It doesn’t take much to trigger the Bong.
Paulie Boncrappo has the leftist “look” (big red spectacles) to go with the leftist histrionics.
Yes. Yes you are.
Now get back in your box to prepare for the next outrageous outrage.
Paulie Boncrappo has the leftist “look” (big red spectacles)…
He would probably have his hair dyed multi-colours if he wasn’t bald.
It’s the type of appalling thing you can say when you have confidence the msm will run dead on any misdemeanour you might make.
It is a silly look, though. If auditioning to be an Aussie Marvel superhero, it would be OK.
My guess is that Porpsero has multi-coloured hair.
Perverse Preposterous
Meeeooww!. Saucer of milk?
And if her outfit had been black, red and yellow? He lived for a while with Gerard Ridsdale but didn’t see anything amiss. Methinks he sees what he wants to see.
Massive projection.
Bungjourno’s comments and opinions should always be treated with the same contempt that he deserves.
If it was Lidia Thorpe dressed in possum skins he’d be fawning over her.
I knew nothing about her. But now I see she worked at the ABC for quite a while, then ran for politics for the Liberals, but she eventually got suspended. Breast cancer survivor. Abstained from the Climate Change bill vote. Now this dress in Parliament.
I don’t know – that’s a very mixed background from which to guess what she’s going to be like in Parliament.
Perverse Preposterous
I don’t know – that’s a very mixed background from which to guess what she’s going to be like in Parliament.
Almost certainly better than KK.
The left hate anyone who might be proud of being part of our community without bowing to the usual shibboleths. She also embarrassed nobodies girl. I’m not sure exactly why that’s a transgression, but it clearly is. Her loss actually made labor stronger.
Bungjourno is an embittered ex-priest. Gerard Henderson calls his effusions ‘the epistle of Father Paul to the Greenleftians’.
He once shared a presbytery with the appalling Gerald Ridsdale; when he insisted that he knew nothing about what Ridsdale was up to, Frantic Fran ‘I’m an activist ‘ Kelly gave him a free pass.
One thing is certain: the left (including the ALP RINO – Right in name only – Kenneally) and their media boosters will do whatever it takes to destroy Dai Le. She is, as Whitlam memorably put it, a f***ing Vietnamese Balt.
Yes, that’s the shameful background to her poignantly told story.
Whitlam didn’t want that boat to make it. Just think about that.
——————————-
Re her dress, it was a traditional Vietnamese ao dai in flag colours.
Interestingly, the Vietnam war had been a long-standing conflict that was on and off well before the French arrived and the US saw it as a way to moderate communist China.
Maybe she will decide to actually represent her constituents. Pretty old fashioned, but you never know.
Some conservatives, of course, are not absolved of anti-Asian meltdowns of their own. Pauline Hanson’s “swamped” fear – with which John Howard played footsie – was also disgraceful.
Not to mention stupid.
High IQ peoples, strictly family-oriented and famously entrepreneurial.
Yeah, we don’t want their sort. 🙄
“like end” – he meant “likened”.
I guess he couldn’t see the Federation Star on her sleeve. He was probably looking at her breasts, so could only see the Union Jack.
No wonder he couldn’t see what Risdale was up to. No peripheral vision.
That he lived in the same house as Ridsdale does not mean Bongiorno was aware of Ridsdale’ crimes. That is one thing. And it is obvious why some persons harp on that aspect of Bongiorno’s past. As for Bongiorno having turned nasty, that’s something else again.
It di not sound angry to me however the irony of an old angry white man accusing another of being an old angry white man is amusing.
He is right on both counts almost. The dress is bad. Only faux nationalist like Hanson would usually wear such an appalling dress.
I think her main argument of the lockdown was the Eastern suburbs was treated vastly differently to the Western suburbs.
Trampo, you were the intended audience for the dress and it had the intended effect, you’re triggered, just like Bung Journo.
Given how badly az wholes like you have been gaslighting this poor woman, good on her. It’s amazing how leftists talk the good talk about empowering women, as long as they hold the same views as you, when they don’t, no insult or insinuation is off the table. Witness the treatment handed out to JK Rowling.
bucco stick to graphs you have no idea about.
the only thing I said was her dress was appalling. It was. That is not gaslighting.
I also defended rowling.
I guess it would be if I wasn’t more than a quarter of a century younger than Bongiorno.
It’s interesting that today’s leftists clutch their pearls about the Russian invasion of Ukraine but back in the 60s and 70s they were cheering the invasion of the RVN and ratting on Australian troops.
Franx, the point that many have made is that Bungjourno never stood up for Pell, who was constantly smeared as must have knowing about Ridsdale. People pointhing out there is plenty of evidence that Bungjourno was far closer to Ridsdale and was excused from scrutiny might just have a point.
In addition to hating South Vietnamese refugees, Whitlam also fully supported Pol Pot.
Total imbecile.
Agreed Bucaneer. I still wonder why Bongiorno didn’t have to stand up in court and say he never knew about Ridsdale. If he didn’t know why would have Pell, and why would the court have been at least mildly curious about it?
As an aside, last week the pope moved ALL vatican funds to the Vatican Bank. That could put a bit of a hole in funding of the latest lawsuit.

The issue about Bungjourno and Ridsdale is that he lived at least as closely with Ridsdale as Cdl Pell did, but Bungjourno was given a pass by the media, which pursued Pell mercilessly over similar living arrangements.
Non Mentis
the only thing I said was her dress was appalling. It was.
De gustibus non est disputandum.
We get that like most leftists, you hate nationalism.
Buccaneer and Boxcar
Snap.
Nothing to say that Bongiorno was closer to Ridsdale than anyone else, not that being close is definitive of Bongiorno knowing anything particular at all. Bongiorno was not asked to give evidence at trial but he had said on the record that he was unaware of Ridsdale’s crimes at the time of his stay in the presbytery. As for Bongiorno supporting Pell, he was not the only one who failed not only to support Pell but failed simply to dispel lies. Imputations intended or otherwise continue to circulate when it is insinuated that Bongiorno, who like Pell shared accommodation with Ridsdale, would have been aware of Ridsdale’s crimes, the target in effect being Pell rather than Bongiorno who in not having had then or now a kind word for Pell emerges (or is allowed to emerge) at critical junctures to do with matters not strictly political.
Boxcar
Ridsdale’s crimes had nothing to do with the allegations brought by a complainant in 2015. Therein lies another indication of the level of injustice.
Okay when some wear the Australian flag:

Was he in Parliament giving a serious speech while wearing it?
Who cares?
This is still a free country, or at least it supposedly was the last time I looked, events of the last two years or so notwithstanding.
If she was a woman of the left this was not even be an issue.
The logic twists and gaslighting here are legendary from the usual suspects. So salty there is even a nod and a wink that the fashion police should have arrested Dai Le and sent her to some kind of re education camp for crimes against leftism.
It must hurt so badly we live in a free country rather than have to comply mercilessly with the the ever shifting rules the left enforce to exclude anyone they don’t like.
“would not even be an issue.”
Excessive flay display (or flag fetishisation) is usually associated with excessive nationalism which is usually associated with bad or dubious behaviour being allegedly excused by said “love of country”.
Not always, and she may be a reasonable politician, I really done know.
But literally dressing in a flag is a bit a flag (ha ha) that she may be at least a bit of a worry…
How is on a single, singular occasion wearing a garment to signify both your love of your cultural heritage and your adopted home ‘excessive natiobalism’
But I get it, anyone who still honours the Australian flag is guilty of ‘excessive nationalism’.
And yes ‘you really don’t know’ anything of any value, judging by your comments here.
Perverse Preposterous
Excessive flay display (or flag fetishisation) is usually associated with excessive nationalism which is usually associated with bad or dubious behaviour being allegedly excused by said “love of country”.
For a politician, there is no such thing as “Excessive flay display ..” they all need to fear being flayed (metaphorically, of course) by the voters.
Excessive leftism display is usually associated with incipient fascism and the desire for control over The Lives of Others. Try to reign it in.
Rosie, you’re strawmanning with the best of them here, in that I did say “usually but not always.” I mean, be serious, you had Pauline Hanson draping herself in a flag, Donald Trump smooching one in a cring display.
As for Dai Le, I’m reserving judgement. But obviously there are precedents for anyone to be wary of excessive flag display.
Perverse Preposterous
in that I did say “usually but not always.”
Keep squirming, eventually you will convince yourself that you said something sensible.
Indeed, it gets more obvious on an hourly basis.
Of course, if she had worn a gay pride dress as lurid as the one she did wear, I expect it would’ve all been “hey, it’s a free world, and so good to see she’s making a statement” here….
What size are you Bucco and BJ, I have a tee shirt I wanna send you?
So after attempting to censor someone for their attire, you try to tell us all that we would have censored someone else so that makes your censorship ok. There are no surprises why you constantly tell us all you can’t understand the people here.
Perverse Preposterous
Size XXXXL, thanks, I need a shoe polishing rag.
Do you wear yours to work every day?
