  1. Insurance companies= parasites,insurance is big business they make more profit than banks and every time thier is a flood or fire up go the rates ,a friend in brisbane has had her house go under in the last 2 big floods here , her bill this year is $30,000 she has a very ill husband who wont be here by xmas,and she is retired her house has been rebuilt but is now worth 500000 less no one will buy it in the flood zone near the uni, the insurance co are PARASITES
  2. Correct OME he always wanted to be a lawyer but getting experience as a tradie gave hom leg up to the union, 10 years post apprenticeship gave him real experience, this what got him this job, he is now 33 years old and has a wife ,mortgage, 2 very young boys(i love my grandkids) and studying , has a lot more energy than i LoL , he is his own man , politics, and ideas as he should but we do have some heated debates , i am proud of what he has achieved (as well as his sibling Hannah) and when he gets his degree in law he wants to go into social justice law
  3. My son (one half of twins ) left school and became an apprentice boilermaker, did a few years after he qualified in fly in fly out now studying to be a lawyer 1 more year to go , his job is a union rep on $150g a year plus car plus super plus plenty of leave , boilermakers in Brisbane are on 75 to 85 g a year , thats a big disparity in wages, tradies are still underpaid

  7. The israelis have every right to kill bomb maim destroy gaza hamas is a terrorist extremist mob the people who support them are complicit with hamas the Israelis have very good military and being surrounded by extremist countries who want to exterminate them i will not blame them for destroying gaza , muslim countries seem to hate the Israelis why, even indonesia who are thousands of kilometres away from the middle east i support them in every way

  9. If we look at the members on both forums we are in the older age bkt, not many young people get on board Rec flying and it seems that is waning apart from Reds pics of aircraft not much is happening there , no new homebuilt guys putting their aircraft up(including me ,but thats another story) lots of peoples community markers but i dont see any input from these people, i log on every day and although i dont participate in all discussions i do like to read them all, there is a political side creeping in, at my house family gathering's there is NO religion, politics no unions discussed these topics are all tribal and cause a lot of arguments, most forum users are respectful about other users inputs even if they dont agree, i have my own ideas and thoughts about the Voice but keep it to myself, i find religion to be outdated an naive very chidish, and politics needs to be put in the rubbish bin. I have only met 3 users of the forums and will try and meet up with more over time anyway have a great day all of you Cheers gareth

  17. The indigenous peoples get a lot of gov money through the various corporations that are managed by indigenous peoples, i have worked in various places in aus every state,and can sya that most of the local aboriginal in these areas were family people who worked for a living , bringing their kids up with education and good family life , the disadvantage peoples (indigenous and white) who dont have thes advantages have allways been left behind ,pouring money ito it seems to not get the results require, so the voice somehow ,magically will change this ,indigenous people have for me allways been part of Aus nothing will change with this voice , they have representation at Federal and state levels of government, the voice will not change this, i recognize them as my fellow Australians , nothing more or less its a NO for me

  20. My father who served in WW11 in Burma,India,Singapore ,Java told me a story of captured Japanese soldiers that had committed crimes to local villages they were tied to a tree and had mortars fired at them, do we call that a war crime, yes but consider the locals who wanted instant justice ,he also told me that the Japanese were the most cruel of soldiers and as he said "we took no prisoners " during the war ,he was also a hangman at Sentosa war trials for an extra 2 shillings a day , different times but war does change people
