Dutton Was The Most Unpopular Lib Leader Ever

A survey was released recently, which indicated that Peter Dutton was the most unpopular Lib leader ever. The results of the last federal election told us that pretty darn clearly, anyway. Australia was forced to stick with Albo, after the insane energy policies put forward by the Coalition under the auspices of Dutton’s leadership. Nuclear power, which would take hundreds of billions of dollars and decades to ever come to fruition. Plus, it would never complement renewable energy by the very nature of the way it works. You cannot just switch on and off nuclear power stations when you need them – they don’t operate like that. This batshit crazy idea of Dutton’s sunk his and the LNP’s credibility when it cane to energy and the economy.Continue Reading

The American Minimum Hourly Rate Disgrace

The US federal minimum hourly rate of $7.25 has not changed since 2009. That is 16 years; and have a think about how much stuff has gone up in that period. In Australia, the equivalent wage rate is $24.95. Even, with the dollar exchange rate factored in it is more than double. What kind of ‘so-called’ democracy gets away with exploitative shit like this? This is why many American families need food stamps (SNAP) and other forms of welfare because they allow greedy f****** employers to take advantage of vulnerable people. It is such a f***** up country that they look up to a king sized grifter like Donald Trump. The American minimum hourly rate disgrace.Continue Reading

5 Reasons Why Toxic Masculinity Is A Real Problem?

Don’t get defensive about this statement or I will punch your head in. 5 reasons why toxic masculinity is a real problem? Seriously though folks, it is, because it doesn’t just occur on the personal level it impacts across the whole spectrum. Vladimir Putin displays toxic masculinity via his actions invading Ukraine as the leader of Russia. The behaviour of the Russian President can only be described as toxic masculinity. Taking what you want violently against the wishes of another, when you know full well it is not yours to take.Continue Reading

Prince Andrew & The P Words That Cost Him His Title

Think about some of the words that start with ‘P’. Prince, power, penis, paedophile, perpetrator, prince, penis, power and paedophile. The ‘P’ words. Prince Andrew and the P words that cost him his title. Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, formerly known as Prince Andrew, has become the latest victim of the long running Jeffrey Epstein saga. Hang on, it might not be right to call him a victim, as he was, by all accounts a perpetrator. OK, perhaps, he is finally starting to get some of his just desserts. It is funny, peculiar, that a former prince is really the first powerful man, who was a customer of Epstein’s sex trafficking, to pay any kind of price for his morally wrong and possibly illegal behaviour. I mean, Epstein pimped and trafficked thousands of girls over a decade or two to lots of his wealthy male clients. Many of these girls were underage and most of them were ill used via a great capitalist imbalance of power. Rich men buying sexual favours from poor girls, who very likely were not getting a fair deal out of it, but Jeffery and Ghislaine likely were to their advantage.Continue Reading

The American Desire To Apportion Blame

You know every time that I turn on a screen I am confronted with the American desire to apportion blame. YouTube is full of vids raging against the machine. Ever since the late Robert Hughes identified America, as infected with the culture of complaint, this groundwave has continued to swell. Making something that you don’t like into a conspiracy has become a full time business. And yes, there are plenty of examples where this instinctive reaction is justified by the evidence compiled. It can, however, become a habitual response to everything in life that you don’t like.Continue Reading

The Hypocrisy Of Trump

Hang on, didn’t the Right campaign on the evils of cancel culture??? Donald Trump and MAGA banged on about those on the Left limiting free speech. Now, in power the Trump regime is using its authority to effectively stifle Liberal comediennes like Jimmy Kimmel and getting the Late Show cancelled. Trump’s nutjob cabinet are threatening all and sundry with arrest for saying stuff they do not agree with. The hypocrisy of Trump is heinous. They are using this bogus antisemitism false flag to attack academics and students in US universities. Threatening them with ICE agents and taking away their right to live and work in the United States.Continue Reading

Economics Is Anti-Community

Have you noticed that we have all become economists over the last 30 odd years? That economic-speak has become the lingua-franca of our modern world? We talk about the supply and demand of things, the dollar value of everything, and make all our decisions based upon economic principles to a large degree. This has not always been so. Prior to the American conversion to all things economic, which began with the Rand Corporation in the 1960s, governments and ordinary people did not bang on about economics. Economics is founded upon certain assumptions about individual behaviours driven by self-interest. Indeed, economics is anti-community.Continue Reading

Israel Killing Palestinian Children Enmasse

Israel is a worsening problem for Palestinians and the world. This festering boil in the Middle East has reached a critical stage. The inhumanity of the Netanyahu regime toward Gazans continues unabated. Israel killing Palestinian children enmasse. Starving women, men and children to death, following killing more than 60, 000 Palestinians by bombing the shit out of Gaza is beyond the pale. Hamas may have started this latest conflict but killing so many innocent people is unacceptable. What we are witnessing is the racism of the world writ large, where Arab life is considered less important than our own. America backing the Netanyahu led Israel throughout this conflict is testament to this.Continue Reading

The Epstein Files & Donald Trump

You know how this whole thing works, don’t you? Rich elite men preying upon young girls for sex. Jeffrey Epstein, the pimp, and Ghislaine Maxwell the groomer of young girls. He dangles the bait, the ripe fresh meat, in front of the billionaire or politician. He whispers in the ear of Mister Magnificent, ”you are the big swinging dick and you deserve this.  Rules are not for people like us, we are above all that.“ What do you get for the man who has everything? Illicit sex with minors. Success breeds contempt. The Epstein files and Donald Trump are at the nub of the celebrated American billionaire factory.Continue Reading

man waving flag

The fact that private property has been damaged and graffiti daubed on walls in a couple of Australian cities means these are law and order issues. Australia does not have an antisemitism problem on this basis. Talk about political manipulation and overreach. We have police forces capable of adequately dealing with these relative few instances of criminal damage. Most Australians know that there is a protest movement engaged in drawing attention to the genocide being committed by Israeli forces in Gaza, where more than 50, 000 Palestinians have been killed by the IDF. Passions are high among the Australian Arab population and younger Aussies more generally – this is understandable in light of what is going on.Continue Reading
