Not even multinational, just us. There's no point beating about the bush here- the island nations on our fringe have difficulty governing themselves. We should invade and develop them ourselves- developing the most lucrative industries (oil, fishing, tourism etc) and making them as...

I suppose there would be a greater level of equality among the unskilled, in that all would be paid the same shit rate.

See tonight's CHaser? LOL the bank robber head sack fashion statement! and "Australia's Brainiest Non-Asian Kid, Australia's Brainiest Penis!"

But that is totally historically inaccurate, you can't combine a Roman helmet with a katana. And doing so will only enable the 'walker' to glean information on your interest in historical items from the Classical period, and you will be targeted for the marketing of ancient gladii and pila!

Indeed. Perhaps we should consider imposing an Australian bureacracy on them. With an Australian governor, we could develop their oil infrastructure and use the money to cover the cost of a continued deployment of Australian security personnel and to finance a public works scheme for Dili.

The role of the police should be making full use of their discretionary powers when it comes to issuing innocent 18-year-old commuters with train fines. Really, how in fuck am I supposed to pay a two hundred dollar fine?

Ok Fu Manchu, so we've established that Persians are distinct from Arabs, but I still fail to see how Persian culture is under threat from some sort of Islamic Imperialism. The Persians willingly deposed their Shah and installed that Grand Ayatollah chap as their leader, a full and complete...

Unlikely. Unless an employer is a liberal idealist eager to prove the worth of individual agreements over collectively-bargained ones, there is no compulsion to increase the wages of staff higher than the amount previously agreed to collectively. There was nothing to prevent an employer from...

I accpet your correction then. You really studied the question Are Persians Arabs? What modern nation-state best represents the 'Persian'? Iran? Parts of Iraq I imagine? And ANU is the best for such a subject? you did say French roots.

I know that, I was correcting the other guy. You cannot deny the presence of French culture in modern-day Lebanon though, but indeed, the Gallic ethnicity does not originate from there. No really, you can. It's a bit disparaging, but everything acorss the Hellespont can be called Asian.

Persians are Arabs. The rise of Islam was centuries ago, its appeal spread throughout the Middle-East and was readily taken up by the masses. You make out like Islam crushed some sort of distinct Persian culture. The Greeks crushed Persian culture. You are idiotic! French roots?! You suggest...

Are you prepared to run the risk of instead having to sign an individual contract compelling you to a lesser wage, conditions etc?

This Liberal Government has proved its raging incompetence once again. Our first casualty in Iraq, just one, and this government can't even bring the man home. Instead we've got some dead bloody Bosnian. How dare they entrust the transportation of our slain countrymen to a rag-tag bunch of...

Re: Does Australia have a culture? Absolutely correct. If your culture does not exist in the neighboring lands, unite the Greek cities and wage a victorious campaign into the Persian Empire, suppressing their culture and enforcing Greek Hellenist culture.

You don't know who Laurie Oakes is, yet you profess yourself as the people's voice as though you command their opinion. With your credibility, I can claim that the majority of Australians love Rudd and adorn their door frames with his portrait. You think Australians embrace Downer? Oakes...

You don't speak for the people. You may think the latter, but in my opinion Rudd does a fine job as opposition spokesman for Foreign Affairs. Well that's a stupid statement. 'Governments lose power eventually', what a revelation. How about a more meaningful contribution next time? I enjoy...

If we annex the island and grant the inhabitants Australian nationality, there would be no legal ground for refusing them entry to the mainland. A mass exodus would be likely which would leave the islands de-populated. No matter how determined the effort at building infrastructure and...

There is no plan for an invasion of Iran, if there is it exists only in the mind of the most insane hawk. The talk is of an overnight strategic bombing raid taking out key nuclear facilities. The question is how extensive the raid would be: whether to restrict the attack to nuclear intallations...

You don't know that. The money saved from cheaper labour is probably added to company profits. The girl's income loss could be offset by having the price of juice reduced, but then she would have to be a heavy consumer of juice for any real effect to take place.
