Have we learned nothing from the movie "A Few Good Men"?

Have we learned nothing from the movie "A Few Good Men"?

Australian people say “We want the Truth”

ADF say “You can’t handle the TRUTH!”

Legislation should be introduced banning organisation(s) commissioned to represent and defend “The Ideals and/or Values” of Australia(ns) being run by FRATERNITIES. They invariably become a "Law unto themselves" and "unaccountable" to the people they pro-port to represent.

All the best,
Chris Petersen.

A Walk With Grace


One day I walked, I walked and saw, I saw a sight, the sight I saw, the day I walked and saw.
The day I walked, I walked and heard, I heard a sound, a sound I heard, the day I walked and heard.
The day I walked, I walked and touched, I touched and felt, and felt by touch, the day I walked and touched.
The day I walked, I walked and tasted, I tasted a taste, a tasty taste, the day I walked and tasted.
The day I walked, I walked and smelt, I smelled a smell, and smelt the smell, the day I walked and smelt.
The day I walked, I walked and pondered, I pondered a thought, in thought I pondered, the day I walked and pondered.
And now I sit, I sit in wonder, at the wonderful gifts, given to me, by God the day I walked.

Could somebody please explain to Julia Gillard the purpose of a Carbon Tax.

So Julia Gillard thinks she has the right to impose her will of a Carbon Tax on all Australians and our trading partners. Well let us examine her credentials about having that right.

  1. Became Prime Minister by stabbing Kevin Rudd in the back. (NOT ELECTED BY THE PEOPLE)
  2. Is now only Prime Minister in a MINORITY GOVERNMENT by winning 4 VOTES. (THE GREENS and 3 INDEPENDENTS) Yet on a 1 vote 1 value basis WOULD HAVE LOST THE POPULAR VOTE.
  3. SHE THEREFORE HAS NO MANDATE TO MAKE ANY SWEEPING CHANGES TO ANYTHING!
  4. Wants to introduce (WITHOUT A MANDATE TO DO SO) a Tax on the use of Carbon Polluting resources, and then give the money back (by way of hand-outs) to off-set any price increases. (THEREBY DEFEATING THE WHOLE PURPOSE OF THE CARBON TAX IN THE FIRST PLACE).
  5. The woman just CAN'T BE TRUSTED. Just ask Kevin Rudd and anyone else who heard her assurances (PROMISES) prior the the 2010 Election.
When the Coalition introduced the Goods ans Services Tax, they went to an Election with it on the table and out in the open. They therefore had a Mandate from the people of Australia to do so. Julia Gillard has no such mandate, she barely has the right to collect existing taxes and pay the countries bills.

A Carbon Tax (if it is to achieve the desired result) SHOULD MAKE THINGS THAT USE FOSSIL FUELS MORE EXPENSIVE! It would thereby make less/non polluting sources of power/energy more attractive and affordable as an alternative. The mere idea of giving money raised from the Tax back to off-set the rise in the cost of using the taxed fuel IS LUDICROUS and self-defeating.

Julia, give us a Carbon Tax where ALL money raised from it goes to Renewable Energy research and development and subsidising clean-energy usage and installation. DO THAT, AND EVEN I WILL VOTE FOR IT!

Australian Pride (the song)

Australian Pride (click on link to listen to)

Lyrics below


AUSTRALIAN PRIDE 
written and performed by Ricky Street (KRIMPER)
I get a buzz watching Jeff Fenech swing, he got a passionate heart…
Fight with Azumah, me old mate Don King, scammed the man with the gloves
And I watched him fall, tears in his eyes, “I Love You’s All” a true champion’s war cry…
And it always hits me deep inside, I’ve been brought up with Australian Pride
We’re a mixed bag of people, a bloody good crowd
Take the flag round the world, fly it high…do it Proud….

Fred Hollows gave with a smile and a joke, he had compassion to spare…
And I’d a been honoured to meet such a bloke, gave sight to the blind everywhere
He knived in the sun to give ‘em a start, for the kings to the bums all equal in his heart…
And it always hits me deep inside, I’ve been brought up with Australian Pride
We’re a mixed bag of people, a bloody good crowd
Take the flag round the world, fly it high…do it Proud….

You know I like to listen to John Williamson’s songs, he got merit in his heart…
Goin’ round the country swaggy ‘n thongs, expressing what most of us can’t
He’s in Love with the land he sing about you too, a passionate man we all know him as the Emu…
True Blue, And it always hits me deep inside, I’ve been brought up with Australian Pride
We’re a mixed bag of people, a bloody good crowd
Take the flag round the world, fly it high…
And it always hits me deep inside, I’ve been brought up with Australian Pride
We’re a mixed bag of people, a bloody good crowd
Take the flag round the world, fly it high…do it Proud….
