Popular Post G Rex Posted June 3, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 3, 2021 The Australia I used to know & love was a laidback place with a bit of larrikin flair. We had a sense of humour & enjoyed a laugh - sometimes at the expense of someone else , but we generally kissed and made up. Now the country has been ruined by political correctness & apologists. The current (worldwide) trend of erasing or attempting to right past deeds that were acceptable at the time (but are not now) annoys me too. How about we concentrate on now & the future , & not try to correct the past? If I go to one more sporting event, meeting, or just about anything really & have to thank & acknowledge the traditional custodians of our land I will scream! And now this is being banned too! Wicked campers were a legendary Aussie icon… (ok - maybe some of the.vans were a bit blue!) https://apple.news/A4SS7ZgAQQm6ybWPzroT6Rw https://apple.news/AKD1HmOFLQz6tx_6gyoBVhQ 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JackGats Posted June 3, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 3, 2021 From what I've read on the manosphere Australia is one of the Saudi Arabias of feminism. Not a safe place for men. The way Australia has prevented its own citizens from traveling home during the pandemic is also scary. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just think how the Danes/Vikings must have felt. After a week of rowing across the North Sea they looked forward to bit of weekend rape and picking up a few trinkets to take home.

lapswim Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Hilarious camper with the Qld plates. The thing is T Rex it was the wowsers, do-gooders and god’s police, many of them women, that separated up those aboriginal families in the first place. Now, after the inevitable destruction that happened to those people, that same class of wowser, do-gooder and god’s policewoman are still pushing a cure, as blind as ever. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nojohndoe Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 I increasingly wonder if or not Australia is the prime experimental location of some strange implementation of social control and dictate. Ideal scenario.. Singular population/politically controlled Continent with 100% sea borders. Ostensibly a valid democratic nation with full voting rights (with the exception currently to depart at own free will). IMO little difference to the Chinese /CCP other than being politically misled by a Government willing to be a proxy antagonist on behalf of an economic protagonist that it presumes equivalence to and adulation of !

There's a guy who's already in Australia about to have open heart surgery and they refused an exemption for his wife: Quote This is insane and inhuman. I am waiting to have an open heart surgery and applied for my wife's inbound exemption, attached all medical test reports, 2 medical certificates from my GP and Surgeon that explains my problem and time period of recovery, bank balance to ensure that we have enough to go for quarantine at our own cost, marriage certificate, stat Dec. Every single thing that proves this is my critical condition and I need my wife with me for my recovery. Still got rejected saying apply again if the circumstances changes!!!
