Update

Update 1: Congratulations to the fabulous All Blacks and Richie McCaw who must be NZ Man of the Year. The decider last Saturday night was nail biting stuff, and a great win - the Tri Nations for the fourth year in a row and the Bledisloe for Five in a row.

Update 2: The unvaccinated baby remains unvaccinated, now a month old and the parents arent in hiding any more. They had a celebratory lunch the other day, the father quoted as saying the Doctors concern for the baby was "just garbage", and the Herald headline was "Vaccine Victory for Rebel Parents with a Cause" A spokeswoman for the Australian Vaccination Network - an extremist antivaccination lobby group - Meryl Dorey said the case was "a sign that justice can win out" The final outcome will not be known for a few years of course - I just hope the crazy gamble these people have taken with the life of their child doesnt go pear shaped and the kid die with liver failure - if it did you wouldnt hear about it from the Australian Vaccination Network and Spokeswoman Meryl Dorey, but shouldnt they be held accountable in some way?

Update 3: Tim Johnston the Firrepower conman has stayed well away from Australia. Apparently he's in London trying to set himself up doing what he knows best : ripping gullible people off.

Update 4: Tony Wood the antidrugs campaigner who was going to stand in the Local Council elections that were held last weekend, has disappeared without trace. His name was not on the Ballot paper for Warringah Council, and I cant find any further references to him in the Press. Maybe he pulled out once he realised his single issue campaign was never going to get off the ground. But there has been so much in the news about the war on drugs all round the world about police and soldiers killing and being killed, about the massive amount of money being spent on this futile endeavour which could be eliminated almost overnight if we just let adults be free to make whatever choices they wanted to about such things. Yep, heaps of them would make dumb choices but then thats what growing up is all about. Society would mature and get over it eventually, but it never will this way.

Update 5: The Bali Bombers have not been executed yet, but there was an item in the paper the other day saying they had said their last farewells to their families and the end was near....

Update 6: I am still going to Post on Global Warming.Its a HUGE issue...watch this space Folks.
