    Nope sorry it is well understood by most people living rurally in the east coast area here in Tassie, unfortunately every time anyone asks serious questions about the 2 coinciding it gets squashed by the media & politicians, what can you expect with 100% Murdochracy down here & Gunns complicit politicians.

    All you have to do is ask yourself, with something so rampant as DFTD that it has killed around 75% in 10yrs so far just follow the death curve in reverse.

    yes that’s another matter that was squashed too.

    We have politicians that have a working creed of

    “Don’t confuse us with facts our policy minds are made up”

    Can you send a poster-size copy to Campbell Newman please FD? He’s about to legislate encouragement of corporate hubris in his neck of the woods. Literally makes you weep.

    Kyrie eleison

    or, in remembrance of the lost potoroos of the Tamar Valley, “Forgive them, Father, they know not what they do.”

    MICHAEL MATUSIK: Could it be that Tasmanians absorb an inferiority complex at birth? The sort of thing like sending one’s kids to a religious school-to be brain washed into following parental beliefs. NSW was a convict state but I can’t imagine anyone from that state even thinking about the subject. Whereas the Tasmanian tourist industry positively gloats about it’s convict past.

    Apart from having state governments which are on a constipated mentality level with QLD-which has to say something about the gene pool of the residents; the apple isle suffers from its lack of size.

    Now comes the real ring-a-ding ding suggestion I’m going to offer. Given the crushing weight of the mainland, Tasmania would be wise to become part of New Zealand. Isn’t this what economic groups do, form trading blocks?

    Now, are you going to shoot me, or will I do it for you?

    Cheers V

    Thanks Firsty.

    There is still VicForests, board freshly stacked with enviro vandals by Baillieu, facilitating destruction of our Victorian forests all at a loss to the taxpayer.

    MICROSERIS: You left out the bit where the mentally challenged Ted Baillieu is going to allow tourist resorts and caravans into nature reserves and national parks. Whether or not the man is criminally insane, or pandering to the Nashos because he only won by one of their votes, is debatable-personally I favour the former. Peter Ryan is Barnaby Joyce, albeit on a smaller scale.
