Jober Whatever does eventuate, just remember "these times too, will pass..."

No they wont, we are locked into a Burearocratic dependency on seeking the lowest common denominator, just 5 years behind the "old dart" but catching quickly.

No winge just a wake up call

[FONT='Arial','sans-serif'][/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']WAKE UP TIME[/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif'][/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']When the shearing sheds are silent and the stock camps fallen quiet[/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']When the gidgee coals no longer glow across the outback night[/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']And the bush is forced to hang a sign, '. gone broke and won't be back'[/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']And spirits fear to find a way beyond the beaten track[/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif'][/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']When harvesters stand derelict upon the wind swept plains[/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']And brave hearts pin their hopes no more on chance of loving rains[/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']When a hundred outback settlements are ghost towns overnight[/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']When we've lost the drive and heart we had to once more see us right[/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif'][/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']When 'Pioneer' means a stereo and 'Digger' some backhoe[/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']And the 'Outback' is behind the house.. there's nowhere else to go[/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']And 'Anzac' is a biscuit brand and probably foreign owned[/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']And education really means brainwashed and neatly cloned[/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif'][/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']When you have to bake a loaf of bread to make a decent crust[/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']And our heritage once enshrined in gold is crumbling to dust[/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']And old folk pay their camping fees on land for which they fought[/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']And fishing is a great escape; this is until you're caught[/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif'][/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']When you see our kids with yankee caps and resentment in their eyes[/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']And the soaring crime and hopeless hearts is no longer a surprise[/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']When the name of RM Williams is a yuppie clothing brand[/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']And not a product of our heritage that grew off the land[/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif'][/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']When offering a hand makes people think you'll amputate[/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']And two dogs meeting in the street is what you call a 'Mate'[/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']When 'Political Correctness' has replaced all common sense[/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']When you're forced to see it their way, there's no sitting on the fence[/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif'][/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']Yes one day you might find yourself an outcast in this land[/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']Perhaps your heart will tell you then, ' I should have made a stand'[/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']Just go and ask the farmers that should remove all doubt[/FONT]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']Then join the swelling ranks who say, ' don't sell Australia out'[/FONT]
