Sure, but I’m commenting in response to your original comment.
And your comment was that about 10 days out from the 24/11/2007 Poll, Rose Jackson, as Newhouse’s campaign Manager, made comments reported by the ABC and others, that many Wentworth residents found objectionable.
Do you concede that Jackson’s comments lost votes for Newhouse?
Same scenario operated in Kooyong at the 2019 election where Burnside was a spoiler for the Liberals,
Yeah Ed, because Julian Burnside is such a solid conservative.

2. A vintage oil can guitar
3. A National
4. A straight acoustic
5. A three string shovel guitar, as in: made from a shovel.
6. A Fender
That’s me looking at the pics. I know as much about guitars as I do cars, which is not much. But it’s a fine range of interesting guitars.
I had a stepmother give me an acoustic as a birthday present once, it was a fine gift. I was 13. But we didn’t have a radio in the house. I didn’t know what music was, except in high school Music classes. We used to sing Beatles songs with me not knowing who the Beatles were, since we never had any radio music. I’m sad I never did the beastie justice. I learned “E”. Nothing else…
Cherry red is very nice.

You reckon there would be an angle on rebirthing those council supplied e scooters? There is a plague of them here in fetching shades of orange and purple. The batteries would have to worth something.
I don’t believe there’s much of a message for Morrison from the by-election results. By-elections are always precarious for an incumbent government and this government here in this state is now twelve years old. In Willoughby, Gladys was a very, very popular member and her forced retirement angered many residents. Tim James, who’s won Willoughby narrowly, was up against a strong independent.
Whilst they retained the seat, there was virtually no swing to Labor in Strathfield.
I think Perrottet should just dispense with all the Covid porn……..the restrictions, the mandates and the masks. I think he’d see his popularity surge. The problem with so many politicians is that they’re beholden to unelected bureaucrats….and this is the problem, not just in this country but across the western world.

Sally Capp! Gah! parachuted into the role after a nebulous claim booted the previous (very enthusiastic mayor. I hate to hear her talk, even when she’s describing a thriving CBD full of interesting happenings she just is utterly monotone and boring. It’s like she’s describing some tiny village in the UK where the most exciting thing to happen in the last 1000 years is someone painted a wall beige instead of white.
German industrial avant garde, Bruce. See also the likes of Einstürzende Neubauten.
Kraftwerk inspired them all.
Quite so. Once we entered into an Eisteddfod! Serious stuff. In Grafton, two hours away by bus. Our school had a folk bunch, which included me, and we also had a rock band. There were only three acts in our section. Us wet folkish people, them rockish people and someone from another school that I can’t remember. I think they may’ve been a classical orchestra of about two dozen kids. It was an eclectic grouping of “everything else not otherwise grouped”.
Us folk bunch came last out of the three. Can’t recall what we sang. I’m not sure where our rock band came, they were heavily influenced by Skyhooks at the time and threw Cheezles into the crowd (who, being a bunch of bored high schoolers, had no idea what was going on). They did better than us. It was the times.
I managed to make several errors today.

Speaking of the things, K.D. how did you go with dropping the tank of fuel?
I texted the diesel mech in the family, reckons a third of a tank you are better to drop it and refill. If it is in the fuel lines will need a purge. So you might be lucky there as he said diesel is a heavier fluid.

Bartlett: … Well … I … I … suppose you’re the sort of woman who … also believes the moon landing was a conspiracy.
Kari: Oh my goodness! So you’re masking your children? Is that your way of not answering?

So glad you’re okay. You were a political prisoner. Imagine that, Australia now has political prisoners.
Pauline was a political prisoner- late 90s or early 2000s.
“Pauline was a political prisoner- late 90s or early 2000s.”
Yes. Thanks to John Howard and Tony Abbott.
Well done duk! Champion.
To give an idea of crowd numbers I think it was about 5km of marchers packed fairly tightly over 4 to 5 lanes of traffic (there were also plenty of stragglers and a second wave came later). The distance from new parliament house to Commonwealth park is around 2.5k and there would have *easily* been enough for two lots of this.
100k bare minimum. 300k is probably optimistic but I don’t know the size of the second wave.
Yes the actions of those two in regards to Pauline really eliminates any respect you might have had for them. Disgusting, despicable and bullying.
Something else I should add to the mystery of the $11k power bill – in WA, if you have a Commonwealth healthcare concession card (which this woman no doubt does), you get a $45 credit per two-monthly billing cycle PLUS a dependent child rebate of around $25 per kid. So this woman starts every billing cycle over $200 in the green. Tell me again how you run up an $11k power bill? Something doesn’t seem right.
How many employers will find themselves in that group. How many businesses will survive lengthy, expensive and ongoing compensation claims? The insurance companies are already saying that they aren’t liable as the participants were all aware that it was an experimental program.

Cassie was it you that mentioned Patrick Coffin to me a while ago?
Anyways, here’s his latest. It is a well argued and reasoned theory, one of the best I’ve seen. I shy away from those who carry on and call Francis the ”anti-Christ” etc , so Coffin’s ”Seven pieces of evidence that Francis is anti-pope” is a refreshing point of view without any histrionics, something to ponder on the points he makes and questions he asks.
[Note that ”anti-pope” is not the same as anti-Christ].

We’ve had quite a few Political Prisoners now, going back decades.
One, or rather two of the worst was when, ‘good ol’, we look after our Brothers’, VicPol, ignored the powers they didn’t have & went to NSW to arrest two NSW residents who didn’t show up to yet more VCAT persecution.
They were then gaoled for months.
It was one of the earlier great abuses of powers that had legal scholars warning that if they (VCAT & VicPol), got away with it, no one would be safe.
Nobody cared because the people were ‘conspiracy theorists’, and not caring about them did mean that no ones been safe since.

Sorry – it wasn’t a prediction, I just applied history to the current outlook in Europe for a scenario.
It’s a bit like dominoes falling and trying to work out where the lines diverge.

I’ve asked her to go and get it checked.
Last time she went to the hospital they put her in quarantine for 3 days despite there being no cases in WA.
Detention for six days is one thing ; detention in isolation for six days and nights surrounded by close walls and the descending presence of oppression is something else. Which is what flyingduk experienced, and which is why he expressed grave concerns for the practice of ‘detention’ as a ‘health’ measure.
Why do we even have BA (Comms) courses? More taxpayers’ hard earned down the toilet.
Surprising that they let her anywhere near a child abduction story after this fuck up.
Ah yes, the now legendary “Lebanon Child Abduction Disaster”. Ozzie j’ismists soaking themselves in glory again.
Not a patch on this regrettable incident, though, which was later magnificently essayed in the hard hitting documentary series “Frontline”.
The whole flyingduk episode reeks of wrongful arrest and detention.
What she needs is a D-Dimer test for micro-clots. It must be done within a week of injection.

That whole fuckup was down to 60 Minutes – the original plan was for those children to be taken down to the harbor, and put aboard a cabin cruiser to Cyprus. Instead, the 60 Minutes team kept everyone standing about because they wanted to photograph the re union of the mother and her children. They then wanted footage of the mother ringing her husband to say that the children were with her – the Lebanese cops traced the call, and the rest is history.
The 60 Minutes team were released on bail – they flew home to Australia, drinking champagne in business class, while the team that was hired to “snatch” the children stayed in the tronk in Beirut.
They should never have been imposed in the first place.
Fat Tony.

The mother’s ex-husband belongs to the most prominent Shiite family in Lebanon.
@ Winston-
Prediction / Looking for the history to rhyme. Doesn’t matter.
I think it is quite accurate and/or highly likely. And so did Grigory, given his effort to try and spoil things.
34 seconds, Cohenite.
A lot of very unhappy people about. A glib apology is not going to undo the loss of family, isolated death of loved ones and all the other horror stories. There has already been two self immolations on the streets in Melbourne, the political class must be at least a bit nervous about the types that would rather do it to them instead of themselves. The pool of likely takers would be pretty big by now.
Just watched the entire “interview” between that deep-voiced pillock at 60 minutes & Kari Lake.
Oh my Lordy Lordy Lordy…… that’s gotta be the funniest thing I’ve seen in ages.
Favourite quote:
Kari Lake to Liam Bartlett: “You make the people at CNN look almost respectable”
Snork snork snorkitty snork!
Sancho Panzer:
Didn’t you just buy a Tesla 3?
Liam was a Perth newsreader.
We are sorry.
Says a lot about the legacy media that it is necessary for the interviewee to have her own crew film the interview. I wonder if sixty minutes will put any of that to air. It would take Academy Award winning editing to make Kari look dumb and Bartlett look smart after that train wreck.
Having just seen Kari Lake vs. Liam Bartlett, I can only say that I just saw Bartlett’s Grigs-level lack of self-awareness and irony put on public display for the whole world to see.
I am embarrassed for my country, if that is the true calibre of the people representing us to potential future international political figures.
It seems to be a standard and necessary defensive (counter-offensive?) tactic for right-leaning folks these days.
I’ve seen Avi do it, amongst others.
Such is the power of the audio-visual cut…
“I’ve seen Avi do it, amongst others.”
Yep…Tommy Robinson’s done it too.
Reading the news on the A.B.C….

I don’t think it can be ruled out.
Well, he is a very pedestrian figure.
I think Bartlett was on Ch 9 then got poached to 60 Minutes without reaching any great heights. I think he was in my B Ec year at UWA in the mid to late 80s before he was famous.
I managed to maintain my obscurity.
So Bartlett reached the giddy heights of sixty minutes while you were reduced to slumming it on this televisual feast, eh Bear?
Indolent:
D Dimers would be the second thing after the ECG – along with CE’s and the rest of the bloods.
I think TFM has access to an ecg machine and can read them, then convince mum to get her arse to A&E.
She sounds like my mum – wouldn’t want people to worry about her.
I still remember my mum ringing me one saturday night to let me know that she was going to be out with the Stroke Club during Sunday so not to ring her for the Sunday chat.
She wasn’t aware the IMED pump she was attached to in ICU was beeping and I cottoned on pretty quick.
Bluddee hell – it’s even worse than I thought – you will never live this down, ursine one …
H B Bear speechless over ALPBC funding
Didn’t the guy in the bear suit get busted for something unsavoury in the end?
I didn’t know many guys in my Ecoms year. One year before the Easter break I asked one guy what he was doing? “Playing footy” “Oh, who for?” “The Eagles”. Turns out it was Paul Peos who later gained notoriety as a player manager, though never quite on a Ricky Nixon scale. I think I just went down south for a surf as usual.
No floristry discussions, I’m afraid. Lady Keno spat in my face as well.
Rockdoctor at 9.16:
I haven’t done anything with it RD. Because I drove the fucking thing for 20 minutes after putting the (ahem) in the wrong (ahem) it has to be in the lines, especially as the tank was almost dry when I put it in.
I’m resigned to towing it on Monday and having the full purge done. The insurance punters told me to go fuck myself as well, which I expected.
Cassie, at the page turn:
I didn’t know srrrsrss was a miner.
Cue tunnel jokes. Also, cue ‘miner/minor’ and pizza-related REEEEEEEEEE activity.
To be fair Bartlett was already a Perthonality before he was poached by 60 Minutes which was already off its highs. He didn’t get put in a cupboard though.
The suicide reduction is interesting. DOT will understand this, most won’t so don’t bother. ECT is extremely effective for otherwise treatment resistant depression. The response is rapid. I used to think ECT was simply about massive electron donation but that would lead to massive reductive stress. So one day I looked for BDNF implications and sure enough ECT markedly boosted BDNF concentrations. In an animal model of depression a BDNF infusion into the hippocampus rapidly reduced depressive like behaviors. The hippocampus is known to shrink in some cases of depression and also the major recipient of new neurons from the dentate gyrus, one of two regions in the CNS that produce new neurons. That’s important because BDNF promotes neurite outgrowth and has remarkable neuroprotective properties. The loss of neurogenesis and neurite outgrowth happens with depression and insufficient BDNF. The only way to boost BDNF is exercise.
The ECT response then is the opposite of what I originally thought. ECT drives a hormetic response thereby initiating transcription of BDNF. Perhaps, unfortunately my analysis has too much of the availability heuristic about it so I remain skeptical. The follow up to this which I will do at some point in my lazy life is the immunologic implications of ECT and subsequent BDNF. Oh look …

Kari took sixty seconds to demolish 60 minutes.
Sitting on the verandah, overlooking the Avon Valley, drinking good Scotch – Limeburners – and reading a good book is a worthy pass-time for a self funded retiree.
Austen Tayshus got it right back in the day – 38 minutes of bull sh*t and 22 minutes of f*cking ads.
The only, and I mean only way for 60 Fuckups to regain its credibility is to hire a dodgy lawyer who’s only just been released from jail as a producer, and then gin up a ‘Where is Peter Falconio’ segment with spooky music and dark hints about people knowing who the real killer is.
Wasn’t he the lawyer who defended (spit) fvcking (spit) Alan (spit) Bond (spit?)
you’re not exactly a bong-dodger are you John H ?
