Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
The QLD coat of arms is a crock of shit, an antiquated, unrepresentative, sexist symbol of something this great State is not and doesn’t want to be, a paean to the days when we were a colony of England rather a free state of the great democratic nation of Australia. Do you even know our […]
Spot the Aussie Noun: A hypothetical game played by White Australians. This comment is used within the white australians themselves, where they are at a function or location where there is a lack of white australians. i.e. they think there is far too many asian, arabs or africans etc at the function, even though they are in Australia.

How does this work? Pauline says that we are one nation, and that she is opposed entirely to people coming to our country and ignoring our values, our language, our traditions, our dress, and the fact that we are predominantly a Judeo-Christian society. Well excuse me for asking, but isn’t our language English? Isn’t England […]
Pauline Hanson can’t count. Yesterday she told us that 51.5% of Australians were either themselves were born overseas, or had one parent born their. Then she asked if that was what Australia wants. Wouldn’t you think that if the majority of the country’s people had the overseas links that they would? It’s simple common sense. […]
I like Noel Callow, quite a lot. He is rogue for sure, and – at least in the past – clearly a racist. Or so it seems anyway, based on the evidence of his video recordings. Usually that would turn me off a bloke completely, for I have a brown brother, wife and daughters, and […]

In a decision that surprised many observers, including this writer, the QLD Racing Appeals Panel has upheld the decision of the Stewards to impose a ten-month disqualification Noel “King’ Callow over what have become known as the ‘Darwin Tapes’ containing audio and images of the jockey making racist slurs against indigenous people in Darwin last […]
We’re here at the Racing Appeals Panel this morning for Noel Callow’s appeal against his 10 month disqualification on two charges of conduct detrimental to the interests of racing related to the incidents in Darwin last year that were recorded on video and later surfaced on social media, after it is rumored former jockey Group […]
Callow’s barrister Stirling kicks off by saying that there is no argument that racism is wrong and totally unacceptable, and that his client acknowledges and accepts this. His client accepts that he behaved foolishly, offensively and in a racist and gratuitous manner toward people he did not know on the street. Stirling says that Callow’s […]
I can assure you from my own knowledge and experience of Jim Murdoch KC that he is a thoroughly good and decent human being, but gee if he was of a different bent he would have made an outstanding interrogator for the Stasi. Slowly and methodically he is twisting Callow in knots and tearing him […]
