If that's directed at me, you'll have to post a full size version as I can't read it.

 

[the phantom menace]

Yeah ,I'm really upset Just pointing out that you and bozo's comments about it are invalid.
That's what you types of f**kers do. You both made an ass of yourselves by doing so.
Like I could give a shit.

No worries. Just pointing out that the tone of your posts seemed to turn when you said you hadn't decided whether or not you'd attend tomorrow's protest, and I called you out on not having immediately seen through the protest rally for what it really was and who is pushing it.

But Given it was you that shared here you hadn't decided whether to attend, I look forward to you keeping us informed - in between your negative generalisations about certain races and cultures - once you make your mind up about it all. (Like we could give a shit...)

It's not directed at you, it's a different topic altogether.

 

[Gary Gutful]

But is it ok to make generalisations about a whole race of people, separate to whether someone is concerned about immigrations levels?

No. I don’t support that.

 

[Gary Gutful]

Whilst that might well be true, where it is problematic is that the debate is more often than not being driven by a nationalist and racist agenda.

Agree with that. Would be nice if the country could have a sensible conversation about immigration but I doubt it will ever happen.

The tone of posts have been consistent. I already said I had reservations about it you lying merkin. I don't need to tell you what those reservations are and be f**ked if you'll pry them out of me.

But Given it was you that shared here you hadn't decided whether to attend, I look forward to you keeping us informed - in between your negative generalisations about certain races and cultures - once you make your mind up about it all. (Like we could give a shit...)

I shared it after assumptions were made. You know this.
You're a shill for the globalist gang. If you can't see that your country is being sold down the river, sweeping away with it any opportunity for the youth of this country to enjoy life as we did growing up, then I can't help you.
If you can see it and plainly don't care then are you are 10x worse than anything you can accuse me of.

Um... ok, I guess? I'm actually anti-globalisation of corporations etc, as they just use it to exploit and avoid paying honest tax - but you do you.

Tomorrow in the city centre will be interesting.
The Sydney Marathon is on with 35000 registered participants. Plus support crews and families etc..

Then there are 3 protest marches. Pro-Palestinian, anti-immigration and a 3rd which I can't remember the reason for.
Could be upwards of 200 000 people heading into the city tomorrow.

 

[Gary Gutful]

and a 3rd which I can't remember the reason for.

Jason Ryles for PM.

Lol at Donald "Tariffs" Trump...

‘Total disaster’: Trump furious after US court rules his global tariffs are illegal

An appeals court ruled the US president had no legal right to impose tariffs on almost every country – including Australia – but allowed them to remain in place to give the administration a chance to appeal to the Supreme Court.

A lot of my research is done on the streets of my suburb and the 3 around it.
You trying to implicate me in some Neo Nazi scheme is deplorable.
Your attitude and your comments are straight from the U.N. and WEF playbook.
Taken with the grain of salt they deserve.

I ain't saying your active in any kind of scheme, if anything I'd say your deliberate ignorance around where what you said comes from makes you more the useful idiot type than anything particularly nefarious.

Here in a luckless country
A land of sweeping claims
With rubbish racist protests
By people most afraid.

The broad woke who post here often
They’ve run off the thread today
No courage of their convictions
cowardly I’d say.

The Menace and I do wrestle
On Trumpy and the world
But not on blaming immigrants
For our country’s woes.

 

[Gary Gutful]

World and woes doesn't rhyme FFS!

World and woes doesn't rhyme FFS!

Close enough ode de trompfe.

Anyway, you're not exactly the full omelette woke.

A bit prone to conspiracy theory a la trump, but I put that down to peer pressure and at times, a penchant for being easily led.

But let those without sin, cast the first Molotov cocktail into the racist protests.

Work from home:

Pretty much a quarter of my colleagues work from home most of the time using tech. Private sector usually loves work from home depending on industry.

We looked at some new offices recently, interesting, fit outs are putting social settings in offices now to give employees something better than a desk.

Gamesrooms, office cafes with kitchens and shared gym and even spa facilities.

it’s a long way from when I started work in the day.

 

[the phantom menace]

The only thing that will get me back to an office regularly instead of working from home, is an actual office where I can shut the door and concentrate on my work equally as well as I can at home.

None of this open plan hot desking bullshit, which became the norm before Covid. You're right, they need to provide a lot better than a desk in office fit outs if they hope to get bums on office seats in the white collar sector.

"We don’t have a “big Australia” and migrants aren’t taking our homes or our jobs.

The problem of housing affordability is due to a lack of supply from the public sector of low-cost housing and rental properties, mixed with tax breaks for investors that has turned Australia’s housing market into a speculators paradise."

Migration is not out of control and the figures show it is not to blame for the housing crisis

Migration is not to blame for house prices rising. And neither are Australia's borders out of control.
