The real shocking thing is the cost in AUD to buy that home here or in the US.
Outside of a few cities, it could be up to half the cost on the USA.
Smoking harassment.

Cold burgoo in the morning.
That was the highlight of the day.

Kelly Hoare, Miltonf, is one of the many beneficiaries of that venerable Newcastle Labor tradition of inheriting the family seat. IIRC, she regularly topped the press gallery’s poll for the most useless federal MP. My sources in Newcastle say there was a bit of wounded local pride when head office dumped her for Greg Connect, but it didn’t last long when they saw the benefits of having a competent local member.
Come on, man!
Get the wok out.
We had sweet and sour fish for dinner.
Home-made.
You know that sludgy sweet-and-sour you get in food courts?
Nothing like that.

Seriously, how can a young fellow afford a drink in Sydney these days if he’s just starting out?
That’s still a thing? Do you still have to scan the QR code to enter places in Sydney? I thought the mighty omicron would have finished all that shit by now.
I prefer the Oriental aesthetic, JC. Nothing in a straight line, no axis. More horizontal than vertical. Seated right into the landscape, not perched above it.
The only architects that did symmetry really well were the Georgians.
Dude, I can only operate the electric kettle or the coffee machine. I can’t recall the last time I turned on the cook top. I wouldn’t know how to use the snazzy oven, dishwasher, washing machine nor drier. Never used that crap. So no, I don’t cook.
I can use the microwave though 🙂
Huh? …. Where?

Yea, their buildings are world renowned. But hang on, Calli, are you meaning Georgians as in Georgia in the old Soviet Union or Georgian style which crept out of Britain during the time of one of the king Georges.
Hairy and I spend every Boxing Day with my rellies in Nowra.
They are salt of the Aussie earth. Living the dream in a project home.
Caravan, car, boat, dog, cat and three great teenage kids.
I am their Great Aunt. All my brother’s kids and their families.
Currently I am feeling a bit crook, sore arm, Hairy trying to explain something to me on a map and I simply cannot pay attention to it. Brain fog setting in. He thinks it serves me right for fighting on Catallaxy all day, but I say I wasn’t fit to do anything else. Anyway, it started this morning, before the Chicken Pox attenuated jab got into my brain. I wish she hadn’t drawn blood with the jab.
Not bloody likely, Cohenite! Nursing home? Good grief!
I have pretty good genes. Mum & day stayed in their family home until the day each died. Mum pretty much chain smoked from late teens to when she died at 84 – & not of lung cancer! Dad, who obviously was a passive smoker in the house all those years lived till 91 & I think died of loneliness after she had gone. He lasted only a year after her death. He reckoned X-rays showed “a shadow” on his lung for a long time, but never diagnosed with lung cancer.
Mum had virtually no regular exercise after she contracted Ross River fever in her 60s. Was bedridden for a couple of years. Dad, on the other hand, walked for an hour a day from the day he retired. They both ate healthy food and were teetotallers all their life.
Oh Lizzie! Didn’t you ask her to aspirate before she began the injection?
The harassment of the Jews started in WA yesterday. They are banned from the following:
So no fun or alcohol for the diseased rats. Don’t argue it’s the science. They should think themselves lucky they can get a take-away coffee.

Must be wonderful this time of year living in a fucking sauna.
I think the word for something which is pleasing to the eye is “balance”, not necessarily “symmetry”.
But I am still getting over JC picking a house with two 45 degree pitch gables.
Cronkers, do you think we could get a divorce going through the “unfamily” courts for smoking harassment.
If I were acting for her I would invoke the shiny arse™ principle. Case closed.
Please.
Let’s not denigrate other people’s professions with terms like “shiny arse”.
It’s not that sort of blog.
I like symmetry in a house probably because it’s less chaotic.
I take it they can still go to supermarkets?
If so the above list is just punitive and nothing to do with public health (to state the obvious).
And most West Australians are on board with it.
Revealing.

Not 100% homo without his masked and man bunned mate on the back.
Sanchez, balance is a synonym for symmetry, no?
She contracted Ross River Fever during a visit to a relative on the Atherton Tablelands in Qld. Not sure if it was actually contracted in that region, or in the extended car journey north from NSW into northern Qld.

WA used to have skewed demographics that included more white collar than elsewhere, not sure if it is still the case. Might have something to do with it, more bugmen per square inch.
Eggsactly my point, Vicki. Don’t go much further north than the NSW border and if you must go to Brisbane, do so in June, July or August. Queer’s land is not for human habitation and you can see the damage wrought by nearly all the Queer’s land commenters here. Malaria causes brain damage.
Pub I go to doesn’t really do much about signing in until around 6 which is the end of happy hour.
Nice enough crowd. Only one totally unpleasant person there.
Jeez, this is not going to get Tulsi a speaker’s spot at the next Demonrat convention.
Bespoke,
Are you a pilot?
I thought you would have mentioned it.
Incessantly.
Every pilot I know does.
Installed most of dewatering gear today. Slab of shed now 30mm above water level. 50Lpm pump and 1000m of poly pipe installed. Installing the pipe I realised the inadequacy of the whole installation, walking down the paddock it’s not just around the shed area that’s the problem, the whole paddock has 4” of water over it! That’s what 6” of rain in one downpour will do!
You think? I bet you didn’t know Eyrie is an aviator did you? He’s rarely mentions it.

Rest assured the 14 born and bred West Aussies like myself, Custard and a few other top sorts are dead against this rubbish.
It’s the bloody kiwis, poms, Scots, corporate instaho’s and mong eastern staters that reside here that are buggering it up.
Now, what’s this about skewered demographics?
And Hello BoN.
I’m fine, hope you are all well.
I’ve got a bit going on up here fighting and we haven’t lost yet.
I must admit in getting a bit tired , because as you know, I’ve been fighting this bullshit from the start, so now around me people are waking up and getting angry. So they are just starting to fight. No matter what, the worst is over for people like me. Even if they put me in a camp, …. because we are no longer screaming into an empty void of lost souls and propaganda victims. So the recently angry are energising me and rallies and protests are happening. Schools can’t resume up here due to lack of teachers. 90% jabbed, my hairy arse. So much going on. I don’t come here very often at the moment because there is no fight, no real reason to..
You’ve all worked it out and taken your positions. ….. Either like minds or those who have submitted and don’t want to know or talk about it anymore.
Everyone’s taken their positions, and those that are going to endlessly jab themselves to death have heard all the arguments against doing so.
Time and again.
It’s not the gibbering mess of covid fear it was for over a year and a half, and those being honest will admit that it was.
I save things over on the furniture shop and get stuck in on twitter and facebook and facebook groups, and also with new friends here in the real world, although I am not sure how much longer the Furniture shop will be there, because I fear we may have lost NFA, who set it up. A good man who did something when needed and most used it when the old cat went down, which is why he started it.
I do my occassional word walls over there were people can decide whether to read them or not.
I do feel I owe NFA to keep it running in case he is not dead, as I have limited admin powers, like getting rid of bird.
I think that’s the main reason I post there.
Just in case he is still alive in the Philipines.
My convoy was only small compared to the Canadians who are showing us how it’s done.
But I still remember the people cheering us on, on the sides of the roads.
There are very many parallels.
Media reactions, etc.
I may be wrong but I don’t think they’ll get Trudeau out.
He is a WEF plant, basically, as Klaus admits, ….”brags” might be a better word, and so he won’t be allowed to step down, this is a war, but the convoy will ultimately and has already been a success.
It depends on your definition of success. Saving the entire world from the tyranny of the Davos monsters, highly unlikely, but inspiring people and giving them confidence to fight, most definitely.
They won when they moved off and the first people cheered them on. It will probably all turn to shit but they have still won.
They have inspired similar protests world wide.
Bloody Australia doesn’t have any owner drivers left to speak of, so it wasn’t going to big here, and many of the trucks I saw were club plated.
The goal has to be to get the silent majority noisy.
What happens when the apartheid diktats are no more, in WA or anywhere else.
The same people that complied and approved will still be around – except there will be no way of telling the difference.
So far it’s been two years of winnowing.

Crosby Stills and Nash were some of the best harmonists ever, rivalled only by Simon and Garfunkel and the Beach Boys. Neil Young was and still is a hopeless whiny singer and his songs are woke, mournful and maudlin. I think he basically ruined CS&N. But I can almost forgive him because of this:
Southern Man live, extended version, all fucking magnificent 14 minutes of it.

A Whatthefucko?
I (regrettably) can top this, jupes.
Bringing my container shuttle out of North Quay about 2pm, I witnessed no less than 4 old farts on Vespas going full Quadrophenia past the vehicle landing wharf on Beach Street.
I was still clearing a 20kph temporary speed restriction over the rail bridge, so there was nothing I could do to escape swiftly.
Fortunately, it was still not as gay as Twilight…
Philippines, FFS. Where’s the pee………

Rickw,
Got wrapped around some one.
Made a comment about my man bun.
Plus I am old and technology is beyond me.
Are you saying that a vast majority of people who reside and vote in WA were born elsewhere?
Rex,
My other ride’s a Vespa.
Are you people not content with your sexuality?
Are you saying that a vast majority of people who reside and vote in WA were born elsewhere?
They have to be.
The iron ore reduces fertility.
Garfunkel’s kid went to my kid’s school. He did a concert for the school one evening but I didn’t think he was a good as Simon. He spent a decent part of the evening whining about Simon and how badly he treated him due to the split.
EvilElvis, I grew up there too. Sure, the population exploded with imports but there would be plenty of home grown tards padding out the numbers.
Bespoke,
Are you a hostie?
And what’s with the West Australian blood and soil thing? That is just weird.
Are you saying that a vast majority of people who reside and vote in WA were born elsewhere?
I’m not the one who insinuated a skewed demographic.
I’m pretty sure some of the corporate instaho’s may have legit lineage.
No no. Vespas are kind of cool. Think Gregory Peck on a Vespa dinking Audrey Hepburn. The bloke I saw was on an electric version of the type of scooter I had as a two year old.
No, Miss.

I am genuinely unsure of what you are saying.
I did some PPL hours before I moved out of home, Miss.
By the way, I’m not sure if I posted anything about it, but we got Malcolm Roberts to come to our protest and he didn’t hold back. Magnificent little bloke. Had a good chat to him about my concerns regards election integrity.
Just fast forward to Malcolm from memory around the 30 min mark.
JC,
Eyrie’s name is a bit of a give up.
The iron ore reduces fertility.
Not true, FTB. I have three male progeny and have spent most of my life around the stuff.

Nothing person and of course I’m cognizant of exceptions, but if you, Mr. Kimberley Kruiser and a couple of others are any example, trust me, you want to widen the DNA pool a bit and I’d stop complaining about outatowners if I were you.
EvilElvis, I grew up there too. Sure, the population exploded with imports but there would be plenty of home grown tards padding out the numbers.
I’m with you, Frank. Was just having a laugh. The tards are many.
A good word for Nowra. The young ones serving in shops are great, happy kids, they actually talk to you and don’t grunt. The fresh fish and meat market and the vege/deli is one of the best anywhere. Corner of Princes Hwy and Moss Street. The fish and meat market has so many differing varieties you could have something different every day for a year at least. The quality at both is amazing.
Canada
Health officials are hinting at ending COVID restrictions (and not because of the truckers)
Sure, it’s just a coincidence that they’re starting to climb down.
Yea I know. Who would guess even after being reminded every couple of hours. 🙂
Scooters force the rider into the same posture as that required to operate a pedestal toilet. Makes it hard to look properly cool.
I’ve no intention of offering you personal proof, JC, but yes, I am in fact female; happily totally biologically so, have been all my life, in possession of the appropriate chromosomal and hormonal composition and outward appearance of being female, without any need for surgical tinkering to create or maintain the fact of being female.

Are you talking to yourself on the Cat? WTF does that even mean, you dolt.
The question needs to be asked.
Bushkid
Take it easy. It wasn’t meant as a slight in anyway. I took your blog name as somehow indicative of a dude rather than a gal.
Sadly, only part of that is true, bespoke.
Aviation, yes, although not currently. Have done plenty of shooting in my lifetime, but a firearm in the vehicle – not any more. Nice thought though.
Mate had Vespa, I’m on the back, we pull up next to some girls to chat up. They laughed. He bought a motorbike. Pretty sure they still would’ve laughed. I used to be terrified of girls till I was 18.
After I retired early last year, I’ve was playing Bridge in a club regularly until the June lockdown. Even though the government has lifted the vax requirement I still can’t go back because the club itself is insisting on people being “double vaxxed”.
Today I got a glimpse of why that might be. I ran into someone who had I both partnered and played against quite a few times. She was coming opposite me on the footpath and gave me such a wide berth that she was more in danger of getting run over on the road than coming into contact with any of my germs. I might as well have been a leper. Absolutely brainwashed.
Definitely not taken amiss, JC! Just being a bit verbose at the end of the day with a Scotch under the belt. Waxing a tad lyrical, if you will.
I still feel like a kid, grew up in the bush, still live close enough to it and definitely work here. Hence the name.
Maybe you were just rubbish at Bridge?
No probs bushkid
Just looked back at that reply to you, JC.
Jeez, it did sound a bit pompous and like a member of the offenderati. Sorry about that, certainly didn’t mean it that way. Just being a bit verbose. Fell flat. Ah well, tomorrow’s another day.
Serendipitous
The incoherent word of the day.
Rode a Honda scooter because Stevens in Elizabeth St were out of Vespas. (Stevens now gone, following covid.)
The licence for a 50cc at the time was the same as for that of a 500 cc.
Gave it away after two crashes when a truck in Port Melbourne and then a car in Yarraville collected us. My father rode a DKW around Melbourne with me in a side car. Not cool, at the time.

Scanned through, as I was a bit occupied this arvo.
Terrible performance today. Just terrible. Someone said:
and there was not one – not one – Top Gun reference. And then, to make matters worse, the thread drifted to what and what is not gay. Nobody – not one single person – mentioned the volleyball scene in Top Gun as the epitome of gaiety. A missed segue.
Angry, but more disappointed.
JC, Yes, Peter Stevens no longer in that motor bike strip – maybe relocated, but they and all the others have gone, leaving a desolate strip.
I did a triathlon at Nowra.
Really nice people.
They were kind enough to wait until I finished.
Upticks.
It’s not the actual upticking, or even the numbers of upticks – dickless or not.
The heart of the matter is the uptick expectation. FOMO on upticks, as though one is entitled to be upticked at any given time.
When the upticks don’t come – at first it’s anger, then denial. I didn’t want your stupid upticks anyway. Upticking is dumb.
Bargaining is next. If someone else is upticked, it’s for something that I was indirectly involved in – so it’s sort of an upticking. Like an assist in basketball.
Finally, there is acceptance. I will never be upticked to the level at which I should be. This is the fault of others, not me, and I will move on from the entire tedious upticking discussion which I started in the first place.
Hard to pick one scene out of a movie which is 90 MINUTES OF SOLID GAY FROM GO TO WHOA!
Calling that volleyball scene gay is a highway to the dangerzone, pal.
Also: chicks really don’t like Archer. I polled females at work today.
Any woman who won’t date men who watch Archer is on the DL.
Just wow Franx.
I went to primary school with the younger bro but lost touch about a decade ago. I recall when the older bros started the store.
The store was an institution.
Hey.
Viper was not gay. He smoked in Jester’s office and everything. Plus, he deliberately went below the hard deck for that op.
Wait, wait. Forget I said anything.
Franx, Melbourne CBD is – how you say in English? – yes, is fucked I believe is the word.
But, hey, people will flock back to see street art (aka shitty graffiti), even if they have to run the gauntlet of begging junkies to see it.
They really will.
Amen.
Preach it. They’ll baulk when you bring home an ocelot, too.
Pass acknowledged and given.
But only because Audrey Hepburn…

Don’t mention the upticks.
I raised it earlier today but I think I got away with it.

President Donald J. Trump’s political committees have over $122,000,000 “Cash on Hand” after raising over $51,000,000 during the period between July 1st and December 31st, 2021.
President Trump’s continued and unprecedented pace of fundraising shows that the future of the Republican Party in 2022 and beyond remains, perhaps, the strongest in our Country’s history—the MAGA movement is here to stay! This massive fundraising accomplishment does not include the hundreds of millions of dollars raised by other candidates and organizations who use President Trump’s name, likeness, endorsement, and America First Agenda as a platform for their efforts, further strengthening the movement he began in 2016.
Taylor Budowich, Director of Communications for President Trump and Save America PAC, said, “President Donald J. Trump has built a political organization that continues to capture and define the future of the Republican Party. From the massive and unprecedented Save America Rallies, to these record-breaking fundraising numbers, there is no question that the MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN (MAGA!) wave is set to crash across the Midterms and carry forward all the way through 2024. In the history of our Country there has never been a more reliable or winning endorsement of candidates than that of President Trump. President Trump is incredibly well positioned to look beyond November as the need for his leadership has never been more important.”
Key Fundraising Numbers from Donald J. Trump’s Political Committees:
• All Committees: Over $122,000,000 “Cash on Hand”
• Total Raised: Over $51,000,000
• Average Donation: $31
• Total number of Donations: 1,631,648
• Percent of Donations under $200: 98.6%
• Save America PAC has contributed $1,350,000 to like-minded causes and endorsed candidates
The entities will file with the Federal Election Commission today for the reporting period of 7/1/21 through 12/31/21.
I gave you the first uptick even though it registered as 2, send money.
I have never watched Top Gun.
I just looked at the volleyball scene.
Is it all that gay?

Foxed-eared arseholes, every one of them… 🙂
I don’t think it’s the Wu Flu that saw Peter Stevens move out of the CBD. From memory, they left well before.
To be fair, it is no gayer than the rest of the movie.
Which is very gay.
Gayest movie of the twentieth century.
And, yes, I do know about the Village People movies.
Someone posted the other day they had a Yamaha racing bike in their shed.
At one stage I had one for a daily ride.

Why ‘Top Gun’ Features That ‘Soft Porn’ Volleyball Scene
Director Tony Scott didn’t choreograph the scene or even clearly plan out his shots. Instead, he went in with a broad concept.
“I didn’t have a vision of what I was doing other than just doing soft porn,” the director admitted on the Top Gun 30th anniversary DVD (via The Wrap). “I knew I had to show off all the guys, but I didn’t have a point of view, so I just shot the shit out of it. I got the guys to get all their gear off and their pants and sprayed them in baby oil.”
Scott’s theory was that female moviegoers would appreciate the well-toned bodies the same way male viewers ogled bikini-clad eye candy. His inspiration came from Bruce Weber, a popular fashion photographer.
Adding to the scene’s ridiculousness was Kenny Loggins’ “Playing With the Boys” – a poppy, cheesy affair that was a far cry from the singer’s other Top Gun contribution, the adrenaline-pumping “Danger Zone.”
Despite much mocking, the volleyball game has had its defenders. Rossovich, for one, believed the scene served a clear narrative purpose. “I used the scene to cement Slider’s bond with Iceman,” the actor explained. “I was holding him all the time, sticking to like glue almost in a weird way. Because we were teammates.”
Gay PHRASING.
Twilight.
Footloose.
Also, parts of Red Dawn.
JC, the Stevens people might be operating from the suburbs. Not sure what the entrepreneurial outlook is for motor bikes of the Vespa variety. Lots of silent electric killer bicycles in the cbd, rocketing on road and footpath, manic students at the handlebars, in a hurry to feed the overfed. But hope that the Stevens can continue.
You are talking about a film made about Navy pilots..
Without looking it up, I think Mr Cruise’s squeeze in Top Gun was Kelly McGillis.
Total pog.
I could live with the concept of gayness in Top Gun, but only for a) the aforementioned volleyball scene, and b) the capacity for McGillis to turn blokes gay.
Hideous.
Clot shot complication or coincidence?
Month after the shot my forearm broke out into a very “ viral” watery blistered rash.
By day 2 it was wrist to elbow and I’m thinking shingles.
Didn’t spread any further or get the pain normally associated with it though.
Itchy as anything and settled down with antihistamines after a week.
Bastard thing.
Sancho, cbd, how you said, in English, in the superlative.

I think from memory the son of one older brothers took over and he now runs it. There was Peter and Steven – hence Peter Stevens. The younger bro I grew up with was pushed out and he ran a motorcycle gear business called Monza Imports from what I last recall. The father – the old patriarch – lived to about 103.
A lie will travel half way around the World, before the truth has got its boots on.
The Canadian genocide was a lie.

The INSANE Origins of the “Mass Graves” Story
Feb 1, 2022
Lauren Southern
Meta level tongue in cheek trolling of the fanbase.
Top Gun was so masculinely gay it made a woman a lesbian.
Some of you know too much about Top Gun for me to be comfortable with.
Got distracted ; there are Roman ruins in the old port, under an apartment block near the hotel de ville but even though they are supposed to be open, they were not.
Then I popped into les augustines which is now Saint Victor’s in the care of the Jesuits it seems and with midday mass so I thought I would kill time til then and catch the navette after lunch.
Wandered across to the Bourse which is just a big shopping mall but with bonus ancient Greek and Roman ruins around
long dry harbour to which the museum of Marseille has been added.
They have the remains of four ancient Greek and Roman boats recovered from the harbour inside.
The area was a carpark for three Corbusier style high rises built ehind in the early 1950s, the shopping centre of more recent vintage , a bit more urban renewal of insalubrious accommodation but without the rounding up and internment of inhabitants that accompanied the destruction of the old port area.
Worth a visit if you’re in the area.
what not to do in Marseille even if unesco world heritage listed
President Donald J. Trump’s political committees have over $122,000,000 “Cash on Hand” after raising over $51,000,000 during the period between July 1st and December 31st, 2021.
Greatest grifter of all time.
Hedwig and the angry inch is pretty hard to beat for gayness.

The stories that are a part of families. The predictable and the unlikely, all there.
Shall check out Monza imports, if it’s a bike gear shop. There is one still there, mainly leathers, used to be run by people from India. A jaunt along Elizabeth street to lift the spirits.
But why should he? None of the MSM do, in fact opposing views are deemed unacceptable according to True Dough.
Indeed.
You’re only a month late, srr…
I don’t remember any Peter Stevens or Monza advertising lately in the motorbike magazines.
Greatest grifter of all time.
Dumbest comment of the day award.
All quite gay, it is true.
But not a patch on Top Gun for Olympic standard gayness.
Discussion last night, about what a pack of ladies front bottoms, Department of Veterans Affairs can be. I’m not denying that fact, but there’s a book been written, “The Repat Racket”, by one Malcolm Smith, outlining some of the shonkier claims made against DVA – a tap on the shoulder can leave a man a nervous wreck for life…a deceased veteran can have three widows…..
I’m not denying that Shonks have taken advantage of DVA.
However I have had dealings on my behalf and on behalf of others.
In their charter if their is any doubt it is to the benefit of the Veteran.
They should live up to that.
And they’re touchy bastards.
The assessors and tribunal members I mean.
And they still owe me 14 cents.
On 80s flicks.
Be on the lookout for Highlander fans in Foot-is-cray. The Hun:

Not to mention the bore water. Have a look at the walls and people’s cars.
You lot honestly paid attention to anything past the flying?
No wonder you’re all so maladjusted.
Anyway, regardless of how suspect you think Top Gun may be, it’s still orders of magnitude less gay than Twilight…
Southern Man live, extended version, all fucking magnificent 14 minutes of it.
Sorry, but I’m a “Sweet Home Alabama” guy.

Most gay of all is the stalled release of the Top Gun sequel.
Most gay.
Nah, this is southern music!
And this one I am saving for my younger daughter if she ever decides to get married.
Cheesy? Yes, absolutely. But so true about a father’s love. Well, mine anyway. And yes, it can still make me teary. Because even now I can’t believe it was 35 years ago when I held that little bundle and she looked up at me and actually smiled.
Oh, buggerit, I think I need to go to bed.
Anyone remember when singers used to just stand there and sing?
Sorry to hear about Glenn Wheatley always thought he got a raw deal, being imprisoned for tax evasion.

The Oz is doing some decent investigative work into the Administrative Appeals Tribunal.
They’ve done a couple of in depth pieces recently (one was almost word for word what Anthony Klan produced independently).
I look forward to them going into the Labor appointees to the AAT & their howler decisions.
So far it’s just been the Lib appointees.

They’re not going to let Boris get away with that party.
I’d like it if more of our cartoonists concentrated on the “exceptions” here. For weeks on end.
The Poms are more tenacious, bless them.
Great Juxtaposition!
1. CBS Mornings suggests that Joe Rogan is killing people with his discussion of Covid and Ivermectin.
2. New Hampshire lawmakers propose bill to allow pharmacists to issue Ivermectin without prescription!
On Wheatley’s prison sentence. It was the icing on the cake after bankruptcy and losing everything. I remember his wife, Gaynor, talking candidly of the shame of having the sheriffs come to the house – they took everything that wasn’t nailed down, including the children’s toys. Then the case and prison.
Sorry, but I am a Mr Crowley kind of guy.
Tax evasion? No, I practice tax avoision.
It’s a word, look it up!
There is no such thing as tax fraud, unless you’re referring to the scams relatives of high ATO officials were pulling.

I would like the Oz to conduct an investigation into the unsavoury Simon Holmes a Court.
Who or what is ‘Twilight’?
