The rest of the truth about Australia;
We are descendants are thieves, murderers and rapists.
The government isn't interested in what the people have to say, only in approving their own pay raises. State and federal politicians earn at least 3 times the minimum wage for a third of the time worked by low income earners, and get a retirement pension, which has been removed for anyone born after 1970 something. This is why Australia is, and Western Australia in particular, is one the highest taxed countries in the developed world.
Anything brought locally (within Aus) has at least 20% of import taxes on it.
We were promised income tax would be dissolved after the introduction of the GST.
66% of Australians voted to become a republic separate from the commonwealth in 2000, this decidtion by the people, was overturned by then Prime Minister "John Howard", a devote monarchist. Also the same wanker that brought in the GST.
The Queen slut of England, if I remember correctly, receives 1 cent of every Australian dollar taxed in Australia.
West Australia is considered to be a police state by most Australians who have visited or live there. Last time I was pulled over, it was a cocky fat pommy copper, and some Danny Glover look-a-like that kept looking down at me. A note for WA'ers "You can get charges dropped in court if you know some basic laws that apply to police only;
"One officer must stay in the car to call for backup if required, they cannot leave the car until you leave." Does not matter if there are five officers crowding around you, one must be in a car with the doors closed and windows up.
If the police are following you, but have not pulled you over, and you turn a corner, pull up and turn the vehicle off and take the keys out, they cannot legally pull you over, as you are not driving.
They cannot touch you once you have pulled up into a driveway and removed the keys, even if you fall out the car blind drunk when you open the door. Naturally this means they cannot search the car without a warrant.
When driving undercover cars, an officer with rank lower then detective, may not pull anyone over legally unless in dark blue or white "whole" coloured car.
An officer must first show their badge before proceeding with any legal mumbo jumbo or anything actually.
Please enjoy fucking the pricks over with this information, if anything is wrong please correct, as to help get the best help against a corrupt government and police.

I propose this: all men promote rape because they have penises. As long as a man has a penis, he poses a threat to the integrity of the children and would-be raped people. The only solution is that all men give up their penises. We must cut off men's penises.

Well, who wants to start with those in the Australian government?

I pay ~$100 AUD a month for bundled landline and 1.5mbps/256kbps (Theory: 192KB/sec down, 32KB/sec up. Reality: 180KB/sec down, 30KB/sec up.) 65GB/month (25GB Peak/10am to 2am, 40GB Off-Peak/2am to 10am) ADSL1 40-odd clicks outta Wagga from Westnet.
'Course, having the bulk of the plan between 2am and 10am local time makes it easier to MMO or B.Net with folks over in US & UK.

It would have been already if so many people weren't too poor to upgrade their machines to dirt-cheap quad cores and $100 graphics cards that are "Crysis-ready".

air aids pedophiles as well too! omg!

Of course criminals might take advantage of it giving them the false veil of being safe when in reality its not.

But don't worry about that man, worry about the head of White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs. His idea of fun is to monitor everyone's comments on websites, and if they are "objectionable" the website and you will be held responsible for them.

1984 anyone?

Why do we have to be subjected to 24/7 government spying into our daily life just because some soccer bitches are too frightened of scary brown people overseas?

Just because some dumb gullible hicks are pissing themselves over something that has less of a chance of killing them than the beer that they drink, cars that they drive, or weather patterns in the areas that they live in doesn't mean that we should all allow ourselves to be put under the lens of a camera and be monitored 24/7.

Sure let's shred the document giving us our freedoms to protect ourselves from the boogeyman. We have to burn the bill of rights and the liberties enshrined in it to protect ourselves from the terrorists that want to take our liberties...GENIUS!

Question: You don't want the government watching you 24/7? WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO HIDE!!!

Answer: It'll create departments in the government that will monitor what everyone says, does, use it to extrapolate what those people believe, and either "correct" them or use data mining to pin something on them to imprison them. "He disagrees with international policy AND domestic policy! ELIMINATE ELIMINATE!"
