So I was right to question things and not get to excited about bro coming to live with me. She has decided she isn't going to sign anything yet, and instead has just given me some written "temporary agreement" thing which obviously can't be lodged with the court. The way it's written it seems to me that he's only going to be living with me while she's over seas, then she's going to take him back.

I asked her about it, and she said she doesn't want to lodge anything until "around December" when she decides if "Ambrose wants to still live with me" and "if he's settled and everything is going well". It seems relatively fair enough on the surface, except interim orders could allow her to do the same thing by placing a clause in about assessing the situation. It doesn't help that in December is when she'll be thinking of moving back to Oz permanently, so it leaves me wondering.

Even more so because she is refusing to give him any of his things to bring with him. Basically he's coming to me with the clothes on his back and that's it. I have to go out and furnish him with all new clothes, toys, everything and do it all over night. Given this agreement she's written up only gives her over night visits with him, I can't see it being anything other then a position where she plans to take him back when she gets back from over seas.

I do however hope after all those months living with me, that even if she did try to forcibly take him back, and he wanted to still live with me, that a court would see that he was settled and stable living with me, and that he had resided with me long enough to warrant new orders made to the effect of me getting residency.

But more over I hope and pray that Chelsea wouldn't put us in that position to begin with, that she truly is prepared to sign new orders saying he lives with me on a permanent basis. Do me a favour and cross your fingers for me and bro will you?

I have the best of news! Chelsea emailed me yesterday asking me to call her which I did and we discussed having new orders drawn up today in which Ambrose would live full time with me, and she would see him every 6 weeks. I'm shocked, stunned and excited. Yet strangely not sure whether I should believe it yet. You know the old saying "if it's sounds to good to be true?" well it's freaking the hell outta me. But as things stand I should be picking Ambrose up this week. I have a lot to sort out now, like a school, clothes, everything. And only a couple of days to do it all in, which I'm so not complaining about.

So here is to Chelsea, for finally allowing Ambrose to live with me as he has wanted to since the word go. I will do everything I can to work with you Chelsea to make sure Ambrose is a happy, well adjusted child and that you don't lose out. Thank-you so much.

Haha, I guess I have to stock up on the rest of the selby books for bedtime stories. lol.

Once more the bugle plays with sounding respect and celebration of those who fought and those who died in the defense of Australia and of New Zealand. ANZAC Day is a proud day for Australia, a day to raise a glass and salute those who have given us the ability to chose where our country goes. To all the ANZACs out there, I salute you and your bravery you are an inspiration to us all.

I know all these blog entries seem weird for someone who has just had his son ripped away from him, but they're all I can do to keep from going out of my mind. Factually there is nothing I can do until Monday when Brisbane opens for business once more, so for now all I can do is try and keep myself busy so I can stay strong for my son.

The shock has worn off now, I know what I have to do and I am focused on achieving my goals. Monday will prove the first step, so I have to get from here to there.

April 24th edition of MX reports that Taliban fighters are on their way to Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan. The paper quoted US secretary of state Hilary Clinton as saying "I think the Pakistani government is basically abdicating to the Taliban and the extremists" after the Pakistani government handed over control of the Swat Valley to the Taliban fighters.

Ordinarily this would just be a little piece of junk news that didn't mean much of a lot for the rest of the world, except for one simple fact. Pakistan has nuclear capabilities, not only from nuclear power and research programs, but nuclear bombs and missiles as well. If an extremist group such as the Taliban are allowed to gain control of such capabilities then the game changes completely. Dirty bombs (crudely put together, highly portable nuclear weapons) would surely be the suicide bombers new weapon of choice. But why even bother with suicide bombers when you can simply launch a nuclear missile from across the other side of the world.

When you take into account the allied defense shield, which would automatically track, counter attack (rather in effectively) and retaliate against such an attack nuclear war seems a very real possibility if the Taliban are able to get hold of such capabilities. Normally this whole terrorist thing is of no interest to me, I see it as something that is made more then it is. But this, this potentially a real threat, one which threatens all live on earth not just humanity.
