“Pied Piper- my understanding is that the person with most of the custody gets less money from their ex-partner for every time that the kids stay with the ex. Sabotaging these visits means more money in their pockets.”

Umm… Benk? I don’t even understand this. Cause the money per night away would be really small plus you don’t have to feed the children or wash clothes when they aren’t home. I know mums really like some time to themselves and the odd weekend or half a school holiday off. Or the dad or the gay partner – whoever has them the most.

I think no way does any of this have anything to do with the CSA, any situation like this is two adults who haven’t split well and certainly one or both aren’t considering the children.

Weren't Fractelles advantages more emotional than financial? But Benk I got nothing, CSA got me nothing. Yes you may chalk up a win for the men.[smile]

Fractelle, Australia's Constitution says
Julia Gillard is under male supervision.

The Pied Piper, Australia's Constitution says
that it doesn't matter what women do or who they are
they are still are under male legislation.

the remedy is a Referendum
to provide an equal rights Republic of Australia
with a women's legislature.

Her Excellency Ms Quentin Bryce AC is feeling no pain and nor would be Queen Elizabeth 11.

Not very likely that either would split her role is it?

Then there is the problem that the various cultural groups in Oz could feel they are being left out, so why not have a multitude of heads of government and of parliaments.

Did I mention the left handed and the unfortunates with red hair? What about their legislatures? Damned Constitution, it left all of us out for some reason or another.

C J Morgan, 'I actually had that conversation with some NRL tragics at the pub last night - who were saying what a wonderful game SOO3 was, mainly because of all the biffo.'

The problem there is the company you keep. If you are reduced to being a bar fly in a cheap pub for company of course you will meet ruffians. OLO is much the same, if you play in the mud pit as you are rather prone to do, you are sure to attract some roughies from the other side of the tracks - the ones who might snort 'HAW' in agreement with you.

It is too late for the big games tonight, but next time put on some reasonable clothes, apply some attention to your grooming and go out of your environs for a decent bar. You might have to travel across a few suburbs but it will be well worth the cab fare.

Meanwhile getting back to footy, the NRL judiciary has already taken action on match infringements, which supporters and players think is a jolly good thing.

Keep enjoying your footy and feel free to ask more questions.

NRL has the "biffo", but ARL has the "pusho".

The main reason I can't stand ARL is because of the way the juvenile, immature players continually "push" each other. It happens all the time in virtually every game. Two players might be 50 metres away from the action, yet one will push the other, then the other player pushes back, the he gets another push, then there's antother push in retaliation. And so it goes on - - - TIME AND TIME AND TIME AGAIN.

It's about as JUVENILE and STUPID as it gets.

And it's a blight on the game!
