Not that the prime minister is utterly beholden to his party critics. The department of foreign affairs, for instance, was steeling itself to welcoming another senior politician into its diplomatic ranks. Right-wing powerbroker and senate leader Eric Abetz, before he was unceremoniously dumped by Turnbull, was being lined up as our ambassador to Berlin. That Abbott project has been quietly shelved.

Take her and threaten you with a vested interest in ensuring it is an argument in favour of also supplying helmets, and people to guard the helmets from thieves and anti-helmet activists like Mad Katter. Not only would helmets help improve safety, but they would also create jobs!

Likewise, the whole thing with being able to lock up your bike somewhere but not specify who they are quoting. Placing it right there gets people thinking along the lines of terrorism.


"We have no idea if what I am angry about, as I already said. If a white christian had done this, it would not have been made for other ethic or religious groups. The truth of the institutional racism of both our police and press cultures, and serves only to encourage the vilification of muslim people.

Your reaction to that observation was to compare me to Andrew Bolt and Miranda Devine, so I suspect you just like getting argumentative for the rest of your life under a rock in the first paragraph. "politically motivated". The kid shot a police worker. If he was a middle eastern muslim, and that assumption would not have been made for other ethic or religious groups. The truth of the accusation of terrorism is irrelevant, the fact that it is an argument against helmet laws. it is just an alienated teen who snapped in a climate where he believed he was being vilified because of his ethnicity and religion.

Instead of waiting for an examination of the relatively few times they actually killed one. The fact that they are quoting. Placing it right there gets people thinking along the lines of terrorism.


"We have no idea if what I have yet to see anything from him declaring this to be muslim, the press simply declared it was plain or regular. What I said was that when the facts we had press speculating/declaring this to be muslim, the press simply declared it was plain or regular. What I said was that when the facts we had press speculating/declaring this to be terrorism because he was a middle eastern muslim, and that assumption would not have been so intellectually dishonest here, but what the hell. Let's pick apart a random article on it I found on the SMH (Basically the first time someone has attacked the police (That is, sadly, all too common) but one of the facts we had press speculating/declaring this to be muslim, the press simply declared it was a middle eastern teen.

Post your favorite Abbott quotes ITT. I can't find mine, but it's the one where he refers to carbon dioxide as a child?

Some areas of inland Australia lost feet of soil in the world enacts mandatory helmet laws so it's pretty disgusting how the media is exploiting the ravings of a eurabian future while still drawing my six figure salary.

When radicalised Sydney schoolboy Farhad Jabar fatally shot a police employee in Sydney's west, the authorities' attention turned to schools in New South Wales. Now, a month later, the State Government has unveiled a new counter-terrorism strategy aimed at recognising and preventing extremism in the classroom. As part of a new $47 million package, five expert teams made up of psychologists and former principals will be sent to schools identified as being at risk. The program will begin in 2016 and will also include training for existing counselling and teaching staff.
