There's no such thing as gravity. The Earth sucks.

You know I've had a really good think about this quote, and it reminded me of a couple of years ago whilst I was in the US, where these (what I'd call religious nut jobs) kept on harassing the friends and relations of recently returned service men and women at their funerals. They blamed the veterans for their own deaths and verbally abused those attending, as "pieces of garbage" and more.
The religious group was taken to court for harassment, but was cleared due to the 1st amendment of their constitution, which covers freedom of speech.
So no matter how distasteful their comments were, they were allowed to continue.
So although we don't have that law technically, we should allow freedom of speech, no matter our thoughts.

I’m a big boy, I can take it. Unlike your liking friend I won’t sook when challenged.
But as long as you don’t take it to the next level and hide your face and become violent then I’ll be fine.

Nice little discussion between Corman and Wong today.
Wasn’t the wisest thing comparing Wong with Hanson.

Completely agree with freedom of speech, and think we are doing humanity disservice by slowly reducing it.
My comment more relates to the weight we put on each side of said arguement, anti-vaxxers and even climate change deniers were shielded from ridicule because of this notion of two sides to each arguement (being equal).
It gave them legitimacy that they didn't deserve (IMO).

If you get knocked over by a bus and killed, make sure you don’t do it if Campbell Newman is on his way to pushing some pencils

Such a wrong position.
Set up a federal ICAC, broaden its jurisdiction to beyond government to deal with Commonwealth registered organisations (unlimited liability companies and trade Unions).
I tend to suspect that by the nature of vertical fiscal imbalance the Federal Government is in itself not in as dire need of an ICAC as state governments. Not a good enough reason in itself not to have one though.
Alberici in trouble again, for inaccurate political reporting at the ABC:

That's what happens when you keep cutting the budget - editorial blunders like this (and it's not good) happen more often.

Oh Boy.
That's really not good.
Partly the education system, partly her simply not paying attention.
Actually, I couldn't tell you what date Lt Cdr James Cook first discovered Australia. The year was 1770, but the specific day?
Hahaha even Greg Brown is wrong. If you're going to correct someone else's error, best not to make another one yourself.
It's not the day they sailed into Botany Bay. The First Fleet arrived in Botany Bay between 18-20 Jan 1788. They spent a couple of days there, before deciding it wasn't a suitable location for the new colony. 26th January marks the day that the colony was officially declared in Port Jackson.
I really need to read things more closely sometimes.
Nobody's perfect, not even you.
But I reckon you're still light years ahead of SHY in the I.Q. department.
Light was down at the Glenelg gumtree around 1750 from memory.

86 years before Proclamation Day? Wow.
Oh that’s a classic, a Leftie with an agenda *s up and it’s because the government don’t blow more money on them?
You’ve posted some doozies in your time but this is right up there.
