Very little that I know of onshore. Some knowns deposits in central SA, quite a few oil shale deposits that never will be touched again in Queensland. Greens have all but ended oil exploration on the mainland and are still attempting it offshore the Otway basin, Great Aussie Bight and more recently off Newcastle. Last oil I know of being found was by accident, the site Geo and company man thought it was grease till one of the driller supervisors with oil background made the suggestion what it might be. Lab confirmed it.
The GBR is suspected to have some oil deposits, there is a known one up the Cape near Princess Charlotte Bay along with a low grade coal deposit onland. LOL good luck with that however.
As for the 4 middys a night, welcome to the new Puritism. As described above, all workers have to blow 0.00 each morning and are subject to random drug tests etc. Worse still Moranbah is the only regional airport that I know where you can’t get a beer in the terminal but once airborne… Apparently a BMA thing as they own the ground the airport is on.

The only way such things can be prevented are if the Red states put their foot down, and exert real rejection of the Biden usurpancy. Small move in that direction overnight:

If Abbott can take over Federal powers of border control and deportation then it becomes a smaller step to declare independence. I suspect that would be a very popular step. If he requested volunteers for a militia I suspect he’d get about 5 million guys appear on his doorstep, fully armed and accoutred. Adm. Levine would wet its panties.

Are there any estimates of potential reserves if Australia went full bore on exploration and exploitation?
Frankly, I am a bit over this shit.
I protested when they restricted my crew to mid-strength beer 10 years ago; they had to blow zeroes in the morning, why are the Company going so much further than required to achieve that? In their own time, adults should be responsible for their own actions.

We also need a US style ownership change…. of the ground below the surface. The States glom the royalties and the farmers receive crap in comparison. That should not only be reversed, it ought to be eliminated. The Greenscum get the farmers onside because of this revolting system.
Funny thing is Baba I just spent 30min looking for a report on. Plenty of enviro stuff around not so much as a cracker for exploration results. Personally IMO it is one of those too hard baskets, local Aboriginal Corp now owns the tenement and is against some formidable green forces that are already stirring.
As for the last I heard of this deposit there wasn’t much of it and like a lot of coal deposits wasn’t anything to write home about. That was from an old supervisor who had drilled all over Queensland. Anthracite is normally a good indicator but without a geological report telling me how much ash, sulphur and other nasties like phosphorus it has in it I’ll sit on the fence for now.

At least in NSW, some still had the rights. Until Nifty Nev expropriated the lot by legislation. The NSW Constitution says nothing about “just terms”, so the former owners got nothing.
What it seems to tell you, is that the minesites much prefer you to explode your heart on methamphetamine, wreck your braincase with chronic or otherwise go mad in your own time.
Back in the day (albeit waaaaaay back), companies encouraged their employees to form bands and institutes and social and athletic and hiking etc. clubs and so forth, and engage in their own enrichment and entertainment. In the modern era, you seem to be considered as much an expendable tool as the tools and equipment itself. And run on duty/rest cycles accordingly.

Some thoughts on Australian Muslims apparent defence of freedom:
Most Muslims are far more familiar with negative police interactions than the rest of the population. The rest of Australia are still learning that there is no shame in being arrested or copping a fine or copping a fine and then proceeding to ignore it.
Most Muslims are from a tight knit family or community, this means the have ready access to people that they can trust, particularly those that are physically useful. The rest of Australia mostly doesn’t have ready access to a large number of trusted associates, in fact they are probably experiencing the opposite, people they thought the could trust are turning out to be untrustworthy.
Muslims given their police experience and resources also consequently have the tactics to deal with police. Get harassed and a text will get you twenty able bodied and trusted men to your side in 10-20 minutes, which helps refresh police on exactly where they sit in the power structure. Other Australians in an equivalent situation will be relying on a very small group, if any, plus whoever else takes an interest.
Right now Muslims are interested in restoring our lost freedoms, which is great, however they are not doing this in defence of classic western freedom and liberty, the are doing this because the choke hold is so tight that they can’t even operate within their much more restrictive definition of freedom.

JC, not really my bag and I have only dipped into oil and gas with CSG which is a different creature. Most suspect there are undiscovered deposits in central Australia and there could be with all the gas and coal about in the Cooper and Arckeringa Basins. However also could be like the legend of Lassiters Gold. From what I have been told most of the known deposits aren’t easy to extract, like oil shales tightly held. The easy ones and best known are in the North West Shelf and Gippsland Basin but are well into their workable lives. We have some huge Oil shale reserves by the looks but miniscule crude reserves.
Dot I know where Ardlethan is, used to drive through it on Newell Hwy. I had to google you reference as I hadn’t head of it. Tin, NSW Lachlan Fold Belt seems to have a few of these deposits. Also I did hear about 10 years ago tin was meant to take off, to the point where I seriously considered investing some money myself. Glad I didn’t, seems the 7 countries above us with reserves bigger would probably produce it much cheaper. If demand outstrips supply due to the rush to batteries then maybe I’ll be interested again.

Anyone who’s tangled with the ATO would cheer this.
But realistically, nothing will change.
During my time as a tax practitioner I’ve seen the following measures implemented to improve the performance of the ATO:
The Tax Ombudsman’s office, to investigate complaints against the ATO, but whose decisions were not enforceable against the ATO;
The Taxpayers Charter, outlining what taxpayers have a right to expect from the ATO, the terms of which are not enforceable against the ATO;
The Inspector-General of Taxation, to investigate systemic problems with the tax system, whose recommendations are not enforceable against the ATO;
The Board of Taxation which was intended to supervise the ATO but which morphed into a more policy-oriented body, whose work is not enforceable against the ATO;
Merger of the Tax Ombudsman and Inspector-General’s office to have a more holistic body to make recommendations that are not enforceable against the ATO.
If there are still problems, then it would be good to work out what this new Bill of Rights will need that wasn’t present in the previous measures. Hmm, if only some common thread were discernable.

He has other issues with vaxes in the past and was told not to worry no one had a reaction to this one.
He also told them he was only getting it because he had to or would be out of work. That was apparently accepted as consent.
Then he had his reaction….
Oh and it was suggested he try a different vax rather than go for an exemption…

HOW TO OPPOSE THE NEW PANDEMIC BILL
SARC is the Scrutiny of Acts and Regulations Committee. They scrutinise every Bill and do a compatibility statement of human rights for each Bill that is introduced to Parliament.
Please send an email to: [email protected]
—————————————————————–
To Whom It May Concern
I, ___________object unreservedly, to the proposed PUBLIC HEALTH AND WELLBEING AMENDMENT (PANDEMIC MANAGEMENT) BILL 2021.
It is a massive over reach of powers by the Victorian Government, particularly as matters dealing with Biosecurity is solely the domain of the Commonwealth, as stated in the Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act, Chapter 1, Part V, 51 (ix).
Subsequently, it is the Biosecurity Act 2015 that governs Australia with regards to all things of a Biosecurity nature, including Human Biosecurity.
Only a delegation of powers by the Director of Biosecurity/Human Biosecurity to the States under the Biosecurity Act 2015, and an intergovernmental agreement, allows for the States to enact any legislation at a State level, and any such legislation can not exceed that of The Biosecurity Act 2015.
Therefore, the proposed Emergency Powers Bill 2021 is an attempt to take control with absolute and blatant disregard to the Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act as well the Biosecurity Act 2015.
The Public Health and Wellbeing Amendment (Pandemic Management) Bill 2021 can NOT be allowed to pass.
Yours sincerely,

A member of my family made a complaint to the Ombudsman against a senior officer of the A.T.O. Said A.T.O. dragged it all out for FOUR Years, and the Ombudsman eventually expressed themselves unable to decide either way, but, in the meantime a report had been produced that said that said ATO officer was way out of line and should never have acted in the way they did..
Dot in a nutshell form someone who has almost exclusively exploration driven. Excessive government interference, roll it back about 10-15 years and that’s what I would call a happy medium.
It starts at the first drilling programs, EIS’s have to be put together and full sample programs have to be carried out. These are time consuming and costly. I don’t necessarily object especially with the potential to contaminate groundwater but they can and have delayed projects I have been on. They used to be fairly straight forward but the reports seem to get longer and more complicated with more stakeholders and a mate who works as an Enviro agrees reckoning it is legislation/regulation driven. He spends most of his day interpreting regulations not supervising the field teams.
Julia Gillards Carbon Tax was a dogs breakfast, especially on calculating emissions. How do you determine the amount of methane that seeps from an open pit when the concentration varies from place to place and rates of escape due to porosity of the coal. We had 2 staff on it and even the one who had some science Public Service background couldn’t quantify what was exactly required. Yet the client was meant supply the Government reports detailing emissions from a pit. The diesel from machinery was the easy part! These are the sort of regulations we have to try and deal with and I’d hazard a guess on their way back with Net Zero.
Cultural Heritage is usually includes with EIS’s and fast becoming another hot potato especially in light of the Western Australia conflicts.

The protected attribute of ‘political belief or activity’ is unlikely to apply to a person who is opposed to vaccines being imposed by a private sector employer or service provider. This is because the requirement is being imposed by an organisation that doesn’t represent the government, and it would be difficult to argue that opposition to the private sector employer’s or organisation’s policy is something which bears on government
Mole, what about if a private company (BHP) said it was in line with government guidance? (And what about government issuing a vaccine mandate, which directs private employers to insist that workers get the jab? See the WA government health order and mandatory vaccination of the energy and mining sector).
The Australian reports (21/10/21) that the CFMEU has lodged a dispute in the Fair Work Commission against BHP for the mandating of Covid-19 vaccines for workers at the Mt Arthur open-cut coal mine in the Hunter Valley. The Union is claiming that the move was not a lawful and reasonable direction because N.S.W has not issued a public health order requiring mandatory vaccination and that workers were concerned that they would loose their job at Mt Arthur if they did not comply. The Union’s northern mining and N.S.W energy district president, Peter Jordan, accused BHP of taking a “heavy-handed and counter-productive” approach at Mt Arthur saying “An open-cut coalmine is not the same as a hospital or aged care facility. We are calling on BHP to take a reasonable approach and work with employees and contractors to achieve high rates of vaccination while maintaining the full range of Covid safety measures on site.
In The Australian, Edgar Basto, BHP Minerals Australia president, said that “the science is clear that widespread vaccination saves lives. In line with government guidance, we recognise the path forward is through widespread vaccination…and we are looking at a range of practical ways to support that…”
This OHS crap began months back and was repeated ad nausem by thickos like Tom Elliott, but it needs to be challenged in court. What is the actual OHS risk from having unvaxxed vs vaxxed at work? Why can’t they simply sign an indemnity agreement if they are unvaxxed? If it’s related to vaxxed, they are still likely to encounter active cases from vaxxed personnel/ customers over time since COVID is endemic, so it’s not clear what is achieved as a matter of OHS by denying a livelihood to the unvaxxed? If they won’t quantity the absolute risk they are simply making up excuses.

I’m keeping a close eye on any industrial action carried out by more militant unions such as the MUA. They generally don’t take too kindly to mandates imposed on them. I’d man the ramparts with those guys in a heartbeat over this issue. We need all of the allies we can get – and the more disciplined and reliable, the better.
Never forget that the most enthusiastic jab zealots are primarily the educated mid-witted chattering classes. Those people that fall over themselves to ‘follow the science’ – contemptible sheep. There’s far greater vaccine hesitancy amongst the working class, who generally don’t respond well to attempts at coercion.

On the way into the office this morning I saw two blokes on one of those stand up scooter things.
Packed in tight.
Both wearing masks (but no helmet).
Strange things indeed.

Two more sleeps until Bosi-ween.
Winston, that’s now the standard play at these meetings.
It would be funny if it wasn’t being forced upon children.
Iran to Return to Nuclear-Deal Talks in Vienna Next Month
Iran will return to nuclear talks before the end of November, its chief negotiator, Ali Bagheri, said, paving the way for the first talks since June on restoring the 2015 nuclear deal.
Iran: Remember us?
Biden Administration: Yes, we gave you a billion bucks with nothing in return a few years back.
Iran: Well even though the black dude isn’t here, the rest of you are & we kept the receipts.
Biden Administration: How much this time?

“There is a plan, should these people not want to be vaccinated, towards education and counseling to get people the information they need so that they are feeling comfortable in getting vaccinated,” Walensky declared.
Not much room for negotiation between the State and the Citizen here. Off to the re education camps for you!
Aaaaaany day now.
Bosi owns you.
Funny as fuck.
Bosi booster checks in.

You would think with so many ex military US movie producers would be spoiled for choice of quality armourers.
Niki Savva perfects the art of gas lighting in today’s smh.
Yeah, there’s a rich vein of comedy value once you get past the dickheadedness.
For his next court appearance over the phone, it is said by some that Bosi will expand into song:
Red shoes, red shoes
What you gonna do?
What you gonna do
When they come for you
Red shoes, red shoes
What you gonna do?
What you gonna do
When they step on youuuuuu
Huma (Hillary’s Huma) said she was sexually assaulted by a US senator.
Then doesn’t name him.
If you are going to release a book & use an allegation as the platform to promote it, you must name names.
Yesterday there was a headline about the federal government and removal of quarantine requirements for Australians travelling to several countries.
Had a look at smart traveller and it still said
Do not travel!
Seems like they updated last night.
smart traveller finally removes blanket do not travel warnings
Some might wish to ask themselves (remembering I’m no Bosi supporter) why they are so worked up about what one guy said to a magistrate.
Those behind the parapet dragging down the guy who is trying to take a shot at the enemy (without any help) are the reason we are in this mess.
Their reasoning of course, is that he’ll be seen as a fruit loop.
I understand that, because I’ve said that I don’t follow him because of that exact same reason.
However, that takes into consideration WHO will think he is a nutter.
And we see who those people are.
They’re here.
They vote.
And there’s many like them among pseudo-right wingers.
And they’re more concerned about being called whack jobs for following him by the left.
Which they always will be called whack jobs, whether they support him or not.
Can’t win either way.
We need more Bosi, less Frank in this world.
Bosi just doesn’t get how many Franks there are in this country.
He’s used to being surrounded by men of principle.
Hence my “real world” comments and that what he is doing is politically stupid.
Oh for a thousand Bosi-s , a million Franks could hide and sneer and take their jabs, and they’d be irrelevant.
He’s a man of far greater principle than the sneering couch potatoes here.
However, to win in this country, politically, you at least have to consider just how many of them there are on the right.
And Bosi is learning it the hard way.
Let’s hope blokes like him are still around when things gfet serious, as they come a knocking on your door.
He has every right to threaten reprisal, and every right to basically declare war, and sahouyld not be mocked for it.
It’s just that doing so with apathetic, compliant millions sneering at you and running away, isn’t the brightest idea for a political leader.
This is the woman who was and seemingly still is married to Anthony Weiner.
Blah blah blah.
I don’t know about others, but I am ridiculing & belittling a chicken hawk.
It’s fun to do.
Just like Faulty’s big websites & big dates came & went, the ridicule continued.
The same will happen for Bosi.
Normally one would say, put up or shut up.
But he won’t put up & while there are suckers out there, he is incentivised (Cup tip?) to not shut up.
And do cats remember Fair Work commissioner Lyndall Dean, who was a dissenting member in a case some few weeks ago. Well it turns out she now needs ‘re-education’ in the form of training and is to be excluded from full bench cases and anything to to with vaccination against the Covid.
From the Australian:
A Fair Work Commission deputy president who compared vaccine mandates to “medical apartheid” has been ordered to undergo training, excluded from full bench cases and told she would not be allowed to adjudicate workplace disputes about vaccination.
Fair Work president Iain Ross took the action against Lyndall Dean, who also said she would disqualify herself from hearing vaccination cases on the grounds of bias.
The revelations came hours after Senate estimates heard Ms Dean endorsed a social media post that likened Australia’s Covid response to “Chinese-style totalitarianism” and the Holocaust.
In a recent dissenting judgment, Ms Dean said blanket rules, such as mandating vaccinations for everyone across a whole profession or industry regardless of the actual risk, fail the tests of proportionality, necessity and reasonableness.
“All Australians should vigorously oppose the introduction of a system of medical apartheid and segregation in Australia.
“It is an abhorrent concept and is morally and ethically wrong, and the antithesis of our democratic way of life and everything we value,” she wrote.
Senates estimates heard on Wednesday that Ms Dean wrote she “fully” agreed with a LinkedIn post by soprano and entrepreneur Tania de Jong that the Western world had “faced many seasonal respiratory pandemics before but we have never responded by adopting all the trappings of totalitarianism fuelled by irrationality and fear”.
“We have imported far more from China than the virus – we have imported Chinese-style totalitarian social control mechanisms based upon very selective science,” Ms de Jong wrote.
In the comments sections, Ms Dean wrote: “I fully agree Tania.”
Wow. We really in the process of ‘wrong think’ and thought crimes where people must be ‘corrected’ for having unacceptable thoughts.
Read his party manifesto St. Ruth. Read his ‘despatch’. Actually read it.
If he’s looking to attract support, he’s either a) doing it badly wrong, or b) actively looking for fruitcakes who will elevate him to the Star Chamber.
He didn’t get to say any of this, of course, which is another reason I will take the piss out of him. I’m not applauding the beak for hanging up on him. I’m saying that if the bloke marketing himself as a potential leader of this country really expected a magistrate to sit and listen to that garbled communique and all its inferences, Bosi’s basic judgment is badly lacking.
I’m calling bullshit on this.
Just like the Cross Roads hotel was dragged into it last year (not all the rub & tugs in the area).
NSW Health released an alert yesterday afternoon for City Gym in Darlinghurst, saying more than a dozen people had either attended the venue while infectious or acquired their infection while there.
The place is a cock forest.
Yeah yeah I was at the gym, definitely not getting up to mischief.

Daily Mail. I think the ‘one in a million’ comment is inserted via autocorrect. I don’t know how many millions it could come to if anyone actually added them up.
Struth
Are you delivering those discount chairs today coming out of the store? You did well with those.
He gave six days to repent, which makes it Sunday – three days.
Oh boy…I’ve got some plans I need to change.

Yes.
Get those Derby Day bets on.

Think of our worst commenters and then multiply by however many hundreds or thousands you want. The sky is the limit .
Yeah, the ZH commenters are the most feral I’ve seen.
lol, you really don’t like zero hedge.
There are two. Is this the one below the cross word in the puzzle section?
If so I can’t get more than six. Who the fuck knows the winner of the Queensland woman’s basket trophy in 2008? Who cares? More importantly you’d want to know the name of the person who does and keep it in an offenders register.
Hmmm… could the Demonrats get rid of Kamala, put Joe Manchin in as VP then Section 25 Biden. Might restore a little sanity. Sinema for new VP.

Am I committing a political crime by asking?
John,
Simply write:
“I am looking forward to getting a Covid vaccination, and will do so as soon as reasonably practical whenever one is fully approved by the TGA.”
It’s polite, accurate, avoids being written off as anti-vax ,and has the benefit of potentially giving you an opportunity to highlight a relevant fact that they may not be aware of.
A perfect compact size red pill.
Good luck.
The one in the puzzle sections.
A few weeks back I got 1 out of 10.

I was unaware political parties and/or their names could be owned by companies.
Yes, yes, Big Oil, Big Pharma etc, but – a company can own their names?
Excellent point!
A huge untapped vein of voters (all worth $2.31 every time they tick a box on a ballot paper).
I think I will form Couch Potatoes Australia and register it as a political party.
Now, we need someone to write a grandiose but vague manifesto.
We’re couch potatoes, so plagiarism is fine.
