  1. The TOPIC is ME conflict and the debates in the Parliament are recorded. Public Service is Not elected. The most Important things for a Functioning Democracy (a) A free and fair Election Process. Checks and rules applying to any Money donated or spent, A GOOD honest Press which is Not a fully incorporated arm of the Liberal Part and NOW PHON Otherwise why not Cut out the Middlemen/women) and let Gina and Merdey run the Country directly, Nats have been all about Fracking and mining Not Farms etc as they once were. Follow the Money trail That will find out who calls the shots. Nev
  2. Depends on the throws of a steam engine. Double acting at 90degres gives maximum starting ease for Minimum complexity. Steam tug motors were triple expansion double acting. I can't see how triple expansion starts easy though.. Nev
  3. Why would you want to? I personally don't believe in any raced or religion based discrimination, or superiority but the Afor mentioned group aren't travellng that well for a lot of reasons so consideration of WHY might be the real issue. Nev
  4. Geez, that's Profound. Nev
  5. That was Bob Hawke who I was never an admirer of.. How about BACK to topic? Nev
  6. The dispute there was whether it was a TAX OR a Price ON carbon. Looks like my Posts here are in Invisible Ink. Nev
  7. They accelerate like Racing cars. How long they can do it for depends on the Battery size and charge. Nev
  8. I'm not very Proud about some if the things Britain did earlier on The Early Navy was a Bunch of Pirates that Gave a lot of their Spoils to the Crown and later broke a lot of Promises in the ME and drew arbitrary Boundaries that Caused endless strife later But they did a heroic job of resisting Hitler in a situation which looked Hopeless to many with the Meagre resources they had at the time. Churchill described it as "Never before Has so much Been owed to so few" , Hear Hear!!. Nev
  9. Possibly. It would depend on your intent and in what context you wish your statement to Apply. 4th Aug is designed to apply to a specific group of Individuals." Everybody Other than" is terribly Non specific and Philosophically one could ask what is the particular obvious Need? I imagine it would be a question PHON would raise, or maybe already HAS. The Purpose there would be that of a Stirrer. Nev
  10. That's when they were Over Paid, OVER sexed and Over Here. The Iranians might be able to use it but I guess the Great SATAN covers it for them.Nev
  11. The already rich and wanting to be much richer would wish to increase GST which hurts the POOR the Most and creates Heaps of Paperwork. Conservatives wish to increase it. Maybe we end up like the UK, A dead hand on everything at the rate they have. IF I was da King I would abolish it. Tax should be imposed on those who can afford to Pay it, Firstly. Nev

    Brain Teaser

    standing ovation. Nev
  13. Empty Words pete, There are Policies out there as far as Labor is concerned and Probably the Greens. The other two it depends on who you ask. Nev
  14. We expect the Government to do more and more things but not have to Pay any taxes to pay for it,. Compared to many/most other Places WE are actually not doing too Bad. Poor leen and Murdoch would have you believe we have the worst government in the world. BTW SKY is now News 24 but they haven't put THAT on the front Page. Nev
  15. She's there for Gina and Murdoch . Her ardent backers. That's the Main reason I wouldn't even consider voting for Her. She's also a BIG stirrer who answers to no one A Trump admirer in the extreme and not that Bright and a "Would be if she could be". . She's a monster risk to Australia's relations with other Countries. Nev
  16. Semantics really. ARE you saying just COP it? Selective information and long posts are tedious to counter. .Personal attacks are Coward's bully boy tactics. Few would do it to your face. You can't really KNOW someone from their on line presentation very accurately. People get put inboxes to discredit their input. I'm not at all threatened by people with Knowledge. I'd welcome more of them, but why would they bother to come here? Nev
  17. The FACT that Trump swore not to start such overseas Wars/Adventures will Probably be the Most significant ACT in bringing his inevitable demise ON. Nev.
  18. You (or I) have to be Permitted to defend ourselves No? Separate (verb) cause and effect and don't victim blame if it all becomes unpleasant. No one likes Blues, and I am very aware of that.. I don't desire to continue this BS with Jerry. Why can't HE just Leave it at that. He obviously doesn't CARE what I think about it. THAT should ring alarm bells. I've been Pleading for Proper debate and discussion for ages. Here we take funny stuff too seriously and make jokes out of serious stuff. A lot of very good Posts get destroyed. I thought it's for Pilots predominately. It SAYS "The Home of Aviation for ALL Pilots", on the other site. Will someone Please inform me if that is now not the case, and IF I've been Laboring under a Misconception, if hardly anyone is interested. Nev
  19. A joke that has a victim is not funny. Its an assault. The action of Bullies.. Good argument should settle the discussion and One has to be entitled to express any considered view that is not vindictive. I will defend my hard earned reputation.. I'm fact seeking and Safety Orientated.. I'm probably the Most attacked Person on this site at present. Why is that and why are people frightened to support me? THAT should not be happening... Nev
  20. Don't blame me. I'm the One asking for it to cease.. Nev
  21. You can't hold a seat in the Parliament of Australia IF you are a DUAL citizen. It's probably simpler IF you aren't one. British Citizens living here did not receive the Pension. What a cop out by the British Gov't? Nev
  22. red. how can you be sure that Link is safe? Nev
  23. You don't know when to shut up and resort to sarcasm. Kerang was THE big accident Of course it's in the Country. My Vineyard wasn't that far from it. You think you have found a weakness in my argument and you are flogging it for all it's worth I wouldn't attempt to Know a lot about UK or London because I don't LIVE there.. The More I say the more you use it against ME. It's a contest with you. Not a discussion.. Let's just stop now shall we? It's Pointless.. Nev
  24. Yes, but not when you are driving. You would know much better than I (DO) whether you are sleeping the sleep of the Just. WELL you can . You've JUST done a lot of mowing. I'd like to be able to have a Deep sleep More often. Nev
  25. Water freezes at Zero C but other things in the sap raise the freezing Point, like antifreeze. Christ said "You have Made my Temple a den of thieves. They were using some form of tokens. ( Early Bitcoin? ) Cluneys-Ross used his own form of money to Pay the Copra workers on Cocos Islands. It was worth nothing anywhere else.. Nev
