This is so funny. The Abbott government is going to be continually crippled by this senate.

Even if Australians can't empathise with the Chinese who suffered under Japanese imperialism, he should at least realise that Australian POWs were also horribly mistreated by the Japanese. You know, like my Grandfather for example. It's just so incredibly hypocritical, especially considering past LNP behavior, compare: "Grr, that ABC government exposing australian navy crimes, they hurt our armed forces" "Well, you see, the treatment of Australian POWs by japan wasn't that bad" Tony: Pro War-Crime rudatron fucked around with this message at 03:20 on Jul 10, 2014 |

However I fear that it would increase demand that the dirty energy sector have been anticipating and so far have not seen, giving them a return in their investment and revenue stream into the future that may keep them polluting for longer.

You know, like my Grandfather for example. Yeah my grandfather was captured in Singapore and while I have nothing against the current Japanese, you can't deny what went on during WW2. And Julie Bishop's comments explicitly pissing off China - you don't need to have your tongue up their rear end like Rudd did, but why would you antagonise them for no reason? It just makes no sense to me.

You know, like my Grandfather for example. When I lived in Borneo, I visited the Sandakan war memorial, where I found out that Japanese Imperial forces made ANZAC & British POWs march all the way from Sandakan to Ranau. A nine day walk on four days of rations. But yeah they totally went about their "task" with a sense of honour.

Looks like there might actually be some truth to Ricky Muir having an interest in green energy? Anyone who didn't already write him to fluff his newbie senator ego for yesterday's vote against gagging the debate should write him now to praise him for voting down the repeal: Quickie online contact form from the Parliament website: http://www.aph.gov.au/Senators_and_Members/Contact_Senator_or_Member?MPID=250024 Postal address (thanks QM): Level 4, Treasury Place Melbourne, VIC, 3002

Great news! I'd like to return to the Japan comment for a bit. Reminder: This is what your Prime Minister said about Japan's activities during World War 2: quote:We admired the skill and the sense of honour that they brought to their task although we disagreed with what they did. Perhaps we grasped, even then, that with a change of heart the fiercest of opponents could be the best of friends. Let's now look at a little unit run by the Japanese during World War 2 -http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_731 quote:Prisoners of war [15] were subjected to vivisection without anesthesia.[16] Vivisections were performed on prisoners after infecting them with various diseases. Researchers performed invasive surgery on prisoners, removing organs to study the effects of disease on the human body. These were conducted while the patients were alive because it was feared that the decomposition process would affect the results.[17] The infected and vivisected prisoners included men, women, children, and infants.[18] such honour Those On My Left fucked around with this message at 03:50 on Jul 10, 2014 |

Those On My Left posted:Great news! You forgot some of the best bits quote:Many of the researchers involved in Unit 731 went on to prominent careers in post-war politics, academia, business, and medicine. quote:As above, under the American occupation the members of Unit 731 and other experimental units were allowed to go free. One graduate of Unit 1644, Masami Kitaoka, continued to do experiments on unwilling Japanese subjects from 1947 to 1956 while working for Japan's National Institute of Health Sciences. He infected prisoners with rickettsia and mental health patients with typhus. quote:Japanese discussions of Unit 731's activity began in the 1950s, after the end of the American occupation of Japan. In 1952, human experiments carried out in Nagoya City Pediatric Hospital, which resulted in one death, were publicly tied to former members of Unit 731. quote:In 1942, [Masaji Kitano] was appointed the 2nd commander of Unit 731. His predecessor was Shiro Ishii. In April, 1945, he was promoted to lieutenant surgeon general and appointed commander of the 13th Army Medical Corps. After Japanese surrender, August 1945, he was detained in a POW camp in Shanghai. Like all involved[citation needed] with Unit 731 or Japanese biological warfare, he was repatriated to Japan in January 1946.

Gough Suppressant posted:You know what we should do? Commission a report into legislation and then vote on the legislation four loving days before the report comes in. So this means we will see this report before they vote on the new bill. What are the chances that this report will say it is awesome and working and to repeal the ETS would be stupid? Who was the report written by?

When the Australian edition of The Spectator was created in 2008, we took a leaf out of Bill Buckley’s National Review in 1955 and stood athwart History, yelling Stop. We yelled because, like broadcaster Alan Jones, pundit Andrew Bolt and the Institute of Public Affairs, we hoped to be heard in a conformist climate. These were the days of Tim Flannery’s hysteria, the Garnaut Report’s hype and Kevin Rudd’s ‘greatest moral challenge’.

The Deadly Hume posted:There's an Australian version of the Spectator? And it's been around for over five years? And I haven't even noticed? The Australian stuff is only a few pages per issue. It's pretty interesting to compare the writing styles of the British Torys to the Australian ones. The ideas in the British part of the magazine might be just as bad, but the presentation of them is worlds apart.

You know, if Tony thinks imprisoning, starving and torturing people is "honourable" behaviour, maybe we've had his intentions on refugees wrong. Maybe he actually does think he's treating them honourably.
