The windows of a utility have been blown out by an explosion in Adelaide's northern suburbs.

Police said industrial fireworks were put in the work van in Mary Leonard Drive at Ingle Farm.

The blast took out windows and damaged the interior of the vehicle.

Earlier on Sunday night, residents of Applecross Drive at Blakeview reported fireworks were being set off in their area.

The return of the green Nazi

...

As I have often warned, the far Left is actually closely related to the far Right. Both believe in sacrificing individuals to the collective, reason to romance. One example I’ve mentioned a couple of times:

The Nazis drew heavily on a romantic, anti-science, nature worshipping, communal and anti-capitalist movement that tied German identity to German forests. In fact, Professor Raymond Dominick notes in his book, The Environmental Movement in Germany, two-thirds of the members of Germany’s main nature clubs had joined the Nazi Party by 1939, compared with just 10 per cent of all men. The Nazis also absorbed the German Youth Movement, the Wandervogel, which talked of our mystical relationship with the earth.

Peter Staudenmaier, co-author of “Ecofascism: Lessons from the German Experience”, says it was for the Wandervogel that the philosopher Ludwig Klages wrote his influential essay Man and Earth in 1913. In it, Klages warned of the growing extinction of species, the destruction of forests, the genocide of aboriginal peoples, the disruption of the ecosystem and the killing of whales. People were losing their relationship with nature, he warned.

Heard all that recently? I’m not surprised. This essay by this notorious anti-Semite was republished in 1980 to mark the birth of the German Greens—the party that inspired the creation of our own Greens party. Its message is much as Hitler’s own in Mein Kampf: “When people attempt to rebel against the iron logic of nature, they come into conflict with the very same principles to which they owe their existence as human beings. Their actions against nature must lead to their own downfall.”

Now another example:

Photographer Carlos Barria spent time documenting Mongolian neo-Nazi group Tsagaan Khass, one of several ultra-nationalist groups that have expanded in the country. The 100-plus members of Tsagaan Khass have recently shifted their focus from activities such as attacks on women it accuses of consorting with foreign men to environmental issues. The group is rebranding itself now as an environmentalist organization fighting pollution by foreign-owned mines, seeking legitimacy as it sends Swastika-wearing members to check mining permits.

ButOfCourse the author is quite mistaken by seemingly associating the nazis with the alleged "far right" when both history and reality reveals them to be of the far left and merely just not as far left as Stalin's mob were.

That "nazi" was short for "the national socialist german workers' party" ... IE, they were/are left-ards and militantly so.

Anyhoo, back to the "green nazi" article, well we've clearly got similar sorts of things going on here in Oz, what with shiny-card carrying folk practicing the "old as the mafia" practice of "stand-over" re: holding businesses to ransom and declaring that they shall be fined for daring to produce/release X amount of life-bringing plant-food to the atmosphere without first buying a permit-per-y-amount to do so, thereby extracting a payment (and a dishonest one at that, for the entire reason for it is based upon a lie) either way, yes ?

I wonder if the stand-over merchants will be the first up against the wall come the revolution ? :D

I mean, surely we won't let them get as far this time around as they managed around 60ish years ago ?

How to get up a centrist/conservative/small government advocate/Godly person's nose ? Lie to them / try and sell them the idea that good is evil/evil is good/bitter is sweet, etc, etc, etc.

How to get up a left-ard's nose ? Tell them The Truth.

... or how the Good Book puts it:

"This is why people are condemned: The light came into the world. Yet, people loved the dark rather than the light because their actions were evil."

The truth of the matter is businesses and investment are being hurt and driven away from Oz and energy costs are going throught the roof and people are suffering "energy poverty" and children are going without all because a minority of either misguided fools or malicious malthusians have chosen to go against the will of the majority of Oz and inflict imposts upon this nation that are of no earthly nor heavenly benefit but instead are designed to help shoe-horn in an order that, given the opportunity, would make the reign of terrors carried out by those of the left-ard ideology over the century, seem like a picnic by comparison.

The female host of the 2Day FM radio prank is going to sue the radio station for not providing her with a safe working environment.

That's interesting.


To quote from the article

Former 2Day FM host Mel Grieg is suing radio network Southern Cross Austereo for “failing to provide a safe workplace” in the wake of a prank call that led to a British nurse’s death last year.

Grieg has engaged Slater & Gordon lawyer Steven Lewis, who told reporters that her application had been lodged with the Fair Work Commission this week.

Children of single parents disadvantaged for longer

Children growing up in single parent families are one of the groups most likely to face ongoing and entrenched disadvantage, a new report warns.

Just under 9 per cent of children aged under 10 years who had lived with a single parent experienced poverty for between six and 10 years, a report by the Productivity Commission says.

Only 2 per cent of children who lived in two-parent households over the decade experienced sustained poverty.

''A child's earliest years fundamentally shape their life chances,'' the report's authors wrote.

''Gaps in capabilities between children from socio-economically disadvantaged families and their more advantaged peers appear early in life. Starting school 'behind the eight ball' can begin a cycle of disadvantage that sets a trajectory for poorer outcomes later in life.''

The report, released on Thursday, looked at the experiences of people facing poverty between 2001 and 2010.

Although some people who experience disadvantage move out of it relatively quickly, the report found, some struggle for years.

Those people are most likely to be single parents and their children, indigenous Australians, and people with low-educational qualifications and persistent health conditions, or disabilities.

I hope this isn't you displaying some sort of misplaced sole parent guilt given the fact numBawonsun was raised in two separate single parent families.

I feel the message in the article you shared comes down to how you interpret the information provided. Given that I was a fellow sole parent, I felt elated by the fact your article found that just over 91% of children who are raised in single parent families are NOT disadvantaged by poverty in their first six to ten years.

Got to love an article that takes a minority and tries its best to sell it as a majority just to cause outrage.

Yep. Also seems strange to post a link to an "opinion piece" and then not actually comment yourself.

I think the article is loosely connected to the initiative to encourage sole parents back into the workforce, which I think is a good thing. For most people the concept of returning to work even part-time after a long break and while trying to manage childcare and a household must be overwhelming so it's good to have a government initiative as they have all bases covered for assistance you would hope. I don't know the ins and outs but I don't think there is an expectation of full-time work is there? I have a sole parent friend who found a part-time job with the help of Centrelink/Job Network when her youngest started school, pretty sure she was only working about 15 hours a week but that was few years ago.

As a sole parent you are dammed if you do and damned if you don't, I was lucky enough to have a trade and a supportive mum so was able to return to work when my daughter was young. My choice. However as mentioned before, I support choice, the choice to stay at home or the choice to return to the paid workforce.

Nah, couldn't be because, as even ex-wife so thoughtfully and maturely expressed in her excellent speech for numba1son's 21st last month, he has had the advantage of being brought up by two loving families; her and her LSCP, and me with mine (and both of us having hooked up with our new LSCPs on the same night and @ the same party now over ten years ago ironically enough). She also mentioned how he also has had the benefit of the influence of two sets of loving grand-parents.

So, not about numba1son at all ... or even me ... unlike the following youtube involving words and the clanging together of shiny lumps of worked metal for you to not watch. :D

Uncle Bernie I think you are letting your happily ever after memory sharing of numBerWonSun's 21st birthday blur the facts.

If your son was raised by his mother and her new partner in one home and you and your new partner in another separate home, that makes nUmberWonSun a product of a single parent family. That is not meant to be an insult, it is just an honest observation. Biologically there are two parents - the mother and the father. In essence, a step parent is merely a forced extension to the family unit which results when there is a termination or break down in the relationship between parents. A step parent only enters the child's life when the union between parents has ended ie divorce, separation, death. As you so eloquently pointed out, your boy was raised by two loving families, albeit led by the single parent of each household, which in essence beautifully demonstrates why just above 91% of children raised in such families turn out to be a glorious success.

Well done to both of you.

p.s. I don't know if the word albeit is in context. It is a new word to me and I have been dying to use it.

p.p.s. I think it is super cute that you think I would click on your home videos. As I have pointed out before, it is bad enough I have to sit through them for the people I know and love, I simply refuse to feign interest the home movies of a cyber stranger

I thought that you said you were not involved in his life for some of the early years?, not having a go but I can vaguely remember something about you not being around much for the first 4 (ish) years. Clearly you have an excellent relationship with your son now but it just goes to show that often our kids turn out ok despite all sorts of different family dynamics.

And yes having Grandparents involved is fantastic.

Family dynamics are very complex, I would never base a judgement on how a child has turned out by one aspect of life like being raised in a single parent home versus a two parent home. Ideally, two happy well adjusted parents is a good thing but of course that just is not always possible. One well adjusted parent can do a pretty fine job imo. As mentioned, having grandparents around is brilliant.
