Perhaps the strangest claim in the book is that Australia would soon be overrun by Asians if it did not cease all immigration, continuing to suggest that by the year 2050, Australia would be ruled by President Poona Li Hung, a part-cyborg lesbian of Chinese and Indian descent.

Yeah, it's impossible not to read it as "I always believed in helping those in need. Then I realised I wasn't in need and thanks to my family connections never would be, so gently caress those people!"



But in horror story news, Stopping The Boats has taken a hell of a loving turn over in Europe.



It's Whale Wars but even more racist and incompetent!

But it's not turning back the refugee boats - it's interfering with the rescue boats trying to save lives if the refugee boats sink.

They're wanting to attack the rescue boats and block them from ever leaving port.

In a letter, an immigration department official acknowledged a "compelling and compassionate" case for granting the visa, but said they also needed to consider Masooma's personal circumstances and the relative attractiveness of Australia compared to Pakistan.

"Although I am very sympathetic to your desire to be present at your husband's funeral during this difficult time, I am not satisfied that the compassionate grounds outweigh the concerns I have over your compliance with the conditions that will be placed on any visa granted to you," the immigration official wrote.

"I am not satisfied that your personal and economic circumstances in Pakistan would provide you with incentive to return and your expressed intention only to stay temporarily in Australia is genuine."

She at least wrote OK stuff before this. But she quickly became the person that people would leak to because no one else liked her so she got stuff to wind the CPG up. She definitely wasn't this far up her own clacker back in the day. Moving to Fairfax really let her shine in that respect.

Clive Palmer has defended taking his family and friends on an expensive Mediterranean cruise a month after complaining of health problems during a court hearing.

The former federal MP appeared at a federal court hearing in Brisbane in May clutching a vomit bag and using a breathing apparatus and a pillow while giving evidence to liquidators of his Queensland Nickel company.

Photos emerged on Monday showing Palmer and his family boarding the 24-day, $10,000-a-head cruise in Spain.

There is a class structure: I would characterise it as the rich, the managerial class, the political class, the employed, the working poor, and everyone else in order of who looks down on who, and who gives the orders. Maybe we should classify full time and part time in that, but I tend to think part timers are working poor anyway. But upper, middle, and working divisions are just as useless today as white and blue collars.
