So a sexual predator is allowed wear his ceremonial robes, but his nephew is not allowed to wear his military regalia, despite years of active service? #NotMyKing#NotMyQueen#CoronationDay
No fan of the monarchy, & support an Aus republic; but this is propaganda level BS. The people in the UK had the freedom to choose to celebrate the coronation, unlike the people in the second photo. Plus, it's an insult to those fighting for freedom to make such a comparison.
People who are older than Joe Biden:
- Harrison Ford (just made anther Indiana Jones movie)
- Paul McCartney (touring around the world)
- Patrick Stewart (still playing Captain Picard)
- Mel Brooks (producing a new TV series)
We don't need to hear about Biden's age, thanks!
@Optus The moment I hang up, ur staff disconnect my nbn! Now, after another 30 mins on the phone to get it reconnected I’m told it’ll take another hour! If ur going to outsource your call centre for cheap labour, at least spend some of the extra money on training competent staff!
@Optus after 14 loyal years, I’m changing providers. I spent over an hour on the phone to organise a disconnection at my current address for early in May, and repeated this multiple times before confirming all the details. 1/2
Oh the #irony of this individual demanding an enquiry into #LidiaThorpe considering her behaviour in parliament. NEITHER of these people should be representing the Australian people.
MEDIA RELEASE | Thorpe should be investigated over strip club incident
Former Greens senator Lidia Thorpe should be investigated by Victoria police for remarks she made to others outside a Brunswick strip club over the weekend.
One Nation leader Senator Pauline Hanson said Senator Thorpe’s language, captured on camera and published by news outlets, might be considered a threat under Victorian law.
“I think Victoria police should be carefully examining that footage to determine if Senator Thorpe has broken the law,” Senator Hanson said.
“The Australian Human Rights Commission might also consider examining the footage for possible breaches of Section 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act. I think the people subjected to her abuse on the weekend should come forward and see that she is held accountable, because the Senate has shown it’s too gutless to do so.
“No one – least of all an elected representative of the people – is above the law and I think many Australians would be appalled at a senator abusing her privilege like this. While Senator Thorpe may not recognise the law or think other Australians belong here the fact is that we all share the public space, even if it’s a footpath outside a Brunswick strip club at 3am on a Sunday morning, and we have a right to be in it without being racially abused.”
Senator Hanson said Victorians needed to ask themselves if Senator Thorpe was an appropriate representative.
“Many Victorians would be asking if Senator Thorpe had any intentions of fairly representing them in Canberra given her obvious contempt for Parliament and for those Australians who do not share her Aboriginal heritage, and even her contempt for those who do share Aboriginal her heritage but not her views,” she said.
“That contempt is on full display in this footage and has been during incidents in which she has verbally attacked Aboriginal elders, or protested at public events, and even when she has spoken on the floor of the Senate.
“Senator Thorpe’s behaviour is setting the benchmark for the black nationalism activists who will populate the indigenous voice to Parliament if the referendum is successful later this year. The prospect of our enshrining such voices in our Constitution is alarming.”

@StephenKing Just finished reading Billy Summers, and wanted to say thank you. Billy was a 'bad man', but you humanised him and I cared what happened to him. And the ending was perfect. I loved it!
And this is why women don't report assualts! Why bother when the survivor experiences more pain and suffering than the convicted rapists! https://t.co/GyBiAxDb8y
#hillsong is a cult that protects child abusers. Its leaders live a life of luxury thanks to the gullability of its followers. Wake up! Time to tax all religions/cults and prosecute any organisation that proteects predators.
Religion should not be off-limits to humour. We are heading down a dangerous path if we cancel a show because a small group has been offended by a joke. #TheProject#notocensorship
