The old boy's just toosh we've resolved our differences and moved on.

Stopped the boats, signed up to net zero, accepted our multicultural foundations, elected teal independents and put Rupert's Culture Wars out to pasture.

You've gotta feel for him. No matter how much he tries to play racist wedge politics,  nobody cares. We've moved on.

The old boy's stuck promoting nuclear power as an alternative, just screaming desperation.

There there, old boy. If you ever get bored, you don't have to stay. You can always go back to where you came from.

Benefactors and prospective students are plainly running a mile from the University of Sydney, whose brand has been trashed by management over its deadlocked negotiations with students protesting the war in Gaza. The standoff reached a nadir a week ago – although we’re cautious about speaking too soon – when the Muslim Students Association claimed victory over vice-chancellor Mark Scott and other university officials, announcing a deal with several concessions. The most appalling, most craven, in this series of capitulations is that the MSA will be given a seat on a working group that reviews university investment policies.

We can only imagine the fissures in the university leadership that led to this abomination
. And it might also explain why the institution, so captured by its own timidity, has finally sought external advice on how to manage this palaver. Margin Call hears that it’s tapped Sue Cato, of Cato & Clive Partners, for advice and, seemingly, to try to rehabilitate the university’s battered image. Good luck with that! The retainer would have to be enormous.

First task for Cato could be to try to convince university leaders to rip up their dodgy deal with the MSA, a group with questionable ties to Hizb ut-Tahrir (a proscribed terrorist organisation in much of the world). But, given the brain-drain of sensible thinking by some at the top, something tells us that won’t be happening anytime soon.



The hate-filled terror apologists who crawled out like cockroaches from under rocks are given a seat at the table by a university.
By another craven, cowardly university.

So many fractures being created by 'authorities' - and so many useless idiots who screech and make bonobo gestures at those of us who seek to close the gaps and keep our country whole.....

Funny thing - my views posted here, when posted in other places - get universal applause and support - here I get the dogs with fleas pretending to be intellectuals.... Souf East Queenslunders... Billy Jack's Houso Central ...

Below is the trap into which both Labor and LNP - along with the Splitters - have fallen over the past fifty years or so.... and it's not just about ethnic groups.... it's also about women, even children, Aborigines (home-grown efnic group), even work values that have changed the landscape workwise .... not to mention our style of government which has lunged enthusiastically towards a Neo-feudal style to suit itself and is something that rings so well with many ethnic groups who come from those kinds of backward countries (only here can they aspire to become the ruling elite or part thereof, and they grab the chance with both hands)...

I still have to chortle over that Indian lass who did my eye test - it's all right for anyone to come here from Nowheresville Rice Paddy Empire and get what they can because that's the way things are and those who end up on Tent City Row unable to compete or find a place in their own country are second class at best - worthless Australians too lazy and stupid to not lollygag in the warm sun all day ...  but these same people 'educated' here criticise the past treatment of and impositions on Aborigines of New Settlers reaming a living and a household out of the virgin bush, and then considering that those who ended up on Humpy City Row were worthless........ in other words - it's all right for the New Australians to tear a chunk off because that's the way of things  and it is a right to prosper - but it wasn't right for the Early Settlers to tear a chunk off and build the joint hoping to prosper without being killed or dying early .....

Gotta scratch your head at that kind of (lack of) mentality.... alief - the ability to hold two utterly conflicting beliefs in the mind at the one time.... and then still get it wrong.... got a few of those around here.... in the houses of learning they outnumber the sane people by a light year or two ... kinda like a Hollywood star with some exotic animal pet - they KNOW that thing could turn and kill them.... but they like to strut it as a family pet and safe around the tasty infants anyway....

Bloody complete idiots if you ask me...

Fifth column
Does high immigration pose a security threat?


If only everyday Australians knew that only by yelling allahu akbar loud enough, even in a Western democratic, Judeo-Christian country, will our institutions give you what you want. Yet this is exactly what occurred as the powers at Sydney University capitulated to a group of campus jihadists with alleged links to a terrorist group Hizb ut-Tahrir, by granting them access to defence and security research.

Whether you take pledge one or two of Australia’s citizenship oath the intent is the same. You are pledging loyalty to Australia and its people, ‘whose democratic beliefs I share, whose rights and liberties I respect and whose laws I will uphold and obey’.Except now, our democracy is being infiltrated, cultivated, and co-opted by some of the most anti-democratic, anti-Western, anti-Christian forces in the world. According to the ABS, China now represents the second-largest state of origin for migrants to Australia. This trend is expected to escalate.


A 2015 Pew Research Centre study forecast a global surge in the Muslim population, with Australia and New Zealand among the nations expected to see the biggest rises. It is estimated the number of Muslims in Australia will grow four times more quickly than non-Muslims over the next 20 years. This is not an attack on individual Muslims, especially those who fled extremism. Yet, as evolutionary psychologist Gad Saad asks, ‘Does the Islamisation of a society lead to more freedom, more liberty, and greater individual dignity?’ Ultimately, these principles and all the little freedoms are what our Aukus submarines are designed to protect.

The Islamic population is now realising its power. Two new websites, The Muslim Vote and Muslim Votes Matter, explain how, ‘we will no longer accept being taken for granted. We are a powerful, united force of nearly 1 million acting in unison. We are focused on seats where the Muslim vote can influence the outcome. We are here for the long term’. Some may argue this is a small percentage of our population. Although T.E. Lawrence (1888-1935), who mobilised the Arab tribes in the first world war against the Turkish, recognised a successful insurgency can be achieved with only two per cent of the population and a passive sympathetic base.


‘First we come for the Saturday people, then we come for Sunday people.’ Whether Islamism or the plans of Xi, these are not single-issue movements – they’re aiming to change our society. We need a whole-of-nation approach to minimise the effects of this strategy.


This phenomenon of using our high immigration policy against us is not isolated to Australia. A December 2021 Financial Times column exposed how Europe is also grappling for ways to respond to weaponised migration alongside other tactics aimed at political and social destabilisation. EU Foreign Policy Chief Joseph Borrell explains, ‘The world is full of hybrid situations where we face intermediate dynamics of competition, intimidation and coercion.’ It’s fourth-generation warfare. In his 1989 Marine Corps Gazette paper, US military theorist William Lind describes how our enemies will co-opt and deploy our own democratic forces against us. Targets would include the enemy’s culture and will to resist the opposing side’s narrative.

In his writings on the second world war, Winston Churchill lamented the fatal fallacies that beset the West during the inter-war period, or what he describes as the locust years (1931 to 1935); the delight of politicians in smooth-sounding platitudes, refusal to face unpleasant facts, desire for popularity and electoral success irrespective of the vital interests of the state. And like many of our political class today, a picture of fatuity and fickleness which though devoid of guile, was not devoid of guilt, and though free from wickedness or evil design, continues to play a definite part in the unleashing upon us of an undesirable society.

When well-educated, privileged Australian politicians and many in mainstream media can find moral equivalency for the atrocities committed by Hamas on 7 October 2023, we know demographic gains have been made by the Islamists since the collapse of the Isis caliphate in Syria and Iraq.

Calculating their electoral interests, many of our political class have been ambiguous in the face of atrocious attacks on Jews, even as their electorate offices are terrorised. Which must have been a shock as they thought apathy would remove them from the Islamists’ hit list. If only they knew the Arab expression, ‘First we come for the Saturday people, then we come for Sunday people.’ Whether Islamism or the plans of Xi, these are not single-issue movements – they’re aiming to change our society. We need a whole-of-nation approach to minimise the effects of this strategy.



Security is more than guns, tanks and fighter jets. Three years before the 9/11 terrorist attacks in the US, two senior serving officers in the People’s Liberation Army, colonels Qiao Liang and Wang Xiangsui, wrote Unrestricted Warfare. In this slim volume, the PLA officers advocate the use of non-military methods of waging war to defeat technologically superior opponents. Recommendations covered disrupting trade, telecommunications and transportation on which the West depends, as well as electricity grids and avenues of information technology (for instance through incessant hacking) including mass media, plus financial and economic manipulation. Now it includes migration. Check out the rise in well-nourished military-aged males with obvious haircuts coming across in the invasion of the US southern border. Aided and abetted by UN-funded Western NGOs with camps along the Central American transit routes.

" these are not single-issue movements "

None of these movements are 'single issue' - been arguing that with Slack Kanga for ages now...

Yes - the silent invasion of immigration........... the steady infiltration of fifth and sixth and seventh columns... and the propaganda war that is creating softlings of our own kids .... ripe for the plucking... wait until they see it .....................

The silence in Grappler's 6 inch thick cranium is broken by the sound of voices warning him of the danger of leftwingers, strangers, immigrants, Muslims, blacks, and all the other he hates.

Grappler is primed and ready to defend his country with his gums if everything else fails.

The only problem is that no country accepts hate-filled bigots. Grappler is bereft, fraught, frentic, anguished, and terrified.

Grappler stimulates his thought by simultaneous scratching of his head and anus and tries to remember which country is his country.

Grappler cries and blubbers.

There lies the port; the vessel puffs her sail:
There gloom the dark, broad seas. My mariners,
Souls that have toil'd, and wrought, and thought with me—
That ever with a frolic welcome took
The thunder and the sunshine, and opposed
Free hearts, free foreheads—you and I are old;
Old age hath yet his honour and his toil;
Death closes all: but something ere the end,
Some work of noble note, may yet be done,
Not unbecoming men that strove with Gods.
The lights begin to twinkle from the rocks:
The long day wanes: the slow moon climbs: the deep
Moans round with many voices. Come, my friends,
'T is not too late to seek a newer world.
Push off, and sitting well in order smite
The sounding furrows; for my purpose holds
To sail beyond the sunset, and the baths
Of all the western stars, until I die.
It may be that the gulfs will wash us down:
It may be we shall touch the Happy Isles.

Australia fractured in 1788 when rapists, murderers, and trained military killers arrived.

The healing has barely started.

The nation is more divided than ever about fundamental values leading to a growing cultural chasm with two sure consequences: it is far more difficult to achieve national interest policies and once a society is split on values then mutual trust quickly evaporates. This is Australia’s plight.


Ok so far, even if written by a Murdock hack; let's see how he defines "values".....

Quote:
The diversity of the chasm reveals its complexity – it includes identity politics, the climate threat, minority rights, rac­ism, environmentalism, educa­tional instruction, Australia’s history, migrant policy, religious freedom and Indigenous justice.


Well, yes; but what about the cost of living crisis, the primary concern of the least well-off HALF of the population?

Quote:
Above all, it is a conflict over morality.[/highlight]


BS and crap. We all want morality, justice, and fairness, but governments everywhere are presiding over cost of living crises which affects half the population badly, while CEOs are laughing all the way to the bank.  At least Trump in the US is willing to break the rules to 'MAGA'; eg low taxes, trade wars, f*ck the debt and deficit; but could he eradicate poverty in the US?

Quote:
That’s what makes it intractable.


No; your comfortable halfwit conservative brain makes it intractable.

Quote:
The driving force is the rejection of the existing moral order.


Read: Judeo-Christian moral order; ok, if governments practiced Christ's commandments: love God and love one-another.

But even now the Oz government is refusing to recognize the Palestinian state, the necessary FIRST step to ending the cycle of violence in the ME.  (Palestine should have been recognized when Israel was recognized, as per UN res 181).

You want to heal the nation's divisions?

Subsidize low income groups to eliminate the cost of living crisis.

All the other stuff: religious differences (and "religious freedom" bs; there is only one god), identity politics, "rights" -poorly defined...eg what about the right to a job, etc ... this OZ writer is a conservative fraud.

Hopefully, Oz isn't as bad as the US, given today's events (Trump assassination attempt) ...even though the writer suggests we ARE as riven as the US.
