    "Staff at the Age protest over Trumpet of Patriots gender ad as Newcastle Herald apologises for running it
    The Newcastle Herald has apologised for publishing a front page ad from Clive Palmer’s new Trumpet of Patriots party which says “there are only two genders”, as journalists at the Age say they are “furious” the Melbourne newspaper has apparently accepted the same ad for publication."

    I did use the word free a bit flippantly, I've always believed if you think you are free, start saying no, see how that works out, but I ment you don't get chucked in a gulag for saying something "controversial", well not yet but the two nurses that want to send Jews to the promised land are testing the limits.

    Talking heads tend to attract fire, ask Kyle etc, read the room I guess, not every employer is gunna stick it out if it gets too hot, got to appease the masses, or should that be a noisy minority! 



    As long as you appeal to, or are liked by the noisy minority you're fine. Although they can, and occasionally do eat their own which is hugely enjoyable when it happens. The silent majority are too scared of being labelled racist, sexist, transphobic, homophobic, (insert your accusation here) to voice their honest opinion and too apathetic to do anything about it.

    Kyle Sandilands obviously makes huge money for his employers so he's more tolerable I guess. I'd bet he leaves a bad taste in some of their mouths though. His time will eventually come but I doubt he will care, he can sit back and enjoy his fortune.

    The two nurses have cast a huge doubt over their ethics with the very possibility that just maybe they were serious, who really knows? Either way I certainly wouldn't trust one of them looking after myself, or anyone really now. I doubt they will go to jail, but they've well and truly shit in their nest.

    I'm not religious, but God help us.

    Free country, at the moment anyway, it's now a terrorist event if you egg a tesla in the states, what a fuckin shit show that joint has become. Albo making the right call on the tariffs, good to see him step up and be an adult about that at least.

    At this stage we have no option but be bent over as Trump ain't picking up the phone to Albo. Lets see what tomorrow brings.

    Dutton reckons he would of got an exemption!

    Nothing like appearing delusional before an election!

    every country in the world is affected, no exceptions, and egg head Dutton thinks he is Mr. superior.

    Change is in the wind, division fuelled by real or perceived injustice, propaganda and outright lies is rife, whataboutism has replaced thoughtful debate, distrust and even outright hostility seems to be everywhere online, I don't know how that translates to the ballet boxes but the major parties have some work to do. I believe the independents and minor parties will play a big part in the next government, we are living in interesting times, hope they don't fuck up my super, I was banking on that as a large part of my retirement plan, may need to go into cash crops......

    Fuck, they're coming for me old aunty's tea towels. Never expected the Gestapo to be wanting those, better hide them with the other stuff.
    It's harder on only 2 acres, when I was on 150, or later 60, hiding stuff up near front gate was the way to go, by the time the Gestapo arrived at the house they were a long way from where they needed to look.
    And about the poor dental work, most of the country suffered from that. Neither of my parents had many teeth, the old man's fell out in Changi or on the Burma railway, dunno where my mums disappeared to.

    G'day,
    the orange turd wants a 3rd term in office. My offer/bet still stands, might increase the odds to 2 to 1.

    I remember this, when Donald was in his first term as POTUS Xi got the Chinese laws changed so he could be head honcho for life if he wanted, Donald said that was a fantastic idea and that "they" would have a look at that, nothing he does really surprises me, you can either see him for what he is or not but don't expect him to follow any precedence that would curb his or his backers ambitions, I bet more than a few yanks are questioning their choice of voting for him or not bothering to vote at all.

    i dont think many "would not bothering to vote at all" here also if it wasnt for the draconian voting laws....so instead everyone must turn up & sketch their best interpretation of a big dick & mozie on off again to do something more important in their day....

    Being compelled to do something you don't want to under threat of penalty is never going to sit well with a lot of us, but as I've got older and maybe a little more savvy I see some merit in compulsory voting, apathy can lead to disastrous outcomes, they should make it easier though, if I can get a fucking loan via an app surely I could cast a vote!

    Ive always believed that those that don't vote, or do a donkey vote, shouldn't whinge if the result isn't to their liking.

    your savvy as you'v got older does not correspond with the savy of majority of the world though does it.....172 odd or 85% counties with freedom to choose as opposed to just 23 or 13% compulsory - of which about a third of the 23% do not enforce it anyways....however apparently the law here within Oz does have good support - though its not what i have experienced with the kids etc...

    If that's how you want to interpret what I said have at it, I know where I'd rather live.

    The don says there will be a 10% minimum tariff on all Australian exports into the US, our fresh beef imports are to be banned from midnight US time tonight if you can believe what he says.
    They claim we exported 4.8 billion AU worth to them last year, that's gunna sting a bit, we don't import any fresh beef from them because it doesn't meet our standards!
    Apparently the US only makes up 5% of our total export dollars, I thought it was higher for some reason, still it's a rather unfriendly act on a country you have a free trade agreement with, not that I think any of that sort of shit matters with them anymore.

    Its pretty much a war now....(not physical but in an economic/social perspective) rest of the world vs. USA.  Fingers crossed they will be absolutely fucked when they realise just how unimportant they are and that the rest of the world has adjusted to their absence.  Its a new era of the 4th world country that used to be USA.

    One question that perplexes me is:  Just how fucking bad were the Democrats that they made Trump a viable option?  Trump we know is a fuckwit, but the Democrats cannot be too far behind if they dropped the ball so much to make him and Vance and the entire ToolKit a Plan-A option.
