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.
Kill the poor! This video would send chills down the Left’s backs. Leaked Government footage.

Hilarious! Thanks Dwight
Yeah, terrified. Idiot.
Gryzly – if you get a chance can you check that I haven’t accidentally exited from the tipping comp. Thanks.
Are these fair facts?:

You’d you astonished how much outrageous bullshit you believe to be fact if you ever sat down and worked it out.
People believe what they want to believe, ridiculous things make sense to them if it fits with an established narrative of bullshit.
Question everything.
Hence POTUS Trump ahead of the pack as always, Mr Baptiste, with his “fake news” claims. You and he on the same wavelength my friend. Cheers.
Different thing altogether Enery. Trump arbitrarily decides what is true and what isn’t.
Things are out of control. Now it’s blinking female at traffic light crossings! Who cares what’s blinking for God’s sake – the object is to cross the road
Settle petal, you can still cross the road.
I was just reading this very morning that at the time of the British invasion of this continent, women were being burnt at the stake in London for counterfeiting coins. They were hanged or garrotted first but then burnt at the stake before the crowds of onlookers.
Male counterfeiters were simply hanged.
Go figure.
Well I’m relieved to hear that JB. I thought I would have to wander around looking for a pink flashing person at the lights before I could get across the road!
RE: crime and punishment – it’s because men were exclusively in charge in those days JB. Maybe they felt threatened? Hehe
Of course they felt threatened, fear of women’s sexual capacity thus any breach of the law by women was linked to witchcraft and heresy.
A great many men are still threatened by women.
Anyway, you can still cross the road. Just pretend it’s a blinking man.
I think they should be multiple variations, for diversity’s sake. I vote for a hermaphrodite three-toed sloth.
What about the gender neutral folks? How will they get across the street safely?
Won’t someone please think of the children?
Fair enough, but I think you’ll find that last rhetorical question is a favourite among those who insist there are exactly two permitted genders and that this must be enshrined in law.
Never saw the Simpsons, eh?
Indeed I have, but it seems many anti-SSM, anti-Safe School campaigners and the like haven’t caught those particular episodes. Either that, or they think Helen Lovejoy has a rather good point.
The best comment I’ve seen Bo was from a bloke who said thank God for the introduction of female characters on walk signs. His mother has been standing on the same street corner for 29 years waiting for her turn to cross.
Oh good – I’ll have someone to talk to then!
i challenge the presumption that the little green man is a man at all, it’s simply someone not wearing a skirt, she might have dashed out of the house in a hurry, or may prefer to wear trousers.
and if the new figure is wearing a skirt, why is it a woman. it could be a trans, or a scot, or a fijian for that matter.
No man, woman or gender neutral figure here, they just have the number of seconds you have to cross the road and the motorcycles don’t stop anyway
Whatever sex they are they’re not blinking but winking at me! It’s a curse, it really is.
Poo and fiddle sticks in the cricket. I hope we don’t hang our heads but stir up for the next one. Surely Kohli is motivation enough for us?!
Leaked Liberal Party polling in WA, Mr Insider, shows Premier Colin Barnett heading for the Opposition benches after Saturdays State election in a huge way. Tying in a One Nation preference vote has had what appears to be a massive negative effect. One Nation imho is a poorly led party for airheads and despite silly statements from the likes of Arthur Sinodinos that they are a changed party from 20 years ago they are on track with the same divisive policies as before, only the targets have changed. Arthur you should no better buddy!

Well done, Air India! First round the world flight crewed entirely by women!
Wow superb Boadicea. The NASA Space Shuttle a couple of times had a female Commander too.
Ah, but did she have a couple of token males on the crew, HB?? Wouldn’t surprise me
Couldn’t they land it? (Or couldn’t find the destination cos they had to read a map!) 😛
perhaps they were looking for an easy spot to park, cue the parking jokes, they are oldies but goodies, which reminds me of a tweet i saw yesterday.
i live in constant fear that Trump will deport my Latina mother-in-law who lives at 1837 3rd St, LA90023, blue house, she gets off work at six.
That’s a keeper, I love a good mother-in-law joke.
And speaking of mother-in-laws, I haven’t spoken to mine in weeks. It’s not that I don’t like her, it’s just that I don’t like to interrupt.
How long did it take to park the plane in the bay on arrival? Just as well they didn’t have to reverse park.
Sheesh Lou, – careful!! I’ll have you know that I used to reverse my yacht into a pile berth at the marina!! And I never even hit anyone – so there. A Boeing can’t be that much different can it? At least they have blokes waving tabletennis bats around with planes……
Yeah Bo, like trying to park a 38 footer in a bay at RPYC after a twighlight sale with the Fremantle Doctor at full blast. One of the girls on board tried to fend off with her hand, nearly lost it.
Do you like Pina Coladas, being caught in the rain? Not when I have to park the bastard!

OMG What a fantastic link.!
AMAZING on International Women’s Day JB.

ahh, no mate the job of infantry is generally to engage the enemy and kill them, not to nurture their sensitivities.

“Crush your enemies. See them driven before you. Hear the lamentations of their women.”
Their job is to kill our enemies. Period.
When the word “period” appears at the end of a sentence that already has one, I sometimes wonder if it’s intended as an explanation for why the author is so grumpy.
I’m no expert on military matters but I would have thought that generally their job is to achieve military objectives: defend or invade territory, quell demonstrations, that sort of thing. I don’t see any reason why they would have have to be arseholes to each other to get that job done.
Of course it may involve killing, but surely it’s better if you can do it without? And better still, without earning the eternal hatred of the local population? For example, if you march in and the other side has already surrendered, isn’t killing them a) a waste of bullets, b) a war crime and c) really bad PR?
Mate I’ll sign you up for the next Aussie taskforce, armed well as you will be with your iPad and brilliant non confrontational negotiating outcomes skills to pacify aggressively war like tenancies in oppositional foreign natives, who simply don’t understand the negativity their hostile aggressive tendencies have had on the warm loving nature of the peaceful angels arriving in their midst.
Mbulla.
I’m not sure what that comment was replying to, but it’s hard not to picture you in a pith-helmet.
I see the women folk all got together and had a “comforting” feminist chat on the ABC’s Q & A show this evening. The discourse caused my thoughts to drift to one of Professor Henry Higgins’s famous lines in the musical stage play and film. “My Fair Lady”.
But I daren’t post it on here.
You seem very anti women honey been jilted at the altar sweetie?
“Why cant a woman be more like a man!” Oh, you’re gay, or want to be! Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
Well picked JB. I have no problem with that. But mankind wpukd I guess.
It seems that one doesn’t even need a sprat to catch a mackerel nowadays, JB.
You’re floundering, me old mate.
Bit touchy there Carlotta?
Had my life explained to me by the other half. “You’re a man’s woman Lulu, women don’t get you and you don’t like them”. Raised by 500 blokes, understandable.
Cheers.
Ps . Barnaby making sense. Bugger.
M Cash couldn’t remember she owned next door? Rubbish. Didn’t we throw the book at some bloke not long ago for the same thing? Another corrupt pollie who thinks she is special.
And no, I don’t think I have to support her because she is a woman. The age of entitlement is over you dogs, figure it out!
Now where did I leave that $1.5 million house? I thought it was here somewhere!
Pray tell us, Carl. We’re big girls.
I dunno why our blokes don’t bowl bumpers anymore…..the curry munchers hate ’em. 2 tall fast bowlers not using one of their most potent weapons.
Bumpers? Crikey, takes me back.
So does “curry munchers”!
