I’m still against anything that fuckhead Albasneezy wants after his statement: if he had his way to lead Australia, abolishing all states, banning social media and being a dictator.
Might as well move to fucking North Korea if he thinks like that
Not doing a single thing pro active to help the dire situation in the primary production industry also gives me a big fuck you buddy.
Aw I mean. Let’s at least be clear with the facts.
He said if he was a dictator he would like to ban social media.
He did not say he would like to be a dictator, in fact he condemned dictatorships in the next breath.
While the way he said such a thing was worrying, he was correct with the why, I think. Just anyone can lie on social media, and spread misinformation. Then, because not every Australian citizen is 100% up to date with the politics news (who could be, in this age?), they do the very normal human thing and trust what their fellow man on social media is saying.
Hmmmm… Yeah, I’ve been a veggo on and off for 9 years… mostly on. Just puttin’ this out there…
Hasn’t shrunk my nuts, stopped me riding hard, hasn’t turned me into a bleeding heart liberal, rabid right winger or a pious whinger, haven’t lost my interest in firearms, drinking at the pub with my mates, rockin’ out at gigs and certainly haven’t become anemic.
Not all veggos are limp examples of humanity beating others over the head with self-righteous rhetoric. It’s the ones that bleat about their veggie status that give the silent majority a bad rep.
My missus is the same. Top gal, I eat meat on the near daily and all she’s done about it is share her kickass lentil curries, and bean chillis when I’ve been in a vege mood.
I’m just angry with current gov. They do nothing. Businesses are going broke left right and centre.
WoolCholes post 1.6BILLION profits while all of you pay $51 for a leg of lamb I the producer can’t even fucking sell. Now I have to fork out more money to keep them alive on the hope I can sell them eventually.
Where’s PIRSA and the animal welfare league now? Why are they not condemning the euthanisation and shooting of thousands of stock that farmers can’t afford to feed. They don’t plan to feed them as it’s planned they get sold. Every year except '91 '92. At least the then again Labour gov paid each farmer $6/hd for shooting them. Not now get nothing but a bill.
Yeah that’s honestly a fair point of view to have and I fully respect you for it. You’re not wrong that you’re kind of getting hung out to dry, and I wouldn’t blame you for not voting Labor next election.
I’ll still be putting then as #2, after Shooters and Fishers (who seem to at least have the rural working man as their priority). But that’s what I love about Australia. We aren’t beholden to that divisive seppo nonsense.
We can still respect each other when we disagree on the best outcomes for the most people. Because ultimately, that’s what we both want. What’s best for those most in need. And right now a sizeable part of that is the small time Aussie livestock farmer.
It just shits me, average people like yourself, the prices on the shelf are absolutely ridiculous.
Even when 1 year ago I was getting good price for a 26kg live weight lamb at $100/hd. Then they have four legs of lamb each and they were retailing for around $20-25 ea. Then you have your favoured loin chops, ribs, neck, shanks etc etc (I’m not a pro butcher) so of course transport that I pay for comes out of that $100. Then it gets butchered and packaged so cost there, then transported to the shelves in your local coolies.
For it to all change in 6 months and covid can not be blamed what’s changed? I blame coolies for the most part being unrestricted in their pricing, but also the Gov for not doing anything about it which they damn well can and have done in the past.
Average Joe Aussie citizen is not buying as much home grown meat at the moment as it’s bloody expensive.
The live export by boat thing will officially be cancelled by the Ag minister by the end of this month by the looks(edit actually it has been extended to Oct 25 far out ), he does have the power to overturn the Govs policy of stopping it but it doesen’t look good. The event where a couple thousand died in 2017 during transport from Australia was a freak weather incident but also that countries poor handling of the stock. The market crashed I lost a heap of money as I sold lambs when that broke. $10/ head. The calls were thick and heavy to ban that then, but the in power gov kept it going thank christ and sales bounced back soon after. With some immediate stipulations like 30 extra on board vetinarians. But really what can you do when Australia does not even own the ships. It’s the purchasing countries ship they send over to pick up the livestock. It’s on them when it leaves our shores.
Anyway a sore topic for me. Shits me to tears. I’m done with my disgust in politics. Dutton can get fucked too, he’s turned into a rambling idiot of late. I used to like him as defence minister as he did some great things for the ADF, sole reason we are now starting to receive new blackhawks to replace those taipan heaps of eurotrash.
Anyway, FUCKING LOVELY DAY out here!! It’s Friday, jobs are done time for a nice cold beer and soak up the sun.
Going down to the Murray tonight to try and yank a redfin out. My brother said the fish are jumping out if the damn water, at sundown. View is gonna be gorgeous.
Worse comes to worse, hoping to catch a carp for the kitty. Reckon he’d have a blast devouring one of those.
Hey had anyone had luck selling on facebook? I put up a wetech a while back on here with not much luck. My mums down looking after my kids for the next week of school holidays and offered to seĺl stuff for us on facebook. So did up an ad, and it got knocked back. Did the same as others on facebook and drew all over image with (toy gel blaster) and tried again and no deal. Wtf
Facebook won’t let me list gel blasters… against Facebook standards, they say. Even though other people seem to have no problem listing them.
So over fucking Marketplace… every ad I put up for guitars or amps draws three or four scammers, then nothing for a few days, then the serious buyers come out. They’re either working in the mines out west, out of town or unwell and want to send their brother or the UPS guy around after a PayID transaction. The conversation dies after a “Cash on pickup only” message.
If I have to tell one more buyer from Azerbaijan, Lithuania or Alaska to fuck off, I’m gonna shut down my profile… fuckers!
Yeah so just got back from gym turns out the second ad got her banned as well. For frk sake. Yeah thats what i dont get, others have ads up. Why a double standard? May have to have an old school garage sale .
Yeah i know what you mean with scammers, i get the same on gumtree, but have not sold anything in a good while. But had that crap with our car recently.
