leoj, its rather amazing how you waffle on about Australian values, without ever stating what they are. Now you got Gillard and her lofty nonsense of Labor's delights. I thought you hated Gillard, you have put up enough derogatory posts about her often enough.
Maybe for you Australian values, is lining your pockets with lucre obtained by dubious means from the unsuspecting. I remember that land deal post of yours some years back, sorry that was onthebeach, not you.

Paul1405,

What does it take? Maybe a brick Council convenience to fall on your head?

You should throw off the blinders and the yoke of the Greens political elite who regard Greens members as 'useful idiots'. They rev you up with your jealous hatreds from your lost years of opportunity and then it is off to their million dollar homes for them. They will be getting a golden handshake for life out of the taxpayer's hide, your hide too, but more indirectly perhaps. Do they ever invite you for the top shelf plonk they keep at home? Taxpayer-funded limo. Or are you left with the empty cartons in the public park?

Hmmm, make that $2million_plus homes. And ramping upwards in $value thanks to that population growth through record immigration.

What would a Green of yesteryear, a real Green, say about that Ponzie growth scheme, Paul1405?

leoj, I don't know, after all you are the experienced wheeler and dealer in that area, you tell us. You go on about workers, but I bet you don't work yourself. Early retirement, possibly from the ponzi growth speculative property market. And envious of The Greens to boot.

Paul1405,

Seems you have no idea of the value of Rhiannon's and Sh**bridge's parliamentary super and on top of their property holdings. Rhiannon has two golden handshakes, one from NSW and the other as a federal senator.

Have a chat with someone who does superannuation valuation. Be seated before being advised of the approximate valuation of Rhiannon's two parliamentary superannuation benefits.

There wouldn't be many State or federal parliamentarians that Senator Rhiannon couldn't buy and sell.

Read the linked article and you will see that the reporter 'gets' it,

Australia day is an already established date on our calendar.
Is there a more significant date since the first arrivals on this
land mass by the antecedents of the presant aborigines ?

There has been a no more significant date in the last 60,000 years.

Celebrate that they survived those 60,000 years as an achievement.
It is indeed a very apt date to over come the wrongs that were done by
some of the 1788 people.
Whenever new people arrive where existing people are already present
there has always been disruption and wrongs done.
There are many examples in history and it is reasonable to expect
that subsequent groups of aborigine’s ancestors also did the same to
those that preceded them.
The aborigines have already started to merge with us and inevitably
as a separate race they will no longer exist as indeed will the rest of us.
