    Our former PM once fucked a pigs head and that's just the news that they allowed to get out.

    I like The Flag. It's nice to see it here and there as a reminder that one is part of a society that is greater than oneself. However, why it would have to feature on the pages of a textual report I have absolutely no idea. The text could say 'Flags flags flags! Get 'em up everywhere! A union jack froth on every canteen rice pudding! Tattoos of the flag on every presenter's bicep!' but this guy wouldn't like it if there weren't coloured pictures of it on the report, seems to be the gist.

    Which brings me back to the point that explains basically all failings in modern life: people are too attached to pictures, and don't read enough.

    Like it. Nice low crotch to contain his massive Great British balls. Bit disappointed he hasn't got an NHS mention on there somewhere though.

    Can't be, that is the back of the flag isn't it and he's holding it the wrong way?

    The flag stuff is a bit weird either way, but everyone was quite happy for it to be on pants and biscuit tins for twenty years when it was slightly ironic and Team GB non-threatening, so I just put it down as another thing people have found to seethe about the current government over since it seems to be mainly remain ponces and Scottish people who type in their accents.

    Prime Minister of Australia.



    Earlier today I shared with Australians my profound regret and deep disappointment as I acknowledged the terrible mistreatment of women in this country over a long period, and specifically in relation to the disgraceful events that have occurred in our workplace at Parliament House. I meant what I said about having listened, and being committed to doing everything I can to make the changes we need to make to deal with these issues. I owe it to all women in this country, not least the women in my own life so precious to me. I owe it to them to do better.

    In the course of today’s media conference when responding to further questions I deeply regret my insensitive response to a question from a News Ltd journalist by making an anonymous reference to an incident at News Ltd that has been rejected by the company. I accept their account. I was wrong to raise it, the emotion of the moment is no excuse.

    I especially wish to apologise to the individual at the centre of the incident and others directly impacted. I had no right to raise this issue and especially without their permission.

    What matters now is doing everything in my authority to take the actions that are needed to fix the culture in our Parliament and work to make Australia a safer place for women.

    It is also of the utmost importance that I continue to focus on the needs of those facing our flood crisis, and continuing to lead our country out of the COVID-19 pandemic and global recession.

    We have achieved a lot together. None of us may be perfect. We all have our faults, but when we come together as Australians we always achieve great things and can confront any challenge.

    He has hidden behind his wife and daughters a few times as well.

    Parliment House sounds like massive piss up.

    Faaarrrk me! Early election is on the cards down here...


    Sky News host Peta Credlin has accused Liberal staffers of holding gay “orgies” at Parliament House claiming she was dubbed “a bitch” for trying to sack staff involved in the behaviour.
    Prime Minister Scott Morrison has accused the man who masturbated on desks of “shameful” behaviour and Finance Minister Simon Birmingham has urged them to “pack their bags”.

    Ms Credlin said the names of other Liberal staffers involved in the masturbatory acts at Parliament House were known to her.

    “The other three that Peter van Onselen broke in his story this week, I know who you are. I see you,” she said.

    “The former minister who is alleged to have male prostitutes delivered to Parliament House … the former minister? I see you too.

    Is Tony Abbott still working for you blokes? Id be lobbing some of these allegations his way.

    "Smokey."

    Also loving that there were still a few 'Khaleesi' and misspellings thereof knocking about, from people who presumably gave up before the end or somehow failed to understand the "setting thousands of people on fire" thing.

    I never understood why people liked her at literally any stage. Even the book character had nothing going for her, but add in the wooden acting and there's not a lot to love.

    No, neither the character or performance really had a redeeming feature.

    My daughter was telling us that she's been playing with Anne Boleyn at school alot recently and we had been wondering why a parent would do that to their child.

    Then there was a picture of them playing together put on Tapestry (it's an app which schools use to keep parents updated these days) and it turns out that she's actually called Amber-Lynn, which is somehow worse and I desperately want to know if they did it on purpose or are just too thick to realise.

    I thought the double-barrelled first names were questionable enough when looking down the list of Scottish ones and then saw a 'Tommylee' which is even worse.

    I recently went through them again as audiobooks (Roy Dotrice's accents are horseshit and ruin them) and I had forgotten how shit she was in the books.

    Deeper layers to that naming faux-pas as well, although probably best not to raise them in polite company.

    I have some perfectly normal friends who have a daughter called Isla. Then they had another and called her Skye. I mean, really? The mum's a jock and all.

    Honestly we should have a list of acceptable names and you can only pick from that. Some of these people are fucking their kids over from the very start. Crystal-Jordan or Diamond-Rose aren't going to become doctors or lawyers are they?

    You shouldn't be allowed to call your kids diminutives like 'Jack' or 'Harry', and the surname as a first name trend ('Lewis' has fine form as both) is a reasonably consistent way to identify the parents as mongs.
