Nah Issy, GPS these days no compass, get with the times.
England was a monarchy, then a republic, then a monarchy again. All you need to go from one to the other is a sharp axe, does the trick everytime! Posted by Paul1405, Friday, 10 December 2021 3:54:39 PM

Paul,
Get with the times? A navigator needs a compass for when the battery in the GPS goes flat. Anyone care to point out which sections of the Constitution are now out of date? So far the advocates for a Republic seem not to have read the Constitution. Posted by Is Mise, Friday, 10 December 2021 4:17:44 PM

Issy, its all explained in the following link.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMuh33BMZYY&ab_channel=thecomputerdude24TV%26MovieClips When we get our new hot shot nuk subs, we should power the GPS systems with Eveready Energizers and not some cheap Chinese garbage from The Happy Dollar shop. Sorry they're nuk powered, how silly of me. Posted by Paul1405, Friday, 10 December 2021 7:02:11 PM

The debate over Section 44 of the Constitution which
has seen Members of Parliament leave Parliament and threatened to bring down the government has shown that the document has outlived its use-by-date. Admittedly it is a sad reflection on Australian society that it was not until the Constitution threatened the very comfortable livelihoods and privileges of Members of Parliament that people began to say the Constitution was a bit of a joke. There are so many sections that need reform and so many things that have been left out. For example the original inhabitants of the continent who have never ceded sovereignty don't even rate a mention. Australia's founding document does not contain a Bill of Rights. It does not provide individuals with freedoms and legal safeguards. This means governments can pass laws without considering whether they infringe upon citizens' rights without worrying about legal consequences. We need to abolish what is irrelevant to us and was written in the horse and buggy days - and start again. And we do have constitutional experts to be able to do it.

Section 44 is relevant and shewed that it is needed, it also shewed that many MPs hadn’t read the Constitution or if they had, didn’t have enough brains to understand it.
I seem to remember a Referendum, under the Constitution, that included Aboriginal Australians in with the rest of us and gave them equal rights. Or is that an example of ‘horse and buggy days’? Speaking of such days; a local council paid around $94,000 for a street sweeping truck but it can’t clean the gutters where there are parked vehicles, it was purchased from Germany, uses imported fuel and fuel additives etc. Now compare with the horse and cart that was previously used. One man operation (same as the truck) one horse who moved after the sweeper who could clean behind parked vehicles, cart built with local timber, fuel grown locally, tyres made by the local blacksmith, hub grease sourced locally, if needs be, exhaust products recyclable and no processing required as locals would pick it up for their gardens. Just like our Constitution, still relevant and a better option than anything else available. I recommend that all read the Constitution and understand it.

Foxy’ s infallible support.
Some how she managed to complement Banjo at around 9.00 am for answering a question that he didn’t answer till after 11.00 on the same day; not only infallible can see into the future as well.
That’s the end of Lotto as we know it.
