Friday, November 14th, 2008Dear Australian Federal Politicians
re: Australian ISP Internet Filters

Australian Federal Police: Cost of Nigerian Scams
Decimation of the Smart One Thousand
Monday, February 4th, 2008Before you get all concerned about the word 'decimation', read the etymology.
OK, now we see we are getting 10 groups of 100 people thinking (thanks for correcting my spelling, Uncle Mike) deeply about topics important to the future of Australia in a radio-sound-byte year (why not 2022. Nah, 2020 just sounds better)
On the internet side [...]
Fibre to the Dunny
Sunday, October 21st, 2007
(original image)
With Australian Politicians using "Fibre to the Node" and "Fibre to the Home" as election ploys, I think It's Time to raise the issue to a new level:
Fibre to the Dunny.
We should not rest until every Dunny in Australia has Fibre. Face it, that's where the best browsing occurs.

Australian Federal Police: Cost of Nigerian Scams
Thursday, August 23rd, 2007134 out of 139 people in Queensland contacted by Australian Federal Police have fallen for Nigerian Scams. Lottery scams.
They sent a little more than $18 million dollars to Nigeria. That is $135,000 per person.
Accountant, Lawyers, Doctors. Not people you would expect to fall for "get-rich-quick" schemes. I hope their tax, law and medical expertise [...]

We’ll all be rooned
Sunday, January 21st, 2007My favourite Australian poem, "Said Hanrahan", by John O'Brian (aka Patrick Hartigan)
"...We'll all be rooned," said Hanrahan,
"Before the year is out."
This whole poem seems to epitomise the current weather conditions, farmers and a fleeting glimpse of an old Australia, slowly disappearing.
