I’m thinking 3 cases is about right.
Oh! That’s $7.50 a BOTTLE! 😯 Three cases! That’s a years supply for:

I’m surrounded by them right now.
I’m too afraid to ask them about coalition policy & back away slowly, so I’m going to have to keep sneering at them & using big words to stun them.
If you’re paying more than $2 a bottle, they’re robbing you blind!
“Have you tried any?”
Not yet. But at that price it’s too good to pass up.
It’s even within TB’s budget…!!
I’m surrounded by them right now.
I don’t know anyone who’ll admit to voting for them, they are the silent haters.
*just got my new galaxy note 3, what a step-up from my old galaxy s1!
So, a $25 wine, discounted to $7.50 is worth buying? I’ll wait for someone to scoff a bottle and provide a review!
Firstly as someone who has spent lots and lots of money in Canberra on an expense account buying over priced plonk for defense people who were more interested in the steak.. We live in Australia..even the cask wine and clean skins are are good (fact)… I would not say that for Red or spirits…
Headlines..well News is about as credible as Greg Hunt so if you are an Alien with a third testicle or gave birth to a giraffe from your bum..you are just as credible as Abbott and the (oh fuck we are in now, what do we do) Noalition..

Our supreme leader needs to get the message out.
Brazen display of power and influence. I am tired of people making jokes about it. We are a frivolous bunch of people who have been blessed to live in a country with a healthy democracy. We are allowing ourselves to be treated with arrogant disdain. We are allowing our democracy to be eroded by self-interest.
But Andrew, Pierce, Miranda and Janet are brilliant scientists, scholars, economists, lawyers, humanitarians, immigration experts, military tacticians, trade experts and artists..they are very important learned people. The purveyors of truth, free markets and free speech… They are tony’s suppositories of wisdom.
They are the foot soldiers of the LNP propaganda division.
It is an absolute disgrace.
But … but, Julia dined her favourite greenie and pinko journalists too.

Do you actually live in Australia, egg?
Yes and our people have been here longer than your people, but sadly no convicts.
From, sreb’s link — October 26, 2013 8:14 am
The machinery set up to allow the prime minister’s office to oversee media appearances by ministers was worrying enough. A few have resisted.
Isn’t this sort of “control” akin to the first Rudd’s first administration?
🙄 🙄 🙄 🙄
Gods Make Comeback
‘These accusations spread (as is usually the case) from the mere fact of the matter being investigated and several forms of the mischief came to light. A placard was put up, without any signature, accusing a large number of persons by name.
‘Those who denied they were, or had ever been, Christians, who repeated after me an invocation to the Gods, and offered adoration, with wine and frankincense, to your image, which I had ordered to be brought for that purpose, together with those of the Gods, and who finally cursed Christ–none of which acts, it is into performing–these I thought it proper to discharge.
‘Others who were named by that informer at first confessed themselves Christians, and then denied it; true, they had been of that persuasion but they had quitted it, some three years, others many years, and a few as much as twenty-five years ago. They all worshipped your statue and the images of the Gods, and cursed Christ.’
Pliny the Younger
Egg – I can’t remember that. I can remember JG NOT pandering to journalists. Part of her problem.
I find it disturbing that veteran journos like Barrie Cassidy and Paul Kelly talk about the info shutdown as a good political strategy.
I find it alarming that auditing has been privatized and handed over to the Business Council.
I am indignant about the secrecy over the treatment of asylum seekers.
But oh well the spring racing carnival is round the corner, then the Yuletide shopping spree and then the lazy hazy days of summer unless you are in a bushfire zone. Why worry.
Egg just say no to drugs 🙄
TB – agree. Rudd was another control freak. I do not like being controlled.
” I can remember JG NOT pandering to journalists.”
I can’t. Politicians always have contacts with journalists. It goes with the job.
‘Egg just say no to drugs’
Are you really a film producer?
Well Neil – from what I understand she did NOT have cozy dinners at the Lodge and feed certain people succulent tidbits.
She did NOT invite cheerleader columnists and editors to harbour side soirées.
That guest list says it all.
They are tony’s suppositories of wisdom.
😆
yep, and that is where they do their talking from, his arse that he sold to murdoch and the big polluters.
… did you see the one I posted here, KL? Look really good …
No TB, which one was that?
No need to be indignant or alarmed.
Auditing is a commercial business, nothing untoward happening there. The asylum seeker issue should be moved away from being a political circus and returned to bipartisanship.
“from what I understand she did NOT have cozy dinners at the Lodge and feed certain people succulent tidbits.”
Are you sure?? It is obviously what you want to believe however.
Perhaps Julia is as pure as snow. Could be possible I guess.
You know as well as I do that JG was not Snow White. Unlike you Neil I do not have partisan political views, an either/or perspective. The Liberals are far too radical for me. Too Stalinist in their materialism. I am on old-fashioned gal who values traditions and institutions which have served us well, one being a media which has a clear delineation between news and commentary.
And Egg, I do not believe the Business Council should have a central role in auditing when members have a vested interest.
I agree that party politics should be stripped from the asylum seeker issue. It is appalling that we do not know what is happening to those poor souls.
“Unlike you Neil I do not have partisan political views, an either/or perspective.”
Now that is funny. You should be a comedian.
I am glad you are slapping your thighs Neil.
There is a certain rigidity of thought given to the fundamentalist which precludes that person from arguing from an objective stance informed by principle and ethics.
According to the strictures placed upon fundamentalist thought patterns if something is not one thing then it must be the other. For example if I do not find TA and his band appealing then I must be a lefty ALP camp follower, your counterpart on the dark side. I can assure you Neil that is far from the case. Cue laughter from Neil.
Whatever
‘I am on old-fashioned gal who values traditions and institutions which have served us well’

‘I’m a conservative, I’m a traditionalist. I’m not persuaded that we need radical change here.’
Tony Abbott
No TB, which one was that?
Actually the one you bought, it was a pre-release blurb I got from Samsung just as you mentioned waiting for it … ships in the night … 😉
Di, re Kneel, and a few others around here lately there are none so blind who cannot see … I’m sure they don’t actually read what they write … and then accuse others of being partisan … one thing that is different here is that while soem of us have leaning away from the tories we do criticise the left … try getting a criticism of Tony Abbott & The Acolytes from the likes of, Kneel … their typing finger seizes up … 🙄 🙄
KL, passing ships in the night, makes more sense … 😉

Whatever
Yeah whatever you post is complete bollocks, still devoid of fact and prattling on about Julia I see
Good, I’ll be needing your professional advice in the years ahead… gratis.
By coincidence my youngest plans to get his diploma in Screen and Media at TAFE next year. Its a one year course, but we are uncertain about employment at the end.
” try getting a criticism of Tony Abbott & The Acolytes from the likes of, Kneel ”
Abbott has been in for about two months. Unlike you i am willing to give him some time.
What screenwriting software do you use?
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition …
http://www.news.com.au/national/tony-abbott-says-his-government-stopped-the-boats-in-50-days/story-fncynjr2-1226747309368
A month and a half and just exactly what did Abbott & The Acolytes DO*?
* that was any different to the ALP policy?
Did they buy back smugglers boats?
Did they actually turn back any boats?
Did they actually rescue any boats?
Are they just flying on the wings of Rudd’s last policy?
Will we ever know?
Will MOrrison ever actually say anything?
Will the ALP ever say anything?
Do we have a government?
Or just an Abbott running the diocese?
And where is Bishop Pell these days?
And why has Howard back on the spruiking circuit … has he run out of retirement benefits already … is he going to make a run at the top job again (number four!!!)?
Two gagged (or gagging) Shadow Ministries, a lazy/incompetent media and its like living in China — in 1950!
Back to the Future …
Its a one year course, but we are uncertain about employment at the end.
egg, can I assume that its a Cert III? And your “youngest” still at H/school?
Abbott has been in for about two months. Unlike you i am willing to give him some time.
That’s what I mean, Kneel, I was criticising Rudd before his first month!
What screenwriting software do you use?
MS Word …
Sorry to butt in, egg, (open forum an’ all) but I have a Cert in Cinematography … (I made business and training vids) … and (as an RTO* consultant) developed a Diploma in Stage and Screen Acting for a client … and a Diploma in Cinemagraphic Make-up for a Logie winner, client.
*Recognised Training Organisation
Well..
1stly… Screen and Media at Tafe is not really usefull for getting employment but it will teach you the basics I guess. I have 2 masters 1 from the College of fine arts and one from UTS but that means nothing when it comes to work. Its pretty much all about your show reel and contacts.
2ndly…Everything is outsourced now days, so you must make your own luck. Most of the good stuff is coming out of the ABC, bless em. Its a very very tough industry and my advice is to learn all about every aspect of film making as that is the new paradigm. I edit myself, write , direct, do the sound and compose which is hard work. Making films is expensive. You don’t need to go to Uni to make films but you will meet lots of like minded people and concentrate on your craft. As making films is all about storytelling , if you know fuck all about life your stories will be shit
3rdly… The way films are financed in Australia is very very broken, Screen Australia is fucked. The amount of money they spend on one shit feature you could make 10-15 great features by seeding great idea’s… Fuck giving any money to Channel 9 and Baz fucking Lurman http://youtu.be/zGx7Nv2l1Vk
For script writing I use Celtx, its free, industry standard and fantastic. I was using Final draft but switched over as that’s what they were using at COFA and I haven’t looked back since.
https://www.celtx.com/index.html
You can buy a decent camera for about 5 grand now (lenses are expensive) and subscribe to Adobe CC and you have everything you would ever need. The main advise I give people is work on as much stuff as possible for free as you never know wher it leads. My current film is one in which I am calling in favors from my bank, which is how most films under 300 grand are done.
I hope this is usefull…oh and do what my dad told me, get another avenue as an income stream to support yourself, I have a trade and a degree in electrical engineering.
Thanks for all that.
‘can I assume that its a Cert III? And your “youngest” still at H/school?’
Nah, he’s 30 already and has been in the industry for a decade, but now finds himself in a narrow field outside production. So he has enough experience to do the Diploma and wants to start up a very small business.
Egg – TA has shown time and time again that he is all things to all men and women.
Whatever it takes. He said so himself.
He is a weather vane. Also said by self.
We should only take him at his word when it is written down. Or something like that.
Climate change is crap. He has an expensive policy to deal with crap.
He knows himself better than people who interpret him for the nation.
Believe him.
He is no traditionalist. Just another pragmatist out to win.
At all costs.
Being all things to all men can’t be a bad thing, surely?
‘you will meet lots of like minded people and concentrate on your craft.’
That’s the big plus and as he’s a personable type, so all should go well. At this early stage I’m manifesting turning my warehouse into a film studio and becoming an executive producer.
egg,
I couldn’t argue with anything, Richard (Ricky) 😉 has said, seems not much has changed!
Funding is/has always been a pain!
… and egg, if he’s been in the industry for a decade I’d suggest seeking out a uni rather than TAFE and seek a mature entry* – online is GOOD! …
… and this is the killer from Ricky …
Its pretty much all about your show reel and contacts.
If you think about it, the same applies to most jobs!
Ricky, as for cameras … 5K? You can actually pick up a consumer camera to “practise with” these days for a 1/4 of the price … I defy you to pick the quality on TV (unless you are making a film for distribution)
Footnote: I have a ten yo g/son who is gung-ho about movie-making … I went looking for a Vid camera for him … I couldn’t believe this …
http://www.officeworks.com.au/retail/products/Technology/Cameras/Digital-Video-Cameras/WEDVC330RD
TEN remember – make the vid …buy another!
*I had a trade and no h/school for my degree place … but plenty work experience …
I have never been partial to that type myself.
You are a tease Egg.
egg, all the best to your youngest … ’tis a hard industry! But then which industry isn’t hard to break into!
Rick, good advice, mate!
‘if he’s been in the industry for a decade I’d suggest seeking out a uni rather than TAFE and seek a mature entry’
He has already spent time at uni, to no great advantage in the real world, that’s why this short course is preferable. He’s already a good editor and cameraman, so all he needs is to meet like minded individuals and allow camaraderie to blossom.
And I also agree with Ricky’s comment ‘Its pretty much all about your show reel and contacts.’
LOL Dianne.
“That’s what I mean, Kneel, I was criticising Rudd before his first month!”
Well i am not you thank goodness. I will give Abbott some time.
“Just another pragmatist out to win.
At all costs.”
That reminds me of Rudd and the ALP. The ALP in 2007 promised an NBN that would cost taxpayers $4.7B and be finished in 5 years.
I will give Abbott some time.
I know, Kneel … oh I know … 🙄 🙄
If he has been in the industry for 10 years and is a good shooter and editor, he is halfway there and would qualify for postgrad status as TB (who insists on calling me by my dead fathers name and not my christened name). He wont pick up much at Tafe that he does not already know. Art School is a wank fest I can tell you from personal experience but I have learnt some great stuff from some amazing mentors there in Storytelling, scrip writing and directing. I have an advantage of working as a music producer for 15 years so the skills (dealing with creative people) transfer well. It depends where you are but I would recommend UTS, SYdney film School or AFTRS in Sydney or any reputable Film school attached to a Uni..
Forget JMC and SAE they are bullshit. Screen Australia and many of these places offer short courses that shit all over Tafe. Online stuff is only for tutorials and resources, that is par for the course and a weekly thing (I subscribe to Adobe cloud and they have tutorials)
As far as cameras go, I was an early adopter of DSLR film making and was shooting on a Canon 5Dmk 2 DSLR on Thursday (with very expensive Ziess Glass). I have a Black Magic Cinema camera and I would check out the Blackmagic Pocket camera. Its a pro camera for 1000 dollars and comes with Davinci resolve grading software.
I agree all industries are hard and talent gets you only so far, the cream rises to the top through persistant hard work, dedication and resourcefulness. Like the record business where I had stuff out there winning, it doesn’t guarantee anything or you will ever work again as there are hundreds of people unemployed, pitching, undercutting and bullshiting.
They conservatives changed the tax laws in NZ and decimated the industry there in 1 fowl swoop, which cost them Spartacus. We in Australia are just hanging in there…just
Brandis as Ats minister and Turnbull don’t fill me with much hope i’m afraid, they have no 4K or convergence vision which is where things are headed, they are too busy scoring cheap shots being infadels and short sighted Luddites sucking Murdoch’s dick.
Thanks again, I’ll pass on the camera info to him.
He went to North Sydney TAFE and got a job at Grundy, then Channel 9 where he became a technician on the Morning Show. The industry is very unstable and he now finds himself working as a patching operator at the Hub, nice crowd, terrible hours.
In that case I recommend a good show reel and the Media Art and production stream at UTS..as a mature age student or short courses at Sydney film school, much better than Tafe. good luck with it.

Tah, all useful stuff, I’ll leave that for him to work through. For me its all about a script for a short film, probably to go in the comp.
A year ago I was mucking around with stop frame 3D, using one of those small wooden flexible dolls…. I got it to bounce a basketball and wander about. A lot of work for one minute, but good fun.
Stop frame HDR Timelapse.. 3 RAW shots per frame superimposed a stop apart 25 frames per second
Rewire (Latest Cut) from Ricky Pannowitz on Vimeo.
Latest Cut would be a good investment, straight through to the computer, anytime step by step.
At the time I wasn’t confident of the outcome, so I shot it with an ordinary camera, good lighting and a painted backdrop. Getting the model to bounce the ball was tricky, its amazing what you can do with a ping pong ball, a long match and some blu tac.
Good stuff, RiP , very impressed …
… love the Black Magic cameras too (had no idea you could buy for $1000 …
… did you like the $38 Officeworks job? If your ever desperate you know where to go … only 720p tho’ 😉
I still have my first movie camera and projector (both work) … working up courage to transfer over 100 hours of footage … cartridges and developing (and soundstriping sometimes) were pretty expensive for just 3 minutes of film in them olden days!
The Minister (sorry your relatively new here – my wife) bought the two as a package in 1976(!) … I’d put together a slide/sound cassette show for a Fraser Island camping trip and she was impressed! Kicked off my interest …
And lo and behold! Just revitalised my interest redently putting together a 2009 Fraser Island four day fishing trip (I don’t fish!) for my son and his mates … even the new Sony Movie Studio Platinum 12, I just upgraded to, beats anything I’ve ever used before and its cheap as chips …
The consumer products today are mindblowing quality … (to us who began with “bootlace” film …) … I’m a Sony/Carl Zeiss fan …
‘The consumer products today are mindblowing quality …’
Yes, its wonderful to be alive in the digital age and I’m determined to take full advantage.

What song did Emerson sing during his comment? Another Skyhooks?
‘Studies have shown being physically attractive puts women at risk of being indirectly victimised by other females. In addition, there is evidence females are intolerant of same sex peers who are perceived as too sexually available.
‘This could be because sex is a limited resource women use to negotiate with men and scarcity gives women an advantage.
‘Dr Vaillancourt said: ‘That is, females, not males, suppress the sexuality of other females and they do so by using informal sanctions such as ostracism and derogatory gossip.
‘In other words, females punish other females who seem to make sex too readily available using indirect aggression. There are some studies supporting this line of reasoning.’

”Tony Abbott’s use of a Washington Post interview to brand his Labor predecessors as ”wacko” and ”embarrassing” could set back his working relationship with the Obama adminstration, a leading US commentator says.
Really? Obama must be incredibly sensitive about the facts then, because Abbott may have gone easy on his predecessors with that description. Though the fact is that “wacko” and “embarrassing” could also apply to him.

“Chuckle Chuckle ”
The arrogant SA Labor government sold the substantial plantation forests here in the South East for the next hundred years rotation to enable the building of Adelaide oval & other things which they’re stroking metropolitan Adelaide for in that ridiculous article.
They’ve plundered every privatisable resource in the State…just like the Liberals before them. To the benefit of city dwellers & the utter detriment of those of us outside of the abscess.

Just had a peak at the Café. I see they are still in a state of disbelief grinding and gnashing their teeth or more likely dentures at the result of the federal exorcism on September 7.
And the ALP is still blaming disunity rather than policy for their defeat. Hilarious really. I very much doubt it will be One Term Tony. More Likely at least Two Term Tony from what the latest Newspolls are saying.
Seems like a lot of suspicions about a possible PM Abbott have now evaporated and additional voters are starting to like the conduct of the new government even given the expense scandals

No doubt thinking of Catching Up gave you that boner!
“And the ALP is still blaming disunity rather than policy for their defeat.”
Actually there is some truth in that. They still got 47% of the vote. A united Party most probably would have won the election.
What i find amazing is that a totally corrupt and immoral divided party can still get 47% of the 2PP.

Are they really that paranoid & fearful of the change in government? or are they just overemphasising the pantywetting.
Noting the hyperbolic thread topics here…it’s important to note the glaring difference…
Café Rohypnol takes itself VERY seriously
All we have is our opinions … HD … just not enough for some folk … they want … well … quotes from other people who are academically kwalifyd … 😯
BTW is that how you spell rohypnol? FMD! 🙄

have to say l agree with Kneel@1.25 and Splatters@1.29 on this one deathstar, teh-ALP imploded, not some massive win based on an idea by the tory`s
Pretty sure it is, TB.
it is largely a return to the howard regime
‘Are they really that paranoid & fearful of the change in government?’
I fear they are genuinely paranoid.
Wright says Kevin saved 15 seats, which would have been lost under jools.
Noice to see young Wally eating parippu and rice … a true comfort food. Welcome back.
“are they just overemphasising the pantywetting
I think that’s the incontinence, which is apparently quite common among vintage people.

l agree egg, l also heard (somewhere) kevin07 saved qld from the teabags too, but saving furniture is merely a small v, victory at best, and if teabag-lite wasn`t white-anting itself since 2009/2010 then they should`a done better.

Pretty sure it is, TB.

Everyone gets so cereal around here just lately? 😛
So Noddy is now gunna make a stand against the judiciary (altough the trial continues tomorrow) … his argument in a nutshell … “I said, nuffink, about no particle case, OK? Any way all the Queenslanders I know agree wif me, OK?”
What a fkn moron …
And it doesn’t end there …
In defence of Taylor at the kaf, he still allows some contrarians to interact, which is a dog send in that witless place. Tweed and newcomer Walmart have potential.
By comparison Deltoid bans all who don’t adopt the chatmaster’s line of thinking. Lambert’s troll banning has been ruthless, mistakenly cutting supporters along with foes so that only a bunch of old people are chatting politely.
No egg, they simply like to turn over their opponents, because over time it becomes too easy to identify all the partisan inconsistencies.
Once the contrarians start to point this out, they’ll be off loaded.
Seems we have had this conversation before ToM and I agree they keep them on as playthings, with cuppa telling someone to piss off because its a left wing blog.

13 Nutrition Lies That Made The World Sick And Fat
Apparently Apple fanbois are a bit backward when it comes to the iPod (doPi? … )
With thanks to The Minister who claims she made it up!
G/son and I were discussing the merits (not) of a free iPod that a satisfied client had given him … (g/son has his own IT programming business … he’s 22 and I keep waiting for the limousine to roll up!) )
A number of days ago we discussed the “warriors” of PNG and payback … unfortunately this is just a glimpse of what could be a beautiful country to live in … if only …

Curiosity takes a self portrait.
And it appears I may have been wrong when mooting Jools and Tim had separated, they are selling the house.
‘The house, which has been emptied of Ms Gillard’s things but filled with hired furnishings in the lead-up to the auction, was also the setting for a photograph taken in the mid-2000s which depicted Ms Gillard sitting at her kitchen table and subsequently sparked a public discussion about her empty fruitbowl.
‘The spotlessness of her kitchen led to much discussion about her then-status as single and child-free.
‘The green cupboards seen in that image are gone – the kitchen was remodelled in the 2008 renovation and now boasts an island bench and stainless steel appliances.’
SMH
And it appears I may have been wrong
I AM FKN SHOCKED< EGG! 😯
“And it appears I may have been wrong”

‘A BILL that would have allowed same-sex marriage in NSW has been defeated in the Upper House by one vote.
‘It followed an emotional debate in the upper house on Thursday.
NSW Labor MP Helen Westwood cried as she read out a “hate letter” she received on the issue.
“Dear Madam,” it read, “What the hell is wrong with you people?
“No straight-thinking Australian wants to hear about queers getting married. Marriage is not a game between poofters and lesbian sluts.
” … wake up woman to the call of the majority who would rather see all queers burnt at the stake not married.’
AAP / The Daily Terror
Dunlop’s straying mind.
A lot of good points and few howlers:
“His current tactic of starving the beast, of strictly controlling media access, of blocking government agencies from giving the media information, of only giving interviews to those he knows will conduct the interview from a kneeling position”
Obviously missed the Leigh Sales interview.
“D’uh. The Gillard/Rudd governments ran an efficient, tight economy.”
Huh? In what time frame does Tim see Australia generating a quarter of a trillion dollars of budget surpluses? A lot of money was pissed against the wall by Labor and a lot of damage to the economy was done by them.
“As Paul Krugman noted in a recent piece about the behaviour of international credit agencies, “… just as the austerity drive isn’t really about fiscal responsibility, the push for ‘structural reform’ isn’t really about growth; in both cases, it’s mainly about dismantling the welfare state.”
Maybe it is about avoiding the fate of the PIIGS? Bloated welfare states aren’t all they are cracked up to be. Ask the Greeks.
“Climate change denialists inside and outside the Abbott Government cannot be argued out of their position on the matter. If you want to address the issue, that’s your starting point.”
Certainly hysterical bullshit arguments like the wild predictions of Flannery et al won’t cut it. Blaming every weather event (like the recent bushfires or Typhoon Haiyan) on climate change just makes alarmists look stupid when they get fact-checked.
Why not try a logical argument – say explain exactly what effect a carbon tax will have on global temperature? The low credibility of alarmists stems from their politicised approach to science and their rejection of the notion that they should open their data and models up to scrutiny by critics. I was an alarmist until I started to think for myself.
‘Why not try a logical argument – say explain exactly what effect a carbon tax will have on global temperature?’
Our colleagues here should be able to answer that one.
It’s not often that I concur with Herr Bolt…

This is why I find myself an AGW agnostic. I have no problem assimilating scientific fact. The ideological/political trimmings are what fuck the credibility of both sides of the debate for me. They overplay their hands to get traction.
‘I have no problem assimilating scientific fact.’
Good, then step out to the back room and I’ll turn your world upside down.

A lot of money was pissed against the wall by Labor and a lot of damage to the economy was done by them.
Please explain your opinion … lot of damage to the economy
The GFC is NOT over … it will collapse again … hopefully on Wall St … disastrously as nations collapse as in 1939 … it took a decade in the last century … I hope the next generation is free of war … every generation in my lifetime has experienced it …
In 1930 (The Great Depression) governments tried (what seemed obvious) and retracted spending – it was massive failure … in 2008 governments attempted the opposite to generate work and spending (the free market relies on populations spending to survive) to stimulate the multiplier effect … Australia was lucky that we had funds to spend, that other nations didn’t and we STILL (its called emphasis not shouting – unless ALL your comment are caps) have the best economy in the world!
The problem with both these “theories” is that it is difficult to determine when to start and when to stop …
As for printing money (ie qualitative easing – now why would you use such fudge words?) … the Germans tried this in 1935 and inflation rose to the dizzying heights of 1000% … need to go to war … 😯
The point I’m making is that the current government may just get its chance to go down in history … pretty soon … and as history repeats … as world economies collapse again, they’ll fold in a crisis and offer the reins to the ALP … only this time we have Fuckwits™ running the ALP too … which means we are all FUCKED!
Apologies the the ALP Deputy of the Opposition and the Shadow Treasurer …

LOL!

“they’ll fold in a crisis and offer the reins to the ALP ”
Dear god, no!
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo …
‘Whoo! Cheeky, how much do you charge?’
Out the back intellectual intercourse is free at the moment.
‘I was an alarmist until I started to think for myself.’
The satirist is out of the office, so I’ll take that.
I was also an alarmist until the early 1990s and having a casual interest in weather I began reading outside my comfort zone. It was apparent that man made global warming is a hoax, with huge political implications.
The media has been relentless in pumping out propaganda, while the Klimatariat in all its exulted glory has aided and abetted the masquerade, with politicians the dupes.
Its all going to end very badly for the warmists, glad I’m on the right side of history.
‘HOUSEMATE wanted: must be clean, lacking in almost all personal boundaries, willing to fork out $170 a week and able to live with up to three others in a single room.

Dunny, l don`t see how you`re agreeing with bolt.
He merely copied this snippet,
‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘A WOMAN who killed five of her pets when she burned down her house because she wanted a new one has been jailed.
Over 10 years, Donna Fox set fire to three homes owned by the Department of Human Services, the last because she was sick of waiting for other accommodation.’ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘
from this link, (not his post)

lt`s probably fodder for his followers to foam over, but having 3-houses burnt down and no care/supervised-home for possibly mentally-ill looks poor on Govts-Fed-and-State.
‘A WOMAN who killed five of her pets when she burned down her house because she wanted a new one has been jailed.”
Did she want a new pet, or a new house…? 😯
She wanted a new cat.
Her old pussy wasn`t fluffy enough.
It was a scoop, but the PM applied the gag and the media buckled. The police, on the other hand, are not persuaded.
‘For those unsure of where things are at, the police interest remains high. The police are due to go back to court in a couple of weeks… Earlier this year, police seized hundreds of documents under the warrant, which specifically sought files held by Slater & Gordon relating to Wilson and Gillard, including her personnel files, invoices, travel records and documents from the firm’s partner meetings relating to Gillard and the AWU.’

” l don`t see how you`re agreeing with bolt.”
Hmmmm, how can I put this?
I too see a certain ‘entitlement’ mentality, which goes beyond ‘disadvantaged’.
I have little tolerance for the disingenuously unemployed these days.
I don’t do what I do to support humans who expect a free ride. Least of all those who aren’t satisfied with their particular flavour of free ride…and see arson as a form of negotiation.
For the love of dog… 🙄
I took a stroll past the cafe just now after you guys mentioned something about some ear piece conspiracy, where apparently Abbott gets his answers sent to him during interviews…
Un-fkn-believable! Those earpieces are commonplace in interviews! Stage performers use them all the time too – it’s so that they can hear the interviewer’s questions, as well as how their own voice sounds in the responses..
Honestly, if the cafe mob think this is genuinely some sort conspiracy where Abbott’s getting his answers spoon fed, they’ve truly lost whatever tenuous connection to reality they once held…
We all know that Catching Up’s fucked in the head, but seriously, Minglo thinking that there must be something in this is just fkn hilarious!
