The 2020 Australia Day treason list.

Remove this Banner Ad

Another tremendous Australia Day long weekend celebration of our great country.

Those councils who refused to participate have potentially cost their small businesses millions in lost revenue. Citizen ceremonies, marches, get togethers in the local square...anything to keep the locals spending locally, instead of heading orf to the cricket.

I'd be filthy and looking at possible legal action.

At least it gave us a sneak peek into life under an oppressive Labor government.

To paraphrase young Greta: Put them against the wall, before it's too late.

What local square?

How do you guys come up with all these delusions without acid?

The businesses have no rights and pay for decisions which affect them but have zero influence on. Other than the usual local council bribery and corruption path.

You didnt say they are not important, so I assume you think they should have some input in how their money gets spent?

Obviously some input.

They can sponsor candidates if they want and set up or take part in local chambers of commerce to interact with council.

But businesses shouldn't get to vote. That effectively gives business owners more than one vote.

Also. They aren't human. They don't have human rights or an independent (allegedly) adult consciousness that we require before someone can cast a vote on who governs us citizens on our behalf.

The humans associated with those businesses already vote in their own local polling places. Or wherever and however they vote. Postally, up the country in an uncrowned country pre school. Etc etc.

Allowing businesses to vote implies that only businesses needs have value. Unless you're gonna give sporting groups, charities, environmental organisations, schools and whatever other non human "entities" exist in an electorate a vote as well.

That's obviously a recipe for all sorts of stupidity and for various undemocratic practises.

What's to stop me registering 13 business in every electorate that allows businesses to vote just so I can attempt to influence an election?

Etc etc.

It's a ridiculous idea.
 
Instead of Australia Day we could have Treason Day, I could really celebrate that. Just make sure it's during summer and on a Monday
Hang a lefty by his feet from the nearest Shell

You think 13 votes matters very often? Would be pretty expensive.

Far better to bribe.
 
No, statement of fact, no matter what your mickey mouse website states in its virtue signalling endeavours.

Its rather sad to see the usual peanuts continually trying to rewrite history. Actually not sad just pathetic.

Mickey Mouse website... the official Australia Day Council website.

You need to deal with the fact that the clock ticks, times change, and things change with it.

Your attitude is typical of the modern “conservative”... who actually isn’t conservative, they’re thoroughly regressive. They want everything as it was 20, 30, 40, 50 years ago.

Anything that doesn’t represent things as they were a generation ago? “Virtue signalling!”

Times change. Australia Day doesn’t represent, nor does it purport to represent, “the arrival of civilisation” as you so stupidly put it. It’s a day for all Australians, which makes Jan 26 inappropriate.

oh oh OFFICIAL. Wow. Appeal to authority failure.

Of course it does. That civilisation arrived that day is a FACT. One that can not be denied. If it doesnt represent that then why is it held on that day?

If it was held on a day not linked to the coming of civilisation you may have an argument. However its not so you dont.

Why you believe such a basic fact to be stupid is rather beyond me.

I mean the first fleet arrived in Botany Bay on the 18th to 20th of January 1788 but found it to be s**t so arrived in Port Jackson on the 26th. Captain Cook also first discovered the east coast on the 19th of April 1770. So really the 26th is a bit of an arbitrary date.

Post 'em up or shut the fu** up
Les Malone gets his 'facts' from areas he knows he can't admit to.
If he shares the links he got the info from, it would out him as the bigot he is.
He did the same with his previous accounts.

If you want to know where he gets his info... think about where you'd find Neil Erikson...
 
I've no issue with Israeld old bean. No dog in the fight there.

Really not in to socialism whether its international or the national sort.
And yet you've tried to wedge it into a discussion about a different issue.

You got a stack of solid talking points 6 years ago, and you've not updated. So you need to try and drag every discussion back to one of your usual tropes.
 
And the nation of Australia didn't exist after it, which is what the day purports to mark.
Yep - it's not an Australian Date anyway so it's a weird thing to celebrate.

Speaking of the half-man.....

 
NSWCROW

You look shocked.

You might remember who was found beneath the Bolte Bridge in December 2018, in the wake of all that channel 7 racist bullshit. Although if you were in NSW you would have missed the actual television stuff that led up to it.
