For all his faults, Fraser ended up been a great ex pm, he used his position for social causes and excelled. Unlike every Liberal ex pm since.

It should be noted that the only one in the world who could kill Hitler was Hitler.

For water crossing, unless you can safely walk into the water and check total depth, ie safe enough to walk into then it is a no go period. Cars,4wd and even trucks are no match for running water. If you don't trust it to walk through, then stay away. That means the driver does the walk not a passenger, so the idiot behind the wheel pays the piper. If someone dies, you the driver have killed them and should expect a manslaughter change or dangerous driving occasioning death. There is absolutely no excuse. A goal sentence is the only adequate response. No remorse or I thought it would be okay is enough. We don't accept it in boats or aircraft and vehicles should be the same. Every flood event sees some idiot kill themselves and often others with a it's fine attitude. And the poor rescue guys risk their life to rescue them.

Climate change or global heating is really kicking in fast. Meanwhile new mines and gas ventures get a big tick and the world burns...

Now the storm has stopped in Port Stephens and the sun's out. But never count your luck, as I speak the wind went from zero to 25knts...bugger

I can certainly say it's fuckin wet and windy with huge swells in Port Stephens. Lots of flooding expected, down trees, pot holes that swallow cars and it's only getting started. It's only 4 weeks since our last disaster declaration and still repairing from that. Doesn't stop fuckwits fishing or surfing though. If they get hurt, they deserve it. The rescue guys are in big enough danger without wankers putting them at risk. No rescues except for imminent danger to life at the moment. Stay safe peeps

Holden- just holding together to get of the dealers lot. My friend's dad was a Chrysler dealer and cars came with rust as new and had to be repaired before sale plus replace the dumbshit email carb for a Holley. The factory always screwed the dealer, that's why they failed and went bankrupt. Even modern ice cars have problems in silly areas, everytime I see a white Mitsubishi car or ute from 2000-2015, they have paint peeling off and leaving bare steel. I don't know if it's salt air but they all seem to peel off- only plain white ones. The locals add big stickers where it peels to hold on the paint. Absolute shit house paint jobs esp for a plain white, not all panels are gal dipped, pathetic for a expensive mega bucks ute. My partner's Lancer looks like it's got skin falling off. All the shit they gave Alfa for rust and the Japs rust and peel but the Italian is unheard of to rust for a modern one. It's rare to see a modern jap box over 10 years old without the clear coat stuffed for metallics. Not bloody good enough. Meanwhile this southerly low is very rocky on the boat.

All good points. I was thinking how when doing a press conference about the report stating his club had been horribly racist against black players including insisting their girlfriends get abortions etc. And the prick said it was a proud day for the club, and he meant it. His sins are many

I would watch if they put Eddie Maguire head on a spike to kick off the game. That is fair sport

Forget the fake Chesterfield, they cost a bomb and wear out real fast. Buy a quality real leather one 2 nd hand and it will have quality in build and comfy long life cushioning. It really pays to wait for a real one to come up. Fake leather wears fast then looks shite. Just bought a $5000 Italian lounge for $1000 as new for art studio, very high quality and far cheaper than a fake new.

Anyone want to buy a bridge, going cheap?

Never been called Maga anything before. I am a life long social ecologist. About as far left from Maga as Jupiter.

The nats were never going to stay out, but used it as a dummy spit to get a better deal. Losing the extra wages and huge perks, as the opposition party was never a option. Barnyard and co my be on the outer, however they are still very much the same bunch of knobs. I notice Price got demoted from a potential cabinet spot but still got shadow Defence and something else- money, resources and power for a traitor. They are the same devious scheming fuckers just the faces out front change.

Another page from the fascist playbook . Remove the intellectuals, the free thinkers, anyone who may disagree with "maga" thought. Next it's jail anyone who will not bow to his power. This has already started by detaining immigrants and visitors to the USA, merely on impressions you are anti trump. Very scary stuff

Shannon Doherty?

Platypus are carnivores.

Sounds like hold my beer and pass the shotgun moment to me.

Besides the big end of town complaints and Duttons bullshit tax free entertainment plan for bussiness- basically to boost the biggest pub owners profits. He had no clue about the real world, esp. the 12 mth only excise drop compared to all taxpayers getting a permanent cut. That just fostered more car/ mega ute use. So more traffic and greater commute times with more pollution and oil profits. Work from home has actually increased productivity, reduced traffic peaks, reduced pollution and greatly added to family life. It also saved a lot of travel/ car expenses. For working parents it meant not needing to spend most of your wage on childcare, if you can get a place. Fundamentally it has been a social policy boom and economically a success. It also provides a more balanced life for parents and kids. For tradies it means lower travel times and owners are available when you come to do work at homes. It's a Work to Live policy. Live to Work is LNP DNA, they hate the idea of workers having any power. For a so called liberal/national party of small government they sure love telling us how to live, what to think and spending public money on private profits.

Lovely 28. Degrees.

My funeral will be burial at sea. I like the idea of a nice boat ride and feeding back to nature, not polluting it more at great expense. If anyone objects to my greenie choice, it will be two been fed to the sharks. Naturally you must be far out and attract some bighters. Don't want the kiddies to see body chunks on the beach. Boaties and fishers call sharks the taxman. The taxman must get his fair share, he keeps the ocean governed. I want to be placed on the alter of life itself, to me that's the ocean.

Voldemort has been booted. Awesome

If it's my family, it would be both. Definitely a funeral giggle.

Scary, the oligarchy and political capture seem sure to head us to destruction. Imagine if Stephen Fry was president how different the world would be. The world our children inherit is nothing like any human has ever seen or could imagine in all but the most catastrophic sci-fi. We are running half blind to extinction.

They sure did, my second partners dad had the "luck" of been hit three different times by German subs. First time he escaped the engine room just in time. The second was on deck, the third in the wheel house. He was very lucky, each time he was rescued and only minor burns at worst. Most never had a chance or drowned. He was one extremely lucky engineer. They called him " hard to kill Bill" The British merchant navy was a far more deadly job then a war ship posting.
