I copped hearing racist remarks on TV news reports and in-person (no Internet at home then) because of her and others of her ilk.
During that time, I even wished I was white like my non-Indigenous relatives. That has made a return every now and then, due the recent resurgence in racism

In 1996 Pauline Hanson gave her infamous “Please Explain” interview with 60 minutes … the cringeworthy interview was basically a litany of uninformed complaints. 30 years on Hanson is still prattling on about the same “boogeyman” - what policies or legislation has she drafted?

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

If you’re attending March For White Australia or Brisbane’s White Australia Marches in any capacity other than to protest it, unfollow me. You’re a racist cunt.

Today is 26th of January, officially called 'Australia Day' - the anniversary of European colonisation in Sydney back in 1788.
However people who do not celebrate call it 26th of January, Invasion Day or Survival Day.

End of 2nd.
The good news? We didn’t lose the 2nd.
Both teams exchanged 2 PPG’s.
A little too loose against a #Bruins team that has skill to put the puck in the net. #Monty has been solid.
The trick in the 3rd is to stay aggressive but responsible on the forecheck.

It's going to be a very warm day here (good thing not as hot as Western NSW). I need to get more Zooper Doopers before it's too warm.
I might get some potato salad to go with lunch too.
