Must be a niche market we have a lot of Red cedar and Silky oak ,even cut heads up and stacked them on planets for wood workers to turn up bowls and such and can't seem to give it away? , I burned off cuts they would have only gone in the mill fire as no one wanted them for anything..Cheers

You may have to cast your net a bit wider with some free advertising websites, I think red cedar is one of the most beautiful timbers going.

I don't have any problems with any Muslims, the people or the religion.....but when I see total bull manure doing the rounds that passes gross generalisation off as fact it makes you wonder what the purpose of it was in the first place.....

I wonder why we are so concerned with Muslims when on our own home front we let the Catholic Church cover up child molestation and abuse on such a massive scale for so many years, yet they continue to operate....if they were a bikie club or union they would have been shut down, thrown out of this country and sent back to the Vatican where they belong.

Was in Mabul, an island east of Borneo Malaysia a couple of years ago...10,000 odd Filipino refugees living on the beach of a tiny island...if they go home they risk being killed, certainly will be persecuted....and that's just the tip of the iceberg of our regional problems....categorically not financial refugees. They're still stuck there. Malaysia let's them stay there because at least they're safe....but it's pretty sad to see to say the least.

Hmmmm, could there be potential to have a firewood business from these 1000 Ha of Forestry lease land, in addition to hunting/fishing/camping? Too far from any firewood market and transport costs would kill it?

I wonder if they have any provisions for such, or leaseholder buildings, etc. With 30 years left on the lease, that's about $2k a year lease (plus interest if financing the purchase).

Do these sorts of leases have more fishhooks than a wharf on Sundays?

just got back from a few days kicking around in the bush up near Mallacoota,and spent a bit of time at an old mates camp,where he's slabbing up macrocarpa and himalayan cedar,using a home made chainsaw mill and a monster stihl 090.
He does all his sharpening using a Stihl FG2 bench mount filing guide.
I had a go on it and decided i had to get one, really good tool,but our stihl dealer cant find em on the system anymore.
Anyone got one they would be prepared to sell?
cheers,Skip

If you're going to talk about the Catholic Church and child molestation then I gather organised marriages of 12 year old girls, sometimes younger, is somehow different? The only difference is that what has happened in the Catholic Church is being addressed and those found guilty are being taken to task. In countries such as Afghanistan, Somalia etc it's publicly accepted.
Don't even get me started on female circumcision in many of the Islamic parts of Africa, performed on you guessed it, underage girls.

How far away from gaining jurisdiction is Sharia law in Great Britain? I mean, beyond the myriad Sharia councils acting, quite legally, in an arbitration capacity?

Here's but one example of where the margin creep between arbitration/mediation and binding 'judgements' starts to conflict, quite seriously, with the established legal principles that underpin the societies of host nations. This is the report from a British House of Lords member, titled "A Parallel World: Confronting the Abuse of Many Muslim Women in Britain Today":
http://www.bowgroup.org/policy/bow-...-world-confronting-abuse-muslim-women-britain

When people, even if clumsy and not without an ounce of ignorance or agendas of their own, are shouted down as intolerant, labelled racist, bigoted, etc, for openly calling into question the actions of those purporting to be acting under a particular belief system, as if these systems are beyond questioning and the risks to our way of life are not worth addressing, then I will continue to call that as I see it. That is to say I call it a limp-wristed, excessively liberal Trojan horse that is passively engaging (by not actively discouraging) in the destruction of societal values in host nations disrespecting the many generations therein who fought hard and/or sacrificed their own lives to uphold such values.

Do I lament blind bigotry? Yes. Do I believe all people of any belief system uncommon in host societies are evil-doers? Of course not. Do I believe we have not done enough to shield our societies from the harmful aspects of other belief systems, or address the failings of our own systems? Absolutely.

Comparing the crimes of one religious mob to those of another is daft. They are just as wrong as each other and shouldn't be tolerated.

Some are wrongerer than others. That Spaghetti Monster one seemed pretty harmless.

If they start picketing funerals, outlawing education of women, enforcing marriage/circumcision/dress codes, covering up abusive crimes,etc I'll toss them in the same pot as the rest of them.

No. I'll just wear one.

We had over 50,000 Kiwis claiming to be of the Jedi religious faith in the 2001 Census here.

My religion is Husqvarna interbred with a bit of Dolmar. Just to prove that I can cross faiths I even ran a few Stihls on the weekend.
I also whipped out the Husqvarna "Grand Dragon" 3120 with a 36" hard nose and .404" chain. That scared me.
