Knew of a sniper (formerly) in the ADF. He was an excellent computer programmer and a decent hacker. He is 50 years old. It is not far fetched that Brian could be a computer programmer and work in the ADF at one stage.
I dont doubt that many people are multi skilled and have had separate career or job paths, I fall into that category myself but it is simple arithmetic my friend. 10 + 25 =35. Plus whatever years spent gaining educational qualifications he presents. Plus he states he has done many other things which qualify him to claim great life experience. At one stage he claimed to speak Indonesian fluently, the problem with that claim is that another poster here is a qualified and experienced translator in said language. When challenged his claim soon descended to a barrage of posts containing juvenile  icons and his refusal to accept simple facts.


I think Brian stated in the past that he was born in 1957. 60 years old this year, I assume if correct. In 60 years, you can live an abundant life. In my 38 years, I have done various things from the exciting, to the challenging, to the illegal. But I have not done much in the last 11 years, good or bad. One thing I do know is that 4000 days offers opportunities beyond sitting behind a computer, playing games, or forum postings, or working part-time. If I had my time again, I would certainly be a lot more productive and target the things I wanted to do. But then again, I could probably easily do what Brian has done (minus the military) within the next 22 years. Get a PhD. Learn to program. Work in an industry that makes a difference. All that can easily fit inside the next 22 years.

So, my point is that the math does add up. And if all of us here have not done at least what Brian has done by the time we all turn 60, then we are not doing enough.

While i must admit I am unfamiliar  with the qualifications you have stated, I must admit tgat they appear quite comprehensive.
Shall we agree then, that our education and intellegence therefore are indisputable.
We simply have a diconnect with regard to our, different, opinions of specifics.

You do not see the world as I do, perhaps the places you have seen and the people you have met may differ from tge ones I have.

I will never agree that Islam is anything less than a very malignant and socially crippling desease on the huma race or that me and mine are in some way responsible for Australian Aboriginal problems of their own making.
But perhaps we can dispense with the name calling and insults.

This is a simple request for mutual respect, even if our opinions differ poles apart.


Sure, we can differ but until you stop your outbursts of Racism and Islamophobia and Xenophobia, Valkie our disagreement will continue to flare into dispute.    There are ways of saying what you want to say in a civilised, non-Racist/non-Xenophobic/non-Islamophobic ways.  Stop acting like a schoolboy and start acting like an adult.  Do that I will treat you like an adult.



Then you will have to acknowledge that this CULT is nothing but an evil cult.
Its is nothing less and nothing more

This is typical of those of your ilk.
I offer the hand of peace and you snap it off.
You and your wonderful CULT see nothing positive in anything but attack and victimization.
You continue to call me names and believe that you are justified because of some sick belief that you are in the right.

You are mistaken my friend.
The CULT is pure unmitigated evil, every civilized country on this planet realize this, except for the apologists and people wishing to destroy western civilization.

Islamaphobia is a made up word used to describe people who dare to point out the serious faults in this CULT.

As was so well put in another post by another poster, it is like describing someone who takes precautions against sunburn as sunophobia.

Racism in Australia is virtually non existent, you have people who point out the reverse racism that is currently in place  or point out cultural inadequacy, sick, dangerous practices and you get labelled racist.

True racism, where the protagonist actually attacks or excludes people based on race does not exist in our country.
Anyone, everyone has the same opportunities, some minority groups even more than others.
Aboriginals are given far more opportunity than all other Australians, but they simply waste this opportunity.
To even consider mentioning that suddenly makes you a racist.

Or so it appears to be the case in the eyes of the apologists and anglophobes.

The hand of peace has been offered and rejected.
You show your true colours.
Sad really, but typical.

We already have that, UnSubRocky.   Australian native flora is highly salt-tolerant.  The problem is the farmers have cleared most of it off the productive land, this has resulted in the salt laden water table rising to the point where it is affecting the introduced, colonial flora, which isn't salt tolerant and so it all dies off.    Some farmers have already tried to create large canals which go down to the water table and take away a lot of the salt laden water.  Problem is, it is less efficient than the native flora.   You end up with more salt being drawn to the surface.

Lake Eyre is one of the lowest points in Australia.   All water courses around it, flow into it.   Water from the western side of the Great Dividing Range generally flow into it.  Only the Murray-Darling doesn't.   So, basically you're going to have to flood it, if you want to flood inland Australia.   This will destroy a unique environment which has been created over the last 50K years.  Flora and fauna uniquely adapted to it.   Are you sure you want to do that?

The Bradfield Scheme wanted to essentially do that by turning the rivers flowing eastwards from the Great Dividing Range to the western side of the range, rather as the Snow Mountains Scheme did for the Snowy River, further south.   Bradfield's scheme was hopelessly optimistic and of course failed to consider the effects on the eastern side of the Great Dividing Range, just as it failed to consider the effects on the western side.   Roll Eyes


I will have to start off by saying that this is interesting stuff that I did not know. I will look this topic up on the internet in the next few weeks.

Secondly, I just wanted to point out that there is nothing wrong with trying to find a solution to Australia's desertification. I was already aware that we have native trees that can counter the salinity of soils. Trees like salt grow (or whatever the scientific name may be). These types of flora have reversed the problems that farmers have encountered (perhaps caused) over the last 2 centuries. Salt grow being particularly useful in draining murky swamps (saline or otherwise) and allowing the surrounding environment to become useful fertile farmland.

Hearing through the grapevine that the government has undertaken to plant these native vegetations in areas where they are needed most urgently. But, I am told that this is going to take decades of growth and planting to recover good fertile farmland.

What I want to happen is for Australia's regional areas to have saline reduced soils over the next few decades. I know that is optimistic and perhaps unrealistic. But I think we have reached a point in our development when countering soil salinity is a bigger issue than we have entertained in the past. We can't simply go about our lives living in the past thinking that we should stick to a continent that is hopelessly unproductive in the interior, whilst packing our coastlines and cities with large populations.


Unsub .... try looking into the subject of turning good fertile farmland into salt affected wasteland.

We have done this to many areas with irrigation schemes e.g. the Murrumbidgee Irrigation scheme ....

in the salad bowl of QLD ... the Lockyer Valley

and many other areas.

In the Lockyer, land clearing, especially on surrounding high country alters the drainage of water run off which in turn raises the water table, pushing minerals especially salt to the surface.

In the Murrumbidgee case ...... flood irrigation in more marginal areas raises the water table for the same result.

Tipping water on the land doesn't always turn it into a fertile oasis. There are many pros & cons to deal with.

IMHO your suggestions regarding the Lake Ayre basin would be a monumental & fruitless(excuse the pun) exercise.

I found a fish hook the other day wile fishing, it was attached to some line that got tangled in my line.

It was a new hook, so I used it and caught a fish.

ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY I USED A FISH HOOK.

A few years ago I was out on a back road near Grafton.
I came across a car that was having gearbox issues.
Examination revealed that the gear lever connection had broken.
I FOUND some wire from an old discarded fence and used this wire to jury rig a functional gearbox connection.

ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY I MADE A GEAR LEVER CONNECTION FROM A BIT OF WIRE.

Wow, sometimes it amazes me just how great white technology is that we can make things work with only discarded materials.

Please don't use the name of our lord in vain, it offends me.

There is a very good and financially logical reason why this may be the case.

Have you ever seen a house after it has been tenanted by an Aboriginal?
I have, I have been involved in the repair, ongoing maintenance and sometimes re-building of houses after just such an event.

They are not all be bad, I know this for a fact, but far too many make it bad for the minority who are good tenants.

And don't just think its our Aboriginal friends who are precluded.
Try renting when you have small children, even with a good record and references.

Now days there is even a rental register where once you get a bad rating, you have no chance.
That is except if you are an Aboriginal, you can get into trouble if you refuse, so its done clandestinely.

Please, do yourself a favor.
Travel the world and go and see what TRUE RACISM is.
Go and see how people live in fear simply because they are black or yellow.
Go and see how true racism has led to abuse, and physical violence.

Then come back to Australia and tell me we are racists.

Ill accept your apology after your journey.

You are wrong.  Dead wrong.

I've just told you why, and you even agree that it's happening.

Aboriginals are excluded from the private real estate market because they are Aboriginals.

That's Racism 101.

And what is it when you exclude young families with children?
Or people with dogs and cats?
Or sometimes single men or women?
Or when you refuse people who damage properties?

The fact that they are Aborigine is irrelevant.
The fact that they fit a demographic which is high risk or property damage or not be paid for the rent are the real reasons.
Cops pull over cars because they are full of young men for breath tests.
Is this racist, no, its because they fit a demographic that has a high chance of being drunk.
The chances of property damage is much higher with Aborigines.
The properties are owned by someone who wishes to minimize damage, and get regular rent.
Its not racism, its simply good management.

This is where racism is always taken too far.
Do the owners threaten the Aboriginals?
Do the owners treat them badly?
Do they harass them or cause them hurt?
They simply seek to get the best from their property.

There is a simple fix
Be better tenants, get jobs and prove that you are not a bad renter and that you will pay the rent and not damage the property.
Is that so hard????
