I thought the general consensus was that Rudd is quite intelligent? His faults surely lie elsewhere.

Alright Sports-fans,

Gareth Morgan makes cricket history with a remarkable bowling feat to win the game over the weekend on the Gold Coast.

Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese has set free 141 illegal immigrants from detention after a High Court Ruling.

These include foreign child-molesters, murderers, rapists and other criminals who made their way illegally to Australia claiming they will suffer greatly in their home country. Now their home country don't want them back. One from Malaysia who killed a pregnant woman will face the Death Penalty for his crimes if convicted.

After the Government released them, the more dangerous ones released, 138 out of the 141, will require electronic monitoring.

When Albanese is involved in either the Alice Springs riots, The Voice, The Criminal Immigrant Issue, what can you say?

2023 has not been Albanese's year.

And as much as the high court ruling is embarrassing (and politically harmful), it’s not a Labor specific issue as the same ruling could have been made under the Coalition to the same effect.

And as much as the high court ruling is embarrassing (and politically harmful), it’s not a Labor specific issue as the same ruling could have been made under the Coalition to the same effect.

Labor has been big on releasing detained refugees whilst Dutton has been staunchly anti-immigration because of this exact risk. Dutton knows from experience when an Islamic state falls to pieces, the first ones out are the exact people you don't want. So Palestine would send it's Hamas members and families out first. It's happening with Syrian families stuck in our immigration system due to strong links to ISIS.

Although your point is correct, releasing paedophiles, rapists and murderers into the broader community is precisely what Dutton has been fighting hard against. Dutton has copped a lot of bad press about not wanting the criminal elements within the immigration pool.

"They're not bringing their best" is not always a popular catch phrase in politics.

If the Liberals were in power, then these detainees would have been sent home under "bad character" legislation.

One of the most respected senior political leaders in Australia, Barnaby Joyce, brought up the released paedophile, rapists and murderers wandering the streets under Albanese's watch.

Albanese will need to get these felons off the street if he wants to stay in power.

A recent High Court ruling that held sexual criminals in detention including paedophiles, rapists and other sexual deviant immigrants found they should released into society rather than sent back to their home country.

Most Australians would prefer if Afghani Aliyawar Yawari, a sexual predator with a history of attacking elderly women, was detained in line with his crimes, but the High Court saw things differently.

Shortly after his release, on Saturday 2 December 2023, Aliyawar Yawari was arrested and charged with indecent assault of a woman at a motel in Adelaide on Saturday.

77 year old woman fined $3300 for bringing a chicken sandwich from New Zealand
Quote
A grandmother was fined more than $3000 for a chicken sandwich she forgot was in her backpack when she arrived in Australia to visit family.

Canterbury woman June Armstrong arrived at Christchurch Airport on May 2 about 4am for an early-morning flight to Brisbane to spend three months house-sitting and visiting family.

The 77-year-old was supposed to fly with her husband a few days earlier but changed her flight after she made her first bowls final.

When she got to the airport, she bought a muffin and a gluten-free chicken and lettuce sandwich, which was sealed.

“I sat down and ate some of my muffin and I really didn’t feel like it so I threw the rest away, but I put the sandwich in my small backpack,” she told the Herald.

“I just clearly forgot. I am very forgetful, but not forgetful enough to be diagnosed with dementia.”

Armstrong, who initially intended to eat the sandwich on the plane, fell asleep once onboard. She then filled out a declaration form and said she had some prescription medication.

Once in Australia, she went through border patrol, where her suitcase and backpack were checked.

As the official went through her backpack, he found the chicken sandwich.

“I said, ‘Oh, I forgot about that, I’m sorry. Could you throw it away for me?’. He just kept going through my bag.”

On Albanese’s IG post wishing Australian Jews a happy Chanukkah, the comments are full of ‘Free Palestine’ and horrific anti ‘Zionist’ remarks, my ‘favourite’ of which was ‘how dare you celebrate with the Jews.’ The Palestinian nationalist movement here lives in a total bubble, and  doesn’t seem to realise the longer they keep acting like this the more people they drive into the arms of right wing political parties who will be substantially more pro Israeli than the current government, as happened in The Netherlands.

Hercules, a Sydney Funnel-Web spider, has set new size record for the species.

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-01-04/lethal-sydney-funnel-web-spider-hercules-sets-record-for-largest/103286268

With fangs that could pierce a human fingernail, the largest male specimen of the world's most venomous arachnid — discovered by chance — has found a new home at the Australian Reptile Park, where it will help save lives.


Hercules surpassed the park's previous record-holder from 2018, named Colossus.(AP: Caitlin Vine/Australian Reptile Park)

Safely captured spiders handed in by the public undergo "milking" to extract venom, essential for producing life-saving antivenom.

Australia Day was a day people used to get together and celebrate the country. My suburb does not celebrate it anymore.

Which is good in one way, because I get a public holiday and the pool will be open.

The Australian Open Tennis does not recognise Australia Day, nor does the Cricket Test in Brisbane against the West Indies today.

The only rallies in Australia today will be Palestinians and Aboriginals sharing a protest or two:

I'm sorry to hear your national holiday has been cancelled in your suburb. Happy imaginary-Australia-Day-but-really-just-a-public-holiday to you then.

Australia's greatest ever politician, Nationals MP Barnaby Joyce, has been found passed out lying on a footpath in Canberra.

Hours after footage emerged of Barnaby Joyce lying on a Canberra footpath late at night, a chalk outline was mockingly drawn where he had been lying.(Reddit)

Meanwhile, in Beagle Bay, aboriginal community. Literally the hottest, most humid place on the planet yesterday.

It is so hot, these guys are lucky to be alive.

The men were given water by locals in Beagle Bay before the arrival of border force officials.(ABC News: Erin Parke)

We need to do something about our illegal immigrants arrivals.

A total of 39 arrived yesterday from Bangladesh. This is getting out of hand.

I've been watching (or at least skimming through) the recent "Nemesis" series (a documentary on the 2013-2022 Coalition government). Morrison comes off so badly that's I'm actually mildly impressed.

It's a very good companion to The Killing Season, just with a far more obvious villain. Meanwhile Tony refuses to interview and somehow comes out looking quite well, as always the rare politician who looks better the less he opens his mouth.
