It’s given me a good business idea.

Run a fawlty towers type of cruise, where everything is bad and goes wrong with a “fake sinking” at the end when it’s hits a plastic iceberg.

The first worlders will lap it up.

Analed by a cruise

It's been 4 hours now and Tom Cruise won't come out of the closet. Just come out of the closet, Tom. Tom it's Nicole, just come out of the closet, Tom.

Albo should also do the same.

And on the Ss fawlty towers , during the (fake) sinking, there wouldn’t be enough jackets or lifeboats.

I suppose I’d have an issue that if during the fake sinking event…the ship was actually sinking for real.

Passengers would see the horrified crew members, applaud them on their acting, not worry about life jackets and of course, not raise an eyebrow at the lack of lifeboats.

I suppose a few people would still be holding out for the ship to right itself until the band makes a swim for it. Munching out on the chicken Kiev or the best cuisine from the former Yugoslavian republic.

Just to add a more humane side, as chief warden of the office floor, I am trained to consider these drills could be real. It’s a bit of fun hanging up the bosses phone while he tries to get rid of me.

I have the total power for the duration of the event. I am known to find my inner yob on those occasions:

“ Get the f**k out you cretins, no lifts, stairs only…use your f**king legs for once.”

That’s how you run a real office fire drill.

Fires and acrid smoke…don’t care about your feelings.

I had a problem with my deputy junior chief fire warden once as she didn’t want to ruin her hair wearing the helmet. That’s a story for another day.

That’s not very tasteful @Gronk-let.

Sad, because you’ve had a vintage season.

The referendum is going to fail I think because of inflation and interest rates.

The parliament should adjourn it for a couple of years. People are distracted by having to eat dog food for dinner.

So they will conflate hard times with the Voicey thing.

It’s ok, I didn’t hand in my semi during the gun amnesty, I’ve outfitted the tsp bunker with enough cans of spaghetti for at least 20 years so I’m ready.

Bring it on I say, the glitterati are not capturing me alive.

Im nobody’s fool mate.

Made it to sixer in the cubs. Command is a heavy burden only the select few of us are called.

The problem is that the population will increasingly consist of conservative immigrants who don't have any white guilt whatsoever. So support for constitutional recognition of one ethnic group will decline anyway.

Yes, a point well made and quite thought provoking.

I’ll give it some consideration and hopefully be able to expand on your thesis.

We will continue to undergo social phases.

 

[the phantom menace]

Alternatively, those (conservative?) immigrant groups from a diverse range of non-white locations may by nature of their experiences be more attuned to the value of recognising the original inhabitants of the land upon which they have travelled to and now be welcome to live...

So support for first nations people may be increasingly supported, as it has been in NZ, Canada, Scandinavia etc etc.

Thanks for this contribution too.

But I’m kind of with pou atm.

Uncomfortable bedfellows, struggling for the one pillow and he won’t move over.

I saw a movie about that once...

If it’s got no real power, it’s a symbolic gesture.

Pou posits this as a topical and contemporary manifestation of “white guilt”

He asks us to consider the increasing high levels of immigration of people from countries where the indigenous hold no other meaning than competition for scarce resources at their new home.

I don’t see his comment as making a judgment, just an observation.

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

Some of the far left are arguing that the voice is really just a means of legitimising parliament.

Once it has the voice, because it’s considers some indigenous views, it can somehow claim the voice and all indigenous people support it.

And it’s good for optics overseas.

And if it’s rejected, we will look like racists to overseas people which is not the reality of mainstream modern Australia.

The bbc will massacre us, not that I care, because it’s propaganda these days.
