Do You Come from a Land Down Under?

“Physically they didn’t touch either of us but mentally we’re both, particularly Nerys is quite distraught because we’re asking ourselves all the what-if questions, what if this had happened, what if silly me I’m there roaring at them, what if they said ‘let’s go and kill the b******’ they could have killed me in a minute flat,” Mr Egan told Sky News. [More]

Yeah, what if they had and he didn’t have a self-defense permit?

What kind of mad control freak could even think something like that up?

Do You Come from a Land Down Under?

NDIS participants and sex workers feel ‘betrayed’ by sexual services funding ban now being in effect [More]

Sorry. My post title just kind of wrote itself.

Y’know, if you have a right to sex, that implies someone can be compelled to give it to you. I’m just envisioning some kind of Christian baker analogy where a provider can’t refuse services to someone whose proclivities they find objectionable.

And what if abled recipients choose to identify as disabled?

Do You Come from a Land Down Under?

Perth killer of mother and daughter would have had fewer guns under proposed laws [More]

I know we’re not supposed to ask this, but how many would you need?

And I wonder how WA’s police minister, Paul Papsmear, would react to: “This individual, sadly, was a fit and proper person, right up until the time he committed that act and he was a law-abiding police official right up until he wasn’t”… ?

Things You’d Expect a Totalitarian to Say

An Australian Senator has called for X owner Elon Musk to be jailed for life for refusing to adhere to the Australian government’s demands to remove a video of the brutal attack on a Christian Bishop in Sydney last week by an apparent Muslim extremist. [More]

Naturally, these are the same tyrants who demand a monopoly of violence unto themselves.

Do You Come from a Land Down Under?

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said the responding officer who took down Cauchi was “certainly a hero” whose actions had saved many more lives. The officer was identified as Inspector Amy Scott. [More]

And how many lives were lost because Amy was the “Only One” with a gun?

But wait! There’s more!

Bishop and worshippers attacked in another mass stabbing in Sydney

Who do these people think they are?

Communist China…?

‘Scheme’ is Right

The Western Australian government is set to introduce new gun laws, which could be the first of their kind in Australia. A limit for how many guns a licensee can own will be proposed, seeing the number of firearms capped at ten for competitive club shooters. Individual recreational gun users will only be allowed to own five. A voluntary buyback scheme is in the works for those impacted by the proposed changes. The proposed new laws will make Western Australia the first state in the country to impose a firearm cap. [Watch]

Leave it to “real reporters” to call mandates “voluntary” with a straight face.

Hey, are we actually obligated to defend this drunken suicide cult?

Bullet Points

The student at Connolly Primary School in the north of Perth came home with a printed activity dice which offered ways it claimed to cheer up dads when they were in a bad mood. One of the options was a bullet – with instructions to take “when all else fails”. [More]

I guess we can’t expect an Aussie grade school to know when our own universities don’t…

Any bets on what would have happened had a father sent that message to the school?

I’m Sorry, So Sorry, Please Accept My Apology

Children made to write apology letters in school to Aboriginal Australians ‘for taking their land’ [More]

It’s not like their convict forefathers had much say in the matter…

I guess generational rule by wardens is a tough conditioning to break.

Ladies and gentlemen, the music stylings of Miss Brenda Lee…
