Police chief wants 'Star Trek' phasers
From AFP
February 16, 2004
A BRITISH police chief has revealed the type of weapon he would most like to see officers carry in the future, it was reported Saturday - a disabling "phaser gun" of the sort used in television show Star Trek.

The gun - which Deputy Chief Constable Ian Arundale admitted might not be developed for many years - would be able to turn "someone's brain off", he was quoted as saying by The Guardian.

a .357magnum, will turn your brain off, as well, with no come backs..............

Redfern Local Area Commander Superintendent Dennis Smith said while officers hoped to identify a large number of people involved in Sunday night's riot, they also wanted to charge others who had urged on the rioters.

Prophetic words from 1987! I know how you like the 'Good Oil' Megs.

Warakurna Lyrics
Midnight Oil
Diesel & Dust

There is enough for everyone
In REDFERN as there is in Alice
This is not the Buckingham Palace
This the crown land
This is the brown land
This is not our land

Some folks live in water tanks
Some folks live in red brick flats

There is enough, the law is carved in granite
It's been shaped by wind and rain
White law could be wrong
Black law could be strong

Warakurna, cars will roll
Don't drink by the water hole
Court fines on the shopfront wall
Beat the grog and save your soul

Some people laugh, some never learn
This land must change or land must burn
Some people sleep, some people yearn
This land must change or land must burn

Diesel and dust is what we breathe
This land don't change and we don't leave
Some people live, some never die
This land don't change this land must lie
Some people leave, always return
This land must change or land must burn

Warakurna, camels roam
Fires are warm and dogs are cold
Not since Lassiter was here
Black man's got a lot to fear

Some people laugh, some never learn
This land must change or land must burn
Some people leave, always return
This land must change or land must burn

I like Latham's values. I think that however little experience he has he could make a good PM. But then politics is all about making promises and then realising you can't pay for them.
