    Australians outraged: Is this beloved Aussie saying now considered 'tone deaf'? Find out why it's causing a fierce debate!

    The unacknowledged problem with the thinly-disguised envy and covetousness of the "we should all get the same" whine is that it is highly selective in its demands and fails to take account of the whole picture. You want all the benefits available to Indigenous people? Then take the whole...

    I'd prefer our system, despite the lack of political will to deal with exploitation and inconsistencies, to that of the USA! Now, that's one seriously-munted clusterfuck!

    Time ... ah, time ... I noted a while ago Oz is within range of North Korean missiles. And the way Trump eyes off mineral wealth, well, we could on the Invasion Agenda ... So, yeah ... time ...

    Australians outraged: Is this beloved Aussie saying now considered 'tone deaf'? Find out why it's causing a fierce debate!

    Australia is! When my son was two, toddling and curly-haired, I used to reflect that if we were African, in Africa, in only a few years' time he would be running round the jungle carrying an AK-47 and killing people. We don't go to bed wondering if tomorrow we'll finally have at least one...

    Australians outraged: Is this beloved Aussie saying now considered 'tone deaf'? Find out why it's causing a fierce debate!

    When I was growing up as a lad in the 60s you could get a whole bag of lollies for 5c, stuffed full, bursting at t'seems, and me ma n pa could fill up their cars for a couple of bucks. You could feed a family of twelve on 10 bucks a week and buy them all brand new clothes every month. We never...

    Australians outraged: Is this beloved Aussie saying now considered 'tone deaf'? Find out why it's causing a fierce debate!

    It's a non-question. The phrase originated, I believe, during the days when sheep and wool carried Australia's economic wealth and wellbeing. Those days are gone. The key features which moulded the Australian myth - a fair go and egalitarianism (for white people) - have long ago evaporated in...

    Tech CEO makes shocking move to end fact-checking—‘too much censorship'

    Yes. Marketplace especially is full of scams! I don't mean the real people - just the targeted company ads promising cheap genuine products. STAY. AWAY. FROM. THEM!

    Tech CEO makes shocking move to end fact-checking—‘too much censorship'

    But it's not just ads. [BTW Ad Blocker is rubbish. As you say, it increases the ads, not eradicates them!] Any revelation or information shared on FB has long been suspect and their fact checking never picked up irony or satire.

    Tech CEO makes shocking move to end fact-checking—‘too much censorship'

    Yes. Their so-called fact checking was, at best, very hit-and-miss!

    Tech CEO makes shocking move to end fact-checking—‘too much censorship'

    It's crazy. But Zuckerberg, having been diagnosed with a rare brain-rotting disease, has announced he will finally admit he stole the fb idea from his college roommate and pay him 50% of what fb earned, plus interest. Zuck said, "I'll die with a clear conscience. Amen."

    Kmart accused of stealing Aussie innovation: 'It’s the most un-Australian thing I’ve ever seen'

    Yep I feel the same. We ... erm ... just copied it from America ...

    Kmart accused of stealing Aussie innovation: 'It’s the most un-Australian thing I’ve ever seen'

    I sympathise with Gransbury but wasn't he naïve to leave himself open to abuse? Business is dog-ravage-dog. We're no longer in the 18th Century, where the commander of one army would invite the other army to fire first! And isn't Kmart an American company? #HardLessons #KmartSucks
