Geisha, blazing Swan, Indi bar, mint, any festival ever, the Scarborough blue light disco.

The joke was about the children going into a venue and getting googed out of their mind being bad.

The only Perth venue that interests me is the airport should I somehow be teleported there by a prank wizard.

E: actually does bakery still exist? That and the gay bar/pub in Mt Lawley were extremely pinger friendly venues.

The Bakery is gone. However if you meant the Queen's in Highgate (which isn't a gay bar but is openly LGBTIQ friendly) then there are tonnes of places as good as that, if not better scattered around Perth now.

Ironically though, none of them were mentioned in the above post about MDMA.

It's easy to eat on pingers, you just gotta choose your food wisely. Chicken creamed rice was a mainstay because it goes down easy, is nice and smooth and fills you up without being too heavy.

Not a doco but I can recommend Matthew Condon's Three Crooked Kings series of books on police corruption in Queensland from the 50s leading up to and including the Fitzgerald Inquiry. Not really focused on Joh until book 3 though

ahhh fuck its the rats again
The first national gun amnesty since the Port Arthur massacre will aim to keep some of Australia's 260,000 illegal guns out of terrorists' hands.

The three-month amnesty will allow people to hand in unregistered guns from July 1.

"This is an opportunity for people to present the guns to authorities, no questions asked and with no penalty," Justice Minister Michael Keenan said on Friday.

"If people don't take that opportunity, the penalties for owning an unregistered or illegal gun in Australia are very severe."

He said illegal guns were used in the Lindt cafe siege and the death of police accountant Curtis Cheng in Sydney, as well as being used in organised crime.

"We have seen, through terror attacks in Australia, that illegal guns have been used," Mr Keenan said.

"Now is the time to run another amnesty, with the aim of reducing this pool of illegal guns."

Mr Keenan gave the example of a family heirloom that might have been sitting in a garage, and people might be worried about the consequences of handing it in.

"What we want to do is reduce the number of guns like that in the community," he said.

"The fact [is] we've got a deteriorating national security environment," Mr Keenan told ABC radio.

"We've got an environment where there has been five terrorists attacks on our soil and, sadly, in the vast majority of those cases it has been an illegal firearm that's been used."

The government estimates there are 260,000 illegal guns in the community.

"The danger there is that there might be a circumstance where the wrong person - a criminal, a terrorist - might get their hands on those guns," he said.

The national amnesty will be the first since the Port Arthur massacre in 1996, which was accompanied by a gun buyback scheme.

Mr Keenan said more recent state-based gun amnesties had led to thousands of illegal guns being handed in.

Fellow cabinet minister Christopher Pyne said if illegal guns were not available, they could not have been used in the recent killing of Queensland police officer Brett Forte.

Labor is backing the amnesty.

"We would certainly encourage people to do the right thing and to hand them in," frontbencher Anthony Albanese told the Nine Network.

The Port Arthur shooting in April 1996 resulted in the deaths of 35 people at the popular tourist site in Tasmania.

Gunman Martin Bryant is serving 35 life sentences for the murders.

ahhh fuck its the rats again
And again.

The ABC has apologised for airing an interview in which Melbourne breakfast radio host Red Symons asks the ABC journalist Beverley Wang if she is yellow.

The network removed the interview from its website on Friday after an outcry over Symons’s comments.

Symons also asked Wang “what’s the deal with Asians” in the combative and awkward interview.

He said he was unhappy about her new podcast It’s Not A Race because he too had an idea for a podcast he wanted to call “What’s the deal with Asians?”.

“First question is, are they all the same?” Symons asked.

When he asked what part of China Wang was from, she told him she was a Taiwanese Canadian.

She remained calm and friendly throughout the 18-minute chat despite the increasingly bizarre nature of the questions. Symonds conceded he had not listened to her podcast and did not know what it was about.

Symons: “Do they speak Mandarin or Cantonese?

Wang: “Who’s ‘they’?”

Symons: “The people in Taiwan.”

Wang: “They speak Taiwanese and they speak Mandarin. And in Canada, where I’m from, they speak English and French.”

Symons: “I knew that. You’re probably from the west coast of Canada.”

Wang: “Why do you think that, Red?”

Symons: “Because it’s closer to Asia.”

Wang: “I’m just asking, don’t get defensive.”

Originally recorded and edited for his Melbourne breakfast show, the entire interview was released as a podcast this week, before being taken down by the network.

“ABC Radio has removed the latest episode of Radio National’s It’s Not A Race podcast and an earlier ABC Radio Melbourne segment,” a spokesman said.

“A review of the editorial processes around this content and its use is in progress. ABC Radio apologises for the content going to air.”

Symons, 68, is famous for his role as a judge on Hey Hey It’s Saturday and has carried his abrasive style over to his popular ABC radio breakfast program. He was also a guitarist in the 1970s band Skyhooks.

Symons asked Wang about her attitude to blackface and the Harry Connick Jr incident he was involved in on Hey Hey in 2009. He challenged her opposition to blackface and said he defended the show when it was attacked for hosting a blackface act and offending Connick.

“I remember thinking at the time that it had become uncomfortable because Harry Connick Jr felt most uncomfortable with someone wearing what is alleged to be blackface,” Symons said.

Wang corrected his use of the word “alleged”. . “The make-up is there,” she said. “It’s definitely black make-up.”

Other ABC personalities argued on social media about the implications of the interview. Radio host Jonathan Green accused TV presenter Julio Zemiro of “trashing” her colleagues after she took him to task for his response to what she called Symons’s “racist rubbish”.

In her first podcast, Wang says she is the “first of my kind to host an ABC podcast on race” which she is tackling because it is complicated and “part of all of us”.

She likened the actions of gay people to paedophiles on television.

She shames sluts.

She's a neoliberal wanker that refused to pay contributors and when forced, bitched about it.
