This post,maybe two, has been in my head over night and has nothing to do with my reply to RObert.
At my birth not as long ago as you think communications was the valve radio.
The world was a more controlled place.
Church's and religions held tight to our actions.
In the case of Catholics and COE part of governments.
We chuckle and wonder about North Korea, its great leader, but the British crown had many/most? on their knees too.
Call to war on her behalf saw our women, a more fragile less adventuress woman, send the fatal insult, a white feather to send men to die.
Notice the change from my birth.
We communicate instantly, no one dare tell us what to say or think, is that true?
Woman now often lead,men often follow.
No true barriers exist to stop us thinking talking as we will.
But is it working, the regimentation is gone replaced with what?
A tower of babble, insistences that my views be addressed, even if only held by few.
As our population grows yet again, as it has immensely in my life span.
We may find a different world in the future of a western child born today as he/she reaches my age
continued.

What do I think That child will watch become reality.
First what does this old man feeling, think, he see,s.
I see a world needing direction, seemingly in every country stalled by self interest and too many voices/opinions.
I think our child will see, maybe other hands building it now, while we fight over our place on the beach, one world government.
If not now being internally put in place brick by brick, done at some future time.
In the name of saving the human race/planet.
The screams begin now.
I will be branded COMMUNIST SOCIALIST, good morning Col.
Nazi, right wing trog.
I under stand.
I fear it too.
In my life time Communism failed, it killed all need to be better, it blacked the name of true Socialism, yet it too would have died as it killed the will to be better.
Conservative now feel warm and comfortable,DO NOT!
Work choices, the idiotic plan to grow rich by suppressing the poor further was an attempted socialism for the rich.
We will have one government because we daily fail to except responsibility for the way our world is stumbling.
Like sucker fish we impose our selfs on bigger fish and feed on the scraps.
minority's demand majority's cede the ground they stand on.
Humanity can talk, its acting that lets us down.

This link could have gone to other such threads.
Those threads are no longer on subject.
And some have left,rather than read thoughts and ideas that are not theirs.
If we, every one of us, read every word of this link.
Read it like it is the very first thing we ever look at from a political view.
Can we all see? surely we can?
This issue is not put up for resolution, it has become a club, on both sides to trash the other side.
We every day prove self interest bars us from results.

Belly I'd be surprised if Ludwig can be charged if the practice of handing over union members fee's to pay the private costs of union officials isn't against the rules. Nor do I think that unions are the only corrupt group in the country.

It's still relevant in light of other revelations at just how self serving a number of union officials have become. I wonder how many other area's there would be where officials could get away with using funds in that manner?

"He said union officials lost their private identity when they took on the job of union representation.

"Any attack on them becomes an attack on the union," he said. "That is why their costs are covered""

I will be away for a few days.
For much needed break fishing on the north coast of NSW.
Will be interested to read comments on returning
This morning highlights the threads intentions.
I doubt we can talk.
My last 50 posts will find me shafting that unionist for betraying his membership.
And defending his right to trial.
Today it is said, and I think it true, the union is infected with such.
Many unions are/have been.
One is nothing but a criminal group.
Yet a whole history of good actions will never see the light of day.
I condemn, every owner of bad union actions.
I insist they go, to prison.
BUT I too state, I gave thousands of dollars out of my pocket freely away, to workers in need ,suffered for it.
I know why unions formed,some no longer do.
No defense!
But why have so many business men stolen so much and we hear nothing of it.
Why do conservative politicians sneak out the cleaners door in Parliament house and we never know why.
We can talk but not be heard , not get opinion in the press, unless it defames Labor, presents the view of a hidden power intent on power with out honor?
