- Comment on Brisbane City Council pulls funding for Queensland Music Awards over jazz award winner 17 hours ago:
Meanwhile on RN, David Marr is interviewing Omar el Akkard detailing the horrifying actions against Palestinians by the IDF, with the West’s support.
The mild description of the IDF shooting the childs car moments after speaking with them, i found grotesque.
Late Night Live - Reckoning with the West, Omar el Akkard (abclisten)
Instead we silence and punish the most meager acts of support for Palestinians.
One day we will be forced to reckon with our complicity and support of the crimes being committed. We don’t walk away from these lost innocents clean.

Good reminder of the Coalitions idiotic ideological demand for smaller government no matter the real benefits a trained and committed workforce brings compared to their contractor scammers, anybody like PWC to take back over?
- Comment on Look out for Burke in your backyard 1 week ago:
Burke was the Chair of the climate-change-denying Australian Environment Foundation.
He basically beat me to my joke as well! Satirists aren’t lying when they say its genuinely hard to satirise these people now.
- Comment on Look out for Burke in your backyard 1 week ago:
Yeah, i guess. I’s really gunnin for the jokes.
- Comment on Look out for Burke in your backyard 1 week ago:
Yeah, been too long what did he do again?
Could we call him the OG cancelled?
Nowadays he could probably make some alt-right podcast about how woke the Deep State Gardeners are.
1st episode:
Cactus Conspiracy:
Gardeners won’t tell you that you don’t have to live in a desert to grow them. ^cue shock and disgust^

Now that is an unpopular opinion.
This is like an opinion some Easterling would have. /j ;)
What if i told you its got a frypan wielding, tater tasting, gardener?
- Comment on Trump rejects Australia's bid for tariff exemptions 2 weeks ago:
Maybe, its small enough to Australia as a whole though, that it might be better to try to ignore it and concentrate efforts on expansion with better trade partners.
We, of course, want to react to things that hurt us. But we also don’t want to be seen to be over-reacting, or highly reactionary to minor slights. That undermines international investment confidence in Australia, which is more important to us than a country like the US.
It would be good for us to demonstrate stable and thoughtful statesmanship at this time. We should configure our own response to maximise our own soft power and reputation in the world, because other countries are also observing how we will react.
- Comment on Sale of state-owned assets possible to bring down Tasmanian debt 2 weeks ago:
Hey, Tassy gov should call Macquarie bank, the british are super pleased with how their privatised water assets have been maintained.
Well done Liberals. As the world turns away from largely failed neoliberal policies of privatisation, you guys just keep pluggin away. One day the markets bound to magically become free without any intervention from you.

- Comment on Israel activists infiltrate Labor Party in 'grassroots' putsch to hit Greens - Michael West 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, theres definitely no point where you could say they had ‘X’ real world effect on internal policy.
But in terms of political access, and financial backing theres certainly lots there. And those combined have the potential to have big effects on policy.
I took it as a carrion call for the Labor party to be alive to an active campaign to influence the Party in a direction thats not necessarily in the best interests of the their Party, or more importantly the Nation.
- Comment on Israel activists infiltrate Labor Party in 'grassroots' putsch to hit Greens - Michael West 3 weeks ago:
I’ve gota wonder what the AFP are investigating. If its something related to these people, well they seem to be willing to go to extraordinary lengths to support Israeli Government interests.
Makes me wonder how many/if any of these incidents against Jewish/Muslim people in Australia are genuine, or if they’re to undermine Australian’s solidarity.

- Comment on Legendary ABC chief election analyst Antony Green to step down 4 weeks ago:
He really makes election night fun.
Some elections i’d just throw him on while looking up other status reports, just spend the night watching the election unfold, such fun.
I think the craziest was the earth stomping WA Labor victory, it was over so quickly, sooo decisively. I did feel a bit robbed of my election watching night though, had to find something else to do.

I think a shade sail is the way to go, the bigger the better. In fact if you can find some buccaneers, i think a sailing ship sail would really make the building pop!

Ah, serves me right for commenting without reading, cheers!

He telegraphed this a while back. Job well done, wish him the best with his next adventures in life.
Who do we think is gonna get the nod?
-
Ben Raue should be a contender, although his previous polical affiliations might get in the way.
-
Kevin Bonham, from tassy, don’t know much about him myself.
-
William Bowe of Poll Bludger fame. I have to go for him as a hometown hero! Lol!
-
Glenn Druery, the preference whisperer, could be a controversial but interesting pick.
I’m sure theres plenty of other people who wpuld be great options.

- Comment on New definition of antisemitism endorsed by 39 universities 4 weeks ago:
If they want to call me anti-semetic so be it, i know i’m not. I’ll never support, even tacitly, the repugnant actions Israel has undertaken towards their neighbours for decades. Its not a race, religion or culture thing its a ‘don’t commit crimesagainst humanity thing’.
To get in before false equivalences, my values stand for all sides in every case. Especially my own country, Brereton Report is an example of our own National shame laid bare.
- Comment on I think they're putting us in the matrix 4 weeks ago:
😂 Its mentioned, i think in the wikipedia article, that the ongoing maintenance costs of Lloyds are huge and were it not for the buildings historic listing, there is a reasonable chance they’d have already taken the building down. So you’d better allocate extra in the budget for those ongoing costs.
- Comment on I think they're putting us in the matrix 4 weeks ago:
Ha. Yeah, not what i’d call his best work.
- Comment on I think they're putting us in the matrix 4 weeks ago:
Looks to me like an example of Bowellism. I saw it and instantly thought of the Lloyds building in London, but its not that. Interesting picture though,

It’s such a drain of time and energy for the benefit it can yield,
Whats led you to this conclusion about Party membership?
After your comment on community groups you’ll enjoy the passage below from Mariana Mazzacato’s, Mission Economy. Read this bit not long before i saw your reply.
- Comment on Planes diverted as China conducts rare military drill near Australia 5 weeks ago:
Wow, that quote is insane.
I often wonder if our future selves will look back at the way the West has operated over this uni-polar moment and realise we have been quite cavalier and imperious in our behaviours towards others. In a geopolitical way, i mean.
- Comment on Planes diverted as China conducts rare military drill near Australia 5 weeks ago:
Claims have been made that the Government are considering diplomatic immunity for any crash test dummies that may wash ashore from these vessels’ live fire drills.
Is there substance to these claims? And if so, are we expecting to treat all dummies from other countries as having diplomatic immunity, or simply crash test dummies?
- Comment on Planes diverted as China conducts rare military drill near Australia 5 weeks ago:
There weren’t any claims about any national borders being crossed in the article.
The point of interest in this event is the fact that this is a new type of miliatristic behaviour from the Chinese regime towards Australia, and in this case New Zealand.
The other point of interest, is that of normal processes not being followed, which i would hope Australia does during our freedom of navigation exercises, and hopefully will be followed by the Chinese Navy in future.
To be clear, my problem with your comment, isn’t your opinion being expressed. Thats, of course yours, and none of my beeswax to police. But its the mischaracterisation of the events. In times like these, i think its damaging to our national conversation to mischaracterise events like these, whether unintentional or not.
- Comment on ‘Wilful act of bastardry’: Henry condemns tax system for crushing young Australians 5 weeks ago:
Even people who don’t really have a Union, there are lots of other community groups that can be joined or created.
Something overlooked far too often though is just the fact of joining a political party itself. Helping to change and shape its direction from the inside.
- Comment on Do electricians know what a bin is? 5 weeks ago:
This last one is the most like my experience lately. Shut all over the show. I walk around finding offcuts, and little piles of plasterdust where they’ve been drilling.
Should’ve seen the insulation batts, feckin everywhere but where they were meant to be. Those bastards went out of their way to leave them in weird angles. Surprised none were left on the chminey!
- Comment on Albanese in trouble as polling shows Dutton most likely to be next PM 5 weeks ago:
So what your saying is Labor, and other parties/independents need to hook Australians on this fantastic new drug called hopium. ;) maybe…
It is in short supply around the world at the moment, that should change.
If theres one good thing about the US turning in on itself, it’ll mean more space for Australians to spread our own cultural, mechanical, industrial, military and many other wings again. Maybe jot be so focused on our “comparative advantages” in the “global market”. Theres potentially a lot of hope in projects of that nature.
The world mightn’t be in the right place for a message reliant on hope, maybe your right Australians might be. I think even our most regressive individuals are in a different, more detached place from their erstwhile peers in other countries.
- Comment on Albanese in trouble as polling shows Dutton most likely to be next PM 5 weeks ago:
Hmm, mediscare did work though, the threat of privatising energybin WA tends to go down well also. But I’m not sure i can think of an example where it has failed. Have you got an example?
Also its not the politics i’d like, thats for sure.
