This week David Irving was imprisoned in Austria for 3 years for ‘holocaust denial’.
If I stated that men never walked on the moon, would they lock me up for ‘moon walking denial’?
If I stated that the earth was in fact flat, would they lock me up for ‘globe denial’?
If I stated that inside every kiwi was an aussie trying to get out, would they lock me up for ‘kiwi denial’?
If I stated that World War II never happened, would they lock me up for ‘WWII denial’?

Updated: I found this timeline of events regarding the Muslim cartoon outrage. As more events occur, I’ll add them to this timeline (latest events will be at the top of the list). It’ll be interesting to see how things turn out as time goes by.

Here I am, sitting in Wellington airport again, but this time on the way to Christchurch for work purposes, instead of to or from Australia for enjoyment purposes. But it’s ok, as I love travelling regardless of whether it’s for work or for pleasure. I love sitting in the airport, watching the people go by. I love sitting down and relaxing, knowing that I’m ‘working’ and that a big part of it is travelling.

Today we were leaving Sydney. First, this is the car (a Ford Falcon, good ol’ Aussie car) that we hired, which did so well getting us around. It was ok to drive, but I actually think the Mitsubishi we hired in Dec/Jan was much better.
On the plane, about to leave Sydney…
Anyone know what kind of USAF plane this is?

Halley and Stephen, the lucky couple who got married today (along with Deidre).
Deidre and I, at the reception.

The reason we came to Sydney was for a wedding between Halley and Stephen. (Halley is one of Deidre’s cousins.)
We drove to Wollongong to pick up Deidre’s mum and take her to the church with us. Almost an hour to Wollongong, and then almost an hour back to the church. And then we were almost late when we thought it was on a particular road, only to discover that we were looking on the wrong road!
