Our internal fascists are scared. What they are scared of, is that we will wake up and realise they are not playing my principles vs your principles and have never been playing this game. It was a ruse, the aim was to divide and conquer, to focus the Untermenschen on each other, by class, now by race, gender, and a myriad other differences. While they prance and dance in marbled halls enveloped in virtue.
They criminalise our very attempt to say the truth by calling it hate speech, incitement. They fear, because they know if we play the same game as they play, they will lose.
All the things suggested above that Howard/Abbott “shoulda” done to TheirABC either require legislation or at a minimum would have required the support of Coalition MPs at their regular Party meetings.
As I seem to have to explain ad infinitum, that support was not forthcoming. The Nats were almost fanatical in their support for TheirABC, as were a big chunk of the Liberals. They were every bit as committed as the Greens and the ALP to leaving it untouched. They still are.
It’s completely irrational, but there it is.
You mean raising rates? The Fed will be fine, Piggles. Look, it’s going to take generation and perhaps two before we see another peak in rates. I was a bright eyed young boy when I got my first job after graduation and rates weere around 12% or so and inflation was roaring. It’s taken that long to see a low in bond yields. Don’t forget that Japan has been playing around zero since the mid 90s.
I go to bed every night worrying about the global temperature.

That reminds me of something I heard about German work life. If an employee is on FB at work it isn’t the manager on their case it is the other employees. When they work, they work. I told my brother about that and he replied if only his staff had the same attitude.
Sorry

I go to bed and worry.
There’s little lateral thinking in Asia and this is why innovation isn’t a big thing. I’m not sure why, but a few people have suggested that the written language isn’t conducive to say engineering. Maybe. But over many centuries Asia hasn’t really come up with the goods.
I recently had an interaction with some Chicoms about one of their products that they had upgraded. I asked them what bearing they were using, some massive thing. So to change the shaft they also had to also change the housing, when there was an off the shelf bearing that fitted the new shaft and the original housing, had 90% of the load rating of the one they selected which was 200% of the load rating of the original bearing which worked fine. Very WTF.
I have read that they encourage learning English because their written language works against creative thinking. However a recent doco on China indicated that they are now moving past the copying stage and more focused on innovation. The Japanese excel in engineering creativity, I wouldn’t be surprised if eventually the Chinese start demonstrating more creativity. There is no need for creativity when you are borrowing and stealing other peoples’ ideas but that can’t continue indefinitely.
money is worthless???
It’s a very interesting experiment what Japan has done with QE over the past two decades and what the US has done also, but to a lessor extent.
I haven’t looked recently but recall Japan’s debt was around 250% of GDP. Meanwhile it’s QE program has purchased at least half the government’s debt that is outstanding. One side of government – the finance ministry owes the Bank of Japan, which means the debt could essentially be netted (zeroed out).
Since 2020, the Fed has purchased around US$1 trillion of debt and the US appears to be heading in the same direction as Japan.
No economist has yet sensibly explained why the debt central banks have purchased can’t be eventually zeroed – where one side of the government no longer owes the other.
and that my dear johanna is the failure of liberal leadership. Leaders must have a clear vision and must be able to cogently explain and debate it and acquire the necessary votes to get it done.

persevering lying. the British ministry have so long hired their gazetteers to repeat and model into every form lies about our being in anarchy, that the world has at length believed them, the English nation has believed them, the ministers themselves have come to believe them, & what is more wonderful, we have believed them ourselves. yet where does this anarchy exist? where did it ever exist, except in the single instance of Massachusets? and can history produce an instance of a rebellion so honourably conducted? I say nothing of it’s motives. they were founded in ignorance, not wickedness. god forbid we should ever be 20 years without such a rebellion. the people cannot be all, & always, well informed. the part which is wrong will be discontented in proportion to the importance of the facts they misconceive; if they remain quiet under such misconceptions it is a lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty. we have had 13. states independant 11. years. there has been one rebellion. that comes to one rebellion in a century & a half for each state. what country before ever existed a century & half without a rebellion? & what country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? let them take arms. the remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon & pacify them. what signify a few lives lost in a century or two? the tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants. it is it’s natural manure.
Absolutely not. In fact very low bond prices strongly suggest deflationary tendency.
Never ever forget what uncle Milt said in explaining things. Man, I miss him. Friedman is one person who should have lived forever as he was that good.
He said that low bond yields indicate previous monetary tightness and high interest rates indicate previous monetary looseness.
there is no need for creativity when the state can steal it at a whim.

I’m not buying , John H. Japan does good rote engineering and innovates a little, but it’s no great shakes. They’re okay, but their innovation isn’t setting the world alight.
The Chinese are what… the oldest group of people on earth in terms of the new modern breeds that came after Neanderthals. China most certainly had a period in the sun, but they just haven’t been around in the past ~700 years or so.
There’s perhaps 5 or so centers of excellence in the world these days and not one is in Asia or even looks like there will be one.
Hey John H … are you a doctor?
Doubt schmout, it was the best part of the whole toasty bit of the shindig. Everyone laughed along or murmured politely.
Weird how few here bothered to follow the whole Aussie Princess thing.
Oh that’s right, at the time everyone was a open borders libertarian who thought Royal families were quaint old relics with no important influence on their very modern, cosmopolitan lives.
The point was & remains, Old Families have Long Memories & Mary’s father’s quip reminded anyone pay attention of that fact.
Also, the secret rescue of Ural Caucasians was point of pride of the Australians who put saving “unwelcome” lives above the bad laws of Govt, who were happy when they could finally come out and write a book about it.
You could find it in the Australian History section of the library, well at least you could back before the racist fascists started throwing all the important history books out of public libraries.
It’s a mega-fascist state nowq where they’re now jailing the billionaires and stifling creativity even with their entertainers. They’re fucked completely. Even if they start a war they will be fucked even quicker. If you’re jailing or turning the creatives into unpersons, what hope is there for innovation. To repeat, they’re fucked.
it’s a cultural thing, the japs only came out of serfdom a 100 years ago. the chinese have never come out of serfdom.
The only innovative thing that will be coming out of China in the future is teaching outsiders how to suck up to the the government. That’s what you get in a fascist state.
They’re also fucking dickheads. China is a dickhead state. They threaten everyone or done so over the years. They’re basically at war with India and everyone in the region except perhaps Nth Korea. hate their guts. The dickheads threaten us every other day without even thinking what this sort of clown show is doing to their reputation around the world. Their only potential for friendship is with the Taliban. Whoopee.
What large firm anywhere is going to invest in China anymore? They’re fucked and hated.
Also , they can’t afford a war and they know it. I’m no military strategist but take a look at their access to deep water. It’s all through choke points where subs would destroy their above surface fleet and access to oil. And if they really got smarmy, turning the Three Gorges Dam back to a river a system through a couple of nukes would kill off 300 to 400 million Chinese either through drowning or starvation. Again, They’re fucked.

Donaldson was laughing, (bragging), that his family drove the Danes/Vikings out and now here they are joining together.
It was fun, they were speechifying & toasting and he came out with that little nugget.
It was also interesting to me at the time because so many wanted to believe the, average Aussie working girl snags a Prince’, story, when the family connections where always known to the families, which brings us back to what Cassie is so determined to ignore; Old Families keep track of each other.
Faarrrk, next she & her chums will be trying to tell people that Burke’s Peerage was something Alex Jones knocked up when he travelled back in time with Tesla
Burke’s Peerage was established by John Burke in London in 1826 during the reign of King George IV. Since then, it has become the definitive guide to the genealogy and heraldry of historical families worldwide. These include the Peerage, Baronetage, Knightage and Landed Gentry of the United Kingdom, the prominent families of Ireland and the Commonwealth of Nations, the Imperial, Royal and Mediatised families of Europe and Latin America, the Presidential and distinguished families of the United States, and the ruling families of Africa, the Middle East and Oceania.

Muddy, I have had a think about this, and I think the problem is much more fundamental. We see it every day. The human brain is more than capable of holding diametrically opposed ideas. It is more than capable of ignoring cognitive dissonance. each idea is just loose connections in a highly dimensional matrix. Only introspection and self awareness prune through these connections to weed out the inconsistencies and garbage. It requires effort and deliberation and exploration to navigate this massive matrix of ideas and experiences in a typical brain. Laziness, shallowness are sufficient prerequisites, to maintain nonsensical beliefs. When you add in fear and hatred, these become the focus and self reinforcing, ideas are contextualised within that framework and inconsistencies are ignored or justified. When you attached personal values to inconsistent ideas, an attack on the ideas becomes an attack on the personal values and leads to anger.
Fear and hatred are the tools of propaganda.
DON’T FIGHT FOR LIBERTY
November 8, 2013 By ISI Archive
https://isi.org/intercollegiate-review/dont-fight-for-liberty/
There is much confusion in the ranks of the American right over what exactly we are fighting for. There tends to be some general agreement that we are standing for a very vague notion we have agreed to call liberty, and that this should be a sufficient rallying cry to unite us in loyalty to each other.
Liberty may very well serve that purpose so long as we do not delve too deeply into the meaning of that term. Some of us have this looming intuition lodged in the back of our minds that liberty has some connection with rightness and duty. Others, seeking simplicity, see this as a contradiction and argue that if we stand for liberty, we must stand for liberty in all things.
What then are we to fight for?
G.K. Chesterton said, “The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him.” No hero marches into battle merely to destroy for the sake of destroying. He marches into battle for the sake of conserving. He marches not because he trying to break free from something, but because he is bound to something.
Chesterton, in another passage, reminds us of this curious fact that “Love is not blind; that is the last thing that love it. Love is bound.”
No struggle can be just unless it is motivated by Love, and if it is truly motivated by Love then the ultimate motive will not be to break free, but to remain bound to something good and beautiful. All too often we see the truth that tyrants are not tyrants because they bind the wrong things, but because they break the good things.
Henry VIII broke from the Church; Robespierre broke from the State; Caesar broke from the Republic; and against them all the truly free men wept at the breaking of these bonds just as Aeneas wept at the thought of his broken home. They wept for their lost Love.
This is the grave distinction between the Conservative and all other dispositions: while everyone else is seeking to break free of anything, the Conservative has a deep suspicion that there is a blessed tie that binds; that he will never be free until he is bound to something.
Don’t fight for liberty. Fight for Love.”

It’s a mistake to underestimate the threat.
Nazi Germany was also mega fascist.
They produced V2 rockets, jet aircraft and kept the rest of the world at war for years.
and that was back when the West wasn’t a de-industrialised woke mess.
They don’t have to compete with what were used to be. They only have to be better that what we’re becoming: Fucked.
Scummo has drafted Australia’s economic suicide note and now he gets ready to sign off on it:
Scott Morrison is preparing an integrated climate change plan to more swiftly transition Australia’s energy exports from fossil fuels towards new low emissions technologies and cleaner energy sources to avoid the nation being left behind as the world moves towards a net zero future. (The Oz)
Note that he wants to accelerate our demise to “avoid being left behind”, not because The Science Says So.
As was Japan and the USSR. Kept us busy for decades.
China is the first nation to develop an IBM designed to take out aircraft carriers. It has two stealth fighter, one clearly an F 35 copy but the other is a very original design with canards which is very strange for a stealth fighter! Previously they had to rely on Russian engines for their jet fighters . Not anymore. They are heavily into fusion energy, and ADR reactor design. It is also a leader in nanotechnology. Doesn’t look like a lack of creativity.
Don’t underestimate the enemy!

Your question about the police officer on the freeway.
If he was just collecting numberplates to fine people at a later date, it would be proof positive that the 10km limit was nothing to do with health advice.
Otherwise he’d be stopping people and turning them back.

Pretty darn simple.
And if Mr Donaldson made a joke about events that occurred in the 13th century I’m sure that’s all it was, a wee joke.
Claiming he was ‘pissed’ and ‘bragging’ is you being your uncharitable self, as always.
As for no interest, yes, sure, a family member was living in Denmark the year of that royal wedding and I visited the place a couple of months afterwards, we were all delighted, not looking for some nasty negative slant to take.

The Arizona audit confirms two things:
The amount of illegitimate ballots exceeds the amount of Biden’s victory margin by over almost 40,000 votes, and that the media continue to lie their arses off to hide that fact.
Their claim that the audit finds “an even bigger lead” for Biden is just utter bullshit. A recount of the votes may have shown that Biden ‘won’ by a few hundred more votes than the official tally, however the actual audit shows that 49,000 votes were illegitimate.

Christiansen is retiring in Dawson, ALP have preselected a high profile ex RAAF and firefighter in Herbert but also have a well known muckraker on staff there. Both seats from time to time flip Labor, in fact the last boundary changes where these seats and Capricornia split the regional cities of Townsville, Mackay and Rockhampton make these seats normally marginal.
Scomo had a swing to him in Queensland and a lot of those votes that went to One Nation because of Turnbull came back to him. Question is will he be able to hold them, regional Queenslanders don’t think like Sydney of Melbourne and mask mandates when directed with QR check ins I hear are paid lip service to. Also zero emissions likely to go down like a hoot in Capricornias mining areas.
Another day, another needless weight of doubt and suffering inflicted by our “caring” government.

Interesting UK report this morning about Boris’s green policies . With only 47 % energy from renewables , a lack of CO 2 , high energy prices UK is in an energy crisis now. Nuclear power stations decommissioned , not enough gas , and 10 years and billions of dollars for new nuclear station . However Rolls Royce is developing mini nuclear stations similar to what keeps nuclear subs going so instead of one big ones lots of little local ones.
Now put 2 and 2 together and you might come up with what I was proposing with our new sub deal Scomo made.

There were large stocks of Phosgene and Mustard in Australia, and a lot of trials for use of Mustard in tropical environments were carried out here. A book on the subject was written about 20 years ago.
One of the more memorable photos in the book was a group of RAAFies in boots, shorts and slouch hats disposing of Phosgene in the outback after the war, by shooting holes in the storage drums with .303s.
Some of the Mustard was stored in disused railway tunnels west of Penrith, some of which are now used for growing mushrooms.

One minute you could find this book in the Australian history section of the library (until racist fascists threw them out!) the next ‘I can’t remember the title’ of this very important book.
Plausible.
The criticism is of you putting a ludicrous interpretation on a little joke and claiming someone was drunk at his daughter’s televised wedding.
Now dance your victim dance a little harder.
That reminds me of something I heard about German work life. If an employee is on FB at work it isn’t the manager on their case it is the other employees. When they work, they work. I told my brother about that and he replied if only his staff had the same attitude.
Yep, my experience also. Why you don’t want to have to fight them.
Mate went through South African merchant Navy Academy, would up as ship’s captain and pilot. If you need your 250,000 tonne bulk ore carrier berthed he’ll do it.
Did 2 1/2 years on a German ship for 2nd mate’s ticket and says he’s never seen a work ethic like it before or since. It was never “she’ll be right , mate”, but “we will make it right” and no Pommy union bullshit of us against the bosses. They reckoned if they worked hard the boss stayed in business, they had jobs next year and the Christmas bonus would be good.
and the police didn’t even bother.
The good thing about when you have police living in the community they police.
“Cheers Cassie. Wow she didn’t win that by much, there’s 3 possible flips.”
I think the Lieborals have their hopes on winning back Warringah and Craig Kelly’s seat Hughes. I’d love to see Craig win Hughes but I can’t see it happening.
link may not work but John Donaldson is reading his prepared father of the bride speech when he made the Viking remark, it was no off the cuff ‘pissed’ comment.
min, it is my understanding that civilian power nukes are the size they are to make them economic. They also run on low enriched uranium or even natural uranium like Canada’s CANDU, unlike the sub reactors which need HEU. Enriching uranium is very energy intensive.
Not to say that small nukes can’t be built or will be uneconomic as there is a new push to built nuclear thermal rockets using reactors that use low enriched uranium. This is one of the casualties of Three Mile Island. Any realistic research on better power reactors was basically slowed way down.
I think the Lieborals have their hopes on winning back Warringah and Craig Kelly’s seat Hughes. I’d love to see Craig win Hughes but I can’t see it happening.
Clive will split the Conservative vote wherever he has a high profile candidate. I’d say the uniparty will put a lot of effort into destroying Kelly too, inconvenient truths and all that.
Good morning everyone a beautiful day here in Melbourne.
As they say ‘suns out, guns out’
Wait, not so fast officer!
All the things suggested above that Howard/Abbott “shoulda” done to TheirABC either require legislation or at a minimum would have required the support of Coalition MPs at their regular Party meetings.
As I seem to have to explain ad infinitum, that support was not forthcoming. The Nats were almost fanatical in their support for TheirABC, as were a big chunk of the Liberals. They were every bit as committed as the Greens and the ALP to leaving it untouched. They still are.
We are in year 2 of a nationwide self harm event.
All normal libertiues are now at the whim of unelected health mongs.
But closing down the ABCcess would be a bridge too far?
None of the arguments about “oh it would be hard” are worth a pinch of shit anymore, saying they have legislated protection means less than nothing, the entire nation has legislated protections against government overreach, how are they looking?
This is the new rules, government can do what it likes to anybody and anything.
United Australia seems to be a bit Queenslandcentric
Rode down to the, local, pool thought I’d try my 1st dip in months …….. NO BLOODY WATER in it! ..

Not a word from Fairfield Council about it on their website either ..!
Not a hater Cassie never have been. Too much time and energy hating. Life is too short. Seen it so many times in others. I don’t forget and don’t forgive. So yes I’m a rememberer. I treat others as they treat me. I give them a go then make up my mind.
Despising is probably better. Implies detachment. No one with a functioning brain would want to engage with them.

I think the chinese pooh bear would see the loss of hundreds of millions of chinese as collateral damage when the 3 gorges dam system gets blown up. The pantywetters in the west will worry more.
As it would be a breach of one of the Geneva Conventions, the pantywetters would tie the West up in lawfare until the Chynese could recover and win. Then the pantywetters would complain about being enslaved, and would finally get their just desserts.
Not that it is of any great import but regarding Mr Donaldson.
At the time of the Royal Wedding in 2004 he was suffering from a medical condition which affected his balance.
He struggled with the walk down the aisle but persevered.
It led to some cruel jokes about him getting on the turps before the ceremony.
Thank you for the laugh.

And this was in an audit that didn’t do signature matching….
Of course not. Signature matching would be clear discrimination against the products of the “education” system in DemonRat dominated areas, and against illegal immigrants who do not understand English.
It would simply be despicable voter suppression (h/t munty).
Some good news to balance the daily input of VicPol violence and government over-reach.
More than a month since Macdonald made his big switch back to commercial TV, the early numbers are in. And so far, there’s been no Hamish-led ratings boom on The Project, despite all of the fanfare of the announcement of his “homecoming” to Ten.
I am glad you ask. There are two reasons:
1) We don’t matter.
2) Because Labor are worse. Whatever Labor might do the Liberals will also d0 – but one day later. Since everything else choice yo are presented with is not which party has better policies, but whether you want that one day or not. Take AGW policy for example. Do you want rolling blackouts in the middle of summer to begin on 3 December 2021 or 4 December 2021.
No you are wrong KD. That is fear talking. The aim is unconditional surrender, not annihilation. War is politics by other means. The japanese emperor was deliberately spared, just like in the middle ages, the lords were spared and ransomed.
Unconditional victory means unconditional surrender, the other side accepts that it must adopt our principles. It’s not about gloating over the corpse or ruins, or humiliating them or being fearful of a insurgency or comeback. It’s about laying down the new law of the land. The spirit of fight is what is extinguished by unconditional surrender and acceptance of the new reality.
This what we did to japan. We had to literally nuke the shit out of them first.
This is where we have failed in every war since. We failed in vietnam, we failed in iraq, we failed in afghanistan, we failed with the soviet union, yes we failed with the soviet union.
we are failing against china.
china breached the hong kong 50 yr agreement, we did nothing. china smashed us with a bioweapon, we are doing nothing. china will take taiwan, we will do nothing.
does anyone honestly believe freedom and liberty by this time is flame that will any longer burn anywhere on the the planet?

The clock is ticking on net-zero, and Australia’s farmers must not get a free pass
Luckily author, James Ha, has a promising solution:
So, a straightforward process of dosing each animal (consistently and at the right dose). Probably best done first thing each morning when the beasts are let out into the paddock.

I doubt there will be zero difference bern.
If the Libs go net zero by 2050, Albo will feel the need to go 2030.
Defence policy? Labor will start drinking the kool-ade that nuclear subs upset to Chunks so will put a drag on that.
As for financial discipline? The ALP will have a new-found interest in debt and deficit and will have a solution – tax da rich.
..
Both hating and forgetting have important functions.
Hate gives you a lot of energy to do what has to be done.
If you have a wasp’s nest in the backyard and you’re going to have to go in their and exterminate those bastards while they’re coming at you trying to sting you to death, you can cultivate a little hate towards them as you do what has to be done. But you don’t then spend the rest of your life carrying that forward as some burning gut- eating hatred on some stupid quest to rid the entire world of wasps.
You move on, you forget about that time you doused their home in petrol and burned them alive and captured their queen and tortured her to death and dug down to find the larvae and hit them over and over and over again with a shovel and then filed the hole with toxic waste oil and stood their watching the broken remains of their little bodies wash out into the gutter.
You gotta let that stuff go.
Swire has made a pretty decent living doing so. I don’t know about the future.
23% of first time German voters voted for what the Germans call the Libertarian party.
It’s actually a little humorous.
Yes, you can eat your strudel…but your lederhosen can have one button undone !!
The Topic Was, ‘thank God Australians don’t turn their protests into community destroying riots like American’s do’.
Cassie tried to make that observation racist.
Does Cassie think only one ‘race’ in America riot & destroy their communities by their constant readiness to fight for the ‘rights’ & ‘freedoms’ they demand?
That would be ignorant and/or racist.
Just look at Portland for one of many examples of Americans rioting & fighting for no police & no law, et-bloody-cetera.
Oh so many people of all classes in those mass mug shot, a great many pasty white, just like the Portland community.
And yes Cassie, it is still actual racial vilification, you telling people that because I have Ukrainian Blood I’m likely to hate Jews.
What’s this, again –

Why haven’t any of your friends warned you about trying this on let alone continuing to try sell it.
Besides my immediate extended family covering just about every continent, colour & faith, my dark hair & olive skin is from the Gypsy side of my Slav father’s family.
You know Gypsies, along with cripples & Slavs, also targeted for slaughter by those Nazi’s you also try to tell people I support, while I actually, visibly, tick far more boxes for Nazi extermination than you, which makes me a far more vulnerable target of those eugenicist bastards.
Yeah, there’s I reason I’ve posted Chesterton’s, “Eugenics and Other Evils”, audio & Ebooks so often
And as if personal slurs aren’t enough, just because you hate me so much, just for the sake of hating me, you feel a great need to also attack one of the world’s most beloved writers because I posted one of his quotes.
You also, insanely (yes, I use that word deliberately because your need to publicly attack me for anything you imagine has now become an obsessive mania), try to justify saying Terry Pratchett has, “written nothing well” (again, a lie by you unless you have read everything he wrote & then you would just be wrong), by dragging other writers into your attack, as if I’ve never read anyone but Pratchett, while ignoring my mention of the many great works of saintly Catholic G.K. Chesterton who was a life long friend of ‘the great atheist’ George Bernard Shaw, but who by your insane judginess now must be evil because he was a good friend of an atheist.
Have you read everything available of Chesterton’s?
I have & I thank God for that man.
But you keep harping on about Lewis & Tolkin.
O.K. I read The Hobbit in one sitting, couldn’t put it down & a rather grand edition of the Narnia Tales is one of my, ‘lifetime library’ gifts to my very bookish grandson (yes one of the Jewish ones), because we’re a family of readers who love reading to our children.
P.S. I’ve spent most of my life correcting people when they’ve tried to write me down as “Ms.”, instead of my correct title of, “Mrs.”, so thank you for at least getting that right.
..
Is this libertarian speak for some abominable German sex act?
“If the Libs go net zero by 2050, Albo will feel the need to go 2030.”
Yep…and then the likes of the Greens that currently infest the Liberals, such as Sharma, Zimmerman and Falinsky will push to a net zero target by 2031.

I didn’t say they couldn’t do it, I said that they didn’t want to do it. That is, not enough of them wanted it enough, and I estimate of the total coalition MPs, about half were dead against it, including the entire junior coalition partner’s MPs.
You have no idea how passionately the Nats believe in the importance of TheirABC to their constituents, despite all evidence to the contrary. Add to that the wets in the Libs, of whom there are many.
No PM is going to risk busting up the Coalition and being made to look like an idiot over this issue. Not then, not now, not ever.

Quite possibly so, though I can’t see the importance of it either way, but he did indeed make that comment. His speech is up on YouTube. It was a JOKE. I seriously doubt that there was any planning involved in the couple meeting. There would have been tens of thousands more eligible partis around. It just happened but why would that stop him from alluding to an (now) amusing historical fact? Or boasting just a little about his background? He was dressed in a kilt, after all.
UAP should put their efforts into the Senate and one or two House seats they have a chance at. City electorates are not the ones, too many mongs. Is the Hunter going to go to One Nation?
Not in this life, or the next.

He was born and grew up in Scotland.
I’m not sure that many people would welcome a win by the US. They typically exhibit all the charm of the Australian cricket team.
One thing has not been mentioned is that even if the restrictions are eased, no international tourists are likely to come to Australia again. This is out there and can’t be unseen. Say goodbye to the tourist industry.

We must understand what is at stake here.
Parallel institutions will not cut it.
When I grew up the left played the game we are in, when they didn’t get what they wanted they escalated till they got what they wanted.
Macron has ignored the yellow vests for months. Macron has ignored 11 weekends of anti vax passport protests. Macron is a fascist, he will escalate before the protestors do.
it starts with civil disobedience. if that fails, you either surrender or you escalate.
Dictator dan has pre-empted the escalation, they know this game, it’s built into their dna. They all are attempting to stifle the escalation. panic over jan 6. criminalise a vague idea of incitement. incitement to what? freedom and rights, that’s what.
we want our right and freedoms back. thats the real issue. fuck vaccinations. fuck passports. fuck social credit. and fuck the fascists.
rosie, Singapore pared back it’s reopening 3 days ago. Back to work at home and increased restrictions. Find it hard to believe anywhere will be open by Christmas, Government has chosen this hill to die on. Nowhere else in South East Asia is opening as well. A cat commented I think last year that he’d heard through an airline worker that they were already expecting it to last till 2023.
”She said and then I said and then she said …” Oh the horror.
That may not effect international transit passengers though rockdoctor
definitely looks like Singapore airport is operating now
An unusual thing: a fairly reasonable piece by their ABC’s Ian Verrender.
Focussed on the Chinese property market – obviously. But the same misallocation is spread more broadly across the Chinese economy.
It’s the inevitable result of utter fuckwits slavishly following the CCP master plan.
About that promise of free dom (h/t Leak Jnr) at 80% double jabbed.
Singapore 82% 12+ double jabbed reintroduces Covid restrictions.

I didn’t say they couldn’t do it, I said that they didn’t want to do it.
Then they are completely useless.
I am stuck with either ABCcess or a bog standard commercial radio station (all the songs you know and love, again, and again, and again…).
The ABCcess has spent nearly every episode of the “country hour” for more than a decade telling farmers that if that pesky coalition would just put in a carbon mechanism they would all be farting through silk just for existing.
Every article finds a way to shoehorn in its pet issues.
Without the ABC the Overton window would be far, far more low government/pro business etc.
Anyone who calls themselves conservative or at least non left cannot justify spending a billion dollars a year of “no enemies to the left” propaganda.
Impossible is a crock of shit.
Tie its sale/defunding to funding the NDIS.
Our rights and freedoms are not a carrot to be perpetually dangled in front of our noses in exchange for obedience.
Dirty dog Neil Mitchel rabbiting on about the Grand Final interspersed with gratitude that the protests have been crushed and that the government is bringing in vaccine passports.
What a turd.
Has a restaurant owner on and asks if he is willing to participate in the trial of the passport rollout.
Owner says he would prefer to shut down rather than discriminate on vax status, but his financial situation means he might have to reopen, but he’ll prefer to serve everyone while keeping it as safe as possible.
Wanker Mitchell then chirpily says “You might not have a choice you know”.
All these years listening to these fucks without fully understanding what dirty, dirty stooges they are.
I also notice that to listen to 3AW online you have to now sign up and give them all your details, name, email, phone everything. For what is a free to air radio station running on a government licence.
So there you have it: The mainstream media strategy is complete capitulation to big government fascism, take the government ad revenue, spruik big sport, big business, toe and the party line and pretend this new world is life as usual. Fascism with cheery little segments about footy and tips on stain removal.
Stop listening and supporting these fakes.

“Not immediately clear where the “end of the pandemic” is located.”
The end of the pandemic in QLD, WA and Victoria will occur the day after Labor wins the 2022 election.
Singapore is a hub, it is amazing the destinations you can branch out from there. Handy place like Dubai to refuel as well. I reckon it would be transit traffic, below is a website updated 14 Sept scroll down for Singapore. 14 days stay at home order is in place (Hotel Quarantine for tourists).
https://www.worldnomads.com/travel-safety/worldwide/worldwide-travel-alerts
Most transits don’t need to PCR test according to Changi website from certain destinations.
Not if you use this.
I haven’t looked recently but recall Japan’s debt was around 250% of GDP. Meanwhile it’s QE program has purchased at least half the government’s debt that is outstanding. One side of government – the finance ministry owes the Bank of Japan, which means the debt could essentially be netted (zeroed out).
Since 2020, the Fed has purchased around US$1 trillion of debt and the US appears to be heading in the same direction as Japan.
No economist has yet sensibly explained why the debt central banks have purchased can’t be eventually zeroed – where one side of the government no longer owes the other.
Inflation. You’re welcome.
I mentioned less berserker more Lady Violet in my attitude to the government.
Fortunately, the inimitable Shy Ted has given me a suggestion on how to combine the two, bless him.

Speaking of which, according to Newspoll the Coalition would lose 6-10 seats if an election were held today.
but of course, all the restrictions will stay

Singapore is a hub.
Yes, which is why I don’t see the argument that because Singapore is reintroducing domestic restrictions relevant to a discussion about international travel.
Until Qantas shifted to Dubai they hubbed to Europe via Singapore and we never left the airport then either.
