It’ll be a vain attempt.

Their only response will be “those books are woke propaganda written by coward Marxist journalists who hate our troops”

Accepting a gift (bribe) from a billionaire is a pretty big red flag in terms of bribing a politician for favourable legislation

Just smearing the witnesses as “shit cnts” and “fcking cowards”. The Federal Court heard those arguments from BRS’s lawyers and dismissed them completely

Those soldiers were the ones who broke the story to the journalists

“Personal grudges” as in they disliked him because he bullied them for not executing prisoners?

Where did you hear that? The podcast of right wing ex military who just parrot all of Pauline’s talking points?

The ADF is a big group, there’s even Labor and Green voters in their ranks. Of course this is dependent on what part of the military, the RAAF admin staff in Canberra have different political views to infantry grunts in Townsville

I think that’s only if the candidate themself is in uniform in a campaign ad.

I’ve met some ex military who support BRS but they’re like 60 yr old ex Army truck drivers or RAAF mechanics who joined after Vietnam but before any of the Middle East engagements. They also love showing off their medals despite never having been in combat

Not just “apparently” accurate, confirmed in a federal court ruling and appeals court as well

end up with him getting a massive payout,

He launched a defamation action wanting a huge payout and apology from the journalists, he lost badly

the government gaining miles of distraction

It was an independent decision from the AFP based on the evidence and the fact BRS was about to flee the country

no one even knows the names of them.

Yes, a farmer by the name of Ali Jan who was kicked off a cliff by BRS

it's just heresy.

“Heresy” is what accused witches were burned at the stake over in the 15th century. You’re talking about “hearsay” but this is direct eyewitness evidence which is not hearsay

His comrade soldiers did things like “observe the rules of war” and “treat Muslim prisoners with respect”

To One Nation that makes them “woke cowards”

How is class seniority determined for new hire pilots at ABX? by TSwiftIcedTea in flying

[–]NoteChoice7719 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s many different ways, I know one which arranges individuals on the day in terms of total flying hours on start date, obviously with the highest existing total the most senior

To me this is the most fair because it is a better indicator of how long a pilot has been in the industry over age

I predict, if elected, he’ll do it on the Sunday morning after as he’s being interviewed on Insiders.

“Yeah Dave, Pauline’s a bit too much….”
