Geebers. Long time since I heard the yellow peril line.
We pay billions to have seppo bases here. It is the bases that make us a target!
Meanwhile war criminal ljh shares responsibility for Iraq and what will be decades long war.
Why would China invade what they own? Besides when did they last invade a country?

Mick Sawyer and I had this same discussion many many times (espesh during Gulf War 2), and my view has never changed. I don't believe any Aus PM would ever tell the US President to get farked if he/she asked for help. It's a worthy humanitarian and moral stance you and Mick take, just highly impractical and non-sensical. You just don't spit in the face of your loyal, defending and highly motivated big brother.

So impractical to avoid being a criminal nation that collaborated in the murder of millions and instigation of permanent war in the m.e?
To avoid attack we need to boot the seppos out.

Out of convenience. His family's from Canberra and he was a junior headkicker in the NSW/ACT pinkos. They used to call him basher, though without his mates around he was frequently the bashee.

Re Conroy - an "insider" is reporting that he spat the dummy after being effectively demoted in the recent shadow cabinet reshuffle and after a couple of other internal losses (preferred candidates for some seats not getting pre-selected) saw the writing on the wall and waited for Shorten to be out of the country before quitting.

Hehehe, that might put an end to Shortarse's mantra that Turncoat can't keep his own party under control. Plibersek was left gasping like an out of water gold fish when hit with the question about Conjob's departure at a presser this arvo. She had no clue. PMSL.
Conroy - a qunt to the very end.

On reflection I feel I may have misjudged Conroy. He's slightly less quntish than Christensen.

Watched the dreary ljh homilies to pig iron bob. Fantastic revisionism - no mention of RGMs early support for Hitler or sale of pig iron to Japan. The ABC is farked like Mudge on a busy wall night. I see Bolt has a gig on the ABC....well there you go in mod Oz.
Meanwhile MM lectures Euro righties on the need to stop the flow of humans - caused by gwb, ljh and Blair. Capital, humans,climate change, disease and belief in sky demons are globalised. White trailer trash cultures continue to bark and cough at the heels of history.

PMSL @ Krudd
"Former prime minister Kevin Rudd has hit out at Malcolm Turnbull's 'concocted excuse' for why he wasn't given Australia's backing for a top United Nations job.
Speaking exclusively to Sky News, Mr Rudd, who is in New York at the same time as the prime minister, said Mr Turnbull lost the courage of his convictions to nominate him for UN secretary-general after providing him with multiple assurances."
-----------------------------------------
I am delighting in the fact that he has a lump the size of his wife's head stuck in his throat as he continues to bleat about the Aus Govt not supporting his nomination for UN Head. What a thoroughly unlikable qunt he is.

krudd would have been a disaster as Sec-Gen....truffles did the right thing and honoured the MM's public promise to support the Sheep's Helen Clark.
however the filthy krudd can still get in the field without an Oz nom....he and therese have been spending big in NYC and elsewhere....a joint seppo, chinese and putin-esca nom could see him enter the field as a late candidate..
personally I hope Merkel throws her hat into the ring

I've never understood the pursuit of more power or more wealth for the hell of it.
He and Therese could buy an island and just retire, He probably has more influence and certainly more the capacity to do something with that foundation he runs around representing.

Krudd was on Nein Nooz tonight blustering about Turncoat. Jeez he's been in a good paddock. A Fat Cat on steroids.

Fed Defence Minister's Adelaide gaff
"Defence Minister Marise Payne has poked fun at Adelaide, describing Western Sydney as “infinitely more interesting” than the South Australian capital.
Senator Payne appeared alongside Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull and Liberal MP Angus Taylor in Sydney today to launch the second Western Sydney Infrastructure Plan report card.
“[There will be] a million people moving into western Sydney in the next 20 years, so that’s equivalent to Adelaide,” Mr Turnbull said.
The NSW Senator, whose office is in Parramatta, used the opportunity to sing the praises of her local region.
“And infinitely more interesting,” Senator Payne quipped.
She apologised via Twitter later...
"I'm passionate about my home city (Sydney), as you'd expect. No offence intended, some of my best friends are from Adelaide" "
----------------------------------------
It's sad when pollies try to be funny and completely fark it up.
Personally, I like Addledville.

Max Gillies also liked Adelaide, famously endorsing it as a fine place to have lunch.
