    Independent journalist silenced as ABC flexes its digital muscle

    If the majority of media outlets are under right-wing control, how can it be said that (quote)'the mainstream media in general, and the ABC in particular, is nothing more nor less than the propaganda arm of Labor and the Greens?' Doesn't add up.

    Independent journalist silenced as ABC flexes its digital muscle

    Wonder which way the Packer family, the Murdoch family and the Stokes family, who control the majority of Australia's media outlets vote? Would it be Labor or the Greens?

    While America ditches self-checkouts, ALDI Australia does the opposite, they assure

    There are 3 supermarkets close by to where I live. Aldi, Woolworths and Coles. Aldi, as yet, has not introduced self-serve checkouts, but Coles and Woolworths were quick to take it on to the point of it being the only option for shoppers. Both supermarkets soon realised that they were losing...

    who exactly would fill all the many thousands of vacant positions in the health care, aged care, cleaning and goods delivery sectors,(to name but a few occupations) if the 'machete wielding monkeys', 'jungle bunnies, camel jockeys and curry munchers' were 'fucked off backed to where they came...

    This disturbing sight causes massive uproar among animal advocates: 'It's just disgusting'

    Apparently there are 50 bull fighting schools operating in Spain, some of them supported by public funding and they encourage young people, male and female to enrol. It's difficult to understand, in this day and age where civilisation has supposedly evolved way beyond the Stone Age, how such a...

    This disturbing sight causes massive uproar among animal advocates: 'It's just disgusting'

    Sadly, cruelty to animals has become common place in today's society, and in countries like Spain, it's even become a tourist attraction. The spectacle of bull fighting, which involves the tormenting, torture and final execution of an animal in a spectacular finale is touted as family...

    Glyn Davis to quit as the prime minister’s top public servant

    Perhaps the Greens didn't do so well because they didn't have the backing of multi-national mining companies providing cash incentives

    Labor has promised to tackle homelessness. Here’s what homeless people say they need

    That's exactly what's happening in my suburb - under a Labor Government. A new train and bus station and a projected population growth of several hundred people living in new houses surrounding the hub. It's going ahead leaps and bounds and there doesn't appear to be any problems with Unions.

    Labor has promised to tackle homelessness. Here’s what homeless people say they need

    While it may be opportune to jump on the bandwagon, and exploit the issue as a political one, it is a social problem the World over, not just in Australia, and it's one that presents a mammoth challenge for governments everywhere.

    Trump jokes about becoming pope as internet erupts with reactions

    Perhaps I'm wrong, but I don't think the Prime Minister is: * flagrantly exploiting commercial markets to augment his, and his associates, already billionaire status, * confidently stating that he intends to appropriate land belonging to other countries in order to exploit their resources...

    Trump jokes about becoming pope as internet erupts with reactions

    Out of respect for the Pope, attendees were asked to wear appropriate attire, including a black tie, at his funeral. Trump showed his regard for the Pope by wearing a blue suit and a light blue tie, which basically says it all about a narcissistic, power-crazy, bully. Not content with...

    'They're pretty trigger-happy over there': Aussie singer shares life-threatening experience while living abroad

    That was then and it was already screwed up. Under the current U.S. administration, why would anyone who's thinking straight, consider taking the risk to holiday there, let alone going out on a limb to live there.
