Present 1.

Having nothing else to do a consequence of flu, took up the issue of the March blog.
During this period viewed a video (a subject of the March agenda) and had time to
concentrate on the radio for company.  However, found emphasis on the so called Port Arthur
incident -- from our Anzac Day 25/04 till 28/04 -- the enforced federal government buy
back, the trotting out of the PM (now retired), in conflict with the subject of the video
confusing as well as disconcerting.  With shock-jocks, news readers one after another
repeating the platitude "Australia is now a safer place" -- the buy back of rifles circa
1997.  Twenty years later, and the viewed doco. apparently produced before the Paris
incident late 2015, the subsequent Brussels incident earlier this year and not forgetting
the increased refugee invasion of Europe. We the Australian people are to believe
disarmament of (our) subject people in a time of increasing threat, when politicians take
the attitude the threat can be managed with probable collateral damage to people and
property -- two incidents in N.S.W. recently -- makes this country safer?!?!

Now what did members see on the streamed content with sub-titles.  It can be called a tri-
state endeavour by a Israeli production company who visited: Sweden, Malmoe its suburb
Rosengaard; France's Marseilles and Montfermiel and oft time Denmark to interview a English
speaking sociologist and author.  Journey for our members starts in Sweden.  Significant
(with members in mind) a Swedish girl was raped the up-shot a riot, conclusion the Arab
blokes declaring a "right of passage" now to be recognised in their new adopted(?)
homeland.  We (members) can deduce from what followed -- its there transcribed -- the
Swedish girls don't mind offering it up to Arab boys, if the boys will offer Hashish down
to the girls.  Thereafter the Danish Mafia arrive from over the ..., anyhow this indicated
a momentary patting-down of conduct and a heighten tension among the Arab lads in
Rosengaard.  Rosengaard Arab held, presumed a gehetto of choice or chosen?!?!  Now to France
for this purpose -- as the production crew moved forward and back between states named
(above).

As presented Marsellies with a lady mayor, Algerian, accordingly confessing her ancestry.
 Seems Marsellies is relatively peaceful.  However, Montfermiel with a male mayor a French
man with historical "homeland" ancestry, here the history of Arab occupancy shown to be
intimidating and violent, with a momentous disturbance 2005.  Now as we members gain some
insight into what is a growing peril, two scenes one of a  caffè latte  set, could be anywhere
where there's Arab threat, a discussion among English speaking French people of
interrogation and assimilation; the other, two women questioning why it is so, (Ed.as
elsewhere) and why French people in this instant are amenable to others claiming French
turf.  Though there's 7 million Arabs representing 10% of the population, and by 2060
estimated 50%. There was suggested by a young man, "the young guns" to whom he undoubtedly
assumes identity, won't wait that long before asserting rights to possess and that's not by
recourse to the franchise.

Whilst inconvenienced by the flu and whilst idle, time was given over to listening to the
radio.  It was the weekend of round nine of the NRL competition, by the end of the round
noticed a disparity between contestants, confirmed by those wireless commentators.
Thoughts of the two women bemoaning imposed(sic) intransigence, came to mind.  Here were two
subjects people of a re-constituted Europe, consequence of the aftermath of WW11, with what
seems to be the loss of national pride inherent and political centralisation consequent.
Unlike the NRL, unable to attract "bums to seats", whereas Europe having a attraction to
hoards from the Eastern and Northern Mediterranean.  So both it seems both could learn from
the mistakes of the other: The NRL with its loosely aligned autonomous clubs, a
coordinating independent body whose authority a grant of the clubs.  The European economic
and political union the design of political centralists to make participating countries
stronger to withhold invasion?!?!  So it appears its the limits imposed on authority that
was handed up in the case of the NRL, not the converse as the designers of new European
have skilfully(sic) brought to fulfillment.  You would think to overcoming "disparity" and
draw more people to the NRL code, stronger governance from above.  Whereas for the people
of Europe a return to nation-hood, individual rights reclaimed and the unwelcomed resisted.
Earlier mentioned a Danish author and sociologist who (ASC) members were left metaphorically
questioning, where did the "communists" and "socialists" their descendants go after giving
up neighbourhoods to the latter day Arab settlers?!?!

Don offered more of the same (a continuation of the foregoing), more doco's for members
consumption, they unanimously said No!  The reason they rejected "more of the same" perhaps
what people do when they are made impotent, dependent on the armed services of government,
who in turn are submissive to there masters, themselves and respective family ties as a
priority to protect.  So for the general population of Australian people, whom ASC club
members identify and don't fall into the "protect" category, the question: Twenty years
after the gun buy back, now and in the future are the Australian people truly SAFER(?)

Present 2.      
             
A report comparing housing policies of Australia to the UK.  Australia is first introduced
with statistics, two graphs the first sighted showing house costs have risen
dis-proportionally to wages, CPI inflation etc; the second exposing the state of the economy
according to industry grouping, exponentially curving upwards and outwards from the
vertical axis. Mortgage and financial services here in Australia taking a dollar lead above
all other GDP producing asset groups.  Since the GFC bank loans and financing have dropped
off, a labor government of the day (6 years) on the treasury benches, did what a professor
panelist stated: pumped debt raised money into the community to counteract bank
participation withdrawal.  However, financial institutions during (and probably
subsequently) had no hesitation in lending money on inflated property values, enabling
borrowers to raise more negative gearing advances.

In the UK the position was/is different to here (Australia).  Government had more latitude
and subsidizes habitable living acquisitions, raised there participation from 20% to 40% of
assessed value.  It seemed that following, foreign money found its way into England and
maybe home countries; money assumed from European communities and Mediterranean countries,
moved in advance of potential "bail outs".  Mentioned Chinese investment to the UK has
slacked due to a change in China's leadership.
