News from Nowhere and Everywhere

Of course once we get settled in, we can't resist dipping our toes back into life back in Oz.  What better way than through SMH cartoons... not much of a laughing matter unfortunately.


Just click here  to see some of my favourite cartoons and more  or for Cathy Wilcock put this address in your browser.

I find myself signing the usual petitions, to try to stop the steady creep of misogyny - Wicked Campers being the focus this time.  This is only one of many horrendous and for young girls corrupting slogans.  I'd urge you to sign the Change.org petition.

More petitions to challenge the churches' continued protection of pedaphile clergy. 

"One in 50 clerics is a pedophile", Pope Francis said in an interview published Sunday, in which he also hinted that the mandate of priestly celibacy may one day be lifted. 
Francis condemned child sex abuse as a "leprosy" in the church and cited his aides as saying that "the level of pedophilia in the church is at 2 percent." That figure includes priests "and even bishops and cardinals," Italy's La Repubblica daily quoted Francis as saying.
The figure represents about 8,000 priests out of more than 400,000 worldwide, according to the latest statistics from the Vatican."
And so on and so forth.... Budget unfairness to the poor, appalling treatment of refugees,  even the absolutely ridiculous law which no longer ensure that financial advisors have to work in the best interest of their clients, make my blood boil.
Steam is pouring from my ears so guess its time to go back to holiday mode for a while.
