The Dead Roo

Remember those ridiculous black and white films from the early 1930’s, specifically the ones relating to the use of …shock horror…MARIJUANA!!!!!
The one that cracks me up most is the one where this guy takes a puff on a joint, a puff mind you and seconds later is murdering his wife with an axe.
Of course a […]

Well I hope everyone in Australia is appreciating the $1 million per day (ALP Figures, not mine) that the liberal party is spending advertising their work choices BS.
In keeping with the liberal party policy of “treating the Australain public with utter contempt” their latest offering sees not one but a series of ads showing…not a […]

I have just finished browsing the Dept. of Immigration’s website taking a good look around the citizenship area, sadly I don’t think there is grounds to revoke John Howard’s citizenship, unless he is convicted of a serious crime prior to attaining it, which, as he was born here will be while he was in utero.

A couple of jurisdictions have taken steps towards removing the anachronism - the ACT abolished abortion-related […]

Senator Bill Heffernan has had a long history of making grossly misogynist, homophobic and racist remarks, but his remarks about Julia Gillard this week are a step too far.
Heffernan has had numerous opportunities to make amends over the years, but keeps making faux-apologies and then unabashedly reoffending. He should have been not just asked to […]
