As a cartoonist for Australia’s only business daily, David Rowe has never met a socialist he didn’t like or a capitalist he didn’t hate.
But if Rowe has a PhD in hypocrisy, Peter Broelman has a master’s degree.
Broelman, who lives in the Adelaide suburbs and wouldn’t know one end of the bush from the other, is syndicated to a number of regional newspapers and uniformly loathes the people his readers love, like Pauline Hanson, Craig Kelly, Bananaby Joyce and his latest target George Christensen.
Like every dumb green-left keyboard warrior in Australia, for Broelman, conservative politicians trigger an impulsive spewing of tribal hate. He’s a troll you wouldn’t piss on if he was on fire.
Looking at the UAP’s $60m 2019 performance, I’m pretty sure that’s going to be his major hurdle in voterland. There’s some sort of a political message built into scoring less than the donkey vote.

That and securing 200-odd credible candidates to storm Canberra with.
A headache reported at the time of the jab may seem trivial, but may well be the first indication of those micro-clots that have been noted. What may ensue from that, well we just don’t know yet, so any reports of even seemingly “trivial” effects may well be of significance in further research and conclusions about safety.
So, yes, ALL effects should be reported.
Medicare number and MyGov are just the start. Hawkie’s wet dream. As it is the ATO finds out about your income before you do.
It’s now 3 weeks since my second Pfizer shot.
No email yet from NSW health asking if there were any side effects.
From memory, after shot one I got the adverse effects email 2 weeks afterwards.
Do they not care?
Do they not want to know the answers ?
“That and securing 200-odd credible candidates to storm Canberra with.”

Simples, the WA government will just pass a new piece of legislation which says that anyone named Clive can’t sue them and that they don’t recognise the High Court.
Fortuna is inclined to take a peek to ensure that doesn’t occur. There was a tort case against the British government when someone left the hatch of a submarine open. They lost!

Yup, this is pretty much what they did last time… the gravity of the situation only dawned on me recently.
-A private company did not have a deal honoured by the State.
-The State was found in error by Federal Court.
-The State passed laws to not pay.
So, talk about sovereign risk! If you have a deal with the State, it is as useful as toilet paper (a rare commodity these days but still no value).

I’ve been saying that since the big steal last November. The lights are out…permanently. It’s over.
They’re so blatant now that the left is able to get away with saying anything because they cheat at the polls and their constituents are disgusting swine.
The other day, oldsom had a go at Elder by saying California needed diversity in their political leaders and Elder doesn’t offer that.

-Pharma has paid out $111M Euros to date.

There’s massive concern the recall was rigged. Now get this. In August, the polls were showing the vote was extremely close with the possibility Elder was in front. Then as September came along and the northern part of the state was essentially burning down with air quality at close to zero, Oldsom’s polls began to perk up. This was also the time when the only reason the state didn’t experience an electricity shutdown was because the smog from the fires was causing the summer temperature to be lower than you’d expect. …. All through this Oldsom magically makes a recovery in the polls, which align with the ultimate vote. Someone suggests we read David Rubin’s twitter to get an anecdotal sense how the cheating went.
Lol. It’s so blatant and they don’t even care.

The problem is near universal suffrage. We don’t, rightly, allow children to vote, and we shouldn’t allow people with the mentality of children to vote.

If you have to go to these lengths it kind of shows precisely what the demonstrators had meant to show – that people are sick of these policies.
Only this way Dan shows he knows.
If he thought the demonstrations were going to embarrass themselves through meagre numbers or froot-loopery then it would be better to have it broadcast and humiliate the protesters.
Perhaps he is hoping that if there are protests they will be small and fragmented, and the MSM – always looking for a way to be lazy and sycophantic – will film maybe a couple of the protests and speak as if that was all there was.

JC – When I have my VPN set to the US, which is a more reliable server, I get endless advertising from Newsom on all sorts of websites that “your mail-in ballot is in the mail!!!” (And I only allow advertising from righty websites who need the revenue.)
Absolutely A-1 clear what is happening. The full Orange County 2018 stuff plus, I suspect, the whole 2020 box of tricks as well. A single election is a perfect opportunity to do that since the available resources can be assigned to just the one election.
Surber had this yesterday:
Why Democrats don’t care about 2022 (13 Sep)
I think he is right for the wrong reason. I think the Dems will build on 2020 and steal the House in the mid-terms. They were weirdly confident in the run up to the Prez election, despite Biden staying in his basement except for occasional rallies of six people. While Trump was overflowing football stadiums. They were confident because they knew the deck was stacked cold. They’re confident now for the same reason: the deck is stacked. Why would California be any different from the mid-terms? They dare not allow real investigations, so they must control the House and the Senate, and the recall election is an excellent practice opportunity
Thanks for the clarification, Bruce in WA.
Seriously. The Beloved thought he had died yesterday.*
These people are ridiculous. “Othering” and demonising in the here and now, weeping for the past.
* I don’t watch the tripe any more. Best I don’t comment on it either.

I’m just speculating here, but I think the house seats and senate seats to a lessor extent are much more difficult to steal. The reason is the precincts for the house aren’t as easy to control.

Not a single case of COVID from the August protest ‘superspreader’.

Correct. They simply imply it. I have heard a few dummies come to this absurd conclusion.
Yes JC that’s true. But the Dems successfully ran their machine in at least eight states in the 2020 election. That’s after piloting it in Orange County in 2018 with great efficacy. This time they have the House, Senate & Presidency behind them and a huge incentive to control all three. If real scrutiny is focused on them the whole house of cards is in danger. So they have to steal the House in the midterms, or the GOP will be coming with serious intent.
The complacency and lack of urgency right now is so like the Prez election. We saw why that was. Now the same general smugness to me indicates that they think they have this is in the bag. Despite the horrible polls and Biden’s dementia.

There was more than one YouTube video that claimed the envelopes had a hole punched in the that would have revealed 50% of yes votes for recall straight off. (Depended on which way you put the ballot paper in the envelope.)

That fucking POS sheridan, on bolt, is defending miley, the treasonous general, who said he would warn the chunks if Trump was going to attack them, because Trump is erratic, unstable and behaved appallingly after legitimately losing the election.

This morning at the Cafe the head water was woken at 5:20am by a magpie on the front doormat. The southern male, who has two ladies – both with nests and chicks. He’s got big swinging balls. Even worse his ladies are his daughters. I should call him Lot. He certainly gets a lot.
Anyway today it was fun because he took large amounts of mince to the kids of the sister in the nest in tree in next door’s yard. That was good. But then after lunch head waiter decided to go down to the local reserve for a walk in the sunshine. Mr Lot followed. Whereupon his other lady saw me and came for extra rations (she can’t get to the Cafe because her relations with her sister are exactly as you might expect).
So then I was followed around the reserve by Mr Lot, who had obviously decided this was a great opportunity to get back in the good books with Sister. So he took several relays of mince to her chicks, who’ve clearly also hatched.
I’m amused by this bird. He’s got two whole families going, and the kids are both his kids and his grandkids. The genetics must be like spaghetti. Remains to be seen if they have two heads or not.
The trip to the reserve was also cause for a small war. Two grey butcherbird males saw me at about the same time. Both are very friendly. Both hate each other’s guts. Fortunately they survived their combat and, in different well separated parts of the reserve, accepted their chunks of mince from head waiter.
So if you find me posting grumpy comments at 5:30 am this is why. I have quite a few alarm clocks, and they don’t have snooze buttons.

Just like there were a couple 100,000 votes in the Presidential election where people voted for Biden, but didn’t mark the paper for house, senate & the million other things on each states ballot paper, there are now counties in California where votes said no to the recall, but didn’t mark the paper for a range of petitions in various counties.
In November, statistically it was an impossibility when compared to all previous elections.
Time will tell how anomalous the California elections were.

Thanks Calli.
I think a lot of TDS stems from the perception that Trump is insufficiently genteel. This is important to those who’ve identified themselves as being a certain sort of intellectual, and both Blot and Sheridan are in that class. They assume that their taboos are universal among the educated and intelligent, as a more recent bunch feel about wokeness. It’s actually a sign of pathetically limited experience of people that allows either to imagine they are intelligent or educated.

“identified themselves as being a certain sort of intellectual, and both Blot and Sheridan are in that class”
They “identify” as intellectuals much like a male with a penis who puts on a dress and lipstick and identifies as a woman.
Blot and Sheridan are not intellectuals and the male with a penis who wears a dress is not a woman.

Amazing how some celebrate the past sacrifices of young men overseas in the cause of freedom, but then imagine that people exercising those freedoms by peaceably protesting the draconian measures adopted over the last 18 months, given the purported risks to themselves by his own lights, are ‘selfish’. I suppose it is very hard to adjust to the light of day when you spend the vast majority of it with your head inserted in Perfidious Dan’s rectum.

There is no discontent against the ALP Left or the Greens, it seems. Just as when Jim Cairns returned from a junket to the Soviet Union in 1971 and assured us that there was no dissent there.

When that film came out, there was much weeping and wailing, and cries of “waaacissssm”, because the protagonists were Asian in appearance. Unthinkable! But no suggestion as to which European nation was in a position to invade Australia at short notice.
Now, after Belt and Road, Confucius Institutes, and overt threats from Chynerr, (to say nothing of apparently disloyal attitudes among our political “elite”), it looks rather prophetic.

Graveyards are more active at midnight!
I am fast losing patience with everyone on Sky and Fox. There is a mantra that hosts and guests must say before expressing any other opinion. They all must state that the 6th January protests were disgusting and unforgivable. I don’t agree particularly when compared to the BLM and Antifa riots and burning of cities, it was a half hearted attempt at breaking into the Capitol building.
That this happens with every host and guest almost like a refrain tells me that Murdochs have issued an order that must be obeyed.
Old Bloke….The Brick with Eyes….Glenn Lazarus.
Breaking in? There’s film showing them being ushered in, with the barriers opened. It was entrapment to the max and, even so, nothing really happened apart from someone sitting in Pelosi’s chair and, oh yes, one of the protestors being cold bloodedly murdered.

Bird droppings everywhere. The guy is on speed.
What part of the word “excruciating” do you have difficulty in understanding?
Excellent banner, Dover.
For a bloke who worked at the St.Kilda CIB in the 80s and now runs a police force of 15,000 people, Shane Patton should be able to use his noggin. Instead, if the protesters have any sort of leadership or planning skills at all, Patton’s just gifted them the narrative, the moral high ground and the media.
And he’s allowed the protesters a priceless 72 hours’ notice.
By barricading the CBD, he’s given himself a nightmare to defend. Sure, it’s a rectangular grid pattern but it’s shot through with endless bluestone alleys, water access, rail access for all but six hours of one day and a trillion dollar economic enterprise exerting pressure for every second of that six hours, as well as the 24 before and after.
Every single one of those hard barricades requires defending. You can’t just leave it there because people will go over it, under it or around it.
Let’s go with Patton getting every single one – about 15,000 – of VicJack Inc in for the day, to achieve his stated aim of barricading and protecting the CBD. There are 24 major ‘gateway’ intersections around its edge (45 if you count the internal ones). By Patton’s rationale, each one has to be barricaded and thus defended.
For the sake of argument, he could (or would, or should, depending on your point of view) have 12,000 of that 15,000 on those barricades with the remaining 3,000 as a mobile reserve of sorts. So – each barricaded intersection would have 500 cops attached to it.
Except it wouldn’t because with overlapping shifts of 10 hours each that’s 170 per intersection. Take away unavailability and the growing trend of ‘sickness’ in VicJack Inc, and you have about 140 per intersection. Except you haven’t, because you need more of those cops for transport, communications, paperwork, intelligence gathering, logistics, planning and the management of those thousands upon thousands of essential workers inside the CBD at the time of the anticipated protest. So, around 100 cops per barricaded gateway intersection.
Except reality dictates that its absolute peak you might get half of VicJack Inc for this instead of all of it. So, 50 cops per intersection – of whom about 30% are short fat-arsed copettes who joined up to find a husband and go on maternity leave, not get in fights or anything, another 30% are the blokes 25kg or more overweight and generally useless, and the remaining 40 per cent have maybe two years’ experience and still need leading around by the hand.
You’d have about ten coppers who know anything at all about what they’re doing at each access point to the CBD, and that’s not counting foot traffic down the myriad of rail lines.
He who defends everything, defends nothing.

I didn’t look at the comments, only the posts.
Patton also makes the assumption that the CBD will be where the protests are, largely because that’s where they said they would be. By fortifying the City, he’s hoping that he will meet the protesters on ground of his choosing. There’s no reason at all why they would do that now, other than that it’s convenient for them to get the train.
With 72 hours’ notice they have plenty of time to split into five or more separate protests across Melbourne, which actually makes it easier for the protesters because they can drive (against regs, but VicJack Inc can’t be everywhere, and they’re in the CBD because Patton wants them there) to the closest one.
Place them in areas that are unsavoury and difficult for VicJack Inc to be in or get to. Frankston, Thomastown, Westmeadows, Sunshine and Werribee. Even 750 protesters at each is worth 2500 standing behind a barricade in Exhibition Street.
The protetsters’ media arm then plays on the ‘local working Joe’ protesting this idiocy, rather than blaming the usual rentacrowd that turns up to every protest on every subject in the CBD anyway. The nuffie faction, like the VicJack Inc numbers is dissipated to the point where they are ineffective.
Effing good analysis Knuckle
Imagine if you’re a real estate agent trying to sell a unit in the Melbourne CBD on Saturday.
From Zulu’s link:

So decades after winning the battle to completely destroy male – only institutions, demanding acess to traditionally male clubs, colleges, workplaces and organisations, as if switching on a light, the campaign of accusations begins. For years it was all “Ha ha, co-eds, wink wink nudge nudge”.
Now we see why for centuries men protected themselves from infamy by excluding females.
Too late now men. Equality legislation means you can’t get rid of them and you can’t found new institutions without inviting them. And they aren’t giving up the power to take your achievements with false accusations or using sexuality as a trap. The only thing that can be done is for men to band together and demand old fashioned solutions like all interactions are in the presence of chaperones.

That Yalta conference was doozy.
FDR really loved Stalin.
Every single major protest in Melbourne in the last 25 years has had VicJack Inc either filming it themselves, or having a liaison officer in every TV network’s OB van asking the producers to concentrate on different groups of protesters within the larger event.
Most of the time, this ‘directed’ footage is the stuff seen on the picture wireless that night, and it’s used by the brass at subsequent pressers to emphasise the worst bits of any protest.
Rest assured that these liaison cops will be up and running with every single TV network, who will be on location in the CBD this weekend. Because that’s where Patton says he will barricade and defend, and therefore it’s the most likely place for the networks to get excellent footage.
No CBD protest means both the jacks and media are out of position, and at best can offer only piecemeal responses lacking in planning. Again, this is dependent on the protest organisers using their melons, but separate protests scattered far and wide, combined with the above means the protesters can film their own demo till the cows come home, and by doing so control the media narrative – as opposed to the current MSM crews finding a single ‘Aliens Brought Covid’ placard amongst thousands of genuine people angry at having their lives wrecked.
Patton’s a fool. He’s tried to appear tough, but has listened far too much to government and other external pressures, and consequently all he’s done is bared his arse. All that needs to happen is for the protesters to get the metre-ruler out.

Bettina is one of my heroes. And for her great work she’s been smeared, slimed and vilified by the progressive left and the MSM.
Never forget what the Liberals did to Arndt last year…when they sided with the Labor and the Green scum to censure her.
Great banner DB…thank you.
All this was easily predictable to anyone with a knowledge of human nature. Which excludes loony lefty losers.
Now we see why for centuries men protected themselves from infamy by excluding females.
And now the sheilas are getting beat, literally to a pulp, by pink haired weirdos declaring themselves to be women and taking over female sport.
Quick roll call.
We seem to have a couple of MIAs.
Where is ussr?
And where is her White Knight?
What ever message Barr was trying to get out, the story has become about her.
Finally, with the vast, vast majority of VicJack in in the CBD, and to coincide with the brass’ realisation that not only is there no protest there, but in five different places around greater Melbourne – all the protesters need to do is to have four of them stop their (or someone else’s) cars in traffic across the outbound lanes of all arterial roads leading to the protest sites, trapping the jacks in the CBD prison they created for themselves and therefore unable to respond.
I must add that all this is a hypothetical proposition only, and not intended to incite.
Again, entirely predictable. Lefties aren’t very bright. It’s why eventually we shall defeat them.
The decision by the Federal govt not to authorise the automatic uploading of all immunisation certificates into the Service NSW App*, is very reassuring. It means that individuals will have to do it themselves. That will undermine the universality model of vaccination status of individuals.
Added to that, today, I heard Victor Dominello, the NSW Minister for something-or-other said that the mandatory nature of being vaxxed to do stuff will not last more than a couple of weeks – coinciding with 80% vaccination rates.
Dominello is the second NSW Minister who has made a statement that removal of freedoms and liberties will not last a couple of weeks past the 80% – see Barilaro.
(While ‘m not dumb enough to trust Ministers of the Crown when they make any statements, the fact that none of them will announce legislation to override the anti-discrimination legislation and the privacy laws, suggests that the current laws will not be by-passed). Not to mention, the safeguards in the Constitution on mandatory vaccination are still to be looked at.

Bettina is my hero too. I remember her from the 70s when she wrote sex advice in Cleo. Everyone in the office had their own copy, there were over twenty girls and women in the office and not a man in sight. She was popular because she was informative without being sleazy.
This Milley crap is amazing. As has been said, everything the left accuse you of doing they are doing. They accused Trump of planning a coup while they were doing one.

I have zero military experience but even I can work out if the VicPol chief has broadcast his plans to counter any possible protest action in the Melbourne CBD, then just move the protest to Luna Park, Brighton Beach or somewhere similar.

KD.
Your assessment of Patton is close, particularly if he is listening to Planet Cornelius.
My only question is, how organised is the opposition?
VicPol hinting at using water cannons and permanent dye on protestors.
The dye would really be welcome in the streets, walls and shopfronts and of CBD businesses.
Exactly how stupid can the VicPugs get?
We’ve been doing it wrongly. We keep treating them like reasonable human beans. We haven’t been despising them enough.
There is smart and there is skill. People devoted to a specific skill typically outperform a people who are smart but unskilled. Do not under-estimate the determination of people to acquire and maximise the skill of manipulating public opinion. They are winning, they are continuing to win, “eventually” is rapidly becoming too late in the day.
looks like it’s a eureka stockade kind of week-end then
That’s the question all right.
It’s a massive opportunity Patton’s given them. In my humble view.
Happy to stand corrected Gez, but I think they had one and then gave it away, having never used it.
Won’t necessarily stop them asking for it back though.

News Limited running this in all its news web sites:
Senior federal ministers and their opposition counterparts were involved in top-secret talks in Canberra on Wednesday ahead of a major international announcement on Thursday morning.
Mystery surrounds the highly sensitive matter, which the Herald Sun understands involves Australia’s allies in the US and the UK and which multiple sources said related to defence.
Labor leader Anthony Albanese, his deputy Richard Marles, defence spokesman Brendan O’Connor and foreign affairs spokeswoman Penny Wong were briefed by the government on Wednesday in what the Herald Sun understands was a hastily organised and highly unusual meeting.
Defence Minister Peter Dutton and Foreign Affairs Minister Marise Payne — who are in Washington for high-level talks with their US counterparts — are believed to have dialled into the meeting.
Scott Morrison’s national security committee has also been briefed on the announcement, which is expected to be made at 7am on Thursday. US President Joe Biden is scheduled to speak about a “national security intiative” at that time.
The Prime Minister has been back and forth to Canberra in recent days for secure meetings which the Herald Sun understands had to be held in person.
I just watched Tanya Davies – a Lib backbencher in the NSW Parliament interview a John Larter – paramedic from Tumut about his decision not be vaccinated. He’s going to the Supreme Court on Friday 17/9/21 (Directions Hearing) he has Bret Walker SC representing him.
He’s now been called before the Para-medicine Council – the regulatory authority that control paramedics – for a disciplinary hearing.
He said that Scott Morrison’s brother is the President of the Paramedicine Council (of NSW?) and he will be involved in the hearing.
Something is afoot, especially when AnAl and some of Labor’s front bench are included.
