OT: Current Affairs and Politics

[Gronk]

Dutton says the ABC Managing Director and Chair needs to apologise to his MP because his guy said that colonisation was good for our indigenous folk viz; he regurgitated what Jacinta said at the National Press Club.

Journalist: FMD your guy said a brain dead thing.
Dutton: The ABC should hang their head in shame. The ABC, the ABC, the ABC. Thank you.

Interesting to see the dialogue from those partaking in the march on the Opera House. Apparently, it is good that innocents died in Israel. Is it also good that innocents died in Christchurch?

Will Chris Minns allow a march in support of "name withheld"?

Fairs fair.

Warning distressing content:


Al Jazeera now reporting kiddie death count now over 140.

Usually able bodied older people happy to make life and death decisions.

Maybe @Gary Gutful is right and they all need to be Australianized.

I shook my head.

Voted today, at a pre-poll booth. First time I've seen a No poster in my region - there was one stuck to a garbage bin outside.

The volunteer handing out No materials looked unhappy and creepy. The volunteers in Yes t-shirts all looked happy and welcoming. Kind of sums the whole thing up to be honest?

What did Tony vote for I wonder ? Back in 2013 it appears he was prepared to say just about anything to get elected. Cos he dispensed with his <sniff> speech and spoke from the heart <applause> about constitutional recognition and etc etc

This f**king woman is now telling people on Sky News that the Voice lets indigenous people complain about parking tickets.

Fun fact: she is actually a lawyer and was our Attorney General at one point.

It is this shit that is causing the division in this referendum.
Not the referendum itself.
The LNP and National's turning this political, and the majority of the media have a lot to answer to.

its getting f**king ridiculous, it has very little to do with the Voice, its just all about left V. right now

I don't think so at all. Most people don't know what its about including myself. I assume getting an Aboriginal in parliament or more of them in?

I like Sarah Ferguson and the 7.30 report. She is excellent.
But boy, was she was given a lesson in journalism tonight by the Palestinian that she interviewed during the first article on the program.
She continued questioning a line that favored just one side. The Israeli's.
This guy just kept asking for her to be balanced and for her and the media to report both sides of the whole story equally and kept stating facts of equally horrific Israelis massacres of the past, including of children.
She was actually hopeless tonight and went along the more mainstream media approach trying to get a gotcha moment.
It failed.

 

[hindy111]

We can all just hope this ends soon and that Israel do not go overboard. I have a feeling they are going to make a statement and we are going to see one of the worse retaliations in history.

What does the alternative current continent of Australia look like had the British not sent it's Convicts here 235 years ago?

Maybe China? They knew about it

Yeah not buying into that type of Trumpism that is being normalised across our countries by Dutton and the Republicans.

You make it sound like we shared beers, beef jerky and told yarns around the camp fire.

Massacred. Raped. Poisoned. Enslaved. Their children stolen. Their lands taken. Their religions, their culture and their languages destroyed is more to the point.

WTF with the gaslighting ? Colonialism was good for Australian Aboriginals ? Slavery was good for Africans ? JFC.

Israel always hits back with extreme force.

Hamas would have expected it and also the consequences.

Anyone in hamas etc who is prepared and ready to cop it, that’s fine.

But it’s really not ok for kids and innocents.

And it’s not Ok for Israel to kill kids and innocents too.

Hamas will not cop it.

They'll be bunkered down

The only point to bombing the f**k outta Gaza is, to bomb the f**k outta Gaza.

Do you think the rest of the world outside of the British just leaves those who were here alone for the next 235 years?
