He’d have wet his diaper trying to squeeze something out of that comment.
Apropos of Bananaby’s comment a couple of days back, about the vax status of Federal pollies, it might have been a kick back at the Lord Mayor of Canberra, who is said to have decreed that only double vaxed MPs would be allowed into Canberra.
A better response might have been to haul Barr before the Bar of the House for contempt of Parliament?
“He’s not well liked amongst other champagne socialists because he’s not one for socialising.”
Correct.
And in a weird confluence, the noos is telling me that the ADF are now driving – ambulances – in Vicco, purportedly to assist the overwhelmed hospital system.

Not at all. Coutts-Trotter is competent…..I’d rather him near Perrottet than Photios or any of the Turnbull scum.
Haha. Yep. Morning, Liability Bob!
I had a lot of material to work with when he wheeled out the ‘short leashes’ commentary. It was Thunderdome most nights.
Sigh. Enough nostalgia.
“Damn you’re lucky Bob’s not still around.”
I wonder if he lurks? He popped up on Dash Cat two weeks ago to post a rather cruel and unsavoury remark under Adam’s Covid piece. Of course the post was all about Bobby Boy’s ordeal in Nam fifty years ago.
I know someone who has worked for Coutts-Trotter & Martin Parkinson.
They said Coutts-Trotter is an ideal boss, outcome focused, all about delivery.
They also said that Martin Parkinson was a mess who he’d avoid whenever he could.
A bit like the pilot’s strike of yesteryear.
When you throw people out of their jobs for not vaccinating, you need to back fill…with people who have literally been forced to have it.
As for Coutts-Trotter’s heroin conviction of more thirty-three years ago, I get the feeling that the commentariat aren’t so much angry at him for that but more for the fact that he’s happily married to Plibbers. That’s his real crime. I wonder if he’d face the same kind of opprobrium had he married a high profile conservative woman?
If even a hint of Coutts Trotter leaking in-the bedroom and he would be hung drawn and quartered . He’ll be watched like hawks by those wanting to bring him down . Which means Plebersek will have every word uttered in public analysed to the last letter . If he is as competent as many say this is a smart move , his expertise and Tanya hobbled .

I’ll have you know, Mr Kellogg, that my posture is just fine.
Not sounding too far fetched to put them into the riot squads the other week – to ‘assist the overwhelmed police’ is it?
My point is not about how competent and likeable or even how schtumm Coutts-Trotter is.
When he’s Alinsky-ed – “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.” – he fails. There is no way the modern Labor party would have his conservative equivalent in the Premier’s office.
Naturally, we are not permitted to do that to him. Alinsky rules are only to be applied to conservatives.

Agree Calli.
Cassie
Quite so…..and Perrottet has taken reasserted control over the government and the Covid narrative…wow, unbelievable, what chutzpah! Here we have a new premier, an elected MP, part of the governing coalition who’s decided to wrest control from unelected health fascists/bureaucrats. I’m sure Perrottet has read the mood in NSW, particularly among business. Any recovery in NSW from Covid will come from business…not from public servants.
My doubts about this process can be summed up in one name: Coutts-Trotter.
That said, it does look like a good start, let’s see how far it goes.
It’ll all tie in with the evils of colonialism* and the exploitation* of that Other Eden

The mRNA vaccines ceasing to function after six months (more or less) – is this due to the fact that the mRNA is a one off – that it is consumed and depleted, while traditional vaccines create a memory of the antigen?
I mean, the mRNA of the vaccines is not being replenished by the body’s functions and the cells it enters are altered so if the virus enters the body again the body has not developed a response to cells merely infected by the virus.
Or is there more to it?

I saw the Chris Kenny thing about the new Premier which included some clips of him speaking.
One of the things that struck me was Perrottet explaining to a journo that Covid was a health and an economic issue.
Music to my ears. Someone starting to identify the real problem so they might begin to look for a real solution.
Also great seeing a journo unable to grasp the idea that having the CFO there is less important than the politicians whose job it actually is to form policies. The journo just could not see why giving a bureaucrat free rein could be a problem. Erm…look at all the states?
Ah yes…last I heard he was providing legal advice to Porter’s persecutors- Nilligan and their ABC.

A bit more on the “climate emergency”.
“Climate Emergency” – Nothing But Politics And Propaganda Unsupported By Scientific Data (5 Oct)
Points out that the temperature rise since 1960 in the UAH series is less than the lowest estimate from GISS, which kicked off the whole climate scare in 1988. And my own analysis* suggests even UAH is running hot from adjustments that aren’t supported by other datasets.
(* Note in the graph at the link the UAH temperature scale is inverted, which I did to make it easy to match the peaks in the snow cover graph with the temperature changes. The comparison shows that year by year changes in temperature are matched by corresponding movements in the snow line. So if temperature is rising the snow line should be moving too, but since it isn’t it means the temperature series is biased upwards by the adjustments they have to make. Snow cover is a direct measurement off of sat pics, so it doesn’t need adjustment, whereas temperature measurement depends on things like orbital decay in the satellite, which they have to correct for.)

The other view is also one long entertained here – they’re all one big happy Uniparty family.
And that explains it perfectly too.
Correct.
Wally – Solar radiation in the visible light range isn’t affected by CO2 or CH4, but once that sunlight hits the ground the ground warms up, and re-radiates the energy as infrared. Long wavelength (LW) energy as the climate people refer to it.
The CO2 and CH4 absorb long wavelength infrared energy very well, especially in to 1 to 10 micron wavelength range.
So the theory is as CO2 increases more LW energy is kept in. Infrared is good at heating stuff, as you know if you’ve ever had an infrared hotplate. And if the LW energy is kept in the general temperature rises. That’s the greenhouse theory.
But they leave out the effect of water, especially liquid water, since it too absorbs on the same wavelengths. When liquid water absorbs LW energy it is converted to gaseous water vapour, with the energy locked up as latent heat of evaporation – without a change of temperature. Then the water vapour convects up high into the atmosphere and condenses – producing rain. The LW is liberated in the condensation process and goes out to space above the CO2 in the atmosphere. So the water cycle neatly finesses the greenhouse process.
There’s enough free water over most of the Earth’s surface, both oceans and on land, to do this. Deserts may heat up a little, but because weather systems move pretty rapidly W to E the warmed air finds itself over a wetter area in a day or so anyway, and the water cycle cools it.
This made me laugh
American Thinker – My Niece is a car

He must be doing something right.
BoN … the Earth is a giant heat-pump
I have a nice Earth globe and had a look at a globe of the world. That Qantas flight goes almost directly over the South Pole.
Now it is legal (330 minute ETOPS – aka Engines Turning Or Passengers Swimming) but hardly smart.
Would you want to fly for 330 minutes to an airport after losing one engine in a twin engined aircraft over some of the most remote areas on Earth?
Air temperature was apparently -75 deg C. There have been problems with jet fuel on Arctic overflights with these sort of temperatures.
What about a pressurisation loss where the aircraft gets altitude limit to somewhere in the 10,000 foot range? Still enough fuel?
I’d be having a close look at Qantas safety culture or lack thereof.

Absolutely. And without question, there are soldiers out and about doing Dan’s dirty work.
However, are they the ADF heavy duty dudes, in full tactical rig? Probably not.
If this is observed, it’s likely a civi in dress up, or a member of VicPol Special Operations Group. The title of wanker covers both.
Bruce, thanks.
That’s a surprise to me, as I thought sunlight on surface was a scattering of the light wave- if it’s an object heating and re-radiating, then it’s another step away from what I think most kids assume by diagram.
Can you give any insight into what it is about the CO2 particle in particular (arf) which means it absorbs LW energy? And why other gas particles up there- nitrogen and oxygen, theoretically two-atom particles, as well as argon- apparently don’t?
The next question is, how does the CO2 behave once heated thus? I know that it tends to sink to sea level in gas mix, is ACCCCCC warming meant to be agitating it, causing it to rise in profile?
Last night, SloJo was on the …

MT, I laughed out loud too, and then felt terrible. That’s darrrrrkly hilarious.
More bullshit from both of you.
notafan/rosie after bragging that she like JC was happily invested in biotech companies, freaked out when the Planned Parenthood Undercover Reporting broke, claiming that ‘the company’ SHE invested in, had nothing to do with aborted baby parts.
Looking further into it, well it’s hard to find any that isn’t directly or indirectly dependant on Big Baby Parts.
That’s when notafan/rosie went off tap, and as she does with others who personally offend her, inventing all sorts of bullshit never said (at the time I was giving her the benefit of the doubt; that she had made these investments innocently), which was when I knew that there was no good will in notafan/rosie towards anyone who, even innocently, cast any doubt on the, ‘super-smart, super-Catholic’ character she presents.
That these women are obsessed with calling for the banning of anyone who challenges the narratives they peddle …
… there is a reason they rely on inventing things no longer accessible to check on Sinc’s cat and that they still do what they did there, avoiding full quotes & timestamps –
The Lies Get Bought when you have a troupe of other bullshitters to cackle & scream, “Right On!”, and you know your targets never call others in but stand & fight alone.
Of course, not everyone buys the lies.
Many, particularly lurkers with no dog in the fight, do see that packs of lies don’t cancel out a simple truth, and THAT’S why all over the internet, the ban hammer happy characters are, ‘nice, respectable, ladies’.
They know gentlemen want to be gentlemanly towards them, other women can become momentary ‘sistas’ and on top of that social buffer they can easily call up a simp army of white knights to help bury those with a habit of exposing how Social Media ‘friends’ are far more dangerous Influencers than TicToc strangers.
Again, a snip of a ‘quote’, with no timestamp for others to check the whole thing in context, followed by, enmity filled invectives & cries of ‘Liar! Be Gone!’, is as clear a sign of narrative pushing bullshitters on the internet as you can get.
My Niece is a Car sounds like a King Missile song.

What utter tripe from the unhinged one.
I said not all biotech was beholden to the abortion industry and your accusations directed at JC were unfounded.
And my tiny investment in a single Australian company, that I still hold btw, was and remains, innocent.
You are the poorest excuse for a Christian here, by a country mile.

“That these women are obsessed with calling for the banning of anyone who challenges the narratives they peddle …”
No….not obsessed, I have never asked DB to ban you or anyone else for that matter. That’s his prerogative because it’s his site however it is worth nothing that Sinclair banned you over four years ago and you can see why. You peddle unhinged and offensive garbage and lies and when called out for the narratives you peddle, as Lizzie noted, you become very, very nasty.

At the old cat, notafan/rosie insisted that the Biotech company she was invested in never had anything to do with aborted baby parts.
She said she checked after the Planned Parenthood Undercover Videos were released.
Also, all the cat’s have lists of ‘invented’ words that many cats are proud to have their ‘inventions’ included in.
I however went for the simple, old, Grandpa Simpson word, that many love and use all over the Net & the real world, and yes, even at the old cat.
Oh but you don’t hate me. Calling me a, “resident low life”, again, is just one of your unending terms of endearment for me, because, “I entertain you”, right?

It’s been on the radar at the same time as being banned by medical authorities.

“Refer to my previous post as to why I wouldn’t trust you to put anyone’s life above your own, especially not other Jews.”
You’re a disgraceful and fetid low life.
The key to preventing politicians from negatively impacting your blood pressure is to keep your expectations of them low.
Then, when they get something right, like ordering nuclear subs or opening up a state in the face of a cacophany of squawking ninnies, you can enjoy being pleasantly surpised for a change.
But don’t let your guard down, just the same.
Flying over Antarctica at 10k would be riskier on two fronts, I theorize.

Perrottet can make all the right sounds now (and I am glad there is a Premier who even dares talk about winding this damn thing up and discussing the economic cost – which feeds into social and psychological cost since the economy is driven by functioning people) but he is still limited by the political organisation.
He could announce the end of everything tomorrow but if his cabinet does not support him it will go nowhere.
And there is the fact that a lot of people who have been vaccinated felt were coerced to get their freedoms back (there was that Nurse in Victoria who let that cat out of the bag and in my experience with people there is a lot of that going about) they will want others to be forced also. It is a base instinct but dressed up in pretty language people will want to go along with it, so simply saying all restrictions for vaxxed and unvaxxed are lifted might not actually be popular.

Well, his focus on business is a good start. He knows how businesses are bleeding.

I agree on that, Cassie. My concern would be the level of pillow talk shared with Plibersek, who has her eyes on the top prize of PM. A very determined woman so it could happen.

You know what Roger, I gave up on Liberal Party saviours after Abbott was elected and he quickly awarded a gong to Stott-Despoja and played nice with Quentin Bryce.
There’s a saying from Midrash…that when you’re in the garden ploughing and you’re told that the Messiah has finally arrived, continue ploughing.
Just like when McPhee was immigration minister and had John Menadue as first secretary or what ever they call themselves.
Wally – Three atom molecules can have bending and twisting modes as well as other vibrational modes. I haven’t looked in detail at the various energy transitions though – we did that sort of stuff in physical chemistry. It’s useful though for things like lasers.
Carbon dioxide laser wiki
That’s the detail. Gas molecules absorb photons on the same wavelengths as they emit them – hence astronomers can detect CO2 in atmospheres of cooler stars by the same emission lines or absorption lines. Which correspond to the bending and stretching modes etc.
I’ve included the homonuclear molecule link to answer the nitrogen and oxygen question.
I don’t think CO2 much changes in relative concentration through the atmosphere column. It might a bit. But the effect of all the other molecules is to keep it mixed in via brownian motion. Pure CO2 gas will sink, eg if emitted from volcanic lakes like Lake Nyos in Cameroon, but in that case there aren’t the other gases to bounce the CO2 molecules around and mix it in.
When the CO2 absorbs an IR photon then it can transfer the energy to other surrounding air molecules by both mechanical impacts (ie. kinetic energy/heat) or by reradiating the photon. The absorption-reradiation is fast, so the energy is continually bouncing around in the atmosphere. It then finds its water to liquid water and that stops the interchange as I said above.
Hope that covers things, and hope you don’t mind the cut and paste from the CO2 laser wiki, which is getting fairly technical.
Ah, yes…the then Opposition leader’s mother-in-law.
I don’t suppose he had much choice, given that’s our polity.
Bryce did offer to step down for the sake of appearances, iirc.
They’ve learned to play to simple memes the Right drops to keep each other from being sucked in.
Hence that, “Facebook Whistle Blower”, being sold as, ‘one of the good guys exposing the evils of Facebook’, all over MSM, who are also selling ‘her suggestion’ that UniParty Big Govt should take over the censoring.
The Left can’t meme & the Left can’t dance.
They soon end up tripping over their clever quick steps.
“Bryce did offer to step down for the sake of appearances, iirc.”
Indeed and Abbott, if he’d had any testicular fortitude, should have accepted her resignation. But no, he played nice.
This is interesting… Bypass those pesky news paywalls.

Remember that Aesop’s fable about the old man & boy taking their donkey to sell at the market, and in trying to please all the people along the way as to how they should travel, all end up falling in the river & drowning?
That’s Cassie.
No expert here, but from what I can gather, it’s because it gives protection against one strand only, while the virus continually mutates. Your natural immune system recognises similarity between viruses but apparently the vaccine does not. I have also heard mention that it disables your innate immune system, which is why some doctors are worried about susceptibility to other, unconnected diseases.

You’ll have to forgive me for being sceptical about anything that appears to have had data falsified.
*****
Brett Sutton admitted that every person who died while covid positive is automatically counted as a covid death. (That’s why the kid who didn’t even get covid till he was in ICU on life support with encephalitis is listed in the covid death stats.)
AHPRA wrote to every doctor in Australia to discourage them from putting “covid vaccine” as a cause of death on death certificates.
You’ll have to forgive me for being sceptical about government information on the comparative risks of covid and covid vaccines.
About time for a feel-good tale .. meet OTIS .. LOL!

Seems the fifth day Covid super spreader event coming from Grand Final parties only exists in TaliDan regime propaganda unit.
NSW is down 20 cases from Sunday.
Victoria added 591 for the same period.
It’s science!
Can they make it to 2000???
Victoria has recorded 1838 cases and five deaths from coronavirus in the past 24 hours.
The surge in new infections is the highest daily tally recorded since the pandemic began.
Herald-Sun unlocked
As I pointed out, calling in the Power Posters, and desperately resorting to very tired, old tactic of insulting everyone’s intelligence, memory & literacy, by doing what even super shrinks wouldn’t dare; making lying public declarations of the mental health of your opponent – oh yeah, you’re such a very classy act –
BTW, Callie did not say, “… with this despicable nasty low life who peddles lies, fabrications and nonsense to suit her conspiracy infested world. She is a disgrace.”
You trying to make it sound as if she did, trying to put your words in her mouth as you do with me and others, is very low.
It all comes down to political calculations.
The “optics” wouldn’t have looked good, Bryce being quite popular at the time if I recall…
It would be laughable if it weren’t tax payer money! .. top advisor at 22 according to the article .. No real life experience just Daddy’s influence and you can have a five figure salary courtesy of the mug vote-herd …….. does the troughin’ ever end .. ?

“The “optics” wouldn’t have looked good, Bryce being quite popular at the time if I recall…”
No, I disagree, I don’t recall her being hugely popular, besides it was less than two months since his landslide. I think he could have gotten away with the optics.
Added to sidebar.
Yes, however she, as GG along with PM Gillard, also laughed & giggled during the Minutes Silence at The Anniversary Remembrance Ceremony of The Bombing of Darwin.
I believe that was also for the sake of appearances.
They wanted to make sure Australians could see that Respect for Australia, Australian’s & Australia’s Military was No Longer Acceptable.
Can’t image Bryce being popular. Just another repellent member of the nomenklatura.

All that bicycle riding makes for flat testicles.
Sorry the whole Coutes Trotter phenomenon reeks of uniparty and anarcho-tyranny.
And that should be the default with any decision or appointment by the tax eaters.
I agree Tim
I said many times on Sunccat that the methodology (within 28 or 30 days from a positive test) for counting covid deaths was dubious.
At one point Dan announced a 20 something who had overdosed as a covid death.
Speaking of the caste, I note Victoria’s governor has family ties with a prominent Melbourne developer.
I’m sure they’d like to see Andrews gone.
It does leave her in an awkward position, though, in regard to that petition.
Yeah, the whole coutts=trotter thing is amazing; the guy was a drug dealer, FFS. His wife is a complete kunt and he has no other qualifications. Maybe he gives good head. I thought Dom was a good Christian man; maybe he’s afflicted with the Christian super forgivance gene.
Who? Schwartz?
It matters not whether Coutts-Trotter is, or is not capable.
The issue is that he was appointed corruptly to the PS through nepotism, or pillowism in his case.
Demonstrate any other mechanism that would lead to the appointment of a criminal to be head of the Dept of Education – EDUCATION.
“I knew a ……. once and he was a good bloke”. Just doesn’t cut it. His appointment was corrupt. The male equivalent of the Left’s hated but constantly practiced sleeping your way the top.
“Oh please be understanding, I made a mistake and paid my dues”. Bullshit you were appointed by your floosie – fuck off scammer. No other person with your record would have even been looked at.
Did Johannes Leak or anyone else produce a great illustration following Pell’s exoneration, 7-0, back in April 2020? I’m struggling to find any.
In NSW we had a rotten government replaced in 2012 by another rotten government which turned out to be even worse. I don’t expect changing leader to improve things seeing the new leader was part of said government. The problem is the political class.
Lotta crybullying going on.

I’d have walked out of that happy clappy mass.
I’ve done it before here and in France, before mass even started, because there was a rainbow flag behind the altar.
Bruce- thanks heaps for your explanation and links. I’m much happier stretching my understanding, even if it risks straining the brain. And I’m at least two steps ahead of the carbon Karens.
I stand with Dot. Ivermectin was known to have antiviral properties WAY before COVID-19 breakout.
Here is from 2014 discussing its antiviral properties:
https://www.cell.com/trends/parasitology/pdf/S1471-4922(14)00126-3.pdf
Here is from a Nature article summarising some of the viruses it has been shown to be effective against:
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41429-020-0336-z/tables/1
And it was shown to have effectiveness against SARS-CoV-2 very early in the game. For example from March/April 2020.

To me the worst appointments by NSW liberals were Anna Bligh’s husband and Mark Scott.
Calling on the Governor of Victoria to dissolve the Victorian Parliament
Waste of time. The move to four-year fixed terms also saw the governor stripped of all powers to dissolve a government except at the instruction of the premier:
Dissolving the Legislative Assembly
The terms of the Legislative Assembly and Legislative Council normally expire automatically after four years. The Governor’s reserve power to dissolve the Legislative Assembly within that period can only be exercised in the following exceptional circumstances:
*when the Legislative Assembly passes a motion of ‘No Confidence’ in the Premier and Ministers, or
* when the Premier has advised the Governor that the dispute resolution process provided for in the Constitution has failed to resolve a deadlock between the two Houses of Parliament on a particular Bill.
Aren’t our beloved politicians supposed to have an indestructible inbuilt survival instinct? The gliberals and nationals in NSW appear to have had theirs surgically removed.
Stop this insanity or you’re electoral toast, you sad creepy imbeciles. It’s not rocket surgery, FFS.
He’s not my Pope either and thank you Bruce of Newcastle keep me up to date about the Communist ‘Pope’
I’m disappointed it was jetskis rather than super yachts KD.
Taibbi writes a column on Molnupiravir reaction, but doesn’t unlock the original column.

Molnupiravir should be seen as part of the Swiss cheese approach to covid management.
Given there is only a certain window for it to be effective, if and when it comes on the market, I would not like to rely on it as my first line of defence.
Tim, you write: AHPRA wrote to every doctor in Australia to discourage them from putting “covid vaccine” as a cause of death on death certificates.
Have a link? I just searched AHPRA’s website without any luck.
Exactly and as I understand it, the Opposition etc. can only move a No Confidence motion once per term.
Coutts-Trotter is not a drug dealer. Yes, he was over thirty-years ago…he served time.
The Scaf crimes were a while ago as well .. anyone offering time served condolences?
I have had personal dealings with Michael Coutts-Trotter when head of departments in a couple of portfolios – he is a competent, compassionate and gets things done despite the malice of bureaucrats.
I recall when his was head of the department dealing with Childrens’ services and Prue Goward was trying to help children in out of home care to have permanent placements with foster families to mitigate the damage of constant instability and supported adoption as an option for permanent care– the bureaucrats were trying to destroy Prue Goward for her stance on these issues.
Michael Coutts-Trotter defended his Minister robustly and vigorously because he knew that what she wanted was for the children to stop being abused by the system.
As of next Friday i will not be able to attend a house for sale as part of my job. However, i can attend that same house as a prospective purchaser. So, i will be able to stand in line with 50 other people waiting to inspect it, but i won’t be able to go through it on my own, even if it is vacant.
A real estate agent tells me that Dan’s ‘roadmap’ includes banning the unvaxxed from inspecting properties in the future. Dan is psychotic enough to implement this.
How many of this number had no symptoms but got tested anyway because “its right thing to do”*(T.M.).
Both served their time so that should be the end of it. Michael Coutts-Trotter has fared well, we’ll see how Bilal Skaf fares.
Taibbi is very good and correct about CNN preaching to the converted.

Yep…old Riverview boy.
Hmm.
The press also twist what he says. Lysander pointed this out yesterday.
Oh well, maybe Andrews will take a leaf out of Perrottet’s book and appoint Peta Credlin as his CofS.
Wow. Even Monash University are science hating Trumpian right wing terrorists.
Dan is psychotic enough to implement this.
The closer IBAC gets to uncovering his corruption*, the more distraction squirrels we’ll see.
*just how close remains to be seen, given that Commissioner Redlick is hereditary Labor royalty, being the son of the late Clyde Holding’s law partner, Peter Redlich, at Labor lawyers Holding Redlich.
…..Although Peter was dedicated to the firm, he was a man of many other parts. As President and past-President of the Victorian branch of the ALP he was influential in both State and Federal politics. He was a mentor and informal adviser to a number of politicians, both those who had achieved senior positions and those starting out on their careers.
Peter also had a strong and enduring relationship with the union movement, particularly with ACTU Secretaries Bob Hawke and Bill Kelty and ACTU President Simon Crean. Many union officials still speak admiringly of Peter’s passionate and no-holds barred advocacy of their members’ claims.
Peter also had time to be, at various times, Chair of the Victorian Arts Centre, the TAB and Film Victoria, a director of the Australian Industry Development Corporation and Telstra and a member of the Monash University Council. He was made an AO for his services to the law, politics and the community – an appointment of which he rightfully was very proud.
Redlich, the Jenny Coate you have when your can’t have a Jenny Coate.
As was pointed out earlier, Coutts-Trotter was appointed dDirector General of the NSW Department of Education, when a prison sentence would have earned any of the teachers in that system the order of the boot..
In a few days happen to mention you heard some unsavoury looking characters talking in a carpark that they would burn down any business that asked them for proof of vaccination. I got out of there quick smart. No I didn’t think to take their rego number. No other details. If a few of us said this it may give business owners a moment to think. I doubt it though.
“waste of time. The move to four-year fixed terms also saw the governor stripped of all powers to dissolve a government except at the instruction of the premier:”
Which is why I’m opposed to fixed four year terms. I believe that fixed terms are antithetical to the Westminster system, they neuter oppositions and there’s no accountability for governments in power.
Yet fixed four year terms have been supported by the Liberals..it was the Greiner government here in NSW that not only set up ICAC, which has now claimed three Liberal premiers yet not one Labor premier…funny that, but also introduced fixed four year terms. They are a disaster.
The time served for society. My family members, not so.
Comparing a sex offender to a drug dealer is very Ben Shapiro.
Ie primary school debating.
Calm down there, Nick Fuentes.
Tony Blair has had a rough week, being the token lefty that got thrown under the bus from the Pandora papers.
But he’s had a turn up today with the Saudi sovereign wealth fund buying his beloved Newcastle FC.
Pity most women can’t ready past a primary school level in Saudi Arabia, but at least those oil dollars can buy another play thing.
Both served their time so that should be the end of it. Michael Coutts-Trotter has fared well, we’ll see how Bilal Skaf fares.
I’m sure Bilal will do quite well when he’s offered a high level NSW gummint position .. no doubt he’s fielding several offers already .. should be very well qualified given his years spent within the prison service.
EVs still suck.
Reasons that people ditch electric vehicles show ‘revolution’ will be slow and rocky (7 Oct)
Basic reasons, from the article:
1. Charging sucks because it’s too slow
2. Electricity is expensive
I can’t see how either issue can be solved, since renewables have been causing massive electricity price increases lately, and another article today shows fast-charging an EV is bad.
Why fast charging reduces the capacity of a car battery (7 Oct)
Sam Hyde > Abigail > King Nick > Ben
But he was always supervised when around children – teachers would be given the boot precisely because they work with children. But then using the ‘police beards’ as a precedent (the Police Minister has a beard, why couldn’t officers wear one) he should not have been employed.
Thanks for sorting that one, Diogenes.
EVs still suck.
They sure do. Bloody dangerous as well as inconvenient. I wonder if the batteries in hybrids are as dangerous as those in EVs.
Coutts-Trotter = Bilal Skaf?
In exactly what universe would that be?
Let’s keep this stuff real, guys.
From The Australian…
“Andrews sorry for twice going maskless
Daniel Andrews has apologised after vision emerged of the Victorian Premier not wearing a mask on two occasions, saying he will pay the $200 penalty if he is fined by police.
Mr Andrews said if he was not fined, he would donate the money to a charity. He said he removed his mask after leaving his car before walking towards the press waiting at the front of parliament.
“I am aware that as I approached two press conferences at the back of parliament house this week I removed my mask after leaving the car, before I walked to the back doors,” he said.”
He should be fined.
And given that he is recidivist, he may never be employed by anyone for any reason as well.
His more pressing problem would be gaining entry into the US, although an exemption would probably be made.
Being well-connected is like that.
