cont'd ...

Anyway, for me this thread is now closed
and I shall not be coming back to it.

You can continue with your anti-Labor rants
by starting your own thread. I'm sure that
you'll get enough kindred spirits to join you.

Or Alternatively, you can stay on and talk to yourself.
Your choice.

Lexi,

Have you ever considered that maybe you have a blind spot? You just don't seem to tolerate any concessions to the wonderful democratic and legal inheritances from the Britain.

All most posters seem to be reflecting is concern that the baby isn't thrown out with the bath water as the Progressives' have been prone to do, and resulting in the most regrettable unforeseen consequences. As well, it is reasonable to question cost and priority when ambulances are ramped outside hospital emergency departments because there isn't the money and the old are being asked to sell their family home and move into some entrepreneur's redevelopment in a slum to pay for their aged care.

You have posted hundreds of comments bagging Australia and Australians as 'racists', xenophobes and worse(!). You seem to limit this to 'white' Australians and exclusively it appears, to anyone descended from British stock. It is a constant theme in your posts. But why is that so? You and your parents seem to be doing well out of Australia. For starters, you say you are employed as a librarian, which is a good deal when you consider that many younger than you have been given the chop under restructuring and for affirmative action priorities.

Surely it is worth preserving the abundant good that in Australian instututions, traditions and culture that have served so well (and provided a safe sanctuary from Russia and a future for your parents).

Then again, maybe Banjo was right,
