We have T.V. but all I watch these days are what the grandkids watch--Disney, Hubs, Discovery, Nickelodeon, and National Geography channels. That's why I just now learned about your cyclone and flooding. So sorry to hear about the loss of lives.<br /><br />About your question, I think of Australia as a paradise with kangaroos and koalas without cyclones and floodings!LOL. tashabudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17707659728810975773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339261543193718354.post-50895730589006486612013-02-13T07:18:57.389+11:002013-02-13T07:18:57.389+11:00Be amazed

Hope you're doing well, have ALL your power back and this is all a distant memory by the time you read this.<br /><br />I've never been to Australia or New Zealand but it's on my "Bucket List" and I hope to visit one day. My impressions is, and always has been, probably stereotyped based on what I see in TV-- happy, friendly, throw-a-shrimp-on-the-barbie kind of carefree image. And beautiful-- Australia looks beautiful too.<br /><br />Stay dry and safe, xo jj<br />Joanna Jenkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10836376588710862173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339261543193718354.post-10059090783539994302013-02-10T03:38:02.859+11:002013-02-10T03:38:02.859+11:00I snickered when I read about the review of Les Mi...I snickered when I read about the review of Les Mis remarking on Crowe and Jackson's convict understanding.

It certainly was not well received by all. It went over well with the journalist class. It went over well with activist indigenous, with the aboriginal industry, and the like. However it nearly caused vapours in some circles.<br /><br />The only reason it didn't was because the apology was nowhere near as strong as the advance reporting indicated it would be.<br />Apologising when there is nothing to apologise for is never going to go down well.Steve at the Pubhttp://www.the-public-house.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339261543193718354.post-48237183804470327912013-02-08T18:47:18.019+11:002013-02-08T18:47:18.019+11:00The car unroadworthy?

In fact it hosed down lots of controversy and was well received by many different stakeholders. <br /><br />On 13 February 2008, as parliament returned from its summer break, the then Prime Minister Kevin Rudd moved a Motion of Apology to Australia’s Indigenous Peoples (Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3) in the House of Representatives apologising for past laws, policies and practices that devastated Australia’s First Nations Peoples – in particular members of the Stolen Generations. This was the parliament’s first order of business, and The Hon Kevin Rudd became the first Australian Prime Minister to give a public apology to the Stolen Generations on behalf of the Federal Government.<br /><br />The apology was public and broadcast live and watched by many. I do not know how it could be any more public, by a Government we Australians elected.
