Playing shag, marry, kill is not sexist, it’s about sex.
Albo committed a political crime, not a feminist one.
The yuck factor is learning far too much about his political brain. Here he was calculating that if he played sex word games with a female podcaster, he might be seen to be cool by young female voters who he reckons might play the same game. If I am right about that, we can surely settle on this: Anthony Albanese is a moron. He has exposed himself as a desperate, conniving fool. …
[Feminists?] Faux outrage went viral. … Shag, marry, kill, is a girls’ game. It’s been played by women and girls for as long as I’ve known. If boys played it, they wouldn’t bother with marry or kill. It would be: who’d ya shag?
Australia’s ruling class have put on a world-class display of antisemitism :
Throughout my 26-year career as an Israeli diplomat I have never seen such levels of hatred of Israel, and of Jews, as I experience and witness here in Australia.
I served as ambassador in two Muslim countries. Yet I did not see these levels of hatred. The non-radicalised and unpoliticised Muslims understood the issues and showed more understanding than the obsessive herds on the streets of Australia calling for Israel’s annihilation and protesting against Israel’s existence.
The real problem was that he was sitting on a couch at The Lodge, sipping whisky with a comic alter ego, waiting to be asked inappropriate questions. PMs don’t accidentally wander into these formats.
What was the Prime Minister thinking? Judgement awry:
Unfortunately, for the PM, it didn’t go as planned. His smutty banter turned TikToxic once it was transcribed. Nobody wants to read that the PM schedules sex after the footy because a win for the Rabbitohs, is ‘a good aphrodisiac’, or that if his recent marriage to Jodie Haydon goes ‘tits up’, he’d ‘shag, marry or date’ Kylie Minogue. There were jokes about Aboriginal Australians populating the country in a place called HumpyBong, and whether Jodie talked about Iron Knob. The nadir was Albanese recounting how the Japanese Prime Minister gave him ‘a couple of melons’, using hand gestures to turn the diplomatic gift into a sleazy double entendre.
A new era of teaching in Australian schools launched last month. Through lesson-provider Cool.org, teachers can now create their own tailored lessons via artificial intelligence engines. This input will produce in ten seconds a teacher’s 4500-word plan of scripts, notes and kids’ worksheets, all neatly keyed to state or federal curricula.
The bad news is that the AI slop arrives steeped in green-left influence aimed at turning kids into know-all activists and campaigners for Aboriginal treaties and wind turbines. …
Since Cool was started by the multi-millionaire Just Jeans’ Kimberley clan in 2008, around 200,000 teachers have done close to 20 million lesson downloads. Currently these scripts reach 2.5 million kids per year. Close to 95% of all schools have at least one teacher downloading Cool material. Most of it is harmless, even beneficial, but anything faintly political gets the green-left makeover.
