You guy's have scandals? How quaint that underneath the well heeled veneer Australians have the same foibles as ordinary citizens. Of course everyone knows you can put lipstick on a pig and it's...

I don't think of Australians as anymore, or any less flawed than the US, or anyone else for that matter. For all the headlines and events though there is nowhere I would rather be and grateful for a...

I think if you broaden your perspective you would see that the vast majority of current and past migrants are peace loving people just trying to fit in and make a life. Some slip through the cracks...

What values should I be willing to adapt to?

I never said I personally didn't like communism, or socialism for that matter, they are but forms of governance, practiced by people who were not our best friends, but an all out war would destroy...

Hey Clete, we are more expressive and dramatic, and there are a lot more of us, and we all have opinions. We have grown since those 13 original colonies, and a few million people, and more recently 4...

I've been study your government structure Clete, eerily similar to ours, though the names have been changed to protect the innocent ;), and am curious which party are you affiliated with? I think...

LOL, I totally feel ya Clete!

I think its standard operating procedure for a politician anywhere to bring himself into a better light to the public by dimming the light of his opponents. So digging for dirt or anything they can...

I know that Clete, everybody has a favorite. Down with the other guy, right?

All politicians want to be on the right side of power. That's what they say anyway. Political shenanigans and dirty tricks is nothing new!

Do you guys have CORPORATE welfare for rich guys who suck on the government teat? Righties love that.

Gridlock can be expected as obviously there are enough lefties to destroy the righties lock on power, or the righties screwed up pretty bad last time they made policy, and the electorate need a...

You elected these clowns so what's the problem? When is the next election so you can upgrade to better clowns. If there is such a thing in your country.

You clowns need to hire lawyers.

The OTHER civilizations ain't looking so good either so go figure.

LOL, we have dumbkoffs, you have clowns. So much for advanced civilization.

Do you have a link to the law that makes such an issue of people lineage? I find it incredible that civilized societies can pick who is loyal enough to serve their country. Smacks of the birther...

All this drama and so simple a solution? Are you guys bored or something? The Dufus show is playing in your neighborhood. Keep him long as you want.

On a serious note still sounds like a dirty...

Oh stop taking everything so personally, as your history is the history of all of us, and tracks the same way if not exactly, then very close. I get national pride, got some of that myself, as...

Tal, the aborigines are incapable of handling their own affairs, their method of democracy is that every person should be heard and so nothing gets done, in 60,000 years they never even invented a...

Draining the swamp? Or purging the ruling class with a purity test? Make the aborigines' the ruling class since they are the only ones who can be GUARANTEED to be loyal to THEIR country.

The...

You don't have to change the constitution to get a legislative fix to your dilemma, do you? Well I guess you have to wait before you get the right legislatures elected that WANT to close those...

Self governance is complicated, but you'll figure it out, and tighten up the rules and regulations, as you adjust to this and future challenges. It's an ongoing battle you know trying to stay viable...

Yes they are, but consider, the right wing loonies have always accused the left wing loonies of corrupting the process... and VICE VERSA. Consider also, they both ignore their own lunacy. Its been...

I hope your voters are smarter than ours and can ignore the distraction of personal attacks and get to issues. Drama is fine theater though for the uninformed looney fringe that have plenty of agenda...

You seem to have a process in place for dealing with these unexpected political events despite the drama and hand wringing.

They should all be detained pending deportation in a detention camp with the rest of the illegals!

Like I said... BUMMER!

We just went through a "birther" phase here Clete when Barrack Obama was elected president and his place of birth questioned mostly by Donald Trumpwhomade a huge stink about it. I bet that's where...

Yeah we are barbarian still, despite the suits and cognac. We can pass stuff when its important, sometimes. I blame it on the cognac though, not the constitution. On second thought it's probably the...

Give them a seat at the table. Naw, you could NEVER do that because you would have to listen to their concerns. Only a racist could think that a seat or two according to population would lead to a...

I guess your governing system is imperfect, and needs maintenance, and tweaking every now and then huh? I feel YA!

The sins of the your founding fathers have come home to roost Clete. Don't you learned people have a way to fix your glitch?
