Hanson tried to give me a flogging once during a senate inquiry on an issue she had no idea about and was trying to politicise.

It was like being hit by a wet carrot.

Imagine a Hanson government, you need people in those seats to win those seats, and right now ON's star performer is the four foot six cooker otherwise known as Malcolm Roberts.

Let that sink in, Malcolm f**king Roberts is the top of tree, and from there on down it aint getting better.

So the USA top law chick Pam Bondi framed Epstein as a lone wolf pedo who procured young girls for his own pleasure. That the “files” were just downloaded kiddy porn. Let’s all move on can we ?

Many suspected that Epstein used sexual deviation as a way to compromise leaders of industry and politics and that he worked towards the benefit of Israel, rather than building his considerable fortune.

Now a tip sheet that implies his interest in our leaders has been released as part of the way overdue, strategically redacted, files.

Being mentioned in the tip sheet or correspondence by those assigned to lure people of influence does not mean that they are sus. At this stage anyway.

Birds of a feather they say...

Brett Ratner. The guy who got accused of sexual misconduct by six women in 2017. Six. That's not a rumour, that's not one bitter ex — that's six women, including Olivia Munn, saying this merkin forced himself on them. Natasha Henstridge said he physically forced her to perform oral sex. That's rape. That's not a grey area. That's rape.

So what happens? He disappears for nearly a decade. Moves to Israel. Hangs out with Netanyahu. Thinks he's in the clear.

And then, and this is the beautiful part, the Trumps come knocking. They need someone to direct a $40 million vanity documentary about Melania. A propaganda piece. And out of every director on the planet, they pick THIS guy. The guy with six sexual misconduct accusations. They pick the one director in Hollywood who got run out of the industry for being a sexual predator and say "yeah, nah, he's perfect for our film about the First Lady."

And NOW, just days after the film drops, Brett Ratner shows up in the Epstein files. Photos released by the Department of Justice. Him, sitting on a couch with Jeffrey f**king Epstein, arms wrapped around a young woman. There are 15 photos of him in the files. Fifteen.

And the Trumps want you to believe they had nothing to do with Epstein? They just handed their wife's image, their brand, to a man who's photographed lounging with the most infamous sex trafficker in modern history.
$40 million. For a film. That barely made a f**king dollar at the box office. Theatres already cancelled screenings. The whole country of South Africa pulled it.

But Melania still got her $28 million. Guaranteed. Regardless of how it performed.

That's not filmmaking. That's a payday. And Brett Ratner was the perfect guy to deliver it, because he's got no leverage, no reputation left, and absolutely no reason to say no.

As a country what made it so great was the fact we had so much land. But we chose to trade that for individual wealth fuelled by greed and poor governments who continue to ignore the issue.
And this is what its gotten to. Living in caravans.

Fuelled somewhat by the greed is good 80s capitalism influence on "we". Everyone looking to maximise their dollarbucks instead of live comfortably and be happy to fund (through tax) or give helping hands to others worse off then themselves.

Gina and ten others are individual/private owners of so much Australian land: https://a-z-animals.com/articles/meet-the-largest-landowners-in-australia/

Waiting for the inheritances, and those massive land owners and the development corporations have everything locked up, to ensure they get maximum profits.

How to make billions in real estate by doing f**k all and getting the government to invest millions

Former Tweed mayor and Tweed Chamber of Commerce and Industry president, Warren Polglase, said the development changed hands several times, with all parties making money along the way.

"The Japanese bought it at a reasonable price, they sold it on and made a profit," he said.

"The next group sold it on and made a profit, then LEDA came along and they have done well out of it too.

"So overall, the winners have been those who have been part of the process to get where it is today."

The Tweed Shire Council has spent an estimated $130 million on infrastructure to accommodate developments in the area.

Brother I agree with everything else but Roman Polanski is still making movies and not just docos or no name actors. Heck 20 something years ago he won best director and directed Adrien Brody to best actor. Ewan McGregor, Pierce Brosnan, John C Reilly, Jodie Foster, Kate Winslet, Christoph Waltz, Ben Kingsley (TWICE!) all travelled to Europe willingly to work with a guy who raped a 13 year old. Really makes you think again about their other movies

That’s not the point. If you go by the last Federal Election, his modus operandi was to steal steal votes from the fringe dwellers and give preferences to Scotty. The $83 million in ads smeared labor in a way that the LNP could never do. It’s stealth bomber politics.

Nek minute Scotty wins the unwinnable election.

Maybe merkins saw through that this time or QLDers were so rock solid behind the lockdown that Clive’s jedi moves fell on deaf ears.

He also now has the record for this.
I'm sure Phantom will be in soon to explain the latest excuse of a failure.
