Hi Foxy,

SM moved to Christchurch to be closer to his folk hero Brenton Tarrant. SM how is that memorial you were building going, you must be about ready to place the burning cross on top.

Pauliar,

Brendon Tarrant a fellow Queenslander of yours is your bum buddy that you spent your time working out how to kill muzzies.

Brendon is now in jail in Aukland misses you and wants to know why you chickened out at the last minute. He believes that you stayed behind to be with your other mate Johno Doig

Foxy,

As I moved 4 years ago- No. It had more to do with the bucket of money I was offered with an executive position.

As for changing names of areas, other than virtue signalling, it creates no new value but rather the opposite. Changing stationary, websites, informing customers, suppliers etc is a major expense to businesses. But as Labor and the greens don't care about business it sounds just up their street.

That there is almost nobody that can speak these languages makes it a bit of a joke.

Saw one of the woke media web sites trying to use some funny name for Frasier island. There would not have been more than 1% of aboriginals in 1777 who even know the place existed, so any "aboriginal" name for it was the name used by a small family group. The same goes in spades for Airs Rock.

I came back to Oz in 76 & spent a few weeks in Townsville where a few ratbag activists aboriginal & white fellow travelers, including some from that bastion of lies James Cook Uni, were trying to whip up a controversy over a big rock just off Magnetic island. It is a favorite resting place for sea birds, & their guano has painted it so white that no less a man than Captain Cook named it "White Rock" on his charts.

Some clowns declared this racist & wanted to name it Albino Rock. It is about time we told these dills that if they want to continue to get taxpayer handouts they have to accept our names, particularly for features none of them ever knew existed.

SM,

I believe your new job seen you get a bigger mop and a bigger bucket as well. Is it true you are now the 'Naming Officer' for the Dilly Willy Council over the ditch, and you now live in the new suburb of TRUMPSVILLE, just down the road from the newly named TARRANT TOWN.
