			<description><![CDATA[G'day all,<br />
<br />
Weather on the east coast of Aussie lately has been storms, flooding rains, gale winds, giant hail etc.  <br />
<br />
Different from when I first moved to the north coast of NSW 11 and a bit years ago.  Kinda reminds me of Darwin during the cyclone and wet season.  <br />
<br />
We have had several thunder storms pass over lately and last evening was no exception.  About 8pm the storms rolled in from the south.  Bit of a boom crash opera.  <br />
<br />
Strikes around the house and the yard  in rapid succession.  The house shook and cracking electrical noises echoed inside. Quite blinding light, zap/boom.  Blew the land line out.  Glad I've cleared around the area.  One particular strike was followed by cracking and crunching noises.<br />
<br />
Rained heavily all night.  Now, I'm not frightened of the odd thunderstorm and do like a light show but this one was off the scale.  <br />
<br />
Woke up this morning and checked the back yard.  Sure enough lightning had struck 2 trees in the yard.<br />
Shrapnel in the form of timber splinters up to 4 meters long were scattered about with some over 2 meters embedded into the ground and sticking upright.  <br />
<br />
The bigger tree, an 'Iron Bark' Eucalypt, bout 60 feet tall shading the chook shed suffered a hit from top to roots and was interesting to view as you could see the route taken by the bolt which carved a crevice out.  No burn signs.  This tree is about 50 metres from the house and a piece about 3 metres long speared into the ground travelling 50 metres in a different direction.  Iron Bark is a solid, heavy timber with one of the highest strength ratings.<br />
<br />
I took some pics which actually don't really do the scale and distance justice.  (Cheap mobile phone).  Scared the crap out of the rooster who didn't surface till late afternoon.  Knocked the peg baskets off the clothes hoist. <br />

			<description><![CDATA[Summer is here.  But this summer where I live it is very humid, raining/storms most evenings and very wet.  House, particularly in the toilet and laundry is very damp.  Underground water coming up.<br />
<br />
So the creepy crawlies are coming indoors.  I have sprayed. (Bug spray you retrobates).<br />
<br />
"Story now  bally."  - Okay, when I go to put on my shoes or crocs this time of year, I turn them upside down and tap them hard.  Gets rid of any nasties that might be inside.  I have scored on several occasions with spiders, bitey ants, centipeids and even a wasp. (Shit!).<br />
<br />
This morning I gets up.  My crocs are under xmas tree near where we sleep in this warmer weather.  I look at them.  Thinking..tap them...Yeah, nah and puts them on to go heat the kettle up.   Bang.  Some thing biting and crawling on my right foot.  Crikey!!!  Kicks them off and out comes this spider.  Not big but ain't a juvenile.  Lucky for me it was a harmless type (Not fatal) but still got me.  "Fuck, fuck, fuck, shit, bum poo weeeee!!!" Hopping around.<br />
<br />
Spider makes a break under the pool table.  Dogs do a runner as I'm yelling.  Foot is stinging.  I wash it.  Bit of blood, not much.  Damn.  Bite mark on the foot starts swelling, redness.  Itchy as eff.  <br />
<br />
Made a cuppa.  Iced the foot.  No one here with me.  No car ( True love at work).  Waiting, waiting.  Started doing the dishes.  Painful but okay.  <br />
<br />
As I type this, truey has come home, all is good.  <br />
<br />
Moral for Bally.  "Tap yer footwear inside the house from now on stupid."<br />
<br />
Having a run of bad luck lately with the mowers, car and worst of all the outside above ground pool which  was over flowing in the rain.  I jumped to to clean it and boom!!! .  The result is another story. (Suffice to say, my weight didn't help.)  True love pissed her pants as I surfed down the back paddock.<br />
<br />
<br />
Kind regards,<br />

<span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">Goodbye beautiful Australia- how can they let this happen??!!</span><br />
 <br />
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">Muslim family has eleven children (Australia)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">Breadwinner is the Fertile daughter</span><br />
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">This story is from a doctor in Melbourne...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">So, where do you think it will all end, OR, when do you think our governments will wake up !!!???</span><br />
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">The new breadwinners in Australia:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font"> </span><span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">Here is how a doctor explains it:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">A woman in her late 20's came to the hospital today with her 8th pregnancy.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font"> </span><span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">She said to me "My mum told me that I am the breadwinner for the family."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font"> </span><span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">I asked her to explain.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">She said that she can make babies and babies get money from the Government for the family.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">It goes like this:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font"> </span><span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">The Grandma calls the Department of child services and Centrelink, and states that the unemployed daughter is not</span><br />
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">capable of caring for all of her kids.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font"> </span><span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">They agree, then tell her the children will need to go into foster care.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font"> </span><span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">The Grandma then volunteers to be the foster parent, and</span><br />
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">receives a cheque for &#36;400 per child each month..</span><br />
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font"> </span><span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">Total yearly income &#36;72,000 and soon to be more when</span><br />
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">the 8th one is born, tax-free and nobody has to go to work!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font"> </span><span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">In fact, they get more if there is no husband/father/man in the home! The brother does not count.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font"> </span><span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">Not to mention free dental treatment, free housing,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">free school dinners, free tuition fees at college or Uni, free eye care and glasses, free prescriptions and various other benefits...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font"> </span><span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">Total value of all benefits combined probably approaching &#36;120,000 per annum.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font"> </span><span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">That's about my salary as a senior consultant with years of</span><br />
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">experience and surgical skills in a Melbourne teaching hospital.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font"> </span><span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">Indeed, Grandma was correct that her fertile daughter is the "breadwinner" for the family</span><br />
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font"> </span><span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">This is how the politicians spend our taxes.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font"> </span><span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">When this generous programme was invented in the '60s, the Great Society architects forgot to craft an end date, and now we are hopelessly over run with people who vote only for those who will continue to keep them on the dole.....</span><br />
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font"> </span><span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">No wonder our country is broke!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font"> </span><span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">Worse, our Muslim brothers have been paying attention, and by mandating that each Muslim family have eleven children.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font"> </span><span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">They will soon replace the voting bloc above and can be running this country in around 12 years.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font"> </span><span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b"><span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">Are we alarmed yet, is anybody listening?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">Please know I am not racist nor am I against Immigration, I</span><br />
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">just worry where this uncontrolled sort of immigration is going to take this wonderful country.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font"> </span><span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">There must be limits and controls in place or in around 12 years or less we will be going to midday prayers at the local mosque.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font"> </span><span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">That's a simple fact of life my friends. They clearly intend to force that upon us.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font"> </span><span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">Sincerely,</span><br />

<span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">Muslim family has eleven children (Australia)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">Breadwinner is the Fertile daughter</span><br />
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">This story is from a doctor in Melbourne...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">So, where do you think it will all end, OR, when do you think our governments will wake up !!!???</span><br />
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">The new breadwinners in Australia:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font"> </span><span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">Here is how a doctor explains it:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">A woman in her late 20's came to the hospital today with her 8th pregnancy.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font"> </span><span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">She said to me "My mum told me that I am the breadwinner for the family."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font"> </span><span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">I asked her to explain.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">She said that she can make babies and babies get money from the Government for the family.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">It goes like this:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font"> </span><span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">The Grandma calls the Department of child services and Centrelink, and states that the unemployed daughter is not</span><br />
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">capable of caring for all of her kids.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font"> </span><span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">They agree, then tell her the children will need to go into foster care.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font"> </span><span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">The Grandma then volunteers to be the foster parent, and</span><br />
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">receives a cheque for &#36;400 per child each month..</span><br />
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font"> </span><span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">Total yearly income &#36;72,000 and soon to be more when</span><br />
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">the 8th one is born, tax-free and nobody has to go to work!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font"> </span><span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">In fact, they get more if there is no husband/father/man in the home! The brother does not count.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font"> </span><span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">Not to mention free dental treatment, free housing,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">free school dinners, free tuition fees at college or Uni, free eye care and glasses, free prescriptions and various other benefits...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font"> </span><span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">Total value of all benefits combined probably approaching &#36;120,000 per annum.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font"> </span><span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">That's about my salary as a senior consultant with years of</span><br />
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">experience and surgical skills in a Melbourne teaching hospital.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font"> </span><span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">Indeed, Grandma was correct that her fertile daughter is the "breadwinner" for the family</span><br />
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font"> </span><span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">This is how the politicians spend our taxes.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font"> </span><span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">When this generous programme was invented in the '60s, the Great Society architects forgot to craft an end date, and now we are hopelessly over run with people who vote only for those who will continue to keep them on the dole.....</span><br />
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font"> </span><span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">No wonder our country is broke!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font"> </span><span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">Worse, our Muslim brothers have been paying attention, and by mandating that each Muslim family have eleven children.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font"> </span><span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">They will soon replace the voting bloc above and can be running this country in around 12 years.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font"> </span><span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b"><span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">Are we alarmed yet, is anybody listening?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">Please know I am not racist nor am I against Immigration, I</span><br />
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">just worry where this uncontrolled sort of immigration is going to take this wonderful country.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font"> </span><span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">There must be limits and controls in place or in around 12 years or less we will be going to midday prayers at the local mosque.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font"> </span><span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">That's a simple fact of life my friends. They clearly intend to force that upon us.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font"> </span><span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">Sincerely,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">Sebastian J. Ciancino - Obstetrician,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">Melbourne Vic</span><br />
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">Don't forget to pay your taxes!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;" class="mycode_font">There are a lot of “breadwinners” depending on you!</span></span></blockquote></blockquote></blockquote>

			<description><![CDATA[No!, You're The VOICE! Aussie Referendum Talk!<br />
<br />
Disclaimer: I'm a 50yr old gubba [aboriginal word for a white, hence 'government', guy] and I was BORN in Australia ok!<br />
<br />
Explanation: There is going to be a federal political referendum on the 1st Nations Indigenous Voice To Parliament in Australia in October 2023.<br />
<br />
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/6m2m_9Uijso" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="true"></iframe><br />
<br />
And I would like to dispell some things about both the Yes  and No campaigns about the Voice To Parliament ...<br />
<br />
Firstly here are the online PDF pamphlets for both the Yes and No campaigns sourced from the Australian Electoral Commission ... [CAUTION: It's a PDF file, therefor load at your own risk ok!!!]<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.aec.gov.au/referendums/files/pamphlet/your-official-yes-no-referendum-pamphlet.pdf?=v1.0" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">https://www.aec.gov.au/referendums/files....pdf?=v1.0</a><br />
<br />
Personal Disclosure: I have read over 50+ news article about the Voice To Parliament in the past 3 weeks and I have partaken in a 2 hr long philosophical and political debate about it with up to 10 other Australians, held at the Woden Library here in Canberra, 1 week ago.<br />
<br />
I AM A HARD NO VOTER! ... And here is why ...<br />
<br />
It is this simple ... YOU ARE THE VOICE ... and through your LOCAL FEDERAL MEMBER, you have a say, aka A VOICE, in the FEDERAL AUSTRALIAN PARLIAMENT ALREADY!!! <br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.directory.gov.au/commonwealth-parliament/members-house-representatives" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">https://www.directory.gov.au/commonwealt...sentatives</a><br />
<br />
<blockquote class="mycode_quote"><cite>Quote:</cite>What is a federal member?<br />
The term member of parliament generally refers to a member of the House of Representatives, although it can also refer to a senator. To become a member of parliament you need to win a seat in a federal election. There are a number of requirements for enrolling as a candidate in a federal election.</blockquote>
<br />
<blockquote class="mycode_quote"><cite>Quote:</cite>What does a local member of parliament do?<br />
A Member is expected to be a spokesperson for local interests; an ombudsman and facilitator who deals with concerns about government matters; a law maker; an examiner of the work of the government and how it spends the money it raises from taxation; and a contributor to debates on national issues.</blockquote>
<br />
Hence there is NO NEED for the Indigenous Voice In Parliament level of redundancy, that will be limited to indigenous 1st nation people only, dividing the country along racial lines constitutionally forever more!<br />
<br />
If that is not working then VOTE THEM OUT OF OFFICE!<br />
<br />
“What we need in Canberra is ears, not a Voice.”<br />
(Senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price, Shadow Minister for Indigenous Australians and Warlpiri woman)<br />
<br />
@All-Australians: We're ALL Australians, as covered by and under the Australian Constitution ALREADY! ...<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.aph.gov.au/constitution" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">https://www.aph.gov.au/constitution</a><br />
<br />
This is regardless of ones race or culture, as Australia is both defacto multiracial and defacto multicultural in nature!<br />
<br />
Some facts ...<br />
<br />
Australia was CONSTITUTIONALLY Federated and formed in 1901 not 1788! So anything that happened prior to Federation is not covered by FEDERAL LAW!<br />
<br />
Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islanders already receive more than their fair share of Federal tax funds ...<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="mycode_quote"><cite>Quote:</cite>The Australian Government directly spends around 1.5 times as much on Indigenous people on a per-capita basis, or 1.64 times as much if indirect spending (via transfers to the states and territories) is included (calculation based on IER 2017 supplementary data tables). </blockquote>

Story by Amber Schultz • Sunday</a><br />
<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="mycode_quote"><cite>Quote:</cite>McBride is facing a jury trial over the leaking of a cache of documents to the ABC shortly after his discharge from the ADF, which formed the basis of its 2017 “Afghan Files” investigation. The subsequent Brereton Report found credible evidence of war crimes committed by Australian special forces, with 39 murders, executions and allegations of torture.<br />
<br />
McBride faces five charges relating to the unauthorised disclosure of information, theft of Commonwealth property and breaching the Defence Act, and could face up to 50 years in prison.</blockquote>
<br />
<blockquote class="mycode_quote"><cite>Quote:</cite>McBride was forced to drop his application for protection under whistleblower laws after the government moved to quash the testimony of two of his key experts on public-interest immunity laws.</blockquote>
<br />
<blockquote class="mycode_quote"><cite>Quote:</cite>McBride’s lawyer Mark Davis also said he saw no joy in seeing Schulz arrested.<br />
<br />
“What occurred in Afghanistan was a result of the deliberate policy of commanders and the Canberra military bureaucracy to be blind to the actions of their soldiers in the field. It was an unparalleled dereliction of duty or avoidance of responsibility,” he said.<br />
<br />
“[Schulz and McBride] are both facing prison. Where are the ministers facing prison [and] where are the generals facing prison? Both McBride and this man could feel that the responsibilities should lay at their feet.”</blockquote>

So yeah ... nahhhh, Ima not gonna accept this crap!<br />
<br />
I would never interfere with a trial, which is currently ongoing, but I currently reckon that McBride is being stitched up and has the chances of Buckley's and none in getting off these charges 'lightly' if at all.<br />
<br />
So I gotta pull a battle plan outta my arse and prepare for the worst ...<br />

Story by Amber Schultz • Sunday</a><br />
<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="mycode_quote"><cite>Quote:</cite>McBride is facing a jury trial over the leaking of a cache of documents to the ABC shortly after his discharge from the ADF, which formed the basis of its 2017 “Afghan Files” investigation. The subsequent Brereton Report found credible evidence of war crimes committed by Australian special forces, with 39 murders, executions and allegations of torture.<br />
<br />
McBride faces five charges relating to the unauthorised disclosure of information, theft of Commonwealth property and breaching the Defence Act, and could face up to 50 years in prison.</blockquote>
<br />
<blockquote class="mycode_quote"><cite>Quote:</cite>McBride was forced to drop his application for protection under whistleblower laws after the government moved to quash the testimony of two of his key experts on public-interest immunity laws.</blockquote>
<br />
<blockquote class="mycode_quote"><cite>Quote:</cite>McBride’s lawyer Mark Davis also said he saw no joy in seeing Schulz arrested.<br />
<br />
“What occurred in Afghanistan was a result of the deliberate policy of commanders and the Canberra military bureaucracy to be blind to the actions of their soldiers in the field. It was an unparalleled dereliction of duty or avoidance of responsibility,” he said.<br />
<br />
“[Schulz and McBride] are both facing prison. Where are the ministers facing prison [and] where are the generals facing prison? Both McBride and this man could feel that the responsibilities should lay at their feet.”</blockquote>

			<description><![CDATA[Hello all.  2nd attempt at this.  <br />
<br />
Had the story all ready to send and suddenly everything went blank.  Please bare with me again.  I'll save as I go. <br />
<br />
So, take 2,  Listening to the Aussies -v- South Africa = cricket test<br />
<br />
 1/.  I like cricket.  2/.  I watch the test cricket on the big screen.  3/.  My son bought me a radio for xmas so I can listen in the garden and elsewhere. 4/. I tuned into ABC "Australian Broadcasting Commission" A radio station sponsored by the Government.  Live commentary.<br />
<br />
So the match ended early with the Aussies winning.<br />
<br />
The program went to issues as is normal with ABC and while cooking dinner I listened on.  <br />
<br />
One issue was the wearing of 'possum' fur/skins by aboriginal elders during ceremonial occasions. (possums are a protected species)   (I have no issue with this)  (We have aboriginal skin names and family) but the respondent to the journalist stated - "The Govment gave us blankets laced with smallpox instead" alluding to the fact of Genocide.  Gobsmacked! I was.  <br />
<br />
Don't from now on give the Aboriginals any blankets or perhaps anything else of the like nature au gratis.  <br />
<br />
What a stupid statement to make and the ABC ran with it.  No further questions or request for qualifying statements.  "BLANKETS LACED WITH SMALLPOX???"  On or about 6.50pm today EST.  <br />
<br />
Maybe a rant but this is Australia mate.  <br />
<br />
I cannot grasp the reason for this assumption.  Smallpox?  Give me a break.<br />
<br />
Anyway, my Australian ABC story.<br />
