Shadow,
Given the close proximity of the Cayman Islands to Mexico and Columbia and as you say "putting your savings in a bank is the lowest return you can expect" and not knowing the investment portfolio of either Zebedee Growth Fund or MSD Torchlight Partners, maybe you can enlighten me as to what investments these two organisation make to give their customers these fabulous returns. Not having visited Adelaide for several years, I'm not aware of the location of the Adelaide slum district. Does it rival the slums of Calcutta? With the claim Nick X was the director of the company that developed and sold the Adelaide Towers apartments. It would seem as Nick's not that old, did he build the Adelaide Towers as prestigious apartments and have students turn them into slums later, or did he build them as slums in the first place? Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull name was found in the massive Panama Papers database. A company register document shows he was the former director of a company called Star Technology Systems Limited in the 1990s. Also listed on the register is Mr Turnbull's business partner, former NSW premier Neville Wran. Who I like to describe as shifty rather than nifty. The company was incorporated by Panamanian law firm Mossack Fonseca. Shadow, seem Malcolm likes to do business in that part of the world. Posted by Paul1405, Friday, 10 June 2016 6:34:14 AM

Paul1405,
Elsewhere you have been ducking the matter of Soros, the billionaire currency dealer who was also mentioned in the Panama papers, http://www.news.com.au/finance/money/tax/panama-papers-reveal-george-soros-deep-money-ties-to-secretive-weapons-firm/news-story/4f34cba3104155cdce5f93ec7751d729 This is one of the outfits alleged to be behind 'Gun Control'*, the highly secretive, publicity-shy overseas interests that interfere in the domestic politics of Australia and other Western democracies with the goal of disarming them. Would you like to explain how the Greens 'gun control' policies are Xeroxed from the secret squirrel 'gun control' activists and the buddy arrangements between them and the Greens? *'Gun Control', as in confiscations and bans not regulation of lawful ownership. <Panama Papers reveal George Soros’ deep money ties to secretive weapons firm BILLIONAIRE George Soros, who has spent millions of dollars financing Democrats and left-wing causes, used a controversial Panamanian law firm to establish a web of offshore investment partnerships that operate around the world and out of the scrutiny of US regulators, according to leaked documents. The so-called Panama Papers, a trove of 11.5 million financial documents tracing the Mossack Fonseca law firm’s efforts to help politicians, celebrities and criminals shield their money from taxes, contain links to Soros, who funds the journalism group that is disseminating the information. So far, the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) has been silent on its benefactor’s ties to the law firm. .. Soros Capital set up an offshore company in the Cayman Islands for the purpose of investing private equity with the Carlyle Group, alongside members of Saudi Arabia’s Bin Laden family. Carlyle’s partners include ex-heads of state and former CIA officials. The private equity partnership specialises in buying and selling weapons manufacturing and intelligence gathering companies with government and military contracts and it also uses secret offshore companies to conduct business... George Soros’ Open Society Foundations provides funding for pro-migrant activists throughout Europe. .. He is the largest donor to Hillary Clinton’s campaign for the presidency, plunking down $US8 million ($11 million), so far...> Posted by onthebeach, Friday, 10 June 2016 8:20:44 AM

Paul,
Sometimes you write such gibberish that I think that you are using recreational herbs. 1-What the hell does the geographical location of the Cayman Isles to do with the investment firms? 2-I have not experienced either the Xenophon slums or Calcutta slums, and I doubt that any Green has either due to the lack of cafes selling soy latte. 3-Given that none of the details from the Panama papers have indicated any wrong doing by the PM, do you have a point? I know that you are a legal illiterate, but most people know that nudge nudge wink wink innuendo does not constitute evidence. P.S. I am still waiting for your comments on Dinner Tally's ripping off of au pairs, and Syph Hansen Young's million dollar travel expenses. Posted by Shadow Minister, Friday, 10 June 2016 8:44:44 AM

Dear Poirot,
According to the figures in the polls the Coalition appears to continue to enjoy a lead over the ALP. Voters appear to rate the Coalition higher in terms of the economy. Which is rather surprising as - giving big companies $48 billion of tax cuts( according to quite a few commentators) -" will not be as effective as investing in education and training." We're told that "investing in education and training is far more likely to deliver productivity and growth and actually a stronger economy than a speculative give away to foreign multinationals." It appears that neither major party has been honest with voters about Australia's revenue problem. We need to pay more attention to what we're being told (and not told).

Foxy,
"According to the figures in the polls the Coalition appears to continue to enjoy a lead over the ALP." Which polls are they? Nearly all the polls in the most recent few months have Labor either in the lead or even with LNP (mostly in the lead)...one poll had a five point differential in Labor's favour.

My first Exercise "Long Shot 1. 1964" The Exercise was called off for a "Fire Power Demonstration" The Sabers came down the Valley Strafing about 5 k from where we were observing. Great lot of good that was. We couldn't see a thing. Then a Gannet flew slowly over us a few times. On it's last Run it flower bombed us from about 300 feet. That was interesting. The Bomber sitting on the floor with the Door open heaving packets of Flower at us. The Bomb Aimer wasn't too hot, they all landed about a hundred yards from us. It was a good day off in the middle of the Exercise though. Gannets were a big, Short Dumpy, aircraft.
