SPQR valid concern, maybe we should change the laws.
And as on this occasion it is likely the detainee is Tamil Tiger, we could well send him/her home.
A regional solution, should have in its final charter a rule letting such folk, EVERY TIME when arriving without papers, to be returned.
We should make it an offense to arrive without papers in almost every case.

Nobody was 'trying to sidetrack' the issue. It is the issue as Belly had asked the question as to who is running the country. Fact is we do have separation of powers for a good reason.

Not again Arjay, please.

>>Google Barnaby is Right and explain how our banks can have a $15 trillion derivative exposure with only $2.66 trillion in assets of which many are loans based on inflated property values?<<

As I have said, many times before, our banks do not have a $15 trillion derivative exposure.

Let me say it more slowly, so that you can keep up.

Our

Banks

Derivative

Exposure.

Maybe you find it easier to understand if I said it backwards.

Exposure derivative $15 trillion a have not do banks our.

French?

Nos banques n'ont pas d'exposition aux produits bancaires dérivés.

Please, let me know how I can phrase this simple fact in a way that you can understand.

To refresh your memory, I explained it to you this way, last time you made the very same error:

You are a bookie at the races. You take a trillion bucks at even money for the horse "My Nag" to win. You take another trillion from punters betting on the other horses in the race to win. "My Nag" wins. How much is left in the bookie's satchel?

According to the arithmetic used by both you and Barnaby, there should be two trillion dollars floating around somewhere.

But there isn't, is there? Where can it possibly have gone?

Sadly, the same level of credibility attaches to all the other guff you write. Perhaps if you managed to get just one thing right, more people would listen.

Fat chance, though, eh?

So who do we believe Pericles,you or Barnaby Joyce? Even if their ie(our banks) deivative exposure is $ 1 trillion we are all in big trouble.

<< Nobody was 'trying to sidetrack' the issue…>>

Yes you were Pelican, you can’t pull the wool over my eyes.
I was looking through your webcam this morning when you wrote in your diary: “My dastardly deed for today will be to sidetrack Belly’s thread”
And I was waiting for yah.
