PC rubbish an affront to Kokoda Veterans — Miranda Devine, Daily Telegraph
You'd expect this to be front page in the Tele and right across all media. You'd expect the Prime Minister to be all over the media this morning saying in effect that "..my instructions to the department will be that this is to be reversed with immediate effect.." No...
A Repost From August 2016 On Bill Leak
Random Note #195,631 — Bill Leak
Thinking more about Bill Leaks cartoon and the cartoons of others down through the years reminds me of various teachers of a bygone era who would grab students by the shoulders and momentarily shake them. The idea was to get their attention. To get them to wake up, focus and concentrate. The lazy left are the attention deficient disorder students at the back of the national classroom and similarly deserve a metaphorical shake up, slap about and wake up by way of a simple image to get them to concentrate and focus instead of mentally goofing off and gazing out the window imagining a dreamtime cultural nirvana with images of the noble savage dancing in their heads.
Random Note #178,531 — Comedy and Rules for Radicals
This brings me to Bill Leak and it seems to me that what’s becoming more and more apparent is that what the left, like Gillian Triggs and Tim Soutphomasane of The HRC and the behaviour exhibited by the panel and the audience on Q&A this week point to, and is driving them insane, is that Leak had the ability to turn Alinsky’s rule number 4 back on the left, which is not the way it’s meant to be.
New arrogance takes hold among Labor and its union cohorts — David Crowe, The Australian
I get the suspicion the references in the second last paragraph about the banking industry and “..forcing the big four to divest their funds management or financial advice arms..” more about tilling the soil and creating an environment for the unions to move in and become major players in the sector as they’ve done in the superannuation sector. They can’t survive with union membership of around 15% or less in the private sector so they have to diversify to fund the cause. What better way than too have your political wing gift you with unlimited access to the honey pot.
Sun Has Set On Greens Dreams — Graham Richardson, The Australian
The blind pursuit of ridiculous renewable energy targets is a Greens push adopted by Labor and now works against them both. Flim-flam won’t replace solid policy. The Greens led the South Australian Premier down the road to ruin and he acquiesced too quickly. The lights have gone out on South Australians several times now and the state Liberals, as pathetic as they appear to be, will no doubt turn the lights out on the Weatherill government at the next election.
Tillerson tells UN Human Rights Council: Reform or US will leave — American Thinker
To allow countries like Iran, Cuba, Venezuela, and China to sit in judgment on any country’s human rights record is beyond absurd. Somehow, the UNHRC never gets around to examining the human rights record of most of those states and, instead, concentrates its fire on the U.S. and Israel – two of the most liberal, tolerant democracies in the world.
McManus And The Unions
Interesting that McManus should be speaking out about the lawlessness of the unions. From The Australian 12 months today
What Thinking Australian Are Thinking — Sally McManus and the Unions
"..Using the ACTU’s reasoning, employers should now be able to disobey employment laws that don’t suit them, laws that they deem to be unfair and unjust. Those of us against section 18C and laws relating to so-called racial discrimination should now go about offending...
Random Note #132,673 — South Australia, A Dilapidated Theme Park
Random Note #132,673 The latest novelty ride emanating from the fertile, albeit, desperate mind of South Australian Premier Jay Weatherill reminds me of a fairground, a theme park attraction that people stopped coming to 15 years ago. Clapped out rusting attractions...
