WOW,
"Major retailers drop Australia Day merchandise range"

Just My Opinion, hope they get smash at the checkout for it.
Another eg of culture cancelling from the left.
We have councils also not celebrating Australia Day.

I'll be camped on a river bank, flying both my Australia Flag

& My MySwag Flag.

Agree. I wonder if Woolies Aussie day sales are down because of what they charge for everyday staples.These people that want to change Australia Day should be sent to Norfolk Island. Still be Australia Day so what’s it matter

How stressed would you be if you were building right now. Also the staff losing out big time.

Hmm, It's tough out there.
Costs are rising, jobs quoted on 6 months ago(or longer) waiting for council approvals only adds to this.
Supply chain of product is unpredictable.
And we have a PM promising to build X amount of housing.
I am sorry to bring politics to the table.
Government has no idea what they are promising, It's private businesses that are folding and good people are hurting.

something has to change... hopefully they will deport the pieces of Shit after they give him a few weeks jail. All that for a 20 minute joy ride...

Police arrested a 16-year-old boy at a unit complex in Bellbird Park on Monday. He was charged with murder, the unlawful use of a motor vehicle and stealing.

It has now emerged that the teen was charged with three armed robbery offences last year, and was on bail when he allegedly killed Vyleen.

"Something has to change"
It sure does, because what we have atm isn't working.
A good mate works as a court guard, Brisbane.
The stories he tells me, well it is beyond belief what is happening.
The 'Poor Me' stories these kids give the courts, and they are believed.
The police are frustrated, the victims are left without justice, and these kids keep committing horrendous crimes.
Life means nothing to them.

5 strokes with rattan across a bare arse would probably stop a 2nd offence

Send them back to Somalia for the local authorities to deal with. They are probably ready for a new career in some warlords militia.

One of Australia’s oldest and largest tyre retailers looks set to close after an attempt to sell the business to a rival fell through.

Beaurepaires, a tyre retailer, fitter and repairer with 100 outlets across Australia, was founded in 1922 – more than 100 years ago – in Melbourne by Sir Frank Beaurepaire.

Just reading https://www.ssaa.org.au/?ss_news=government-decision-on-duck-hunting-provides-certainty-and-enables-reform-ssaa-vic, which mentions "Hunters will face mandatory Aboriginal cultural awareness training", undoubtedly at a cost of $$$

No idea what that really is, but how soon will it be that 4wd'ers / people who camp in the bush will have to do the same

Hairs · « **Reply #22 on:** February 17, 2024, 01:40:03 PM »

Fizzie,
I don't like where this is all heading.

Three years ago, I attended a North Coast 4wd meeting hosted by the NSW 4wd Association, there was an Aboriginal chap who spoke of the need to inform local mobs of when and where we travel, incase there is something of cultural meaning in that area.
I explained that we have 3 mobs on the Clarence Valley, and none of them will stand in the same room.
He told me that was my problem and I needed to work it out.

The RFS is now undertaking Cultural Burning programs. Being taught how to burn country as they did.

Am sorry, I just don't get it.

I heard this morning that it has been let out on bail, but I am yet to read any news story about it, so it is only rumour at this point until confirmed
