ALP national conference has begun and day 2 looks a ripper. Gee I’d be happy if they dumped aukus.

Looks an absolute hoot, Rymember.

Ban the orcas? Jeez who we gonna call if strife comes...China Panda? Oh hang on...

[Jacks Fur Coat]

No, you can’t have a say in our rule book despite your claim that you’ve inhabited this land for a bloody long time! It’s our land now and we make the rules.

Soz, not soz

By using the word "our" instead of "ours" you immediately impose/invent segregation. We are already one, not a divided entity....any rule book is for all, and all are represented by the systems of government as we speak. That's just a fact.

You gotta move into 2023 big fella, it's not 1788 anymore.

Can't see Aukus being debated Count for reasons well set out in this piece by a former academic and ALP rank and file member. Another situation where the Sheeple are mushrooms - kept in the dark and fed on bullshit.

The ALP is terrified of the Murdoch media. As I say, 60% don't trust it but 40% do.

The problem is that the US creates the strife. Malcolm Fraser said words to the effect of Australia only has a security because of the connection to the US - that's that loopy radical Mal Fraser.

We could live in splendid isolation down here, we're not even a blip on the international radar. The World would know more about Greenland than they would about Oz but there is this militaristic streak, purposely fed by Anzacery, that endures, a right wing scare mongering security establishment which is in thrall to the US (Not for nothing did Keating call them "ning nongs") and a warmongering near monopoly right wing MSM controlled by an American citizen.

Yes I know...in response I"m highlighting how silly it is to put that spin on it.

Can you tell me why thats a good thing to do

[King Salvo]

Oh no I thought this was a Menadue's Malarkey Free Thread.

Never Mind

Now for something historic from the World Sport Vault

A Brilliant Pitching Display by Tom Glavine in the Braves 1-0 win to clinch the best of 7 games series - 4 games to 2 - Game 6 of the 1995 World Series - Atlanta Braves vs Cleveland Indians ( Now Guardians)

8 Innings - 1 Hit / 0 Runs / 0 ERA / 3 BB / 8 SO's

You even see Atlanta Braves owner Ted Turner and Jane Fonda his Wife at the Time

David Justice's Right Field Home Run in the Bottom of the 6th - Only score of the game

You’re right King, chop chop!

Atlanta is somewhat the African - American capital of the USA that we seem so enamoured with. It’s important for you to highlight this to us mere Aussies as a way forward of bringing harmony to all by empowering the vilified.

Did you not read the thread at #288?

Here is a more detailed critique by academics in an open letter. It's good to know what we're bargaining for.

For starters, the country would save $368b for long range thubs that we don’t really have a use for. But coincidentally the mob we are buying them from do have a use for and they would like us to operate them for them. Subcontractor submariners if you like.

I’m not sure about you but I could sure find better things to spend that dosh on. Maybe things that would ease the cost of living ultimately enhance Australians life.

How bout this quote about the US and their increasing reach into Australian lives?

But friends, challenges to sovereignty are not limited to full-scale invasion. Closer to home, we see encroachments on the ability of countries to make their own decisions. Encroachments, including unsustainable lending and coercive trade measures, political interference and disinformation, encroachments on the ability of countries to contribute to a regional balance.

If any one country believes they can dominate another, the risk of conflict increases and we must ensure that no state ever concludes that the benefits of conflict outweigh the risks.

Finally, she gets it.

Financially agree 100% but security wise we need the yanks .We need the Poms and we need NATO on our side .We are a mino and even like Sweden it's time to pick a side

Security from what? If we stay out of the messes that the US create to control the world, we’re sweet.

You wanna pick a side? How bout when you were on team JFC and also team rwb? I’m pretty sure you’ve moved on from those affiliations. Sometimes it’s best to roll solo

Looks an absolute hoot, Rymember.

Look here jacket, there’s nothing more irritating than a former addict/believer espousing the virtues of what they were once consumed by and not acknowledging their past affiliations.

Y’feel me?
