Michael, you have had (are having) an amazing life. Hope your brother is OK.

It's a shame that in his latter years Fraser was so vocal in his anti Liberal Party views. May he rest in peace.

One piece? I think auto-correct got your last word. But vale Malcolm. Unwavering in pursuit of his beliefs.

Michael; I take on board your comment---------------but I do not understand his welcoming intake of Lebanese--------especially Muslims.

There's NO cheap politicking on this site but
underlying substance. First with Whitlam and now
with his old sparring partner Malcolm Fraser.
Those who criticise either of these political giants
in Australian political history are not necessarily
'cheap politicking'. But on this site and say, Andrew Bolt's
one sees integrity, underlying principles and respect.

Rest in piece? "requiescant in pace", Latin for rest in peace.

Michael ..its rest in PEACE

Good morning xx That must of been a hard time in your life and that of your brothers.. The angel message for this morning is "It is safe for you to be powerful. You know how to be powerful in a loving way that benefits others as well as yourself"..

Michael, I read the article regarding Kathy Jackson in the Australian today... seems to me you lost the plot for a woman... happens all over the world for thousands of years... and now you are paying the price.... So, come clean, continue to stand up for what is right and just and I shall continue to support you..... Jackson is waiting for the will payout, you on the other hand had nothing to offer but collaboration of her lies and behaviour and when this was not needed you were gone, thats why she dumped you after the "Charity Shag" that got you onside.....Leave the power of the pussy alone mate and continue with your core business, it makes much better reading than the ammunition you have just given Gillard and her mates....

Hello Michael, I have to line up with Thomo on this one. Any of us would be grateful to someone who springs a misguided do-gooder when they get caught up in nasty overseas wars, but it was their choice to interfere. Why do they go to these godforsaken holes?This must especially be true if the 'victim' is one's family. However, Frazer really was a tosser as Prime Minister; it seems he was just as inept as his nemesis Whitlam. I'm sure both these fools will eventually be consigned to a mere footnote in Australian history. Just look at the outcome from Frazer's major "achievements'; destroying Smithy's Rhodesia and South Africa, Championing aboriginal land rights and multi culturalism .
Those worked out well, didn't they ?
'Zimbabwe' and 'The Rainbow Nation' are now broke and ruled by black popinjays; The aboriginal are sinking ever deeper into squalor depravity and self delusion, and multiculturalism has bought us.....Terrorism. Well done, Malcolm.

The 7.30 Report covered the release of Pratt and Wallace on 2 September 1999. Malcolm Fraser gets a mention; he was one of a number of prominent people who worked hard behind the scenes to secure their release. As Chairman of Care Australia at that time, he would have had to pull out all stops to secure the release of his employees who were caught in a war zone - his organisation had a duty of care.

Thanks for the tip, I went out and bought it. I could say I told you so, but I'm above that.

Evil flourishes whilst good men, or good critics, do nothing. Luckily, some are prepared to get their hands dirty. Nasty overseas wars too soon become domestic crisis if nothing is done. Unfortunately mankind has only three dominant mind sets.
1. What has this got to do with me?
2. What can I do to help my fellow man?
3. How can I personally profit from this suffering?

Another side to Malcolm Fraser. Maybe Ricky Muir had his support.

"Mr Fraser's love affair with the automobile was no secret and in 1976 he test drove a Ford Fairlane, then the staple of the Government's executive car fleet, for Wheels magazine.

A follow-up article was published in 2008 when Ford ended Fairlane production.

"It's got a lot of lift, hasn't it," the then 78-year old said of Ford's 220kw curtain call.

Hot Fords were something he knew a little about. On October 2, 1977, Mr Fraser presented the Bathurst 1000 trophy to Allan Moffat after Ford's dramatic one-two finish. Moffat and Jacki Ickx had crossed the finish line one metre ahead of the sister car driven by Colin Bond and Alan Hamilton.

Mr Fraser's signature car is probably the immaculately restored 1963 model Lancia Flaminia V6 that was, for a short time, on display at the National Car Museum in Birdswood, South Australia.

"I don't think I'll ever sell it," he once told a reporter, "I've put too much into it."

The museum confirmed on Friday the car had been returned to the family some years ago.

His Lancia Flaminia Zagato Supersport was awarded the Lancia Factory Trophy for the best post-war restoration at the national Lancia rally in 2005."

Great advice don't chase pussy or love for it will find you when you need it in your life for that is how universal energy works and those that are meant to be in your life will be, as everyone does come in for a reason or a season.. count KJ and that episode of your life as a passing season and take your lessons away and run for you can't control other people and how you think they should be, I find it safe not to expect things from others as it only brings disappointments for in the end it is only yourself that you can rely on for you know who you are or you should so you don't give others free kicks with your emotions.. enough from me I will try and be quiet now.. so keep smiling baby and close that chapter.. xx

No you're not and even you know it. You're just a sad person fighting for relevance where you can find none.

Michael Smith has more integrity and morals than you could ever hope to aspire to and you could learn a lot from him if you could ever manage to open your mind and that eye that is firmly closed.

Lest we Forget.
Fraser was given a huge mandate by the Australian People to put a stop to the disruptions caused by unnecessary Union Stoppages. A mandate in both Houses of parliament.
What did he do?
Nothing!!!

Yes Maggie, Malcolm Fraser had a lot to be proud of when he served our nation as prime minister, most younger people would not know how bad the Gough Whitlam Labor Government years had been including them attempting to break the law by ignoring the Loans Council to attempt to borrow billions of dollars without seeking the required permission and dealing with a shady foreign money lender before being exposed (The Age Tapes).

They would also swallow the ABC propaganda about The Dismissal that never was. Whitlam was invited to continue as acting prime minister if he would call an election within months, he refused to cooperate. Opposition Leader Fraser was then invited to become acting PM and call an election and he agreed.

Fraser unfortunately moved to the left of centre from the right of centre and seemed to get involved in matters that made him look foolish resulting in many conservatives writing him off.

In my opinion Fraser made an error of judgement when he refused to allow Treasurer Howard to proceed with a major economic reform plan (The Campbell Report) that he and permanent head of treasury John Stone had created. Hawke Labor Australia and Lange Labour New Zealand adopted the plan. Australia unfortunately only proceeded part of the way with the reform plan, New Zealand adopted all of it and the Howard Government completed it here.

But on the other hand the Fraser Government did manage well through a recession inherited from the Whitlam years and handed over to Hawke Labor in 1983 when the recession was over.

Are you suggesting he conned himself?
