The Pope’s Genocide Cowardice – Daniel Greenfield / Sultan Knish Articles at DanielGreenfield.org a truly evil pope
As of 2012, only 52.8 per cent of Tasmanian men and 46.9 per cent of Tasmanian women possess an OECD…
Fidel wouldn’t be too proud of his boy.
To everyone else who responded to Gabor, when you get cataracts done in both eyes one is done with near…
Our hearts go out to you both, Jupes. Hairy and I hope your sojourn in Tasmania at least turned up trumps for you. I think btw if you took JC’s advice and did an SUV runner that some radar somewhere would possibly pick you up so I hope there is no need to even vaguely consider it. Certainly if this run fails then the temptation would be there to just crash and crash through.
Or buy a nice little place in Tassie. They’ve gone up a lot in price recently, but still pretty affordable.
Are you denying that cheese-nightmares are real JC?

Are you kidding. He’s trained to avoid stuff like that. He travels at night and camouflages the SUV during the day and sleeps. If someone sees him, he executes them.
I guess I do as an Australian citizen, but anything going to the High Court is a million bucks, no?
That’s because the government health “experts” running the response to Kung Flu are utterly incompetent and are making up the rules as they go along.
Before Kung Flu, Brett Sutton was using his government sinecure to campaign against “climate change”, the left’s religious replacement for Christianity. He is just a political activist with a medical degree.
He also means do you have a case by which you can argue that you were legally ‘injured’ or impeded by the discrepancy, and furthermore do you have the caselaw and precedents to go with your argument.
So, 5 new cases in WA and an exposure site site in Broome — Diver’s Tavern on Cable Beach.
If it gets into the local Indig communities up there ……..
a quick final jump in before I run…
Just ask Lizzie; she’ll help out 😛
Can an individual challenge this example of unconstitutionality or would this be a legal argument between the states and the Commonwealth. The reason I ask is if this can’t be challenged by individuals then there’s not going to be any legal disagreement between the states and the Common. They’re in lockstep.
As best I’m aware a private individual or business doesn’t have automatic standing to initiate a challenge.
But it often happens that there’s some dispute between a state and a prole or business where the issue ends up getting litigated. E.g. when a state tries to ping an individual or a business, the individual or business can argue as a defence “the law you’re pinging me under is unconstitutional because it’s inconsistent with Commonwealth law”.
So it’s often a citizen or private business that ends up fighting it.
Weren’t those communities offered vaccination on a priority basis, but declined?
This is when we need Big Fat Clive. That fat fuck has a run rate of running a major law suit everyday and I’m possibly only exaggerating by a smidgen. We don’t need him running political parties. We just need him running law suits.
Can you imagine his freaking legal bills. I’d take a rough guess, there are years the fat fuck clocks up $10 million plus in legal bills and I’m being conservative.

Spot on. Also related to Jane Halton.
After 15 December, 2020 I deleted the Tell-Me-Where-U-R app from my phone. I now go masked up and write up the name and phone number of one of the Rub ‘n’ Tugs in Marrickville.
Hey, Jupes, does this affect you?? Posted about 20 mins ago:
Do the nomenklatura really think we are impressed with post nominals like AO and PSM? Probably more to flash at each other.
That surveillance app is probably what gives me the tomtits more than any other aspect. That “they” are tracking my phone is, in my eyes, unforgivable. They don’t even bother to try to hide it; the app tells you “Uploading the photo and your location”.
If a picture was taken, of a friend, with his favorite meat cleaver & pig dog dressed in camo gear with a hockey mask on parked outside McClowns house (as hes travelling to his abode of course) how long do you think the “ping” would take?
Asking for a fiend…
Quite apart from that, any given circumstance can give rise to internal conflict between sections of the Constitution.
Which are to be resolved by the High Court.
Whose role of interpretation is enshrined in the Constitution itself.
Amazing that people are prepared to pull out a single section and put their own “plain English” spin on it, but then deny the explicit section that annoints the High Court the final say on interpretation.
“Phht. They’re all poofters and pedos”, they squeal.
I’ve always had a soft spot for jupes.
He was the first Cat I ever argued with.
Glad it wasn’t in person. 😀
Can’t argue with that.
And now with a range of personalised bed linen. So he’s taken even more seriously.
I now go masked up and write up the name and phone number of one of the Rub ‘n’ Tugs in Marrickville.
So if Albo gets told to isolate we’ll know who to blame [or thank].
A bit unfair Tom.
He also campaigned for the sugar tax, plain ciggy packets and a ban on Maccas.
She’s one of the biggest swampers in existence. In a fair country her citizenship would be revoked and sent packing back to Limey central.
This taxeater extraordinaire was highlighted in an Oz puff piece about 2 years ago. She was upset she was unable to attend swamp confabs in hotels like the Pierre in NYC. She attempted to pull the line these international meetings were so important.
It was during the time Hydro was being criticized by the establishment and in the puff piece, this taxeater suggested the medication was dangerous. This was what the rest of the anti-Trump rat pack were saying at the time and she caught it from them as she had zero idea. She has no degree in medicine and no one at the time really knew if it worked or not. Deport her!
Do the nomenklatura really think we are impressed with post nominals like AO and PSM? Probably more to flash at each other.
Imagine being a barista near Owen Dixon Chambers in the morning, calling out the orders:

So boasting about how much you haven’t got would be the height of good manners.
Good news 🙂

Incidentally, why is there even such a thing as the “Public Service Medal”? Or alternatively why not a “Private Enterprise Medal” as well?
Airports are Cth property. Not even covered by State zoning laws. Hence their popularity with DFO and Costco types.
Yes, also why you don’t see a State Police RBT or speed trap on roads within airport boundaries. The Federal Police can/do get out the radar gun, but very rare. In the event of a major incident, State Police can be called in (as authorised officers under a range of Regulations) if the Feds don’t have enough resources immediately available to protect life/property.
It’s worth remembering that the Commonwealth only prevails where it actually has a law in place. In other words, the States can legislate almost anything they please without falling foul of existing Commonwealth legislation if that legislation doesn’t exist. (remember Dan signed the Belt & Road with the Chinese? There was not, then, any specific legislation to prevent it). By the way, Australia is a signatory to a range of UN protocols on assorted human rights etc but those are not always enshrined into law in Australia. So, we can wave the flag and say how we support this or that and we are good global citizens……but it isn’t actually the law of the land.
Someone mentioned Business Class flights before.
Why do we book them?
Better meals?
Nicer toilets?
Extra legroom?
Lay flat seat-beds on long haul?
No.
It’s solely so we can arrive and board early, hold our champers glass with one pinky extended and disdainfully watch the great unwashed file past to cattle class.
Thanks Lizzie. Looks like we will just scrape back in. From Bruce above:

JC is correct.
It doesn’t matter what the constitution says.
I point out that the constitution is being ignored and interpreted by criminals who call black, white.
Constitutions were written simply for times like this.
It may surprise wankers like Boxcar willy (that’s Rex, Lysander, not you) but the American and Australian Constitutions were written precisely so people on both sides of the contract between government and the people could understand it.
And the forefathers explained that is precisely why they wrote it that way.
Are you going to take the government to court and win?
Of course you are not.
Which says exactly where we are in the downfall of our institutions.
Yet when reading the constitution the people can quite easily come to the conclusion we are being tyrannized by those who have put themselves above the rule of law, and their only power is now derived from the weapons of their troops.
So yes, it is vitally important to know that just because a corrupt Lawyer quotes you a corrupt decision regarding the constitution, that you can see it is a corrupt decision.
eg.
Arseholes claim section 51 xxiiia isn’t about what it says it’s about.
We are supposed to just accept their crap?
Many here would say yes.
When it was written straight off the back of Nuremburg and one of the few Referendum that passed?
No. You can read plain English and you know what it means.
And that is important.
109 means the Constitution is the supreme law and overides state law.
117 means you can’t be discriminated against due to where you live within the commonwealth.
It specifically states the only parliament allowed to make laws regarding quarantine is the Commonwealth parliament.
Now those with the guns on their side will tell you that’s bullshit.
But you can read for yourselves.
Part of winning is knowing what you are dealing with.
Criminals odf the highest order.
No matter what their lackies interpreting the law to suit their criminality says.
You don’t go into contracts with anyone else and let their lawyers have the final say on how that contract is understood,………
Yikes!

Which by definition must mean I’m wrong.
Plenty of scope for arguing constitutional law questions. If you didn’t get your legal training from watching The Castle.
Oh well, that counts me out.
The Vibe is my speciality too.
And a bunch of wordwalls and calling your class enemies names, Struth, will be about as effective at overcoming State and Federal law as the fellow behind Kony2012 was at bringing that notorious leader of the Lord’s Resistance Army to justice…
(The thought of Struth going full Kony2012, and being found running about starkers in the streets while waving a copy of the Constitution is mildly amusing, but mostly sad).
Couldn’t agree more, Bushkid, you’ve nailed the details of national despair very well. It may seem like it, because perhaps Struth harps on about it, but in my commenting I have not just been concerned with my own international travel or personal health and welfare. Far from it. I’ve consistently recognised here that many are doing it tough. In my Quadant article in June on return from the US I raised the issue of Australia’s lack of a proportionate response to Covid and also signed the GBD as an MPH in October 2020. These seemed to me to be useful things that I could do.
The Cat has been a mine of information from the grass roots experience of being ground underfoot by big pharma and big government. I am entirely sympathetic with that. I’ve felt it in my own family too.
So many people have suffered so much in this less-than-major pandemic, most of them due to failures of government to look with objectivity at the data and act with a measured response, without loss of livelihood due to lockdowns and without mandating (with brutality) medical ‘papers’ in our civil society. As a nation we are in debt to the eyeballs from spending that has been profligate and often unnecessary and for much of which we have no tangible result. We would likely have achieved the same light death rate if we hadn’t locked down this wide open country, full of first world medical care and healthy housing conditions for most people, with Sweden as our model there.
God help us in the next pandemic if Net Zero sends the world into a tailspin of economic depression and resultant poor health, ideal conditions for dangerous new viral outbreaks and spread.
We will need to do better than in this one and apply the lessons learned.
Luckily I don’t have this problem with Groogs (yet).
Snort, cackle.
You spacktard.
Contract law is not Constitutional law is not the legislative process.

I’d always pictured you as a private jet kind of guy for whom even a first class ticket on a commercial airliner would be “public transport”.
I walked down the main drag of Mosman yesterday morning looking to get breakfast. Of the four cafes I looked at all had their ‘indoors’ sections closed and only allowed customers to sit in the outside areas.
Yesterday was not a cool day, and the rain that has been importuning us like an ample-bodied economy passenger sitting next to you trying to get comfortable, while you can but look on with heightened apprehension not for whether an elbow or shoulder, or forearm, will deliver what would be called assault in any other context, but merely when. This grunt? That groan? Or that explosive wrenching of tissue from under the armrest?
Anyway, it was warm and we have had days of intermittent but persistent rain, so it was humid as buggery. The flies were having a great morning sloughing off little sheets of sweat as they rose in waves through people’s tissues. And the sun was doing what it does best: Being hot.
The whole sickening miasma was not so thick you could cut it with a knife. You would have needed a chainsaw.
Now, all these cafes are already paying for their indoor spaces. It is no economy to them to have them closed off. In fact it would be a cost as it reduced their seating capacity, and each of them lost (amortising over the four) a quarter of a customer in just the couple of minutes I was there.
I would have to put it down to the customers’ fears. They always had the option to sit outside anyway, but the owners of the cafe’s must have sensed that these chittering monkeys would not tolerate someone else feeling so entitled that they sat indoors.
The states and the Feds are in lockstep because they now have a National Cabinet, and cabinet solidarity dictates that the Constitution means nothing.
Clive Palmer discovered that the hard way when he took the WA Government to court, the Feds sat on their hands and didn’t get involved to defend the Constitution. Why on earth do we have a federal government?
Me too, and I have done so with the kids in the past, with Hairy in a company paid Business Class seat upfront. He has had serious DVT’s in both legs since then and we don’t begrudge each other some comforts now, especially on long-haul flights.

Interesting article in American Thinker. Curious to see how this pans out. It’s consistent in the rise of non-COVID deaths the all-cause mortality stats are showing.
Anyone here still think that St Gough was worse than Goose Morristeen?
To be fair to Gough he volunteered for active service in WWII and then gave up a probably immensely lucrative career as a barrister to do the yard yards over many years to restore the ALP to electable status.
If he’d died a few days after being sworn in as PM we’d be hailing him as the man who did a great service to Australian democracy by preventing it becoming a de facto one party state.
But alas no…
(A bit like the great cricket writer’s line that the great tragedy of David Gower’s life was that he wasn’t killed in WWI at a young age.)

We are too far gone as a nation for any of this to matter, EXCEPT that we know what type of unconstitutional rabble we have ruling us by gun.
There’s many more laws they are breaking as well.

Yes. I was speaking of steely looks.
And the Fur Elise episode was her most explosive performance.

There are hundreds (at least) of aboriginal tribes (or whatever the grouping is that corresponds to country, rather than band or nation).
If they set up a monument in Canberra, they can likely expect hundreds of
requestsdemands for monuments – why should the Ngarwhals (or whatever) be accorded special status.And most of the agitation will be driven by white people who identify as one tribe or another, but the people pushed in front of the cameras will be tribal elders (no verification required), or Aunty someone, a proud whatever woman.
If only someone would stand up and publicly predict this, leaving it for that idiot Morrison to either admit he has opened a can of worms, or to claim that it won’t – only to be revealed as not equal to the role he has cast for himself afterward.
I wish someone would do a smoking ceremony at the new Parliament House. Hopefully while they are all inside. But even if not, Parliamentarians are unable to do the zoom meetings they demanded everyone else do.
This is called an agreement.
The people have agreed to be governed under the constitution.
Not the national fucking cabinet, hmmmm?
OH, IT’S NOT A CONTRACT, YOU CAN’T INTERPRET IT……AAAAAAHHHHHH sob the bedwetters.

Huh?
David Gower?
It was a gag.
They were satirising the calamitous shambles that England were under his captaincy, despite the high hopes that his earlier career had raised that he might be the Messiah.
Ye gods, Jupes. That is a really close shave. We will be thinking of you a lot tomorrow and hope that Qantas doesn’t let you down.
I bet they slap a long home quarantine on you. But at least you’ll be home.
WA is something else again. I realised that when I got caught up for my son and grandson in their family law system, which is different from that which pertains elsewhere in the Commonwealth.
Fundamentally, they are separatists and should be pulled back hard into line.
As far as I’m concerned Australia either dumps the state governments or the Federation in dissolved (my preference). I understand the Federation is supposed to be indissoluble but the fuckwits on the high court interpret anything they like, so it can be done. Apart from killing all the politicians and anyone in the judicial system(my preference) the spiral downwards will continue till the anarchists get going, which is not likely to happen. If the Constitution can’t be read in plain English its rubbish. Sane goes for any law. The law should be written for the majority not the exception.
Dude, I could barely afford the fold out table hinges in one of those things. In any event, coming from people that would know, I’ve heard that the last thing you want to do is fly here in a private jet as it’s a very long flight and very bumpy compared to a heavy plane. First class on a heavy jet is much better, according to them.
In all seriousness, if you were really wealthy I can understand wanting to own such a toy if you’re living outside Australia. Australian airports are easy to get to and very accommodating compared to nearly anything comparable overseas. Owning one here is a bit of a wank, but not so much elsewhere.
Worse- I have them in the family.
And worse again- I have read and understand more of Australia’s civic system than just the Federal Constitution in isolation, Struth. Which is where you and so many otherwise honest and well-meaning people come so horribly unstuck the moment they try to directly copy the memes and more robust challenges of our American friends’ federation.
As such, this-

You can’t talk about the high court like that in the presence of Frank Thring of Geelongistan.
The good thing, actually the great thing about a private jet is the relatively enormous emissions the fucker puts out thereby sending the Gretas in mental spasms. That would be lots of fun in owning one. A private jet also makes very wealthy leftwing ink-bots look hypocritical.
There are many Sandgropers who would agree with you.
Sneakers came in as some Great White Hope in 2015, but after a term of insipidity and union-pandering at the expense of the services and infrastructure he was supposedly elected to fix, Nosferaflu was the life-preserver he needed.

Rambler, I’m guessing you continued on with pocket holes and not because you’re screaming poor either. 🙂
I don’t come unstuck at all, choo choo man.
I’m well aware the supreme law of the land has been undermined, purposefully misinterpreted, ignored and the elites have wiped their arses on it for years.
But the facts remain.
It is the supreme law and what contradicts it is invalid.
And in Australia’s case, those invalid, bullshit, illegal state and commonwealth so called laws, that contradict it, are being enforced by the point of a gun.
But this attitude that you leave it to criminals to interpret it for you so you can delude yourself that we still are a rule of law nation, is farcical.
And another typo is gifted a life of its own. 😕
Reminds me a little of what may have been the case with Marilyn Monroe. She died young and at the height of her fame, her glamorous image frozen in time. Had she lived longer, as new beauties emerged, while her allure flagged as her charms…sagged, then she might have been remembered a little less fondly and with some embarrassment*.
James Dean too.
The greatest blow to Gough’s legacy was his being able to have one.
* There is always talk about how intelligent she was. She may have been quite smart. She famously impressed intelligent men, don’t know what intelligent women said. But it was not her intelligence that made her a star.
The good thing, actually the great thing about a private jet is the relatively enormous emissions the fucker puts out thereby sending the Gretas in mental spasms.
We should get a kickstarter going to remake these beauties then.

USSR,
I’m not buying that. Jack P is ordinarily an excellent dude, but in respect he’s 100% wrong. There would one in 1 billion billion billion billion chance (in other words zero) that a dude wouldn’t date a gal because she was vaccinated and therefore posed a risk to having kids.
I hate to be a bearer of bad news, but dudes don’t date sheilas because of their procreative value. The first thoughts that goes into a dude’s head if he’s considering asking a sheila out for a date are these and in this order.
1. Is she fuckable?
2. What are my chances of getting a leg over on the first date?
The idea that dudes think about dating a gal because he desires a baby is fucking laughable. It’s not only the last thing from a guy’s mind but the mere thought would cause him to run a mile. Dudes don’t think like that. Remain silent on this stuff.
No. It was the nude photos and the Weinsteining.
She would have done the #metoo thing with relish. But probably not from the same motives.

Half the fun in the TV series ‘Succession’ is watching the uber-rich at play with their expensive toys and palaces. It is a fitting back story to the hideously dysfunctional children they manage to rear.
We are rewatching it now in series 1, because in the first viewing of it you are so appalled at the kids that you need to know what happens in their futures in order to bring some sympathy back to their intro. You can also pick up on sound and set details you may have missed the first time, for the pace is brisk in it and the production values are high. Verdict: one of the best depictions of 21st century hardball capitalism, featuring a media mogul and all of the usual suspects. Enjoyed it much as I enjoyed ‘Margin Call’.
People we know have given up on it because they hated everyone in it at the start.
It’s a far cry from the culturally uncomplicated days of Foyle’s War and the Battle of Britain.
Foyle’s driver had that ultra-perky cap as part of her uniform. Very fetching.
I believe Ike’s driver exerted some charm too.
Far worse – Gough began the process of dismantling the work ethic, and instilling the welfare mentality – of turning Australia from a nation of lifters to a nation of leaners – dependent on the system -that successive Governments – even those elected with a sizeable majority in both houses – have been curiously reluctant to reverse.
On David Gower – he was the classic upper class English gentleman player. To his credit, he didn’t take himself too seriously and he went out onto the paddock looking like he didn’t have a care in the world when facing some of the most frightening bowling attacks in human history.
His battles with Ozzie blowflies were also legendary. 🙂
The good thing, actually the great thing about a private jet is the relatively enormous emissions the fucker puts out thereby sending the Gretas in mental spasms.
Alas, I never have and never will be able to indulge myself like that.
The only time I have ever been on a “private” (well, corporate) jet was for work, to travel to and from a mine site in a remote region where an airstrip had been carved out of the pristine wilderness for access to the adjacent gargantuan mining operation.
So nothing to provoke the Gretas at all in that, of course.

Just because you say so, O Mighty Road Wobbler-Tantrumthrower, does not make it true.
Particularly when you deign to read the magic words on every Act of “For the Good Governance of the People of Australia/ The State of…” And then all the subseqient paragraph that align with the applicable Commonwealth legislation and/or any binding international treaties/agreements/declarations.
If you have a case to argue, and the portfolio of precedents and prior judgements to present to the High Court to support your argument, then go do it.
Flouncing about and flapping your arms and hysterically screeching But I Don’t Like It!!!1! is not resolving your declared Constitutional Crisis. It makes you as useless and compliant with MuH TyRanNy as you accuse everyone else here of being.
Merv only had to glance at the batsman to make him wilt. Horrible stuff.
Nope, at the very beginning, no Karen filter if she’s hot. That comes later when you’d dump her.

*Anyone who detests Ian Chappell as much as I do, is obviously a sound personage. 🙂
What law was broken, Struth?
The Constitution, by your own declaration, is a contract. Not a law.
Learn from Robespierre. His followers guillotined him because his zealotry against everyone in power he didn’t like got too lethal…
You are correct JC.
Not a lot of chaps turn down a one nighter with anything over a 8 on the hot/crazy matrix.
That’s because she is not a threat to wyminses. So mambypamby. She had to have a Labour politician for a husband coz no one else would do it. They tried to make her smart but she was just young and naive. Now Hilda was no beauty and getting on but at least the effort would have been worthwhile.
Which reminds me…when did the hideous term “batter” come into vogue? I speak of the brave warrior facing a piece of rounded, weighted leather hurtling towards their person at many…many kph’s.
It used to mean a coating on a deep fried food item, not something in any way associated with bats and balls.
Or is it a sly reference to suspected DV?
Either way, it’s ridiculous.
When Gough won the election in ’72, after McMahon conceded defeat, Gough and his Deputy PM, Lance Barnard, headed out to Yarralumla to be sworn in by the GG. The vote counting, or the recounts, hadn’t yet been completed, so Gough and Lance took on the rolls of all the ministries till the election counts were completed.
That night Gough and Lance attended the officer graduation parade at the Duntroon RMC , and Gough stood up to address the graduates with “Gentlemen, I am pleased to advise you that, for the first time in Australian history, the entire Federal Cabinet is 100% composed of returned servicemen.”
Lance served in the Australian Army during WWII.
With Orange Man gone there is much less for Greta to do.
After her odyssey across the seas in a sailboat that even with modern industrial economies very few could ever afford (much less so in the impoverished economy her exhortations would deliver) she had one task – to scowl at Trump and with her powers to bring him to his knees in contrition.
Alas, it was the unpleasable Norse meets the unwooable object.
He walked straight past her.
After that it was back to life in the Gaia preaching jet set.
Sir Vivian Richards, circa 1976 – “There is not a batsman on this earth who goes out to face Lillee and Thompson with a smile on his face” …
One of my friends, wife of the President of the golf club, refuses to watch ‘Succession’ because of the ‘language’ in it. True, in formal American movie style these days, every second word is fuck, especially when the focus is on the rich yoof at play or the mogul roaring out his battle cries.
You get used to it, I tell her. She doesn’t believe she will.
Pity, because her trendoid kids have all gone to live in Nimbin and she might reflect a bit.
She took out a fleeing crim with a dustbin lid last night.
Not bad for a vicar’s daughter.
The casting in ‘Succession’ is superb. Brian Cox as the mogul heads up a stellar cast.
“Gentlemen, I am pleased to advise you that, for the first time in Australian history, the entire Federal Cabinet is 100% composed of returned servicemen.”
Yes I’ve heard that- only thing is I don’t think Lionel Murphy had any service record. Correct me if I’m wrong.
Very, very recently, from what I can gather. This (among many other examples) is why I can no longer watch sport, including my beloved roundball*.
Collectivists, destroying and sucking the joy out of everything, again. 🙁
*I hate the term soccer, although it does have some historical context in the colonies.
With everyone depended on welfare I don’t think this is going to change.
Evan the minor parties have to promise ‘stuff.
True, Rabz.
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust…
The “daughter” Shiv is about 20 kilos overweight. Far too big to be taken seriously. Yea, I know she’s Australian.
Not the LDP, Dude.
There’s a great story about Murphy and the water bed at Gordon Barton’s house.
Lance Barnard was the Minister for Defence when pay for the Citizens Military Forces – now the Army Reserve – was made the same as for the Regular Forces – just over doubled, and remained tax free to boot.
The Constitution is a Contract, eh?
Where is the Consideration for Value provision in this “contract”?
Whitlam and Barnard- the duumvirate
I wouldn’t date one because there is a high probability she’s a clueless libtard (well, and because I’m married).
Not too sure about that. I thought she was presented b the coy writers as a closet lesbian.
But it is a preogative right of the Commonwealth to make such dealings, in addition to the head of power. I’d argue it could be revoked with an executive order with no parent legislation. This is like how the Tampa case was decided.
Some of them are indeed enshrined into legislation.
Sure, they could have been interveners. They were not obligated (you can argue but cannot rock solidly prove that) to intervene. I agree they should be sworn to defend civil rights, like the US Feds.
The rather fetching English Rose, Honeysuckle Weeks. 😕
They will gain short term on a protest vote but not enough to change long tern views on welfare, JC.
I hope I’m wrong.
So who’s say for sure the next gen LDP leaders won’t bend to get out of political wilderness.
Mission creep is inevitable and human.
Maximum temp today a cool 17c. Same yesterday, and low to mid twenties forecast for the remainder of the week.
So far this “summer”, we have had two days in the high(ish) thirties, six days in low thirties and the rest in twenties, or below . BoM 21 day forecast predictcs the warmest day for the rest of January will be 32 degrees.
I mention this because summers here are usually scorching – always were, always will be – with half a dozen 40’s plus every year and interminable heatwaves that sap the spirit. For two years now, we have have enjoyed the soothing mildness of La Nina, along with frequent showers, to indulge the 300 trees which we’ve planted. So lucky!
But the media will not report this because it is a happy weather story*; no doom and gloom and Climate Armageddon (TM).
My tomatoes are not happy about the lack of sunlight and warmth. Tough. I’ll buy my passata this year.
john P isn’t saying that. He’s saying men are reluctant to date vaxxed gals because it poses a danger to their reproduction potential. What dude has ever considered that at the beginning?
Goes back to Clarke’s days as captain, at least. Probably on instruction from CA.
Then commentators started using it.
I suppose “batswoman” is deemed too much of a mouthful.
Anyone who uses it is a misogynist and probably a racist too.
And an anti-vaxxer.
Maybe there are more honourable young men in America, who don’t look for one nighters. Who knows?

I can see the classified ads now: “straight man seeking pure-blood woman for long term relationship” ?
Maths is misogyny.
For a true feminist even one in a google-plex is an unsupportable risk of denying a women the right to a marriage that is an instrument of male oppression maintained by the patriarchy designed solely to deny women authentic existence.
You beast!

The Constitution is a Contract
It is a social contract in that the people agree to abide by its terms and in return the laws which define the society of the people are limited by the constitution.
No.
You could make an argument that “batsman” is the person with the hand on the bat. So the gender nonsense would be negated.
It’s as silly as calling the chairman (male or female) the “chair”.
Okay. Can we increase the idiocy to eleventy and have “batsperson”? That would cover all fifty thousand genders except people who identify as non-people.
Rog – the term was “mandated” very recently by the imbeciles maladministering cricket in this country (i.e. about two or three months ago).
If I’m not incorrect, “batsman” was the term universally used in both men’s and women’s cricket up until then.
Bluddee collectivists. 😡

It’s good to be one of the Brahmin Caste.
Sexist!
QLD’s Lex Luthor (h/t stix) CHO says Omicron will peak in a few weeks and then decline and everyone will then have some immunity.
I must say that thus far he’s a refreshing change from the worry wart who now sits in Government House.
batter- I though you were talking about fish and chips. Now I get it- how prissy and grotesque.
*Pummels balled fists furiously and ineffectually on JC’s chest for about 5 seconds, then bursts into tears*
Thank Christ the scene pulled away before the snotty makeup sex scene.
What dude has ever considered that at the beginning?
Only in the reverse sense of putting a party hat on Mr Happy before the speleology begins.
Indeed calli, because we wouldn’t them to be confused with “batpeople” “batperson” or “batpersonage”. 😕
* e.g. batlizard, batpineapple, batsouper.
No, Rabz, I remember Clarke using it as captian because he was quizzed by a commentator as to whether the term was now “mandated” by CA, to which he gave no clear answer; ergo, I conclude, yes it was mandated. This was when women’s crickit was beginning to become a thing.
This was prior to Murphy and the others getting a role. Gough’s first cabinet consisted of two people, Gough & Lance Barnard, both ex-servicemen.

National cabinet: Australia to provide free RAT tests to six million people after push from Queensland
What a retard.
All in favour will credit Pony Girl, and all opposed will blame ScoMo.
it’s a length of the field own goal into the top corner of the net.
Tony, I was going to say I’d rather chew my leg off than watch (or listen to) Boycott, but that would’ve been a bit orf.
Boycott was maginally more exciting to watch than Chris (tap-tap) Tavare (yawn).
#watchingpaintdry.
err, yeah, no Rog, it was formally “mandated” by the ICC quite recently.
If you choose to believe the ALPBC.
Note I did say “thus far”, calli, so I’m still hedging my bets. [Smiley face.]
In the CHO business you’re only as good as your last press conference.
Australia led the way, Rabz.
We can be proud of that.
The broader the hat brim, the bigger the overdraft.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison has agreed to make rapid antigen tests free for more than 6.6 million Australians on concession cards after a meeting of national cabinet.
Karen demands the manager supply her with 3 per day.
Karen demands to know why there is a shortage.
Karen wonders why services are declining and businesses are closing.
Thanks Old Bloke- been wondering about that on and off for decades!
And Stalag-LuftWA strikes again. A news item about WA lifting its ban on RATs in the state contains this little gem:
So, sign in and show your clean or unclean status in one fell swoop … oh, and don’t forget you’ll need photo ID as well. Daughter and SIL both had to sign in, show their vax certificate AND their driver’s licence to get into the Breakwater Tavern at Hillarys Boat Harbour yesterday afternoon.

Has anyone considered that it took humanity so long to achieve a semblance of freedom largely BECAUSE so many people actually LIKE being under the boot?
I used to believe that virtually all human beings inherently and fundamentally desired to be free and to have liberty and autonomy.
I was wrong.
Not only is this not true, but a significant % of people will actually ATTACK you if you advocate their liberty.
Valuable lesson.
It’s fair to assume it’s always been that way.

1. Covid got into Qld’s remote/isolated indigenous communities just before Christmas.
2. Co-morbidities abound in said communities.
3. Lotsa hand-wringing & talk of “temporary morgues” urgently shipped to said communities to cope with the scores of vulnerable indigenous who’d be dropping dead – (just like on Chinese streets.)
4. Two weeks is the time frame to either flatten the curve or lose control.
5. More than two weeks have passed.
6. Number of covid deaths in said communities: Zero.
Lex Luthor is correct; Let ‘er rip!
I can’t wait to hear at the next Test, about persons X and Y a
who are about to open the battery…
Sadly, it is obvious that testing is going to be the new tyranny.
It is dramatically more intrusive and potentially abusive than the passport or check in.
Any person, institution, venue or employer can, and will, demand test results before permitting contact or participation.
It’s going to be a constant and expensive burden. A lot of people will probably just bow out.
The elite and media will love it.
Lance Barnard was ex – 9th Division, including El Alamein.
He really was a loathsome figure.
Never forget, he mysteriously went missing from selection for England about the time Lillee and Thommo were terrorising batsman across the planet.
It wasn’t Boycs who answered his country’s call, left his hearth and home (in the middle of winter, no less) and journeyed half way across this earth to face that terrible twosome in 74-75, but the 41 year old Colin Cowdrey.
Boycott’s commentary was even more dire than the Ozzie imbeciles infesting broadcasting boxes in various test grounds across the planet.
A vile stupid vainglorious coward. The most gutless and boring English cricketer to have blighted the modern game, even worse than z-grade pretenders such as Gatts and the Brierley.
There are few more sporting figures in human history more detestable.

14 days. But at least it’s home quarantine.
She young and still looks good. Men today are too conditioned to lust after stick figures, every homosexual’s preference when designing female clothes for the fashion industry.
Shiv does have the sort of body that will go to fat in the end. Actually it’s there already in her rear which is admittedly rather large. I think it makes her seem far more realistic than if she was like some of the other women, social x-rays who waft in and out of the scene as support workers, PR flaks etc. She plays a fabulous part as the daddy’s girl who isn’t sure that she is – and apart from the kilos reminds us somewhat of our own corporate-styled daughter (who is a much nice person though I hope). They do have similar ways of responding in short flicks of the hair and an upward face tilt and using no extra words but with the ability to work a room with style. Nothing phases Shiv – until it does.

I got upgrade once because my first and middle initials are D and R so the hostie reads it like Im a doctor.

Shiv also has a somewhat tense relationship with her mother which makes me twitch.
Calm down, Lizzie, says Hairy. Our daughter really does love you.
Hrrrumph. I know I say. Deep down. Sometimes. Maybe.
Mothers and daughters. It really is a thing. It is excoriating in this series.
The Commonwealth Public Service once (briefly) consisted of just one person, Robert (later Sir Robert) Garran.
He later joked he had to make the tea and put out the rubbish bin and in-between typed up the first Commonwealth Gazette.
We were very close once, and then she turned fourteen!
Hard work after that. 😉
This is the health Nazis pathetic attempt to keep their power during the waning effects of the ‘rona. Even more pathetic is SloMo and the premiers kowtowing to the fascist imbeciles.
I’m sorry, but why would people who can easily stay home and isolate if a little unwell need rapid antigen tests?
It’s not as if they have any urgent business or employment matters that need attending to.

No.
I’m in Barcaldine.
Horsham is a suburb of Barcaldine, yes?
This is a wonderful story. Not least because all the graduating officers were “gentlemen”. Gough’s record as a navigator flying combat missions in New Guinea is not to be sneezed at. Barnard being a veteran of the magnificent 9th division speaks for itself too.
This was day one of Gough as prime minister. Too bad the story deteriorated after that.
Thanks, taxpayers!

Best to decline the offer of a private jet. You can go back to cattle from business. I’m not sure about private to public. Disclosure: spoken not from experience (I did get bumped into business London to Singapore once in the good old days). Luxury for me was not flying Brunei.
Shouldn’t that be batperpeople?

I don’t get it – what evidence is there that he rooted her when she was underage?
A photo is not evidence of an illegal relationship, unless they’re in flagrante delicto.

You don’t want to contend with the wind.
Particularly hard if you only have one child – & it is a daughter! Sadly, my daughter and I are completely unalike in temperament, interests and general approach to life. It is what it is.
Fortunately, the genetic inheritance is much more apparent in the two grandchildren. All the assets and liabilities are all there – but at least they are familiar! They are a complete joy. Teenagers now, and both have encountered great dramas even at this age. But they know that we have their back.
The broader the hat brim, the bigger the overdraft.
That’s a fair cop, Zulu
Shiv isn’t remotely overweight.
May I express furious agreement with JC’s proposition earlier.
There is not one man on this planet today* that on first sight of a ladeeeee person thinks to himself ‘she should be good for four or five kids’.
They think:
‘That one is bang on the money.’
‘Which of her companions is the blocker I need to neutralise?’
‘What is she drinking, and how much do I reckon she’s had?’
‘Is the absence of rings on the left hand genuine, or is she a candidate for playing an away game?’
And:
‘How much will this cost me?’
There are other questions which need to be posed dependent on specific circumstances, but those are the basics.
*The Middle Ages were different, particularly if you were a King.
Small dogs are the new black.
A bloke may own a big dog, but only if it is goofy and sits on your foot all the time, and then leans on you throwing you off balance while you’re doing something important.
Yeah nah, wouldn’t work. One of the AWFL players just came out as ‘non-binary’. At which point, in a rational world, she should have been sacked on the spot, the AWFL being the WOMAN’S league and all.
But no. She was ‘brave’ according to the AFL.
If there is any evidence Ms. Guiffre’s lawyers will attempt to extract it from Prince Andrew when he is deposed – i.e. questioned by them under oath – during the discovery process, which would be the next stage if the judge denies PA’s motion to dismiss.
“Batters” does have the merit of not then needing 57 different versions of bat[something].
I think the noun mainly used in my case was “prodder”. Speaking of which re Boycott I recall one early one day match. England couldn’t leave their best batsman out of the side, but knew he was woefully unsuited to open in a one day match. So he was listed to come in at no. 11. It was rather funny.
Dover, have you seen her in the last season? I stand by 20 kilo minimum in the last season. She’s porked out. Gorgeous face still though.

We should just sell the bloody thing to private industry and and let them play with its maggotty corpse.
