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.
I’m guessing Fine Young Cannibals are safe from PETA?
So long as they’re not having a ball, Milton.
What to do about Pussy Riot Milton?
Smith has to get SOK on the tighten things up, runs coming too easily.
Wade twice already has been too quick to stand up and missed catching opportunities. The second one went through to Smiths left hand. Had Wade stayed low the balls would have hit his gloves. This was the big concern with his keeping. Australian under pressure already with the lead almost gone and only 1 wicket down.

Russian news, Smoke. A tad unreliable without corroboration.
yeah
waiting waiting
GM leaves Europe?
There we have it. I only make the cmment RT is generally unreliable. Too often shriekers for the Putin propaganda machine

It’s true
The larger and more important question is: Why are attractive young women so often photographed perched on the bonnet of new cars, showing off their nylon tights?
It is utter discrimination against old farts with hairy legs.
Time to start a protest movement I say.
Extra work for everybody because we would need a ladder to get on to the bonnet.
Because stupid men like to perv and they run the world.
I knew it!
Now if that Porsche 911 in the window had a near naked man perched on the bonnet instead of a chick, I’d definitely buy it. 🙂 as long as the guy came with the car.
Because they are the only ones who can get up there Carl.
BTW, the Holden brand sits in the Opel Europe organisation, so stay tuned for one of those floating ugly Citroens to be released here with the last of the hot Holden V8’s. The motor would probably leave the soap derby chassis behind. No girl in nylon would be seen sitting on a Citroen.
Careful for what you wish 🙂
From my man in the White House. Donald is about to explode! He will tough it out, but it’s clear now that the phone taps were authorised by one Feodor Baryshnikov Ivanovich of 2650 Wisconsin Avenue, Washington DC.
Bugs throughout the Trump offices (they are keeping this quiet for the moment ) just discovered, were put in place by a Lapp dancer from Rublyovka, who had the run of the place. That doesn’t seem to make sense but Trump is prepared to strike Lappland with force just short of nuclear unless Joe Trudeau makes a full public confession of the details of the complicity between Canadian Secret Service black ops and Russian Intelligence.
Expect news of a Canadian Wall before the end of the week. Or a Finnish Wall, Joe (the other one) has Trump looking at an atlas as we speak.
Meanwhile any adult shorter than five foot tall with slightly Asiatic features planning on entering the US right now should forget it.
Donald is the “Teflon Kid” I do believe, Mr Baptiste, he loves to throw a few “curly ones” as a distraction that at the time suits his purpose. I do like your amazing theories there my good fellow, a real Sherlock Holmes you are. Trump just 6 weeks into a possible 8 year term, this will all blow over and him being like no one else we have ever seen in politics b4, will continue to flourish. That Mexican Wall due for commencement “any day now”. Cheers. P.S. Announcing another Moon landing would be a great distraction too!
“Teflon Kid” , true Henry, the bloke’s marbles are in a bingo barrel, it will be like trying to pin runny snot to a wall with a needle. If he isn’t as mad as a box of frogs now, the pressure will get him there soon.
If you have read “The Psychology of Military Incompetence” right about now you’ll wish you hadn’t. Trump really is the classic arrested development authoritarian narcissist who will blow the world up before confronting his own incompetence.
“Let us join hands here today and pray for a sudden conclusive cardiac event”.
Well, I for one am relieved your man in the WH is keeping us informed. What a ride! You just can’t make this shit up can you Jean?
So, if I may conclude, it appears things are becoming a tad complicated for the Donald & he just doesn’t realise you can’t piss everyone off.
I reckon the US Intelligence Community will eat him alive, bit by bit, but he won’t see it coming because his ego thinks he’s bigger than them.
Keep ’em coming, Bella
Give ’em heaps Bella.
Oh dear Michaela Cash forgot about her $1.4 million property when declaring her assets. Easy to overlook I guess.
Well, as it was a mortgage on the property next door to her own residence, it is a startling loss of insight at least.
I woke up this morning & I suddenly remembered I own the house next door! Silly me, I just forgot.
“Loss of insight”? Nah, just dishonest.
Maybe she only declares Cash assets?
She didn’t forget to negatively gear it though.
Glad my P is back
Enny P will do fine.
Of course she did. Pfft
Are they all hooked into rorting the system or what?
Endemic Bella
Ex ousted PM, 30 consecutive negative Newspolls, Tony Abbott positioning to take back the PMship from “current” PM Turnbull, so writes Tom Switzer in the SMH today, Mr Insider. That surely would be the bad being replaced by the shockingly bad! The Federal Liberal Party a complete mess and it looks to be only going to get worse. Labor must be rubbing their hands together with glee.

I think it’s time that they admit the leadership is not their problem – it’s the whole party
Agree 100% Trivalve.
When you have no real agenda other than signing FTA’s with every country on the planet, one runs out of ideas really quickly.
The way they burn through leaders is alarming – 2 very good ones in NSW for starters.
I think they have lost their way totally.
They all want the big Australia with 200,000 immigrants a year but when it comes to planning how to house them, how to provide hospital care, how to extend the over extended infrastructure etc they are strangely silent.
They really have no idea and no blue print for the future of this country other than an economy based on services, agriculture and mining. Without industry we are stuffed.
Yeah but, isn’t the almighty private sector supposed to take care of all that?
They are the ones that want large scale immigration but do not want to pick up the tab.
The private sector finds the going tough when every nutcase in Canberra wants to close you down and cannot even guarantee a reliable power supply..
They have ideas. The problem is that they’re not related to our real problems, and are indistinguishable from those of the opposition.
We was Robb ed. “Of course, there are other potential gremlins lurking in the ChAFTA. For example, Australia agreed to allow Chinese companies building projects in Australia to bring in Chinese workers on 457 visas, effectively continuing its program of deregulating labour migration and under-cutting Australian workers’ pay and conditions.”

They would get away with it for about 10 minutes Dismayed before thwhole country was in uproar.
In the Australian no less. Silicon can be used for all sorts of things Milton.

Nah not me JS. I might stand there in a magnificent ancient rainforest down here, amongst trees thousands of years old, and admire them, heck, even be awestruck, but haven’t noticed them talking to each other yet!!
Besides which, anyone who pronounces forest as ”fourest” has lost me straight away!
Probably because they see you coming!
They love me JB. It’s mutual.
Of course they love you. They are just too shy to tell you.
Mind you, if you cop a branch or a big nut on your melon you’ll be heartbroken at least.
Many Canadians believe trees have feelings.
Not my Canadian friends JS, one was a lumberjack (and he’sOK) before he went into academia. He got a bit sick of us singing the Monty Python song though
