Good to hear Limbrick was there on Saturday. I am ashamed I wasn’t but not even sure how I could have got into the CBD.
I’m coming very close to joining the UAP but Palmer’s actions during the Abbott era are holding me back especially since he reminds us about them on the UAP website. It’s almost like a contradiction- ‘I saved the RET’ but ‘I’m for freedom of association’. Would be much more comfortable if it was Kelly without Palmer. They’re cutting through though.
That’s how I feel too Milton, I haven’t forgiven Palmer for keeping the RET. Abbott wanted to get rid of the Carbon Tax and the RET and even though Palmer supported Abbott to bin the Carbon Tax, he voted against killing the RET, which was brought to us by John Howard.
Palmer, however, did challenge the WA Government’s closed border policy in the High Court by himself. The Federal Government should also have been a party but they backed out, probably due to cabinet solidarity with Morrison’s unconstitutional “national cabinet.” So, I’ll give Clive some points for that valiant though fruitless effort.
The UAP wants to see nuclear power generation in Australia, I don’t know how that will play out with his support for the RET. I’d prefer to see more coal generation as it’s the least expensive, however nuclear power will deliver reliable energy even though it won’t be as cheap as coal, so I can live with that.
My intention at the moment is to vote UAP primarily because I think the major problem we face are the government policies, state and Federal, regarding the management of the Covid issue. I’m opposed to compulsory vaccinations, I’m opposed to internal passports, but most importantly, I’m furious that Covid sufferers are denied, on threat of gaol time, inexpensive anti-viral treatment.
Australians are needlessly dying because of this ban, this is unforgivable and for that reason alone, I intend to vote for Craig Kelly (not Clive).
Ceau?escu didn’t see his end even as it was happening right in front of him.
Beat me to it,srr!
Today was John’s moment on the balcony.
At least he had the balls to face the righteous mob face to face.
Respect.
He’s no pussy.
If we were clever&organised we’d pre-emptively target the union leadership/thugs with some shovels on doorsteps.

“Johanna, I think you’re confusing the ‘Peter Principle’ with a book written in the 1950’s – Parkinsons Law. C Northcote Parkinson was a professor of something and that book describes every large organisation or gov dept in which I’ve worked or dealt with, Still as relevant today, right down to the building of bike sheds or perhaps lunch rooms.”
*****
Both CN Parkinson and Laurence J Peter described something similar.
Parkinson referred expressly to the “Law of Triviality” in meetings, whereas Peter identified the more general trait of people who had reached their level of incompetence spending heaps of time on trivialities to avoid it becoming apparent that they weren’t competent to deal with anything more important. The former is more specific, but Johanna may have been referring to the latter.
Watched, live, quite a bit of the CMFEU shindig this arvo .. then read this from msn news .. seems when you toe the gummint line fairytales translate into truth .. right wing extremists .. LOL! 99% of those in the crowd had union badged apparel on .. so either the right wing groups spent a lot of money to dress up and pretend to be wukkas or there were lotza real construction wukkas protesting … personally, I thought it was the latter … LOL!

CFMMEU condemns far right extremist violence”
******
What game are they playing? Do they think their own members will fall for it?
Maybe they’re hoping just enough of them will, for just long enough, that the “leadership” has breathing space to organise sufficient thuggery against the rank and file to regain control.
Why else would they try it?
UAP is a pack of loons (I was close to joining last week, based on their policy statements online)
Australia is a federation of States. You can no more abolish states than you could abolish a politician’s predilection for spending other people’s money.
All states would have to vote to abolish themselves (against the wishes of the local legislature no doubt), first, and then a new constitution drawn up and then ……
JUST STOP IT – what a stupid idea with actually zero chance. Glad I didn’t waste my money on membership. I might still vote for them, just to stop the Libs getting my $3.
I just watched Aussie Cossacks’ clip of the disgraceful old lady assault by Vikpol (with I still call Australia home as the backing track, and read a comment I had missed previously. This commenter noted that at the 53-second mark, a Vikpol officer punched a bloke in the head. At that point, the bloke was moving, but I don’t think he was fighting the officer, just trying to get away (I could be wrong, as I’ve only watched it briefly). Even though only one officer was targeting the bloke at the time of the punch, the bloke was very much outnumbered by other Vikpol within metres, so at first glance, there doesn’t seem to be a valid reason the bloke should be punched in the head. Immediately after the punch, another Vikpol sprays the bloke in the face. What was the purpose of punching this bloke in the head, when it did not appear that the intention was to arrest him? Why not just tackle him?
Kudos to this commenter (sorry, I’ve closed the window already) for noticing this.
Yes I will vote for them too old bloke also PHON in the senate. Whether are not I actually join or not remains to be seen. This totalitarian terror needs to stop. The betrayal by the LNP-Lab uniparty is palpable. I really don’t see the use of state governments either- just more feral grifters-narcissists-psychopaths.

So the Bat Eared Mong just gave them two weeks to focus solely on fucking up him and Setka. Hilarious!

Then they can do what they like to it. They can set it on fire and wear some of the burning bits as hats.

State governments are almost unrestrained. We don’t have civil rights at the State level. We have some vague protections that are subject to competing claims and “balance”. It always was a stupid idea that Parliament would protect our common law rights indefinitely.
What was the purpose of punching this bloke in the head
Purely for Vikpol’s pleasure.

If there’s anything the union boys know, it’s when they’re about to be disadvantaged.
They’ll have people they know, who they go to barbies with and see down the pub that have had their livelihoods destroyed by Andrews.
And they also know Setka – up until about lunchtime – was firmly in Andrews’ cot.
They weren’t happy in the first place, and they know full well that the two week holiday is an attempt to snap their bra straps. I’ll be surprised if the Curtin Hotel in Caaaaarlton hasn’t burnt down by now.

Gunner,
Applause for the bloke who took a Stuart Surridge Jumbo to the chops. Stood there and took it like a man.
Would some of VicJack Inc’s finest had the same fortitude.
The smart place to start would be to whittle down Setka’s bodyguards and close supporters. I don’t mean the bikie or gangster muscle (that’s a job for professionals), but his muscle within the union.
We might be a bit closer to having ADF on the streets than you think, Dot.

Just watching the local (Perth) news. Item about vaccination. Flashed up on the screen: 41.8% FULLY PROTECTED
Howe can they get away with this blatant lying BS? Even double-vaxxed are not “fully protected“. It’s lies, pure and simple.
Rookie mistake.
Because everyone believes the propaganda.
And if they don’t, they believe the propaganda.
Just watching the footage of the CFMEU HQ aftermath, courtesy of duncanm’s link above. The hosing from within the building appears pretty pissweak. Had the crowd wanted to, they could have easily moved along the walls on either side of the entrance, and then moved in (assuming the entrance was not barricaded solidly). Anyone from within wanting to change the angle of hosing to counteract such an entry, would have had to move very close to an open window, and if the crowd had done their pre-planning, projectiles could have been used from outside to negate the hosers. (It’s hard to tell visually, but the water flow didn’t appear too strong; more like washing dogshit off the bottom of the thongs kind of flow.
Here’s a quandary for ElfHazzard.
A mate of mine has a 55-y-o disabled sister who is in hospital, waiting for a transfer to a nursing home.
Nursing home is holding a place for her, but won’t accept her until she is double jabbed.
Hospital won’t give her the vaccine because Brad and the health fascits haven’t developed a policy for vaccinating the disabled who want the jab.
She is too disabled to leave the hospital, and go to the local chemist and get a shot.
My mate has offered to get the shot delivered to the hospital but they won’t administer it.
The blame shifting and duck shoving has been going on for 10 weeks.
Crazy times indeed when Gulag Gladys wants us all to get the shot and a hospital refuses to do so.
Right on, Muddy.
Now we’re using our noodles.
I don’t think the union are smart enough to have counter intel on the “leaders” of todays Action.
And with the complete shut down I don’t think it will matter.
Setka is done. And the rest of the union leadership
They’re already hiding behind Neo Nazis FFS!
Lol
The deplorables are about to take this city.
It’s gonna be EPIC
*Where’s MickGC?*

Who jabbed the disabled people already in the nursing home? Can’t they do it before/as she is admitted?
The more of these stories I hear — and the number increases every day — the more despondent I become. We truly are living in an insane asylum, run by the inmates.
‘right wing extremists’ operating in the most soviet state in Australia, during a leftwing police state lock down, snuck into a CFMEU protest and made the union’s own premier shut down the CFMEU’s work for a fortnight.
That’d be SAS levels of organisation and balls if it were true. Who are these Übermensch?? Won’t somebody in the vast media and state apparatus find out and tell me?
OSC, Everyone is shitting themselves about liability. If there’s no consent form to absolve them of any blame, then it’s no jab for you.

Someone in the crowd said that the Police were shooting into the protestor’s eyes, a tradie won’t get much work if he’s blind in one eye. If you’re going to protest, use good quality safety glasses to protect yourself from rubber bullets and capsicum spray.
Someone else said that the bikies who were let through the cordon to bash the workers were working for the Police. I don’t think that’s right, doesn’t the CFMEU use bikies to bash and threaten people the CFMEU doesn’t like?
CFMEU condemns protestors, says they’re all neo-nazis or under the spell of neo-nazis.

Lord, grant me this, please make my enemies be ridiculous.
You’re spot on about the propaganda value, Gunner. We’re in a battle for influence, and the prime target is not the decision-makers, but the general public.

If the crowd had been infiltrated by super-dooper-bad neo-nasties, why did they remain to loiter in the street after the damage was done to the facade of the CFMEU HQ?
If Vikpol intel was any good, they might have noted the coming and going of groups within the crowd. Presumably if these were ‘right wingers’ (wasn’t that a Nike shoe in the 90s?), and their intention was to foment violence (note the absence of fire, even outside in the street), they would have largely kept together within the crowd – or at least within visual range of each other for protection – and their interactions been reasonably obvious to any observant undercover intel officer?

There are lots of construction sites in and close to the CBD. Presumably Dan and Setka are trying to stop large numbers of wukkas being together, or in close proximity, where a few phone calls could get a sizeable tea party together.
If they’re not allowed to work, it’s much harder for them to form a mob. They’re meant to stay at home or keep within their 5k radius, and so it would be easier for VicPol to pick them off individually on their way to morning tea than if a sizeable number at one construction site suddenly decided it was Earl Grey time (and texted a few like minded chaps nearby).
Two weeks gives Setka quite a bit of time to organise the reprisals and regain control by fear.

That CFMEU press release came from the National office (Noonan). Now, it could be because Setka is still cleaning the shit out of his dacks from earlier today, or it could be because the National office (and ACTU and ALP) appreciate how toxic this potentially is for them.

I am 93.1% sure Dan is picking up the tab.

Because it has been leaked from within.
An astute comment above by Timothy Nielson.
Further to the right-wing provocateur theory: If the intent was to infiltrate the crowd and make the union look bad by fomenting violence, why was the damage seemingly confined to the main entry of CMFEU HQ (and perhaps inside, I don’t know)? Why were nearby buildings not targeted with projectiles? Why were flares not lit within the crowd to maintain a level of agitation? Aside from the chants, the crowd in general appeared to be simply milling around with hands in their pockets (or filming with their phones!). Why, as I asked on the previous page, was fire not used (like upending a garbage can and setting fire to the pile, for example? If I had paid for provocation, I’d be demanding at least a portion of my money back because of a half-arsed job.
Leaked from within. Yes.
Yessss. Good. Gooooooood.

An old workmate of mine just told me he was there today… nothing much was happening until the CFMEU goons/reinforcements came out, then the punch ons started and the building got attacked.
So Setka started it.
Haha, sucked in, Cauecescu!!
No doubt Setka’s enterprising rivals would be working hard to use this to unseat him so they can become the leech to the CBUS host.

Holy moly, Pfizer literally had countries passing laws, altering laws, was dictating new laws, and was demanding military bases and embassies as collateral for its stupid ‘jab’.
Will people start to comprehend the level of power and influence these companies wield? Apparently the possible CHO of QLD does (but is still a great big covid fag I bet)
The ACTU is also running the deep-cover-garage-nasties-wot-dun-it line.
No.
The Members were threatening Setka with Protests and No Work, EVERY DAY until he backed them with a No Jab mandate.
Andrews shutting them down for two weeks means two weeks all who live 5 km away can’t even get into the city to bother Setka and none of them get paid except Setka & HIS Reps, while the workers threats is now of no consequence while Andrews, Setka & their mobs can regroup and ‘pay some visits’.
at the risk of actually informing the Andrews Govt of how fucking ridiculously stupid they are, I’ll tell you how crazy it is.
IF this govt had a clue about where their support came from they’d understand that it’s their fascista mates with the big dollars.
And, here’s a time-cost to money right?
go on Andrews, Setka … stick the boot into hi-vis.
knobble the builders, developers, and the bankers and watch your money vapourise day after day, faster and faster.
you fucking mongs aren’t hurting radical right-wing trades … you’re kicking your own fascist mates in the nuts

I wonder how the unionists feel about having their numbers – pretty much the point of their efforts – discounted by by Labor, the MSM, and their own leadership with clumsy tales of mythical ‘far-right’ agitators?
If you’re against mandatory vaccines or mass imprisonment of the population at the whim of some science stooge, you’re a ‘right wing’ extremist nazi.
That’s just how it is in the spike protein addled minds of the urban bugman class. If you’re not them, you’re a nazi.
Haha – we all far right extremists now!
Careful what you wish for.
Your Christmases may all come at once.
It’s time for “fiery,but mostly peaceful, protests”
With added beatdowns for Collaborators.
ACCELERATE
This is brilliant thinking.
Except that it assumes that thousands upon thousands of pissed-off CFMEU blokes will do as they’re told. By Andrews, who just shut their sites.
And the CFMEU have a long history of compliance. For example, they have never ever, not once, converged on their own union office and wrecked it while hundreds of jacks watched, and who forced their terrified stewards to spray them with water from inside in the hope they’d get wet and cold.
Brilliant thinking, from the people who brought you red leather tunnel pizza children and multinational cyber-intelligence agencies teaming up to somehow stop a bored housewife from accessing material in the public domain.
Oh, yes.
Setka’s internal opponents were no doubt involved.
And probably some randoms turned up later in the day.
But it was undeniably was a grassroots member driven thing.
If it was just a garage nasties plus internal shit-stirrer operation they would have had the living suitcase beaten out of them before lunch.
Tomorrow is gonna be interesting in central Yarragrad.
I’ll be there with the hot takes
lemme just underline again something I’ve said in the past
these hi-vis wearing, foul-mouthed, bottle-throwing scumbags…
they are not stupid.
they are not even poorly schooled.
many, many sole traders and small partnerships … all complaint with whatever regulatory gibber required and profitable.
I can’t count how many have degrees, double-degrees, and sometimes double trades.
I know plumbers with masters
and computer scientists that work as electricians
and painters with Literature
and they are sick of your bullshit
I’m in a regional area.
Yesterday we had police choppers circling for about an hour.
Today Police were stopping Tradies in the shopping centre and checking their phones to make sure they were locals doing needful food shopping.
Dan’s Stasi are having a LOT of practice at preventing groups gathering.
Hi Gunner … *waves*
Gunner.
I’m outside the Imperial waiting to storm Parliament House.
Is it happening?
Bravo for Mark in calling out the smugness of the ABC:

MT, you don’t need a degree to figure out when you are about to be stiffed.
Dan thought he had bought allegiance by giving the CFMEU an exemption to keep working.
Which he reckoned he could use to leverage them as the frontline of his vax campaign.
But they really believed the publicity. That they were more essential than everyone else.
So why are they now being pushed into compulsory vaccination?
Because Setka promised Dan he could deliver it.
Now they’ve both got a yuuuge tiger by the tail.
First to let go gets chewed up.
Check out the based Croat spitting truth and totally cucking Setka with the crowd.
“I remember when I was a kid in Croatia, when we fought communism. We are staring down the barrel of communism again!”
Crowd goes wild, Setka and his cronies looks like a soy poisoned fags next to him.
bugmen have never managed to outgrow their bolshevik past
agreed
Yes, it’s Happening.
Every day until we win.
I’m outside the Imperial waiting to storm Parliament House.
LOL
Patience, Panzer!
Let’s see how fortified the CFMEU HQ is tomorrow morning first.
Parliament will fall without a shot if we can take Setka’s House.
Let’s hope the union rebellion spreads to NSWistan.
No Vaxx, never.
We will not comply!
I used to think what happened in the US with the demorat’s coup against the great man was bad, but I’m coming around to what is happening in victoristan, and to a lessor extent in the other shit-hole states, is worse. This cfmeu shit-fight will have major ramifications. The hunchback and his walloper goons may have overplayed their hand not with the lady in red but with the swamp media so they may not fall in their usual line and peddle this right wing infiltrator bullshit setka has come up with. That plus the fact the thug setka and his toadies will get personal with some of the union protestors and the hunchback has closed down the construction industry may light the fuse.
As I said earlier, what odds on the first death from the wallopers using one of their new carbines.
Let’s hope the MUA and TWA blow their gaskets and become very retaliatory.
Deny us our hobby shops and clubrooms, and we will keep you from yours
Nobody stops the model trains from running on time. No one…
I believe Setka is a Croat name too

That was awesome. It was interesting that he had no problems having his back to Setka and the goons (some of whom looked like they wanted to be elsewhere).
As a random comment, the bloke in the grey hoodie at the 1 min 18 sec mark had an interesting look about him. Quiet, folded arms, but very focused on something.
Shortening.
But more likely an accidental discharge into one of their own than the scrofulous hordes whose taxes pay for them.
Learning to shoot a longarm is one thing. Learning to shoot under stressful conditions something else.
But learning the discipline to keep the finger firmly away from the trigger guard unless directly ordered in the face of a fight-or-flight situation is a different situation entirely, and I’m pretty sure most coppers are not battle-innoculated with pyros, blank fire and other stressors to get them A) comfortable with chaos, and B) Responsive only to direct and particular orders for application of fire within said chaos.
This was linked here last week.

Change tactics for a bit. Predictability is not a friend. If the location is so important, divert attention.
Wasn’t Dan talking earlier about vaccine passports not for the double vaccinated but for the booster shot? People must at some point realise that there will be no end to this. Nothing will be enough.

Yes. You can’t buy off a blackmailer.
Good news, Cats! Bird likes us tonight!
Because we are all in agreement about it being a good thing John Setka and his Big Labour buddies having their shit pushed in by their members.
At least until we suddenly became the target of his posse-gathering again.
At least we needn’t worry about Graeme ever posting on the Flash Cat again- There are so many people here he hates and fears (because they smile while they make him look bad), that he just won’t risk another ban.
But grieve for the Dash Cat- If Bird takes a liking to something, it tends not to stay intact or functional for long…
So, Setka is a Croatian name, no?
Is this some sort of Dubrovnik/Zagreb/Split split, if you know what I am meanink?
ZK2A
Mate, best wishes and hope the Memsahib continues to improve!
Thirty-five years …
You get less time for murder …
(Joking!)
He’s not talking about his “house” house.
He is talking about his multi-million dollar holiday house down on the peninsula.
Not in his name, of course.
But his.
Oh, sorry.
Wasn’t I meant to … oops.

I’ve mentioned elsewhere that here in Qld, the Health Employment Directive (12/21) that mandates Covid-19 vaccination for all employees specifies that after the initial doses, employees must continue to receive any further (i.e. booster) injection that has been advised by (I forget the acronym of the relevant Fed Gov’t health entity) as desirable, in order to remain compliant with the Directive. There is no timeframe or quantitative guide mentioned; thus the demand for compliance with the Directive could continue indefinitely.
Thanks for those wishes, Bruce. There’s going to be a long lunch in the Swan Valley to mark her recovery!
Ukrainian I think.
So QLD’s potential new “CHO”, was on video for 40 minutes talkin gabout COV19 “new normal” last year.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGuPB9Ukbj4
If you can stomach it.
He’s a typical Science!(tm) acolyte, but his brother, who is also in the video, is an arch-technocrat for the CSIRO, a literal bugman’s bugman.
Here his brother talks about “being able to track and monitor and know where people are” via data being “very beneficial” and outweighing the “privacy concerns”, which he regards as “holding back” science and technology.
Interestingly though, immediately after that, the prospective CHO, seems to rebuff his arch-bugman brother, explaining that privacy in infectious disease is critical and a perceived lack of it, or mandated testing, etc will drive people underground.
Hmmmmm. A weird dynamic.
more on the CFMEU..
‘far right’

Note the chant at the end.
Crikey, just re-watched Peyton Place, the movie. Not a black character to be seen and arguably the most trite, ridiculous courtroom scene ever put to celluloid. Pure mush.
Slavs gonna Slav, man…
Yeah, I didn’t think it sounded Croat, but he is listed among “famous Croatian Australians” on the Wiki-thingy.
Maybe his mother is the Croat.
Anyway, we’ll see.
Coupla days.
Sounds like a plan, mt friend.
We’ve been exploring the Bickley Valley lately. A favourite its Fairbrossen. Food is platters only … but still magnificent.
Bruce, I’ll file that one away for future reference. My compliments, and thank you, indeed.
… my …
Setka is Croatian by name and background. I think his father survived the Westgate bridge collapse.
FMD, the fixation is very strong in this one.
Does she expect me to produce my anaesthesia receipt?
Why does she care so much?
What a drongo.
How about you ask Zulu for his wife’s details in hospital too while you are at it?
I simply cannot believe some of these comments to the newsdotcomdotau story on the CFMEU protests against being injected with a drug against their wishes. This doesn’t even sound vaguely like the Australia I thought I knew!
Should I wave the receipt in front of Cassie, Tinta, Rabz, Rafe etc at next Cat drinkies you fixated loon?
Finally caught up with the OT. So according to the Cathedral, the Illinois Nazis were the cause of today’s disturbance. Just wow.
Milton, my dear, love the Player’s Ad. It is from another era.
But so of course am I. Chin Chin, darling.
Great day on the Flash-Cat today, contributors.
Main threads doing good business too.
Like ole times. As so, hugging my nostalgia like a hottie bottle, to bed.
LOL … apparently Michael Sussman 17 days after he planted the fake Alfa Bank story to get Trump investigated:
