I don't give a gently caress if he turns up or not, it allowed me to end the conversation so I didn't need to hear him poo poo on about how healthcare should be a market, and also the lady I was doorknocking with was super impressed with how I handled it so yay me I guess

You can always tell its desperation time when they're trying to refocus the messaging on a popularity contest, as if they hadn't been stabbing him in the back for 2 years.

Lid: Feb 18, 2005; And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

The teenager accused of murdering a mother and her two children was at a public hospital in Midland hours before their deaths, according to sources.

Teancum Vernon Petersen-Crofts, 19, presented at St John of God Midland public hospital emergency department in a "psychotic state" on Saturday evening, but was reportedly turned away after police became involved.

WAtoday understands Mr Petersen-Crofts was behaving erratically, but his condition was not considered to be a “medical problem”.

A source said he was taken to the Brixton Crescent home just hours before three family members were found dead on Sunday morning.

Spokeswomen from both St John of God Midland Public Hospital and the East Metropolitan Health Service said they could not comment and referred questions to police media.

...

She said the man accused of the alleged murders at the public housing authority home suffered from mental health issues and had trouble accessing treatment.

"He's got mental issues and but there's a such a long wait on the public health system," the neighbour said.

A former schoolmate of Mr Petersen-Crofts said his friend had been “a little shy”.

“He was into his animes like Dragonball Z,” the friend said.

“He sometimes had anger issues, but he was almost always a nice guy.

“He was definitely weird, but nothing I would’ve thought would lead to this.”

SKY HIGH

Offering an alternative to the ABC's Left-wing news shows has worked for Sky:

"A shake up of Sky News� prime-time line up has boosted ratings, pushing viewers to new highs.

Earlier this year the broadcaster doubled down on a programming formula of pugnacious, strong opinion programs and breaking news coverage of politics and national affairs.

The move has paid off with a 9 per cent bump in the average audience during the first half of the ratings year, taking viewership to more than one million Australians every week, according to OzTAM data.

Among the network�s most popular shows, Credlin, anchored by Peta Credlin at 6pm on weeknights, emerged as the No 1 program in its timeslot on Foxtel. Credlin clocked up audience growth of 166 per cent year-on-year, reaching an average weekly audience of 208,000 viewers.

The Bolt Report, anchored by News Corp columnist Andrew Bolt at 7pm on weeknights, had audience growth of 36 per cent, watched by an average weekly audience of 239,000 viewers.

Paul Murray LIVE was the No 1 nightly program on Foxtel in its timeslot each Sunday to Thursday at 9pm. It was watched by an average weekly audience of 268,000 viewers."

No wonder activists are trying so hard to shut us down.

And note well: we're doing this without your taxes, and with such respect for debate that we have more Left-wing commentators on the payroll than the ABC has conservative ones.

Sky News reaches 52 million Australians yearly.

So how the hell are they calculating this metric? And how does it compare to the ABCs yearly viewings?
