It’s all very well for Malcolm Fraser to lecture 21st century governments on boat people and ‘human rights’ as he does not have to govern an electorate pissed off and cynical at the consequences of those policies a generation later. In the 1970s, it was all so very new.

But the realities of Keating’s manipulation of Fraser’s “high-minded” immigration/refugee policy do not afford leaders like Howard/Rudd the same space for moral chest-beating.

I’ve thought for a while that rog’s switch might have been triggered by a switch in another kind of preference. I’ve known conservative gays, but the core gay community tends to be very left wing. It would be difficult to maintain right wing values in that atmosphere.

A “tub” of wankers? That’s a revealing choice of classifier, rog. Which website did you just click over from again?

LOL! I love the sign at the anti-terrorist demonstration in Japan. “GET OUT OF THE EARTH!”

Hear hear!

Wonderful to see the Japanese actually captured a real live terrorist. Let’s now hope the legal system there deals with him very severely.

Here’s an idea out of left field: leave the women on shore – as was customary for centuries for obvious reasons.

a truly shocking idea. LOl

Actually it’s not entirely true that they didn’t have women on board in the old days. They did, but not for the reasons they do today.

“An inquiry has heard that a predatory culture existed on the Navy ship HMAS Success, with junior female sailors being bullied or coerced into having sex.”
