Top Ender;
Perhaps something a bit more encouraging, like “Comes back up when it gets back to port.”
Otherwise good.
Dude, no offence but you’ve shopped yourself around like a rent boy to political parties.
What is your personal view on parallel imports?
I mean you no malice as I hear you are a lovely fella and I largely agree with you.
All their abc staff that know who has done and is doing underage sexual abuse.
Do they have to keep the seal of silence about lefty pervisions that comes with preaching from their billion dollar bully pulpit?.
Show trials are only for the enemy, Comrade Kiddiefiddler Maaaaates.
Just look at the pictures of the two girls when they were around 15, about the same time Bob Ellis was f-cking at least one of them.
I cannot understand how any adult man could possibly be turned on by girls who look that young.
Bob Ellis was a very, very sick individual. His writings proved he was demented, and it seems the public and the private man were one.

I like the way car tariffs are still present, despite no car industry to protect.
Barnaby was planning to axe them until he got sidetracked.
The Hewett girls have both got books to sell, and like their old Mum, wouldn’t give a fuck whose grave they’ve got to walk over to make the sale.
Check out the photos of those girls, one of whom was around 15 when the shot was taken. It is incredible that any adult man would be attracted to girls who look that young.

I can see the spaminator is running interference for ALP pervs! Tut tut!
Yeah, he made a shopping centre appearance in a Singapore today.
It’s how Leftards roll, “Here, have a drink. Here have an underage daughter too.”
It would take 4 weeks to take over Afganistan.
Let’s try this again. Could any adult men on this thread please state whether they find the young ladies in these photos attractive? I for one cannot imagine how any man over 18 years of age would go for that.
Mr Ellis was one very sick puppy.
Calli;
Oh goodie, now I can have a swipe too:
The girl on the left needs a bra, The girl on the right needs something to put in one, but both need a damn good face scrub.
Perhaps someone more comfortable in the Twitter sewer might want to remind her about that one?
On the sauce a bit early today OWG?
Could be a good session. What are you drinking?
I can’t link to the article because the p- word is in the link, but I suggest all Cat males go to News.com.au and click on the link of the story about Bob Ellis’s two young victims.
Look at their photos, taken when they were in their mid-teens. Just contemplate the depravity for any adult male to find kids sexually attractive when they are that young.
Bob Ellis was a very, very sick man.
The “Rainbow Warrior” sent by Greenpeace? Bad show on the French part – they should have sunk it, at sea, with all hands.
I don’t exactly remember when my comments around parallel imports were aired in this place.
I’m sure that the record would show that my objections ( knowing I was a used car dealer at the time-vested interest) were around parts backup, finance and insurance issues and resale.
I’m not in the car business anymore, why would you when it struggles to return better than 3% on turnover.
We no longer have a car industry to protect, and I no longer have a vested interest in used cars.

Spare us the faux outrage, Fisky.
The photo is dated 1976/77, and while both are frumps, 19/20 and 21/22 are well over the Age of Consent in N.S.W..

So you’re putting up the Gerry Harvey defense. You support policies to fuck over the consumer if those policies work in your interests.
Frankly, we’re way overstaffed with politician who think like that.
You are the stupidest person on earth.
I am being kind.
Very stupid of you attempting to lie like that, Nemkat. They were born around 1961 and 1963 respectively.
I wonder which former Left-wing troll Nemkat is. We will find out eventually!
It’s absolutely disgusting that the rap-ist Bob Ellis was never brought to account for his crimes against underaged girls. Every Left-wing politician in Australia MUST explain what they knew and when!
Good Lord.
The housewife on Annabel Crabb’s Back in Time for Dinner (ABC TV show cycling through the household kitchen through the decades, actually about feminism…naturally) baulks at cutting up a chicken prior to cooking: “This is why I buy all my meat pre-cooked” she says.
We wouldn’t survive a war longer than a month these days.
Already done HB Bear
JC,
I support the policies of AC.
Nemkat sounds a lot like Tomix!
The frequency nemkat defends predators has become to creepy to ignore.
This was my theory months ago.
Bayonets ready!
Good luck with that one Fisky, remember Milton Orkopolous and his chief-of-staff who knew about what that repulsive creature was up to and tried to pervert the course of justice? what happened to the chief-of-staff? Became premier of NSW if I recall — this link has some interesting convicted criminals — check out the ones gaoled for sexual offences against children — every single one — check ’em out – and the Independent in Taxmania was formerly a member of a major political party guess which? — to say nothing of those who got away.
Here you go Fisky, complements of TinyURL:

Very stupid of you attempting to lie like that, Nemkat. They were born around 1961 and 1963 respectively.
Wiki says they were both born in 1960, so we’re both wrong.
In 1976/77, they were both over 16, though, so you’re still fauxing outrageously.
If Bob Ellis was there we must acknowledge that many many ALP leaders were there too.
A quick google will show how deep this peedos tentacles went. Hawke, Carr, Barry Jones, those SA leaders… all must prove they have never fucked kids.
IIRC, Tomix held the record for posting 36 hours straight, from his mother’s garage?
Nemkat tell us your theory about flouro lights and skin cancer!
What’s a flouro light, Tige?
Something to do with the wheat industry, maybe?
Oh dear oh dear!
Tomix confirmed!
A cock fuelled whack job.
Nothing ever gets past me!
That photo was later than the alleged incidents, dimkat.
Bayonets… charge!
John Constantine:
Oh, I don’t know. They would fill out our Punishment Battalions quite nicely, I think.
MV;
Especially if we entered into a Real Free Trade Zone with the US – i.e. they dropped the protectionism and subsidies on their farmers.
Actually, it would be a good avenue to meander down. I bet Trump wants to get those agribusinesses that are scamming subsidy money faster than than Shorten can stuff a luke warm pie down his guts.
Yes exactly Entropy. So Ellis was banging them when they looked even younger than the photos. FMD.
An interesting link, Baldrick. Thank you.
Open those oysters and set free the bobby calves!
Bluddee hell – I’ve just watched the Interview – RB is a legend. No punches pulled.
We need more of this.
Wow.
So Labor Party icon Bob Ellis was a child r-apist.
I ask again: when will the Federal Police investigate the Australia Council principals who lavished truckloads of money on Dorothy Hewett? When will police in other states pursue the OzLit figures who r-aped Hewett’s daughters?
I now add: who in the Labor Party knew Ellis was a child r-apist and when did they know it?
Every week I niggle at turnbull with a tweet on his page asking why we’re still paying tariffs on cars when we no longer have a car manufacturing industry. It’s all I can do and I’ll keep at it.
Ah, those were the days …
News at eleven. Seriously, Clugubrious, you didn’t know this?
Yes exactly Entropy. So Ellis was banging them when they looked even younger than the photos. FMD.
Ease up on the outrage, Fisky.
The Age of Consent is 16, no matter how old the female in the photo looks.
You’re making something out of nothing, and helping them to sell books, which is what this sordid exercise is about.

The ABC’s Washington Bureau Chief is stalking Trump in Singapore. Experts say….
Good on news.com for calling this developing scandal for what it is:
Australian celebrity paed0ph1le ring revealed
A P-ED0PH1LE ring in Australia’s arts community included literary figures and famous artists for whom prepubescent sisters were “jailbait”.
You’ll have to Google that just-filed report.
None of those people in the News story aged well at all.
Fisky (or is that twostix?).You’re being so brave this arvo, slandering poor old Bob with gay abandon, in the sure knowledge that he’s dead and can’t respond. And on the basis of stories from two old bints trying to capitalize on their mothers infamy, again slandering people who are now dead.
Does it surprise that you are doing it? No.
Way to go Gab!
Shift change, I see.
Exactly.
Gab – they just lueerve taxes. That we longer “manufacture” cars here gives them another excuse to levy even more taxes.
Cars
Exactly right, CL. An Arts Community grooming gang operated most likely with everyone’s full knowledge. The ALP must issue a statement at once!
Pretty good eh Percy? Paesano and all
How about we get the marines in Darwin to annex Australia?
Quite a few of the prominent journos of a certain vintage were part of the “Sydney Push”. We can only guess how many of the gatekeepers are child fuckers, but it’s not hard to work out who.
Journos and judges.
An Arts Community grooming gang operated most likely with everyone’s full knowledge and government subsidies.
All of them, IT.
For those whining about what’s been said about Ellis, just ponder for a moment what has befallen George Pell, who has been accused of things he can’t disprove.
I have absolutely no doubt that a certain Leftwing journo has fucked young boys in the 70s.
Australian celebrity paed0ph1le ring revealed
Is anyone surprised?
Nick – Ellis was a notorious degenerate. The Pell, not so much.
You’ve narrowed it down to about 2000 people.
lol
the 70s were the most disgusting time in human history. Every monstrous collectivist perversion we’re forced to put up with now was road tested back then.
There’s a stench of something foul about a lot of lefties. These aren’t just stupid people who have mistakenly absorbed wrong ideas about economics.
Every week I niggle at turnbull with a tweet on his page asking why we’re still paying tariffs on cars when we no longer have a car manufacturing industry. It’s all I can do and I’ll keep at it.
Keep it up! Also need to tackle the LHD issue! I can import a LHD 70’s mustang and not convert it, but a modern LHD car?! Hell no!
On the way to work in Guam drive past the GMC dealer, we agreeing robbed blind

Lucky the after parties were so well chaperoned.
Comrade schoolmaaaates.
Dorothy Hewett celebrated the end of Tariffs and Protection in Australia, Doc.
To which mistakenly absorbed wrong ideas about economics. do you refer?
Bingo!
Good call John C!
Kerry O’Brien and Bob Ellis were good mates.
Keep googling.
Kerry doesn’t give off that sicko vibe.

Hence my point, Percy. Who has been castigated the most ?
Australian subs have two non-negotiable characteristics:
– they must have an extremely long range
– they must not have nuclear-powered propulsion.
The first is obvious due to the nature of the kinds of long-range missions Australian subs need to undertake. The second is purely political.
Blind Freddy can see nuclear propulsion is the obvious choice for Australia’s submarines. There’s a reason why we could purchase any number of nuclear-powered attack subs off the shelf, yet there is not a single diesel-electric sub available off the shelf that meets our requirements. However, doing the logical thing and opting for nuclear subs is a bipartisan deal-breaker, so we have to spend an inordinate amount of money redesigning an existing sub to meet our diesel-electric requirements, and of course this one-off redesign of an incredibly complicated piece of machinery is going to be both hideously expensive and plagued with problems for years after delivery.
So stupid. So, so stupid.

He’d be so much happier if he quit while he’s behind and took up as consort to a geriatric pervert Australian leftard journo.
Oh dear someone is clamouring for attention again. It isn’t getting any, either. I guess it must be very, very angry.
JC;
There is a class in this nation that produces nothing for the nation and just imports manufactured goods from overseas. It then doubles or trebles the price and is responsible for the accelerating cost of living that is sucking up discretionary funds from every person.
Last week, I spoke of the process of buying a neodymium magnet. The one I was looking at was – with postage – about $60.
I ended up buying the same magnet from China for about $6 and free postage. Just stop and think about that again. I bought an item that was on sale in China and the Australian item was ten times more expensive.
Is there a way to find out the size of the importing sector in Australia?
There’s some different sicko vibes, Fisky. Bill Clinton has one, Hillary another.
I have no idea what gets KO excited, having his bum whacked by a stout lady in fishnets and a Nazi hat, perhaps. But something twisted, I’d take bets.
G7 notes: Trump showed up late to the ‘gender equality’ working group and blew off the Climate Change working group altogether.
What a rock star.

What ever happened to the Churches having Priests with balls?
Any government that gaoled Priests in this country would get its guts kicked through the top of its head.
Can anyone picture a Magistrate being stupid or arrogant enough to lock a Priest up for refusing to say what went on in the confessional?
This photo of Merkel and the others/Trump at the G7 is a classic – is Trump thinking: Make my day
If we had a Trump in the LNP he would be dropping absolute bombs given the revelations of debauchery in the Sydney arts complex this weekend.
Daniel Mannix had the second last pair, you know who’s got the last pair.
Good lord. Bob Ellis predicted this seven years ago, and basically admitted that Left-wing artistic types are more likely to be sex predators. Guilty conscience?
From 2011…

This photo of Merkel and the others/Trump at the G7 is a classic
Indeed, it is; will the photographer get a Pulitzer?
Somene should ask Turnbull to denounce Ellis.
That would be entertaining.
What did the ALP know and when did they know it?
Australian subs have three non-negotiable requirements.
They must have long range.
They must have any power source other than nuclear.
They must never be capable of deploying aggressively against the Revolutionary Freedom Fighting Forces of Decolonialisation.
The side issue of the supplying country being a fashionable place to visit, and the submarine supplier being hospitable and generous to weary submarine buyers travelling from half a world away is simply a given.
It isn’t corrupt when everybody does it.
Comrade Commission Jobs for the Boys Maaaates.
Trump gets involved in the California law case against big oil via the DoJ:
I do laugh at that very very angry (vewwy vewwy angwy) shit that some of the clowns here peddle.
And given the statistics involved and the number of ALP MPs gaoled for sexual offences against children perhaps the Royal Commission into the institutional responses to child sexual abuse should be re-opened to include a thorough examination of the overarching institution which legislates in relation to all other institutions which respond to child sexual abuse.
Bloody hell, fisky. That Oz article from 2011 is pretty damn revealing.
Kerry doesn’t give off that sicko vibe.

No, you’re far from alone.
The ABC is nothing if not predictable:
‘It’s a trap’: Experts fear Trump is being played by North Korea with summit
It’s the weirdest thing. Trump is constantly getting “played”, yet everything somehow seems to work out his way. Anyone would think he knows what he’s doing and the “experts” are the clueless ones.
This is such an excellent point.
Ellis and a whole bunch of leftie luvvies had regular kiddie sex, but George Pell touched a boy’s bottom while throwing him in the air in a pool.
The rule of law is dead in this country.
More BS – badly bitch-slapped by Jacinta Price for hypocrisy the gormless and clueless BS calls up the Republic
Time for Australian head of state: Shorten
Wishing for a Trump in the LNP is like wishing for a Patton in the ADF.
Not going to happen.
Well that’s what I think – expert – “ex” being the unknown quantity and “spurt” being a drip under pressure
No, I didn’t know Bob Ellis was molesting somebody’s children in the 1970s.
I’m not sure what ‘Clugubrious’ means.
Gilroy worried about the ALP that was once traditionally Catholic.
My Repetitive Scrolling Injury is really playing up today.
If all the snowflakes have finished their faux emoting over unable to defend himself Bob Ellis, this guy was a real badass in the 48 States, and elsewhere.

ALP covering up the past? I am shocked!
I think we have established to our satisfaction that Nemkat is indeed Tomix!
Good on Barnaby for pursuing that grub outside church this morning.
There is no reason at all for a photographer to be literally stalking him.
Debellatio.
Their transnational leftist orcs occupying Australia will settle for nothing less.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debellatio
” literally, “warring (the enemy) down”, from Latin bellum “war”) designates the end of war caused by complete destruction of a hostile state. According to a certain definition, “One party to a conflict has been totally defeated in war, its national institutions have disintegrated, and none of its allies continue to challenge its enemy militarily on its behalf”.[1]”
Warring the enemy down.
Comrades.
The Age of Consent is 16, no matter how old the female in the photo looks.
You’re making something out of nothing, and helping them to sell books, which is what this sordid exercise is about.
True, but it sounds like a drug riddled scene with 15/16 year old pretty lasses offered up, with no consent given to old men in the literary/arts/journalism scene – at the time the cream of Australia. Well, still is, but a very exclusive group.
Yes. In this country, yes.
Most corrupt country on earth.

In Victoriastan they would all be lining up to do it. As fast as VicPol, Australia’s most politised police force, could round them up to do so.
Google search: “alp scandal” includes several banned words even urls include banned words. And the MSM continue the cover ups. And true believers keep voting.
In any case, how are they going to know if someone divulged in the Confessional that they abused a child or children? How’s it actually going to work? Is plod going to tape confessions? Are they going to ask a caught p3do if he went to confession first, which priest and then what – charge the priest with hearing confession?
Idiots.

No, we won’t ever have an Australian Trump.
But we do now have an Australian Mueller:
Former spy boss begins wide-ranging review of Australia’s special forces.
2012: ASIO boss says we need more Muslim recruits to combat terror threats in Australia.
I think we can see where this is going.
With the Liars drawing heavily on unionists and the ambulance chasing lawyers that aid and abet them this should not come as any surprise. This does not explain their predilection for kiddy fiddling but certainly covers the usual theft, fraud, misrepresentation and abuse of office.

Chinese plane leaves Pyongyang after brief landing: flight route tracker
BEIJING, June 10 (Yonhap) — A Chinese private jet left North Korea on Sunday about an hour after it landed in the North’s capital, a flight route-tracking website showed.
Bring it UN! Kim Jong-un arrives in Singapore on an Air China flight two days before historic summit with Trump – after North Korea dispatched his private jet on dummy flight as a security diversion
Kim arrived at Singapore’s Changi Airport on an Air China jet on Sunday afternoon, local time, after his longest trip overseas as head of state amid huge security precautions on the city-state island.
North Korea’s capacity for distraction and sleight of hand was on show as two decoy flights also made their way to Singapore from North Korea.
In all, three aircraft – including the North Korean leader’s private plane – made their way to Singapore from Pyongyang airport, a facility that frequently sees fewer than three international flights a day.
One of them was the ageing Soviet-made Ilyushin-62 that is Kim’s personal jet – officially known as ‘Chammae-1’, or Goshawk-1, after the North’s national bird but perhaps more memorably dubbed ‘Air Force Un’.
But while Singapore is well within its range, questions have been raised about its reliability and Kim, it turned out, was not on board.
Instead he flew on an Air China Boeing 747. According to flight tracking website Flightradar24, it took off using flight number CA122, a standard designation for the airline’s route from Pyongyang to Beijing.
In midair, it changed its callsign to CA061 and headed south, landing in Singapore at 2.36pm local time
Prisons will be filled with priests. Then what?
Who’s laughing now?
Areff, Sinc has my email, if you wish.
What a total tosser Barnaby turned out. All he had to do is wave when he saw the photographer and there would be no story or anything worth reporting. Threatening someone and it’s a scandal.
A nation of 24 million, less than one half of one percent of the world’s population, occupying a very large continent is not a situation that will last.

Aren’t USN nuclear subs built at Electric Boat in Groton, Connecticut? Long road?
And the media before the interview?
So now it is confirmed beyond all doubt. The ADF is out to destroy Special Forces in general and the SAS in particular.
First they pay millions of dollars for a feminist academic to write a report on SF operations in Afghanistan. (Just think about that for second). Then they use her utterly predictable report to conduct a legal review by the Inspector General of the ADF who then – against all legal principles – puts out a public call for rumours about any misconduct by our troops. Now they have hired a Muslim-loving, left wing fanatic to conduct an “independent” review of SF units.
Okay, we know Jeff Sengleman hired the feminist moll.
We know Mark Binskin instructed the IG to conduct his witch hunt on the advice of Angus Campbell.
So who hired David Irvine?
We need to know who these traitors are.
Watching Paul Murray now and I don’t know what is more alarming, the security failure at the Prince of Wales Hospital or that the sign on the hospital building not only has Chinese script on it but that it is above the hospitals’ name in English.
I suppose this supports my earlier comment about who will own us in the near future, Gladys has decided it will be the Chinese while the security guards say it will be Muslims.

Chinese cuisine is better. Particularly if second hand sheep or goat is the meal du jour in the Islamic option.
What do we need them for when the surrender document is just about composed and will be delivered shortly.
Fact check: false.
Slop with rice.
If there was no TV interview and if he just went away for a few months nobody would have cared. The TV interview gave the photographers an idea there may be money in it.
Calli, you may be right. Friends who have been to China tell me that the food is inedible, what we get here is far from authentic Chinese cuisine. One friend just ate rice until she got back to Hong Kong.
The obese grub has been following Barnaby for days; that’s why Joyce confronted him, camera on.
The fact that Joyce gave an interview is not a green light to be stalked in the street.
And the ‘threat’ allegation is total bullshit.
It’s not that bad. I’ve had some great dishes in out of the way parts of China. Dim sum in HK is great, though the rest of Cantonese food lacks variety and heat.
Richo attacks Shorten.

Bill Shorten, where have you been?
The Australian5:41PM June 10, 2018
The problem of sexual abuse of children as young as two in Aboriginal communities across the country has received widespread publicity over the last year or two. This is a healthy development, because too many of us knew of the problem and did nothing to fix it. Too many of us feared being dubbed “racist” or felt that our indigenous people should deal with the problem themselves. This conspiracy of silence simply meant that more and more children were subjected to the most vicious forms of abuse.
You would be entitled to believe that Labor leader Bill Shorten’s ears would have pricked up, particularly after the details of those horrific attacks in Tennant Creek were revealed.
Apparently one of the few people who missed all of this was the Opposition Leader. He claimed at the Barunga Festival this week that “whitefellas” who “come in paternalistic” have no business involving themselves in taking Aboriginal children away from their homes. He believes that indigenous Australians should be given “self-determination” on this issue. This is the solution which got us to where we are in the first place. Doesn’t Shorten realise that every year thousands of white or “non-Aboriginal” children are taken from their parents?
When I was Social Security Minister in 1991 I visited a group of children to whom the government was providing assistance to live away from home. I had been criticised by a number of Senators, including the highly conservative Brian Harradine, that I was destroying the concept of “family”. I was accused of keeping children away from their homes which were safe havens for them. Well-meaning the social conservatives may have been, but they were quite ignorant of the ugly world which existed away from their nice suburbs and white picket fences.
A 14-year-old girl in Melbourne had been so frequently sexually abused by her stepfather that she had run away and lived “rough” because she said that despite that lifestyle being inherently dangerous, it was far better than being raped at home on a regular basis. A 15-year-old in Sydney recounted how his mother had given him $2 when she dropped him off and told him not to come home because her new boyfriend didn’t want him around. There are plenty of happy homes but for some unfortunate kids their homes are houses of horror. How many more indigenous children will we leave in harm’s way? How many more times will the failure of State departments with responsibility for the welfare of children be hauled over the coals for failing to remove kids in danger from their home environment.

Barunga Day 1‘The most paternalistic whitefella’RACHEL BAXENDALE
Drugs and alcohol affect adults and children in both indigenous and non-indigenous communities but there is no doubt those problems are far worse in remote communities where there is zero prospect of getting a job. Some “whitefellas” will have to be involved if we are ever to bridge the gap. That gap is too often determined by health, school attendance and completion or housing. These are all extremely important issues but they pale in comparison to the right of children to be free from violence or sexual abuse.
There may well be merit in the Treaty of which the Opposition Leader is talking about but the rights of those kids must come first. We don’t complain when a child at risk is taken from a home in suburbia and we need to be consistent in applying our outrage.
Mr best advice to Bill Shorten is to stop playing up to the audience he is addressing. Bill, other audiences hear and compare notes.

Shorten may actually be trying to outflank Plibersek on the left. Let’s face it, everyone in Labor can only move further left. They have completely abandoned the working classes and the aspirational in western Sydney and Melbourne. The problem is that Malcolm et al are also trying to out-Left the Labor.
Peanut Head better get out and start working those by-elections. The clock is ticking on this Liar stooge and plenty of people are making it clear they would be quite happy to see him go.
If Shorten loses 1-2 byelections he is probably toast and will be replaced by the open borders extremist Albanese.
That’s about the size of it.
The relative productivity hypothesis.
Once it has been decided that male and wymynsys recruits to australias military are equal and interchangeable, the roles to be carried out must of necessity level away so we have true productive relativism.
Men who would otherwise be capable of deployment to hostile warzones must instead fetch and carry supplies for wymynsys led helping and saving missions to storm ravaged islands in the pacific, and fill and stack sandbags in times of flood.
Fashionable Decolonialisation theory now teaches us that third world peasant goat botherers armed with rocket propelled grenades and AK-47 peace rifles are morally relative to any freedom fighters anywhere anytime, so are literally fighting Nazis when they line up against Australian forces.
Stalinist moral relativism teaches there is no Truth, except that we must unswervingly comply with the required mass importation of millions of revolutionary freedom fighters from the far reaches of the peasant world, because our anti-western revolutionary activist masses are our strength.

After umpteen weeks of having grubs like that hiding under bushes outside his house, of camera-drones flying over his house, and every time he turns around, one of those grubs is shadowing him, his daughters have to draw their curtains, as there’s often a pack of the bastards camped at the gate, hoping for a silhouette of one of his daughters on the dunny,
It is a wonder Barnaby restricted himself to enquiring who the slug was employed by.
Contrary to what the germ alleged, Barnaby was not threatening him.
They follow the bloke everywhere, camp in a mob on his daughters’ footpath, lurk in the bushes like they’re poo-joggers looking for a secluded dump-spot, then whine like sooks about “police reports” when he challenges them.
They’re lucky he hasn’t arranged for them to have their lights punched out.
Paul Murray showing what a complete cockhead he is

Fuck Paul Murray and his faux (leftist) conservative BS
See what Irvine did there? He hid “few hundred” in plain sight.
“We’re talking about a few hundred aberrant souls in the community of half a million Muslims …”
You have to love that breezy, casual “few.”
Why is it that the other 23.5 million Australians produce zero terrorists – zero – but a tiny half million sample (Muslims) produces a few hundred? Not one or two but a few hundred.
What’s more, this illustrates perfectly the divide in our society. The elites have one idea of how our country should be while the normal man in the street thinks differently, and I use the term man deliberately just to annoy the luvvies. Even as recently as 20 years ago there was a loose consensus as to what is the norm whereas now we are diametrically opposed. The elites are now so sure of their power that they don’t think they need to consider the rest of the country. That we are not taking them to account simply confirms their assumption.

Shorten’s speech in reply to the budget has, for the past few years, been supported by a stacked public gallery which has punctuated the whole speech with raucous applause. It’s infantile.
It didn’t happen in the past, but modern Labor is little more than ugly Hollywood applauding itself.
Those who want to geld the armed forces of the West will never stop. They use emotion rather than logic, and will argue simplistically about “rules” in combat situations.
They will argue it is never Ok to target a civilian. Of course it is.
They will say it can never be the case to execute a prisoner. There are such situations where it’s necessary.
They will argue you must never shoot at wounded enemy. There are plenty of occasions where it’s imperative.
They will put lawyers more and more into the theatre, probably using drones in all sorts of situations. They will burden soldiers down with impossible rules and then court-martial them for doing what is necessary.

Harvey Ballard #MeToo hypocrite:
Comedian Tom Ballard denies sexual assault claims
POPULAR comedian and broadcaster Tom Ballard has published a statement denying claims he sexually assaulted an aspiring comedian.
A man took to social media on Saturday, alleging Ballard had indecently assaulted him in a hotel room in June 2014.
“His version of that experience as described on social media is simply not what happened. This false claim has been spread via social media, text messages and gossip. It has been deeply distressing for me, my friends and my family. It has affected my work and my mental health,” Ballard added.
The man complained to police, but he claims the investigation didn’t go further because Ballard “hadn’t gone outside of the confines of the law”.
Ballard, a former Triple J host, added: “I abhor sexual assault and sexual violence. I absolutely support the philosophy of the #MeToo movement
The biggest crime is to call him a comedian.
We need to reinstate capital punishment just for this.

Put the lawyer in command, responsible for the mission, and watch the ROE change.
Bit hard to ambush the enemy when all Australian units in a war zone have a fleet of remotely operated camera drones hovering above them so lawyers based back in inner city Australian offices can monitor all actions for infringements against moral relativism and the Will of Stalin.
Wouldn’t want to wipe your arse with leaves torn from an endangered plant species or anything.
Particularly if the lawyer is required to operate in the field, not from a base.
From my published research of a few years back:
Soldiers in close infantry combat routinely presume the enemy is dangerous unless obeying all of the rules of surrender. Some battle killing of wounded enemy is done as a precaution: the wounded soldier is still a danger. So, as Sergeant Audie Murphy relates when he shot enemy wounded after taking a position. “I step around him and examine other foxholes. Each contains a body or two. One stirs, and I give it a burst as a precaution.” Failure to ensure the dead are indeed despatched can result in capture, as two Germans who approached an apparently departed Allied officer found out in 1944 France. Feigning death, the officer was turned over by a German, who failed to ensure death or take the “corpse’s” revolver. As soon as they turned their back, the officer jumped to his feet and took them prisoner.
A German soldier came across three US paratroopers landing in D-Day. He shot one in the stomach who was on the ground, and then turned to finish the other two who were hanging in their harnesses on the side of a church: they had come down on its roof and slid off. But the trooper on the ground fished out his .45 pistol and shot the German. US infantryman Bruce Zorns was wounded in a fight against an SS unit in early 1945. He fell to the snow-covered ground and as the battle withdrew from his position he eventually saw two SS troops come forward to the wounded and dead Americans and begin bayoneting them. The two were eventually alarmed at something out of Zorn’s vision and fled before they got to him. Ironically, he was later picked up from the battlefield by two other Germans soldiers, who carried him in a wheelbarrow for some time to a field hospital.
Wounded enemy who still fight draw a variety of responses. After a battle in North Africa Major Robert Daniell and a party investigated the forward positions and found many German wounded in an anti-tank trench. They started giving them water and a medical doctor with them began tending one of them, when “I saw a Germans rise up on his feet and have a shot at him with a revolver”. The Major told the wounded they could tend to themselves, and the British withdrew.
Marine William Manchester quotes communications to the Marine Corps Commander about the Guadalcanal fighting: “General, I have never heard or read of this kind of fighting. These people refuse to surrender. The wounded will wait until men come up to examine them…and blow themselves and the other fellow to death with a hand grenade”. Just because a Japanese was badly wounded did not mean he was not a willing combatant. Marine Major Frank O. Hough described a final Japanese charge where behind the enemy forward formation followed “bandage-swathed men, amputees, men on crutches, walking wounded helping each other along. Some were armed, some carried only a bayonet lashed to a long pole or a few grenades, many had no weapons at all….The carnage was ghastly beyond belief. Some Marines on Okinawa, in their foxholes after a hard day of fighting, and ready for night attacks, heard a dragging noise out in front of them. Eventually they made out a moving form, and shot a Japanese soldier. Closer examination revealed he’d been shot in one leg previously; it was bandaged up. He’d also been wounded in an eye previously; that was bandaged too. One arm was in a sling, where he’d been carrying grenades. He was still on the attack.
These Australians are presumably going to be investigated and charged – if they’re still alive.
Australian soldiers in New Guinea in WWII found out the hard way that wounded enemy were still very dangerous. Private Bert Treschman saw Captain Geoff Swan, leading a patrol, come across a Japanese who was wounded – and then he saw the grenade the soldier was holding. Swan told his men to stand back and fired his rifle but the enemy soldier released the grenade at the same moment, badly wounding the Captain.
The Allied troops learnt quickly. Marine Henry Lopez tells of the sign in Hawaii on the jungle-training course he completed. It read: “IF THEY DON’T STINK, STICK THEM.” Australians speedily adopted an attitude of testing any enemy fallen bodies to see if they were indeed dead: “A man saw an apparently dead Jap move and shot him. Others came to life and were shot.” Private Frank Rolleston said: “…we were instructed not to take prisoners, and were to make sure that every Jap, whether wounded or apparently dead, was REALLY DEAD before we went past them.” Colonel Clement Cummings, the Commanding Officer of 2/9 Battalion, paraded his men and told them: “…there will be no wounded Japs – they will all be DEAD! You make bloody sure that they are dead too.” One just did not take chances. It became, really, quite an everyday matter. As a retired infantryman commented, without triumph: “If we came across one who was wounded we shot him… we helped them die for their Emperor”.
I remember reading that General Tommy Franks had to defer to lawyers during the Iraq war which may be the reason why it is still not over.
Each grunt must be allocated a Dept of Defence lawyer, who must never be more than 5 metres from the grunt.
If for some reason the lawyer is more than 5 metres from the grunt, nothing the grunt does can be a “war crime”.
Works for me.
You know where this is heading – build an army of robots or drones, let a fourteen year old boy run them and tell him it’s a game.
If a lawyer is shot by “his” grunt, it isn’t a war crime, provided the grunt does it from a distance of greater than 5 metres.
Any soldier who has his lawyer more than 5 metres away, is then with impunity able to shoot the lawyer of any of his comrades.
Y’know what, there’s a lot to be said for this “lawyers in the field” suggestion.
This has been going on ever since he announced he would stand for New England. Tony Windsor, “Lock the Gates”, Greens being bussed up here to harass him….join the dots. Labor sitting in the shadows.
No one talks of Eddie Obeid anymore. Nor Richard Torbay. Just Barney having a legal (and immoral) shag.
It’s not coincidence. Started very early. If the same scrutiny were placed on most other politicians, it would be a scandal.
I’m imagining the deals done with the enemy. “Nothing personal – in the next contact, we’ll be shooting to miss, if you get the bloke standing up, carrying the briefcase…”
So now it is confirmed beyond all doubt. The ADF is out to destroy Special Forces in general and the SAS in particular.
It is critical to destroy the seeds from which something decent might be rebuilt.
Silent of course. Molan was well above the rank of Lt Colonel, so he would be on the side of “due process”. Even Andrew Hastie has been cowed into accepting the witch hunt as legitimate rather than calling it the stitch-up it is.

Exactly. But our politicians are not very smart if they can’t work out that the media will get them while hiding the Labor peccadillos. Jim Cairns and Junie Morosi was the last time the media were unbiased. John Hewson did not get away with it nor did Sneddon while Bob Hawke got to ditch Hazel for Blanche to little protest from the media. Even Paul Keating got rid of Annita without suffering any repercussions.
It’s not fair but that’s how it is.
I had a cigarette out the front of the town hall with Barneys daughter on Miss A’s year 12 graduation night. He was paranoid as all shit. Even back then, almost 3 years ago.
He half joked I might be from the “Green/Labor” bus they had sent up to find dirt. Even the black suit and the blue tie didn’t persuade him. Guilty conscience perhaps? Maybe.
Seemed to me like a bloke who was under immense pressure, rather than anything else.
It’s very difficult to fight the media and the prime minister.

At this Portland Bakery, White Guilt Poisons the Batter
Last month, however, the business’s overzealous politics cost two young employees their jobs at the Alberta Street location after a local activist released a video complaining that she had been denied service for being black. In the wake of the Starbucks scandal in Philadelphia, in which two black men were arrested after refusing a buy-or-leave request from staff, the bakery owners summarily fired their two female staffers in the hope that doing so would appease the gathering social justice mob. The panic provoked by accusations of racism led the bakery’s management to issue a series of contradictory and clumsy statements. From the shadows, power-hungry community activists readied their arrows.

Barnaby Not-a-Polly Joyce. Yawn. We’ve been here before many times over recent months.
He brought it all on himself. Covered up the affair from at least as early as August 2016. Spouted sanctimonious bullshit about SSM vs the sanctity of marriage while he was having an extra-marital affair. Covered up the affair and the breakdown of his marriage from the voters in his electorate during the by-election. Provided his mistress with well-paid government jobs to keep her out of the limelight. Knocked back FOI requests from the Telegraph for months, then cried foul when they went public with a photo and story about his affair and deception. Went very public himself in a well-paid “tell as little as possible while saying bad things about other people” interview. Now trying to stay in the seat of New England when his own Party can’t stand the smell of him. And complains that a lone paparazzi has been tagging along for photo ops? Seriously?
It’s time he accepted that he has ended his own political career. The Nats will confirm that for him when they disendorse him and give someone else a chance in New England well before the coming federal election.

The article mentioned above https://bit.ly/2HzXwSX
Indeed they did back in the day TE. Of course in those days they were backed by their leaders. Those were the days when the military knew how to fight and win and did everything possible to ensure victory. Back in those more enlightened times, lawyers were left at home and not deployed until victory had been achieved. Then – brace yourself for this novel idea – they were deployed to prosecute the enemy!
Not any more. In these days of ‘exit strategies’, victory is not even a consideration. The idea is to ‘fight’ by, self-imposed, self-defeating rules while allowing the enemy to disregard those rules. Millions of dollars of resources and a large number of personnel have been employed to ensure no infractions of these rules occurs. From our troops that is, not the enemy.
A huge amount of then legitimate weapons used by troops in WW2 are now banned. Mines are a good example. Banned for our troops but when used by the Taliban, they are responsible for the majority of Australian battle deaths in Afghanistan.
Lawyers deploy with all units, advise on operations and even have to approve military plans. However if there is a suspect ‘incident’ on operations then another team of lawyers and investigators deploys from Australia to spend weeks ‘investigating’ any and all alleged infractions. If the suspect incident is deemed serious enough the investigation lasts years e.g. the stupid and pointless ‘cutting off hands” investigation took over four years.
Of course it is a ‘rule’ that our troops have to fight in uniform. This rule is to protect civilians, because if soldiers fight out of uniform then it is difficult to differentiate civilians from soldiers, thus leading to civilian deaths. Back in the day, if an enemy was caught in civilian clothes he was -quite rightly – treated as a spy. The penalty was death.
In Afghanistan the fighting in uniform rule is strictly enforced for our troops, however the Taliban never wear uniform. Nevertheless, if a ‘civilian’ dies in a firefight guess who the ADF investigate? Our troops of course. In fact the ADF have never prosecuted or investigated any Taliban for any war crime, yet have spent millions of dollars and wasted years investigating our troops for the smallest infractions that would not even have been considered wrong last century.
Australia asks these soldiers to do a job with one hand tied behind their backs, while at the same time champing at the bit to prosecute them for any alleged infraction of the stupid rules they have imposed on them. The recent and current ADF leadership have a lot to answer for.
I agree Barnaby had every right to confront that fat grub. He had amazing self control. I would have decked him.

I suspect there is something at a meta-political level going on in relation to the SAS.
There are two parts to that.
First, it looks to me like an orchestrated act of appeasement/contrition to impress Muslims.
‘We killed lots of your bros, maybe we went too far; sorry. Here’s some commandos in reparation.’
Irvine being resurrected certainly points to that. He made PR crawling to Islam a signature policy.
Second: the SAS is a masculine redoubt in what is now an oestrogen-drenched pansy army.
There is deep-seated resentment of commandos in the ADF because they are actual soldiers.
The lesbian advisers now running things at the ADF want these warriors ritually humiliated.
Also: if the SAS is determinedly wrecked – as the Army has been – deployments to wars will become impossible. This is the ultimate goal of leftists.
Any Cat that didn’t get banned from “Table Talk” within three posts were being much too subtle. I understand the art of “trolling”, but that arsehole and his leftist followers would make your skin crawl.

That is now on turbo charged after the fat one became Defence Minister. If you want to know just how precious these feminazis are just call the Defence Minister fat. And then they want to tell us that can serve on the front line.
Joyce may be a hypocrite (he is as we all are), but he is not a hypocrite for opposing SSM while cheating on his wife.
He would be a hypocrite if he were banging on about the sanctity of marriage while cheating on his wife. Wrt the SSM debate, I don’t recall him taking this position (and why would he? It would be irrelevant). A married man can be a complete dog to his wife and still oppose SSM – that’s a consistent position. Hell, he could be screwing other guys and it’d still be a consistent position as long as he isn’t proposing to marry one of them in spite of his objection to SSM.
The SAS has a very powerful card to play – it is the only strategic military asset we control that our allies genuinely value and can make use of. There could be a whole lot of hubbub about the ‘toxic SAS’ and whatnot that might publicly bubble on for a while… until a phonecall by someone in their deep state is made to someone in our deep state and the move against the SAS is quickly and quietly stifled.
Sorry, you have no idea concerning what you are talking about.

Not to mention the Adonis face planting and the other massive face plant suggesting I was expertly posting comments elsewhere about American anglicism. What a dickhead.
Well that’s weird. But that’s never stopped old MK50 before.
It may well be time to relitigate the Mk50 plagiarism scandal!
In memory of Danny Kirwan, formerly of Fleetwood Mac. In my opinion, this is the ultimate Sunday night piece of music; the end of the day, a few drinks, feeling righteously tired and readying for tomorrow. Reminds me of my youth, when I would spend all day every Sunday helping Dad pound and smash limestone rocks out of our house block — mattock and 16lb sledge. By dinner, now showered and changed and feeling pleasantly exhausted, this said it all for me.
Ronery and Serena swore black and blue it wasn’t true … that he didn’t plagiarize. Just sad.
I think so, too, now that he’s here. Because MK50/Marcus Classis never conceded wrongdoing despite the embarrassingly numerous similarities between the American Thinker article and what MK50/Marcus Classis posted here, as his own work, a few days after the AT article went public. It would seem to be an open-and-shut case of plagiarism. Perhaps MK50/Marcus Classis would like to respond.
Geez you’re wheeling out the brains trust there. Emphasis on ‘wheeling out’.
Trump vs. Trudeau. Place your bets.
Hmm, JC & OCO lose their shit again, at one simple comment.
Wonder why that would be?
Would this be the same Trudeau who was going to “tell Trump this” & “tell Trump that” & “stand up to Trump” & so on?
His pre-meeting talk is not consistent with his body language.
Ummm maybe because we both think you’re a cockhead?
That would be a textbook case of the pot calling the electric jug black, wouldn’t it?
So you admit you are a cockhead? Good. I agree with you.
What a voice. Simple, heartfelt lyrics. Sadly, she has Parkinsons. Listen to the voice break right at the end. Brilliant.
The song I should play to my wife every week … but I never have.
I know it’s redundant, but don’t be silly. No one is “losing their shit again”, you thundering thicko.
Why did you deny his plagiarism, Drillsie? More to the point how could you deny it? Even more, just how low can you go?
Run it through here – a plagiarism checker.
What’s interesting is that if you run all his threads, I recall that all of them were described as highly likely to have been lifted.
