On a positive note:
I caught this on Landline last night -

I thought it was a step in the right direction.
A step away from the 'All men are rapists and abusers' narrative anyway.

Hi AC,

Thank You for the link.

Truly positive.

Thanks AC.

Foxy, Paul,

I did not respond to your last childish quibs and slurs as I felt it best for the readers to see what kind of people we are dealing with.
Also when I am expelled from OLO I will have recourse for redemption and the cause of my more questionable behaviour and comments.
Paul, in response to your drivel about me being a "millionaire blue collar worker".Apparently I was wrong so, I have decided to take you seriously, and in the interest of truth and clarification, I'll explain yet again.
From a very young age I worked on projects and designs of my own creation, evenings and weekends, based on the mantra, "I LIVE TO WORK and not "I WORK TO LIVE'.
And I loved it!
So if you have a focused and mature mindset to succeed at something and you are born with a particular talent, it isn't very hard to profit from it, without ripping people off as is the norm today.
So Paul if my wealth and success is bothering you, it's not bothering me, in fact I'm quite happy and settled seeing as how I am not reliant on the govt for anything, (and yes I paid my taxes as per the tax laws) How about you?
So to further refresh your memory, I live in a rather unnecessarily large house with too many bedrooms and oh yes, even kitchens.
We live on the coast near a very prominent marina, (sold my last boat, as I did not use it much and I don't much like the ocean)
although I still own a 30 odd foot Scarab (you know like Miami Vice) that's been parked up because I can't be bothered to put it in a out of the water, might get around to selling it too one day, if I can be bothered, or I could give it to one of the boys if they want it.
Now let me not forget the aircraft, plural, fixed and rotary wing (helicopter to the plebs), got bored with flying so got rid of the
last one.

cont...........

Now as to the cars you find so irritating, yes your right I have had too many cars to mention, mind you I could not keep them all for lack of storage space, although the new house I speak of on the coast has a approx 400sqm garage comprising of the footprint of the house as it is built on a sloping block, obviously sloping towards the coast.
It can park ten cars comfortably.
Unfortunately I have a few more than that, not all Rolls Royce's and Bentley's of course.
I won't bother elaborating as I feel you've already left or gone to sleep.
But suffice to say, Yes I have done well, and of my own doing.
If you find that confronting or feel threatened or sidelined, that is of your doing and opinion, just the same as your rancid opinion of my so called hate speech.
I hope I have clarified yet another misnomer you both suffer from.

ALTRAV, how "pleased" you must have been to see a young progressive Aboriginal woman, Tara June Winch, take out the prestigious 'Miles Franklin Award' with her "fictionish" book 'The Yield'. Alas with only 50 copies and 150 holds at Brisbane City Library it might be some time before I get to read it. Then again I could borrow your copy when you have finished with it. Fat chance!

BTW, a good read is Melissa Lukashenko's, 'Too Much Lip' last years winner, and another outstanding female Aboriginal writer. Another fat chance!

Can't say I have ever watched this program of yours 'Miami Vice', sounds like trashy rubbish watched by mindless morons. BTW, what channel do you tune in to get this program for yourself?
