Australian Coin History

i have heard lara bingle is held in higher regard than jesus christ and god in australian culture, is this true? if so why does bingle have so much credibilty in aussie culture and held in higher regard than god or jesus?

apparently some aussies even worship god like figures like lara ingle, same with paris hilton in america! why are they such immortal icons and the most important and powerful people in their respective nations?

will lara bingle's picture be in the coins of the australian currency? i think its a good idea to have bingle's face on the $1 coin in australia! icons need to be celebrated in my poinion.

thoughts?
rehman of multan - bingle is a very influential figure in australian culture and even has influence over aussie politics! she is the wealthiest australian and also the most famous and thus she has god like status in australia!
u should do some research!
actually paris hilton is the american equvilant of lara bingle!

Brett lee rocks.

Australia has decimal coins that are now considered rare. The 2000 one dollar / ten cents mule and Incused 50c are coins that are featured. See ...

I ask because of these quotes from prominent feminists:


"Most mother-women give up whatever ghost of a unique and human self they may have when they 'marry' and raise children." -- Phyllis Chesler, Women and Madness, p.294

"Since marriage constitutes slavery for women, it is clear that the Women's Movement must concentrate on attacking this institution. Freedom for women cannot be won without the abolition of marriage." -- Sheila Cronan


"The institution of marriage is the chief vehicle for the perpetuation of the oppression of women; it is through the role of wife that the subjugation of women is maintained. In a very real way the role of wife has been the genesis of women's rebellion throughout history." -- Marlene Dixon, "Why Women's Liberation? Racism and Male Supremacy"

.
"How will the family unit be destroyed? ... the demand alone will throw the whole ideology of the family into question, so that women can begin establishing a community of work with each other and we can fight collectively. Women will feel freer to leave their husbands and become economically independent, either through a job or welfare." -- From Female Liberation by Roxanne Dunbar

"A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle." -- Irina Dunn, 1970
.
Intersting note: this famous quote comes from Irina Dunn, an Australian journalist who coined it in 1970. But the most interesting thing is, Ms Dunn stole this quote from a philosopher who said, "Man needs God like a fish needs a bicycle." Irina Dunn needed a man to come up with the only phrase that gave her fame. How empowering!

.
"Marriage as an institution developed from rape as a practice. Rape, originally defined as abduction, became marriage by capture. Marriage meant the taking was to extend in time, to be not only use of but possession of, or ownership." -- Andrea Dworki

Note: Andrea Dworkin was secretly married to a man for many years.

She was against marriage.... Against your marriage, not hers.



"The institution [of marriage] consistently proves itself unsatisfactory--even rotten.... The family is...directly connected to--is even the cause of--the ills of the larger society." -- Shulamith Firestone, The Dialectic of Sex: The Case for Feminist Revolution (New York: Morrow, 1970), p. 254.
"I was, in reality, bred by my parents as my father's concubine... What we take for granted as the stability of family life may well depend on the sexual slavery of our children. What's more, this is a cynical arrangement our institutions have colluded to conceal." -- Sylvia Fraser; Journalist

"All patriarchists exalt the home and family as sacred, demanding it remain inviolate from prying eyes. Men want privacy for their violations of women... All women learn in childhood that women as a sex are men's prey." -- Marilyn French
"In order to raise children with equality, we must take them away from families and communally raise them" -- Dr. Mary Jo Bane, feminist and assistant professor of education at Welleslry College and associate director of the school's Center for Research on Woman
"No woman should be authorized to stay at home and raise her children. Society should be totally different. Women should not have that choice, precisely because if there is such a choice, too many women will make that one." -- Interview with Simone de Beauvoir, "Sex, Society, and the Female Dilemma," Saturday Review, June 14, 1975, p.18
"The proportion of men must be reduced to and maintained at approximately 10% of the human race." -- Sally Miller Gearhart
"The nuclear family must be destroyed, and people must find better ways of living together. ... Whatever its ultimate meaning, the break-up of families now is an objectively revolutionary process. ... "Families have supported oppression by separating people into small, isolated units, unable to join together to fight for common interests." -- Linda Gordon,
"Being a housewife is an illegitimate profession... The choice to serve and be protected and plan towards being a family-maker is a choice that shouldn't be. The heart of radical feminism is to change that" -- Vivian Gornick, feminist author, University of Illinois, "The Daily Illini," April 25, 1981
"If women are to effect a significant amelioration in their condition it seems obvious that they must refuse to marry." -- Germaine Greer
"The nuclear family is a cornerstone of woman's oppression: it enforces women's dependence on men, it enforces heterosexuality and it imposes the prevailing masculine and feminine character structures on the next generation." -- Alison Jaggar
"The care of children ..is infinitely better left to the best trained practitioners of both sexes who have chosen it as a vocation...[This] would further undermine family structure while contributing to the freedom of women." -- Kate Millet, Sexual Politics, 178-179
"We can't destroy the inequities between men and women until we destroy marriage." -- Robin Morgan, editor of Ms. Magazine. That's as mainstream as you can get.
"The simple fact is that every woman must be willing to be identified as a lesbian to be fully feminist." -- (National NOW Times, Jan. 1988)

Scarlett, misogyny isn't a political and social movement.
"The most merciful thing a large family can do to one of its infant members is to kill it." -- Margaret Sanger
"I do want to be able to explain to a 9-year-old boy in terms he will understand why I think it's OK for girls to wear shirts that revel in their superiority over boys." -- Treena Shapiro

During the 1960's through the 1970's many groups took their ideals and went way to far with them. Many African Americans went from wanting equality with the white community to wanting their own separate nation within the United States. Anti-war demonstrators belittled returning Viet Nam vets. In other words, things that were originally meant for good got out of hand. Feminism was no different. That being said, I personally do not consider myself to be a feminist, because I don't agree with many of their premises.

Price: $60.00

A rematch of their epic 5-setter just a few years ago.

" When is an epic contest not an epic contest? Answer: When the two protagonists are resolute in downplaying the significance of their burgeoning rivalry.
Never mind that tonight's fourth round meeting between Lleyton Hewitt and Marcos Baghdatis has been hotly anticipated by the media since the draw was announced just over a week ago. Never mind that tennis fans the world over are holding their collective breath to see how this next chapter in the pair's colourful match history unfolds.

If you believe Hewitt and Baghdatis, tonight's clash holds no more import than a knock-about at their local tennis club. Albeit, that tennis club happens to be Melbourne Park and its membership tonight will consist of 15,000 screaming, face-painted, banner-waving fans. "We've only played three times," laughs Hewitt, "It's not quite like Nadal (and) Federer just yet.' "

"There's much riding on the outcome of tonight's match. A win for Baghdatis will prove another vital step both in his comeback, and in living up to the talent that took him to the world No.1 junior ranking in 2003. A win for Hewitt will go a long way to proving that for the Aussie, who's had his own share of injury challenges in recent years, retirement genuinely isn't something he's "thinking about right at the moment". No wonder the two men are trying so valiantly to manage the expectations riding on tonight's clash."

Former World No. 1 John Newcombe, the 1973 and 1975 Australian Open champion, is tipping another cliff-hanger when two former finalists, Lleyton Hewitt and Marcos Baghdatis, meet on Saturday.

"Baghdatis and Hewitt are going to have a knock-down, drag-out match. Toss a coin. They both want it really badly," said Newcombe. “I just hope for Lleyton he doesn't pull back like he did in [at the Medibank International] Sydney [last week] against Baghdatis when he had a set and a break. Lleyton's got the game to win. He's got to back himself throughout the match."
Lol obviously im rooting for Baghdatis

Im glad you want Baghdatis to win, soo do I. he deserves to win. He has improved a lot in the past few years and now he is stronger than he has ever been. Hopefully it wont be like the 2008 match that finished at 4:30 am. Baghdatis will give it his all and he will put up a good fight.
I can't wait to watch the match tonight!!!!

GO BAGHDATIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
