• Occupy Melbourne Protesters Forcibly Removed by Police

  Correct Marion, and unfortunately, our Prime Minister Julia Gillard is one of them! And it figures, because like Obama, she is trashing our country one bit at a time!

  Check out some of the pictures from Occupy Melbourne, with some humorous captions to boot:

  I’m so proud of Victoria Police, and and fiercely proud that my beloved city is leading the charge in fighting back against these disruptive radicals! The support for the police here is overwhelming!

  I have to hand it to our Lord Mayor Robert Doyle, I’m not a huge fan of his, but his stance with the protesters has won him my praise! Just check out this exchange between Doyle and the organizer of the Occupy Melbourne Rally:

  The boys and girls of Victoria Police handled themselves with honour and pride. One of the officers at the rally was quoted as saying- “No more Christine Nixon stuff”- Nixon had been one of the previous Chief Commisioners of Victoria Police who was really PC- hopefully her legacy is beginning to disappear!
  The protesters have garnered themselves no sympathy here, they’ve just blocked major roads!

  Dealer, CatB, about 10 years ago, I walked past Venus Williams at Crown Casino when she was here in Melbourne for the Australian Open, and believe you me, you guys aren’t wrong! Looks like the era of the Williams Brothers is over!! Go Sammy!

  Go Sammy! You’ve done Australia proud! Time to return to our former tennis glory-9 after a little break!!

• Too PC? New Australian Curriculum Bans References to Birth of Jesus in Textbooks

  In reply to webpreacher.

  @Turkey13
  So by that logic I should boycott a trip to the US because of all of Obama’s bad policies, right? What will that achieve? We here in Oz are fighting this government with everything we have- they are at their most unpopular ever, and are one resignation away from falling, due to their slim one seat majority! We have been resisting and kicking up a stink about this new curriculum for at least three years, due to it’s blatant attempts to rewrite history! Turkey13, you could do with a trip here to OZ- you would then realize that culturally and politically, Australians are more like Americans than anyone else, even Canadians at most times! Many Washington insiders follow our political and electoral cycles, as we are somewhat of a canary in the coal mine for the US- what happens here generally happens there! Do some research before you start arrogantly generalizing people with nknowledge whatsoever!

  From me here in Australia, I wish to offer my deepest, most sincere condolences to the United States, those brave Navy Seals and Afghani soldiers, and to all their families. What a horrible loss, one that can never be replaced.

  Anyone interested in the location, it is very likely a very famous tourist attraction here in my state of Victoria, known as the “Twelve Apostles”:

• ‘Do as You’re Told’: Here‘s How Australian Tobacco Companies Are Fighting the ’Nanny State’

  In reply to krenshau.

  What a moronic comment- all the guns in America, and did you stop Obamacare? And get your facts straight, we only handed in automatic and certain semi- automatic rifles. You can still get guns as long as you’re licensed. Leftists are the same here and in the US- when they get into power, they’ll ram through all their nasty programs! We’re taking a stand, join us!
