Jyan Bon,I feel your pain.
When all talks are useless,all reasonable offers are refused, and Burmese victims are dying by the minutes,only "strong,non-violent"tactics will work:US does the air drops,UN just march in ,no permission from the junta is needed.Too simple and naive?maybe but when you are suffocated,only the simple air…
Well ,I can do very OK with 250 Australian dollars a week plus government subsidises here and there if I live in my own house and look after only myself.My parents are all pensioners and they never complain but I guess everybody is different to everyone else.I often think that…
"all the more so because of the number of Aussies and Kiwis I've met over the years "...did you ever talk to Chinese Australian,Vietnamese Australian or Arab Australian,Indian Australian...?You may encounter different kind of opinions altogether.
Australian public?Some do ,some don't,some simply don't care...etc.You know politicians ,they are clever;otherwise how can they run a free and democratic country with so many different opinions ,interests from so many people of different cultural backgrounds like multicultural Australia?

"While welcoming the support, the Chinese government suggested that aid would be confined to supplies and money, not foreign personnel."...this does not sound very friendly,full of suspicions but if China can handle it alone,it is OK;best of luck for China.However the same can not be said for Burma because it…
Two things:1-New Zealand drops out from joining Australia to proscute Japan for whaling in Antartica at an International Court,reason given:too expensive.2-Numbers of whale-sightings in Australian East coast has increased quadrupple(4 fold) in the last decade.May be whale numbers is on the way of recovery,thanks to environmental conservation effort of Australia…
