oz citizenship ala j howard I notice a magistrate up North has praised an Australian citizen before his court on an assault charge for doing whatever a " red blooded Australian" would do when confronted with a personal life situation ie assault the person thought to be responsible! Praise from the Court for assault!!! I wonder how a pacifist Buddhist applying for Australian Citizenship would answer a possible question in the John Howard " mateship qualifying stakes " which asked " What should a red blooded Australian do when confronted with a mateship or sistership problem?" Is the correct answer "Thump the bastard!"..Seems so if the judicial system is a reliable reference point in this country! Well thumpers welcome..... but peaceful people hmm?
