Hoping for First Dog’s support

I am a little diffident about approaching First Dog on the Moon with this request out of fear that the Moon bit in his name has something to do with Moonies. I am a bit of a dog fancier and have been persuaded to take up the cause of the dogs of South Korea by joining a worldwide campaign to get dog meat eating banned. First Dog would appear to be a natural ally, but I presume that the Moonies of that North Asian peninsular are as prone as the rest of the nation to chomping on a cooked dogs leg.

Perhaps this photo from the Seoul Times will persuade him to join the fight with me:

The Stop Killing Dogs petition will be presented to the Korean officials in Seoul by the Korea Animal Rights Advocates when at least or more than 1 million signatures have been collected.

And who knows. First Dog on the Moon might even do a little drawing that we can forward to the South Korean Ambassador to apply some real politiical pressure.

Unless, of course, he is actually a dog meat eating Moonie.

Morrison wants a high profile and he seeks the limelight. But that carries risks. There is always that salutary tale from Labor days. Paul Keating was passionate about introducing a broad-based consumption tax. Bob Hawke let ...

Lured onto Tik Tok by Peter Dutton

Image
There's a first time for everything even for an 82 year old. Today it was Tik Tok. Finally ventured to this much publicised site after a friendly referral to a story titled Spud Stands on his Record . It told how " Peter Spud Dutton, the joyless eeew tuber and social media phobe, has taken to TikTok." I could not resist and went searching. I was disappointed at not finding one of those glamorous all-singing all-dancing clips that have crossed my path on other sites after being down-loaded from Tik Tok. Instead there was this : An Opposition Leader explaining “… I really joined TikTok for one reason. It’s to tell you that we do not have to live in a country where you spend your whole life renting,” (Spud. Sept 2024). A very serious politician indeed. But one to lure younger voters to the Liberal Party? Perhaps if they are moved by a photo of the would-be leader as an outdoor man. Footnote The Australian Inependent Media Network has what it calls "a  far from comprehe...
