Crocs in the Cabinet might be my favourite auspol read from the last year. Paints a great picture of the NT govt as basically a regional local council except more drunk, mental from heatstroke and with $6.5 billion to spend every year.

Supporters of Pauline Hanson’s One Nation Party will be faced with the heart wrenching decision of whether or not to vaccinate their children against catching Muslim, after it was revealed the vaccination causes autism.

Ms Hanson spoke yesterday of the need to vaccinate against the religion, but admitted she has read many convincing websites that show the link between the injection and autism.

The in-depth research, documented on respected science website realtruth-3-htp.org, says parents should do their own research.

Many One Nation voters were torn, saying they didn’t want to be Muslim or autistic. “Unfortunately it looks like we’ll need to choose one or the other,” one supporter said.

It means a significant proportion of One Nation supporters and their children may soon become Muslim. The rest will be autistic.

The way Marcus Cornish sees it, Penrith is "the last bastion of the Australian way of life in Sydney" and it is his job as a local councillor to "inoculate" the area against the dark changes that have swept the rest of the region over the years.

Asked what he means by "last bastion", the Penrith City councillor is blunt. "It is the most Anglo-Saxon area in Sydney," he says, outside of Macarthur, to Penrith's west. As a result its residents are more relaxed than they are in other parts of the city. Crime is lower, he says. People still play backyard cricket.

"This segregation has got to stop if everyone is to assimilate in today's multi-cultural society"

"We have schools that are open to all races , religions and beliefs why should they have a school that excludes us when we are trying are very hardest not to exclude them."

Private schools bad. Religious private schools worse. Bigotry also bad.

Grundle writes that because non-inner-city views, while "often confused and contradictory", aren't "mainstream", they never get addressed. This is why PHON gets up, because the common link between her and these people is not necessarily the weird hate-fetish but the fact their views are widely derided. The difference is hanson is after the financial benefits of a political career while voters are usually somewhere on the empathy spectrum (by virtue purely by not having gone into politics).

You could take an ultra-hardline sectarian public school position and win politically without ever being a bigot based on this petition and the comments, but the greens will never leave the inner city mentally and labor never really dumped the white australia policy.

Local Murri Kid Not Good Enough At Footy For Anyone To Take His Education Seriously


Despite his love of learning, local Murri kid, Jason Ridley (7) has today come to terms with the fact that he probably won’t be finishing year twelve.

As a young Aboriginal male with a fair bit of pace, everything was looking good for Jason, until he became old enough to play full contact football.

“I just don’t have the ball skills to keep moving forward and avoid getting tackled at the same time” he said, disappointedly.

“I thought I was going to be one of the kids who get to go to a private school and make a bunch of old stockbrokers proud to see their sons winning schoolboy premierships”

“But I’m just not good enough for a scholarship”

Unfortunately for Jason, this means his schooling will likely end upon the conclusion of grade ten, as the closest public high school is over 100km away. That’s providing he doesn’t enter the prison system before that.

“Look, he’s no Kurtley” says one private school scout.

“Put it this way. Parents wouldn’t be happy with this kid getting a call up over some Samoan flanker fresh from the islands”.

Jason, who doesn’t even really like football, knows for a fact the only way out of poverty is to be really good at sport.

“I thought, even if I’m not the best player in my family, at least I’d be better than most of the white kids in the city”

“But it turns out I’m really bad” he says.

“Like, worse than the white boys”

With his local footy team already drafting team lists that don’t have his name on it, Jason has resigned to the fact that he’ll probably end up going to juvie for a petty crime born out of severe boredom and lack of supervision.

“Oh well… I hear some of these juvies have school in them” he says, trying to remain positive.

“Maybe I’ll be finally able to learn about history”

“I’d love to read more about my peoples history in the schoolbooks”
