Men in white coats are coming
We have here in the Oz Feral upper house, the Senate, a member who is one of a kind as the only member of the Democratic Labor Party or DLP as it is known.
Recently all Senators were awarded a pay rise of $40,000 per annum.
But this senator has decided he does not require it, he is gifting it in small parcels to schools to buy equipment so that students may continue to gain proficiency in non acedemic subjects.
The money has been used mainly in technical schools to buy items from which students may learn a trade such as Blacksmith etc.
There has been no comment from any SDenator or MP about this behavior but it is rumoured the men in the white coats are after him!
Happy daze John in Oz.
Life is too short to blend in.
