Hi Lexi,
I love it. I read it at a good time. I'd beenreading about Paul Ryan's budget proposal in the US, anf I was badly in need of cheering up. Anthony http://www.observationpoint.com.au Posted by Anthonyve, Saturday, 8 September 2012 7:46:46 PM

Anthonyve, what are my problems with waste.
Afagn war. We have spent billions on this war, lost something lime 35 brave young lives and achieved what? We are staying until 2014 says madam PM. Why? Is it because the US says so? The objectives of the war were to rid the world of two terrible people. That was done a year or so ago. Our objective now is to change another's world. Can't be done, but hey, let's waste another few billion trying. Boat people. Why the continued waste? What have we achieved, and more importantly, how can we fix this when the indonisian authorities are obviously corrupt and a major part of the problem. We can fix it, it's called a big stick, but no one wants to use it, they just want to waste more millions on talks. Now when I was a kid starting work, one worked, paid taxes and retired on a livable pension. That's gone, because my pension, along with many others pensions, have been taken to provide for outsiders. How am I going so far? Now we have thus thing called foreign aid, and if you wish to prioritize where the aid is spent, then so be it. But dont come looking for more simply because that budget did not allow for the labor's brain wave open door policy. At least not until our people are all housed, fed, clothed and provided for. After all, is looking after ones own FIRST too much to ask for? Posted by rehctub, Sunday, 9 September 2012 7:20:17 AM

Sounds like a whinge to me Butch. You'd be happy with low end workers getting paid peanuts, and people living under constant threat.
Iron ore is the very dirt we walk upon, it is a national wealth. How can it belong to one person, or group of persons. It was Tom Price an American that found the high quality of Australian iron ore in the Pilbara, and coaxed the govt; to mine it. Posted by 579, Sunday, 9 September 2012 7:59:35 AM

It could be, rechtub, it could be; under certain circumstances. Hint: look up the word 'selfishness' in the dictionary. Anthony http://www.observationpoint.com.au Posted by Anthonyve, Sunday, 9 September 2012 8:23:39 AM

Anton, how can you call is selfish, when our wealth is distributed much more wiidely than most other nations and, we have a better support system as well, however, that is proving to be our undoing, as it is our generously that these people come for.
579 With the level of training assistance available, anyone can improve their skills. There is simp,y no excuse for most. As for sharing the wealth, what are royalties if not a sharing if the assett? Posted by rehctub, Sunday, 9 September 2012 9:08:35 AM

I've found this on the web.
My apologies ahead of time - but I couldn't resist.
What's the difference between a picture of
Kim Jong Un and a picture of Tony Abbott holding
a potato?
One's a dictator and the other
is a dick'n'tater.
