Well, hi there!

Good evening to all on the Cat!
It was a dark and stormy night…
Well, its dark at least, here in the newly free kingdom of the boiling frogs.

There is no room for dissent from the fascist party line at The Age. From the Paywallian’s Media Diary:
Michael Leunig’s storied half-century career as The Age’s best-known editorial page cartoonist has ended not with a bang, but a whimper.
A cryptic 39-word statement on its letters page last Monday said that the venerable Melbourne newspaper was “trialling new cartoonists” on the page.
Now Leunig has confirmed to Diary that he was axed from his prized Monday editorial page position by The Age, after it dumped a cartoon in which he compared Daniel Andrews’ threat of “vaccine mandates” for Victoria to the famous Tiananmen Square vision of “Tank Man”, the Beijing dissenter who defiantly faced off against the Chinese government’s tanks in 1989.
“ ‘Purge’ is a word that comes to mind,” he tells Diary of his axing. “Apparently, I’m out of touch with the readership.”
The cartoon never made it into the newspaper because The Age refused to publish it. But Leunig self-published on his own online site, earning angry criticism from #IStandWithDan supporters on social media. Leunig says The Age’s editor Gay Alcorn* called him soon after she banned the offending cartoon to “break the news gently” that he was no longer wanted on the editorial page.
“Gay feels this type of cartoon is not in line with public sentiment, and The Age’s readership, who it does seem are largely in favour of the Andrews Covid narrative. But my job is to challenge the status quo, and that has always been the job of the cartoonist.”
Leunig has defended the offending cartoon: “The Tiananmen Square image is often used in cartoons around the world as a Charlie Chaplin-like metaphor for overwhelming force meeting the innocent powerless individual. In my view, it is a fair enough issue to raise in the most locked-down city in the world.” Alcorn’s message to him in the phone calls was that “I am too out of step with our readers” – even though, he says, a Michael Leunig Appreciation Page operated by The Age on Facebook currently has more than 213,000 followers.
“If what Gay says is right, I don’t much want to work for the sorts of readers who are so censorious. It seems that at The Age in particular, you can’t go near the Covid story except in a way that’s supportive of the Victorian government’s handling of it. And if you’re not supportive, that’s reason enough for you to be cancelled.”
Leunig has also let rip on how the news was revealed in The Age last Monday. “The way it was done was rude,” he said. “It was a pretty blunt, discourteous and frustrating way to have a half-century of editorial cartooning at The Age brought to an end.”
Leunig, who remains on the list of Australia’s 76 National Living Treasures, says that he has built “a reputation at The Age for being feral or a bit out of hand”. “But that’s the point of a cartoonist – not to be a wrecker, but also not to be too conventional or goodly,” he says. “My greatest dismay in all of this is the wretched state of cartooning and humour in The Age. It’s as if they want to destroy or subjugate cartooning.
“I do understand that a newspaper must be free to control its content and refuse to publish pieces as it reasonably sees fit. I have had cartoons censored during my 55 years of editorial cartooning and have always had the reasons for rejection explained to me by editors in intelligent, respectful ways. It is not rejection that bothers me. It’s the wokeism and the humourlessness, which seem without courage, good spirit or creative imagination.”
He also believes his perspective has increasingly diverged with The Age over time: “I come from an earthy working class perspective and values system, but that perspective increasingly seems out of touch with The Age’s cosy, inner-city mindset these days. The paper’s motto is ‘Independent. Always.’ But is it truly independent?”
Leunig now claims that he has had 12 cartoons censored this year, “all about Covid and/or Dan Andrews, with next to no explanation”.
When Diary reached Alcorn on Sunday, she maintained she still viewed Leunig as “quite brilliant” and noted that his lifestyle cartoons would “continue to be published” in its Saturday Spectrum section. “I’m not surprised Michael is upset,” she said. “He’s entitled to be upset if he wants to be.”
Alcorn confirmed she had censored a number of cartoons by Leunig this year: “I have pulled multiple cartoons by Leunig, almost entirely on the grounds that they expressed an anti-vaccination sentiment. We don’t mind cartoonists challenging the readers. We encourage diversity of thought, but I had a concern with cartoons perceived as anti-vaccination.”
Interestingly, The Age is already in full swing on a concerted marketing push for Leunig’s flagship annual calendar — a well-known money-spinner for Nine papers — and other Leunig merchandise. But Leunig’s comments to Diary today could make for an interesting dynamic.

Tom, thanks for the toons. A great selection and, as always, Johannes hit the nail on the head.
I take it Gay Alcorn is stating here that Leunig can make fun of anyone except Dan and his junta. There’s an old Soviet joke in there that apparatchiks like Alcorn think nobody has heard before.
I don’t consider Leunig anti vaxx, just anti dictatorship.
I read Haigh’s piece to Mum yesterday morning, she thoroughly enjoyed it and it was a great pleasure to read out loud, despite stumbling over the pronunciation of ‘anathematizing’.
As calli said, a great reference point for non Melbourne experience sneerers.
hughesy on andrewsy
Leunig, once a darling of the Left, has been cancelled. Because he thinks for himself.
Leak hits the nail on the head – Gladys had to go. For once, ICAC did us all a favour. Anyone with half a brain knows Vic’s leash has been loosened slightly because of what’s happening in NSW. Shame it doesn’t work the same way elsewhere.
Rowe is on about something or other, maybe Net Zero, maybe not. His fetishes are too oblique for me.
good to see at least one liberal party MP protesting Victorian segregation along with the perennial favourite David Limbrick
One can only hope that Dan’s latest political stunt, which is only to prove that he isn’t merely a Dom Perrottet copy cat will get pulled in mid December because da science.
I’d like to see a legal challenge too.
It’s more than slightly calli, if you are among the vaxxed, after intimidating he’d maintain an international travel quarantine he capitulated on that very quickly.
That will no doubt give him increased capacity to ‘welcome’ international students.
I think this one fits Leunig’s predicament rather well.
If I have read it correctly, as of 1 December, you won’t need to provide medical details in NSW. Cross the border, and you do.
I think we should start preparing for a mass migration of sensible Victorians here. No one would blame them for fleeing Danistan.

My lawyer, Miguel Sanchez approves.
First they came for Bill Leak and now another woman has come for Leunig .How comforting to know that Alcorn of the Age is censoring what readers can read . If she thinks this is an anti vax. cartoon she is either lying to protect Andrews and his brutal police force or stupid.
Calli:
Perhaps, but I reckon he’s still firmly in the Leftist Camp. It’s just that he’s gotten a warning shot across the bows if he thinks he can test the temperature of the water outside the Gulag.

The cartoon never made it into the newspaper because The Age refused to publish it. But Leunig self-published on his own online site, earning angry criticism from #IStandWithDan supporters on social media.
How you know your government are totalitarian scumbags.
You wanna learn the first rule… you’d know if you ever spent a day in your life… You never open your mouth till you know what the shot is…
Leunig was right about the Iraq War being stupid and he’s right about the shocking levels of coercion being used now.
He’s to the right of everyone in Vic Parliament but the LDP.
Speaking of Victorians, I had to turn off MMM this year as fat oaf Lawerence Mooney referred to COVID as a *health crisis*.

And this one too:
Prince Charles Claims There Is a ‘Dangerously Narrow’ Window to Tackle Climate Change (24 Oct)
I think he probably said the same thing before each of the previous 25 summits.
And yep there’s still nothing much happening in the real world climate wise, except some slight cooling. Near term a second La Nina does seem to be kicking in to gear.
I’m all for diversity of thought that agrees with me. Take note you buggers.
When the jabbed die in the next 18 months to 4 years, this is what will be claimed killed them.

60% of us aren’t gonna die. Nor are 90% of the over 16 population.
Sorry everyone but on this Monday morning I’m furious, I am fuming at our so called “conservative parties” in this country. Cardi, if you’re reading this, pass the news on to the big beetroot, who’s proved to everyone time and time again that he’s all talk and no action. Let him know that at the next election he, his party and the Liberals are going to be borscht.
Here’s the bet, struth.
By Jan 1, 2026, Australia’s population will not decline by 40% of what it is now.
I have been generous and allowed for massive immigration and birth rates.

I’m happy to put any money on the table that I will either be alive or dead from something other than the shot over your allotted time slot We need to escrow. Make it meaningful or fuck off.
Also stop accusing those of us who’ve vaxed to be traitors. Go suck faulty’s cock on that one over at the furniture store, you clown.
By Christmas, in a few months from when, 3 years, 18 months to 4 years*.
Faulty quality predictions based on, what exactly?
*those that haven’t been executed for high treason
My prediction?
Eventually we’re all going to die (takes modest bow for faultless prediction)
“When the jabbed die in the next 18 months to 4 years, “
Rubbish Struth, I’m quite fond of you but this is nonsense.
Now look, I might die in the next four years but it most certainly will not be from the AZ jab.

It would be somewhat – ironical – if Fauci is destroyed, not by his lies about HIV/AIDS or by the whole Kung Flu/Gain of Function debacle, but by cruelty to dogs.
From the other thread, Behind Enemy Lines asked re suggestions for places to live. Corryong or the surrounding towns. Great climate, good rainfall, four seasons, great fishing. On a road to (sort of) nowhere so not too many tourists.
Yes, Nariel is nearby and an idyllic place.

Comment of the day.
Interesting prediction, doc. Name one figure on the alarmist side of the debate in the past 30 years who’s suffered severe reputational damage from making outlandish claims. I wouldn’t even say Flannery has suffered any fall out with his laughable drought forever prediction.
One name is fine.

The Seedy Moaning Haemorrhoid is running ads for itself that encapsulates it so perfectly.
The one I see most often is where they print the platitude “Speak like you are right. Listen like you are wrong.” It is not a tenet, it is not a principle, it is not a doctrine. It is a wrapper. It is a motto they attach to their product because the product cannot argue for it itself.
But in this case it is not just that the SMH that is trying to fool people with this bromide credo, but its readers are fooling themselves, letting them role play at being intellectual. It lets them feel open minded while they keep their minds closed and provides a retreat when they are in arguments – “I am not losing, the other guy is exasperating because he is so closed minded.”
Recite the open minded label and do the close minded thing.
3 mins into the second quarter, Tom Brady’s Buccaneers up 21 zip.
Adding slightly to the above:
Haemorrhoid fans read a homogeneity of opinion and news and feel they are immersed in debate. Yet they cannot bear even a heterodox cartoon.
Compare that to the right where we are constantly bombarded with leftist opinions in the ABC, the MSM, the universities and schools…
Who is the hardier then?
Things to look forward to in 2050…..
Net zero emissions – the elites will have access to power but the rest of us will be living with energy poverty.
Enforced veganism – the elites will have access to beef, lamb, chicken, pork, goat, eggs, cheese and so on but the rest of us will be living with food poverty.
Social credit system – the elites will have freedom of movement but the rest of us will be living with regular lockdowns and social credit monitoring.

SFW – About 5 years ago I drove from Tumut down to Corryong and back out to Albury and the freeway. It was late Sept and there was still heaps of snow on the main range. Corryong is astoundingly beautiful. Great place to retire to I reckon.
What, exactly, has Perrottet done? As far as I can see, he’s stuck PRECISELY to Gladys’ roadmap, with just a minimal tweak to school dates. He hasn’t brought anything forward. He will forever wear the odium of introducing apartheid to this country as it happened on his watch. He hasn’t even taken the extra step promised when 90%(?) of this sham was reached.
Before becoming premier he spoke highmindedly about equality and freedom but what has he actually done about it?
Speaking of partisan newspapers:
The NT News ran this ‘piece’ yesterday, apropos of the 2500 or people, of whom most were in family groups, that gathered in Darwin on Saturday afternoon:
There has been zero community transmission of ‘the beast’ whatsoever in the NT. None.
It wasn’t an editorial or op-ed. It was run as a news story.
The person responsible for this is Jason Walls. Recently, he was publicly squealing like a hipster trapped in a Bunnings in the same paper because he was asked questions by the local ICAC.
The exemptions granted during COVID were a test run for Net Zero.
Bezos is building a $US500mill boat.
Like Zuck’s boat, it will be so big it will have permanent support ship.
None of them are running on bio fuel.
Perrottet opened the international borders from 1 November, quarantine free for vaxxed but quarantine still required for unvaxxed. That’s a huge change.
NSW hasn’t reached 90% double vaxxed yet.
these were the changes announced on 6 October by #letitripdom
On the rural location question:
I’ve had Nariel in particular and the Corryong area in general on my list for many, many years. Sadly, it’s a very long way to the nearest Woollies (ie dentist / doctor / specialist / etc). So I had to pass up “the” property there in 2019/2020. It was at the end of a dead-end road off that road to nowhere, along the river. Cheap, too. Back when I thought I’d happily stay in Australia. Before the socialist uniparty stopped pretending and started dictating.
He hasn’t brought anything forward.
Agree, cheering on DP so far is like turkeys cheering thanksgiving.
But he did bring a couple of things forward a week.
When you’re in a cell getting violated, you tend to cheer on the violations being less frequent.
I’ll say this about Perrottet….at least he’s not regaling us with daily Covid Porn updates with Chant standing next to him.
Chatting to a bloke at the beach on the weekend-
Developed polyarthritis after first Pfizer jab.
His GP is flat-out trying to put it down to Ross River Virus, anything other that adverse jab, and trying to keep him on schedule for a repeat dose. Will not grant an exemption.
He’s a vet, gone into computing education, smart as they all are, knows about Hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin. Talked about aspirin, antihistamine, he was interested and not surprised. He;s now off excercise- he’s a big bloke- he’s had mental health faailures, and my wife reckons he might be a self-harm risk if you know what I mean.

Perhaps a Captain Obvious moment, but this seems to indicate a point of view was held by some numbnut that the AFP would be able to rock on into anywhere in Afghanistan it liked and offer goats in exchange for statements favourable to this excremental enquiry.

Duhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
Is the AZ mRNA? It’s the most traditional one among them isn’t it?
But, to play devil’s advocate (sorry Struth), did anyone actually die from AIDS? I don’t believe so. What AIDS did was suppress immune defence so any and all diseases could have free play and they killed people. Some quite serious medical experts believe something similar is at play here.
Too late.
On the rural property location:
One of my (so far) unstated preferences is nearness to trout water.
Upper Lachlan’s very nice in itself, but Goulburn is unspeakable. Now that they’ve put in a proper road to Oberon, it’s a bit of a spoiler too.
Quite like Jugiong and Canowindra. That whole patch of country is beautiful and friendly. Have now had several votes for that area.
Meanwhile, the other decision maker in this really, really wants out of Victoria.
Indolent has a good point, and worth making.
My thinking was less in terms of changes, although there have been a couple of small ones. Which will clearly mean a hell of a lot to some, especially school reopening.

Before I go and do stuff:
I distinctly remember Barnaby Joyce, just prior to his re-elevation to calfskin seating arrangements, having a short clip taken of him. He was purporting to be ‘back on the farm’, a bit sweaty, and exhorting the Government to ‘just leave him alone’ so he could get on with agriculture.
Now look at him. Just fucking look at him. Poncing about on the top rung, endless cash going into the coffers regardless of where or when he works now, and selling out the people who mistakenly bought his cheesy working farmer line.
Insider deals for crippling power costs for the same farmers supposed to be his base. Fuck you, Jack. No needles required for me or my family. Just yours.

There won’t be that many Calli. Remember so many of them voted for DanXiMan. The only ones that can afford to leave are the ones who have been working and that means most likely the unproductive. In most instances 80% ( a figure I discovered over the years to be as close to 100% as being perfect, the rest is pure luck) of the ones working from home are on the deficit side of the ledger. Just like the ones fleeing blue states in the US, they take their Demonrat politics with them. Anyone with a brain does’nt want that.

One thing that the Libs and the Nats have in common is the belief that surrendering to the left and its myriad zealots means they will leave you alone next time. Nonsense of course. Instead they know you can be forced and will return with renewed vigour next time.
In Australia the only party that escalates is the Greens. How is that for a bleak outlook.

COVID Madness Down Under Continues – Queensland Premier States Quarantine Camps are For Unvaccinated
October 24, 2021 | Sundance
With a population over 5 million, even at 90% (which they are a long way short of), they’re gonna need a MUCH bigger camp (or a lot more of them).
looks like the lnp in Victoria going in hard about vaccine passports for all of 2022, a lot more people than the unvaxxed will object to this constant intrusion
I suppose when Morro disembarks on his return to Australia he will be holding up a page of A4 and triumphantly trumpeting, “Here is the paper…”
tanya says lnp policy isn’t something something
seems Barnaby can please none of the people none of the time
You mean like Paul Erlich, Al Gore, Bob Brown, Tim Flannery … Being wrong is of absolutely no consequence.
He will be the end of the monarchy but not for that reason.
Including polling stations in Nov 2022?
So Gay Alcorn decided her supposedly sophisticated readers can’t be expected
to deal with nuance or complexity.
Something you’d expect from the consumers of another Nine Entertainment Co. product
who prefer their news in ninety second chunks at 3 words per second.
No wonder the three word slogan is now king.

When they refer to nuance they are not speaking of delicate shades of meaning, but the sophistry or fabrications that allow them to escape inevitable but undesirable outcomes of their own logic. They pretend they can ‘see’ a difference which makes all the difference.
We are definitely thinking about it. The rumor our girls brought back from school last week that from 5th of November you’ll only be able to attend if you’re jabbed.
Not long before the get to kids under 12.
It is a curious paradox of modern politics that leaders are felled not by their most heinous crimes but by trivia. For example, that creep Governor Cuomo who killed thousands of oldsters by forcing them to stay in institutions with raging COVID (among other appalling acts) was brought down because he got handsy with women.
A NSW Premier perished because of a bottle of wine.
I suspect Fauci is gorn, because cute puppies, never mind what he did to people.
Apart from the sheer cruelty of the beagle ‘experiments’, what I can’t understand is what hypothesis they were supposed to be testing. I’ve read several stories from the US about it, but that question is never even raised in the fog of indignation.
Fauxfacts might yet kill Channel Costello. Although Channel 10 shows how hard it is to kill off a FTA channel.

If only someone had warned us that Bananaby was in it for the private school fees, fancy restaurants and his addiction to the kid leather seats in the back of C*2.
I think his father-in-law told us here what a straight up good bloke Beetrooter was.
Indolent, accept your fate and be done with it. Professor Struth says you’ll be dead in 18 months anyway. Enjoy the sunshine and don’t leave anything to the kids. Charter a private jet to a beach resort and spend it all before time’s up.
You sold us out Barnaby, you treacherous gutless POS coward.
I hope it was worth it.
I just accidently reported one of Tom’s cartoons. Sorry Tom.
While guns are ion the news, here’s an important question that needs answering.

Neil Oliver: ‘Hey Government, we are not stupid’
Where’s struth?
Gone to audit his safe as well, to see if he can back his side of the bet?
He reckoned 90% of the jabbed will be dead in 18 to 48 months.
I reckon we won’t lose 40% of our population for any reason.
Roughly 10k AUD of pre mid WWII sterling silver Australian minted shilling coins are up for grabs. (Five hundred of the little beauties).

Must be the ram design used from 1938 until decimalisation and MUST be sterling silver, not 50% as used after mid 1943.
It is why they can claim to champion free speech, for example, and yet demand certain opinions may not be spoken. They can discern that some speech is not included in ‘free’ – because some speech might discourage others from speaking, so it is like ‘anti-speech’ and ought to be suppressed.
And how does it discourage free speech? Well, someone doesn’t want to hear it. It makes them uncomfortable. So open debate demands speech be policed.
Nuanced, huh?
I would also note that I suspect they would not have embraced the word if they had not also imported the French pronunciation. If it was ‘new-ants’ they would be snuffling about like a pig among foliage looking for a word that sounded exotic. Because great thinkers of past ages have turned out to be what they call problematic they have lost access to some pithy and sayings and stylish ways of speaking, so putting on an accent is as close to mimicking erudition as they can get. But, by God, they think they are the bees knees (or ‘bez naise’)
Corryong is a beautiful place. I reckon I’ve been past that place along the Nariel valley that BEL mentioned was for sale.
I know of a little valley with permanently flowing streams, plenty of flat, open meadow, timber all around and deer and kangaroos everywhere.
If I was alone in the world, I’d move myself in there when civilisation collapses.
Classic lefty “apology”, I’m sorry that you choose to be upset.

Found a “health” section that says don’t use home remedies on warts (some of which work better than what doctors can use), but you can use sugar to heal wounds.

Was going to re-read the book before watching the flic and I’m glad I decided to hit play.
Trying to expel memories of Kyle MacLachlan and Sting took a bit, though.

It’s about a decade since the Age announced an editorial policy of not printing any stories that might undermine the consensus for “climate action”.
That is, they’d decided what their readers should believe* and were going to make damn sure that no alternative viewpoint reached them, at least not through the Age anyway.
Good to see they’re being consistent.
*I first typed “…what their readers should think…”, then realised my error.
Leave the kid alone. He’s busy shorting bank and real estate stocks. With 80% of the population dead in 18 months he’ll collect billions as the economy collapses.
Whatever happened to his starvation prediction anyways. I haven’t noticed any emaciated folks walking around for lack of food. I’ll call them Struth’s anorexics.
I’m about two thirds of the way through my re-read at the moment.
Thanks for the link.
Sweet Baby Cheeses.
The Dapto Dog Caller is using his medical expert’s direct extrapolation of the UK’s per capita ChiComPox mortality rate to declare there would’ve been 51k dead ‘strayans if we’d “taken off the handbrake” like the Poms did.
Our GP mentioned that she was told off for reporting “too many” jabs’ adverse reactions.

Bear – He’ll be the end of the monarchy for precisely that reason. The supporters of the monarchy tend to be righties, who detest climate rubbish. So once he starts oozing green goo all over Buckingham Palace they’ll cheerfully vote for him and Green Willy to piss off.

Isn’t it funny how the Elite, you know specially the ones with access to virtually unlimited amount of other peoples money can say the most stupid things. Must be due to no repercussions, the money still flows. On Flannery, never knew who he was when he got AoY. I heard on the news a water guy had been made AoY. I thought it was Peter Stewart, the guy who did Gerry Harvey’s (spit) farm. Saw a program about how he regreened the farm with the same water coming into the property from the river as went out. The problems he had with NSW govt. but finally winning, only because GH had pull with the pollies. It was the only farm in the area that was not a dust bowl. Stupid me, I thought that was worthy of AoY as an example of real beneficial application to be used in so many places throughout Australia. I came here in 1979 and in all that time I can’t come up with 10 recipients that I thought were deserving, but that’s just me.
My comment was a response to Cassie, whose comment was a response to Struth. Personally, I part of the great unclean, not fit to associate with those greater, observant beings.
