What an incredibly long bow to draw. Just neurotic.

Still, the mindset is consistent with somebody who has advocated open borders, to hell with the cost and consequences.

Water boarding? Likely pattern of abuse? In Nauru?

She's got one thing right: ALLEGATIONS of torture "is just what they are. Take the ABC's latest effort to smear Australia this week. A blubbering wimp with a stethosope, and an ex "guard" hiding in the dark, along with a group of unidentified men making a few silly remarks.

Given the ABC's obvious hatred of Australia, people could be forgiven for assuming that the whole thing was a set up to get the likes of Kelly Tranter flapping their wings.

Yes Miss Kellie

That our Prime Minister is the dribbling result of systematic water or skate-boarding is self-evident.

I have this vision of John Cleese in "The Life of Brian" saying Oh! she's making it up as she goes along!
I also think of Gilbert's description of a performance of Hamlet "Funny without being vulgar".
Sorry, Kellie has this effect on me of making me think of many things rather than her rubbish.

I think Kellie is having a Jonah in the belly of a whale moment?

Alleging something could have happened just doesn't make any more true than saying; because something may have happened in Nauru, it could be also happening in Scots College? Well it could!

This is one of those bows that need to be drawn whilst lying down, so you can incorporate both your hand and feet due to the unusually long draw!
Eyewitness evidence Kellie, evidence, not he said she said hearsay!

You are out of order! Clear the court!

As activists are aware, there is always some stain remaining from mud that has been thrown.

Much of the ABC needs to be privatised and the saved $$ directed towards getting rid of the narrow bridges on Highway 1, or ending the ramping of ambulances outside Emergency Departments in public hospitals.

There should also be a very close review of the need for all of those quangos sch as the Human Rights Commission that have sprung up like mushrooms and suck mightily from the taxpayer's teat and seemingly forever.
