All this fuss and bother over Senator Lambie’s secret deal is, in my opinion, just a storm in a teacup. There is a perfectly logical explanation as to what happened and all one has to do is look at the evidence.
The big giveaway was her reply when asked about the “ deal “ she did.
“I am voting for their repeal of medevac because I am satisfied that the conditions that led to medevac being passed aren’t the same as the conditions today,” Senator Lambie told Parliament.

Allan Savory works to promote holistic management in the grasslands of the world. I discovered his work, quite by chance and am an instant fan.
Thanks for the Memories
An old neighbour who I met in 1963, turned 86 this morning. We lived next door to each other for 20 years. He lost his wife aged 91 years, lost his driver’s license, last month and feels very isolated. A few days ago I sent an email, with photos and received no reply.
Sadly his memory is not good either.
Well done, Dr Phelps. Didn’t that do well?
At last, your Medevac legislation has been aborted and sent to the sluice room. Where it belongs, I might add. You were in Parliament for less than a year – roughly nine months to be exact.
Yes Dr Phelps, your career as a Politician was conceived on 16th September 2018 and abruptly terminated on 20th May 2019. At about 8 months gestation. Like the babies you so freely advocate for being murdered, you career was aborted just shy of 9 months.
How apt is that?

Joe Biden, Presidential Candidate for the DemocRAT Party has gone past being an embarrassment. He is now actually a laughing stock and a danger to the Party as a whole.
Obviously, from my point of view - as an avid President Trump fan, this is great news. But to the leftie luvvies, even they must be shuddering and shrinking in their boots that he is coming to their party - and hoping to be the Master of Ceremony.

Something is terribly wrong in the world when a man can entice a 5 year old girl to perform oral sex on him and, because he says he " is sorry " he gets a pass.
This is not a game of monopoly. These are young children's lives, yet our courts continue to give them the get out of jail for free card, as long as they repent and say " gee, it was a sexual emergency " or " I wish I hadn't done it "
Some leftie luvvie judge hears the laments of the poor pedophile and nods in an understanding way and passes a sentence that is waived or magically transformed into nothing short of a roll of the dice in monopoly, a get out of jail card and a quick run through to go to collect $200.
What has happened to the relationship between some Women , fortunately a minority, who seem to have a very bad feeling about all men. They feel they can say anything from calling all men rapists and then wonder why a rather pointed comment comes back in reply.
Mr Pascoe, this is a story that children would enjoy reading as our land is ravaged by fire.
Please stop your nonsense and let children enjoy the magic of mythology, tradition and the Dreamtime. Please let our Australian children enjoy their childhood and the wonder of Aboriginal Australian Culture. .
This nonsense about creating a fabricated history of Indigenous culture is insulting to so many people.
Commercial media promotes goods, services, functions and political messages for those prepared to pay for this service.
The government-owned ABC also runs incessant ads. However, ABC ads promote the ABC, its own programs, and its black-red-green-rainbow political agenda.
Speckled about the steep slopes are clumps of small, fieldstone cottages. Their crumbling mortar and aging stones are victim to the ravages of time. Sprawling green meadows, vivid and fertile lay terraced and latticed-worked with pastel pinks and blues of the prolific hydrangeas which form hedgerows and borders.
Throughout the town streets are narrow, they dart willy-nilly between tall houses. The hooves of a horse resound as it gently picks its way over dark cobblestones polished to a sheen by countless feet before. Upon its weary back and mounted side-saddle an old man journeys.
Although late summer the air is already crisp as it transports and mingles the salty tang of sea and other heady aromas that give a hint to the freshly made cheese and bread still browning in the ovens. This, somehow, remains commonplace to the people of the Azores.
I have never been reticent in expressing my love and admiration of America. I love the Americans who call it home.
As an Australian, I admire the exploits of their armed services ( when I was a boy during WW2 ) but it was my experience of living there in 1976 that cemented the attitude I developed and still have today.
America is presently going through a very bad patch and has dragged the rest of the Western World with it.
Since the end of WW2, the only thing that has stood between Communism and the life that most of the free world enjoys is America. The untold generosity to every beleaguered nation on this planet has not been appreciated by most of them.
Thank God for America.
