In this PC age, it will never happen of course, but an announcement by the NSW Government that forthwith, all police water cannon vehicles will have pig's urine added to the water might be a very good start to establishing workable crowd control measures in Sydney.

However, think of the howls and screams of outrage from the professionally permanently offended!:rolleyes: |
Adding soap and aiming it at the professionally offended should have the same effect.

I remember one of the Melbourne protests a few years ago where they camped in city square or somewhere close to it. Went on for a week or two and then enough was enough, the Police cleared them out. But what stuck in my mind from the photos was the sheer filth they were living in by the end and the way some of them looked. It was unbelievable that these protestors didn't know how to keep clean. I gather from various people that the smell was one of the reasons that the Premier said enough is enough. |
You beat me to it, Ken. For once, we find ourselves in complete agreement.
Labor seem to be doing a very good job (via their usual mouthpieces, Fairfax and the ABC) on sliming the Libs, the latest being the "Treasurer for sale" headlines about Joe Hockey. I understand that he is suing Fairfax, so that particular ploy might backfire, particularly if (when?) the Libs trot out clear evidence that Labor Ministers have been doing exactly the same thing since bloody Federation. Still, for all too many of the the Great Unwashed, all too ready to think the worst of "the Tories", the slime will stick - exactly as Labor knew it would when they quite consciously decided to use the tactic. The Libs really seem to be slipping into that place so many politicians go, the heady world where they are totally out of touch with the electorate. "There will be no (delete the 'carbon') tax under a government I lead" with Tony Abbott saying those words will be in our faces daily if he goes beyond kite flying the "levy" he has threatened to impose "temporarily" on "the rich". The fact that 99% of the people who will be most ("professionally?") outraged will not have to pay the tax will be totally overlooked. |
And now, just to even things up, Bill Shorten can be accessed for a fee: IMO pretty much everyone is hacked off with their major party of choice at the moment. Milling around at Labour Day confirmed to me that the general rank and file mood wrt to the ALP is disappointment, disillusionment and outright boredom. I get the feeling that Liberal/National types are also feeling the same way about their team. Of course most people will still vote for their team (and the pollies know that), but I don't think anyone's very enthusiastic about it. |
The time is certainly right for a new, middle of the road movement.
Pity we ended up with Clive Palmer. :ugh: |
This is sure to get two dad's goat up ! I must admit, it takes some balls to do this.
Australian navy turns back asylum seeker boat to Indonesia after loading three extra people "after the Australian navy reportedly put three extra people on board and then turned it back. People on board the wooden boat have told authorities in Indonesia that the Australian navy loaded two Albanians and one Indonesian onto the boat before sending it back to a remote island in eastern Indonesia. There is no further information about the extra passengers, but there is speculation that they may be the two asylum seekers who were taken to Christmas Island for “urgent medical treatment” after another tow-back operation in February. The third may be an Indonesian crew member." |
War in Australia (any Oz Politics)
Sarah will be in outrage overdrive and fronting up to every camera crew who will point a lens at her shocked and horrified visage. I was going say she'd be speechless, but we all know she'll be anything but that.

Re the Aust / Indonesian Political situation, a good piece in the Age / SMH
on the whole shebang and why it occurred etc etc. Quite informative. |
I listened to AM this morning. If they mentioned the turn back of the asylum seeker boat, I missed it. Maybe Sarah slept in and they couldn't get her in front of a microphone in time?
Ahh.. 9 o'clock news and it's the lead item. |
Was Two dad's on the news story ??????
I heard that Total WOS Lee Rhiannon yesterday :E |
People on board the wooden boat have told authorities in Indonesia that the Australian navy loaded two Albanians and one Indonesian onto the boat before sending it back to a remote island in eastern Indonesia. If they keep doing that we are going to need a lot more life boats.:E |

Ian RinTOOL suitably outraged on the ALPBC this morning

Who the hell is he ?

In that case, he is going to be squealing big time when the budget comes out
judging by the media reports about the "expected" cuts to the ABC Budget ! "ABC staff have been warned to prepare for painful budget cuts, job losses and the "tragedy" of the government scrapping the Australia Network international broadcasting service." Looks like they are softening up the staff having been given a "nudge, nudge, wink, wink" that this is what is going to happen so stop bitching about it and put a plan in place to cope ! Oh, how the left are going to squeal like stuck pigs on budget night as the sacred cow is slaughtered :ok: Read more: ABC staff warned: prepare for the worst" |
If one of the effects of cuts to the ALPBC budget is the axing of a few TV shows, I sincerely hope that anything starring Chris Lilley is one of them!:ugh:
|
I haven't read them but have you seen the article in the Age / SMH re Chris Lilley ?
I think they might have been asking was it all that good or was it racist or something from memory. |
