i think it was bc the kea has a really weird shaped beak that made it harder to use the stick. the crow had no probs bc he had the cone beak

David Leyonhjelm's 'all cops are bastards' comments 'appalling' – police

The Police Association of New South Wales has called for David Leyonhjelm to be sacked from a parliamentary committee into law enforcement after the Liberal Democrat senator criticised police for their treatment of football fans.

Leyonhjelm is heading up an inquiry into nanny state laws which he said restrict the freedom of adults to make their own decisions.

The inquiry on Tuesday looked at rules imposed on fans of Western Sydney Wanderers football club. It was revealed in September that police intended to ban fans from marching to the ground together, flying banners, clapping with their hands above their head and jumping up and down, among other measures. They later backed down from the proposals.

“There is a saying amongst them that all cops are bastards,” Leyonhjelm told reporters in Sydney on Tuesday. “The cops have earned that label, they have to un-earn it.”

The head of the Police Association, Scott Weber, labelled the comments “appalling” and “an outrage”.

“The senator, by repeating those comments and backing them up, is not acting how any elected official should behave. Such attitudes and vitriol are, and always will be, an affront to community decency and values,” Weber said.

Weber wants Leyonhjelm removed from the joint parliamentary committee into law enforcement.

“If senator David Leyonhjelm is representative of the thinking of a majority of senators then maybe it’s time to rethink if the people of Australia need a Senate at all,” he said.

Leyonhjelm was defiant. “The police are not our masters. They are our servants and I think they should remember that,” he said on Wednesday afternoon.

The justice minister, Michael Keenan, whose responsibilities include oversight of the Australian federal police, said the federal government does not have the power to sack parliamentarians.

“If we had that power we’d probably use it regularly,” he joked.

Keenan strongly backed law enforcement agencies, saying: “They’re not bullying us, they’re protecting us.”

He has called on all elected representatives to support them.

“I’m disappointed if it’s the case where individual members don’t do that, but really it’s a matter for those individual members,” he said.

Can't have a senator that's critical of police on a parliamentary committee for law enforcement. Calling for political oversight of policing to be abolished if the overseers don't like police. All cops truly are bastards.

i mean, why bother with two houses of parliament?

Have you heard about First Dog? It's a very good comic I just love.

Also, wear your bike helmets kids. I copped several blows to the head but my helmet left me totally unscathed.



Finally you should check out First Dog as it's a good comic I like it very much.

It's not about being a stopped clock, it's about having quotes in the media which show ordinary (fuckwit) Australians that not everybody has to be all bipartisan "Yeah of course it's OK for Border Force to check your papers in Melbourne" or "the police are always right and never wrong and deserve unconditional obedience."

And the way that poo poo is going these days with data retention I would rather the left embraces allies wherever it can find them instead of unconditionally shafting libertarians (or whoever) for not having 100% Correct Opinions. I'll take Leyjonhjelm any day over another cockhead Liberal.

lion helm comes off a production line of sandstone uni, student activism, traditional profession, consultant,

This totally vindicates anything he said. Too many authorities high and low are of the notion that respect is implicit and not earned. I doubt actually calling them a bastard will imbue them with humility but how else are you meant to communicate this to them and have them acknowledge you?
