TOPIC:

for the fella missing in North Korea.

It is wonderful that our PM can spend time praying for him but what abt the other folks who go missing!

Obviously he has learnt from the Donald 'there is no bad advertising or photo opportunity to be missed.

The future for our great country is in safe hands ( better than the Lardening I agree) but politics and religion mmmmm not god oops good folks

Meaningless really isn't it Grump? I have watched with some alarm that the line between politics and religion has become very blurred recently with religious groups lobbying and influencing pollies to support their agendas. People have a right to practice their religious beliefs but Australia is a secular country and religious agendas shouldn't be a major influence on policy making like it seems to be in the US.
Thoughts and prayers just don't cut it. Do something to get this poor kid out of detention

I was a bit bemused by that as well.

That's all well and good, hopefully it all works out for everyone.

Perhaps when he is saying his prayers next he can throw one in for endangered species, my football team and the quartet on the last at Ascot.

But he is doing something - he said a prayer

And apparently there is no new updated info on Alex either.
But like a pollie does, why miss a good photo opportunity when they want one, is the view many of them take

I don't disagree Mike but it's a bit like unions influencing the left side of politics to support their agendas. To paraphrase people have a right to be members of a union but Australia is a non-compulsory union work place and shouldn't be an influence on policy making. Don't get me wrong, I'm an atheist and a huge critic of religions and the detrimental role they play in our world but there are other organisations which are analogous albeit it to a lesser extent.

he is going to turn the country into a comedy show; having said that lads, the establishment has always been more religions than the masses.

Hopefully he is putting in a few prayers for the economy - cause it's looking pretty farked at the moment.

God obviously listened to Trump, so S/he must be on the side of the conservatives.

It always amazes me the individuals ignore all logic and travel to countries like North Korea in spite of all the advice from government and
readily available sources.

A country whose government is controlled by an utter madman who is prepared to massacre millions of their own people in their own country and
hundreds of their own citizens abroad.

We then expect our government to pick up the pieces.

Having said all the above I hope and pray that he is OK and our government can bring him home safely.

I also am thankful that we may get some sense of balance with our re-elected government and PM in the debate around political correctness
Gender Identity and Renewable Energy. These areas have been controlled by the Loony left for too long and the
"silent majority" need to be able to be heard!

Amen to that Your Holiness.
