Then there was the unprecedented misogynist campaign against Julia Gillard with Australia's shock jocks leading the charge and firing up all the Neanderthal men around the place. Did they ever think about the type of message they were sending out to certain types of men and the spike in domestic violence in this country? We have a very grave problem in Australia when people like Mackenzie can spew away without restraint against a female public figure, mocking and jeering, abusing and vilifying and ultimately, eroding respect not only for women in public office but for women overall.

Robert made no bones that he nominated himself for an article published in Playboy about Xavier Herbet (which I read, and mate, it was just fucken brilliant). Reid won an award for that alright, after he nominated himself. SO....fucken Mackenzie has obviously nominted himself, the narcissistic turd. <br />As for these young fellas building themselves tiny houses, well Christ or mighty they shouldnlt have pinched the materials to build them should they? How about the Cairns Regional Council fucken well donate some materials to these young lads to build shelters for the homeless?Bob R.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3182703408922632531.post-23491656564051515532015-09-05T12:41:54.923+10:002015-09-05T12:41:54.923+10:00So you're okay with me jumping your back fence...So you're okay with me jumping your back fence and knocking off a few hundred dollars worth of your gear just so I can show a bit of initiative Hillbilly?<br /><br />'Initiative' might have been approaching the business owner and asking if they could have the timber, or maybe do a little bit of work for it.<br /><br />How do you get police harassment out of this scenario?<br /><br />Oh, and seeing you've recently castigated others for stealing images from the internet and using them to for their own means, you perhaps should have quantified that image of the structure as being one that was cut and pasted from the net, and most definitely not the tarp and timber job at Woree.<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />RussAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3182703408922632531.post-16485717612572558622015-09-04T16:19:41.950+10:002015-09-04T16:19:41.950+10:00It was with gobsmacking incredulity that I read a ...It was with gobsmacking incredulity that I read a filler in the Compost yesterday to the effect that Mackenzie is up for an award in this year's Commercial Radio Awards as 'Best Talk Presenter'. The winner will apparently be announced at a "do" on the Gold Coast on October 10. What a travesty; what a farce; what an indictment on commercial radio here in Australia (and no doubt elsewhere)Tony Hillierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06811119917896735831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3182703408922632531.post-34187517260898748172015-09-04T11:20:38.808+10:002015-09-04T11:20:38.808+10:00Whilst I appreciate the sentiment in your article ...Whilst I appreciate the sentiment in your article HBW, at the end of the day taking materials from private property without the owners permission is THEFT.

The reason is of course his support for the liquor industry and late night trading.He'll sell himself to any vested interest, like the media whore he is. <br /><br />Strangely enough "Sour Grapes King" on his sad little blog is claiming that crime is out of control since he was booted out. This is followed by snide comments about Rob Pyne's disability by the paperboy's dwindling band of supporters. The paper boy's absence from the mackenzie's whinge show is also curious.Maybe he just used him like he used everybody else.
