The Chaser has managed to do what it does best – faceplant spectacularly while pretending it’s satire.

Instead of writing something clever, the self-styled “comedy” outfit decided the perfect gag would be to mock Charlie Kirk’s assassination mid-speech at Utah Valley University.

Their headline? “R U OK? Day not going well at Turning Point.”

Yep. A bloke gets his neck ventilated on stage and they think the funniest angle is a su***de prevention pun. Not edgy, not witty – just bargain-bin shock jock humour with less punch than a decaf latte.

The article went further, sneering that Kirk’s crew “questioned gun control” before deciding to “stick to their guns after remembering the shooting happened at a school.”

Australians weren’t having a bar of it. Critics called it “objectively unfunny” and “human garbage,” with one quip landing harder than anything in The Chaser’s writers’ room: “Not even ABC Comedy level.” Ouch.

When ABC rejects call you unfunny, you’ve really bottomed out. Predictably, The Chaser slammed the big red button and turned off X comments – which, let’s be real, is the online equivalent of hiding under the doona.

But the circus didn’t stop there. Crikey associate editor Cam Wilson got caught out in leaked messages saying it was “fine to joke about” Kirk’s death and that the conservative was basically responsible for his own demise.

He even mused about MAGA “mass executing the left” but, hey, “let’s be chill.” Yeah, nothing says chill like gleefully meme-ing a bloke’s murder.

The culprit behind the Chaser piece? Editor John Delmenico – the same bloke who once tried to cancel a toothpaste ad for saying “make the White choice.”

So where does this leave us? With a so-called satire outlet that’s less The Onion and more The Shallot – cheap, bitter, and guaranteed to make you cry for the wrong reasons.

Kirk’s assassination was shocking enough without being turned into a punchline by clowns whose humour peaked with “we put a sausage roll in John Howard’s mailbox” two decades ago.

Love him or hate him, Charlie Kirk’s dead. And if your big comedic play is “haha, R U OK? Day, get it?” – maybe it’s time to hang up the typewriter, lads. The joke’s not just on you – the joke is you.

Victoria Police have put up a record $1 million reward for information leading to the arrest of Desmond “Dezi” Freeman.

Dezi is wanted over the Porepunkah shootings that left two officers dead and a third seriously injured, and his name has become the centrepiece of Victoria’s biggest manhunt in years.

For almost a fortnight, more than 450 officers a day, backed by helicopters, drones, dogs and tactical units, have swarmed the alpine bush around Porepunkah.

Yet Dezi – dressed only in khaki trackies, a rain jacket, Blundstones and his reading glasses – has managed to slip through their net.

Police insist it’s straightforward: officers went to his Rayner Track property on 26 August with a search warrant linked to the Sexual Offences and Child Abuse Investigation Team. Shots rang out. Two men were killed, another wounded, and Dezi disappeared into the bush.

But the neatness of that story doesn’t sit right with everyone. Victoria Police have long been accused of targeting and hassling Freeman, and neighbours say he often spoke of being under pressure from authorities.

To make matters murkier, no bodycam footage from the day has been released. If the story is as clear-cut as police claim, why hasn’t the public seen it?

Friends and locals describe Freeman as strong-willed, even defiant, but not the kind of man who posed a threat to ordinary people. The idea of him as a gun-toting menace to the wider community doesn’t square with the man they knew.

Dezi – also known as Desmond Filby – had openly clashed with authorities for years, his views shaped by anti-establishment and sovereign citizen ideas. That tension set the stage for a confrontation, but exactly how it spiralled into gunfire remains shrouded in questions.

For now, the High Country search goes on – hundreds of police against one man. And with each passing day, the doubts only grow louder: about what really happened on that property, about why the footage stays locked away, and about whether the narrative we’re being sold is the full truth.

Until Dezi is found – alive or dead – the mystery isn’t going anywhere.

For weeks now, Australians have been spoon-fed the same tired tune on repeat.

Neo-N**is marching at midnight in Melbourne, sovereign citizens hauled off to jail, the ABC sneering at “conspiracy nuts” like it’s a comedy sketch, and Judges suddenly popping up with dire warnings about anti-government boogeymen.

On their own, these headlines might look random. But stacked together? It’s an orchestrated public relations campaign dressed up as journalism.

Every outlet’s playing a part. News Ltd spruiks “rising N**i sign-ups” and the taxpayer-funded public broadcaster rolls out their smug exposé on sovereign citizens, painting them as dangerous cranks.

Meanwhile, the Guardian points a trembling finger at an upcoming protest, claiming “racism,” and Crikey, true to form, can’t resist reminding you that the “freedom movement” is fractured – but still dangerous, of course.

This is the game: flood the public with fear before a single placard’s lifted, so by August 31 everyone walking down Bourke Street is already branded a goose-stepping extremist.

And the double standards couldn’t be more obvious. If it’s a climate rally or a BLM march? Police escorts, glowing coverage, breathless praise.

But if it’s about government overreach, housing, immigration, cost-of-living, free speech, or just plain fed-up Aussies? Suddenly it’s extremist, violent and dangerous. Same streets, different story.

VicPol is already warning of “possible violence” before a banner’s even painted. That’s not public safety, that’s pre-conditioning.

Say “danger” often enough, and the crowd believes it, even if the march is nothing more than ordinary Australians walking together in peace.

Doesn’t matter if you’re a mum worried about housing, a worker sick of cost-of-living hikes, or just a bloke who still thinks free speech should mean something – you’re all extremists now, according to the script.

This isn’t reporting, it’s stage management. The government wants dissent blunted, the media obliges, and ordinary Australians get lumped in with swastika-waving clowns.

Questioning policy? That’s extremism. Marching peacefully? That’s terrorism. Criticising Israel’s bloodbath in Gaza? Anti-Semite. Not clapping along with every government brainwave? N**i. It’s lazy, it’s dishonest, and it’s dangerous.

The right to call out power isn’t a fringe hobby – it’s the backbone of democracy. But instead of recognising that, the media has taken on the job of smearing anyone who strays from the “approved” script.

And when thousands hit the streets on August 31, the truth will be there for all to see.

It won’t be a mob of extremists. It’ll be Australians of every colour and creed, from the left, the right, and everywhere in between, standing shoulder to shoulder.

They are united because they love this country, because they want a say in its future, and because they know their voices still matter.

And that unity – Australians realising they're stronger together than divided – is exactly what the establishment fears most.

Melbourne Lord Mayor Nicholas Reece has sparked debate with a proposal to adopt the Indigenous six-season calendar, arguing it better reflects the city’s actual weather patterns than the traditional four-season model.

The idea, raised during the Melbourne 2050 Summit, suggests introducing “wet” and “dry” versions of summer and winter – a concept drawn from the Wurundjeri calendar.

Reece claims the Indigenous model offers a more accurate way of tracking the seasons, pointing to examples like Melbourne’s wattle trees blooming in unison as a clear marker of seasonal change.

“When you actually look at the calendar, and the seasons, you actually realise hey that actually does line up,” he stressed.

The timing of the proposal has raised eyebrows, particularly as Victoria pushes ahead with its controversial treaty process – a broader effort to embed Indigenous perspectives into the state’s governance and identity.

Critics say this seasonal overhaul feels symbolic at best, and unnecessary at worst, with some online calling it “nonsense” and comparing it to debates over personal pronouns.

Whether Reece’s idea gains traction or fades away, it’s clear the conversation around climate, culture, and identity in Victoria is far from settled.

In some breaking news, it has today been revealed that the Victorian Labor Government – led first by Dan Andrews and now Jacinta Allan – has burned through a jaw-dropping $382 million on Indigenous treaty negotiations over the past decade.

And that’s just what they admit to. The real figure, when you tally it all up – including the “truth-telling” inquiry, state Voice push, and all the bureaucratic fluff around it – is sitting at a disgusting $776 million. That’s taxpayer cash – your money – by the way.

And let’s be absolutely clear – this post is not an attack on Aboriginal Australians. Far from it. Aboriginal people are brilliant – resilient, wise, and deeply connected to this land in ways most politicians could never understand.

To put it bluntly, they’re being used – as pawns in a much bigger game. Many now believe it is all part of a global agenda – one where identity politics and race-based policies are weaponised to strip everyday Aussies of their rights, while bureaucrats and activists cash in.

These treaty talks? They’re not happening in dusty town halls out bush with Elders who actually represent rural Aboriginal communities.

Nope, they’re being stitched up between government suits and slick “Aboriginal corporations” run out of city offices, miles away from the mob who genuinely need help.

Meanwhile, the real-deal Aboriginal families – the ones doing it tough in remote areas – get left behind while Labor throws money at inner-city diversity consultants and activist panels.

The so-called Treaty Authority, billed as an “independent umpire,” is doling out salaries of up to $388,000 a year to its chosen few. That’s nearly 400K to sit in endless meetings and draw up plans the public never gets to see.

And let’s not forget – the state’s broke. Our hospitals are buckling, roads are rooted, ambos are flat out, and businesses are collapsing – all while we're in the midst of a severe housing and cost-of-living crisis. But hey, priorities, right?

Hundreds of angry Victorians have had enough. Calls for no-confidence votes are erupting across the state. Some want Jacinta and her cronies jailed over the waste. Others are calling this whole process treason.

And the worst part? All of this is happening after Victorians overwhelmingly voted no to the divisive national Voice referendum. Yet here we are, with a state-based version being shoved down our throats by a government that is playing the people as fools.

This ain’t about unity. This is about control. And it's being pushed by a government that seems more interested in pleasing foreign NGOs, globalist institutions, and lefty elites than looking after its own people.

So yeah, we stand with Aboriginal people – real Aboriginal people, not the corporate faces of tokenism. But we won’t stand for being lied to, used, or divided by a government hell-bent on handing away our rights while pretending it's in the name of “reconciliation.”

This is a wake-up call, Victoria. Enough is enough! 😡

Aboriginal Victorians are in line to receive cash payouts, tax relief, and land and resource handbacks following the final report of the Yoorrook Justice Commission – a state-run “truth-telling” inquiry backed by the Andrews and Allan Labor Governments.

The Victorian Government is now moving to entrench the First Peoples’ Assembly as a permanent advisory body to Parliament, despite the state voting overwhelmingly against the national Voice to Parliament proposal in 2023 under then-Premier Daniel Andrews.

The Commission’s report also accused early British settlers of genocide and proposed wide-ranging reforms, including raising the age of criminal responsibility, granting the Assembly powers to scrutinise Ministers and departments, and strengthening Aboriginal cultural rights.

Premier Jacinta Allan has not ruled out any of the 100 recommendations in the report. The First Peoples’ Assembly, elected only by Indigenous Victorians aged 16 and over, recorded 4,200 votes in its 2023 election from 7,000 enrolled voters and around 45,000 eligible individuals.

There are growing concerns that National Parks might be playing games with their booking system to deliberately reduce usage numbers. Some folks are asking if the system is rigged or if bookings are being limited, all in the name of keeping people away and make the parks look less busy. ⛺ 🌳
