730 does weekly "oh woe is we" segments on how boomers are being screwed by the cooling of the housing market. ABC can't be any more boomer outside of repeating their old 1970s programming

If you are looking for "boomer bait", the ABC will now start commissioning Australian Content in the form of historical dramas with lots of petticoats and moustaches and brave white men with English accents taming the rugged savage land. (There may or may not be an aboriginal child in the background somewhere.)

I'm rewatching Frontline and they do a puff piece with Ugly Dave the legendary television personality lmao. Nothing ever changes.

Also the series kicks off with an Imran likes to root joke and now he's threatening me with nuclear annihilation. Still as relevant as it was in 1994.

The episode about the scientist who isn't racist is really odd in hindsight because the person the character is based on (Charles Murray) is the turbo-racist arsehole they present him as.

Archbishop Mark Coleridge delivered this homily at the Mass for the Vatican summit on the protection of minors in the Church. Pope Francis celebrated the Mass, which was held in the Sala Regia, Apostolic Palace on Sunday, 24 February, 2019.

High level clergy are being arrested in their home countries and now there is a power vacuum in the Vatican. We had a royal commission, in some states of the US they are bringing out prohibition era laws to clean out the dioceses (the old guard are on the run in the US as well). Marky mark and the funky bunch had a big pow wow and this homily helps illuminate the new approach. Mark Coleridge was a good pick because the laity in Brisbane in particular are very vocal and active about (lower case r) reformation. If the Vatican and Mark Coleridge give the Brisbane laity (and like minded Catholics) a bigger role then we might even end up with a Vatican 3 in our lifetimes.

The Right isn't unified on Pell

SMH posted:

Sydney shock jock Ray Hadley has taken aim at former Liberal prime ministers John Howard and Tony Abbott over their show of support for George Pell in the wake of his conviction for child sexual abuse, declaring they had made "gross errors of judgment".

In an excoriating attack, Hadley accused the two former prime ministers of showing "a complete lack of understanding" of the victims of paedophiles, and implied Mr Abbott's actions could cost him his seat in Federal Parliament at the election.

It was revealed in court on Wednesday that Mr Howard provided a character reference for Pell following his conviction in December, in which he praised the Cardinal as "a person of both high intelligence and exemplary character".

Mr Abbott phoned Pell on Tuesday when the guilty verdict became public, and told 2GB radio the Cardinal remained a "friend". He said it was possible to make "very harsh judgments" on Pell at this time but he would await the outcome of the appeal.

Mr Abbott is a regular guest on Hadley's program and Hadley restated his admiration for the former prime ministers. He said they may be vindicated after the appeal, but in the interim their statements were premature and out of line.

"It's impossible to put ourselves in the position of the jury because they're the only ones who heard that evidence," Hadley said on air on Thursday morning.

In particular, he said Mr Howard went "way over the top" in providing a glowing reference for Pell.

"There's no mention of any victims in Mr Howard's reference, and I think that doesn't bring any great credit to the former prime minister," Hadley said.

"Mr Howard is someone I respect hugely, but this gushing reference, in my opinion, was over the top. He obviously believes Mr Pell and thinks the victim to be a liar. I really am struggling to get a grip on it."

"He could have offered a reference about his knowledge of George Pell prior to the conviction ... but he hasn't done that. He's gone way beyond that. I think he's over-stepped the mark."

Hadley has long used his radio program to draw attention to the crimes of paedophiles and criticise what he views as a reluctance to confront the issue publicly. He said Mr Howard and Mr Abbott's failure to understand the issue went beyond the Pell case.

"They hide their crimes. They con their victims. They con the victims' families. Paedophiles con their families, their friends and their colleagues," Hadley said.

"It's my opinion that Mr Howard and Mr Abbott have made gross errors of judgment.

"Mr Howard and Mr Abbott in my opinion have shown a complete lack of understanding of victims of paedophiles. Not just in the case we're talking about now, but generally."

Hadley noted the two former prime ministers were "powerful figures in our community" and said: "I think it would have been more prudent to allow justice to take its course before a public exhibition of their support for a now-convicted paedophile."

Hadley noted Mr Abbott faced a difficult contest to hold on to his Sydney seat of Warringah at the forthcoming federal election and observed: "His electorate would be looking at all this at the moment and scratching their heads".

The radio host also took aim at Pell's barrister, Robert Richter, QC, for his remarks during a sentencing submission in which he described Pell's offending as "no more than a plain vanilla sexual penetration case".

These were "outrageous claims", Hadley said. "What planet is the learned QC inhabiting?"

The trough is in the perfectly worst place here, its been 33-36c days so far this week. The bad news is that it's not really going to change until maybe late next week.

Interesting how he's said that after polls show that Abbott is probably hosed. As for Howard, sometimes Hadley says good things? Rarely?
