Australia is going mad

I remember hearing a story of when the troop had returned from a late night "storm damage callout" in BAOR in the early 70s, and the duty cook put on carrot sandwiches. They were going to lynch him until the Guard Commander interjected.

Progressive left madness. Simple as.

Pie floater. Famous Adelaide grub. Upside down meat pie in pea soup with tomato sauce. Trump has this right. Common sense has been lost.

Why is it deflection? Explain or do you just use this term when you know you can't argue against a point.

Seems to me you have a very poor knowledge. Was carrots the only thing you could come up with outside junk food?

My wife makes $ 40 per hour more on weekends or holidays 

 

I understand - but $40 buys a lot less in Australia than it does here in LOS

BTW this is not deflection it's perfection especially late at night after being on the booze. I doubt there will be many if any on this forum that can relate to this.

Wow! This is your response to which was a comment from myself to another poster being @G Rex and here it is again:

Any chance you can rationalise  your comment. Personally I doubt you can, Trolling? Bot? Stupid? Who knows.

Don't you subscribe to the principle that the man provides food and shelter for the family.

I think he has not been to thailand either.

IMO giving Dutton and the Murdoch press the finger was very sensible.

 

Educating people to avoid junk food is sensible. Hospitals have to buy expensive bariatric beds to cope with obese people, and they are a weight and space debit for airlines.

 

Australia has an obesity rate of 30.9%. America is 40.3%. Japan is only 4%.

 

Japan has the best average life span, and far fewer fast food ( = junk food ) outlets than America or Australia.

 

Draw your own conclusions

'Floater' is a word that should NEVER be associated with food. Sorry, but it had to be said. 

Now back to you political earbash fest.

One of the benefits of having new liberal leadership.

 

It's only the beginning 

 

Good luck!  You’re going to need it.

Been in power 3 years and  now 3 year more so not new.  The losing party is called Liberal as it happens.

Air quality and roads. Better steaks. It is boring. Just look at Still Kicking. He sits in a unit talking about Thailand or his wife earning 35/40 an hour 100 times. 

At my work we sometimes have meetings - 50 people talking about a particular topic - but they start the meeting with a recognition we are on Aboriginal land. It seems silly. At very big national events it is ok. But the way I look at it is if the side of effect of being nice and kind is some overzealous political correctness it's not so bad. Not good but no big deal most of the time. Lovely day in Melbourne today so I like spending time in both countries - prefer Australian approach to politics rather than most other countries.
