Maybe they should just put ALAN JONES IS A oval office on the sails of the opera house so he can see it from his lovely apartment across the street and complain about that too.

I mean for someone who seems to hate so much of what they do he sure does like living near the bloody thing.

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-10-05/eurydice-dixon-vandal-andrew-nolch-appeals-against-sentence/10341194

quote:

The man who painted offensive graffiti beside a memorial to comedian Eurydice Dixon in Melbourne's Princes Park is appealing against his conviction and sentence, despite pleading guilty.
Andrew Nolch, 29, has apologised publicly for the first time for painting a lewd symbol on a soccer field at the park, just hours before 10,000 people gathered for a vigil in Ms Dixon's honour.
After launching his appeal in the Victorian County Court, Nolch made a qualified apology to Ms Dixon's family for causing them distress.
"I made a political statement and I am very political but yeah I'm definitely sorry for the harm I caused the family, the offence," he said outside court.
Not sorry but yeah sorry

He's going to say he didn't know he was pleading guilty for anything beyond graffiti. The article says he's calling his previous lawyer incompetent but sadly doesn't mention if he's representing himself

he complains about the concerts on the steps, he complains about vivid, and he complains when they will do something similar to vivid, but not to a degree of shamelessness that he sees as suitable.

No it isn't lovely or racist you loving idiot, the reason that 'you're Chinese, I'm Chinese, vote Chinese' works is because Chinese-Australians aren't represented by the lily white racists that make up the current Govt

Feels pretty lovely. Singling things out merely because of race seems incredibly lovely. Vote for me because I have the same values as you, vote for me because no one is working on policies for immigrants with low english skills, those are all valid points. Vote for me because we're both Chinese, not really valid. Pretty racist.

Are personal insults cool in here now, always thought it wasn't.

Bell jar you loving cretin. It might work, that doesn't make it okay. Telling people to vote for you because you're not white is as much a lovely dog-whistle as telling someone to vote for you because you were born here. And sure, Chinese people are a minority, but they're also a varied group of people. Asking people to vote for you purely because of race gives no indication of how you will vote on a raft of issues. You want to highlight your Chinese heritage, go right ahead. You want to say 'We're the same! We're not white, so vote for me' that is lovely.

Yeeeeah, that's not it at all. It's not even racist against white people if all they're saying is, 'hey Chinese people, vote for me, I'm Chinese'. It's an issue with selectively targeting groups of people based solely on race. If the message were more nuanced 'as a Chinese-Australian I've grown up doing blah blah blah and that's why you should vote for me' that'd be cool. But going 'me Chinese, you Chinese, vote Chinese' is poo poo. Doesn't say anything about their values, their policies or how they would improve things for Chinese-Australians. Just says 'we look the same, so vote for me'. Their values could be totally at odds, that is why it is lovely.

Re: Alan Jones having a fit


quote:

Racing NSW’s proposal, obtained by the Herald, includes projecting a list of runners onto one sail, while the horses selected in the barrier draw would be promoted on another sail.

Asked what she thought of the proposal, Ms Herron laughed. “Well what can you say? Just so inappropriate.”

Opposition leader Luke Foley supports the Racing NSW plan, and Federal Labor MP Anthony Albanese phoned into ABC Radio on Friday morning to say he supported the plan as well.

“People should chill out a bit,” Mr Albanese said. “The fact is that this race is beamed around the world. People do associate Sydney with the Sydney Opera House.”
