New Polling Indicates Conservative Party Support Lowest since 2019 Election
By Rory Cranstoun
10th Sep at 02:50 pm
New polling data from YouGov has revealed that support for the Conservative government under the leadership of Boris Johnson has fallen to levels unseen since the 2019 election, with Sir Kier Starmer’s Labour party taking a two-point lead.
The poll, which comes after the Conservatives’ decision on Tuesday to raise taxes on workers, employers, and investors to support the National Health Service (NHS), saw the party’s support slump five points to 33%, with Labour gaining one point and taking the lead at 35%.
The announcement of a highly controversial 1.25 percentage point increase on national insurance tax broke one of the Prime Minister’s six 2019 election “guarantees” and angered some Tory members. The policy, which some critics are predicting could be disastrous for the party, has undermined the Conservatives’ image of favouring small Government and low taxation.
Speaking on the results of the poll, Anthony Wells, political research director at YouGov, said that people should “be cautious of leaping to too many conclusions from a single poll.”
“But, it looks as if the government may have sacrificed their reputation for low taxes amongst Tory voters without actually getting much credit for helping the NHS.”
Meanwhile, Oliver Dowden, the culture minister, downplayed the results of the poll.
“Opinion polls come and go, what the government is doing is taking the long-term decisions in the national interest. In the end electorates reward governments who are willing to make difficult decisions in order to protect the national interest.”
Winston Churchill’s Namesake Charity Changes Name and Disassociates from the Wartime PM
A charity formerly known as “The Winston Churchill Memorial Trust” has changed its name to the “Churchill Fellowship” and removed all images of the former Prime Minister from its website. It later restored one of the images after both media and public backlash.

Any word on whether that intimidatingly brilliant and in my agent woman who recommended we make porn movies for children has weighed in on also producing the same level of violence in movies for children.
Surely it would not be a bad thing for a seven-year-old to watch the beginning of Saving Private Ryan. Or any movie currently rated ‘R’.
And with her new guidelines there are a whole lot of new movies that could be made!
Late afternoon in NYC now. Twenty years ago people were preparing to go home from work, maybe pick up some take-away, watch a little TV, go to bed. Others were packing bags, putting some clothes out for tomorrow, a quick dash to the airport for an early morning flight.
And another lot, filled with malice and given over to evil, were also preparing. We won’t go into how they spent the next few hours, it doesn’t bear thinking about.
What we see on the banner is still in the future. Today will hurry by, as days usually do, with a thousand cares and joys and little inconsequential activities, and we are heedless of what tomorrow might bring.
How much the world has changed.
Ha!
I tried using my phone voice recognition. Unfortunately it seems not to have the greatest vocabulary.
“In my agent “ should be “intelligent “.
It’s your Russian accent. Gets it every time.
Remember None? 😀
And another lot, filled with malice and given over to evil, were also preparing. We won’t go into how they spent the next few hours, it doesn’t bear thinking about.
There are three other groups that I think of.
First, the group of incompetent law enforcement types that didn’t put at least some of the pieces together to at least disrupt some of the plan.
Next, the group of sycophant law enforcement types that did put at least some of the pieces together, but didn’t want to rock the boat to at least disrupt at least some of the plan.
Last, the group of law enforcement types that knew most of what at least one of the four groups were doing, but ran dead with the clear intention of letting it playing out.
This upper echelon group never saw an incident/crisis that they couldn’t repurpose for their own ends.
One day I will get Moose and Squirrel.
It wasn’t a conspiracy.
It wasn’t an inside job.
But it wasn’t incompetence at the top end of law enforcement apparatus.
They knew & they did nothing.
My dad sometimes had a dig at mum about her family. Dad was in the police and thought of his side as being in a better class than mums battler parents. Mums dad had done three months for sheep stealing around 1930. I started researching our families when ancestry.com came along, found out that all dads side, men and women were all transported here in the 1830’s, got their tickets and like many then changed their names and moved to Melbourne. Turns out our family name is really Metcalf, told mum and dad, mum was delighted, however dad seemed remarkably uninterested, if I ever bring it up he just changes the subject.
Turns out on one of mums branches there’s an ancestor who was with Bill in 1066, took over English estates and the family was quite wealthy and influential till the late 1700’s, then our branch wandered off to relative poverty and eventually Australia with the Hentys at Portland. Dad wasn’t interested in that either.
I feel sorry for all the kids out there who must tell people that their father makes his money in dingy sticky cellars performing live sex acts on exotic animals while they are being slowly killed, rather than face the embarrassment of admitting that they are really police officers.
I was in New York when Osama Bin Laden was killed and coincidentally visited the twin towers site the morning the news was announced.
Huge day, many fire fighting crews from both New York and New Jersey there celebrating, lots of news crews and other people around too.

Yes.
Like the bleating doctor upthread.
If you have a serious underlying condition you take whatever precautions you deem approximate. Don’t expect the rest of the world to put their lives on hold indefinitely because you demand covid zero.
No-one is nonchalantly sacrificing the dry tinder but what they are demanding costs other people too much.
Why would anyone think doctors are exponents of independent advice as opposed to the government.
They are quasi public servants.
Very few operate without direct public funding or use of public assets to practise.
Quite possibly the most egregious imposition collectivists have foisted on us (among an almost interminable laundry list) is face nappies.
Thanks, you stupid fascist knobheads.

Tracing my family history was a fairly simple job as it turns out being a Geordie from County Durham equals coal mining/associated .. way, way back to 1585 on both sides .. except for my GG Daddy who although a coal miner shipped out (with all the family) to Oz in 1858 to try his luck in the goldfields of Ballarat .. My Great grandma (mum’s side) was born in Golden Point , Victoria in 1859 .. GG Daddy struck it rich, sold up and the whole family was back in County Durham by 1862 .. Great gran never saw Oz again!
She married in 1883 & her husband ( My great Great Grandad died early (38yrs) in a Typhoid outbreak in 1893 .. Great gran was left a widow with 4 kids to raise .. thus the family’s gold find was fairly short lived..
I lived in the same house with my gran for 19 years and never once did she mention her parents or upbringing .. same with my Dad .. on my 1st trip back in 2013 I asked him to verify the names of his grandparents .. Gran & Grandad.. he said … He never knew their names until I told him … he was 84 then!
Allegedly and apparently, various US and other intelligence agencies had bits of the picture which, if put together, would have enabled a swift and bloody prevention.
They didn’t want to share information with each other. It was a pissing contest.
New documents released under FOI confirm:
Fauci, Daszak, the “batwoman” & NIH Director Francis Collins all lied.
From Rosie’s link:
As I write, I sit opposite the 20-year-old girlfriend of my middle son. She is an impressive young woman. In challenging family circumstances, she had an early departure from school, but went on to complete an apprenticeship in wooden boat building. She rose to high rank in the air cadets and now holds down a responsible job in cyber security while studying for a full-time degree in that same subject. She is insightful, funny and kind and is planning to go on to study medicine. She is also an extremely brittle Type 1 diabetic, since infancy on an insulin pump.
She has had frequent hospital admissions with diabetic ketoacidosis and suffers a number of diabetic complications.
That story doesn’t add up.
“I was in New York when Osama Bin Laden was killed and coincidentally visited the twin towers site the morning the news was announced.
Huge day, many fire fighting crews from both New York and New Jersey there celebrating, lots of news crews and other people around too.”
I don’t know who exactly Obama had offed in the raid but I put high odds it wasn’t Bin Laden. It is funny how he had such a low profile after 9/11 with only very few obviously faked videos then nothing for years.
I suspect it was a Paki who looked a bit like Bin Laden who the Paki government wanted out of the way. Either that or the whole video evidence of the raid was faked and nobody died that day. The Pakis didn’t mount any response to the raid even though a military barracks was not far away. They were obviously in on it.
I think it still possible that Bin Laden is alive or he died at Tora Bora in 2002.
Our new tee-shirt
And some old family history and stuff still marching on the auld fred too, Rabz.
First off here though, 9/11. That chilling black and white photo distances it in time, which is appropriate as twenty years have passed. Coloration, as we see with the old WW1 photos, pushes it back in our faces. There are so many photos of the Twin Towers in an inferno of red.
A hellish day, and we should never forget it, nor the bravery displayed there.
Do you mean today’s cartoon by Johannes or the one by Bill for the book review? If it’s today’s, it is the Yank Skank who lives on Scotland Island getting preselected for the electorate of Fowler, which has a large Vietnamese community.

My mum’s family was from Liverpool, so I’m a supporter of those mighty Reds.

And in an unsurprising twist, members of Congress & their staffers are exempt from Grumpy Joe’s vaccine mandate.
Just like insider trading laws.
Just like Obama-care.
Just like defund the police.

Thanks for that Tom. What a priceless gem Bill was…..targeted by the fascist left…..because he drew the TRUTH.
I saw him only a little over a week before he died.
Who cares about Osama conspiracies?
Not me.
I’ve really enjoyed reading the family history commentary here, for it shows how variable are the fortunes of families over time, and connects us in the present to the tremendous struggles made by our ancestors, our very own genetic lines, in the past, until we reach the present day of ‘known’ family members. Fascinating, and no wonder most people in retirement want to search back their origins.
Speaking of lies, the ABC is relentless.
I turned on the car radio this morning to hear the announcer solemnly intone that new figures reveal the covid pandemic has led to greater economic inequality in Australia.
I was expecting a report on the glaring disparity of the impact of lockdowns on public and private sector workers. But no…it seems the gender pay gap has increased!
I’d just got back from an arvo shift. 11.30 p.m. or thereabouts, and on the couch having a beer watching the teev. Sandra Sully said something about an accident where a plane had hit a skyscraper in NY.
Switched to cable. Watched the lot after that. Some time in, The Skank (the ex-Mrs KD) emerged from the bedroom. ‘What are you doing?’
‘World Trade Centre – planes into buildings – buildings down, thousands of people – FMD – hijackings – Jesus – ‘ aaaand so on.
It stared at the teev, actually watching the second tower collapse, then said ‘oh. Are you coming to bed soon? I have work in the morning.’
It is therefore no surprise, given this stunning lack of what Shane Warne calls ‘match awareness’, that she is now in Brisvegas, and said to be a yuuuuge Pallashay fan.
Every day for the past eight and half years has been great.
I play chiple jay in the background on workdays. They push a seriously hard collectivist agenda on impressionable yoof.
Helps me maintain my rage against the ALPBC while extracting my eight cents worth.
Please Rabz.
Is this a priority right now?
{Scowly face}:{pointy finger}
No it doesn’t BBS not for someone now aged twenty.
Unless wooden boat apprenticeships are three years and she got it aged 16. But even then…
Hard to believe it was twenty years ago……it was very early in the morning when my mother rang me to tell me what was happening in NYC….I ran to my living room, turned the television on and watched what was ensuing….shocked.
That morning, when I went to work, I caught the train from Bondi Junction to Martin Place….I’ve never forgotten the eerie silence on the train. Nobody was talking.
Why does Triple JJJ still exist?
You can stream what ever music you want for free.
You can stream any lefty cliche podcast for free.
Triple JJJ did serve a purpose 30 years ago.
As of now, it’s a piece of the legacy media that can be restructured.
I’d also like someone to define ‘high rank’ in the context of air cadets.
Thanks, that makes sense now although, I must say, he was definitely flattering her. I wasn’t following closely enough to know where she lived.
Tom, Leak, Brown, Ramirez and, I can’t believe it but, for only the second time ever, Rowe.
I was up late watching The West WIng (don’t hate me, I was very uninformed back then) when news about the first plane blared n the screen. I thought, this is an interesting plot twist. … It took a few seconds for realisation to hit that I was no longer watching a TV series. I sobbed and watched for hours in utter dismay and sorrow.
Plus the favoured local nominee is a young Vietnamese woman.
She’s complained that the Vietnamese community has been taken for granted by the ALP and has vowed to fight for pre-selection.
Pass the popcorn.
9/11 gave us so much.
The Patriot act.
The greatest surveillance state the world has ever known.
A 20 year war that allowed new weaponry & tech to be tested non stop.
The start of central bank hyper intervention.
And the turbo charging of DARPA that gave us the so many of the tools most the above use to enslave populations.
Couldn’t have worked out better.
FDR would have a 12 foot boner in hell right now.
Triple J is about as cool as a Dad in a Billabong T shirt. Full of middle aged undergraduates waiting for their Journolotto win and a transfer to RN.
Best avoided.
Thanks Tom.
The ones about FucKeneally are good.
I even slightly smirked at the one by Rowe – usually scroll past him
It was sheer chance that I didn’t see the events in NY twenty years ago unfold live. Woke up to the dulcet tones of Karen Barlow (who I was friends with back in the day – magnificent boozies) intoning that both towers had been destroyed and countless thousands were believed dead.
Sprinted out to the living room, turned on the teev and watched the monstrousness unfold.
9/11 was a harbinger of a horror that is yet to fully unfold. Mankind’s appetite for destruction will never be whet. We’ve been blessed not have witnessed the sort of shit my parent’s generation lived through.
But we will and soon. I fear this insanity we’re existing in at the moment is merely the prelude.
While I disagree with this emergency room doctor about ‘opening up’, for he is captive to a Marxist vision of the world where profit and capitalism are dirty words, and he has no idea of what a real economy looks like, I still think his outline of that young woman’s history could be true.
She left school say at fifteen, learned a skill, joined air cadets and her talents showed, she got a job in cyber security, and is now thinking at twenty of doing medicine. You could overlay my own history in the 1950’s and early sixties over this and it might seem just as unrealistic (replace copywriting with cyber security) but it is true, and luckily I did not have a history of Type 1 diabetes (but my sister did). Those are vibrant developmental years for a young woman and if she seizes opportunities then the world is her oyster.
The doctor’s point that many people have chronic conditions was also true, but overblown. In population terms these do not compare numerically with the chronic conditions of those over 70.
Bear, I have a G-Star Raw hoodie (over 10 years old).
The question is, how cool does that make me?
Ostensibly to support alternative music and promote Australian content.
In actuality it’s a propaganda arm of the long marchers (est. 1976).
Pace Gil Scott-heron, the revolution is not only being televised, it’s being subsidised.
That doctor also neglects the fact that the immune system of younger people is always much younger and stronger and puts them at an immeasurable advantage when compared to the declining immunity we sadly get as we age.
Yes, it hasn’t changed a bit since then. The music has got worse, that’s all.
Can we please import Ron de Santis.
Nobody should lose their jobs based on this decision
Why are the labore pardee so determined to foist this screechy monstrous loser on the populace?

This fowler stunt may yet backfire on the fat useless dunderheads.
I feel asleep on the couch that night.
I woke up with my phone buzzing – it was such a cool flip phone.
“Turn on the TV”, I did.
Tower one on fire.
Then I saw the second plane hit.
Oh shit.
Channel surfing that evening, apart from the buildings coming down, the only thing I can remember was for some reason Channel 9 had Richard Wilkins join the desk of whoever else they had on covering the events.
Richard Wilkins & his magnificent hair.
Oh and my main gripe with jjj having been subjected on various occasions.
Much local female content of dubious quality.
The problem is that it is indeed whetted but never sated.
Ostensibly to support alternative music and promote Australian content.
Rog, you can (understandably) lay into them all you like, but they actually do support and promote Ozzie content.
It’s all the other shit that grates. Like that vile smarmy pseudo intellectual wanker Quacktor Karl hectoring the yoof to go and get the jab, or the clerisy will never deign to give them their erstwhile freedoms back.
It should be shut down. Then at least I’d finally be able to go back and mine my CD collection.
It’s already begun.
Much support for the Vietnamese lass.
Albo will have to show some leadership here. Cough.
Richard Wilkins = the man who does the most driving on Fathers Day. But only in the Right Suburbs,
Terrorists failed to crush our way of life which is the title of a column in The Oz today written by Scummo.
The title gives enough away to get the gist of the thing without having to read it.
And, yes, it wasn’t the terrorists who did that to us. It was our own governments both Federal and State that over the last 18 months did it to us.
Take a bow, PM, you’ve achieved more than any terrorist ever did.
450 new cases for Victoria,
See what a progressive government can do for you.

Rabz, the music -if one can call it that – is the bait.
I remember when Triple J sponsored a comp where a little band called Innocent Criminals would play a lunch time gig for the Newcastle school who won.
Broadmeadow High School won.
Little did they expect thousands of kids from other schools all over the region would show up to listen from outside the school.
They had a lot of success & then they changed their name to silverchair, released Frog Stomp & went parabolic.
I have a friend who was visiting NYC for a business trip on that awful day. He was in a building very very close to the WTC…..like many who were there in NYC, he rarely speaks about what happened that day. He was in a business meeting and, whilst he and others at the meeting didn’t hear anything when the first plane hit, he remembers sitting at the conference table and he saw what he initially thought was snow falling…..which he found odd. It took a a good few minutes before someone rushed into the let them know what was happening. They all went to the windows and saw the debris falling from the first plane hitting one of the towers.
Snap schlockdowns working a treat (again).
Oh yes.
This monstrously affluent and civilised period in human history is so good to us that as a species we can afford veganism, personal pronouns, hideously expensive renewable electricity and to handsomely pay those who don’t want to earn a living. Nobody has to defend their backyard with household and garden tools from neighbours who want to take it by force of conquest.
Human nature is human nature, and like it or not we are a violent, bastard warlike animal.
Pleasant people are pleasant because they are fed and housed and clothed. No other reason. Take that away and they will bite your face off to get what you have.
The last 75 years was a blip, and a return to normal programming will no doubt occur.
Strange that the CIA and FBI didn’t think to FOI the 900 pages of smoking gun:

Peter Dutton has overruled the Dept of Defence again.
On the advice of Hastie and Lewis, Dutton has scrapped the merging of SAS and Commando selection courses.
Detailed reasoning in Ben Packham’s column in the Oz.
Sounds to me like a logical move and another example of Dutton putting “mission readiness” over woke policy.
The argument for the entire ABC is that public broadcasting is needed to address a ‘market failure’. The Internet has totally voided that argument now, with streaming services for music and television, subscription TV, digital multi channels on free to air, which are available via terrestrial and satellite to everyone in the country, and online radio stations from worldwide. My kitchen benchtop radio can pick up stations from anywhere using my wifi connection and I’m listening to a station from Munich right now.
There is no raison d’être for the ABC.
Good work by Dutton – overruling the wokes in Defence.
This is why he’s popular among soldiers.
Every shift towards “woke” makes their job harder.

Only Sydneysiders could really appreciate Leak cartoon this morning as they wouldn’t realise the boat reference not knowing where she was living . I got it but did not know the ethnic makeup of where she was moving .
As for Dan
ITS NOT FAIR !
Now more than a month in Lockdown 6 . Total now longer than the Siege of Stalingrad .
Not fair that he buggered up contact tracing, quarantine using untrained security,
800 plus deaths
Devastated businesses.
All this was even before a vaccine had been made .
Maybe he needs a cognitive impairment test given the amount of forgettery he suffers.
With even more failure.
Dan is breathtaking

As I write, I sit opposite the 20-year-old girlfriend of my middle son. She is an impressive young woman. In challenging family circumstances, she had an early departure from school, but went on to complete an apprenticeship in wooden boat building. She rose to high rank in the air cadets and now holds down a responsible job in cyber security while studying for a full-time degree in that same subject. She is insightful, funny and kind and is planning to go on to study medicine. She is also an extremely brittle Type 1 diabetic, since infancy on an insulin pump.
She has had frequent hospital admissions with diabetic ketoacidosis and suffers a number of diabetic complications.
People who have major illness can rise up and achieve a lot but she’s had frequent hospital stays and yet completed ,or is in the midst of, completing and she’s only 20.
Most times, though it doesn’t restrict achievement major illness can delay it.
I would think a boat building apprenticeship would be hard yakka, which given her health status, would suggest further difficulty to maintain her training and complete it.
Then what?, straight into cyber security! You would think you’d need some training before getting a job in that sector. And still only 20? It doesn’t add up.
Mole – Ozzie Hip Hop is an obscenity that even I will not tolerate.

Should Canberra ask Andrews to pay for the ABC in Victoria?
Tend to agree, BBS. The mayo thickness might be excessive.
Model building of boats that were made of wood. Next.
Which infers that she’d spent a considerable time rising to whatever a high rank in the air cadets is.
A ‘responsible job’ in cyber security could be the till jockey at JB Hi-Fi. How does cyber-security fit with the specialist field of wooden boat construction? What sort of career path is this?
Look. Frankly, this is beginning to look like either an early run at beatification, or if this is even remotely true – completed manual labour apprenticeship combined with ‘high rank’ in cadethood combined with responsible employment combined with full time study combined with being frequently in hospital combined with being 20 years old – you’d wonder what sort of leg-ups have been offered.
So, to summarise – yeah nah nah but yeah nah yeah nah.
Human nature is human nature, and like it or not we are a violent, bastard warlike animal.
Checkout chimpanzees, KD. They are bastards too. We likely have a common ancestor.
Hiden Biden…
Biden Will Not Deliver Live Remarks on 9/11 Anniversary
President Joe Biden will not give a live speech to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks. He will instead release a prerecorded video of his remarks.
“You will hear from [Biden] in the form of a video in advance—or if that will be available that day, I should say,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Thursday.
The president will attend events at all three 9/11 memorial sites—in New York City, Pennsylvania, and at the Pentagon—on Saturday, the anniversary of the attacks. Psaki said Biden’s busy schedule that day precluded him from giving a live address.
Former president Donald Trump delivered live remarks to commemorate the attacks on each of the four years of his administration, as did former president Barack Obama each year of his two terms.
Or has his brain soup degenerated so much they cant trust him to deliver live remarks??
Im willing to go out on a limb and speculate President brainworms would be incapable of delivering a series of speeches without cacking his man-nappies.
I think there’s one of them at my local Woollies.
N.B. Abortion is not a medical procedure.
And she’s going to do medicine next.
What?
Who wrote the dross about the wooden boat building diabetic?
A doctor called David Berger, rabz.
this Dr David Berger?
While completing a degree in cyber-security, apparently.
Perhaps she wants to be one of those robot doctors that gave Luke Skywalker his prosthetic Terminator arm at the end of The Empire Strikes Back.
Thanks Rose, I won’t bother checking the link.
Rogers you are repeating half truths about responsibilities straight out of the Guardian or ABC
Andrews was offered the ADF to help with quarantine which he refused opting instead for a security firm located in Sydney who subcontracted to a agent in Melbourne . Staff recruited came from part of Melbourne with large families, poor English and also worked in other jobs and family members working in nursing homes .Friend’s son was recruited online given no training in health safety just told to report to a floor in hotel and he would be told what to do.
Like Andrews and his ilk , poor memory for facts especially it they don’t fit the narrative .
Worth remembering that on this day twenty years ago Islam declared war on the west….and all we’ve done since that dreadful day is obfuscate, fudge, delude and deny the reality of what occurred. Remember how it only took a day or two for George W Bush to insist that Islam is a religion of peace…recall how he and his wife visited a mosque in the immediate wake of the attack to preach the LIE that Islam is a peaceful religion. That’s akin to Churchill visiting the German embassy after Germany invaded Poland on 1 September 1939. And we still get fed the LIE that any terrorist attack by a Muslim has nothing to do with Islam…..most recently by that ghastly woman in NZ after the supermarket stabbings in Auckland.
Lol it would only make you mad trust me. 🙂
Rogers you are repeating half truths about responsibilities straight out of the Guardian or ABC
No, that is the legal position, min.
Thus at the first national cabinet meeting the Commonwealth promised to oversee security and protective measures at nursing homes. They dropped the ball and the Minister subsequently went missing.
And while hindsight may be a wonderful thing, it is now clear that hotel quarantine was a disaster waiting to happen. Andrews is directly to blame for that in Victoria, but it was Morrison’s decision to delegate Commonwealth responsibilities to the states that set it up to happen. Quarantine at home should have been maintained until the Commonwealth was able to equip existing facilities – of which there is no shortage – or build dedicated new facilities. There was no urgency to their response at any stage, leaving 30 000+ citizens stranded abroad. It is only now that they are building such a facility near the Brisbane airport.
These are not “half-truths”, these are the facts.
The Islamic war against the West began on the Iberian peninsular in the 700s.
The Biden admin is rancid.
Boat building = Airfix.
Cyber security = helping gran recover her passwords.
High up in cadets = two Scout badges.
Also, how long have insulin pumps been around?
Feelthebern:
I bet there are a lot of people wondering just what the Hell has cheated its way into the White House. I can’t at the moment think of one Leader in Christendom who isn’t drunk on the power they have seized.
This reminds me of what the German peoples must have thought when the Enabling Act was passed in 1933.
Or has his brain soup degenerated so much they cant trust him to deliver live remarks??
Biden no longer has a brain, chemicals are keeping him going; but there’s no brain left.
Im willing to go out on a limb and speculate President brainworms would be incapable of delivering a series of speeches without cacking his man-nappies.
Biden is brain dead; all that is left is some form of reflexive conditioning.

All ‘details’aside, the Commandos and SASR have always selected for different characters and characteristics. They have different missions and foci, after all.
After the Counter-Terrorism element and some Counter-Insirgency work is stripped away, Commandos are raiders. They work in Platoon and Company groups, and are meant to bully their way into and back out of a fight. They are a supercharged and more specialised Infantry Battalion.
The SASR are reconaissance soldiers, and geared towards very unconventional work that is meant to be hyper-covert and discreet. They have traditionally worked in Section-sized groups, and to have more than a Troop in one location for a task is extremely unusual.
An intelligent Defence Force would have attemped to raise at least a second ARA Commando Regiment, or upskilled at least one Company in each its regular RAR Battalions to do the same style of intelligence-driven disruption ops that was foisted on SASR and 2CDO during the last 20 years.
It would have greatly improved the general proficiency and readiness of the ARA’s line battalions and Regular and Reserve Arms Corps units alike, through the inevitable skills osmosis of trained and certified guys showing their colleagues ‘how things are done where I come from.’ Be it through formally delivered courses or through the classic ‘Soldier’s Five.’
It would have also preserved 2CDO and SASR, and let them focus on their actual missions.
Instead we got 20 years of institutional exhaustion, wasted lives and experience, a ‘War Crimes’ investigation process that stands to outlast the war (and warriors) it purports to be examining, and (until Dutton canned it) a ‘Training’ and ‘Selection’ solution that would have delivered to both Commandos and SASR alike soldiers who certifably met the generic checklist for ‘Special Forces’ fitness and temperament, but totally unfit for either’s purposes.
But at least there would be more Staff Positions and funding for pet projects in the expanded Special Forces Training pipeline…
I recall watching a tv show late in the evening about Muhammad but this was the Ali kind. They interrupted the movie to show live from NY a plane had flown into the WTC tower. Having been there and viewed from the top it got my attention. Then we watched the second plane go in. I rang my brother and we both watched the surreal scenes. I said at the time ‘this will change the world and not in a good way’. I watched one tower collapse and stunned went to bed. My brother rang back and said the second one had collapsed. One god awful moment in world history brought to global living rooms live.
Life is not all upside, it has its down moments. The ups and downs are called risk. Life goes on. Looking out my kitchen window from lockdown Melbourne I never imagined we would sacrifice so much to keep ourselves ‘safe’. But here we are. The world did change and not in a good way.
She could well’ve been an officer though: my dad made it to 2nd Lt in army cadets in high school, and probably could’ve gone on to a serious career in the ADF if he’d been inclined. Instead he became a teacher and reached senior principal at an early age, such is his drive. Good teacher too. I was in his class for two years. Couldn’t ever get out of homework.
Aris Roussinos has a weakness on AGW, but he’s otherwise worth reading on international affairs:
How bin Laden’s prophecies came true.
““I hope you all die,” the caller added along with a torrent of cursing.
In another call, a man said: “I don’t know why you scumbags, Jews, think you can have a party while we’re all in lockdown and scumbags like yourselves think you are above the world as Jews. It is bad enough that I can’t stand Jews but now it’s even worse.”
The phone calls were reported to police, Abramovich said, assessing that anger over the party has been fueled by frustration at the extended lockdown.
“Everyone’s tolerance threshold is at breaking point,” he said.”
Oh…so Abramovich is making excuses for the Jew hating abuse……disgraceful. Abramovich represents everything wrong with Jewish communal organisations ….he’s a leftist liberal……this is a prime example of what I wrote last night. There is no excuse for such anti-Semitic abuse.

Fact check: true.
And don’t forget:
(a) Maximum Leader had issued a press release confirming that the ADF would be involved;
(b) there was no public request for expressions of interest, no tender process, no approach to any company which was actually on the State government’s own list of preferred providers of security services, just a phone call to a director and substantial shareholder in the company (who, by an amazing coincidence, was a former State vice-President of the Labor party);
(c ) six hours after that phone call, a contract was signed under which the company became entitled to over $30 million of taxpayers’ money.;
… and the rest is history.

Strange that the CIA and FBI didn’t think to FOI the 900 pages of smoking gun:
Intelligence investigation is inconclusive on virus’s origins, but finds SARS-CoV-2 wasn’t weaponized and is unlikely to have been engineered.
An oversight. Obviously.

Peter Dutton has overruled the Dept of Defence again.
On the advice of Hastie and Lewis, Dutton has scrapped the merging of SAS and Commando selection courses.
Detailed reasoning in Ben Packham’s column in the Oz.
Sounds to me like a logical move and another example of Dutton putting “mission readiness” over woke policy.
Now cancel the Frog Tadpoles.

Junior was 12 when the planes hit the Tower and attending a Catholic parochial school in the East 30s. The staff ushered them all into the basement where, kids being kids, they were screaming and yelling and running about. When I got there to collect him, there was this white noise of little kids rising out of the basement.
Fruit of my loins wasn’t there, however. Instead of going downstairs he had slipped out of school and was sitting at the corner of Third and 28th watching the refugees head north on foot and refrigerated trucks from the Hunts Point Market going south to collect what authorities assumed would be a lot of bodies. There weren’t. The dead were mostly pulverised in the collapses, then cooked for months in the smouldering rubble. Here a finger, there a foot — that was all for the most part all there was to be found.
And those kids laughing and having fun in the basement at the novelty of it all, oh the tragic irony.
It was a working class school and a lot of the kids fathers were cops or firemen. Those kids weren’t going to see their fathers ever again. One of Ned’s classmates fathers, NYFD Officer Foti, turned out to be a bigamist who had two separate families, each oblivious to the other’s existence. The two wives met for the first time by his coffin.
For a year afterwards the Epiphany church, never had less than one coffin in the nave.
When Ned was Confirmed that year, they had to move three coffins to the side so the kids could line up for their slap on the face.
Strange days. And then came the anthrax letters.
Hence my prediction of a midnight (local time) dispatch with the lead pipe.
No need. They just ignore the people.
They aren’t even pretending to care any more.
