The Little Aussie Soapbox

I mentioned the ignorance (or wilful lying) of the media. I heard one US media pundit refer to the Commonwealth Realms as "English colonies". No they're not. They are fully independent countries. The same commentator (and many others) claimed that the Monarchy was built on the slavery of "black and brown people". Another lie. As a matter of interest King George III wrote a letter strongly condemning the practice of slavery back in the 1750's. Furthermore he never owned a slave nor invested in any company involved in the slave trade. George III of course was King when the "Act for the Abolition of the Slave Trade" was passed into law in 1807.

Well the first ads for "the voice" are out and no surprise they play like a CCP propaganda piece. So aboriginal people don't have a say in how our country is governed? Really? How is that exactly? After all they have the right to vote and to support whatever candidate/party on the ballot paper that they choose. Just like every other Australian. They have the right to stand for public office. Just like any other Australian. In fact there is nothing that other Australians can do that aboriginal Australians can't...

Really sad news out of Queensland. Just shows how potentially dangerous policing is.

"honorifice seruimus"

The appalling race baiter Lidia Thorpe is the true face of 'The Voice'.

Dodged a huge bullet with "The Voice" comprehensively failing.

The highly disturbing public expressions of antisemitism (all from the 'left' and muslims) in Australia has taken me by surprise. Maybe it shouldn't have. Nonetheless, I could never have imagined that in Australia you would get crowds of people gathering to celebrate the slaughter of civilians. Nor could I have ever imagined that crowds would gather and chant "gas the Jews".

These expressions of hatred towards people of particular groups are however a very predictable outcome of identity politics that are so loved by the left. So in that respect I shouldn't have been surprised by the reaction of some after October 7. A reaction that has not tempered since that dark day.

Just recently spent a day up in the snow. Strange though as all of our climate "experts" were telling us less than 10 years ago that by 2020 we wouldn't have ANY snow anywhere. These are of course the same people who claimed we would be in a state of perpetual drought and that our dams would never be filled beyond 30% capacity from 2020 onwards. Not a prediction that has aged well. As usual however they simply restate their predictions and just change the date...over and over and over again.

Nice how our PM says we have a problem with anti-Semitism whilst in the same breath defending the decision to allow into the country thousands of Arabs from Gaza. Gaza of course being ruled by a terrorist organisation that was elected by many of the same people we are letting into the country. The people of Gaza elected Hamas knowing that their number one goal was the total destruction of the Jewish state of Israel and the elimination of all Jews in the Middle East.

The Arabs we are letting in from Gaza are the same ones that no Arab country will let in. One reason why they won't is because of what has happened to countries in the past that took in Arabs from Gaza and the West Bank. Think about what happened to Jordan, to Lebanon and to Kuwait. Still, our PM tells us that even though many of these Arabs from Gaza openly support a terrorist organisation and are passionately anti-Semitic that's ok, just so long as they don't provide Hamas with material support. Nice one Albo.

So a pommy sheila is walking down the street with her friend when a bloke walking towards her waves his scarf for a brief moment OVER her head. The bloke was just coming back from a game of footy in which his team won. The scarf made NO contact with the woman and the reasonable response would be to laugh it off and keep walking. Only this is not what this sheila decided to do. Instead she tried to grab his scarf. When she failed she turned around and grabbed the man's shoulder (he had by this time walked past her). She then PUNCHED him in the face. In response the man punched her once, breaking her jaw. All of the news reporting though presented this charlie as the victim. The sheila in question said she no longer felt safe walking around Melbourne. Even a wpc put up by VicPol claimed the woman was the victim of a "vile" crime and that females ought to be able to walk around in public without the fear of being attacked by men. Only it was one man, one punch and he was responding to her striking him in the face. If she walks around without hitting men then guess what, 99.9% of the time she will have absolutely nothing to worry about. If however you think you can just punch men in the face and not face any consequences then that figure of 99.9% comes down somewhat.

The take out from this incident should be don't punch people except in self defence or in defence of others. She however seemed to feel that as a woman she was entitled to punch a man in the face and that the man should just wear it and do nothing. Hmm. The reality is, if you choose to punch someone who is stronger than you then be prepared to deal with the consequences. Simple.

Today has been, on balance, a good day for Australia.

The US led the western world into a woke sewer which is proving to be incredibly toxic. Maybe under Trump the US can show us all a way out. One can only hope.
