Luce_Magoose Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 The Jenkins thing *is* like Survivor! Now I'll just wait for them to start arguing about plantains. Harry Jenkins (and his father before him) have dominated our electorate since the 1960s. Senior has a park named after him! Interesting to see how much of a voice he actually has now that he can particimapate.Tangent: Jalna yoghurt is to die for.Further tangent: Saw snippets of two "Snow White" movies coming out next year. One is light and fluffy. The other is dark and sinister, but is comical simply because they insinuate that Kristin Stewart is fairer than Charlize Theron. Really.

Is there any hope of the left winning the fight to change the platform on gay marriage?I hope so.However, the ACL are doing their best (with a dodgy email campaign) to counter that outcome.

Is the ACL those Fred Nile troglodytes? If so they're certainly just a bunch of green house gases we don't need.=> rantMy nephew's in hospital- getting investigations done but not too seriously ill. So I visit my sister to take her out to lunch and about a 10 minute walk for fresh air and sunshine. I only got er out of the building. She's so enmeshed with hat kid who's ramping up the illness behaviour so much.If he was 2-3 yrs old and life threateningly ill I'd understand, but at 9 years of age and not exactly the retiring type, she can afford to do some self-care/end rant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gillio Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 From Joodalup Times in WADavid Gear COWAN MHR Luke Simpkins has been grilled over his claims that eating supermarket sausages can convert people to Islam. The Liberal backbencher’s comments sparked headlines as far away as Holland and Indonesia, after first being reported on the Times’ news website, inmycommunity.com.au, on Thursday. In a speech to Federal Parliament, Mr Simpkins accused meat producers including Harvey Beef, Inghams and Steggles of “deceiving” Western Australians by not labelling their products as Halal food. “So when you go to Coles, Woolworths or IGA, or other supermarkets, you cannot then purchase the meat for your Aussie barbecue without the influence of this minority religion,” he said. “By having Australians unwittingly eating Halal food, then we are all one step down the path of conversion, and that is a step we should only make with full knowledge and not be imposed upon us unknowingly.” Harvey Beef was contacted by the Times and declined to comment, but the story sparked a flurry of comments on inmycommunity.com.au: His office is in the same shopping Centre I work at.

brook Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Wow he's specialI did laugh when the demon child's school sausage sizzle gave us the choice between ordering Halal or non-Halal sausages. I'm pretty sure they only ordered one type of sausage ;-)Sh_Wulff - nah Fred Nile is his own brand of crazy but yeah it's a similar mindset.I hope your sister starts to look after herself as well.
