    Dear all,

    My complements on a fine Australian family, thankyou… Now to the point of this… A long time ago I added some feedback round here re: Kimbo and what he needed to do to get his shite together for him self and the people of Australia. I even made some very intelligent suggestions as to how these things could be accomplished. Well you guys certainly showed your true colours there. Hedging, and denying and ducking and accusing me of all sorts of stuff. You did everything except see the clear light of my truly caring, honest, loyal and insightful suggestions. (I come in support) The family all got very scared and eventually ended the tread of posts again, with some lamo and degrading comment. Well, we will soon see, I suspect whether or not my suggestions should of been heeded.

    On a side point, jogging increases blood circulation to the brain which helps memory retention. You have to admit, despite how much underneath we all love ya father, he really isn’t that clever a politician. He has the political genius of the average building site labourer, and looks somewhat more over weight… not the qualities of a true leader. Ya have to be fit in this new world. Lead by example. I am sorry someone had to tell you guys…but will you get it? Nup… Too busy looking after your retirement fund to care about everybody else in the country…. Roll over Kimbo… Bring on some new blood. Surely there is someone with a brain in the ALP? I know none of you are passing on anything you know down the ranks… think about it… ALP – As stale as old weathered cardboard. No wonder why we still have Howard.

    And your comment is relevant to this page, how?

  • I’m Back…

    Sorry Andrew,
    I though that would have been clear. It is relevent to the ABOUT page because it is “about” your family. I can’t see why you guys get so defensive? Transparency is healthy, as long as you cover all your bases, there should be nothing to fear!

    Or are you suggesting that this site has nothing to do with the rest of your family? Perhaps that is not what you have intended. But, I would propose many of your friends, who may view this blog, would like you because of your kind father-in-law. Perhaps, you yourself have enjoyed marrying into such a family. You would be silly if you didn’t, don’t you think?

    On a lighter note…
    How’s Perth these days anyway? It’s beaches are surely among the most stunning in the country, especially at sunset! We are very lucky regardless of all this other stuff. But I propose, some are more lucky then others. Perhaps that is a shame. It just depends on how one looks at things right? No it is a shame regardless. It should be relevant everywhere, perhaps. Then maybe perhaps we could get to the bottom of all this…

    Warm regards and best wishes,
    seriously,

    A concerned Australian.

    Concerned Australian,
    Thank you for your posts. I have taken them under advisement. I am choosing not to comment because it seems that anything I say that is contradictory to your views is wrong, not actually part of a healthy debate.
    I will say, that you may have found it in your heart to not comment like you have at such a difficult time.
    I would also like to be so bold as to ask what your father does/did for a living so that I too may pass judgment on how his weight, exercise regime, how he takes others’ ‘caring’ views under advisement etc etc effects his ability to do his job and his ability in general.
    What’s good for the goose…
    You have a right to all your views, whether I agree with them, partially agree with them or completely disagree with them. However, I take absolute offense and am tempted – for the first time – to delete your comment regarding your comment that Andrew married me because of who my father is or that people only like him because of who my father is. I am sorry if your relationships are so shallow but you do not know either of our friends or families or our relationship so I’d appreciate a retraction/apology on that note. It’s offensive, ridiculous and completely stupid. If you want to be taken seriously take a deep breath and think before you type/say such pathetic things.
    I do not want this to turn into a to and fro as it is pointless and I really don’t expect an apology. If you comment again I probably won’t reply, but there are some things that should not go unchecked. Thank you for visiting our site.

    Hi,
    Thankyou for replying so promptly.

    Please let me make this clear, I never said, nor implied or thought for a single second that your friends would “only” etc etc the rest of it, I agree, it would be completely stupid of me. I can see there is much more to you all. I am quite surprised at your emotional reaction to this and that you though that this is what I may of implied.

    Please think about what I have written even if it makes you angry, in the long run you will only benefit. I know, you will think I am sounding arrogant, it is a calculated risk. And an apology, if I have hurt your feelings, is a given. I am truly sorry, if I have hurt your feelings. I mean to appeal to your thoughts, not your emotions. I am deducting reasonable facts, not touchy feely’s. Opinions, yes they may be, perhaps isn’t everything, but insightful and practical opinions they are also.

    We shouldn’t play to both, win over the people with our scrawlings and belittle them as being merely opinionated.

    And in reply to your query – My father was a very well known property developer, but I am not attempting to run the country from any democratically elected position, and nor did he, so I fail to see how my father or your father could or should be compared. But, unfortunately for your debate he stands up strangely well to any comparisons. Comparison would truly be unfair. You may now perhaps, work out who he was. He has sadly passed. This is a matter of responsibility, is it not? You guys are way too peopley, which is important, but more, is very important too. But if it makes you feel better. I suppose it may convince some readers that my comment is mean hearted, wild and completely unsuitable, when in fact you know and I believe you know this is not the case. To find power we have to keep it “real”, don’t you guys know that?

    It is ok if you don’t reply to this comment, after all, this isn’t easy stuff and isn’t your preferred life direction is it?

    As to you believing anything you say would be “wrong” in my opinion, I find that you actually say, very little and merely glaze over the surface of matters rather then get too deeply involved. I suppose, this is a public forum and I can see that you understand very little about me. I have told you little and you are not so certain as to the ramifications of what I suggest.

    Lets change the guard.

    Warm regards,

    A concerned Australian.
