The Australian Prime Minister does it again!

2011-03-04T16:03:00.001Z

She's done it again..

She sure isn't backing down on her hard line stance and one has to appreciate her belief in the rights of her native countrymen..

A breath of fresh air to see someone lead. I wish some leaders would step up elsewhere in the world:

Australian Prime Minister does it again!!

This woman should be appointed Queen of the World.. Truer words have never been spoken.
It took a lot of courage for this woman to speak, what she had to say for the world to hear. The retribution could be phenomenal, but at least she was willing to take a stand on her and Australia 's beliefs.

The whole world needs a leader like this!

Prime Minister Julia Gillard - Australia

Muslims who want to live under Islamic Sharia law, were told on Wednesday to get out of Australia , as the government targeted radicals in a bid to head off potential terror attacks..

Separately, Gillard angered some Australian Muslims on Wednesday by saying she supported spy agencies monitoring the nation's mosques. Quote:

'IMMIGRANTS, NOT AUSTRALIANS, MUST ADAPT.. Take It Or Leave It.

I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or their culture. Since the terrorist attacks on Bali , we have experienced a surge in patriotism by the majority of Australians. '

'This culture has been developed over two centuries of struggles, trials and victories by millions of men and women who have sought freedom'

'We speak mainly ENGLISH, not Spanish, Lebanese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society . Learn the language!'

'Most Australians believe in God. This is not some Christian, right wing, political push, but a fact, because Christian men and women, on Christian principles, founded this nation, and this is clearly documented. It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools. If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your new home, because God is part of our culture.'

'We will accept your beliefs, and will not question why. All we ask is that you accept ours, and live in harmony and peaceful enjoyment with us.'

'This is OUR COUNTRY, OUR LAND, and OUR LIFESTYLE, and we will allow you every opportunity to enjoy all this. But once you are done complaining, whining, and griping about Our Flag, Our Pledge, Our Christian beliefs, or Our Way of Life, I highly encourage you take advantage of one other great Australian freedom, 'THE RIGHT TO LEAVE'.'

'If you aren't happy here then LEAVE. We didn't force you to come here. You asked to be here. So accept the country YOU accepted.'

Why?

2011-03-04T15:58:00.001Z

Why do people order double cheeseburgers, large fries and a DIET Coke?

Why do banks leave their vault doors open and then chain the pens to the counters?

Why do we leave our cars, costing thousands of pounds, on our driveways and put useless junk in the garage?

Why does the Sun lighten our hair but darken our skin?

Why can't women put on mascara with their mouth closed?

Why don't you ever see the headline: "Psychic wins lottery"?

Why is "abbreviated" such a long word?

Why is it that Doctors call what they do "Practice"?

Why is the man who invests all your money called a broker?

Why is the time of day with the slowest traffic called the "rush hour"?

Why isn't there mouse flavoured cat food?

Why do they sterilize the needle for lethal injections?

Why don't sheep shrink when it rains?

You know that indestructible black box that is used on aircraft? Why don't they make the whole plane out of that stuff?

If flying is so safe, why do they call the airport a "terminal"?

Bletchley Park & The National Museum of Computing.

2010-04-01T22:02:00.002+01:00

Bletchley Park is in Buckinghamshire England, on the outskirts of Milton Keynes. This was the biggest site of its' kind in the world during World War II and was the home of the mathematicians, scholars, chess champions and many others who broke the German "Enigma" and "Lorenz" codes as well as Italian and Japanese codes and, as a direct result, shortened the war by around two years and saved millions of lives, on all sides. I am a Tour Guide at the Park and have made a series of videos, uploaded onto YouTube, which will give you a virtual tour of the Park, there are 9 in total.

Log into You Tube and type in the search bar: "Bletchley Park Tour" and look for the ones authored by LFraserS, they are listed as: "Bletchley Park Tour - Part 1, 2, 3" etc.
