Can’t comment on Outback Steakhouse, but nope, Fosters? : ptooey : Give me a VB any day.
THAT’S IT!! IT’S THOSE G*D**N PENGUINS!! IT’S THEM!!!
I KNEW IT!
I never trusted them.
Sure, they make great butlers & waiters, but they steal the silverware!!
IT’S A CONSPIRACY!!
THE PENGUINS!! AND THE HAMSTERS, TOO!
YES, THE HAMSTERS! <Monty Python>Those dn** hamsters, with their Hypodermic needles, and their atomic bombs!</Monty Python>
[sub]Atomic Fried Hamsters…MMMMMmm! Thems good eatin’.[/sub] 
I know what we can do…bomb all of Afghanistan, then we can capture bin Laden, and send him to France, and then bomb all of France!
Reprise? A few minor points of order. First, we do change our laws when they become inconvenient. Witness Howard removing Ashmore Reef from our immigration zone when the Afghanis on the Tampa were trying to get in.
Second, I don’t think if co-conspirators were found here in Australia that they would be killed. We just don’t seem to have that much of a mob mentality when it really comes down to it no matter what people say in the heat of the moment.
Third, the PM can’t change the legislation without consulting Parliament. If he has a majority in both houses and the High Court backs him, then Parliament becomes just a rubber stamp but he must still do it through the Parliament. The Government will get a chance at getting just such a majority after a maximum period of three years not four.
Finally, we may have the largest claims to Antarctic territory but hardly anybody else cares. Russia and the US don’t recognise our claims or those of NZ, Norway or anybody else. When Bush decides to drill for oil amongst the penguins (on our claim), we will have no legal standing when we doubtless declare war on the US. Which is beside the point because I don’t think the US recognises the ICJ’s (or any other international body’s) jurisdiction when it hands down vericts against the US.
Aside from this, I agree with what you have to say.
Mostly.
Mmmmm…Angelina’s hot chocolate…mmmm…<twitch><twitch>
Maybe we can just bomb Outback steakhouses. And Paul Hogan.
Might as well get Yahoo Serious, as long as you’re in the neighborhood.
I’m right behind you, matt. I’d rather not have the childhood home of my departed grandmother be anywhere near a bomb.
Or, for that matter, the homes and/or persons/belongings of her friends and family there.
Saw a funny interview last night with some of the taliban fighters(?)
They said all the problems in the world were casued by America and France!
Oh yeah, right. Seems reasonable.
Also, one guy said “Well, if I were a doctor, I’d be healing people. He’s (osama) a terrorist, so he does his terrorist thing.”
Ha!
No one likes us-I don’t know why
We may not be perfect, but heaven knows we try
But all around, even our old friends put us down
Let’s drop the big one and see what happens . . .
Asia’s too crowded and Europe’s too old
Africa is far too hot
And Canada’s too cold
And South America stole our name
Let’s drop the big one
There’ll be no one left to blame us
We’ll save Australia
Don’t wanna hurt no kangaroo
We’ll build an All American amusement park there
They got surfin’, too
Boom goes London and boom Paree
More room for you and more room for me . . .
They all hate us anyhow
So let’s drop the big one now
Let’s drop the big one now
