Why not focus on celebrating, promoting and researching our indigenous heritage instead of a whaling crew from the U.S. This sends the wrong message.

Mine Mine Mine Mine Mine Mine Mine Mine Mine

One has to ask, were the Aboriginals bored making rock art, also waiting for fish and game?

One of the most? No. A significant find yes. Burrup and others far more significant.

Perhaps Sydney graffiti will be valued as culturally significant in the future

Decision on medivac bill to be announced Tuesday | Sky News AustraliaA decision is expected to be announced on Tuesday on whether Labor will support the controversial medivac bill that gives doctors greater powers to transfer refugees to Australia. \n\nBill Shorten's Labor Party is under pressure to abandon its support of the bill amid official advice that suggests up to one thousand refugees could arrive in Australia within weeks. \n\nLabor has spoken about the importance of ministerial discretion, indicating it may support the relevant minister having veto powers on all medical transfers.\n\nImage: News Corp Australia \n\n\n\n Oh boy - they had better NOT! They will be tied to the Greens and the Greens haven't got a grey cell between them. A leader who calls himself a Doctor, when he isn't registered, a woman who takes her sick child out of school then takes her (tax payer paid) to whale watching. Why did the Labor party get 2 x donations from the ATO? Donations are not rebates!!! You know he's going to bail on it. He has no choice. Even if he wanted to he won't because he'll do anything for votes. He's gutless and always has been. I bet he wishes the election was a month ago. Slowly but surely the wheels are turning against this fraud. He's done.

How do you find 'the one' in a city of millions?Searching for a soulmate in a city the size of Sydney can be daunting — on Valentine's Day, five couples swap stories about how they met, and their secrets of staying together. “She was one in a million - so there 5 more just in New South Wales” The Whitlams . I hope all the young kiddies out there note that 4 out of 10 Aussies voted against same sex marriage. And that's with many not turning out to vote due to the very public yes campaign. Just because I don't wish them ill-will, it doesn't mean that it is natural or normal.
