Fair Work Australia is a complete dud that froze job creation last year and has produced a new equilibrium for unemployment 1 per cent higher than before 2007.

If my mother read what I post here at the Cat, it would send her to an early grave.
Germany to consider ‘educational state-funded feminist p0rn0graphy’ to combat s3xist stereotypes
Germany is considering making state-funded feminist p0rn and broadcasting it to the public to combat s3xist stereotypes.
The material, which would include ‘fat, skinny, young and old people’ will be available on the websites of public broadcasters ARD and ZDF, if the idea goes ahead.
In the proposal, the SPD wrote: ‘Mainstream p0rn generally shows s3xist and racial stereotypes in which consent is not a theme and certain “optimal” body types are made as standard.’
‘In these films, s3x seems more like a performance or competitive sport: everything seems to work right away, there is no communication between the performers, no trying out, failure and trying out new things.’
According to the SPD, it influences modern society in a negative way as youths have ‘unrealistic imaginations of s3xual life’.
Makka, you really have been swayed. Systemic conniving or fuckup ? I say fuckup.
Bishops had no understanding. Peter Hollingworth didn’t and lost his job. No one did. Cops swept it under the carpet like everyone else. Our local RSL President got away with it. So did Sir William Slim.
It didn’t take a powerful conspiracy; it was ignorance, and the Catholic bishops were like everyone else back then.
but I don’t think the cover up was as intentionally evil as people suggest.
Well I disagree. In so many cases the cover up was for the purpose of avoiding exposure and not just those about to be caught. I mean bigger rats in the nest. In other words, those facilitating cover ups were facilitating the evil to continue just to protect themselves. Sacrificing kids innocence and their lives to keep some deviant creep from going down. We are talking about the trusted clergy, although certainly by no means all.
Talking down this level of betrayal does no good at all IMO.
Handy Hint 1.
Accusation; institutional racism.
Rebuttal; yeah, nah, I quite like white people.
When the ABC first started getting adventurous with porn after 10pm with warnings, many years ago, it was all German.
And we Australians have to put up with some arzhole prick that thinks he looks after Australia’s security!
Gad I hope the blokes I met understand how xucked we are with shithead politicians.
!33Billion for useless French submarines!
I want to smack the living daylights out of some shithead so called ADF and leave them bleeding on the floor of the fuckhead PM’s office.
Systemic conniving or fuckup ? I say fuckup.
It went on for fking decades , max. Evil like this didn’t thrive within the Church because it just happened without direction and collusion.
Stop being such a naive cheerleader.
So let me get this right.
Germany is going to make porn that only sick freaks would watch.
What’s new?
What if attacking the Church pisses off the big guy at the pearly gate?
What a load of sh$t.
Unlike everyone else here, I have actually communicated with Jesus.*
And Buddha. **
Trust me, a lot of people will be very suprised when they die.
😁
*There is an incredibly slim incredibly unlikely possibility it may just have been mental illness.
**This also.
Sure, that’s how it turned out, but I really don’t think it was the intention at the beginning.
Hawking had a kid.
WTF, how?
‘Thanks, but I was interested in the remuneration of the Tribunal members themselves.
12 Fees and allowances’
John, the short answer is – I don’t know.
The Tribunal Act states:
‘ A member and any person appointed under subsection 11(2) to assist the Tribunal shall be paid such fees and allowances as are prescribed.’
but I can’t yet find any reference to the Tribunal in the Determination that sets the salary and allowances for part – time office holders, which the three Tribunal members are.
I’ll look in more detail tomorrow.
Makka, you really have been swayed.
I’m steady but it’s healthy to have doubts in this regard. Considering the horrors that have gone on.

I will jam a tree up the arse and the xunt of any foul communist that set out to destroy churches.
Why not blow the brains out of muslims when you see and hear their destruction of their own people let alone us.
Erdogan is challenging the bitter crap of muslim against The Cross!
How the fuck does that happen?
He never ever rests.
I need Dragon Energy.
Correction. He had three kids. WTF! How is that possible.
He’s toying with us.
Tomorrow he will announce that he can turn seawater into gasoline.
He will turn Obama’s rising sea levels into free fuel.
Unless you have signed secrecy agreements to at least the third level, then who cares!
Well, I could explain it, but it’s not that sort of blog.
He’s like me, or I’m like him. Morning and I’m really grumpy. I always wake up grumpy. He shouldn’t tweet in the morning, as he’s always angry about something.
Turkish Erdogan is a POOFTA
He reminds me of the shithead that is a dummy.
Hawkings gonads were perfectly alright JC, it was the rest of his body that let him down.
Makka, it didn’t thrive.
It was almost unheard of outside the 70s and 80s. Did you read the statistics ?
Does useless UNaustralia support Austria?
Does useless UNaustralia support Austria against the MAD Turkish Mulla Erdogan?
Australia captured Gaza and kicked the Turks out.
I’m moving into Gaza and shove the arrogant fuckwit Jordanians out the door.
As a young bloke in the late eighties I met an aboriginal musician after he played his gig in a blues band at Settlers. Very nice bloke that I was stoked to chat to. The point is that after a short time he mentioned the term “stolen generation” and asked if I’d heard of that, which I hadn’t.
So he then said something like “you’re going to hear about it and let me tell you that the story you will hear will be wrong. They say we were stolen and I was “stolen” but I was from a place that hadn’t been good and then was at a great home with loving family and so much choice and am so happy this all happened”.
Hopefully he still feels the same way cause he was quite passionate. I did actually end up hearing the term again to my surprise but twenty years later.
Considering that you seem to spend the majority of your time abusing total strangers on this site, I’m hardly surprised you wake up, grumpy, in the mornings. Lift your game, it’s not difficult.

With logic like that I can see the apology going down the gurgler.
Sometime tomorrow, US Department of Justice inspector general Michael Horowitz will report on the FBI and DOJ handling of the investigation of Hillary Clinton in the run-up to the 2016 election.
The FBI and DoJ investigated Hillary Clinton’s misuse of a private server and reckless use of classified material when she was Secretary of State.
Will Horowitz describe the investigators as “grossly negligent” to an extent consistent with the statutory requirement for criminal intent?
Or will he merely criticise them for being “extremely careless in their handling of a very sensitive, highly classified investigation” and express his view that, except for Comey and McCabe, no charges are appropriate?
Why do I have a feeling that history might be repeating on itself?
Our ABC (fully funded by the Australian Government) meddled in the US elections via social media. Plenty of proof of that across our $1 billion Government funded media platforms. They uniformly mocked Trump. Hell, Australia was the biggest international donor to the Clinton Foundation. The Labor Party have already been fined in a US Court for interfering via providing staff directly to the HRC campaign. You also have Alexander Downer in the mix.
As someone pointed out earlier, you then get down to all these Australian Government funded leftist groups like “Get Up” who actively campaigned for Hillary. There would be a pretty long list.
And yet, the CIA/FBI are hunting down the Russians, whilst all the evidence points to a dossier that came straight from the DNC.
A simple observation. I can’t recall an American President (Republican or Democrat) display such a “cold shoulder” towards Australia as the Trump administration has. I suspect it’s for good reason.
It went on for fking decades , max. Evil like this didn’t thrive within the Church because it just happened without direction and collusion.
No, but not the direction and collusion you might be thinking of. The Church appears to have become a target during the 70’s and 80’s by perverted weirdos, the method of attack was infiltration.
Get exclusive access to what your perverted mind wants, whilst simultaneously destroying the last bastion against what your perverted mind wants.
My wife actually admitted to someone the other day, “Sometimes I wake up Grumpy … but usually I let him sleep in”.
To which I responded, “Well, you usually wake up in the morning feeling dopey and sleepy. Are you Snow White?”
max, you are quoting and commenting from an article by a shrink. A lot of it seems to be in defense of queers in and out of the priesthood. I’m not buying the equivalency of a homo priest protected by a powerful organisation in a position of high community trust and a homo individual when it comes to child abuse.
From your article;
The Church allows queers to gather in the preisthood in very large numbers, boys represent 80% of those m0lested.
No problem here folks.
Thanks rickw
The filthy poofta lezbian communists have been after ALL western institutions and foremost the Catholic Church because they faught the filth.
And yes the communist filth placed filthy poofta jack it up your arse scum in positions to be priests and nuns of all religions and Western beliefs.
hey max
you on the merkle side?
are you east german or west german?
The Church appears to have become a target during the 70’s and 80’s by perverted weirdos, the method of attack was infiltration.
The Church was naive? It’s been around for a while so I find that hard to believe but sure there could have been some element of that.
Another contributing factor might well have been p edo clergy in high powerful places opening doors for their mates to enter and swell their numbers.
hey max
everyone says about free trade.
will you wipe out the farquing eu?
How badly will it be redacted and will Trump issue an EO to get the full report public? These are my questions Leo.
Hhmmmmmm…
..so this ‘high profile female journalist’ managed to scoop other news agencies with exposes about ‘Trump-Russia collusion’ because she was sleeping with the source of the leaks from the Senate Intelligence Committee, James Wolfe….
Amazon Gives In To Muslim Empolyee Ramadan Demands
Amazon has given in to demands from Muslim employees who requested various perks and work changes during Ramadan, which also coincides with Amazon’s biggest sale of the year.
According to Bloomberg, the fact that Ramadan was at the same time as Amazon Prime Day this year was “creating tension” among employees in “Minnesota’s Twin Cities region, where activists say Amazon.com Inc. employs more than 1,000 East African Muslim immigrants at four warehouses.”
Employees and other activists protested at the Eagan, Minnesota, delivery center, where they chanted in Somali and handed Amazon management a list of demands for Ramadan, which reportedly included a “call to curb their heavy workloads while they’re fasting and to let them take time off without penalty for Eid, the festival that ends Ramadan.”
Amazon announced that they would provide prayer rooms for employees at work and “would ease up on employees’ quotas for the duration of the fast.”
…In a statement, employee Aaisha Jama declared, “That showed us that we are very powerful,” while employee Abdirahman Ali added, “We don’t want to pick between our wages and our faith.”
hey max
you dirty filthy belgium/german prick.
Do you know what happened to Australian trade when the pommie filth joined the nascent EU?
I personally would bomb the fuck out of england and belgium and switzerland.
Dirty arzeholes the lot of you.
There have been three stabbings in broad daylight and seven arrests in dawn raids on an organised drug-trafficking gang in one 24-hour period in Sadiq Khan’s London.
Trump has said that Bezos will pay the proper amount and the American taxpayers are not going to subsidize Amazon through the Post.
Makka, homosexuals are not considered suitable for ordination in the Catholic church.
In Australia, this is thanks to Cardinal Pell.
Your a piece of communist filth max.
Are you a poofta?
max the homo who will teach children.
max
do you think that a husband and wife should be allowed to join their income for taxation purposes.
Yes or No?
I personally think that Costello and Howard were a pair of bastards.
What do you think max?
hey max
costello created an Australian Sovereign Fund which only looks after fucking useless APS folk like Ken Henry.
But Peter Costello got to be a director.
How good is that.
Lot’s of folk want Peter Cosstello back in the former liberal party.
Sure.
Come back pete.
rip us off some more you scum.
Howard confiscating guns was worse, OWG.
And little Johny Howard,
Who changed the law to protect his brother!
Fuck you Abbott. You reckon you can fight.
I will smack your fuckin head in.
The little despicable xunt was wearing bullet proof vests.
The fuckhead didn’t know that real shooters would have put a bullet through his eyes.
What I want to know is how come fuckheads can attack some older folk outside Perth and they can kill the bastards but no one in the east can do that without being arrested.
Interpretations galore.

Hopefully Trump will just drive some rockets into the shithead.
And like I said,
Australia kicked the Turkish xunts out of Gaza and I think we should take it over and fuck the usurpers into Jordan where they belong.
hey unfoul shit unBishop.
Tell the Un we are taking over Gaza which we won.
and tell the foul poms to fuck off this time.
the poms did the filth in Israel so I am not surprised they have filth in return.
pommy police in England are about the same as they were in Israel.
Pack of lieing xunts.
Wats that.. you think not ay.
I have met some of your xunts that went to Northern Island, shot people then run to Australia.
I have seen what you pommy copper xunts do to English folk that protest being overrun by muslim bashers.
When your cities burn to the ground I will be waiting along side Julia Burnside and kick you xunts fair in the guts.
Someone in comments on the European refugee problem between Italy and the EU said to google Kalergi — bit scary to do that given what is happening in Europe. The European Union is an evil cabal of statists. It is truly the State against the people.
The SA Liberals can’t change shopping hours but they can destroy the Catholic Church apparently
Gay marriage and now this! Meanwhile aboriginal kids, Muslim girls and the children of artists, writers and poets are abused to this day.
And we wonder why children are not learning to read at the same rates as even 50 years ago. Get a load of this semi-literate pronouncement by one of our leading academics:
This literacy ‘expert’ doesn’t know that the term he is groping for is silver bullet. What’s more, panacea has a very different meaning from silver bullet – in fact, it’s almost the opposite.
Not surprisingly, he regards phonics as a relatively minor strand in the weave of literacy, not wanting to throw his fellow academics who have presided over the degeneration of teaching it for decades.
It never ceases to amaze me just how mediocre most academics are, even in their own field. Most Cats and kittehs would run rings around them in terms of literacy, not to mention both general and specialised knowledge.
If only it were true but I can’t find anything in the news about it.
‘under the bus’ went missing from the above somehow. But, at least I noticed it! 🙂
I find it amazing the Liberal Party has led the way in putting into law Labor’s wish to destroy the Catholic church.
Well actually, on reflection I shouldn’t be too amazed.
I think the reverse would have happened.
More people would have gone back to a catholic service to support the church under this socialist attack.
Unfortunately the socialist/Marxist pope will hold them back.
The Socialist Republic of Malstraya will be taking their opportunity to stick the boot in under this pope.
The NT News gets stuck into Turnbull:
The front page has a giant photo and headline:
It’s been four months since the rape of a two-year-old girl sparked a national crisis and nine months since he set foot inside the Territory. This missing-in-action Prime Minister for the East Coast has shown he …SIMPLY DOES NOT CARE
and then inside:
PRIME Minister Malcolm Turnbull — who has not set foot in the NT for 278 days — has finally addressed the rape of a two-year-old girl in Tennant Creek which happened four months ago.
Mr Turnbull was last in the NT in September, when he attended the CLP conference in Darwin. He did not take part in any engagements other than party-affiliated events.
He did not visit in the aftermath of Cyclone Marcus, the worst to hit Darwin since Tracy in 1974.
His office didn’t respond to questions put to him by the NT News as to when he would next be in the NT. Questions about the Commonwealth’s contribution to the NT’s child abuse crisis also went unanswered.
But at a press conference in Canberra to outline his Government’s response to the child sex abuse royal commission, Mr Turnbull addressed the rape publicly for the first time. He put the blame on the NT Government.
“I have discussed this issue with the Chief Minister. Clearly they have not done enough to stop what has already occurred,” he said.
The girl and her family were subject to 52 notifications to child protection authorities in the 16 years leading up to the rape, but the girl remained in the care of her mother.
Mr Turnbull said the safety of children must always come first.
“Any abuse of children in any context, in a family or in an institution is unacceptable, absolutely unacceptable,” he said. “We are certainly supporting the investigation of this. It’s a law enforcement issue, a children’s protection issue within the jurisdiction of the NT Government.”
Chief Minister Michael Gunner said his Government took responsibility for the fact the child was allowed to remain in a dangerous situation, but pointed out the Prime Minister had not made a financial contribution to the royal commission into youth justice he called.
Mr Turnbull was pressed on the issue of the child removal rates for indigenous children and whether too many or too few children were being removed.
“The safety of children has to be paramount,” he said. “Some children are in unsafe conditions, of course they are. The safety of children must always be put in the forefront.
“That’s the duty of parents, of family and the duty of neighbours. If you believe a child is being abused, don’t turn a blind eye.”
The Prime Minister’s comments came just days after Opposition Leader Bill Shorten said too many Aboriginal children were being removed from their families, and urged greater engagement with Aboriginal people to fix the NT’s child protection issues.
“The last thing they need is some know-it-all whitefella to come in paternalistic, as has been happening for 200 years and say, ‘listen you’re just children and we’ll just fix it all for you’,” Mr Shorten said.
“Clearly they have not done enough to stop what has already occurred”
In my experience , those absolutely incompetent with dealing with the outside world, who are confused and simply idiotic when it comes to common sense and day to day life, have “Prof” before their name.
In the tourism game, we all used to look down our manifests before a tour, and roll our eyes and shake our heads if we saw that on the list.
Unfortunately, that was born from experience.
You do get cynical.
We used to have Christmas “Nuff nuff” tours.
Relatives would send their old uncles and slobbering inbred relatives away over Christmas to do a camping/4wd (no A/C in those days) trek through the 40 degree desert to keep them from the Christmas table and , well, if they died while out there, the will would be a good chrissy present for them.
I’d rather do those tours than take a couple of professors away.
Studies done by tour operators have concluded that 95% of all “Prof”s are raging simpletons.
Our fine doomlord, of course, in the 5% ……………………………..
I think this is what OWG was referring to, Gab.
The rogue may be faking mental illness to avoid trial and this is a pretty lame attempt.

Topo Gigio – Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head
1960s
Topo Gigio – Strangers In The Night
In grade 12 the second semester test is a five monologue or 10 minute dialogue. My son is doing it on bankers. A kid with developmental and social issues has no chance. And then since when has the English subject been speech and drama? Seems to me the literary canon has been thrown out in favour of the feelz.
As for the curriculum as a whole, academics are busy elevating alienated, damn ordinary dreck like ‘The Outsiders’ and ‘The one day of the year’ in a destructive attempt to remake society in their image, rather than an understanding of how society *was* shaped through its literature.
This was the first item in the 8 am news just now on their ABC. Un-bloody-believable.
http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-06-14/photo-shows-nazi-flag-flown-over-australian-army-vehicle/9859618
I believe there’s another report doing the rounds on the western ice sheet of Antarctica melting, possibly these days with gay abandon, but certainly as determinedly as a rainbow lobbyist. These reports, taken up with all haste by public broadcasters the world over, have about the same legitimacy as all those “hottest year evah” ones that get a run on the ABC with monotonous regularity.
A 2007 incident of silliness by a trooper 11 years ago….
In the Dark Ages when I was in high school, the English curriculum was split into four parts – English, Novel, Poetry and Drama. The last three involved the study of texts (the degree of difficulty graded according to class), usually three a year to correspond with terms. English – grammar, essays, critical evaluation of advertising and media, composition, debating and a little bit of the history of the language.
No performances (except the debates which could be very entertaining).
Reflecting on the breadth and depth of the work, I suppose it would now be considered university level.
Wot?
Like it was in the past?
Remember, Curtin Department of English is the parallel university that gave Anne Aly a professorate in deconstructing narratives presented her as a “Counter-Terrorism Expert”.
From the ABC story: Chief of Army Angus Campbell earlier this year appeared to take steps toward culture change, ordering a ban on soldiers’ use of “death-style” imagery, such as Spartan warriors, the grim reaper, skull and crossbones and the “Punisher” vigilante character.
The US Navy has VFA-101 “Grim Reapers”, VFA-151 “Vigilantes” and VFA-103 “Jolly Rogers”. I bet *they* don’t change their names.
The last three involved the study of texts
The most dreaded section on the old exam paper was the ‘Context Question.’ From the studied plays, texts and poems, there would be random extracts. One had to identify its origin, who said it, when and where, and its import on the work overall. Very brain hurty.
Yes, it’ll get boatloads of lefties stuck in it like last time.
If the vile abc is focusing on the Western Antarctic Peninsula, the WAP, to justify their hysteria for rising sea levels they are being stupid for 2 reasons. Firstly the WAP is underpinned by volcanoes; secondly, most of the WAP, like all of the rest of the Antarctic, actually floats on water already; it’s melt, which is historically not exceptional, won’t raise water levels but will actually decrease water level.
I don’t suppose the abc report mentioned that?

Why observe with your eyes when you can feel in your heart?.
Mind you, if it’d been the hammer and sickle the ABC wouldn’t bat an eye.
It might be useful to be aware of the future, but that’s something of a godlike power, don’t you think?

2GB sound bite: MT is unhappy.
Well it’s not the first time Australian soilders have displayed a swastika flag.
Circa 1942, Libya.

The reality:
Trump is President.
The Inspector-General, Michael Horowitz’s report is due today DC time.
Key NeverTrumpers in the FBI and DOJ are singing.
Today is Trump’s birthday.
Soldiers even
You would have to be a fuckwit of the first order, indeed, to make your vehicle so conspicuous, every Talib for miles around would have seen it.
Mr President, I’ve had too much winning. Please make it stop. I don’t thing I can handle any more winning. Please, I’m begging you.
Soldiers have a close relationship with the soil, manifest in their affection for it when the SHTF.
Wow. Did I just type that? Trump was right again. Spooky.
Proud members of the 2/2nd Australian Machine Gun Battalion, in Sydney during 1943.
Can Trump issue Cohen with a stay out of jail card? Or does he have to wait until Cohen is charged, found guilty of a trumped up charge and then pardoned? Or will mueller simply charge him so that he can have it hanging over Cohen for years? Another simple question: I know most people named Cohen are of Jewish extraction and most people named mueller are of German extraction. Does that have any bearing on the persecution of Cohen?

It’s so bizarre. The Left, when they are not metoo-ing, are sleeping their way to the top, or taking advantage of those who will, just like the good old days.
In fairness to the unfunny male ‘comedian’ from the ABC who is the latest to be dragged through the mud, I read an account by his accuser (sorry, can’t remember where) and it has echoes of many of the female accusers. He admits that he didn’t actually say no, or resist. When he went to the cops, they very reasonably said that if he didn’t say no or resist, he had no case. But he still feels aggrieved, and now he is getting his revenge.
It reminds me of another case I read about recently, where a wannabe starlet who never made it complained about the casting couch and some Hollywood big shot. She freely admits that she went back to his place and his hotel again and again voluntarily, and it wasn’t because he looked like Brad Pitt. She wanted to trade. It didn’t work out, so now she is claiming to have been abused and exploited.
The metoo-ers and their ilk debase the currency for people who have genuinely been abused and assaulted.
I love the Trump insults:
Low IQ individual;
Low energy individual.
I’d like to use them, but I wouldn’t do the insults or Trump justice.
Baldrick, trophies of war are hardly comparable.
The traitor who desecrated the memories of our Diggers (and six million J-ws) by flying that swastika in Afghanistan should have been shot.
Re the Ali Watkins T&A for play scandal, this is harsh but accurate.
Caption of the day.
That photo is so stupid it has to be doctored.
“We don’t want to pick between our wages and our faith.”
Er, I think you just have, dumbarse. FMD…
The photo with the swastika flag seems to me to have been photoshopped. The colour of the flag appears to be way too rich (bright) when compared to the remainder of the photo.
Could it be possible she took the opportunity to have her evil way with him?🤔
Lady came up with an idea and now she’s bringing in the cash … Great job.

Kind of what Malcolm Turnbull did to the Liberal Party.
Don’t fall for Leftard hand-wringing C.L. It’s really not that big a deal.
Some guy thought it amusing. It wasn’t. Get over it.
I’m calling fake. Two defence sources may have identified the soldier who took the flag, but I just can’t believe that anyone would make his vehicle so conspicuous, and I cant’ think of any surer method of drawing fire in a contact. And, yes I am aware that soldiers do have a pretty warped sense of humour sometimes, but I don’t see anyone going quite so low.
Yep. Very ‘you’re fired’.
An supreme response to the sniveling little de Niro and his NK-style standing ovation.

I think this is what OWG was referring to, Gab.
The rogue may be faking mental illness to avoid trial and this is a pretty lame attempt.
If he is too mentally ill to face trial, then he remains a danger to the public, and should be confined in a secure mental facility at Her Majesty’s pleasure.
Are de Niro and F.A.G. attacking Trump?
The ABC, via The Conversation:
The Health Nazis at it again.
How does that work?
The “current leading methods” are not bad but they are far from perfect. And (from memory), a far proportion of CVD risk is based on sex, age and height, none of which (obviously) you can do much about.
The algorithm is not good enough to use in a clinical setting but the bozo wants to put it in a shopping trolley?
How would you feel if the ADF flew the ISIS flag?
Isn’t that war over?
Is there a certain mindset that needs “Laws of Nature”?
We can’t have too much chaos about?
Best case the ADF chap was a dick.
Worst case the ADF chap was a Nazi fan.
In either case, his mates giving him a slap up the head would have been suffice.
End of story.
PS, who took the photo?
Who needs enemies when you have mates like that.
Seems like some ex ADF, SASR people have some real shit on the liver from their time spent there.
Speaking of blasts from the past, I’m more concerned about @rseholes desecrating our forefathers’ statues.
I think Ronery’s right this one time, the flag looks Photoshopped. The redness of the flag – the color- is too bright in comparison to the other colors in the pic.
Hold on a minute, you guys. I agree that the swastika stands out and it may have had an outline photoshopped for emphasis. But look at the dates and the places of those shots. Aren’t we looking at these pics through ‘politically correct’ eyes? 1941 and 1943 ffs. What soldier on the ground even knew about concentration camps then? Such things were part of what they were fighting against, but hardly top of mind, if there at all. These brave soldiers had just been to hell and back in various real and bloody battles against the Nazis. The flags here are not triumphs about what the Nazi’s stood for, they are symbols of conquest over those fighting for the Nazi program. Soldiers have always wanted to signal their successes – from tearing down flags off the Reischstag to holding up the flags of captured enemies to say gotcha.
Remember the outrage from the ABC when it was revealed that Andrew Wilkie made junior cadets at Duntroon salute Hitler on the 50th anniversary of Hitler’s rise to power in Nazi Germany with a Nazi salute?
No, neither do I.
If the photo is genuine, should imagine he’d also find himself top of his platoon sergeant’s shit list for some time, but yeah, “who needs enemies when you’ve got mates like that.”
Photoshopping can be identified. The ABC would have checked before publishing the photo as genuine. Surely?
The intention in the pics of the WW2 pics was hugely different. Holding up those flags was meant to portray victory over the enemy – as in they captured their flag. Hugely different.
The Afghan wat pic is a fake and wouldn’t be surprised in the least if the pic was touched up in the ABC studio.
And how convenient, the fake pic shows up after talk of the inquiry to make the SAS into a feminized organization.
Is Harry locked up in a POW camp?
Yea and exactly how much investigating did they do when they tried to fuck over the Australian navy with the accusations personnel deliberately burned the hands of those refs making the claims?
The ABC is the most dishonest organization in the country.
Take a look at the pic again snoop. The flag’s color is way too bright to the rest of the coloration in the pic. It’s fake.
Just scrolled up to the 2012 pic in Afghanistan. It’s probably factual, did fly for a while, and was taken down when commanders saw it. To me it simply says the army needs to train its men better in history and less in gender, so that they can see symbols in time depth, not just as something oppositional and symbolizing a heavy hand about to fall. Don’t forget the young Prince Harry also displayed a swastika armband as a fancy dress.
No big deal in either case and the powers-that-be acted in both cases to point out the mistake to the users.
ABC making up a story? I am shocked!
Why isn’t the flag of the Soviet Union regarded with the same distaste as the Nazi flag?
Exactly, the way it’s always been done. We don’t need any morality lessons of faux outrage from Leftards.

Going to be some interesting minority voting numbers this fall, and in 2020 of course.
Who says it isn’t? There is a difference though. Allies fought a hot war against the Krauts, whereas the only people killed in the cold war were a couple of Brits in the movie , Atomic Blonde.
Atomic Blonde.
One of the best movies of the year.
That & the two John Wick movies are the best action movies in years.
I agree it may have been enhanced for emphasis to beat up a story. They do that.
Just like real estate agents always photoshop a blue sky and water into house pics views these days.
It’s illegal to show what isn’t there, but you can’t prove the weather the time the shot was taken, and it heightens the impact. Same same with the swastika shot.
Sorry, JC I didn’t take into account you don’t get sarcasm. ☺️
Good. Not on my list then.
were a few million Ukrainians and millions sent to the gulags.
Sorry, just had to say that. Lest we forget.
That’s because you’re not very sarcastic.
It was okay, but the minute a woman is fighting 3 tough blokes and kills them in hand to hand… the pic has lost me.
Wasn’t the director or producer Harvey’ed?
Dunno.
I thought the action scenes were so good because of how long they went for.
I love a long seamless sequence that doesn’t skip a beat.
Sign of good directing & editing.
‘The left is worse’ is not an excuse for everything.
Under the swastika, 6000,000 J-ws were burnt.
Flying that flag while on active duty for Australia is the act of a traitor and a scumbag.
FMD, the mindless tribalism here is unbelievable.
Cold War causalities: Berlin airlift, Budapest, Berlin wall, etc etc.
Act of a traitor?
Nah.
Pure dick move?
100%.
Perhaps in the chroma, but the luma levels look OK for the sun falling on the subject from about the 8 o’clock position of the observer, almost directly overhead of the subjects, given the shadows beneath the vehicle and the illumination of the white hats, the flag’s folds shadows appear to be correct.
CL, stop going One World Government on us.
PS, is OWG in a different timezone or is he posting midnight to sun-up fuelled on crystal meth & burger rings?
Not quite. Among other casualties more than 200 allied airmen were shot down while spying on the Soviet Union. Most never came home.

If only the flag was a rainbow flag. The ABC would be lauding the crew’s bravery. Angus Campbell would call them to Canberra to award them DSM’s.
Low energy person ,Turnbull to a T . Can anyone tell me anything in the portfolios he had that he did not make stupid decisions that cost us zillions, start with cloud seeding.
Yeah nah.
I’m gonna go fake for the following reasons:
– things like that are very hard to get in-country. You CAN get T-shirts with all sorts of slogans and symbols on them though
– I was serving the Sandpit around that time and never heard of anyone with such a swastika flag
– the troops using such vehicles in-theatre prided themselves on their professionalism and that included not doing silly things
– it would have drawn fire by being such a conspicuous outburst of colour
The guy who put up the nazi flag is clearly a low IQ individual.
Ho’s useful idiot and low performance ‘line learner’ Jane Fonda has announced that “It is time for US to take back OUR government.”
Let’s just spend a moment to ponder the sense of entitlement encapsulated in that pronouncement.
Err Jane sweatheart, who are WE?
“only people killed in the cold war were a couple of Brits in the movie , Atomic Blonde.”
Korea, Vietnam, numerous CIA agents, allied airmen, all the training deaths in NATO of those who stood guard and the others mentioned by cats above.
ABC reassured us that ‘hands were burnt’.
Flying the flag of an enemy is a big deal. A very big deal.
Then execute Prince Harry for Treason or shut the f$ck up Jesus Christ.

Warren Mundine speaking truth to power again. I’ve said it before here and I’ll say it again: the part-aboriginal family down the road from us in a neat house they built themselves (he was a carpenter) were an absolute role model to our area when I lived on a run-down backblock few agisted acres of long-cleared scrub on the outskirts of Mt. Druitt as a very young teenager. Like us, they’d aspired to get out of public housing. Unlike us, they were successful at it. Their two daughters ‘passed’ happily into white society and employment. Betty and Bubbie, you are still in my heart you lovely girls, and your quiet mum, such a good cook.
Just to be clear, that wasn’t the SAS flying the swastika.
Shadows in front of the wheels in the foreground, so probably looking Northward in the NH.
The commentariat consensus is that, true to form, stumblebum Trump has blown it; given Kim legitimacy without anything specific in return, set the stage for Kim to renege on any commitment to denuclearise, and confounded the US’s allies for no return.
However, it is not immediately clear why Kim would fuck around.
He is currently looking at an opportunity to come in from the international political cold, preside over the transformation of the Nork economy, provide unlimited scope for his elite supporters to feast on the incoming aid – and, down the track, perhaps end up as President of a reunited Korea.
Played correctly, he can do all this with the security of heavy China and South Korea investment backing up whatever security guarantee the US might give. No Obama-style betrayal and Gaddafi death-in-a-ditch necessary here.
Sure he could pull a swifty, get sanctions lifted, and then cunningly backtrack on whatever commitments he might have given – just like Dear Old Dad did. But what is the payoff for him then?
He embarrasses the US President; gets a couple of years of increased trade; a touch of domestic glory; and stays true to juche principles. But he guarantees that he will be an international pariah for the rest of his perilous career in charge of a bark-eating nation.
He still owns his nukes/ICBM’s of course, but he still can’t use them (if he actually can) without the certain knowledge his regime will be over. And he will face sanctions and the threat of US military intervention like never before.
Trump seems to have taken rather commercial, transactional steps to lock this in. The Summit agreement provides a clear joint commitment to immediacy, but no time line or specifics – which provides Kim with the wriggle room to deal with his internal politics, and Trump/Pompeo/US with the ability to call bullshit at any time if the Norks procrastinate.
Trump has unconditionally given Kim, China and Russia their starting point demand – suspension of War Games with S.Korea. It is a useful reward for Kim’s internal politics. However, if it becomes necessary to boot Kim as a bad actor, China and Russia are both invested in the failure and have a much more difficult task in opposing imposition of ramped-up economic/military sanctions.
It all seems pretty far from the narrative.
But then, I’m not a North Korea expert, or Stan Grant.
I wonder what the back story is with that flag. A dare or a joke?
Any way you look at it, it’s stupid.
I wonder if the culprit trained under Wilkie and took his teacher’s leanings to heart?
It’s definitely a Flag of Convenience, given the impending review-by-sociologist.
Common across ancient tribal Europe too, Stimps.
A very old sun-wheel religious symbol.
All the West German pilots in the “widowmaker’… oh wait.
Prepare to be appalled.
There needs to be lynchings.

Sanskrit, reversed. Kipling used it as his signature.
The photo of the dumb flag flying event was taken over 10 years ago.
The ABC are dredging up anything on Australia’s armed services at the moment, hence the SAS story too.
Bill Shorten was right in a strange way. Government needs to give more money to the ABC as they are the enemy and need to be bribed to not manufacture/exaggerate these kind of stories.
An ex-SAS guy I know says you should save your last bullet just in case – for the journalist.
Have a look at the bloke flying it.
What a bogan.
Kipling used it as his signature.
The dirty f$cking Nazi.
String him up.
My first thought when I saw it was that the flag stood out a little too much – but not really having much experience in photography and whatnot I was content to wait whether and until someone better skilled commented.
It is made for the ABC hivemind – they love smearing the ADF as psychotic hate-fueled fascists. I am sure there are plenty of them who believe they are Nazis – just that in the photograph they thought no one would find out.
Not sure who else it would impress. The locals would not be the most scholarly lot and I expect few of them really understand the full import of the symbol. Those who did understand would either not care (foreign war, far away and in the past) or even empathise with the holocaust stuff.
I expect there would be other troops, and allied troops, who would have a problem with it.
In any event, whether it was some daggy prank or some such thing I doubt it is what the ABC is strongly hinting.
But the ABC is very suspicious of the ADF. There are all sorts of strange things they are sure they get up to, but they cunningly hide them on battlefields or on patrol while being shot at.
They must be guilty of something.
Pretty sure the dickhead flying it wasn’t proclaiming his adherence to the Buddhist faith.
In all honesty it is probably the most aesthetically pleasing beautiful and powerful flag ever designed by a German.
Uh-huh.
Tommy Robinson has been moved to a 70% Muslim population, maximum security prison.

Are they Nazis?
No.

No.

ABC ‘story’ being taken far too seriously.
This abuse has been going on for decades, some might say 40000 years. Since the government took over responsibility for the former missions through funding and policy prescriptions since t he early 70s they have to have known what was going on under their noses. They have a whole government department set up for “the benefit of Aboriginal people.”
The Royal Commission specifically excluded these communities and the bureaucrats from scrutiny. The reports that do come to public notice are horrific in their nature. This is the tip of the iceberg. The RC was dealing with the reaction by institutions to abuse that occurred decades ago. This stuff is still occurring as I type.
Maybe Turnbull should apologise for the government inaction in communities it is responsible for.
Oops Kevin Rudd has already done that. All fixed!!
If it is doctored, it has been done by someone with some knowledge and skill as the jpeg artefacts are at the same level in the flag as elsewhere in the image.
It could be done as it is not that hard, if you know what you are doing. (I’ve done a few fake photos, mostly as jokes, and you only need Photoshop but you need to pay attention to the level of detail, the colour range, the shadows, etc.)
Lurker, that Tribunal hearing on Britain’s prostituted under-age children both boys and girls is, as you say, appalling. The dirty underbelly of British life and politics. I’m sure there are all sorts of shades of grey in the overall picture but it seems that there is enough in places to, as you say, justify a lynch mob.
On the latest news above, they do not seem too keen to protect Tommy Robinson, so perhaps this thing will explode mightily if anything happens to him.
I watched that right through, Lurker. Breathtaking.
It sounded like a Linda LaPlante story, so closely mirroring Prime Suspect. There was even a Jane Tennison copper, unqualified to roll the trouser leg.
If even a fraction of it is true, England is finished. As the gentleman noted, they care more about their pets than their children. The end of the decline can’t come fast enough.
Yeah nah.
In a rational world the dickhead who flew that flag should have been punished. He probably was to some degree, however I would have kicked him out of the army. Then that would have been the end of it.
However that’s not how these things work in 21st century Australia. Look at the bottom of the ABC article. They start banging on about army ‘culture’. No doubt Angus Campbell will make the appropriate noises agreeing that the culture is toxic.
This is being used to highlight the need for further steps to emasculate the army and those in charge will take those steps. That is fucking serious.
At the risk of taking Anne at face value, if Robinson has been transferred to a maximum security prison for a contempt of court charge any doubt this is a political exercise is gone.
the need for further steps to emasculate the army
People need to understand that the Left/government/pollies fear 2 things:
1. The moslems
2. The ADF, in particular, the SAS
They are too scared to touch #1, but can screw #2 over bigly.
Big Chief Currency Lad looks around village, complains about how samey all the wigwams look. How.
There’s a lot of rubbish being spouted in the media and elsewhere about the Korean situation and Trump’s role in it, what the good and bad of it all is.
Here’s something more convincing from American Thinker.
I don’t know what this means.
Just to repeat, though: flying a swastika – the banner under which 6000,000 J-ws were incinerated – is the act of a traitor and a scumbag.
And no, Da Left Iz Worse is not a respectable rejoinder.

Pretty decent summation
Idiot letter of the day from the Oz:
It is no wonder Kim Jong-un is smiling happily following the Singapore summit. North Korea has already developed the technology to build atomic bombs, and possibly hydrogen bombs. Notwithstanding his background in construction, Donald Trump does not seem to understand the building process. It starts with documented plans, drawings and specifications down to every last detail of what goes into the building. The same would apply to an atomic bomb.
No matter what deal is struck, these plans and specifications will most certainly be safely locked away in a vault somewhere in North Korea. Nobody can stop that from happening. If nuclear weapons are needed later, they can be built.
The trade-off is no more joint military exercises between US and South Korean forces, the lifting of economic sanctions and the economic resurrection of North Korea. This has to be the dumbest deal ever struck.

The fix is in, the bugman class are colludin to kick th e final leg out from the army.
If the UK Government has Tommy Robinson killed it’s not because they want to silence a political agitator, it’s because they want Civil War, chaos and violent protests in the streets of London and elsewhere, to which they could add false flag bio/chem/explosive attacks necessitating the institution of Martial Law.
It’s also a major distraction from the most historic geopolitical event this century – North Korea.
Trump is winning and regular people are paying attention.
The Cabal don’t want people knowing North Korea was controlled by the Globalist Deep State to be used as a patsy to start World War 3.
Exposure is their greatest fear.
Dark to Light. (Q)
Its pure councidence that we’ve got a bugman army cheif sounding off against the warrior spirit, articles about toxic SAS culture and now a picture from 11 years ago being presented as if its current.
There’s a campaign underway to rid us of these troublesome rough soldiers and replace them with fags.
Amen. I cannot comprehend how far the once-great Britain has fallen.
It is no wonder that for decades nothing was done about the grooming gangs – because such goings on apparently appear to be endemic.
Two separate Defence sources have identified a particular soldier as the individual who took the flag to Afghanistan.
And it’s been confirmed to have been flown.
The possibility the ABC enhanced the colour is beside the point.
Anyone thinking the flying of the Nazi ( or Hammer and Sickle for that matter) flag, the antithesis of the values of the country they are serving, is a rolled gold moron.
Shit like this gives ammo to the crusading SJW types and it needs to be called out.
Thanks for clearing that up Anne.
Of course.
The picture should have been disappeared in the interests of national security.
Instead it was leaked by the bug-lezzos at the ADF.
So the flag was flown in 2007.
Critical to know was it before or after the election to decide whether to blame Howard or Rudd.
Answers needed immediately.
Why are people assuming that flag pic hasn’t been doctored. Don’t ever trust something that comes through their ABC.
Nor would the jpeg image processing algorithm do much with chrominance resolution over such a minuscule part of the image, especially in an ’07 camera.
About as bad as I feel about Australian citizens fighting under the ISIS banner, which is what that would be.
Now if the rumour of an ADF soldier flying a swastika is a big deal (and it is if confirmed) then why isn’t the reality of Australians fighting for ISIS a monstrously bigger deal?
We’ve seen the volume of Fakenews that’s come out about Trump and the Wussian Callushion…. the so called Dossier. Why trust anything the ABC has quoting this or that source and assuming that pic is real? The left in this country are equally as dishonest as in the US. Don’t trust a single thing they say unless it’s verifiable. And by verifiable I don’t mean the top brass gays & lesbians currently running the ADF and certainly not the ABC.
The S.A.S can fly any flag they want. As long as they kill Taliban and ISIS I don’t give a toss.
CL was prescient last week. The entire urban bugman class have been mobilized to destroy the SAS and Commando Regiments. Every institution that is a bulwark of the traditional values has/ is being targeted for transformation. Nothing is safe. What is openly discussed in Australia 2018 would have been considered absurd or idiotic only 20 years ago. We have passed the crossroads. We are well past it.
Every single leaked story in the obvious set-up of our special forces over the past two weeks has appeared at the ABC. All of this material is coming from the ADF’s Homo Command. The ABC is now running this end-note to their special forces ‘reports’:
My advice to special forces is to flood the ABC with all sorts of ‘revelations’.
Keep them just this side of preposterous.
It’s confidential. Go for it.
Oh but lets trust the ABC to report accurately.

Fair point.
No, people are getting lost in the weeds here. Whether or not the Nazi flag was flown is irrelevant. If it was it’s nothing more than a disciplinary offense that should have been dealt with by SAS command. What we should be focussing on is the drip-drip of allegations against the SAS, etc. over the last couple of weeks, which seem to indicate a concerted effort by people in the ADF, in the political class, and in the media, against the SAS/ Commando Regiments.
