@whitesundesert In 1977 I stayed in Bamiyan and you could climb up through the cliff and stand on the Buddhas head. The Hazara people lived around there but it was Pashtuns who destroyed the Buddhas. The pit bulls of Afghanistan.

If the UN and "international community" was worth a damn and not a cover for the worst elements of humanity, they'd have unanimously authorized the US military to send warplanes to eliminate any Taliban who went within a mile of these statues, and paid for the fuel.

@whitesundesert Like Billy Bragg with catchier tunes.

I like a lot of Springsteen’s music and he is great live, but he is one giant phony.

No, Springsteen wrote songs about the struggles of the American blue collar worker as a criticism of Republicans, and then supported the Democrats to the absolute max as they completely demolished them as a class and hung out with his fellow multimillionaire Democrat friends.

@PaulineHansonOz The Werribee sewage farm is a better location.

When One Nation win seats in the next Victorian parliament, we will relocate the new Daniel Andrews statue to a special Museum of Underwater Art in Antartica.

@FredPawle I contend that every Welcome To Country is a campaign speech for One Nation.

If you thought the federal budget boosted One Nation's polling, wait till you see how many people are driven towards ON after hearing about this decision. Pauline Hanson and ON will be able to form government in their own right after the next election, at this rate.

@simongerman600 Should be read from right to left.

Great little piece by @semi_rad.

The single idea that explains everything. Legal positivism. Most Australians have never heard the term, yet it is the quiet philosophical revolution that dismantled the original Australia. Legal positivism is the belief that whatever the Parliament passes and the courts uphold is automatically legitimate law — there is no higher moral, natural, or historical authority. If the state declares it, it is law. End of story. This single philosophical shift is the master key that unlocked every major problem we face today. Because once you accept that the state can redefine the nation without the consent of the people, then everything else follows. And here is the brutal truth: If you are truly Australian — if you are proud of this nation and how it was built, if you believe in the original compact between the people and the state — then you are forced to reach one unavoidable conclusion: The current managerial state is morally illegitimate. It has no moral right to rule over us. It changed the fundamental character of this country without ever asking the Australian people for their consent. It replaced the old constitutional compact with a new post-national order, and then declared its own actions lawful under the rules of legal positivism. Every grievance we see — mass immigration without consent, the erosion of free speech, the institutional inversion of ASIO, the expanding surveillance powers — all of it flows from this one philosophical root. Of course they will call this destabilising. But questioning the moral legitimacy of the state has always been the first step toward real change — because no system that has lost its moral foundation deserves to endure. Legal positivism didn’t just change the rules. It replaced the moral foundation of the nation with raw state power. And that is why the old Australia and the current managerial state are fundamentally incompatible.

@dpascard145 @jeremyct If they amassed their wealth what is stopping you.

@jeremyct My personal experiences with the Boomer Gen is that they are extremely selfish. They all seem hellbent on burning through their amassed wealth leaving kids fend for themselves.

a friend’s parents bought their house in 1993 for $67,000 same house is worth $1,200,000 today he’s their only son spent years quietly knowing that house was coming to him someday they sold it last week to fund their retirement he found out over dinner just sat there nodded said “that’s great mom” went home and did the math $1,200,000 gone before he ever touched it boomers didn’t just win the housing market once they won it twice

@whitesundesert 😉

@DerPloom A lot of women support Islam because they want those legs covered up also.

In how many western countries would you get arrested for telling this joke? How many comedians in western countries wouldn't tell it for fear of violent reprisals?

@RaminNasibov Britain was once a great nation.

What historical fact sounds fake but is true?

@Charles37187127 @RoadknightThe @ronInBendigo I recommend the Near East Kitchen. Great food and coffee.

@DerPloom @RoadknightThe @ronInBendigo Bridge Mall is open to one way traffic again.

This happens not just in Bendigo and Geelong, but many places: there's a successful retail strip, so the council decides to close it and make it a pedestrian mall. Fewer people are then exposed to its shops, so they close. The Council then turns it back. @ronInBendigo abc.net.au/news/2026-05-1…

@RoadknightThe No matter what you think of One Nation at least they haven’t lied to us yet.

Ouch!

@Trev__Says @peaceitw Owner occupiers = Indians and Chinese.

@peaceitw Hey idiot, because investment in properties will not be as attractive, therefore opening the market to more owner occupiers

My take

@bazzacc2 Judging by dialogue in these posts I’d say these are all paid Labor trolls attempting to represent what they believe to be ordinary Australians.

Why the fucking hell is Hanson getting so much media?????? She's an idiot

@ronInBendigo Paul Kelly and the Dots and Jo Jo Zep and the Falcons having the night off.

Remember live music? December 1981.

@HVNYrefugee “ We’re enviromental protesters. “ She expected, “ In that case Miss , you are free to go. “

We should put this guy in charge of everything.

@sandylanceley London is closer to Asia than Melbourne.

Australia is, in fact, *not* geographically part of Asia It is part of a region called Oceania and is its own continent separate from Asia. Whilst this region is next to Asia, it is not a part of Asia.

@RoadknightThe My mistake. I meant to send it to someone to show how the plight of aborigines in Australia is used to enable crony activism. You do great work.

@DerPloom I know. I posted that earlier.

Some take-outs from this article from today's The Australian. Children are playing in the grass on a school day. Car wrecks and litter surround most of the houses." About 200m away is the Alice Springs tip. There are 278 employees responsible for management/maintenance. /2
