“Aussies do not hide in the corner they get up and have a go.”

That’s what I thought but not what I have experienced so far, that’s why I am so disappointed. Not that I don’t understand given the weight of a government boot on your neck.

“But not like they once did fear in the work place sees some stay in the corner.”

Yup. My workplace is a bit different, it’s all corners.

“We each and every one of us should get down on our knees and give thanks for post war migration, it gave us much, including pride in our country.”

Don't forget The Forgotten Belly babe.

I hope something big happens with Wikileaks, something that changes transparency in government here.

Jewely:

I think that Wikileaks will make all governments a bit more careful with their communications in the future. For a while at least.

Oh, is that all. Well that is a little disappointing.

I might go find my cat and kick it...

Jewely:

Nah, don't do that - go have some chocolate or indulge in something you really enjoy doing instead. That's what I do when I'm depressed or upset about something! Give yourself a treat! (Or someone you love). ;-)

Jewely,

It's refreshing to see the pollies on the back foot and scrambling to validate their actions - to realise that from this time on they may be under greater scrutiny. And when can you last remember such resounding agreement and solidarity emanating from and amongst the general public...strange days indeed.

I sense that the time of the "activist" is once more on the rise...London's getting tickled up at the moment.

Perhaps I'm being naive, but I feel as if The wikileaks saga may represent a "defining moment" in the post-industrial world (even if its effects are watered down).

Cats can take it Lexi and it’s better for me. Thought I’d go find the neighbours cat later, nothing better than hunting down a predator. I can even convince myself I am doing it for all the little native animals.

Wish I was depressed and upset, disappointment is much harder for me to deal with because it means I had expected something honest and I thought I’d recently become immune to that.

Poirot, I only just caught your post and the neighbours cat may yet remain unscathed!

“Perhaps I'm being naive, but I feel as if The wikileaks saga may represent a "defining moment" in the post-industrial world (even if its effects are watered down).”

That was what I was looking for, something, and anything. Naive is probably a Swedish crime “surprise of govt lies” or something.
