Free Trade And The Down Side. Ford At The End Of The Road In Australia
Friday October 7, 2016 was the end of the road for Ford in Australia. I wrote earlier this week that; "..upon signing, the various free trade deals, we always hear about the upside and all the benefits. They sell the idea of free trade and the upside as opening...
European commission tells British press not to use ‘Muslim’ to identify terrorists — American Thinker
ECRI has made 23 recommendations to make the U.K. into the politically correct paradise ECRI wants. Among them, the press should no longer mention the word “Muslim” when identifying terrorists. The problem with ECRI is its interpretation of “hate speech.” ECRI administrators appear to be saying that any speech that offends anyone is hate speech.
‘Behead, Burn, And Crush Gays’ Islamic Preacher To Deliver 10 Days Of Lectures In London — Beitbart
A "religion" of evil. But of course the question that should be directed to the British government is why are they allowing this creature, this low life bottom feeder, to incite hatred? If anyone else were to stand in the public square and say the same about any other...
GetUp and Soros — The Left’s foreign donors — Spectator

Random Note #195,735 — Green Energy
The sooner we begin to characterise and view the obsession with renewable energy, rabid environmentalism and climate change through the prism of religious belief and the tax payer subsidies to big wind and big solar as the equivalent of medieval Papal indulgences to...
What is it with these people? Gay hate preacher Sheik Shady, invited to dine at Kirrabilli House no less. This time it’s another imported Jewish hate preacher. Where’s immigration?
What is it with these people? These gate crashers at the feast of humanity. A few months ago it was gay hate speech by Sheik Shady, invited to dine at Kirrabili House no less. This time it’s Jewish hate speech. And there has been a stack of other instances of similar behaviour. Are these people shameless, stupid, criminal or all three? Are we seriously meant to believe that they don’t research their speakers before engaging them on a speaking tour and aren’t across their views and beliefs?
Random Note #183,641 — Life Immitating Art Immitating Life
Random note #183,641 You could hardly script the story of the daycare facility in Canberra operated by a former Sudanese refugee and populated by 74 phantom children and the inability of ham fisted bungling bureaucrats and authorities to have their interest piqued and...
Obesity is a personal responsibility, not a disease — The Australian, Gary Johns
I suspect that there is a link between the trajectory of a nation and a society and its flabby thinking, gluttony and obesity. Too good for too long. And now there’s a push by public health officials to have obesity categorised as a disease. As Gary Johns points out “..strictly speaking I am supposed to use the expression, “people with obesity”, rather than obese people. Spot the difference, it is not my fault..”

Mind bending — $1.6m handed to daycare business operator without proof of kids
What the???? How??? Uh??? The political class are simply buffoons….This is bordering on Monty Python’s Cheese shop or the hospital in Yes Minister that has no patients because in the end, it’s comforting to know it’s there when you’re not feeling well. This sentence makes the point “..there is no explicit requirement in federal legislation for a care provider to actually look after children..”
“..In an ACT civil proceeding involving Mr Aguer, the director of Long Life Family Daycare was unable to provide complete or accurate evidence to support his claim he employed educators nor any of the three support co-ordinators he ought to have had on his books. In multiple spot checks and arranged inspections, regulatory staff from the ACT Education Department were never able to confirm there were any children in care….”
