"We have one thing to say to Jessica Mauboy…haters gonna hate! The songstress, one of our faves at TheFIX, has found herself in hot water with fans after positing pictures of her hunting.

During a recent trip to Darwin, she posted a picture of her and boyfriend, Themeli Magripilis hunting for magpie geese.

She captioned the photos: “@Themeli89 laying low waiting for them #Geese to fly over with #Benji keeping an eye out too!”

Yep you would expect complaints from all those who clean their conscience of eating by buying their goose dead, plucked, cleaned, wrapped in plastic & frozen.

Just who is kidding themselves.

It would do all the inner city chattering class a great deal of good to spend a couple of weeks living off the land, with no shop bought food at all.

They might even finally find some meaning in their useless little lives, if they didn't starve.

I have been critical of Jessica Mauboy, but not because she participated in hunting. Hunting is a legitimate pastime and the geese I have had are good eating.

No, my criticism has been for her so called singing.

I heard her once do the national anthem and it was atrocious. Her diction was terrible and her breathing all over the place. In my opinion she needs many lessons. How can such an amateur become popular. I would not bother listening to any other of her tracks.

Try looking at the heart break of farmers these Geese leave behind.
Far too many city dwellers who know nothing of the bush should just shout up.
Does she sing Banjo, thought the second diff had blow in the old girl!

yep well I suppose those who believe the evolution fantasy are right to point out we are cannibals when we eat fish or birds or monkeys. Thankfully only the gullible believe this rot.

Well, duck is one of the items on our Christmas menu.
Yum!

As for Jessica Mauboy?
I recently saw the film "The Sapphires,"
and yes, she can sing (incredible vocals)!

They're not bad eating and great fun to shoot!
Good for you, Jessica Mauboy. You just earned a huge amount of respect from our entire household. You go girl and tell the bleeding hearts to GFT's!

It gets worse Belly.

The geese & your "favorite" people, the greenies destroyed a whole industry in the Burdekin. They had developed a paddy rice using some of the huge volume of water they had. A mill was established & a lot of long term investment went in.

Then the geese found them. There had never been geese breading in the area before, but they loved the paddies, with water & hood. With our usual stupidity we allowed the greenies to dictate, & farmers were not allowed to control the geese. The industry collapsed, the mill lies abandoned.

I guess you could say the farmers won in a backhanded way. When they gave up rice farming, & stopped flooding rice paddies, the geese lost & disappeared.

I wonder what happened to people's cultural right to farm their land, & make a living?

foxy,
All I can say is that if you come upon a track of her doing the national anthem live at some event, do not listen as you will cringe.

After hearing Julie Anthony SING the anthem I do not know why most others would bother trying.

Banjo, she sang one song in the movie with no musical accompaniment, and sounded lovely. She's sold many albums, so she is certainly doing something right!

I don't have a problem with her hunting magpie geese, although I did eat some wild magpie geese kebabs when I was living in Darwin, and I didn't like it...too gamey tasting for me.

Hasbeen, I don't think ranting about 'city folk' , as opposed to farming folk is very bright.
City and farming folk need each other.

The farmers grow the food and the city folk buy it.
It's not rocket science...

'Advance Australia Fair' is not a fair test of a singer. Julie Anthony did it passably, but it was a strain. They would have had to pay her well, because that nauseating and irritating dirge is impossible to sing and could limit a singer's career. It is a shocker.

Unfortunately no change is possible because the prevailing political correctness would decree that the replacement would be a blend of romanticised 'First People' didgeridoo and sticks, and multicultural sensitive acknowledgements, and could only be performed on the approval of the 'local owners' (at the local pub carpark picking a stink with Islanders), and would require payment of white fullah $$ of course.

>>It is a shocker.<<

It's certainly no La Marseillaise. I think they should make this our national anthem and everybody I've shown it to agrees - including, I'm sure you'll be pleased to hear onthebeach, all my aboriginal mates.

Foxy, ever heard of pitch correction?

Dear Shocker,

No. I am not a singer myself -
I wish I were, ' cause I love to sing and
In my fantasies, I sound like Julie Andrews in
"The Sound of Music." The reality is more
like Eartha Kitt, "My Heart Belongs to Daddy."
(joking).
