Insiders is everything that's wrong with Australian politics.

We need a show called Outsiders where people who aren't part of the same inbred boys club of Canberra news and politics say what they think without fear of missing the next junket or offending someone they quite like on a personal level.

Bigfooty?

Barnaby to run for leadership again. Comedy gold.

Have to brush up on my " big-house " slang

Reminds me of a bloke I met a few years ago in Bali who gave me a quick crash course on same.

Funny stuff.....it was late, me and TOD Jr were quite a few drinks in, and we decided to go for a bit of a stroll around Legian. Stopped into one of the ten zillion Circle K's and bumped into this heavily inebriated bloke and a couple of his mates. He was off his face, crapping on about his tattoos and explaining how they related to the time he'd spent inside. He was referring to stretches inside in terms of hamburgers - a cheeseburger is x amount of time inside, one with the lot is blah blah amount of time, etc, etc.

So the next morning in the hotel, TOD Jr is just aimlessly surfing the net, checking out an Instagram account of some dude who collates all kinds of amusing videos and posts them on his Insta account. Suddenly he starts pissing himself laughing and calls me over. One of the clips posted was of the bloke we'd just met the night before. How's that for coincidence?

Anyway, the vid was of this bloke being interviewed on the news after his brother had been shot. Not sure what's funnier - the fact that he's talking about "the lot" like he was the night before, or the part right at the end of the clip (obviously in response to being instructed not to swear on camera).

Enjoy....

China has been using academia for intel ops for decades.

There's LOTS of ways to compromise people like this.

The Rosenbergs the most famous case of science/intel operations.

This article is way more articulate.
But I don’t think it was a bio-weapon more likely they created the virus searching for a cure to a disease that wasn’t there. Hence chicken and the egg.

 

[Snake_Baker]

The view at present is that it's a zoonotic mutation arising from bats.

As for "bioweapon", sections of the Chinese community aren't the only folks who have unique ACE-2 enzyme factors, so it's a terrible choice of "bioweapon".

Ha, I watched this the other night. Gold.

They were feeling a bit sorry for her as the night wore on, right up until the point where she delivered her speech.

A couple of highlights....

"East London is fairly shitty at the best of times. 82% Muslim - what can I say? Those people are raping their own mother."

...or this somewhat baffling gem.....

"Epileptics are all weirdos - they're up there with the Asians."


Needless to say, thoroughly deserved award.

Not my area of expertise,
but if someone was to unethically administer immunosuppression drugs to bats after infecting them with SARS, MERS and Ebola.
If it jumped would that still be considered a zoonotic mutation?

God I remember her when she was actually on The Apprentice in the UK.

Just a grifter.

 

[Val Keating]

They rolled her out on 60 minutes to slag off Price Harry’s wife Meghan. Remember thinking who the **** does this old campaigner think she is.

DiNatale just resigned as leader of the greens. Great news for the greens. What a disaster of a politician.

The Greens will retain a strong influence in the Senate after increasing their primary vote and looking set to hold all six seats they had up for re-election.

ABC election expert Antony Green has predicted the minor party will win all six Senate seats, meaning the Greens would have nine senators, including three whose terms are ongoing.

Would love to know the ratio between libs/nats blaming the greens for the bush fires vs increased vote towards the greens away from the major parties.

Good question.

 

[DesertRoo]

Good question.

If own goals were a thing, the Nats putting barnaby back in would be up there with funniest things I’ve seen from a political party.
At least it might take the pressure off Scotty from marketing having dumb and dumber comedy duo.

Not sure anyone gives a stuff about the Nats so Barnaby in or out wouldn't matter.

 

[giantroo]

Adam Bandt is running for the Greens leadership.

Don't think Scotty, Matthias and Pete would like him running around again.

Sure they would.....



For a laugh.

Seriously though. Its amazing that this bloke even appears to beleive he has any credibility at all.

This the thing, Green vote is rising in Lib seats.

The much anticipated inner city sweep that was meant to follow Bandt winning Melbourne didn't happen.

But their vote is going up in well off Lib seats is rising quickly - Prahran, Higgins, Kooyong.

And all the independent types taking Lib and Nat seats are fully signed up on climate change, that's why they're winning them.

No quite catching your drift there DR.

If the Bat is infected, then what would immunosuppression achieve?

They may as well put SHY in charge and lapse in to extinction. What a waste of a good idea the Greens became. Did enormous damage to promoting ecological issues.

What’s up with the people claiming racism over stopping Chinese people flying to their countries because of coronavirus? Never heard of quarantine before?

Hey I’m so woke that I let a person with coronavirus stay at my house because they identified as healthy....**** off
