Saturday Sanity Check
You're not crazy, they are!
Can the PM get any more ridiculous?
After yesterday announcing a $4.7b package to tackle domestic violence, Anthony Albanese asked the media pack if they had any questions.
When a male reporter began to speak, the PM sharply cut him off and said …
“I’m deliberately going to women before blokes.”
Er, would that be biological women or biological men dressed as women who have a legal right to be pretend woman?
Anyway, Albo rolled his eyes in obvious annoyance that the male reporter hadn’t figured out he should let the ladies go first.
If it was inappropriate for a bloke to ask a question about the government’s domestic violence policy, isn’t it inappropriate for a bloke to be announcing the policy?
Using a press conference on domestic violence to shamelessly virtue signal is just pathetic.
Apparently Karen still reads The New York Times.
The Climate Change Authority has advised the Government Australians should eat less red meat to help us reach Net Zero.
In the interests of transparency, why don’t those on the Climate Change Authority release details of every taxpayer funded meal they have enjoyed.
What are the odds that we’ll discover these climate Chicken Littles are enjoying steak whilst tut-tutting the rest of us for not being vegans?
In July the Yarra Council recommended all ratepayers switch to plant-based diets in order to lower global temperatures, as if the dinner plates of people in Yarra were that consequential.
Anyway, we learned that the Yarra Council members were being served ratepayer funded steaks for dinner before every council meeting, including the one at which they voted residents should go vegetarian!
We know where the flatulence is coming from, and it's not the cattle!
Consider these two stories …
Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek is contemplating whether it will block a copper mine in Lake Torrens because Indigenous people say the area “entails a number of Dreaming tracks and Songlines”.
Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek has said she will not block a gas project in the Timor Sea despite concerns it will endanger a rare sea snake.
So we’re moving heaven and earth to protect mythical Rainbow Serpents while endangering actual serpents.
What a time to be alive.
Has any word in the English language been more demonised than the word “discrimination”?
The principal of Liverpool Boys School in southwest Sydney has referred to single-sex education as “a discriminatory structure” and promised to merge with a neighbouring girls school.
Principal Michael Saxon said the merger with Liverpool Girls high school would be a “positive step towards diversity and anti-discriminatory practice”.
He said …
“Single-sex schools are really a discriminatory structure, not sure how they comply with discrimination laws.”
Other discriminatory practices include purchasing a Ford over a Holden, eating Thai rather than Italian and preferring women without penises to those packing a bit extra, if you know what I mean.
Of course single sex schools are discriminatory. But discrimination is not always a bad thing and it’s not always wrong.
Seems to me the principal is just another wokeling, tootling on his PC flute.
The US Justice Department has accused Vladimir Putin of orchestrating a covert claim to influence the upcoming presidential election.
They allege Russians were manipulating social media to try to help Trump win in November.
Who knows if that’s true.
But the Biden-Harris Administration was pressuring Facebook to suppress a news story about Hunter Biden’s laptop just prior to the 2020 election.
Might the US Justice Department take action on that confirmed act of election interference?
You already know the answer.
Hamas executed six Israeli hostages this week.
Where were the Greens? Our righteous betters, devoted to human rights and justice?
Where was Amnesty International?
Where were the activists who march every other weekend insisting that “the killing must stop”?
Our human rights activists don’t get out of bed for murdered Jews.
The Australian Government was almost mute. They issued a single tweet condemning Hamas but omitting anything about the need to bring them to justice.
The final line of the tweet said …
“Every innocent life matters.”
Does the Australian Government seriously think most of us value the life of a Jew over the life of a Palestinian, or vice versa?
What grates about that inane “every innocent life matters” line is that it insinuates some kind of moral equivalence between hostages being shot at point blank range in the back of the head by terrorists with the unintended deaths arising from Israel’s pursuit of terrorists using human shields.
‘We know where the flatulence is coming from, and it's not the cattle’…
Amen to that.
Thanks James, so much material to entertain us. I’m surprised they’ve taken the Putin interference route again, essentially after Zuckerberg’s admission. It’s so boring now, I can’t hardly believe they have the stamina to keep saying the same rubbish.
Lots of segregated high schools have merged but the data shows that teenagers do better in single sex schools.
Why does one minister such as Tanya have so much power? Surely there’s that small thing known as consultation. Albo needs to rein her in or at least call the election before she makes any more decisions. Hopefully Dutton and his crew will be able to overturn them???
