“I’m not a journalist … I’m an entertainer”. John Laws tried to sidestep his radio station’s cash-for-comment breaches of the Broadcasting Act. Vested interests could rent Lawsie and Alan Jones by the minute. Shock jockery made them rich beyond the wildest dreams of avarice.

State Funeral for Laws, Seriously?
Indeed. Having 'lived' with #JohnLaws for half a century, I question the idea of giving him a #StateFuneral. It irrevocably devalues the tangible contributions of great Australians who have been accorded the honour of State Funerals in the past.
I assume that if this precedent is set, such an honour will follow for
#AlanJones.

Adani's Defeat
Congratulations, Ben. That is good for Australia. Unfortunately, this #Adani fellow continues to destroy the ecosystem in India, displacing thousands of tribal inhabitants. It is an extreme scandal. I want to write about your victory and see if an Indian publication is interested. Many in India would welcome this outcome. Let me know. Sincerely, Rakesh Ahuja

Marvellously apt.

At the time of the first European contact, some 250 distinct Indigenous Australian languages were spoken. Today, around 150 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander languages are still spoken.

Indians In Australia
I confess that I, of Indian heritage, have a very poor view of the quality of recent Indian migrants in Australia. I stress, of the #UglyIndiansAbroad, not Indian migrants per se.
In the economic context, I find this statistic from the US interesting:
"Despite making up only 1.5% of the U.S. population, Indian Americans pay 5-6% of the nation’s income tax revenue."
Do we have an equivalent statistic for Indians in Australia? We know that the Indians have the highest median income of all ethnic groups in Australia. Are there any statistics about their contribution to the Treasury?
Anybody, please?

For a moment suspend your beliefs and support to BJP. Keep in mind that these forests being chopped down are going to create environmental destruction in the days, months, years to come. Shortage of water is one. And no political party is going to help you.

@SenatorWong , Australia may well not be able to 'digest' this kind of #IndianImmigrant behaviour as perhaps Canada can with its larger population and economy.

Canada is looking like India. They are not protesting for liberty but for freebies. Once they get confirmed into Canada, they will splinter into Indian nationalists, Khalstanis, Islamists, etc., and will move to their respective ghettos.
