Here I was all set to knock out a Christmas column full of cheer and bonhomie but life, or more accurately, Daily Life has intervened.
I normally disapprove of intra-media byplays but Fairfax Media’s Daily Life section has become so full of cranky third wave feminism that someone needs to hold it up to the light. Among this waste of ink and kilobyte street corner psychobabble, comes a contribution from self described feminist Polly Dunning who tells her harrowing tale of giving birth to a shame boy. The good news is she’s slowly getting over it.
I’m not allowed to swear anymore, at least not at volume but this is sorely testing my already fragile grip on self-control.
At first blanch this was merely another addition from women who have recently given birth and have come to believe that having done so, they have unlocked the secrets of the universe. But on further reading this is a tale of a woman not just at war with men but also her own male child.
Full column here.
Dismayed .
Victoria SA&QLD state Labor governments back in the energy news again facing future backlash crisis not able to supply base load power to houses and businesses with now steep rising costs arriving soon .Closing down reliable cheap coal plants particular struggling families , has invited danger .QLD in a suicide mission not learning by mistakes fron SA and Victoria want a target emission cuts 50% just at a time the party is struggling to rising ambitious smaller parties forming in that state . Not supplying adequate power and reliability says Nick Zenothon , with see political changes in this country. Numerous occasions , these pollies still ignorant after the Trump warning that tolerance is running thin with voters .Seems the charter of idealogy Dismayed , is “sinking “these states into total ignorance of the facts people pay high taxes with little returns.
Up here they cannot even make the trains run, even with triple the overtime of the previous govt. Head of QR operations got a $77,000 bonus last month. Hell of a hand.

“Not really Carl. The issue is the return of fighters from the ME. It will become a massive problem over the next two years. More than happy for JTI to give you my email addy and explain a bit more.”
Apologies for not responding sooner Razor.
The point I was attempting to make re the government’s New Year announcement that the top twin policy priorities for 2017 (national security being one) appeared to be another one of Malcolm’s messaging mismatches. On the one hand he reassured the nation that our multiculturalism policy is going gangbusters, while on the other hand the end product (including the returning ME fighters you mentioned) requires our security agencies continuing utmost attention.
Everything does not appear to be so hunky dory on the ‘mix and match’ front when we witness (as just a couple of eg.) garbed women and others smashing journo’s cameras and screaming abuse outside (and inside) courthouses, and newcomers from Somalia and elsewhere running amok in the streets and parks of our cities.
Re your kind offer to share info discrete from jack’s blog, I’ll put that on hold if you don’t mind. There are a few domestic issues that are presently occupying most of my spare time. I appreciate the offer Razor and perhaps we can keep it open for now.
Cheers
On behalf of many of our fellow bloggers, can I ask that the climate warriors have that discussion elsewhere? In all the years you’ve been carrying on this shouting match have you changed a single mind? It’s boring. I hate to wade through your dreck to read the other contributors here.
Don’t worry Dwight Snott is all over them, all uniformed wallys. Take goggle off them and they would struggle with the 5x table.
Yes Mr Snott! Your capacity to successfully discourage unsatisfactory commentary is quite remarkable.

Note the active graph in the right hand side bar, that indicates the extra heat sequestered in the oceans currently above pre industrial levels
Tedious isn’t it.
True….all of the scientific evidence in the world will not convince the deniers. They are not interested in the science…only the politics.
Agreed, Dwight. I can’t read JB without thinking of this:

Dwight. Speak for yourself. What makes you think you speak for anyone else? With your support of a sexual assault predator, racist bigot who is now showing signs of being a dangerous nationalist dictator do you really think your judgement is better than others here??
Like asking a dog not to piss on a lamp-post – they can’t help themselves.

Maybe if the world sat up and took notice and actually did something we would stop worrying about it, Dwight!! Head in the sand stuff
No-one is forcing you to read anything Dwight. Would you complain to your librarian that most of the books on the shelves are in your opinion redundant?
You have to wade through the dreck! Oh mah Gawd ya poor thang, it must be so exhausting.
Diddums diddums diddums.
Dismayed ,10:48pm,.. change to reputable scientists old chap , last line please!
Can’t get used to my Ipad ,fingers too large and over looked reading as usual . Tap into this stuff as I do , all stated in the reading.
The downhill slide of big Rod Culleton continues Mr insider as it now looks like he has a broken wrist, just as he was served with Bankruptcy papers. “Jesus H Christ” he yelled “I need a win any win”. Hang in there Rodney every cloud has a silver lining. Its just that Rod is in the middle of a Cyclone poor bastard. Maybe he might like to contact Cory Bernardi and join his new right wing fruitcake party/

With the festivities now over and Australia Day 26th Jan. looming, except in Freemantle, Mr Insider, maybe timely for those not Aussies to sign up with the greatest country on earth. Here’s our current Australian Citizenship Practice Test. We read big Pete Dutton, Minister for Immigration and Border Protection, has called for the citizenship test to be revamped, with a boosted focus on social integration and Australian values rather than “trivia” on history and government.

Things they said in 2016: “Renshaw like Maddinson is Not ready for test level.”
Now who said that?
Milton you again show you know NOTHING about cricket. The kid played a good knock. We will see what happens in India. The Pakistani team have not been at their best. You lack basic judgement abilities. Renshaw still has big flaws in his footwork. This will be exposed more an more.
just like ponting on the sub continent…can’t play for shit….
In Hindia
no one would be that dumb
Bella 09:28am .
Please Bella don’t involve yourself in that left wing bigot club calling a minister a racist after he along with Morrison letting out the last of Labors locked up kiddies 2000 near about .I call that passionate in my book and what proof do you have him as racist? He is acting on humanity grounds while you getting you false SHY information having NO credentials and a “total “bigot herself who now has been removed from that position spokesman on immigration mouthing off on lies thank heavens through incompetence .
This mob in stopped deaths at sea while your mob 1200 drowned and 8880 kids locked up by Labor.
You got to get out of that “hate club” Bella!
I am surprised you lower your levels like that Bella!
Forgot the cricket started today. Looks to be going well enough?
It gets tiring having to explain Climate Change to CC deniers.
The Pentagon & the UN & 97% of the world’s scientists take CC seriously. The other 3% are backed by the most powerful corporations on the planet. No matter in the end. The Earth has its own solution to the damage humans have caused & we are already seeing the start of the repercussions. Anyone ever see snow in an Oz Summer before?
Meanwhile Australian servility to Japan is an insult and embarrasment to every Australian citizen.
Slamming the Labor govt as usual when he was Shadow Environment Minister, Greg Hunt said “We’ve got blood in the water and a blind eye in Canberra and it’s completely unacceptable.”
Freidenberg now practicing his bowing technique as well.
Weak as water but we have the criminal poaching vessels on the run.
Whilst they’re running, they cannot kill whales. Pfft to Canberra.
