    Should WA secede from the Commonwealth?

    Morgs, dont waste your time trying to explain logic to this guy. I think most educated people can accept that IF Western Australia is able to cede from the Commonwealth and become a separate nation state, then we would be entitled to the same maritime jurisdiction as anyother nation state at...

    Should WA secede from the Commonwealth?

    I would think so. In the 1980's the Commonwealth and the UK Parliament passed the mirror Australia Acts which: 1. removed the legal ties between Australia and the UK; and 2. removed the UK Parliament's power to legislate in relation to individual Australian States. My understanding is that...

    Should WA secede from the Commonwealth?

    Re: Should WA succeed from the Commonwealth? Cheers mate. I will look into this, appreciate the heads up. The thing is the federation that was created by the Framers of our constitution in 1901 is vastly different from the Commonwealth dominated federation that exists today. A State...

    Should WA secede from the Commonwealth?

    Re: Should WA succeed from the Commonwealth? I think that point is very much debated by academics these days. It hasnt been put to a vote since the passing of the Australia Acts in the 1980's. Would pose an interesting constitutional law question: Does a state have the right to secede...

    Should WA secede from the Commonwealth?

    Re: Should WA succeed from the Commonwealth? If it went to a vote today MM, what do you think the outcome would be? I think a vote to secede would pass very easily.

    Should WA secede from the Commonwealth?

    This is what many Western Australians and even some State Politicians are beginning to whisper to each other. Students of history will know that WA has already voted in favour of secession in the 1930's where 68% of the population voted in favour of a split. The pro-secession movement...

    2010 United Kingdom General Election - 6 May

    Interesting that no one on this board is discussing the BNP. I think they will do surprisingly well at the upcoming election. Gordon Brown's "bigot-gate" gaffe is getting a huge amount of publicity in the UK. This certainly wont hurt the BNP's cause when it comes to attracting "old school...

    Tito Ortiz is a @#$%&% &%$#

    Jameson chose to be in a relationship with a proffesional fighter, born into a drug addicted family, with previous form for battery and assault, who goes by the name "the Huttington Beach Bad Boy". Domestic violence is inexcusable, but having said that Jameson should have known what she was...

    DeBoer - D-D-D-Delist

    Exactly, Mems is one of the most insightful posters on this board - and he actually took the time to organise screen caps. I disagree with his comments re Deboer but Deboer current form certainly deserves discussion. His performance in the first quarter against Richmond was unacceptable.

    DeBoer - D-D-D-Delist

    Why dont you all STFU. Mems raises a valid query about Deboer and his current form. If you guys continue to derail the thread I will return fire in your threads on the board.

    DeBoer - D-D-D-Delist

    What the **** is all this lunch shite? Not funny at all. Mems, I respectfully disagree with your assessment of Deboer. I agree that he has some flaws in his game (kicking on goal and hitting targets by foot being the main complaint) but I think his defensive preassure and work of the ball are...

    Chris Mayne - Inefficient running technique

    I agree - but the question is whether his running style is causing him to fatigue quicker than usual and more importantly exposing him to injury. Could his ankle injury last year have in some way been related to this?

    Chris Mayne - Inefficient running technique

    Your witch hunt slur is highly insulting. I am a huge fan of Mayne. But blind freddy can see that there is something strange about his running style. Since when has identifying areas for improvement in a player amounted to a witch hunt.

    Chris Mayne - Inefficient running technique

    Football Clubs also employ "Coaches" who are experts when it comes to tactics - but that doesnt mean we dont look critically at what they are doing. I guess the questions are: (1) Is there a problem with Mayne's running technique? (2) Have FFC tried to correct his running technique? I...

    Chris Mayne - Inefficient running technique

    Is it me, or is there a major flaw in his running technique? I have seen it on tv a few times, but this is the first time I have really noticed it up close at a live match. Mayne seems to favour one side of his body with a "swagger" when he runs. The action is even more exagerated when Mayne...
