Sickening. No words for people like this. I hadn't heard about the child...just breaks my heart. When the news broke I was in a panic because my sister is there for a holiday. She's OK, but had been in the botanical gardens next to one of the mosques 20 minutes before it happened.

Now I will sound very old (which, at 40, I guess I'm up there), but I dream of a 'nostalgic' festival that brings back all the greats...and maybe some select bands/artists that are current, but who the oldies have hand picked as complimentary. Garbage, Pumpkins, No Doubt, Pixies, Sonic Youth... And huge electronic acts from yesteryear...Chemical Brothers, Underworld...I can't think of everyone I wish I had seen in my life, but you get the idea. Perhaps would seem lame to some, but I would love it. Maybe festivals have had their day? In the 2000s they were prolific in Australia, now it seems there aren't enough (good) acts to sustain them and many have been canned and the rest suck.

Preach! They are amazing!! I've seen them several times now and they put on a fucking trippy show. Best was when they just started out and performed at Splendour in the Grass here in Australia. Mind was blown! Ariana? At a festival? Please....

Seems like she will still win @Jazzy Jan I love how some of them are blaming Malcolm of all people for not campaigning on behalf of the new liberal candidate. Like really These liberal bastards have some nerve

OMG and they appointed Abbott special envoy for indigenous affairs. What in the actual fuck, I had to check that wasn't a joke! Sack that spineless weasel!

The whole situation here is a fucking mess! And you just watch the gen pop get accustomed to #ScoMo (roll my fucking eyes so hard) just because he'll fool them all that he's their mate and on their side. The public are a pack of morons distracted by The Bachelor and Masterchef. I have zero faith that they can make intelligent decisions. This too will be forgotten. Why can't we vote for parties indirectly. Get a ballot of key questions based on important social issues and answer them. Ain't no right wing party gonna win that vote! And while I'm here. Fuck Tony Abbott. That tiny weasel of a man. Toxic through and through. Zero integrity. Also, Turnbull was piss weak and compromised all he stood for to stay afloat. And he has nothing to show for his time as PM. An embarrassment. He would have lasted longer and had the people on his side had he stood up for what most Australian's want/need. And the far right would have had zero ammunition. Bye bitch. Love that a refugee boat made it through to the mainland today. Suck it liberal scum!

Please look after yourself - and your loved ones! And please keep us up to date so we know how you/your families are going. This is very scary!

Bam! Suck it Dump!

I could hardly believe my ears when I heard this! I desperately wish he is exposed and sent to prison. Scum!

As if the act wasn't terrible enough, then this on top of it. The motivations of these news outlets and agenda pushers is so transparent, and one of the reasons acts like these, from all sides, will continue to happen.

Former first grade teacher?! SMH

@Hector I love your posts! And I miss you on FB

I watched the whole show. He's a dumbass and was way out if his league on there.

how do I not know this man...particularly in light of the Madonna connection. Who is she?
