I think asassination could be very useful, but it has to be institutionalised. It also could be a good money earner.

For instance, licences could be issued to hunt politicians. Say $5000.00 for a licence to hunt Federal Pollies. Canberra could be declared a Game-reserve, and everywhere else open territory. There would be a limit bag of two. I would envisage a two month hunting season, from the 1st of March to the 30th of April inclusive.

One could then have them stuffed and mounted. Which is exactly what they now do to us. A similar scheme at reduced prices, could be introduced for State and Local Government pollies. This would give everyone a fair go.

Think of what it would save in Parliamentary pensions.

Put me down for licence No.1.

Regards......Ralph.
