I’m delighted to see Paul’s piece getting wider exposurer, but please, don’t post entire Quadrant yarns. Rather, quote a tasty…
“The contract will have ‘Termination for Convenience’ clauses which should read something like ‘audited costs plus 10%’”
Just tell the Frogs to fuck off. Not a dollar more.
the Tomahawk missile which any subs would use can be fitted with a nuclear warhead.
So can torpedoes.
“The contract will have ‘Termination for Convenience’ clauses which should read something like ‘audited costs plus 10%’”
Arguably the frog defects in contractual timetables and obligations would nullify that clause since it wasn’t a termination for convenience but inconvenience.

Most embarrassing sea-mine failure in Aussie history?
When the four boats of the Imperial Japanese Navy’s Sixth Squadron laid over 100 outside Darwin and in the Torres Strait in early 1942.
Not one sank anything, and there’s one on display in HMAS Penguin.
Something about fierce tides.
Mark Latham said on Bolt that Scummo has reneged on his promise to the party room that the commonwealth would not upload to the Services NSW app NSW residents’ immunisation reports. There goes Scummo’s assertion that in Australia there is no such thing as mandatory vaccination.
‘Termination of Convenience’? Sounds like something out of Anaesthesia Palace Chook’s latest social engineering legislation?
Should Anaesthesia, Jacki Trad and Stephen Miles be kept alive? They have been suffering for decades from a debilitating illness known as leftism which leaves them incapable of making a useful contribution to society and makes them a useless drain on resources. (Sarcasm alert ?)
FMD.
You can spray cash out of a fire hose at their pet projects … no probs.
Something like this pops up and they are suddenly all chin-rubbing concern about spending.
And, what was lost on Bawwie is that this flip will be a net save of maybe $40, even after paying break costs to the Frogs.
The submarine contract is the ultimate indictment of Turdball: ready to waste tens of billions of public money and endanger the nation’s security to shore up Christopher Pune’s seat.

Thanks for that.
So no conversion costs at all.
Just different warheads in the inventory and a pair of welder-grade flash sunnies all round.
Nuking cities is so old fashioned. These days you just let off a megaton nuke in the ocean offshore. The tsunami wipes out everything without all that annoying and inconvenient radiation. Move right in!
Speaking of such things there’s a small scare right now, not from humans:
A Swarm Of 700 Earthquakes Rattles Canary Islands, Sparks Speculation Of Volcanic Eruption (15 Sep)
La Palma has a bloody great fracture right up the guts of the island, and has been a concern for tsunami people for some time. If the left half of the island slides into the sea, as is possible, the modeling suggests the tsunami arriving at New York City will be 50m high. Maybe even bigger.
Eyrie’s also a world renowned military procurement expert and missile/rocket scientist. Is there anything he can’t do?
Any lawyer worth his salt will argue along those lines. There will be milestone payments which can be argued on firm grounds if progress is not made.
However you can bet the waters will be muddied up due to Australian initiated changes and some sort of risk sharing in the contract of which the customer will be obliged to pay in part .
Maybe JC you too could try flying a plane without an engine.
Avionics happens to be his business.
I am amused.
What should have happened ( and may well have for all I know) is that the DOD contract people should have issued a letter starting a clock that gives the supplier a contractually set period of time to remedy defects/defaults before the contract can be terminated by the customer without undue penalty.
Even here the supplier can argue that other clauses and customer actions contributed to the defects/defaults and negotiate for additional payments but it gives the customer the upper hand in the process.
Breaking the contract with the French to redirect procurement to a partner in a new treaty which includes Britain – strategically siding with the UK rather than the EU.
“that fellow down under.”
The weirdest thing about that Biden announcement regarding nuclear submarines isn’t that Biden forgot Scott Morrison’s name. He’s the Prime Minister of Australia. Meh, people forget people’s names. That’s fine. It happens.
What’s really weird is that he said “that fellow”.
It’s like Biden has mixed up the “English/Australian” colloquialisms.
When’s the last time you called a bloke at the pub “a fellow”? .
Nah. It’s a “bloke”, but the underlying message is that he doesn’t know the difference between an Englishmen and an Australian. Zero idea. None.
All’s that Biden knows is that it’s a deal between America, England and Australia. He forgot the Australian PM’s name, so he’s just “fudged it”.
I’d be completely surprised if Biden even knows what the submarine deal is about.

The agreement “seriously undermines regional peace and stability and intensifies the arms race”, Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian told a regular press briefing.
Only the ABC would take that seriously.
Perhaps Their ABC could ask the foreign ministry spokesman about the construction of artificial fortress islands in the South China Sea (and the environmental impact of their construction), as well as the recent “expedition” into Alaskan waters? No? Thought not?

Regarding the Supreme Court verdict in the US regarding the mRNA vaccines – I do not claim to know the specific laws nor the rationale behind them, but I would think describing them as interfering with genetics will be open to dispute.
I would think most people consider human genetic material to be that which is within the nucleus. Perhaps mitochondria.
My understanding is that the mRNA vaccines do not involve themselves there. In fact they don’t interact with genetic material, but mimic what is produced by the DNA in the nucleus to prompt ribosomes to produce proteins.
If the point of the law is to stop manipulating DNA to produce or suppress human characteristics then mRNA vaccines might be held not to be contrary to the law.

Oooh JC, I thought I was the only one with such evil thoughts re Three Gorges Dam. I reckon China is in a world of trouble internally, but that’s no reason to treat them nicely on the world stage.
Leave the dams to a nation which is not a party to the Geneva Conventions. Or a decent earthquake, which could occur at any time.
Trumble went Frog because the Jap conventional sub was Abbott’s preferred option.
Pure and simple.
Overpay by $30 bill to expunge Abbott’s legacy.
Now he has been trumped by the nuclear option … literally.
The beauty of this is that there are no white papers, green papers or interminable Sir Humphrey briefings.

The Hunt for Red October is on Gem – very apt.
Zulu, maybe (I have no idea because I no nothing about subs, engineering, etc). But wholly and firstly it was about Trumble discrediting anything that Abbott had put up. (As well as saving Pyne’s seat).
Mrs A converted her super to cash a week or so ago. I’m excited to see where this all goes, in a macabre sort of way. Black Swan event.

I just realised that all those politicians and commentators on Sky who have grown facial hair during the lockdown are disrespectful to the rest of us. If I can do my hair each day and put on makeup for the zoom meetings they can shave to appear on TV.
So who was in the Cabinet at the time who supported Turnbull’s decision on the subs? Any of them still left?
Has the bit where Red October sinks HMAS Sydney happened yet?
Yesterday we were told that this was not the case. And what about the privacy forms lodged against third party sharing?
Sancho, you are over-complicating this. Trumble went French because he is fashion -conscious, anything from Paris is more exclusive than from anywhere else.
Why hasn’t General Milley been executed yet?

b. Chinchilla locals should hound that idiot cop out of town.
Palantir the U.S. tech company? When did they start running things in Australia?
Ha, ha.
It did occur to me that Trumble would think it would make him look Euro-classy.
The earliest I heard of Palantir working with the ATO was 2017.
I’d be more concerned about the weirdos that have access to it. The “information highway” isn’t what they sold it to be. Don’t get me wrong. There is good stuff, but the “bad stuff” that wasn’t advertised is now becoming evident.

Riccardo Bosi, leader of Australia One, gives a warning to Australians.
Looks like things are about to get very intense. “ Be brave, be calm, be good. We will win this war’”
The 5 minute clip is on Telegraph, which I’m not on. Somebody might like to watch it and give us the gist.
No public statement from Alex Turnbull as yet.
A matter of time.
The yanks are dumb. But Morro is dumber.
The chinks will pinch every last bit of submarine nuclear tech straight from under ASIO’s nose.
Our diversidee hires Leading Seaman Hong Gao and Petty Officer Huang are licking their ample lips.
That will destroy AUKUS within a year of handover, and 5/4/3 Eyes immediately after that.
Never again will the yanks be sucked in to trusting Australia.
Some years ago, in the Wild West, one of the locals took an old sheepdog, into town, for veterinary treatment. The vet advised that the dog would have to be euthanized. The owner had the dog “Put down’, but wanted to take the remains home, as a lesson to his kids. “Flash got sick, the vet couldn’t make him better, but we’ll bury him under the big tree up on the hill.’
Cop pulled him over, and charged him with “driving with an unsecured load.”
Said cop didn’t last long after that – the local Country Woman’s Association ringled the movement to run him out of town.
A few months ago I was on Etsy (an online marketplace thingy) looking for some Australian-designed t-shirts. I happened across what I thought was a decent design on a tank top for a reasonable price (considering postage these days). It was a vertical dagger passing through a crown, and the designer explained in the brief sales blurb that she’d previously struggled through mental health issues, and the design was symbolic … (I forget the exact explanation, but I thought it was apt at the time). Given she’d only just started the business (Sydney area), and hadn’t made a sale yet, I ordered one of them.
Weeks passed, then a month, six weeks … I wasn’t in a hurry, and I knew that Sydney had been locked down, so I didn’t want to hassle her. Eventually, after two months, I tried to contact her, but received no response, and reluctantly contacted Etsy. I got my money back and noticed that her store no longer existed. It was disappointing, as I had wanted to support someone who was making an attempt to help themselves.
I’m left wondering what happened to dagger and crown girl? I’ll never find out, of course, but I very much hope that whatever has happened to smack down her dreams is only a temporary hurdle. Not everyone has the same coping skills, resilience, support, properly functioning brain chemicals, or perhaps … simply good luck.
I wonder if someone will ever invent a word or phrase adequate enough to convey the damage that has been done to people. Real people. Not statistics. Real, breathing, fragile, people.

And visa a versa. Isn’t that the whole point?
there may be a gun pointed at Joe Average’s head … but Joe himself gave ’em the bullets

The Hunt for Red October:
We’re just at the part where Sam Neill says to Sean Connery, “In America I would like to live in Montana…marry a girl there, raise rabbits, which she’ll cook for me and I’ll have a pick-up truck or maybe a recreational vehicle – do you think they’ll let me live there?”
Connery answers “I expect they’ll let you live wherever you want.”
Neill responds “in that case, I’ll drive throughout the states – without papers – and spend time in Arizona in the winter.”
The film was made in 1990.
How far has Australia come; we now need papers to cross state borders and may not go where we want, when we want.
As Bern says:
Never forget what they’ve done to us.

That video was on Bitchute from last night. The gist of it is ? He expects unpleasant things ahead should one be an Australian resident.
What to make of this one, a UK funeral director alleges care home residents were overdosed deliberately on sedatives and listed as Covid deaths last year. As well his’ opinion that Delta strain = vaccine injury. Some conceptual crossover can be inferred with Bosi’s vid.
Damned links, second aforementioned:

BOOM! Someone finally said it.
On of the issues (I understand) with SSNs is that they are a blue / deep water boat. Designed to play tag under the Arctic and in the North Atlantic. Australia’s needs were always different. The smaller, diesel electric is more suited for shallow water operations:
https://www.navyhistory.org.au/nuclear-submarines-not-an-option-for-australia/2/
The fact that we are looking a blue water craft suggests that we will be projecting power, rather than defending the coast. And I would bet that “our” Virginias playground Indian mostly!
Years ago, in Western Australia, South China Airways, opened a flying school, near the town of Merredin. On their first weekend’s leave, one of the students went into the local police station, and asked for police permission to go to Perth for the weekend.

I have a recollection that there were issues with the Japanese subs that made them unsuitable. Excellent subs that will have sink many Chinese ships.
I don’t get the fuss about the new sub deal for Aus. It will be 20 years before the first one is delivered and by the time we have enough for combat other initiatives will have dealt with the China issue. It’s good to have the nuke subs into the future but I can’t see the relevance in the short or medium term in relation to China.

I took it to be an expansion of the allegations made by Clive in his’ recent press conference.

Thank God Afghanistan is landlocked. It’s enough the Yanks handed over all their land and air fighting technology to the Taliban (to be sold to Iran, Russia, China and the rest).

@ Rohrschach
For all your source’s blat about littoral waters and the unsuitability of nuclear boats in such places, worldwide navies have been sneaking theirs into and out of exactly such places. For much of the last 50 years.
DE boats are very capable coastal ambush raiders in such waters, but certain European nations (like the Danes, Swedes, Germans and French) chose to spend generations specialising in such tactics and designs so as to contribute to fighting the Soviet Navy in all the waters close to home.
Only the UK and US seriously put into NATO blue-water ops.
Australia’s problem (and experience, gained from US, Dutch and UK submarine ops in WW2), is that we have all of it in our areas of interest.
We have big littoral areas around our coast and to our north, and huge expanses of deep water everywhere else.
Anything we use must be fast and sneaky. And the situation is now such that a DE boat cannot do the job effectively anymore
Regarding noise, since the US and Soviet and UK navies predominantly trained to hunt each others’ nuke boats, a DE with its different sound profile makes it harder to detect. They are no less and no more noisy. And the addition of electric ‘creep’ motors in latter-day Soviet SSN designs like the Victor II and Akula made them even bigger threats in NATO’s thinking.

The other interesting point that the Undertaker made was that he and his coworkers frequently handled the bodies of “Covid” people. Sometimes “still warm” when collecting them. At times nightly. Neither he nor others he knows of in his industry wore any other PPE than gloves and an apron ( and a mask with Vicks in it if bodies were rotten). Neither he or anyone else in his profession ever got sick or died during the entire “pandemic”.
Preparing bodies for burial would have to be at least as messy as orthopaedic surgery. You’d think you would end up with blood and guts on your face here and there.
Indolent. The funeral director is a self promoter. He’s bandying statistics about and making shit up. Don’t go into business with him. He reeks of it.
There are plenty of reasons to get on the “non-vaccination” bandwagon, but he’s not one of them. There is something really fishy about people like him.

Or simply lost if you work in Government. It’s a bigger pot (budget). Merely spillage from the swill. Not their money.
The crash is coming. It’s not so much the size of the public service, but rather that they are regulating the private sector to be the “mirror image” of the public service. Pay rates, allowances, safety, equality, work rights….the list goes on…
Public servants want us to have the same “safe workplace” that they have. It’s a noble idea in their minds. They think it’s fair and just. And they will regulate the fuck out of anyone who thinks otherwise.
The error of their ways will soon become apparent when the money runs out, and the homeless are using Pelosis corpse as a footstool to reach the top shelf of her ice cream freezer.

Isn’t the NHS covid app just for international travel, nothing to do with internal use to go to nightclubs etc? (Other than in Scotland who are using them for internal passports)

Rosie, those ceiling numbers can be revised down at the drop of a hat, just like the “refused to rule out” is code for “we’re going to do it, but not just yet”.
All it will take is an increase in case numbers and vision of tired NHS nurses and it’s on. And it will be acceptable because the NHS is the new deity for Brits to worship and protect.

500 people in a nightclub is almost everyday (or night) stuff, rosie. The Shout, from way back in 2008:
Anything that’s not a third-floor-entrance-via-plain-door-in-an-alley will have a capacity of several hundred. The larger ‘barn’ style clubs from the 80s on entrenched the concept of 500+ people in clubs.
“Their own party arced up.”

booster dose slashes rates of covid infection in israel, Bloomberg, yesterday
I want the liberal party to go to victorian state elections with a mandate to abolish public health state of emergency powers.
The only party that will get my vote will be the one that makes that commitment.
I had to smile at the Bloomberg article “there’s no political pressure here”. If you have to say it…
Well, yes. I’d be interested in the date of the original inoculation and the time gap to the booster. I presume the booster is for “delta” and the original is for “alpha”? It would be interesting to track those gaps as the virus cycles through subsequent mutations. Will that gap get shorter and shorter?
I guess that’s the billion dollar question.
4 weeks ago the abc published this. They want the covid regime to be permanent and the only way that can happen is if soe powers are never relinquished.
I read that article as querying whether a booster was even necessary calli.
I don’t even know if the issue is the mutation but how much the ‘boost’ the vaccine gives to your immune system wanes over time.
Which is also true for the flu vaccine.
Posted again with the bolding so the dull one understands.
Looks like the UK not proceeding with vaccine passports has been short lived.
They are repurposing the NHS app for the same outcome.
Don’t worry Rosie, you just wait for it to be reported in week so you can post a link to it.
Isn’t the NHS covid app just for international travel, nothing to do with internal use
Derrrrrrrr……..
“They are repurposing the NHS app for the same outcome.”
Right…..got you.

Boris Johnson Abandons Vax Pass Proposals in Britain
Written by Press Release
(Alex Berenson) Keep hope alive.
The Sunday Times has just reported that Boris Johnson is giving up on the idea of vaccine passports or making businesses check vaccine status.
Again, this is not because Britain – where 80% of people over 16 are fully vaccinated – has controlled Covid. The opposite, in fact.
Other data show that only about 25% of deaths in Britain are among the unvaccinated – and that vaccinated people over 40 are actually MORE likely to get Covid than the unvaccinated.
The truth always wins. Now that one big country has made a long overdue concession to reality, will the rest follow?
Not if Uncle Joe can help it…

Where is the evidence to support your claim ftb?
Looks like both calli and I looked, and couldn’t find anything being reported that was clear.
In any case are you suggesting that the Tory backbench are too dull to see that a repurposed nhs app is being used to replace the vaccine passport they backlashed about?
The point is that although Johnson “abandoned” the plan a few days ago, his own health minister “wouldn’t rule out” passports. Naturally, it was for a specific ceiling number and for specific events. He said this yesterday.
Always beware of mission creep. And weasel words. And Sir Humphreys.
You took it to mean one thing, I detected something else.
That’s because I’m old and wicked and suspicious.
calli, I find it very difficult to believe that you are suspicious.
Where is the evidence to support your claim ftb?
Are you aware of the tech company that worked on the medicare app in Australia regarding the COVID vaccination ecosystem is working to do the same for the NHS app?
Sure not a vaccine passport.
You are just so dull, rosie.
What did you say, vaccines are the only way for politicians to save face & you’re fine with that?
How long before you’re saying the same about vaccine passports?
That’s because I’m old and wicked and suspicious.
calli is sharp.
Rosie is just so dull.
Trust no one! Especially the media. And politicians.
I re-learned that the day before yesterday, much to my shame and embarrassment, all documented here.
Never mind, that was then. And today is a fresh page.
I don’t know what point you think you are making. It doesn’t matter if the nhs app has the capacity to be used internally if the government has made a public commitment not to introduce a vaccine passport which was going to be what ? A completely different app? they have to come back out and publically state that they are requiring people to show their ‘passport’.
It seems like you are claiming the UK government will have a vaccine passport without bothering to tell anyone.
And didn’t a lot of people start deleting the nhs app.
Bob Hawke, ok, the Australia card is dead.
Also Bob Hawke, let me tell you about the TFN.
Boris, ok, the Vaccine passport is dead.
Also Boris, let me tell you about the new improved NHS app.
Don’t you know how it will protect the NHS & you want to protect the NHS don’t you, DON’T YOU.
they have to come back out and publically state that they are requiring people to show their ‘passport’.
Yes, just like everything else they’ve publicly stated to make sure everyone was fine with over the past 18 months.
And didn’t a lot of people start deleting the nhs app.
Derrrrrr……
Thanks for the ‘toons Tom.

Lawyer Indicted in John Durham’s Russia Investigation

In the context of Victoria having a zero covid policy and a never ending cycle of lockdowns I welcomed them finding anything that allowed them to stumble out of the mess of their own making.
Because it was pretty obvious that dan Andrews could never abandon zero covid because that would be an admission that everything he had done to us for the last eighteen months was an exercise in futility.
I don’t want to have to wait for the uncertainty of an election for this lockdown crap to end.
Obviously no-one castigating me for being pragmatic wants this all go to away.
They’d rather just grizzle and moan with no end in sight.
Oh and point at me as being dull/ wicked/evil/responsible for saying something they didn’t like on this hole in the corner blog.
Oh dear.
In that case, all comparisons to an annual flu shot are baseless. The point of the flu shot is to protect against mutations.
Why even bother identifying Covid mutations when there’s no intention to formulate specific vaccines?
Because it was pretty obvious that dan Andrews could never abandon zero covid because that would be an admission that everything he had done to us for the last eighteen months was an exercise in futility.
Yes, the whole thing was an exercise in futility all over Australia. The vaccines and the vaccine targets are just devices to get governments off the hook for totally screwing this country and its people. “Look , we’ve done all we can! Now we’ll open up just enough to let you bastards get back to work so you can pay taxes to keep us in the luxury we are accustomed to. Don’t expect to be free, though”.
No medical benefits to the vax, just fairly high probability of medical harm.
Nanny Neil Mitchell on 3AW yesterday taking callers about the extra effort involved with ‘working from home’.
Neil tops it off by saying he now has to go through lots of emails and texts before he went to bed.
We were in the shearing shed at the time and the shearers were on a smoko break, checking their phones.
They call that a rest.
There i was thinking you were talking about people having to manually scan in everywhere they go in an overt vaccine passport regime when really you were talking about the government doing stuff behind people’s backs, as long as they are carrying a phone and presumably a particular downloaded app.
Sorry for not realising you have secret knowledge not available to others.
Why even bother identifying Covid mutations when there’s no intention to formulate specific vaccines?
That may come later but for now the booster may provide some temporary fleeting “protection”. What is unknown is if the risk of harm is linear with number of shots or exponential. Hope it isn’t the latter.

You spelt “inventing” wrong
It’s not as if Australia is the only country ending lockdowns, more or less after starting vaccination programs.
Ours was just much much stupider because no one actually had covid.
Sorry for not realising you have secret knowledge not available to others.
Rosie, you should google this guy called Edward Snowden.
Not sure if you have heard of him.
Has some waayyyyyy out there ideas on governments collecting data.
Some people might call him kooky.
Lol, Tom. They’re good, aren’t they?
Be careful Christian comics…your satire might just be prophecy. 😀
Hmmm, it would seem Henry Ergas in today’s Australian is for vaccine passports, using a legal tort-based approach.
The comments are running strongly against.

Did you watch it to the end? He wanted to make sure everyone knew who and what he was. He was willing to put himself out their to make sure it was taken seriously.
My hunch is that, right or wrong, he is 100% sincere.
These are the people at the coalface. They can see what is happening behind the media hype.
And can you explain the massive camps they’re building there – and here? With my East European background, it’s too much like deja vu.
It seems fbt that you work in an industry that deals with this stuff.
I don’t and I’m sure lots of other people here don’t either.
Why not be a little more generous in providing information as to why you think x or y?
You made a comment that implied a backflip of a backflip, we went looking for more information and couldn’t find it.
Forgive me if I don’t take statements made here or anywhere else really, as gospel.

No.

LOL. No seriously. LOL.
Thank you Tom. I might wait for the iPhone 14.
Thank you Will.
Then you will vote UAP or One Nation. Why would the Liberals do in Victoria what they won’t do in N.S.W. where they are already in power and could do it today? Who would believe them anyway?

Dan Andrews says you’ll get test results back the next day.
I’ve checked out the local health authority website for the St.Arnaud Covid case, via the Bendigo Advertiser web story.

Locals get a warning of the positive case late Thursday afternoon.
The contract tracing is done they say on rural ABC news this morning and will be announced later on today.
