australian pick
They should pick up the tab, not the Australian taxpayer.
consistent democrats economic government lower mainstream reform republican smaller states taxes united
On economic policy, my support of smaller government, lower taxes and economic reform is consistent with the mainstream of the Republican Party in the United States and with many Democrats as well.

Australia will always be closer to the U.S. than she is to China because our values and political traditions are much closer.

We live in unusual circumstances. In other circumstances I would never have sought these additional powers. But we do live in very dangerous and different and threatening circumstances.

In such a high standard of competition to win the gold medal must give you a tremendous sense of accomplishment.

I'm direct, I'm unpretentious and I'm pretty dogged, and I hope I've got a capacity to laugh at myself and not take myself too seriously.

wrestling reality self
The believer's cross is no longer any and every kind of suffering, sickness, or tension, the bearing of which is demanded. The believer's cross must be, like his Lord's, the price of his social nonconformity. It is not, like sickness or catastrophe, an inexplicable, unpredictable suffering; it is the end of the path freely chosen after counting the cost. It is not, like Luther's or Thomas Muntzer's or Zinzendorf's or Kierkegaard's cross, an inward wrestling of the sensitive soul with self and sin; it is the social reality of representing in an unwilling world the Order to come.
country stupid drug
It's beyond belief that any Australian could be so stupid as to carry drugs into any country in Asia.
