OT: Current Affairs and Politics

Good to see Australian expert war mongerers keen to sign up aussies to get killed in Ukraine in the name of propping up NATO/USA agendas

The UK has been talking up conscription too

Click bait much ? Skynews reporter goes looking for a merkin willing to add his name to the quote “may” be time for conscription. I mean, who is Alexy Muraviev anyway ?

He works for Skynews.

Pretty much par for the course when a PM pops up at one of these events. I can’t remember a PM who wasn’t booed by a crowd of people.

Why are they up there though.

Like seriously not just Albo what is the obsession of PMs being at ceremonies of sporting events. Like were not there to see the PM stand on the podium pretending he is a hardcore fan of that sport.

Its all just a PR grab to make it look they are in touch with the common man/women.

Yeah you are probably right - its probably clickbait as much as anything .... merkin is some university dude supposedly some national security expert ... " Dr Alexey Muraviev, Associate Professor of National Security and Strategic Studies at Curtin University, " ... f**kin sand gropers.

The article is more about Boris Johnson talking up the UK needing conscription - and how he will put himself on the front line - lol ..... war pigs gotta war

He wasnt on the podium. Just in the crowd ... but they obviously felt the need to mention him.

I think Albo was bored and wanted to take his air force jet for a spin, so went to Victoria.

Hawkey???

You can't boo a bloke who can down a beer like Hawkey.

Anyone who boos Hawkey is a bum.

A PR grab by the sport/tournament more likely, who have to send the invite for this to even become a possibility in their calendars.

Unless they're receiving federal funding support and there might be a condition to have a government representative present/introduced/part of any ceremony.

But agree, who needs to see any politician shaking hands with a sports winner anyway.

wonder if having the PM at the tennis is Australia's equivalent of the royal box at Wimbledon
Could have the Governor General instead unless our real head of state or one of their relatives comes to visit their realm

I have been to sporting events where jeering takes place and I think that there is a difference between a playful Ooooo vs a malicious Boooo, f**k off you merkin.

At CommBank Manly run on and they get a playful Oooooo.

Cheating Storm scum circa 2010/11, they got a savage Booo.

The villains get the boos, Slater. Terry Hill. Anthony Mundine.

Jakey got Booos

I reckon pollies get nothing more than Ooooos.

[strider]

is it really enlarged and more revealing? .... what more is revealed?

I actually think the grey background on the Taking Aim caption which fades to the right is making it look like a shadow under her boobs giving the illusion of bigger tits .... some graphic design boffin did a boob-boo

Nine apologises for altered image of Victorian MP

Channel Nine said there had been human intervention in the modification of an image of Victorian MP Georgie Purcell, after Photoshop said any changes would have required approval.

attributing the error to an AI tool in picture editing platform Photoshop

LOL ... blame AI for anything

Somebody decided to go after her credibility and make her look like more of a instagram onlyfans chick ? Or was it just for LOLs.

"Speculation is mounting that former First Lady Michelle Obama is preparing to run to be President of the United States, in a move that involves convincing an ailing Joe Biden to step down.
And a prominent conservative figure believes such a plot might just succeed."
