??? oh mouth moving...

that just depends who's pulling his strings, & which script he has to memorise

democracy just a failed word these days. because no politicians speak without a fork on the tongue. just can't speak straight they can't.... even shorten sounds like he's reading from a sermon sheet. sounds unnatural & without any flow. too careful & concocted.

how does one trust any of these !!!

yep, without delving into the church & stuff, we have all gotten too far ahead of ourselves Re competing, & by being just a bit too superficial.

competing has taken over from community, self over team.

This has been brought on by our 'pollies' driving change thru schools back in the 70's... making "success" more important than developing great young people. warm hearted loving kids who aren't afraid of expressing their feelings, communicating Honestly.

IMO politics has suffered the very same fate... that winning is everything ,"the only thing"

And just making good government to represent the peoples wishes is non-existent, because those pushing for parliament are sure they know better than the people themselves. which IMO is beside the point.

just applying the peoples wishes is the most important thing. = Democracy

No he will disappear again because he knows that I as his son knows he has returned and knows exactly what he has done. Can't hide forever Robbie. Karma is coming to get you !!

C'mon Monk give him the good old fashioned Shirt Front!

The Ox and Marko were analysing this potential biffo last week. Looks like a miss match. Tony has a good left hook but Putin is a judo black belt, former KGB colonel and spy, firearms expert and swordsman. A shirtfront while he is not looking makes sense.

tony trained to box as a kid, big deal. street fighting is totally different without a ring around you & a queens bury rule book & a referee.

I've watched 2 highly self fancied blackbelts go after one another in a carpark between the cars across the road from 'chasers' many many moons ago.... they were both hopeless

I would back in the street fighter, or un-armed combat expert every second of every day of a year... & physical strength.

It is 30 years late but I think we might be just about there with Goerge Brandis and his latest data retention laws. I am talking about the Orwellian vision of 1984 of course. Why do I feel like Winston Smith and that the Ministry of Truth ( News Corp) exists, and Big Brother is coming. There is already the perpetual wars between ourselves as part of Oceania against the disputed lands south of Eurasia (Iraq). I think we know who the inner party are and who are the proles, who need to be distracted with gambling, casual sex and sport to keep the social order intact.

Which piece of legislation are we in need of to make the conversion complete I wonder?

Apparently Tony did well today with the 20 top leaders in the world he was boasting about stopping the boats ( Indonesia not happy) dismantling the carbon tax ( US and China not happy) then he went on to lament his inability to charge the poor $7 to see a doctor ( most leaders dumbfounded) and that he was for building more roads (wtf). Thank heavens we have a leader who can so effortlessly strut the world stage.

his next carbon plan will be for us all to ride horses or bikes.... & no doubt will outlaw cremations as well.

The Los Angeles Times called it Australia's embarrassing "awkward pimply youth moment". Hard to disagree.

UK Tories slam Tony Abbott on climate policy

art-tony-620x349.jpg

Tony Abbott: described as "eccentric".

The attitude of Prime Minister Tony Abbott to the global challenges of climate change is "eccentric", "baffling" and "flat earther", according to a group of senior British Conservatives.

The group, including Prime Minister David Cameron's Minister for Energy and a former Thatcher Minister and chairman of the Conservative Party, says Mr Abbot's position on climate change represents a betrayal of the fundamental ideals of Conservatism and those of his political heroine, Margaret Thatcher.

In a series of wide-ranging, separate interviews on UK climate change policy with The Age, they warn that Australia is taking enormous risks investing in coal and will come under increasing market and political pressure to play its part in the global battle against climate change.

Their comments come almost 25 years to the day since former British prime minister Margaret Thatcher addressed the United Nations to place climate change on the global environmental agenda. "It is mankind and his activities which are changing the environment of our planet in damaging and dangerous ways," she said

Mr Abbott, as recently as June, insisted he should not be stereotyped as a conventional traditionalist, declaring he wanted to be a "reforming conservative" in the mould of Mrs Thatcher.

According to Lord Deben, chairman of the independent Climate Change Commission and a minister in both the Thatcher and Major governments, Australia will come under increasing market pressure to respond to the global shift toward renewable energy.

A former chairman of the British Conservative Party, Lord Deben said Mr Abbott has betrayed the fundamental tenets of conservatism itself.

"I have no doubt that people like David Cameron will be saying to Tony Abbott 'look conservatives are supposed to conserve, they are supposed to hand on to the next generation something better than they received themselves'."

Tim Yeo, chairman of the UK's parliamentary select committee on energy and climate change and a former environment minister under John Major, likened those who question the existence and the science of climate change as "the flat earthers of the 16th century".

"Some of us are very perplexed. I was last in Australia at the beginning of last year, before the election and had conversations with people on both sides of the political divide. I was amazed at some of the views.

"If I was Australian, I'd be concerned if my country's economic future and prosperity became dependent on continued coal export."

The United Kingdom led the world in 2008 by legislating for long-term, ambitious emissions reductions of 80 per cent by 2050 – and has already achieved a 25 per cent drop on 1990 levels. In June, David Cameron opened the world's largest offshore wind farm with 175 turbines in the Thames Estuary.

Almost 20 per cent of Britain's electricity is now produced by renewables, with eight per cent powered by wind – equivalent to about 6.5 million homes.

The UK's energy market reforms and the drive to transform the economy to a low carbon model are supported by all the major political parties.

Greg Barker, David Cameron's Minister for Energy and Climate Change until June this year said: "I think there is a lot of concern about Australia and yes, perhaps it is disproportionate versus its place in the global economy. But because of [our] close historical, emotional and family ties, people are concerned, slightly baffled by the approach that Australia is taking which looks, actually, slightly eccentric," he said.

Mr Abbott declined to comment.

Rally in Fed Square on Sunday for the ABC....If you care about the National Broadcaster and wish it to continue to Archive Australia's History..

Then come in and show your support

This Government we have now are just Liars and Abbott is a complete psychopath

His speeches at the G20 tell me that...

They must be removed.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
