Unbelievable News from Australia:

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-06-09/police-search-for-boy-missing-on-mount-disappointment/12334472

Boy was 2 days missing in the freezing mountains of Victoria. 2 nights stuck in bushland.

Found!

This is the most amazing survival story since......the last young boy or girl who went missing in the Wilderness. Cannot wait for the interview with Mum and Dad.

The Labor Party in Victoria just imploded live on National TV.

https://www.theage.com.au/national/victoria/f-k-the-premier-labor-s-secret-tapes-reveal-industrial-scale-stackathon-20200614-p552g2.html

Their main power broker was taped on video and audio with the most damning evidence of corruption seen in Australian political history.

Here is the left wing politician's description of his young staffers:

Behind their backs, Somyurek describes these young staffers as "patronising and annoying", and "real little f---ing slimy little f---ers, little passive-aggressive f---ing gay kids".

"We’ll have our gay kids just doing what they do: just being patronising and annoying."


Staggering to see what the 'left' in power think of the younger up and coming 'left' in Australian politics.

Here is the video of the story:

https://amp.nine.com.au/article/ae6e1022-c27e-404b-bd24-6525515d87f8

ABC.net.au still not touching the story 14 hours later. The ABC is a left-leaning website even though Government owned.

During the last Federsl Election, the ABC stopped displaying accurate updates on their site shortly after it was obvious the Liberals would win.

ABC have finally decided to report this story.

The response was swift:

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-06-15/victorian-labor-minister-adem-somyurek-sacked/12354870

Daniel Andrews has given a press conference regarding this alarming situation:

Press Announcement

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LXOyS5skkU

From the greasy politician who was sacked, Adem Somyurek said this morning:

"This morning I advised the Premier of my resignation as a Minister.

It follows publication of numerous personal and private conversations between myself and a long term friend and factional ally of mine.

It is clear that I was taped and surveilled in a Federal electorate office without my knowledge and that this material was published without my knowledge of its existence or my consent.

I will be taking steps to seek a police investigation into these matters.

With respect to allegations made around memberships of the party, I reject those and will be providing a rigorous defence during any party process.

The conversations published without my knowledge or consent were with someone who I trusted about internal party matters.

There are many robust discussions that occur on any given day in the Labor Party across all factions.

However I accept and take full responsibility for the fact that my language on a number of occasions was simply not appropriate.

While Ms Williams and I have been at odds factionally for many years, I should not have used the language I did about her and I apologise to her unequivocally.

Further, I am deeply sorry for language I used regarding highly valued and exceptional young people who are members of the LGBTI community.

These comments have quite rightly cost me my job."

More resignations to come i would say.

https://mobile.abc.net.au/news/2020-06-18/adem-somyurek-anthony-byrne-labor-texts-leaked-office/12367538

The "self-entitled patronising and annoying gay kids" scandal deepens.

Looks like 'ol mate is going to take a few scalps with him when he walks the plank.

More news from Victoria, Australia.

The 'Black Lives Matter' protests of 45,000 people in Melbourne have resulted in a spike in COVID-19 cases.

ABC News won't follow the story.

Aboriginal community in Australia busy renaming colonialist names of geographical areas:

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-07-03/wa-king-leopold-ranges-renamed-wunaamin-miliwundi-ranges/12416254

Personally, i dont care. I am just amazed that people get paid to sit around and do this all day. Not exactly the high tech worforce we need to be internationally competitive or have any productive benefit. It's just done to make BLM protestors happy.

They want to rename the town of Albany now because it was the first white settlement in Western Australia.

The funny thing is for this whole process to be legit, they should rename Sydney and Hobart.

And now for an update on the Muppet Show in Victoria, Australia:

https://mobile.abc.net.au/news/2020-07-04/victoria-coronavirus-hotel-quarantine-leaves-states-vulnerable/12420970

"A man who tested positive while in quarantine in Melbourne was allowed to fly to Sydney and later tested positive for COVID-19 after working two shifts at a Woolworths."

Allegations have also surfaced that contract guards at hotels were having sex with guests undergoing quarantine.

Based on results, i would suggest this maybe Daniel Andrews last drink at the bar.

A slightly different Muppet Show going on in NSW:

Credit where credit's due, Scomo can be humble when he wants to be.

You name it, we'll blame it.

Young South Sudanese leaders share pain of unfounded COVID blame
By Zach Hope of Sydney Morning Herald


Akuch Anyieth in Melbourne

Blame for Melbourne’s second-wave coronavirus outbreak came as no surprise to South Sudanese graduate student Akuch Anyieth: "because, you know, we’re used to it now".

Yet for all the community’s training in resilience and patient clarifications, the commentary of the last week and a half, most notably from Sky News host Peta Credlin, has felt no less demeaning.

"Even in a time when we all need each other, at a time when we should all stand in solidarity, communities are being condemned for something with no evidence to support it," says Ms Anyieth, 29, an emerging leader in her community.

Ends.

My commentary:

It's kind of disproportionate that the BLM movement in Melbourne applied to 0.01% of Aboriginal deaths but did not touch on the African-Australian community. It is starting to become uncomfortably and embarrasingly obvious that the African Australian community are forgotten by our media.

The 50,000 strong BLM protest two weeks ago in Melbourne looks to have helped cause part of the second COVID-19 wave in that city.

Again, the media will not run with that story either and continue to live in dreamland.

Victorias Premier has a problem.

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-07-20/daniel-andrews-brand-damaged-coronavirus-fight-victoria/12470896

The article misses the point. It's not actually his fault. 90% of the people he trusted to manage this are useless.

They couldn't dispense sauce at a Barbecue.

Victoria held a 40,000 strong BLM protest right in the middle of a global pandemic and this kicked up q4 days later

Also, for eveyones benefit, if you ask any Government to do something in Australia to do something, you will wait 2 years and then receive a letter outlining whybthey could not do it.

The Government employees here are considered utterly useless.

Nearly all the intelligent hard working entrepeneur types who get things done move into the private sector.

That is why i dont blame Daniel Andrews. He is running the equivalent of the Muppet Show and he has no one available to get things done correctly.

And it's a virus that is best contained by people's behaviour. Ultimately, this will now move to NSW and spread exactly the same as most cities on the planet.

Victoria's Premier Daniel Andrews and his Police Commisioner have promised to crack down on the 'batsh**t crazy'......'tinfoil hat brigade'.

https://mobile.abc.net.au/news/2020-08-28/victoria-records-113-coronavirus-cases-and-12-covid19-deaths/12603996

".... said a "small and selfish minority of foolish people" risked exposing more Victorians to the virus, and "the tinfoil hat-wearing brigade" was "alive and well" in Melbourne.

Protesters were "taking every opportunity to leverage the current situation to serve their own ridiculous notions" about conspiracies such as "how 5G is going to kill your grandkids".

"It's batsh**t crazy nonsense," he said.

"People need to wake up to themselves ... and you need to stop it."


Wait until he signs up for Atlas forums.

AFL Footballer has two children with two different women within the same week:

https://7news.com.au/sport/afl/retired-afl-player-has-two-children-with-two-women-in-same-week-c-1272381

Champion effort Josh! I have actually never heard of that before in human history. Maybe an Egyptian Pharaoh could pull that one off where both women remain happy.

Australia has just reported a fresh 'Josef Fritzl' case:

Facebook has threatened to stop users from sharing news content in Australia as it prepares for a new law forcing it to pay publishers for their articles.

Regulators want tech giants like Facebook and Google to pay for the content reposted from news outlets.

Last month Google warned its users that its search services could be "dramatically worse" as a result.

Facebook's latest move to block news sharing has escalated tensions between tech firms and regulators.

The social media network said that if the proposed legislation becomes law it will stop Australians from sharing news on Facebook and its subsidiary Instagram.

The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) has drawn up the rules to "level the playing field" between the tech giants and publishers that it says are struggling due to lost advertising revenue.

Facebook's argument is not very strong.

https://www.9news.com.au/national/facebooks-news-ban-ultimatum-threatens-all-australians-says-former-ceo/a841dca7-a272-43b3-bd01-b995bf785634

In Australia, no one is going to listen to Facebook and Google on this one.

They have been raping the local media industry for free for years to get content for free.

Now that have to pay for it.

More Facebook News.

Pregnant woman in lockdown arrested in her own home for making a Facebook post:

https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=466893250877470&id=100026703984987

This is 1984. Careful what you post on Facebook.

She did over-dramatise it by bullsh**tting, but the Victorian State Government has lost the plot.

She is facing a $20,000 fine.
