#110. That was mentioned in the article and was the only legal way to bypass the death penalty was to have the operation for change of sex , which I assume would be inaffordable to the mainstream of the population. Am just wondering why if can’t find again why it was taken off . JS

Re: Correct or not
Our gov has instituted a look at supermarket practices claiming price gouging.
But ours make the same level of overall profit as most in western countries , that is about 4% of total sales.
One report said many prices are high due to lack of competition.
One such area is the cost of international flights.
Was the gov responsible for that, of course not they said.
All they did was ban an additional 20 flights a week from one airline so QUANTAS would not lose customers to them.

Re: Correct or not
#115 I wouldn’t put too much faith in the government at this present moment in time John.
Just been listening to Bob Katter, what ever party he belongs to is the only politician who speaks it as it is. Money apart from being the root of all evil is the legal tender of this country and as such the banks have no legal right to with hold it from their owners. The country should have had a say on it , obviously they must have got a nudge nudge wink wink from the poor exercises of the present government . Living in the bush towns where everything goes on the producing the money on purchases is going to cause a lot of trauma for people. Anyhow Bob Katter has the right attitude and it is not in the banks c.v. To be able to make such decisions without a referendum. Bankwest which is owned by the Commonwealth Bank are closing their doors this month , I left the Commonwealth bank over 25 years ago for the exorbitant bank charges and will have to see if they still do so. They have a nerve and will get away with it unless people put up their hand to be counted. JS.

Re: Correct or not
hi john sabourne #113
good evening, you most likely cannot find it again because it ironically actually mocked the west , in as much as to state that the iranians where forcing their limp wristed bretheren to undertake castration and become a woman when in fact the west states it is helping children to be castrated and given drugs all their lives to offset their male testosterone problems, therefore im not surprised to see the article no longer in print,
The problem is that we in the west are being re-educated and socially managed to conform to the ideals of those whom are pulling the strings,
Did you know that when elon musk bought twitter for forty billion dollars he had to sack some of the highest paid appointees, Why well because they where all on the american goverments payroll and in the employ of the CIA,thats how the american goverment was controlling private citizans conversations when the covid was at it height.
Take for instance something that has happened recently in newcastle uk there is a woman supporter a geordie to boot whom has been barred from all matches for two seasons because she put out on social media that trannies are not women, thats all she stated, But the club at st james park owned incedently by saudi arabia whom are not shy about throwing limp wristed bretheren off the top of buildings themselves, Well they had their own investigative team find this woman and every detail of her life which took four months of investigation to complete before they tracked her down to her home and proceeded to bar her from further matches for two and a half years.
welcome back to the uk.

Re: Correct or not
One of the the things the Farmers want in France is the scrubbing of a law denying them the right to till ALL their land, the mob in Brussels who I consider the children of Hitler insist that they leave a huge part of their farms fallow, which in my eyes will send the price of farm produce sky high, this is for the middle man to increase his profits.

Re: Correct or not
Been with Commonwealth bank now over 40 years, no worries with them, and no account keeping fees.
About 30 years ago there were charging $ 5 per month.
Went into my branch and told them with all I have with you, mortgage, term deposit, super and you want to charge me more.
Stop or I will go elsewhere, never paid a cent since.
Lot of complaints from farmers about the price at the farm gate for meat and price in supermarkets.
In Coles yesterday they have Lamb Cutlets at $35.99 a kilo.
Just outside the store is a butchers with Lamb Cutlets at $49.99 a kilo and a sign saying grass fed.
People queuing to buy his meat!!!!!!
