And of marriage but I don't know about the girl I just remember her, skinny in a white dress. I must have been about 6.
    Yeah, Kez's mum ended up pregnant.

      It was a different world back then........or was it?

      Has Gina, vocal critic and funder of the No campaign, publicly distanced herself from the opinions her father expressed?

      If war is the answer........... it must be a profoundly stupid question.

            The sentiments can be easily found today.
            I feel like I need to wash my hands after watching that.

              With the whole Ben Roberts Smith saga and especially the support he has gained from powerful places within Australian society i had a thought as I was waiting for my coffee at the local beach coffee shop.
              They say cream rises to the top. Ok it does but so does other stuff. Some turds float........ and many 'success stories' are paved with those who were trodden all over by winners in pursuit of success and those winners are often ( not always ) the most effective at the whole process of treading on others. Like minds attract so this might in some ways explain the support Ben Roberts Smith has attained and there seems no shame for those who have been caught up in this saga. There are rarely penalties for this type of rogue behaviour.

                Kathleen Folbeig pardoned unconditionally. Science caught up with the evidence, but the prosecution has a few questions to answer.

                      I see a report that Oz is thinking of sending 41 F-18 fighters to Ukraine. Nothing but woke stories in the ABC. If you want to know about anything but the news that matters, go ABC

                        Crickets chirping. Silence from the rusty reds. Another rate rise due to inflation. A Treasurer who has been beating the drums for wage increases.... and denying there's an inflation impact.

                        Morons. But fear not, there will be announcements galore to give the impression that things are being done - things to right wrongs (that only exist because people don't get off their own arse).

                        Interesting to see Yabsley on the Drum. He was a client 30 years ago - I pulled out of a $40k project that he was Minister for, at $8k in.... because circumstances were such that a result wasn't going to be there.

                          I really shouldn't watch Utopia. I don't at all find it funny after some years in politics way back and I guess that's the point. It just makes me mad because I know it's just an extension of reality.

                            One of the Mean Girls is in trouble again. Misleading Parliament, perhaps?

                                I'm having a visit to my old winter stomping ground, Falls Creek, vicariously via a dreadful Jacki Chan film
                                I was working there where it was shot, know all the places, skied around the set, knew many of the extras. Some of the crew stayed in our lodge.
