Thank you Ken for posting the link I wonder would he support the idea of astronomy along the lines we are coming up with.. I bet he would see the merit of the idea. He, Mr John Howard and me have something in common after all
, most of my work was conveyancing at an office in Hornsby. I think Mr Howard had an office at Eastwood do you know where Mr Peter Garrett was? Well if GW is going to be part of our lives we will need scientists by the truck load. Australian scientists have contributed so much to the world...
and Australians have lead the world in land titles as Mr Garret would tell you..Mr Torrens (hence the term Torrens Title) used the same idea as used for large ship registration which if you had to deal with the earlier system you could appreciate what a step forward that was.
One reason why our politics really works well is because of the lawyer content of parliment I mean look at so many countries that draw their pollies from military backgrounds .. there is a difference in approach that helps peaceful process in this country .. lots of places it is not good at all.
still how much better would we be if most MPs were astronomers or scientists
