The Anglican archbishop of Sydney is a total rear end in a top hat and basically hated by Anglicans across the rest of the country for getting poo poo all over them by association. He donated a million dollars to the no campaign and the rest of the church were loving outraged. I've said it before, but the NSW branch of any national organisation is always dramatically worse than the rest. Find me an exception.

I think it’s time for ScoMo to break out the raw onions. After all, there’s still a handful of escaped mental patients who think Tony Abbott should make a comeback, and if ScoMo could possibly swing them behind him by necking a fistful of stinking fresh bulbs and stripping down to a pair of bright, red dick-stickers, why not just go for it? The alternative is going limp in the middle of the road and just waiting for the eighteen wheel road train that’s coming to turn him into street pizza. And it could hardly be less ill-considered than trashing decades of bipartisan agreement not to gently caress around with the septic mess of Isreali-Palestinian politics for the sake of a few votes. But ScoMo’s accidental prime ministership is now so terminal that even the magic onion might not save him. What a loving disaster his soon to be short-lived Turd Reich turned out to be. An imploding supermassive shitshow of desperate incompetence so violently bunglefucked six ways from Sunday that even listing the major oh-no moments feels like shamewanking over grief porn. This week alone — and just this week — heading into a history-making beatdown from the unforgiving voters of Malcolm Turnbull’s old seat, ScoMo and Co managed to poo poo the bed not once, but on four separate occasions: Not just voting in favour of a white power meme cunningly disguised as a white power meme by red-headed white-power She-Ra cosplay champion, Fraulein Hanson… But also letting Melissa Price, the very surprising Environment Minister and sentient coal-fired killdozer get loose in a Canberra restaurant where multiple witnesses saw her monster the former president of Kiribati and poo poo-talk the rest of the Pacific Islands community in a way that sounded a bit like your drunken Uncle Bob getting pantsless and punchy at a family barbecue. Not content to piss off pretty much every island nation that Beijing has earmarked to bury in a tsunami wave train of hard currency loans and developmental ‘assistance’, ScoMo personally stepped up to the crease and promptly tripped over his own cock by flopping it out to wave in the face of the entire Muslim world with his brainfart about moving the Australian Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem. Israel (two way trade worth about a billion dollars a year) was stoked, thanks mate. Jakarta (two way trade worth a lazy sixteen billion dollars a year) was not so loving stoked. Nor were the dozen or more Arab ambassadors who met in Canberra to release a joint statement detailing their extreme lack of stoke for ScoMo’s desperate pursuit of the Jewish vote in Wentworth. (A demographic the witless idiot already had in the bag). The free trade agreement with Indonesia is now in play, along with billions of dollars of agricultural exports to the Middle East. The National Party’s farmland constituents would be probably displeased, if the National Party had not decided to distract them and everyone else by floating the prospect of getting ruddy-cheeked pork swordsman Bonerby Joyce back as leader. And that was just this week. It will be over, sort of, by the time cocktail hour rolls around at Bondi Beach and the polls close in Wentworth. Maybe the government hangs on. Maybe they get beaten like a giant novelty gong. Either way, ScoMo has proved that the only thing he was ever good for was remotely torturing refugees, when nobody could actually see what he was up to. And by the end of the week, with both the UN and thousands of local doctors demanding the release of children imprisoned in our Pacific gulags, it looked like ScoMo couldn’t even fall back on his proud legacy as a prison camp overseer to save his worthless arse.

I’m a former mental patient and I don’t like Tony Abbott. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-10...acebook_Organic As the spring racing carnival kicks off this weekend with the Caulfield Cup, new figures show Australians are losing more money than ever on sports betting and racing. The latest statistics, published this month, show that as a nation we bet $209 billion in 2016/17, an increase of 0.7 per cent over the previous year. Singapore is a distant second. The data collected for the past 34 years and published annually by the Queensland Government Statistician's Office is considered the most comprehensive snapshot of gambling in Australia It shows that, when averaged out across the entire adult population, Australians bet almost $11,000 per person, making us far and away the biggest betting nation on the planet. "We see people who would not blink at spending $1,000 a bet," said Dr Kate Fennessy, the clinical lead at St Vincent's Hospital's Gambling Treatment Program in Sydney. People playing pokie machines at the Cherokee Casino in Siloam Spring, PHOTO Despite a large rise in sports betting, pokie machines are still the most significant focus of day-to-day gambling in Australia. FLICKR: CAROL VON CANON We bet. But, more importantly, we lose. In total Australians lost $23.7 billion on all forms of gambling in 2016-17 — pokies, lotteries, casinos, racing and sports betting. That's $1,251 for every man and woman over the age of 18. The biggest change is in sports betting, with a 15 per cent increase in the amount of money Australians lost from the previous year in that category. We're also losing more money on the horses, up by almost 7 per cent. Australian Gambling Statistics 2016-17 Amount wagered ($ millions) Amount lost ($ millions) Amount lost per capita ($) Racing 23,869.258 3,312.714 174.96 Electronic gaming, casinos and lotteries 174,633.661 19,318.941 1,020.34 Sports betting 10,105.302 1,062.000 56.09 TOTALS 208,608.221 23,693.655 1,251.39 *Source: Queensland Government Statistician's Office, Queensland Treasury Those losses are overwhelmingly felt by a small number of problem gamblers. "Most people are buying a lottery ticket or they're spending twenty bucks on the spring racing carnival, and the people who fall foul of this behaviour are the people who are spending vast amounts of money," Dr Fennessy said. Gambling counsellors are increasingly seeing an increase in people addicted to the ease of gambling on sports and racing via their mobile phones, "almost exclusively young men," says Dr Chris Hunt, a clinical psychologist at the University of Sydney's Gambling Treatment and Research Centre. Sydney carpenter Matt Portokalli is 27 — right in the middle of the demographic using sports betting apps. For him the attraction is the convenience of betting on your mobile phone. "Like most things that run though apps, it's a more streamlined approach — you're just one or two clicks away from getting a bet on," he said. Mr Portokalli says he only bets every couple of months on the AFL, NRL or maybe the big races such as the Melbourne Cup. But he's seen people get into trouble and have to take loans out to cover gambling losses. Gambling phone app PHOTO Betting apps make the access to online sports gambling even easier than it previously was. ABC Dr Hunt said around 35 per cent of his clients present with horse and sport betting problems. "It's definitely the fastest growing area of gambling at the moment," Dr Hunt said. Dr Hunt had one patient who lost half a million dollars in a single year, but he says a more typical amount "is in the tens of thousands". Drs Hunt and Fennessy both say betting patterns are shifting, partly as a result of changing demographics but also because of intensive advertising. "There's been that constant cross-promotion between sports and gambling," Dr Hunt said. The three biggest Australian sport organisations — the AFL, the NRL and Cricket Australia — are all sponsored by gambling companies. It's no secret that sporting telecasts are littered with gambling ads. Kerrin McEvoy riding Redzel to victory in The Everest at Royal Randwick Racecourse. PHOTO Australia's relationship with gambling was brought in to question during the build-up to this year's Everest event at Randwick. AAP: DAN HIMBRECHTS "I think we should be concerned about the availability of betting and the promotion of betting in sport," said Dr Fennessy. "I'd really love people to be able to watch sport and not necessarily have a bet." Sport betting and gambling on racing may be on the rise, but they are still a long way behind the pokies. We're pumping $168 billion through pokies and casinos (that includes those pokies in casinos). Collectively we're losing $17 billion on electronic gaming and casinos. That's $894 for every adult Australian. The question is why Australia still streets the field when it comes to the amount we spend on gambling? The answer may not be a simple one, but if you talk to those who deal with problem gamblers, and those who gamble, they all give you one answer. As Dr Chris Hunt said, "It's been such an ingrained part of Australian culture for such a long time."
