Have the Greens finally rid themselves of the Kiwifruit faction with the Rhiannon-Reds now calling the shots?

Thats why the greens are called 'watermellons' - green on the outside , red on the inside. After the collapse of socialism/communism they needed a home and the greens were the only viable home for them. There are some very funny ideas within the greens.

Nicola Roxon isnt her name either I think I also heard..is some kind of figment of the silly bitches imagination.. Her Grand-father anglicised the family name in 1937 from the Jewish Ropschitz to Roxon, so when she was born two generations later in 1967, she was given the name Nicola Louise Roxon. But you're telling the story, El Flogg Stupido, please tell us what her real name is. We're all ears! |

For immigrants to Australia to change their names on arrival is nothing new. Henry Lawson's dad was an illegal immigrant who jumped ship in Melbourne during the gold rushes. He (Lawson père) ended up as a cop in the Victorian colonial constabulary. So much for demonising "illegals" back then. Apparently Lawson's old man was Norwegian and his name had been Nils Larsen until he changed it to Peter Lawson.
Before we get too rhapsodic about the sturdy pioneering spirit and sense of enterprise regarding this guy, I understand that he and the woman he married, Henry Lawson's mum, didn't get on too well. Apparently the lady had a bit of a mind of her own and left him because he slapped her around a bit. Their son, Henry, ended up with a drinking problem and died in the gutter. Wrote some bloody good poetry though. So good in fact that the powers-that-be decided he was iconic enough of a certain "Australian-ness" for his dial to be included on the inaugural $10 note.
