What a mess the world is in. I could not help but cast my mind back nearly 5 years and consider how different the world is today.

It was on the 6th of December 6, 2017 that President Trump recognised Jerusalem, the ancient capital of the Jewish people, as the capital of the State of Israel.

It was a momentous decision and one that the then Prime Minister of Australia, Scott Morrison followed in 2018. 

Yet the current Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong announced  last year that  the Labor Government was going back on the former Prime Minister's decision to recognise West Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

Australia is now, like so many western countries, experiencing rallies and protests where people are chanting " From the River to the Sea " as some sort of war cry to support Palestine and encourage the destruction of Israel as a country..... ?

Flysa spent some of the early years of his life managing construction projects in the northwest of Western Australia to assist in the transportation of iron ore. The projects comprised railways, bridges, and wharves. But how did the iron ore get there? To answer that question, we have to go back a few years.

About 4.5 billion years ago, the Earth was formed as a sphere of molten rock from gases emitted by the Sun. Over millions of years, the surface gradually cooled and formed a solid, uneven, crust with constant upthrust from the molten interior (magma). Volcanic emissions from the molten interior, which broke through the crust, released water vapour into the atmosphere, which gradually condensed and fell as rain, covering the lower depressions in the earth’s surface with water by the force of gravity, thus forming the oceans. Cometary impact also contributed water to the oceans. That all occurred about 3.8 billion years ago. All the time the mountains were pushed up by the magma at the rate of a few millimetres a year, which continues to this day.

This morning I went outside to sit in the sunshine and have a morning cup of tea. The manager of my building complex was mowing the lawn and the smell of the freshly mown grass was in the morning air. Most of us know that smell so well and it triggers memories of childhoods and happy days.  

In November 2021 Anthony Albanese tried to defend his Labor Party stand to disallow producing ID at polling booths. He contended that because the AEC has not prosecuted a single person, despite that years earlier 18,000 people were found to have voted more than once was proof that the system is working well—say what Albo?

Labor and the bloody Greens don't want ID verification because, well, you figure why. Furthermore, if the AEC were to prosecute any of the 18,000 that Albanese considers as mere "errors" it would highlight the fact that the system is wide open to fraud. Also, if they could prove multiple voting by any person what would they do with that person’s vote? Is the perpetrator suddenly going to be honest and tell to whom his illegal vote was cast so it could be withdrawn? Ho, Ha,Ha, Get real!

When I was a young lass, I was a fencer. No, not the farming type that wandered around the farm putting up wire and posts to keep stock in a paddock. I mean a swish swish, off with their heads type of fencer. 

So I was shocked to hear a man had won the women's veterans fencing championships in Florida.  

USA Fencing said ...an "important first step toward expanding access to the sport of fencing and creating inclusive and safe spaces that promote equality and fairness for all."

So, just how does this promote equality and fairness for all?

Fairness to all that is, unless of course, you were born a woman. Until the athletes stand up, refuse to compete, or form their own competitions away from these governing bodies, this will not stop.
