now I know this is just sarcasm and that’s fine; but I’m interested in your implication that Australia has sent troops to Fiji in the past. I wasn’t aware of that, can you elaborate?

Surely you’re not referring to the minimal numbers sent to the High Commission, or the fact that a naval vessel was in the area in case evacuations became necessary - hardly “…sending troops there again” is it?

It really does seem odd but I think Lee makes a good point here. How is water any different to lemonade or cordial for example? Some people say there is a subtle difference between brands but they all taste the same to me. Why do we allow imports of lemonade and cordial? I honestly believe arguments against bottled water are silly, and it truly is an issue of little consequence. If people are buying bottled water it is not adding to the amount of waste produced as they are likely not buying some other pre-packaged drink product.

I agree on Lee Rhiannon’s worked on Aidwatch, although I think their focus is more on reforming how the aid is given as opposed to how much is given…regardless though, it does not excuse such a reckless disregard for the global consequences of a policy she is pushing, especially considering the Greens’ pious condescending attitude when it comes to talking about issues of global importance.

They talk about environmentalism like they are chastising you, so it is satisfying to expose their hypocrisy.

On the poverty of Fiji I’d have a look at what Rihnon was doing before she was an MP I thought she did good work in the organisation AidWatch which actually made sure our money went to help poor countries and not just give free cash to companies.

Anyhow on the firearms front the laws havnt made much difference to me but I know a lot of skeet shooting mates were frustrated about losing auto shotguns.

cheers

I’d much rather some overweight kid to drink water from a bottle rather than some sugary softdrink.

I was thinking skim latte and tofu hot dog.

If my memory serves me correctly, these environuts also want the flushing toilet, the light bulb, the motor car, the plastic bag, the clothes dryer and also to limit the amount of toilet paper the masses can use. Now they can add bottled water to the list.

I had no idea that water exports were doing such good in Fiji, but it’s on par for these greenies to want to ruin that. Most green or mad left policy intentionally or unintentionally ends up hindering humanity.

Oh and thanks for the link.
