Capital Protests St Patrick's day Australia

The prime Minister Tony Abbot claims he was unaware of protests at Go0verment policy In Sydney, Melbourne and other capitals. Protests were against the current asylum policy, cuts to health and education and the same sex marriage issue. 


To be sure! Sex can't be all the same. You have to experiment with different positions!

 Mr Abbot claims the only march he was aware of was the St Patrick's day parade in Sydney.

Ducking the issue

Out for a duck

Duck hunting season opens in Victoria today. Protesters or unauthorised persons are forbidden to approach within ten meters of a duck hunter in a designated hunting area or risk a hefty fine.

There are rumors that some ducks have been recruited to patrol designated areas to warn protesters.

Something a little different

Kids

Wonderful to see a child involved in something. They are totally focussed and unaware of what's going on around them. It's something we lose as we grow older. They're also so convinced that hat they behave designed is perfect and requires immediate attention.

What price elegance

Global dressing down

Once upon a time , travellers dressed up to travel. If one went down in the North Atlantic at least one did it with clean underwear and properly attired bodies so the morgue would not be shocked at the state of your personal hygiene.
Today, it's the opposite. People dress down and differently. Yet everybody looks the same , as if  hordes of little scruffy upmarket models with jeans dirtied in Bengal, T shirts sweated over in China and Pakistan and expensive runners with more component parts than an aircraft, have been emptied into airport lounges. Keeps globalisation going, we can only assume.

Identity Crisis

Passport anyone?

Recently , at great expense and inconvenience for many citizens, countries have been going to extraordinary lengths to update our passport systems. Not only have prices skyrocketed but alternative arrangements have been made sometime forcing people to travel hundreds of miles to renew their passport.

Unfortunately it's a "must have" item but a visit to the passport office and one's confrontation with the faceless and cold stratosphere of officialdom is as welcome as an al fresco café in a hurricane. What do the citizens get for their money? At the moment it seems to be a theft of their identity.
