    Here's some money, now go away.

    Last time the courts got involved in the Stolen Generations (the Cubillo-Gunner test case) they got an outcome you wouldn't like: http://www.quadrant.org.au/php/article_view.php?article_id=1397 O’Loughlin J concluded that the evidence did not support a finding that there was any general...

    The official IR reform thread!

    Haha, 2% of Australia's working population attend rallies, and http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,21985,20844871-2862,00.html Apparently pro-union slogans have been painted (vandalised) on the MCG, too.

    Here's some money, now go away.

    I always thought all the Aborigines in Tasmania had been genocide'd. No, we should just let anyone claim some money from the Tasmanian Government. In fact, it may be that you don't even have to be Aboriginal, http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,20867,20800040-5006788,00.html...

    Relationships & HSC

    You people realise that post-hsc (not-uni) day to day life (like, not living with your parents n working full-time n shit) is more difficult and time consuming than being in year 12, right? So you might as well decide to be alone FOREVER!! I mean, forever.

    The Iraq War

    Because it doesn't make for good propaganda, clearly. Most people have no idea that their life is really just oil moving things around so they'd feel some moral objection to a war for oil. That's not to say removing Saddam couldn't have been beneficial to the people in Iraq; it might have...

    The Iraq War

    It's not so much whether the war is for oil, but rather if that's necessarily a bad thing. I don't think it is.

    Al Jazeera not in Australia :(

    5 would be a more accurate number. Although the palestinian granny who blew herself up had 41 grandchildren.

    Australians urged to pray for rain

    Ironically it's another religion, the Green religion, that stops governments building things like dams to help alleviate the water crises. In fact I seriously believe that this will do more to help bring rain, than anything we can do about climate change will help that problem.

    Victorian State Election

    http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,20821643-1702,00.html 21 consecutive defeats for Liberals at state elections. They'll probably gain no more than 7 seats and lose the next election in Victoria too.

    The Iraq War

    Passes WWII indeed. In about one month in February - March in 1945 the USA lost over 6000 soldiers trying to capture a small rock (and they captured the rock), now they've lost 3000 people in 3 years trying to control a whole country and they want to give up. Of course you wouldn't have it...

    2007 State Election - Labor or the Coalition/Iemma or Debnam?

    I think family first get a worse reputation than they deserve, their policies (on their website) are all fairly vague, the only controversial thing is really the compulsory internet filter idea. At any rate if you wanted to go that way the CDP are better, less left-leaning economically and no...
