I've been out all day, so catching up.

I had the same thought about the discrimination in this case. What 
about the bashing white ferals? Anything to stop them from drinking 
their welfare payments and not abusing their de facto's kids?

Re MdC's point above, did you hear Claire Martin's pollie speak? I 
would have loved to be the fly on the wall when she and LJH 
negotiated this one.

CM: John, you know I'll get creamed if I do anything like that...you 
need a new Tampa, don't you?
LJH: oh, my dear, you are so good...want to join the Liberals? I'm 
sure we could find a safe seat for you in a nice cushy NSW suburb.
