So what is your definition of team Australia? Is it the same as Abbott's? I've not really heard him describe what it means. Is it just blindly following what the Government says?
Nobody should have to explain to you how a team works Syd......it is pure elementary 'dear Watson', meaning people work together for a winning outcome.
As I stated before, we (and more so the unions) are quick to put out our hands to share the wealth of the nation when things are going well....how often have you heard the Green/Labor socialist left wingers demand a share of the countries wealth from minerals?....But at times, like we are experiencing now, the price of our minerals, and in particular iron ore, has had a dramatic drop in price and now is the time when the unions should be saying, OK we will lend a hand or do they adopt the same socialist mentality of expecting the Government to prop them up with subsidies or industry assistance in order to maintain with high wages..
Sometime ago, somebody in their wisdom decided we should entertain a multicultural society, mainly because we are a large country with a low population...we needed more people to foster growth and to a point it has worked.....The problem is now we have created a monster for ourselves by allowing radical religious immigrants from countries who are not prepared to accept the Australian way of life....they form their own ghettos and refuse to assimilate....they want to their own laws and are not prepared to accept ours....They expect welfare because they are either not skilled or do not understand English.
IN MY BOOK, THAT IS NOT TEAM WORK.
As Bill Crosby says and I go along with what he says, I am tired of it all..
Not new, I’ve seen this before (perhaps the guy found the fountain of youth and is stuck at 83?) but still a refreshing set of thoughts.
Subject: Bill Cosby at 83
Life isn't tied with a bow, but it's still a gift.
And life isn't fair, but it's good!!
I'm 83. Except for brief period in the 50s when I was doing my National Service, I've worked
hard since I was 17. Except for some serious health challenges, I put in 50-hour weeks, and
didn't call in sick in nearly 40 years.
I made a reasonable salary, but I didn't inherit my job or my income, and I worked to get where I am. Given the economy, it looks as though retirement was a bad idea, and I'm tired. Very tired.
I'm tired of being told that I have to "spread the wealth" to people who don't have my work ethic.
I'm tired of being told the government will take the money I earned, by force if necessary, and
give it to people too lazy to earn it.
I'm tired of being told that Islam is a "Religion of Peace," when every day I can read dozens of
stories of Muslim men killing their sisters, wives and daughters for their family "honor"; of Muslims rioting over some slight offence; of Muslims murdering Christian and Jews because they aren't "believers"; of Muslims burning schools for girls; of Muslims stoning teenage rape victims to death
for "adultery"; of Muslims mutilating the genitals of little girls; all in the name of Allah, because
the Qur'an and Sharia law tells them to.
I'm tired of being told that out of "tolerance for other cultures" we must let Saudi Arabia and
other Arab countries use our oil money to fund mosques and madrassa Islamic schools to preach
hate in Australia, New Zealand, UK, America and Canada, while no one from these countries
are allowed to fund a church, synagogue or religious school in Saudi Arabia or any other Arab
country to teach love and tolerance.
I'm tired of being told I must lower my living standard to fight global warming, which no one is
allowed to debate.
I'm tired of being told that drug addicts have a disease, and I must help support and treat them,
and pay for the damage they do. Did a giant germ rush out of a dark alley, grab them, and stuff
white powder up their noses or stick a needle in their arm while they tried to fight It off?
I'm tired of hearing wealthy athletes, entertainers and politicians of all parties talking about
innocent mistakes, stupid mistakes or youthful mistakes, when we all know they think their only
mistake was getting caught.
I'm tired of people with a sense of entitlement, rich or poor.
I'm really tired of people who don't take responsibility for their lives and actions. I'm tired of
hearing them blame the government, or discrimination or big-whatever for their problems.
I'm also tired and fed up with seeing young men and women in their teens and early 20s be-deck themselves in tattoos and face studs, thereby making themselves un-employable and claiming
money from the Government.
Yes, I'm damn tired. But I'm also glad to be 83. Because, mostly, I'm not going to have to see
the world these people are making. I'm just sorry for my granddaughters and their children.
Thank God I'm on the way out and not on the way in.
There is no way this will be widely publicized, unless each of us sends it on!
This is your chance to make a difference.
