Agreed. Punish the politicians, not the people.

G'day. Razzle numbers would be well down here in the Territory if it wasn't for blackfellas and Chinamen. The numbers of old timers are thinning now, sadly, but there's no shortage of local lads in Norforce. A bit OT, but I reckon it's time they were allowed to take more of a "proactive" stance on illegal fishing etc. It's now well past a few hungry foreign villagers feeding their families and the local Norforce members, and aboriginal rangers, could have a real impact into what is a big problem for all of us.
Cheers,

PS not too sure how I posted this comment into the topic below as well, so maybe ya can delete it from there. See ya

Foxhow said what I was thinking.

Armed forces = people willing to put their lives on the line for this country, and when we think of it this way how could anyone knock our armed forces, even if we may disagree with where they are deployed.

For some reason I couldn’t comment when I read this earlier (click, click, click, from nailpolishblues’ post). I have never served but I’ve always admired those who do. It takes a great amount of courage (even if some fail to admit it to themselves) and I’g grateful to people like yourself who put yourselves on the line for the rest of us. A heartfelt thank you.

Thanks for that you fellas… much appreciated! I do worry that a long post is too much to read, but a full brainbox needs emptying at times!;)
No need to thank me for my job Adrian, it was what I signed up to do afterall – but I do appreciate the gesture… Ta mate!
You’ve ’stolen’ a bit of this NPB…? You sure you’ve got a ‘bag’ big enough to stuff it in? There’s definitely enough of it here to go around that’s for sure.
Too true Foxhow… too true.

Undoubtly military service is more than a job for most and effects a major impact on one's pysche. Glad you labelled it a positive experience, generally.

Yes it's true the public don't always appreciate the services, but more and more now Anzac Day is regaining lost credibility for those who choose to serve their country.

I for one love Anzac Day because it brings the military front and centre to a public otherwise too busy to think about and appreciate their sacrifices.

Thanks for doing an often shitty job on our behalf.
