Reading .. The SS Alibi of a Nation 1922-1945 by Gerald Reitlinger (the, generally, recognized authoritive work on the SS) the author states that the US was quite happy to turn a blind eye to Nazi war crimes if the perpetrator(s) were of a some use to them .. not small numbers either but 1 000s were either re-settled in the USA or given military gummint jobs in Germany .. Nuremburg was just a “show pony” to impress the public and allow 1 000s more to go unnoticed …..!
The big part of the problem is that a position at a school is tied to a person and many staff may no longer be at the the school* and have a “right of return”.
Until they relinquish their position a school can only employ contract staff in case the teacher decides to come back. In Qld, if you have over 2 years contract under your belt, the Dept will offer you permanency, but, and it is a big but, it may not be in the school you are at, and you might get posted to somewhere like Arakun.

LCOE is a pathetically stupid metric for stupid people
You could take every wind and solar generator whose LCOE looked wonderful
and all that plated capacity that realistically only delivers what 1/10 of their rated power
… then turn of the coal and dont build the nuclear.
then every single bit of the best rated will be about as useful as an ashtray on a motorbike.
what does their LCOE look like when they dont deliver energy because we dont have a grid?
pick a discount rate and work that out in future dollars per kWh
LCOE is horse-shit when applied to base-load generation
Rosie we AIRBNB our place, the place is very well described with pictures. We have had bad reviews from not being close enough to takeaway coffee, a 3/5 for cleanliness after saying in the comments it was sparkling clean, not being close enough to their preferred dive sites (somehow the place moved after we told them where the best sites were), it rained and so on. Usually the ones that complain are the same ones that steal the video games or DVD’s. Put hot pots on the wooden table. Complain about some burnt on flakes on the wok then put the broken wine glasses at the back of the cupboard. Eat curry in bed with tumeric staining the sheets. It goes on and on. I hate to think how some live going by the state they leave the place in. That said most people are pretty good, we don’t worry about broken plates or glasses. The worst thing is if they don’t put the bins out. Recently a child had left their favourite cuddle toy behind. We sent it back and received a lovely photo of toy being reunited with child. We have only made 2 claims as its generally not worth the effort with the websites.

Now that’s what I call bonhomie.
Righto OCO, let’s re-examine what you said. You reckon tradies and miners are the sum total of the working class, and the right need to appeal to them and everything will be hunky dory because the message will trickle down from rock-ribbed men to those flighty women. But as I have been pointing out at length, that is not really the working class in Australia any more. Your message already appeals to that aspirational demographic, who earn enough to reach the upper middle classes. You’ve got their vote. They are not the ones you need to expand your base.
What do you think the right needs to do to appeal to working class people who are not tradies or miners? Anything? Or do you just think they need a gesture because they are stupid females.
“The Liberal Party will get there eventually, pick a local liberal and they get the Seat back.”

Carter froze Iranian assets in the U.S. in 1978.
It was totally illegal, and the U.S. eventually gave that money back.

Yes, it’s the same here in Wentworth. Today we had a family lunch down in Double Bay for my mother’s birthday. We sat next to three elderly people whom my mother vaguely knew. We all got talking about the election result and how awful it is to have Princess Allegra as our local member, how sinister Holmes a Court is and how terrible Albanese will be.
But I do wonder about the younger generation. I really think so many have been indoctrinated into green left ideology. However I’m lucky with my sister’s boys. They’re rock solid conservatives. Today over lunch we were praising the merits of Dutton yet my nephew said that he and his friends don’t like him. I asked…why? He said they find him lacking in any personality and charisma. I responded by saying that the MSM have framed Dutton as lacking personality but as for “charisma”, I don’t want a leader that’s charismatic, I want a leader who’s capable of leading, who will stand up for Liberal principles and who will take the fight to Labor and the left and not cower in the corner for fear of hurting someone’s feelings.

This might come as a shock to you, being as you are a self-satisfied, smug, Kulak, but there are many working class people who aspire to improve their situation in life. They also are “aspirational”, and will be attracted to a party that is willing to help them, unlike the self-satisfied, smug, upper middle class, over credentialed, parasites who now infest the Liars, who do not wish to see the serfs get above their station, which has been decreed by their betters.

If they are going to be sincere at making a genuine appeal to the working class, they need to change their policy tune away from tax cuts for the rich and handouts to corporate donors. Trickle down economics isn’t going to work.

Also von Braun and team weren’t in Peenemunde when they surrendered to the Americans in southern Germany. Peenemunde is on the Baltic coast. They deliberately chose the Americans. Most of them weren’t actually keen on working on weapons, they were spaceflight enthusiasts. The weapons work was a means to an end.

You’re talking about the liars you fat, healthy arsehole.
Thanks Eddy, but you’re going to have to do better than Samantha Maiden, tabloid journalist and muckraker extraordinaire, digging up the fact that Katherine Deves once went to Mardi Gras.
Oh and since you’ve linked to Samantha Maiden, I strongly suspect that Katherine Deves, unlike Maiden, has never been accused of bullying. From the AFR’s story about Maiden in 2020..
“This is a person who was suspended by her previous employer, Sky News, in May 2018 for bullying. She was allowed to resign the following month. Remember, at that time, Speers worked at Sky too, where a tyrannical Maiden was the subject of multiple complaints by her junior colleagues. Yet Speers now considers Maiden an acceptable adjudicator of ministerial conduct?! We suppose it could be argued she’s putting her direct expertise in bullying to a constructive application…
Two years before her Sky breakdown, in April 2016, Maiden drank herself into a stupor at Mark Textor’s 50th birthday party then drove home “on the wrong side of the road around a left hand bend”. There were not one but two police chases before she was finally arrested. It is not hyperbole to say it’s a wonder nobody was killed.
I really don’t think that Maiden is in any position to cast aspersions on Katherine Deves’ character.
And further to Ms Maiden, I’d love to know her involvement in the Christian Porter allegations. There’s a story there.

Greens win Brisbane, meaning Labor is unlikely to get to 76 Seats and Majority Government.
Terrific organising from The Greens, they picked up 2 LNP seats and Griffith off Labor.
I asked…why? He said they find him lacking in any personality and charisma.
True, but not important.
Firstly, the first person to take over as Opposition Leader after a defeat is hardly ever the person to lead the defeated party back into office. The only possible example in the last 100 years is John Curtin, though after Labor’s defeat in 1931 James Scullin stayed on as leader for about four years (and another election loss) before Curtin took over. So history tells us that Dutton is likely to be replaced before the Coalition is in shape to return to power.
Secondly, the Coalition tends to do better when it’s being portrayed as conservative – e.g. the landslides in 1975, 1996 and 2013, compare with far worse showings subsequently when they’ve been revealed to be milquetoast sops. For example, in 2016 “progressive” icon Malcolm the Magician made 15 Liberal seats vanish and only held office because the Nats clawed one back from Labor – then the chattering classes went apeshit about the Coalition being far right when then they punted Malcolm, but the voters rewarded the Coalition in 2019 with an improved TPP and seats result; but in 2022 the voters turned away in droves when it had become apparent that the supposedly far right Coalition under ScoMo were actually Labor/Greens without the trade union connections. So demonising Dutton as conservative is unlikely to help the “progressives”.
Yeah, Sam Maiden, great hair, top muckraker, sounds like good company.
If you’d read a bit further you’d see where Katherine Deves hosted the Kennedy Awards for Journalism.
Doesn’t sound like the type of outfit the Electors of Warringah would want anything to do with.

Trickle down economics isn’t going to work.
“Trickle down economics” has always been a leftist fantasy misrepresentation of conservative/libertarian thought.
What happens when, after an economic downturn, a sensible government starts encouraging enterprise?
First, people with initiative start businesses. They invest their savings into it, start working really hard, and often go deep into debt to get the business through “Death Valley” as the venture capitalists sometimes call it. (Also other investors sometimes tip money in, and they also have to wait and see whether the business gets through death valley before they can even get their money back let alone a profit.)
And they employ people. Those people get jobs, and get paid wages, while the business is still losing money in its startup phase. If the business fails the employees lose their job but the owners can lose everything. And if the business survives the startup phase and eventually becomes profitable the owners then, and only then, start reaping financial rewards for themselves.
So, far from the leftist stooge fantasy about conservative/libertarians theorising about the rich getting wealthy followed by some crumbs falling down to the poor, the conservative/libertarians know that when entrepreneurialism is encouraged the poor get first bite at the new wealth, even before its been created, through jobs and wages.

Reading “The Collins Class Submarine Story.”
During the project negotiations with Kockums, of Sweden, , a senior Swedish Government official was invited to lunch at Duntroon. When he arrived, several Army offices walked out of the room as a protest against Swedish refusal, during the Vietnam war, to supply ammunition for the Carl Gustav recoiless guns they had sold to Australia.
Allegations were made that certain members of the Australian project team had been presented with new Saab cars, and a sizeable donation had been made to Labor Party funds. These claims were later found to be unfounded, but the Swedish defence that the structure of the Australian project team was so complicated that they didn’t know who to bribe, was shakes, to say the least….

I’m not sure why we should feel sorry for the Biloela family. They were illegal immigrants who appealed their deportation, which was rejected. Further appeals (funded by who, exactly) have delayed their deportation by years, until a change of government made their residence permanent Why? Their story is hardly unique, and has been told over and over. They may well be admirable people, but the point is tha they have rorted the system. They won.

There’s nothing quite like existing in an open air concentration kamp to focus one’s mind, I tells ya.
It’s not a final determination; like thousands of others, they’ve been granted a bridging visa with work rights until they’ve exhausted their appeals.
I predict they’ll become a headache for Labor before their term is out, because they won’t risk introducing new legislation to accomodate one family with much wider ramifications for illegal immigrants attached.
I must say Katherine Deves does scrub up ok. In many respects. Her best asset is her intelligence, looks come and go. Her more obvious assets will be heading south soon and then not such a good asset.

He said also that two years of lockdown have left kids’ immune systems very vulnerable because they just didn’t get the run of the mill routine exposure to viruses that they normally get, so there are way more of them being admitted now than usual. I didn’t specifically ask about unjabbed layoffs, but given that the unjabbed were all laid off, the covid-induced staff shortages must be among the vaxxed.
“What on earth is going on at the Royal Melbourne Hospital?”
Royal Melbourne isn’t a maternity hospital.
The Royal Women’s is, literally around the corner from the Royal Melbourne.
(I didn’t watch your video.)
If the Women’s is overflowing then that must mean lots and lots of women are having babies and the birthing suites were full?
Looks like there are some significant developments in Ukraine. The first two links are from Gonzalo Lira and the third one, which seems to confirm, is from Alexander Mercouris.

Liberal party press release from 17 April.
Incidentally this was also true in mid June 2020, I know from family experience.
Staffing shortages in Victoria’s maternity services has reached a breaking point, with reports of babies and mothers at risk of serious injury as the system struggles to cope.
In June 2018, a Parliamentary Inquiry into Perinatal Services found that there were gaps in the system, such as the provision of perinatal mental health care, shortages in the workforce, and a lack of breastfeeding support.
The report comes as Portland District Health closed its maternity ward earlier this year, leaving women in labour no choice but to travel more than an hour to the nearest hospital to give birth.
The Murugappan family is known as the Nadesalingam family now?
Either that, or the Immigration Dept has decided that Biloela is to become Sri Lanka 2.0.

Roger says: May 28, 2022 at 7:19 pm
The ALP will be acutely conscious that plenty of their voters, especially ethnic types, utterly loathe queue jumpers & fake refugees.
The Anglo-Saxons who support the Murugappan/Nadesalingam voted not ALP, but Green or Teal. The ALP will also be acutely conscious of that.
Much reflection ahead for the ALP regards the Murugappan/Nadesalingam/otheralphabetsoupname family.
Gliberal party press release from 23 May:
We regret that we weren’t klimatee enough for the electorate and that we didn’t gift enough safe seats to strong powerful wymminzes such as the Teals (err, until we did). Had we known, we would have allowed Joshi, Trent, Jaso, Davo et al, to start identifying as chest feeders and given them a sympathetic makeover such as this.
But not the Bananaby. The Australian Beetroot identifying community (all fifteen of them) would have been outraged.
This message written and spoken on behalf of the gliberal party of Australia by the Kroges, Kooyong, Melbourne.
I know the Northern Beaches quite well, lived there for a while and still have many old and new friends there. I suspect the vote for Teals was ‘a pox on both your Houses’ vote. Feelings about the effective closure of the Mona Vale Hospital (diminishing its services) still run very high, and people have said to me that they are ‘fed up’ with all politicians – hence the Teals are seen as non-politicians. There is also a lot of environmental concern, with many still thinking, as per Gillard’s ‘black balloon’ propaganda mailed out to all households, that ‘carbon’ is atmospheric particulate pollution.
Sometimes people have to find out the hard way how much they have been conned.
More titles for the jaded:
Daughter of Shame: everyone knew about her act of indecency but not why she did it; or would do it again.
My Wife Made Me Love Her Sister: confessions of a man who married a twin.
Dark Yearning: her husband was a monster, her wedding night a nightmare, yet her marriage was a success.
Dangerous Desires: a vivid tale of one girl’s struggle to find love and happiness after an ugly, sensual, and lustful affair of the flesh!
That’s even worse than it sounds, since first time mothers won’t be sure whether the baby is arriving or not.

Lizzie, considering the sheer number of educated, saavy, intelligent people, who plain do not understand the (quite simple) preferential voting system, even for the House of Reps, I’m ceasing to be quite so amazed at the inability of people to understand almost anything, even people you’d expect better of.

I seem to remember a report on 3AW of the Elf Department commissioning a report on Portland Hospital from an Elf expert.
To his credit the expert refused to pocket the lazy $25 – $50k, and instead released a statement saying, “You’ve got all the reports you need. You know the problem. Just fix it.”
I suspect he won’t be asked back for another report.
There’s nothing new in Victoria’s public hospital crisis, iirc Vic health had less staff that the premier’s office, and of course a previous health minister was our very own Dandy Dan Andrews.

The public health system is broken because the public are broken: 50 years of welfare, reward for failure, fraudulent dietary advice and big pharma scheming to make people chronically ill – then make money off their chronic illness meds, has broken the people and ergo, broken the public health system.
Sadly, I now realise its ALL intentional – the government WANTs a domesticated, dependent population, and big pharma is happy to fleece the herd so created.
I have but one problem with it, give a choice of totally rejecting some candidates from getting my “preference”.
For example I like #1, #2 is acceptable but the rest I do not want at all!

At 5.30 pm today only 4% of energy for Qld, NSW, Vic and SA combined, was provided by wind and solar. The rest was brown coal in Vic. Black coal in NSW and Qld, Hydro in Tas and in SA mostly imported brown coal generated energy from Vic and gas (very expensive). Vic was up to nearly 70% brown coal. Can’t wait for the coal mine closures. No amount of investment in wind and solar will replace coal when the sun doesn’t shine and the wind doesn’t blow. Can you imagine batteries replacing 70% of Vic’s power for even a minute? We are in for an energy rock and roll fest.

The public health system is broken because the public are broken:
Towards the end of the last lockdown the Vietcong next door to me had an ambulance call-out 11 days out of 15 .. the average stay was 2 hours and whatever the problem(s) no one was ever carted away .. I don’t profess to know what is required to be taken to hospital but even I figure that 11 calls over 15 days should have gotten some what-are-we-doing attention from whoever runs the ambo operations ….
this street is 700 mts from Fairfield Hospital, 3 minute drive, 7 minute walk ……!
Albo is estimated to be worth ten million quid, and one of the richest politicians in Australia. Wouldn’t that make him part of “The big end of town?”
So I, due to his invaluable business acumen also sits on some superannuation boards.
As for OCO’s accusation that I don’t understand the lower classes… please. I grew up in country Victoria in Seymour, my best mates lived in Army-provided houses. I went to university and got a good job, yes, but in my 30s I fell on hard times and spent the best part of a decade being poor, living on the dole trying to start my business. I spent a lot of time in that period of my life around poor and underprivileged people, because I was one of them. The unemployed, the old, those on DSP, even the mentally impaired when I worked with my uncle to support a Reclink team… these were the people I hung out with.
My business eventually succeeded and lifted me out of poverty and into the middle class, then it grew more and my marriage vaulted me briefly into the 1%, before a business setback many years ago cut my earnings in half. I would consider myself upper middle class these days.
Now, am I a toff? Bugger off, to listen to me speak is to know that I am not. JC can vouch for that.
Do I have a better handle on what the working class need out of a joint like the Liberal Party than you lot do? Ab-so-flowering-lutely. It is easy to pick apart your prescription for the Right to win the working class vote, because it is the same as your answer to everything: do everything according to what I want, which is to follow outdated instructions from fusty classical liberal textbooks of near on a century ago. You are out of touch with reality in general, let alone the specific needs of the median Australian working class voter.

But it’s a great moment for football. The greatest team of all remains the 52-53 Cats, 26 games without defeat, 23 wins in a row (2 wins and a draw at the start). Bobby Davis, Bernie Smith, Fred Flanagan, Leo Turner, Ron Hovey et. al. have never been matched and probably never will be.

It’s a “progressive” thing.

The way that the Libs can get the working class on board is to use worker cooperatives:
(a) make them available from ASIC as a possible form of incorporation;
(b) place them under a separate industrial relations system, whose administration is elected by members of worker cooperatives;
(c) allow industrial action in the pursuit of employee buyouts creating worker cooperatives (instead of only for EBAs as now);
(d) create a financial scheme for employee buyouts.
The advantage here is that employees in a workers cooperative will see themselves as business owners. And they will start to take a perspective more favourable to the Libs.
