These wakkas ought to listen to the political class talk among ’emselves, sometime.
The phrase “throw money at”* is far from uncommon, & means everything from writing a cheque to the stationery shop for paper clips, through to $1 Billion to build a new Sydney Harbour Bridge or something.
*full phrase actually is: “throw other people’s money at”
He he, find a libertarian and find someone who wouldn’t know how their freedoms came about if you spelled it out for them.
See, freedom is the natural state of man, it must be, and just charging a fee to come into Aus would stop all the immigration problems……FRMD.
This is literally the mind or lack thereof, of the Libertarian.
According to the hopelessly outraged dot who now goes to lies instead of admitting his hippy politics is complete bullshit.
I said local councils calling themselves government, a level of government is unconstitutional.
Which it most certainly is.
Sorry air head, but the rule of law matters.
Not, apparently in loony libertarianville.
I have never said anything like that….complete fabrication from the desperate and angry.
Probably less than that.
Once you next catch a cold.
Bye.
If not, they’re going to keep jabbing you until you’ve had more pricks than Miley Cyrus, and so when you show your Nazi pass to leave this shit hole, the Aus gov will let you, so they don’t have to cremate you here, as it fucks up net zero………….

Go fuck yourself, as ScoMo should say to Macron, who is upbraiding him to rid Australia of coal.

If only ScoMo had listened to me on The Oz about Glasgow.
Don’t go, ScoMo, don’t go, sed I loud and often.

Perhaps Andrews has ambitions of taking Albo’s job and NewsCorp are clearing the way for Kevin22.
Scomo said the opposite, alas.
Their ABC just now reporting on a meeting between Slomo & Macron, noting that Slomo did not actually yet give “a date on which Australia will cease coal mining & use of coal products….”

It does sound as though there’s a sweet logic to it, Struth. When you put it that way ….

Gladys performing underwhelmingly on the witness stand at ICAC.
The prick interrogating her needs a punch on the nose for arseholery.
it’s frustrating to watch. She’s allowing each line of questioning to drag out, emphasizing the interrogator’s point.
Concise answers would (a) shut him up (b) give a clearer, & for her more exculpatory, end to each question.
The line is from Their ABC, about 10 mins ago, mon ami.
They don’t bother with trivial stuff like reporting what insignificant figures (eg a Liberal party PM) say, they’re reporting their own spin of the meeting.

On This Day in 312AD, Roman emperor Maxentius drowned. Let’s see if this sounds familiar:
In the face of considerable and growing opposition, he had a crack at military success during the Battle of Milvian Bridge. He failed, fell off said bridge during the retreat and drowned.
His body was fished out of the Tiber the following day and beheaded.
Or nearly childless.

The Spec has another article on the Cop26 bullshit; again though the author while ripping into scomo and that fat turd boris, accepts the science of anthropogenic global warming (AGW). The science of AGW is complete crap, unmitigated science fantasy, capable of being ridiculed on so many basis. In another outstanding comment on the Spec article by me I attack this science on one basis which is so easy to understand even members of the media could grasp it; well some of them anyway; here it is before it gets taken down as often happens to my great comments:
The science is elementary, so simple even alarmists and media idiots can understand it. CO2 is plant food, it’s effect on planetary climate is minor. But first and foremost the vast bulk of the CO2 increase is NATURAL. Natural; the IPCC settled this in 2007 in its report AR4, Figure 7.3:
https://archive.ipcc.ch/pub…
This clearly shows the human contribution. The total movement of CO2 from both natural and anthropogenic sources to the atmosphere is 218.2 gigatonnes [Gt]; of that the human component is 8Gt; so humans contribute 3.67% of the annual atmospheric movement. That’s it folks. Of that 218.2Gt going up to the atmosphere 98.5% is returned to the ocean and land as shown by the official US Department of Energy [DoE] figures (it should be noted these figures have disappeared from the official sites). This means the atmosphere has an annual increase in accumulated CO2 of about 1.5% of the annual flux of 218.2Gt. if the total CO2 is increasing by about 1.5% of the annual flux of 218.2Gt then as the human CO2 proportion of that 218.2Gt is 3.67% the human contribution to the increase per year must be no more than 1.5/100 X 3.67/100 =0.000552%.

Er… the meeting just happened, in Rome.
Apparently Slomo dropped in there on his way to the Glasgow wankfest. Macron was there on some other deal, & they had a ‘meeting’
Apparently after Macron had a bitch about Australia being a snake-in-the-grass over submarines, they got onto mutual fondling of each other over net zero & the like.
In which Slomo put on the knee-pads & lubed up, while Macron played the role of the horse that has two feet on the ground.
Their ABC was reporting that part of the meeting. In which many things were said, Their ABC just wasn’t sure if Slomo had given an actual date when coal mining would cease.

Good news is the council already sent the tree guys and we now only have a sump left from the street tree. Bad news is they would not take the one lousy limb (denuded of all foliage) from me while they were here. Lousy lot…

I was supposed to go back tonight, but I’m not risking another shift to try and save lowlifes from their own stupidity. I actually feel a bit guilty that I couldn’t react in time, or even get a retaliatory punch in myself. But that would have put me in the wrong.
In twenty years on the job, I’d never seen anyone commit violence like that without any warning either verbal or physical. I’m so glad he came up with a fist instead of a knife.

Colin Hay – Freedom Calling
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qT7NBUdqUUo
If you hear a voice call out your name
Saying you can stop yourself from falling
And if he strikes you in his fear and shame
You can leave him to his ruin
If your dreams they wake you in the night
And your heart it is a pounding
If you cry out as you wake in your fright
And the wind it is a howling
Maybe it’s time to find another place
Where nobody even knows your face
There is no need to be afraid
For it’s only freedom calling
If your tears begin to overflow
As you walk against the undertow
There is no need to be afraid
For it’s only freedom calling
If you’re sad cos you’re all alone
And your hands they are a shaking
And your miracle cure’s not working anymore
And the flood bank’s close to breaking
Suddenly you’re on an open unknown road
Passing all the heavy, long wide loads
It is time to make your great escape
And you can hear your freedom calling
I want to dive into the sea of love
But my knees they are a quaking
I can see myself high up above
And there’s no time left for faking
I no longer need to understand
What it is to truly be a man
When I gave up on my masterplan
Did I then hear freedom calling
Did I then hear freedom calling
Tom:
Is there a list of the treasonous swine who sided with Dan on this?
He’ll fel right at home there.
Apparently Glasgow has a rat plague.
I wonder if there is a connection between the death and decay of English as a subject and a discipline and the impoverished state of productions on TV and in film.
According to the Sibylline oracles of Bridgepoint there is to be a new series called Spreadsheet, which apparently promises lurid tales of sex in the suburbs.
Another ‘reality’ show I gather. Is there really no one who can write a script in this country? No one who can pen a comedy, who can spin and weave a drama, who can secrete clues in a mystery, or engage curiosity in a documentary?
Just these tacky stringing together of preposterous personalities and contrived situations at which the viewers can sneer, smug that they are better than that. And that sense of superiority and self-satisfaction is all they get. Apparently it is enough.
I’ve posted today’s open letter by baker’s dozen QCs opposing Dan’s pandemic bill.
Sorry to hear that eddy.
My view is most drugs should be legal.
But tax payers should not have to foot the bill for the decisions drug users take.
More importantly, public servants should not be put in harms way dealing with the consequences of someone’s personal decision to take drugs.
Someone should ask Dom what precise threat the unvaccinated pose to the vaccinated that they need to be kept separated out.
Perhaps a journ…ah, forget it.
Well no more than once.

To be clear: Their ABC were not upbraiding Slomo, or saying he was avoiding giving a date when coal mining would cease…

Today in stereotyping:-
“Queenssslanders are, without exception … “
Bonus points for use of the words ‘pineapple’, ‘peanut’, ‘backward’, ‘redneck’ and ‘dullard’.
Queenssslanders are undoubtedly responsible for Peanut Head getting the pineapple in the 2019 election, thus putting his PM ambitions backward, while dullard ABC/Fairfax types who regard the average Queenssslander as a redneck are rejoicing that Dan’s leg irons and collar chains are keeping them “safe”.
Do I get a perfect score?
Dunno what your broader organisation’s point of view on this sort of stuff is Eddystone. I suspect, however, that not giving a fuck would rank highly in their priorities.
For every fallen nanna or kiddie with a broken leg after coming off a bike there would no doubt be ten fucked-up junkies, busted up drunks and dickheads needing your assistance right this second when they’d taken years getting themselves to the point where someone else is compelled to help them.
The entourages of people at scenes providing free advice would be enraging.
That’s aside from the nano-wriggler-related calls from people politely referred to as ‘non-swimmers’.

All explained here for Richard 111, as well as the osteology, carbon dating, and other means of ID. When you look at that lantern jaw in his portrait and at the skull, you’d claim it was Richard immediately – as well as the known spinal deformity.

He’d taken five days worth of his anti-psychotic meds. He actually seemed quite calm up until he lashed out. In the old days we would have left him home with his mother to sleep it off.
Not as brutal as Daniel Andrews now is.
Dan is a Nobel Peace Prize grade totalitarian maniac.
A much richer target here in Victoria.
Come Friday (ostensibly 80% vaxxed), the unvaxxed will be given certain freedoms. Come the 24th Nov, when (ostensibly) 90% of the population (including 12+) are vaxxed, those very same unvaxxed will have their freedoms wound back in again. If it ok to be (relatively) free now, what actually changes on the 24th. Arguably, and if the narrative is to be believed, the state is in it’s best ever position in terms of protection of the healthcare system.
How anyone could see this as anything but punitive action (certainly not health), is beyond belief. I’d like to see Dan or Sutton explain the health rationale. Better still, I’d like to see either explain it in court, and how it in anyway abides with the guiding principles of the Public Health and Wellbeing Act 2008. That they’ve been able to plan this inexplicable flip-flop arrangement, a month in advance, speaks ample.
Even if a journalist were to take it on, I’m not sure it would make a great deal of difference. When a majority of the populace support such punitive action, and are screaming; “Fuck yeah, give it to them harder”, what would it matter? Solzhenitsyn recognised this:
“ What conceivable ways has the prisoner of resisting the regime to which he is subjected? Obviously, they are:
Protest
Hunger Strike
Escape
Mutiny
So, then, it is obvious to anybody, as the Great Deceased liked to say (and if it isn’t, we’ll ram it into him), that if the first two have some force (and if the jailers fear them), it is only because of public opinion! Without that behind us we can protest and fast as much as we like, and they will laugh in our faces!
It is a very dramatic way of obtaining your demands – standing before the prison authorities and tearing open your shirt, as Dzerzhinsky did. But only where public opinion exists. Without it-you’ll be gagged with the tatters, and pay for a government issue shirt into the bargain!”

Conservatives/ Libertarians not voting LNP has to have purpose beyond expressing dissatisfaction. It has to remind the LNP that they are cactus without their base and that the base is quite happy to vote for a minor centre-right, right, conservative parties if they are principled and organized even if it means consecutive ALP governments in the short-medium term ( so at least two elections were you don’t vote LNP unless you actually have a very good MP in your electorate) with minor parties potentially enjoying the balance of power in the Senate. The point of keeping those few in Parliament while denuding the Leftist MPs in the LNP is to shift the Overton Window in the LNP in a rightwards direction again, as I would hope the emergence of strong right minor parties would too. If they don’t take the hint, the base that decamped will not return and we’ll be left with substantive minor conservative and libertarian parties that ought to aggressively target right-wing seats that it hasn’t already won, and bit by bit salting the political terrain for the LNP.

Mathias Cormann calls for carbon pricing to be coordinated across the world
Former finance minister Mathias Cormann, who once declared carbon taxes a “very expensive hoax”, is using his role as the head of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) to encourage countries to adopt more “stringent” carbon prices.
Mr Cormann, who quit the Australian parliament last year after serving as finance minister for seven years in the Abbott, Turnbull and Morrison governments, urged G20 leaders to better align their efforts to reach net zero by 2050.
“G20 economies are lifting their ambition and efforts, including through the explicit and implicit pricing of carbon emissions,” Mr Cormann said in a statement.
“However, progress remains uneven across countries and sectors and is not well enough coordinated globally.”

How its going now…
Angela Rayner has spoken of facing “terrifying” abuse against her family and apologised for having previously called Tories scum, as a man was sentenced for telling her to “watch your back and your kids”.
Rayner, the deputy Labour leader, issued a statement about the abuse she had received in recent weeks, saying the threats “had a devastating impact” on her, her children and others close to her.
Now for those who prize civility in politics, who thinks she would have backed down without a certain level of abuse and threats against her?

Dylan Voller’s legacy lives on:
STAFF at the Don Dale Youth Detention Centre fear someone could be killed amid an escalation in violence that is seeing an officer assaulted almost every second day.
Data obtained by the NT News shows there were 29 assaults against officers between August 22 and October 23, including 11 that resulted in injury.
A leaked email sent by a youth justice officer to senior managers has asked for urgent action to ensure staff safety.
“How much longer before an officer gets killed?” the email says. “We need change and we need it now.
“I have previously worked in Israel where I had Syria and Lebanon firing missiles towards my location, (I was) attacked at knifepoint in Africa and I felt safer than working at (Don Dale).”
Youth justice and emergency management general manager Matthew Varley said the staff did a great job under tough conditions and management was working to address their concerns.
“Just last night I was out meeting with staff at our Don Dale Detention Centre, working with them to listen to the pressures that they’re under, but also to look at how we can make the staffing environment as safe as possible,” he said.
The government overhauled operations in 2018 after recommendations from the Royal Commission into the Protection and Detention of Children.
It has moved youth justice out of the Corrections Department, banned the use of restraints and limited the ability of staff to isolate misbehaving detainees.
CLP Territory Families spokesman Josh Burgoyne called for youth justice to be returned to Corrections, saying the assaults were unacceptable. “When you compound that with the fact that they’re being given fluid suits and stab vests, obviously the working conditions for those people in there must be extremely difficult,” he said.
But Territory Families Minister Kate Worden rejected accusations the changes had made conditions less safe for staff. “If we want one thing it’s we want these young people to see that this is an opportunity to turn their lives around,” she said.
Ms Worden said the government had recruited 56 new staff this year and Don Dale had the highest staff-to-detainee ratios in the country.
“It is not a workplace that doesn’t carry some risk, we are critically aware of that risk and we address that through staff training and procedures,” she said.
A new youth justice centre to replace Don Dale is expected to be ready by the end of next year.

If enough of us pooled our super, we could buy a big ship, arm it, and go pirating.
There would be enough expertise on the Cat to navigate, sail and maintain the ship, with YouTube available to fill in any minor gaps in our knowledge.

Crown has been put through the wringer in NSW, Victoria & now WA.
It’s all a show with a pre-determined outcome.
How do we know?
Because Crown/Packer hasn’t unloaded on all the former politicians that are on the Crown payroll.
Also, he hasn’t raised the question that if all these high rollers were such horrible people, why did Bishop & Dutton approved hundreds of special visas via an express route?
Dylan Voller is a bit of an overachiever.
If he put as much energy into succeeding conventionally as he does in being obnoxious he’d be AOTY.

“Hasn’t it popped up on FB” .. knowing she is a 50x a day FBer .. “Oh no! .. my lot doesn’t get into that stuff” …

I really think Victorians should not be criticising any other state right now.
People are ESCAPING to SA from Victoria.
(not that any of that will help them in the long run)
Look, I expect to be put into a gulag in Toowoomba or somewhere here in QLD, but for the moment I’m still doing gigs, have never QR coded in anywhere, never wore a mask, never taken the jab, and went out to dinner last night to a Restaurant on the Hervey Bay Esplanade with others doing exactly the same as me.
You know, a place full of hicks…..QLD.
I know it will be tried on here as well, and most likely soon, however, right now I think Victorians dissing other states shows that level of denialism and parochialism, that got them into this mess.
While we were disgusted with Dan, they were screaming…your state’s no better…..Parochial to the point of Denial so great, they could not admit what was happening and they still sit and dis SA today.
Good lord parochialism is a problem in Australia.

So, the Premier’s phone was being secretly tapped.
By whom?
Why?
The ICAC.
They have that power.
Funny how they never tapped KK’s phone when the Lend Lease/Barangaroo deal was being done.”
Correct…and this folks sums up the stupid effing Liberals to a tee. It was the Liberals under Nick Greiner that created this monster called ICAC, now completely colonised and politicised by the left, a monster that stood by and did almost nothing during the sixteen years of corrupt Labor governance here in NSW. Yet this monster has now claimed Liberal premiers, Greiner, O’Farrell and now Gladys. In 2011 the Liberals were elected. You might ask what they’ve done to remedy the situation with ICAC and to rein in some of ICAC’s draconian powers? Nothing, absolutely nothing, despite pleadings from many. Meanwhile, of course, the likes of KK slither on merrily.
You reap what you sow, which is now perhaps the Liberals only talent, fertilising the seeds of their own destruction.

Europe is currently going through a phase analogous to the ‘3rd generation’. They are Lachlan Murdoch and James Packer.
The earlier ‘generations’ built the place up and made it great. Perhaps in some ways a little rude and uncouth, not as polished, nor possessing the precise but barren manners that this generation finds so admirable in themselves.
Europe used to be driven by a spirit where if something could be imagined they would try it, if it was possible they would do it.
That spirit is gone. Devoured by self-doubt after the one-two of the world wars.
The third generation looks at their forebears with contempt. While entitled to their inheritance they overflow with disdain for those that gave it to them. They would never carve out empires, explore new unknown realms, shape or transform the world. Oh they have no doubt they could do it if they wanted to, but they won’t because they all agree it would be not nice. Re-casting their impotence as a virtue.
The Europeans, bowing to Russia and kowtowing to China, still like to pretend they are masters of their own destiny and the exemplars from whom others take their cue.
They are weird beasts.
More than once they have been apprehended near our place, a good 500 metres from their home.

Strictly speaking it was the independents in parliament reneging on their agreement to not support a motion of no confidence.

https://www.dictionary.com/browse/internal-exile
a state of comparative isolation imposed upon certain political dissidents within the former Soviet Union, in which the subject was forced to live in a remote and often unfamiliar place and in which freedom of movement and personal contact with family, friends, and associates were severely restricted.
This one goes into a lot more detail.
https://memorial.krsk.ru/eng/Exile/01.htm
In fact, there were more than 30 different categories of internal exile in the USSR during the 1930s to 1950s, and each of them had its own instructions with regard to specific methods applied during the exile, the way the exiled was kept under surveillance, etc.

“The cantaloupe is dead. The cantaloupe is dead.”
I am quite sure Victorians know full well the extent of Andrews’ mess. They’re living in it – which is why any bagging of ‘other states’ (read Queensland) was merely a bit of return fire for a) leading from the couch, and then b) a bit of comedy value when Pallashay turned out to be just as bad.
Which Queenslanders then loudly complained about.
And no keelhauling on the pirate ship.
Keelhauling was never an official punishment of the RN or the RAN.
Although would have been fun.
Keelhauling, taking its name from the Dutch “Kielhalen meaning “to drag along the keel”, was a torturous punishment inflicted upon sailors whilst at sea. The sailor would be tied to a rope that encircled the underside of the ship, whereupon, being thrown overboard, they would be dragged underneath the ship and along the keel to emerge on the other side. Due to the physical harm suffered as a result of keelhauling, with the hull of a ship covered in barnacles, the victim would suffer immense lacerations resulting in major infections and cuts likely leading to their eventual death.

Australian Adult Entertainment Industry spokesman William Albon said numbers were down by about 2000 because of the pandemic.
Many had gone overseas and not returned while others had switched to the illegal sector.
Given that flogging and hanging from the yardarm are still legal in both Navies, I thought that keelhauling would be right up there..
I meant pirating as in getting a boat to go and pinch stuff for fun and profit, while answering only to our own code.

I think Solzhenitsyn wrote about some GULAG inmates who actually lived long enough to finish their sentence, but were still barred from returning to their homes because of the exile imposed on them.
Some simply hung around the camps begging for food as there was nowhere else to go. They weren’t welcome in local towns and couldn’t get work, but couldn’t leave either.
Now I feel really, really guilty.
Just got back from a trip into Canberra to catch up with a friend, I can go to the shops, cafes and restaurants there despite being unclean. A few observations – the lockdown has devastated the hospitality industry, there were five cafes and restaurants permanently closed on one block alone. The outdoor mask mandate has ended today but most people still had them on outside, my friend and I were the only ones sans masque on the street. Businesses have the QR check in at the door but are not checking you’ve signed in, however most people are whipping the phone out.
I hope Struth appreciates you looking out for him, Knuckles.

Another important petition- asking the Victorian Governor General Linda Dessau to dissolve parliament.
126K signatures now.
We are calling on the Governor of Victoria, Linda Dessau, to exercise her powers and dissolve the Parliament of Victoria and call a State Election.
The reason for this is Victorian Labor Government in undemocratic. The directions relevant to COVID 19 that it has implemented are unconstitutional and do not satisfy the requirements of representative government. None of the directions were passed through the houses of Parliament.
The Victorian government is now acting beyond power and everything that it does is unlawful.
If the Governor of Victoria believes in her role then she should act now and dissolve Parliament.

Only one month after a state ban on native forest harvesting was announced, West Australian furniture-makers are looking to imports to replace iconic native hardwoods.
WA Furniture Manufacturers’ Association president Michael D’Andrea uses jarrah in the frames of his Perth-made pieces.
He said jarrah timber prices had spiked 60 per cent since the state government revealed it would stop harvesting native species like jarrah, marri, and karri in West Australian forests from 2024.
He personally didn’t want to be the fall guy.

Why do tax payers fork out for forestry management if there is no management of forests.
As far as I am aware the Governor of Victoria couldn’t dissolve an ice cube. Andrews made sure her responsibilities were rearranged.
