The comedy festival in Melbourne is looking for more comedians- apply now Albo & cronies.

Surely the judicial system has the ability to appeal the sentence? (and hopefully, fire the incompetent judge).
In Australia, he would receive minimum 8 years (and would receive obligatory bashings in prison from other inmates), an ankle bracelet upon release and be on the sex offenders list for eternity'

Djokovic is certainly a great player. However, he also is a great whinger. He has achieved a trifecta here. Arrived in Aust claiming he is traumatised from his deportation (really?- let's see the pyschiatric report,) claimed he was poisoned in his hotel (really- show the proof !) and now is God's gift to wokism. I am sure all his Serbian supporters in Melb are now on anti-depressants- not.

And what was the alternative to Hiroshima and Nagasaki? The mass slaughter on both sides if the U.S. were forced to invade the mainland? The writing was on the wall early days that the conflict would not end well for Japan. Blind faith kept believing the opposite.

Maybe the trio of liars, Putin, Medvedev and Lavrov could try and explain that to us mere mortals.
