In the eyes of one Cabinet minister, today's special Liberal partyroom meeting on same-sex marriage is an exercise in elevating a fifth order issue into a crisis.

Welcome to another day at the office for the Turnbull Government.

A climate science critic and one of the most controversial figures in the Trump administration will soon tour Australia in a visit environmental activists are likely to target with protests.

CANBERRA -- Been hearing frustrated Turnbull Government MPs say recently they want to talk about pretty much anything else but same-sex marriage?

If you have followed the events of the past few years and kept a tab on the headlines from the merde-och press, you would know that this seemingly suggestive headline is actually false and misleading, DELIBERATELY.

The merde-och media hates Assad. It has been told by the US "intelligence" agencies and the White House (under Obama) to hate Assad. Assad is the elected leader of Syria. Throughout this website you can find some merde-och press headlines such as "Assad has to go". So what's wrong with the headline? It should say "FROM ISIS (ISIL. IS) WITH HATE if you will but not "from Syria...". The headline is designed to tell you that Syria IS A PROBLEM, When ISIS is the problem. This is a deliberate manipulation of information. 

In his book “Times of Crisis” (2009 — published 2014 in English/US), on the GFC (Global Financial Crisis, with a punny reference to a French song “Le temps des Cerises”), Michel Serres tells us:

We celebrate our good luck in Australia but, writes Dr Samuel Douglas, when things don’t always go our way, we’d be glad to live somewhere that values the "fair go".

Born 115 years ago today in Hermannsburg, Northern Territory, Albert (Elea) Namatjira remains one of Australia’s most famous artists, for his landscape paintings that celebrated the country through a unique lens of reds, ochres and purples. His story is a tragic one: the Western Arrarnta man became the first Aboriginal to be granted Australian citizenship in 1957. He was then exempted from laws that denied Indigenous Australians the right to vote, own property and drink alcohol, but was arrested for introducing liquor into his community – a charge which he denied. He was released from prison after two months but never recovered, and died of a heart attack in 1959, aged 57.
