A man who travels to Turkey each year to wear an Australian flag cape and sing Waltzing Matilda in honour of fallen diggers he’s never met, says it’s well past time for Indigenous Australians to move on from the events of over a century ago. Brad Bailey, who also visits the battlefields in Ypres as part of his annual trip, said some people had become fixated on events that occurred years ago that can’t be changed now. “Yes, some bad things happened. But we don’t need to be constantly reminded of it decades later. What’s next? An annual march down...

People in Melbourne have gathered in bars, cafes and restaurants across the city to be oppressed for one final time before they are freed from a ruthless regime that has ruled over them for almost a decade. Walking through the city while being forced to enjoy a range of shopping and eating options, Melburnian Tim Samson said he was looking forward to finally having his freedom back. “I might go to the football or an art gallery or a musical this weekend. But then I did that last weekend, so I’m not really sure how to celebrate,” he said. Tourists visiting...

Up to 40,000 journalists are without work after newspaper The Herald Sun announced it would be closing its Dan Andrews division, due to changing market conditions. The division produced up to eleven thousand stories a day about the Victorian Premier. Herald Sun staff held out hopes that the sub departments ‘The Dan Andrews Mornington Peninsula Staircase Investigative Division’ and ‘Dan’s Car Crash From 2013 Conspiracy Unit’ – which together employ 18,000 journalists – would avoid the cuts. A spokesperson for the newspaper said he was optimistic that some staff could be re-assigned to other teams. “We do have some openings on...

Victoria will say thank you to its longest-serving Labor Premier with a quick six-day lockdown which will end up lasting the best part of four months. Victorian authorities said the celebration of Andrews’ career will last as long as it takes. “We don’t want to rush this. Stay tuned for daily updates,” a spokesperson said. Trevor Taylor from Broadmeadows said he was looking forward to paying his respects to Andrews from the comfort of his 5km radius. “When I think of Dan Andrews, I think of sitting in my house for 22 hours a day, before accidentally going outside to put...

A man who spent the better part of three years researching the connection between pizza parlours, child trafficking, Hunter Biden and infectious diseases, says a four-word sign is all he needs to decide about an Indigenous Voice to Parliament.  The man, who once watched a 13-hour video about Bill Gates’s involvement in COVID-19, said he didn’t have time to read a one page Uluṟu statement. “That could take minutes to read,” he said. “Unless it’s presented in an eight-part dash-cam recorded video series, I don’t have the time to look into it. “This Voice thing all seems suspiciously complex,” said the...

Disgraced public servant Michael Pezzullo has stood down from his role as Home Affairs Secretary and will work as a partner at accounting firm PwC while an investigation into his conduct takes place. PwC said Pezzullo, who is accused of misusing his role to influence Government decision-making, will fit right in at the firm. “Michael has a proven track record in misunderstanding the words ‘confidential’, ‘impartiality’ and ‘honesty’. We’re looking forward to sharing his classified Government information with our clients,” a spokesperson said. The spokesperson said Pezzullo shared a love of spinning absolute bullshit. “Pezzullo once said ‘An apolitical public service...

Saying he wanted to bring a more progressive perspective to the network, Lachlan Murdoch has appointed Tony Abbott to the Fox News board, with the former PM’s views on same-sex marriage, abortion and race relations likely to ruffle a few feathers amongst Fox viewers. “A lot of our viewers think that someone who has an abortion should be executed, whereas Tony only thinks they should go to Hell. So he really will give people a more compassionate, nuanced view. I’m looking forward to the contest of ideas,” Murdoch said. He said Abbott’s perspective would be useful on a lot of different...
