"They are very good people, they've worked very hard and they don't deserve what's happened to them," the PM said as he addressed sugar farmers in the marginal seats up north last week .
Don't you hate it when Canberra thicktanks knows something they clearly don't .- and they treat you like ignoramusus's as they pat you on the back and say " your'e a good bloke - but work harder and if your smart " get out"

Why are we still at war ?

 And even in our own country.  We pray for peace in the Middle East .  Let me first say that as both a very practical geoscientist and student of history and philosophy (because it can direct the former to more productive and rewarding ends) that planning is my first love and i hope to see REGIONAL and all thinking people drive a return to it .    Am I mad ? I will ask the sheep and the cat   and the donkey too might but in ---- I hope .  It's our children's future and despite inheriting the best planning principles from our own history .Australia is now like many parts of Europe......... one of its COT cases .
