rowandean Who's this twat? Another IPA 'expert'?

rowandean Call their bluff ScoMo !

rowandean Using a national icon for a slide show to amuse vested interests is hardly a leftist issue What other country would degrade national icons in this way? Try doing this to the Eiffel Tower and conservatives would start rioting in the streets

The Everest barrier draw held early amid security concerns | Sky News AustraliaThe barrier draw for The Everest horse race has been held early amid security fears at the Sydney Opera House. \n\nThe draw was due to be projected live onto the sails of the iconic building tonight, but Racing NSW made the call early in a bid to ‘circumvent’ protestors who plan to congregate at tonight’s event. \n\nThe organisation has also requested all betting on the race to be suspended until the barrier draw is replayed. \n\nImage: Supplied \u002F News Corp Australia\n\n gerster_kaylene Meh, it's a slow week. Their pussyhats are in the wash. Why do ppl like this always have to label others as ‘left’ if they call something out? I can assure you I live in what would be considered a right wing safe seat and the anger is palpable. Of course she completely misses the point of the outrage. I don’t know why Sky bothers with all the screeching opinionistas it would be cheaper just have a 24 hour ticker feed running across the screen with TEH LEFT! TEH LEFT! TEH LEFT ....😂

Hundreds of thousands attend Brexit protest | Sky News AustraliaHundreds of thousands of demonstrators have taken to the streets of Central London to call for a referendum on a final Brexit deal. \n\nOrganisers of the ‘People’s Vote’ protest say 700,000 people joined the march, which brought the capital to a standstill. \n\nThe march was held at the same time as a pro-Brexit rally was held in England’s North Yorkshire. \n JaneMarwick I reckon they would be better off to have a second vote. Brexit would have to be one of the worst cases of self inflicted damage to a country in modern memory. TI JaneMarwick Is there any chance you can get actual experts on your shows rather than in-house journalists parading as commentators or is that commentators parading as journalists and of course those from the theipa and associated entities? Critical informed discourse would be so nice.

Initial decision to block Everest was selective and started this. If it was taken to voters, would be like politics, about 50/50. GladysB ‘HER DECISION ‘ 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂This bloke made the decision 💩
