Ricky Muir is probably more representative of the electorate than most elected officials.

Almost certainly. I've been saying this since the election.

On the other hand, Jacqui is actually pretty representative of Tasmanians too :suicide:

Do you think someone who has paid no attention to politics their entire life and votes 1 X party because their parents did is magically more democratically responsible than someone who abstains from voting? They suddenly deserve an opinion and another person doesn't? A pretty big chunk of Australians are fed up with inane and homogenised two party politics but god forbid someone fail to perform their civic duty as an upstanding citizen and abstain from voting because by golly it really matters. Leaning out the window and talking to your neighbour about the mistreatment of asylum seekers is a bigger accomplishment than voting in an election where your preferences will probably elect Ricky loving Muir.

I agree with most of this post but I would take Ricky Muir over any ALP senator in a heartbeat.

Should probably be putting people like Andrew Wilkie and Cathy McGowan forward as champions against the two-party system rather than a dude who throws kangaroo poo poo at people and gets strongarmed by Scott Morrison into sending asylum seekers up the river. I mean Nick Xenophon is a huge piece of poo poo as well but at least he's not a drooling idiot; it's a really American thing to have a lust for parliamentarians who are about as smart as the average voter or preferably worse.

Finally Queensland Health admit how to prevent tooth decay - simply teach kids how to clean their teeth - no need to swallow fluoride

Then from the linked article that apparently supports this:

quote:

"Teeth should be brushed after every meal but where this is not possible they should be brushed morning and night with a fluoride toothpaste, as a bare minimum."..."Always use a toothbrush with soft bristles and a small head and consider having fluoride painted on your children's teeth annually.

The article comments are so amazing

quote:

Tasmania has been fluoridated since 1950's. The State has the worst dental health in the country. The highest rates of Cancer, Parkinson's disease, MS and Asthma (ever notice how Asthma information is all over dental clinics? There's a recognised link between fluoridation chemicals and Asthma). There is also a high percentage of adults and children suffering from Dental Fluorosis Australia wide!

This article fails to note that naturally occurring fluoride is far from the same as the industrial fluoridation chemicals (hydrofluorosilicic acid) dumped in our drinking water. Excess toxic waste from the fertaliser and aluminum industries!

Pete Evans has far more integrity than the author of this spin piece and unlike the author, Evans actually does proper research.

Funny you should mention that.

quote:

"Raw milk products like cheese, fresh cheese in particular if you make it at home, is far more dangerous than stuff you would buy in a shop or stuff you would make from pasteurised milk," Evans told ABC News.

"But it's much less dangerous than things like oysters or seafood, it's much less dangerous than chicken or eggs, and we don't stop people from buying raw oysters or buying raw eggs and trusting them to know what to do with it."

re fluoridation chat.
I have personally stood at the base of Mundaring Weir and watched the pump house fluoridation light thinking about how Kalgoorlie kids have better passive dental health than me.
