  Dalai Fraud lands in Oz posted by fish, 2008-06-10 21:21:59
The meat-eating Dalai fraud has landed in Sydney and is no doubt tucking into an Aussie steak sandwich or perhaps local hosts have introduced this brazen religious hypocrite to the famous Oz mixed (meat) grill -- political pursuits require meat as fuel! However, anyone familiar with Buddhist philosophy would tell you – ‘you can’t have your Buddhist void and play politics too.’ The two incompatible pursuits are mutually exclusive but that ‘small’ matter hasn’t deterred our meat-eating Tibetan visitor – what a laugh, my dog’s hind leg is straighter than this man’s character!

 Former Oil Minister blows lid of orgy of profiteering posted by finch, 2008-06-10 11:11:16
Isam Chalabi, former Iraqi oil minister, cites speculation and banking interests as the principal causes of today’s inflated oil prices. He dismissed the notion that current inflated prices are the result of supply shortages. “The question of prices today is not related to supply and demand fundamentals; everybody knows that,” he said in a recent interview on the ABC’s AM program.

 Prime Minister Rudd shames the nation posted by budgie, 2008-06-09 10:18:51
There is only one Australian politician that presents a more pathetic figure on the international stage than Foreign Minister Stephen ‘kneepads’ Smith, and that is our new pipsqueak PM, Kevin ‘bereft’ Rudd! (full story and 3 comments)

 War criminal on honours list! posted by dingo, 2008-06-09 03:18:43
Former Prime Minister and war criminal at large, John ‘aluminium tubing’ Howard is to receive Australia’s highest civic honour, the Companion of the Order of Australia! Well, that about ‘tears it’ for this dingo. Think for one moment and ask yourself why and who would honour a man who attempted to destroy the Australian ‘fair go’ and traditional worker’s rights. Howard implemented policies that have created the widest disparities in wealth distribution in the nation’s history. Some banking executives enjoy salaries in the tens of millions ($35m) while average Aussies receive $45K for their efforts – hooray for Johnny, give him a medal, you mindless, moronic sheep! It’s all any red-blooded Aussie can do to stop themselves strangling the little rodent on sight! (full story)

 Arab Islamists winning propaganda war posted by gan, 2008-06-07 20:01:17
The thoroughly illegal trial of fanatic Islamists at Torture Bay this week will serve only to strengthen the cause of ultra-conservative religionists.
The illegal detention centre, Guantanamo ‘torture’ Bay, hosts the illegal trials and will no doubt arrive at an illegal (guilty) verdict for those accused, illegally held, tortured and denied their rights! (full story)

 Goodbye Presidency: Obama caves-in to Jewish lobby posted by barra, 2008-06-05 21:26:16
Barack Obama just lost the race for the Presidency. At an address to AIPAC, probably the most powerful UNREPRESENTATIVE lobby in the USA, Obama caved to the wishes of the Zionists by pledging almost unconditional support for Israel and going so far as to state publicly that Jerusalem, claimed by two peoples, would remain the undivided capital of Zionist Israel.

 Top Oz cop busted! posted by budgie, 2008-06-03 08:51:02
Let it be a warning to all governments that favour harsh and pervasive regulatory powers, especially those without adequate oversight and accountability that ‘human frailty’ poses the greatest threat to the best-laid plans of social regulation! (full story and 1 comments)

 ‘Kneepads’ Smith, ranting over Mugabe posted by dingo, 2008-06-02 01:53:24
The Australian foreign minister Stephen ‘kneepads’ Smith, is in a ‘tiff’ over Robert Mugabe attending a UN food security summit in Rome to which Smith is also invited -- my God, who will they invite next? Smith, widely perceived as a knee-walking, sycophant and American lackey, may be attempting to assert himself as a man by vocally criticising Mugabe. However, images of Smith cringing to the mocking laughter of Condoleezza Rice at a Washington press conference recently, remain fresh in peoples’ minds; achieving manhood my elude Smith yet again!

John Howard charged with war crimes posted by nano, 2008-06-01 21:57:10
ABC news radio today reported that a group of Australian citizens, inclusive of academics, lawyers and other professionals, lodged a submission to the ICC to have former PM, John Howard, charged with war crimes for his participation in the illegal invasion of Iraq. Howard with cohorts Bush and Blair, formed the so-called ‘coalition of the willing;’ a rogue alliance that acted against the correct advice of the UN and in violation of numerous international conventions relating to pre-emptive warfare.

 Rudd’s avoidance of major issues hits new high! posted by junior, 2008-06-01 02:26:08
Kevin Rudd’s now pathological avoidance of the major issues facing Australia has hit a new, if not absurd, high! Facing the wholesale rape of our nation’s natural resources by Transnational mining companies; the worst drought on record; rapidly escalating fuel costs; the failure of free-market capitalism and a geopolitically, inappropriate relationship with a failing superpower, what is Rudd’s response? He ‘tackles’ the earth-shattering crisis of childhood obesity and launches an attack on a world renowned Australian Artist! But we should all be grateful for small mercies; the upside is he hasn't declared war on ingrown toenails! (full story and 1 comments)

 The ‘Art’ of Distraction posted by barra, 2008-05-30 22:33:35
There is something not quite right about the current hysteria surrounding the work of internationally acclaimed Australian artist, Bill Henson. The speed at which police became involved in Henson’s latest exhibition and the dense, but leading comments made by high ranking politicians regarding some of the works may indicate that ‘things are not what they appear to be!’ (full story and 2 comments)

 Bush exposed yet again and again and again … posted by Kingfisher, 2008-05-28 22:28:47
I have lost count of the (too) numerous times Bush and senior members of his criminal government have been exposed for gross deceptions and criminal pursuits. If a HOLOCAUST in progress and an ECONOMIC MELT-DOWN AT HOME doesn’t rouse the people what would former press secretary, Scott McClellan, hope to achieve with his revelations? Less than a week prior to McClellan’s revelations, news of the loss/misappropriation of $15 BILLION in Iraq roused only a few yawns from the American population -- 'good luck' with book sales, Scott!

Artist alert in the wake of attacks by conservative despots posted by quill, 2008-05-27 23:34:42
Conservatives, anal regulators, perverts and politicians fail to realise that Artists are responsible for ALL media output whether it’s fine art, television/film production, journalism, advertising etc etc; an attack on one Australian artist is an attack on ALL Artists! In view of the combined creative power that Artists possess it is a brave or very foolish ‘show pony’ that would offend the Arts and/or Artists. (full story)

 Australia, for all the wrong reasons posted by yarra, 2008-05-27 10:38:01
Australia is making international headlines for all the wrong reasons again; Aussies seem to have a penchant for eating their boots. Located in the South Pacific under the rest of the world probably accounts for the difficulty Aussies have adjusting to diverse, cosmopolitan populations. (full story)

The Unified Majority of Nations posted by peptide, 2008-05-26 23:30:50
Russia and China have broadened their existing military alliance to include greater economic cooperation and support. Together with the developing nations of Africa, the Pacific, Latin America and Asia the new ‘Eastern’ alliance will form the most powerful economic bloc the world has ever known – that is progressive thinking and is worth contrasting to the violent contractionist approach of America and its allies.
