Thanks for that Foxy, a bit of nostalgia there for me. One small protest worth a extra comment. KELLY'S BUSH, in the heart of true blue Liberal Party territory. When a small group of mostly matronly Hunters Hill Liberal voting women, in their floral sun frocks, folks you would expect to be the very last to protest about anything at all. These women identified an injustice in their community, and lone behold, combined with their direct opposites, Jack Mundey's (Commo) BLF to fight what was a shocking development proposal, and WON!
People Power, does make a difference.

Shadow, if I was to change my spots, that would put me on the wrong side, and I don't want that. I like my Green spots.

Dear Paul,

I'm glad that you read the links and that they brought
back memories. I was impressed by the many protests
around the country in March - by people from all walks
of life - all illustrating the very accurate expression
of public opinion. And then of course the protests
that followed in May against the budget. Great stuff!

Paul,

I said "I am commenting on today not 40 years ago. ..... the leopard has changed its spots. Perhaps you should too.

Your reply:

"Shadow, if I was to change my spots, that would put me on the wrong side, and I don't want that. I like my Green spots"

The obvious retort is that you are welcome to stay in the 70s like the other Green dinosaurs.

'runner it looks very much like you think abbotts lies are not as bad as gillards lie.
Typical christian hypocrite.

yep Mikk just as bad and just as bad as your denials.

Oooops - I just realised that I made a typo in
the link I cited earlier. Here it is again:

Runner replied, "Yep Mikk".
