SteeleRedux Why are you posting this rubbish, you fail to give the reason the Government are using to deport him?

Are we supposed to take your word for it he is a saint.

** Funny how I used some of the words you usually direct at me. **

Quote "Why have you brought up the issue of someone having their visa cancelled because they committed a crime? There is no indication either he or his wife have engaged in anything criminal here."

** Could it have something to do with the first 5 words
"You mean the same tribunal that kept Australia from deporting a refugee for 7 years."

and
"Much of what you write in your statements and remarks, is frankly, quite garbled and confusing for me."

You are not alone I have asked Belly on a number of occasions to please translate a comment to English.

o sung wu,
I agree with you about Belly's posts being garbled.

I used to have some very good debates with Belly until his extended 'break', however since his return most of his posts do not make sense.

I was quite surprised by his comments regarding yourself as I do not think they are shared by any others. I believe that your words and attitude have earned the respect of all other posters, and I have been around here longer than most. You are the most courteous and considerate of all.

All the best old feller, it has been a pleasure to relate to you.

Hi there PHILIP S, & HENRYL...

I've always tried to maintain a courteous and friendly 'On Line' relationship with Belly. Apparently, I've failed. It is true; I've attacked others herein, whenever they've denigrated or insulted the police force, with all their imperfections and defects, and Australia's commitment to the Vietnam War, with all the wrongs and immorality that occurred during the prosecution of that war. My reasons are quite simple - I've lost close mates and colleagues in both the military and the police. And my own sense of worth will not allow me to stand idly by, and not offer some retort in their defence.

I think in BELLY'S case he has a natural dislike for police per se. And as a former DMR road worker, he's been taught to dislike even despise them, whenever he was fraternizing among his work colleagues. In truth, I can't know for sure gentlemen?

One thing seems apparent to me with BELLY; he's a devoted Labour supporter. Therefore many of his political views and opinions materialize from his ideological 'Left.' Whereas, I'm further to the Right than Genghis Kahn. BELLY'S such a complex, albeit honorable in his way character; perhaps I'm doing him a disservice. Thank you both for your support. It's nice to know, I've got some 'good thinker's' auditing whatever I say on this august Forum!

Alan Bell, aka, Belly, has an ex-policeman as his state MP. National Party, what's more. Could explain things?

Hi there TTBN...

My friend that may well explain things a little clearer for most of us, as he does seem to have issues with police, as did I and nearly all coppers in the first couple of years of our service.

Situations like nepotism, tribalism, the 'vertical' smile, you name it, the Force has it all, and then some. All of which are impediments that don't favour harmonious interaction between different staff levels. Not all that dissimilar to other large, disciplined institutions, where your every move is scrutinized and audited in case you go, rogue.

TTBN, there's an old saying...'Whenever there's trouble, the 'first' person you want to see is a copper. And they'd be the 'last' person you'd ever wish to share company with, and partake in a drink.
