Mr Abbott is on his feet doing a brilliant job but being assaulted by shadows. Mr Abbott's speech on Monday regarding essential security issues Australia faces has been dismissed and sidelined by the media focused on the flags that stood behind him. The press have not been diverted by flags in the past. Not when Obama stood in front of multiple flags, not when Rudd did so. But consider the actual issues raised by Mr Abbott which the press sidelined and which the ALP failed to address in parliament by playing dumb games. Australia faces savage totalitarian jihadism from criminals, mentally ill and ALP supported scum trying to come to Australia without basic vetting. Security forces have advised the PM of what needs to be done for them to work effectively. ASIO is investigating more than 400 potential terror cells which are deemed more dangerous than the Lindt Cafe killer. The number of terrorism related arrests is growing quickly. The number of terrorist threats has doubled in a year. More than 110 Australians have gone to fight with the ISIL death cult and 30 have returned having been trained in jihadism. Most of the jihadists leaving Australian shores have been on welfare. One can tell how effective Mr Abbott's speech was by the way terrorist advocates like Hizb ut-Tahrir have attacked it. they said “continues the disingenuous approach of western states of seeking to alter the victim-aggressor paradigm”.
Mr Morrison has stood on his feet today at the National Press Club lunch, talking about Welfare reform which is needed. He spoke of structural reform, not penny pinching, but questions by the media were nasty penny pinching types. It is telling the ALP are engaged in misrepresenting the reforms. Headlines suggest the reforms will leave people on welfare worse off, which is not true. But the need to fix the budget is important. Mr Morrison is not avoiding hard work, or tough choices. But the press and ALP are avoiding reality.
Irrelevant Hollywood showcased in Oscars with best picture going to the intense navel gazing of Birdman but not the more worthy American Sniper or Boyhood. Opinion is subjective, but a film about Hollywood should never trump the subject matter of either rival, given the execution of both was also superior. The calculated insult to conservatives did not end there. Joan Rivers who passed during the year was not memorialised. She was a conservative, although that never impeded her performances.
Irrelevant AGW hysteric resigns after being caught failing to worship his religion of AGW hysteria. Pachauri has been accused of sexual harassment. His resignation letter admitted his belief in AGW theory was religious in nature, not scientific.

Before the world had heard of the best known Australian of all time, Community Channel aka Natalie Tyler Tran, there was another celebrity the world knew as Australian. Today, the most known Australian in the world, easily identifiable with her friendly false "Hi!" and ethnic Vietnamese features is a twenty something girl who has the heart and soul of Jane Austen. She rules at youtube. But on this day thirteen years ago, we lost the icon known as Donald George Bradman. Both personages are exceptional, leaving one proud to be Australian. Don was a talented, gifted cricketer, an excellent administrator and a generous philanthropist. The love of his life, Jesse, remained his wife from marriage to death. He lived under a fierce public glare. Everyone seems to have a family connection with a Don story. My grandmother remembers him walking down a street with his boy, and being strict. A former colleague of mine tells a story of his father being in a cafe, and the Don was reading a paper. It is ok to die old, surrounded by loved ones, and he managed it. Our Don Bradman.
The first African American US President is Obama. The first African American congressman was a GOP man, Hiram Rhodes Revels. Obama is like the person who stood for nothing, falling for anything. Hiram was a man of substance. Born free, Hiram was an early organiser of coloured regiments in the civil war. He was chaplain to a regiment. After politics, he became a college president, lecturing in philosophy. He warned US Grant of the carpet baggers who assumed the black vote, which was GOP until FDR exploited it for the Dems.
There are such things as cultural assets. They build the community. Making the members of the community resilient in times of strife. I won't give up, because Don Bradman wouldn't. So Don is a cultural asset. There is a modern movement which disparages cultural assets and corrodes community values. It promotes a minority over the community. The thinking is wrong. Minorities are important. But the community is more important. If you build the community, the minority will be well cared for. It is similar with economic thought. If you build wealth, the poor can become affluent. Something to think about on the day that we lost The Don, and in which we elected a good man.

Mr Ball, I will not sign your petition as it will do no good, but I will share your message and ask as many of friends who read it, to share it also. Let us see if we cannot use the power of the internet to spread the word of these infamous killings. As a father and a former soldier, I cannot, could not, justify ignoring this appalling action by the perpetrators, whoever they may; I thank you Douglas. You are wrong about the petition. Signing it is as worthless and meaningless an act as voting. A stand up guy would know that. - ed
