This was brought up the other day, after someone asked if there was a bigger nanny state than the one currently operating in this wide brown land. The realistic answer is that almost everywhere is a bigger shit pit and/or nanny state than Australia, despite the colossal arrogance and dictatorial attitude of its leaders (and police forces) over the last couple of years.
No matter what you’re doing – unless you go well out of your way to attract attention, the jacks will generally not touch you. Nobody gets shot in the street* by ‘authorities’ for voicing a political opinion other than the approved one^. If the power goes out, very few people will freeze to death as opposed to almost everybody in quite a few other countries.
It’s generally warm(ish). Hardly anyone starves to death. We do not have tanks in the streets or cholera killing infants.
Last week when the discussion wandered back to ‘where would you go?’, very few countries were mentioned and even those came with conditions – ‘if you could put up with X and Y then country Z might be all right’.
The problem is real, though – and it’s that the place could be 100 times better than it already is if it weren’t for the mincing, incompetent fuckwits apparently doing their best to run it into the ground, like a 17 year old with keys to a Porsche Cayenne.

While I know this move will get mixed reviews here, it is worth mentioning.

The comments below this article are interesting. They include several from people who say that they are not fans of Austen (usually preferring the Brontes) but nevertheless regard her as vastly superior to Toni Morrison. I’ve read a bit of Morrison, and while s/he (‘fraid so) is a talented and engaging writer, s/he’s no Austen or Bronte.
More significant is the blatant takeover of course content generally by those tedious ideologues. Apart from anything else, what could be more boring than them reciting their cliches about all their favourite ‘isms’ for a whole semester or year?
Even KD got it.
And he can be “a bit slow on the uptake” at times.

Austen was disapproving.
Do you remember anything about this? Cohenite might know.
Sadly correct. It took me almost two years to sort out the Roger Moore thing.

Assistant Commissioner Martin Dole ‘had family ties’ to Kumanjayi Walker
Did she Calli? Too subtle for me, I though it only concerns about income from their west Indian holdings that was ultimately resolved satisfactorily.
If Austen is to be tossed for having sugar in her tea then every person in the UK is guilty guilty guilty.
A compelling argument – not.
If it was taken to its logical conclusion, every single author of the day would be cancelled.
Funny how they picked a female author, and one who had much to say about the ridiculous social mores of the time, particularly as they affected women. She was also scathing of hypocrites in the clergy and the upper echelons of the class structure.
It’s as if the clowns that made the decision haven’t ready any of her books. Probably haven’t – they are difficult for low IQ types.
A mate of mines name is Ken.
He told his kids he invented Keno.
Those kids will end up like the Flanders kids when Ned didn’t use enough chilli.
Rosie, that was definitely the impression I had. Must re-read and make sure. It was purely incidental to the main story line, and slipped by without a second glance.
Austin was a clergyman’s daughter, he had his living and after his death and the end of his pension she moved with her mother to increasingly poorer lodgings until one of her wealthier brothers took them in, iirc.
Students of course could simply refuse to take the replacement course on offer.
And Winston, my deepest condolences. There can’t be any more to say.
The difference between Fanny? and the others seemed only that she was interested in a little more that who wore what and who had this income and who was flirting with who etc.
Amazing how the Left grabs onto something out of nowhere then turns it into inerrant doctrine.
Feminist Columnist Claims No One Can Define What a Woman Is (Daniel Greenfield, 7 Apr)
A feminist who doesn’t know what a woman is is like a mountaineer who doesn’t know what a mountain is. All I know is the mountains of stupid are getting higher and higher.
It sounds like Ray from the pub who confronted ScoMo is a blowhard of enormous proportions.
I reckon the punters at the pub would have been gee-ing him up to have a crack.
The Oz reports this.
“Ray … was very upset about what was a very complicated case. And it was a complicated case involving iCare.
“It was involving immigration issues and also involving income definitions under the pension regime.”
Please be a whinging pom.
Or have a mail order bride.
But she criticises from within the English upper class, that’s enough to cancel her.
Doesn’t matter, she’s still enormously popular because much of what she says about how people behave is timeless.
Never the slightest bit tempted to read Morrison.
Or see a Morrison movie.
Sincerest condolences Winston.
I’m not paywalled on the Oz bern, but on the strength of the teaser:
This would be the grandparents of Walker’s 15 year old girlfriend he repeatedly flogged.
Dole used to – apparently- work in Alice Springs and the surrounding communities in past years. As a green young chap the grandparents probably gave the bloke some mail on things like staying away from men and women’s ceremony, their funeral etiquette – ie, who sits where in the cars afterwards, how skin groups work with marriage and so on.
If Dole was actually indig he would have become ‘my little nephew’ or ‘my little brother’, and thus responsible for handing out coin to the grandparents. According to traditional ways, dating back several million years.
You just know some poor journo got shackled to Ray for several hours, and had to feed him schooners while Ray poured out the reason for his tirade – which would have obviously included his entire life story, every perceived negative aspect of his life, various bin and nature strip problems with the Council, his local member, the quality of mashed spuds at the local RSL seniors’ buffet, tax, and the damn kids these days what with their long hair and rock ‘n’ roll.
I half thought the article was saying Dole might have been the father.
But he’s far too young for that to be the case.
After years of threatens, George Christensen has resigned from the LNP. Convenient that he’s retiring and that it’s two minutes to midnight…the election being at midnight. Christensen should have resigned years ago but I guess he lacked the balls.
Just Googled “Mansfield Park slavery” and up comes a stack of references to both the book, the times and Austen.
As I said, I haven’t read the thing for at least thirty years. But others have, obviously. 😀
Christensen should have resigned years ago but I guess he lacked the balls.

“It sounds like Ray from the pub who confronted ScoMo is a blowhard of enormous proportions.
I reckon the punters at the pub would have been gee-ing him up to have a crack.”
Agree. I watched Ray confront the PM and he was an aggressive and rude little man. Whilst I have no love for the PM, he handled Ray very well.
I think Joe Hockey was a lazy treasurer who contributed to the Abbott government’s malaise. He didn’t have Abbott’s back.
He didn’t call him a “silly old bugger” in the style of Saint Bob of the Dregs?
I’m shocked!

Last week the female nominee to the US Supreme Court refused to define what a woman is…saying that she’s not a biologist. Here in Oz this week here we’ve seen “Professor” Brendan Murphy, a so called doctor of medicine, refuse to define what a woman is, saying it’s complicated. We’ve recently seen the Disney Corporation proudly identify itself as “queer” and deliberately try to interfere in the governance of Florida. Today I read that Jane Austin has been cancelled.
When will this madness end?
I smell revenge, like CFW’s spray. While the timing is unfortunate for the Libs it is also the correct timing to illuminate the Photios stinkies of the fact that they are killing the party, which they are.
Same in the US.

The Libs and the GOP elites really really don’t like the crude rude voters who tiredly vote for them. Well after this Federal election there’ll be a lot fewer Libs. It’d be nice if the wet vampires sucking the life out of the party will get booted in the wash up, but sadly that seems unlikely.
I haven’t read Mansfield Park for many years, calli, and my books are in storage. I don’t know the answer to your question.
But, I was amused to read that Jane was excoriated for having sugar in her tea. These people are so historically ignorant that they missed the part about tea itself being a major product of the British Empire.
Not that ignorance has ever held them back. Speaking of which …
Whoever said above that she wrote from an upper class perspective is wrong about both her personal circumstances and the people she wrote about.
Sigh.

Oh wait.
Whatever Johanna, Austen wrote about what she knew, as most of the world’s best novelists do.
One of her brothers was adopted by a wealthy childless couple, something explored in another novel, another was an admiral and as she was the daughter of clergyman she also knew how that class of person interacted with those in a position to grant a living.
In fact Fanny marries Crawford’s second son who is granted such a living by his father.
Well that’s good, because if you can’t convince your own son not to ‘submit to tyRanny’ you won’t convince anonymous internet people.
I hope the poor bloke gets all the wordwalls as well. He could stuff them into his wall cavities, because insulation ain’t cheap.
Sorry that should have been two brothers became admirals.
“Jane Austen’s parents, George (1731–1805), an Anglican rector, and his wife Cassandra (1739–1827), were members of the landed gentry.[1] George was descended from wool manufacturers who had risen to the lower ranks of the gentry,[2][3] and Cassandra was a member of the aristocratic Leigh family”

The class structure was so finely attuned in Austen’s time. There were clergy and clergy, eldest sons, younger sons, and a host of daughters to dispose of. Everyone had a defined place in society’s pecking order.
And…trade! God forbid! Jane has some fun with that in P&P.
Vestiges of it still exist. Although Cunard would not knock back my filthy lucre should I choose to blow some serious coin for Grills Class. 😀

If we were smart about self defence (but when have we been smart lately?), we’d re-institute national service and have swiss-style model of an automatic rifle in every house.
Yes – this opens us up to the Ukraine problem of every civilian being a potential target, but there really is no other practical way to defend this country other than by relying on a big brother, or defeating an enemy by exploiting the long supply chain from the invader’s homeland and guerrilla warfare.

It won’t end, it has to be finished off.
Mission accomplished.
I understand people visit here at certain times and don’t read everything posted.
I keep reading people asking why is struth doing this?
Why is he behaving this way?
I have answered time and again.
Look in your own backyard.
You might deserve it.
NOOOOO….not you, the hero who took the jab so children didn’t starve.
The Truth is you’re in debt , in over your heads keeping up with the Jones’s and wouldn’t dare contemplate losing a job for your nation.
Well you are special , after all.
Let other people do it.
You’re not going to lose what you’re busy paying off.
Well , millions of people did.
This is why the hospital system is falling apart, for example.
Because thousands of Nurses did.
Actual special people.
Millions did.
And because you not only participate in this segregation for work, but also for pleasure, flashing your good Nazi passes around, going overseas on holidays (which many here said they would never do….they’re just getting the jab because they really are sacared of a virus that kills nobody) you empower our enemy and prolong our fight against them.
What I have written above is fact.
Truths.
Now, here’s old struthy here, who got mocked constantly for even mentioning the WEF, mentioning the jabs will kill and mentioning it will come with a passport.
All came true, and much more that I was trying to get through to absolute cowards lost to the propaganda….calling me a nanna killer and a tin foil hat wearing conspiracy theorist.
If you want to know why I’m giving you the shits, look at your own behaviour from March 2020 onwards.
It’s just all coming back to bite you on the arse.
Of course your opposed to hearing it.
The mental cases losing their shit was so over the top I left the blog for a year, only returning when the cracks started to appear, and people started seeing some of the truth.
Needless to say I felt quite ashamed of many here, and their behaviour, like Natafan (she’s always a good example of what not to be) but also ashamed of myself.
I had believed I’d been chatting for some years previous to a blog full of right wingers.
A bit silly of me.
Not people who took the very first opportunity to raise the right arm and goose step.
So, I am obviously not here to win people over.
I’m not here to make friends.
Your behaviour has been putrid and guess what………….we also told you that it wouldn’t end when you took the two jabs.
So the funny thing is, while you’ve destroyed my life and millions of other people’s lives by complying over the last two years,…and you did……if no one complied this would be over by now…… you are still going to have to resist like you should have done anyway, or allow them to jab you and your families to death.
You achieved nothing except empowering tyrants out to kill you.
So fuck you.
And then after all that you get on this blog talking about any other subject to try and forget what you have done, and get highly indignant when somebody keeps bursting your denialist bubble.
Hope that helps Gabor.

Saw a clip of Malcolm Roberts questioning Brendan Murphy in a committee hearing.
One point to come out was Murphy saying in 44% of the VIC aged care Covid deaths Covid was incidental and other factors were actual cause. Anybody who has been paying attention would not be surprised by that but seems the press never report it. The press reinforce the Government scare campaign.
Roberts got stuck into Murphy for not providing information to the committee despite saying he would.
One question he wants answer to is how many deaths in aged care within a month of vaccine.
Talking of scare campaign a new variant is known as Frankenstein!
rosie, if you think that clergy and military men were ‘upper class’ in the C18th, you need to do some remedial reading.
The upper class were those related to royalty, and hereditary peers of the senior kind. Dukes, Earls, that kind of thing.

“rosie, if you think that clergy and military men were ‘upper class’ in the C18th, you need to do some remedial reading.”
Actually Johanna, Rosie is right. The younger sons of the British “upper class”, that is the aristocracy, did enter the military and clergy. That was their sole career option. There was no other option due to the nature of the primogeniture system in the British class system. The first born son inherited everything.

Upper classes, gentry, that kind of thing.
The days when we were a culturally largely homogenous country with a generally patriotic citizenry are long gone. There are too many households where the presence of an automatic weapon would present a positive danger to the security of others for this to be contemplated (even the Swiss system doesn’t work that way, iirc).
An active, properly trained citizen’s reserve would be another matter.

When I said “there were clergy and clergy”, there was a distinct pecking order within the Church of England.
A sliding scale based on the church hierarchy, the value of patrons and “livings”, the class background of the clergyman. Just being a sprog of clergy, unless you grew up in the cathedral close, didn’t catapult you into a higher rung in the order.
But you might…just might…marry well.
Also…a lot of the “gentry” weren’t wealthy.
The British navy was open to the lower classes and they could rise up. James Cook was an example of this. The British army was much more rigid in terms of class structure.

War is war, Cats. People die. And always miserably.
It interests me that nobody seems to be as upset on behalf of all the Georgians who got pushed around and carved up in almost exactly the same way by Vlad Bae and his goons in 2008.

JC and the little gang of sneerers coming out against those who have policies that are better than their Australian destroying WEF globalist Liberals who must be keeping them on a retainer…….surely…. who have destroyed the joint, at war with the people, taking 26 million people hostage and killing people, even cricket stars by mandating jabs.
That’s right, Clive’s an idiot!
A leaked briefing from the Australian Labor Party shows how they’re planning to approach the upcoming federal campaign.

I’ve never said that you low rent lying redneck.
I’ve always called Clivo a big fat idiot.
Stop lying.
Printing money…..there’s your answer say the socialist Liberals doing what every socialist revolution did before them, print money.
Problem solved because they’re stupid?
Believe that and we know who’s stupid.

at which time they go back to court.

McClown looks bored shitless during Albo press conference:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ec9ug5yksUQ
Looking down the street, across Albo’s shoulder, rubbing his eyes, fixing his suit… what’s going on there???
He’s bathing in Albo’s charisma.
McGowan is distancing himself – he’ d rather be anywhere else.
In Petulant Fists of Fury news:
MEPs demand full embargo on Russian imports of oil, coal, nuclear fuel and gas
“accompanied by a plan to ensure the EU’s security of energy supply”
Obviously, you snap your fingers and, bazingo, there’s your energy supply – replacing something that took 30 years and €tn+ to set up.
Accompanied by a strategy to “roll back sanctions in case Russia takes steps towards restoring Ukraine’s independence…”
Putin will be pissing himself – laughing…
This is an excellent question to ask every candidate this election: how do you define a woman?
The answers will quickly determine sanity, courage and integrity.
My two cents’ worth.. I don’t think McClown likes Albo. It’s very clear from his body language that he’s not comfortable being on screen with him. That, and the fact that he strangely decided to do a presser with Scomo four weeks ago when Albo was also in town (didn’t do anything with Albo other than a quick Zoom)…
It’s somewhat of a comfort to know Australia isn’t the only place deeply mired in fuckwittery.
Stick to practicing gear changes and engine braking , you complete imbecile. Stop talking about economics.
From Net Zero:
Net Zero Watch has branded the government’s energy security strategy an exercise in magical thinking and accused Boris Johnson of being in denial of the severity of the energy cost crisis.

Thanks Delta A, it is a shit situation not being helped by the Zombie Virus travel bans and familial discord.
I actually didn’t want to let anyone know, but sometimes things just come out when you don’t think they will.
Brussels is the Golden Cage of Fuckwittery.
As it happens, 513 MEP’s collective wrath has approximately 0.0 impact on European energy and security decisions. One of the few assumptions the Poot seems to have picked correctly on his Big Adventure.
Younger people, such as university students, can get so much out of Jane Austen, both universal verities and some amazing historical insights, if the books are read and discussed with competence.
Anyone wanting a zippy and often very good introduction to Austen’s novels, the details of them in character terms and the socio-economic aspects of the times and stratas Austen wrote about, well, here is

This from the dumb bastard who had no problems with trading with China.
His Libertarian idiocy told him, “well if they can do it cheaper it’s better for everyone”
Never once could he hold a conservative thought, or show cynicism, or question WHY…why are they doing it cheaper?
You can buy a stolen watch cheaper than the cost of making one as well, but in the long run the price of doing so is far more expensive.
Now look how much it has cost us.
No..a.. I’m a sorry, you silly old dunce, you don’t get to tell anyone about economics.
You’re a fool.
You must be a paid troll.

Oh, we shouldn’t be trading with China?
Have you told Clivo to stop sending ore to China?
As I said go practice engine braking, you low rent redneck.
Now that’s just sad, Struth.
What took all your energy out of you today? This is even lower-quality anklebiting than we usually get out of your alter-ego Runnybum.
Even Matrix at his most sarcastic and passive-aggressive, gets more zing out of his half-sentences than you…
Very instructive interaction.
Should we just buy everything from communist regimes because they can do what we can’t because we have had our hands tied by enviromental sabotage by the UN?
You actally said once.
“If they can do it cheaper it doesn’t matter how they do it”
Smart boy.
Venezuela has nothing of value to buy beyond crude oil.
And before you do the inevitable, Struth, the Chinese regime is, strictly speaking, Fascist. It gave up on ‘pure’ communism, interpreted through the prism of Mao, when Mao died.
Have you actually read any Jane Austen? How many characters were in line to inherit vast estates, other than the famous one? The rest of them were living on scraps and hoping for (I was going to say someone like Lizzie with a basket) to come along.
Younger sons may well have reluctantly entered the clergy or the military, but they were not the ones in Jane’s novels. The bad lot who ran away with the sister was not exactly a Guardsman.
By the amount of upticks you never get and the way they laugh at you here and at other blogs choo choo, I don’t need to respond to every insane piece of dribble you come forward with.
There’s so many people who are absolutely full of hatred for you, it’s surprising, where I just think you’re a sad, weak, dumb fuck.
A sort of irrelevence.
I was quite surprised at the amount of enemies you are accumulating with your carry on.
So carry on.
Yourself, SRR, Bird and that front-bar urger that calls itself ‘chilli’ over at the Furniture store. So many…
Unless you’re adding in all the voices in your head to that tally, Struth?
Now, I am fascinated. Where did this happen, Struth?
Other than amongst your hand-patters and sycophants, of course?
Looking at the sky, I am reminded of:

An active, properly trained citizen’s reserve would be another matter.
Located in every significant centre of population, with those more isolated still formally enlisted, uniformed, and tasked to report on activities in their area. A regional surveillance force hard to bypass, except by sticking to the inhospitable regions.

LEAKED RECORDING ALLEGEDLY CONFIRMS MASSACRE IN BUCHA WAS STAGED BY UKRAINIAN MILITANTS
“Last week the female nominee to the US Supreme Court refused to define what a woman is…”
I realise this is an unpopular position, but I would at least somewhat defend her response.
It seems to me that her “no context” comment indicates she was looking at it from a judges – ie legal – PoV.
If she had said “For me personally, a woman is an adult human female, however in judgements I may make on such matters, I would need to consider the statute law in question, the arguments made, and the appropriate precedents before making a decision specific to that case”, it may have been a more accurate and explanatory response and caused less kerfuffle. I believe this is her actual thinking on the matter, and that she simply only responded in the legalistic sense on the basis that the questioners apparently wanted to know how she might rule, or what her legal opinion was.
As to the others you cite Cassie – there is no defense for these, or at least none that I have seen that I find convincing or even cogent.
Royalty! I hope she knows where Australia is.
Incoming US Ambassador to Australia Caroline Kennedy questioned on Chinese influence in the Indo-Pacific region (8 Apr)
That’s ok, her dad had trouble with island nations too. I hope one of the Republicans asks her to define what the word “woman” means.

The British army was much more rigid in terms of class structure.
Purchase of commissions wasn’t abolished until late in the 19th Century, that helped enforce the class structure.
This unbelievable!!!

Caught up with a friend who is restoring a Mini Cooper the other day. It’s a later model, and he’s not a purist – as I found out when he showed me his latest addition.
The rear lights have mirror images of the Union Jack embedded. When they light up, you see the Union Jack. Kewl!
It is currently black, but I think I may have convinced him that the only proper colour is British Racing Green.
With a cream roof?
Brislurker. It’s grooming. Plain and simple.
The “teacher” has become the toothless old perv in a dust coat behind the portables. Or the ingratiating scout master, or the unspeakably evil “youth leader”.
It is no longer a respectable profession.
When I was at uni there was someone in Redfern who had a Mini with stuck on fake bricks on the sides and plastic grass on the roof. It looked really good. The fake brick cladding was a fad at the time, used for making walls of fibro houses look a little less ghastly.
I’m only catching up on this now.
Peter Thiel gave a campaign speech at the Bitcoin 2022 conference overnight.

Robert Malone is suing the New York Times for an extraordinary attack on his credentials, arguing that they are defamatory and false(sorry, writing in IPad & don’t have the link at hand).
It is interesting that the article defended the authorities by claiming that the vaccine development was a “data driven” corrective process according to scientific practice – or words to that effect. Besides this statement being quite inaccurate, it tells me that the authorities & their enforcers are beginning to become very defensive.
Vicki
The problem with Malone is that he’s upped his credentials a lot more than warranted. He claims to be the person who invented the new style vax platform. It doesn’t appear to be entirely true. He was part of a number of folks who did the work. There is lots of research where he’s cited but he’s not the only one. Having said that, I don’t know what the NYTimes has said about him.
That’s a rather different way of going about things, Bruce.
Given the original Mini is about the size of a large planter box, I guess the concept works quite well. 🙂
Mini. Not this BRG? 😀

Good afternoon choo choo, I am glad my rent free status in your head is still current.
” Might I be so bold as to ask what you are here for, if it is not to win people over? Is abusing your opponents somehow therapeutic? What?
Gabor just answered your question.
It has no argument so just dismisses me as a fruit cake.”
Well, you aren’t trying to convince people – said so yourself.
You don’t want anyone who disagrees with the mandates but had the jab anyway to be an ally – you said that yourself too.
So it seems that you are only here to parade your victimhood as a virtue, abuse those you think caused it, or abetted it or whatever, and tell us all how we are soon to die or be stuck under the thumb of some authoritarian.
“Poor widdle ol’ me – look what you did to me, when I was so brave and virtuous and all. This is the price you’ll pay.”
Of course, you’re more than welcome to advise your own take on why you are here, but you apparently don’t want to do that either.
Seems to me that you’re just throwing shit hither and yon to see where it sticks, and trying to land on the spots where it does stick.
Taking what anyone says in the worst possible light and as a personal insult to you, while your own insults thrown profusely at all and sundry are “facts” and “the truth”.
That because the entire world doesn’t revolve around you, you came to a place where you thought you might get sympathy, and when it wasn’t forthcoming from all and sundry at the level you feel you deserve, you had – and continue to have – your tantrum and attempt to extract your revenge for such slights.
Which IMO in no way reflects well on you, nor helps your cause, whatever it may be.
