Banter TRTT Part 13: 2021 Goodbye (To 2022)

I'd draw the line, of if she held those views herself, but she doesn't so I'd take her money. For me it's 'Does the positive outweigh the negative?'. If she offered us a $15 million sponsorship, I'm sure some of that would end up supporting our Indigenous programs and doing a lot of good.

What if she offered us the 15 mill but with the caveat we had to have Hitler's name on our jumper?

Tell ya what the old Beds are Burning house looks a bit different these days! Looks more like something out of Heartbeat with the green rolling hills, and Greengrass running some sort of questionable ventures.

Yes, because obviously wanting the name of someone who did actually cause the deaths of millions is the same as not wanting to publicly refute your parent.

Congratulations. What did you have? Sorry if you've already said, I may have missed it.

When your parent says something batshit evil, it shouldn't be some sort of complex challenge to just say my dad was full of crap on this one.

Not a good analogy. And I see we've finally invoked Godwin's law. Excellent.

IMHO a more relevant hypothetical would be if Hitler had a daughter who took over the VAG car manufacturer and called it Hitler Autoworks , becoming a multi billionaire in the process (she would not of course be using the Hitler name herself - maybe using the name Schultz instead). And

And what say Ms Schultz, who has donated millions from her wealth to jewish underprivileged kids across the world, wanted to sponsor a struggling soccer team with a few Jewish players? Do you reckon those players would be happy with the name of her monstrous genocidal father on their uniform? Do you think they would be reasonable in asking Ms Shultz to publicly condemn the views and statements of her dad Adolf in terms of wiping out non Aryans? Would you expect Ms Schultz to think - yeah that would be a good thing to do if she really was concerned for the health and wellbeing of the jewish community and holocaust survivors?

And maybe the views of those jewish players (like the Indigenous Australian netball player) are far more relevant that the views of everyone else in the team, including supporters, when it comes to the use of an offensive name of someone who advocated the genocide of her ancestors and race.?

Not expecting an answer as it is just a made up hypothetical. But I reckon the issues are the same.

Max Mosely was President of the FIA for 20 years.

“You can’t say anything good about the Holocaust anymore? Or Rwanda? Or Myanmar?” apparently furious that people are condemning comments about destroying entire races.

“This is the slippery slope we tried to warn you all about.”

“And our descent into a PC dystopia is now inevitable.”

“All of your kids are being brainwashed into being trans by schools. You can’t be white anymore. And lord forgive you respect our hisotrical figures.”

“This is what people wanted, and now they’ve got it,” he finished, seemingly comparing a sporting negotiation to the end of days.

“I hope you are happy.”

Doing a bit of a Robbie Coltrane retrospective in honour of his passing (how ****ing good was Cracker, holy shit. Also how did my parents let me watch it when I was only 9 years old, lol).

Anyway, who knew the title song for Goldeneye was written by Bono & The Edge?

Fun Port Board factoid: local legend raman hails from the Burra Burra. My parents still live there and we are still waiting for the Oils’ farewell concert to be performed in that paddock.

My little sister had a boyfriend named Gary. He’d be about 35 now but it was weird as hell when he was 20.

I went to school with a couple of Gary's. Don't think it dropped out of fashion until mid-late 90s
