Greatness cannot be measured, but is clearly seen. The divide caused by politics between opposing parties means friendships rarely cross the divide and the many slights leave a bitter taste. It is unimaginable that Gillard or Rudd would contact a Liberal identity when they had long retired and were facing their final days in a nursing home. Sorry about calling you a mincing poodle or claiming that you were an ugly misogynist doesnt sound right. Yet Mr Howard did not have the style of personal abuse. He wasnt a great friend of Mr Cohen, but respected him, and gave the former ALP Minister a call. And they joked about times past. Leftwing without a matching right Victorias desalination plant, which has produced no water, will have cost $2 billion to Victorians by the end of next financial year. The plant isnt needed because AGW alarmists lied about the science. Meanwhile, ABC claims world is heating substantially, but that it just cant be measured because our instruments arent up to it. According to measurement theory, they should be accurate to within half of one degree with mercury thermometers alone. According to those measures in Sydney homes, there is no global warming at the moment and has not been for some sixteen years. Gillard blames ALP for her failure to support Israel when she was PM. She has previously blamed Jews for not having a strong enough lobby. Maybe if she had shared her slush with them? Plibersek is opposing Shorten over ALP policy. But neither want anything worthwhile for the public. Gerard Henderson collects a long list of ABC bias. Professional activists are costing the public billions of dollars in challenges to public policy. The money could have gone to schools, hospitals .. Foreign affairs Fight for Democracy in Hong Kong shows that Taiwan cannot reconcile while the government is communist. India agrees with Abbott that cheap coal is lifesaving for industry. Bishop wins pledge from Putin over MH17. Legal observers at G20 will be looking at police, but not activists. International fights WHO blames itself for failing over Ebola outbreak. Terrorists claim that Burqa issues are causing them to kill. Them cross dressers become fierce when denied their cover. from 2013 NSW forest fires are a direct result of ALP policy to not back burn. Fires are natural to rural NSW, some indigenous life is reliant on it. Having parks is nice, but being able to coexist and prosper is essential. ALP Green policy denies coexistence. People are dying from out of control fires. hundreds of houses lost yesterday, and it isnt yet summer. Another reason for the rich outback is the substantial rain from the last two years. The outback is very green, at the moment. And it hasnt been safely maintained. Global warming is guilty of: fewer winter deaths; lower energy costs; better agricultural yields; probably fewer droughts; maybe richer biodiversity. It is a little-known fact that winter deaths exceed summer deaths — not just in countries like Britain but also those with very warm summers, including Greece.... Thankfully, although billions of dollars has been spent fighting it, the fight has been ineffective. The planet wont be saved by throwing away money, but it will make Adam Bandt smile. Another fight is that against censorship of the press. This fight is being lead by the left wing mainstream press who favour censorship. The working ALP motto seems to be paraphrasing that of the Australian Democrats Calling each other bastards. There is a press award available for calling Mr Abbott a bastard, but nothing for excellence in reporting news. In the US mainstream press are applauding Obama for failing to act to end the government stand down. Obama failed to negotiate. GOP made their point effectively. Now the press have to massage the truth in the lead up to the mid term elections. === This column welcomes feedback and criticism. The column is not made up but based on the days events and articles which are then placed in the feed. So they may not have an apparent cohesion they would have had were they made up. === For twenty two years I have been responsibly addressing an issue, and I cannot carry on. I am petitioning the Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott to remedy my distress. I leave it up to him if he chooses to address the issue. Regardless of your opinion of conservative government, the issue is pressing. Please sign my petition at https://change.org/en-AU/petitions/tony-abbott-remedy-the-persecution-of-dd-ball Or the US President at https://change.org/p/barack-obama-change-this-injustice# or https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/change-injustice-faced-david-daniel-ball-after-he-reported-bungled-pedophile-investigation-and/b8mxPWtJ or wh.gov/ilXYR Douglas Sutherland-Bruce via David Daniel Ball Mr Ball, I will not sign your petition as it will do no good, but I will share your message and ask as many of friends who read it, to share it also. Let us see if we cannot use the power of the internet to spread the word of these infamous killings. As a father and a former soldier, I cannot, could not, justify ignoring this appalling action by the perpetrators, whoever they may; I thank you Douglas. You are wrong about the petition. Signing it is as worthless and meaningless an act as voting. A stand up guy would know that. - ed Lorraine Allen Hider I signed the petition ages ago David, with pleasure, nobody knows what its like until theyve been there. Keep heart David take care. I have begun a bulletin board (theconservativevoice.freeforums.net) which will allow greater latitude for members to post and interact. It is not subject to FB policy and so greater range is allowed in posts. Also there are private members rooms in which nothing is censored, except abuse. All welcome, registration is free.
