I am sorry to interrupt folks but I couldnt see any other threads about asylum seekers and immigration. Just wanted to give my 2 cents worth and maybe start to contribute to this thread as I really am passionate about this whole entire topic. I will start by telling you all that I can probably...

I have used all 3 companies over the years. I did a five week Discover Europe tour with topdeck in 2011 and had a ball. We actually had two days in most cities and it was well planned. We would do an orientation tour on the first day and on the second day we would have a free day to explore...

Interesting. I have to admit I was overseas when this article was written so I didn't see it. I am naturally a supporter in small government, except when it comes to health/obesity. I hold this sort of issue close to my heart.

Thats amusing as I think Rupert was stuck right up Ruddies backside in the early years.

Can you show me evidence of where Tone has done that since he was sworn in?

Ideological payback? No I call it making adjustments and pursuing their mandate. Stopping the boats, the national broadband network, the carbon and mining tax stuff? Remember what a mandate is? You know...you get elected to do SOMETHING other than talk about yourselves constantly and hold...

I said reduce it Gough, not get rid of it completely. I know if people wont work and don't receive government welfare payments surely some will turn to crime, of course that will happen. No-one wants that. Whatever happened to the idea of not dealing in cash with these types but only...

Possibly, I call it adding to medicare and their existing duties. Tone did say this government wasn't going to be about political philosophy.

I am an ardent critic of Social Services/ Centrelink and the like. It actually infuriates me! No-one minds short term unemployment. Get laid off due to cut backs in your company and what not and it may take you 3 months to find full time employment again so you need some government assistance...

You are not far off having a good idea Docker Clint. I think subsidising gym membership for obese people is a good start and putting tax's on foods classified as 'bad for you' just like we have the alco pops tax is also a start. Maybe even something like the old private health insurance rebate...

I agree and I don't Swingdog. Yes, lowering obesity levels will take more than a fit and active PM. We need to subsidise gym memberships for obese people and put tax's on food which is classified as unhealthy. I know we pay for obese people to have lap band surgery but its only half a...

Australia is a multi cultural society and we should expect to be represented like that in parliament. I could be considered bias as I do not have an anglo celtic name, my grand parents arrived here in 1949 from Europe. I was sent to a Church of England private school based on the quality of...

A mountain out of a molehill much? Can I also say 'what a load of crap!' If Tony Abbott wants to attend community events and promote good health and fitness then I am only too happy to pay his travel allowance/expenses as a tax payer. Have any of you taken a look around your local...

Just got back from good old Hongkers! My second trip there and I still love it. We stayed in Kowloon- Tsim Tsa Shui to be exact. We stayed on Canton Road, at the Marco Polo. Awesome hotel and the waterfront down there is amazing. I had wayyyyyyyyy too many cocktails there but fun is fun! We...

Seafood laksa with steamed snow peas and broccoli. Also had a couple of nojito/mocktails. YUM! YUM! YUM!

Cales just done himself a big favour today. Thought his game was fantastic! I hear they want him for the long term which is great. Another preseason and he's set!

Fantastic regarding Morton. The kid has a lot of talent and he's really playing good footy at the moment. Would hate to see him not reach his talent. Is anyone broadcasting the game on the radio?

I don't agree with your entire post but I like your sentiments! :-)

Love the bloke and adore him! Just devastated. I'm going to miss him!

Morton Morton Morton He's got to be in your team. He definitely adds something even when he's not kicking goals (defensive pressure, structure and good old fashioned know how of how forward lines should work). Can I just say how amazing your footy club is? You have shown Morto how to...

Nothing wrong with the short back and sides! ;) Heheheheh!

Morto finished the game off. I'm 100% sure that he's fine and available for selection against Port. I was concerned at half time about Mitch and was relieved to see him fire up in the 3rd quarter. He's quality and best attribute has always best that he'll fire up for 20 minutes in a game and...

Devastated :-(

Never fear Mitch Mortons hear!!! Poor Reidy :-(

What comments are they lock? Where can I see them?

He was actually backing into packs and marking contests and his physical game was better on the weekend. It wont be long and we'll see him in the team and then the DEE's will see what could have been. Give him 12 months at a decent AFL club and then judge me thinks!

I actually like Morton and I'm just glad he's using his body and backing into packs. Thats a good thing for him, the kid has potential and just needs to show a physical presence. Backing into packs during a marking contest is definitely a good step. Next he gets his tackle rate up and then...

Swannies, do you mean Morton was backing into marking contests on the weekend? :) Awesome!

He's definitely too good for NEAFL and reserves! I wish Horse saw what we all see!

It's interesting that Mitch Morton is on exchange bench for ressies, perhaps a late change?
