Well our ex right wing government tried to coverup after him the 1st time he was accused, but this time Bruce (who can't keep it in his pants) doesn't have that protection from higher up for the same sort of crime again as he fronts the court today. Lehrmann set to face Toowoomba court for rape committal hearing. Former parliamentary staffer Bruce Lehrmann is expected to front Toowoomba Magistrates Court for a committal hearing after he was charged with raping a woman twice in 2021.A Toowoomba woman who accuses Bruce Lehrmann of raping her in 2021 is expected to give evidence at a committal hearing set to take place in a few hours. Inside the Toowoomba court house on Monday, those assembled will hear for the first time from the woman who alleges Bruce Lehrmann raped her after they met at a local strip club.If there's a jury they're going to have to find hermits for it as there won't be many here that don't know about his sleazebag form by now. |

This moron was allowed to take the easy way out. :-( A notorious bank robber who terrorised a state over a 10-year crime spree has taken his own life through voluntary assisted dying. Considering those who still suffer from his actions he should've suffered until the real end IMHO. |

Both are too far white and conservative these days. Australian television is in the grips of chaos as top-rating Seven wages a “bloodbath” at its most senior levels, while its rival lurches from scandal to scandal. A “massacre” within the senior executive ranks of Channel 7 has shocked industry watchers, who say it’s a sign of just how serious the crisis is at the network – and in television broadly.Meanwhile the local ABC and SBS continue improve because of their diversity and locally produced content. |

Julian is finally back home. Julian Assange spoke to Anthony Albanese after arriving in Australia for the first time in 15 years, here’s what he said. Wikileaks founder Julian Assange told Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, “you saved my life”, when the two spoke for the first time. |

Since some years Trump insists to have German ancestry. At a G7 meeting in France he expressed to our chancelor "I have German in my blood" which triggered an audible guffaw from Merkel who had difficulty keeping a neutral expression on her face. Until a decade ago he lied he has Swedish ancestry. His grandfather Friedrich (later Frederick) Trump and his grandmother Elisabeth are from Kallstadt* (RP... Rhineland-Palatinate). Yes, his mother is Scottish. But the Scots don't seem to like him anymore. Because of his grandfather, he is eligible to immediate German citizenship.Julian is finally back home.Can you please take Rupert and Rump too? Please Please pretty please with sugar on top. So PLEASE, please, please send Trump to Germany. Here he can spend his money for more sensible things than election campaigns. In our political system there is not the slightest danger he could gain (or buy) any destructive position. We would even buy him a nice little house in Kallstadt. One that used to belong to a Trump. And... our constitution states: "Germans" will not be extradited to intrusive courts overseas. A win-win situation for Trump. * also the ancestral home of the Heinz family, who founded the American ketchup empire. |

Well that's 1 less to worry about for quite some time. Iran's Newest Navy Warship Sinks in 'Accident'. Iran has lost one of its newest indigenous warships after it capsized in an "accident" in its home port, the country's state media said on Sunday. |

I guess that that tells a story. Map Shows Best Countries for Work-Life Balance. A new report revealed the best countries for work-life balance, and the United States landed near the bottom of the list. |

This was in part of a doco that I saw recently. How the British were forced to reveal secret files on torture of Kenyan resistance fighters. As the colonial forces were preparing to leave Kenya, in the days leading up to its independence from Britain in 1963, they were given one last order.Colonising Empires do have a lot to answer for. |

Him and his cronies should've lost the lot considering the mess that they made. Former Qantas chief executive Alan Joyce's multi-million-dollar payout reduced by about $10 million. Qantas has reduced former chief executive Alan Joyce's multi-million-dollar payout by almost $10 million. |

I hope that this slime gets what he deserves inside. An animal expert who appeared on international TV has been jailed over the sadistic rape and torture of dozens of dogs, much of which was filmed and put online. A bit of castration wouldn't go astray either. |

They've been a bane all around the world, but they don't see it that way. Short-term rental giant Airbnb has hit out at claims they’re contributing to the country’s housing crisis as local governments move to block short term rentals. Rental giant Airbnb has hit out at claims they’re contributing to Australia’s property crisis.Quite frankly if they want to stay in business they should be building places to make their profits from and not sucking the life out of local markets. |

He definitely knows the transparently published figures on Palestinian (so called) 'refugees' from Denmark. In 1992, the kingdom put a temporary special law into force (so called 'Palestine Act') to grant asylum to a group of 321 Palestinians who illegally reached Denmark from Lebanon. In 2017, of the 270 still living in Denmark, 204 (64%) had already been sentenced for crimes, 67 of them get prison terms. The causes have been carefully investigated, and of course they are not 'genetic', but rather a lack of education. In short: the society of Palestinians in Lebanon, the West Bank or Gaza is toxic; it hinders progress through a remarkable lack of education. This must be changed on the ground in the Middle East, not abroad. You do not help Palestine by relocating its uneducated, fanatical brainwashed population to advanced industrialized countries. The far right morons in Australia's government know this. There is a reason why all Arab states in the Middle East are doing the same: no immigration or work permits for Palestinians. They don't care, but we should. It is a sensitive topic (... a taboo in my country btw. which canceled political careers). I am not a racist... I am in favor of spending massive ammounts of our money to establish a modern, efficient education system for Palestinians (the day after achieving a reliable peace agreement) and ASAP in neighboring countries (e.g. Jordan, Lebanon) where Palestinians still live as sidelined stateless people without a future because these Arab regimes deny them citizenship to uphold pressure on Israel. We, who need educated immigrants, should build up (design and supervise!!!) an education system for Palestinians instead of giving another Dollar or Euro to UNRWA. Over the many decades of its existence UNRWA has only created so-called "schools" there that preach hatred and terror. Their educational results are completely useless; as extensively examined by Danish sociologists.

Or is that everything to do with whatever schooling there is there being either Religious, Military, or an even more unholy mix of both? All desperately without hope?

No, as education results did not improve inof course they are not 'genetic', but rather a lack of education.could that have anything to do with schools being bombed? Unfortunately abandoned schools loose its status when a large Hamas group rans their operations or hides inside. It remains the responsibility of the warring powers to weigh up wheter the effect of an attack justifies expected civilian casulties and collateral damage. It's horrific, like every war. |
