green?

What say ye Yabby? Strewth cancel that last request – you’re already drowning in dribble! Haven’t you got a job to go to? Perhaps you could apply to take part in a commercial ad? You know the one where the two twits play the piano with their privates? And you can remain mute - dear God! Don't forget the Viagra first dear boy!

And yet poor simple Belly believes the "sea kitten" ad could beat that for stupidity! Oh.....my!

Cheerio

Oh deary dear me. Now our Dickie is trying to apply her
housewifely skills to growing wheat and global trade!

Its fairly bleeding obvious that you worked for the Catholic Church,
for you clearly don't have the foggiest about the rough and tumble
of international marketing :)

Go and ask CBH about the sorts of outrageous claims that are
made by some buyers, in order to push down the price by 20 bucks
a tonne or to get out of a contract, signed when prices were higher.

In Asia there is a thing called "fair game" and anything goes.
I've seen gullible Aussies who don't understand it, lose their
shirts, because they were convinced that little signed bit of
paper mattered. As one Aussie supermarket chain manager told
me when he had to pay a bribe to get some perishables through
customs in Taipei, "Its law of the jungle over here"

Stick to the housework Dickie, clearly that is your field
of expertise, certainly not agriculture.

Why should any WA wheatgrower use Endosulfan on wheat?
A two headed fish appears in Queensland, now you want
to blame WA farmers for that too. Female logic indeed!

BTW, some of the worst soil erosion from overcultivation
would occur when people grow organic wheat. Unable to
use Roundup etc, they cultivate the soil to death to
kill those weeds. Next thing it washes and blows away,
so that you can eat your organic wheat. So much for
saving the planet heh.

Nicky dear, so sink your catty little claws into the RSPCA,
if you wish.

I think that what it comes down to, is a fair bit of jealousy.
Lets face it, for most people the RSPCA matters, the rest
of you matter about as much as the Hare Krishna. You are
simply a quaint decoration, as they are.

So you are pedantic about spelling heh. Even on OLO, where
people write their casual opinions. Its not as if they
were publishing a manuscript. No doubt you are pedantic
too about the toilet seat being down, the cap being on
the toothpaste and any clothes lying around would fill
you with horror.

You can't help yourself Nicky! Condolences to the
boyfriend, for he has to put up with you.

Does anyone here have a gag - or a Hannibal Lecter face mask will do - oh and a straight jacket too............P...L...E...A...S...E?

Interesting posts Yabby, good responses to the Dickie hysteria.

Dickie "Does anyone here have a gag - or a Hannibal Lecter face mask will do - oh and a straight jacket too............P...L...E...A...S...E?"

Why, are you going to exit your padded cell?

btw, I am still waiting for you to substantiate those "lies" you said I told but have never been able to quote from....
