Guest guest Posted December 13, 2000 Report Share Posted December 13, 2000 Thanks Pam. Your Aussie /American translator didn't get it quite right this time!! ) Rorting that has been going on here , well from the last elections, is a bit different. Pollies who were a bit short of votes in their hope to be elected, moved people around. Especially family members and friends, so they could vote twice from two addresses. It is now coming to light. Had quite a few resign over it now. Tell that Bill guy to re-read his translation book ) LOL Love Anne The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen nor touched but are felt in the heart.

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2000 Report Share Posted December 13, 2000 Anne, According to my Strine dictionary: Rort (verb or noun) Cheating, fiddling, defrauding (expenses, the system, etc.). Usually used of politicians Sounds like politics here as well ) Florida had hundreds of dead people voting in the previous election, had two years to fix things and still fouled it up. Hopefully we will have a national standard for elections by the next one. I see you are up to Sunday's emails ) Take care, Bill and Charlotte Pledger wrote: > Thanks Pam.
