Police stop young woman from walking in Sydney street for fear of offending Muslims

My Uncle Joe and Aunty Aud used to live in Lakemba.

We used to walk around to their place from the train station all the time.

It's hard to watch Australia turn into a place where a young woman is stopped by police from walking down the street.

...but this can happen in the roadway and its all OK.

Lauren Southern's provocative, but she's not violent.

The breach of the peace wouldn't have come from Southern, it was going to come (if it happened) from persons with a reputation for violent behaviour, persons known to police.

We are rewarding bad behaviour here.

 


Compare and contrast results for Trump's MAGA with Turnbull's Ideas Boom

Private investment is surging in the US, growing at 9.4% this year!

Trump has presided over that growth by lowering taxes, fixing energy policy, cutting red tape, repealing bullshit laws and putting America first.

The deadheaded dolt running the show here told us in December 2015 that innovation and his "Ideas Boom" would fix things up for us.

Wanna know how that went?

Private investment growth in Australia is feeble at best - in some sectors investment is contracting, severely - that means job losses.

Australia Private Capital Expenditure  1987-2018 

Private capital expenditure in Australia rose by 0.4 percent quarter-on-quarter in the March quarter of 2018, following an upwardly revised 0.2 growth in the previous period while market estimated a 0.8 percent rise. Expenditure on equipment, plant and machinery went up at a faster pace (2.5 percent from 1.8 percent in the December quarter). On the other hand, expenditure on buildings and structure continued to fall (-1.3 percent from -1.1 percent). Through the year to the first quarter, private capital expenditure grew by 3.7 percent. Private Investment in Australia averaged 1.41 percent from 1987 until 2018, reaching an all time high of 15.60 percent in the second quarter of 1996 and a record low of -8.10 percent in the third quarter of 2015.

It takes special skills in stupid to have immigration running at warp-speed while private investment in construction is contracting.

Congratulations on your achievement Chairman Mal.
