Disgruntled passengers have spoken out about how “belligerent” The Veronicas were when they allegedly refused to put their bags in the overhead compartment on a flight this morning.

Another, who only wanted to be known as Greg, told The Courier Mail were “belligerent” and had a “I refuse to do what I’m told because I’m important” attitude.
“They’re not stars, they’re C-graders.

“They got marched out, and one of (the sisters) was filming the whole thing.”

The Veronicas were in Sydney to perform at motivational speaker Tony Robbins’ shows.
The Brisbane pair spoke on stage about how not to be driven by ego.


LMFAO

Who?

 

[Butters Made Me Do It]

ScumMo looks like the kind of guy who put a lot of people in head locks and gave them noogies in high school

I would’ve pegged him more as “bully’s assistant”

I don’t reckon he would have had the aggotts for that even.

He was a look out and a dobber I reckon.

Check out this stunning abode. Gotta love the real estate agent trying to talk it up. Needs a bulldozer.

As I said before, never. Almost everyone that exists will not willingly accept less than they already have and it will eventually come to a head.

What about the people who have nothing

Yeah I’m not watching that.

What about the people who have nothing

The average person has more and uses more than ever before. Cut that back and we can bring the people who have nothing up a bit.

Life must be confusing and frustrating for kids - for the first 2 years of their life they're constantly being told to stand-up and talk and for the next 16 years they're told to sit-down and shut-up. Go figure!

When it was announced that 9 network was buying Fairfax I thought this will **** up the investigative journo's at The Age and SMH and the AFR probably wont suffer because its profitable and has always been pro business.

But I admit I didn't see the takeover, improving the hell out of 60 minutes. Nick McKenzie of The Age's Baker and McKenzie fame, who have done big investigative pieces into those drug crims made famous in the Underbelly series, corrupt Vic cops, corrupt Vic politicians and in 2013 they joined the Essendon / Dank drugs saga and uncovered a whole lot of shit, that sports journos never would have and it won them a Walkely award to go with others they had won.

His story on Crown Casino and allowing Chinese crims launder money in their casinos in Oz and Macau a couple of months ago, was brilliant. 9 never would have done the story without Packer selling out of 9, and if 9 didn't take over Fairfax. It put the wind up department of immigration and the department of home affairs.

Tonight as I type I'm watching his story on the SAS war crimes in Afghanistan and accusations that Victoria Cross recipient Ben Roberts-Smith killed an innocent man. The AFP have investigated this for years, I think, the ADF have done investigations, and a special defence Inspector General and ex judge has done/ is doing an investigation.

Basically its multiple investigations into war crimes in Afghanistan over the 18 years we have been there. 2 current serving SAS soldiers are speaking out.

Mckenzie quotes from investigators documents, and a couple of ex soldiers admissions. He interviews current MP Andrew Hastie who is an ex SAS captain and is chair of the Parliamentary Joint Committee on Intelligence and Security. He has broken down over a stuff up where calling in US aircraft to bomb a target stuffed up the co-ordinates and 2 young boys were killed. He went an apologised to the boys uncle, after asking permission to talk to him.

Fairfax has been sued by Ben Roberts-Smith and others and The Australian have backed him in their reporting. I have read some of the stories in both News Ltd and Fairfax papers over the last couple of years. Stokes has backed Roberts-Smith publicly and financially and I suspect so has his media outlets.

ABC and 4 Corners investigative journo of great repute, Chris Masters has worked on this for several years and has backed up McKenzie investigation over the last couple of years. Masters wrote a book about the SAS in Afghanistan last year - No Front Line, Australian Special Forces at war in Afghanistan. He spent up to 10 years looking at the war and talking to those who served and the effect of the war on them. He basically gives voice to the soldiers, who because of SAS rules don't talk when they are serving and rarely do when they quit the ADF.

Several ex soldiers in McKenzie's story talk about how they want the truth to come out so that it stops eating away at them.

McKenzie's 2 stories are probably the best 2 stories I've ever seen on 60 minutes, and if not the best, up there with the great reporting the did in their first 5 years or so from when it debuted in 1978, before 60 minutes became more interested in developing personality reporters, ratings, making money for the Packers and being entertainment TV as much as quality journalism TV.

Serendipity sometimes does happen - re 60 minutes - not Afghanistan.

- 40% of Australian beef is feedlot, 80% of beef in Aus supermarkets is feedlot. Swapping for cropping doesnt look so huge with that in mind re feeding Australians. As for a very popular meat like chicken, thats pretty much all crop feed isnt it?

Except we aren't just feeding Australians with our meat. We export approximately 70% of what we produce. We help feed those parts of the world that don't have the ability to produce for themselves because, in part, of population encroachment on their arable lands. Chicken is a crop feeder but is a very small part of our meat produce.

Things like this being ‘too expensive’ track against current cheap agricultural product. Climate change will make all such tech more ‘affordable’. It seems likely that the proportional value of agricultural product vs other product (tech, service, etc) increases.

I disagree. I'm happy to be persuaded otherwise if provided with something to back this up.

We export ~71% of our beef (as part of the 65% of total farm production we export). Australia is in a fantastic position to control its own agricultural outputs and raise demand/raise prices to the point that alternate technologies are deployed to support what food is made available internationally.

That is not how the market works. Agricultural producers are price takers not price setters. Unless you want to go full socialist and nationalise the agricultural industry. That hasn't worked well for any country in history that has gone down that line. They end up producing less food.

This isn’t a technical impossibility, its just not economically feasible in current market conditions. Change the market.

In other words make food more expensive which brings us full circle to the expendable starving Africans.

Thats one option bu it looks by far to be the stupidest one. We can let grazing land regenerate by killing beef exports and actually do a good thing for our environment.

But you won't be letting it "regenerate". You'll be clearing the vegetation, ploughing up the soil and planting mung beans to replace the lost protein supply.

Its replaced by other protein sources from the significant volume of reclaimed crop land that goes to animal feed, and technological solutions driven by continued research and improving the relative value if agriculture outputs via cultural change and the unavoidable impacts of climate change.

The "significant volume of reclaimed crop land that goes to crop feed" is not significant. Crop stock feed is an opportunity crop. It only exists because the quality is deemed too poor to sell for human consumption. When the crops fail the feedlots basically buy what noone else wants. So whether you get rid of cattle or not that harvest makes no difference to overall food quantity. If you want to replace cattle you need to clear more land. That's a fact Jack.

And maybe we can replace that high irrigation cotton too. Fresh water is going to be more valuable in achieving food solutions.

You get no argument with me on that.

A guy who was awarded the Victoria Cross for drawing enemy fire, killing an enemy granadier and storming an installation and killing two machine gunners needs to get involved in the death of an unarmed civilian?

Sounds suspicious to me. It might be envy and jealousy that is eating these guys up.

Watch the program. An SAS regiment flew into a small village chasing an Afghan army Sargent who turned from ally to enemy and point blank shot 3 diggers who he had been working with for year or so. The killer had been on the run for 2 weeks, and a tip off came in that he was in that village, but he wasn't there. They were hyped up for revenge and ****ed up by the sounds of things.

Oh, I’ve read all their articles. Calling Roberts-Smith “Leonidas” - and therefore implying he was the one who kicked this guy down the cliff - was a nice touch.

I’ve also read the court documents where Roberts-Smith is suing the Age. To say he’s pissed is a massive understatement. You’ll find that 9 has released this story in retaliation for him taking the Age to court - if they are going down, they are going down swinging.

If there's one thing that would have my support, it would be ecological terrorism involving the destruction of those big fu** off dams that those companies use for water.
