Not surprisingly the left have attacked an article that raise questions about the ambulance supposedly hit by an Israeli missile during the most recent Middle East war.  When Downer quoted the article on Zombie it was just too much for them. “What concerns me greatly is the evidence of dishonesty in the reporting out of Lebanon,” [...]

It all started with a $77.00 speeding fine and has mushroomed to a reputation destroying journey through the press. Marcus Einfield, once a hero of the human rights mob, has put into practice what he preached….life is all about rights, not responsibilities. He claimed someone else was driving his car on the day in question…oops [...]

My Vietnam almer mata was the 7th Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment (7RAR) (could media types note the correct nomenclature) and whereas yesterdays’ announcement by the PM that we are upgrading the Army by 2, 600 men, mostly infantry, will be discussed long and hard by the media and a host of  professorial type armchair [...]

You may recall the ambulance in the Israeli/Hezbollah recent dispute.  You know, the one that the Israelis ‘deliberately’ rocketed…at least that was the view of the world media. Personally, when I saw the pic of the missile hole through the roof I instantly dismissed it as bullshit and went on with life. How could I have [...]

I have posted previously on the All Blacks and their dreaded Haka; in fact the last post on the subject had a pic of them doing the Haka all outfitted with handbags.  In the interests of sportsmanship I feel I should also post on the following ‘Press Release’ from the IRB even though deep down [...]

For those of my readers who tried to leave a comment over the past week and failed I apologise - even if the comment was an attack.  The problem has now been fixed with a Word Press upgrade and all should be OK.    

Hezbollah sinks Aussie ship…or did it. Andrew Bolt catches them out. I’m not surprised.

A DECISION to ban development in the World Heritage-listed Daintree rainforest has outraged landowners, who castigated Peter Beattie on talk-back radio yesterday during his visit to Cairns. On Monday, the Douglas Shire Council passed a planning scheme to prevent people who bought freehold blocks in the Daintree 20 years ago from developing the land, bringing [...]

Let’s get it down to one single line…no legal arguement….no human rights lawyer input; Jihad Jack should be in gaol. The Australian carries more verbose articles; one by David Flint and an editorial that says the same thing under the banner Jack Thomas’s freedom is a victory for our enemies. It is too.

It’s now Sunday and I’ve recovered sufficiently to feel confident enough to write in complete sentences. I spent the day with Percy Meredith, a digger in Recce Pl 7RAR with me in Vietnam. The previous evening I found a photo of Percy and printed it out for him. As he showed everyone he met I [...]
