All Activity

Had a ripper thunderstorm from about 3:30 to 4:00PM today, we got a hammering with around 16mm of heavy rain. Very nice to be cooled down, after the temperature peaked at just over 40° at around 2:30PM.

It's high time that a major clampdown on the illegal firearm industry is commenced. You get found trading, dealing or holding illegal firearms, you go to jail for 10 yrs minimum. Apply terrorism laws to them. Holding, storing or dealing in illegal firearms is simply preparatory planning to kill numbers of people, that should be a terrorism offence and receive major sentencing accordingly. We need to drive these people out of Australia. Tens of thousands of innocent, honest, careful gun owners have been treated like criminals and forced to give up thousands and thousands of their firearms - but this does exactly NOTHING to prevent criminals such as this pair from acquiring high powered firearms and lots of ammunition. Hunt down all those involved in the supply of the illegal firearms and ammo, and send them down for 20 or 25 yrs. They're oxygen thieves. GON, surely you jest about taking up firearms again at an age when a lot of people are in retirement and nursing homes? I haven't fired a shot in over 40 years, since my house burnt down and I lost my rifles and shotguns - and both you and I would certainly be no match for a fit and active 20 or 30 yr old with a firearm. I get down on the ground now, and it takes me 20 seconds, to get back upright again!

11:30 pm update. 12 Dead, including a 12 year old girl. 29 in hospital, some critical. One perpetrator dead, one in custody. One of them known to ASIO, not considered dangerous. Explosive devices discovered in a car. Removed. The man who disarmed one shooter was shot in the arm by the other shooter on the bridge.

I wish their porky arsehole would quietly expire and definitely not be exported.

I'm waiting for the Police to say: "There's no further danger to the Public".

This is terrible on so many levels. Firstly for the dead, the injured and their loved ones. Unimaginable what they're going through. More long term, the social cohesion of this country. As we see in a post already, people will use this tragedy as an excuse to blame the government, or whatever group they have a grudge against. Those who love authoritarianism will use this to push their barrow and change this country for the worse under the pretense of needing greater security. Division and intolerance will increase. This happened despite us having some of the best gun control laws in the world. And it is a sad fact of life that evil people will find a way to carry out evil deeds. While it is early in the reporting of this event, I understand that one of the alleged perpetrators is dead and the other in custody. That at least is a good thing.

The Security agencies really stuffed up didn't they? Right now Albo is on TV reading an off-the-shelf speech.

This is one job we could be re-conscripted for, something worthwhile. We were told to keep our certificates of discharge in case we were needed again. Well we are needed again now, I would volunteer. What's the latest Army rifle?, I'd take one and get to work.

Hey I was only highlighting a product that USA has a surplus of. The could benefit from exporting their surplus porky arseholes.

More than that, I believe that Both Russia and USA presently aim to break up the EU. It would be far easier for them to intimidate or intimidate the disparate European countries if they can be separated.

I think it's normally called Fate. If you're destined to die that moment as an innocent victim, that's it. Had my share of narrow squeaks with the Grim Reaper, and rarely due to anything I'd done wrong.

Time to have a good sweeping clean-out of Western Sydney - home of thugs, criminals and now, mass-murderers.

Oct 7th comes to Australia. Congratulations Albo.

Latest update: 10 confirmed dead, at least 16 taken to hospital.

One gunmen was hiding behind a tree shooting at people when the bravest person ever attacked him from behind and wrestled the gun off him. The gunman got up and ran away. The other gunmen on a bridge nearby started shooting at the brave civilian. You will see video on the TV for the next couple of days.

Two men in black, armed with what look like military style rifles started shooting on people celebrating Hanukkah on Bondi Beach. Unconfirmed reports that up to 12 people have been killed, including children. There is a possibility one of the gunmen has been killed.

What you describe is exactly what I experienced growing up and leading a young adult life in Australia - admittedly largely insulated from having to deal with First Nations on a day to day basis. However, this is very different to being taught to feel guilty about it. I doubt there are too many non-Aboriginals that feel guilty about Aboriginal past treatment, and I doubt there is, in the national curriculum, education designed to impart guilt (I am speaking to my brother today - will ask since he is an educator). In fact, I would not hesitate to say, we were passively taught disrespect with some of the teaching I recall... Propagation of lots of myths.

Nothing dogly about it.. If you're in the wrong spot at the wrong time, little you can do about itsould a flying disc come hurtling towards you at breakneck (pardon the pun) speed. Luck, cpincidence, freakish, or whatever one likes to call it.
