It already costs $27k to outfit an Aussie soldier.

Powered exoskeletons have been on the drawing board for decades, weight will be the main issue.

I do not believe the video liked by TP was an Australian. I'm sure you enlighten yourself on a regular basis. You do not require my assistance.  |

Bit slow on the uptake there, Member. Tannin was responding to this question you posed in the previous post:
| Member 7167 wrote: | | Could someone please enlighten me and tell me when a group of Australian Christians stoned a child to death? |
Of course you had to sneak the word "Australian" in there because Christians around the globe have been responsible for all sorts of atrocities over the past 2000 years. So, Christianity is let off the hook because you've defined it narrowly, but we all get to give Islam a good kicking again because of something that happened out in the back woods of Pakistan. Not exactly an even playing field there.

Having read the article I'd really want to know more detail before joining the lynch mob but I do think it's very very poor form.

| I presume that special schools may need to do basic self care tasks for their students, particularly those with severe disabilities. It is just really just a question on how far a care-giver can go. |

^ that's probably true but surely there are ways to do it whilst retaining the dignity of the person - an audience of any seems to me to be inappropriate and made me say WTF.

Yeah I reckon that something mum should teach, or at least have a say in beforehand, and the audience thing, no way

Totally %#$&ed up, but symbolic of a lot of things wrong with our society. The mother is right to be furious.
