I read the article and I have to admit that I found it hard to understand, It goes against all the stories I had grown up knowing about the horrors that the Australian soldiers faced at the hands of the Japanese. Starvation and ill treatment were the order of the day, Imprisoned in cages for some misdemeanor. Building railways , working with very little food, skeletons doing hard manual work, falling by the wayside and either they died or got up and tried again. I have to honestly say that I believe what was told following those dreadful days when they were finally released and saved.

According to Wikipedia the Person of the Year is an annual issue of the United States news magazine Time that features and profiles a person, a group, an idea, or an object that "for better or for worse... has done the most to influence the events of the year".
That is a very fair assessment and, to be honest, little Miss Thunberg has done a hell of a lot to influence events in 2019. So, on this occasion, I would agree that she has been quite a central figure on the world stage.
Being the Person of the Year does not mean a good influence. It means, as it says, for better or worse, a big player in how the year has panned out.
I have just read with dismay that girls as young as 14 years old are having their breasts removed . From what I can read it appears that they ask their parents could they go on Hormone treatment they want to become boys. This is after only months before dressing in pretty clothes and looking like attractive young ladies.
When I heard this afternoon that White Island erupted, my heart of course reached out to those that have been caught up in this very frightening and dangerous situation.
But it took me back over 45 years to a day in about 1975, when my parents went fishing off White Island with my Uncle – my Mum’s brother.

We have women who are supposedly running our different States. Once upon a time that would have been done with responsibility and efficiency and with dignity . There are some very capable and excellent ladies but, we are being let down, because some of the women seem to do is make poor decisions and certainly not do what is best for the people they are supposed to represent. We have two choices , get rid of them and find some Margaret Thatcher ladies or try and find some Gentlemen who have some guts to put to right so many wrongs.
Pelosi is a fool. She has walked in to an ambush in a canyon full of Acme blast sheds. Impeachment gives President Trump the most amazing tactical advantage. Thanks Pelosi. You have just gifted Trump a second term, Thank you.
I am delighted. President Trump has just been gifted the 2020 election. Pelosi lost control of her Party to the far left and she surely knows that they have just made the biggest home goal in Political history!
How can any Political Party make such a foolish decision - impeaching a President who has brought down unemployment, restored American Pride, restored the Defense Forces, fought for Veterans...and now opened an opportunity for him to introduce evidence that will condemn them to face their ghosts. Ghosts that they may have preferred to have stayed locked in a cupboard and kept under the stairs .
The DemocRATs have popped themselves on a highway to hell in a handbasket with this impeachment.
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.
