Liberty Quote
Strictly, libertarianism is only a philosophy of government. It does not offer a vision of the good or moral life. A libertarian can, in theory, hold any social belief they like. All they have to do is oppose the government forcing those beliefs on others.

It’s obscene. For that kind of money, they will discard any principles save kissing as much arse as is necessary.
So, all the women who applied to join the infantry failed; all of them and this fuckwit says this is not a failure of the process to get more women into the infantry. Either that or he’s a genius circumventing the gender requirements of this witless government. In any event he’s an ugly bastard.

Yes, but we punch above our weight.
The Chief of Army says he hasn’t commissioned a study (not that one is needed) to assess whether women can successfully be thrown into hand-to-hand front-line combat. He obviously just doesn’t care. He knows it’s all bullshit; no women are ever going to be sent into close-quarters combat against the Taliban. But he’ll carry on with the stupid, morale-destroying pretense because he hasn’t got the balls to tell the truth. That’s your Chief of the Army.

Keep us posted on the Great Bali Adventure.
No that’s not what he said (though it may be the case).
He was talking about a pre-course specific to females that is supposed to get them fit enough to join. All the women who attended that course failed the subsequent infantry course and weren’t posted to infantry battalions. However according to Campbell, 24 women (10 regular and 14 reserve) are now serving in infantry battalions so they did pass apparently.
That being said, a serving soldier on the Cat (Sydney Boy?) posted a while ago that even the females who were allowed to “pass” the course, had not actually completed all the physical requirements. So, no surprise there was double standards. None of this was mentioned by Campbell or Anning in the video.
“An influential United States Congress hearing has been told “one of the major fundraisers for Jacinda Ardern’s party” is linked to the Chinese Communist Party and it showed China had penetrated New Zealand’s political networks.”
Has anyone asked Winston Peters what he thinks of chicom bribe money organising New Zealand Politics?.
” As of 2013, Chinese New Zealanders account for 4.3% of the population of New Zealand”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_New_Zealanders
The chicoms would feel well within their rights to look out for the interests of their significant diaspora in kiwiland. Once the ten percent demographic is reached, then they can simply open a branch of the Party in New Zealand and just fund that.

Nah, that was in the Alamo. Just ask Monty.

“This came after Mr Peters’ first major policy speech as Foreign Minister in New Zealand’s new Labor-led coalition, delivered to the Confucius Institute of Wellington’s Victoria University last December.
“Sometimes the West and commentators in the West should have a little more regard to that and the economic outcome for those people, rather than constantly harping on about the romance of ‘freedom’,” he was quoted as saying at the time.
“The Chinese have a lot to teach us when it comes to uplifting everybody’s economic future.”
Observers have been puzzled by Mr Peters’ rapid change of tone and language on China, but experts say the change is to be expected now that Mr Peters holds office.”

Unlike Gerritisen, I believe a shift is warranted towards critical rather than selective empirical reference of observations with similar regard of ‘academic’ publishing rights.
For eg, how is it that isolated aboriginal peoples of some >40,000 years developed twine for animal hide water carriers, yet no related river or sea-craft, or bulk storage in areas of drought. And no didgeridu(oo) companionable bagpipe music?
Pottery? Clay fired in eureka moments of patch burning exercises has not been (as yet) established. Neither shards of local hand worked clay pottery discovered in spite of Macassan traders.
And aboriginal villages were documented some 50+years on from colonisation, much the same constructions of early convicts/agriculturalists.
Triumph of imitation. Or a complete paradigm shift needed.

Has Khamenei signaled dead-end for Iranian regime’s adventures?
The United States’ important policy shift against Iran’s growing ambitions, spelled out in a 12-article speech delivered by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, is leaving Tehran’s clerical rulers facing quite a difficult challenge.
Iran experts believe these changes are based on two domestic and international pillars, acknowledging the reality of Tehran’s regime as a main threat in regards to its nuclear program, ballistic missile drive, exporting terrorism and fundamentalism, and a domestic crackdown machine on full throttle.
Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei understands how such dangerous circumstances are rendering severe setbacks for his forces both inside the country and militia proxies abroad.
Reports indicate the Afghan “Liwa Fatemiyoun” militias, hired to fight in Syria, are deserting their units, and Tehran is apparently ordering Houthi militia units in Yemen to withdraw from the country’s western coastline and surrender their most strategic port in al-Hudaydah.
Six conditions
In a desperate effort to counter this offensive, Khamenei has placed six conditions before the European Union to issue resolutions against the US in the United Nations Security Council, not raise the issue of Iran’s ballistic missile program and Middle East influence, guarantee trade through European banks, assure Iran’s ability to fully sell its oil, compensate pledges the EU has not lived up to (according to Khamenei) and take a stand against US sanctions.
As preposterous as Khamenei’s words sound, we need to understand that he has no choice but to resort to such remarks. And of course, the words of French President Emmanuel Macron sink deep in the minds of Tehran’s senior officials. French firms have to decide on continuing their activities in Iran and assessing the risks imposed by US sanctions, he said in recent remarks. The French President cannot ask companies such as Total to pull out of their business in the US, Macron said.
As many European companies continue to rush out of Iran, Stadler of Switzerland has been the latest to jump on the train, halting a $1.1 billion contract to provide and build 960 wagons for the Tehran-Karaj metro, citing the return of US sanctions as the reason.
Iran’s own political figures are losing hope. “How do we expect the Europeans to forgo their $700 billion exports to the US for the sake of $20 billion exports to Iran?” recently said Sadegh Zibakalam, a Tehran professor University with ties to the Iranian regime’s so-called reformist camp.
Although Khamenei has taken what seems to the naked eye a strong position by placing demands before Europe, he is also seeking new negotiations with the Green Continent. This proves that Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif’s visits to China and Russia, and a recent drive of Iran seeking eastern shift in policy, failed miserably.
From day one after Washington pulled out of the Iran nuclear deal, the reality about the Iranian regime’s destructive policies became clear. Neither the European Union, Russia nor China are willing to provide any guarantees to Tehran. This explains why Khamenei, desperately seeking a lifeline, sees the only path forward as establishing a rift in the international community to somehow find breathing room for his regime.
I think Roseanne Barr said a dumb thing on social media after a few drinks. Unwise in her position.
But if she said something similar about a Trump associate – it would not be a problem and her show would not be cancelled.
It’s simply her support of D.Trump that’s done her in, not a stupid comment on Twitter.
it’s funny how Waleed goes for collective punishment except of course unless you’re Muslim. It was a TV show like hundreds of other TV shows.You can still watch reruns of Roseanne. If she was smart you’d still be getting a cut of the residuals. Valerie Jarrett was an advisor to the president the president had to do daily with very sever terrorist and security threats I make the right call so as not to inflamed already incendiary situations. She now wants to tell us she’s upset about some tweet buy some actress then she’s a fraud because someone that hypersensitive should have never been anywhere near a president advising and how to respond in life threatening situations. As it is it’s all The Usual Suspects who decided to get offended on her behalf and she just jumped on the bandwagon at the end. Personally I don’t buy any of this confected outrage. I think everyone who’s carrying on about it is a stark raving hypocrite who doesn’t give two hoots about true racism.

If she was smart *she’d still be getting a cut of the residuals
My high school church’s history:
Exactly 200 years ago this month (May), Fr Jeremiah O’Flynn—the only Catholic priest in the colony of Sydney—was arrested and deported, as a way of keeping the troublesome Irish Catholics in check.
Before he boarded the ship however, Fr O’Flynn left behind something that would give enormous consolation to the Catholics of the colony—the Blessed Sacrament.
“[As a priest] you do what’s necessary,” says Fr Michael Whelan SM, Parish Priest of St Patrick’s Parish in the Rocks. “He saw the plight of these people… Plus he was Irish. It’s in their blood.”
It is believed that in May 1818—in true Irish style—the rebellious Fr O’Flynn left the Blessed Sacrament at the home of either William Davis or James Dempsey. Fr O’Flynn regularly celebrated clandestine Masses in the homes of both men.
Both Davis and Dempsey were Irish convicts transported to Australia for allegedly taking part in anti-British activities. Both their homes were in the vicinity of St Patrick’s Church in the Rocks, as it stands today.
St Patrick’s church in the Rocks was built on the land owned by William Davis. Today the church is a spiritual oasis for Catholics in the midst the hustle and bustle of Sydney.
Tradition has it that after losing their only priest, and therefore access to the sacraments, the Catholics of the colony would congregate together, in one or both of these houses, to pray before the Eucharist.
When the foundation stone of St Patrick’s Church was laid in 1840, Archbishop John Bede Polding—first Archbishop of Sydney and first bishop in Australia—was recorded as saying, “See that cottage! There twenty years ago was our religion cradled and concealed, there its mysteries worshipped.”
While many believe the Archbishop was referring to Davis’ cottage, others think Dempsey’s house the more likely candidate.
Australian artist Paul Newton depicted in one of his paintings the Catholic community of Sydney in 1818 praying before the Blessed Sacrament in a private home.
“It’s a beautiful painting and it epitomises what we’re celebrating—the lay faithful gather around the Eucharist, forming a Eucharistic community and keeping the faith alive against the odds,” Fr Whelan said.
Today, Eucharistic Adoration is a regular occurrence at St Patrick’s church in the Rocks.
This Sunday 6 May at 12pm Archbishop Anthony Fisher OP will be joined by numerous bishops, priests and parishioners as he celebrates Mass at St Patrick’s Church in the Rocks to mark 200 years of the Preservation of the Blessed Sacrament in Australia.
There will also be an exhibition of precious relics and historical items in the church’s crypt, including a pyx (vessel used to transport the Eucharist) dating back to 1818 and candlesticks from the Davis home.

The 40 radicalized prisoners who are preparing to leave French prisons over the next 18 months after serving their sentences are “a major risk”, France’s leading counter-terrorism prosecutor has warned.
France is already on high alert for terrorism but the security threat is likely to only increase in the coming years, according to France’s leading counter-terrorist prosecutor Francois Molins.
Authorities are getting ready to release about 20 radicalised prisoners in 2018 and a further 20 in 2019, Molins said in an interview with BFM TV.
And police, intelligence services and authorities need to take action, he said.
“There is a major risk of seeing people who are not at all repentant at the end of their sentence come out of prison, who could even be more radical given their stay in prison,” he added.
Squalid has shot his own foot off in public one time too many and has little cred in criticising what is likely a p1ssed rant by Roseanne.

Someone posted a review of Anthony Beevor’s new book on the battle for Arnhem over on an old thread.
I can highly recommend a new look at a subject I thought had been done to death a long time ago. Beevor concludes that the operation was doomed to failure from the start as a result of slapdash “victory fever” planning. The German Army was in full retreat, after being smashed in Normandy, what could go wrong? He pulls apart the myth, largely spread by the Americans, that the British tank crews “stopped to drink tea” after the (belated) capture of the Nijmegan bridge, instead of going “hell for leather” up the Arnhem road. There’s an eyewitness account of an incident I’d never heard of- Roy Urquart, commander of the British First Airborne Division presented himself in his senior officer’s office – General “Boy” Browning – and told him outright “Sir, you have ordered me to plan this operation, and I have done it, and now I wish to inform you that I think this is a suicide operation.”
Oh, and the incident in the film “A Bridge Too Far” where a parachute dropped, supply container is opened, and found to be full of red berets, was based on fact. Survivors of the battle report recovering supply containers containing said red berets, battledress, boots, blanco, writing paper and office supplies. The book is good reading, check it out.

Gab, you went to St Pats Church Hill ?
Nationalist parties want to go back in time, to traditional roles for women, and to limit women’s right to their own body. Their policies exclude ethnic and religious minorities, refugees and asylum seekers, HBTQ people, feminists and human rights activists – virtually anyone who does not fit in their mall. This is a threat to our democracy and the idea of everyone’s right to equal participation. It is also a threat to our human rights and the universal human rights principle of equal value for all people.

It’s hard to think of a more volatile mix: Four young black males from Baltimore City, accused in the death of a white female police officer in Baltimore County. Authorities say three of the teenagers were breaking into homes when the fourth ran the officer over in a stolen Jeep.
Kruger is correct. Peter Hammond in 2005 wrote Slavery, Terrorism and Islam The Historical Roots and Contemporary Threat. From this a study used Hammond’s criteria and described various indicators such as terrorism, general criminality, enclaving, introduction of Islamic values, halal, the burqa and found a correlation with the size of the muslim population and the increase of all of those indicators, in short the more muslims you have the more social strife you have.

So why the hell hasn’t Sessions un-recused himself and jumped into the fray? Because he’s part of the problem. It is my belief that Sessions was an establishment shill from the very beginning and was put into the Trump campaign to help to destroy him should he win. This Senator from Alabama has been a huge disappointment and now we know why…because he is fully part and parcel of the establishment who wants outsider Trump destroyed.
In mid-April, the Attorney General told the White House he might have to leave his job if President Donald Trump fired his deputy, Rod Rosenstein, who oversees the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.
Sessions made his position known in a phone call to White House counsel Donald McGahn as Trump’s fury at Rosenstein peaked after the deputy attorney general approved the FBI’s raid April 9th on the president’s personal attorney Michael Cohen.
Sessions and Rosenstein are good buddies, and we all know that Rosenstein and Mueller are very good friends. Link Those three are the main DOJ problems, get rid of them, and you cut the head off the snake. Then go after all the little rattlers.

Just focus on one single issue if you find it at all possible.

Alert levels are a bullshit attempt by governments pretending they can do something. Stop being childish.

Close air support to the infantry, and the Airfield Defence guards, anyone? Close armored support, to the infantry, such as the Centurion tanks gave, in Viet Nam, anyone?
Ok. Raising the terror level isn’t the issue; letting in the muzzies in the first place is the issue; the ancillary issue is letting in more; and the subsidiary issue is kowtowing to the vermin when they’re here.
Probably not.
Again probably not, however tanks saw plenty of combat during Vietnam. That is, they were firing their guns at the enemy who fired at back at them with explosive ordinance of one sort or another.
Australian soldiers have also been killed in armoured vehicles in Afghanistan by IEDs (mines). That’s not to mention the combat that infantry and special forces have been involved in this century. Not a lot in the greater scheme of things, however they were doing their core duty of fighting the enemy on land.
The Navy on the other hand has not engaged in their core duty of fighting the enemy on the sea since the middle of last century. Now before you get all het-up and defensive, try and understand my original point. The Chief of the Navy was bragging that the RAN had employed women in combat roles for 30 years with no problems. Combat roles, not combat.
So what? They are just pretending. The Navy is now more concerned with issuing Mona Shindy with a hijab than sinking enemy ships.
The role of the Centurion tanks, in Viet Nam, just about sums up this fvcked up country of ours. When the tanks were deployed, they couldn’t be serviced, or maintained, because the union laborers, who loaded those tanks for overseas service, from Australia, had stolen all the tools off every tank.
Not sure if you read the article but this change is aimed squarely at allow more unskilled workers to enter and stay (lower skills requirements, lower Jap language skills).
They are doing a ‘Merkel’ by stealth.

Senator “Duggie” Cameron versus Senator Jim Molan:
Liberal senator Jim Molan has demanded an apology from Labor senator Doug Cameron following a fiery exchange in a Senate committee hearing today during which the retired major-general was derided by his counterpart for his “flag-wrapping nonsense”.
Senator Molan accused Senator Cameron of repeatedly mocking the military during the tense hearing, after the Labor MP objected to the Liberal’s ongoing interjections during a debate on the underpayment of Tasmania’s lowest-paid workers.
“Mate, you’re not a general anymore, and I’m not a private in your army,” Senator Cameron said, motioning for Senator Molan to sit down.
Senator Molan replied: “On a number of occasions today, senator, you have run that line against me. I don’t care what you say about me … you are insulting everyone who has worn the uniform of this country over many many years.”
When the former military chief asked Senator Cameron to apologise for his “disrespectful” remarks, Senator Cameron said: “Don’t give me that flag-wrapping nonsense.”
Both senators later posted separate clips of the exchange on their respective Facebook pages, with Senator Cameron labelling his clip with the caption: “I’m trying to get to the bottom of workers being ripped off, and Liberal Senator Jim Molan keeps running interference on behalf of big business. He needs to pipe down.”
Senator Molan asked his Facebook followers if they thought Senator Cameron should apologise.
Neither senator could not be reached for comment last night.
Link has some clips but doubtless they are also available on the Parliament site. Cameron is taking a hammering in the comments under the Oz article. Mine is: “How go the expensive suits Dougie? Still got the hi-vis behind the office door along with a few “worker jackets” so you can convince the plebs you are one of them?”
Would love a punchup in the courtyard outside between these two. Given they have some time to go in their jobs it might happen one day.
Dougie’s office contacts are: (02) 47514288
Or via email at: [email protected]
I’m sure he would like to hear how disgusting his comments are. Remember to be polite to the genuine workers who slave away for him.
Barr was guilty of a really bad joke and just gave a b c an excuse not to renew the program for another season and I think they did not want to review it for another season because they were pissed that it was popular given it stood for everything against what the Liberal elites believe. More pissed that Roseanne who has her own colourful view of the world seemed to support Trump although I would say she’s just idiosyncratic. The more I listen to the fallout and excuses coming out of ABC – do check out the ABC CEO, her background and The Machinations behind the scene- the more I bet that this is just another decision by mob rule. Trump just mailed their hypocrisy by poonting out thr ABC’s lack of apology. I don’t believe Roseanne is a racist. And the reruns will be back soon enough. Money always talks loudest in that industry.

It was a good retort by Sinofi but I would have just replied. “True. But as your own warning label says, it does impair judgement.”
Having said that she shouldn’t have even tried to blame it on Ambien even if she was half doped up. That excuse only works for lefties.

Lets say you are a policeperson, armed with whatever, on patrol with your partner, who is also armed.
The perp sneaks up behind the pair of you and stabs your partner. What do you do?
See, I think there is something wrong here. Either the perp was very very fast and accurate with a knife, or the two on patrol were not aware of their surroundings and just going on a “Sunday” stroll.
Motelier, walk far enough apart that one assailant can’t get you both too quickly and so you can cover each other’s back. Works in fighter combat.

Surfed Cloudbreak on my first overseas airstrip in 94,not at that size (12-15ft IMO) but a solid 8 or a bit bigger. Heavy wave, especially on your backhand! Embarrassed to say I went straight instead of pulling in a few times. No balls after going over the falls for a brutal beating!
In the best news short of pulling the plug on the ABC, Sky has done a deal with WIN to go free to air in the regions on channel 83. It will happen somemtime this year, and there may be other moves in the pipeline.
At last there will be an alternative to the green left monster that puffs itself up on taking a service to the rural backblocks, even though that service is largely poison.
Foxtel viewers will still have more channels on tap for their subscription money, but the main items in the Sky lineup will go out to the voters!

Cutting off white flight to rural Australia is another battlefront their left is opening up.
The fundamental transformation of rural towns from agricultural services centers into refugee dispersal area service centers is the next Big Australia demographic push.
The ability of Stalinist shires to tax the capital value of farmland is held back by peasant families still on the land.
Once the Clearances of peasant owner operators are complete and corporate super funds and investment managers run Australia’s farms with fly in flyout staff, then the Stalinists can ratetax the land at penalty social justice levels to fund services for mass imported welfare vote plantations.
Purge the peasants for Progress.

Chevron suffered an adverse judgement some time back from a case brought by enviro activists and encouraged, boosted by the usual Hollywoood suspects. It came out however that the case and the standard operating procedures of the complainants were not merely fraudulent but extended to extortion and judicial bribary.
Chevron has now won damages, but as Joanne Nova asks, will you hear about this bad behaviout by supposed tree huggers in the swamp that is ABC, BBC, etc?
Full story here?
None of my comments up at The Daily Telegraph have been published naturally – I know Miranda hates me – but I did point out that the lady pagers at the DT are having conniptions because Vikki Campion did not abort the baby and Barnaby chose to support her.
And so I was right https://www.news.com.au/entertainment/tv/current-affairs/barnaby-joyce-and-vikki-campion-reveal-they-were-pressured-to-abort-their-baby/news-story/2a953e44de6b88c9292d98c54fd4062e
Now imagine if she had an abortion. Can you imagine that all would have been well in Lefty Paradise? I say it again: I don’t approve of adultery. Yes you can help who you fall in love with. But good on her for standing up to those bullies who wanted her to abort a child.
There’s a poster going around on social media that shows a bear in an enclosure at a zoo, looking forlorn and sad, as you can well imagine it is. The caption reads “Other Lives Have Value Too.”
One can only surmise what the author’s views are on abortion, but animal activism and leftism do tend to go hand in hand, and humans are more often seen as a problem to be mitigated.
The increase in the value of farmland is now flowing nicely into the hands of government.
Our latest rates bill has increased by 25%
Farmers with viable holdings in this shire are now paying around $50,000 in rates.
FMD! (and I don’t mean Farm Mansgement Deposit scheme).
Rural councils are probably amongst the most corrupt councils in the country I reckon.
Oh, and I forgot to mention. The shire is chasing us down for unregistered dogs and cats as well. $50,000 is not enough.
The farms owned and run by the new wave of managed funds and corporate are demographic wastelands, the fly in fly out staff don’t even buy fuel and sandwiches on the way through, let alone demographically support fire brigades, schools or buy charity raffle tickets at street fundraisers.
The capital city population Ponzi is rippling out in rising land values for all real property.As inside country is snapped up through Ponzi demand, the money is pushed a further hour or two drive time further out.
Unelected shire staff have tried to soften up the massive tax rises on unserviced farmland by saying they are working on ways to tax FIFO corporate harder. This won’t work, only purging the peasant will progress mass ratetax increases.
Comrades.
From the Daily Telegraph. Margaret Cuneen called him a scared little teenager. The Left refuses to admit his crimes were racist.
TE,
I had a quick look at the Australian’s twitter thread for that story.
There is a strange creature there speculating that Molan, because he can be recalled to service, might be in breach of s44 of the constitution as an employee of the federal government.
The fact that he is not currently serving seems to have passed so far over her head that the swishing sound did not alert her to it.
But that is how the left thinks: Laws and rules are merely weapons to be deployed against enemies. And those are the kinds of laws they are always looking to have enacted.
There is another creature there who seems to think that joining the military is about being allowed to indulge your homicidal impulses, and that it is for people with no imagination or capacity to think for themselves.
Let’s compare:
In the military you are trained to be in situations that are chaotic, ever changing and where missteps will see you killed. You have to assess, adapt and improvise to achieve an objective while someone is throwing every obstacle in your way they can while trying to kill you.
In the public service (the greatest left-wing enclave) people need to be able to…
In India and similar places the flyswats are like a Totem Tennis paddle with an electric bug zapping grid. I cannot imagine what modifications (cough stun gun cough) might be possible.
Private land owners are taxed by rates whereas public land, like National Parks and State forests are tax free and the locals are expected to foot the bill for access roads and flood works. Everyone in the State get to enjoy our vast public lands but we poor suckers get to pay.
Well, he isn’t a Western European.
… maintain a clear path to the staff canteen for a paleo pear and banana bread indulgence.
Schools were always obliged to report alleged criminal conduct but during the 1970s and 80s “there were not the detailed reporting policies that exist today and there was no departmental investigative unit”.
A few teachers I worked with in the 80s might be getting a bit nervous.
One female – aged 22 – was conducting an affair with a Year 12 boy in one of her classes.

You have to assess, adapt and improvise to achieve an objective while someone is throwing every obstacle in your way they can while trying to subvert every attempt you make to improve a disastrous Department of Defence.
Fixed.
The water authority water tax has been about half the shire rates tax.
When the water pipeline went in, we were told that the costs of running a pipeline would be a fraction of running open channels.
Frankenwater authority now simply hires consultants to identify one in a hundred year risks that need a Big Water authority charging higher taxes to manage.
Water tax on capital on top of shire tax on capital.
Comrades.
The latest in the Waffleroach’s unrelenting quest to implement every lunatic policy of labor and the greenfilth:
The fact that those irredeemable imbeciles are even “actively considering” this hysterical rubbish shows how far removed from sensible governance these monstrous cretins are.
Is there any aspect of our lives these monumental fuckwits aren’t seeking to regulate, tax, or declare illegal?
How much longer do people put up with this shit?
I see Stormy Daniels’ lawyer has been torn to shreds by the judge in the fake Cohen case.
LOL.
Roseanne missed an opportunity. The Pussy Grabber in Chief is the same colour as an orangutan.
These pricks are on a minimum $200k a year. They don’t care if a car costs a few thousand more. They get a comcar too.
Trump regrets sessions; looks like sessions is part of the problem:

Fire services levy tax on capital value of farmland.
In order for yarragrad to go to fifty percent wymynsys, the fire kommittat must fund massive automation, robotics and air water bomber support.
Comrades.
As I previously observed.

“Lucy Turnbull believe changing our reliance on cars is crucial to helping our cities work better.
‘Taming road congestion is going to be a big issue for our cities. I would love cars to become redundant and obsolete but it’s not going to happen,’ Turnbull says.”
Comrades.
Taming road congestion is going to be a big issue for our cities.
So tell Malcolm to take his foot off the immigration accelerator, for starters.
Shires creeping up on how to fund inner city style recycling on unserviced farmland.
Charging per recycling bin only pushes waste dumping out into the bush, so they want to tax capital value of farmland to fund recycling.
Drafting up a waste management and recycling business plan for the farm is mentioned in the new livestock accreditation compliance audit schemes, but not yet enforced.
Purge the peasants and replace them with corporate farmlandholders with compliance departments. then shires can charge full sugar farm rates to pay to hire more shire inspectors to audit corporate compliance departments. Plus help and save the masses of imported refugees in the shire refugee dispersal area vote plantations.
Comrades.
Just reading through this thread (page) reveals the latest items/activities collectivists want banned:
Tobogganing
Kitchen knives
Plastic straws
Cars
FFS.
That’s “redundant and obsolete” for everyone except Dame Edna Turnbull, the Waffleroach and the nomenklatura.
Shire tax on capital on top of water tax on capital on top of fifty percent wymynsys firefighter tax on capital on top of ‘china wont take our dumped rubbish anymore’ recycling tax on capital, plus they want a refugee dispersal area tax on capital, plus sheepdog tax.
Then they start taxing the hours of your life with compliance burdens.
As piggy howes said, the agenda is to have socialised cuba style farm ownership, with union super funds owning the land, unionised workforces producing from the centrally planned operation and the right sort of class employed as inspectors to enforce compliance for the communal good.
And we laughed at him.
Comrade Maaaates.
Rae = Troll
Could everyone please ignore this facetious piece of shit?
As Baldrick says : FUCK OFF
Cars are the greatest thing that has ever happened for freedom.
What a complete and utter xunt.
What are their Chloe shorten and their Dame Bryce going to tell wee Willy shorten to think about cars?.
Actually, bicycles were 50 years earlier, and meant for the first time people could live miles from where they worked.
Run over a cyclist for freedom.
Comrades.
Can you imagine this happening here?
