I was going to call this: “You’re being divisive by not agreeing with me!” but I worried that it may just be lost with all the similar suggestions floating round the planet at the moment…
I’ve been very careful not to comment on the problems in the Middle East… And when I say problems in the Middle East, I’ve very careful not to use words like slaughter and innocent civilians and innocent aid workers and innocent Jewish hostages who were shot by innocent IDF soldiers who mistook them for guilty people because they were walking towards them bare-shirted with their hands in the air…
But the recent complaints from people that Bibi can’t be charged by the International Criminal Court can’t charge him AND the Hamas terrorists because of “moral equivalence”… On a point of pure logic this is ridiculous. It’s like saying that, “Officer, you can’t charge me with being over the legal limit because I believe that driver over there is not only over the limit, but he’s also driving a stolen car…”
Ok, I know that some people will immediately accuse me of being antisemitic even if I protest that I still watch Woody Allen films from time to time, but that’s what it’s like in Australia with that whole terrible political correctness 18C thing where you can’t be a bigot and offend people based on their religion, race or… Hey, weren’t the Liberals going to repeal that so we could all offend people left, right and centre? Or was it only left?
Poor Laura Tingle is in trouble because she had the temerity to suggest that a policy from Peter Dutton which blamed immigrants for our housing problem was somehow racist and may lead to people blaming immigrants for a lot of our problems. Doesn’t she know that people on the ABC should just stick to the facts like all those ones who suggest that Labor has stuffed up or that The Greens are too extreme or that all those Independents are really part of the same Teal party which has no constitution, rules or members…
Oh, I seem to strayed from my original point by trying to argue that we should all be equal under the law, even if we happen to be the leader of a country or President of the USA, and that basic human decency is a fine thing and any propaganda which says that it’s ok to treat people in a way that would have you universally condemned if you treated a puppy the same way should be put in the bin along with anyone who thinks that it’s forgivable because I’m only Goebbels and not the guy turning on the gas.
It seems like a rather inopportune moment to turn back to the topic I was originally going to talk about but there ya go!
Richie Sunak has got the winning formula for the Conservatives in the UK: National Service!
Ok, I don’t expect Labor to win Queensland but in my humble opinion, the Queensland Premier’s 50c public transport fare is more likely to win votes, even if not enough to win him an election… but it could get him a free ticket to the 50 Cent rapper’s next concert…
So, of course, Costello media immediately runs a poll about National Service in Australia… Not that Petey Costello has any connection to the current Liberal Party but one has to wonder if this is their way of finding out what we think because if they asked a polling company to do it, then someone would leak the idea that they were considering it.
Of course, you may point out that Peter Dutton has said nothing on National Service, which means that he undoubtedly has a policy on it that he’s not releasing. Or else he doesn’t have a policy on it but he’ll release one if the polls suggest that it might raise his polling enough that rising sea levels won’t drown him.
Sort of like his nuclear policy which is going in an electorate somewhere not near you… wherever you live!

When are your collected thought pieces coming out in paperback? They always give me a good chuckle, while at the same time being somewhat challenging in the underlying message.
Well, if you can get me a publisher I’m more than happy to edit everything from “Fifty Shades of Tony” to anything that seems just as topical today… I could always just publish them on Bookfunnel…
There were brown floaters off Bondi long ago, before the sewage outfalls moved on from mediaeval darkness and outright pollution. Some called them “blind mullet”, a severe insult to a valuable fish. Peter Duckwit-Futton has less value than a mullet to me, unfryably unappetising. Our Peter is not sharp at all in most areas though he has a degree in business (hah), notorious as a USA cash grabber from unscrupulous outfits in fringe tertiary ed. One might have thought he had thus been trained to add, multiply, calculate, estimate and all the while be honest to numbers as required for a reputation.., but no. The Dickson bumkicker and inflated racist raver is a big botherer, one who actually avoids accuracy in order to stimulate those deficient dimwits who follow dogshit Hadley radio and Merde Dog’s repulsively dishonest STY newsless Der Sturmer copycat rubbish. Lies count, and the lie gobblers abound; after all. look at Trump’s said numbers, hordes of utter duncery dickheads swallowing a smelly brown sandwich of lying filth as GOSPEL. Expertise is ignored, truth is challenged, civilisation is insulted, lies bulge…
Potty Boy Dutton should not ever be permitted to have a policy on national service, and for this very reason. National service was abolished when the little arsehole was two! If you have never done national service, you shouldn’t be able to propose it! Potty Boy is a fascist! Note that when the law goes against him, he complains! And seeks to change it to suit his agenda.
P Duddy only has enough brain capacity to think about one brain far…er, policy, at a time. He would do David Cronenberg proud if he had a second thought for a new policy…nope, brain fart.
The writing on the wall (in most of the floaters that Phil mentioned?) is there for all to see that Sunak in his desperation is coming up with more and more brilliant vote killers. Then again we should never underestimate the vacuity of voters.
At the moment P Duddy is more worried about being caught in the rain ala Rishi Sunak as that is a surefire career ending spectacle.
Can you imagine the rain cascading over his dome like Ayers Rock, the cartoonists would have a ball !
The first step in attempting to be credible, and law abiding, with empathy is to proudly announce oneself to be antisemitic.
Otherwise you are in the genocidal, belligerently dishonest,cowboy, “Do what we can get away with” camp.
As scomo would say, don`t be afraid, show it publicly.
always worth a read Rossleigh, thanks for continuing to keep us sane 😛
Perhaps if we all chip in we could get a publisher 🙂
I can’t imagine Der Spud, or any other LNP pollie for that matter, doing anything at all until after Gina has told them what presents she wants as she hands out the brown envelopes full of all year round Christmas cheer.
P Duddy isn’t in charge anymore so horrible Labor and certain sectors of the media should stop picking on him for the vileness and nastiness he inflicted througout his nine years. Albanese should be nice to him and give him his old job back because he’s missing not being able grind people into the dirt with his hobnail boots anymore.

There’s a rather pertinent article in today’s New Daily(Abul Rizvi), highlighting the gross incompetence of this pretender, when he was responsible? for immigration/border farce.Leader of a mob of total failures.No conscience,no remorse, no idea.The stink of the previous government continues to permeate the country,despite the best efforts of the trash media to ignore it.
