What do you mean "our list". That is a - dare I say it, imperialist -

All this talk about the UN being an imperialist organisation seems to
ignore much of the history of how the UN was set up - largely by the
winners of World War Two, who were determined, especially Roosevelt, to
make sure that imperialism, would vanish from the world. To this end the US

Recently I was at a conference on Women and Education in Melbourne, which
was addressed by a woman representative from Fretlin. The speaker told us
how grateful the East Timorese people were for the support of the

There is agreement between us regarding whether Australia is an
imperialist nation (it is), but why do you consider NZ to be a "bloated

Good questio
A pretty useless document, Bob. Yeah, Australia is a minor imperialist
nation state. Yeah, we're a paternalistic bunch, with some racism in our
