Some are concerned about the way people will take it in the community.”Why? They never have before. Under a plan presented to the Labor caucus today, asylum-seekers will be processed onshore with fast-tracked health checks, the right to work and living money provided. …and a car and housing, I presume. If this actually happens they will want to stay in their bunkers – the bulk of the population will be furious.
At the current market rate of an average $15 for every carbon offset credit sold – equivalent to one tonne of emissions saved by not logging his forests and turning them into woodchips, paper or processed timber – it is a welcome cash injection of more than $400,000 annually.Good on him but how is that sustainable?
“I want my ashes placed into some good turkey-load shotgun shells,” he said. That way, someone could go kill a turkey with me . “I could rest in peace, knowing that one more turkey, the last thing he saw, was me screaming at him at 900 feet per second.”If you don’t smile at that image then your just too serious! Soldiers could go on killing terrorists for years and dead coppers could keep on inflicting damage on the scruffs of the world. There are no limits. They set up a company Holy Smoke, which has been in business for a couple of months and charges $850 for a case of shells. The company has shipped out two orders. The feedback, Holmes says, is positive. I wish them well and if hunting Greenies ever becomes legal, I’ll be in it! If the last thing Bob Brown ever saw was me screaming at him at 900 feet per second my life would have meaning and I would know that even in death I had helped to secure Australia’s economic future. Just joking Bob;)
“I have just spoken with our ambassador in Jakarta (Greg Moriarty) and I have indicated to him that his number one priority in the immediate period ahead is how we support this young boy and his family and do everything we can to obtain his early return to Australia,” Mr Rudd said in Sydney last night.I would have thought Greg Moriarty’s number one priority might be people smuggling or Australian Indonesian trade agreements or whatever issues that exist between the two countries and that he should just have someone keep an eye on the boy and his troubles. Still, that’s just me. I’m not trying to become PM or get a seat at the UN. Talking about Rudd, I picked up this quote from Latham at Catallaxy this morning;
(He) said that the reason that the public like Kevin Rudd is because they have never met himSounds about right.
If and when we fail in Afghanistan, there will be plenty of blame to go around. In my view, statesmen across the world that led their troops into the fight, committed too few troops and while their troops fought like lions, they led like donkeys, it is they who deserve the lion’s share of the blame.
PROMINENT Queen’s Counsel Julian Burnside has issued an apology to Tony Abbott after tweeting “Paedos in speedos” during a stream of critical remarks about the Opposition Leader on Twitter.
Burnside says he wasn’t referring to Abbott.
Absolute bullshit Burnside – you were involved in a tweet conversation about the evils of Abbott!
However a left winger abusing a conservative politician with such vitriol is hardly newsworthy so all will be forgotten.
