Caprising, thank you so much for following the news with such zeal. I for one am happy that the Rudd govt has such intentions.
Interesting to see some of EJ53's recent posts re corruption in high places continuing unabated in the banking industry in the UK. He has reported this with much angst and even rage. It must be frustrating to live within that.
My niece (Australian born & bred) is currently over from the UK, and she says that visiting Australia is like being in a country town backwater - by comparison to the UK. She says we are so isolated and insular that we don't have the options (brought about by `progress' I'd say) found in Europe. For once I'm relieved we're isolated, because our culture will not put up with long-term corruption. Eventually, the `mighty' must fall.
Like you, I'm really enjoying Pluto's passage through Capricorn. It's tr. my 12th house, which at times is a bit hairy, but hidden stuff is better revealled than suppressed.
