The car that runs on air.

Well it may be compressed air but still AIR!! Made by a former Formula 1 engineer - must be good.

Ring me alarm.

An alarm clock that does not make a sound. Interesting...

Here is a poll and an opportunity to comment on why yes or no..

Could you see me in politics?

Australia - The Movie

Went to the Drive-In this weekend and watched Australia. It is a fantastic movie, Baz is a brilliant artist.

Though I had an extremely enjoyable night and loved the movie I left there "ashamed by the colour of my skin". To be honest I am not aware of all of the facts of that period and I will over this year I would like to have a more detailed look into the details of the stolen generation.

Over the weekend I found various accounts about the story portrayed by the movie. This one was not what I had hoped to find.

The "Mission Island" of the film is Bathurst Island, and it was bombed before the onslaught on Darwin.

I do not intend to say that the people that cared for these children did not love and care for the kids in their care but the policy by our government was disgraceful and the actions of some within our public service (police, etc) where shameful. I AM thankful that Kevin Rudd DID make an apology for the government as it is both right and just for him to have done so.

My struggle now is with the Churches involvement in this policy. Did they
1. approve of the policy and carry out the shameful actions of forcefully removing children from their families?
2. carry out care for children that were forcefully removed from their families?

As a Christian I hope that it is the second. If not I feel a sense of shame for the pain that was caused to Aboriginal families by the Church. It is a reminder that we are all fallen people that can only been redeemed by the work that Jesus did on the cross. It is my earnest prayer that what happened in that period of our history will not stop people coming to know Jesus as their Saviour.

Does Australia want their own Obama?

In late 2007 Australia chose Kevin07, but Kevin Rudd is not an Obama.

My question is does Australia want or need an Obama?

I am not talking here about policy, race or religion but about bring together a nation.

I have listened to and watched the following video numerous times. My question how do you actual change this is denominations where the ways are so entrenched.

Putting Things Into Context..

Here is a very interesting and powerful advert that is about to air in America about abortion.

The American Stimulus Package - Obama

Well Obama is a one man stimulus package..

I was watching the channel Ten news last night and was advised that half a billion dollars will be spent on inauguration memorabilia (shirts, pins, Spiderman comics).

Article One

Artilcle Two

One Man... One Day...

It is with great interest that I have followed Obama.

I am halfway through his book The Audacity of Hope, which I would recommend to read. Once you pass the Americanisms and his literary form it is a very interesting insight to who he is.

Today around the World we see the whole world watch Obama. What are we expecting or hoping to see? What we will see is one man, take one job, in one country.

What the World Expects of Obama

It is hard for me to see how one man can take the weight of the whole world. He has been lifted high almost to the level that he is the one to save us from all our current problems. I find this hard to believe and impossible to accept.

Politically I am not sure whether I am a support but I am definitely a follower.

His ability to empower people to be active in seeking community and healthy change is incredible. However I am yet to be convinced of his policy, particularly abortion. I am not agreeable to see a man call himself a Christian and offer abortions to his nation? At the same time you have to chose 1 leader.

Let us all see what unfolds.
