Yeh, it continues his pattern of spewing random nonsense.
Mince must be questioning if the damage to his "credibility" is worth it.
I don't watch the show often but I never fail to be surprised at just how incoherent Robinson is.
Is this the right thread for this name change?
Moreland is now called Merri-bek. Good to see an indigenous name to one of our suburbs but this one I don't like much. Hyphened? There's already a Merri (train station) on the Mernda line.
Was this really necessary? What about people with that surname? I'll assume one of our posters, Coburg Tiger, would know/live in that region.

HAHAHAHA!!!! Very good Harry. Very funny!!! Thanks for sharing that. Humour is a great way to disempower the absurd, the fanatical, the idealogues of every persuasion.
Is this the right wing version of woke?

Sounds like books have been cancelled.
I’m a teacher in Florida. Here’s what the book bans look like in my classroom
A new crackdown on books in Florida schools has had a chilling effect in classrooms.

WOKE: aware of and actively attentive to important facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice)
Definition of WOKE
aware of and actively attentive to important societal facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice) —often used in contexts that suggest someone's expressed beliefs about such matters are not backed with genuine concern or action… See the full definitionwww.merriam-webster.com

It's how right wingers keep warm, by burning books. They have always been the most supportive of restricting texts they don't agree with, of classifying everything they can as somehow a state secret (I thought the people were sovereign in a democracy, how can there be secrets from the sovereign?), etc.
There is a very telling line in that article:
What a mess the USA is.

I have my own definition of the word "woke."
Woke = Awake.
To me it really is that simple and i don’t consider being labelled "woke"an insult in the slightest.
But does it disempower somone or just make people who misuse it look stupid?
I'm a Moreland ratepayer and supported the change. It’s a council and a level of government needs to be above negative aspects of history. We still have the road, train station, pub and Post Office named after Moreland. So Moreland isn't being wiped (or cancelled as some people like to put it) from history.
Yeah I noticed those Bin. I thought you were an Altona boy for life.
You can take the westie out of the boy, etc.
Is Essedon considered west? probably not by the local toffs
First you were a southwesterner and now you're a northwesterner. Bummerland is northwest too.You can take the westie out of the boy, etc.

talking with my son , a truck driver and has a partner who identifies as Indigenous
she's from NSW South Coast and has plenty of contact with her grandy parents and extended family
he normally doesn't have a woke bone in his body
and approaching Australia Day we had the conversation about the day and how to refer to them
and when I said black fellas / white fellas or Aboriginal if being more formal , he was no no no , has to be First Australians
my first reaction is don't be so woke , and seriously , you !!!
and then with time to think , he has to circulate in that community and has to respect the handle they choose
**
the over the top woke we all hate
a work morning tea , a handful of people are tasked with organising and the expected crowd , about 120
one guy comes in like a ballerina, shouting "its all got to be Halal , everything on the table has to be halal "
"I want this to be inclusive, they have to be eat anything on the table"
Woke might of started meaning people sensitive to the issues of marginalised people
but the contemporary version is people like that have hijacked it
dramatic , completely disingenuous, attention seekers
and IIRC he had some excuse for not organising any food , halal or otherwise

You could replace "woke" with environmentalists, animal rights activists, capitalists, women's right activists, religious groups, or pretty much any group of people seeking change or justice.
and sometimes what is "just too far" is middle ground in the future.
OK, you've probably got me on this one.
trophy hunters are scumbags. I'd would undoubtedly go at anyone or anything that attempted to hurt my little boy (my dog).
But veganism? that’s a bridge too far for me.
The problem with a lot of this type of stuff, that often resorts to people hearing "they" want to cancel Christmas and what not, is that while someone might have good intentions "let them eat everything on the table", it deprives others.
I live in a country that's a good mix of Chinese, Malay and Indian cultures. They live their lives together quite peacefully and no one deprives others because of religion or culture.
At a banquet, or large food spread, there will be labels on all Halal food. Similar labels on all Vegetarian dishes. People eat what they want to eat without complaining that they are being marginalised because no one thought to order halal roast pork belly.
You travel through Malaysia, a very staunch Muslim country with muslim laws, during December and plastered everywhere in stores and malls is "Selamat Hari Natal", or Merry Christmas in Malay. They celebrate each others festivities and everyone is welcome to join in and celebrate.
So the next time you hear the "muslims" are trying to cancel Christmas or some other culture trying to cancel something else, there's a more likely chance that's it's actually some ignorant wannabe do gooder anglo saxon who is actually doing a lot more harm than good.
