“I have no fear,” a boat captain, tells the reporter.

I am amazed that so many “Open door” Latte sippers don’t hang their heads in shame for their  support and encouragement the criminal disregard for the lives of “asylum seekers” that is clearly evident in the admissions from these people smugglers.

“I have no fear,” one man, a boat captain, tells the reporter.
“I heard that when [...]

Bob making sense on Australia’s population

Politicians and intellectuals who advocate a continuing exponential  growth in our population, and an ever expanding immigration program are part of of that mad scurry to add more people to the wide brown land. I have travelled over a great deal of this lovely country and as vast  and beautiful as it is the one [...]

“The Darwin Awards were invented because of people like this,” so should we give them one .. or two?

I am fully supporting of these lovely Aussie ladies bravely performing their audition for Australian Idol barefoot and in not-much-clothing on top a crocodile trap in the croc-infested waters of the Maningrida River in Northern Territory. But why the local press in Darwin is giving them such a hard time is beyond my sense of fair [...]

Refugee processing, at “mates rates” or how Brother Number One can’t negotiate and win

The whole sorry saga of the “Asylum seekers” plucked out of their stricken boat, at the request of the Indonesian government, in the Indonesian rescue zone has been a disaster fro the government of Brother Number One. And You can bet London to a brick that future aspiring immigrants will take what has happened on [...]

The only realistic penalty for such a crime has to be death.

I have often argued here that there are some crimes for which there is only one adequate penalty . Well what could be a better case in point than the cold-blooded murder of more than 3000 people on 9-11?

Mohammed and his four co-accused will be brought from the controversial prison at Guantanamo [...]

Anna Bligh(t) damned by Dam denial

I was rather interested to hear that the Traveston Dam has been knocked on the head by the Federal Government  because one of my good friends here on the mountain is actaully a refugee from this  now aborted project.  Even more amazing is the bullshit talk from Anna Bligh(t) that the only alternative that must [...]

“The Philippines solution”? Oh yeah that will work

This has to be one of the most sadly desperate bits of politicking from Brother Number One that I have seen in a long time: “The Philippines solution” Now won’t the Latte sippers have a field day with this one!

The Australian government is still working to broker a solution acceptable to the Indonesians and the [...]

The Latte sippers idea of Justice

Rape is a terrible crime on so many different levels, to its victims it is devastating, in some instances they feel that being murdered would have brought them less suffering. Victims are forever scared by this horrid crime. Prosecutors hate the crime because the evidence upon which they must act is far too often only [...]

Recognise the problem

Instances of Muslim-on-unbeliever violence inspire the victim school to dig up new and imaginative excuses. Colorful examples (drawing on my article and weblog entry about denying Islamist terrorism) include:

1990: “A prescription drug for … depression” (to explain the assassination of Rabbi Meir Kahane)
1991: “A robbery gone wrong” (the murder of Makin Morcos in Sydney)
1994: “Road [...]

The fence sitters delima

Now this is a turn up for the books, who would have thought that the spokesman for the boat load of Sri Lankians detained by the Indonesians is not what he claims to be?
You can bet the Latte Sippers who want to insist that every claimant is Kosher will be trying very hard to avoid [...]

Take them at their word

I “love” the way that my Latte sipping friends want to insist that Islam and its nutters do not want to conquer the world . Mainly because it seems to me to be a valiant imitation of the ostrich’s defensive head burying behaviour. The fact of the matter is that among the motivated believers  a [...]

It’s time the UnAustralians @ Groupthink grew up and finally left school … and stopped poo-pooing the Melbourne Cup

I have to report on some sad goings on over at sadsack.com central. In this our week of greatest national party pride what do I find? What have I accedentaly stumbled on over at that new site which is the watered down version of Grods? Theys hanging shit on our national day – the Melbourne [...]

Drink driving

When I was active in the Apex Club one of our members worked as a delivery driver for a lagre soft drink company and his name badge proudly proclaimed that he was a “Drink Driver”, The double entendre of that badge made all of us laugh most heartily. Of course driving while pissed is never [...]

Down and UP

Although I enjoy the security of owning my own home I have a great deal of respect for the idea of public housing that is available to people at a reasonable rent and with secure long term tenancy, If you leave aside the investment potential of home ownership the most important thing that everyone needs [...]

“CSIRO managers had written to the journal’s editor demanding the paper not be published.”

When I first heard that the government of Brother Number One was planning to tackle “Global Warming” with an ETS I immediately had a vision of the great leader trying to control a very large bus from the back seat by tying a couple of strands of soggy spaghetti to the steering wheel and [...]
