Abbott wants special terror courts Australian Associated Press 9:26AM June 1, 2017

Tony Abbott believes Australia needs special terror courts to deal with returning foreign fighters. The former prime minister says the only safe jihadi is one who has been lawfully killed, imprisoned or thoroughly converted from Islamism. "We need to ensure every returning jihadi can readily be charged and convicted, possibly through the creation of special courts that can hear evidence that may not normally be admissible," he writes in News Corp publications on Thursday. Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce said it was a matter for the attorney-general, but noted Australia had very strong anti-terrorism laws and offenders suffered the consequences. "If you want to go overseas and murder other people, well you're an evil person and if what you really want to do is be involved in conflict, join the Australian Army and do it legally," he told reporters in Canberra.

Labor frontbencher Chris Bowen said Mr Abbott's comments were more about Liberal internal politics than a serious discussion of matters facing Australia. Labor MP Tim Hammond agreed, saying Mr Abbott's remarks were a sign of discord between the prime minister and the Liberal Party's conservative right. "What it confirms is what we've known all along and that is the real government here is not Malcolm Turnbull," he told reporters.

How did they know it wasn't a terrorist on MH 128?

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.

Ian MacDonald is the guy who chucked a tantrum at the removal of the life travel gold pass and said that his $200000 salary meant he was working for less than $50 an hour.

I woke up this morning with a bad hangover
And my penis was missing again.
This happens all the time.
It's conceptual.

[Background singing begins: "conceptual penis" over and over]

This comes in handy a lot of the time.
I can leave it home, when I think it's gonna get me in trouble,
Or I can rent it out, when I don't need it.
But now and then I go to a party, get drunk,

And the next morning I can't for the life of me
Remember what I did with it.
First I looked around my apartment, and I couldn't find it.
So I called up the place where the party was,
They hadn't seen it either.
I asked them to check the medicine cabinet
'Cause for some reason I leave it there sometimes
But not this time.

So I told them if it pops up to let me know.
I called a few people who were at the party,
But they were no help either.
I was starting to get desperate.

I really don't like being without my penis for too long.
It makes me feel like less of a man,
And I really hate having to sit down every time I take a leak.
After a few hours of searching the house,

And calling everyone I could think of,
I was starting to get very depressed,
So I went to the Kiev, and ate breakfast.
Then, as I walked down Second Avenue towards St. Mark's Place,

Where all those people sell used books and other junk on the street,
I saw my penis lying on a blanket
Next to a broken toaster oven.
Some guy was selling it.

I had to buy it off him.
He wanted twenty-two bucks, but I talked him down to seventeen.
I took it home, washed it off,
And put it back on. I was happy again. Complete.

People sometimes tell me I should get it permanently attached,
But I don't know.
Even though sometimes it's a pain in the rear end,
I like having a conceptual penis.

[Background voices continue to sing "conceptual penis"]

It's a consistent issue with them. In the 1990s their tax plan overestimated the amount spent on public sector remuneration by tens of billions of dollars.
