The figure of speech - get out of jail free card:





'For heaven's sake, this is a metaphor. It is a figure of speech.'

Faruqi said the phrase was an allegory meaning to pursue liberation from oppression.

'Maybe some of you have heard the Talking Heads song 'Burning Down the House', which is about liberation. But no. Instead, you've twisted and distorted her words for your own political theatre,' Faruqi said.

When other senators began voicing their disapproval, Faruqi - who is of Pakistani heritage - claimed she and Thorpe were victims of racial discrimination.

'This is how you treat people of colour,' she said.

'So I'm not surprised you're ranting back at me.'

WOW. A Greens senator sprouting racist gibberish and threatening to burn down parliament house. Next she'll be growing a little moustache.

The bipartisan embrace of multiculturalism has given mass immigration an inbuilt political momentum, producing a political perpetual motion machine powered by 185,000 foreigners, overwhelmingly from non-Western cultures, who permanently settle in our country every year whilst ‘temporary’ migrants (almost 300,000 ‘temporary’ students amongst them) also flock to Hotel Australia each year.

We all notice the problems this creates (job-theft, housing access and affordability, transport, ethnic ghettoisation, imported tribal/religious enmity, criminal-gang vibrancy, etc.) but, the odd brave senator apart, our politicians avert their eyes.  So, whilst the latest in a line of polls stretching out to the crack of doom found that 58% of us support a cut to immigration, compared to just 15% who don’t, the pro-immigration political cartel takes no notice. Even 35% of Greens voters want less immigration.

We can’t really expect the woke left, Labor/Greens/Teals to end their affair with multiculturalism and mass immigration but there is an open goal right in front of the Coalition should they have the wit to take it.  Their aversion to ‘populism’, however, and their desire for ‘respectability’ with the multi-culti establishment, plus their addiction to hopes of claiming a big slice of the ethnic vote, has seen them trade principled political policy for crude electoral calculus.

I still don't understand Privatised Electricity.

So private companies brought our electricity. The government at the time took the quick $$ and built stadiums for the Olympics. The overseas companies then charge us a premium for the electricity.
They then fail to invest in the necessary need to maintain the power plants they own.
We the TAXPAYER are now up for billions to replace the infrastructure.

Then private companies then take control of the new plants for free and continue generating profits for overseas owners?

Is that how Privatisation works?

Is this the actual business model of privatised electricity?

It's all about Govt mismanagement.
A new coal fired power station should have been built in every State
and used as a resource when renewables fail and risk blackouts or brownouts.
They could have used low emission anthracite coal from the QLD Bowen Basin.
The Govt. could own them - not for sale -
owned by - we the people - for our energy security
and part of our national security in what should be a 1st world country.

Coal is the next most expensive energy technology after nuclear. It gets even more expensive if you only use it intermittently. That is part of the reason our existing coal fired stations are struggling with maintenance issues - they were not designed to be ramped up and down as much as they are now.

So what is your solution for blackouts or brownouts?   

Bobby. wrote on Oct 30^th, 2025 at 6:11pm:



Why do we have to worry about blackouts and burnouts?

It’s not ( any longer ) a public service it’s a private for profit  industry.

If the private company cannot provide the service then they should lose the right to provide the service and the government can sell it off again to a new private company that believes they can.

This whole corporate welfare system in Australia is simply bizarre.

Why not just keep the power plants in public ownership and just give these overseas companies money?


It might work out cheaper for the taxpayers?

The entire industrial revolution of the 17-18th centuries was built on coal and the 19-20th centurs on coal, oil and gas.

They had wind, wood and hydro before already, for transport, industry, heat, lightingh but they decided, morons, as they all were pre-Greta, to go for something much, much more expensive, right?? They were all morons, they knew nuffin' except how to develop exponentially.

Well if the sun is blocked by thick clouds for many days in a dark winter,
solar panels won't produce much power,
and there's no wind for wind turbines, no water stored in a hydro reservoir,
or an important transmission line is down,
large battery storage only lasts a few hours,
then we could be without power.
What will we do?
Most hospitals and places like airports have diesel generators
that can go as long as diesel is supplied.
Did you know that petrol stations can't pump diesel or petrol
without electricity?

A low emission coal power plant could save the power grid.

On February 14, 2024,

Melbourne faced a major power crisis that left 620,000 homes and businesses without power, as reported by ABC News. Of these outages, 530,000 resulted from downed powerlines, while an additional 90,000 were due to load shedding, a preventative step to avoid system collapse.
This event left over 1.5 million Victorians without electricity on a sweltering day.

The chaos began as extreme weather conditions swept across the state. High temperatures, fierce winds, and thunderstorms converged, creating a perfect storm of destruction. Powerlines and poles were knocked down, leaving widespread damage. By mid-afternoon, more than half a million customers—mostly with Ausnet and United Energy—were affected, grappling with the sudden and overwhelming blackout.

Thu 15 Feb 2024

When six towers toppled in Geelong's northern suburb of Anakie on Tuesday this week,
more than half a million Victorians were cut off from power.

They formed a crucial part of the more than 65,000 kilometres of high-voltage transmission lines slicing their way across Victoria, connecting electricity generators like coal-fired power stations and wind farms to substations dotted across the state.


The collapse of the six towers north of Geelong was a result of a thunderstorm system passing over the region, producing wind gusts of up to 122kmph.

Nur, a Somali national who arrived in the UK illegally in October 2024 by small boat, had his asylum application rejected in January this year. Five months later, on 6 May, he walked into a branch of Lloyds bank in Derby, in the East Midlands. Johal, a complete stranger to Nur, happened to be waiting in a queue inside the bank. Nur pulled a knife from his trousers and forcefully stabbed Johal in the chest.

Nur was in and out of the bank in just 22 seconds. And just like that he had devastated the lives of Johal’s wife, his two children and his wider family and friends. The CCTV footage of the murder, replayed in court, drove several distressed family members from the room in tears. ‘Our lives didn’t just change’, read their impact statement. ‘They shattered… We are tormented by “what ifs.”’

Nur was sentenced not two days after a triple stabbing in Uxbridge. Wayne Broadhurst, a 49-year-old refuse-collector, was stabbed to death while walking his dog around the block. A 45-year-old man was left with life-changing injuries, while a 14-year-old boy was also attacked.

Like Nur, Broadhurst’s alleged murderer had also entered the UK illegally. An Afghan national, he had arrived on the back of a lorry in 2020 before being granted leave to remain in 2022.

Families across the country are being forced to pay the price for a spineless government only too happy to play Russian Roulette with the public. It’s not even as if those who do pose a threat do so unexpectedly. Nur had police records in the four different European countries he’d landed in before reaching the UK.

There has been much handwringing in the press lately over the progressive rewriting of Roald Dahl’s books, as though this were a bad thing. If I had my way, every copy of every book by every straight white male would be incinerated. Burning books that we don’t approve of is the only way to stop fascism.

Dahl’s books are compendiums of violence masquerading as “fiction”. For instance, he describes the character of Augustus Gloop as “fat”, which is extremely offensive to People of Girth.

...
Dahl has a history of offensive behaviour. In the first edition of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (1964), the Oompa-Loompas are black pygmies from “the very deepest and darkest part of the African jungle where no white man has been before”. Nearly a decade after the book’s publication, Dahl himself changed the novel so that the Oompa-Loompas were no longer black. He literally erased all the black characters — and we’re meant to believe that he wasn’t a racist?

Dahl has also been accused of antisemitism, which I absolutely can’t abide. I adore Jews. They’re so smart and cunning.

Ultimately, the problem isn’t Dahl — it’s the English language. I genuinely believe that writing or speaking English is an act of colonial terrorism.

So instead of simply tinkering with children’s literature, why not just stop teaching children how to speak in the first place? Dangerous language normalises hate and wrong opinions. To live in a truly free society, there must be limits on individual forms of verbal expression. So, if we never talk to children, or provide them with books, they will simply grow up without the capacity to express hateful ideas.

I can’t believe no one else has thought of this.

Anti-Israel activist Randa Abdel-Fattah has accused Australia of “white supremacy’’, as her employer warned it will alert police if any staff or students contravene new hate speech laws.

The provocative academic and author will speak at a rebel “free speech’’ writers festival in Adelaide next month and tour literary salons in Sydney, after her temporary axing from the Adelaide Writers Week program triggered a boycott from 180 authors, the dissolution of the festival’s board, the resignation of director Louise Adler, and ultimately the festival’s cancellation.

She has now announced she will take a break from social media, after lashing out at a front-page article in The Australian on Tuesday detailing her anti-Zionist diatribes on X and Instagram.


“I won’t dignify this hit piece with a response,’’ she posted on her Instagram account.

“I’m accused of being an extremist, the worst of the worst, an enabler of terrorism and Bondi, for daring to accuse Australia of white supremacy.

“This is the insecurity of colonisers and oppressors everywhere in the fact of the material evidence of white supremacy.

“They weaponize our righteous anger to claim that we are terrorists, anti-Semites, extremists, savages, or whatever the disparaging term of the day happens to work.’’




Fifty years of indiscriminate tinted immigration - still white supremacism!!

Officials in some of Britain’s most peaceful and picturesque areas, including the Cotswolds and the Chilterns, have signed up to the initiative, which is coordinated by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA), The Telegraph reported.

DEFRA reports from 2019 and 2022 resulted in Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty being renamed as National Landscapes, which they claimed would become “irrelevant” in Britain’s increasingly multicultural society as they were mainly enjoyed by White people.

“We are all paying for national landscapes through our taxes, and yet sometimes on our visits it has felt as if National Parks are an exclusive, mainly White, mainly middle‑class club,” the 2019 report stated.

“Many communities in modern Britain feel that these landscapes hold no relevance for them. The countryside is seen by both black, Asian and minority ethnic groups and White people as very much a ‘White’ environment. If that is true today, then the divide is only going to widen as society changes.”

The 2022 report, titled “Improving the ethnic diversity of visitors to England’s protected landscapes”, found that ethnic minorities believed the countryside was a “White space” and that facilities catered to “White English culture”.

“Protected landscapes were closely associated with ‘traditional’ pubs, which have limited food options and cater to people who have a drinking culture. Accordingly, Muslims from the Pakistani and Bangladeshi group said this contributed to a feeling of being unwelcome,” the report stated.

“Perceptions of protected landscapes as being for White people and middle-class people could be a powerful barrier for first-generation immigrants.”

As a result, a number of National Landscapes officials and local councils have made plans to address diversity, including in the Chilterns, which is proposing community outreach schemes to attract Muslims to the area from the nearby city of Luton, which is at least one-third Islamic.

The team also plans to use ethnic minorities and “community languages” in marketing material and recruit more non-White staff, and has commissioned research which suggested tougher rules for dogs because some non-White groups fear them.

The Cotswolds National Landscape management plan states it will aim to reach the “widest possible demographic”, while Dedham Vale has committed to identify and address “barriers facing under-represented and/or diverse groups which limit equal access”.

The Malvern Hills National Landscape said it was developing “strategies to reach people or communities with protected characteristics such as people without English as a first language”.

“Many minority peoples have no connection to nature in the UK because their parents and their grandparents did not feel safe enough to take them or had other survival preoccupations,” their proposal said.

“While most White English users value the solitude and contemplative activities which the countryside affords, the tendency for ethnic minority people is to prefer social company (family, friends, schools).”

Nidderdale National Landscape pledged to “develop more inclusive information to reflect more diverse cultural interpretation of the countryside”, and Cranborne Chase National Landscape promised to “reach people or communities with protected characteristics such as people without English as a first language”.



Because these 'diverse' multiculty people had NO IDEA just how English England was before they flooded in and demanded that it be turned into the shiteholistans they left behind.

Ditto in Australia, Europe, North America. The retards are taking over the world.
