Australian Football League (AFL, Aussie Rules) had her grand final today. Hawthorn squared off against West Coast Eagles. The contest was very one sided. Had the Sydney Swans played better in the post season, not a lot better, but just with more focus and discipline, fewer imaginary spears thrown at the audience, they would have been humbled by Hawthorn. Last year, Swans only achieved Hawthorn's half time score by full time. West Coast bettered that this year. But not by enough to threaten the victors, 107-61.
A terrible killing in Parramatta, outside the police headquarters there, mirrors multiple slaying in the US earlier in the day. In the US, a young man from the UK, who identified as Muslim, who had failed basic training for the US army in '08, killed people at a community college, asking them if they were Christian and shooting them in the head if they said yes. In Australia, a fifteen year old boy who had migrated as a refugee, found a person leaving police headquarters for home, following the end of work. The boy had visited mosque on the way to walking up behind the civilian and shooting him in the head. Then the boy called out to Allah several times, faced the open door of the police headquarters and shot at people emerging from it. Police special officers, at great risk to themselves, shot the 15 year old dead. The victim of the execution, whom had been leaving work, was a seventeen year civilian accountant, married, father of two.
Clearly the intention of jihadis is to cause fear. They do so with precision, claiming as reason, excuses which inflame situations. But the excuses are not real. Not like the lives of the victims. But one would not know that, were they to hear Obama or Turnbull speak on the issue. According to Obama, prayer has failed and now alternatives must be sought. According to Turnbull, the Islamic community needs to be consulted. Except the Islamic community claims not to be the problem and prayer is not the issue. There is a disconnect with bad leaders pointing to simple answers that don't address the issues. The truth is the civilian tax accountant working for the police was killed randomly so as to threaten every sensible person. His death brings Islam into disrepute and is a powerful curse on all who approve it. But Obama and Turnbull are moving to exploit the tragedy, but giving credit to terrorists in doing so, by claiming their cause had more merit than the lives they took. They should try prayer.
For some, at the moment, the Sex Party has more credibility.

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring
Snowin' and blowin' up bushels of fun
Now the jingle hop has begun
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancin' and prancin' in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air
What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go glidin' in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jinglin' feet
That's the jingle bell rock
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bell chime in jingle bell time
Dancin' and prancin' in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air
What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go glidin' in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jinglin' feet
That's the jingle bell
That's the jingle bell
That's the jingle...

It is good, but here is my response
I've finished the first book for Bread of Life compilation for populist podcasters VivaFrei, AUS, The Duran and Bongino.
In the first volume, with quotes from months Jan to Apr, I write about how Australia came to be up to Federation.
In the 2nd volume I write about Australia from Federation to Menzies (Ming the Merciless)
In the third edition I write about Australia post Menzies.
