Today, the best solutions to Humanity and public welfare are brought out by democratic debates through Political institutions through out the world. But the implementation of such solutions are hindered by vested interests through the judicial-system of the land, which has defeated the roots of democracy or thebasics of Human-welfare.

I have just purchased an apartment in western sydney. I've done various inspections but none at night. Last night i went over to show my folks the place i'd bought when i heard the whole roof vibrating. It is caused by an exhaust fan on my roof from the chinese restaurant down stairs which only operates at night.
I'm afraid i'll have trouble keeping tennants with this noise... does anyone out there know how to handle this problem legally in australia??? I want to know as much as i can before i approach the body corporate and the owner of the restaurant. Any help would be appreciated.

PS. the fan and ducting are installed in a sub standard way where the duct is sitting directly on the roof tiles and the fan has someserious shaking going on.

He and his family are Yankees from Massachussetts? Do you know this? That GW's grandpa was a Senator of Massachussetts, and backed Hitler? Do you know that their whole entire family has lived off of our tax dollar? IRS? That they were party to starting the IRS? duh? I wonder why? Do you know their allegiances are to Britain and Germany by heritage? And they are not loyal to America? They govern as royales? Just comment I would like to hear them? If you are a Chinese person or what ever and you are born here would you not still have family and relations in your country where your heritage comes from? Like the Afro-Americans? I am a native this is my nation of origin thank you very much. I think it is a joke to watch that fancy short guy mount a horse and try and ride, he is a tender foot. Do you see the stradegy here? Why were both sons placed in a primary extremely important area as governors? Gulf of Mexico? Bush family hs too much power?

You talk about how the liberals have no plan but its you that does not have one. You constanty change your plans. Look at Iraq and the war on terror, have you achieved anything? nooothing! you are second class citizens in my opinion and if Gd wills it you will be destroyed as a party. America does not trust you anymore based on your continuous lies and flipflops.

My sis and b.i.l. have had 2 kids taken away. The first under unproven allegations of abuse, and the second son never even got to leave the hospital - CPS showed up and took him before he was even 36 hours old.

My first nephew has been in CPS custody for nearly a year and a half (75% of his life) and 2nd nephew since he was born in November (didn't even have a chance to bond with his own mother). Sis's caseworker has even stated to them that they have no evidence whatsoever that substantiates the allegations from the first son, even though they have been sued by the state (and papers claim the state DOES have evidence.) Sis and BIL have done each and every thing the CPS ordered them to do - twice (parenting classes, counseling, etc.) Oh, and my sis is disabled. Not physically, but she is bipolar and has SSDI. Her doc's (3 of them) signed statements that she does not, at present, need meds 'cause she is stable, but CPS said she will never get her kids back without being on meds. Help!!

hi i'm studying in australia now and for some reason i need to extend my student visa. and my malaysian passport will expire end of 2007. i want to extend both together but i'm in australia and not going back to malaysia. can i extend my passport in australia? for my visa they say i need to do body checkup again which will cost me about $300(plus the visa itself i think is $400, which adds up to $700!!) but someone else told me i don't have to do the body checkup. which one should i believe? and i heard that i can't travel anywhere (go back to malaysia) within 6 months of my passport expiry date. so does that mean i can't go back to malaysia to extend my passport and visa after June so i have to do it now?thanks for the answers as i can't find other answers anywhere else.

I see Liberals as the biggest threat to my rights. Why? They try to tell me what I should drive, never bothering to find out if I might - work with me here - actually NEED a big truck. We own a small farm - farms need trucks. We have a tractor, too. Is that bad?

They tell us not to hunt. I don't personally hunt, but I reap the benefits from having many friends and family members who do. Our freezer always has moose in it. Sometimes sheep and caribou, too. So what if the hunter takes a trophy? The meat gets eaten. Only a moron wastes good meat. Besides, game is much, much healthier. Our beef supply is full of hormones and antibiotics. Have at it - but I'll keep my moose, thanks.

They tell us where to smoke. I'm an ex-smoker and I really hate the smell of cigarettes. But - they ARE legal and people who smoke DO have rights, too. Hell, they won't even leave it up to a business owner to decide if he/she wants to allow smoking - what about THEIR rights?

They tell us not to trap, oror wear fur. Well, too bad. Most people I know who trap, trap for the money. It's been a way of life here LONG before you or I came along. It's a cultural tradition here, going straight back to the Natives. Fur is not only a renewable resource, it's non-toxic and does not pollute the environment. How much pollution is put into our environment by all these fancy, high-tech materials?

They say we shouldn't log. Forest management is a necessity - just look at how awful the fires in California have been. Mother Nature has always used fire as a way to keep the forest healthy - we can either do it ourselves, and not have such horrible fires, or she'll take care of it. Instead of wasting all that wood AND polluting the environment with all that smoke, why shouldn't someone make a living off of it?

Liberal teachers say they don't have time to raise our kids - and they're right, they don't. So why are so many children being taught liberal propaganda? A little boy on my husband's side of the family was riding along with his grandmother a couple of years ago. They passed a man cutting down a dead, rotten tree, and the poor kid burst into tears. Gran asked him what was wrong, and he replied, "That man is cutting down that tree! We're all going to die!" Where did he learn that? SCHOOL.

My nephew lives in a very small town and is growing up in a very typical small-town Alaska manner. He hunts, fishes, and traps. When he was six, his parents had to go down to the school - some liberal moron was lecturing this kid because he likes to hunt and trap. Gee, you're right - it would be *so* much better if he just sat in front of a television every night, lost for hours in a video game.

My best friend pulls her sons out of school each fall to go moose hunting with their father. She had to go to THEIR elementary school more than once to tell a liberal teacher to mind their own damned business - the boys were given a bad time because they hunt. That's total BS.

Liberals only support freedom of speech if it is speech they agree with. Just look at how poorly INVITED Conservative speakers are treated on colleges all across the country. Hell, I'm a right-leaning Libertarian who works for a university - diversity my ***. I know of 5 other right-leaning employees - and I've worked in 6 different departments. And trust me - politics always comes up.

We didn't decorate for "the holidays" last year, or hold our annual "holiday" party. (We're not allowed to call it Christmas. Damn - what's that about freedom of speech? Or religion? Hmmm.) Why didn't we? A far-left nut job professor had a screaming fit at her admin the year before. Why? Because I actually had the nerve to put an ornamant on the "holiday" tree that said (this would be a good time to get the children out of the room) "Merry Christmas". Yep, that's right - the "C" word. Right out there for all to see. This hag THREW the ornament at her admin, screaming (we could hear it down the hall) "THIS HAS NO PLACE ON A UNIVERSITY CAMPUS!" Really? So, I guess that diversity thing only applies to non-Christians?

Look what the ACLU did for NY schools. It's perfectly okay to display the Jewish Menorah, or the Muslim Star and Crescent - RELIGIOUS SYMBOLS - in public schools, but don't you dare have a Nativity scene.

WHO'S trampling on our rights?!?

Hypocrisy, thy name is liberal....

The representive of the country are to be dynamic, energic and educated, they have to move around to find out the problems in the particular area, so that the development in the particular area leads to development of the country. There are lot areas in the country where the politicians not even bothered to have a glance, how you will expect that the country going to develop due to allowing the candidates irrespective of their age.
