These kids in the past would have been considered uncontrollable, thus the restraint. What the media has failed to tell us is the criminal history of these delinquent offenders. They were in prison for a reason and no doubt needed to be restrained. Cut the drama, it is only an ABC beat up about a bunch of ferals.
Eddie Obeid and Labor, say no more, wink, wink; know what I mean?
Every dumbass detective there has ever been, when confronted with a murder that is a tad too difficult, all ways goes for a family member. I watched the initial part of the first part and you could see the script writers laying the tendentious line to hang one of the family members. Mum seemed the most likely suspect; she dead, so hang it on the next idiot to put his head up, Burke.
One of Waleed Aly’s Muslim brothers stabs an Aussie in a terrorist act and all loud mouth Waleed Aly can talk about is the mickey mouse show, The Bachelor.
Since when has a crocodile been entitled to a pension for life? They should be shot on sight, goodbye Charlie. Whoever shot this croc did the community a service and is foreman material. Death to all crocs. Restore the status quo, eliminate! eliminate!
Where are all the bleeding hearts now, the Namby Pambys who embrace refos and love them to bits. Wake up Australi! See the writing on the wall.
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.
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.
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.
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.
