I’ve been in a Concorde. It’s unforgettable. The takeoff sounded effortless with the engines sounding like they’re at 10% effort.
The secondary acceleration is once you hit the European shoreline and or the US. That was a great feeling. At cruising altitude you can see the curvature of the earth and the window facing the sun is hot.
Well, it doesn’t deserve the hype everyone gives it. Up here* the barra’s used for tourists.

Boyanup is normally opened to the public on the 4th Sunday of each month. Steamings of G233 are a little bit rarer- the next one I think is planned for late August and then at the end of October as well. They alternate between Boyanup and Bassendean, where the big S549 Greenmount will be steamed on the June Long Weekend and again at Railfest in September/October.
Bennett Brook in Whiteman Park will be running steam more or less every weekend from mid-or late May, rain and Park Management permitting. And I will be using the odd mid-week RDO where possible during the July and Spetember school holiday breaks to run steam at the Park as well. So long as I can get a fireman rostered for the same day…

Basically yes – from memory the cost of slaughter in Australia was four to six times what it was overseas. Religious reasons and the lack of refrigeration overseas were also cited, but the high cost of slaughter and processing made the chilled meat trade noncompetitive.

Many destination countries do their own value-adding (i.e. fattening).
There is entire transport, saleyard, feedlot, farming, and eventually abattoir industries, involved after the live exported animals are unloaded.

Piers Morgan was interviewed by Rowan Dean on Outsiders this morning.
piers said he stopped supporting Trump because:
1. mishandling of COVID
2. not accepting the election result*
3. his actions on Jan 6th
If Morgan is still saying (and he was) that he’s seen “no evidence” of electoral fraud, he’s not worthy of being a journalist.
If Morgan had a better idea of how to manage COVID back when it was in its first year, he should point us to “evidence” that he had a better plan back then.
If Morgan has “evidence” that Trump egged on the crowd to break into the Capitol, he should present it.
I haven’t watched the full interview yet, but in the bit I heard he didn’t have any condemnatory statements about the present administration’s handling of COVID. Or any other aspects of administration, such as appointing incompetent leftists to almost every department, and appointing a very leftist judge to the Supreme Court for no good reason.
Gideon Rozner…on twitter……..makes the cino sneerers on this so called right wing blog look like idiot leftists.

Well now, it’s happening to you.

You scoff, or are too timid to speak the truth to the dumb bastards scoffing.

There’s no conjecture as it’s plane fact. The second or third supposedly most lethal military in the world is unable to secure a farming country in 7 weeks. Pathetic.

Shades of the original winter war.
Awful at every level, supply, equipment, tactics etc.
But out of that debacle came the realization they were screwed if they tried on a fight with germany, or germany tried it on with them.
Without the winter war (and Spain) Germany would have been facing an absolute shambles including much of the armor/artillery and aviation introduced in ’41 not even being designed yet.

You can’t get cheaper than an Egyptian breaking a sheep’s legs to get it in the car boot, driving it back to his hovel, clubbing it’s brains out and dressing it on the Hills Hoist.
Our Sheep, our Rules, and I couldn’t care less about the Indons.
Don’t just sit there typing random words.
Buy your sheep station, stock it (at least 500,000 head), set up your Australian abattoir, operated by Australian union workers, set up your refrigerated supply chain, and bring the money rolling in.
Within 12 months, you will be able to buy out this blog., and convert it to skiting about your brilliance.
It’s gone because no one is going to do anything about it.
Hilarious.
Hilarious.
Fucking hilarious.

I read the recently that the Russians are threatening neighboring countries every other day and the Kremlin scum are threatening the West with nukes every day they aren’t threatening neighbors.
Vlad doesnt seem to know the old saying “catch more flies with honey than vinegar”.
Poor buggers in Russia (and their neighbors). 100 years + of shit government.
I blame the Kadets faction myself.
They were too busy kicking the last props of legitimacy away from the Tsarist regime to notice they were leaving a huge vacuum they had no ability to fill. If they had instead co-opted as much of the old Tsarist structures as they could and been a little more gradual the 20th century might have missed out on the charnel house of WW1 & WW2.
Hilariously stupid
What do you think is going to happen Custard?
Knuckledragger – just got back from a market day in a local town – so late to reply.
I was raised on a farm – albeit croppers – and I now reside a fair part of my days on a small holding with cattle. So, I am not without experience with livestock and the realities of raising and selling livestock.
However, the live sheep trade is a specialised market. Obviously, most graziers do not sell their sheep and/or cattle to this market – especially in the southern and south eastern areas of Australia. It is therefore inappropriate to suggest that anyone – particularly a farmer – who objects to the live overseas transportation of livestock is without knowledge or understanding of the issue.

See it this way Cohenite anyone who thinks they actually know what’s going to happen is full of shit and I have repeatedly said on these pages that the only thing I’m reasonably certain of is that America will find itself in a constitutional crisis.
But only just today the most powerful and influential political figure on the planet devoted about 2 thirds of his speech to the fraud of 2020. He’s obviously got a different view about what is going to happen to your own.
I’ve been in a Concorde. It’s unforgettable.
I hope someone else paid for the ticket, JC
Pay that one, Boambee John.
From my own experience, watch the falling price of cattle after the Indonesian fiasco, flow on into the sheep industry, watch the price of “shipping wethers” fall from $135 a head – very nice thank you, to just over $55 a head “Why does a man even bother?”, and listen to the Greenies telling you that that’s the price you pay for animal welfare.
Doesn’t the last bit invalidate the first bit?
Why would you care JC? You were adamant on these pages that nothing was going to happen. Have you changed your mind?
Greetings from Port Augusta.
Travelling north from Angaston, once through the Clare and onto to coastal strip…the entire landscape changed. The tail end of the Flinders Ranges to the right, a silver shimmer on the horizon to the left that spoke of the sea. The ranges come down almost to the road and the view north is long and beautiful, with the mountains curving off into the hazy distance.
Marred by a blight of wind turbines loitering menacingly in the foothills. I say loitering because only one in twenty was actually turning. These foul and useless shrines to climate catastrophism disgust me, particularly as I imagine the damage to wildlife they inflict.
Treated to some cultural enrichment outside Woolies. I did wonder about the compound-like fortifications around our accommodation. Question answered. 😀
There are a number of people on this blog suffering Canberra Syndrome.
They think that if we here in Australia issue a decree the rest of the world will just instantly obey.
They won’t.
China will not pay our trillion dollar debt for us. One major reason they’re taking over by stealth in places in Africa and elsewhere is precisely so they can refuse to buy our iron ore at all. They certainly aren’t going to pay us a 15% on gross revenue levy to fund our incompetence and profligacy.
Likewise other countries aren’t going to change from live Australian sheep to neatly butchered Australian lamb cutlets – they’ll change to non-Australian live sheep. The religious, logistical and economic issues have already been outlined above.
Stop deluding yourselves. We’re a medium size nation in a competitive world.
I’d forgotten about Chrisafulli – he’s in parliament, I think.
Yup. The Wagners outrank him.
Let’s see for how long the last King of Scotland retains his VC for. 🙂
If you really want to indulge yourself throwing a tantrum at China and don’t care about the damage you cause to the Australian economy, why not put a tariff on exports of coal? At least China owns a lot of Australian coal mines so they’d suffer along with the rest of the industry.
The bank did, Areff. During that late 80s early 90s recession, airlines were bursting with capacity I guess.
Every couple of months I had to go to either Paris or London for trader meetups and the bank paid for a business class ticket. Air France and BA had a deal going that if you redeemed your points, you could fly the Concorde on one leg of the trip. I think, usually , they gave you the off leg. The one you really didn’t want because of the time difference and that would have been the NY to Europe leg for me.
I avoided taking it (with a couple of exceptions) because I wanted to accumulate the miles so I could take the family on a relatively free vacation.
Vaguely, I recall that a ticket during the recession years wasn’t that much more than a first class ride. The deals stopped as soon as the recession ended.
Rabz:
Yes – that’s precisely what I was getting at with the question. The dumper eventually cops the cost of dumping, so why do it beyond the productivity/yield curve?
Isn’t this what is happening in China?
All those factories producing goods that are suddenly unsaleable because the supply chain they deliberately broke has left them with Bazillions of invested capital that are now worthless.
But only just today the most powerful and influential political figure on the planet devoted about 2 thirds of his speech to the fraud of 2020. He’s obviously got a different view about what is going to happen to your own.
Yeah, I’m a cynic. And I guest you mean Trump who was beat by maxine waters, pelosi, aoc and biden. Get back to me after the midterms; if they’re held and if won by the GOP and the GOP start doing the rectification beginning with impeaching biden and arresting major swampies. Good luck with that.
Like I said what do you think is going to happen; and I mean in practical terms, not moral high ground bullshit.
Farmer Gez:
Onya, FG.
Shades of Idi Amin, who once:

That’s true.
I was thinking that someone has edited that in, in the Private Eye sense of Uganda being a small country in Darkest Africa
where Conservative politicians took an interest in “Ugandan Affairs”.
Why would I care that you invalidated your first assertion with the second assertion in the very same sentence? I don’t care, but I found it funny so I highlighted it.
Adamant about what wasn’t going to happen?
Funny…. that is exactly the argument used by the pro China lobby in ” The Land” last year when feature writers were basically advocating “kow-towing” to China in order for them to lift the embargoes of wine, lobsters etc.
Let’s see for how long the last King of Scotland retains his VC for. ?
Gone by tomorrow!
Just quietly, I reckon there mighta been quite a few Ugandan VCs won by our Diggers in the Solomon Islands.
This is all true.
Looking at it from a Chinese perspective, Australia supplies 60%+ of its iron ore imports – and far more than that at the margin.
That’s a big strategic dependency, which a half smart economy would try to diversify as a matter of prudence. (Germany: exemplar of a half smart economy which didn’t diversify its source of a strategic supply – despite 30 years of being warned of the consequences.)
As long as the maaaates get their cut , this is no biggie for Vic commie party aka Vic Labor. The more white elephants the better in fact.

The dumper eventually cops the cost of dumping, so why do it beyond the productivity/yield curve?
First the disclaimer: not an expert…
But, if you can dump product for long enough to ruin your offshore competition and then raise your prices afterwards to extract profits in a much less competitive market wouldnt that work?
Or outside a few niche areas where costs/tech investment is too steep does the business just find a newer/cheaper producer starting up elsewhere?
(Im particularly thinking of shit furniture, for a long time a China staple, but migrated to Vietnam pretty quickly as wages in China rose)

Spook.
It’s very difficult to say exactly what a “win” looks like now because Putin has barely 100,000 deployable troops left and he’s not going to control a country of 40 million with that kind of force. If his objective had always been to secure the Donbass and the Black Sea coast, it makes absolutely no sense to have committed to a major operation against Kyiv, which failed miserably and burned decades of Russian military prestige with it.
Putin STILL has not been able to neutralise Mariupol after 8 weeks, which is deep behind his front line! That’s perhaps an even greater failure than the inability to take out Kyiv. So he’ll probably lose another couple brigades just to take a single steelworks or whatever, while failing to make any inroads elsewhere. I’m guessing we’ve got months of popcorn supplies to get through before this war comes to anything remotely conclusive. (No, I’m not going to do what Putinist propagandists have been doing by putting on the fake “Oh pity the poor Ukrainian PEOPLE” crocodile tears routine – I’m loving this as much as Ukrainians will in hindsight when this Putinist clusterfuck finally runs out of gas – it’s a good thing Putin can’t hit the nuclear button anymore because he has severe Parkinson’s disease).
There are at least a dozen other would – be suppliers of live sheep.
multiplex appears to have won the contract to build Mickleham
they’ll change to non-Australian live sheep.
You’re the only one to have made that assertion.
That’s because it’s a known known.
They have been taking over Africa for near 20 years and still Africa isn’t paying them nearly the dividends they want or need to support their massive economy. I think people here who claim to know something about commodities haven’t a fkg clue about volume, supply or quality.
Simandu is a perfect case in point. It’s been the next big thing since 2008. They still don’t have rail to the coast and the port is in need of serious upgrade. Last I checked it was still 4-5 years from first production shipment (if nothing goes wrong- in Africa?) , dealing with a brand new regime that has just taken over in the latest coup . Africa has a way of fkg everyone over, and over again.
Wow Canavan has put up a feed of Bowen pretty well much admitting coal mines have to be net zero by 2050. Measuring emissions was a rabbit hole we went down from natural CH4, CO & CO2 and machinery after the Carbon Tax was introduced. The machinery was easy, the natural degasification of coal however was very problematic and not helped by the ambiguous wording of the regulations. We had a guy who was ex-Government who looked at it and said it was near impossible. Pretty well we could pretty well tell them any figure as the regulations didn’t quantify how to measure natural emissions just we had to do it.
Can’t believe these idiots are going back down this road. One thing you bet the house on is that 2050 will be affected by bracket creep and be something like 2035…
One other, as soon as the MRRT was introduced that with the carbon tax decimated exploration. Project we were on was wound up very soon after and put on a compliance arrangement to keep the lease.

Trans participation in sport is happening now – not only is it a non-issue, it makes clubs better
Stephanie Convery
The feeling from community sports clubs in the midst of the political debate about trans athletes competing in women’s sport over the last week is not relief. It’s anxiety: how can we protect our trans players from this completely unwarranted attack on their right to play?
The prime minister has been attempting to characterise this as an issue of concern for ordinary mums and dads “who just want common sense to apply”. But in my experience, grassroots sport and the community more generally are way ahead of this political debate, just as they were on the issue of marriage equality.
Here’s what I know as the vice-president of Elsternwick, one of Victoria’s oldest amateur football clubs.
Our trajectory at Elsternwick is a really common one: a club that for more than a century was only for cis men has performed an incredible gear-shift in just the last few years. From the moment it started a women’s team in 2019, it committed to being inclusive; to welcoming people of all backgrounds and identities – those with excellent skills honed over a lifetime and those who’ve never picked up a ball in their life.
Active steps towards trans inclusion are a necessary part of that process. When I went looking for guidance on the best ways for the club to do that, I found a wealth of resources. The idea that sports are in uncharted waters on this is simply untrue.
…
“To see politicians evoke archaic ideas about gender and women’s sport – it really sets us back in terms of participation in sport when we’ve made such great progress. It’s really out of step,” says Henne.
…
Most mums and dads these days have a trans person in their lives, whether through their kids, their work, their family, their community, or their sport.
This disingenuous spastic wrote a book on a chap who died boxing.
At the same time shes now shilling for women to compete against bio-males in contact sports.

Little chap, second from the left. Oh my goodness, first impression was of something huge.
But I think it was just a gathering in his nifty pants from the waistline down to the business end.
Pardon me for mentioning it, I’m sure.
Dot, his profile also neglects to mention the Military Medal he won at the Baulkham Hills Incident.
And I have no intention of finding, copying and pasting what jC said last weekend but it was words to the effect that nothing was going to happen.
Good, because head prefect is an expert in shorting and nothing else. Again I’m interested in what you think is going to happen. Just saying a constitutional crisis is meaningless. How will this crisis be defined and by who. Don’t get me wrong I agree Trump was defrauded massively and every shit event which has happened in the world since is directly based on that fraud. But WTF is going to happen. SCOTUS has already declined a majority state based suite about the electoral fraud. So, who or what is going to do anything?
No. Most don’t. But we know you are working on it for the next generation.
Yep. People have been breaking their pick in Africa for a while. No doubt the Chinese approach will be a bit different to the Euros. Who knows whether it will work. History suggests not.
Define “most”.
50.00000001%? Not even that.
It’s a lie. Like all the other lies, we are expected to believe. And if we don’t believe, just shut up and submit.
Yes – that, of course, will happen. But it is such a specious reason for not taking a position on something that matters to you.
It’s a different kind of “most”.
The non-mathematical, “feels” kind.

But on first impressions, am I wrong? Or do I just have something on my mind?
Thanks for the entertainment, Googleory. You idiot.
PS: Calli, I had a very entertaining evening at the Port Augusta trots as a youth in the 1970s. It’s an important Australian town because of where it is. I love that red-dirt country. Enjoy!
Just an example. In a certain African country, the Chinese took over a decent size inland oil field . They pulled all manor of shonkies to get hold of it, bribing the incumbent regime with millions, overseas jaunts, flash houses and cars, no doubt Swiss bank account deposits etc. Although Malaysia was the preferred bank bolt hole. at the time. Anyways come the winter months, the crude was so thick it was like tar so it overloaded and blew up a number of pipeline pumping stations. The Chinese imported a shitload of heaters just to improve flow. Most of the heaters failed within months from dust ingress. Production collapsed. The Chinese were sucked right in, prior production figures were a fallacy. Just one small anecdote of how Africa Wins Again.
Anyway, we’re off to a pool to do our laps.
Nothing to see there in today’s budgie smugglers.
The water is cold enough to ensure that.
And who’s looking anyway? 🙂
I don’t pretend to know Cohenite but almost everywhere I look the political activism occurring on the right in America is all about November 3. The overwhelming view is that unless they fix and reveal the fraud of 2020 the xunts are just going to keep cheating and Republicans won’t turn up to vote if they think their vote won’t count.
Nowadays people are lazy and they don’t read as much. This 2000mules documentary could really shift things along. Hillary is being sued and now lawyers for Podesta and Elias and others are now participating in Durhams legal action.
More popcorn I’d say.

the command to promote this shit must come out from some central point- it all seems so coordinated. Columbia skool of germalism maybe?
I will thanks Tom.
We’ll pop into the dryland botanic garden tomorrow morning – looking forward to seeing the types of plants that do well here. Also the discovery centre in the afternoon.
We were greeted with a big thunderstorm coming in – everyone was smiling as rain is precious here. I was going to suggest a look at the red cliffs but it’s a dirt road in and likely impassable. The Beloved is game but I don’t fancy digging the 4wd out of mud.

Concorde’s, Chief engineer Sir James Hamilton, was a frog? Who knew!
This policy could be successful if we could persuade Brazil to follow suit. That would be three quarters of all internationally traded iron ore, so customers couldn’t shop elsewhere.

SCOTUS has already declined a majority state based suite about the electoral fraud. So, who or what is going to do anything?
I wonder the same thing. It’s almost like they have got away with it. The betrayal by SCOTUS was unforgivable and a repudiation of the rule of law. If they are allowed to get away with it, they will be emboldened to double down even more. Disgusting.

Bang on. Look at the club. Elsternwick. For those aiming to step up to South Yarra, and who have the cash but not the clout. All this is is trying to advance their social cred in the right circles.
