Cardinal George Pell has been committed to stand trial on multiple historical sexual offences but the most serious of the charges have been struck out.


I’m sure that a lot of people would have been very angry if Pell didn’t get his day in court.

This trial will be watched by many people from around the world.

"Cardinal George Pell likely to face two separate trials on historical sexual offence charges".


Double time (and fees) for Pell's leagle team.

Truth stranger than fiction!

Iranian women disguise themselves in fake beards and wigs to defy male-only stadium ban.

Stadium security guard in suspicious tone:  "Are there any women here?"


Bearded members of the crowd (in unison):  "No, no, no ...".


In deeper tone: "no, no, no ..."

Extracting a live calf foetus which dies in the process is in no way "clean meat". Many people claim to be vegetarian but admit to eating " only chicken and fish". I do not consider them real vegetarians. I use almost no milk unless a recipe requires it, cheese and free range eggs only. All my other food is plant based. I also wear vinyl shoes and handbags instead of the usual leather I used to wear.

More people are going down this route with you Gussy.


I usually only eat chicken and fish but I don't claim to be a vegetarian.


A discussion on another web site has made me think seriously about dairy consumption too, but I don't think that  I would give them up altogether although I will most likely eat less of them.


A lot of horrible things go on in the food processing businesss which if common knowledge would turn a lot of people into vegetarians.

Reducing the ABC’s funding is enough to lose my vote.

Blatant censorship in my opinion. 

No doubt that Andrew Bolt and his mates approve.   :mad:

Indonesia is a country that has to be regarded very carefully, we can't assume they will always be benign.
