Australia would have been far better off if Fraser had been still born and the milk fed to the pigs.

Don't forget he saddled us with the Leb problem. Against departmental advice as well and strongly pushed the multicultural barrow. Damage that cannot be undone.

Pity he has been taking our oxygen for so long.

Dear Banjo,

How will you be remembered I wonder once you
take your last breeeeeeeeeeeath?

"Even reckless drunken drivers,
Even alcohol imbibers,
Even little children rooters,
Even supermarket looters,
Even violent gay bashers,
Even public penis flashers,
Even tiny kitten-kickers,
Even anal finger-lickers,
Even rampant migrant haters,
Even one-eyed mean debaters,
All desire what they ain't
In death to become a saint!"

Foxy I don't wear this sudden veneration of someone, just because they are dead. If they were a lousy person, or a really lousy PM I see no reason to say otherwise.

Many of us here are getting pretty close to the same position. Another of my contemporises died a couple of days ago. A few of us are remembering him, as a great racing driver, but more as a man. Any praise will be sincerely felt. It will not be just because a lot of fools voted for him.

If Tony Abbott stepped under a bus tomorrow, the press core, who hate his guts, would be waxing lyrical in praise of his just discovered by them, sterling qualities. They disgust me even more than Fraser did. I will not be part of such crap.

Malcolm will stand before God like everyone else. Better to let Him judge the dead.

I carry no torch for Malcolm Fraser but i did see him in a good light once, as a gentle and caring husband.
I was living just up the road from him in Kirribilli and walking home one afternoon I saw Malcolm and Tammie ahead, a Commonwealth car pulled up to take her somewhere and Malcolm put his arm around her and gave her a kiss before she got in the car and they waved to each other as the car drew away.
Malcolm kept walking and I was passed by two young men, who looked very fit and were actually marching in step.
I twigged that they were his security detail and were service personnel, probably Army Officers.

So, in my best parade ground voice I gave the order "Change Step",
one of them executed it perfectly and the other stumbled and turned and gave me a look that would have curdled milk at 50 metres!

Made my day.

Foxy, its sad really the things a person like Malcolm Fraser stood for, honesty and fairness etc, are detested by the rabid right wingers on here. Maybe we should start a thread to the memory of Joseph Goebbels, and add a possible touching tribute from Tony Abbott, that was disgusting of Abbott comparing Shorten to Goebbels! I am sure the Rabid Right will be over generous of their praise of another mad man. Sad, very sad.
