I should also add that I am so disappointed that people are buying into the no refugee argument and stopping the boats (that's how most of our refugees arrive - as you can probably imagine if you have half a brain) and looking after Australians first etc. Same bullshit your right wing idiots sprout over there and everywhere else in the world.

Australia has been condemned by every international humanitarian body over the last few years for our vicious policies associated with refugees and illegal immigrants, and I am ashamed that our politicians continue to allow it to happen, but it seems there are more selfish bitter arseholes in this world wanting a hand out than there are people who actually give a shit about children being raped and molested in refugee camps, all at the pleasure of our politicians.

Australia is a country that can help its own citizens if they care to ask for it. We have a pretty good social services system which is available to every citizen whether they pay tax or not. The real issue is the breakdown of the family unit and loss of trust in our neighbours, which is constantly eaten away at by stupid slogans, biased media reporting and a right wing government who only benefits the wealthy and financially independent.

Then run for office and change it.

Oh Noes, another Maggie Thatcher!

Except I think that Ali is smarter.

xoxoxoBruce · 06-22-2016, 12:46 PM

Yes, but that's a handicap for a politician.

Aliantha · 06-22-2016, 10:34 PM

I'm not sure if I could put up with the bullshit associated with actually being in politics, but I think we need better options for our votes here. My husband has often thought about going into politics also, but I'm not sure if he will ever pursue that idea or not.

xoxoxoBruce · 06-22-2016, 10:58 PM

You could be the power behind the throne.

I think I may have missed something. Was there a reconciliation, or is this a new husband? Or is this old news to everyone else and I'm just being a dingbat?

xoxoxoBruce · 06-23-2016, 11:12 PM

No your not, I didn't know if she was speaking of his political notions in the past tense, or referring to him as husband with current notions. I'm not even sure if they divorced or just separated.

Is it even relevant?

Clodfobble · 06-24-2016, 10:21 AM

To people who care about their friends, yes.

Aliantha · 06-24-2016, 08:25 PM

We are separated, so he's still my husband. We're not in any danger of reconciling at this point, but it is the end goal at some stage. There have been a lot of changes in attitudes over the last year or so, so we will just see what the future holds.

We're taking a family holiday with all of us (me him and all the kids) in a few weeks for a week. I'm sure the results of that will be telling. I'm hopeful that things will go well.

That's it in a nutshell. Obviously there's a lot more to the story, so Clod, don't feel bad. I stopped updating my thread that I started about my journey because I decided it was a bit precious and no one really wants to know all the bits and pieces.

Are you going to holiday in Orlando so he can come out of the closet?
