[...] looking very tight, and the near certainty there will be at least 2 and plausibly as many as 5 MPs elected as Independents* or Greens, the possibly of a hung Parliament – whether neither major party wins the 45 seats needed to form [...]

Phil:

The “American foreigners” you refer to are our allies.

Pine Gap is a secret government facility for very good reasons. You can’t have just anyone poking about in places like that and revealing important strategic information.

I think anyone who goes in there deserves whatever jail term he/she receives.

Shame about your correction Don – I thought “keep the barstands honest” had a certain ring to it.

You go ahead and report your “strange event” if you wish. Technically I didn’t delete your comment from this blog – I just ensured it never appeared in the first place.

You may believe the comments you made are true, but (a) truth is actually not a full defence against defamation, abd (b) just because the people you name have not disputed the veracity of your assertions, it does not follow that they are true. I had some false and misleading things said about me in the media some years ago. Just because I chose not to dispute them at the time doesn’t make them true – then or now.

With todays news about Pine Gap Federally.I hope Queenslanders find in themselves to punish the ALP further for taking for granted the citizenry of this country in relationship to the use of the Pine Gap facility by American Foreigners.Firstly,I am willing to protest,and spend seven years in jail,because of this contemptious ALP law.Neither Mischief maker or Sinister.I just dont want the American military to have more say than me.If these ALP types want to close down opinion about the American Military do so by democratic means,and persuade us they the American Military are not sinister and making mischief for Australians by going along with this disgusting stupid law.The two Ministers involved lack any credibility with me.Anyone going up that way soon.Contact me via snail mail via Andrew here.No military reason will stop me . If the Northern Territory Police or Federal Police arrest me…..then they will be showing contempt for an Australian who hasn’t even got a bloody passport,or a dual citizen.

Hello Mr Andrew Bartlett,

I have noted comments dated 13 March 2009 have been deleted from your blog. Via Twitter I will report this strange event to our Premier. On Crikey’s “Wherefore art thou, Mr Beattie” was deleted in its entirety once a substantive matter was reported honestly in the public domain.

Keep the barstands honest & pigs might fly too!

Ken:

They could hardly be smiling at one another if they’re both facing the same way – but I guess anything could be going on behind the scenes.

I think most people would know that a lot of Greens are members of the Labor Party.
