Agreed Slimboyfat and great to get an American perspective on Aussie politics.

Rudds new asylum seeker policy
by barry into the aussies out there what do you think of the government policy to send asylum seekers to png and have them settle there if they are proven to be refugees and if not to be sent home or to a third country.
i believe this policy will definately stop the boats.

Speaking strictly about the people on the boats I reckon it has merit . It appears (if we can trust the media) is that these people fly into Indonesia, which obviously requires a passport, get a Visa On Arrival which is basically a stamp for $25 US, burn their passports and any documentation and pay to be taken by leakey boat which gets a sympathy vote from the media and wait for the Aust navy to "rescue" them.
I used to say let 'em all in until I realised that thousands of poor b*****ds have been waiting after doing the right thing and going to the UNHCR in Malayasia and Indonesia for literally decades. Legitamate refugees who left with nothing except their clothes, rasing their kids until adulthood in camps.
How 'bout those guys rioting a few days ago and burning their camp down as Aust was deemed too slow in processing them. Send them back I reckon.

The lonely skull of a wandering European, found at Taree, NSW
by fulltimestudent inthis is believed to be the skull of a white (european) person, who should not have been where the skull was found.
that's because, australians generally want to believe that the first europeans to live in australia came after captain cook.
that view, is likely to be a bit of jingoistic rubbish, but it serves the cause of white nationalism.

Considering poor navigation knowledge it would be a fair guess that the skull is either Dutch (considering Batavia ((Jakarta)) was a hub of trade for centuries and is just NW of Australia, or Spanish considering the volume of ships attempting to get to and return from South America and all that gold.
In the 40's a rudder from a 16th century vessel was dredged up in this area by sand miners. Actually I saw it laying near the beach in the 70's until the local council dumped it not realising its importance! Also an aboriginal "clever man" in this area had a Spanish cutless when whites first settled here. He refused to say where he got it. Local legend says there is a wreck in the dunes ( and yes ground radar did pick up an image when the story broke in the 80's but was never investigated as too expensive) and that an old rock wall nearby is the remains of a "fort" created by the ship wrecked sailors.

The worry is control of turf. The Hells Angels went to open a tattoo parlour at Burleigh Heads and it got fire bombed before it opened. The Finks parlour got bombed a few days later. I wonder who did that? Also there is no problems getting a pistol, if you have connections. So all the bad guys have guns. At this stage they are feuding amongst themselves but it could (will) spill out.

When I was young there were many more guns but they were the last resort. Men sorted out issues with their fists and nearly always one on one. There was an honour code even in prison. Now these idiots who have been raised on too much TV fire pistols wildly out of moving cars. Just rediculous as you could hardly hit a barn door that way. The bikers are just a front for meth dealing. I worry for my country as life has become a parody of itself....

Yeah if you Googled the Courier Mail it would come up. About '71 or '72. We had a small time drug racket out of Palm Beach. The drugs (just hash etc) would be dropped off ships going in to Brisbane and runabouts would fish the parcels out of the ocean. Geez we were just kids...Seriously all of Qld was corrupt then. You couldn't get a building buit in Surfers Paradise without paying off Russ Hinze and Joh. That is not an exaggeration
