White-Lipped Snake I caught in my home…

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , , on March 30, 2008 | 1 Comment »

Sorry to go off topic, but I thought I would post a video of the White-Lipped Snake I caught in my home…I had it in a bucket for two hours trying to find out what to do with it. All the advice I could get from about eight different sources was [...]

Regulation: The new boom industry

Posted in Liberty (General), libertarian australia, tagged , , , , , , on March 29, 2008 | 2 Comments »

I find I am often at odds with the writers of the SMH, however today I stumbled across a rare gem relating to the delusion we hold that we still live by the constitutionalist principles of small government.

I certainly do not consider myself opposed to the concept of ‘multiculturalism’, at least not in a way that I would actively discourage it. That being said, I recently viewed a video of ultra-conservative Mark Steyn giving his views on this [...]

Why do the poor vote against their interests?

Posted in Liberty (General), liberty australia, tagged , , , , , , on March 21, 2008 | 6 Comments »

This is a question I come across over and over and over again. At university, I often get into long heated debates about the benefits of socialised health care, public education and the welfare system. Naturally my opposition creates complete and utter confusion amongst the leftists and many a centralist as such a position hardly [...]

In a dire warning against illiberal litigation and yes, legislation, a Macedonian court has convicted a bear of of larceny after it was found the bear had repeatedly stolen honey from a Macedonian apiarist. The bear, which is of a protected species, has no owner, so the Bitola judge saw it fit to order the [...]

Just poking around doing some research and I found an article from the NY Times dates July 31, 1892.
A RABBIT WALL.; HEMNING IN THE PESTS IN AUSTRALIA — OPPONENTS OF EXTERMINATION., NY Times, July 31 1892

Apparently, in one year in the 1880’s the New South Wales government payed out bounties for 25.28 million rabbits! Note, [...]
