ABC FAKE NEWS: Watch this clip where Patricia Karvelas smears Jacinta Nampijinpa Price as a right-wing conspiracy theorist for claiming Albo is bringing in Indian voters inter-cut with Patricia Karvelas herself claiming Albo is doing this. Watch

Ever actually listened to CBC talk radio?

I did for fun.

Its just boomers calling and complaining about the "crazy guy" down south.

Everything is America's fault.....Quebec radio does the same thing, but about Canada.

Its a nesting doll of little brother syndromes.

Katherine

Northern Territory Police are investigating a series of stolen motor vehicle incidents that occurred across Katherine overnight, during which offenders allegedly drove dangerously and attempted to ram police vehicles.

During the evening, police received reports that two vehicles had been stolen in Katherine: an Isuzu utility from near the Katherine Hot Springs, followed by a taupe Toyota Landcruiser from a commercial car business on the north side. It is believed both thefts were committed by the same unknown group of youths.

One of the stolen vehicles is believed to have contained an unsecured Ruger .300 rifle and ammunition at the time it was stolen.

Police received multiple reports that the stolen vehicles were being driven dangerously and were actively targeting other road users.

Police successfully deployed tyre deflation devices on the Isuzu utility, and the occupants fled the scene on foot.

The stolen Landcruiser was sighted on several occasions by police and was allegedly used to target and attempt to ram police vehicles, while its occupants also threw objects at police. Due to the dangerous manner of driving, police withdrew and developed a coordinated plan to safely stop the vehicle.

Tyre deflation devices were subsequently deployed at several locations around Katherine, and the Landcruiser was successfully spiked near the Katherine Bridge. Police monitored the vehicle to Acacia Drive, where it was abandoned.

Approximately 10 youth offenders fled from the vehicle into nearby bushland. Despite extensive patrols, no arrests have been made at this stage.

The two spiked vehicles have been recovered and seized for forensic examination.

The firearm and ammunition remain outstanding, and police are urging anyone with information regarding their whereabouts to contact police immediately. Anyone in the Katherine region who may have dashcam footage or other footage of the vehicles being driven is urged to contact police.

Remember when @JNampijinpa said the exact same thing...

That Albanese is importing voters from India...

And Alex Hawke and his band of merry morons belted her?

Well now the ABC is gushing about it

Whilst ever Hawke is in the Liberal Party it is not a serious threat.

HISTORY BEING REWRITTEN

The Pirate is plugging misinformation by dismissing all the truthful eye witness accounts of indigenous Australians recorded by thousands of people, over a hundreds of years

Here he is pretending they were equivalent to the Aztecs and Egyptians for making fishing baskets - which are apparently comparable to the Chichen Itza and the Pyramids

Oh and aboriginals invented bread and were environmental crusaders. Completely untrue

“Fitz: Speaking to your theme, I imagine that most Australians have inherited a false view: that Aboriginal people before colonisation were jumped-up cave people, when in reality they possessed one of the world’s oldest and most sophisticated scientific knowledge systems. Is that a fair way of putting it?

Corey Tutt is the founder of DeadlyScience, which aims to encourage young Indigenous students to pursue careers in science, maths, engineering and technology.

CT: Yes. And I would add that I think the first colonists putting out that false notion was likely by design, right? It’s much easier to be cruel to people when you think they’re less than you.

Fitz: Go on.

CT: If you think that Aboriginal culture is a primitive culture, go to a supermarket, go and find some tea-tree oil. That’s a black fella medicine. They were the first people in the world to invent bread. They built one of the world’s oldest surviving man-made structures, the Brewarrina fish traps. They could tell coming weather patterns by the twinkling of the stars. This country’s First Peoples had this amazing culture, similar to the Aztecs, similar to the Egyptians, similar to the Romans, similar to Europeans. But theirs was knowledge through a different lens with a particular focus on sustaining themselves within their environment.”

Some Ontario bureaucrats have decided, on the basis of a legal technicality, that illegal immigrants are entitled to provincial welfare so long as they: 1) stay in the country long enough to no longer be called a “visitor” (this rule is entirely subjective); and 2) they don’t have a deportation order against them.

Notably, the illegal migrant in this case spent over two decades working under the table and never paid income tax — ergo, he didn’t contribute to the system he is now parasitically mooching from.

[JayGen 𝕏 er🇨🇦 @JayGenXer]

This is how they manufacture “public opinion.”

They tell you “60% of Canadians think Mark Carney is doing a great job handling the economy.”

What they don’t tell you? That “60% of Canadians” was actually **60% of roughly 1,051 people** polled by Nanos.

One thousand people FFS 🤦🏻‍♂️

That’s not a national sample!

That’s a focus group. At best they cherry-pick respondents who lean their way. At worst they just run the numbers until they get the headline they want.

Meanwhile the real numbers are brutal:

- 2 in 5 Canadians are struggling to put food on the table
- 40% are losing sleep over how they’ll make ends meet
- 60% feel anxiety when thinking about their personal finances

But sure… tell us again how 1,051 carefully selected people speak for 41 million Canadians.

❌ This isn’t polling

Below is the announcement of this new National Strategy. Note the use of the phrase "health gap." Women's health advocates use that vague phrase to divert attention away from the sex difference in life expectancy toward outcomes like years lived in disability. A man who dies by suicide at 26 doesn't live long enough to develop arthritis.

1) We don't have free market capitalism. In a free market, government protects property rights and enforces contracts. It doesn't "manage" the economy.
2) Socialism has failed everywhere it's been tried.
3) Dude can't manage to bench press his body weight.
