we're still a lucky country, page-4

My father who fought in WW2 against all our enemies,
would have rolled over in his grave watching they way Tony Abbott operated as an opposition leader, treating Julia Gillard in that disgusting way.

Did you have to grow up with a father who had his right arm shot up being a hero in New Guinea. I was the loving daughter who rushed around the farm trying to help him all the time. Trying to be his right arm help.

You can write all you like of what you perceive as our ideal here, but Australia lost it's lucky country status under John Howard. We might have been laughed and ridiculed before for being Aussie and quaint but we were never hated nor been known as haters until Howard pushed us in to such a position over the refugees, the Tampa and the SeivX.

And his eagerness to go is to Iraq was a tragedy another. And the GST is another due to it's role in marginalizing the poor even more in our society.

Yes be wise about who you vote for. We dont want it done to us again. Lest we forget.
