Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
The video below is of the terrible fall in the 2nd race at Melton last night. The leader drifts off the fence slightly, and the driver of the horse on its back tries to slip up inside it. Without a head on replay we don’t know if there was a run there or not, but […]
I love Japan and I love Japanese people. Many of them are numbered among by best friends. But gee when they weren’t it was a close run thing. The Cairns, Mareeba, Gordonvale, Atherton and Innisfail races are where the X is, with Cooktown just up the road. That dotted line is where the Axis forces […]
No-one is right or wrong in the Gaza war. All we know as Australians is that if anyone tries to invade us and take our wide brown land, we will fucking rise up and kill them. Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda. Who will come a Waltzing Matilda with me? Everyone? The sad thing is that like […]
(In) Justice Cantor, the judge who let a wife killer off with a good behaviour bond, because she nagged him and drove him to do it. (with then PM Gough Whitlam and Governor-General John Kerr) It is scarcely believable that not all that long ago in Australia supposedly eminent judges would allow men to strangle […]
A well-known zoologist who sadistically tortured, sexually exploited and killed pet dogs before telling their former owners they were “settling in well” has pleaded guilty to 60 beastiality, animal cruelty, and possessing child exploitation material charges. Adam Robert Corden Britton’s name had previously been suppressed from the public due to the details of his crimes being […]
This kid died 9 days ago. Corrinne lee-Cheu was her name, a proud young woman of the Kuku Possum-K uku-Warra people, up here on the Tablelands near where I live. The kid killed herself. No-one in authority really believed her when she was suffering problems, and when a gang of kids beat her up in […]
What the hell does shooting sitting ducks have to do with workers rights? Is John Setka for real? How many construction workers actually spend their weekends wearing waders and crouching down in lakes and ponds waiting for Daffy to come along and quack so they can shoot their heads off? Not many, if any. It’s […]
There’s not much you can say about last night’s semi. Sam Kerr is a genius. Mary had an off night. Coach Gustavsson is very over-rated. His tactical substitutions don’t work, England’s last 2 goals were terribly soft. Our midfield went missing in action and were totally outplayed. I hate to say it, but the Poms […]
Unlike most Australians who think they do, I actually do know Kevin Rudd. I got him the union numbers in the old very misnamed Labor Unity faction in Queensland way back in the day, and I was standing right next to him when the call came from my former best mate now turned ALP big […]
I don’t always agree with my mate Peter Fitzsimons views, but on this one we are simpatico. If Sam Kerr is God, then Mary Fowler is Jesus. Bless them both, and all the Matilda’s too. What a great name for an Australian sporting team by the way. Perfect, just like our girls are. TFF has […]
