I am not a fan of facebook and only have a passing interest....but can I promote to you all something that is being run by the conservative radio stations and is on facebook......its called "light the way home" and involves putting on your verandah light each night to show our Afghanistan casualties the way home........simple but it just seems right........

you can find it here...

I cannot believe our govt can waste our money ,give our money away, give the pollies free flights ,cabs etc but are attempting to take away an allowance that has been available since the 70s of a return flight home to visit families, is now being taken away from our single ADF serving members, These men and women make many sacrifices for their country and on top of what they have to contribute financially to exist in the ADF, they are now faced with this impost by Gillard and Swan
We have a young fellow who is a serving member who will be affected by the govt decision so maybe my view is clouded.
Sorry to hijack the above post but though it was also mentioning.
PS our light is always on but i do tell the kids to turn it off when they get in late
