Yep.

That Family First / Australian Conservatives amalgamation seems completely clownshoes. I mean, I don't have any data, but I would have thought that the word "family" in the brand name was a big part of their appeal to a lot of the churchgoing type that would otherwise just vote LNP or One Nation.

Losing the name to the super-generic corporate-sounding Australian Conservatives, seems like a terrible move for them (good).

Also "ABC understands newly elected Family First senator Lucy Gichuhi will not be part of the merged party". LOL.

This is the hill Dutton has chosen to die on. This.



drat, how did Howard deal with his bullshit over the Tampa and the children overboard scandal, again?


EDIT: Yep, no apology. "Didn't get the intel in time". "They sank their own drat boat which put the kids in the water". "Senate inquiry was Labor sour grapes". Etc.

Basically, he brushed it all off.

But here's the thing, despite being faeces in human form, Howard was a very skilled and hard working politician. He had the ability, the knowledge and the reputation to weather something like that.

Dutton is a potato.

Scientists successfully teach gorilla to read at a Daily Telegraph-level

The great ape has now sadly become Islamophobic.

Scientists successfully teach gorilla to read at a Daily Telegraph-level
29 July, 2016. 12:34

ERROL PARKER | Editor-at-large | Contact

ZOOKEEPERS AT DUBBO’S WESTERN Plains Zoo are delighted to announce this morning that scientists from the nearby TAFE college have successfully taught Glenn, a four-year-old juvenile gorilla, to read at a Daily Telegraph-level.

Named after Narromine-born cricketer Glenn McGrath, the gorilla was the first to be born at the zoo. His birth heralded a new beginning for the nation’s gorilla breeding programme.

“It’s a truly remarkable achievement,” said Head Ape Keeper, Debby Frog.

“Glenn has always been a bit slower than the other gorillas we have here. While his cousins have recently been observed using tools for the first time, which is a major cognitive milestone in a gorilla’s development, Glenn has not,”

“But he’s now the only gorilla in the world who enjoys reading the Daily Telegraph, which is just amazing.” she said.

Originally published as “Ape reads, two die in horror crash near Gilgandra” in The Daily Liberal.

Dutton is now saying that his intel on the kid has come from classified information and he will not be releasing it. It is so classified that even everyone who was actually there for what Dutton said went down don't even know it went down. That is an impressive level of commitment to keeping information classifed.

But will he be a brushed potato?

The very worst piece of antiwar protest that was even enacted on Australian soil was the single woman who threw red paint on the commanding officer of first battalion in Sydney in 1966. This has been repackaged and retold as a scandalous attack on returning veterans ever since. It has been used as the trump card in the war/anti-war debate on the side of war ever since. What moral authority can your case have if one of its proponents is prepared to stoop so low?

If only the same standards applied to cabinet ministers and the parties who support them.

"Giant shithead"? I would hope I needed to do more to deserve that but OK.

This morning on ABC they were talking about Cory like he's SA's Pauline Hanson, but what he really is/was is the top of the ticket Liberal member in SA so he's almost guaranteed to get in. Now he's not.

Family First pick up a lot of votes due to their friendly sounding name and Bob Day's tenure - now they've lost both of those.

I can't wait for the next election as Bernardi's party will be blasted into irrelevance.

Oh Starshark I forgot to mention that Rosa Parks was secretary to the head of the NAACP and they were prepared to campaign on her arrest which was premeditated and part of a wider campaign around civil rights. Just so you know for future reference when arguing in favour of mindless spartacism and against organising.
