Yeah, well there ya go. Who owns the game of AFL? Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, oi, oi, oi. Ya know there is a very old saying that I had to rely on as a kid: Sticks and stones may break my bones by names will never hurt me. What crime did the woman commit and who has jurisdiction over her? All are agreed she threw a piece of fruit onto the field whilst a game was in play. She has been fined for disorderly behaviour by South Australian police a total of $543 plus a police barring order for six months. Hosch, AFL said the throwing of a banana and its association with slurs on indigenous Australians and other cultural groups, is deeply racist and offensive, and should be rejected by every part of our game; as a result the woman is banned indefinitely from attending any Port Adelaide games in the future. Eddie Betts says, we go out there to play footy and to entertain. We don’t want to be fearing for (our safety) and dodging stuff that comes onto the field. The Police and Betts see the incident as a public safety issue which in the scheme of things is fair enough and on the scale of punishment the woman should have got a warning and community service. $543 seems pretty vindictive for a first offender. As for the AFL, they need a lesson in word association or better still psychiatry: banana triggers monkey, monkey triggers Aboriginal; it this really the mindset of white Australia? It seems to me that the AFL have a template of clichéd racial slurs and insults that if trigged, will bring down upon the offender not only the wrath of God but that of the AFL. The better approach is to calmly examine each alleged incident on its merits. The convict overseers of Botany Bay have risen once again from our dim past and assumed the avatar of the AFL.

Waleed Aly Mamamia’s heartthrob!
What’s the go with Mamamia? Is Waleed Aly their heartthrob of the moment? Mamamia seems to have an inordinate interest in promoting Waleed Aly as some sort of guru of the TV waves, everything he says is nectar to their ears. Waleed Aly is nothing more than a media humbug of the first water.
Popular Gillard dog toy off shelves!
I am totally outraged that the dogs of Australia have been denied a lovable chewable toy made in the image of Gillard, Madame Australia. This act of cruelty and selfishness is beyond belief in a democratic country like Australia; minorities, who are a force for evil, should attack innocent animals that need chewy items to clean their teeth. Shame on these wretches.
Who threw banana at AFL player Eddie Betts?
If she’s number one banana then who is number two banana? Here we go again, another First Nation player with thin skin. I thought they made em tough west of the black stump? Eddie is the second son of the Earl of Buckleboo and had a secluded upbringing and has not yet adjusted to the rough and tumble of uncouth Skippys who loiter round AFL parks with intent.
Bali, Kuta Beach murder of policeman.
Sounds like the policeman stumbled on an in flagrante delicto incident and decided to join in and make it a threesome..
ANZ: The Australian dollar is still going to fall to 66 cents – Baloney!
The Aussie dollar is being destroyed by the deadbeats at the Reserve Bank (RBA). The Government needs to retake charge of monetary policy from the RBA and increase the cash rate to 3% with effect 1 November 2016. This cash rate of 1.5% is a crime against deposit holders, the salt of the earth.
Ban the Burkini.
The French have been beating up on Arabs since the time Napoleon invaded Egypt. They created a special force for the job, the French Foreign Legion. What they didn’t expect was that the Arabs would flock to France in return for the lesson in French culture. As to secularising Moslems, the French think they can do to Islam what they did to the Catholics. After the French Revolution in 1798, religion in France was brought under state control, discouraged as anti-revolutionary, and monastic orders were abolished. Moslems don’t give a fig about French concepts of the secular, laic. Strictly speaking, wearing outwards signs of religious identification such as clothes, images, headgear or any other religious apparel is prohibited in France but you try telling that to a Moslem. Capiche.
Waleed Aly delivers his most fierce wake-up call yet, and we are definitely listening.
Abby Ballard, give us a break. Freud said women were hysterics and he was not wrong. Your article is the mother of all smoke and mirrors one might care to bump into in a deadbeat blog like Mamamia. If you check the records, you will find more whites, skippys, die in custody than any black fellows. What about their families. As for Waleed Aly, he is just about the greatest piece of media humbug there is. 1980 to 2011; Total deaths in Australia 1393; Indig/Abo 238, Whites 1155.
NGANBERRA: Me sit down country Kindle Edition by Paul Dillon (Author)
Nganberra is the story of a young man making his way in life at the height of the Vietnam war. Vernon Short leaves Queensland and begins a struggle to become couth and elegant against a bucketload of prejudices, weaknesses and haughtiness to work as a clerk in Canberra. The major preoccupation of the time was Vietnam. The story is his attempt to climb the hierarchy of the public service and his hopes of being sent to the Saigon cash office as a Lieutenant. In this rite of passage, he has to confront living in a hostel on his own. His attempts at forming bonds with people including young women his own age are excruciatingly painful to witness and drag the reader through a tawdry tale of a juvenile, farouche life laced with sex, alcohol and violence. He bounces off people like a drunken sailor but all the while seeing his encounters as the actions of a suave, no-nonsense, macho he-man who brilliantly plans and executes his stratagems.
Deception Bay, Kindle Edition by Paul Dillon (Author)
The true history of Australia told from the very first day when Captain Cook arrived up to modern times. Unlike America were the cowboys and Indians roamed the prairies, in Australia, aborigines and white men roamed the never never. Unlike the Indians, the Aborigines have inherited Australia and taken all the benefits. This book is a thrilling and penetrating narrative of Australian life from deep within the suburban wilderness where ethnic minorities rule the roost, crow the loudest and luxuriate in self righteous ethnic hubris and fiscal extravagance. The novel is a fast moving gallop of terror and destruction as the hero slashes his way through the soft underbelly of modern white urban gullibility.
