“Jane” is a Veterinary surgeon with over 20 years experience dealing with animals and animal husbandry. Not only that, she lives in country Victoria and also volunteers in Fauna rescue and wildlife rehabilitation on her rural property south of Ballarat. On Feb 5th whilst filling water troughs for her horses at approximately 11.30am, Jane had a sighting on her property that would challenge what she knew about the existing fauna of her local area. There are neighbours who also have seen and heard unusual animals and also suffered stock losses and discovered carcasses that have been preyed upon in not “typical” ways. WARNING This video contains some images of mutilated sheep that may be distressing for some viewers. Viewer discretion is recommended.

‘bern.
I can’t imagine sitting through a series of MAFS.
But you can occasionally watch a snippet and you can see what was on the whiteboard at the Producers Meetings.
This year I think it included “Racism” and “Fertility Challenges for Working Women”.
One bint in particular is upset because:-
(a) she suddenly discovered she wanted babies at age 36; and
(b) the bloke she has known for five minutes “won’t commit”.
Totally went off her nut.
Mrs Panzer said, “Oh boy. I think she has been really hopping into the hormonal fertility drugs.”

Apparently there’s a movie in the works which the Proud Boys will be part of the subject matter.
It’s total fiction, but Brad Pitt is attached to play Gavin McInnes.
Even though he’ll be torched in the movie, Gavin is pretty chuffed about Pitt playing him.

Don’t have a link, but apparently Sarah Ferguson is in the frame to replace Leigh Sales at the 7.30 Report.

Sarah Ferguson – wasn’t there footage of the live cattle trade to Indonesia, that cost Australian agriculture the odd few hundred million quid, and said footage was later found to be brought and paid for?

In combination with the first video which justifies a charge of vehicular assault can now be added common assault and destruction of private property. A ticket for neg driving doesn’t cut it. There are also civil suits the victim can pursue.

Truth-telling key step on path to Queensland’s treaty with Indigenous people

South African style “truth-­telling” hearings are part of a plan being put to Queensland parliament this month in the quest for a path towards a treaty between the state and its Indigenous communities.

Among considerations, which have been given input from Indigenous people throughout Queensland, is whether to run the truth-telling process through formal inquiry-style public hearings or by more informal submissions.

Formal hearings could be conducted by a commission with the power to compel witnesses and documents, take evidence, conduct research and report back to the parliament.

The proposed plans will be put before state cabinet in the next few weeks.

Queensland started discussions about a proposed treaty in 2019, the third state to do so, and last year set up a treaty advancement committee that completed a report in October setting out a path to negotiate with Indigenous people on a treaty.

In its most recent budget, the Palaszczuk government established a $300m Path to Treaty Fund to facilitate the process, which could take several years.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Partnerships Minister Craig Crawford said Queensland was well-advanced on its treaty process compared to other states and was behind only Victoria.

“(The advancement committee report) really talks about what the truth-telling process for Queensland should look like, and how we should implement that,” Mr Crawford said.

“It gives us really clear recommendations around what the next two to three years of work looks like for Queensland. These … will be considered by cabinet over the coming weeks.”

Mr Crawford said the truth-telling component was critical as a starting point from which to negotiate a treaty with Queensland’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island people.

He said it was possible there could be multiple treaties within each state.

“I think the commonwealth will need to have a treaty at some point, but I think individual states need to have treaties with their peoples,” he said.

“We’re quite mindful that we’ve got Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders people, two very distinct cultures, in this state and they may want separate treaties.

“Different areas may want different treaties – desert people might want a different treaty to rainforest people, and so on.”

Proponents of formalised commission hearings include Aboriginal academics Jackie Huggins and Mick Gooda, who are on the treaty advancement committee.

There have previously been accusations from some members of the Indigenous community, including the Queensland Indigenous Labor Network, which had initially pushed the treaty, that the process had been “hijacked” by personal and political agendas.

The step closer towards the treaty comes as people in Hope Vale celebrate the 14-year anniversary of the national apology to Indigenous people, which is regarded as an essential precursor to the treaty process.

Guugu Yimithirr elder and Stolen Generation survivor Ella Woibo, 88, and her husband Frank, 93, who live in Hope Vale, north of Cooktown, hoped a treaty could lead to a better future for their people. Ms Woibo was separated from her family, put in a dormitory and moved south to Woorabinda to work.

“I cried my heart out,” she said. It’s a different story for the town’s current youth who have grown up in Hope Vale with their families. Some, including two of her great-grandchildren, have joined the town’s famed Barefoot Ballerinas from the Cape York Aboriginal Australian Academy.

Ms Woibo said she welcomed the 2008 national apology and the prospect of a better future for Indigenous Australians.

The South African “Truth telling hearings” became such an exercise in “White bashing” that Arch Bishop Desmond Tutu was threatening to resign unless the Commission investigated the rope, and sexual abuse of female ANC members, in the camps in Mozambique….

vehicular assault

Understand that I am not NOT backing this spastic woman.

Happy to be corrected, but I will assert that ‘vehicular assault’ does not exist in this country. ‘Destruction of private property’ is called criminal damage in Australia, and requires intent to cause the damage to be proved. Same with common assault – it requires intent to be proved beyond a reasonable doubt. Neither will get near it because Karen will squeal that she was trying to drive away and it cannot be definitively proved otherwise.

The only thing that can be proved is she’s a shit driver. Yes it is selective prosecution when compared to duk. No I am not happy about it, but geez.

Run the civil suits, sure.

I went to midday mass here in catalunya and not surprisingly it was in Catalan.
I thought the qr codes taped to the pews were covid related but on second thoughts I scanned and they were the mass in the language, which is a little bit Spanish, a little bit French and a little bit neither but followable.

Now having lunch, included is a basket with piece of white bread toast, a clove of garlic, a whole tomato, packets of salt and olive oil on the side. I gather one is supposed to assemble something.

1. “Rise and grind” isn’t the type of pick me up you’re thinking of, the laydee in question has an OnlyFans account…

2. Like I said elsewhere:

The lamest form of terrorism, but terrorism nonetheless.

See cl. 83.4 of the Criminal Code.

Interference with political rights and duties – a maximum penalty of up to three years imprisonment.

She’s actually in deep shit if she has urged others to do so, then it is a no bullshit terrorism offence. I would commend her to seek qualified advice ASAP.

Bruce O’Newk:

Roger (and Cassie) – please keep in mind that Putin has no God whatsoever, except perhaps himself. He does seem to have a yearning to recreate Tsarist Russia to some extent. He is getting old. And that is the key to these analyses. He is getting old. Time is running out, and the domestic political situation in Russia isn’t great for him. Old tyrants are worse than most.

Otherwise known in political circles as “Old Man in a Hurry”.

So pray tell, why were NATO counties in Afghanistan?

Because NATO is a collective defence alliance. Collective defence means that an attack against one Ally is considered as an attack against all Allies.

Article 5

“The Parties agree that an armed attack against one or more of them in Europe or North America shall be considered an attack against them all and consequently they agree that, if such an armed attack occurs, each of them, in exercise of the right of individual or collective self-defence recognized by Article 51 of the Charter of the United Nations, will assist the Party or Parties so attacked by taking forthwith, individually and in concert with the other Parties, such action as it deems necessary, including the use of armed force, to restore and maintain the security of the North Atlantic area.

The question of why the action went on long enough to need them is another topic. The war was won by Feb 2002, but the western politicians couldn’t stomach turning the place over to the Northern Alliance Warlords (who were the only ones with any chance of actually governing the place) so they decided to recreate the place in the image of the west. Nation building is the rediculous term they used for pissing away blood, treasure, and national respect for the next 12 years.

That’s true of the first vid, KD.
The second vid could clearly be enough evidence for her to be charged with assault.
But I wouldn’t be jumping to conclusions even if they don’t prosecute that – chicks do worse things in the queues at night clubs on Saturday nights.

@doverobeach:

“Still, if everything is structured against China, why has the drumbeat been consistently against Russia, why is NATO encrouching on the Russian border, and why are another Olympic Games being held in China?”

“Encroaching”??

Could it be that China long ago bought a vast swathe of churnalists and pollie-muppets to do its bidding? Though, given the political leanings of said individuals, a bulk-buy could be had for a pittance.

Q. How do you tell an “honest ” politician?

A. When they are bought, they STAY bought”.
