How the fuck can you not check who was on the chat group . Laughable incompetence. And then peppering the chat with these emojis after the bombing. Schoolboy stuff. Fuck Trump and his merry band of cretins.

Australia has the world's strictest bio security laws, and currently ALL beef products, from ALL countries are banned from being imported into Australia, it has nothing to do with Tariffs and to do with keeping Australia free from many diseases including the mad cow one which we don't have a problem with.
Silly Orange cսnt
Not against his Tariffs if reciprocal, seems some countries have been taking the piss so can see the logic!

Being a republican has nothing to do with what tax band you’re in.
Getting back to the point, this country has something fundamentally wrong in its society. People are happy not to work and seem to think that they deserve nice things so they nick them instead of working for them.
Nutsin wrote: ↑02 Apr 2025, 19:45I pay top end too. Which is why I’m a Republican.
You sure you pay top end? I think you’re lying again.

not one person ever decided against being ambitious because of the top rate of income tax.
If you work hard you often do get somewhere, but a large chunk of society don’t fancy working hard.“But a large chunk of society don’t fancy working hard” LOL!
I find You can always tell the mooch from the tax payer when it comes to discussing taxation.Yeh you can.
The tax payer despises people who get handouts and do nothing. The mooch moans about tax rates and uses them as an excuse not to work.
I pay the top end tax rate in this country, how about you?

allow me to explain it to you like I’m talking to a 6 year old.
My point is the kids today see no opportunity to better themselves. All they see is handouts, no incentives to work, what’s the point? Work your ass off to get nowhere.
Heavy taxation kills ambition and the entrepreneurial spirit.
Hope that helps!

Fuck that!
Not quite over 50% but pretty close. Then if you want to buy a home because you work hard and are considered successful only to get hit with Property tax. Good eh!
I don’t think anyone on 150k is considering giving it up to claim benefits and start shop lifting.Never said they would.

zero sense of community and zero work ethic, and we're not talking about a few people here - this is a big chunk of the country.Why would they want to work, most of what people earn is taken from them.Don't be silly.
"most" of what you earn isn't taken from you at all.
and not working or shoplifting just makes the situation worse for everyone.

I see you don't know what unequivocable means.
'The tragedy of 7 July 2005 demands that all of us, both in public life and in civil and religious society, confront together the problems of Islamophobia, racism, unemployment, economic deprivation and social exclusion – factors that may be alienating some of our children and driving them towards the path of anger and desperation.'

"Genuine question. Whenever an act of terror is carried out do the Imams come out and condemn the acts or do they stay quiet?"
Yes they do, every time, at least the one's that aren't extremists posing as imans. You haven't heard them because the MSM news you have no love for don't bother reporting it (just believe the opposite of what they say remember? Your words not mine)Very funny reply. would read again.
I'm a fucking newshound and I don't think I've seen any imam unequivocally denounce any terrorist act ever.Great "newshound" you are
