The faceless men want to be careful what (if anything) they give her, because potential exists for a revenge campaign against normies making William the Conqueror’s Harrying of the North in 1069 look like syndicate work with butchers’ paper and whiteboard markers.

You can count on it.

I don’t blame Morrison’s election strategists, and I don’t blame (most of) the candidates.

I blame Morrison for every day of the past two years – not for what he did, but for what he didn’t do.

Like a couch blob mother with six teenage kids (all called Premmieyah and Cheef) having access to the fridge, the shed and the car keys, Morrison let those kids run absolutely wompus with no parental control whatsoever.

It was actually worse than that – because no matter what they did Couch Mummy maintained or increased their pocket money to do it with, while simultaneously screeching ‘Don’t touch that’, waving her pointing stick during the MAFS commercial breaks.

Well, the firies tore down the lounge room wall to remove Couch Mummy and installed an even worse one – and now the teenagers are imbued with learned behaviour as well as a set of house keys with instructions to not bother her when they come back at 4.00 a.m. with crack whores and/or fuckbois.

His 22 year old daughter who is studying in Germany for a year proudly announced she had voted Green.

When she finally gets a job and starts to pay taxes, if she has a brain she may even look into where her money is being squandered and observe the parasites living off her hard earned. And there she will find a sea of green. If she has a brain.

Lets look how the EU are doing now they are transforming to ‘power to cheap to meter”!

Bit from this site.

Electricity prices increased in all Member States except two

Household electricity prices rose in 25 EU Member States in the second half of 2021, compared with the second half of 2020. The largest increase (expressed in national currencies) was registered in Estonia (+50%), ahead of Sweden (+49%) and Cyprus (+36%).
Expressed in euro, average household electricity prices in the second half of 2021 were lowest in Hungary (€10.0 per 100 kWh), Bulgaria (€10.9) and Croatia (€13.1) and highest in Denmark (€34.5), Germany (€32.3), Belgium (€29.9) and Ireland (€29.7).

This one has a great breakdown of just how shit its going, even with governments trying emergency measures.
A little from each country, the site is well worth a look.
Most occurring long before Vlads excursion.

https://www.bruegel.org/publications/datasets/national-policies-to-shield-consumers-from-rising-energy-prices/

Electricity prices for German households are the highest in the European Union. Reuters indicates that some 4.2 million German households will see their electricity bills rise by an average 63.7% in 2022 while 3.6 million face gas bills 62.3% higher than in 2021 as suppliers pass on record wholesale costs.

Austria
The latest measures include a 90% cut to natural gas and electricity tariffs through mid-2023

Belgium
Belgian Prime Minister Alexander de Croo said that Belgium will take the lead in pushing for a cap on European gas prices.
Plus added mongness.
Belgium will also increase renewable energy investments, including an additional €1 billion for wind and solar energy projects, according to De Croo.

Bulgaria
For household, on 16 December the new ruling coalition voted to freeze power and heating prices until the end of March.

Croatia
Government measures include, among other things, a permanent reduction in the value added tax (VAT) rate for gas and heat to 13 from 25 percent.

Cyprus
On 17 September, the government announced a 10 percent discount on the electricity bill of all households from November to February.
On 4 November, the cabinet approved a reduction of VAT from 19 per cent to 5 per cent on electricity bills for vulnerable groups for six months.


Czech Republic
Small and medium enterprises whose energy provider failed and that have experienced increases of their energy bills of more than 100% are offered a state-backed guarantee with a 0% interest rate to meet the costs of their operational expenses.

Denmark
By February 2022, the measures were finalised and entered into force with a so-called “heat-cheque” (around €800) for 320,000 of the hardest-hit households.

Estonia
On 25 January, the Estonian government approved a cap on electricity (€0.12/KWh) and gas prices (€65/MWh) for households and the abolition of electricity distribution charges for businesses (previously only halved), in an effort to mitigate the negative effects of rising energy prices.

Finland
At a ministerial council on 17 March 2022, the Executive promised direct grants to the agricultural sector of about 300 million euros in direct support to alleviate the agricultural cost crisis and improve the security of supply of domestic food production. A similar package of €75 million was also rolled out for the logistic sector.

France (shitloads of stuff)
By 31 January 2022 the estimated cost for the state has been €8bn, while EDF, forced to lower the cost of electricity by charging below the market rate (to contain the increase to 4%), warned its investors that it would take an estimated €8.4bn financial hit from French energy price cap. Some other estimates put the government spending to contain high energy prices as high as €15.5 billion since the fall of 2021.

Germany
On 24 March, Germany’s ruling coalition agreed on additional measures worth about €15 billion, including a temporary reduction in fuel prices for three months through a tax cut (by 30 cents for gasoline and 14 cents for diesel). Other measures encompass a one-time payment of €300, a €100 cheque to boost child support and a monthly reduction to €9/month for public transport. These new measures will complement the already agreed subsidies for low-income households, the increase in allowance for commuters and the EEG surcharge cut. Chancellor Scholz indicated that the overall cost of these policies bring the total cost of shielding consumers from the rise in energy prices to around €30 billion.

Greece
Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis also said that the government will set a ceiling on wholesale electricity prices and refund up to 60% of all the surcharges that electricity consumers with annual incomes of up to €45,000 have paid from December 2021 to -May 2022.

Hungary
Prices for households are regulated below cost and on 11 November the government announced that it will also put a price-ceiling of €1.30 per litre on petrol and diesel.

Ireland
Electricity prices for Irish households were the fourth-highest in the EU in the first half of 2021, rising to number one when taxes are stripped out.

Italy
On January 12 2022, the Italian Minister of Industry announced a forthcoming increase in corporate taxes on energy companies that have benefited from surging power prices. This comes days after Matteo Salvini, the head of the Minister of Industry’s political party, called for a deficit-hike of at least €30 billion .
Overall, state support for struggling households is expected to reach €8.5bn through March 2022.

You can read the rest yourself.

Frydenberg in The Hun:

Treasurer Josh Frydenberg said there were “lots of factors” that played into the Coalition’s election loss on Saturday but it’s stance on climate change had a part to play in losing Kooyong to independent Dr Monique Ryan.

“We as a Coalition need to be better at articulating what we have achieved and what we are doing in respect to climate change, because when I have those conversations with people here and across Australia, for many, those facts are not fully known as they should be,” he said.

Well he would say that, wouldn’t he?

Kooyong’s the Mongyang version of Wentworth. Full of rich doctor’s wives and assorted virtuous Porsche drivers with more money than sense*.

What he meant to say was that if he had made more noise about warming, he may have retained his seat.

If he hasn’t been networking with a view to a plum corporate sinecure for the past six months, he’s stupider than I thought.

*Notable exceptions, rah rah rah.

Frydenberg in The Hun

Frydenberg losing his seat is the best thing that could have happened for the Libs in the circumstances. In parliament he would have led the party further left. Dutton, should he be elected by the party room, may at least consider a change in tack.

Meantime, as Frydenberg heads off to his corporate sinecure, he has bequethed us a public debt to GDP ratio heading towards 40%. Nice work, “Josh”.

I didn’t watch Dreamtime at the ‘G last night, so missed the performance theatre put on by the Richmond players at the start of the match. However, I did watch the ‘highlights’ this morning and even though I knew there would be a high level of Aboriginal worship happening, I was genuinely shocked at what I saw.

The white players ended up kneeling – BLM style – in a circle around the standing Abo players, looking down on the sub-humans groveling at their feet. Offensive, racist garbage.

I did watch a couple of standard ‘Welcome to Country’ performances at a couple of the day games yesterday. One had a white women talking in tongues, before another three white women did a dance while shaking small eucalyptus branches. The second one had a white bloke talking in tongues before wailing to a didgeridoo.

Quite obviously, there are no full-blood Aborigines left in the tribes located in cities. Judging by the ‘elders’ being paid to put on this embarrassing rubbish, there aren’t even any who are more than 1/16 Aboriginal. What a sham.

The US government funded a RAND Corporation report to determine which nation in the Indo-Pacific region would be suitable for hosting US missiles aimed at China. The answer was “none.”

However, the US is determined to change this conclusion not only in terms of hosting US missiles, but regarding Washington’s attempt to recruit nations across the Indo-Pacific region in its growing hostilities toward China.

Future Candidate for Clinton Disease (or is that Epsteining?)

Ex-Clinton Campaign Manager Should Probably Go Into Hiding After That Testimony

Okay, maybe you can see it. It’s the Clintons. The power couple where it’s politics all the time, secrecy is key, and they play by their own rules. That was evident with the homebrew server that was unsecured, in which Hillary conducted all her State Department business in clear violation of protocol. Then, she lied. She said it was approved, only to have the State Department inspector general shoot that down. This story rehashed all the bad memories of the Clintons from the 1990s.

Now, we have this 2016 October surprise that was soaked in Russian collusion nonsense. It was about Donald Trump’s supposed ties to Alfa Bank, which was a garbage story. Even the FBI said there was nothing to the tale. The evidence was lacking, but Hillary signed off on the campaign shopping it to the media, who, like good soldiers, disseminated the fake news to the masses.

The probe conducted by Special Counsel John Durham has roped in ex-Clinton lawyer Michael Sussmann, who is accused of lying to the FBI. During his testimony last Monday, Robby Mook, Clinton’s 2016 campaign manager, said that the former first lady and two-time presidential loser signed off on giving this story to the media. Twitchy noted it best: he threw her under the bus.

Will the Clinton body count increase by one soon? Who knows? But Mook probably should go into hiding. We all know what happens to the people who make enemies of or fail the Clintons in their endeavors. Still, there’s more to this.

Hence, there could be no legitimate Beaufort claim?

Another Beaufort set of bloodlines in the pile probably wouldn’t have made any difference Dot as the Beauforts were tainted with illegitimacy anyway – but at least they were all descended from John of Gaunt, and thus true Lancastrians. Looks as though the slurring of the de Valois Queen was fairly speculative anyway, as with many of the claims of illegitimacy due to adulterous females that plague the lines of Royal descent in Britian, right up to speculation that our current Her Maj’s own mother, Elizabeth the Queen Mother as she is fondly remembered, was actually the daughter of the cook; hence the slang term of ‘cookie’ often applied to her.

I woke early with a horrible dream about a dying wallaby deliberately put on a fire by traditional aborigines (as records show happened sometimes), but the poor thing tried to hop away and looked at me with sad appealing eyes. I shot up in bed, horrified. Consoled myself with the thought that wallabies had died by fire for millenia in bushfires, it’s the fate of being a wallaby; but why such an image should be front of mind for me I don’t know. Maybe because last night I had just emailed a friend here in Britain asking whether the bushfires had caused the Labor win. Youse can all guess what I told her.

I’ve now realised we’ve regressed to the mid-1960s where it’s big business and the government pig state versus the rest of us.

Propaganda is now the main weapon.

For example, the latest NAB business-to-business TV commercial features as actors an Abo as the business owner and a Chinaman as the banker – a clownish fantasy that not only is not occurring in Australia, but won’t be anytime in the next century.

Not to mention the Elbownese regime’s ally. the AFL, which this weekend is featuring a homage to primitive savages in its “indigenous round”, where white people pretending to be Abos conduct an animist ceremony that celebrates pre-civilisation “civilisation”.

As with everything the left does, the idea is to get civilised people used to being humiliated. The long-term strategy is it that, if you can get people to accept absurdities, you can get them to commit atrocities.

And, for the Australian left, today is Day One in Year Zero.

A very bad system.

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-05-22/antony-green-answers-questions-about-historic-election/101089010

We’ve never seen support for the major parties drop so low at a federal level before. The nearest comparison would be One Nation’s breakthrough in Queensland in 1998.

In countries with comparable electoral systems, like Canada, New Zealand and the United Kingdom, we saw the support for the long-dominate parties starting to subside in the 1970s and 1980s. That didn’t happen in Australia, the ’70s saw a polarisation.

I think compulsory voting has added an inertia to the way our political system works and has prevented a decline in the major party vote

While everyone is busy on the election thread, I’ll lodge my Birdsville report.

The road from Boulia is hardtop to Bedourie, and a little wider than the single lane Mt Isa to Boulia. So far so good.

The country to either side is green and in some places lush. A product of the recent rains and overland flows. Great flocks of budgies and other small birds predominate, with the occasional kite or eagle feasting on road kill. I was told that the wedgetails don’t even bother to hunt any more, so rich are the roadside pickings. The Beloved slows down when he sees them as they are so slow to take off. He can’t bear the thought of hitting wildlife, though sometimes it’s inevitable.

This is the Simpson Desert, one of the most inhospitable places on the planet, yet over all is a film of green. The little creeks are flowing, or there are billabongs on either side of the causeways, brown with suspended sediment.

Then the detour around the “lake” on the northern side of Birdsville – the road is cut so the only alternative is dirt. As the Model A “Betty” had got through the day before, we were heartened and knew we would too. An amazing country to drive through – it seemed that we were crossing ancient ocean floors only to be met with bright red dunes, a crest, and another floor to traverse. Beautiful.

And the cyclists, with their escort of mini buses. Like beings from another planet. There must be a rally nearby. Why anyone would want to cycle across this place is a blank to me, but there they were, lycra clad except for curtains of fly mesh across their faces. To each their own.

Then a glorious sunset sipping wine on the Birdsville Pub’s “College of Knowledge” out front. And sharing travellers’ tales, of course.

August 31

Just got transferred with work from grey old London to our new home in
Newman, Western Australia.

Now this is a town that knows how to live! Beautiful, sunny days and warm, balmy evenings.

I watched the sunset from a deckchair by the pool yesterday. It was beautiful. I’ve finally found my new home. I love it here.

——————————————————————————–

September 13

Really heating up now. It got to 31 today. No problem though. Living in air-conditioned home, driving air-conditioned car.  What a pleasure to see the sun every day like this.

I’m turning into a sun-worshipper.

——————————————————————————–

September 30th

Had the back yard landscaped with tropical plants today. Lots of palms and rocks. No more mowing lawns for me.  Another scorcher today, but I love it here.

——————————————————————————–

October 10th

The temperature hasn’t been below 35 all week. How do people get used to this kind of heat?  At least today it’s windy though. Keeps the flies off a bit. Acclimatising is taking longer than I expected.

——————————————————————————–

October 15th

Fell asleep by the pool yesterday. Got third degree burns over 60% of my body. Missed three days of work. What a dumb thing to do!  Got to respect the ol’ sun in a climate like this.

——————————————————————————–

October 20th

Didn’t notice Kitty (our cat) sneaking into the car before I left for work this morning.

By the time I got back to the car after work, Kitty had died and swollen up to the size of a shopping bag and stuck to the upholstery.  The car now smells like Whiskettes and cat shit. I’ve learned my lesson though: no more pets in this heat.

——————————————————————————–

October 25

This wind is a b*stard. It feels like a giant f*ckin’ blow dryer.  And it’s hot as hell!

The home air conditioner is on the blink and the repair man charged $200 just to drive over and tell me he needs to order parts from f*ckin’ Perth .

——————————————————————————–

October 30th

The temperature’s up around 40 and the parts still haven’t arrived for the f*ckin’ aircon.

Been sleeping outside by the pool for three nights now. Bloody $900,000 house and we can’t even go inside.  Why the hell did I ever come here?

——————————————————————————–

November 4

Finally got the ol’ aircon fixed. It cost $1 500 and gets the temperature down to around 25 degrees, but the humidity makes it feel about 30.

Stupid repairman.

——————————————————————————–

November 8

If one more smart a*se says ‘Hot enough for you today?’, I’m going to f*ckin’ throttle him! F*ckin’ heat!  By the time I get to work, the car’s radiator is in the red, my clothes are soaking f*ckin’ wet and I smell like baked cat!

——————————————————————————–

November 9

Tried to run some errands after work, wore shorts, and sat on the black leather upholstery in the ol’ car.  I thought my f*ckin’ arse was on fire. I lost two layers of flesh, all the hair on the backs of my legs and my f*ckin’ arse.  Now the car smells like burnt hair, fried a*se and baked cat!

——————————————————————————–

November 10

Weather report! It might as well be a f*ckin’ recording. Hot and sunny. Hot and sunny, Hot and f*ckin’ sunny!  It’s been too hot to do anything for two f*ckin’ months and the weatherman says it might really warm up next week.  Doesn’t it ever rain in this damn f*ckin’ place? Water restrictions are next, so my $5 000 worth of palms might just dry up and blow into the f*ckin’ pool.  The only things that thrive in this hellhole are the f*ckin’ flies. You don’t dare open your mouth for fear of swallowing half a dozen of the f*ckers!

——————————————————————————–

November 20th

Welcome to HELL! It got to 45 f*ckin’ degrees today.  Now the air- conditioner’s gone in my car. The repair man came to fix it and said, ‘Hot enough for you today?’  My wife had to spend the $3 500 mortgage payment to bail me out of jail for assaulting the stupid f*cker.

F*ckin’ Newman! What kind of sick, demented f*ckin’ idiot would want to live here!

——————————————————————————–

December 1

WHAT!!!! –  Today’s the first day of summer!!!!????

What we are now witnessing in the U.S. is planned chaos to lay the foundation for “revolution.”
That is, the Biden regime wishes to impose a global one-party totalitarian state, a retrograde hybrid governance model combining the most tyrannical aspects of the Chinese Communist Party and the World Economic Forum, in which there are no nations, but only land and people to exploit.

Pentagon Weighs Deploying Special Forces to Guard Kyiv Embassy

U.S. military and diplomatic officials are weighing plans to send special-forces troops to Kyiv to guard the newly reopened embassy there, proposals that would force the Biden administration to balance a desire to avoid escalating the U.S. military presence in the war zone against fears for the safety of American diplomats, U.S. officials said.

Nothing bad can happen with this (the Hun):

Eighteen pronouns have been included in a new guide used by thousands of Victorians school students and staff.

The Wear It Purple guide to pronouns include choices such as “fae”, “xe” and “hu” alongside the more widely used she/her, he/him and they/them.

The guide also offers gender-neutral pronouns in different languages, including Arabic and Chinese, with a reminder that repeated and deliberate refusal to adopt the right pronoun could be illegal under discrimination laws.

If I was in my last couple of years’s schooling, and if I possessed a ratty sense of humour, I’d be milking this for all get-out.

Mucking about in class? A difference of opinion with a teacher? Claim discrimination because nobody called me ‘hu’. Shit exam results? Well, the tuckshop lady didn’t refer to me as ‘fae’.

Oodles of material to work with, all for personal amusement.

Albo wants to build electric buses to save the planet.
Which leads me neatly into this story today:

London bus explosion: Five electric buses go up in a fireball – smoke seen for miles (22 May)

FIVE electric double decker buses have exploded at the Potters Bar Bus Garage near London.

The fire brigade urged the public to avoid the area and said the emergency could last for a “long time”.

I do hope excitable people don’t work out how flammable these vehicles are. Bored teenagers are bad enough without access to explodable buses.

A month to live, loss of fine motor function and muscular function
Wasting away with weeks or days to go, tumours suppressing normal mental faculties

I didn’t put this on the election thread, as it’s more to do with what the next three years will be like…

FLAT WHITE

Election 2022: lessons and consequences
Joel Agius

Joel Agius

This year’s federal election was insane. It was chaotic. It was all over the place. And it has catastrophic consequences for this country.

Let’s not bother with semantics – we need to cut right to the chase. Anthony Albanese is the Prime Minister of Australia. Labor has a majority government, albeit only just, which means it will be able to govern in its own right. The Senate is comprised of way too many Greens and is likely to drive policy.

Why did Labor win? It most definitely is not because they are popular…

Labor’s primary vote of a mere 30 per cent – well below the prediction of 36 per cent – demonstrates that only around 1 in 3 Australians actually support them. The Liberals had a higher primary of around 36 per cent, yet due to the preference system in this nation (which is now going to be a significant point of contention and the subject of much debate), the party that came second overall gets to govern.

The low primary votes for the two major parties should have both of them questioning what they can do to get this to a point where they can practically guarantee themselves a confident majority, much like that of say, the Abbott government of 2011.

It is clear from such low primary votes that Australians have become disenchanted with the major parties. The duopoly that has ruled all too comfortably for decades has been dealt a major blow. This has been demonstrated in the loss of seats that were once a sure thing for Liberal now falling into the hands of Teal independents. The tragic reality for Australia is that those seats are in the possession of single-issue Eco-fascists who want to bring in policies that will strangle prosperity in the name of Climate Change.

The so-called ‘Teal Independents’, who are basically Greens in disguise, have managed to win themselves a good portion of the crossbench. Alongside them will sit Adam Bandt and several more Greens who managed to co-opt seats of their own.

The common misconception is that this lot beat out the majors because of Climate Change. This is not completely true. Yes, there were likely a number of young people in particular who voted for these candidates because they have been indoctrinated with climate fear-mongering in the education system, but this vote was also about people being sick of the majors.

Going back to the dismal percentage of primary votes each of the major parties received, it is clear that Albanese did not win this election. Scott Morrison lost it.

Labor didn’t win, the Liberals lost.

The reason I frame it like this is because the Liberal Party botched this one up big time. They have been playing around with progressivism for years and if there is one thing organisations, companies, and even governments who toy with the world of the Woke know what happens: go Woke, you go broke.

The Liberal Party have learned the hard way what happens when you try to become a carbon copy of your opponents. Editor of The Spectator Australia Rowan Dean was spot on when he pointed out in his editorial that the Liberals lost when they said they were committing to Net Zero, an utterly destructive policy that is only possible in the imaginations of globalist climate enthusiasts.

Morrison also failed in trying to be a people-pleaser. When you try to please everyone, you inevitably please no one. That is what the results of this election reflect. And so it is only right that Morrison has stepped down as the leader of the Liberal Party. If he had any decency, he’d resign entirely.

But for those that still think this is solely about Climate Change, take a look at who in the Liberal Party lost their seats. Dave Sharma, Trent Zimmerman, and likely Josh Frydenberg all lost to Teals. All three of these men were from the infamous ‘moderate’ faction of the Liberals, which has driven them further and further to the Left. It was the same faction Turnbull was a part of. Yet they lost. So too did Terri Butler, the Labor MP for Griffith, who placed third to the Greens, who won the seat, and the Liberal Party.

Meanwhile, Conservative MPs held onto their seats.

The major lesson for the Liberal Party here is that it is past time to return to its conservative roots. It is something that fellow writer for The Spectator Australia John Ruddick was attempting to bring about for years before he left to run for the Liberal Democrats. The Liberal Party needs to democratise fully and allow the members to select their candidates, rather than having someone like Morrison parachute in whoever he wants (look at how terribly that worked out).

The Liberal Party needs to abandon the inner-city. This has become the land of elitist wets who are looking to make money off renewable subsidies. Stop trying to pander to them and start winning back people like me in the West who possess real conservative values that include things like small government, less tax, more freedom, and protected civil liberties.

It should also consider supporting independents like Dai Le in Labor held seats so as to prevent them from going to Labor. Le managed to win what has long been a safe seat for the Labor Party, likely due in part to Labor’s contempt for the people of the electorate in parachuting in Kristina Keneally, who has now proven to be one of the most unlikeable politicians in Australia.

Now that Scott Morrison is no longer leader, the Liberal Party should install a conservative Opposition Leader and a conservative Deputy Leader. Peter Dutton and Andrew Hastie would be a reasonable duo. The Nationals should also install Matt Canavan as their Leader.

Another key lesson from this election is that we need both better education and better voting education in this country. Although the education system is unlikely to be reformed in the way it should under Labor, who will push it further towards identity politics and indoctrination with Leftist ideology, we need to teach the next generation of voters about the problems with socialist type policies.

Although, if the next three years go how I expect them to, they may just learn about the impacts of such policies inadvertently also known as the hard way.

The reason I say we need better voting education is because it is clear that people still do not understand the preference system nor how to control their preferences. This, coupled with indoctrination in the education system, is what gets us into situations like the one we now find ourselves in.

So here is just a brief outline of what you can expect in the next three years of the Albanese Government.

There’s going to be a lot of spending. Labor will be throwing money at public housing, wages, aged care, and healthcare. They will also spend countless millions, or even billions, on the weather. Albanese has said he wants to ‘end the climate wars’ and create a ‘renewable energy superpower’. Inevitably, that means we’re going to be buying solar panels from China and there will be a greater frequency of blackouts.

Chances are there will also be more mandates and lockdowns in the years to come for many of us. But the people of Western Australia and Victoria should be happy with that given those suckers for torture just voted for more of it.

We can also expect a Federal ICAC stacked in Labor’s favour. Oh, and they also want to make good on their commitment to the Uluru Statement, ironically after just electing a white woman over an Indigenous man in the seat of Hasluck.

The big winners are China, people smugglers, and globalist organisations like the World Health Organisation and the World Economic Forum. The big losers are the Australian people, who will be funding Albanese’s insane promises with increased taxes and who will have to suffer through the rotten fruits of his policies for the next three years.

The Liberals better learn, otherwise they’re going to be doomed for multiple terms in Opposition, and this country will be doomed to a longer period of Labor government.

My wife, as usual, made a simple and accurate observation about the election.
She noted neither of us took the usual interest in the campaign or tuned in on election night.
ScoMo’s leadership, mostly a lack of it, didn’t attract the voters to listen or care and so general disinterest morphed into vote for a change or a high profile independent to show you’re shitty.
ScoMo will be rapidly forgotten and that’s why he lost. A political mannequin pulled from the window.

So what, I’ll take a thousand Dai Le’s over the Teals…..all of whom were funded to the tune of millions of dollars by SSS, Sinister Svengali Simon.

I don’t expect any fireworks from any of the independents because unless they can wield power, they’re largely useless. In the immortal words of John Spender, Princess Allegra’s daddy, they’ll “achieve nothing, absolutely nothing”. However Dai Le has already accomplished something significant, she slayed perhaps the bitchiest, nastiest and most unsavoury person ever to walk the Australian political landscape.

At the moment I am working with a family with an alcoholic son and brother , who has had addiction problems since a teenager as he told me when I first sat with him and heard his story . The well meaning family have for all these years have enabled him to continue this lifestyle in the misguided thinking that they were helping . I am now comparing Australians and the Liberals as the misguided family enabling the green cordial drinkers to be rescued and do it their way . What has been allowed by the government is woke nonsense in education , climate change taught as propaganda and not historically how it occurs all through time eg Greenland , Roman warming etc etc even dinosaurs and high CO 2 . What will this mean everyone will suffer, but until there are blackouts and we can’t flush toilets, high inflation and supers raided no one will learn the lesson unless through experiencing more pain .
Iam with this family who have had enormous pain for thirty years and who now understand enabling and today I will be putting in the new rules no more rescuing , suffer the consequences but we will be there to help with recovery . Of course no guarantees because the choice has to be made by the alcoholic.
I see Australia having to go through a similar experience ,even though
I bet majority did not really think about consequences of the enabling preferences and those who did will suffer also . Thirty % voted for Labor hardly a majority for the brothel creeper who went to a Thai massage parlour selling sexual services , illegal in his electorate for a back problem . see Hansard . A question for all those woke women who worry about treatment of women where those Thai girls working under duress ?

Students trash South Carolina high school; administrators decline to press charges

However, WBTW reports officials at South Carolina’s Darlington High School do not plan to involve law enforcement at this time despite “damage requir[ing] ‘extensive work’ from custodial and school staff” and potential criminal charges of trespassing, vandalism and burglary.

In restorative justice style, that decision was made “in consultation” with local police so as “to keep the students from getting criminal records.”

Darlington County School District Superintendent Tim Newman said that while “this was a serious situation with serious consequences,” the incident “does not have to define the future of these students.” Darlington Police Chief Kelvin Washington added that while “multiple laws were broken, and charges [still] could be brought against the violators,” he supported the district’s decision.

Darlington High is over 60 percent African-American with the entire the student body eligible for reduced or free school lunch.

Hold on, there’s no outbidding the Teals. Should they then try for those working-class outer-suburban seats, which they’ve never won, by going back to traditional conservative values and common sense? A Trumpian strategy. Seems far fetched.

You know something, Sancho of the slip lane?

Like this?

From the national candidates’ Telegram thread, from a Victorian UAP Senate candidate…

Mr Palmer said that in at least one federal seat, AEC officials had removed cast ballot papers from pre polling booths and taken them to their private homes in breach of the law.

“This will result in complaints to the police and the possible jailing of the AEC officials,’’ Mr Palmer said.

“I call upon the Electoral Commission to investigate these matters and dismiss any staff who have acted in an unlawful manner.

“Our party will hold the AEC to account and seek that the election be rerun in the seats concerned.

“Fortunately, we have the evidence on video and a witness who followed an AEC official to his home,’’ Mr Palmer said.

From the Qld candidates’ Telegram thread, from a Qld lower house candidate…

A number of my scrutineers said the count was done with every candidate having one pile of votes, but mine was in two piles. Then at some point one of my piles “disappeared” at each booth. Probably tacked onto the bottom of the Lib pile… it’s a complete farce. Honest people like us, trying to beat a corrupt system. What were we thinking…

Steve draws our attention to two posts. First, his own post this morning with a headline that says it all: “The election result in Australia was just about as bad as it could have been.” And then to Peter Smith’s Pipeline post “‘Greenslide’ in Oz Dumps Scott Morrison.”

Steve comments: “This will be a far-far left government that is either part of a trend or part of the highwater mark this madness will reach….I don’t think anyone in the US really gets it, in part, no doubt, because your media see nothing to complain about. But this is now part of the Biden-Trudeau-Ardern axis that is reaching further outwards. We live in such dark times and they are getting darker.”

Hawke’s Lager for Blanche’s true believers

With an Anthony Albanese victory looming, there was one political bash in Sydney for dyed-in-the-wool Labor Party insiders.

It was co-hosted by Labor royalty, Bob Hawke’s widow, Blanche d’Alpuget in posh Woollahra – right in the heart of the Sydney seat of Wentworth.

The party was held at the home of one of d’Alpuget’s oldest friends, SMH and The Age film reviewer Sandra Hall. (Hall’s late husband, Jim Hall, incidentally, was a former editor of The Australian.)

D’Alpuget, these days an energetic 78, tells Diary the party was strictly a “true believers only” ­affair. And like a true Labor backroom player, d’Alpuget was sighted working the phones through­out the evening, with veteran Labor numbers men Craig Emerson and Geoff Walsh on speed dial delivering her the latest seat-by-seat updates to pass on to her guests.

She wasn’t the only member of the Hawke clan in attendance, with the ex-PM’s daughter, Sue Pieters-Hawke, also present.

And there were plenty of good omens related to Hawke, Australia’s longest-serving Labor PM, to give Albo every possible chance.

For one, there were copious quantities of Hawke’s personal brew, Hawke’s Lager, on site, with each bottle labelled with Hawke’s legendary image. Another omen was that Hawke’s Lager is brewed at the Bob Hawke Beer and Leisure Centre in Marrickville, in the heartland of Albo’s own seat of Grayndler in Sydney’s inner west.

There was one unfortunate late apology among the Labor royalty, after Gil Appleton, widow of legendary former Whitlam minister ‘Diamond’ Jim McClelland, sustained a late injury and had to pull out.

Unfortunately a career of “I fight Tories” makes him the least intellectually equiped for the job. Arguably that was Abbott’s problem, albeit after the carbon tax, mining tax and boats, each of which was a significant accomplishment.
