quote:

Teachers at a Brisbane primary school have disciplined a nine-year-old girl for refusing to stand for the national anthem during assembly.

...

However, in a video posted on Facebook, Senator Pauline Hanson rejected the nine-year-old's views, saying "here we have a kid being brainwashed".
"I tell you what — I'd give her a kick up the backside," Senator Hanson said.
"We're talking about a child who has no idea about history — what we should do and what we need to do to pull everyone together, regardless of their cultural background — we are all Australians.
"This is divisive and I don't know what the other kids around her are thinking, but where is it coming from?
"This kid is headed down the wrong path, and I blame the parents for it for encouraging this — no, take her out of the school."

The wrong people got in charge. This one guy started writing a column (Bad Cop, No Donut I think?) which was crap and suddenly he was all over the magazine with edgy shitlord humour. Spelling, presentation and everything else went downhill like the EIC was on holiday at all times so noone was doing real work.

I had to sing the Anthem and God Save the Queen every Monday morning in assembly at school but that was forever ago and you expect that kind of thing at private schools.

Isn't there some truth to this? I have been reading some stuff in the agricultural newspapers and saw a thing on landline and there are definitely farmers that were much better prepared for the drought than others.

Mine played it at weekly assemblies. In primary we had to sing it.

And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

The answer is to support them in a way which advances our green-left agenda, rather than just hanging people completely out to dry

I'm guessing the ones losing out due to the drought are probably the ones who're actually just trying to make a living off the land; not the 10th generation businessmen who inherited a million hectares of cattle farm from dad.

School assemblies. I went to the dingiest public school my parents could find but somehow we had to sing not only the national anthem but a school anthem as well. It was sung at the slowest funeral march tempo, making it difficult for untrained kid vocal chords and attention spans to endure.

National anthem sucks because it is difficult for untrained singers. When we ditch the queen and replace the governor general with an indigenous committee we will have earned the right to a pub rock sing-a-long anthem befitting Australian vocal talent standards.

I mean we should be promoting sustainable farming practice and helping people when hard times come and encouraging them to save (with incentives) when good times are in.

You fell off the bottom rung of capitalism suck a dick dumbshit is the worst attitude to take, because that also applies to homeless people, underemployed, single mothers, redundant workers etc. etc. etc.
