Remember when Abbott promised to be the Prime Minister of Indigenous affairs? I guess he just forgot about that

quote:Patriotic Australian letters were posted in Aquinas College at Menai and surrounding suburbs. Reference was made to the 'spineless attack on the Life Guards at North Cronulla Beach. All Australians are called upon to unite and strike down the young men of 'Middle Eastern' appearance. I didn't know this happened, which is weird considering it's my old high school. Our english teacher all made us do a speech about the Cronulla riots which was a horrible day because I'm pretty sure at least 80% of the class were glad the riots happened, and a couple of kids talked like they had gone down and gotten involved. The Shire is poo poo.

Putin is coming to Australia for the G20 in November. I'm sure he'll get a nice friendly welcome.

Abbott should learn from this comment by the Malaysian PM http://www.nytimes.com/2014/07/22/w...av=lede-package quote:Mr. Najib said that at times over the past few days he had wanted to be more outspoken about events in Ukraine, “but sometimes, we must work quietly in the service of a better outcome.”

Gough Suppressant posted:Scott Morrison asked Brett Lee and Glenn McGrath to sign some cricket bats for him. I guess it might be awkward next time they bump into Fawad Ahmed. At least we still have Chappell http://www.unrefugees.org.au/about-us/special-representatives/ian-chappell

MysticalMachineGun posted:Now useless tory shitheel Brett Lee is also saying he didn't know what the bats were for: To be fair to Lee, we don't actually know how much of a Tory shitheel he is. We know he thought Abbott would be a great PM, but he also lives in Abbotts electorate and may have just desperately wanted to captain the PM's XI. It's not like the Telegraph actually provided proof that either he or Mcgrath knew what the bats were going to be for.

In the Minister for Justices speech he seems to refer to "new" psychoactive substances. So I guess all existing ones are okay? quote:It will be up to a person whose goods have been seized on suspicion of being a new psychoactive substance to show why they should be returned to them. If an importer cannot do this—for example, by showing that the goods have a legitimate use—their goods will be destroyed.
