I think poor Clarey has found out the hard way, that there is a big difference between banging on about the problems of the NT on ABC radio and having to govern, make decisions and solve problems.
There is nothing Territorians hate more than having Canberra exert any control over the NT, let alone marching in and taking control.
I don’t think they’ll forgive her for this, nor should they.
Well, colour me gobsmacked!
A cartoon like Spooner’s in the Age ????
Those popping sounds you can hear in the distance are the lefty heads exploding in Melbourne’s chic inner city cafes.

Imagine what Leunig’s take will be…incoherent, as usual.
He probably won’t have a response. He’s never really done political satire as all he knows how to draw are ducks and it will be difficult to draw an aboriginal duck without it looking like this.
The Spice Girls re-united. Paris freed. Flannery pronounced “an idiot”.
All things considered it had been a good week, deserving of a drink.

I imagine that Leunig’s piece will go something like this:
I was beaten at school by a man who looked like John Howard, how true it is that our desert kin are treated today as my errant schoolmaster treated me. I sat in a field thinking of why our world isn’t run by ducks. Ducks dont hate, hit or drink alcohol. Why can’t we all be like the brown skinned turkish man who hands me an equally brown coloured coffee each morning? Brown ducks, thats what our Aborigines are, all they need is some corn and
a good rootinga bit of warm, affectionate love.Long-time Spooner watchers will not be surprised by this cartoon. While he has done his share of Howard-bashing cartoons, he is not a knee-jerk leftist. He’s particularly clear on Islamic fascism, and has done a number of strong drawings puncturing the useful-idiot pacifism and anti-Americanism of the elite left. Spooner has amassed such cred that even the snivelling munchkin who now runs the Age wouldn’t dare touch him. The same, alas, goes for Leunig.

ABC RN ‘Oz Talks’ on now:
It’s your ABC
As part of the ABC’s 75th anniversary celebrations, Aunty’s managing director, Mark Scott, will be the main guest on Australia Talks. Mark has agreed to handle your questions and comments about the future direction of your ABC.Presenter to MD: ABC staff object to screening TGGWS ... FFS! ...
Spooner perfectly captured my feelings when I read Brown’s comments.
Hope it is turning point in Brown’s fortunes. A lot of people vote Green because they have been made to feel guilty with all this climate change crap. It is like voting “D.Duck”, a harmless protest that will have no effect on the scheme of things. But people might now view Brown is an evil little prick. There are plenty of other vote-wasters to choose from without picking that arsehole’s party.
I agree with Noel Pearson, a man who has deeply impressed me for many years. Some action, ANY action, is better than continued inaction.
Watching corrupt incompetents, spivs, liars, cheats, thieves and rapists from the dismal failure that was ATSIC on the TV whining about this action, to do something about a situation for which THEY were responsible as it happened on THEIR watch, made me sick in the guts. Now we have this disgusting excuse for a human being, the worthless waste of protoplasm and leader of the soy-latte mafia, the pederast Bob Brown, arguing along with the people responsible for doing nothing about this mess as it developed that no action is a better alternative.
The ATSIC scum and Brown all deserve to be triced to the triangles and flogged.

Well said, MarkL.
Money and manpower have been thrown at this problem for years; the people I am most angry with are the ones who had the power to help, and the money, yet feathered their own nests. And now they are decrying the plan by JWH to fix the problem.They don’t WANT the problems fixed. It’s their industry of employment.
The left are forced to listen to Noel Pearson, even when he says things they don’t like, because he’s black. A white man who says the same things can easily be dismissed. That’s why Bill Cosby in the US got away with saying the things he said to the African-American community. No white person could ever say those things without being vilified as a racist, even though what they are saying is identical.

Precisely. But not just because of the racism angle. There was also all that post-modernist crap about not being able to understand a culture (and therefore having no right to comment on it) if you haven’t grown up within it.
The other good things about Noel Pearson are that he’s male (Aboriginal culture is very misogynistic and male power within it has been augmented by the habit white public officials have had of assuming that male/female power relationships within Aboriginal society were the same as those of mainstream society) and he’s well educated so can’t be cowed by the lofty disdain of dimwit academics.
He’s exactly what was needed to cut through all the lefty do-gooder crap.

So, it was your idea all along Clare ?
That cartoon is a gem.
A small, bald, bespectacled old man standing between a drunk, armed with a big waddy and a decked woman, while the purse lipped wowser stands out of harms way, pointing and whingeing.
What an irrelevant, ineffectual, mincing old queen you are Bob Brown.
