I don't now what quality the Alpine forest is Now because of the too frequent bushfires. There's a lot of Plantation "Radiata"pine which in treated form is used for a Lot of House frames. America's forest quality leaves ours for dead. Cedar is all but gone. Silky oak coachwood, etc also. Pin Oak makes a good timber. A lot was planted in Armadale in NSW I have a few Mature ones here on my block that I planted. They drop a lot of leaves and I am 1500 ft above sea Level. at 36 degrees Lat, so they thrive. No diseases and they don't drop branches, IF you prune them correctly there's no sign of where the Branch was left in the Bark.. Nev

Didn't someone say "Donald,...... DUCK" when he got his ear shot the first time?

Erosion by wind and water continues to degrade the soil in this country Plus widespread salinity caused by bad Irrigation Methods. Add the effect of rabbits Cane toads and imported Weeds and there's nothing at all to be proud of, here. Our top soils are thin and Low in carbon. Superphospate increases acidity (lower Ph) and native gums do not like it. Nev.

I think I have tried to point that out B4 re the risk of Legal redress. The Number of Liberals who Lost there Position due to Fraud etc while holding Ministerial portfolios FAR exceeds that of Labor. Working for the rich elite who have the wherewithal to show gratitude more effectively is responsible for that. R.J.Hawke was influenced by Murdoch and Peter Abeles who shared the Ownership of Ansett . .Nev

I May Contest what some Have Written and that Must be allowed. Its not the same as Labelling someone eg "resident Leftie and worse" in an attempt to devalue or nullify their Contribution which has Been happening frequently Here Lately and I have rightly protested it being used as , as I've attempted to point out many times, It's NOT good for this Forum which is PUBLIC and belongs to Ian Baker. It's not ours to use as a free for All pile on to someone you don't like but obviously would NOT KNOW from a Bar of Soap who might be too close to the Bone and truthful at times. This is NOT pPrune, I Hope There's a lot of Selective Perception and Projection Going on Here. I will always ANSWER for what I write but not for what you may think I write. Too ready for the Gotcha Moment? You won't find the Wood for the trees if you do that. Nev

What's THAT supposed to Mean? Nev

The Govt's are elected fairly and Please read carefully what I say if you wish to respond thoughtfully, Not just Sloganise stuff straight from SKY or such. There's plenty of various types of crime anywhere. Where else would YOU rather Live Brendan? (at the end of the day all things considered.) That's the Point I'm Making. Nev

Saying that sort of thing is a bit disrespectful don't you think? Does it advance the argument at all? IMHO Marty is one of the Last people I would accuse of living UNDER a rock. Perhaps one could ask Honestly what other Places are doing it a whole lot Better? I went across Melbourne's North east suburbs this Morning Laden trucks are everywhere. Fuel is at all Petrol stations at lower Prices than they were. No crime or Violence No rude or Bad driving. STOP Bl@@dy Whinging and get on with your Lives and be thankful Perfection is an illusion. Stop dummy spitting Over the Lib/ Nats self imposed failures. They got what they deserved. Time to rebuild and stop throwing blame around. The only Poll that counts IS on election day. We have FAIR elections although the Media is all one way, bar a few small and struggling notables. I don't want to Be anywhere BUT HERE. All things considered. Nev

What about the NAZI-copying extreme right wing stirrers? Are they acceptable? P Hanson uses and stirs raced Based Hate to get support. That's a Pretty $#!t Modus operandi. and it's worked for her for 30 years. she just changes her Target race now and again. She seems hardly able to Put 6 half a dozen words together. How could SHE represent Us as Leader on the World stage and not appear ridiculous, and an embarrassment just as Trump is (only worse) What is Her level of education . Most people in Parliament these days have some Tertiary qualifications. And don't call ME a snob. I hate them. I believe Australia should become a Republic sooner than Later. Nev

Trump will NEVER come to Our Aid. That's the reality. He's trying to weaken the EU. To Get rid of a significant competitor. The Bloke is a Stand Over Man, through and through. He wants to deny China Oil. Do you recall why Japan went to war? USA cut off its Oil and Rubber starting in the early 30's. Nev

It IS PART of the story and in using Serb/Croat situation as your example, you have the Most extreme circumstances where they had had a very nasty Psychological and murderous War in living memory of a lot of the Population. Nev

The ones we haven't YET cut down and it can Never correct for what we use in fossil fuel Burning. Deserts are growing. Jungles and Rainforests are receding. Nev

Big pile on about Nothing much. Trump should be accountable for his Lies and Making Money out of being the POTUS AND being a....The list is too long to write and More Americans are waking up to the damage HE has caused and will continue to do so Unless He's stopped. He is getting desperate so expect more Outrageous Illegal actions against any group or Individuals He doesn't like. It's going to be a hard road for the US from here. . Nev

You reckon I twist things Brendan. Read what YOU actually wrote. This lefties thing is SSOOo Trump. How about you Just Knock off doing it Eh? Deal in facts, Not Name calling. Lift your Game. Nev

Football is like a god , to some people. They become Irrational. Nev

It's a CULT thing that the USA seems to thrive on.. Nev

That wouldn't do much for your efforts. Nev

But it's not available to DO as Oxygen does, so it's purely academic.. nev

There are Mixtures and compounds. When it's a Compound you can't just squeeze it and get water out. nev

Opposites side of the brain DO control other side MUSCLES, NOT the way a person THINKS, GON. Congratulations on About the silliest thing you've said so far. It's a real beauty. I believe in credit where it's due. Nev

Most of the best stuff is already DUG. Burning coal and gas easily compensates for the O2 in iron Oxide(s) and converting the Ore to IRON uses COAL (Carbon) in a Blast furnace. Not all ores are oxides. Nev

If Very ordinary ( lack of) Intelligence doesn't finish us off first. Nev

ALL FACTS!! Too rare here. Congratulations. Nev

Serbs and Croats are famous for that .They had a bloody war. The English football fans in Europe are NOT a class act either. Nev

Yeah and Murdoch's covered it all up to help them eh! NOT B Likely!. Your facts there are VERY suspect and you wouldn't be a bit biased.? Of Course not. Your mob needs to get it's ACT together and THEN it Might be Worth voting for. Right now it's at risk of obliteration. Nev
