The sooner they defoliate the Royal National park the better. Turn it into a huge Westfields shopping mall and casino.

Must be easy playing Duelling Banjos with thirteen fingers, eh Gregos?

On a more serious note though..

Good plan, the National Park isnt doing much in its current form, they should release large parts of it to build on!

Nothing will save us from gullibility and greedy self-interest
By Alan Ramsey
Sydney morning Herald, October 11, 2004

A small book turned up last week entitled How to Kill a Country. It was written by three Sydney academics about our "free trade" deal with the United States. They could as easily have been writing about what, spare us, happened on Saturday.
How on earth could we have put this scheming, mendacious little man and his miserable claque back in office for another three years? Worse, how could we have brought them to the very brink of absolute control of the nation's entire parliamentary process and authority?
Very easily, as things turned out, to the cost of the rest of us and our national self-respect.
For almost nine years this Government, incompetent in most everything except mediocrity, debauched its word and the people's trust, along with voters' gullibility, their ignorance, their taxes and, in the end, their greedy self-interest.
It deceived and dissembled about joining us with Washington's military adventurism in Iraq, and it went on deceiving and dissembling, irrespective of the heightened threat to our national interest, to keep our minuscule presence there purely for the political pleasure of George Bush and his cronies.
Then when we reached the one time every three years of a people's audit, 4.6 in every 10 of us turned round and said, thank you, gimme the money and flog us for another three years. Most times, despite the thick and the avaricious and those who feel it's just all beyond them, we get it right as a nation.
Not this time. This time we've really buggered things. A politically immoral man who, by any civilised measure, disqualified himself from public life, has been given a pat on the back and even more power. This time the people's will has got it dreadfully wrong.
Now we all have to pay for the comfortable idiocy of the manipulated minority. And it is a minority: the 46 per cent who voted for the Coalition, or 4.6 in every 10. The other 5.4, in the main, wanted something better, and were denied by a lowest common denominator system in which all the spoils go to a degraded 50 per cent plus one.
I thought we had more brains, more self-respect. I was wrong in thinking enough voters "just might" see through the confidence trickery of John Howard, master illusionist and toad of a human being. I apologise for nothing.
However, don't get snowed by the spin merchants about the size of the Government's win. Howard's real achievement is the Coalition's Senate victory. In the House of Representatives, Labor went into the election with 63 seats, the Government 83, with three independents and one Green MHR.
By midday yesterday, with a bit over 10 million votes counted in an electorate of 13 million, the most likely result, after the doubtfuls are finally sorted, is that Labor will have a net loss of between one and three seats, no more.
Labor's loss was great in votes, not seats. It's primary vote (38.3 per cent) is only marginally better than under Kim Beazley's losing leadership three years ago (37.8 per cent). What is different this time is the Liberal Party (40.3 per cent) out-polling Labor in primary votes (as distinct from a joint Coalition vote of 46 per cent).
That happens rarely: twice only in the Liberals' 60-year history, the last time, ironically, in the Fraser victory of 1975 that buried the government of Latham's political father figure, Gough Whitlam.
Still, Latham's time will come. Believe it.

Cliffs thx (^^^).

One way to make me regret stirring the pot.

Of course, only one part has a monopoly on lying and self-interest. Doesn't it?

But lets not forget, Ramsey is a winner too. And while we're on Ramsey (assuming you're interested: NB: EPIC POST WARNING COMING IN):

brookesnews.com[/url]]A journalist who lied about Iraq abuses also lied about Vietnam
Gerard Jackson
BrookesNews.Com
Monday 17 May 2004

Alan Ramsey, or Ali bin Ramsey as we call him, is on the same rancid level of leftist journalism as Brian Toohey. In You're soaking in it, Mr Howard (The Sydney Morning Herald, aka The Saddam Times, 8 May) bin Ramsey asserted that the "Pentagon kept the lid on the [Abu Ghraib] scandal until nine days ago".

Ramsey is a calculating liar. As I wrote elsewhere: ". . . the abuses at Abu Ghraib had been public knowledge since last January . . . General Kimmet publicly announced on 20 March that criminal charges had been filed against soldiers and that 17 had been 'suspended from their duties until the outcome of the investigations'". This also means that Seymour Hersh's tale that he was the one who exposed a military cover-up is a complete fabrication.

But phony outrage and cold-blooded lying come naturally to fanatical leftists like Ramsey. Clambering onto his high moral horse, never difficult for a lefty, Ramsey accused the media of downplaying or ignoring these events, which makes one wonder what he smokes before breakfast.

What's important here is the hypocrisy of Ramsey and his ilk. In Painful truth in memories of the bicycle padre (The Sydney Morning Herald, 28 April 2004) Ramsey recounts an alleged conversation he had in Vietnam with Gerry Cudmore, a Catholic chaplain in the Australian Army. (Incidentally, Father Cudmore supported the war against Saddam, a fact that Ramsey omitted from his article).

Ramsey claims that Father Cudmore had told him stories of American atrocities committed against Vietnamese peasants. Now I made my own inquiries about Father Cudmore and was told that if he "had had any information about abuses by American or Australian soldiers he would not have hesitated to speak out. That's the kind of man he was". I say was because Father Cudmore recently died.

So the fearless and truth-loving Ramsey decides not to reveal anything of these so-called atrocities until Father Cudmore passes away, thus leaving no one, especially Father Cudmore, to contradict his tales of horror. How very, very convenient.

(Has anyone noticed that Ramsey's tale also maligns Father Cudmore's character by indirectly accusing him of knowingly aiding and abetting atrocities by remaining silent?)

Now what's unbelievable about Ramsey's fantasy is not that he wrote it, or even that his disgusting rag published it, but that some people are stupid enough to believe it. To believe that the pathologically anti-American Ramsey would conceal for nearly 40 years stories of American atrocities surely beggars belief, as does the accusation that Father Cudmore would have done likewise.

Therefore, on the basis of what I've been told about Cudmore, I have no hesitation in calling Ramsey a liar.

The likes of Ramsey always use My Lai as a starting point and a fallback position to support their anti-American allegations. That My Lai was an atrocity is an indisputable fact, that it was an isolated incident is equally true, unlike the atrocities carried out by the Hanoi's communist regime.

Therefore the real story here is that Ramsey, the man who accuses the media of covering up the Abu Ghraib abuses, actively covered up, and still does, Hanoi's systematic atrocities against the people of South Vietnam.

What lying leftwing journalists like Ramsey and Hersh never reported is that what differentiated the US military from Hanoi and its Southern stooges is that while the Mai Lai massacre was an isolated act that appalled the US military, North Vietnam had implemented a vile policy of systematically terrorising the population through mutilation and massacres....

You can get the full-story here.

Just remember kids, make up your own minds. Don't let a few big words from loud mouth lefties shame you into towing the line.

And remember, I love you all.

FTR, I don't drive a 4x4 or a dirtbike. That was a stir. Yum x2.

FMD.

I was wrong on all counts.

The Americans never mistreated the peasants in Vietnam, in fact, they were nothing short of gentleman.

Also, the invasion of Iraq was to liberate the people, there just happened to be oil there. Oh look, oil! No weapons, but lots of oil!

Quote of the day.......

"These are the same people who hate Howard, Blair and Bush with a pathological passion that is on the same level as the Nazis' hatred of Jews"

Um.....yeah.

Welcome to the world of ExxonMobil.

It's just more politically-palatable in todays climate for lefties to dominate the pulpit.

Take it to four-corners and thanks for your time.
