Non collectivist politics in this country is, to paraphrase, “dead, buried and cremated”.
There are two collectivist parties in this country (well, three, if you include the most successful of them, being the gliberals).
There’s only about 10 non collectivist ones. Squabbling, squabbling and even more squabbling.

Duncan what I find odd is a founding population disseminate into a new land and the various groups undergo their own genetic drift without interbreeding then along comes new stone tools and language that rapidly spreads across the whole continent but that the genetic signature is very small which indicates it wasn’t population replacement. That’s incongruous though, a new language and tools does suggest a replacement population.
BTW that big shift 4-5k years ago strongly suggests that the “oldest living culture” is bunkum. Something extraordinary happened.

Oh, bollocks. I have no great truck with the Albanzleasey, but losing significant amounts of weight is by no means impossible, or even necessarily difficult.
In 2002 (because I was hopelessly besotted with a goil) I lost a fifth of my body weight over six weeks.

Arky beer is at least 6,000 years old and there is even a debate in anthropology that agriculture came after the trick of fermentation.

There is hardly a tribe that didn’t use some form of drug.
prolly dead from tooth abyss by 30 anyways
I know that feeling. When I was younger I could train very hard and kept my weight in a good range. Trained tonight but only lightly. Had last week off as a deload and put on 2 kilos. Unfortunately I’m one of those types whose body rebels against fat loss. I can put on muscle but not lose weight. Losing the blubber is much more important than putting on the muscle. Very frustrating.
Nope. The low life expectancy had more to do with infant mortality than adult lifespan. Plenty of records to indicate that if born into the right circumstances living to 60 was possible. Part of the trick of surviving long enough was to develop adaptive immunity to the bugs in your locate.

Ob-la-di Ob-la-da – (Jo A Ram violin cover)
you go right ahead and collect those records … make sure you get the dental records too
too many bongs John
… just sayin’
The problem of teeth is directly related to the availability of sugar and high carb loading; both of which are relatively late in human history. It might have something to do with oral flora because different bugs impact on tooth decay in different ways. Last time I saw a dentist they wanted to extract a molar because they said the x ray indicated an abscess underneath it. So I mouth washed with a lipophilic(fat soluble) antibacterial(Dental Pro 7, rave reviews in the thousands, not formally tested, but worked for me), a chemokine agonist(don’t ask), and a fibrinogen inhibitor(don’t ask). That was 7 years ago, still waiting for that abscess to kill me. Of course it could also mean dentists are lousy at reading X rays which wouldn’t surprise me.
I wish. Not enough these days MT. Brain is dying so I may as well blaze up.
Bong John,
you do try to make it all sound high-brow but its pretty obvious to everybody except yourself and JC that you’re full of shit
gawd you draw a long bow … are you saying that dental problems in the middle ages were rare(?) because there was little sugar and carbs?
you must be a special kind of stupid
I read a fascinating study on the composition of calculus (tartar) the other day.
you should get off youtube
There was plenty of carbs in the middle ages. Grains FFS. I didn’t say dental problems were rare I was challenging your claim that everyone was dying around 30 years of age because of dental problems. How do you know that is true?
What are you such an insulting prick? You do that to everybody. What happened to you that makes like that or is it genetic?
clearly you mean, Why am I such and insulting prick?
the answer is, because you are a retard

Bit of a toss up between leave it all till after, which would mean a delay of at least three days, or go now and hit the middle of the sowing window with the attendant risk of ground crusting after the rain potentially affecting emergence.
We’re going for 200 before and 200 after on the dryland. All irrigated canola will go in after.

I thought Morrison was to blame for all things covid, bushfires, opting for the never never of 2050 that should be 2030 in the face of a climate emergency.
And yet Australian seem to once again rejecting climate frothing and a progressive attack on hip pockets to fund their green dreams.

Not sure I follow this. Do you mean 1983? Hawke was elevated to the Labor leadership at the beginning of the campaign, not the end; in fact Fraser called the election on the same day.

We have the seeder out and any repairs are tackled this week. I’m hoping my tech savvy nephew doesn’t get another bright idea and make the unit unusable for the old blokes.
Our soil moisture is good but not up to Bush’s levels. Canola is going in on fallows and a couple of pulse paddocks which are still to be a certainty with the high costs. I still reckon barley is a good fall back with the reduced input costs and weather risk.

Albo heads to the deep green beating heart of Australia and it doesn’t go well.
Albanese greeted with deafening boos at Bluesfest in Byron Bay (17 Apr)
I can see why Albo might want to go to a blues and roots festival. The Labor Party is well known for having lots of big blues and also lots of roots.
The other problem is slow diagnosis because resources diverted to covid. Even down to face to face consults, let alone getting appointments for scans and pathology.
The covid sh*tshow is going to result in people who would normally have survived because diagnosis/treatment succumbing.
And now I see the grubbyment is worried about children’s mental health following disruption to education and socialisation. Create the problem then throw money at it, but never fix it.
miltonf at 8:19 – plenty of stage management to the Hawke myth. In the late 80s I was required to join the AWU to gain some life skills as a (very well remunerated) holiday trainee at Rio’s Tom Price operations. One year we were on the footy oval and went out on strike till Hawkey could get there to resolve the issue.
in fact Fraser called the election on the same day
Didn’t Fraser call the election expecting to go head to head with Hayden only for Labor to announce the change of leadership to Hawke after it was, publically, dun & dusted …..
The problem for Albo is it becomes too easy to give the Black Knight a whack. I’m sure the kids-in-short-pants are working on it.
From memory, Fraser wanted to call the election seven months early, but the then Governor General refused.
It was obvious what Labor was doing, but everyone seemed helpless to bell that cat. And Fraser fitted the media’s “arrogant” tag like a glove. They never forgave him for the Fall of Gough.
And then there were the first stirring of the Communists/Greens with the Franklin Gordon brouhaha – they flexed their muscles and discovered they were strong.

Not sure the local hippies are the target market for Bluesfest anymore, Bruce.

Spot on Roger. Blues festival disappeared up its own firmament some time ago. Barnsey? Pass the Chardonnay.
Fraser knew the Labor spill was on and thought he had the measure of Hayden, so he tried to head them off at the pass, so to speak. Unfortunately for him, the attendant rigmarole of visiting the G-G delayed the process and allowed Labor to effect the switch before the election was announced.
Boom-tish.

As if men go through nine months of labour and then childbirth. Give real women their well deserved due – pregnancy is a joy but also difficult for many.
Men should not be sharing that limelight. Preparing themselves for practical support and emotional care, yes. But only women get pregnant and only women deserve the accolades for giving birth.

What a way for Elbow to end the campaign week from hell…being booed by the Barnesy crowd.
Next stop, regional central QLD, Akubra inappropriately donned…
Can’t imagine any of the three very popular Labor would-be PMs – Whitlam, Hawke, and Rudd – getting boos from a concert in their time before they were first elected.
There were enormous groundswells of support for those three when they were initially put up as the saviours of their party and their country. Older Cats likely recall the “It’s Time” adverts for Gough; the rockstar incandescence of Hawke in amongst crowds, and the god-status of Rudd and his Kevin07 campaign.
I don’t see any of that for Albo. I’m gonna call it now and say he won’t make it.
I’m starting to agree, TE.
Much as I despise the Libs, if Elbow is the answer – what the hell is the question?
Elbow. Perfect.
The only thing SloMo and Albo have got going for them is each other. I’m not sure how valid historical comparisons are. It will be close but the maths in QLD and WA must favour the Liars. Clearly no one is clamouring for either.
I think it was Leak who nailed it in a cartoon last week…”It’s an unpopularity contest.”
Baddies versus Baddies !
I’ll take “Why doesn’t Labor have any decent retail politicians?” for $200, thanks.
If Albo the student Trot gets a wider audience it’s hard to see him doing a KRuddy. He’ll need some help from his media mates here. But then they managed it with Gillard.
they managed it with Gillard…
True, but then there was a certain percentage of voters who would vote for G “becuz she was the first woman”.
Albo’s a carpetbagger in new glasses who’s never had a real job. There will be a cohort of voters who will see him for what he is, and swerve accordingly.
The other factor ScoMo has going for him is that there is a lot of world uncertainty about these days, and most voters are scared of the unknown in doubtful times.
“You failed yourself, and yes you were better than most, but not when it counted and my god are you going to pay for it.”
Rather odd to see you complaining about my ethics Struth.
According to you:
1) about 70% are jabbed
2) jabbed will all suffer at best permanent physical disability and at worst death
3) only options to fight are disobedience or violence.
You chose disobedience – fair enough, your choice.
At what point is violence justified?
Would that be where 20% of your fellow countrymen are being maimed or killed by the government? 50%? 70%? 90%?
Because you say it is unquestionably around 70% already, yet that is not enough for you to resort to violence.
So I’m wondering at what point you can justify violence – clearly it is more than 70% of your countrymen being physically harmed or killed, so what’s the limit? 80%? 90%? Only when it’s your family?
It seems that your failure to act here to protect your fellow countrymen when you earnestly believe the government is maiming or killing 70% makes YOU complicit in those maimings/deaths.
Doesn’t it?
Doesn’t just sitting back and watching it happen make you complicit?
Or is it that there is only so much you, as an individual, can do?
That I can’t ask more than you are willing to give?
But if that is true, why do you ask more from others than they are willing to give?
How can you berate them for doing what they can, for not doing more, when you yourself are not “all in”?
Is it that you have doubts about what is about to unfold, that things are not as you have stated they are? That would be fair enough reason IMO – but also reason to believe that “folding” and getting jabbed is really not so bad as you are making out either.
So ultimately, I think your stated positions are either not so unequivocal as you make out, or you are also complicit too and it’s just a matter of degree. Or so it seems to me – there doesn’t really appear to me to be a third option.
Yay!!! First cruise ship in two years sailing right by us on the harbour at Watson’s Bay now.
Helicopters in the sky and a water can to accompany it.
Life is getting back to normal in Sydney. Covid is over, most people think.
that’s water canon
A white ship and very beautiful to see the big swan sailing majestically by.
Both parties have moved so far from their base the base have moved on. Libs are the one people are recognizing, but especially in Victoria Andrews has clearly done serious damage to Labor with the working class base. I see plenty of UAP signs hanging off construction sites and people’s fences in a strong Labor area.
How many of the Labor candidates or sitting MPs have done anything outside the party machine or politics in general? I can’t think of any that have done any blue collar work, but I’m also not too familiar with who’s who.
The only real positive thing I have to say about the Libs is they have people who had a career outside politics.
Top Ender – all true. IF the polls are correct the Lieborals can’t win with a primary vote of less than 40%. Albo is deeply unimpressive. No wonder he was the choice of the rank and file.
Without knowing what type of cancer, how advanced it was at the time of diagnosis etc all I’m hearing is covid mumbo jumbo.
Very simply explanation. The media hated Abbott but the public liked his policies. When it’s a question of Tweedledee and Tweedledum then personalities come into it.
Don’t hold your breath Bluey. Grumble and moan as they will, it will take a lot more than Andrews to shake off Labour’s parasitic drone like followers in Vic. Change in Vic is especially difficult now since tens of thousands disgusted folk have left the state – most of whom have never voted for Labor I’ll wager.
Abbott was coming off the back of R-G-R. Whatever you think of SloMo he’s not in that league.
The MSM will never ask that question for the same reason they never asked it of Joe. They want the full green-progressive box and dice, but know full well the voters don’t. So Albo is refusing to talk about policies so that when he get in he can announce green salvation for the planet because yikes there’s an Emergency.
I think the Libs rather like the same green wet policies but know their base would run screaming away if that was ever known.
The Libs should talk about Mean Girls some more. It resonated. They won’t because people might think they’re meanies, which is an interesting oxymoron.
Maybe, but I’ve never seen much other than Labor signs around election time here. Particularly UAP signs in people’s yards says they’re staking their choice pretty loudly, and with it being roughly equal numbers to Labor I see as a promising.
That is right Calli re too late diagnosis.
An issue flagged early, including here, and no doubt those chickens are coming home to roost.
My view on cancer is expect to get it and be grateful if you don’t.
Husband and wife neighbours both got in their fifties, around the same time, she survived, he didn’t and in-law husband and wife both battling cancer at the moment, early sixties.
I dont care , what trade policy , climate policy , employment policy or aged care policy a party or politician has . I just refuse to vote for a party or politician or did not condemn rubber bullets being fired at peacefull protesters or citizens being beaten up and jailed by police these last 2 years . A POX ON ALL OF THEM.
Around here the most annoying signs are yellow and black ‘climate action now’ all of course on homes that are comfortable upper middle for whom energy bills are mosquito bite nuisances.
It’s worth remembering she only got the Big Chair after KRudd “lost his way” then succeeded in burning a sizeable majority and having to depend upon the Three Amigos to govern.
Hardly wildly popular.
For those Cats interested in naval stuff I see a photo of the damaged Moskva somehow has got into the open. Here’s an analysis by a navy guy:

You know this reads like you’re happy she died, so long as you can’t assign it to the jabs? I only said about the jabs because anecdotally, I’ve heard a lot of similar in the last few months. I thought that was pretty clear.
It could well have been something preexisting. It could have been the jabs. It could have been magical space aliens from a distant galaxy.
I still find it tragic to hear someone relatively young, with a small child, who’d found a little happiness in life after so long, had died in such a way so soon after finding that.
In a state with a population well over six million ‘tens of thousands’ is not even a hiccup.
Despite twitter best efforts I think most people see covid as a state issue.
Fuel back down to $1.53 might gladden hearts to the LNP.
No such thing was said or implied.
Don’t be a St Ruth dick.
More like it reads like you were happy she died as long as you could blame vaccines.
I’m just saying don’t bother with vague cancer stories caused by the jab.
All premature cancer or other deaths are a tragedy for loved ones.
This I know.
I’ll say it again.
avoid canola and other oxidised oils for a start. garlic and herbs with meats.
keep carbs to burnable through exercise quantities to avoid diabetes. choose glass over plastics. etc
none of it is rocket science.
We have same ghastly ALP apparatchik Sam something running- loves our vibrant communities but still feels the need to step up. The sort of muck that writes itself.
