That's the shot FOXY stay positive and defeat the illness that's causing you all that bother ! From the responses and commentaries you've shared with us all, over the years, you've got an immense amount of energy and vigour with which to to fight whatever it is that afflicts you.

Moreover Foxy you possess an inordinate amount of strength and enthusiasm, all of which can assist in neutralizing the occasional despondency and depression that illnesses can bring ! I know personally, when your kind words, that could've only come from the heart, have given me much comfort when I've been feeling poorly ! So we're ALL here for you FOXY, please remember that.

Foxy: Could you tell me for your Senate vote - who the initials - ON, ALA, LAZ, and KAP stand for?

ON, One Nation
ALA, Australian Liberty Alliance.
LAZ, Glen Lazarus.
KAP, Katter's Australia Party

I believe that if Australia has an Independent Senate that won't Kow Tow to the Big Two who either put Legislation up to benefit themselves or Vote against it because they don't want the "other" Party to pass any Legislation regardless of weather it's good or bad. Having a group of Independents can force the Big two to formulate better Legislation that will benefit all. Here's hoping anyway.

The big two just want to fight each other & buggar us down here. It's all one upmanship & nothing really good is getting done.

I don't care what order you mark just "Do it."

Dear O Sung Wu,

Thank You from the bottom of my heart.

You've always been there for all of us on this
Forum - and you've always shone a light into
the darkness.

Dear Jayb,

Thanks for explaining the initials.

They will be very useful. I was thinking about not voting
for either of the two major parties. You've pointed me
in the right direction.

Hey Foxy, go pull that bucket out of the well kid, read the list you'll find in it, & start working your way through it. Nothing like being too busy having fun to have time to die.

When I was in emergency after my third heart attack I heard a conversation outside my cubicle. Some male nurse had come to see what a bloke who had survived three heart attacks looked like. I told him I was too busy to die just yet. You can do it too, get out there & do everything you can.

Hey o sung wu, I'm starting to get there with this remote control flying thing. I still can't fly the model Sea Fury anywhere near as well as I flew the real one, but at least I've stopped parking the damn things in the big gum trees, & I've developed a new skill. Repairing the undercarriage, after I've knocked a wheel off with a heavy landing. May be I need a model aircraft carrier, but I'm proving you're never too old to learn something.

Nick Xenophon the Slum Lord!! - I wonder if his slum was negatively geared?

"Nick Xenophon appears to have been caught out denying he or his family had unwittingly become slumlords in a unit block blighted by illegal overcrowding.

The senator admitted last week to failing to declare to parliament that he was the director of the company that developed and sold the Adelaide Towers apartments.

He flatly denied in an interview with the ABC that he, his father Theo Xenophou or their company had owned units turned into slums by student tenants.

The Australian can reveal that land title records show Mr Xeno­phou’s company owned unit 101, which came to the attention of the Residential Tenancies Tribunal because it had illegal partitioning, sub-letting and overcrowding.

It can also be revealed that Senator Xenophon, who was sold two units at less than the average price of an apartment in the building at the time, and his father owed $230,000 between them to the owners corporation.

Mr Xenophou had failed to pay strata fees for a year over a dispute about asbestos, rubbish chutes and tiling. A legal bid to recover the money cost the owners corporation almost $100,000 and was settled in 2012."

Nah Shadow, our man Dick is sending down a bus load of au pairs to fix up the joint for our new friend Nick, Got the CFA on standby just in case there are any pay and conditions disputes, we need a shop steward, are you available?
