Weel, old Labour tried to hold the money makers to ransom with Union thuggery. When the Old labour was demolished they had to bend over and accept facts. Old habits die hard and new Labourers were called for. If the dole and basic wages are close, things work better.

Probably when they realise they're drowning in scum. You may be dead by then but I'm sure they'll bless your soul in heaven. Aside with the jokes, what constitutes a foreign scumbag? I'd really like to know.

The apology is a step in the right direction in the very least, but I'd doubt that will fix everything. sexual abuse is a serious crime, no amount of finance will ever cure the psychological damage it causes unless the money is used on QUALITY care that will actually make a real difference to the state of mind of a sexual abuse victim. NZ currently lacks in that department, although there have been some developments there is still a need for quality rehabilitation programs for people in this predicament.

I would think the same of Australia. At least they get an apology, NZ agencies are still playing the blame game, there's hundreds who require an apology here aswell. I take my hat off to the Australian Prime Minister, at least he's doing right by his nation.

Rudd, didn't apologise voluntarily he was forced to, the whole sorry saga was about to hit the fan because the documents involved with this were about to be released from the official secrets act. The churches influence is diminishing as more an more evidence of their debauchery and true reality is revealed. So the politicians had to take the first step or they would have been accused of covering it up, which they have been doing for more than 50 years.

If you knew Rudd you would see it's just good PR for him; he's into empty symbolic gestures because they cost nothing and he gets lots of brownie points for them.

When it comes to real action, he is known as the do-nothing PM.

The Aussies are apologizing? Britain's the child abuse and pedophilia capital of the world. If those kids remained in Britain their bungholes would be 50% wider thanks to all the pedos there. They'd probably be on some creep's hard drive right now dressed up in a day-glo thong while some Limey nonce drools over them...no, they did the right thing getting out of Limeyland.

Muslims mostly. The kind of filth that although raised in Britain, hate everything it stands for. The advocates of multiculturalism have ended up with egg on their face, due to the increasingly large role British born muslims are playing in Afghanistan and various other conflict zones.

As I said earlier, it will take more than words to make a full apology for the mess that has developed over this whole saga. Why so much secrecy? And by churches? It makes one want to burn down the nearest church, but what good would that do? Despite that I still believe in the goodness of having an establishment that does not discriminate against people, but rather gives people hope that they can overcome such pain and suffering. The quality of help from such establishments can only be hindered by those who control it, ie people again.

There's no doubting that he's out to win votes, I understand the nature of politics and business, it's not always guaranteed. But he was Australia's choice of PM at the end of the day and I'm sure if he was given a magic wand he would use it to fix everything that he possibly could, but the fact remains, he's also a human being who relys on the support of those who placed him where he is today. So most of the action would undoubtedly be carried out by those he deems qualified to help remedy the problems that have developed over time. Would have been alot better if this was done earlier though.

Okay so they were given entry into Britain for reasons I have yet to understand. They obviously abuse the rights and priviledges that they are given when they enter Britain. It makes sense why people find them so intolerable, I must admit I too feel that way at times about certain others. I have no idea what you have to put up with over there, but I'm guessing by what I see on international news that it's very big and ugly. So I guess the question to ask would be: Is there a way forward for Britain and other Commonwealth countries without resorting to a complete ban of other cultures? And wouldn't shipping/flying them off just cause more trouble for Britain? How do we tolerate such ignorance without wasting our time and energy on getting angry?

Also, how do we tolerate the disrespect we tend to get from such foreigners without getting anti? These questions and so much more will need to be pondered in order for you and I to move forward and more importantly, enjoy what we have within our reach. Life is for living, we need to remember that.

He was Australia's choice for PM because his rhetoric seemed positive but now that he has some power to make real and positive change, as with the carbon emmissions trading scheme, we see that he is a very cunning politician who is shafting his own people and benefitting the worst offending polluters to the detriment of the environment whilst claiming to be protecting it (and imposing punitive taxes on the people and on clean industries in the process).
