Sri Lanka should take responsibility for its shit

Sri Lanka should take responsibility for its citizens who are scared of life in that country. Why should other nations bear the brunt, financially and psychologically, of fixing Sri Lanka's awful record of social discontent. For every penny we spend on taking care of displaced Sri Lankans, the Sri Lankan government should be debited in a global ledger.

China is Australia's close neighbour

Australia needs to draw China into a more cooperative regional arrangement where China helps to maintain stability in the areas of pirates, natural disasters and people smuggling. It is natural that China is viewed as a natural partner to prevent obstacles to trade, weapon and people smuggling, and in assisting neighbours in times of natural calamities.

Connick and 'dumb sluts'

Australia has gone mad! All this muck about Connick and 'dumb sluts' ... now poor old Kamahl has finally entered the argument that could have passed into oblivion had not Channel Nine regurgitated the incident over and over and over again. Shiree would not have lasted a second in my business had she said what she is alleged to have said. There are thousands of Indonesians and Samoans who are in need of our attention, and all we do is to concentrate on ... TV skits and employees abusing employers.

Schapelle should be allowed to come home

I must register my belief that Schapelle Corby is innocent. Look for motive and it is difficult to find one that fits the pattern [profile] of drug smuggling. The continued incarceration of Ms Corby is itself a crime, considering the state of her being and the benefits to both Australia and to Indonesia of such incarceration. It is time for Schapelle to be allowed to come home. Does anyone seriously think that keeping her in jail will serve justice?

John Howard: Referee for the NRL

Oh! This is classic! Wait for it ... imagine the headlines splashed across the Telegraph in years to come: 'Forwards Overboard!' ... 'The NRL has no intention of introducing a General Service Tax on Reserved Grandstand Seats.' ... 'The NRL will determine who will enter Australia to play the Kangaroos!' John Howard may have been a lousy player but he'll make a decent referee. I welcome the move.

Lebanese Aussies are Aussies

Lebanese are as Aussie as I am and my people invaded Australia at the beginning of the 19th century. I stayed in Lebanon recently for a few weeks and boy! Did I get a warm reception, merely because I was Aussie. And what do we do? Lock up Vietnamese Aussies for a few years cos they're 'different' ... treat our ethnic Aussies as if they are polecats.

TONY ARCHER: RUGBY LEAGUE CHEAT

Archer's role in Rugby League has to be the subject of a thorough investigation. Not being a Parra supporter allowed me the wondrous element of neutrality in yesterday's Grand Final. I respect both teams and Melbourne clearly were the better team and deserved their win. But throughout this season, including the contentious Origin games orchestrated by Archer, referees have moved from positions of officiating to domination and influence. We cannot prove rumours of Archer's integrity or lack of it, but we can see how this referee has shifted he run of the game according to his dictates and we are not convinced Archer is true to the game.
