Rainbow lights at Melbourne’s Shrine of Remembrance cancelled due to abuse
elbourne’s Shrine of Remembrance has scrapped plans to light up the site in rainbow colours after staff were threatened and abused.
The landmark was set to be illuminated in rainbow light on Sunday ahead of an exhibition celebrating LGBTQ personnel in the armed forces.
The exhibition and a Last Post service will still go ahead, however, Shrine of Remembrance chief executive Dean Lee said the lighting had been cancelled.
“Over several days, our staff have received — and been subject to — sustained abuse and, in some cases, threats,” he said.
“We have seen something of what members of the LGBTIQ+ community experience every day. It is hateful.”
3AW host Neil Mitchell spoke out against the plan earlier in the week, calling it divisive” and was a misuse of the sacred Shrine building.
“No disrespect to the gay community but the rainbow flag can be divisive,” Mitchell said.
“It’s not the role of the Shrine to be leading that debate, the Shrine should be above politics and political debate.”
Yvonne Sillett from the Discharged LGBTQIA+ Veterans Association, who was discharged in 1988 after what she says was a witch hunt because of her sexuality, said she was disappointed by the decision to cancel the rainbow lighting.
“I was angry for many, many years so the rainbow lighting tomorrow night was going to be, finally the world can see, or Melbourne can see, we did have in out military members from the LGBTQI community,” she told 9news.
The ban on gay and lesbian personnel was only lifted in 1992 by the Keating Government.

Most immigrants chose this beautiful country because it expoused 'equality for all' along with all the other essential freedoms inherent in a 'Democracy', and this aspect of Australian history is reflected by the watchword for Federation in 1901 ..... 'That the country was now united as One People, One Flag, One Destiny', although now we should probably add ' and with One Federal Parliament'.
As the word Apartheid (Afrikaan for 'apartness') refers to 'a system or policy of discrimination based on race', most Australians apart from being confused, must surely be very concerned that our new Govt, is asking (almost shaming) them through a 'Referendum' to 'rubber stamp' an 'apartheid style' change to our Constitution (in that it is based on racial discrimination), which not only confers additional rights to certain (self-identifying) citizens, but also (apparently to save confusion?) for this exercise to be conducted with only minimal information regarding its final representation, powers or even its financial rigor.
This hurried 'Virtue Signalling' proposal and gamble by the Govt is frought with danger and unintended consequences, just reflect on the far reaching cultural, political & legal fallout from what seemed originally like a fairly straightforward SSM Bill

Alexandra Marshall from The Spectator:
What’s spicy this evening
I can’t be the only one getting nervous hearing Labor Treasurer Jim Chalmers admit that inflation is going to get a lot worse. The ‘recession we had to have’ under Keating happened when I was a child. It destroyed my family and those of my friends whose parents were all middle-class small business owners. Their homes, cars, and lives were ruined. Friends slowly vanished from the private school system as money evaporated. Parents took on two jobs and had nothing to show for it at the end of the week. Howard was loved primarily because his reign felt like ascending a staircase out of a torture chamber. In 2022, the economic warning signs are rapidly depicting an approaching nightmare of a similar scale.
Of course, politicians are safe. Their incomes and privileges won’t feel the ruthless smack in the face that ‘green’ policies promise. Chalmers might say that he’s ‘confronted’ by Australians choosing between food and paying the rent – but he is not going to be one of them, and he won’t do anything about it. As The Spectator Australia lead article says this week, ‘Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has laid out his plans. Like President Joe Biden, the PM seems to be intent on making inflation great again.’ There used to be a time when $70 could fill a trolley, now it comprises barely half a dozen items. The economy, not virtue, holds a government together and everything is already falling down around Albanese.

Socialism is a cancer on society and this latest prick is a prime example. After they put that coat of yellow on the dumb bastards forehead, they should have added " Wanker " in black paint.
In the background of that picture is the aboriginal activist Pat Dodgson..with the stupid black hat on that he even wears into the parliamentary chamber.
The elites of the aboriginal industry will be having wet dreams about the rivers of money that will flow to them if this lunacy gets up on a vote. Hopefully, there are still enough of us to vote this down.

Peter Dutton needs to be told that this issue is the one worth staking his political future on. If he 'does a Morrison' and follows the advice he will doubtlessly get from his wet/black hand advisors, he might as well cross the floor with all his MPs and join the unigovernment.
If he does what I fear he won't have the cojones to do and mounts a loud and clear campaign against what can only be described as a first step into Apartheid for Australia, he will recover his conservative voter base.

Jacqui Lambie has pleaded with Anthony Albanese to “give us some detail” about his proposed referendum on the Voice to Parliament – or risk it failing.

Yep, ordinary people are just worker ants and ordinary Aboriginals will be kept down.
They have to be otherwise overlords cannot be overlords if they have no one's backs to ride on. New Age plantation owners.

I had a laugh when I heard a radio comment that wearing the outfit and hat Albo looks more like a country bloke that the previous PM wearing a baseball cap.
So acting and looking the part is important?

Watch the video of the Prime Wanker dancing with the black fellas
Then read the replies to this post
Soon he will say on his mothers side he has aboriginal blood
https://twitter.com/AlboMP/status/1553612532425707521
WHEN WILL SOMEONE ASK THEQUESTION AS TO WHETHER ALBO HAS DUAL CITIZENSHIP AND DID HE RENOUNCE HIS ITALIAN CITIZENSHIP????
I quote:
RECOGNITION OF ITALIAN CITIZENSHIP FOR INDIVIDUALS OF ITALIAN DESCENT
Italian Citizenship is based upon the principle of “jus sanguinis” (blood right) meaning that a child born of an Italian father or mother is an Italian citizen regardless of place of birth.

Can someone email Dutton on this?

What puzzles me is: what is it that matters to aboriginal people that does not matter or affect other Australians? Can we please have an example of what the matter or concern is that is singularly only affecting aboriginals? Then we may have something that is able to be considered by the other 99%. Other wise this is handing over total control of the entire country to a select few on spurious grounds, nothing more, nothing less.

There should be NO early voting. Vote on the day otherwise postal votes that can be checked for validity. Voter I.D. and digital rolls that will indicate on all rolls when someone has voted.

Lining up to vote for dumb or dumber.. No thanks.
I postal vote every time.

Well UTW - that would be very Progressive wouldn’t it though? Just what the WEF wants us to do.
Our teacher pan fried us up a few Witchetty Grubs in School, way back when - they tasted a bit like bone marrow to me.

I read years ago about the Dodson brothers, their father was known as "Snowy" Dodson and he was a migrant shearer white fella, mother Malaysian and Australian Aborigine ancestry.

The recession we had to have according to Keating Labor, worst in sixty years, began 1990 and continued to 1996 when recovery was underway leaving very deep wounds to overcome.
The Howard Coalition inherited budget in deficit and close to $100 billion of debt which in 1996 dollar value was a substantial amount. PM Howard and Treasurer Costello managed the budget into surplus in all but one year of their eleven years in government and replied the Labor debt with interest by June 2006. In 2007 they handed Rudd Labor a $22 billion budget surplus and zero debt, in fact funds in hand, all spent by Rudd Labor and they had started on debt creation before the financial year ended in June 2008.
Albanese Labor today complains about inheriting "a trillion dollar debt" but that is not accurate, the Current Account debt was around $800 billion and the trillion is Forward Estimates of future estimates. And Labor fails to admit that they were responsible for half of the Current Account debt they handed over to the Abbott Coalition in 2013.
I am very concerned that Albanese Labor are poorly equipped to deal with the financial and economic issues they must now deal with.
But the fact remains that unemployment is at the lowest level since the 1970s and the economy is growing, 3.5% GDP but predicted to fall to closer to 3.1% and of course inflation is rising.
Few remember that the 2019/20 Budget was heading towards the first surplus since 2007/08, that the budget repair Treasurer Hockey was criticised by Labor about when it was called a repair budget had worked.

If the Italian Prime Minister, Alwaysleazy from Overseasy, is successful in achieving his Apartheid system of Leftard Misgovernment for all those with an A.L.P. politically preferred skin colour, once they start meeting in their own racist Parliament, will they be compulsorily Smoked-out and then Welcomed to the Country each day by some money-gouging White Aunty or Uncle?
Just asking in the name of fairness and equity.

Unless you’ve had an opportunity to read and digest the fine print first, don’t vote for it.

Albo ALREADY knows exactly what it will say, but knows full well that if that information is made known to the public then the reaction in the negative will be of nuclear proportions!

I see that Newspoll is allegedly touting a "...record electoral approval..." for the Italian Prime Minister and utterly ineligible Dual-Citizen (it seems that being in the A.L.P., Section 44 of the Commonwealth Constitution Act doesn't apply to him - it only applies to everybody else!).
Presumably this must be referring to the proportion of the 30% of voters (both the dead ones and the verticals) who allegedly voted for silly-looking character in his Op-Shop Depression-era Arthur Calwell-hat and his horn-rimmed testicles.
Given that 70% of the electorate voted AGAINST him, Newspoll are either referring to the record LOW number who approve of him being there, or maybe this is a paid-for poll?
Alternatively, maybe Newspoll like the A.L.P.-affiliated Union members at the A.E.C., have started polling the dead?

They intended doing that, but couldn't locate a spine.

Have any politicians in this country ever tried to alter this imbecilic voting system?
Posted by: Bob Hay | Monday, 01 August 2022 at 04:09 PM
Would Albanese buy a home with no knowledge whatsoever of what he was buying? Of course not.
Would he enter into a cohabitation agreement without knowing something about the other half? Of course not.
Basic prudence means you don't surrender money or rights without some understanding of what's going on. Albo might be surprised to learn that such elementary homework has become a global trend in the last 50,000 years.
What a low opinion Albanese must have of the Australian public: "all you need is trust".
That might be OK for an infants school lucky dip, but we are talking about a major constitutional change where - as always - the devil is in the detail. And that's before Green agendas and activist judges are superimposed.

But am I wrong Michael? I think not. You're too clueless to realise you are the problem. You whine a lot on your blog, but you are too gutless to call a spade a spade, and the spades will walk over you.

I doubt that stuff on his moosh was picked up at the Reject Shop. Shouldn’t a brush of chewed up bark or reeds or some such be used to slap it on in keeping with any ‘traditional’ link for this theatre?

Meghan Markle...
Apropos of nothing, does it strike you as exceedingly odd that Meghan describes herself as: "a former actor", but also as a current "Princess"?
If she was an "actor", wouldn't she now be a "Prince"?
Did she have a sex-change without the paparazzi finding out, or is she like every other Leftard Q.W.E.R.T.Y.L.G.B.F.J.B.'s and just flips from one to the other whenever she feels like it, with all her former 'jiggly bits' unaltered?
Why is it that Leftards have such a problem with gender and race?

You really do have a problem with Charlotte don’t you? Keep up the good work Charlotte.
