Monday Noticeboard

Today's noticeboard is again brought to you by performer and parent Holly Valance, who is single-handedly redeeming the entire Australian theatrical profession.

Having previously startled luvvies with her dangerously normal views, Valance now aims to take down doom goblin Greta, among other targets:

Speaking to Chris Hope on the first episode of GB News’s new Chopper’s Political Podcast, Valance described 21-year-old Thunberg as “odd”.

“I don’t understand why you have this, like, demonic little gremlin high priestess of climatism as the goddess in classrooms, Greta,” Valance said.

“And the kids are all coming home with depression and anxiety. Why would you go to your music lesson or bother doing your homework or get out of bed if you think we’re all going to be dead in five years anyway … ?

“Why would you bother? It doesn’t give anybody hope.”

Good call. Valance also dealt with her nanny state homeland:

The dual national (Australia and the UK) hit out at Australia in the GB News interview, saying the country was plagued with “problems” as a result of the increasing “woke stuff”.

“I’ll get a ticket within the first two hours of arriving, doing something, parking in the wrong place, going one K over the 30 or 25 K speed limit,” she said.

“The Australia I grew up in was unreal. It was so fun and we didn’t seem to have all these problems. The woke stuff’s really gone big in Australia.”

That’s a beautiful line: “The Australia I grew up in was unreal.” And she’s only talking about 30 years ago. Our country can be reclaimed.
