I stopped being ideological as a Labor voter in early 1990s when listening to the Parliament when working in a factory.

Could not stand listening to the ego manic that was Keating, and deplored the way the left cheered him on. they feted him as some kind of genius, whereas i thought he was rude and overrated. The fact he turned against the GST also pi..ed me of, given his previous stance.

I knew then that Howard had to become leader again because he was only Liberal then that gave it back to Keating with intellect, and much more.

And then along comes Latham , with his 1998 book, absolute rubbish as far as i was concerned. Dumbfounded he became leader.

Too many chiefs not enough indians

In America, the 'expert' Dr. Fauci is backing President Trump. Fauci says, "We can't stay locked down for such a considerable time that you might do irreparable damage and have unintended consequences, including consequences for health".

His English is not too good, but his advice is sound.

Of course the Democrat lunatics don't agree because he is not their 'expert'.

Academics usually specialize in one particular field, if the comment or give advise on anything outside that field the comment or advise is most likely worse than anything I would have to say.

Seems like we've got plenty to me, AC. I'm guessing you haven't been to a 7-Eleven for a while.

We can always patronize businesses that employ our people. It seems that in addition to 7/11's petrol station attendants are also over represented by Indians- also Taxi Drivers- Information Technology. They form an industry "beach head" and invade. But the Equal Opportunity Commission does assist them perhaps as well as state based diversity policies and the UN.
