Peter Dutton has decided to take a broad church instead.
The best Albanese can hope for is 77 Seats and it might only be 75.
The Greens will be running the Government, yet be in direct competition with Labor for votes.
All Peter Dutton has got to do is drop Barnaby Joyce down a big hole and take it easy. -
My 2c worth. Plenty of western style outlets that rich expats like in Asia selling meat, like we are used to in plastic sealed packs. Problem is they are prohibitively expensive and quality varies widely, in fact very widely.
Open wet markets are a fraction the cost and usually with a beast slaughtered hours before. Besides Asian dishes aren’t heavy on meat, lots of fillers as meat is usually expensive.
Pork in non muslim countries is pretty well much a staple. Beware of beef from a market sometimes you get buffalo, LOL as I found out once. Boots are less chewy…

Helen reckons there’s no Cold Chain in Indonesia, the shopkeeper kills 1 or 2? every day and sells the meat, guts, feet, head at the Wet Market and tans the Hide when he gets back home.
IIRC, Helen is on an NT cattle station. Dare to consider the possibility that her knowledge of the subject might be greater than yours.

I’ve never seen one, does “doona” mean a duvet?
Probably, Sal. Could be a regional distinction.
It’s the insert – down, wool, polyester – sandwiched in a “sheet” envelope. Thickness depends on climate or budget. I bought a beauty in silk with a silk envelope in Shanghai. Perfect for where we live.
Down is strictly for freezing climates. Wool ditto. Mixed with central heating they are a nightmare.
In our cooling, energy free world they might be life savers to huddle under.

If you’re going to make predictions about how the next federal term is going to go, you can’t just assume that ICAC won’t be operating. The light will go on, cockroaches will scatter but some will get stomped.Shocking as it might be, a Federal ICAC is unlikely to have the powers (and responsibilities) of a court. The High Court ruled on this back in the 1990s. So it will operate (if it does what you want) as a Star Chamber, with no capability to put people in jail..

I received origin’s bulletin about the closure of Eraring today. 2025 is their preferred date and they claim:
We are committed to maintaining our existing high safety and environmental performance standards and to ensuring reliable power is available for our customers and community up until the retirement of the EPS units.
They admit they can’t ensure reliable power after Eraring is closed!
After Eraring goes its everyone for themselves. Like I say it won’t be the price of electricity but the availability of it.

Like how Live Export of Sheep and Cattle over the past 45 years has resulted in widespread closure of Meat Processing in Australia and massive job losses?
One of the main reasons for the rise of the live trade in the first place was the high cost of slaughter and processing in Australia, and the sheer ratbaggery of the Meat-worker’s Union.
-

If you haven’t been paying attention in NSW, ICACs tend to be feared and respected.
Albo may yet squib it like Biden and Garland have largely squibbed the high-level treason and sedition of 1/6, but one hopes that he will give the new federal ICAC the teeth of the NSW one. Different legal environment maybe, but he has considerable moral authority to get it done, especially in the short term.

I went right into the danger zone and saw Top Gun Maverick today. Good fun for those old enough to remember the original.
At least the movie deals with real world aircraft and dangers in combat not some absurd sci-fi crap.

Yokels protesting and being shot isn’t treason, montell.

Can’t be the sacred ‘my body, my choice’ mantra, since the poor little thing is an independent, fully functioning body itself.
But I’m sure you lot of perverts and baby murderers will find a way to excuse infanticide. Just as you encourage men in female private spaces, child grooming and the sexual mutilation of vulnerable adolescents.

JC, your gas investment.
Still waiting for an answer from those I know but what I can tell you is that if you are talking liquid it is obviously a gas tenement (which is a Petroleum Lease) not CSG or tight held gas. The liquid is gas condensate, which is measured in barrels same oil. Gas as I mentioned is usually measured in joules for resource estimates. I am used to embellishment of resource estimates but some of the crude maths I did on 176,00 acres at $15,000 is a large sum of money. I’d be wary at face value, especially if it is on the production per acre. Santos get a fraction of that with CSG which I am familiar with.
As for depths, no issues. Those are normal for even CSG.
If I am informed on anything further relevant I post.
-
The scenes of jets taking off and landing on carriers gives you a jolt, as I’d imagine it does for the crew and pilots.
One doesn’t ‘take off’ from a carrier. One is unceremoniously catapulted into the air.
And nor does one ‘land’ on a carrier. One crashes into the deck at a shallow angle, hoping to be snared by a cable, but thumping the balls to the wall just in case the cable catch is not completed. -
After Eraring goes its everyone for themselves. Like I say it won’t be the price of electricity but the availability of it.
OK. I’ve got the SP on board to install a gas generator so we are prepared for when this load of goat’s merda hits the windmill blades.
Any helpful advice from the engineering/technical/ practical Cats to assist this Kitteh to make a good value decision (as the Prince is..ahem…severely technically challenged) gratefully received to assist further consideration. -
I despise corruption in any forms in a developed country like Australia. I have seen it at its rawness in the third world.
That said both sides are as bad as each other with legalised corruption and point scoring in this field does no one any good.
ICAC’s, IBAC’s or CCC’s are great but what have they really achieved? Devils advocate on part of the Liberals, a party whom I despise. Dan Andrews thumbs his nose at them, they seem to pick off NSW Premiers while somehow missing the likes of ALP Premiers cough Keneally, Beattie in Qld need I say any more, more recently Palace”chook”. The problem hasn’t been solved and is still there.
Sorry needs to be put out of the hand of the politicians but who? The Judiciary is equally compromised these days.

The “Net Zero” stuff won’t happen in any practical way. How can it?The “zero” part of Net Zero will be for most of us plebs. That is, 65 grand small electric cars instead of 32 grand affordable Rav4s and Kia Sportages. Astronomical gas and electricity and soaring meat prices.
The “Net” part of Net Zero will be the “Allegrafication” of the wealthy doctors wives. They will get richer, they will have carbon offset schemes and solar panels to make themselves feel good. They will plough on with a rich and wasteful lifestyle because they can afford to. The rest of us, the great unwashed can please ourselves.

The productivity gains supported beef supply growing, on average, 2.6% per annum over the decade as illustrated in Figure 4. Strong supply growth put downward pressure on prices throughout the 1990s, with real farm gate prices falling 19% over the decade, as other sectors of the supply chain and consumers shared in the benefits of improved on-farm productivity.

Kumanjayi Walker inquest: Cops to be grilled on ‘systemic racism”
Amos Aikman
Northern Correspondent
@amosaikman
An hour ago May 26, 2022A coronial inquest into the shooting of Aboriginal teenager Kumanjayi Walker will look for “evidence of systemic racism” in the Northern Territory Police Force and ask whether Constable Zachary Rolfe might have been suffering from a health condition or using drugs at the time of the fatal incident.
The inquest will also examine whether there has been a “militarisation” of policing in the NT, including if it was appropriate for Constable Rolfe’s unit to bring “military-style weapons” when it set out to arrest Walker for escaping from a rehabilitation facility and threatening two police officers with an axe.
It will ask whether Constable Rolfe provided “accurate and honest information” when applying to become a police officer, having served previously in the army, and whether he or any of his police Immediate Response Team colleagues have been involved in disciplinary or remedial action.
Constable Rolfe was acquitted earlier this year of murdering Walker during a botched attempted arrest in the troubled outback community of Yuendumu in 2019. Walker, who had a history of violence against police and his partner, stabbed Constable Rolfe with scissors, and the latter shot him three times during a struggle.
The jury’s verdict outraged some Aboriginal elders, who claimed the justice system was biased; they demanded a ban on police officers carrying guns in the bush.
Evidence emerged after the trial that Constable Rolfe had been involved in several other incidents of alleged excessive use of force against Aboriginal suspects and had privately described Alice Springs as a “shithole” where police did “cowboy stuff with no rules”.
In one of the alleged incidents, Constable Rolfe “deliberately assaulted” a young Aboriginal male, then “fabricated an injury to cover up” the excessive use of force and “lied in evidence” about what he had done, a magistrate concluded.
Constable Rolfe acknowledged in an interview with The Australian he had been the subject of “a number of complaints” about his use of force. “Every one of those has been investigated, and I’ve been cleared,” he said. “That force was never excessive – it was relative to the situation.”
The inquest, due to begin in September and last several weeks, has amassed more than 12,000 items of evidence and will hear from dozens of witnesses.
A draft issues list indicated the inquest would ask whether Alice Springs-based police officers “discriminated against Indigenous Australians” and whether there was evidence the “fairness or efficiency of the coronial investigation by NT Police was compromised”.
The inquiry will look at Walker’s life and the circumstances of his death. It will also examine whether he had any disabilities such as mental health or foetal alcohol spectrum disorders, hearing loss or learning defects.
Acting Coroner Elisabeth Armitage said Constable Rolfe would feature prominently in her inquiry “because he is integral to these events”. She said that would be “as an example or exemplar of what might be broader issues within the police force”.
Counsel assisting, Peggy Dwyer, stressed the inquest would not be “a roving royal commission” into Constable Rolfe’s conduct. “If mistakes were made leading up to Kumanjayi’s death, the aim of this inquest is not to blame one individual,” she said.
“We must acknowledge the mistakes, learn the lessons from them and prevent those deaths from occurring in the future.”
Constable Rolfe’s lawyer, Luke Officer, said his client was “alive to the positives that can come from this inquest” and knew it was “important there is an attempt to rebuild relationships” between communities and police.
Good luck in recruiting for the NT police……

LIVE SHEEP EXPORTS
During the election campaign, the Labor leader said he would phase out live-sheep exports if he became Prime Minister, despite Mr McGowan refusing to throw his support behind his own party’s policy.
Mr Albanese still stands by his commitment to shut down the $136 million trade industry, but has yet to come up with a timeline.
“There really isn’t a timeframe on it because we want to work with industry and work with State governments,” he said. “There’s already been a significant reduction in live-sheep exports and we’ll maintain the ban. We’re not talking immediate action. We want to make sure that the interests of farmers and jobs are protected.
“I respect Mark’s position and that’s why we’ll work with the WA Government. I’m sure Mark will continue to play the constructive role that he always does.”

The True Evil of the World Economic Forum
Whenever I listen to Klaus Schwab and his Davos Death Cult buddies openly discuss their plans for world domination, I always think, “Are we really going to let another power-hungry German walk us into global conflagration?” For a while there, I believed that Western allies had endured enough death and slaughter from the first two world wars to forge an informal understanding among themselves that uncontrolled German megalomania invariably leads to malignant outcomes for all. Then came German reunification, and the nation’s inevitable economic dominance over all of Europe assured its status as the most powerful member of the European Union. All that effort to constrain the German empire’s influence went up in smoke. It turns out that it is far easier to conquer the European continent with flowery promises of “peace,” “economic integration,” and “international cooperation” than it is to send jackbooted shock troops marching past the Arc de Triomphe and down the Champs-Élysées.

you haven’t lived until you sat in on a meeting where the Asset Manager and the Consulting Engineers are discussing fractional NABERS “stars” as if they are a currency.
Asset Guy: So, how much will 0.25 NABERS stars cost to achieve by the end of the year?
Engineer: How much have you got mate? -

Before this interaction, and I have checked it, I have replied to your comments exactly 6 times!!!
Always jokingly as there wasn’t any substance to your comments anyway.How wiki comes into play I’m bamboozled, I never visit it unless a link is provided, mostly know my stuff from actual learning and reading.
Again I ask what gives? Why the sudden hostility about the Uighur matter, and what does your parents’ experience has to do with it? -

If you said they’re knife wielding thugs being paid by the CIA to cause terror in Western China, I can’t see what Bespoke’s problem is.I’m afraid, that, that was bespoke’s assertions, at least what one can glean from his cryptic posts.
Pointing out that the Uighurs are actually a separate nationality who happen to live under Chinese rule, set him off.
To this very moment, I can’t fathom why?
