Liberty Quote
The interest of the government is to tax heavily: that of the community is, to be as little taxed as the necessary expenses of good government permit.

Re Maxine McKew. Thinking laterally, MM is not necessarily 44, but could well be 4 + 4 = 8, a very auspicious number indeed. Maybe the Bennelong voters realized later that 44 should apply, so they dumped her at the next election.
That makes sense.
Let’s break this down:
John Alexander = 1685 + 135615459 = 20 + 39 = 59 =5+9 =14 = 5. Inauspicious.
Kristina Keneally = 29912951 + 25551337 = 38 + 31 = 69 [famous number] =6+9 = 15 = 1+5 =6.
Slightly more auspicious.
Conclusion:
Kristina has norks.
Alexander was a tennis player [sometime last century].
Don’t snivel to me.
All I asked is that you break up your stream of consciousness type shit into something that real human ‘beens’ can read.
Fuck off.
Confucious say “Eddie’s gurl should not speak with mouthful”.
Done zero research, but you get the feeling with these “Flash Mobs” that paperwork and permission has been signed and obtained before taking place? Don’t know for sure.
I wonder what would happen, here in Australia, if the crew of a Symphony Orchestra decided to descend on any particular place of interest and interrupt the joint without notice and permission?
Where was that John C?
As in what area.
But Billy’s are bigger.
Surely it is TIME TO TELL STATE POLICE COMMISSIONERS to fuck off because you muslim dick lickers cannot protect anyone.
Hi Steve trickler.
Been waiting for an excuse to post my favorite contrived flash mob:
What a disgusting person she turned out to be.
DrBeauGan, may I transfer you $10,000 to your Plus500 account on the understanding that you will transfer me $3000 per week, minus your commission.
There is something I don’t understand about all this.
When I ‘had the farm” I confronted a carload of the indigenous – drunk and truculent, on the place, certainly without any permission, and had just driven through a mob of lambing ewes – an act comparable to driving a tank, through a maternity ward.
“Ay, white count, Aboriginal land – always was, always will be. What’s your name?”
“Snowy Rowles” says I – let Doctor Google be your friend – “and there’s a fvcking great heap of mallee roots over there.” They did leave, but I don’t think they got the historical reference.

American women who give up their american citizenship to live in Australia on a permanent basis are always deeply suspect.
No one successful or talented ever leaves America.

If I had John Howard right here in front of my face I would smack him.
Not only was the ‘treasurer’ for scum bag Fraser, and all that mad so called Liberal Party of Australia shit at that time.
BUT
He created the legislative shit to get his dumb fuck brother out of trouble and hence we have unions that control superannuation.
He created the RET that has taken us from the lowest cost electricity to the highest
He signed up for Kyota by abusing and using state based laws.
As far as I am concerned John Howard should be dead.
The ALA did make attemps to amalgamate with the AC but nothing came from it. I understand that the door hasn’t been firmly shut though. Kirralie Smith, who stood as an ALA NSW Senate candidate in the last elections, joined the AC as she has been a long term friend of Cory Bernadi through their shared Christian faith.
The ALA is opposed to further Muslim immigration, if you’re happy with more of them coming, then vote for whomever you want.
I want all immigration stopped for at least 3 years just to see how that works out.
A possibility of good AC candidates in the Senate and State upper houses is still better than potentially great ALA candidates with no chance.
Its a numbers games. If you don’t have the numbers, you don’t get to play.
Safe Schools via SOTA had an insurmountable obstacle: Mum right there in the room, listening to the same radio.

So all those remote settlements no longer need education?
The self identified suburban koories really are sucking all funding from their needy remote cousins.

I’ve just lost $30,000, wiping out all my gains. Are you sure you still want me to handle your investments, Bron?
This one’s for military Cats.
A very powerful doco on the Battle of Long Tan, from History Special Event channel. The action film is rubbish – but “Zero Alpha, this is Four. My Sunray killed in action.” and Bob Buick deciding “well we were in the shyte , in fact, deep shyte” just about sums it all up.
Just focus in on exchange rates and interest rates.
And the underlying mechanisms
Anything else is just distraction.
The ozbuck shot through 76¢, OWG. I got burnt.
Sorry, this is WA. Kooris can fuck off; the guys here are Noongars and Wongis and man many others.
Horn did that after dropping 4kgs in a day.
He’s a tough man.
If I’d pulled out at 75¢ I’d have made $10,000 instead of losing $30,000. Sigh.
ZK2A,
Those men at Long Tan.
Where did this come from? I worked for SotA in WA, and Corro School, and have heard zilch about this. Frankly, I can’t believe it’s true.
Dr Beau Gangles
You made my night with your above comments.
I appreciate what you say.
And yes, track currencies and interest rates.
The only 2 products with interest.
It was horribly leveraged, OWG. I was in for eight million dollars. Oh well. It’s gone through 76¢ and is out the other side. Wasn’t ready for the spike.
Educational, I suppose.
Fed rate decision tonight. Time to be flat until the dust settles, Doc.
Wow. Politico has the emails exchanged by the FBI agent who cleared Clinton and interviewed Flynn …
Peter Strzok and fellow agent, Lisa Page – the woman he was adulterously rooting – discuss how they (and others) intend to bring down Trump:
Trump Attorney Jay Sekulow has today called for a Special Prosecutor to be named to investigate what is – unquestionably – the worst political corruption scandal in US history.
Chris
Kindly understand that Long Tan was a battle and there were others. Shitty war.
For a fact I know a bloke, Aboriginal, and a pointman with my cousin, who lost his life when he and my cousin went over a ‘ridge’ and copped it.
My cousin and I hugged each other when he and I came home and he understood what I had been through and I understood what he had been through.
Jesus Christ OWG, I’m aware you’re apparently emotional tonight but the subject was one of those battles in that shitty war. Long Tan, 18 August 1966 to be exact.
Chris is correct. Real men all, including those who lost either lives after digging in with bayonets and ET tools in the rubber, in the pissing rain before being outnumbered 10 to 1 at least, before artillery and cavalry in the form of APCs got most of them out.
And the same diggers went back out the next morning to find the bodies of their mates during battlefield clearance. Still in the prone position, all of them still facing the direction of the enemy and most with empty mags.
Read Bob Buick’s book ‘All Guts No Glory’ and you’ll get an appreciation of the battle. Note carefully that his own experiences don’t take away from anybody else or any other contact.
BTW, in my infantry section we didn’t have ‘pointmen’. We had forward scouts, two if we were lucky. Pointmen were on Starship Troopers, I think.
And as any infanteer will tell you, you go around ‘ridges’, not over them. If you must go over one, if your arse isn’t hugging the ground you will indeed cop it.
Knuckle Dragger
I get emotional every night.
Forward scout versas ‘pointman’
I agree the subject was that shitty war.
When I say ridge its like me saying hill.
My stupid cousin came over a lump in the ground, thought he and his ‘forward scout’ mate saw the enemy and stated fgiring.
By the time the rest of the blokes came up they had nearly wiped out the entire village.
You reckon my cousin doesnt beat his brains out for that action.
30 years later his youngest brother rang me to ask me to help my cousin because he was concerned that his oldest brother was going to kill himself.
I got the fone number and rang him and said get fucked I love you, repeatedly.
Then I went to Townsville to get him.
He is still alive.
So get fucked knuckle dragger
No offence meant, OWG, and none taken.
respect KD
should see the shit I put up with where I am. LOL
Knuckle Dragger
If I told you some of the stupid things I’ve done in my life you would laugh at me and kick sand in my face. LOL
And you have to watch the internals of where you work.
That was the saddest thing for me to be signed up to whatever degree of Australian secrecy and find out ‘shit’ you would prefer not to know.

Steve Kelley.
Rick McKee.
A.F. Branco.
Lisa Benson.
I rarely read Steyn, but he definitely has a good sense of humour. But I do not fully understand his opinion of Moore. On one hand, he is an idiot (his interview about chasing girls; or his wife’s about Jews). On the other, he is authentic. An authentic idiot? Maybe, quoting Steyn again, he would fit right in?
But Steyn himself is not honest. He says: ‘Moore is getting berated by Republicans for being insufficiently keen on gay sex. ‘ That is a little understatement. Moore is (I should say was) not just insufficiently keen. He says gay sex should be a criminal offence. Whatever you think about homosexuality, this is a little extreme even for a Bannon conservative. Apparently not for Steyn.
anyway, NO MOORE.
LOL
A reasonable and sober summary at the BBC:

You don’t think that a President of the USA finally declaring Jerusalem the Capital City of Israel, with the full endorsement of 3 prior Presidents and a constitutional law on the books from back whenever, is actually not ‘more’ important?
Wanky Franklin will now definitely go.
Conyers is gone.
The shit is going to absolutely hit the fan about Justice Department, which includes the FBI, and I’m still waiting on the Secret Service shit to exude from the bowels of Mueller.
I struggle to imagine what laws would be broken if a flash mob does not obtain such permission. Possible some council by-laws, but it is still difficult to imagine and agency actually prosecuting.
All true except for the ‘nice hair’ – it’s awful (she can’t do a thing with it) but she does have nice legs and nice clothes
On the subject of the Bennelong by-election – Labor always wants the kids — Bennelong: kids caught in campaign crossfire as Keneally loses cool (will post full article below) but these few pars give a flavour of what it’s been like for the good burghers of Bennelong – note the school principal’s comments – I think her political slip is showing – dumb
You surely jest 2dogs and I presume you mean 2 dogs fucking.
What country do you live in?
That’s like saying “a reasonable and sober summary at the ABC”.
Yep I read the article. I wish you hadn’t made me do it at 6am before breakfast.
Another fail for BoM.
39 yesterday and only moderate northerly winds. Headers were stopped but mostly for fear of insurance and being the only silly bugger in the district to start a fire. The cool change arrived at 8pm with only moderate winds that dropped to not much after an hour. Normal summer weather.
O tempura! O more-ish!
Especially the prawn when it is fresh cooked and near bursts when you bite into it.
Not often I find myself agreeing with Bandanna Man, but on his campaign against the Sydney stadium rebuilds and the re-allocation of sporting grants to grass roots community sports, he is on the money.
One for whisky Cats…
Scotland’s first recorded whisky distillery founded in 1494 starts production again
Ok the Sun is still well below the yardarm, the article is a shameless plug, and the siting of the distillery is a gimmick of the most obvious kind but who cares? It’s fun!
I wonder if those robocalls have ever influenced a single vote in the intended direction? Might even be counterproductive.
I reckon political campaign directors only do it because if they didn’t and then lost they could be accused of throwing the election away.
Sydney Boy,
Your agreement with Pirate Pete is only superficial.
You don’t want the work done because you think it a waste of money.
Pirate Pete just thinks it is the wrong waste of money.
He would prefer the money spent on renaming all of Sydney’s roads to Rue de Chifley, a museum to all the Aborigines who died in the Cromwell’s army defeating a Monarch, and the erection (and that is precisely the word) of a giant fountain of Gough Whitlam with water shooting from its eyes and a great LED array shining simulated sunlight from its arse.
Quite so, Mother Lode. Pirate Boy still wants to squander the money.
And Lindores Abbey and distillery was ruined by the joyless jihadis of their day, John Knox and his band of not so merry men.
Did you hear about the NRL getting another 40 million of state money to build community centres, gyms & ‘centres of excellence’ ?
Sport deserves NO govt money, except councils providing, and maintaining playing fields, and even then half the sporting fields in our shire could be easily closed, with a clever bit of scheduling
The big leagues, ie AFL, NRL, ARU and whatever bodies run wogball, netball, basketball and watching paint dry(cricket) – have a vested interest in developing junior talent, let them pay for it out of their profits, and parents can pay the rest.

The latest revelations of the meeting in McCabe’s office with Strzok and Page who laid out an insurance plan against a Trump election victory are a real problem. This suggests what I have always thought, this was a coup by intelligence agencies against the electorate by removing the President they elected.
This is the problem of an out of control public sector. Notice how Rosenstein has arrogated all power over special counsel Mueller to himself. Make no mistake the public sector in Australia will be taking note. They run the country and they will decide what policies are enacted. The electorate is just there to rubber stamp their decisions.

The leader of Purdue University’s School of Engineering Education recently declared that academic “rigour” reinforces “white male heterosexual privilege.” “One of rigour’s purposes is, to put it bluntly, a thinly veiled assertion of white male (hetero)sexuality,” she writes, explaining that rigour “has a historical lineage of being about hardness, stiffness, and erectness; its sexual connotations — and links to masculinity in particular — are undeniable.”
Hardness and stiffness. And we can’t have any of that beastliness in the minds of people who may one day be working on projects involving cranes and scaffolding. According to Dr Donna Riley, academic rigour and the expectation of competence are “exclusionary” and tools of “privilege,” and are unfair to women and minorities, for whom rigour and competence are presumably impossible. Dr Riley goes on to denounce engineering’s “cultures of whiteness and masculinity,” and informs us that, “scientific knowledge itself is gendered, raced, and colonising.”
To fight this, Riley calls for engineering programmes to “do away with” the notion of academic rigour completely, saying, “This is not about reinventing rigour for everyone, it is about doing away with the concept altogether so we can welcome other ways of knowing. Other ways of being. It is about criticality and reflexivity.” David Thompson
Coming soon to an airport near you. An airliner built by a committee of feminists and dysfunctional brown folk. Once at cruising altitude you will have reached peak stupid.
Don’t know about America but I do know in Australia we should sack/payout/dismiss/whatever the top 1/3rd as in third of all employees of EVERY single department.
Then some folk would know that playtime is over!
Every single Government Department is staffed by incompetent people and WE know that because the politicians cannot make competent decisions.
Donna Riley don’t get it.
The so called Australian Public Service have so disgraced themselves that the entire lot should be dismissed.
Every single one of them.

The Engineering faculty is now hers to make into whatever she wants. Sure it is not really engineering, and no student took out a loan for their degree to scream out ‘participation award’, but that is nought compared to Donna having a faculty all of her own.

We elect politicians to deliver the policies we vote on at election time. But then they get into office and are hamstrung by their public sector advisors who push the policies they favour because they are good for public servants.
In the end money is power. If you make the public sector 40% of the economy, then they control 40% of the country’s money. Don’t expect them to voluntarily give up any power they have amassed on the back of that control of the purse strings.

Having a registered gunsafe makes you a target for home invasion, so the proles should be disarmed.
Got a mate who had his gunsafe raided while on holiday. The investigators were most concerned with two high value firearms he was registered on the system as having in the gunsafe.
Luckily he had documentation proving he had long since sold the specific firearms, and sent the paperwork into the system, it just hadn’t been processed properly.
You just wonder if information as valuable as the location of every firearm of value in Australia might make a ‘treasure map’ that can be sold for money by any one of a mass number of people that have access to it, including anti-gun activists.
Like volunteer activists occupy positions in intensive agriculture to bring it down from within.

Bandana Boy gives not a tinker’s cuss for how the money could be better spent and really has no idea how it could be better spent given that the gazillions spent on education has lowered the education standards across all measures for Australian children and given that the gazillions already spent in health has meant more people than ever are topping themselves, especially veterans returning from the Middle East theatres of war.
No matter what money is spent it is always the bureaucracy, and the parasitic future-eating Strangler Fig bureaucracy that bloats and expands to the detriment of all citizens with a stake in the future, and we rarely see any tangible progress for it.
Are any stadia needed? I don’t follow any sports that require such facilities.
OWG, that is just utterly stupid hyperbole, and you know it. It would throw out the good with the bad, and result in an APS utterly afraid to function. Blowhard rubbish.
The lesson of Campbell Newman is that reductions need to be targeted, and done while ‘feeling your pain” and sorrow while quietly slipping in the stiletto. Newman wanted to fix a bloated QPS, but his indiscriminate broad bludgeon and blunderbuss attacks resulted in good people being shafted with the bad, and a blowback that left Qld with the LNP out of office and an even bigger public service full of clipboard warriors than before.
So Vicpol reckon you should dial 000 when you have intruders on your remote rural properties.
Who said the cops have no sense of humour?
Take up medieval reenactment, or be a collector of reproduction historical weapons = lots of bladed and blunt weaponry easy to hand.
That is why you have to make sure the intruder is definitely dead.
There was a case in Mildura Vic, many years ago, where a ‘bod’ took something without exchanging cash but the licensee heard the smash of his front window, charged downstairs and in a Banjo Patterson ‘Maginnis Magee’ type christening threw a bottle at the runaway and actually hit him on the back of the head. Took him to the ground.
The Victorian Police charged the publican with, something like assault and battery. And he was convicted. No idea if he served time nor what it cost him.
The thief of course got nothing.
The consensus, love that word, was of the opinion he should have shot him dead. No argument then. Even the police agreed.
Isn’t that the case.
The lefty brain – not really a place where logic is native at the best of times – cannot see the difference between coincidence, correlation, cause and effect.
You make an observation which contains any reference to race and they take it as a racial attack.
If you remark that is a simple fact that, in the US, black guys have high incarceration rates because there are so many in impoverished neighbourhoods and they have a high crime rate, and it will be understood that you meant all black men are natural born criminals who need to be locked up.
That Page woman and her:

There was a ‘defend palestine’ rally in front of the State Library in Melbourne yesterday evening. By my sample count there were easily 50-60 police in attendance. Can’t wait for the organisers of the rally to get their bill for $50,000 from Vicpol.

I am however, an observer of what happens when a bludgeon is used when surgery is the better option. Originally it was just sack em all! Now it’s a spill. Regardless, you express an extremely high level of naivety if you think the follow on recruitment process would only select the good. More likely, the most slimy venal apparatricks would get reappointed because they know people, are owed by others and where the bodies are buried.
The recent Qld example demonstrates your approach will, in the end, result in a worse outcome.

A culture has been allowed to take root in the APS which should never have been able to.
Most people who join the APS would be attracted by the frankly absurd remuneration and all the perks, and the fact that the work is far from arduous. Anything that would be problematic in the private sector where results count works to your advantage.
No one would join the APS at the intake level because in 20 years they will be able to impose their socialist dream. That is something that will take root though because the APS is a little bit of a communist state grafted onto Australia. Insular, lacking are understanding of how value is produced or where the wealth comes from that pays their salaries.
The bureaucratic mandarins running departments see themselves as rightfully running the nation.
And to hold them in check we have the most venal and incompetent people who have joined mini-bureaucracies in the form of the political parties.
The APS should be restructured to frustrate the socialist mindset. Excess staff in the forms of useless staff should be removed. Merit should be introduced.
As for pollies? Every year we should pull a name out of a hat, and the lucky winner strung up by piano wire from a lamp post, resuscitated each time, taken to the next capital city and the process is repeated – until they get back to Canberra where they are left dangling and tourists can take their kids along the Avenue of Dead Weasels.
Hence why they shut it down.
They want to indoctrinate your kids, not teach them.
Getting rid of compulsory preferential voting is the single greatest improvement that could be made to Australian democracy. The first job of a political party is to put up candidates and policies that get its own voters out to vote for them. It would kill Chrissy Pyne and his Black Hand Photios puppets stone dead within a single electoral cycle.

Racism likely at play in low Indigenous kidney transplants, AMA says
Although racist kidney specialists allocating scarce transplant resources find: “We’ve found that Indigenous Australians who return to remote areas in particular were at greater risk of firstly rejecting their kidney — and seeing kidney failure occur — but secondly, of acquiring infection” .
And incompetence treated harshly.
Thanks Tom. I love the Soros cameo.
Imperative. But how to make it happen?
Our rulers will not implement something that will surely destroy their power base.
OWG, I suggest rather than the indiscriminate bludgeon, you decide on a list of programs to eliminate, and lay off the people there. And Lo, you will also probably get rid of the people you are railing against.
In the public service, there are those seen as ‘labor’ departments and a small number seen as ‘LNP’ departments. While labor in is power, aligned departments grow and aggressively exert their influence on the others. Non aligned departments are where labor implements its token cuts and redirects funds away to favoured programs a la Pirate Boy above.
So the LNP gets in and implements your strategy. 33% across the board. This hurts the programs implemented by the’LNP’ type departments more than the giant ‘labor’ type ones, because the LNP type departments are already operating tightly compared with the monster departments. Politically, it is seen by LNP types as attacking the base. So nobody likes it.
I see in the headlines, that the 14 metre-long rotting dead whale carcass carted back to sea from the beach last week, has once again washed up on the Sorrento Beach in deepest, darkest, Victoriastan, stinking out the suburb.
Authorities should cart the thing away and ideally dump it in Parliament House, Spring Street.
It wouldn’t smell any less, but in the general stink caused by the corrupt C.F.M.E.U. Misgovernment of Premier Setka, his gofer Dodgy Dan and all the rest of the Crims’ Party no-hopers, at least the sickening stench of the whale would totally fit in with the general ambiance of the joint.

Coincidentally, David Archibald has done just that at Quadrant in his piece “Please, Santa, an Axe for Christmas”. As he introduces it – a Yuletide hit list of waste and agencies just crying for the chop
Some examples.
Department of Education and Training – Most of this department’s activities should be closed and individuals could decide what they need from their own resources.
Department of Health – …there is a quick half billion in savings without harming anything productive.
Department of Industry, Innovation and Science – This department spends $2.2 billion a year on a grab bag of things, at least half of which could be stopped without anybody noticing.
Archibald has put forward a sensible and well argued list of expenditure reductions. It’s well with the read.
(I especially like his tongue in cheek suggestion to decentralise the ABC to Andamooka)
Indoctrinated beyond belief.
This is what has become of us, as we ignored the filth’s activities in our education systems for years.

I would shut every cent off to Universities
They don’t even have to get to uni to fell that way. I have heard similar outpourings from some secondary school students.

Headlines in Crims’ Party Victoriastan this morning are trumpeting that the reported crime statistics for “Ashton’s Circus” are miraculously the absolute best that they have been ever since those former hand-picked A.L.P. Chief Police Commissioners, Christine Overweight and Simon Nixoff were last tickling the figures, massaging the data and upholding the Victoriastan A.L.P. Police Farce motto: “Tenez La Gauche!”
There are lies; damned lies and Crims’ Party Crime statistics.

I would put border gaurds on every single outlet from or to Mad South Austrlia and charge anyone at least their life.

All true but I’m not sure what you mean by:
Although racist kidney specialists allocating scarce transplant resources find: “We’ve found that Indigenous Australians who return to remote areas in particular were at greater risk of firstly rejecting their kidney — and seeing kidney failure occur — but secondly, of acquiring infection” .
Ergo kidney specialists determine that transplants for aborigines from remote areas are high risk.
On the basis of racism? No, but on past results as reliable indicators of future outcomes unless radical changes are made.
Changes aren’t made because of patients’ personal choices to remain in remote areas.
Institutional, systemic racism!
The Lieborals used to push it before they became the Uniparty under the wrong headed thinking of Mark Textor that says that all centre-Right votes end up with the Lieboral/Uniparty. What they are now seeing is the emergence of a fractured Centre-Right primary vote (lumping in PHON for the purposes of argument) and then preferences leaking all over the place, particularly from PHON whose “battler” constituency is more closely aligned with the old school Liars but who have also been abandoned as they chase the inner city Greenfilth to try and hold seats.
Once (and if) Waffleworth is dumped and/or the AC start eating their lunch the push will re-emerge.
My point is, arguing is pointless.
They don’t care about the truth, and we still don’t seem to get how much truth is irrelevant to them.
We, as is a good thing to do, come here and discuss the reasons the west and free speech, free market, private property rights, rule of law is vital and it helps me get my thinking straight and have the comebacks out in the real world that have floored many a noisy lefty.
We can argue with them and shut them up, all good and fine, and it may help observers to change their minds.
But the lefties that count won’t have their minds changed.

That may as be. However, no electorate will tolerate the loss of their goodies. It’s gone too far now.
A tactic that might work is to offer cash rebates to voters on the basis that such and such a department or program is abolished. Call the rebates savings and make them a monthly deposit the day after a salary deposit or government benefit to return the amount of taxes collected based on the abolition of the program or department.

Mate of mine joined the Aus Bureau of Statistics.
Within two weeks he had been indoctrinated into the rules.
These included wearing slippers in the office. Maxing out your morning and afternoon teas and lunch break was of course normal. Flexitime handling was raised to an art form.
Within two months he had worked out that the truly clever were either:
a) running small businesses from their desks;
b) spending the morning working out their racetrack betting, placing the bets on the phone TAB, and then spending the afternoon with earpiece in listening to the gee-gees, or
c) engaged in completing correspondence courses or university degrees pretty well full time.
Some of the fellow “workers” had been thus engaged for 40 years.
With horror he saw his fate approaching, and left to open up a business which did rather well.
So why not just tell people that if is what you want then you will be taxed $10 per week more and if you do not pay tax then we will increase GST to 20% and Tasmania, Northern Territory and fuckhead South Australia will piss more of your money against the wall.
All that lefties know is that right wing people are white supremacists.
We are racists, and when I used to play in bands with certain types of lefty wankers, they honestly believed, no they weren’t taking the piss, that I was sexually repressed and would have only used the missionary position.
They actually thought they were better lovers than me, even though as the lead singer, I was getting all the girls, and without being too gross about it, they often took my rejects.
They were always onto me to dress up, dye my hair or paint my fingernails black.
I would not.
Our band had quite a bit of success due to me staying plain and ordinary looking.
A T shirt and jeans type of guy without even a tattoo.
I oozed the dreaded right wing……………….
I was banned from any sort of government funded promotion, so easily obtained by any local indigenous group, or lefty group, the rest of them.
Unofficially banned from CAAMA studios, any Gov funded radio interviews except for once, due to lead guitarist having an ABC journalist girlfriend.
I never muttered a political comment on stage and anyone who ever played with me was told not to.
Midnight oil or any political song was never played.
The point being is they own and control ALL that is taxpayer funded.
They are as dumb as dogshit, and they are only interested in their own advantage, and the cost to others is irrelevant.
They must be defunded, for the sake of all you great white men out their who have flipped your lover over and can somehow, magically, still vote right wing.
We are not up against smart people who seek the truth.
We are up against those who claim to be on our side, but won’t defund them.
They are our true enemies.
Trick is in the emphasis.
All the talk of party loyalty, dedication to Australia, hard work and such, we all know it is a sham. We let them get away with it as a kind of ceremony, but these are overwhelmingly shallow, opportunistic, self-adoring idiots.
Offer them a chance to enhance their power at the expense of the next generation and they would climb over each other to ask ‘how?’
We would all be much better off if they abolished the ABS. Not collecting official statistics worked wonders for Hong Kong.

You don’t go around closing down the public service BEFORE you have created a boom in the private sector.
This has always been their problem.
Well it used to be anyway.
They would come in, like Cambell Newman did, and slash and burn BEFORE he fixed up the employment situation on the productive private sector side.
When I am PM, the first thing I will concentrate on is cutting regulation and taxes on the private sector, allowing growth, then quietly closing down the public service, who can then head off into the many toilet cleaning opportunities that will be available to them in the private sector, with no immigration allowed until the toilets are spotless.

When I say “bribe them”, I don’t mean personally bribe the politicians or the voters.
Do what the leftists do. Use govt. to bribe them, by promising gifts/rebates/benefits on the basis of removing a program/dept. that is against our agenda. i.e. abolish ABC and return the savings as a tax rebate each month. Make it in your face obvious that the party is giving you benefits. Especially a monthly payment that the opposition will find extremely difficult to remove – without electoral pain.

I agree Tinta, the issue of veteran suicides is not a health issue. It is a training issue. There are more psychologists and psychiatrists in the ADF than ever before yet the suicide rate is exponentially greater than it has ever been.
The problem is that soldiers are no longer being prepared properly for warfare. Joint training of males and females has taken the robustness out of training and service men and women are now no different to civilians.
Of course the ADF response to increased suicide is to employ even more pyschs, while increasing the percentage of women homos, trannies, Muslims and other assorted freaks, rather than toughening up the training.
The traitors are doing more to destroy the ADF than the combined might of the Boers, Germans, Turks, Italians, Japs, Norkoms, Indons, Chicoms, Vietnamese and Taliban.
I do. Moreover I don’t think the Alabama defeat is such a big blow to Trump. If he learns from this, eats a bit of humble pie and stops supporting extreme candidates in primaries, it may even do him good. The test will come very soon.
Trump is a pretty unique phenomenon and he has many sides. It is not all black and white.

Decline of Victoria
My wife and I have enjoyed living in Melbourne. We considered it was the best place on Earth having visited more than 50 countries. But Victoria has lost its way.
Thousands of new arrivals in an already overcrowded, outdated infrastructure that can’t cope, a Labor government intent on social engineering destroying our culture and innocence of our children, and paying back favours to Andrews-supporting groups at the expense of most Victorians are a few of my observations.
I despair at the waterfront dispute where the militant MUA has summoned their CFMEU mates and other unions to challenge court rulings to stop any work at Webb Dock while Victoria Police take no action against illegal behaviour. How can our society tolerate the CFMEU defying the courts?
The ignorance and apathy of voters aside, I cannot believe that the Andrews Labor government is 50-50 in the polls; it doesn’t say a lot for the opposition. Wake up, Victorians.

I love a good pizza and the first one I had was at Toto’s Pizza House https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toto%27s_Pizza_House
I have set up, staffed and ensured cooks were going to deliver the goods at a Murray River Golf Club. They came from miles around to buy the food and then would go on to play the poker machines or just wine and dance.
Johanna or Des Deskperson will remember better than I but there was a bloke, with his family, that could make a corn tortilla on the spot. I’ve forgotten the name of the market but it was out Lyenam way but he also used to be at the Canberra Bus Depot market.
If you blokes think that selling 50 pizzas an hour is an accomplishment then I can tell you that you will go broke.
In a fast moving environment such as a market you need to be geared up for at least a thousand sales in one hour. That’s it. They have gone. You have one hour. And you can make a LOT of money in that hour.
I can tell you other stuff but if you want to bake pizzas don’t expect to sell them at a market to make money.
Nice hobby though.
Cut and Paste from the Oz. Alarming stuff:
Birmo bowled over by catastrophic civics results, but just have a look at kids’ leftie diet
CUT & PASTE
Children are failing democracy classes but they can name all 63 genders
Our kids aren’t too keen on democracy. Lowy Institute poll, June 21:
In previous Lowy Institute Polls, the responses of younger Australians to this question have been striking, with only a minority of the 18-29 year age group expressing a preference for democracy up until 2016. In 2017, a bare majority (52 per cent) of Australians aged 18-29 years agree that democracy is the preferable form of government.
And it probably doesn’t help they’re failing basic civics lessons. The Australian, yesterday:
The civics results, which Education Minister Simon Birmingham branded “woeful”, reveal that only 38 per cent of Year 10 students last year achieved at or above a proficient standard when tested on the values, institutions and practices of Australian government — significantly lower than in tests conducted in 2010 and 2013.
Who can blame them when they’re fed leftie nonsense all day instead of getting real civics lessons? The Australian, August 18:
… the Forestville Public School (is) under fire for staging a play last week on the Stolen Generations that featured Year 6 students dressed up as nuns abusing indigenous children.
Teachers are too busy pushing progressive agendas. The Australian, December 16 last year:
Bill Shorten says schoolchildren should be writing to Santa instead of sending political messages to MPs amid revelations Year 3 students at a Sydney public school launched a petition against child asylum-seekers in detention.
And teaching biased material. The Australian, May 16 last year:
A Melbourne playwright has defended herself against claims a play set in Gaza and studied by Victorian high school students is anti-Israel …
The federal Education Minister does seem to recognise there’s a problem. Simon Birmingham on Seven’s Sunrise program, yesterday:
I think this is a real worry … That the citizenship and civics areas, we’re seeing less than 40 per cent of high school students showing proficiency in terms of their understanding of the way our system of government works, our courts work, the basics of being successful participants.
But he needs to lead on civics. Instead of focusing on Western democratic institutions, we’re teaching kids stuff like this. The Australian, October 14 last year:
Victorian students will be taught about “male privilege” … The Victorian government will push ahead with the rollout of its $21.8 million respectful relationships education program, despite claims the program fails to consider the multiple and complex drivers of family violence … and amounts to the brainwashing of children.
And this. The Australian, September 7 last year:
The NSW government has ordered an investigation into the Education Department’s launch of an official teaching resource that urges teachers to “de-gender” their classroom language and promotes activities that encourage students to think about sexuality as “non-binary” or … “like temperature or the weather”.
We have a lot of work to do here. Kevin Donnelly in The Australian, yesterday:
Those doubting whether Australia’s education system has been captured by the cultural left need look no further than the results of the 2016 years 6 and 10 civics and citizenship survey.

Fakenews.
Trump did not support Moore in the primary.
Fixored for correctness.
Civics and citizenship?!?! Teach them to read and write and ‘rithmetic you fucking morons!!
Analysing dunnies for traces of drug use.
When it suits them, the State will introduce robot dunnies that can book you while you are still on the crapper.
Unless you are useful to the left, then they will sit on those results for a bit.
So Vicpol reckon you should dial 000 when you have intruders on your remote rural properties.
Phone, note time of call and time of their arrival, sue for actual losses and “psychological trauma”.
After a few big payouts reality might set in.
I don’t want to know how they will secure you till the cops arrive.
A ‘well connected’ lone wolf? That’s an oxymoron.
johanna,
Following on from yesterday, here is the young Patricia at 2 months short of her 17th Birthday singing one of many songs titled “Ave Maria”.
About 6 months before this, she won the Sacred Arias Award in Italy – teen acne and all.
Victoriastanis presently wailing about the week long closure of Hoddle St after voting in a government that paid $1bn not to build a road to fix it.
Democracy – good and hard.
Check her out as a kid singing this Morricone classic
You mean like a moderate Mohammadean?
If he learns from this, eats a bit of humble pie and stops supporting extreme candidates in primaries, it may even do him good.
Actually, Trump supported Luther Strange in the primary, who was the “establishment” candidate picked by Mitch McConnell and the rest of the GOP RINO swamp dwellers.
Big mistake.
The RINO’s spent enormous resources destroying Mo Brooks, who would have been a very good conservative candidate*, in the first round primary, pushing the conservative vote towards Moore, on the assumption that Moore would be easier than Brooks for Strange to beat in the runoff.
Unfortunately for them, the real conservatives got Moore across the line in the primary.
And Trump gave only a very qualified endorsement to Moore even in the general, focussing on the undesirability of a Dem being elected, not really giving Moore any sort of hagiography.
But from the RINO’s perspective it’s mission largely accomplished. They haven’t got one of their own in, but at least they’ve successfully handed the seat to the Dems rather than having the seat go to a genuine conservative who might have supported Trump.
(*Yes I’m sure he would have got the full dishonest frenetic character assassination treatment, with post-primary but pre-general “revelations” purportedly from 30 or 40 years ago, etc., etc., and we’d get cucks even on this site believing it, but I think he would have been harder to tarnish than Moore.)
I feel for Miss #4 in the background — you can see she feels uncomfortably inadequate with such a performance going on.

Fact check – 100% true.
I wasn’t game to LOL with that one.
Could have shit myself.
Apparently in Alabama:
Democrats got 92 percent of their 2016 turnout.
Republicans got 50 percent of their 2016 turnout.
And still the D’rat only just won?
