Anthony Albanese appears to be following the adage ‘keep you friends close, but keep your enemies closer’, it’s just a pity the Australian public doesn’t seem to fit in there anywhere.

Or is it a case of wishful thinking – ” Who would be a poor man, a beggar, a thief, if he held a rich man in his hand?” Jethro Tull

In reply to Woopwoop. The first rule of writing is: Read it out loud. If it then sounds like nonsense, it probably is.

“If you were going to read it out loud, which one would you emphasise the most?” I think this is the answer, and not to be sneered at. If only some of my students when reading aloud, or even some reporters, emphasised the words that the DM does, they would be a lot easier to understand.

Re the Daily Mail: ‘Or, as another source phrased it: “I don’t think fine art can be explained”. ‘

Brilliant. Thanks for today’s best laugh.

I guess the ultimate Daily Fail headline will be one including all of the above. “Man recovers after his six WIVES REALLY cut off his PENIS and fed it to their VERY hungry 36 DOGS “

It’s good to see George Christensen grow a huge, bushy beard like so many other fundamentalist Christians. Does this make him a fundamentalist Christensen? It matters not, but hopefully he is spreading the word of God throughout the Manila nightclubs where his attention is always needed.

From the evidence, is seems the trouble for these downtrodden and oppressed victim proponents of a ‘free speech crisis’ is that there’s too much of it?
That there’s too much competition for their minority to be given the priority they think they deserve, to be heard over all others?

{An easily accessible telethon – for those interested – that raised <20% of the hoped-for? “More people would be interested if they were allowed”?]

The trouble for their free speech is that it’s free to be ignored – and is, by a majority that don’t want to be sucked into their orbit.
