True story, back in the early 70's I once infiltrated a Liberal Party Branch meeting, as a prospective new member, what a hoot! It was held in a hall, about a dozen members in attendance, non under the age of 60, except me. On the wall was a picture of a very young and radiant looking Queen Elizabeth II. At the front was a table, with a photo of Sir Robert Menzies and a white table cloth, where sat 3 rather elderly persons, 2 men and a woman, the woman was the branch treasurer. Well, most of the nights discussion was taken up by this old bag with blue hair wanting to know why the government was not doing something about those long haired protesters against the war in Vietnam, she insisted something should be down along the line of what Mr Bjelke-Petersen was doing about the communists in Queensland. At the meetings start we sang Advance Australia Fair and at meetings end "we" all sang God Save the Queen, or was it the other way round. We then retired to the back of the hall for the highlight of the evening, the ladies had prepared tea and cup cakes, which I thought was rather radical, no scones! I never attended another meeting.

....What would Australians say if Indonesian military boats wandered uninvited into Australian waters?

Well technically they are Suze, as the hosts bringing the uninvited are leaving Indo waters.

And guess what, most of us habe had a gut full of the lack luster approach from Indo on the matter. Evidence that further fuels the corruption theory.

My opinion on stopping the boats, and the waste, is what ever it takes.

SPQR,
I recall the posts regarding Foxy's attempt to deceive readers of OLO that what she was quoting was official government opinion. I too refuted it at the time and am a bit surprized that Susie is trying the same thing again.

If Foxy and Susie were honest they would merely quote the author, but they add the Parliamentry library in effort to deceive posters here.

This Janet Phillips does not work in the Library for the government and it is not official advice. The DIMAC gives out official advice.

In the same way that Foxy falsely claimed that 1 million illegal entrants have entered Aus by air. Completely untrue.

These posters should be congratulating the government on its success thus far and for saving the lives of the illegals.

It really is time to tell the UN to go jump.

The hide of some UN monkeys in Indonesia to tell us what we can & can't do with an invading force, supported by Indonesian criminals. We really must make a stand, & withdraw all funding from this bunch of anti western tin pots. It only takes a quick look at the type of countries on various UN committees to see how far from useful it now is.

I have yet to hear any UN people telling Indonesia to prevent their boats invading our territorial waters. Only after the UN take action to prevent these incursions, should we even consider taking part in the farce.

Anyone who supports the UN against Oz in any way, can quite fairly be described as a traitor.

as a prospective new member, what a hoot!
Paul1405,
The idea of it all is to keep critical information from morons because a little knowledge is dangerous especially for a moron.

Paul1405,
You will be pleased to know that nothing much has changed from your 'infiltration' days and what a great little investigator you would have been I'm sure.
We don't have tea and scones these days. Coffee out of the 'Di Longio' and chilled Chardonnay (not French I'm sorry to say, the taxpayer can't afford it on our behalf yet}. We do have a good NZ label though and the bar setting is conjunctive to a lot of political banter as you would appreciate.
The pic of Bob Menzies is gone but Johnny Howard is there alongside our Omnipotent leader Tony and his erstwhile sidekick Campbell and sadly the Queen seems to be gathering dust in the corner facing the wall I'm afraid but then one does have to move with the times What! Ol' Man eh!?
Love to stay and chat but have got to get ready for our next promotion. Bill Glasson. Have you heard of him down in Griffith I believe.
