To get a handle on this one, Just do a Google search on Joh Bjelke-Petersen......."Don't You worry about that". The results, however, will reveal a comedy of errors, so be sure to have a few boxes of Kleenex handy. Some antics will have you rolling on the floor in tears of laughter...others will result in tears of sorrow for the poor unfortunate Queenslanders who suffered under his reign.

As for Pauline Hanson....one time politician and prison inmate...well I think Jafo adequately covered it, but you'd need to type in 'please explain' to do a Google on her

When it comes to politicians, unfortunately, Australia is usually scraping the bottom of the barrel, not that we're alone there. Seems like it's a worldwide epedemic, given the 6 Oclock news most nights

Hanson is one of those white supremacists who likes to call it 'patriotic'.  She has the IQ of a retarded gnat and a head like the north end of a South-bound camel.

Think of her as the nadir of Aussie Politics...

I googled both of them. He doesn't seem to be all that well liked, but reminds me of most politicians I can think of. One statement I found interesting was in the Wiki article that called him anti-intellectual. On the other hand she has a bit of a fan club as well as the opposite. As someone growing up in the US south during the 60's she's quite famaliar also. And I agree Jafo....from the pics I saw she's an ugly b*tch.

I'd have to agree with you there, Jafo....her political views/aspirations were/are repulsive. The analogy to the South-bound camels derierre, however, could give it a bit of a complex Think what you saw on TV was/is bad? Before moving to Tassie, I had the scariest of misfortunes to walk obliviously into her Ipswich fish 'n chip shop once....'tis absolutely remarkable what make-up and TV can conceal.

Yep....and the kind of wife any fascist/dictator would kill for/to have.

I seem to be contradicting you alot lately....that's great peanut farm down below....unless barred there as well, for fear he'd try to take over and run it like he did Qld

Those look like Nile crocs, still nasty if you fall in the river, but the Australian Saltwater Crocodile can grow somewhat larger and is considered by many to be the most dangerous.

Actually, you had a couple of our biggest over in the States, Oscar and Gomek, both of whom were in excess of 17 ft, and I believe, were also used for parts of the movie,Lake Placid.

As for the American tourists, however, I can think of a few Aussies I'd rather see blindfolded in a croc farm.

No argument from me, there ...I stand corrected. But this Queenslander's tipping that Lucifer got sick of Joh's rantings somewhere into the first five minutes.

..sent him into limbo.

My guess is that even Lucifer himself would've gringed when Joh's impending arrival was anounced, thus he refused to answer the door.....for fear of being upstaged

Actually, the crocodile is not native to the North American continent....so what they've really got are Nile Crocs or Aussie imports. And we got alot more they can have....saves the plane fare/trip

And nowhere as mean as our crocs, either.....in fact, we're a bit like Texas but bigger....we got the biggest, baddest, meanest, most 'ornery critters known to man.....and we still go outdoors?

Does that make Aussies extremely brave.....or extremely foolish?

Supposedly the Croc in the pic was killed while swimming down a street in New Orleans after the hurricane. It was scheduled to undergo a disembowelment to see if it had any remains in it. We have native gators and native crocodiles both. Our crocs don't get out much....what with living in the Everglades and Mississippi Delta. So if they happen to occasionally eat someone nobody notices.

I was of the understanding that the crocodile was an introduced species, native only to the Southern Hemiphere. According to some articles I've read, it dates back to the late 1800's, early 1900's, when it was considered fashionable to keep exotic pets, such as baby crocs and pythons, etc. When these creature outgrew their owners abilities to safely manage them, they were released into the wild, where they bred and thus became a part of the habitat. Now I'm curious....shall investigate further.

In getting back to the daylight savings.....I'm wondering if it has any effect on crocs and gators, given that their size and gender is supposedly dependant on how much warmth the eggs get from the sun during incubation

I read an article that New Englanders had been spotting gators of the coast of Maine.

That doesn't surprise me, actually.....spotting animals a considerable distance from their normal habitats, in less than expected situations.
When I lived in Queensland Australia, I saw reasonably sized White Pointers 40 to 50 miles upstream in the Brisbane River....probably attracted by the efluent discharged into the river by a nearby meatworks.
When in Rockhampton on Qld's central coast, I saw a 10 foot saltwater croc in the Fitzroy River, some 700 to 800 miles from its normal, tropical environment in the North.

I remember seeing a similar situation on TV, when a Beluga Whale 'presumably' got lost several miles up-river somewhere near Washington, but I guess the real scoop would be a positive sighting of Nessie and capturing it on film
