Correction …
LNP 31
ALP 25
Greens 12
PHON 2
Jacqui Jackie Party 2
Teal Pocock 1
Total confirmed or likely 73
So it looks like ALP + Greens + Pocock = 38 not counting three positions which are in doubt.
One has the ALP listed as ahead in WA which would take the Liars to 39.
The other two in doubt are UAP and PHON. -
An excerpt from a Hun piece on Sophie Scamps’ win in Mackellar. The teal drawbridge is already being raised, and the matching portcullis dropped:
[F]ellow ‘teal’ and independent Zali Steggall from neighbouring Warringah said in her victory speech on Saturday that she had wanted to see more smart, professional women in Canberra and “through the community movement” gender parity had been achieved.
Her dreams are realised. The ‘smart, professional women’ she had wanted are now installed. If ‘gender parity’ is a thing, then according to Steggall that race has also been run and won.
Watch how many new chicks will be admitted to the exclusive Teal Federation. Zero. It will make the Athenaeum and Savage Clubs look like free-for-alls.

This is Tony Shaw (whose older brother Ray told me to fuck off in 1979) in the Hun, on the absolute farce that is the dissent rule – which the AFL has apparently yet to connect with crowd numbers going through the floor:
I feel for the umpires. It’s not the umpires’ fault but it is embarrassing the umpires. They are getting more abuse because of it. We need to stabilise what is normal and figure it out with common sense. It is so frustrating for people.
We don’t want to talk about umpires but we are because these decisions are so ludicrous and stupid. They are embarrassing for our game. This game is about competing but to think you can be one step off the mark and that costs you a 50m penalty and a goal, what has happened to our great competitive game. It is so dumb.
The umpires are not the show. The players are the show. The benchmark of good umpiring is when they are not noticed.
I love the game but when we open up talkback (on 3AW) it’s all people want to talk about. Imagine if this happens in a Grand Final. They will burn the grandstand down.
Yes. Yes they will.

Well at least Zali acknowledges their are only two genders.

“Alternatively, Clive should challenge the validity of the territory senators, given he would be the main beneficiary.”
You know, the less we hear of Clive Palmer the better. Palmer isn’t about being constructive, he’s only about being destructive. He’s motivated by personal enmity. Now whilst Holmes a Court is the same, look at what he achieved on Saturday night as opposed to Palmer. Oh and just watch Palmer go after Dutton. He hates Dutton with a passion because Dutton’s called him out.
Palmer has always been disruptive whilst achieving nothing. Oh, I should clarify that, Palmer did gift us that bush pig who remains in the senate.
Go away Clive.

That is a stunningly stupid assertion. It confuses conventionalism with conservatism.How can one conserve something that does not exist any more, db?
Much as I hate to admit it, munty does have a point.
The institutions that we wish to conserve no longer exist in recognisable form. Schools no longer graduate a high proportion of literate and numerate young adults. Universities have become, in many faculties, propaganda organisations that would have made Goebbels proud. Their ABC no longer even attempts to provide an honest, unbiased, news and commentary, but is the ultimate propaganda organisation.
Rather that waste effort on trying to restore the unrestorable (like trying to recover the old “Blue Ribbon” seats from the Doctors’ Wives), it is time to start on the task of constructing new institutions which are suitable for genuine progress, as different to tools of political “Progressivism” (AKA fascist leftism).
The first step is to starve the old, corrupted, institutions. To misquote Chairman Mao, “A hundred billion dollars is too much. Seize the Budget, starve the corrupt”. Then re-build, from the ground up.

OK I voted UAP on Saturday.
In my electorate UAP got 6.9% apparently. PHON got 5.2%. I wonder how many of those UAP votes would have gone to PHON if UAP hadn’t been running?
The Apparatchik got 25939 votes.
Liberal + UAP + PHON got 26876 votes
but then the Filth got 5917 votes that would have pushed the apparatchik over the line. -
Just saw an interesting incident on Ch 9 Breakfast ( husband insists on watching!). Nick Coatsworth was discussing the dreaded Monkey Pox & wasn’t bad at all saying it was a negligible threat to the community etc. He then confessed he & his family had gone down with the normal flu. Aly gave him heaps & chided him for not being vaccinated against the flu – which he confessed he had not had due to work pressure.
But then an amazing development – Karl Stephanovic went into a rant. He said he was over with vaccines, & refused to have any more. Instantly the producer cut to a commercial! One of the ensuing commercials was for a well known chain of pharmacies advertising the administration of jabs!

This is exactly why there has been the rise of the so called alt right. Conservatives have failed to even conserve women’s toilet spaces for women. I have very much come around to rejecting the idea of compromise with the likes of monty. It’s never enough, there’s always more and more you have to sacrifice, while they give up very little, if anything.
Stuff that. Make them squeal. The suggestion a while ago of shutting off power etc. to greens electorates? Yes. Make them live to their so called principles. Fight against the perverted, ugly society being created. Shine a light on the cockroaches grooming kids under the guise of “LGBTI+” acceptance. Do all the things they fear because they know what they do is ultimately destroying civilization. Ron Desantis shows the way, but I don’t think he’ll go far enough in the end.
No mercy, no compromise, no forgiveness.

Implying that monkey pox mainly affects gay men who have sex with other gay men will get him cancelled if he doesn’t watch out.
Monkeypox Outbreak Primarily Spreading Via Sexual Contact: WHO Officials (24 May)
The virus itself is not a sexually transmitted infection, but WHO officials said the recent surge in cases is linked to homosexual men. However, they said that anyone can contract monkeypox, which is generally confined to Central and West Africa.
Don Surber: Highlights of the News (23 May)
The Sun reported, “Monkeypox outbreak explodes across Europe as cases in Spain and Italy traced to island festival with 80,000 revelers.”
It was a gay pride festival.
Going to be hard for the alphabet agencies to spin this one into the next emergency.

As I’ve reported here previously, a cohort of his colleagues have already had a go at cancelling Coatsworth professionally.
The relevant medical college said he had no case to answer.
Perhaps we need to further “recalibrate” free speech?

Strictly no bogans.
There will be Woodstock cans though right?
Err, no.
The only cans will be Belvga.
We will not be chasing the voters.
On the contrary, we will create an atmosphere of exclusivity which will make people desparate to join. We will not lining up with the desparados in ill-fitting campaign t-shirts and thrusting HTV cards in their face. We will have marquee at every voting centre, complete with a door bitch and a velvet roped off entrance, and always keeping half a dozen hopefuls in the queue. Sounds of clinking glasses and laughter will be heard from inside. Every so often an attractive young lady will emerge clutching one of our leather-bound HTV compendiums. -

I have very much come around to rejecting the idea of compromise with the likes of monty.Most of the left aren’t interested in debate and winning arguments. That’s my experience. I have one lefty friend I have interesting discussions with and sometimes we just agree to disagree.
Yes. Most of the left will not just leave you alone. You can agree to disagree, but once in power they’ll happily sacrifice you and yours for their goals. Quite happy for you to be the egg that gets broken on the way to the true utopia, because you deserve it anyway for disagreeing.
It’s one of the reasons I don’t believe in a universal franchise. The vast majority of people, right or left, don’t give any sober consideration to what their vote enables.

UN expert predicts global food crisis may be 10 weeks away
Engineered famines are a very Soviet thing. And it is engineered, with edible oil being use to replace expensive diesel especially in Indonesia, ethanol from maize being forced into cars to such an extent that there’s now a cornstarch shortage and Russia preventing Ukraine getting grain out of the country whilst Ukraine continues to allow gas from Russia to flow to the EU.

What It Means That ‘Hillary Clinton Did It’
The Wall Street Journal ran a scathing editorial on May 20, called “Hillary Clinton Did It”.
This editorial began:
“The Russia-Trump collusion narrative of 2016 was a dirty trick for the ages — and now we know it came from the top — candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton.”
The editorial quickly explained:
“That was the testimony Friday by 2016 Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook in federal court [in Washington, D.C.], and while this news is hardly a surprise, it’s still bracing to find her fingertips on the political weapon.”
(Also not surprisingly, The May 20 print edition of The New York Times did not include a story on Mook’s testimony.)
The concluding paragraphs of the editorial are worth quoting in full:
In short, the Clinton campaign created the Trump-Alfa allegation, fed it to a credulous press that failed to confirm the allegations but ran with them anyway, then promoted the story as if it was legitimate news. The campaign also delivered the claims to the FBI, giving journalists another excuse to portray the accusations as serious and perhaps true.
Most of the press will ignore this news, but the Russia-Trump narrative that Mrs. Clinton sanctioned did enormous harm to the country. It disgraced the FBI, humiliated the press, and sent the country on a three-year investigation to nowhere. Vladimir Putin never came close to doing as much disinformation damage.
The harm done to the United States by the perfidy of the Clintonistas cannot be overemphasized.
Never in the history of this Republic have so many citizens been so ill-served by so many “elitists” in government and the media.

Engineered famines are a very Soviet thing. And it is engineered…
More by stupidity than design though.
A businessman gives an engineer a problem to solve in order to bring a replacement product to market that meets green regulations put in place by politicians. Along the way, nobody, least of all the politicians, considers the consequences of diverting supplies of edible oil or corn from the food supply until hungry and rightly angry people start marching in the streets and burning effigies of the politicians who are supposed to have their interests at the forefront of their minds. This is one reason why nationalism, including national food security, is back on the agenda.

Couldn’t have said it better myself.The Liberals were warned (repeatedly), ‘Go Woke, Go Broke!’ If nothing else, this federal election served as a reckoning against the soggy, wet, gangrenous Liberals sitting in wealthy Sydney seats. The ‘we’re so much smarter than everyone else’ MPs who ran election campaigns that looked as if they were copied straight off the Climate 200 website lost en masse. The Sharmas, Zimmermans, and Frydenbergs.

NSW is facing a massive shortage of police recruits because potential trainees are forced to spend thousands of dollars just to apply for the job and even more once they begin training.
Kevin Morton, the newly appointed head of the Police Association of NSW, said the situation was so critical, the next intake of new officers in June has been cancelled because there are not enough applicants willing to cough up around $17,000 to qualify.
“We’re missing out on quality potential police officers in this state because people simply can’t afford the application process,” Mr Morton said in his address to the association’s conference in Wollongong.
“As a result we’re staring down the barrel of a serious police shortage in this state in the very near future.”
In a draft copy of his speech to be delivered today in front of the NSW Police Minister Paul Toole and Police Commissioner Karen Webb have called for a total overhaul of the way police trainees are being charged to become cops.
“NSW is the only jurisdiction in the country, and perhaps the world, where potential police have to fork out thousands of dollars and spend months of their lives training just to apply to be in the police force,” Mr Morton will say.
“There’s not even a guarantee of a job at the end of it, so it’s no wonder people aren’t applying. We should be looking to attract the best and brightest, not just those who can afford it. You shouldn’t have to choose between paying your mortgage and looking after your family or joining the police.”
Before applying to become a NSW police officer, potential recruits are required to obtain a University Certificate in workplace essentials from Charles Sturt University costing $1728 if paid in advance or $2160 if incurred as a student loan payable through HECS.
They are then forced to pay around $15,000 plus board while they undertake the nine-month training course at the Goulburn Police Academy.
Many senior police and association members say the procedure is also putting off older people with life experience from applying, even those in their mid 20s.
“You’ve got cops going through the application process who are forced to live away from their families and live under quite strict rules, which can include not leaving the training facilities, and they’re not even getting paid for it – in fact, they’re paying out of their life savings to do it,” Mr Morton said.
“The system in NSW is set up to effectively block anyone who doesn’t have a lot of savings or responsibilities from entering the police. We should be encouraging people with life experience into the job, not discouraging them.”

Every single press report about Erin Jayne’s death uses the word suddenly in inverted commas.
Copy/paste of the media release, or code for suicide?
Incidentally, a lot of reportage of suicides now uses the phrase died of suicide rather than committed suicide.
I’m not sure the gentler phrasing is turning people away from the idea. Yet another local went off North Head last weekend and left young kids behind. Outwardly full of infectious fun and laughter, but……. -

Morrisons let pool cleaner live in their home
Alexandra Middleton
ALEXANDRA MIDDLETONOutgoing prime minister Scott Morrison and wife Jenny offered up their Sutherland Shire home to their former pool cleaner after her Woodburn property was destroyed in the NSW floods.
Nikki Durant, who used to clean the Morrisons’ pool, told Nine News she called Ms Morrison to “ask for help” and said she could stay there “until election time”.
“I made the call and here I am, so I didn’t have to think about it too much more, because Jenny opened the door to me and I came here,” she said.
“She said you’ve got until election time, so, here I am.”
Ms Durant – who had only met Ms Morrison a handful of times – moved into the Morrison family home with her two sons earlier this year, rent free, when her house in the Northern Rivers was left “unliveable” after it was submerged in floodwaters.
“I would have been stuck, I had nowhere to go,” she said.
While Ms Durant hasn’t met Scott Morrison, she said “Jenny (was) just gorgeous”.
Ms Durant and her family are preparing to move back to Woodburn while the Morrisons pack up their things at Kirribilli House and return to their home in the Sutherland Shire

Thank you. Unfortunately, like dealing with naughty children, unless we get a right wing party that does those things I don’t see a bright future for the country. Trump showed the way, but at the end of the day he is a 90’s moderate left guy. Most of the western world need someone far more ruthless, backed by a party willing to support them.

No no. Don’t look at the Death Camps screamed about for months, and when people said this exact phrase:
They will kill us all, and those who survive will wish they were dead.

It’s a funny old world when the unemployment rate is at a 48 year low but the government gets punted.
Not that the low unemployment was accomplished by the ScoMo goat rodeo – it was an inadvertent consequence of the temporary suspension of the population Ponzi scheme. Expect normal service to be resumed under the Rub and Tug Man goat rodeo.
Nor am I in any way suggesting that the ScoMo goat rodeo deserved to retain office. Just pointing out that things were, in some respects, less bad than they often are when a government gets returned. -
Just got back from Woolies buying some milk.
Saw the front page of the Toowoomba birdcage liner (The Chronicle). The local LNP are dismayed that for the first time in a long, long time they didn’t get in on first preferences and had to go to preferences. One of the party apparatchiks puts it down to going with net zero. Could also be due to the local idiot member going with a bunch of chickenshit local projects as evidence of his success in office. These are local government issues, State at most. -

Further to the Accuweather article it has been my understanding for a long time that an ocean impact of a large asteroid would be far worse than a land impact. See Messrs Pournelle and Niven.
The Chelyabinsk event was 65 feet in diameter and yielded 0.5 megatonnes. The 350 giraffes would be around 365 Gigatonnes yield as a first cut and I suspect it would make it through the atmosphere intact.
Yeah, truly a big deal. -
The LNP lost because the libs went too far left especially on global warming; the primary vote of the ALP was the lowest ever because they didn’t go left far enough.
Global warming is the biggest scam ever. It should have ended in 2007 when the Judgment in the Al Gore movie An Inconvenient Truth case was handed down by the English HC. The science in Gore’s movie to do with the alleged consequences of global warming were tested by the best scientists in the world including Australia’s Bob Carter who acted for the parent objecting to Gore’s movie being shown in schools as part of the science syllabus. Carter was a true dirt under the fingernails type of scientist who helped show none of the so-called consequences of global warming depicted in Gore’s movie – polar bears, rising seas, snow and the big one: humans emitting all the increase in CO2 which resulted in global temp increase – existed or if they did were inconsequential and/or not attributable to global warming.
The lead scientist for Al Gore, Peter Stott is a computer expert who adjusts climate data, a complete contrast to Carter.
The irony is the Judge, Michael Burton accepted the official IPCC view about Global Warming but determined that Gore’s movie’s claims were not consistent with the science of the IPCC and rejected all of his 9 consequences.
Of course this Judgment has been ignored or lied about by the alarmists. This confirms again that alarmism is not about reasonable discourse, evidence or common sense; it’s a belief system which people are making money from and the communists in the UN are using to undermine the West. In addition the media and rich bastards are on board.
Stock up on candles folks.

From The Oz…
Expelled Lib MP says he ‘won’t be bullied’
Rachel BaxendaleExpelled Liberal MP Bernie Finn says he will “not be bullied by (Opposition Leader) Matthew Guy”, vowing to recontest the November state election.
Mr Finn said he had not yet decided whether he would attempt to form his own party, join another conservative minor party, or even recontest Liberal preselection given his expulsion is from the parliamentary party and the organisational wing.
“We’ve found out a lot about a lot of people this week, and there are some lessons that I think we will remember in November,” Mr Finn said.
“What we have seen today is a statement from the leader of our party that the party that I joined over 41 years ago, is dead.
“The party of Menzies and Howard is no more. Not in Victoria. Used to be the jewel of the Liberal crown, here in Victoria, but it doesn’t exist anymore. The party of Bolte, the party of Kennett, gone, gone, doesn’t exist anymore.
“If you hold a view opposite or different to the leader in this party, you run the risk of expulsion.
“Just as I will not be bullied by Daniel Andrews, I will not be bullied by Matthew Guy either, so let us go forward and let us form a new movement if we must, if that’s what’s needed.”
Mr Finn said it was too early to say whether he would form his own party.
“Look, in politics in 2022, after what happened on Saturday, anything is possible, so let’s just see what happens. But as I said before I’m certainly not going to be bailing out of politics anytime soon, and the views that I hold are views that are held by a lot of people,” he said.
Mr Finn said he understood some members of the Liberal partyroom had voted in his favour against the expulsion motion, but he could not say how many.
“There were a number who spoke in my favour, in favour of keeping me, so I thank them, but there’s been a fair effort put in by a number of front benchers to get rid of me,” he said.
He said he had been approached by “six or seven” parties and asked to join, but had thus far declined the invitation.
“But that’s obviously something that I may have to reconsider,” Mr Finn said.
Asked which parties, he named the Liberal Democrats, but declined to go further “because there might be people who might not want me to do that.”
Asked whether there was a chance he would join a party and sit with that party within the upper house before the next election, Mr Finn said: “That’s a possibility. That’s a possibility. As I say it’s something that’s just happened less than an hour ago, so I haven’t really given it the degree of thought that it needs.”
Asked whether he would recontest Liberal preselection, Mr Finn said: “That’s an interesting thought. I can, because I’m still a member of the Liberal Party.”
“That’s something that I might consider, because the reason that this has been done, the way it’s been done, is because those who wish to remove me from the party, know that I would probably win preselection. So that’s something that I may well like to consider,” he said.
“I’ve got to tell you, I was seriously thinking about retiring at this election, very seriously thinking about it, and this has given me a new lease on life, so thank you Matthew Guy.”

I don’t know much about the Victorian Liberals, I wouldn’t recognise Matthew Guy if I bumped into him in the street, but I do know Bernie Finn from quite a few YouTubes. He’s a very accomplished parliamentarian and seems like a decent and sensible bloke, the Victorian Liberals should have elected him as their leader rather than sacking him.

Expelled Lib MP says he ‘won’t be bullied’
This is the problem with “broad churches”, whether ecclesiastical or political; they become full of milksops who can’t tolerate people with strong principles. The latter are deemed “divisive”and must either keep silent or be expelled from their midst for disturbing their peace, which is the peace of those who’ve never fought for anything in their lives.

Another electric car catches fire – this time with the driver locked inside:
Firefighters in Vancouver, Canada, are investigating a car fire involving a Tesla after an electrical malfunction caused the vehicle doors to lock shut, trapping the driver inside as smoke began pouring in through vents. The driver kicked out a window to escape from Elon Musk’s electric vehicle.
CTV News Vancouver reports that firefighters have launched an investigation into a recent Tesla fire in the Vancouver area. The driver, Jamil Jutha, was driving towards Mountain Highway in North Vancouver last Friday when his 2021 Tesla Model Y that he purchased within months of the incident suddenly shut down.
and
“Of course, there’s always going to be panic in a moment when you feel trapped,” he said. “I kicked through the window, climbed out and called 911 right away.” The car continued to burn with the fire making its way into the interior of the car, flames were seen shooting in the air as the fire department arrived.
Chief Brian Hutchinson, with the District of North Vancouver Fire and Rescue Services, commented: “We’re very fortunate that this individual had the wherewithal and the strength to kick the window out.”
Tesla Model Y vehicles do have a mechanical release handle but it is designed to be unobtrusive and look as if it is a plastic capping near the door and window control button.
Nice to know that there is a mechanical door release button (carefully hidden) for when your car spontaneously combusts. That is the kind of information that provides a warm and cosy feeling when you are choosing a vehicle.

If that Guy freak can expel Finn from the Libs, just imagine what he would be prepared to do to the average Victorian punter swimming against the ‘correct’ tide should he win government – which, in itself, is an impossibility. The mongrel will not be getting my vote.

Also no one elected from … Christian Democratic Party
CDP doesn’t exist anymore, Monty. Try to keep up.
There was a bit of squabbling in-house and they went into receivership and were disbanded by the court. Fred Nile (yeah, he’s still alive) is too paranoid about potential successors stabbing him in the back, so the old dinosaur keeps stuffing things up. Though the cynic in me wonders if the Libs just didn’t need them anymore, with Optional Preferential now being a thing (they likely would have propped them up, otherwise).
I do know a few religious types who didn’t know who to vote for without CDP or FF. Which is odd, because they were never that great.
Anyway, LDP was always going to split the vote with Clive and Pauline, but the big surprise was the Legalise Cannabis party. They outpolled LDP significantly, despite it being a policy of LDP to legalise it.
In Australia, personality politics or single issue is what gets you a senate gig. LDP might have to change strategy when they change their name.

Wodger:
A businessman gives an engineer a problem to solve in order to bring a replacement product to market that meets green regulations put in place by politicians. Along the way, nobody, least of all the politicians, considers the consequences of diverting supplies of edible oil or corn from the food supply until hungry and rightly angry people start marching in the streets and burning effigies of the politicians who are supposed to have their interests at the forefront of their minds.
…or pull them from their cars in the street and beat them senseless.

The AFL should do more to prevent retired footballers from accidentally falling into becoming drug traffickers:
St Kilda great Nick Riewoldt has made an impassioned plea to the AFL and the players’ union to provide more adequate support to players as they transition out of the professional game.
Riewoldt’s call on Monday night came after former teammate Sam Fisher was jailed for trafficking commercial quantities of illicit drugs.
Fisher, 39, played 228 games for the Saints before retiring in 2016.
“A lot of his close teammates knew that he had some issues, but to this extent, once it was all laid bare last week, I think a lot of us were surprised at just how bad the situation had become,” Riewoldt said on Fox Footy.
“But it landed heavy and, obviously, straight away you start to think about Sam and the situation he finds himself in, and his family and those close to him, and then you do a little bit of inward reflecting around, ‘What more could we have done?’”

Another perfect late Autumn day here. Bright blue skies with the odd cloud, sunshine, multicoloured trees, flocks of cockies, plus rosellas, currawongs, magpies, peewees, Australian Ravens (crows), sparrows, and finches. That I noticed when I went outside.
We are blessed in this country, no matter what the doomsayers spruik.

Looking at the candidate votes by type, prepoll columns are zero. In fact, all but normal and postal votes are zero. No idea what that means… other than that the data isn’t final?
The PrePoll Booths have been counted on the Saturday Night the last 2 Federal Elections.
In 2016, PrePoll was counted on the Sunday Morning, and prior to that, PrePoll counting didn’t start until Tuesday.
