  1. I must admit while I never thought much of her, I never realised she was this truly evil.

  2. As if JK Rowling would give a toss about what some nobodies at a NZ Book festival think or do.

  3. Message to Oran. No "reasonable person" HATES someone just because they have a different political view on life to themselves. A reasonable person simply 'disagrees' with the other's perspective.

  4. Just watched the full interview. Bret Baier did a first class job, despite Harris trying to 'word salad' talk over him constantly. All Harris did was highlight her limited intellect, and inability to answer the most fundamental of questions.

  5. When a person of an older generation asks 'where are you from' anyone with an insight knows what they are really asking is 'what is your ethnic background'. A perfectly normal and reasonable question, especially if someone is dressed in ethnic attire. As a white male I've been asked many time in my life where my ancestors immigrated to Australia from.

  6. I don't even understand what the controversy is??? A group are illegally blocking the road, and the police do exactly what they are being paid to do by clearing the blockade and arrest the criminals. What exactly is the issue??? Lost on me.

  7. Harrison Ford, according to the internet, owns several VERY large mansions, about a dozen motorcycles (petrol powered), a helicopter and about a dozen fixed wing aircraft. It looks like you'd struggle to find many people on the planet with a bigger 'carbon footprint'. Only people owning all the above plus a massive super yacht could outdo him.

  8. And this demonstrates Australia is not a democracy. Poll after poll has shown the vast majority of Australians do NOT want a 'big Australia'. But the elites in control just ignore this fact. Australia's wealth is due to a fixed quantity of natural resources benefiting a relatively small population. Increase the population and everyone's share just gets smaller.

  9. Perfectly healthy young people catching covid is a positive thing. They will at most get a runny nose, and from the experience develop natural immunity to future variants that is VASTLY superior to anything than comes in a syringe.
    157
  10. The full interview is most certainly worth watching. Besides being very informative, its worth watching just to see two very intelligent people skillfully discussing controversial issues.
    149
  11. A rare win for the good guys. Novak your a TRUE champion.
    133
  12. The only "challenge" we are facing is the ongoing stupidity and overreaction of politicians, media class, and health officials.
    132
  13. In this discussion Stephen Conroy removed any doubt he is just a total clown.
    131
  14. A bloke who had some skill hitting a leather ball with a bit of glorified timber. Why cares what he says or thinks.
    128
  15. I don't understand why Lidia Thorpe wasn't ejected from the room by the Deputy President. People get ejected for way less all the time. Is there a special treatment for people who identify as Indigenous?
    111
  16. Standing on polling booths for 2 weeks you get a lot of people come up to you and tell you why they just voted 'No". I was actually surprised just how well so many people actually understood the implications if 'the voice' were to have got up. So 'yes' campaign, no matter how well you could have run your campaign, you still would of failed because people understood the 'product' was a dud.

  17. Gladys now receiving 'health advice' from the police. Suppose it can't be any worse than what Kerry Chant dreams up.
    104
  18. Just got back from an extended trip around the remote coastline of South Australia and Victoria. There is hardly a remote place you're standing watching the wild Southern Ocean that these monstrosities are either right behind you, or sprawled out along the ridge line of a distant headland. And the plan is to put more of them out to sea!!! These things are the ULTIMATE in environmental vandalism.
    102
  19. This is so serious ALL those at the ABC who were involved, even just knowing about it, need to be sacked.
    95
  20. Anyone not wise enough to know how to use Twitter isn't wise enough to be giving advice to other people. Jordon, some free advice on when its appropriate to use Twitter .... NEVER!
    94
  21. Andrews has ZERO credibility to lecture people about being "irresponsible". It was his irresponsibility that created whatever problems there are in the first place.
    93
  22. Australia would have handled covid VASTLY better had Tony Abbott still been PM.
    92
  23. I should have been supporting the independently owned local IGA store more, it sells just about everything Coles and Woolworths do (often a bigger range). This will inspire me to spend more of my money with IGA.
    90
  24. Chris, you should have played more of the AG's reply. Other bits are even funnier. She gives Ms Thorpe 3 bits of advice 1. Get you facts right (that's the bit in your video) 2. Don't play with your phone the whole time you are in a meeting up here, people notice, and 3. When you go to visit a remote settlement take the time to dress appropriately and NOT like a Southern tourist on their dry season holiday (people need to see a photo of how she was dressed to fully appreciate that bit). The NT AG is obviously a very talented, and funny lady.

  25. The LGBTQI professional trouble makers (that's exactly what they are) got EXACTLY what they deserved. The invited trouble, they tried to 'cancel' Mark Latham from speaking, and they get the trouble they were seeking. Only this time it was them that got 'cancelled'. Well done 'bros'.
    84
  26. Asked by a journalist in toady's press 'conference' "Kerry, how many people in hospital were vaccinated?". Answer: "I don't know". Yes you do Kerry. You are either a liar, or totally incompetent if you really don't know, take your pick.
    83
  27. Makes perfect sense. Always thought that a lot of 'rats' have been heavily involved with covid.
    81
  28. Without video of what led up to this altercations its impossible to say who is right/wrong. But I must admit I haven't got a lot of time for Qantas staff after the way they were so vigorously enforcing stupid and pointless COVID rules.

  29. The longer this matter goes on without a vote, the more people are realising what it's REALLY about. Reparations, sovereign nations, an elitist left wing power grab, etc. THAT is why support for the yes case is sinking like a stone, and the reason Albanese didn't want the plebs to know the details. Unfortunately for him the real motivation is slowly revelling itself to the majority of Australians, and they don't like it.
    80
  30. While totally opposed to the Governments proposed 'misinformation' Bill, anyone who thinks mass scale censorship/gaslighting isn't already taking place on social media (this VERY forum) or on mainstream media (The Outsiders itself) is VERY naive.

  31. Jacki, let me explain it to you. The activist class behind 'the voice' are now no longer interested. The only real goal was the national unelected 'House of Lords' (the voice) to which these activists would appoint themselves. From there they would have been able to control nearly every facet of government and the public service. Everything else e.g. regional and local 'voices', and helping aboriginal on the ground, was just pure spin in order to attain the desired prize. They NEVER had any interest in grass roots issues, with or without 'the voice'.

  32. Where else would you send someone who has illegally enter your country, but straight into detention. Can't understand the controversy???

  33. I'm a shareholder in Westfarmes, as well as 3 of the 4 major banks. As a no voter, what right do the employees of MY companies have to distribute MY money to a campaign I strongly resent? Answer: None! It's the shareholders money, NOT the executive level employees or the Board members. If shareholders want to donate to the yes campaign they can do it from the dividends they receive.
    72
  34. I actually feel slightly better at being an Australian, knowing that at least some people still exist who are willing to stand up to the present government authoritarianism.
    71
  35. Since the day Albanese was elected he dropped the pretense of 'Mr Nice Guy' and started to be his true grubby self. Without exaggeration he is the grubbiest PM we have had in my lifetime, which dates back to Robert Menzies.
    69
  36. Seemingly Brad Hazzard thinks he knows more about covid than the experts at the World Health Organisation (who do NOT support boosters for the healthy general population). While many may question the ability of the WHO regarding covid, Michael Ryan (the person leading the WHO's response to covid) seems a VERY capable and qualified person. Michael Ryan does NOT support mass booster programs.
    67
  37. In quitting 'The Australian' Niki Savva has made her greatest contribution to journalism ever.
    66
  38. Translation: No bad covid news for Australia, no one has died for quite some time, only 22 people in hospital, no one in intensive care in the WHOLE of Australia. So I need to report what is happening overseas.
    65
  39. I fully support Steven Miles for the Premiership. The LAST thing Queensland needs after the next election is a minority Labor/Greens alliance government. So with Steven heading up the team the chances of being totally smashed and put into Opposition increase significantly.
    63
  40. Scott Morrison plays the ukulele about on a par with his management of Australia.
    62
  41. What they just forgot to mention is that around 1700 people die on average every day of the week in the UK.

  42. I watched most of the debate, Mike Pence as I expected eat her for breakfast. She is such a lightweight. But what I though was interesting was watching The Drum on the ABC tonight. This crew are so manipulative and dishonest they were claiming it was Kamala Harris who won the debate. Among all their praise for how well she as a black woman had, against all the odds, performed against the privileged white male, she was supposedly 'elegant and measured' (I just saw someone constantly grinding their teeth in anger and pulling stupid faces). I though I was watching a future President of the USA today, and it wasn't Kamala Harris. If anything she has completely sunk any chance Joe Biden had by showing who the people are really voting for when they vote for sleepy Joe.

  43. "Bigger and Better"???? Just why is bigger better Nicholas? There were only 13 Million people when I was a teenager, half what it is now, and as far as I'm concerned it was WAY better then. All a bigger population has brought is congestion and made housing nearly unaffordable for a whole generation. Just wait till the 1/3 of Australians that will now be forced to rent for the whole of their life hits retirement. There is no more certain indicator of poverty than to reach retirement and not own a home. Welcome to future third-world Australia.

  44. I woke up just the other morning thinking I am truly living in a dystopian nightmare, the stuff of futuristic movies only a few years ago. Masks to be warn just to go for a walk, a nightly curfew, only allowed out for 1 hour, no visitors, police cars patrolling the streets and parks, a demand to see my papers wherever I go. A dystopian nightmare is EXACTLY what an 'LGA of concern' in Sydney has become.

  45. In my lifetime I've seen Australia go from a place where one wage earner and the other choosing to stay at home and look after the kids could afford to buy a reasonable house in a capital city. They would also own a car, go on annual holidays, and acquire the usual things of life. NOW, a working couple are lucky to scrape together enough for the deposit on a small unit. Are we serious having to question if there may have been a decline in living standards!!!!
    55
  46. The polling both I was involved with on election day was MASSIVELY overstaffed. Most of the staff had virtually nothing to do all afternoon such were the low numbers of people coming in. Around 3.00pm when I went inside to drop off a form, I've never seen a more bored looking lot of people in my life. They could easily have handled the workload with around half the staff.

  47. Stan is so representative of the activist class. Privileged, wealth, powerful, just as much European heritage as aboriginal, 4 children all to 'white' high profile spouses ...... and spends all his time bitching how hard it is for 'his people' to get ahead in Australia. Stan is VASTLY more privileged than the 'average' Australian.
    53
  48. "Moral Narcissists" perfect description of so many of the left-wing 'woke' brigade.
    53
  49. Germany has restarted 27 coal fired power plant. That's more than the total operating in the whole of Australia (16). Austria, France, Italy, and the Netherlands have also announced their plans to restart coal fired power plants.
    51
  50. I watched much of the National Press Club address on the ABC. The whole time I was watching it I kept thinking to myself the bigots and gas-lighters on SkyNews are going to go apeshit over this. Right on queue ......
