Australia just became a National Security State

Your PM is a sook and Putin would tear him a new one...

Sorry Ralphy but you are incorrect.
First, he's not a sook. He is, in reality, a very spoiled sook with a Messiah complex.
Second, Putin couldn't tear him a new one because he's already a total a*sehole.

Our PM is living proof of the Peter Principle.

 

[Ralphy1]

Wow! Bring back the hussy!

 

[QuickSilver]

Ah..... the Peter Prinicle... Everyone rises to the level of his own incompetence

Love how the guy describes it as an "inconvenience" which is much softer way of saying you are screwed, we can do what we want.

It's ISIS today tomorrow it could be Disney characters. And right now all the intelligence and tactics are being to fight the big bad of ISIS but what becomes of those same tactics and intelligence stock pile of information when there is no ISIS. Don't think they'll be put on a shelf someone where. Even worse are the current crop of government types early in their career, these will be on the only tactics and policy they know, they literally won't know any better.

So what do you suggest,? sit back & wait & see how big & bad Isis is or could be.

The beginning of a spreading epidemic of lost freedoms? Will North Korea begin to look 'normal' one day?

Gee whiz, and just think, our generation grew up with hearing stories of Russia's feared KGB's knocking at doors in the dark of night and here we are seeing another democratic country beginning to employ similar tactics, as in arresting without charges, etc.,

Thought you might enjoy this cartoon about the Showdown at the G20 Saloon.

The pianist with the Shreklike ears is our treasurer, the bar floosie is our foreign minister and, well, you can guess the main protagonists.

 

[Ralphy1]

You are a sick lot...

 

[Warrigal]

Some are sicker than others

 

[Ralphy1]

Yike! Enough, enough!

 

[Warrigal]

All of a sudden the G20 Leaders Summit is getting very interesting.
A bit like a political Hunger Games.

At least, one can hope.

 

[Ralphy1]

You should stick to visits from Oprah...

 

[Warrigal]

She won't come back. We stranded her on top of the Harbour Bridge for half an hour.
Like Queen Victoria, she was NOT amused.

[Ralphy1]

You must be careful, should she return, to treat the most important American woman better...

 

[Warrigal]

What do you mean? That was better.
Most asylum seekers end up on Nauru.

 

[Ralphy1]

Do I have to Giggle Nauru or can you just tell me about it?

 

[Warrigal]

Nauru is a small island that consists almost entirely of guano.
It's tropical.

That's all there is to tell.

 

[Ralphy1]

Doesn't that pretty much describe OZ? That's what we were taught in school...

 

[Warrigal]

Hmmn Nauru



Australia

You could have a point there. Both are penal colonies when it is all boiled down and both are islands.

 

[Ralphy1]

My geography teacher did well by me...

Speaking of Penile..... Wonder if Putin does the Brazilian... OH.... you wrote Penal.... My bad
