Dear Belly,

Some people always feel better when they have
someone to blame.

Dear Hasbeen,

What's a "leftie?"
And is it a bad thing and why?

To governments long gone,
Belly,
that is a perfect display of a total lack of foresight & an even worse one of foresight. Xenophobic,
? c'mon ! when did you whizz that one through the knuckles ? Australia will be reeling from the Whitlam era for a long time yet.

Lexi,
It doesn't make me feel better to whinge because it makes me frustrated to see the lack of concern re this country by so many. Obviously you're not familiar with the pension drain to Greece otherwise you wouldn't say so. Due to the mismanagement by the Whitlam mob australian pensioners chose to live in cheaper countries. The largest exodus was to Greece. Whole clans took their australian wealth. These weren't so much voluntary decisions but mainly economic because the pension in Australia became & still is literally insufficient a compensation for people who worked 45 or more years to look forward to retirement. Now people dread the thought of retirement & living in poverty. Now you can only spend a maximum of three months overseas before they cut your pension. I think it may have been the Howard Govt that brought that limit in but I'm not totally sure. I think it is a very sad indictment that pensioners can't have a decent existence in the land that accepted all their taxes. That's why Greece plays a major part in this.

Dear Individual,

Thank You for taking the time and the effort to
explain things to me. I really didn't know anything
about it. Of course it sounds dreadful and I can
fully understand your concern and dismay. It's
fully justified and my apologies for doubting
what you were saying.

Polite name for parasite. That should need no further explaining.

par·a·site [par-uh-sahyt]

noun

1. An organism that lives on or in an organism of another species, known as the host, from the body of which it obtains nutriment.

2. A person who receives support, advantage, or the like, from another or others without giving any useful or proper return, as one who lives on the hospitality of others.

Ah, Dear RM,

When you say "parasites,"
you obviously understand so well -
the growing sense of frustration
that real people are being ignored at the
expense of established (parasitic?) interests.
Like "profits versus wages" in the Qantas case.

Now I get it.

I saw no gun put to any of the Qantas employes heads forcing them to work for what they get. They are free to pursue alternative employment any time they like. They could even risk their own wealth and start their own company, all still free in this country.

But that's all too hard for a leftie, better to let someone else do all the hard work and demand the low hanging fruit for themselves!

But that's ok, keep pushing and flapping your jaws, if you all flap hard enough you might create enough uplift to fly yourselves, but beware of the free loaders hanging on for the ride or the landing might be a bit rough!
