Everyone is jumping up and down about the ISIS brides who want to return to Australia, and how they might be a threat to our security. Yes, there is a risk of that, but has anyone considered the other side? How many are there voluntarily? The Muslim religion has absolutely NO respect for women, and treat them as possessions of the males. The family (males) choose who they marry - girls as young as 9 or 10 get married off to the man chosen by the family. They do as they are told...or else! They must be covered from head to foot, including their face, lest they arouse the lust of males. They go where and when they are told. How many of them chose to travel to the Muslim countries with their "husbands", or were forced to? They have seen how bad things are over there and want better for their children, and want to bring them back to Australia. But everyone wants to throw up barricades to keep them out. Surely temporary visas would allow them to come back to be assessed, and thrown out if they don't conform to our requirements.

Looks like Canada has his number.

Correct.

Correct.

I understand that, but it is counter productive when increased demand is not the cause. When just trying to meet your daily requirements costs more, why push the prices even higher?

Just in time for Cinco De Mayo, it looks like Wall Street has coined a new insulting acronym for President Donald Trump. And like the infamous TACO, or Trump Always Chickens Out, it also has a connection to Mexican food. Bloomberg columnist Javier Blas claimed on X Wednesday that one business analyst is mocking the president’s handling of the Iran war by replacing TACO with NACHO. The acronym is more spicy than cheesy, as it bluntly stands for “Not A Chance Hormuz Opens,” a reference to Iran’s decision to restrict movement through the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow mouth of the Persian Gulf where 20% of all traded oil and natural gas normally passes.

I know noting of economics, so this will no doubt highlight my ignorance, but can someone explain how, when inflation is increased by outside forces, such as the middle east crisis and the increased cost of fuel, that punishing the victims by increasing the interest rates is going to solve the problem? Surely this will only push prices, thus inflation, higher.

The Daily Show program did make it to Youtube. Here is the link.

I was just watching Jon Stewart on the Daily Show, and it was some of the funniest stuff I've seen. Video clips from the White House Correspondents Dinner. I hope it comes on Youtube. More than half the seated people cleared from the room and a woman dressed to the nines going around the tables picking up bottles of wine. An old grey headed guy in glasses, probably in his 80's, sitting at the table eating his dinner like noting was happening. Four security people herding one gov't official off the podium. while a woman on the main floor was trying to climb the four steps to the podium in high heels, reaching out for help but being ignored.. In a later press conference an interviewer was questioning Trump about the shooter she said that in his manifesto, he had said they all had to die, liars, rapists...". Trump interrupted to say "I'm not a rapist." She said "I didn't say he was referring to you." Hilarious stuff.

I know they were late, but over 100 years late?

Apparently he was a Californian teacher who travelled to Washington. Suspected target and motive unknown at this time.

"Australians" have the strong link towards Anzac Day because of the historic and family links referred to in the previous posts. However, if we moved to, say, Canada, would we adopt their historic memorials? It's easy to understand the disassociation immigrants have without the family links to the past.

I was thinking exactly the same thing. If you didn't want him to touch you and cut your nails, why would you go there? If you go to a hairdresser, it is assumed you give consent to to the barber cutting your hair when you climb into the chair. I am reminded of a comedy sketch I saw on TV a few years ago where a guy and girl were sitting on a couch and he pulled out a tape recorder and turned it on to record asking for permission to kiss her, and recording her approval.

No. Under new arrangements announced by the Government, you will be up to $226 to $255 per year worse off. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-04-22/private-health-for-over-65s-to-cost-hundreds-more/106594174

There were a multitude of tribes, which formed the nation. Just as America had many tribes of what used to be referred to as Indians, and they are now regarded as First Nations People. Many words are now regarded as insulting and racist, such as negro (nigger), American Indian and aborigine (abo).

Critics say Donald Trump has become the first American president to unite people across the U.S., Canada, Europe, and the Middle East --- against him,” — a claim reflecting strong global reactions and political polarization.
