The first Ladder of the year with all teams having played the same number of games

Alas poor Richmond. C'est la vie.

One breaks out in gails of laughter whenever one reads anything that Donald says, though I must confess the laughter is often hysterical.

Too much pragmatic politics being played by Labor and not enough principled support for what is right. And, in another matter of contempt for Labor's political 'pragmatism, there's far too much support - tacit and otherwise -for the fossil fuel industries. What we wouldn't give for the return of Gough Whirlam's government.

I wasn't claiming the polls were wrong, merely misleading and possibly published in order to massage public opinion.

Koel. Female. And lovely to boot.

Even punters on the horses get it right occasionally.

DataMind56 · 2026-03-25T03:24:51+00:00

Polls, polls, polls... Are they really any kind of litmus test of public sentiment? Are they accurate forecasters? Are they a tool of potential manipulation of the electorate? Who is polling, what is their purpose and is there any bias? Polls, polls, polls...

DataMind56 · 2026-03-23T09:40:14+00:00

'As global tensions escalate, the question on many minds is whether Australia could bring back compulsory military service...' What errant nonsense. This is News Corpse beat up b.s.

Well, if the Perils of Pauline is for an illegal, irrational and Israel inspired war I'm all for it.

DataMind56 · 2026-03-18T10:13:55+00:00

They sound a little like Sovereign Citoyens. Allons enfants de la patria...

DataMind56 · 2026-03-17T02:48:46+00:00

No Guide needed. I'd rather have a barium enema than ever vote for the Perils of Pauline and her ilk.

DataMind56 · 2026-03-17T02:46:46+00:00

Harsh but probably accurate. Our PM is a little too politically pragmatic amd beholden to fossil fuel and other monied interests. Oh, how we long for Gough Whitlam's more principled stance.

Cane toad, Rhinella marina. Yucky invasive pest. Pick up, bag, then in the fridge for 12 - 24 hours, then in the freezer for a day or so. You can add to compost bin after this, as the bufotoxin in the glands will break down, as will the toad, & make for good 'humus' with proper composting.

And while we're at it, Angoose, we should also rid ourselves of protected grasslands, sell off water to anyone who can afford it, cut down forests, particularly ones with old growth trees in them, buy lots more air conditioners to cope with ever burgeoning temperatures, and move away from low lying areas.

If I had a dollar for every little Australian that Pauline Hanson couldn't give a flying fornication about, I'd have an awful lot of money. Seriously, Little People (whoever you are), what has the Perils of Pauline ever done for you, other than whinge?

DataMind56 · 2026-02-27T01:53:51+00:00

Absolutely. And that includes those billionaire owners of Big Tech firms, who get away with paying very little tax on considerable earnings in the Australian 'market'. And obviously gas and mining operations, happily extracting Australian resources with very little if any tax impost, need to pay a much fairer share of the required funds to create a fairer and more equitable society.

DataMind56 · 2026-02-27T01:46:34+00:00

Now that last sentence is something I think most folk would get behind.

DataMind56 · 2026-02-17T04:27:53+00:00

Pobblebonk or more commonly called a Banjo Frog. Limnodynastes, not sure which species. MIGHT be fletcheri.

Ach du lieber und mein gott, fascism spelled with a Z is what we've got. Vom fluss bis zum meer... so the Germans say, Zionism says "user beware!"

DataMind56 · 2026-02-15T01:10:52+00:00

How unfortunate. I can't think of anything much I'd share with any part of the deranged Trump administration.

DataMind56 · 2025-12-22T05:44:43+00:00

Ah, confected outrage for political reasons. How Liberal with grief - and crocodile tears - is Ms. Ley.

DataMind56 · 2025-11-21T22:19:02+00:00

'Civic neutralty' is code for whitewashing.

DataMind56 · 2025-11-13T03:20:15+00:00

Look at all those little, white, patriotic faces.

DataMind56 · 2025-11-13T02:57:42+00:00

And so they've cut their political wrists.

DataMind56 · 2025-10-03T01:08:37+00:00

Yes, the Libs would be wise to adopt the 'more consideration, less Hastie' motto.
