Their ABC is a utter disgrace to the nation but I wonder how influential they are.
Apart from the justifiable complaints I read, I would not even know what they say.
The same goes for the rest of the television and print media.

I’d say democracy is working perfectly well, within the definition of those administering it. A voting system with a choice between two identical parties, a false representation of a choice that always has the same outcomes, and a tolerance for a couple of minor parties. Further parties are not needed so are there to be mocked and destroyed.
It has the needed array of breathless media releases covering completely irrelevant issues to keep the chattering classes busy, while ignoring the important things that really affect every taxpayer. You will note the Uniparty has identical attitudes to individual freedom (there shouldn’t be any, just an illusion of such) and currently anything they want derided gets labelled as ‘Far Right’. 50years ago it was labelled as ‘Far Left’ and called Communist.
An abysmal system, but it supports the birth to death propaganda that makes sure the rats are happy in their cage.
Want a real answer to an important question?? That proves you’re Far Right, the acceptable euphemism for Naz1s, the only group the world is allowed to hate.
“Radical far-right agitators are co-ordinating stunts to confront politicians on the federal election campaign trail, …The group is cloaking their message in “reasonable questions” about policy…Researchers who track the far-right online suggest a small, sophisticated group with links to neo-Nazis are behind many of the disruptions that have plagued the campaign…Anti-fascist researcher Dr Kaz Ross said ““Just because these people seem ridiculous, doesn’t mean we shouldn’t take them seriously.”
…and to make sure you don’t want any of that poison called ‘Freedom’-
“(Neo-Nazi) McLean said he wanted to influence the election to bring “a more Libertarian perspective to government”. He previously said he was asking “genuine questions” of candidates”

It would matter if their ABC had an audience but the vast majority of Australians do not watch or listen to their ABC. Maybe high for pre-schoolers as a lot of the content is aimed as pacifying toddlers.
The main concern is that average Australians are being robbed to pay for this anti-Australian lobby group focused completely on its own survival than delivering entertaining or newsworthy content.

We have very good records of this period throughout Europe. In my own town we have an abbey,destroyed by Henry 8th that references this warm period but that from 1300 the cloisters had to be covered and windows bricked up as the cold and rain increased as the little ice age took hold.

Our elite keep producing reports that describe the immense changes to our lifestyle needed to achieve net zero.
Yet still most people think the changes will amount to nothing more than using a bag for life, perhaps thinking of travelling by train every now and then and doing without that extra rasher of bacon.
They seem unwilling, or unable, to recognise that the Eco fanatics have a far more fundamental change in mind.

Pfizer whistleblower talks about the mRNA bioweapon used on five members of the Royal family: (1) Two weeks after his second jab, Prince Philip was admitted to Hospital after feeling unwell. Then a month after he underwent a procedure for a heart condition, he died. (2) After five jabs, the Queen died of Myeloma, a B-Cell Bone Marrow cancer. (3) After four jabs, Sarah, Duchess of York was diagnosed with breast cancer. Six months later she was diagnosed with melanoma, an aggressive malignant skin cancer. (4) After five jabs, Catherine, Princess of Wales, was diagnosed with cancer. (5) After five jabs, King Charles was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, with a life expectancy of two years.

The experimental mRNA jabs, effectively compulsory in Australia, were bad for everyone but perhaps the Royal Family were particularly genetically susceptible to their harmful effects (because of genetic similarity between them).

Does anyone know if the mRNA pharmaceutical manufacturing facility that the PM of the current dystopian “ government “ proudly announced was to be established has actually eventuated OR has it gone the same way as his 100,000 new housing promises??

Last report I saw, it opened on 24 Dec 2024

Just remember to check for mRNA on any labels & avoid it. It’s poison, believe me,I’m still suffering as a result of that MAGIC medicine / vaccine!!
Refuse it, there are proven alternatives available

Sorry, misprint 4 Dec 2024.

“…particularly genetically susceptible”
Still makes it 60/40 Phillip+Queen=Charles so yes genetic influence potential given Phillip heritage.
Sarah and Kate were the new bloods with the potential bonus of reducing/cutting down on genetic influences?. STDs are one thing but catching a GTD, need more convincing lol.

It’s a funny thing about random events, they tend to occur together. The alternative is to have regular disasters which smacks of conspiracy.
These health disasters are likely coincident with their ages and then as a remarkably large group of ageing people. None would be surprising on their own. Certainly not Prince Phillip and the Queen who nearly made 100. I did not know Charles had pancreatic but prostate cancer was more likely and very common at 75. They have been in the news and ageing together. Young Catherine was likely ovarian cancer. And sadly it strikes early, before 50. This does not mean mRNA is not responsible in some way in triggering but none are surprising individually or as a group.
However I also read of many ultra fit young people who died suddenly from heart attacks. That stuck me as very unlikely.
120
The King’s other cancer was found during a routine check for prostate cancer.
It is generally believed to be pancreatic cancer.
I’m not sure how the other cancer was discovered as part of a routine prostrate check. Perhaps he had a full body MRI (which can detect both types of cancer)?
60
” Perhaps he had a full body MRI (which can detect both types of cancer)” ..or give you it…

If you have a look at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1AHJc8D-7Vg This includes a report from a British oncologist and highlights the increase in liver cancers and colorectal cancers. Coincidence has been pretty much ruled out because the data passes the Bradford-Hill test for causation. N1-methyl-pseudouridine is used in the Covid jab. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0141813024022323 shows that it is highly likely to accelerate the growth and metastasis of melanoma and cannot be ruled out of having similar effects on other cancers. There are other factors at play such as the crappy purification methods used by Pfizer that left significant contamination in the final product. This included bacterial plasmids, small, circular DNA molecules that are separate from chromosomal DNA and can replicate independently. Current issues in molecular biology 44, 1115-1126 Alden et al, Intracellular reverse transcription of Pfizer BioNTech Covid 19 mRNA vaccine BNY162b2 in vitro in human liver cell line. We were told that the jab would be out of our systems within 72 hours, yet numerous studies have shown that it is still in the body for sometime. A study by Roltgen et al showed the mRNA still in the body after 60 days. Unfortunately, the research ended then, so they were no able to show just how much longer it lasts. One recent study from Yale shows signs of the spike protein still present after 700 days.

Rachel Ziegler, Snow Woke, is trying to get the South Park parody video about her removed.
Now there is also a Simpson’s parody video.
Get woke.
Go broke.
It’s amazing how the Left are not only prepared to destroy entire countries and civilisations in pursuit of their ideology, but companies such as Disney as well.
Video: https://youtu.be/LVJosjUNeNc

It’s not just America. The world runs on American movies. And Snow White was a famous Brothers Grim story. She had skin as white as snow. No longer. No prince. No love story. No fulfilment. No dwarves. No point. And Rachel Zegler is just insufferable. Is that intentional? I cannot believe her agent has not told her to say nothing bad. F Trump Voters alone alienated half the market. Why? Even Hitler pretended to be nice and worked hard on his image. Why did Disney choose Snow White as a hill to die on? Or is that the point, full circle?
90
And seriously, she called Prince Charming a stalker. Is she really so insufferable? Or is that also an act?
50
I don’t think so.
That’s really what the Left think about love and romance.
That’s why so many men are turned away from modern woke feminist women and they seek girlfriends or wives with traditional values, and vice versa, i.e. women seek men with traditional values and who are masculine and not soy boys.
And that’s also why so many Leftists are utterly miserable and lonely people, at least as they get older. And the Leftist women become “Karens” or start hoarding cats. And join The Greens or Teals.
30
It’s amazing how the extreme Left Australian Lamestream Media interpret any statement by Dutton (fake conservative) that is vaguely reminiscent of a TRUMP policy to be a bad thing, without exception and mock him for it.
Firstly, Dutton has few if any policies which are genuinely like TRUMP’s, and neither does his fake conservative party.
Secondly, if Dutton even had ten percent of TRUMP’s policies (as applicable to Australia), it would be a good thing and might even be a winning move for him.
150
Since 2007 (with the possible exception of Tony Abbott) all Opposition to the incumbent Australian Government has campaigned on a ‘small target strategy’, whilst all Australian Governments have also adopted this strategy.
.
This election cycle is no different.
.
Trump has never played a ‘small target strategy’ – in fact, he has played a LARGE target strategy – putting himself, his policy differences front and center of campaigning and has distinguished himself (in power) by genuinely trying to fulfill his campaign promises.
.
The Lamestream Media have no interest in any policy or promise, as such … except to use it or propaganda as a political weapon to bludgeon their opponents.
.
Hence they liken Dutton to Trump, as they liken Trump to Hitler … in the hope of smearing their opponent & it is working.
.
Dutton is no Trump, just as Albo is no Hawke or Keating.

Candace Owens has lost the plot in many, many ways.
But she also thinks the moon landings were fake and even going into space at all, is fake.

At the time I for one was unaware of the risk of passing through the Van Allen radiation belts. Seems like NASA knew a whole bunch of stuff about the difficulties involved in space flight that never got much publicity.
And but for the sceptics quite a few questions worth asking would never be asked. Like some of the photography and how flags wave without an atmosphere.
On another tack I enjoyed her series on the Macrons even if it did end up well short of making a watertight case.
The world is a better place because of Candace Owens.

This website seems very slow today.
Perhaps it is still under attack as Jo previously mentioned.
Obviously the evil forces out there don’t like alternative opinions to the Official Narrative.

Do Australians have a self-destructive streak?
Why are they very likely about to re-elect the worst Government Australia has EVER had, even worse than Whitlam’s?
Admittedly most Australians are indoctrinated by the Left-infiltrated “education” system and the relentless bombardment by the Leftist Lamestream Media but so too are all of us here exposed to the same garbage.
But we don’t have to listen to or believe that garbage.
People have a natural human obligation to seek the truth and not believe everything they are told.
That’s why, ultimately, Australians have no one to blame but themselves for the extreme economic and social destruction that will ensue if they re-elect Green Labor.
130
If labor are reelected they will claim that the people have clearly voted against a nuclear future for Oz and will therefore double down against anyone who promotes it and go gang busters to turn off more coal fired power plants.
Only after the public are exposed, cold and miserable, by a blackout will the masses realise that what they needed was a change of government and a change of direction back to prosperity.
Unfortunately, neither the government nor the opposition care for the future of Oz. If they did, they wouldn’t be talking about more handouts to ease the cost of living, they’d be making change to get rid of the causes. And that’s not going to happen.
How many more statements are the labor team going to make if reelected. For example, we’ve been reelected on a mandate to bring in more of the third world. Or, we need to legislate a voice to parliament because of our return, etc, etc.

David,
Victorians re-elected Labor Dictator Dan Andrews after the Covid Lockdowns
Australia has passed the point where over 50% are on Government Largese – Federal/State/Local Government Bureaucrats, NDIS, BOM, CSIRO, etc, etc
The Young & Grandkids are brainwashed by Education on Climate Change/Global Warming and Social Media & favour Greens/TEALs
Australia is already down the Drain under Labor PM Albo, Blackout Bowen, Wong, Dreyfus etc, with Greens & TEALs help, and will be finished off totally in the next 3 years under Labor/Greens/TEALs Minority Government

I used to like to think that politicians would one day feel guilty and bad for their numerous lies and other misdeeds.
But I don’t think that will happen because a high proportion of them are psychopaths and physically mostly incapable of feeling guilt or remorse (unless they personally suffer the consequences).

Apparently, the best we can do is stop them playing golf.
How long before that act is FOUND to be illegal with the outcome being jail time or asset(s) seizure for all involved.

Almost bigger than Davos, almost bigger than COP, Il Papa’s funeral later today will see eighty heads of state and their entourage(s) fly into Rome, Italy to honour a climate warrior who preached the evils of carbon dioxide and mann-made pollution and overt flaunting of wealth and power…
Meanwhile the children still suffer.

Carbon dioxide is definitely the worst pollutant in human history, a work of the devil. Science is anti religion. So religion is now anti science.
Facts and logic are other works of the devil. The new approach is called THE Science. Or Climate Change. Or Net Zero.
And promises Dark Ages poverty for all. The good old times for religions.

Apparently the Pope left a substantial fortune in his will. I have no idea what the definition of “substantial” is but I would have thought that a person in the position of Pope wouldn’t actually have a need for any earthly possessions. A job for life, the best of every thing, accommodation, medical services, food, travel, all provided by the faithful. With no wife or children as direct decendants , why would a person need to accumulate anything. The position is very different to a Royal house where the dynasty must be continually financed to ensure its continuance, the papacy just rolls on, no pope connected to any other pope by family ties. Its the “job” and the job just keeps rolling on.

Letitia James, the prosecutor which led a psychotic witch-hunt against President TRUMP has been referred to the DoJ for felony mortgage fraud, almost the same thing she falsely accused TRUMP of.
She will likely go to jail if found guilty.
The hypocrisy and double standards of the Left are staggering.
https://youtu.be/Ly0rKadvo94
10
And as per one of the comments, if she claims her principal place of residence in Virginia to get the favourable mortgage, then that renders her ineligible to be the Attorney General of New York.
Therefore she shouldn’t be in that position either, which also might be a crime. Apart from that, it might make anything she has done in that position, including TRUMP’s persecution and prosecution, null and void as well.

Great point. Why are all these awful, hypocritical, self serving, opportunistic and totally compromised prosecutors black women? And I include Kamala Harris. Plus most of the Mayors.

Britain’s Nepali Warriors
The Life-Changing Journey Of Being Selected As A Gurkha 21 Mins 57 Secs
Every year 10,000 Nepalese men apply to take on Gurkha selection and join the British Army. It can be the start of a life-changing career or the end of a dream.
This year, 400 were selected – the largest amount to join the British Army in 30 years. We joined them to get a close look at their journeys.
Something Australian Army should be looking at implementing here in Australia – An Australian Gurkha Regiment based on Britain’s Model,
The Gurkha’s who have been fighting for Britain for over 200 Years
We have a large Nepalese Community in Sydney Northern Beaches and they are an excellent community fit.
This is Australia’s fastest-growing migrant community
Australia has become a magnet for people from one unexpected South Asian country – and the new community has brought some unique traditions with it.
