Looks like Bulgaria has a bit of a problem, with the Ukrainian refugees.
They were/are housed in top-class seaside hotels free of charge at off season rates of course, and now that the tourist season started, they can’t get them out.
Tourists bring more money in than just hotel fees, so there is a dilemma.
Will be interesting to see how they solve it?

Nothing good.
I’ll tell you what though, I’m currently in York and the affection for the Queen is overflowing. Yesterday I was in London and the queue to get into the grandstands to watch the ceremony at the Palace started at the Ritz, headed away from Green Park, went around the corner for over a hundred meters, then turned back past the Ritz again, into Green Park and into the stands. It was an orderly queue, well dressed, women in their finery and the men in suits, veterans with their gongs.
There were people everywhere. Green Park tube station had to open up the turnstiles and just let the crowd flow through. The Union Jack was everywhere, worn as suits, dresses, hats and bows or just a flag carried and waved around. Up in York, it is not as crazy but flags are decorating just about every business and the people are out enjoying the celebrations. Pity Bob Moran can’t enjoy with the rest of the nation.

Jupes, must’ve just missed you. We were in York last week, and in Windsor only a few days ago.
In the past week the Royal fever was mounting right throughout the beflagged kingdom, and I caught it a bit myself. Tomorrow, the post-Covid street parties should delight many as they remeet their neighbours. Shame to have to leave the day before the flyover, but we hadn’t factored the Jubilee into our dates. Last time I had to leave a few days before the UK was having a significant Royal event was way back in 1953 just before the Coronation. I remember the disappointment even now. We did however manage to arrive from South Africa on the same flight as Diana’s brother the day after she died and took in the temperature of the times back then, with Her Maj very much on the other side of the fickle public equation, seemingly deliberately remote at Balmoral. It improved when she finally turned up in London, where we were quite fortuitously hanging around as the Queen and the Duke arrived in black rollers to inspect the flowers with the two boys.
Harry is now getting boo’d as he and Meaghan depart from the Platinum Jubilee thanksgiving service. He looked woeful as he walked into the church realising how much he had given up. Meaghan putting a brave face on it all, the two of them clutching each other’s hand for support, for things are hardly working out well for them in America. They need the pomp of on-going Royalty to be somebodies. A sad descent now into a reprise of the Duke of Windsor? It is sad for their children.
We hope to go back to the UK next September after our four-master cruise from Croatia to Athens. I will need to keep limber enough to manage all of those spiral stairs on board; no elevators at all.
We will be in the US this October just before the mid-terms; will report as and when I can then for those friends here who might be interested in reading my impressions. I have enjoyed reading Calli’s similar tales and also Rosie’s earlier trip file. Drop a line here again soon, Jupes.
Is Bons still in the UK? Hope he has recovered from his equestrian adventures.
Note how the fact that women bear and raise children has been downgraded into nothingness in this account. This is our primary biological purpose and one that the species cannot ignore. Having the physical nature and apparatus that enables us to do so is what makes us women.
Although some seem to be doing a good job of trying to ignore this.
Declaring it irrelevant to ‘real’ womanhood, which is apparently determined by feelz and a dress.
Watched another episode of Yellowstone last night.
Before going to the kitchen to make a cup of coffee, I said to my wife that a grizzly bear will show up to keep the non stop action farce at a high level.
Through the house my wife’s voice came “You’ve got to be kidding!”
Sure enough a bear made an appearance while I was away.
If you view everything the current junta in us does through the lens of weakening America and impoverishing Americans, it all makes perfect sense. The old thief never struck me as much of a Marxist. More a low rent crook. But that disgusting old grub is just a figurehead of course.

Who Really Killed Seth Rich?
Who is Seth Rich, and why was he murdered? Many media outlets ignored this unsolved murder in D.C. in July 2016. Those who wrote about this suspicious death were dismissed as conspiracy theorists. Jack Cashill wrote the best summary of Rich’s murder:
Unknown assailants gun down the young DNC data analyst at 4 A.M. on a Washington, D.C., street and take nothing. Two weeks later, international man of mystery Julian Assange strongly suggests on Dutch T.V. that Rich was his source for the purloined DNC emails then roiling the Democratic Party.
Many watched the Kabuki Theater of the Deep State unfold over many years with a very jaundiced eye.
[But what if this was a] . . . leak by a disgruntled DNC worker who had physical access to the server and copied the files to a thumb drive or similar. This thumb drive was then handled [sic] directly to a WikiLeaks operative. Julian Assange continues to deny he received the DNC files from the Russians. There is no doubt the Russians, the North Koreans, and the Chinese, and other intel agencies were in Hillary Clinton’s homebrew server. And yet we were assured with high confidence by our intel agencies Russians [sic] operatives did the DNC hack.
With last week’s testimony of Robby Mook (Clinton Campaign Chair) at the Michael Sussmann trial, Hillary Clinton is toast whether Sussmann is convicted or not. The Russian Collusion narrative now should be dead and buried. Real Clear Politics has an excellent summary of the collusion and conspiracy of the players now exposed, including the Clinton campaign that perpetuated the Russian Collusion narrative.
With this new information and the demise of the Russian Collusion narrative, it’s time for a new look at the untimely death of Seth Rich. If the Russians did not hack the DNC server, who did? There was damaging information to the Clinton campaign in this alleged hack. Julian Assange did have information that he later published. However, Assange continues to say it was not the Russians that gave him the data. As Cashill writes, Wikileaks offered a $20,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of Rich’s killer. The damage control by the Clinton campaign was to blame the hack on the Russian Collusion narrative. Was this a disinformation operation by our spooks – CIA Director John Brennan and Director of National Intelligence James Clapper et. al.?

Sussmann’s cozy relationship with the FBI revealed
Reps. Jim Jordan and Matt Gaetz sent a letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray this week with details they had learned about the relationship between Perkins, Sussmann, and the bureau.
“We have learned that since March 2012, the FBI approved and facilitated a Secure Work Environment at Perkins Coie’s Washington, D.C., office, which continues to be operational. In a letter dated May 25, 2022, the law firm confirmed and acknowledged the arrangement,” Jordan and Gaetz told Wray.
“We have been informed that former Perkins Coie partner Michael Sussmann had access to this Secure Work Environment, and during the course of his recent trial, it was disclosed he had special badge access to FBI headquarters.”
Jordan and Gaetz added: “This information raises serious questions about the FBI and Perkins Coie’s arrangement of a Secure Work Environment as well as the FBI’s close relationship with the firm’s former partners. We have learned that Sussmann had access to this Secure Work Environment until some point in 2021, with limited supervised access thereafter.”
Why The Special Counsel Needs To Fight For More Spygate Documents, Stat
BY: MARGOT CLEVELAND
JUNE 03, 2022
Special Counsel John Durham’s prosecution of Igor Danchenko, the Russian national who served as Christopher Steele’s primary sub-source, will soon heat up—maybe as early as next week, if prosecutors are wise and return to the grand jury to obtain the documents the Hillary Clinton campaign wrongfully withheld based on attorney-client privilege. Those documents will likely reveal Fusion GPS peddled Danchenko’s lies directly to reporters.
The jury’s acquittal of former Clinton campaign attorney Michael Sussmann after less than a day of deliberations represented a setback to Durham’s three-year investigation of the Russia collusion hoax. Americans nonetheless learned much from the prosecution, including that Hillary Clinton held personal responsibility for the peddling of the Alfa Bank conspiracy theory and that, post-Donald Trump, the FBI and legacy media remain corrupt.

July 28, 2016, is also the date the FBI received the “tip” from the Australian diplomat that George Papadopoulos “had received some kind of suggestion from Russia that it could assist . . . with the anonymous release of information during the campaign that would be damaging to [Hillary] Clinton.” That “tip” purportedly formed the basis for opening Crossfire Hurricane.

It’s interesting how Moran portrays the Queen as a “parasite”, gorging on food at the expense of others. It is a wildly inaccurate description, Queen Elizabeth is a model of decorum, frugality and civility, one of the last of a generation who experienced personal and national sacrifice. They were the best generation, now almost lost forever. Now we’re surrounded by mediocrity and narcissism.
Moran’s simplistic cartoon is more applicable, here in Oz, the UK, the US, in fact across the West, to a new class of elitist scum, the real parasites aren’t the royals, it’s the political carpetbaggers and here in Oz it’s the grifters with surnames such as Turnbull, Rudd and Holmes a Court. In the coming years, whilst ordinary people freeze and starve, the aforementioned names will be the ones sitting at a table gorging on food whilst the rest of us sit glumly wondering how and where we’ll find the money to buy food and to turn on the heater.
Until recently, having been born and bred in a country like Australia and, despite knowing history very well, I never quite understood how revolutions happen. I do now.

Review: What Is a Woman?
Horrifying. Disturbing. Brilliant.
I have probably met and interviewed more transgender people, gender-critical feminists, detransitioners and people engaged in the “trans debate” than almost anyone. In preparation for these conversations, I’ve read extensively about the origins of gender ideology, the medical realities of transition and the ideological underpinnings of this emerging phenomenon.
And even so, watching What is a Woman?, a Daily Wire documentary by Matt Walsh, was shocking and informative.
Why? Because while I am well-acquainted with the arguments made by the different sides, it is the response his polite questioning brings out of doctors, college professors and even a sitting US congressman that is disturbing to say the least.
A medical professional responding to a question about whether a chicken that lays eggs is female by asking “Does a chicken cry?” may start out being the usual hilarious culture war content.

Best British coins (only fair quality) I own are:

1885 half sovereign (Au)
1951 Festival of Britain crown (Ag).
The 1929 Geo. V sixpence has a very cool design. There is an art appreciation angle here too.
Geo. III coins are funny, he has an obvious triple chin.
The design and inscription on the Festival of Britain coin is bloody brilliant, epitomising human progress:
‘By the industry of its people the State flourishes’
In Latin, of course. Not even conservative governments tend to agree with that statement anymore…
Coins are great.

School shootings show our leaders, not Americans, are the moral failures
By Glenn H. Reynolds
But when the facts come in, it invariably turns out that the tragedy doesn’t stem from a spiritual failing in America but rather from the fact that some (most?) of our institutions are run by creeps, crooks and incompetents.
We’ve also discovered the Uvalde police — despite well-established doctrine that a mass shooter must be confronted immediately by whoever is at hand — hung back for nearly an hour while children were murdered inside. We’ve seen chilling timelines showing repeated cellphone calls from students trapped inside, wondering why no one was coming to help.
And we’ve seen video of the police not simply failing to protect the children but blocking (and even arresting) parents who tried to get past them to help their kids. When a tactical response team from a nearby US Border Patrol unit showed up, the police even stopped it from going to the rescue right away.
These children didn’t die because there’s some sort of dark moral stain on the American soul. They died because the people in charge of protecting them were cowards and frauds, and now those cowards and frauds are trying to avoid responsibility.
We saw the same thing with the Parkland school shooting in Broward County, Fla., where once again a dangerous student was repeatedly let off the hook by fashionably lax disciplinary policies until he committed mass murder. Then, when he did, the police were cowards who hid outside.
But then, as columnist Kurt Schlichter writes, “The new normal is failure.” “The clusterfark in Uvalde is just a symptom of a much bigger pathology. It is a symbol of the failure of every institution in our society,” he says. “And the solution is never to revamp the institutions and eject the parasites heading them. It’s always — always — to take power from us and give it to the people who screwed up in the first place.”
It seems like these killers — Parkland shooter Nikolas Cruz and Uvalde shooter Salvador Ramos, among many others — were known to be problems well before but weren’t properly dealt with. Then, once the shooting started, the police hid behind cars and let children die.
Just this week, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen admitted that she had been “wrong” on the threat posed by inflation. Last year she had said, “I think there’s a small risk, and I think it’s manageable.”
One of her top jobs is to control inflation. Everyone with a brain saw it coming in the wake of the Biden administration’s reckless spending. But she didn’t, or pretended that she didn’t, and now Americans are paying top prices for gas, groceries and all the necessities of life. Yellen hasn’t stepped down. She hasn’t even really apologized.
Our ruling class keeps failing, and somehow it’s supposed to be because of Americans’ moral failings.
But if Americans have a moral failing, it’s in tolerating rule by the cast of clowns in charge of our institutions.
Could also be said for Australia
The remaining Royal Family should invite him to something once every eighteen months or so for that exact purpose. By now, even that low-wattage ranga would have realised that Sparkles McBolt-ons’ magic box just wasn’t worth the years of pouty, woke showboating that followed.
In all likelihood, he ‘looked woeful’ because it finally dawned on him that he could have still been the popular and dapper royal playboy, cheerfully allowing random lingerie models across the globe to touch his ginger wang well into his 50s with no comeuppance.
Bushmills is always good value.
Even the Black Bush, despite its reputation as a fight starter.
I think you need to read Moran’s cartoon by noting that its a child at the table.
He has a personal chip on his shoulder regarding the damage done to children over the past couple of years, and a backgroud of his personal circumstances may give some context. See an interview of him here with GBNews: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftAPwGCpiUM 10:00 onwards.
Despite the above, it is still a bit bent, imho.

“Beer is now cheaper than gas. Drink, don’t drive”.
we’ve reached the “we’re not even going to pretend to prove this works, just do as you’re told” stage of the pandemic
Further to the lie that is gender ideology. “Lia” Thomas, a sinister, ugly, male cheat, who likes to dangle his penis in front of young women, was interviewed the other day and HE said that any “cis” woman (that is a biological woman like myself) who protests against him swimming against a “transwoman” yet still insists that they care about “trans” rights and that they respect “Lia”, is still a bigot and a transphobe. So what we have here is more gaslighting where we’re being forced to accept the all or nothing situation. So here is my default position, anyone who goes down the road of “acceptance” is giving credence to a sinister ideology.
Over the last five to seven years, people who have given an inch in this “debate” are now being told that they have to accept the whole sandwich where a male with a penis is a woman and this MALE has the right to not only compete against women but also to frequent women’s private spaces. NO. You can’t change your sex, period. As Matt Walsh and others say, and which has been my position from day one, do not buy into this ideology, any tacit acknowledgement will be used to further their sinister ideology. Almost all trans, bar a tiny percentage, are mentally ill people or male perverts or autogynephiles. It is the ultimate misogyny. And, if someone wants to call me a “transphobe”, then I’m one proud happy transphobe.
Here’s a little scenario, in this day and age of “self ID”….and before anyone says that this won’t happen, they said the same about women’s sport.
Parents decide to use a babysitting service. They book a babysitter and they are told that the babysitter’s name is a middle aged woman by the name of “Kylie”. Kylie arrives and the parents are quite taken aback because “Kylie”, whilst middle aged, is clearly a male, with a stubble and an Adam’s apple, yet Kylie is wearing a dress, he insists his name is Kylie and he insists he’s a woman.
Question: Do you think the parents will leave their children with “Kylie”?
I don’t think so.

There’s a cabal in WA between the Lizard People and RAC which is building a network of car chargers all up and down the coast, so that the nobs can plug in and drink a latte or seven while the buzz box tops up.

Not as obnoxious as the windfarms which said Lizard Persons are spiking the remote and regional landscape with, but still a bit of a wank.

It is immediately apparent that this person has never been involved in a punch on for the last roast chook at Woollies at lunchtime on a Saturday.
It is human instinct, initially developed for men to protect the person responsible for the furthering of their dynasty from interference by interlopers. It really is that simple, but manners also plays a part.
The patriarchy and history of gender roles meant – particularly in the ‘history’ context – that the smaller, weaker, softer of the species (but the one responsible for the abovementioned furthering) would not be sent out in the snow to hunt, kill, and bring back to eat large animals with fangs and claws which may not have wanted to be hunted and killed and eaten.
Rather, she would be kept warm and clothed and protected from such things. In other words, she would be prized.
Alternatively, this intersectional writer could only be referring to the multitude of caliphs and sultans through history that kept harems of slave women as their actual property, and who were to be filled in dependent on the said caliph’s daily schedule.

He has actually done nothing to help this, but the winding back of Covid restrictions would account for almost all of this. And the fact that Covid restrictions have been mostly state based, these it is the states that have created (well, stopped strangling) employment.

The net-zero Dark Ages: Democrats’ war on the poor
The Dark Ages were accompanied by darkness (obviously), cold, poverty, starvation, plague and depredation. The world became smaller and feudal. Infrastructure collapsed. Everyone suffered, but especially the poor. It’s pretty much what the Democrats are doing to America today.
Let’s start with the “Dark New Deal.” The North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC), which is overseen by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), made clear a few days ago that Americans should prepare for unprecedented electric power failures and blackouts this year. A supposed 21st century, “advanced” country that cannot support the predictable energy needs of its nation? Now that is primitive and a colossal failure of government.
The problem is obvious to everyone except the White House and Democratic state governments. Energy policies that precipitously shut down traditional energy sources and rush toward unreliable, unsupported “new” energy sources wreck our economy and society. Suddenly there were blackouts throughout California and the state was forced to import energy from neighboring states because of what the governor called “unreliable solar and wind power.” Yet the state continues to shut down nuclear and fossil fuel plants and rush toward “renewables.”
At the same time, Sacramento pushes one of the most resource-rich and car-dependent states in the country to $7-a-gallon gasoline. The objective, of course, is to force people to stop using fossil fuel-powered cars and buy very expensive electric cars, or just walk or ride bikes, or not travel. The related objective, of course, is to force people to use electric power at home or simply to have hotter homes in the summer and colder homes in the winter. Variations of these plans are copied throughout the country.
The problem is that these plans will never get America to a “net-zero emissions economy” — unless progressives really intend a “net-zero economy,” i.e., complete economic collapse.
The central flaw is that progressives are far too impatient and are willfully ignorant of energy economics. For example, they fail to understand that fossil fuels and nuclear power are “nature’s batteries.” They store the vast amounts of energy that a modern industrial economy and society use, when and where they need it. Conversely, solar and wind are not batteries. They do not always produce energy when and where it’s needed, and they are far from producing enough energy to support America’s needs. And America lacks the batteries to store energy from solar and wind to access it when the sun’s not shining and the wind’s not blowing.
Specifically, to achieve a net-zero economy that operated by today’s standards would require 90 quads of utility-level battery storage capacity — today America has around nine quads. To fully electrify the American economy would require doubling, dramatically upgrading, and “hardening” the electric grid. It requires simply ignoring the limited lifespan and environmental degradation from the mining and use of modern battery materials. And it will take a minimum of 30 years or more to solve these problems.
In the meantime, “net-zero” politics leads to blackouts — net-zero light, net-zero heat, net-zero cooling, net-zero transportation to work or shopping, net-zero vacations, and huge spikes in energy prices. The Dark New Deal means a collapsing, net-zero economy.
In addition, these ideas will destroy America’s national security but have no positive impact on the environment. China, Russia, Iran and North Korea will continue to burn coal and have no intention of going net-zero. We will — we do — beg our enemies for fossil fuels that we could produce ourselves. As America’s economy and ability to defend itself declines, our enemies’ will not. Our way of life may be destroyed long before we reach net-zero emissions.

So the Washington Post’s pooh-poohing of ‘2000 Mules’ gets a little comeuppance in Arizona
Election fraud is real. And there was a lot of it in the 2020 election.
But the mainstream media in general, and the Washington Post in particular, would have you think that angry, Trump-deranged, radical Democrats, steeped in a “by any means necessary” revolutionary ideology, as well as long entrenched machine politics, would never dream of such a thing.
Unfortunately, (for them) yesterday’s news from Arizona tells a different story:
Arizona woman admits guilt in ballot collection scheme
PHOENIX — An Arizona woman accused of illegally collecting early ballots in the 2020 primary election pleaded guilty Thursday in an agreement with state prosecutors that saw the more serious forgery and conspiracy charges dismissed and limited any potential for a lengthy prison sentence.
Guillermina Fuentes, 66, could get probation for running what Arizona attorney general’s office investigators said was a sophisticated operation using her status as a well-known Democratic operative in the border city of San Luis to persuade voters to let her gather and in some cases fill out their ballots.
The fall of Piers Morgan
It’s been over a month since Piers Morgan Uncensored was launched.[i] Rupert Murdoch reportedly signed Morgan to a $63-million three-year deal and left no stone unturned in promoting the show. There were billboards and newspaper advertisements. Morgan appeared on Fox News and on all major shows in the U.K. It was looking promising.
Then Morgan leaped straight into the gutter, pulling a cheap publicity stunt ably supported by his employers. Morgan claimed that Donald Trump had walked out of his “explosive” interview because of his tough questions. He even wrote an exaggerated piece about it in the N.Y. Post.
The claim of the walkout turned out to be a complete falsehood, but the stunt enabled Morgan to gain momentary attention as he rode on Trump’s coattails.
The interview fetched him a respectable 400,000 viewers in the U.K., beating all his competition.
A con man may be able to fool a large number of people the first time, but once the deception is discovered, people seldom return.
That’s because it was invented by male homosexuals five minutes after they won the right to be “married” in Western countries (2017 in Australia).
The same war chest they used to convince normal people to allow the “marriage” of homosexuals (who still lampoon it as a “straight” thing) is now being used to destroy women’s sports by allowing men to compete against girls.
And they’ve convinced most sporting regulators to go along with the new “trans” sports cheats to avoid being labelled bigots.
The only good thing that will come out of it is that normal people are getting to see how ruthless activists use propaganda techniques first trialled by the Nazis in the 1930s to trick them into supporting cheats.
Labor backs coal to fix power crisis
Resources Minister Madeleine King has said coal-fired power generation must step up to help reduce soaring energy prices, as she cast doubt on pulling the so-called “trigger” to force export gas into the domestic market.
Describing the energy price spike as a “perfect storm”, Ms King said big gas producers were doing as much as they could to maximise supply, and it was important that coal fill the void to push energy prices down.
“It’s equally important for the coal industry to resolve its issues to get coal production back online as soon as we can, so it can continue to participate in power generation during this cold snap,” Ms King said in an interview with AFR Weekend.
“There are important issues with coal supply that have to be resolved because a great deal of the power generated for consumers in NSW and Victoria is from coal-fired power stations.”
Ms King’s immediate backing for coal was complemented by her support for the development of more renewables and storage technology over the medium term to achieve Labor’s emissions reduction targets of 43 per cent by 2030 and net-zero by 2050.
“It’s a whole power generation mix to get to a net-zero position,” she said.
“It demonstrates we do need a solid energy plan that is bipartisan, so there is greater investment in new technologies in both storage, renewables and gas supply to firm up the whole system.”
Multiple disruptions
The new Labor minister’s comments follow the chief executive of Australia’s biggest coal-fired generator, Origin Energy’s Frank Calabria, calling on government and industry to fix the problems impeding coal-generated power.
Coal supply for power generation on the east coast has been disrupted by a combination of scheduled shutdowns and unplanned outages.
Rain and floods in NSW and Queensland have disrupted open-cut coal mines.
Skills shortages and worker absenteeism because of COVID-19 are also slowing down coal production and coal-fired power stations.
Minor accidents have also shut down some coal mines, exacerbating a lack of maintenance during COVID-19 lockdowns.

Even at $3500 a night, Australia’s best ski chalets are booked out
Dinner Plain’s Majella Lodge in Victoria costs $3500 a night in the peak ski months of July and August, but that hasn’t stopped the five-bedroom private chalet. which sleeps up to 12 people, booking out in record time.
The same goes for Thredbo’s luxe two-bedroom (with self-contained loft) Rockpool Lodge in NSW, despite the peak-period price tag of $2909 a night.
“After a couple of bad seasons due to COVID, we’re anticipating a bumper year, and we’re off to a strong start,” said Simmone Neumann, co-owner of Alpine-Getaways, which manages Majella along with 60 other rental properties in the upscale village of Dinner Plain, located 12 kilometres from Mount Hotham.
A two-hour drive away at Fall’s Creek, the Astra – often billed as the most exclusive ski accommodation on offer in Australia, and owned by entrepreneurial Sydney-based couple Seumas Dawes and Rosy Seaton – has virtually sold out all 27 of its rooms for July-August at between $900 and $1500 a night, based on twin share.
“We got a lot of frantic calls on Friday,” said Astra’s general manager, Shannon Exelby, adding there was now 40cm of fresh snow. Extensive man-made snow activity is also well underway, with perfect -2 degree temperatures for the past 10 days.
“I’m encouraging people to call us direct as there are a few nights here and there still on offer,” Mr Exelby said. “I’d also urge people to take advantage of the early snow and cheaper nightly rates on offer for the month of June,” he said, adding most resorts, including Fall’s, will officially open on Saturday June 11.
Perisher announced this week it will open early on June 4 due to all the snow.
If you feel like your ski holiday cost more this year, you’re probably right: Search engine Kayak reports that Australian ski resort accommodation prices are up 17 per cent on average on 2019 levels.
The week commencing Monday June 12 remains the cheapest option to book, with an average nightly rate of $383.
Falls Creek recorded the biggest hike, with an average nightly stay rate of $706 over the season, 46 per cent up on 2019 prices; followed by Mount Hotham, with a 32 per cent increase for an $823 average nightly stay.

The proudly Australian puffer jacket turns 100 years old
Just as a major cold snap hits Australia and the first days of winter are upon us, the humble puffer jacket – the first of which was made from hot air balloon fabric and goose down by an Australian – turns 100 years old this year.
Puffer jackets have gone from being widely mocked and only worn by hardcore mountaineers and adventurers, to closet staples donned by everyone from New York City rappers to Sydney investment bankers.
In winter, the puffer jacket (otherwise known as the down jacket) becomes critical for both outdoor activity and everyday style, according to Kathmandu head of product Robert Fry.
The down was the light and fluffy undercoating clustered beneath the feathers of waterfowl, Mr Fry said. The jacket keeps the wearer warm by trapping body heat and preventing its escape.
The higher the “fill power” (fluffiness of the down), the higher the down’s ability to trap more air and provide better warmth. Kathmandu’s down jackets range in fill power from 500 to 800.
A surprise to many, George Finch, an Australian mountaineer, scientist and inventor, popularised the use of down. He used his “eiderdown jacket” as a member of the 1922 British Mount Everest expedition.
Mr Finch wore a down-lined jacket made of bright-green fabric intended for use on a hot air balloon, according to Snowshoe Magazine.
Despite the success wearing the jacket at the world’s highest peak, his version of a puffer jacket did not gain traction in the outdoor adventure wear category in the United States.
It was Eddie Bauer and his namesake brand that designed the Skyliner jacket made from quilted down in 1939, which is credited for the puffer getting wider use.
In the 1940s, Mr Bauer adapted his jacket for the military by creating a flight jacket for the US Air Force.
In the 1970s, Norma Kamali created the “sleeping bag coat”, which was initially made from actual sleeping bags.
There have since been many iterations of the puffer, but it all comes back to Australian ingenuity.

GOODBYE TO COAL? HARDLY
The United States has reduced its carbon dioxide emissions more than any other country, primarily by shifting from coal to natural gas as a source of electricity. Our government has applied considerable pressure to kill America’s coal industry, ostensibly to preserve the Earth’s climate.
But other countries haven’t gotten the memo. Energy expert Robert Bryce explains:
[O]ver the past few weeks, China and India have announced plans to increase their domestic coal production by a combined total of 700 million tons per year. For perspective, US coal production this year will total about 600 million tons.
Adding the 700 million tons of new coal that China and India will be mining to the amount they are now producing leads to some staggering numbers. By the end of next year, China will be producing about 4.4 billion tons of coal per year and India will be mining about 1.2 billion tons. Add those together and you get 5.6 billion tons of coal, which is more than 9 times the amount of coal that will be mined in the U.S. this year.
When it comes to the Earth’s climate, if you believe the global warming models, the U.S. is becoming a relatively minor player.
And coal isn’t going away, because it is plentiful and affordable:
Etymologically it derives from the role of pegboys in the navy. Also, not to be looked up.
Expect there will still be plenty of Halliburton signage around. The Arabs couldn’t dig a hole in the ground, even if they were inclined to.
Fantastic wind up.
He should be in the weird part of you tube by now, looking at giant blackheads or if a gorilla can bench more than a bodybuilder.
Or those awfully cruel Chinese zoos putting lions v tigers in actual fights to the death.
Analyst Marja Petkovic from Energy Synapse said the fact that surging coal and gas prices were behind many of the problems affecting the market at the moment highlighted the need to switch away from the fuels.
No, Ms Petkovic from Failed Neurone Synapse, it highlights the need to stop demonising the brown coal which we have in plentiful supply and which can’t be affected by world prices because it’s far too dangerous to ship it elsewhere. It also highlights the insanity of the fanatical attempts to stop any new coal and gas projects, e.g. fracking bans by Maximum Leader and other totalitarian imbeciles, cheered on by the Green and teal demographics.
The Australian puffer jacket has led to a holocaust for the battery eider ducks in China.

Bern, one of the best pinots I have had was from northeast of Coal River on the Tassie east coast – around Chain of Lagoons, north of Bicheno. There are lots of wine growers around there cashing in on the climate, which, locals told me, is much warmer than the rest of Tassie, largely because of the prevailing warm sea current that originates near the equator.
But let’s face it: most of Australia is one great big mostly as yet unplanted wine harvest.

Former Trump Official Peter Navarro Handcuffed and Put in Leg Irons by FBI, Joe Biden State Police Force
Plus
FBI Placed Peter Navarro in John Hinckley’s Cell after Arrest for Contempt of Congress
The FBI placed former White House economic adviser Peter Navarro in attempted assassin John Hinckley Jr.’s jail cell after they arrested him for being in contempt of Congress.
Federal authorities arrested Navarro on Friday after a grand jury indicted him for contempt of Congress. Navarro told reporters outside the courthouse that the arresting officers put him in Hinckley’s old cell. Hinckley was recently released after serving more than four decades in prison following his failed assassination attempt on former President Ronald Reagan.
Navarro blasted the FBI for waiting to arrest him until he attempted to board a plane.
“Instead of coming to my door, where I live — which by the way is right next to the FBI — instead of calling me and saying, ‘Hey, we need you down in court, we’ve got a warrant for you.’ I would have gladly come,” Navarro said. “What did they do? They intercepted me getting on the plane. They put me in handcuffs. They bring me here. They put me in leg irons.”
He then explained that the arresting officers made it a point to place him in Hinckley’s cell.
“They stick me in a cell — by the way, just a historical note, I was in John Hinckley’s cell. They seemed to think that that was like an important historical note. That’s punitive. What they did to me today violated the Constitution.”
Navarro plans to represent himself on the contempt charges instead of hiring an attorney to do the job for him. He is also suing the January 6 committee in federal court, arguing that the committee is encouraging him to violate executive privilege and Constitutional separation of powers.

Hang on! What RNA?? I reckon its doubtful, but if true it takes the whole shebang to a new level.
https://www.naturalnews.com/2022-05-31-electron-microscope-images-show-carbon-nanotech-aluminum-thulium-in-covid-vaccines.html
A Canadian researcher and ER doctor recently put the Pfizer and Moderna covid-19 vaccines under the microscope to see what they are made of. The electron microscope images show no sign of biological material, not DNA nor the glorified mRNA that the experimental injection was supposed to deliver.
“…X-ray spectroscopy didn’t detect any nitrogen or phosphorus. So, if those complex shapes – that rectangle with all the dots arranged in a grid – were the result of some kind of biological process … then there should be nitrogen and phosphorus there in addition to carbon and oxygen. Because every living thing, whether it’s a virus, plant or animal, is made up of proteins that contain nitrogen, carbon, oxygen, and phosphorus,” he said.
Dr. Nagase found some very interesting shapes inside the contents of the so-called vaccines. One of the non-biological life forms (in the Moderna vaccine) contained neurotoxic aluminum and looked like a “ball with the legs growing out of it.” The object was not a biological contaminant because it did not contain nitrogen or phosphorous. “So, this thing that’s growing is non-biological,” Nagase concluded.
He found no mRNA in the samples, either. Dr. Nagase asks, “Are countries around the world being given different injections, and we’re being observed to see, ‘well, who dies the fastest, who gets the sickest or what kind of illnesses result’ from experimental ingredients being indiscriminately and without disclosure being given to people?”
The indigenous Australians didn’t have a sea faring culture did they?

European Union will drop its mask mandate for flights and airports
When is Australia going to do the Same?
The E.U.’s Aviation Safety Agency recommends people who are coughing to mask to reassure fellow travelers
A multicountry mask mandate for European airplanes and airports will lift next week, the European Union Aviation Safety Agency and the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control announced Wednesday. The policy begins Monday.
“From next week, face masks will no longer need to be mandatory in air travel in all cases, broadly aligning with the changing
requirements of national authorities across Europe for public transport,” EASA executive director Patrick Ky said in a news release.
“For passengers and aircrews, this is a big step forward in the normalisation of air travel.”
Many European countries have eased their coronavirus restrictions in recent months. Greece and Italy recently scrapped proof-of-vaccination requirements, along with other rules, while nearby destinations such as the United Kingdom and Norway have dropped their pandemic travel rules entirely.
The news follows a similar change in the United States, after a Florida judge struck down the federal mask mandate for planes and other public transportation settings last month, earning mixed reaction from travelers. Some were elated by the decision, while it has been a source of anxiety for others. The Justice Department said it would appeal the ruling.

I think it was only a week ago when I posted about the whales following indig song-lines from the Antarctic to ‘Straya, and how this was a precursor to controlling offshore pursuits (gas exploration, commercial and recreational fishing)
The cowards at Sky News Australia succumbed to activists and got rid of Alan Jones. Why? Because AJ spoke the truth on Covid, masks and lockdowns….and also because AJ speaks for the “quiet Australian”. Can’t have that. We mustn’t be heard. The geniuses at Sky (sarcasm alert) thought they could replace Jones with Piers Morgan. Morgan, on everything, is a hypocrite. The spiel for his new gig was “free speech”…..except that Morgan doesn’t practice what he preaches. Morgan has a long history denouncing others for their politically incorrect speech.
Anyway, back to AJ. You can find him on adh.tv which also hosts a number of other people…it is both a website and broadcaster. Latham is writing for it too. Apparently you can download the adh app, it’s rather popular at the moment which is completely unsurprising. People out there are desperate for truth tellers. Jones’ take on the election is, as always, 100% accurate, both his predictions before the election when he predicted a big Liberal loss and his analysis since the election….has been superb.
Can’t easily detect N and P with X-rays, they’re too light. That just means they’re below the limit of detection, which you can see here for classic XRF. There isn’t much active material in a vaccine since you only want just enough to excite the immune system. As for aluminium and thulium, the adjuvant is whatever amps up the response. Nothing especially wrong with either of those in the quantities used.
The problem with the Covid vaccine is the Alpha spike protein, not the other stuff which is common in vaccines. This one is from today:
FDA: Novavax COVID Vaccine Effective But Heart Inflammation Concern (3 Jun)
All of them cause it because all of them use the same spike assembly, either directly or in situ synthesized via mRNA.
Yes, I remembered that when I saw the story.
This is the beginning of a long legal road though. Like Sri Lankan people, the indigenous protagonists have been waiting for a change of government to try their luck.

FINALLY A PETITION JC CAN REALLY GET BEHIND…
Our proposed short sell ban would be structured as follows:
An immediate ban on the short selling of stocks in the Financial Sector;
The unwinding of existing short sell positions on such stock; and,
Careful monitoring of the market to assess if further intervention is warranted.
Our goal is to protect mum and dad investors, retirees and self managed super funds from having their wealth erased and their quality of life reduced by this hostile trading method.
Thanks, Cassie!
No wonder I haven’t read a word about it in the MSM. It looks like a very rare and useful address for political news and opinion that isn’t polluted with media talking points.
I should also add that AJ is in top form. I would urge every one to support the website and channel. AJ broadcasts Monday to Thursday.
First three episodes of the new series of “The Boys” have just appeared for anyone that is interested.
Jock at 11:45.
Yes, JC and I have tried to fathom the mystery of the Atlassian share price, which is not supported by revenues, even if those revenues were profitable, which they are not.
$2 bn revenue turning a $500 meg loss. Let’s say they magically turn that into a $500 meg profit. That still gives a P/E which is off the scale.
I think the answer lies in stock liquidity. The two dweebs own 90% between them. Some insto holds another 5%. Probably another 4.5% tightly held by Scotty and Mike’s old school tie brigade. That means the price is being driven by FOMO idiots who probably hold two things in their portfolio – Atlassian and Bitcoin.
And this is no blossoming start-up. Been going since 2002 and listed since 2014. That is Jurassic period in the world of software companies.
Note that Farquhar talks about growth to 25,000 employees. Not a word about profitability.
“No wonder I haven’t read a word about it in the MSM. It looks like a very rare and useful address for political news and opinion that isn’t polluted with media talking points.”
It is….and even Albanese and Plibersek appeared on the channel prior to the election. AJ and Plibersek are old friends. Albanese was scolded by Queen Grace Tame for appearing on the site.
However the left, I think, are already trying to demonise the site and channel as “far-right”….LOL.
Oh and speaking of the left trying to shut down alternative opinions. A scurrilous, far-left, Antifa supporting Australian journalist by the name of Jason Wilson (ex-The Malcolm Guardian), who now resides in Portland Oregon (how unsurprising), is writing a hit piece on Andy Ngo for a scurrilous organisation by the name of the SPLC . He’s trying to smear Andy Ngo (an Asian American) and other right-wing and conservative voices as “waaaacist”, “far-right” and “hateful”. The progressive left will stop at nothing to silence and destroy their ideological opponents.
Just had a look.
If … if … Atlassian has a $1 billion profit turnaround in profitability from a $500 meg loss to a $500 meg profit (as if), their P/E is a tad under 100.
Madness.
He is also on Talk TV which is the Murdoch kiddies’ attempt to compete with GB News. It’s a wet tealish sort of channel. They even admit it.
TalkTV’s Tom Newton Dunn: ‘We’re not right wing, we are going to surprise you’ (22 Apr)
Piers is the sort of “righty” that the Murdoch kiddies and Paul Ryan want. And they want Sky Oz to be like Talk TV, with climate yodeling and centre-left wetness. Unfortunately for them every time they try this the righty viewers stop watching. They did it with Wallace and Brazile on Fox. It doesn’t work.
This is also exactly why the Libs and Nats are faceplanting so badly: there is no audience for centre-left stuff in a right wing organization. You end up with no voters/no viewers since you’ve alienated your base and the Left will never go near you anyway, no matter what they promised you they’d do.
“I’m absolutely sure that if people knew, they would care … so if people find out what’s happening, and they do care, maybe something can be done about it.”
Didn’t Jacinta Price contact the organisers of the Brittany/Grace auto da fe campaign and ask for violence against indigenous women to be one of the problems to be tackled? And didn’t they tell her to get lost? (Wonder why….)
Cassie, my big problem with AJ is his “Lock the Gate” bullshit.
Very Tealy.

Maybe it’s tapping into a “retro” fashion – back to those heady “dot-com boom” days in the late ’90’s.
