Beware the lollipop of Mediocrity - Lick it once and You'll Suck Forever.

Well what a revelation today was. If ever we needed proof that Oz is the arse end of the world then today, it came. Check it: A family from overseas have been living here for over ten years, their kids have only ever known this country. They were given what they asked for ten years ago, a permanent residency visa and they started to make their new home, away from guns and bombings.

This week the immigration department found they had made an error in issuing the visa and have denied the family their residency. The family are being deported today. Now this might seem bad enough but wait, There's more! Because this is Oz and we are so stranded in the backwaters of the world and because we are stuck up to our knees in the sticky mud of our dogma, not only are we going to deport this wonderful family, we are going to send them the bill for it!!!! 

Yup, that's right folks, we are not going to reconsider this matter at all, even though it was our mistake and you have made a new life here for ten years - and also, we are going to make you pay for your deportation as well! The father of the group wouldn't sign the documents of agreement and the department can't underdstand why. Gee, I dunno.

So, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Oz, please wind your watches back twenty years and be careful not to step in our dogma. I hate these bureacrats, so unfeeling and stupid and they make the rest of us look stupid; we aren't really that backward arsed you know, we're really quite nice once you get to know us.

In other gnus, so many of you asked for baby pics of my son "Purgatory.mindsay.com" that I have decided to post one. I warn you he was a pretty ugly baby though....
