Well, moving day has been brought forward to tomorrow.
First will be the family*, eight people in all. The tiler is frantically racing ahead**, trying to finish at least one bathroom, but so far he hasn’t been very inspiring and so contingencies are quietly in place.
Chickens will move next Thursday; last day on the lease which was their home. Kids will do a few trips, carrying the chickies on their laps in the back seat of the car to their new Taj Mahal quarters between the hot house and the vege garden.
Pups are already used to the new house, especially Dudley, who has set off with his dad to work*** every morning at 7:oo am every day since he arrived in our family. Otto, the prissy poodle, will manage the change… barely!
Best Man will shift the caravan onto the block tomorrow, just in case…
*BM and I will not move for another three or four weeks. My very frail, scrawny brother needs to go first.
**Son in Law had a tiler locked in weeks ago. He, the tiler, rang last Tuesday to say that the job was too big for him at this stage. Lucky to get this new guy at short notice… I guess.
Three month old border collie Dudley is a (naughty) sweetheart. Never misses a day of work. Always ready to lend a hand. Utterly adorable, annoying, exasperating, clever, stupid… depending on the situation.

Being a “traveller” here is fun – like the tide line on the shore, it’s changing daily…but one thing is a constant. People you have met, say a thousand kilometres away, finally wash up at the same time as you do. Tonight we re-met a guy who we first met at Katherine. It’s like a reunion. This has happened a few times over the trip.
The hi-viz guys reminded me that this is a productive, working town. That great hole and the massive stacks just on the edge of the highway trumpet “wealth”. The biggest stack dominates the town, unapologetic and all-seeing. Like a great emperor surveying its minions, it summons all to serve the mine. Its smaller stacks stand deferentially like concubines, admiring its magnificence. I believe the site is an attraction in itself at night – no doubt visible from Mars.
And so, as if attracted by a monstrous magnet, I have drifted from pub to pit.

Gigi Foster really ripped into the way Covid has been managed and misrepresented as a success story. Claims for thousands of lives saved rest not on reality but computer simulations. A cost benefit analysis that talks only about benefits and ignores costs is propaganda. She talks a million miles an hour and the usual shills on the panel were flattened.

Perceptive, BG. We’re living in a strange end-of-times, where a trendy neologism or yasss girl! sassy swipe can seem to win hearts and minds, dominate the debate and settle subjects outright. It’s enabled by twitter-length attention spans, by news makers and consumers alike.
The ADD switch is also triggered by expressions of outrage or a declaration of “unacceptable” by a listener.
A lot of fun can be had just by asking a lefty lecturer to define terms. Because, if you can disarm the nukular deterrent which protects a lot of neologisms, they often can’t even compose a single sentence which holds under its own internal gravity.

Actually, this is the only way to avoid a Labor government. Libs are losing 2PP to Labor. But UAP/PHON/LDP are winning 2PP against Labor. The only way to ensure that no UAP/PHON/LDP preferences spill to Labor – and Labor thereby wins – is to ensure they are not eliminated.

Much like black holes – nobody knows, exactly. You just know that it is there.
I may have mentioned this previously – the Northern Territory Government is a collection of failed local businessmen and bored housewives, all with delusions of adequacy. Regardless of which version holds the reins, it’s an incompetent* shitfest – but one with plenty of forlorn ‘we’re trying really hard here’ moments, a la the NSW Health chick post-Ruby Princess.
Nominally in charge of boundless natural resources, proximity to Asia and with plenty of investor interest, they manage to cock all of this up time and again. Generally someone blames Canberra, then asks it for money.
Their public servants are the usual variety of hamster-wheelers permanently operating in neutral, albeit without the suit jackets – and this is why it is unsurprising in the least to find they have cocked up the CHO directions they thought would make it mandatory to be vaxxed before turning up to work.
Wait until July when the Federal Intervention legislation expires, and all the indig communities have their ‘dry’ status revoked. Hooo boy.
*A month or so ago the Opposition called somebody in government ‘incompetent’ in Parliament. Such was said (Labor) government’s outrage that they actually banned the use of that word so you couldn’t say ‘incompetent’ any more.

Anchor What – epidemiologist Geert Van Den Bossche is still convinced that the decision to vaccinate during a pandemic will drive the virus, through evolutionary pressure, to become not only more infectious, but more virulent. He says the repeated infections of the vaccinated is indicative.
Just listened yesterday to his most recent discussion and he is predicting new and deadly waves of the mutations. Will post later.
Hope he is wrong. But he had been right about the failure of the vaccines to stop infection & transmissibility.

Simon Holmes a Court’s apologises for poll booth spat with Liberal Senator Jane Hume
Millionaire political activist Simon Holmes a Court has apologised to a female government minister after confronting her at a polling station, sparking allegations of bullying as bewildered voters looked on.
Kooyong candidate Monique Ryan on Thursday distanced herself from her well-heeled climate donor, declaring his spat with Superannuation Minister Jane Hume had nothing to do with her campaign.
Ms Ryan spent an awkward day after Mr Holmes a Court reacted on Wednesday after being accused of bad taste and anti-Semitism over a tweet attacking former prime minister John Howard as the “angel of death” over his record on climate change.
Mr Holmes a Court was videoed confronting Senator Hume outside the polling station in Melbourne’s inner east, refusing to end the clash and later being described by an onlooker as a bully. “Bullying, bullying,” the woman can be heard to say on the video, which was released by the Liberal Party.
“Senator Hume has repeatedly used her position to spread lies and misinformation about me for several years,’’ he said. “Despite remaining calm throughout the conversation, it is clear that a public space was not the forum to ask her to retract her lies, and for that, I apologise to Senator Hume.”
Holmes a Court’s bullying of Senator Hume was not good optics and even he knows that. He was caught out and good on Josh for filming it. Holmes a Court is a repulsive human being but given his repulsive parentage, hardly surprising.
Hunter Biden and his company brought in around $11 million over a five-year span, most of which was while his father was Vice President of the United States, according to an analysis by of his abandoned laptop by NBC News obtained through Rudy Giuliani.

Eyrie, I have thought about it. If Putin wanted the Donbas why not do a massive occupation, expel the Ukrainian population and open peace negotiations? There would then be no massive destruction to tug at the world’s heartstrings in favour of Ukraine and no Ukrainian refugees throughout Europe. Ukrainian rules from the Donbas would have been absorbed by otherwise unscathed Ukraine.
That’s why I think the whole of Ukraine was the goal and maximum destruction as a warning to other neighbours.

The summary of yesterday’s proceedings in the Dawson trial:
Chris Dawson ‘groomed me and then made me his sex slave’
Former schoolteacher Christopher Dawson’s babysitter has declared that he groomed her when she was a child then turned her into his “sex slave” after allegedly murdering his wife, Lynette.
In a second dramatic day of evidence, JC, as she is called in court, said by the end of her stifling and at times violent relationship with Mr Dawson, she feared for her life.
She testified that he had moved her into the family home just days after Lyn went missing, and from that first night and onwards she slept in the marital bed.
Lyn’s underwear, clothing, diamond rings and other belongings were still in her bedroom, and JC was told she could keep anything she wanted.
On January 15, 1984, two years after Lyn vanished from Sydney’s northern beaches, JC married Mr Dawson, her former high school physical education teacher.
She said behind the smiles in the wedding photographs provided to Mr Dawson’s Supreme Court murder trial on Thursday was a far more sinister story.
As the guests were leaving, her brand new husband grabbed her around the neck with both hands, she said.
It was “frightening” and happened “for no good reason”.
Another photo of JC displayed on screens in the courtroom was taken on February 11, 1982, her 18th birthday.
It was a month after Lyn went missing, and JC was standing inside the home that Chris and Lyn built at Bayview in Sydney’s northern beaches.
“Could I just make a comment about that? Those clothes are Lyn’s clothes that I’m wearing,” she said.
A third photo was from December 23, 1981. It was the day she and Mr Dawson, who was twice her age, packed their belongings into his car and headed off “to start a new life” in Queensland.
They turned back when JC became sick and regretful. She didn’t want to run away and leave everything and everyone she knew.
She didn’t want to be with Mr Dawson at all, she told the court. “There was a lot of pressure to stay with him. I was just a child and I didn’t want that.”
In early January 1982, JC travelled to South West Rocks, 450km north of Sydney.
She called Mr Dawson every day because he asked her to. He “wanted to know exactly what I was doing” and said “he couldn’t live without me”.
Then he told her: “Lyn’s gone, she’s not coming back.”
The next day, he was at South West Rocks in his Toyota Corolla station wagon at dawn. She and her sister left in the car.
JC arrived back in Sydney around January 10 or 11.
Lyn was allegedly murdered on or around the night of January 8.
JC became “the live-in babysitter slash mother”, taking care of Chris and Lyn Dawson’s two young children, then four and two, she said.
“Having to learn to cook. Having to learn to clean. Having to learn to be the substitute housekeeper, sex slave, stepmother, babysitter. Slave. Just a slave,” she said.
In December 1984, they moved to a 3ha bush block in Yawalpah near Dreamworld on the northern Gold Coast.
JC called it “the compound”.
It had a 2m-high chain wire fence around it.
“I felt like a prisoner there,” she said.
Chris Dawson’s twin brother Paul moved to Queensland at the same time.
JC was by then 19 years old and heavily pregnant. She had her daughter on January 8, 1985.
She said she realised how different her feelings were for her baby from her feelings for Chris and Lyn’s two daughters.
Mr Dawson wanted her to be the mother for all three girls, and she didn’t feel that way.
She had never had a boyfriend before Mr Dawson, and hadn’t realised other women’s lives weren’t like hers until she met mothers at a playgroup.
When she came home and questioned Mr Dawson about it, “he forbade me going” and cut up the credit card.
She once bought a G-string and put it on for Mr Dawson, who told her she would only wear it for him. She told him she’d wear it whenever she saw fit.
“He got physically violent … and he ripped them off me. I was frightened,” she said.
Mr Dawson told her Lyn “went away with religious” people”.
When she pressed him, he said Lyn had been in Perth and was seen on the central coast.
As their marriage disintegrated, she went to see a lawyer in 1989. Mr Dawson had always said “You won’t have anything if you leave me”, and she wanted to know for sure.
Around the same time, she confronted him.
“I said ‘You got rid of your first wife, you could easily get rid of me’,” she told the court.
“He stood completely still … and said ‘Don’t say things like that’.”
JC left Mr Dawson in 1990 and returned to Sydney with her daughter. The same year, she met up with Lyn’s brother Greg Simms and his wife Merilyn at their home on the NSW central coast.
JC said she told them about Mr Dawson trying to get a hitman.
She testified about the same incident in court, saying that in October or November 1981 Mr Dawson drove her across the Sydney Harbour Bridge to a location where she was told to stay in the car.
Mr Dawson returned after what could have been 15 or 20 minutes. “He said, ‘I went inside to get a hitman to kill Lyn. But then I decided I couldn’t do it because innocent people … could be hurt,’ ” she said.
Mr Dawson took notes across the other side of the courtroom as JC gave her evidence and faced extensive cross-examination.
She accepted there was an inconsistency – in a police statement in 1990, she had said Mr Dawson told her about the hitman two weeks after they went for the drive.
Defence barrister Pauline David repeatedly asked JC if she was lying as part of a mission to destroy Mr Dawson.
“He’ll destroy himself for what he’s done to people … to me … and to Lyn. I’m telling the truth,” JC said.
Mr Dawson had behaved “inappropriately by favouring me, by brushing up against me” in the classroom as he walked past when she was a student, JC said.
“To me, that’s grooming.”
Cross-examination of JC will continue on Friday.

Thousands of years of science development sacrificed for political correctness
Grave concerns raised on Mungo Man group’s impending reburial
EXCLUSIVE
PAUL GARVEY
SENIOR REPORTER
@PDGarvey
The ancient remains of Mungo Man, Mungo Lady and 106 other individuals who roamed what is now the Willandra Lakes World Heritage Area tens of thousands of years ago will be buried next week, in a move that has angered Indigenous groups and scientists opposed to the move.
Traditional owners have been advised that the reburials in unmarked graves will go ahead next Thursday, although opponents of the plan have flagged that they may seek a legal injunction to prevent the move.
The burial date of May 26 is just two days before elections are due to be held for the Willandra Lakes Aboriginal Advisory Group, a body representing traditional owner groups from across the region and which has strongly supported the burial plans.
Indigenous leaders opposed to the reburial believe the current AAG does not represent the true wishes of the community.
Three of those dissenting leaders this week wrote to NSW Environment Minister James Griffin expressing their “great concern” about the impending reburial and flagging potential legal action to stop the reburial.
The discovery of the 40,000-year-old skeletons of Mungo Man and Mungo Lady in the 1970s changed scientific understanding of how humans populated the earth and ultimately saw the Willandra Lakes region declared a world heritage area.
They represent some of the oldest human remains discovered outside Africa and are some of the earliest known examples of ritual cremation.
But the discovery also triggered a decades-long debate over their future, with Indigenous communities divided on whether they should be returned to the earth or interred in a specially built “keeping place”.
The scientific community has warned that reburying the remains would see their remaining scientific secrets lost forever and put the world heritage status of the area at risk.
Federal Environment Minister Sussan Ley in April formally approved a reburial plan. A spokeswoman for Heritage NSW confirmed the impending reburial of the remains.
The latest public consultation by the department, completed earlier this year, received 162 public submissions. Eleven of 15 submissions from traditional owners and First Nations people supported reburial, but the plan was endorsed by only 35 per cent of academics and 42.9 per cent of other individuals.
A report by the department following the consultation said reburial was the preferred option of the AAG and was consistent with the wishes expressed by many elders and representatives over the past 40 years.
The man who first discovered the Mungo remains, 92-year-old geologist Jim Bowler, said he was “greatly disturbed” by the news.
He said the remains were treasures of both First Nation Australians and world history. “My enduring commitment involves a promise to Mungo Man. In whatever remains of my life, I live to ensure his legacy is honoured, not just by fellow Australians but by the wider world community.”

Awesome, completely untraceable phone calls for votes.
What could go wrong?
Election rules to change to ensure all Australians with COVID-19 can vote
Changes to voting rules will be made to ensure all Australians with COVID-19 will be allowed to vote in the federal election.
The original legislation meant anyone who tested positive before Tuesday but did not apply for a postal ballot could not vote on the phone.
But the Australian electoral commissioner has requested changes which have been accepted by the government.
This may sound silly – but I have always wondered why we don’t discover more skeletal remains of Aborigines. I mean – on our farms we are frequently turning over the earth, and often digging quite large excavations for various reasons. But you don’t hear of remains being unearthed. Now, this may be discreet landowners who don’t want to arouse unwanted attention. Fair enough. But I still think that it is odd.
I do recall a few years ago, down at Balmoral Beach (of all places) a police cordon being placed around some building work being done on a commercial building. Someone said they had unearthed human remains. I heard nothing more. But there is nearby a large sandstone overhang/rock shelter where anthropological excavations were done years ago.
Surely skeletal remains don’t disintegrate to that degree? Nor am I aware that cremation was universally practised. Maybe I am wrong.
Looks like the UAF is losing the ‘gains’ they made around Kharkov.
Awesome little clip hugh.
Because UAF fortified the areas of Donbass they controlled, and because if they are fighting the UAF in Donbass they are fighting the UAF where ever they are in UKR.
BTW, was this question even asked when NATO was fighting al Qaida?

Labor would deport visa holders convicted of crimes but tweak rules to ease New Zealand tensions
The Guardian understands a Labor government would ensure decisions better take into account the time a person has been in Australia
Guardian Australia understands a Labor government would continue deportations under section 501 of the Migration Act as currently in force, but would be likely to adjust the ministerial direction to ensure decisions better take into account the time a person has been in Australia.
The proposal would aim to address the disproportionate impact of the policy on citizens from New Zealand, which has long argued it is “corrosive” to the relationship to deport people who have lived most of their lives in Australia.
New Zealand’s foreign minister, Nanaia Mahuta, said in February the country was “concerned that Australia continues to send people to New Zealand who have never lived here and have no family or support networks at all”.
The potential changes to the ministerial direction envisaged by the Labor party would not require legislation to go through parliament.

We did the stretch on the track from Birdsville to Maree after rain a few years ago. We were driving our last Landcruiser (the great 80 Series which had then cloaked up about 400,000km) & towing an Ultimate camper. My God, it was an experience!
Incidentally, our subsequent Landcruiser 200 Series is not a patch on the old one. The seats are nowhere near as comfortable, the SatNav is crap, the battery died last week….I could go on and on.

Global banks and investment firms are bracing themselves for an “unprecedented” upsurge in civil unrest in the US, UK and Europe as energy and food price spikes are set to drive costs of living to astronomical levels, Byline Times can exclusively reveal.
The information comes from the head of a ‘financial institutions group’ – which provides expertise and advisory services to other banks, insurance companies, and other financial institutions – at one of the largest investment firms in the US.
The senior investment executive, who spoke to Byline Times on condition of anonymity because the information he revealed is considered highly sensitive, said that contingency planners at top financial institutions believe “dangerous levels” of social breakdown in the West are now all but inevitable, and imminent. An outbreak of civil unrest is expected to occur anytime this year, but most likely in the coming months as the impact of the cost of living crisis begins to saturate the lives of “everyone”.

Vicki, I believe that many tribes ‘buried’ the remains in trees and they just rot away, even the bones eventually. You need fairly specific conditions for remains to last for thousands of years.

…and for the record, whilst I worked in academia, for pollies and parliaments alike, my wife hates politics and even rang me from the booth line yesterday to ask how to fill in “the big form.” She remarks “do I put a tick or numbers?” LOL!
However, she is my true litmus test of public opinion; that’s fairly disinterested in politics and just gets on with life. She might catch the odd snippet on tellie every now and then. But, she has guessed the winner of each election correctly back to Kevin07.
I remember on election eve 2019 EVERYONE* was convinced Shitten was going to win. We were watching TV and she hadn’t seen a lot of him but she turns to me and goes “he’s a creep. Ugh, shivers.”
She’s seen a bit more of Albo than Shitten but she assures me he won’t win, at least, be popular: “He has a lisp, is aggro and very uncomfortable speaker in front of cameras.”
So, perhaps it’s all luck and she’s like that “predicting crocodile from the NT who eats the steak or the chicken in predicting an election outcome” but boy oh, do I hope she’s got her finger on the pulse again!

Those who do speak out are often younger activists – research has shown that half of people between 16 and 25 years old believe the Earth may be doomed, while three-quarters feel anxiety when they think or hear about climate change. Some speak openly of not wanting to bring children into a hotter, harsher world.
“Living in climate truth is like living in a nightmare. It’s absolutely horrible and I can understand why the vast majority of Americans don’t do it,” said Margaret Klein Salamon, a clinical psychologist turned climate activist. “But the worst part is that everyone’s acting normal – it’s like we are zombies. The sense of helplessness and hopelessness is holding back conversations and political action.”
Salamon leads an organization, called the Climate Awakening, that facilitates “climate emotions conversations” both in-person and virtually that encourage people to open up about their climate fears. Salamon said that many describe living in a sort of waking, powerless nightmare where an obvious catastrophe is unfolding but society just blithely ignores it.
“Some people have described it as like they are at a funeral but everyone else is treating it like a party,” said Salamon. “People are still going to college, planning for retirement, doing all the things as if the future will look just like the past when we know that’s not true. There’s a delusion of normalcy.”

Its incredibly strange.
Every country is being told renew-balls are ‘too cheap to meter”, yet all who are embracing the transition are facing ruinous price increases.
I have seen our gas and electricity charges double. We have just had our toughest winter yet as I couldn’t afford to turn on the heating. Instead, we bundled up in bed to stay warm. There is now a minimum of a third less in my shopping basket for the same money. It’s largely fresh food we are cutting back on, short shelf-life items, tiny luxuries and toiletries too, but even that won’t be enough soon. We are pretty savvy shoppers, people who are used to life on a low income, but this is absolutely impossible to manage and we cannot plan for this as costs continue to rise, and a terrifying winter comes into view.
Not a mention of green policies in the whole article.
Just a reference to “greedy energy companies” and the usual scarecrows thrown up to avoid reality.
Yay! When you phone Telstra faults, you are now informed there is a “dedicated First Nations team to help Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders”.

The best case scenario from my ‘culminating in Ukraine’ post for RuAF seems to be occurring in Donbass. The significance of Popasna seems to be playing out in real time with major breakouts in multiple directions, and any line of supply and retreat for UAF troops in Severodonetsk agglomeration is fast disappearing. The deterioration in Donbas is part of the reason why UAF is pulling troops from the Kharkov ‘counter-offensive’ down to Donbas to plug many, many holes.

Concerning ‘China’s Master Plan to Destroy America’
by Lawrence Kadish
May 19, 2022 at 9:30 am
There seem to be so many policy decisions now that would appear to help America’s adversaries such as Russia and especially China, rather than what is best for America, that, on February 2, 2022, the Republican Leader of the House of Representatives, Kevin McCarthy — despite a disagreement with former President Donald Trump and a subsequent “genuflection” by way of apology — after mentioning the current administration’s “self-created crises,” noted that “Almost every page,” of the Biden Administration’s 3000 page America Competes Act “has a provision that helps China but hurts America.” McCarthy cited, among other matters:
Re Roger @10.07am :
Not surprised if unrest is expected overseas because of energy supply shortages. But – they are also going to happen here as well, given our determination to “kill the goose that laid the golden egg”:
This is from Jo Nova’s blog today:
What I want to know is why she is buying pizza.
Yes, nasty shocks coming, that’s for sure, Vicki.
As I jokingly alluded though, it may spell the end of the AGW scam.
Cost of living already features higher on the list of election issues that climate change.
The big problem is that the damage already done may take decades to undo.
It is interesting and frightening to be in the UK and watch a whole nation of intelligent people submit willingly, or perhaps without serious complaint, to utterly destructive policies peddled and implemented by marxist freak shows like Johnson and his floozie, and institutions of repression like the NHS.
The minor stuff is already implemented – restaurants ranting about their horrible vegan menus – local councils imposing idiot laws like total right of way for bikes – almost universal acceptance of EV’s including the idiotic belief that recharges will remain at fourteen pound fifty.
Of course this cosmetic idiocy sits on top of established lunacy like acceptance of Islamic terror and cops policing speech.
But it is acceptance of the latest final push for destruction of the nation that is so startling.
In the short months that I have been here food prices have gone through the roof while the enablers of destruction scream praise of rewilding, destocking, defarting, banning sprays and emasculation the transport and distribution system.
There was not a ripple when it was revealed that the head of the BBC climate department peddled lies during COP.
The people have just been told that the next energy cost increase will be 100%. Not a peep from talking heads, and nobody in the streets.
To complete the destruction, local councils are increasing council taxes at will and reducing services while hiring more and more enforcer thugs.
There is an almost complete unwillingness to blame Government for these disasters. The Brits are seemingly conditioned to submission by the Covid fascism.
I would like to believe that Oz will be different when armageddon arrives on Sunday, but Victoria tells me otherwise.
You should mention that TE.

Event 202: What are Smallpox Pandemic Simulations Foreshadowing?
From Event 201 to the controversial decisions of the Obama and Trump Administrations to remove a moratorium placed on funding gain of function research, to the seemingly preemptive declaration of Anthony Fauci in 2017 that the US would soon face a pandemic, it seems like the writing was on the wall all along for the outbreak of COVID-19. Although hindsight is 20/20, it also imbues us with foresight in the atypical event that we actually learn from our mistakes. As the United States announces its first confirmed domestic cases of monkeypox in 2022, parallels between what led up to the COVID-19 pandemic appear to be eerily similar. That similarity is echoed in Europe, where the actions of public health bureaucracies appear every bit as analogous. To tie a bow around those developments, the emergence of an NGO-backed global narrative has been authored by a panel entrusted by the World Health Organization that may serve as the script for whatever stage has been set.
Just as Event 201 simulated the global response to a coronavirus pandemic just months before its actual onset, Germany has chosen to enact a similar exercise concerning an outbreak of smallpox, hosting health ministers from other G7 nations. This decision follows the release of a report from the Independent Panel for Pandemic Preparedness and Response (“IPPPR”). Despite issuing a report to the WHO last year titled “Making COVID-19 the Last Pandemic, the IPPPR report on the threat of a global monkeypox outbreak projects that the virus could kill as many as 250 million of the 3 billion infections it forecast over an 18 month period.
