I was perplexed at why The Village People would support such an anti-LGBT+ outfit. Then I read this;
By the way, Victor Willis played the 'cop' role in the band.
As far as social harmony goes, all us lefties want is a world where everyone is respected regardless. Your skin colour is not an issue. Your beliefs, providing they are not detrimental to others, are not an issue. Your perception of sex and gender are not an issue. How you dress and what music...
I can overlook that in the Grand Final (Jezza cracking open a tinny in 2022 is now part of Grand Final folklore in my book) but yeah, home & away season theatrics are a bit much.
Sadly it's often the lot of the rank-and-file Party members to look on in disillusionment at the factional infighting and the power-broking and the subsequent strange direction the winning faction might steer the Party toward.
Australia had it in spades from both major parties...
F*ck me backwards! Tom is VERY lucky he didn't cause a death or two there. Taking his eyes off the road while reaching back into his bag while still driving? That's just pure stupidity.
Interesting enough, the Google street view dated October 2023 still has fragments of blue car wreckage still...
I wouldn't venture down that path, myself. Australia's been a willing cohort in more than a few examples of belligerent U.S foreign policy decisions but to view Ash Wednesday (1983, South Australia, Victoria) Black Saturday (2009, Victoria) or Black Summer (2019-20, Victoria, New South Wales...
Yeah, it's probably erroneous to compare them side-by-side. Different players in different positions. Same could be said for just about anyone, in fairness. Gazza Snr and Jnr played very different roles, Jnr a midfielder and Snr the spearhead, though both could fulfill multiple roles on any...
That's the technique though, isn't it?
1 Move in to fire at the mainstream of targets
2 Fire off in short bursts and then fly away
3 Roll over and spin round all issues to get back behind them
4 Keep to the blind sides while firing again
Can't shoot back with all the spinning and the rolling...
Overuse could be a thing, which is why I reckon it should be fused with the national anthem. Singing the national anthem is only appropriate at certain events like footy finals - why not have the WTC as a preamble to reflect the merging of our pre and post-european settlement histories?
Fair enough. If you'd stand for the anthem you'd stand for the welcome to country. To disrespect either one would be a wee bit unpatriotic wouldn't it? A tad un-Australian?
Just rewatching the WTC before the 2022 Geelong v Sydney Grand Final and nobody was asked to stand, but were invited to "rise if you're able, remove your caps and join with Katie Noonan for the national anthem."
Interestingly the qualifying final (Geelong vs Collingwood) and prelim (Geelong vs...
I've always thought that Welcome to Country should be officially joined/fused with the National Anthem. Wherever it's appropriate for the anthem to be sung, open for it with the WTC.
That would make it practically unassailable to the bigots.

Yeah, the steal was a bit of grift by Little Johnny. Reprehensible shit to be sure and something that he should be criminally liable for, but personally I doubt that the Aussie troops going in knew that the Timor Gap resources were the TRUE objective.
A perfect cover? Maybe, but the orders...
