ICAC desperate to be dismantled before it has to investigate ALP. The investigation into Margaret Cuneen is arguably an abuse of power. The allegation is that the senior crown prosecutor counselled her son's girlfriend to pretend to have chest pains so as to avoid being breathalysed at the scene of an accident. It is documented the girl had her blood tested and was found to have no alcohol in her. But someone has been able to interest the ICAC to investigate when they have previously accepted a former Attorney General walking out of hospital with his own blood samples. The difference being that the former AG who later died as a drunk and was smashed as he crashed his car was an ALP member and the ICAC only investigates 2% of cases sent its way. Even had Cuneen's son's girlfriend been drunk, and the allegation true, the ICAC's charter isn't for it to investigate public figures on private matters. Cuneen denies even giving the unnecessary advice. Clearly the ICAC has a significant faction wanting to have the organisation busted. The investigation into the Liberal Party resembles a witch hunt in which the Liberals appear to be clean, but with a few new members making naive mistakes. Meanwhile the unreformed ALP is still dripping with corruption.
Art is?
Art and how others see it is dependent on who sees it. ISIL planted their flag on top of a dirt mountain in Syria. It was bombed. The image of the explosion is a work of art that Tim Blairs notes is better than Sydney Council's many attempts at spending big on art. The ABC has suggested using humour to combat terrorism, by looking at acts of terror and carrying on normally. Almost as if they don't have a stake in what is taken and lost. Maybe they will grieve the ISIL flag on top of that dirt mountain.
Islamic Art
Feminists might note ISIL killing seven women, or women fighting ISIL. Among those murdered were a lawyer who had not gone to school in her first eighteen years, but studied and became senior enough that she could refuse to charge families of Iraqi detainees in US military institutions. Certainly ironic then that she was killed by those she defended. Female warriors among the Kurds have been effective against ISIL monsters.
Multiple marriages by Boko Haram of their captured school girls shows Michelle Obama's awareness raising is working to raise awareness. It certainly hasn't helped the female hostages. Brothers for Life gang finished. Jailed or killed by their own. A gang of Lebanese and Afghan refugees. We can thank the ALP who have deemed it important for their electoral success to import radical Islam. But the most elevated art work is that of a former Gosford Anglican Minister whose bigotry has seen the membership of his church plummet, but Rod Bower is now Arch Deacon. Rod likes drowning new migrants who have been subjected to piracy. He also likes taxes on plant food and would limit plant food around the world if he could. He doesn't seem to know much about God, but that might not have anything to do with his occupation of social activism.
ALP art
Bracket creep is to do with income tax. As inflation drives up prices and wages, a larger portion of wages are claimed. The answer to bracket creep is tax reform. But the ALP has blocked spending cuts. So the government will need to use the extra funds from bracket creep to fuel the budget. Meanwhile ALP in Victoria still protects CFMEU from investigation and criticism where it can. The Royal Commission into Union Corruption has found the union boss should be charged with blackmail. But the Victorian ALP leader has kept the CFMEU embedded in the ALP.
Left wing art
Preachy Age piece ignores two salient facts that contradict it. The issue is AGW and the Age presents an impressive list of facts and figures, but fails to mention that warming has paused for sixteen years and there is nothing that can responsibly be done about it at the moment.
Stolen Generation myths are challenged by primary research in Adelaide where letters from the eighteen hundreds and early nineteen hundreds are being transcribed and posted online. The evidence shows nothing consistent with the stolen generation myth.
Sport achievements
Western Sydney Wanderers win marred by sober crowds rioting. The Wanderers did not even exist as a team a few years ago, and now have risen to win the Asia Cup for soccer. A great achievement. However, the fans have marred it with poor behaviour.
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...

The Ballad of David Ball
[Verse 1]
In New York City, '67, a child was born so bold,
David Ball, with dreams afire, where Sesame Street was told.
His father shaped young minds at Columbia's hall so grand,
Till the '70s called them homeward to Sydney's distant land.
[Chorus]
Oh, sing of David Ball, with a heart both strong and true,
From classroom tales to whistle’s call, his spirit breaking through.
With pen in hand and faith so deep, he writes through joy and pain,
A voice for justice, loud and clear, in every sweet refrain.
[Verse 2]
Self-taught he read by Sydney's shore, with numbers as his guide,
A math teacher in the tough schools, where hope and youth ...

David Daniel Ball (born January 10, 1967, in New York City) is an Australian writer, conservative blogger, political activist, and former high school mathematics teacher. As the younger brother of cognitive scientist John Samuel Ball, David has carved a distinct path in education, advocacy, and self-publishing, often focusing on social justice, child protection, history, and Christian devotionals. His life story intertwines family intellectual heritage with personal campaigns against institutional failures in child welfare.
David was born in Manhattan during his father Samuel Ball's (1933–2009) tenure as an educational psychologist at Teachers College, Columbia University. Samuel, an Australian academic, contributed to early evaluations of Sesame Street through his work at the Educational Testing Service (ETS), assessing the show's impact on children's learning from 1963 onward. The family, including elder brother John (born 1963 in Iowa), relocated to ...
I invite you with: "Right now, let's respond by seeking Him first. If you're carrying worries, lay them down at His feet. Raise your hands, pray silently, or come forward for prayer as we declare His kingdom priority in our lives." This encourages active faith application, tying back to Matthew 6:33's promise.

Verse 1
In the whisper of the wind, You call my name
Beyond the worries of this world, Your kingdom reigns
Like lilies in the field, clothed in Your grace
I lift my eyes to You, in this sacred place
Chorus
Seek first Your kingdom, oh Lord
And Your righteousness, forevermore
All these things will be added, in Your perfect time
Man does not live by bread alone, but by every word from Your throne
We seek You first, we seek You first
Verse 2
From ancient words You spoke, in the mountaintop light
You taught us not to fear, in the dead of night
Your promise echoes through the ages, ...
