Since this TAX only applies to the people who live in the Australian Capital Territory (not the politicians who visit here), you may as well see what Canberrans think about it.

Please don't thank me. Effusive fawning and obeisance of disciples, mendicants, and foot-kissers embarrass me.

It's a local, Canberran, site ... some interesting posts from time to time. There's one guy on there who reminds me of Herbie. Grin

I've no idea whether any of the other Canberrans who post here (and there are quite a few of them) post on RIOTACT as well ....

DV is also committed equally if not more by women against men but all the blame goes against men.

Do you have anything to back up that claim? I doubt very much that violence by women against men is as frequent or as severe as violence by men against woman.

I would not want to run into Lisa Jones on a dark night.

You would not want to run into me during the day either.

Why?

I'd have you arrested for stalking me.

I will studiously avoid areas with laundromats; and even dry cleaners just to be doubly sure.

Thanks for the photo:

Sounds reasonable.

Of course. Do you often find people inclined to hit you?

Often? Really? You have a very unsophisticated response to frustration. You should work on that.

And hit me? The people around me aren't inclined to violence. They grew up.

Yeah, I'll get onto that, right after I get on top of the list of things my wife reckons I have to want to do. (as opposed to just doing them.)

Doing the dishes, visiting the mother-in-law, cleaning out the gutters...thank god the kids grew out of nappies, because I'm not sure I could ever want to change those.

Grin

Ahhh you're priceless.

I suggest you work on your inclinations whilst you are attending to your chores.

Noted. And I suggest you leave the problem-solving to us men.

Why? Because you think normal men often feel inclined to hit someone?

Or because you think on the whole that men have done a reasonable job of problem solving to date?
