Australia - you're standing in it


@etarip
@a-m. Depends what your view of ‘Defence’ is. I’d say that having a sovereign capability to deter or prevent coercion via control of sea-lanes, blockade, occupation of offshore territories, control of offshore resources fields and fisheries etc is arguably as important as being able to prevent or defeat an ‘invasion’ of Australia which is not really a plausible scenario anyway. That’s what much of the ‘maritime’ focus of recent acquisitions is about""
I agree there, but are high end expensive nuclear submarines required for those purposes? I wouldn't think so.

Read an article 30yrs? ago that said subs are obsolete cos all "powers" have satelite technology that can pick up a subs propulsion wash and or bow pressure wave under water???

George Pell
good riddance Cnut


Yep


Private or state funeral??


Hopefully cremated with cigarette burns


“In Australia, he made several appearances at the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse, which ultimately found he knew of sexual abuse by the clergy but did not take adequate action to address it, ”
Suss cunt lived far too long imo. Piece of shit

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade is making arrangements to have the remains of Cardinal George Pell returned to Australia.
He said a service would be held at St Mary’s Cathedral at a future date.

What a fucking joke.


One of the Catholic Church’s best advertisements for what they stand for. Plenty of room in Heaven for Pell… a few Hail Marys and some confessional time fixes everything.


I don't believe in an afterlife but rot in hell pell you discgraceful cunt.


One of Pell’s greatest moments was on the ABC’s Q & A. I think he was talking about the choir or something similar.
Pell. Uum aar yes well um we prepare the boys for…
Audience. Boooooooooo and laughing away…
Pell just glared incredulously at them all.


I wouldn't normally laugh at someone dying, but i pissed myself when i heard of this piece of shit kicking the bucket this morning on the radio....and not a day too soon. Scum.


Hopefully his death was painful and slow.


Look who’s made today’s court list.

The ‘honourable’ tony has the gall to describe pell as a ‘saint for our times’ ?
Wtf ???
A war criminal glorifying a pedo.
Disgraceful.
You can see in the eyes of pell - he has an absolute overwhelming level of arrogance…
- there is unmistakable denial and an unconscionable lack of empathy only reserved for corrupt liars who are able to operate and behave in a manner beyond the law, let alone as a representative of a religion that proposes love and compassion and trust.
No forgiveness necessary.

How is he going to deliver the answer?
“ TONY JONES: Okay, let's go to the Cardinal. The question was: how can there be a compassionate God who is all powerful and has created us and yet we suffer. Why create such a world in the first place?
GEORGE PELL: I think that is probably the hardest question for us to answer.
TONY JONES: Do you struggle with it?
GEORGE PELL: Yes. If I get a chance to say to ask a question when I die I think I will ask the good God why is there so much suffering?”

This post may have got lost in the Pell topic, its been a day of scumwits , pell , BL and tate


Looks like the death of G Pell is the unifying force that swellnet needed.
And the lions shall sleep with the lambs and all that.

Amen to that Etarip. The happy clappers from the religion page have been very quiet which is a little concerning.


What can be said about Pell that hasn’t been already said. A day of reflection and compassion for all those poor children who suffered in silence. Pell was a deeply flawed yet exceedingly ambitious religious leader whose conservative and unquestionable faith allowed him to simultaneously ignore the sexual abuse of children by priests while cultivating his influence over AU political conservatives and PMs like Howard and Abbott. Look no further than Pell’s relationship with Howard as the starting point for the current infiltration of religious RWNJs in the LNP. Evil personified.


From Chatgpt-
Who is george pell
George Pell is an Australian Catholic prelate, theologian, and convicted sex offender. He served as the Archbishop of Melbourne from 1996 to 2001, and later as the Archbishop of Sydney from 2001 to 2014. In 2018, he was convicted of child sexual abuse in Melbourne, and was subsequently sentenced to six years in prison. He is the most senior Catholic official to be convicted of child sexual abuse.

The only decent thing Dan Andrews has ever said:
https://www.news.com.au/national/victoria/politics/premier-daniel-andrew...


And about time


“We should never forget that predator brothers and priests were systematically moved around, knowingly, as part of a strategy."
That is a core part of Pell's legacy.

GuySmiley. You nailed it, my thoughts also. Pells body is not even worth composting, fucking scumbag. Howard, Abbott, Menzies, Scomo and all the other fuckwits of that cohort are all the same.
