BlogsJohn Valder's Campaign Launch ()The Launch of John Valder's campaign to defeat Howard in Bennelong is:
A plea to those in the know (Anthony Gooley)I am so heartened by the fact that some people like Andrew Wilkie with WMD, and these latest public servants making comments about 'children overboard' claims, are coming forward and speaking up. There is a principle at the heart of this which is that no government should require anyone to do that which is immoral or to allow governments to propogate lies when they know the truth.
Singing to the Choir (Nick Rofe)It was with a deepening sense of gloom and depression that I read your book Margo. I hasten to add that this was not reflective of the treatment of the subject matter or the quality of your writing, rather it was for the reason that is obvious from the title of my review.
Thank for providing information that provokes thought and debate. (beth smeaton)Not Happy John In February 2003 our family set out on a days adventure for something we felt very strongly about - Australia joining forces to invade a country for NO PROVEN REASON !! Complete with back packs, water bottles and signs laboured over by 8 and 10 year olds we joined the mass of humanity accumulating in Hyde Park. We laughed, sang and chatted with people from every part of Sydney and beyond. We stood patiently in the crush and were overjoyed that there were so many people we couldnt physically march. We went home tired, footsore and hungry but elated that Australians had got off their arses and shown how they felt. It didnt last very long - in a blatant show of sheer arrogance I heard us referred to as 'a mob' we were not seen as the democratic voice of Australia just a bothersome gnat that could be squashed. Thank you for your book - I have bought multiple copies for friends and families and my own copy has been lent and religiously retrieved several times. Thank y
Quote About Flow of Information (Winston Denis Jen)Hello. I bought your book a few weeks ago, and I know the source of one of your quotes that was mentioned at the start of one of the chapters. In your book, I believe that it says 'Beware of he who would deny you access to information, for in his heart he dreams himself your master.' - Quote from a computer game.
Going overboard on unthrown children ()In my chapter of NHJ, I wrote passionately about my concern over the collapse of ethics in business and government. I wrote of the corroding affect of the daily diet of lies and spin. I focused on some of the 'big lies' and specifically mentioned the unthrown children. I've just come back from a long fishing trip on Fraser Island where I cut myself off from the daily news. I've returned to the mainland to hear a furore over the unthrown children and the lies surrounding it. My first reaction was 'yawn, we know about that already'. I'm tired, windswept, bedraggled and sunburnt and don't want to relive the lies of the last election.
Is this the discussion forum? (Ruby Roberts)Is this the discussion forum Margo talks about in her book? If so, I'm keen to join in...
Not Happy, Bob ()Lying lyinger lyingest lies and the lyingestically lyingorific lying-liars who...oh, for ----'s sake, forget it.
Candidate for Berowra - policy on constitutional issues and our political system - seeking comment (Matthew Benson)I am running as an independent for Berowra against Phillip Ruddock. After taking a while longer than hoped to develop my website I finally have gotten underway with my policies.
Truth overboard ()The following letter appeared in today's SMH, related to the latest allegations against John Howard and the children overboard claims of 2001:
Suing politicians over the $2 election funding won't work (Troy Rollo)There is a common law tort of deceit, but the person suing would need to be the person who suffered the loss from the deception. The $2 comes from the Government, not the voter. Even though it's the voter whose decision determines where the money goes, the voter has no loss.
The Australian (finally) acknowledges NHJ! ()The coverage of NHJ in the Murdoch press has been virtually nonexistent. Hardly surprising, really, considering the claims made against the media mogul.
Lying Lyingest Lies and the Lyingest Liar-Liar Lying-Thingies Who Lie Them - Squirming On the Written Records. ()The trooly-o-yay-and-verily angelic truth-seekers of the ripping John Howard Lies website are maintaining a relentless squirrel grip on PM-Credibility-Overboardgate even as it hourly unfolds.
query (Jenepher Davy)Where can I get NHJ stickers in Perth?
one idea to change the system (greg diven)It is a pity that the electorate can not be inspired to throw the politicians out, then rewrite part of the constitution so that political parties are outlawed. If the 'machine' is the problem (and it is) then demolish the machine and take back the system from the politicians - vote independents where possible-even the Democrats and Greens are more interested in their ideologies than thinking through each issue and doing what is right for the majority or all.
