Beautifully put! I agree with every word. The WTC has to stop. It's not wanted by anyone I know and to foist it on a captive audience on such a sacred occasion shows a mind blowing lack of respect.

I worked as a Specialist Medical Secretary for 19 years, with a two year job as a GP's receptionist, while simultaneously working for an Orthopaedic Surgeon. When I began working in this profession, I'd been working as a nurse for 23 years. I'd come 8th in the state in my final exams and...

I'm sorry your husband has had this happen to him. As I've written elsewhere, this does happen, but it's rare. His positive attitude is his greatest asset. I wish you both well. When I wrote that a BCC isn't life altering, I was referring to the 23 year old in the article. Also, I got the...

As a former medical professional of 42 years, and having had at least a dozen removed, I know a bit about BCCs. It's a rare situation to have a BCC removed in a hospital. It's almost always done in a GP's surgery or in the rooms of a General Surgeon or Plastic Surgeon. While a specialist may...

Dear god! Talk about first world problems! Get a grip people, and thank your lucky stars you live in a country where you have the means and the freedom to whinge about such an insignificant thing!

I've had multiple BCCs removed and they were all removed in my GP's surgery at no cost. Some were on my face. I think if this woman is looking at $9,000 for such a simple procedure, it's time she found another doctor, one who isn't taking advantage of a young person's medical inexperience to...

I'd be very interested to see the statistics that show pollution from fossil fuels is increasing, because I find it difficult to believe. Also, most studies are showing that natural disasters caused by weather events are decreasing, not increasing. The Bureau of Meteorology specialises in...

This is a bit rude, but apparently it served its purpose. My son went to a comedy festival in Newcastle some years ago. For the purposes of this story, it's important to remember that Newcastle is the world's largest coal exporting port, and consequently, there are always plenty of sailors out...

I worked for a Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon for some years, and this horrifies me because of one case my boss operated on. The patient, let's call him Paul, owned a landscaping business in a large country town in NSW. As we had previously lived in that town and used his services, I was...

Do these idiots not realise that they wouldn't have the freedom to make these dumb choices were it not for our armed forces?

Definitely more money than sense!

Still looking for evidence that any of 'these 4 people were behaving like nazi's'. The 'artist' hasn't given any evidence to support his disgusting display, and neither have those defending him in this group.

I don't care who makes statements, draws cartoons or anything else to lampoon public figures. I have got a giggle myself from cartoons, especially those done by the brilliant Bill Leak, whose son Johannes has taken up where his father left off. Bill died from a heart attack, after a pile on from...

Again, can you give me a concrete fact that proves Nazi like behaviour carried out by each of the four. I keep asking, and so far, I've had no takers. Anything? Anyone?

The difference is that the people depicted in the Australian War Memorial wearing those uniforms, were dyed in the wool, card carrying, fully paid up members of the Nazi Party. As far as I'm aware, the four depicted on the poster, are not, and if they were, they wouldn't be dressed in the...
