Armaments madness

In response to an article in todays Australian about a government push to increase our arms exports, a reader sent in the following comment:

"It's pretty ironic that a government determined to disarm its own population wants to manufacture and export guns while actively destabilising its own society with tens of thousands of unassimilable immigrants steeped in a culture of violence.

We then compound the problem by ignoring their violent crimes while handing them huge welfare payments which enable them to sit indolently in ghettos, supporting Jihad and breeding at 5 times the national average.

Where's the incentive to make an effort to learn English, take up a trade, and pull their economic weight? Their only incentive is to vote for more welfare, which is why the extreme Left virtue signallers imported them here in the first place. Make no mistake - they were invited by the ALP and the Greens, with piles of taxpayer funded sugar on the table.

We have been groomed by our craven "leaders" to believe that Islamic terrorism, shootings, bombings and knifings in the street are now "normal". Well, they aren't!

We are daily lied to by our politicians and their poodle police, that there are no feral black, yes, I said Black, gangs roaming our suburbs while a fearful population cower in their own homes as these imported ferals destroy our morale, our confidence, our cohesion and our infrastructure.

If an Australian were to walk down the street today with a rifle slung over his shoulder, as used to be the case not so long ago but is now ILLEGAL, the public have been groomed to call the police in a panic, instead of seeing it as a reassuring sight that this country is safe, secure and confident.

This insidious fear has been inculcated by the leftist PC attacks on our self confidence. We now live in a manufactured state of fear while the Left exploit it for votes.

If you're allowed a gun at all, it must be concealed at all times, locked away dismantled in case the owner might be able to access it for the defence of his family, and of course the MSM continues to demonise legitimate gun ownership as something sinister, evil and dangerous when in fact Australia's legal gun owners are the very pillars of our society - tax paying, traditional, and conservative. The antithesis of the inner city latte set of inner city Australia.

We should be teaching our children to have a moral compass, to achieve and to compete, to speak their minds freely, to respect the views of others, to learn to shoot, to stand up for traditional Western values, and for themselves. That's what gave the British the strength to rule the world, made the Americans independent, and allowed the Western nations - at great cost - to be free.

Instead we have been made fearful, timid and cowardly, fed the lie that only the very politicians who caused our craven PC condition are now the only ones who can "save" us, while their neutered police are barred from policing and our leftist infiltrated legal system puts violent criminals, rapists and murderers like Monis, and Adrian Ernest Bailey and uncountable others, loose to prey on our civilians.

Wake up Australia! The progressives - Liberals, ALP and Greens - are leading Australian society and its values to destruction.

The feminist war on attractive women heats up

Feminist shrieks describing as sexism the employment of attractive women is getting results

The Australian Grand Prix will be the first Formula One event without grid girls after the governing body decided they weren't 'appropriate or relevant' to the competition.

Grid girls have been a mainstay of each event for years, holding the driver's names and numbers above their car prior to races, lining the hallway to the podium for the successful racers and joining the winners on stage for the post-race festivities.

Jane Stewart, the managing director of Promotional Models Australia and former grid girl, told Daily Mail Australia F1 is the more 'glamorous' sector for models and she is 'concerned' for the ramifications the decision could have on the industry.

'The grid girls are the complete package when it comes to Formula One, it is very different to Superbikes or ring card girls, the way they're dressed is conservative,' Ms Stewart said.

'It is going to affect the sport, and they also need to take into account from a models perspective these girls choose to do the job.' 

Grid girls have been a mainstay of each event for years, holding the driver's names and numbers above their car prior to races, lining the hallway to the podium for the successful racers and joining the winners on stage for the post-race festivities

F1 decided grid girls have no place in its future, releasing a statement Wednesday saying they would no longer feature the models.

'While the practice of employing grid girls has been a staple of Formula 1 grands prix for decades, we feel this custom does not resonate with our brand values and clearly is at odds with modern day societal norms,' commercial operations managing director Sean Bratches said.

We don't believe the practice is appropriate or relevant to Formula 1 and its fans, old and new, across the world.' 

PMA employs 1,500 models across Australia and Ms Stewart said whenever the F1 grid girls come up she is inundated with applications. 'Every girl wants to be a grid girl, They love it. It's glamorous, it's renowned,' she told Daily Mail Australia.

'These jobs from a models perspective is in high demand. This is every model's dream, put them on the grid, it sets up their career.'    

The ongoing presences of the glamorous models had come under review in recent months, with the internationals darts competition making the decision to stop the use of women often in little clothing.

Formula One had recently moved away from the over-sexualisation of its grid girls and used models dressed in attire relevant to the culture of the race's nation.

The clothing of the grid girls at Melbourne's Australian Grand Prix saw a huge change in 2017,  with plunging necklines and black leather as seen in years gone by replaced by green and white playsuits.

Jane Stewart, the managing director of Promotional Models Australia and former grid girl, told Daily Mail Australia F1 is the more 'glamorous' sector for models and she is 'concerned' for the ramifications the decision could have on the industry.

'The grid girls are the complete package when it comes to Formula One, it is very different to Superbikes or ring card girls, the way they're dressed is conservative,' Ms Stewart said.

'It is going to affect the sport, and they also need to take into account from a models perspective these girls choose to do the job.'

PMA employs 1,500 models across Australia and Ms Stewart said whenever the F1 grid girls come up she is inundated with applications.

'Every girl wants to be a grid girl, They love it. It's glamorous, it's renowned,' she told Daily Mail Australia.

It is not known yet whether the other major motorsport codes will make the same decision.

Daily Mail Australia has contacted V8 Supercars and Australian Superbike Championship for comment.

 The Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne, which begins on March 25, will be the first without the models.

Top reason Australians are quitting the workforce: High cost of childcare forces more than 100,000 parents to stay home

A direct result of government legislation requiring a big staff of overeducated people in each centre

Nearly 120,000 parents aren't working because child care is too expensive or they can't find a spot.

The high price of child care was the top reason cited for Australians who weren't in the labour force because they were looking after children, government data released on Thursday shows.

One in three, or 95,700, said this was the case for them, while another 21,700 said there was either no childcare service nearby or no spots available.

That's more than those who said they were stay-at-home parents because they preferred to look after their children that way - a reason given by 77,600.

The Federal Government hopes its new childcare subsidy system, which starts in July, will let many of these parents be able to take up work.

Education Minister Simon Birmingham estimates the overhaul will help an extra 230,000 families get back to work or take on more hours.

The Productivity Commission report shows the most parents saying stiff fees were a barrier to returning to work were in the Northern Territory and Queensland.

However, Queensland had the lowest median cost of daycare in the country - at $400 a week or $80 a day - and the NT was the third lowest.

Parents in Queensland also had the lowest out-of-pocket costs after government subsidies, across all income brackets.

The ACT had the highest fees, with a median weekly cost of $545 for long day care.

Under the new childcare support system, taxpayers will only pay subsidies for fees up to a maximum of $11.55 an hour ($115.50 a day or $577 for a full week).

In 2017, none of the median fees charged in any state was higher than this, however, the data does not reveal what the most expensive services cost and how many there are above this maximum level.

The middle level of fees in the ACT was $10.90 an hour.

The end of recycling

Recycling in Victoria is on the brink of collapse, with councils facing having to stockpile millions of tonnes of waste - or dump it in landfill - as a China export ban begins to bite.

Several councils have already had recycling contracts cut off, with the Municipal Association of Victoria warning the problem could soon spread to the entire state.

The Chinese town of Giuyu used to be a dumping ground for the world's trash. Now China has banned imports of foreign waste to crack down on its own chronic pollution problem.

Experts said any solution would be expensive, with ratepayers likely to be slugged if the crisis takes hold.

The recycling industry has been warning for some time that a decision by China – our largest export destination for recycling – to ban waste imports would have a catastrophic impact on the sector, possibly making it unviable.

Those warnings came home to roost this week. Recycling giant Visy told Wheelie Waste, a bin collector that services 11 councils in Victoria’s west including Greater Shepparton, Macedon Ranges, Horsham and Ararat, that it would stop accepting council recycling on February 9.

The company cited China’s ban as the reason for the move. Wheelie Waste declined to comment, and Visy did not respond to requests for comment.

The Age understands several other councils have also been told they will lose service. "We think ultimately there’s a potential for them all to be affected," Municipal Association of Victoria CEO Rob Spence said. "This is just the beginning of  the potential impacts."

"Europe has not yet learned how to be multicultural. And I think we are going to be part of the throes of that transformation, which must take place. Europe is not going to be the monolithic societies that they once were in the last century. Jews are going to be at the center of that. It's a huge transformation for Europe to make. They are now going into a multicultural mode, and Jews will be resented because of our leading role. But without that leading role, and without that transformation, Europe will not survive."

Its not just Europe. They are NOT our friends.
