Bet hes far northern Belgian.
Boers arent a race
But point taken, shouldnt be too hard to come up with a valid slur for Corman.

The Dutch have very good jokes about Belgium. Their standard one is
"Did you know there is actually a border between France and Holland? "
"It's called Belgium"
I am not surprised 91% of responders to a Hun poll think that, not only because of the demographic of Hun readers, and poll responders, but also, because if the only knowledge of the issue they have is that article people are more likely to oppose.
It represents the union as the official police response.
it also says the AMA slams the reforms when they dont, the spokesperson just says the reform will need to be implemented well.
the article also only gives a very brief quote from a politician about the benefits.
here is an article that shows both views:
After 'tipping point' of Tanya Day's death in custody, Victoria moves on public drunkenness offence
The Victorian Government says it will introduce laws to decriminalise public drunkenness before the end of the year, as an expert panel lays out a two-year plan to implement a health-based response. But the police union says it is concerned the approach is "all press release and no policy".

I'm very comfortable disagreeing with 91% of Hun readers in an online poll.
Not correct Brodders. I (along with 3 teammates) got charged with being drunk in a public place on a cricket trip. We were locked up for 4 hours and released. Actually went to court (officer lied about the incident in court) but did not get a conviction recorded/criminal record.
FWIW I think it is a silly law, we were lost walking back to our accommodation and cops just didn't want us on street. The cops could sit outside every pub in Aust around closing time and arrest almost everyone that walks out if they applied it religously.
They don't enforce it now, the change will make little difference IMO.
The D&D law has always been used to arrest people they just want to arrest.
Drunkeness is not a legal problem, it is a social and health problem, and should be treated that way.
If drunks act in ways which threaten others or disturb the peace (whatever that means) then there are plenty of laws to arrest people for in those situations.
If you really want to get crime rates down, legalise drugs, all making them illegal does is increase the price and ensure anyone who has a drug problem is treated like a criminal rather than someone with an addiction problem. It has never seriously had an impact on the ability to source drugs, although it does push the price up - good for dealers. Also the drugs which are made illegal is selective, alcohol would be the drug which causes the largest number of problems but is legal, yet marijuana is illegal and causes way less problems.

But don't even dream of taking a sniffer dog into the Birdcage or backstage at the Logies.
The Morrison Governments dispute with China has crossed the trade boundary, with China tweeting a fake image of an Australian soldier holding a knife to the throat of a child sitting on an Afghanistan flag.
Looks like China are answering Australia's previous rebuke of them over human rights, interesting times.

China is doing this to australia because they can. They had to hit a target that they know can’t hit back like for like. They can’t hit the US as hard or the European Union because they know they can get hurt on the way back.
This is not just about Australia this is about the “west” and we are the fall guys.
Huawei is banned elsewhere, so is the belt and road, their role in COVID-19 was condemned by others, others have condemned the Uighar internments and the Spratley settlements.
Lets see of our “friends” stand by us. I won’t be holding my breath.

Its absolutely brazen for a Government official to post a photoshopped image like that.
Are they playing Scott on a fast break knowing he was tied to Trump's hip?
They know image is everything to Morrison.
Anyways I couldn't care less about who's running our country. All this is recent conflict is doing is accelerating China's long term plans...

Childish sort of behaviour from China. Quite pathetic really. Best to ignore because if you react that's exactly what they want.
If this is followed the ALP will win the next election.

What a few beers with Albo will tell you
Anthony Albanese might not have much in common with Mark Twain and Paul McCartney but he does have this: Reports of his death have been greatly exaggerated.

the law was used over 6000 times in Victoria last year, i believe. it is enforced, predominantly against vulnerable people who are no risk to others, and there is little public benefit gained from them being charged.
that is why Victoria is getting rid of the law.
No idea the point of that article.If this is followed the ALP will win the next election.

Trying to get terrorists to eat more meat?
Largely another green-bashing piece
The journalistic equivalent of dusty shrugging a gryan miers tackle.
Yeah i got the Corman boer thing completely and utterly wrong and said it offensively.
Sorry on both counts
