Shaking my fist at those wretched and criminal nabobs

What the Australian government would actually like to do is implement Chinese style censorship across the entire internet. Brutal attack on free speech. If only there was some kind of "Liberal Party" that could oppose this

Point of starting with children is so they can accuse anyone opposed to online speech controls of being a pedophile. Obviously this affects everyone, underage or not

Entire Australian political establishment in lockstep on destroying online anonymity so they can more effectively police your criticisms of the government

Never understood why they did this - wouldn't the show be vastly more interesting if he was actually forced into it and didn't have other options

Right we have to consider all the angles

If you change back 5 years into bird are you now physically 80 as a human

I think largely conventional centre right economics are underrated and Labor in the long run will probably spend too much money. In order to mitigate this risk we need an Australian political party that stands in some way for the highly successful philosophy known as "Liberalism"

Young Australians have zero interest in any sort of nationalist/reactionary political formation as we are largely not racists and do not wish to see our friends getting deported

Ignoring the possibility that the Western proletariat would have greeted them as liberators and risen up in glorious rebellion against their fat cat capitalist opressors

Felt obliged to make them over into a sort of rival adventuring party. You could easily turn them into PCs - run a game as island traders aboard the Alert exploring the Pacific

Lovecraft in The Call of Cthulhu racistly describes the Alert as being "manned by a queer and evil-looking crew of Kanakas and half-castes" - became interested in the question of who these guys actually were

Captain Nowhere Mollusc gods. Lemurian jade slabs. Pitcairn mutineers. New Hebrides cargo cultists. Eerie crew of the Alert.

Captain Nowhere.

Lemurian jade slabs stolen from museum. Mollusc gods. Immortal priests. Convicts. Communards. Cargo cultists. Eerie crew of the Alert. Last of the Rapa Nui birdmen. The Rasputin of the Pacific. Thursday October Christian III.

Thank you for standing up against the NGO mafia Will... sorry you got rolled by these crooks and their slush funds

Note that the Asaro Mudmen started doing it in the 1950s for tourists... ancient indigenous traditions often a fair bit younger than you think. Aboriginal dot painting invented in the 1970s for example
