    Watch out for the new Aust Post ad running on SBS. It’s not Sydney, Melb, Perf and Brissy anymore, it’s Meanjin, Gadigal and so on.

    Been reading comments on FB from those following the chopper crash. One wag says he has mobile phone video of it. Gullible people like me click. Straight to Chaturbate. LOL.

    Sabra Lane, newsreader at the ABC has gone on a study tour to find out why no one watches or listens to the ABC –

    Had a quick tour of the BBC. Many of the radio studios are being converted into studios with cameras, to allow live streaming online. And also had a trip to Camden, to meet the chief of the News Movement.

    Scruffy looking bugger, I would have thought that he’d come out of gaol with short back & sides. If we don’t hear from him again, then he wouldn’t have been able to cross the border.

    Regarding that helicopter crash which killed four Australian Army personnel, did anyone actually see the helicopter go down?

    Borzzikman claims that the four were killed in a Russian missile strike in western Ukraine.

    Russia Eliminated the TOP U.S. Army General and 4 Senior Officers of the Australian Army in Ukraine – 6 minutes.

    I don’t think that “4 senior officers” were reported to have died in that crash, there were two commissioned officers, a warrant officer and a NCO involved.

    RBA leaves cash rate at 4.1 per cent, says more tightening may be required

    The US Fed currently has ‘restrictive’ settings, that is the rates are above inflation.

    Australia is currently far from having restrictive interest rates – our inflation is currently at 6%.

    Australian comedian James Donald Forbes McCann went viral with a video from a recent set where the comic expressed remorse about getting vaccinated. McCann noted in a comedic fashion that his quickness to vaccinate suggests he would have been a “good German” during the World War II era.

    ACMA Disinformation Bill 2023

    I posted three comments, starting here re the bill.

    a/ Using the info in those comments, I wrote out my submission. I selected some of the listed points in my third comment (6.49 pm) and wrote out a few paragraphs in an offline document. The entire submission comment was very polite.

    b/ Then I clicked the Have Your Say button. Filled in the fields and pasted my comment in the relevant space.

    c/ Clicked the Submit button and it was done.

    The entire process took me less than 30 minutes.

    Will it make any difference? I don’t know.
    What I do know is that I have done what one person can do to make a change.

    The submission deadline date was 8 August but has now been extended to 20 August. I will post a couple of reminders again till the due date.

    Wes Streeting, the UK Shadow Health secretary says:

    Christians against gay marriage have a ‘pick and mix’ approach to faith

    .

    Calvin Robinson responds:

    Mr Streeting is unintentionally correct. We cannot pick and choose which bits of God’s law we abide by.

    There are no “anti gay marriage” Christians. Christians are pro marriage, and marriage is between one man and one woman.

    Gay marriage is an oxymoron.

    From being someone who disbelieved the State on Iraq, Piers has rolled over and become a believer in the State on Ukraine.

    Excellent description of them by the police. They were “men”. Well that knocks out half the population. No trouble finding them now.

    An Uber driver was attacked with hammers in Brisbane’s inner west during the early hours of Wednesday morning, police say.

    The incident occurred when the 51-year-old man drove to Robertson Park at Taringa at 3:20am to pick up a passenger.

    Police said a man approached the car and confirmed he was the pick-up client then got into the car and started assaulting the driver.

    It is alleged two other men then got into the car and began attacking the driver with hammers.

    Police said the trio pulled the victim out of the driver’s seat and then stole his car.

    The driver was taken to the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital with serious head injuries where he is undergoing surgery.

    Police are seeking help from the public to find the man’s car, a 2020 white Toyota Camry with Queensland registration 775 CJ9.

    Anyone who witnessed the attack or has relevant footage is encouraged to come forward.

    Darkies then.

    As explained in the videos, Gonzalo has carefully considered his options. He has said that sneaking into another country would be a risk. By this video presentation method, he has provided proof of what happened to him and the possibility of what will happen if he is caught.

    The videos can be used to present his case before the Hungarian government for political asylum as well as for appeals from his supporters.

    Can’t see any updates on his twitter account so he must be still in hiding/transit or worse. Hopefully, he will get through safely.

    Unfortunately he couldn’t cross the border. I think he knew it was a long shot with little chance of success, but he gave it a try anyway. He mentioned his children in that video, I think the video was made more for them rather than the general audience.
