Well lets be generous and say it's satire then. :)

I don't know if that is real or not. I mean clearly its pomposity and willful blindness is amusing, but I'm not convinced the writer meant this to be amusing. The first half is Cottesloe barbie, and then it gets all serious. Maybe I need to read more of the FT.

All my poolers got their 10 SC, (kids x 2 and wife; all red) and I got mine. Happily tipped me into SG

That's a bit harsh. ;)

That all depends on what you mean by patriotic. If its just flying the flag and appropriate coloured bunting then I would say that my old stomping ground would be up there. I'm not sure that you would get agreement from the different flag (or fleg, as we call it) flyers as to whether they're...

It was more the view of the steering wheel and long red bonnet that I was referring to.

I used to have this view. I had to leave it behind when I came to oz. I miss it.

view from my office at PHE yesterday waiting for my chariot home. The ramp agent said it was a baby Antonov.

Any response to that email. Interestingly none of my transactions at Dan Murphy tracked in Sept or Oct. A few claims, using their forms, and they have all been credited now. Maybe there is a growing issue with them crediting.

I just saw this on OzBargain. I think its just an openjaw rtn from DPS to OZ. I'm going have a play around on the Indonesian Qatar site and I'll report back. edit: yeah open jaw return. I am seeing DPS-CDG-PER for $5,500 rtn for two on google flights.

I've used cashrewards for a few years and I've found them to be fairly good. I was mainly using them for Dan Murphys which was pretty straightforward though. I did have an issue with Vodafone a few year ago. I should have had $120 credited to the account but it never showed up. A few months...

That would be awesome, I have a few books in the basket right now

Did you see her, or just hear her?

Well, I know she's Germanic by descent from the Hapsberg (spelling) line. Apparently she also doesn't have a passport.

I think its closer to a big party small party thing. So far all of the people who have been caught up in this are from neither the ALP or the Liberal Party. PHON, the Austalian Greens and the Nationals are the parties that have been discovered. Suggesting that the ALP and Libs either have...

If only that were true. :) I understand and completely agree with your point, perhaps this is worth a broader discussion on polly loyalty and where pressure is applied to them through a brown evelope, seat on the board, etc.

Interestingly this is not a thing in WA, in fact they are quite clear about it https://www.elections.wa.gov.au/sites/default/files/content/documents/Eligibility_Guide.pdf "Note: Holders of dual citizenship are not disqualified if they are otherwise qualified." So I could sit in the WA...

Sure thing. Happy to converse on PM too, if you'd prefer? I'll give you a hollar the next time I'm in the beautiful capital.

Well thats how it has been played out in the press. 'Everyone' thinks its all about religion, but those of us who live, have lived or feel any kind of fondness for the place knows its about more than that. From your posts, I am reading that you have some experience and thoughts on this...
