What will the Senate achieve?

At the least, it will send dicky legislation back for more consideration.
It may even, by the committee process, embarrass the Government into doing something about being a good government.

Fear the day when either of the major parties controls both Houses.

Hi Individual,

I meant pre-contact: how did Islanders get fresh water before diesel generators ? Say, hundreds of years ago ?

Thanks for the serve, Paul :)

Cheers,

This ‘conversation’ has run out of puff, with the usual suspects getting sillier and sillier. Let's be happy we can still for drones, instead of this:

“Men in Iran have been ordered not to look at women during Ramadan as part of a round of draconian restrictions imposed by the increasingly isolated regime.

In a sign of frustration with growing civil discontent and economic pain caused by US sanctions, hardliners in Iran’s government are forcing through unusually strict social diktats to bring people into line.

The country’s judiciary has announced that those eating in public during the fasting period are also in breach of laws and will be prosecuted.

“My personal advice to women is to respect the hijab even more than before and gentlemen must avoid looking directly at female passersby,” Gholam- Hossein Esmaili, a judiciary spokesperson said.

“Anyone ignoring these instructions during the Ramadan will be committing an offence and should expect some punishment from the law enforcement units.”

Instead of the same old yabber, we need a Nigel Farange in Australia.

Farange's Brexit party has outpolled both the Tories and Labour. They spell Labour properly in the UK, unlike our semi-literate brand of socialists.

Brexit. 34%

Labour. 21%

Tories. 11%

We shouldn't be putting numbers against the names of any of our morons, but demanding a cleanout and a fresh start.
