inflammatory editorial
The Australian published this editorial yesterday Work, not welfare with this lead line No Australian can be allowed to rot in indolence. No, it wasn't about K Packer's corpse, it was about Aboriginal Australians, and the difficulty of finding meaningful work.
Actually, no, it wasn't about that, it was about "hey, let's dump a shit load on people who live on less than the minimum wage in extremely remote communities, because they're never going to read our newspaper, and people that DO read our newspaper will say 'mmm, yes, you're right, it's an outrage! pour me another cup of orange pekoe please dear, and we really should renew our subscription to The Australian, become US citizens, and buy into another very small country so that we don't have to pay any tax to the US or AU.' etc etc so on and so forth".
Just for reference, The Australian also published this Aborigines choose welfare over work by Michael McKenna, and this Business in the bush means the end to the welfare trap by Shirley McPherson on the 22nd of February.

somewhere between Marbella and Cordoba
I have visions of Tim spending a lot of time with tractor engines, while I learn the Spanish for "I want a young laying hen, not this thing, it's only good for the pot!"
