Fraser Anning is probably the most talked about Politician in Australia. He is controversial. Hated – in some cases Despised. He is ridiculed for having been elected because of 19 votes.
Well, whoever those 19 people were or are, you created a man who has turned Australian Politics on its head , twisted it and almost wrung it’s neck.
Is he a man who is saying what some of us think but are too afraid to say?
We are asked to believe that a single nutter from Australia came across the ditch and managed to obtain weapons and singlehandedly carry out a massacre of innocent people in a Mosque in Christchurch. From obscurity, the country that the rich and famous invested millions in, in order to secure their bolt hole should “ things go wrong “ New Zealand suddenly became the most talked about country in the world.
Who is the dumbest of them all?
Have our Governments and Politicians become brain dead? Or do they think that we have?
It seems extraordinary to me that Theresa May and her Political Class are so out of touch with the People that they cannot comprehend that Leave means Leave.
In America, the likes of Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, feel that American’s are too stupid to make up their own minds about the environment. The only answer for her and her ilk is to come up with hair brained schemes that would see us driving Fred Flintstone’s car and take us back to the stone age.
In 2015 . Lord Christopher Monkton gave a speech. Little did we know how prophetic it would become.
Tony Abbott was rolled by Malcolm Turnbull and the left, the UN and the real Powers that be are now after his blood. It is frightening that things are changing in our world and in our country at such an alarming rate of knots.
When the Christchurch Massacre occurred, the Maori community, in particular the Maori Bikie Gangs, GIFTED their support and condolences and their heartfelt empathy to the Islamic faith in New Zealand.
It was a symbolic teardrop pounamu ( greenstone) . A gesture of condolence and support. A gift made out of love and concern at a time of mourning.
It is Maori tradition. But be careful when you accept a gift, because a gift, no matter how kindly given, can come back and bite you if it is used with bad intent. When you accept a gift, it can come with strings attached. Winston Peters was given a gift by having the right to choose New Zealand’s future. He has turned it in to a Curse.
One of the great motivators for suicide bombers and Islamic Terrorists is that of Heaven with 72 Virgins waiting for them in order to while away eternity in a rapture of sex, lust and decadent delight. Or, so I am told.
This blind faith that spurs so many on to a quick exit from this life and on to the next has always fascinated me, but, on due consideration, this life has not been that flash for most of them. So perhaps the promise of better things ahead would act as a real incentive to speed things up and call it a day.
Some of our Politicians must have been promised something pretty neat to have them head for the off ramp and on to the highway to heaven .

I loved my Uncle Bob. He fascinated me, amazed me and I thought that he was the most bloody exciting person I had ever met.
Allan Savory works to promote holistic management in the grasslands of the world. I discovered his work, quite by chance and am an instant fan.
Some time ago, I was sitting at my dinner table with my family. We were enjoying our normal Sunday Roast dinner and apple crumble and custard for dessert. Our Sunday night's were very special to us as family and we enjoyed them whilst we embraced the joy of family companionship and love.
" When a loved one departs this world because of illness and age , you know it is going to happen that the end is near, but it still comes as a shock , has he or she has really gone , at the time you don't really realize that it means forever, never to see them again, that part of your life is over. I was married for over 65 years.
The final details take up your time and mind , the gathering to celebrate the life of your loved one, family, friends and neighbours comforting you.
After a few months reality sets in, who do you chat with over your early morning cup of tea or coffee , you have the dog , the cat is always there . They are full of understanding, they miss the departed one too . The company and the pleasure of talking about the planned day's activities are only in your mind not being shared with someone you love. Meals prepared for one , where is the question of what do you feel like for lunch today.
You are told by friends the loss takes about 2 years to accept and recover from, but that is not true, it gets worse if anything. You miss even more the company , the discussions, the different ideas and opinions that give spice to life . You miss the partnership of doing household chores, planning something new in the garden , watching together your favourite TV shows. Putting up with him or her watching their favourite show , but not yours.
It is something that comes to all of us at some stage in our lives, perhaps some can handle it more successfully , but I think until it happens to you it is hard to imagine the impact and change it does have on your everyday life. There is one good side to all of this and that is , what would life have been like if you had not had the good fortune to meet and love someone who meant so much to you. " ... Redhead
Is it right wing extremist to say "close the borders " and "Australia First"? A young and intelligent man I know and love, who prides himself on being a centrist, has suggested to me that these phrases are somehow worthy of his contempt. But I wonder, what is so contemptuous about those 5 words?
