Controversy is not new to Margaret Court. It has emerged that in 1970 she wrote to a New Zealand newspaper defending apartheid saying,“if you ask me, South Africa has the racial situation rather better organised than anyone else, certainly much better than the United States.” This was in the context of some other sports people boycotting South Africa.

Finally, to those who jump, without hesitation, to the defence of Cardinal Pell and assume that his accusers are “deluded” or “confused” or hold some maniacal vendetta: As stated above, George Pell is entitled to the presumption of innocence, but that does not mean that his accusers deserve to be summarily dismissed in the way that children almost always had been until the royal commission turned decades of silence and obfuscation and failure-to-believe on its head.

Donald Trump’s relationship with the 1.6 billion Muslims currently living on planet Earth is looking more than a little bit shaky, to say the least. During his presidential campaign, he called for a total ban on Muslims entering the country. He later toned down his threat, promising instead to temporarily suspend immigration from countries that have […]

It seems life is no guessing game for Andrew Bolt. “the police took in a man for questioning” becomes he was “arrested over the NY bombings” and now has to prove his innocence. The Golum Andrew Bolt has stuck it head up above the surface of sewerage again to comment.
According to Andrew in Australia only the white employed middle and upper class citizens are deserving of British justice, innocent until proven guilty. The rest are guilty even though not arrested or charged. If they are taken in for questioning or assisting police they must first prove their innocence. Bolt and his band of travelers reminds me of the Trumpians. Not your average Trump supporter though but more like the calibre of Eddie a” how dare you call me a deplorable bitch” and “I’m going with the world’s best business man” even though he received $900 mill in Corporate Welfare

The US with the help of Australia has recruited Syrians to add to their permanently guilty list having oops bombed and killed 90 of their family and friends and a further 7 in Afghanistan with more to come without a shadow of doubt. The Saudis are presently dropping made in the USA bombs on the Yemenis with many Oopses occurring there as well but which we won’t be told of. As far as Bolt is concerned ‘sorry ‘should be enough for these mistakes made by our boys in the red white and blue. What more do the Syrians and Aghanis want blood?

Saturday 20 August 2016 There are no two better politicians at feigning indignation than Peter Dutton and “the mouth that roared” Christopher Pyne.
