Talk that McClown will ease restrictions next week – just in time for the Federal Election- I mean because of health advice:
https://thewest.com.au/news/coronavirus/covid-19-in-wa-premier-mark-mcgowan-set-to-announce-major-easing-of-restrictions-c-6551780
“WA’s indoor mask rules could be gone in days, with Premier Mark McGowan set to announce a major further easing of COVID restrictions for the State.
The Sunday Times understands the State Government is finalising plans to relax several of the remaining public health measures, with an announcement as early as this week.
It’s understood that the current rule, making mask wearing compulsory in all indoor settings will go, replaced by new rules which will only require people to wear masks in specific settings, including hospitals.
Other Level 1 restrictions like the two square metre rule, the 75 per cent capacity limit at major stadiums and entertainment venues, proof of vaccination and isolation requirements for close contacts of a positive case are also likely to go.
It’s understood any decision will centre on advice from the Chief Health Officer that Western Australia is past its Omicron peak and has a triple dose vaccination rate of nearly 80 per cent.
Western Australia is the most vaccinated of all the Australian States, with the latest figures released on Friday indicating 78.6 per cent of the population aged 16 and above have had their third dose.
“The State Government is constantly reviewing all public health measures,” Mr McGowan said on Saturday.
“Together with our world-leading vaccination rate, they are the reason we have done so well with our Omicron wave and that is why we are now within reach of the soft landing WA has been working towards.
“I have always said restrictions will not be in place any longer than they are required.
“We won’t be taking any unnecessary risks, so when it is safe to further relax measures, we will, based on the latest health advice.
COVID restrictions in WA were most recently eased on April 14.
Hospitalisations, Intensive Care Unit admissions and deaths linked with COVID are all well down on what was originally modelled.
Western Australia recorded 7758 new cases on Saturday.
The total number of active cases was 44,683. At the peak of the Omicron wave, WA recorded 54,064 total active cases on April 1.
The highest number of daily cases was 9754 on March 29.
It is believed a recent rise in daily case numbers has been linked to the Easter holiday weekend, with a backlog of positive cases being recorded after family gatherings.
“Our extraordinarily high vaccination rates puts us in the best position to achieve a soft landing that would be the envy of the world,” Mr McGowan said.
“WA’s pandemic response has always been about savings lives, saving jobs and minimising the disruption in our community and our economy.”

Cynthia Albritton, also known as the legendary Cynthia Plaster Caster — the alias that sprung from her plaster casts of famous musician and artists’ body parts, mainly erect penises and women’s breasts — died on Thursday from cerebral vascular disease and added complications with neuropathy, her power of attorney for healthcare and longtime friend, Chris Kellner, confirmed to Rolling Stone. She was 74.
What began as a college art project that fulfilled her “groupie” love for music became a decades-long work. Albritton’s first famous cast was Jimi Hendrix. She went on to document a range of musicians from different genres and eras, including Dennis Thompson and Wayne Kramer of MC5, Pete Shelley of the Buzzcocks, Jello Biafra of the Dead Kennedys, as well the breasts of Laetitia Sadier of Stereolab, Peaches, and Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Her work spanned artists in other realms, including film.

News from SWWA-
Schoolmums are now actively bug-chasing, mixing kids and dogs and sleepovers and everything which could possibly be a virus vector, to deliberately catch batflu.
I’m serious, it’s happening, and it’s not in the closet. These are WIFOs with not much to lose and everything to gain- a few days off work for themselves maybe and trying to dosge the horror of iso in the donger for hubby, gambled against no more disruption to kids school, if they even get it.
But, the major factor is, working girls are coming to the crunchof their 3rd jab due, and saying that they will either get a stay after a positive dose… or lay off work over the winter, believing that fascism will go away in September.

You probably underestimate how long of a long game China plays. China was providing ‘strategic aid’ investment into Africa 40+ years ago – at a time when it was itself struggling in the third world.
Over the past 25 years China has patiently cultivated oil E&P in African shitholes at eye watering cost. Its dividend took a while, but CNOOC, Sinopec etc are now ubiquitous players across the continent – and China imports 1.25mmbbls/day from various terminals that wouldn’t be there without Chinese $billions.
They certainly have fucked up along the way – I guess your waxed-up pipeline example is Kingfisher. But in the end the big market, big dollar, big bribe, win-win-win gets the job done in places where western companies won’t go because political risk kills share price.
It’s not my industry, but Simandou shows all the signs of following East Africa Crude Oil Pipeline as an impossible project that somehow happened.

No, I’ve seen China’s “smart plays” on the ground for what they are. Regular clusterfks. There seems to be some here who endow the CCP with some kind of mystical wisdom. Of all Govts, somehow this particular Gov is smart, agile and great at executing plans. In fact they are a Govt of commos dedicated to central planning and as history has shown these regimes commonly fk everything they touch. Moreso outside their borders. The main reason they are trying to be big in Africa is because it’s a jurisdiction that really isn’t that favorable. The best ones are long taken.
It only gets the job done while your man is in power. Then it’s back to square one. And a project is only as good as it’s timing of delivery. Delays cost big big bucks.
The Chinese will try to diversify their supply of commodities but the timing is often horrible and the input costs enormous. That’s why they need the likes of us. Because Africa isn’t the answer to their needs in order for them to remain competitive or remain reliable supplier.

Ron Sterry is a champion who, after he saw his neighbour being stabbed on said neighbour’s front lawn, and also saw the neighbour’s assailant coming in to finish him off, grabbed a rifle and scared the assailant off. Brilliant stuff.
The NT jacks then tried to get him on firearms-related charges over that specific incident, which he beat. A righteous result, and fair enough.
As a result of a conversation with a bloke in Alice here during the week who actually knows what this is about, I can add the following from a bit closer to home than the author of that piece:
Yep.
The ‘support’ bit would have consisted of them turning up later, after the original cops called them in. There is footage on the site purporting to be four NT cops wandering down the driveway of the house, cheerily on the way to the front door. That is not how the Drug Squad anywhere execute search warrants.
The warrant will say ‘search the premises or place’. That means anything – removing floorboards and walls. I am told – apparently – that the lawyer told the jacks his firearms would be surrendered by appointment to prevent damage to the safe.
Ron says it’s ‘chilli oil and vinegar’. The jacks are allegedly saying it’s methampethamine precursor drugs, and lots of it*. Ron is said to be a minor associate of people that make a lot of things usign chemistry as a mechanism.
Look. Everyone should have guns, or have the ability to have them. No question. Also, Ron did a brave and righteous thing saving his neighbour. Also no question.
But it doesn’t make him a hero in all things forever, and this substandard lionising by whoever wrote that does not do the proposition that everyone who owns guns is a king within his castle any favours at all.
*A variant of ‘nah, they’re me tomato plants’.
I quite liked this today on the interwebs
So the Hilary Campaign lawyers are attempting to utilize an insane defense strategy. They committed treason, and are claiming that they should not be prosecuted for their crimes because the case is “incoherent and too complicated for a jury to understand”.
This is why these high level crime organizations use so many proxies. To convolute and distort their network to make it difficult to discover and prosecute if they were to get caught. As well as obviously insulate the people at the top.
The Clinton legal team stooping to this level indicates they are running out of options. And the response from Durham was the legal equivalent of saying “That bullshit isn’t going to work, we caught you.”
He cited the Maxwell case as a legal precedent that there does not need to be a defined pact in writing to prove a “conspiracy”. Going on to cite the proof of the greater conspiracy network.
Pause. Clinton campaign lawyers have been indicted and are implicated in a literal “conspiracy” as per the US DOJ… The corrupt left-wing media simply refuse to acknowledge this reality. Therefore their sheep don’t know anything about this case and their sense of reality manipulated by the omission of fact.
Citing the Maxwell case was a not so subtle jab to the Clinton camp. It was a message. A not so friendly reminder that we are prosecuting their pedo friends in a highly complex federal conspiracy case as we speak. We are coming for all of them.
Everyone should feel incredibly motivated by the posture of the Durham team and their no-nonsense approach to this case. Don’t get discouraged just because you don’t see headlines on MSM. The Revolution will not be televised.
The betrayal by SCOTUS was unforgivable and a repudiation of the rule of law.

If you’re so concerned about Uke Nazis, do you think South Korea should attack the Stalinist’s of NK? I mean, there’s not much space between Nazis and Stalinist’s, right?
But it doesn’t make him a hero in all things forever, and this substandard lionising by whoever wrote that does not do the proposition that everyone who owns guns is a king within his castle any favours at all.
The cops have got a long and storied history of being complete arseholes. No one gives a fuck about nuance anymore as a result.
Absolutely correct.
I expect you told them to go fuck themselves when they got your own guns back and charged the two punters for the dozen-odd burglaries you were taking about a while ago.
Don’t get me wrong. The jacks in recent years have deserved everything they got – in particular Victorian jacks – every single thing. If anything, it’s probably been milder than deserved.
But whoever wrote that shit in a very partisan (and semi-literate) shooters’ website does their interest group no favours by clearly and loudly pretending Ron and his ‘chilli oil’ are being targeted unfairly because he had a public win once.
Gimme a break.
We never had any contracts to supply Asia with Sheepmeat.
From 1941 to 1966 everything went to Great Britain under a 25 year Deal Menzies had made with the British Government.
’66 to ’73 was the transition period away from the British Market and we exported to Japan, Korea, the United States and some non EU Countries.
I’m of the opinion that being slaughtered by Australian’s on Union forced high wages
That’s great.
I worked in the Industry at that time, Wages accounted for 7% of the running costs of a large Meatworks.
7%.
Vicki, if you’ve seen viable reports of horrid conditions on livex ships, why would it be that the animal activists & the anti-livex crazies have never got their hands on these viable reports?
Coz if they ever did, they’d be ramming them down our necks, instead of the dodgied-up propaganda they’ve been using.
This is absolutely correct.
This is why they have over invested in Australia over the past 20 years. China is uncomfortably aware of their exposure in iron ore, coal, and gas – hence the near hysteria in Sino-Australian relations as the US has become less accommodating in the post-Obama era.
Might well be true, but that’s not their opinion. China has spent 40 years fine tuning their shithole skills and dark arts – and (at least in the oil patch) they reckon them as a strategic advantage.
Excellent question.
Looks like the Abronayzee basement strategy has worked a treat.
Snow cones all round.

Where do people read this crap.
Here-
All three of President Donald Trump’s Supreme Court appointees — Justices Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett — joined Chief Justice John Roberts and the three liberal justices in declining to hear Texas v. Pennsylvania.
In a short order issued Friday, the Court declared that Texas lacked standing to bring its case against Pennsylvania and three other states whose election rules were changed outside their respective state legislatures, as the Constitution requires.
Throughout Barrett’s confirmation process this past fall, Democrats suggested that Trump had appointed her in exchange for favorable judgements during the election. Barrett denied that the president had ever raised the election with her at all.
The three new Trump appointees voted with their liberal colleagues, whose votes were never in doubt. Roberts has lately moved toward the liberal camp, and voted accordingly. Ironically, only Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito, both appointed by Trump’s Republican predecessors (George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush, respectively), voted to hear the case. Four justices out of the nine would have had to agree to hear the case for it to have proceeded at the Supreme Court.
Conservative radio host Mark Levin, commenting on the Court’s decision, remarked that it may have “slit its own throat,” because the same rules being challenged in Georgia would apply to the Senate runoffs in January, and Democrats have discussed packing the Court with new liberal justices if they win both Senate seats and take control of the upper chamber.

Animal Activists are part of the Labor Party Push.
They don’t add any value to the discussion, so why keep bringing them up?
Because they’re waaacists. They only ever whinge about the (allegedly) terrible conditions the poor animals face when they end up in an islamic paradise and are then (allegedly) less than humanely slaughtered.
BTW, all this shit first came to prominence in the seventies, because I remember my brother remarking on it at the time, “They expect some abattoir* worker to pray to Allah while facing east and slitting the beast’s throat?”

Chris Tarrant looked at its history in an episode of Extreme Railway Journeys. It was incredible how they got the railway line over the Great Rift Valley.
I expect you told them to go fuck themselves when they got your own guns back and charged the two punters for the dozen-odd burglaries you were taking about a while ago.
If it wasn’t for the stupid rules that they so love, and love to fuck people over, the guns would never have been in the safe. Oh, and they threatened to charge me on multiple occasions. Oh, and if I had of been there and produced a firearm on the three fucks who were breaking in, they would have charged me regardless of circumstances. Oh, and the fucks who did me over had been operating at full steam for two years and the cops had no fucking idea of an operation that was so big that they had a warehouse in Geelong and were inventorying items for future theft to order on an IPad.
So no, they don’t get a free pass for accidentally part solving a crime…
Coz if they ever did, they’d be ramming them down our necks, instead of the dodgied-up propaganda they’ve been using.
No, they wouldn’t.
These people’s role is to muddy the waters of any important issue, then discredit the opposition.

Different case Milton.
The key case was the Alito summary ruling.
It killed the Pennsylvania case that was about absentee (postal) votes.
All cases about absentee (postal) voting being unconstitutional died on the spot.
The only real stinker ruling from SCOTUS over the past 2 years was when ACB summarily ruled that the Indiana students from state colleges had no standing when it came to disputing vaccine mandates.
The biggest issues surrounding the Supreme Court are when single justices rule on standing before letting serious cases in front of the full court.
The Pennsylvania case (absentee votes) was progressed because they thought Alito would rule favourably.
The Indiana case (state vaccine mandates) was progressed because they thought ACB would rule favourably.
How wrong they were.

My father was once on an expedition in the bush there during his time in the police in the 50s or 60s. At dinner time his companion had a couple of underlings appear with a camp table to eat off complete with white table cloth, silverware and napkins. Dad was mildly shocked and queried him about it, the reply being “any damn fool can be uncomfortable”. Different time I guess.

I think you mentioned in the last thread a coming feature of music 1962 – 1971.

As a trainee nurse during those years these tunes kept us going at times as every day we listened to Bob Rogers, 300 of us living in the nurses home only allowed to go home on our two days off a week. Those from the country areas were stuck there.
Still the fascist (and dangerous) mandatory vaccinations exist in too many areas, preventing people doing their normal jobs, contributing to inflation, unemployment and supply chain issues. Just like they planned it.
Take a look at a map. RUS now controls everything south of the Dneiper from Crimea to the Donbass. It also now has control of the area around Kharkov, south to the Donbass, including Izyum. And it has control of the immediate area north of the Dneiper above Kherson and the approaches of Krivoy Rog. This wasn’t the case 7 weeks ago.
UKR had the second largest armed force in Europe, second only to RUS. It has been fighting in the Donbass for 8 years, trained by NATO forces, and financed to the tune of billions by the US alone.
What’s to guess? Whether the primary objective was to capture Kiev or fix UKR forces in the north at the capital while the eastern and southern forces established their positions for offensive operations. And they weren’t handed their arses. The kill ratio in the north was about 1:1; pretty good for an advancing force were the advantage goes to the defence.
What objectives have been swapped? Let alone every week? They’re taking Crimea and Donbass off the table. They’re about to destroy the UKR in the Donbass which is about 60K strong. They’re probably going to take Nikolaev and Odessa too which will give RUS two more Black Sea ports and landlock whatever remains of the UKR. And, no, depending on the circumstance, you can be bolder or more modest with your objectives.
If RUS wins if won’t be embarrassing to them in the slightest. And, if you take nukes off every table, RUS is still top three.

Ftb is largely right. These matters were well within the control of state and federal Republicans to deal with rather than hoping SCOTUS would save the day. Even in the immediate post-election period, GA state and federal Republicans were too corrupt, incomperent, and stupid to investigate the matter, and their response was so poor they lost the Senate run-off election and control of the Senate.

there’s a few no-name rose, and semillon that I don’t hold much hope for but, there’s also a couple of late harvest Rieslings that I’m especially interested in and two Tahbilk Cab-Rose that may make it over the line.
time will tell.
under the other cupboards I found cake-tins
like mage cake-tins for tiered wedding cakes
and a collection of nanna’s silver plate
the old man had even squirreled away his own old man’s engraved silver-plated 1924 best and fairest award.
unreal … what a hoot.

Richard Marles: Submits draft of speech to China for pre-approval.
ALP gets all het up & stirry when Scomo says “ALP is on China’s side“
I’m really glad Rabz decided on the 60s for his next radio show. I wasn’t sure even what electronica is which was a previous leader. I thought any music created on a synthesiser would be electronic music which isn’t a genre but a method. But what do I know.
ALP cannot answer: Is China a threat or an opportunity?
Coz they do not understand ambiguity of the question. If you’re ALP, it is very straightforward, China is the boss.
just in case anybody cares
reckon the kitchen went in round 2004
tiles are thrown on top of the original floor and laid on plastic film with an expanded metal mesh as the substrate
should be able to rip it up ok
though, I’ll bet that section which looks like fake bamboo float is glued onto the original shit-wood
the kitchen itself is quality.
solid American oak
almost a crime, but I think we’ll paint it

Australian Labor Party does get all sweaty in the crutch and puffy in the jowls when any such allegation is made, indeed.
France and Germany supplying weapons to Russia could well be a cause of EU dissolution. East European countries will feel betrayed particularly when they are bearing the major burden of Ukrainian refugees.
Doesn’t this also illustrate French and German contempt for Biden?
COVID-B plays the brown note. 446 Hz.

Crossie, Apparently the Frogs & the Jerries have been supplying civilian use only (snork snork) weaponry to Ivan for the past 8 years, in direct breach of sanctions imposed in 2014 coz of Ivan’s Crimean nastyness.
Not sure if they’ve been supplying since the Russkis slipped into the Ukes.
I’m now waiting for the outrage from the lefty flogs who were so vocal about “oil for food” and set about ruining the career of Wheat Board execs who managed to feed some starving Iraqis.
Someone mentioned the blue colour in the swarf was evidence of good machining technique.
Anyone care to comment?
..
No.
It’s evidence that there isn’t any cooling fluid being used.
I can’t imagine that the Baltic republics or the Scandinavians are feeling anymore secure knowing the French and Germans are arming the Russians. What a strange and dangerous world the greens have wrought.
A race-based bioweapon!
Oh no! It looks like sabotage was at least partly to blame for Putin’s failure to take Kyiv –
This can’t stand. Russia MUST regroup by moving at least 10 brigades all the way around the north again and try to take Kyiv once more!
I am going down to the Cenotaph and no-one is going to stop me!

Freedom, for me, is not being obliged to obey rules generated by those who are more ignorant and stupid than I am. So there has been a considerable diminution of my freedom in the last two years.
I do not take kindly to it.
Andrew Bolt: Bob Katter playing identity politics
Bob Katter sure knows how to play identity politics with an ABC audience and panel, not one of whom dared call him out when he identified himself as Aboriginal.
A judge once said I’d broken the law by suggesting some people with fair skin made a choice to identify as Aboriginal.
Clearly he hadn’t met Bob Katter, let alone Professor Bruce Pascoe.
Katter (below) is the maverick federal politician who on the ABC’s Q&A last week decided to call himself Aboriginal.
Katter might talk like his gearbox fell out, but he sure knows how to play identity politics with an ABC audience and panel, not one of whom dared call him out.
Turning to Morrison government minister Keith Pitt, Katter stormed: “You won’t give my mob the right to own a piece of land … why would you refuse a person, because he’s black living in a black community, the right to own a piece of land?”
Later, he again posed as a victim of racism: “Everyone on Earth has a beer, if we have a beer, we blackfellas, we get a criminal charge.”
Katter even messed with host David Speers, who seemed too scared to tell Katter he was posing as Aboriginal for bullying rights: “We were almost annihilated as a race of people, we Australians …
“David, I come from Cloncurry and I’m dark … and we made a hell of a bad mistake 250 years ago, letting you whitefellas in.”
In fact, Katter’s great-grandfather on his father’s side signed a statutory declaration in 1905 saying he was born in Bcharre, now in modern Lebanon, though Katter exploded at a journalist who four years ago called his grandfather Lebanese.
“No, he’s not,” he shouted. “He’s an Australian and I resent strongly you describing him as Lebanese. That is a racist comment.”
Of course, this isn’t the first time Katter has chosen to be Aboriginal for a left-wing crowd. Five years ago, again on the ABC, he said: “I identify as a blackfella on occasion and I’ll identify this time as a blackfella – we are the most land-rich people on Earth, we blackfellas in Australia, and we are not allowed to use it.”
But a decade ago, he admitted: “I’m not too sure where my racial background has come from, but I am not going to argue if someone calls me a blackfella.”
When you can win arguments on the ABC by being Aboriginal, who can blame Katter for running with it? Question is, how many others do the same?
Thank you to the ANZACS may the sacrifice and suffering not be in vain –
and the cost of looking the other way is born by the nation whose ‘leaders’ are blinded by narrow self-interest. God bless Australia may she prevail
Johannes Leak.
Likewise.
But I will note with interest any protest activity at any of the Dawn Services, because in my very firm view today is not the day for that.
It is my fervent hope that anyone using ANZAC Day Dawn Services as a protest mechanism – for anything – gets, from the crowd, the same treatment that monumental fuckstick did at Friday’s NRL game when he decided to look for attention during the minute’s silence.

Thanks, Tom. David Rowe has a foul mind.
100% agree
Seems St Jacinda in NZ has decreed no normal ANZAC day activities in NZ.
But I will note with interest any protest activity at any of the Dawn Services, because in my very firm view today is not the day for that.
The only legitimate protest would have been turning up when attendance was banned.
Exxon Bans BLM And Pride Flags From Being Flown Outside Of Their Offices
Is the tide turning?
This is after LBGTQ shit being on the home page for three years straight? And the Australian Country manager sending out the most grossly ill informed piece of idiocy supporting BLM?
They’re fucking Woke Oil, my guess is that one of the main reasons I got fired was because I dared to dissent from the narrative of the day. They’d just spent 18 months beating the workforce into vaccine submission.
They’d decided the easiest route out of the COVID hysteria was to comply their way out via pressuring their workforce. Rather than pointing out the obvious insanity of shutting down a country for two years.
Any idea who Dr. Chetty is?
South African Doctor who successfully treated huge numbers of COVID patients. IIRC by being ready for the allergic reaction on the 7th or 8th day that typically finished people off.
“The claim is “unintelligible nonsense,” said Dr. Mark Schleiss, a pediatrics professor and faculty member in the Division of Pediatric Infectious Diseases at the University of Minnesota.”
Are we supposed to believe Chetty was really able to ‘monitor’ patients who developed regular pneumonia and covid 19 pneumonia? He’s a GP; did none of his pneumonia patients get admitted to hospital?
And how come none of the other trusted internet covid doctors make the same claims?
doctors dispute claim
And I thought covid was just the sniffles .
The presence of politicians at ANZAC Day commemorations is galling, now more than ever.
A more spineless, self serving group of malignant personalities cannot be imagined.
They disgust me beyond words.
Always was.
Probably going to miss the service today, too much happening re getting crops in the ground ahead of this rain. I’m sure they won’t mind.
Various family will be there.
Hope everyone has a good day.
Morrison’s turned up for the Darwin dawn service.
No ukelele tunes as yet.
This x1000.
Bob Moran simultaneously horrifying and hopeful.
Possibly not a great time to live in a large city.
The media managed to convince the French voters that Macron is at the centre and that Le Pen is “extreme right”, when she’s only a sensible bit to the right of Macro Man.
He did the usual “govern for everybody” speech, which later transforms into “you lost so we do everything our way”.
Wow- Macaroon got back in? How fucked can you get.
The Australian has a piece headed “Piers Morgan standing up for free speech”.
This is the same guy who just yesterday on Outsiders said he’d seen no evidence of voter fraud in the 2020 election.
2000 Mules, which has all the evidence anyone could need, comes out in early May. There has been plenty of statistical analysis already, but this doco has hard data on what the ballot mules actually did, where they went, how many drop boxes they serviced.
Murdoch and his media empire has always been globalist with a big dollop of contempt for everyman. Any hint that they were not was just game playing.
The Australian was noted for its ‘posh radicalism’ when it first started.
Localized global warming.
Seems an apt celebration of Lenin’s birthday.
Macron is:
– fiscally conservative
– pro-nuclear
I think the centre label is appropriate. Where do our pro-nuke pollies lie?
Macaroon was complicit in the police assaults on the yellow vests along with jacing up the cost of fuel for ordinary workers. Macaroon is open borders.
No he’s not.
France to close 14 nuclear reactors by 2035: Macron (2018)
He’s a nutter like the rest of the Left. Recall that he was a member of the Socialist Party and was the Economy Minister in the socialist Hollande government. If you believe either of those two points I have a bridge to sell you.

These are the close relations of my wife and mine who served. We must be a only a few of the families that didn’t lose anyone. Growing up it seemed all the kids I knew had missing granddads and uncles. What lives gone defending their loved ones and the waste of Nancy Boys that pass for Leaders these days. All those rellies never talked about the war. My Granddad only said he couldn’t stand the smell of shit coz he’d had enough in the Somme. All those men were far better than I will ever be. It was an honour to know them all.

Set the flag at the local memorial and made sure it’s neat and tidy. There’s no service but people come out from town later in the day to pay respect.
ABC radio running their marginal seat reports. Once again, no one votes LNP and they’re all primarily concerned about climate change. What are the odds?
Biden met with Hunter Biden business partner at White House in 2010: Report
Beijing Prepares to Decouple/In the Wake of Multiple Concerns, CNOOC exiting from US, Canada and UK
less than 10 years after entering the Canadian, U.S., and U.K. markets, CNOOC is now preparing to withdraw completely. While exiting some Western markets, CNOOC has planned to list on the Shanghai Stock Exchange.
This shows that Beijing does fear secondary sanctions from countries like the US. Nonetheless, it’s also possible that the pro-Russian faction within the divided Communist Party has had to concede in order to appease the internal opposition.
It appears the U.S. government has realized that under the current international environment, as well as the internal environment in China, if the U.S. and China really decouple financially, it will be the CCP that can’t afford it, not the U.S.

Politics has been hijacked by the chattering classes and Big Media.
What the majority of Australians want is irrelevant.
Correct- 1974 is my crossover year. The year they introduced multiculturalism- apart from being divisive and dangerous, it was also highly insulting.
Thanks to Flash Al Grassby, the r-sole of multiculturalism.

Not much; the 14 new plants he’s promised will replace the 14 he shut down, albeit with newer technology.
Like the nuclear powered turbine, it’s all about spin.
As long as you didn’t claim the attributes of those whose names are chipped into the granite as your own.
Or declare those who didn’t choose precisely that form of protest as lacking in patriotism.

However the Constitutional crisis from SCOTUS doing jack shit will be the deciding factor about a separation of the Northern & Southern US.
But I’d say the stories by Kurt Schlicter would be a rough outcome.
If it happens, it won’t be a separation of the north and south, but the north-east and west from the rest. Possibly with parts of the NE and west splitting from their current states to join the bulk of the nation.
Regime Media.
That is a long time for the advocacy people to come up with a benefit of multiculturalism; you know, apart from the restaurants.
Macron is also despoiling the French countryside with wind farms – 40GW by 2050 – a high price to pay for a largely symbolic input in the greater scheme of things (although it would power c. 33 time travelling DeLoreans), but it placates the greens.
He’s the consummate pragmatic politician, a.k.a. a “centrist”.
100%.
Interestingly the Russians have moved very quickly to salvage something or other from the sunken Moskva.
I wonder what they’re after and if there might be two of them?
Le Pen lost because of urban-rural and age divide. Boomer support for Macron was around two-thirds, and given their size demographically, if you lose them by this much you can’t win.
