Re: Straya!
Have you heard of egg-boy? He cracked one on our (now ousted) fascist Senator's head, like so:
After Senator Fanning's minders punched him around for a bit, he was charged with assault. Two lots of go fund me pages were started up to help eggboy's defence in court, but the beak just fined him a dollar and did not record a conviction. By then almost $100,000 had accumulated for the defence that turned out to be superfluous. Yesterday that money, $99,922.36 to be exact, was donated to the Christchurch Foundation and Victims Support.

I'm sure that will bring joy to Fraser Anning's heart...

Re: Straya!
A great gesture, particularly in light of the Islamophobic Fraser Anning.

Re: Straya!
Someone ought to congratulate him. After all, had Anning not been available for the egging, the Christchurch Foundation and Victims Support would have had $99,922.36 less to help the affected Muslim families out with.

Re: Straya!
I think they refer to those with a living child. Not thr one being executed.

Why ???Scott Morrison on Iran: We'll 'seriously' consider any US request to join military action
Is a nuclear Iran a threat to Australia now too? You guys do realize that being an ally does not in any way commit you to participating in wars of aggression that we start, don't you?

Re: Straya!
If only 42 was around. I had a debate with him a couple of years ago about how liberals are basically conservatives. Part of my reasoning was how liberals and conservatives often vote together - see UK in the past, and in the case of Australia they occupy the same party (the Liberal Party). This was while Abbott was PM, i.e. an arch conservative leading the liberal party. 42 wouldn't accept that there are liberals in the party, despite me mentioning Malcolm Turnbull and Tim Wilson, as two examples. Pointing out to him that Tim Wilson was the federal Freedom Commissioner before he jumped ship and joined the Liberals wasn't enough for him to accept that the Liberal Party is a collection of both liberals and conservatives. Well today, at the swearing in of the new parliament, Tim Wilson swore in on a copy of Milton Friedman's Capitalism And Freedom. But yes, Tim Wilson isn't a liberal. He's a secret conservative pretending to be a liberal...

Re: Straya!
I'm getting a bit sick of Straya, specifically the political and civic stupidity of the population. I'd much prefer to live under the politics of northern Europe, but would hate the weather and overpopulation. I wish we'd just smarten the fuck up here. Tax cuts and national security overreach are what have me grumpy at the moment.
