Why negotiate when you can ramp up oil production and bankrupt Russia (and Iran) who rely on oil revenues?
No.
I thought so. I’m not sure I’d tick all the libertarian boxes but in a Venn diagram there’d be considerable…
Johnson wasn’t ‘nuanced’. It’s just nonsense.

Ahahaha! I just “liked” my own comment! Now I feel guilty.
I’d better report myself. Or did I just do that?
Life is so complicated.
Yes. The Grand Final and protest windows have well and truly closed.
They tried to dog-whistle that one for a few days by publishing “stabilised” figures for NW suburbs (ie immigrants from Shitholistan) vs “escalating” numbers for Eastern suburbs (white bread footy fans). The Y-axis scale on the Eastern suburbs graph was in single units, the NW suburbs graph was in hundreds, and there was no discernible difference in growth patterns.
Well, yes.
Sutton will discover this about a week before the Glasgow climate gab-fest.

Extended family living maybe one possible solution to redress the education and age care concerns a lot have. Keep posting.
From bird at the other Cat:
I just shouted at the girl at the train station for practicing toilet terrorism. They want people to be tracked before they let them take a pee. Of course I threatened to pee into her office, informed her that this was a communist takeover and that there is no virus and so forth. But I can’t do this alone. Yet twenty people, doing spot checks on their local train station, particularly if they are driving, could end this nonsense quite quickly.
And this:
The inbred troglodytes like to cause trouble at a safe distance. The last time they tried to show up in person and entice black people to hurt whitey Rittenhouse easily disposed of three of them without even trying. Killed two of them outright and blew the thirds bicep clean off. Great shooting son. So the upshot is that a lot of the murder is likely to be performed by drones. Its a big global operation and there will be a lot of diseconomies of scale. That means that simple things like being able to camp 200 metres from home, having very crude and old fashioned camoflauge strategies … these things may become very important.

The New South Wales Greens have raised concerns about new gun laws which mean security guards can now carry high-powered firearms.
Maybe retirement is overrated….
At one stage the greens were advocating shooters could only have the same amount of ammunition that their weapon held; a lot of single shot competition .22s were miffed at the prospect of only being allowed one round of .22 ammunition.
In other news the Ruger PC is now legal in WA due to the action of NSC, which every gun owner should join.

But from the provided link (rosie, I believe) and Mr Panzer:
No big deal at all. Not even a tiny bit of crashing roadblocks.
I’m starting to think that the information provided by a certain busker may well be a very long, uphill dogleg par 5 from reality.
Also, there was this:
Hang on. I thought truckies were going to down the hi-vis and put away the on-board retina surveillance (monitored 24/7, apparently), thus starving the country.

If anyone’s wondering what axe is being ground here, here’s a summary:
1. A scientific paper stated that a particular percentage should be calculated as 104/827. Critics asserted that a large component of the 827 data sample – 700 in fact – should be excluded from the denominator. (The authors eventually agreed, though by that stage they’d updated their data anyway.)
2. Lizzie alleged that a figure for that percentage, 82%, was being propounded by “loonies”, who along with “idiot commenters” and people who couldn’t read a basic scientific paper, had been muddling up the 827 sample with some of the authors’ other data.
3. It was pointed out to her that 104/(827-700)=82%
4. Lizzie insisted that she’d known that all along, but that the real issue was that her superior expertise enabled her to discern that the 827 sample was flawed, and should be supplemented with some of the authors’ other data.
5. In an ensuing 43 hour long lecture series, Lizzie validated her thesis with a series of “fuck off”‘s, denunciation of “dickless uptickers”, and revelations that she’d got HD’s in some of her Masters’ subjects, she lives in “the richest suburb in Sydney” and her husband is from Cambridge University.
You can verify any or all of this on the 11 October open thread.
Life’s a battleground that comes at you often out of left field, and the desire to hit back is strong.
My sympathies, Muddy, but well done anyway.
Haha, a certain children’s cartoon series would cause endless fun in Sri Lanka.
Used to watch it after school. Somehow I doubt the ABC will be repeating it…

What sort of gibberish is that?
I had a quick look.
It seems that, over a few short weeks, we have transitioned from “Meh. Get over it. It’s just the rich tapestry of free speech.” to
“Please, please, please, just flag the comment and ignore him. Do not engage.”
Terminator was too optimistic.
Wot? I thought those who worked in the courts and their staff and CTH workers were exempted?
Uptick!
Uptick uptick uptick!
In all seriousness, that was pretty funny.
Blind Freddie could see that the data was incorrect. Plenty of anti-vaxxers lapped up what they thought was a huge failure of the vaccines, which it was not. I analysed how it this study report became so flawed by detailed reference to the paper and the author’s correction of it.
And you Timothy created a straw man re my views that you would not let go of, constantly harrassed me about this nothing-burger for days on end such that each time I replied saying it was a nothing-burger, in you hopped again, and ended up slamming off at my competence (‘beclowning’ was a constant and unwarranted meme). You then capped it off by making snide remarks about ‘only a credit in a master’s degree’, which I thought required some correction.
What was your game, and why were you playing it?
Do you think CL was wrong, btw, to think something rather unpleasant was happening????
And the uptickers who followed like sheep were not doing themselves or this site any favours, imo.
Don’t know too many foreign swear words but Dak ling is apparently monkey’s behind in Lao. Usually preceded with Sow wow or shut up. Very insulting or a term of endearment apparently.

Brainwashed kids protest about the environment; teachers and the media should be abolished:

Seems to me Victoria is getting many of it’s ‘cases’ via day care and primary schools, even though primary schools are currently restricted to children of essential workers.
There are currently around 1500 cases in people over 80 so it must be in aged care somewhere too, the total number hospitalised is just below 800 so lots of the oldies must be holding up okay.
And as Andrews appears to be going ahead with his restriction easing (which is indeed a nothing burger for most long suffering Melbournians bigger picnics! ) he can’t be too bothered by the hospital numbers.
Like my New Jersey customer said what is happening in Melbourne is surreal.
New Jersey has 1500 cases and 20 deaths a day and zero restrictions.
Are there any live feeds of today’s protest in Melbourne?

I have used both the SA single use permit and the extended “essential wukka” permit.
Piece of piss. And I am not really interested in hearing about “breach of privacy” in filling out the form.
If you have done any one of …
– got a drivers licence;
– started a job and filled out a tax declaration;
– connected the gas, electricity or water;
– got a credit card;
– taken out a mortgage;
– bought or sold a vehicle;
… you will have provided far more information to government/ corporate entity than this form requires.
There is another possibility of course. That Mr and Mrs Struth Senior are bullshitting the ‘apple of their eye’ about border closures.

Good, KD, because it was an exasperated piece of irony. i.e. a joke hit out at Timothy’s need to deride my qualifications and experience and competence. I am proud of what I have achieved in my life; it didn’t come from nowhere, I had to claw my way into education at a time when it just didn’t happen for working class girls (don’t forget I was a throwaway adolescent and teenager of the 1950’s in one of Sydney’s most distressed areas), and I am not incompetent nor was I ‘beclowned’. My qualifications btw were hard won, for half of the time (the original thesis writing part not the one year of intense coursework) while I was holding down a full time academic job and looking after four children, two of them difficult adolescents, and two of them under five and supporting a husband on a high-rising career path.
Knocking me down for no good reason, the constant harrassment when I indicated initially no great interest in pursuing the study right through to explicate its obvious failings and complications, which meant I had to take it up, get the study, analyse it, and then the dickless uptick pile on – it’s all left a very bitter feeling for me about being here. I am close to the end of my life on this planet, have things left to do, and I am feeling fairly fed up about the world in general now. Very ‘Muddy’ about it all, I suspect, in a place such as this where I should not expect to feel like this.
Let it be now, there’s more to deal with than my upset over this matter.
I’ll get busy elsewhere for a while, which will probably suit everyone better, including me.
ok guys, that’s it for me. I’m off to my penis enlargement class. Hoo roo.

My cunning plan to escape jury service.
The ex had the best approach. Summoned to serve in NYC, she said she didn’t think she’d be able to judge a black defendant fairly, saying she’d been mugged by Harlem’s dusky sons some years previous.
The judge was particularly upset and gave her a lecture about equality and decency, but turned her lose anyway.
By the way, he was black — which inspired her to invent the Harlem mugging, which never happened.
There’s a lot to like about the ex, not least that she, metaphorically, has balls the size of church bells.

Rockdoctor,
‘Dak ling’ is what they call you in a Ukranian whorehouse.
Or so I am informed. I’ll check with Anna, she’s Ukrainian.
Nature Strip, my favourite sprinter, just won that $15 million pop-up racing gimmick in Sydney that didn’t exist a decade ago. And 10,000 people got to see it live. Woohoo.
Now we will be forced to watch a real racing classic, the Caulfield Cup, locked in our Victorians loungerooms because no-one will stand up to the petty tyrant ruling over us.
The blokes at the pub reckon he’s gone. I won’t believe them ‘til it happens. Too many Victorians hate freedom and love tyranny.
France also wants the seal of the confessional breached. What is the seal of confession? a q and a with Cardinal Mauro Piacenza from the Catholic News Agency
Ring up the afternoon before jury selection, tell them you have a sore throat and a sniffle and probably should go get a PCR test tomorrow but can give it a miss and come in if they really need you.
Breach the seal? They should blow it.
It will last. It’s too popular. Tradition is great, we should welcome new ones.
Great protest in Brisbane. Well done.
Let me guess. You think its bad but want to keep doctor/lawyer – client privilege though?

Dot, the Caulfield Cup was first run in 1879. Maybe you’re right. Maybe there are enough gullible idiots in Sydney to keep the Everest going for another 140 years.

Thanks for all the creative suggestions on jury duty, but I think I have a pretty good out.
“Ah, Your Grace, I went to boarding school with the star witness for the prosecution” (totally true. He was one year ahead of me. But this was in 1984, so does that get me out?).
“We played on the school First XI cricket team together “(true-ish. Two games when he was in HSC and captain and I was in year 11. He ignored me totally during the first game and our only interaction during the second was him yelling at me for a dropped catch and being forced to apologise to me by the coach).
“I have the utmost respect for him …” (Hmmm. But that is subjective so whatevs)
“… and I am afraid I would have great difficulty discounting any evidence he gave in any way at all”. (OK. We’ve crossed a line there)

The Sydney v Melbourne racing debate.
Apart from the Cox Plate, Mackinnon Stakes & maybe the Geelong Cup for a bit of fun, there’s not much on offer each spring in Victoria.

In the future (I hope. And assuming we are permitted one where there is room for mirth and imagination) comedians will be making jokes about the 2010’s and the 2020’s.
Like they do now with movies mocking the 70’s and the 80’s.
I used to think the most obvious point to mock would be the obsession with mobile phones – walking without looking, not noticing plane crashes and earthquakes, meeting up with friends and then ignoring them while tapping on their phones, etc.
But The Coof will be a cornucopia of dated and defunct idiocy.
(I tried watching Anchorman last night. It just looked daggy. From what little I saw it seemed the writers disliked their characters and it showed. They were also blind to the reality that the 70’s made sense at the time and only look weird now, but the modern sensibilities with which they mocked the 70’s will eventually be the butt of jokes too. I recall a quote that I can no longer trace the source of, along the lines “It is strange to remember that any moment in the past, however remote, was at another point in the future.”)
Err, I may have been inadvertently and unjustly critical of them in the past, but my neighbours are the salt of the earth.

I linked a presentation a couple of weeks ago where it was stated that someone tried to travel overseas with a fake vaccine certificate and the security scan was able to pick up that she had not, in fact, been vaccinated. I speculated that it was because of the metal bits which were found in large numbers in blood samples taken from vaccinated people.

https://www.smh.com.au/national/population-shock-where-the-truth-resides-on-immigration-20210922-p58tsd.html
The 2021 Intergenerational Report has clearly signalled the government’s intention to quickly ramp up net migration to about 235,000 a year from 2024-25 – the fastest rate of increase in net migration in our history. That includes an assumed increase in the formal migration program from 160,000 a year to 190,000 a year from 2023-24. But the report provides no indication of how net migration of 235,000 a year will be delivered.
…
Im going to attempt a really, really technical answer to the following brian dropping from the writer here..
It was a populist* approach designed to win the approval of a voting public looking for someone to blame for their long commute**, and to deflect attention away from the failure of successive governments to adequately plan infrastructure*** and services****in our major cities*****.
*: So a policy approved of by people?
**: That “long commute” seems to get longer the more people cram into the place… hmmm if only there was a clue
***: That would be the infrastructure needed because you are bringing in more people, making commutes longer..
****: Those would be the services needing to constantly expand because the population expands, to service the infrastructure from greater population which is increasing commute times..
*****: Those would be the major cities providing services and infrastructure to meet a growing population needed to facilitate the services and infrastructure..
….
And when you’re talking about congestion in Sydney or Melbourne, it doesn’t matter if the bloke in the car next to you is a temporary entrant or a permanent one or a citizen.
It does if the fucker is still in shitholistan and not on the road next to you dickwad..
The whole article does however serve one fact up very well.
All the governments proj3ections on good financial management and economics were and still are 100% based on running the population ponzi as hard and fast as they can.
Sucked in, who ever you are. Quite possibly the most unpleasant experience of my life.
And no, I have no tips about to avoid it. Get in there among your fellow citizens and “feel the justice”.
Ah, look, I’d rather not stray into areas of fact that can actually be checked. I already had a bit of a terse exchange with the Jury Wrangler over the 50km boundary.
And I have service on a trial where the judge said we shouldn’t have to go again.
But that one is under a suppression order I think (or was) so I don’t know how to go about dragging that out.
about how to avoid it, FFS …
Do you mean this place? I thought it sounded more phallic rather than anal.
calli – you’ll still manage to look a whole lot more aesthetically pleasing than the 70 year old derro who staggered out of the cottage this morning.
Just go and get it cut. No one will challenge you.
Great way to finish the day for Moody.
Sancho, if you have to turn up for jury duty, dress in your best suit and tie, be clean shaven, freshly haircut, shiny shoes. Almost guaranteed you will be challenged by the defence and excused.
Apparently defence lawyers hate anyone who looks remotely like a conservative, believing they will always find any alleged offender “Guilty”. I got tthis straight from a Court Bailiff.
I think it was Zulu who got out of serving on a jury by wearing an Army Regiment tie with his suit.
I’ve just read a James Hogan science fiction book on the recommendation of BoN. It was childish and wildly implausible. He’d painted himself into a corner, to get out he had to posit that our moon had left the asteroid belt after the destruction of its primary and been captured by Earth fifty thousand years ago. Which is dotty.
It probably helps to have an LLB just in case, in which case jury service suddenly doesn’t look so bad.
I’m sure you look nothing over 40 now with your brand new shearing.
I carefully styled mine with muchos product and hairspray for Dad’s 90th do yesterday. Very much a B52s look.

Lol. Sancho and Pedro.
I can’t help thinking of the two cartoon crows.
He he he. They are referring to the odious Carrie Johnson as Madame de Pompadour, and Madame de Ports. Both of whom brought down their ageing, lustful, idiot men, as she surely will.
LOL – so it’s poor ol’ Sancho that’s required to perform his citizenly duty.
He’s more than equipped to get himself out of that unfortunate call to service.
Just as I thought I was before ending up as a foreman on a six day* abduction and multiple sex assault case.

For those suggesting Dom Perrottet ’96 has been smacked down by ScoMo, it might be time for a re-think.
Do you reckon ScoMo would have rushed out an announcement about international travel if Perrottet had said nothing?
No.
“Small target” ScoMo would have sat on his hands until Hunchback or Pole-Mole had said “We won’t be considering that before April”. Then he would be begging them to consider bringing it forward and would probably have thrown “hospital funding” at them to make it happen.
In his own understated way, Perrottet has done a Trump. He has framed the agenda, which is “When (not if) within the next six weeks, are we doing this?”
ScoMo couldn’t argue. After all, it is in his own National fucking Cabinet roadmap, but he wasn’t going to drive it. The best he could do is tweak it around the edges and claim it as his own.
Perrottet has cracked this thing open and deserves credit for that.
And he has made Hunchback and Pole-Mole look like pathethic provincial mayors in the process.
There’s a lot to be said for self-delusion 🙂
LOL.

I was thinking about going the full beard, horned Viking helmet, face-paint and bearskin coat.
Whatchoo talkin’ about, Calli?
Pinch Custards MAGA cap.
Instant discharge from the jury pool.
Learnt, last week, that there are people in WA who have returned from elsewhere, and are living under the system where a text from the police will require an immediate return text with “selfie” photo showing the prole on quarantine location.
Since heard that the text routine have not been functioning, as mate has shaved off his beard and the photos are not recognized.
Not recognized by our humble remote working police officer? Hardly, the bloke is pretty distinctively funny looking, even without the beard and a creeping pallor.
Oh no, it’s not recognized by the algorithm. The ‘bot. The spyware.
So there you have it. The facial recognition policing of Australians by geolocation is being processed by an app, written in all likelihood in China, processed by phones and chips made in China, with information going through a Chinese filter.
Anyone who has applied for any of this new normal travel stuff is now on file, indefinitely, and a lot of people who haven’t- like kids, suspect sketches, bailees- will be having their faces mapped out too.
It’s not about safety.
It’s about control.

On three occasions I have gone for jury panelling.
The system is outrageous. If you have been randomly selected from the electrol roll, that should be it.
If I have been rejected, which is a slight upon my character, I want to know why.
Cesspit.
It is heartening to hear you speak so positively about your ex, areff. And equally heartening that you never speak ill of her.
My brother is equally respectful of his ex… all three of them.

Oh god this is as bad as the stuff going on in SA.

Premier Nerdlinger has tweeted that NSW went through 80% double jab today (for those 16 & over).
Meaning that 90% double shot is on track for 1st Dec if not before.
That’s racing.

Fark!
I did five weeks on a trial involving crimes of much violence.
I reckon we only spent about six days actually in the court room. Stupid fucking defence barrister constantly called points of law on everything. I think it was a tactic to interrupt and confuse witnesses. I could tell the judge was none too impressed with the delays. The last “everybody back to the jury room” lasted less than five minutes and it was very tense when we got back. I reckon the judge gave Mr Defence a fucking good bollocking. And his summing up did Mr Defence no favours.
Then there was four days in the jury room.
FMD.
Guilty as sin but there were initially three holdouts. I think two were SJWs and another was a pensioner who was happy with the day rate.
The signs are not encouraging so far.
However, if there is significant civil disobedience evident, then the idiocy may end soon. Which is unlikely, because apparently, we’re all in need of a grate reset.

I am so deeply, deeply saddened by the tragic news that Sir David has passed away. He loved being an MP and was a great public servant. It is just awful. My thoughts and prayers, and those of all Londoners, are with David’s loved ones at this time of unimaginable grief.

When I got called up for jury duty, most of the blokes were dressed like they were off to the tip or the beach, the young dolly birds off to a night on the turps.
Nearly all were milling around like sheep minus their minder dog and some of the stupid questions being asked at the sheriff’s jury briefing were beyond belief.
I lost a lot of faith in the jury system when I saw some of the cretins on the panels.
Sancho – I was called upon (again) barely three years after the first ordeal.
Write back to them and tell them you’ve had enough, FFS.
Claim PTSD, they won’t dare challenge it.
OK, I’ll give it a try, BoN. I’m always up for interesting ideas.
That’s the advice I was given by a solicitor in Queensland years ago. Defense Counsel doesn’t like ex – servicemen on the jury – they tend to believe the accused must be guilty, or he/she wouldn’t have been arrested in the first place.
Not sure how I accomplished that, but too much Pulp Fiction is never enough. Parliament should be framed around it. You never see this in Hansard:
‘Oh I’m sorry. Did I break your concentration?’
‘I ain’t giving her the shot. The day I bring some fucked-up pupa to your house, I’ll give her the shot!’
‘Pretty please. With sugar on top. Clean the fuckin’ car.’
‘You’re the one supposed to be on fuckin’ brain detail!’

Obviously jurors need to be out if they know the participants or harbour other obvious bias.
But the challenges from counsel should be subjected to a bit more scrutiny. They should articulate aloud before the judge why they are scrubbing jurors.
They have their little selection rules, but they wouldn’t stand scrutiny:-
“We just know older conservative women acquit men of rape” (susceptible to the ‘asking for it’ defence).
“I don’t want an accountant on my client’s fraud trial. He/she will see straight through our bullshit”.
The other wonderful aspect of my jury service was reading the braindead lamestream meeja’s interpretation of our deliberations.
“They only took one and a half hours to find the accused* guilty on ten of the eleven charges.”
That was because I kept a very tight ship, as the saying goes.

The judge on the previous trial said we should get a free pass in future.
I was so keen to get out of there I didn’t ask for a letter confirming that.
I think that card will be coming out if required.

Bwah ha ha ha ha.
The dumb-arses in the MSM get fed by counsel to match their bias.
Which is inevitably towards the defence unless you are a Cardinal.
Quick decision = “lack of proper deliberation”.
Slow decision = “jury agonised long and hard before arriving at the verdict” (obviously the not guilty holdouts were leant on).
Mine wasn’t reported because of that quaint Victorian practice in 1 out of 3 trials – suppression.
That makes it awkward to dredge up a transcript for exemption I think.
This is how far we have fallen. So much for a continent of anti-authoritarian larrikins.
It would seem the Mongyang protesters today did a decent job of keeping the jacks on the buses, off the buses, on, off, load the horses onto the trailers, off the trailers, back on the trailers and so on.
No more fiery statements by Patton or Cornelius. Just grey-beige boilerplate about ‘risk to the safety of Victorians’ by an unnamed spokesmanchick.
Transmissions are going into reverse everywhere.
” Sir David has passed away. “
How quaint, typical comment from an apologist of Islamic terror. He didn’t “pass away”….he was murdered by an adherent of a death cult, the same death cult that Scum Khan belongs to.

Bruce, you are absolutely right. Unless Neil turns up again, I will desist.
Burns is a better batsman than I ever was, and I was okay. Plus, he’s played for Australia, is a Shield regular and has been for years, and does okay in the hit and giggle too.
A decent lower middle order bat on the world stage, but with a technique unsuited to opening. Shit, he’s probably a decent bloke to boot. I went back and looked the first innings. He made 48 out of a 152 total.
So piss off, you dickless upticking Burns haters. Throw your venom where it belongs. At Warner.
Yeah, definitely giving it a run.

In our clever courts the wisest of the Wise have found this…
https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2021/oct/16/government-accused-of-shirking-responsibility-in-bid-to-overturn-ruling-against-aboriginal-deportation
In February 2020 the high court held in a narrow four-three split that Aboriginal Australians cannot be aliens within the meaning of the constitution and cannot be deported.
In a case before the federal court Shayne Paul Montgomery, a New Zealand man, is seeking to fight deportation by extending the category of non-citizen non-alien to people who have been culturally adopted as Aboriginal, although they have no Aboriginal biological descent.
So not Aboriginal.
I stick my dick in a horse it doesnt make me blood kin to Phar lap.
Heres the chaps origin countries from another linked story.
The plaintiffs were born in Papua New Guinea and New Zealand, each with one Aboriginal parent, and faced deportation due to laws which allow the cancellation of visas on character grounds.
…
Stolen generators/”My Aunty was a kangaroo for census purposes” gets a run again.
“By bringing this on, the commonwealth is seeking to drag us back to a situation where an Aboriginal person could be an alien in their own country,” she said.
…
The home affairs department has revealed that, as of April, nine people have been released from immigration detention as a result of the decision and satisfying the three-part test of Aboriginal descent, self-identification and community recognition.
Those include Brendan Thoms, whose case will be back before the high court in the new year, to determine whether the commonwealth is liable for holding him in detention. A further 20 people in immigration detention are having their claims assessed.
Interesting that the highest court in the land found that actual citizenship is meaningless as long as the “one drop” rule applies.
And in at least one case not even that.
In her minority judgment, Kiefel warned it was up to parliament to determine who is an “alien” and the court should not “usurp” that role by adopting an interpretation based on what it “perceives to be a desirable policy”.
Allowing Aboriginal Australians’ legal status as non-aliens to be determined by elders with traditional authority “would be to attribute to the group the kind of sovereignty” rejected even in the landmark Mabo native title cases, she said.
Race is “irrelevant to the questions of citizenship and membership of the Australian body politic”.
