The Circle in trouble

A hate campaign is being waged against the talking head idiots from the Circle as a result of the brainless comments they made about Cpl Ben Roberts-Smith, VC. The hate campaign comes as calls build for Stynes to quit the Ten morning show in light of the offensive remarks directed at Corporal Ben Roberts-Smith by

Abbott Vs Gillard

A comparative table sent me by reader Bob S. It’s a bit tongue-in-cheek but by and large it’s not far off the mark. I’m sure readers can think of more comparisons. [ws_table id="1"]

Australia Day Awards

BY and large I have no argument with Australia Day honours but these two did attract my atenttion. Public Service Medal (PSM) Martin Gerard BOWLES, Yarralumla ACT. For outstanding public service in delivering highly successful energy efficiency policies and remediation programs for the Home Insulation and Green Loans programs. One wonders if he would have

How to reload your loved ones

AKA Ashes to ammo. A good friend of mine died and we cremated him in Mooloolaba. Before he died we were talking about what to do with his ashes. As he had spent most of his working life in Sydney he wanted them thrown over the Gap with all his Sydney friends present. We both

Football

With both my preferred AFL and NRL teams out of play I’m going for Collingwood and Manly. I courted my bride of 41 years at Manly and I just heard on radio that they are silvertails and underdogs – that’ll do me. Collingwood because everyone, other than the rusted on supporters, appear to hate them.

Indigenous issues

Filthy…unwashed…alcoholics… A couple from Melbourne being confronted with Aborigines for the first time. Camped at Kununarra I can’t really disagree other than to say I have come across some who aren’t like that. They are shocked and obviously haven’t been out of their suburban comfort zone before now.

Jim’s ANZAC Day tweet

Published on Monday, 2 May 11 by in General Musings

@JimWallaceACL Just hope that as we remember Servicemen and women today we remember the Australia they fought for – wasn’t gay marriage and Islamic! Jim’s timing maybe out and the tweet certainly isn’t PC but it is a correct statement.

Amazing! East Timor isn’t the answer.

AUSTRALIA’S controversial plan for a refugee processing centre in East Timor was effectively taken off the agenda before last night’s opening of the Bali ministerial summit, with senior officials making it clear the proposal would not form part of the final discussions. Who actually believed it would ever happen? From the day Gillard announced the
