It is fair to say the Right has been feeling the ideological pinch lately. While the fussing and feuding has been going on, the Hard Left in Australia continues its moral decay at an impressive clip with hardly a mention.
Take the animal liberationist group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. Usually PETA spends the bulk of its energy and time routinely supplying the ABC’s Four Corners with free footage, allowing the current affairs program to work within its budget. It’s a win-win, provided you’re a card-carrying member of PETA or a journo with an insatiable thirst for a gold Walkley.
Yesterday it surfaced PETA had written to the management of Hunters and Collectors urging the band to change its name to something less violent and antagonistic. The thought being the band, first formed in 1981, might now be inadvertently encouraging young kiddies to load up the shotties, the pig dogs and several cartons of Emu Bitter and go out blasting away at ecosystems various in a frivolous manner.
Full column here.
Completely stunned by the death of Bill Leak. Especially after watching several times yesterday the videos of his book launch. He has been our leading cartoonist for years and in that role he is irreplaceable. He is also in a class of his own as a portraitist and writer.
A huge loss to us all and no doubt doubly so for those that knew him as a friend. Sorry for your loss Jack.
Vale Bill, sorry to hear about your friend Jack.
Damn! Sorry about your friend Bill, Jack. My condolences.
Thanks Dwight and thanks to all for their kind messages here and at the Aus. It’s been a tough day for a lot of people. No further posts from me tonight. I’ll get back on it tomorrow.
Oh no! Bill Leak dies. How awful, how sad. He will be missed
If only the government were “agile and innovative” man that was an expensive slogan and advertising campaign for this country.

The trump installed head of the EPA “Pruitt said on Thursday that he did not believe that the release of CO2, a heat-trapping gas, was pushing global temperatures upwards. ”
FN freakshow.

“Malcolm Turnbull is facing a once-in-a-century upheaval to politics” so writes Lindy Edwards of the SMH today, Mr Insider. Lindy goes on to say in the attached article that Politics is undergoing a once in 100 year upheaval and realignment. What a pity for the Liberal Party they have “Captain Custard” at the helm, good old Milton Trumble! And worse he has Tony “Mr 30 Consecutive Negative Newspolls” Abbott snapping at his heels. Strewth!

Hang on a minute Bassie, I smell a rat. If they only started with such a small number on one tiny island, how do you dismiss inbreeding might have got them in the end. I mean, there’s only so much you can take of a rat’s arse, if you give one of course.
Professor Triggs now tells the Guardian she is “sorry” about the QUT 18C discrimination case. She goes on to say the Commission has fixed its processes to prevent a recurrence of any party being left out of conciliation negotiations.
WFMD. No apology? Would such honourable gesture open the Commission to legal action by th aggrieved students I wonder?
No doubt Prof Triggs is not feeling real good this morning Lou. Whilst she has given a sort of apology, (without it actually being an apology due to PC), to the students, it is too late for Bill.
Life is too short for shit
Farmers say they are going ‘back to the future’ to dirty diesel to power their immigration pumps because since Labor was in electricity prices have DOUBLED under The Looters!!
Immigration pumps Bassie? No wonder those bloody 457 visas are out of control, the cockies are siphoning the slippery eels right under the authorities eyes.
Go talk to the Mexicans Bassie, your invention will make you rich. Just don’t let The Donald hear about it.
