I haven't posted in here today so I thought I would stop by and say g'day.. I hope everyone is having a good start to the week in this busy and often reminiscent time, the memory and pain of those past always seem to dwell on me in this month and or season. Also holy lol at Ian Macfarlane, I am really pleased with this bit of hilarious news and I hope to cap this day off with an amazing light show in tonight's skies. Edit: Boy oh boy am I unlucky and/or not observant of when the next post will be a snipe.. Have some handy info just in case you have no work tomorrow and are a fan of celestial events! http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-12-13/geminids-meteor-shower-to-light-up-dark-december-sky/7017666 *More like International Year of Darkness, am I right?* Happy holidays.

It's going to be funny when a Macfarlane retires, and a Nat gets preselected, forcing a reshuffle anyway.

I like the homosexual big nose advising Bill shorten. Reminds me of a particular 1930s culture.

I'd say Bill Leak's cartoons are almost as bad as Wyatt Mann's output, but they're not. They're about even.

The head injury claim is nonsense. Walkley before the head injury: "National Brown Nose Day" - winner of the 2002 Walkley award.  In 2006, two years before the head injury

It's hard to find info but he had a bunch of books and a show and a handful of appearances on the ABC during Howard then Howard lost and he hit his head in 2008 which almost killed him but he was brought back to life to draw Dr. Suess Asians for a salary.

In the wake of the death of former premier John Bannon I'd like to say that regardless of the public perception of him in the wake of his political career, he was a genuinely erudite, witty, and funny man, and one of the few politicians in Australia who strikes me as being more than just an empty suit, and was in fact a personable human being. He could also pound a yardglass like no-one's business, and seeing him and Angela turn up to a fancy dress party in very, very early 2002 both clad in a keffiyeh and thawb made me spill my drink.

Woolworths, Coles and Aldi are embroiled in a child labour scandal, with all three supermarket chains confirming they sell prawns or seafood supplied by a Thai company at the centre of the allegations. Graphic evidence of forced labour, including child labour, has been uncovered at a prawn peeling factory owned by major seafood supplier Thai Union. An investigation by Associated Press found hundreds of workers at the company's factories working under poor conditions with some workers, mainly from Myanmar, locked inside or otherwise unable to leave the factory. Advertisement Female workers sort shrimp at a seafood market in Mahachai, Thailand.Photo: Gemunu Amarasinghe Children were observed working the production line and witnesses told the news wire service they worked under the threat of violence. The Thai Department of Fisheries shows Thai Union has several facilities approved to export seafood to Australia. The child and forced labour was seen at the Gig Peeling Factory in Samut Sakhon, about an hour's drive from Bangkok. The scandal could lead to a prawn shortage over summer with consumers expected to hunt out Australian farmed prawns and pressure retailers to withdraw the products from its shelves. All three of Australia's major supermarket retailers are conducting investigations into their supply chain after confirming to Fairfax Media they use Thai Union as a supplier. "Thai Union is one of our suppliers as they are to most large western retailers and brands. We will investigate this further with our supplier and seek advice from our NGO partners," a spokesman for Woolworths said. Coles confirmed its frozen prawns were sourced from Thai Union, but noted its fresh prawns sold from its deli section were Australian prawns. "Coles takes a proactive approach to labour standard issues and works closely with our suppliers, key NGOs and stakeholder groups including the International Labour Organisation to engage on these issues," a Coles spokesman said. A spokeswoman for Aldi confirmed the chain also used Thai Union as a supplier. "We will review the Associated Press' investigative report as soon as it is released," the spokeswoman said. A major global supplier IGA Supermarkets said while Thai Union was not its major supplier it was unable to rule out stocking Thai Union produce. "Some of our other locally based seafood suppliers may purchase prawns from Thai Union as they are one of the largest seafood suppliers in the world," a spokesman for IGA owner Metcash said. All four major supermarket chains emphasised that they took the issue of child and forced labour very seriously. In a prepared statement, Thai Union president and chief executive Thiraphong Chansiri described the report as a "wake-up call" for the company. "Any illegal or unethical labour practices are unacceptable to Thai Union, and we are committed to take the necessary actions to ensure products in our supply chain are brought to market in a way that is consistent with our values to operate with integrity and with the utmost respect for human rights – nothing less will be tolerated," Mr Thiraphong said. The company said it would bring all processing in-house. Greenpeace campaigner Nathaniel Pelle said Thai Union was a major supplier of Australian seafood and consumers should be aware of this even if they were buying seafood from smaller retailers and seafood specialists. "Without a doubt Australians are buying seafood, including prawns from Thai union, and unfortunately supporting these practices in Asia that are widespread." Last week Greenpeace released a report on the prawn industry in Thailand that found several companies engaging in poor labour and environmental practices.
