Mail out ballots in a country without compulsory voting is the biggest election rort imaginable.
And intended to be so, it allows ballot harvesting.
Nothing new in that
3. The job takes as long as it takes. Perth brass knob jockeys would have immediately thought ‘Madeleine McCann’ and screamed for A RESULT, as of an hour before they said it. If you fuck something up, best case is you allow a wormhole for the crook to get through months or years later. Acting alone? No? Motive? Psychological state (for court, later)?
4. They would have had a line on this bloke within 24 hours, I reckon, and had not only his phone but everyone he’s ever contacted through that phone in the last 12 months up in lights. Panzer’s right with the Bayley job some years back, though – although I will say Bayley was a likely for that job anyway.
5. Because it’s not CSI and all over in 45 minutes, this sort of thing requires actually speaking to people. A decent witness statement for a job like this can take six hours or more. Then you (apparently) make your enquiries on the strength of that and other statements, and when you find a discrepancy you go back and you go over it again with those people, and other people if necessary, and you watch them carefully while they’re doing it, and you use your instinct if you’re good enough.
They may well have had a statement taken off the crook early in the piece, before he firmed up as the crook.
There comes a time in every mans life when he has to reassess and ask
“ am I wrong, or am I Japanese submarine sinking the Sydney then machine gunning the survivors while carefully ensuring no tell tale battle damage is found 80 years later wrong”…
Well, no.
But using faults in a gypped-from-the-word-go submarine design as the excuse woulda been pretty novel in Canberra…
Groogs on international geopolitics gives Dr Keith Suter a run for his money. Could Groogs actually be the Cash Cow?
6. Parallel enquiries. While digging through garbage in Perth (ostensibly and publicly saying they were looking for a body, which is an excellent tactic if you want the crook watching the news back in Carnarvon to breathe a sigh of relief, perhaps to the point where he reckons buying nappies won’t be a problem) the jacks should have been firming him up.
7. Reasons. Namely, judgment calls of the detectives on the ground and running the job. I think they may well have known this girl was alive for a week or more, thanks to waaaay more than one informer. Once they’d seen him buying nappies and kiddie food, they may have slowed an extra day to make the job absolutely watertight.
Then, after you’ve been watching the joint for a week, you kick the door in at the time the crook is most likely to be either zedding out or passed out.
Easy peasy, Carnarvonesey. People take too much stock of TV shows, and never think of what lies ahead after a pinch. In this case there must have been enough to suggest the girl was relatively unharmed, and not likely to come to said harm so they nailed the job down before tapping the bloke.
Not a simple job, though. Small towns don’t like giving their secrets up.
Allegedly.
I am quite sure that the French people would be quite happy if we lined up our respective ‘intellectuals’ and the political leaders we didn’t want to keep at either end of a football pitch, armed them with 3-day-old baguettes or lightly worn-in Double Pluggers (as national taste would require), and let them go at each other until the last one is left standing.
The final survivor of whom is liberally smeared in Vegemite and left for the drop bears…
[Not A Death Threat- I value our beloved Drop Bears far too much for that…]
Duncanm, el gato malo is a great find, as is Eugyppius. I have to thank Matt Briggs for that. There is some amazing reading on the web. Just kills the legacy media.
Bayley was an abject failure of the so called Victorian Justice System.
A xunt like that who bashed women and was allowed out?
He is a political decision.
Nah, I still remember reading about the junkets surrounding the F111 – that was a fustercluck of epic proportions until the US figured them out. According to one of our WO instructors on my Regimental Officers course who went on a few there were even junkets about where rank insignia was to be worn on the new Auscam field uniforms.
Thanks for the insights re the Cleo Smith case, KD. Like most people, I assumed the police work was over when the arrest was made. Too much “48 H0urs” and “CSI”.
There was a hint that the kidnapper might be an indig when the Police Commissioner said in his press conference this morning telling the people of Carnarvon that “this was the actions of one man, and we all need to stand together”.
Usually code for “stand by for riots”, particularly given recent events involving police in nearby Geraldton.

Pedro, a bloke I am acquainted with swears by the adage that an arrest and/or confession is the start of an investigation, not the end – if for no other reason than if your confession, however righteously obtained, is blown out of the water by a court packed with dunderheads, then you have nothing.
You (apparently) must continue as though you never had the admissions in the first place. It’s the only way to get it right in the end.
Pure speculation here.
Hopefully the bloke who took the girl was a useless pisswreck who fuggled brain thought. “ I’ll grab the kid and get a ransom later on” and has spent the last 3 weeks shitting bricks looking for a way out.
I was wearing Aussie uniform and body armour and such; my people were wearing US gear. However I was their CO, and not in a symbolic way either.
We were 100% integrated into the US military in Vietnam. We were identified as USN EOD Mobile Unit Pacific Team 35 and RAN CDT-3. We replaced a USN EOD Team, carried out US operations, had a US radio callsign, wore Australian or US uniforms, carried US weapons, lived in a US Naval Support Facility in Da Nang, drove US vehicles and operated with US and Vietnamese military forces in all of i Corps….

No doubt the Plod on the ground did a good job.
But I think there might have been a bit of mayo put on the hinted stories about high tech tracking.
I am reminded of the very elaborate fiction provided to the Age about how Simon “It’s a Journal” Overland’s boys tracked down Tony Mokbel in Greece with their bwilliant deductive powers.
The truth was much simpler.
Nicola Gobbo lagged Tony Mokbel.
I think this one relied on informers too.
‘mole at 9:55.
Quite so.
I don’t think we are talking about a Bruce Reynolds* level criminal mastermind here.
.
* Great Train Robbery.
Of course it did. I think.
It is no secret that on certain jobs, the jacks will release certain things to the public to generate conversation in the right areas.
For example, and this should in no way relate to the Carnarvon job, but hypothetically – if the jacks were to say ‘there was CCTV footage of a white car’ then two things will happen:
1. Exactly what happened here. Discussion about where any CCTV footage would be, what quality it was, and all sorts of other rabbit holes; and
2. The actual crook, who remains firmly in the frame, thinks ‘they’re not looking for my little red car’ and relaxes a bit. Which is exactly what the jacks want.
Informers are like red headed chicks. Either 10/10 or 0/10, and you can never have enough of them.
All we can hope for is that the alleged kidnapper tells the magistrate, “You have no standing. Begone!”
Followed by a bit of bone-pointing and dire predictions for six days hence.
old bastard eh!
Easy up…
In my favour, I was the youngest CD to serve in CDT-3, Vietnam but is was over 50 years ago.
Oh.
The little red car.
It pops up behind the blue and white checked tape every time.
That may have been accidentally-on-purpose, Sancho.
For nostalgia’s sake.
Thanks Diogenes. I wasn’t sure exactly, which is why I asked about it.
Plod tells lies to the media to confuse crooks?
Is that fair?
Lol.. says the idiot who told us he wasn’t able to figure out his revenue in order to make a claim against government Covid giveback..
Dickhead, recall the blowharding about how it was impossible to figure out revenues from from betting sales/ commissions? We all do, which is why you need to completely STFU about pretty much everything except dusting the unused bar.
Sorry to harp back to the Virginia election… But came across something interesting. As the vote was passing through 70/80/90% McAuliffe was closing the gap and at one stage was less than 60K votes behind. At that point though, Youngkin moved out ahead again.
Well… apparently: Republicans held back reporting from their three most favourable counties Virginia Beach, Chesapeake and.Chesterfield. They dropped these (which explained the Youngkin increase) and the Dems (and networks) conceded.
This should be a tactic that may need to be looked at. Pass a law that all the votes drop simultaneously. No chance of then manufacturing deficit overcoming numbers.

Driller, your lying is becoming sociopath these days. You need to get seen to.
Led by EU and AUKUS dreamers, they destroy reliable energy from coal, oil, nuclear, gas and hydro while forcing us to subsidise net-negative dreams like solar, wind, wave-power, CCUS, hot rocks, pumped hydro and hydrogen.
All such speculative ventures should be funded by speculators, not taxpayers.
COP-Out-26 illustrates to the realists of China, Russia, India and Brazil that the West has lost its marbles and is in terminal decline.
For Scott Morrison to surrender Australia to these green wolves betrays an army of miners, farmers, truckies and workers in primary, secondary and tertiary industries that support him and his Canberra pack.
The fakery of COP-Out-26 is well illustrated by the provision of diesel generators to recharge the batteries of 26 electric cars provided for show in Glasgow. But that’s OK “because the diesels are run on recycled chip fat”.
Horses and covered wagons would be more reliable and appropriate and dried horse manure could cook their fake meat on their green, chip-fired barbeques.
Neither EU nor AUKUS green dreamers can run their world on energy plans drafted by neurotic school girls, clueless Princes, deluded accountants like Ross Garnaut or serial climate alarmists like David Attenborough.
China loves Net-Zero, using its growing coal power to manufacture the wind turbines, solar panels, electric engines and rare earth batteries for the Woke-World.
But the subsidy tap feeding green energy development in the Western world will run dry. Fake energy will fade away leaving a continent of jobless people with silent mills, refineries and factories.
Our land will be littered with derelict windmills, decaying solar panels, dead batteries and sagging transmission lines to be cleaned up in order to restore our land to productive grasslands, crops and forests.
Those huge concrete bases of abandoned wind towers will become permanent obstacles to restoration of this land.Next we will see digital carbon-credit cards designed by green academics to ration our energy and food usage to achieve their Net-Zero Nirvana.
A bleak future beckons.
Scott Morrison and his team should boycott this final futile COP-Out-26.
Barnaby Joyce should hang his head in shame – I know that he knows better.

McCaullife fumbled, in fact he may have been in league with Trump. Trump, Trump, Trump, God I love Orange Man Bad.
Youngkin is a religious bigot who will use the state to abduct women and steal their uteruses to implant religious Christian nutter seed The only religious bigotry in this election came from the left, with their sacred religious tenets of CRT and sinister transgender gunk….which helped Youngkin win because he dared to assert that parents have a right to know what their children are being taught in schools and that there might be something wrong with a school board’s policy which allows a boy to put on a dress, walk into a girl’s bathroom and rape a girl and then cover it up…whatever happened to “believe all women”?

They didn’t know she was black.
Or something.
How many cases of missing indigenous children are random abductions with depraved motivations and how many are custodial disputes where family members obstruct police investigations?
Inquiring minds would like to know before we go labelling a whole country racist.
KD, thanks for that operations overview last night. Very enlightening, but even while reading, my mind was shrieking, “If they have suspicions early on, why not storm the house immediately, rather than risk more injury to the child?”
This was very heartening:

I’m also encouraged by investigators’ liberal use of red herrings. Seems there’s as much psychology as footwork involved in a successful conviction.
On a side note, Virginia’s new Republican Attorney General Jason Miyares is a legal immigrant from Cuba, the first ever elected in the history of the State.
Oh, and Winsome Sears is a legal immigrant from Jamaica.
Demonstrating once again just how much Republicans hate immigrants.

“Broadcaster Alan Jones to depart to Sky News Australia
Broadcaster Alan Jones has announced on Thursday he is departing Sky News Australia.
The 80-year-old revealed in a lengthy statement released on his Facebook page that in a meeting last week with his employer he received an offer but it was one he did not wish to pursue.
His last show will be on Thursday which means his departure comes about three weeks before his contract was due to end at Sky at the end of this month.
In his statement Jones explained his departure and said: “Sky News have indicated to me that they will not renew my contract, which ends on November 30.”
“At a meeting on Friday, October 29 I wasn’t offered another slot with Sky News, but an alternative offer was made to me to appear once a week on the news streaming service, Flash,” he said.
“I declined that offer.”
He went on to explain that his ratings performances have been scrutinised, describing them as “an erratic beast”.
“When I arrived at Sky News and signed to a 17 month contract, it was made quite clear to me that the 8PM slot was, in the words of management, a “dead” spot,” Jones said.
He went on to explain his success on digital platforms including one US election post he did which reached 4.2 million people on Facebook and delivered 2.4 million video views.
Jones also noted another observation that said, “since the launch of Alan Jones on Sky News Australia, the network has seen major growth across its digital platforms”.

Alan Jones joined Sky News Australia as a host in 2013 of political discussion show Richo + Jones, alongside former ALP powerbroker Graham Richardson.
He went on to anchor Jones & Co in 2016 before hosting his own program, Alan Jones from 2020 which airs Mondays to Thursdays at 8pm.
Sky News Australia chief executive officer Paul Whittaker said he respected Jones’ decision to depart the network.
“Regrettably Alan has decided not to accept a new role that was offered to him for next year,” he said.
“We respect his decision and know he will be missed by many.
“Alan has contributed greatly to Sky News Australia over the years, advocating without fear or favour on the issues important to many Australians.”
In 2020 Jones departed Nine Entertainment’s Sydney radio station 2GB despite his $8m two-year contract not ending until June 30 this year.
Nine paid out his full contract at the time, even though he exited with another 13 months to run on his deal.
During his tenure at 2GB, Jones notched up a record-breaking 226 consecutive breakfast radio survey wins and his popular breakfast program also broadcast into Queensland on station 4BC.
In July Jones told The Australian he was considering his options given his Sky News contract was ending in November and she he would consider all offers received.
Mr Whittaker thanked Jones for his “commendable dedication and service” to Sky.
Cleo Smith suspect named as Terry Kelly (bloody Irish!).
The thump on the head was self-harm, not an attack by another prisoner.
Speculation here last night that it was an opportunistic ransom attempt, but he didn’t know how to carry it off.
It is just as likely he uttered those words many of us have on Sunday mornings when we were younger … “Where the fuck did you come from?”
Remove at risk indigenous kids from dysfunctional families/communities = racist intervention.
Leave them there = racist neglect.
And they wonder why people want to avoid the issue.
Just registered for a postal vote for the stupid local clowncil elections in NSW next month. None of the reasons for casting a postal vote included “I’m prevented from physically attending the polling vote due to being an unjabbed personage”. So I did the only logical thing and nominated “I am unable to attend due to religious reasons”.
What a joke.
To be honest, Jones is better suited to radio than TV.
Be interesting to see who replaces Jones in the 8:00pm “dead spot”. Various contenders have auditioned for the spot over the last six months or so.
No doubt Sky will pick the most lacklustre of them all, most likely that preposterous mediocre weathervane Chris Smith.
And Panzer, they will no doubt refuse to read out my rantings on whatever’s giving me the proverbials that week.
White Supremacy. What a load of bulltish.
Has it ever really existed? The most famously cited exponents, the Nazis, were not really. They believed a sub-group they called Aryans were ordained by nature to rule the world. Sure the Aryans were supposed to be white, but so to were a lot of the subject races. Slavs and Jews, for starters. They hated Black people as well, but did not devote much attention to them because there were so few in Europe. The Nazis were actually obsessing about the hierarchy within white races, not the status of white people over non-whites.
Who else? The Klan? Well once again they seemed to hate White people too. They loathed uppity Blacks. But they could tolerate deferential Blacks, but Jews and Catholics could never be tolerated. So they saw blacks as inferior, but other whites as malicious. In any event they will have seen white people as above black people, but not all White people were among the elect. Besides, let’s face it. The KKK was a scarcely articulated outburst in response to the Civil War, not a thread of history. It did not arise from a pedigree of white supremacy. Just discontented moronic peasantry who were convinced they should be lords, or fallen antebellum aristocracy who thought they should be kings.
An orgy of ego-wound licking.
Most of European history shows White people fighting, conquering, and subjecting other white people. And within nations they were more interested in the hierarchy of White people over other White people. The possibility of White Supremacy is only late. When some lowly tenant had been humiliated by his Lord of the Manor he did not tell himself, “At least I am better than a Black guy!” or look for some Asian to deflect blame to. Hell, ‘race’ was probably unknown to him. But he was sure the people a couple of villages over were lazy, dishonest skinflints who would borrow an ox and work it near to death.
It has only been in the last few hundred years when Black people were a race rather than a novelty. The great sin of slavery (where Europeans cashed in on the slave trade already in Africa but on a grander scale) was driven by economics. Not because black people were inferior, but because they were cheaper than white people. Without slaves they would move straight back to white people (and black – whoever was cheaper) just as they had profited from white people for centuries. And the contempt of the ruling elite was for anyone below them, regardless of colour. Economic supremacy.
But even if there were people motivated by a belief that all black people were inferior to all white people by default (not simply sharing lower rungs with them) then were they a movement? Were they the spirit of an age? I doubt it. From the get go White people were trying to convert Black people to their own faith and their own God. They believed that God wanted them to do that, that God saw them as his Children too. And from the beginning the main current of Europeans was to elevate black people toward equality, and save them from less scrupulous White people. Does that sound like White Supremacy?
It is all just so much bollocks.

When those ships were recommissioned, the armchair commandos were emphatic. The specialist skills, necessary to man those ships, had been lost forever. At the same time, the United States Navy received hundreds, if not thousands, of letters from veterans offering their services – including those who declared that, even if they were too old to go to sea, they could still train those who would…
Apparently financial institutions “give” fossil fuel companies money.
This is kindergarten economics.
Australian fossil fuel projects given $36.7bn in foreign public financing over a decade
Renewable energy received $3.3bn in the same period between 2010 and 2020 but researchers say that gap has narrowed
https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2021/nov/04/australian-fossil-fuel-projects-given-367bn-in-foreign-public-financing-over-a-decade
Public financial institutions overseas, including export credit agencies, poured $36.7bn into Australian fossil fuel projects over a decade, according to new research.
The report, by a group of environmental groups including Jubilee Australia and the Australian Conservation Foundation*, found this was 11 times more than the amount directed to renewable energy, which received $3.3bn between 2010 and 2020.
..
Tim Buckley of the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis said pressure was building on countries to end capital subsidies for fossil fuels.
“My number one issue is the constant refrain from the Morrison government that fossil fuels are a low-cost source of energy and that renewables aren’t as cost-effective,” he said.
“If they were so viable, why does an industry that has been around for centuries still need subsidies?”**
But he said the amount of global public finance directed toward fossil fuels had diminished in the past two years, with a shift towards investment in renewables.
“I expect that trend to continue,” he said.***
“But the question is why is anyone still providing literally billions in capital subsidies to coal, oil and gas?”****

White Supremacy. What a load of bulltish.
Superb comment ML and it should be a thread of its own. DB, can you post this as a stand alone thread?
Besides, let’s face it. The KKK was a scarcely articulated outburst in response to the Civil War, not a thread of history. It did not arise from a pedigree of white supremacy. Just discontented moronic peasantry who were convinced they should be lords, or fallen antebellum aristocracy who thought they should be kings.
Fact check: TRUE. Originally the Klan was born out of an economic response to the emancipation…..when poor whites in the south were worried about work with the influx of newly emancipated blacks. It had nothing to do with race. It doesn’t make the “Klan” respectable or nice but you have to understand history and why things happened……..but sadly we now live in a time when history and facts are ignored because it has to suit a narrative. And the bottom line is that the Klan was to the Democrat party of old what Antifa is now to the Democrat party in 2021……they operate as paramilitary wings to push particular narrative and they use violence to do it.
The superb Neil Oliver had a documentary a few years ago called “Who Put the Klan Into Ku Klux Klan”.

It was very heartening to watch Winsome and her family and supporters, all black and proud, take the Republican stage, and to listen to her recount her experiences of education as the way forward and the Civil Rights history as the ongoing salvation for black people in America. She ended on a note of firm Christianity, thanking Jesus. So many of America’s white Christian families as well as the many black ones would have been there with her on that. Christianity does not see colour.
The good things about America and the proud culture of its people are not all lost, not yet.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/nov/03/rust-armorer-laywer-suggests-sabotage-baldwin-live-round
A lawyer for the armorer who oversaw weapons used on the Rust movie set suggested on Wednesday that someone deliberately put a live round into the gun used by Alec Baldwin when he accidentally shot dead a cinematographer.
Jason Bowles said his client, Hannah Gutierrez, had pulled ammunition from a box that she believed contained only dummy rounds that were incapable of firing. He said he thought it was possible that someone purposely placed real bullets, which look similar to dummies, into the box.
“We’re afraid that could have been what happened here, that somebody intended to sabotage this set with a live round intentionally placed in a box of dummies,” Bowles said on ABC television’s Good Morning America.
“We’re not saying anybody had any intent there was going to be a tragedy of homicide,” he added, “but they wanted to do something to cause a safety incident on set. That’s what we believe happened.”

Jason Bowles said his client, Hannah Gutierrez, had pulled ammunition from a box that she believed contained only dummy rounds that were incapable of firing.
She only had one job, and was so easily misled? Don’t the dummies have a hole drilled in the casing? Did she have trouble detecting the hole with her white cane? Seeing eye dog having a day off?
If they didn’t know the difference between a live round and a dummy round they must be blind.

The best book on Grant makes it incredibly clear that after the “offence” of Southern states electing black republicans in the first elections after the war that the KKK was the instrument of choice to prevent that “mistake” happening again.
And it unfortunately worked.

Spot on, Cassie.
It’s only when you start ignoring history — and forbidding its accurate teaching in schools and universities — that history is repeated, led by the 21st century’s poorly-educated political loudmouths.
Ha!
Without knowing how these things worked that was my suggestion last week. A hole drilled in the casing.
Seems like there were plenty of dummies on set.
And of course, only a conspiracy theorist would mention the WEF.
Proud to have owned it but, alas, that was Crossie’s comment.
For a moment I thought you were adding another joke but ‘blurting out something asinine’ merely makes them an ass.
On the other hand ‘one goat’ would be capricious.
Mustn’t forget about the indentured whites … something like 250-300K whites came to the US bound in involuntary servitude [war prisoners etc] or as voluntarily indentured. These were not treated much better than the black slaves, and arguably some were treated worse for the simple reason that the southern slaves were assets for life # whereas the indentured had to be released after the term of their indenture and so were worked very hard to get the maximum out of them… and a lot did not survive the indenture.
Those convicts and indentured coming to Australia were nothing more than those previously sent to the US pre Independence being re-directed …
[# Just as an aside – the first blacks arriving were governed by the usual indenture rules and were released after 7 years of servitude. It was only some time later the southern states changed the law and enabled servitude for life, (and why there were so many free blacks in the north …) ]
Ms. Gutierrez might want to switch to a lawyer who doesn’t make her incompetence look like the most plausible explanation for the incident every time he speaks to the press.
she must have been freshly jabbed
