My suggestion would be a working holiday visa, if you can get one. A working holiday visa
lasts a year, and is available to people under (about) 26.

They are (I think) available only to certain nationalities. These include British citizens,
and (I think) Dutch citizens.

You also need some money to show that you could support yourself for some/much of your stay.

If you fit the requirements the visas are pretty easy to get. Contact an Australian embassy
for more information.

Migration visas, are harder to get.

From what I have read about the cane toads, they were not introduced by
Australian scientists. They were introduced into Australia by an
organization of sugar-cane farmers. In fact, the scientists that were consulted
advised against bringing the cane toad to Australia.

Yeah, if you want to use your language skills to help open up trade links with
the dreaded Ruskies then go to some other country.  Obviously no one in
Australia is interested in doing this.  Mike must be an expert on these

Well, the police and newspapers here are being remarkably coy with the
facts.

Excerpt from the Evening Post:

"Christchurch CIB Head Detective Superintendent Neville Stokes said
police became aware on January 3rd of "disquieting factors" about Prof
Lloyd's condition.

"He had been admitted to hospital on December 17, suffering from
mobility and vision problems. He lapsed into a coma the following day.
His nervous system had been damaged.

"Mr Stokes said he could not elaborate on the factors which prompted
the initial investigation. However, it had now led to a fuller
inquiry.

"He said a range of possible causes for Prof Lloyd's condition were
being considered. Poison was not excluded."

A few other bits:

"The investigation is centered on people who have access to a research
laboratory at the Christchurch Scool of Medicine."

I also seem to recall some other article saying that Prof Lloyd
thought he had been poisoned before becoming comatose.

You haven't been reading the posts have you?  Someone with a carving knife
and a moments lapse of reason is unlikely to be able to gun down 20 people
in the street before either a) realising that they didn't really want to kill 
someone or b) being stopped.  The violence will still be there guns or no 
guns.  The consequences of that violence can be shown to involve less 
fatalities.

You haven't been watching the news either.  

Here is a clue - take a good look at those good socialist countries which 
used to be called the USSR. Pretty violent over there isn't it.  

While capitalism is not my  dogma of choice surely those who would call
for a socialist revolution have learned something from the events of the 
last 5 years.

Oh, so Russia had no crime and Japan has heaps right?  In fact the opposite
existed.  The variables that contribute to a society's violent nature are
far too wide and varied to single down to one thing.

I'm not anti-socialist at all,  but I am a realist.  Sure Stalin screwed up
Lenin's ideal,  but the minute the beaurocrats in Russia, Cuba and China
gave themselves big paypackets and extras they were living a contradiction.

It's human nature,  not capitalist (or any other invented concept).  I mean,
the biggest wars have been for territorial and/or religous reasons,  many
such wars occuring before capitalism existed!

Even Marx criticised Engels for marrying 'a commoner' - some equality huh?

gee, now there's an intelligent and well thought out response. :-)

But about the original post, socialism does work either - by 
making "all equal" it removes any incentive for action. We need
a midway solution - not unfettered capitalism, with it's attendant
monopolies an exploitation, and not aboulute socialism - with 
its denial of individual responsibility and lack of material reward.

Perhaps a sort of regulated capitalism?

Umm, isn't that more or less what we got?
