Paul,

That's no reason to subsidise them, there are plenty of small countries that could use a hand, File being one of them.

Issy, Isssy, Issssy!

Take that back about Little Johnny, he was not my favorite PM, as you know, but he did the right thing about those things which we are not going to mention on this thread. You know those things, a length of pipe with a chunk of wood at the end, and go 'pop' when you pull the trigger. If you're still not clear on what I'm not mentioning they rhyme with bun, dun, fun, jun, tun, run, mun, nun, pun and sun. If you are still not clear I can't help you any more.

I agree about the Indo's, stop spending money on war. I was being facetious as usual.

Sometimes, in order to apease morons it is necessary to behave like one.

I can make a case against this government without raising a sweet,but the they are all the same mob, do it without thinking, as do the they are all in it for what they can get out of it tribe. it is not easy, never was never will be, trying to run a government knowing at the very start you will never please everyone, that you will be rejected even by your own base,see Turnbull right now, and knowing you may never ever get a chance to tell voters just why both sides of politics support aid, even who gets it, and when,understanding and knowledge of both the need for aid and its benefits will never ever be embraced by the we know different mob,

Paul like you Howard was not on my wish list but until his infamous war against workers he could still be PM he beat himself and right now the subject of Liberal leadership is headlines again a truth few will wish to see exists, not one of the would be replacements for Turnbull is near a Howard, one maybe more exist right now, but until both sides give much more consideration in to bringing the other sides voters to them, Howard Rudd Hawke Whitlam like, we will see division, whoever wins he/she will continue using aid if only we could take ten percent of this worlds arms costs and use it for aid we could change this world

Paul,

The only thing that might deter me would be the length of the queue.
