'United we stand': Melbourne's Sri Lankan community gathers to pay respectsMembers of Melbourne's large Sri Lankan community came together in grief and disbelief on Monday as they tried to comprehend the horror of the terror attacks that have claimed at least 290 lives. Prayers again what good does praying to a fairy story do if there ever was a god isn't this his doing Wouldn't it be great to see Melbourne's Muslim leaders & community speak out in support of your Sri Lankan community like the rest of the world did after the Christchurch attacks? It appears this is just another case of Muslims having no respect or tolerance for the others. Praying, that’ll help! Seems to have done the trick after every other attack!

Palmer United Party to be placed ahead of Labor on Liberals' how-to-vote cardsThe Liberal Party strikes a deal to exchange preferences with Clive Palmer. Typical of the libs to support a party founded by a man who doesn't pay his employees over a party that represents lower and middle Australians. Thats fair enough. The party that has no regard for workers should endorse the party that actually screws workers. As they are entitled to, and entitled to be judged by. BTW PUP preferences go all over the place
