Politics and Culture - American Profiles In Radical Independence

“I do not want my house to be walled in on all sides and my windows to be stuffed. I want the cultures of all the lands to be blown about my house as freely as possible. But I refuse to be blown off my feet by any.” ~ Mahatma Gandhi

David Hicks to be Home by October

February 22nd 2007 12:42

It what could only be described as a completely cynical political exercise it is seeming quite likely that John Howard will push to have David Hicks returned to Australia before the next election.

Both Howard and Attorney-General Philip Ruddock have been raising the issue of David Hicks and have been expressing their feigned outrage at his long detention without trial

Rudd catches Howard chasing a ball outside off-stump.

February 14th 2007 15:39

Last week John Howard was looking like Ricky Ponting was after his sides defeat late in the qualifying rounds of the recent one-day series.

Howard nicks one to slips

Sure he had loss a few games to his opponents but Ponting seemed to put it down to the “if you play a lot of cricket you are bound to lose a few games eventually” and he appeared supremely confident that when it came to the business end of the series the “best of three’ final that his superior form and his experienced team would comfortably win out in the end

What do Americans think of John Howards comments?

February 12th 2007 08:46

As an Australian I would like to ask Americans who view blogs on Orble just what they think of Australian Prime Minister John Howards comments on Obama Barak and the democrats and how he believed that Al Qaeda would be hoping that they won the next Presidential election.

I have my views but I would really like to hear from some Americans. What do you think? Do you care what John Howard or Australians think for that matter?? Please tell me

Who would Osama Bin Laden vote for??

February 12th 2007 08:37

John Howard proclaimed yesterday that members of Al Qaeda and its leader Osama Bin Laden would be hoping for a victory for U.S. presidential candidate Barak Obama but one might think if Osama was in the polling booth he may well cast his vote for a republican who cares to continue with aggressive US military policies.

There has been no better recruiting tool for Al Qaeda then continual footage of Muslims being attacked and killed by US lead forces and with everyday of continued US presence in Iraq along with other countries such as Afghanistan and Somalia as well as continued threats to Iran the line-up to join such organisations grows longer

Palm Island Death in Custody Case continued..

February 7th 2007 12:14

The situation in Queensland following the finalisation and subsequent recommendation to charge Snr sergeant Chris Hurley with the manslaughter and assault of Mulrunji Doomadgee in the Palm Island Police station has been a tense political stand-off between the Government and the Police force.

Retired Justice Sir Laurence Street was asked to review the evidence used by the Queensland’s Director of Public Prosecution in deciding that Sergeant Hurley had no case to answer for the death of an Aboriginal man in his custody despite the States Deputy Coroner having found that Hurley had caused the death of the man

Queensland Liberals Spineless Deal!

February 4th 2007 13:01

The Queensland Liberal Party has revealed itself this week to be both spineless and inept in its dealing with the majority seat holder in opposition, the National party and has treated Liberal voters with distain.

In a decision that flies in the face of all accepted convention in the Westminster system of government that Australian parliaments have modelled themselves on the Liberal parliamentary leader Dr Bruce Flegg has announced that regardless of which party (Nationals or Liberals) wins the most seats at the next state election and if this was enough to give them a coalition government over Labor the Liberals would accept the current National party leader as premier

Brisbane people to start drinking piss!

February 4th 2007 04:25

Its official! We here in Brisbane and the rest of south-east Queensland will be drinking recycled sewerage water by the end of 2008.

Queensland Premier Peter Beattie announced a proposed plebiscite on wether we wanted to drink it or not will now not go ahead.
