EXCLUSIVE: What’s wrong with this Picture – George Christensen’s Wedding Shock Disgrace!
A LOT OF PEOPLE have been ridiculing this photo of George Christensen’s wedding on social media, which seems a bit uncharitable if you ask me, with one individual who shall remain nameless (yes it was you @killmebilly ) suggesting it’s like one of those “how many things can you find wrong with this picture?” cartoons.
Now I certainly wouldn’t want to encourage that sort of thing (heaven forbid), but it did get me thinking – what can you see that others might overlook…??
Christian Porter claims Victory after Court orders him to pay $430,000 in legal fees.
FORMER ATTORNEY GENERAL and one time PM aspirant Christian Porter has chalked up yet another successful court room victory with the Federal Court decreeing that the alleged rapist and his defamation lawyer must pay more than $430,000 to cover the legal costs of a friend of the woman who accused him of rape in the 1980s.
In what can only be seen as yet another embarrassing backdown for the ABC, this new ruling brings Mr Porter’s legal costs to over one million dollars.
Earlier this year, Christian Porter sued the ABC for defamation over the allegations.
The ABC agreed to settle the case out of court following a request from Mr Porter’s lawyers and handed over a token $100K towards his legal costs however the ABC stands by its original report outlining the damaging rape allegations and has not issued an apology.
These new costs are on top of his estimated $500,000 plus in legal fees for the now discontinued defamation case.
Speaking to The Gutter Trash, Mr Porter said:
“This yet another humiliating backdown for the ABC and my accusers in a long conga line of embarrassing blunders.”
“You wait and see, ultimately I will be completely vindicated and I won’t be satisfied until my legal costs are well over $10 million. Then we’ll see who has the last laugh….!”
Emulating former US President Donald Trump, Mr Porter added:
“You’re gonna see so much winning you’re gonna be sick of all the winning…!!”
The ABC was unavailable for comment.
Scott Morrison: “I’m suffering too.”
Look I’m not saying that Scott Morrison is out of touch with the plight of ordinary Australians who are struggling to buy a pack of sausages to feed the family or heaven forbid a Rapid Antigen test of which Simon Birmingham (who coincidentally is trying to butch up his mousey appearance by growing some facial hair) says there’s a plentiful supply even though no one on dog’s green earth can seem to find one,
NO! That would be far too indulgent.
Instead, our self-sacrificing Prime Minister (in title only by all accounts) insists that he too is suffering from the ill-effects of Covid by having to lend himself to the arduous tasks and responsibilities associated with the high office he holds.
Yesterday, fronting the media to burble a fresh bout of bullshit our beleaguered leader became clearly testy with reporters venting that he was unable to spend his “anniversary” with “Jen” because “he had to work,” (even though it wasn’t actually their wedding anniversary).
After a rambling press conference that failed to address the unfolding Novak Djokovic visa debacle that’s currently exposing the Federal Government as a shambolic shit show of incompetence on the International stage, the PM turned as he was walking away from the podium to say:
‘One last thing, indulge me this. Happy anniversary Jenny, I hope I get to see you soon’.
Aw, poor Scott and Jen couldn’t together because he’s suffering too.
What a crock of shit.
It’s yet another cynical carefully-orchestrated move designed to solicit sympathy from a psychopath who has no qualms about locking kids indefinitely in detention, sending people back to work without adequate protection from Covid and insisting that people can go out and buy RA tests when none are actually available!
Heck we can’t even buy food anymore!
He can go fuck himself.
GHISLAINE “JIZZ” MAXWELL FACES LIFE BEHIND BARS AFTER GUILTY VERDICT!
British socialite Ghislaine “Jizz” Maxwell has been found guilty of sex trafficking.
In what was described as the “trial of the century”, the jury heard how Maxwell lured girls as young as 14 for billionaire Jeffrey Epstein to sexually abuse and even joined in the abuse herself.
After six days of deliberation, a jury of six men and six women found the British socialite guilty on five of six counts.
- Count one – GUILTY: Conspiracy to entice minors to travel to engage in illegal sex acts
- Count two – NOT GUILTY: Enticement of a minor to travel to engage in illegal sex acts
- Count three – GUILTY: Conspiracy to transport minors with intent to engage in criminal sexual activity
- Count four – GUILTY: Transportation of a minor with intent to engage in criminal sexual activity
- Counts five – GUILTY: Conspiracy to commit sex trafficking of minors
- Count six – GUILTY:Sex trafficking of minors
Maximum sentences for each charge
- Count one – maximum sentence of five years
- Count two – (not guilty) maximum sentence of five years
- Count three – maximum sentence of five years
- Count four – maximum sentence of 10 years
- Counts five – maximum sentence of five years
- Count six – maximum sentence of 40 years
She now faces a sentence of up to 65 years in prison.
VERDICT SPELLS BAD NEWS FOR PRINCE ANDREW
A legal source connected with Maxwell’s case told The Gutter Trash a guilty verdict in the case could spell trouble for the beleaguered royal.
“This could be bad news for Prince Andrew and other high-profile men who hung out with Ghislaine and Jeffrey Epstein,” the source said.
“It is possible she will begin to cooperate and tell what she knows in an attempt to lessen her jail term.
“We know that prosecutors are looking at other co-conspirators in connection with Jeffrey Epstein’s child sex ring.
“Ghislaine undoubtedly possesses information which could assist prosecutors in other cases. If she decides to co-operate, her testimony could be devastating.
“She was Epstein’s right-hand woman for years, imagine what she knows?”
The religious freedom bill is just a license to hate.
The religious discrimination bill has nothing to do with protecting so-called ‘religious freedoms.’
It’s about allowing god-botherers free rein to hate on people they just don’t like.
And by the way, we’ll collect 10% of your income along the way so that you too enjoy the sheer sanctimonious self-serving pleasure of loudly hating on others too. Gay people, trans, foreigners, women.
Few minority groups are beyond persecution.
Sadly however, many in these vulnerable groups are statistically far higher to self harm and suicide than their less marginalised peers.
But let’s not allow the consequences of the god-botherers’ actions to meddle with their consciences.
After all, that’s their job.
Morgan Poll: Scott Morrison heading for election MASSACRE!
THE MORRISON GOVERNMENT is heading for a devastating election defeat with a new Morgan poll showing Labor has a ten point lead over the Government on the election-deciding two-party preferred basis.
The news comes on the heels of a cavalcade of corruption allegations plaguing senior members of the LNP and a mounting reputation as a compulsive liar Morrison can’t seem to shirk.
This is the largest two-party preferred lead held by the ALP since the 2019 Federal Election and exceeds the the ALP’s lead during the height of the ‘2020 Bushfires Crisis’ (ALP 55%, LNP 45%).
Voting analysis by State shows the ALP leading on a two party preferred basis in all six States – even Queensland.
In a concerning sign for the Government the ALP’s biggest leads are in Victoria and NSW.
The ALP’s improvement in Victoria comes after large protests against the Andrews Government on a range of issues including new legislation on ‘extraordinary’ powers for the Premier to declare a pandemic, the Andrews’ Government enforcement of vaccine mandates and tough restrictions on Victorians who are choosing to remain unvaccinated against COVID-19.
Fresh from a stint in the ‘red turbo room” Craig Thomson – the Labor MP whose sex-with-union-funds scandal nearly brought down a government has been ARRESTED and charged over a $2 million cash for visas scam!
The Australian Federal Police announced it had arrested a 57-year-old man at his home in Terrigal, on the NSW central coast.
Thomson is alleged to have arranged more than 130 fraudulent visa applications over four years, resulting in a $2 million windfall for the scandal-plagued former MP.
According to our EXCLUSIVE SOURCES, the visas relate to workers in ‘food service’ and regional farm industries.
Thomson has been charged with providing false documents and false or misleading information relating to non-citizens, and breaching restriction on charging fees for immigration assistance.
‘The alleged offences in this matter involved the exploitation of Federal Government programs designed to assist Australian businesses, and it is incumbent on the AFP to investigate and prosecute instances of large-scale fraud against Australian taxpayers,’ the AFP told The Gutter Trash.
News of the arrest follows an earlier development where NSW police secured a restraining order to protect the wife of Mr Thomson.
Zoe Arnold had previously defended Thomson when he was found GUILTY of using trade union funds to pay for prostitutes.
Ms Arnold was Mr Thomson’s third wife and by the time he was sentenced they had two daughters.
Who will think of the children….???!!!
Police granted an apprehended violence order on Ms Arnold’s behalf at Gosford Local Court.
The two-year AVO prevents 57-year-old Mr Thomson going anywhere Ms Arnold lives, works or to other places listed in the order.
Ms Arnold had provided a character reference for her husband to the court in 2014 in which she said mr Thomson was ‘devoted to his family, his daughters and me’.’
‘He has worked very hard every day as a private politician and as a private citizen, genuinely trying to make a positive impact on the local community,’ the statement read.
The former member for Dobell, Mr Thomson was convicted on 65 charges of using Health Services Union funds for personal benefit in March 2014.
It was alleged Mr Thomson spent the money on prostitutes and restaurants during his time as the Health Services Union’s national secretary between 2002 and 2007.
He was sentenced to 12 months imprisonment, with nine months of the sentence suspended over two years.
His conviction and sentence were later overturned on appeal, with Mr Thomson fined $25,00 and spared jail time after being found guilty on 13 counts of theft.
The fine related to the withdrawals of $5650 from ATMs using union credit cards, money he was not authorised to use on himself.

Barnaby and Scott: Battle of the Boofheads
Things are not rosy in the garden of the Coalition.
Leader of the Nationals and Deputy PM Barnaby Joyce is insisting he won’t be held to ransom over Scott Morrison’s desire to take some sort of commitment to the Glasgow summit on climate change in less than two weeks.
Barnaby, whose prose is largely indecipherable at the best of times, said through an interpreter that they, “the Nationals,” reserved the right to reject any proposed emissions plan without being given proper time to consider it.
It’s a fair point. They’ve only been in government for 8 years and these things don’t happen overnight, ‘little lone’ after a four-hour boozy lunch meeting over the weekend.
In one of his more lucid moments, Barnaby yelped “we’re not chained to a script. We have our own party and our own party room for a distinct purpose – that at times we have variance of views, we have divergent views and we have different views.”
What those views are remains a mystery, given that many of their constituents in the agricultural industry are desperate for action on climate change.
“If we ever believed that we were being sort of threatened or pushed or stood over, I know what the outcome of that position is – the people (ie ‘me’) just say, ‘no’,” he told The Gutter Trash.
Deputy Nationals leader David Littleproud held a similar view, saying it was “a very complex issue” and claimed it’d be “reckless” for the party to sign up to something without considering the detail.
Weekend Gab Fest!
Hello and good morning!
I was going to say the usual ‘here is an open thread post where you can talk about whatever you like’ but you do that anyway so I suppose I don’t need to bother.
Have a lovely weekend.
