Its a worry. Even more so when they have that weird pyramid with a secret society feel about it. What is that?

Not just backbones, they need a actual IQ injection, a heart and a huge dose of ethics.

Anyone who thinks the private market can do the work of government is either deluded, after a quick buck or trying to reduce regulation controls for their benefit. Just look at the curent government, they outsource everything they can. The knowledge is lost, the experts disappear and the responsibility is buck passed. And it costs more to do less. Simple maths and basic economics, you can not do the same work add in a big profit and do it for the same cost. Something always suffers and its the public.

Anytime a government say " if you have nothing to hide......." We should be very worried, that has long been the maxim of fascist states. You know men in black shirts with faces covered, big guns and a overarching super ministry controlling the populace. Just like .....our new " home affairs". There is a reason the uniform is black and they are Border Force not service.

Cotton irrigation is quickly killing the whole area. And has killed many a farmer with the sprays. Many get stomach cancer, very nasty. My pop died from it and he was not alone. We are using very precious water for a crop you can't eat and covering with chemicals to create a bio desert. My family were sheep farmers all the way back to the 1830s. When I said don't be a copper, it was not boredom but sheer danger. My niece's husband was highway patrol- great bloke always getting in shit for not fineing but rather just talking to motorists. He was patrolling Griffith to Hay until recently and done solo. Problem been - never pull over a car until you have radioed its plate and get feedback. All should be dual police per car out there. The danger is often extreme. The drug running is the problem, often with two or more armed blokes. A car full of cash or drugs and no intent on getting caught or giving up. They do big operations sometimes but normally it is just a cop on his own and no help for up to 2 hours. You can only run the gauntlet for so long and your luck will run out. Probably 100 times more dangerous than anywhere in Australia. Big money, ice, bikies and guns. Its a bit Like the wild west. Now he has married and a father, its no job for a family man or anyone with a expectation of a long healthy life. So he has left and gets to live another day.... Its still Hell out at Hay, its just hidden now.

We wish Nev, we could only wish. They have a independent government and a great leader.

Yep footbrawl did seem to loom large in the shadows. Lots of makeup teams from shearing sheds. Just what the powderkeg needed, a heap of real thirsty shearers, two weeks since a bender, a pocket full of cash and a love of gentlemen's entertainment. Queensbury rules my butt, I hadn't realised how much shearers love a good brawl and the bloody rivalry between some sheds. But if one shearer got a thump from a local, they all ganged together. You would not want to be the local copper, not then and not now.

That's it then, we need to find that mongrel Dog and chop his balls off. He has really farked everything up.

And people wonder why I don't like guns? I know guns don't kill people....... F.....wits with guns do

As a lad I spent many a holiday in a far distant land that had a little resemblance to Dimboola. Family would come from far and wide for a wedding.......damn that would be exciting. All those relatives, all that grog, life long bones to pick and a plethora of guns. But you had to get there first with no guarantee of leaving. If you managed to not meet Skippy and his mob in the kingswood on the plains, a exciting time lay ahead. Even better was the bus as Skippy exploded across the front. Naturally I speak of Hay. From Hay you can look anywhere and find Hell and just down road is Booligal. Hence the term Hay , Hell and Booligal. A town with from memory had 600 people, at least 10 pubs and 200 Ute's with very angry hunting dogs. All good, no worries mate, just chill and have a drink....relax. Until I realised there is only a few things to do in Hay...... Rooting- most likely someone else's girl. Fighting- over the girl or from losing a bet on who would bed the girl. Followed up by some friendly shooting. Generally the lads would just lay waste to some poor buggers car, but some went for long walks..... Hay is a particularly attractive spot for transporting drugs to cities. Initially from the Griffith area, think Donald Mckay and today from Adelaide etc and is ice land. I spent most my school holidays in Hay. The safest thing I ever did was go to Maude weir fishing........... With a stick of dynamite. I was only a bloody kid for firetrucks sake. Hell is meant to be after you die. Kids should not have to milk cows Early in the morning either. The chickens, I could chop heads etc, But milking ........ Maybe it was because I had to go to the neighbours to do it. He was the bloody stonemason, undertakers, grave digger and engineer. A sea of headstones in mist had to be negotiated to get to the milking. I was only a 8 year old lad. Would have felt so much safer in ...anywhere. Maude tended to be safe most days. The barmaid was well known, for the pump action under the counter. Mexicans on shooting trips were often trigger happy. Little wonder, holidays were interesting........

Would that be illegal? What stapling a back pack onto a child's back? What if the stapler was yours not the schools? I'll get back in my cave

I reckon any sane bloke in his position would be bargaining all he could. That would mean dumping all his trumping mates in. People like that and his fellow party friends tend to have egos the size of planets. They rarely kill them selves, their self belief and sociopathic tendency's won't allow it. I reckon people in very low places reached out and solved the problem. Pity the poor victims who will never get justice. And all the rich low life mates get to party another day or elected.

As long as he does not go postal. We leave that to the yanks in the hope they run out of ammo before getting over here.

The frenzy started the day he won. Been campaigning since, everything he does is about insulting and lying about everyone. All to get re-elected .

Could be worse the m7 roadworks took 4 years and most nights closed all but one lane and dropped speed to 40. No work going on, but the guy putting up cones then later removing them. Lots of fines

Buggered if I know. But I am pretty sure.....I am abnormally normal. No I mean normally abnormal.

No you can trust they are lying

As per the usual method. Happy to make war on any self created pretext. But a coward at heart

It always pisses me off when they call him " leader of free world ". Such BS. Leader of the radical right wing theftofcracy maybe.

Even Switowski admitted on radio today that even new nuclear mini plants are 15 years to build and commission. And won't return a dollar for at least 10 more. Also admitted renewables can do base load with storage cheaper..and that's today not in 25 years. Wake up peeps, Truth is not what you wish

Sorry fellas, The all time classic is a bloke here in Sydney on a motorbike. On the back of his rack is a sticker which is attached to a wooden board sticking up vertically...... " Baby on board" Directly above is a baby doll occy strapped to the board. Oh how I laughed, needed new undies. And the looks of evil from all the mums in the toorak tractors. ...priceless.

I will say it again so the slow witted can understand...... Please go to nearest high point and jump off, whilst shouting gravity is bulldust. Then come back and tell us how right you were.

Meanwhile back at the nut farm...... US wants us to blockade / protect oil shipments from Iran "aggression". And to place med range missiles in NT. Missiles banned by treaty.

Don't forget their protected species mates in the animal production game. Special laws to stop anyone filming cruelty on farm. '$ 200,000 fine for showing animal cruelty. Instead of stopping the cruelty, the want to jail the whistleblower. Welcome to the LNP fascist state.

Beware what you wish for. Making the compact we have as a society to provide social security dependant on how the recipient lives or appears or where they live is dangerous. Even more so when we target measures on the basis of race. That is a form of social Darwinism and only leads down a very dark path.
