Sentencing George Pell

They’re going to sentence an innocent man?

6 years seems about right.

Piss weak comes to mind

How long is the whistleblower at the ATO facing?

He is signing the sex offender register

Interesting addition to the resume

Mega George is Mega again

But by jailing a cardinal for these sordid crimes Australia has demonstrated once again that the rule of law runs in this country. Getting here hasn’t been easy but no other country stares down the Catholic church as we do now. This is a day to be proud of that record.

Shame he didn’t mention Gillard, without whom it is probable this day would never have come, but still.

The lolstrayan proves again it truly is, the fart of the nation

Piss weak on pell in boltsville. Head sentence six years. Non parole three years eight months. l guess da-Taxpayers don`t want to spend more than 4x 130k for the peds gulag time.

Watching the shit coming out of kiwiland today. Has everybody noticed the far superior performance of prime meddler jacinda ; compared to the typical race-hate that flows out of clowntown. (jooLiar was still a fcuking dud TC)

(So if….

Maybe?

The climate strike was inspired by students from the Parkland school in Florida, who walked out of classes in protest against the US gun laws that enabled the massacre on their campus.)

There’s not a lot rhat can be said right now, other than suggest everyone sign the petition to tell Fraser Anning to F**K OFF.

Really? How is that?

Do you think conservatives have somehow promoted mass murder of Muslims in a mosque in New Zealand?

Do you think conservatives have somehow promoted mass murder of Muslims in a mosque in New Zealand?

You decide.

I mean… “the entire conservative side of politics”

Gillard – “another boat, another policy failure”
Rudd – “we’ll turn the boats around”
Shorten – “we’re in lock step with the government”

Also i think it is pathetic that you said “the entire conservative side of politics”

You’re usually provocative but not pathetic

Speaking of racism…………………………

“Our young children will flee and who are they being replaced with? They are being replaced by young people from typically Asia with PhDs,There’s a transformation happening in Sydney now where our kids are moving out and foreigners are moving in and taking their jobs.And I don’t want to sound xenophobic, it’s not a xenophobic thing, it’s an economic question.”

– Mr Daley can be heard saying in a video.

.”……. Luke Foley, was forced to apologise for using the term “white flight” during an interview with The Daily Telegraph in which he claimed “many Anglo families” had fled certain Sydney suburbs.I’m particularly concerned about suburbs around Fairfield because they’re carrying just a huge burden when it comes to the refugee intake from Syria and Iraq,”

-Mr Foley told the newspaper in May last year.

Or possibly wilfully ignorant

What is willfully ignorant is your interpretation of what has been said.

Yes wally, nsw Labor pollies are particularly thick headed.

Do you disagree with his analysis though. I am not from Sydney, but I have read many stories of people being forced out, and rich people from China etal moving in.

What makes me amazed is this is pushed by the conservative side, who are also the ones screaming ‘immigration’

I have nothing wrong with immigration, but we must look after our own at the same time. It is obvious we are not

“”……..but I have read many stories of people being forced out, and rich people from China etal moving in.”

I dont agree. Most of the younger Chinese are preferring to live in apartments either inner city or within 10km city ring but still in apartments

The older ones( for whom it is legal to buy older houses) with children buy based on where the best schools are.

The main enclaves for the Asians are Haymarket/Ultimo (which is city centre) or Zetland and Wolli Creek a bit further out. The families go to Chatswood or Hurstville.

Palm Beach is barely even in Sydney

He really might have hurt his vote because Hurstville and the Ryde areas are very close at this stage 4 days out from the election.

Then again Gladys cant sell her record. She should be miles ahead based on economic performance but with so much infrastructure being built and causing disruption people only see the short term pain not the gains

I dont believe hers is a bad government. They just cant sell retail politics

and, to be fair yomm, if your only complaint is the use of “entire”, then I’ll assume you’ll accept “the conservative side” as a suitable replacement?

I mean, if their leadership group, including successive prime ministers, have blatantly pushed this racist rhetoric, it would have to mean that that side of politics accepts it as a political tool

Right wing/reactionary isn’t the same as a conservative who holds traditional values

Fraser Anning gave an excuse to a mass murderer.

If you blame all conservatives on the same basis, that’s not semantics, that’s just you bullshitting

What!!

* People object to him giving an excuse for mass murderer
* I suggest we could all sign the petition , which I had considered reasonable, non contentious – something we could agree on
* You said you wouldn’t unless it the entire conservative side of politics that has pushed the same cart

You put all conservatives in the same category as a fuckwit who excused as mass murderer

They “ just cant sell retail politics ” @Nah. l reckon you were correct with > “ Gladys cant sell her record ” @incumbents really only have two choices, sell their record ; or `hide` from their record. Take a look at the Labor dude. Dull as dish water. He makes blib look like tom cruise.

!

but “ with so much infrastructure being built and causing disruption (to)people ” @true, but gladys is just the teabag stuck holding their own hot potatoe. City planning and major infrastructure cannot be done by looking at accounting papers and granting corporate whims. Once you scare the other team off from doing anything, you then are stuck trying to play catchup and antagonizing a much larger chunk of the city/ region/ state.

“Instead: a pivot to an immigration cut.”

That guy is a fucking idiot. A review of immigration has been on the agenda for ages and that fucking creep knows it.

ALP leaders don’t say anything racist… unless they’re in campaign mode.

Luke Foley – white flight
Michael Daley – Asians are taking our jobs and houses!

But let’s make sure we focus only on the entire conservative side of politics

Luke Foley – white flight
Michael Daley – Asians are taking our jobs and houses!

The only thing is, these are based on facts

Unlike morrison, who only recently was claiming refugees were kicking people out of hospital beds.

Whilst the language of “white flight” is wrong, at least the central issue is, Australian citizens jobs first.

You agee with Foley and Daley? I think their comments should be regarded as hate speech.

And there are comments about ethnic representation in crime stats that are also factual, but dwelling on them isn’t really addressing the problem.

I think you’re very selective about the facts you consider suitable for discussion.

You agee with Foley and Daley?

No, But I agree that 457(?) visas need to be either abolished, or changed dramatically

but comments about the over representation of some ethnic groups in crime statistics are unacceptable?

Because they are not factually reported. Cherry picking comes to mind.

There is an over-representation in the overall statistics

But consider, statistically, the ethnic group in question is over-represented in the groups of younger and poorer.

These groups are themselves over represented in the crime statistics

The #AfricanGangs statistics then becomes lower than these groups, which means, they are actually UNDER represented.

We are being lied to, using ‘statistics’

I see so using racially based language, talking about “white flight” and Chinese/Asians are taking our jobs and homes is excusable because it is clearly factual and backed up by statistics.

Go those stats handy?

Hate to tell you dummies but so-called white flight is mostly bullshit, what is wrongly referred to as white flight in Aust is economic flight thru a period of 15 to 25 years.

in ” coal power projects in 65 countries participating in the Belt and Road Initiative, it discovered that between 2001 and 2016 China had invested in 240 coal power plants along the BRI, with a total generating capacity of 251 GW. Most were not the advanced installations that China was building at home.”

The ” existing Jobactive program has been criticised for the requirement job seekers apply for 20 jobs a month; meaning many apply for jobs that are not relevant to them, simply to meet the quota.”

@this sounds like the punitive crap some of my neighbors and friends have been bitching about for fcuking years. Along with wasting their time and treasury cash funneling them into ponzi trainy trainy scams run by profit churners. With no fcuking job/s existing at the end of it.

Yomm continues to make shit up

Temporary visas are the problem not immigration and certainly not any particular ethnic groups

With ” pre-polling expected to top 30 per cent at this year’s election, Mr Daley’s stumble may be too late to give the Coalition the boost it would like among early voters. He now has just two days to get back on message and convince the remaining undecided voters to back Labor, so expect him to play the stadium issue to the hilt until NSW votes. It remains to be seen if stadiums will prove to be the Premier’s Achilles’ heel as she tries to sell the Government’s infrastructure success without cutting a single red ribbon.”

@this election is full of dishwater duds and that is not the fault of the legacy outlets. However, after their very own war on waste, my timid abc has peddled the typical, usual poli-waffle and not got stuck into either mook dooly or gladys over `waste` or/and `recycling` to anywhere near the level it should be. Fcuk the stadium. ls jonestown going to continue to truck recyclables and trash to ipswich to be dumped and smolder away on the defunct coal quarry with occasional flammable outbursts?

You asked about price/specs about battery on the last couple of posts teebz, found that in my email alerts.

Where did i excuse it yomm?

And the abc charts bring a bit more perspective don’t they? Imagine if they had also factored in economic situation too?

Re “white flight” and “asians are taking our jobs” etc

You said – “The only thing is, these are based on facts”

That sounds like making an excuse for a racial/racist comment

You would have made a meal out of “white flight” and “asians are taking our jobs and houses ” … if Abbott or Dutton said it.

You downplay the racist tone by the successive ALP leaders

I don’t see a single reason to criticise New Zealand’s response to the tragedy. It has been entirely dignified and inclusive.

Yeah, well wrong @concern as far as l`m concerned teebz. Kiwiland hasn`t promoted a single aspect of hate; they accidentally imported out tewwawist. You `should` be way more worried about the turk fcukwit using the christchurch footage in his clowntown style re-election effort. (anzac-day)

What? You can`t enjoy the simpson crowd predicting multiple spook/govt failure? l know l can. (-:

Lol yomm, if you think talking about white flight, once, months ago, never repeated, whilst opposition infrastructure(?) Minister in the context of job prospects for constituents to a small audience is comparative to the constant front page dog whistles we see from the conservative side, go for it

Isn’t it annoying that the US throws its weight around in Venezuela?

AGL’s use of ‘huge’ market clout costs consumers $3b a year: report

Remember how AGL was the darling of the left because they wanted to close a coal fired power station even though the government sought to purchase it and generate base load power…

Well, what a surprise to learn that they gouge consumers and are just driven by price manipulation and profit!!

The green credentials of AGL are in tatters
