Factional ferrets, backstabbing bandicoots, and the great Teal tango - how the Libs turned on their own and left Dutton in the dust. By Roderick (Whiskers) McNibble, Chief Political Correspondent, Ratty News - keeping paws on the pulse and noses in the nonsense.
Ratty News can now reveal the explosive truth behind Peter Duttons's catastrophic election loss: it wasn’t incompetence. It wasn’t the Teals. It wasn’t even the cost-of-living crisis.
It was a hit job. An inside job. A Ratstab.
Sources embedded in the Liberal Party's subterranean burrows have leaked details of Operation Ratstab – a covert campaign of sabotage orchestrated by a cabal of factional insiders known only as The Black Paw. This Armani-suited syndicate of Sydney moderates, teal-curious technocrats, and ex-Turnbull loyalists didn’t just torpedo Dutton’s run.
They detonated the entire ship, saluted ironically, and then popped over to the North Shore for pinot noir and crumbed cheese on toast.

Magic happens everywhere and goodness, wonder and delight can be found alive and well throughout the world.
All we need do is look to our children, grandchildren and great grandchildren, for the joy in the simplicity of delight to be found in such timeless heroes.
Fairies are part of my Manx heritage so it is not be be treated lightly that you have my assurance that the Tooth Fairies are still flying around the world doing a great job.
They tell me that the Easter Bunny is also ready for a bumper Easter Egg day. But they asked me to remind the children to brush their teeth and not get carried away with too many goodies from the Bunny basket.
Enjoy!
How many people around the world have been warning about the danger we are in? All around the world, we have been called conspiracy theorists and accused of peddling misinformation and disinformation. Yet we are being proven correct mere months after.
One can't help but think back to the man who warned of danger. Thank goodness, back then, people listened.
Paul Revere, a silversmith from Boston, is one of the most celebrated figures of the American Revolutionary War. Born on January 1, 1735, Revere's life and actions have become an emblem of the spirit of American independence. His legendary midnight ride on April 18, 1775, to warn the colonial militia of the approaching British forces has etched his name into American history.
However, Revere's contributions to the American Revolution extend far beyond this single act of heroism.
Legacy.com is a website where you can search what it says is “the world’s largest obituary database,” with nearly 50,000,000 entries accumulated since the site started publishing death notices in 1998.
The Web site hosts obituaries and memorials for more than 70 percent of all U.S. deaths. Legacy.com hosts obituaries for more than three-quarters of the 100 largest newspapers in the U.S., by circulation. The site attracts more than 30 million unique visitors per month and is among the top 40 trafficked websites in the world.
Although it does not appear to have an “About Us” page right now, I was able to locate one from 2019 [and one at a different URL with no apparent date. Both say it is “a top-50 website in the US with more unique monthly visitors than Wikipedia, Netflix, or LinkedIn.”
The site also claims to “offer users a permanent, shareable space to commemorate the lives of their loved ones” with “5000+ funeral home, newspaper, and advertising partners.”
Given the claim that Legacy.com offers a “permanent” space for commemoration, the recent discoveries by an alert researcher raise some interesting questions.

Victorians could go to prison for up to five years for hate speech under new anti-vilification laws proposed by the Victorian Government.
Under the proposed laws, it would be an offence to “incite hatred against, serious contempt for, revulsion towards or severe ridicule” of a person or group based on their sex, gender identity, or race.
It would also be illegal to “threaten physical harm or property damage on the ground of a protected attribute.”
The new laws would lower the legal threshold for prosecuting people for vilification and would add gender identity, sex, sex characteristics, sexual orientation, and disability to the list of protected attributes alongside race and religion, which are already protected.
Online, these laws will apply to anyone, anywhere who vilifies a person in Victoria, although the government acknowledges that this may be difficult to enforce.
Offline, these laws will apply to both public and private interactions.
