ROYAL COMMISSION or bust into AWU scandal and Prime Minister Julia Gillard, it goes to the highest office in the country with too many involved - from Gillard, Shorten, Ludwig, Roxon and others and of course McClelland too. The questions out there are so many, the allegations everywhere that not having a Royal Commission is bull dust and a different set of rules for the privileged and the elite.

Meat is very good brain food. Most of the meat we eat comes from herbivores, herbivores are animals that eat plant material. Its important that we always protect herbivores so that they are not exploited too much by meat eaters, the main threat to these herbivores is humans. Their are alot of animals that are carnivores as well & we should control their populations to a certain extent without them become endangered or close to extinction.
