“Anthony Albanese hints at permanent visa for Tamil family as Biloela community celebrate their return”
And so it begins. The Sri Lankan leaky boat industry will be thrilled with this announcement. I bet you anything they are preparing postcards and posters saying “now that PM Albo and Labor are in charge, we’re getting the boats ready!”
What a disgrace.
Just 43 degrees outside right now, feels quite cool in comparison.
Dover, it was 33 degrees minimum last night. When I lived in Cairns back in the day I didn’t like air conditioning, used to sleep with a big fan directed straight at me. Always preferred that solution on hot nights. Not here, full air conditioning and it is and thank you very much for Saudi electricity prices which remind me of Cairns circa 1995.

Strike me up as a very big fan of German food on cold winter nights. The Dutch are also quite good for that too, favorite dish for me being Stamppot – lots of thick bacon cooked in butter and lard, throw in a bunch of onions and then some thick diced potatoes. Then you cover with kale and throw on top these really awesome thick pork sausages which you have already browned. The fill up with chicken stock, put on the lid and walk away for a couple of hours. Come back, remove the sausages, get a potato masher and press all the rest down into a big mess, cut up the sausages and mix in together. Winter comfort food does not get better. Serve with great globs of yellow mustard.

Nothing is stopping the Nadesalingam family seeking permanent residency in Australia, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says, following the Tamil asylum seekers’ return to Biloela.
Yup and the vomit worthy pieces I have seen gushing over Albansleazy and horse face this week stated he was going to stop sending their scum back to them.
As for the Coalition they did absolutely nothing to challenge Mordy, they are complicit in the above. Looks like naval resources are about to be stretched to the limit again. A mate tells me when he did Sov Borders business was so brisk the Navy were struggling to crew the boats and the Armidale class were copping such a flogging they were having reliability issues.
Memories of dining with Mme Zulu, in a “brown cafe” in Rotterdam – the waiter was “doing a line” with two seriously pretty young ladies at the next table. “These people come all the way from Australia to eat our Stamppot…”

Adam, Saudi hey. I’ve only been to the peripheral countries around Saudi. The thing I remember was the sand and horrible driving. Not too many rocks just sand, though the UAE on the Indian ocean had rocky areas.
As for the temp, 51 deg. Worked in Central South Australia near Woomera in 1996 where the shade temp was pushing 48 deg at 10am most days. Was regularly making 50 deg but the thermometer may not have been BOM standard. On the work cars I have seen in El Nino years on CQ sites regular 48, 49 deg in December when a NW is blowing. I can take the dry heat but humidity is a killer though, been in 42 deg with 95% humidity in areas near the Lao-Thai border in May before, no air con too. Now that was oppressive.

Sovereignty of Parliament mean anything to you? Fuckwit.
LOL Ed goes both ways. Judiciary is increasingly straying into areas that the Parliament should decide IMHO. Some reason the Legislature & Executive seem to be reluctant to protect their turf. Personally if the esteemed Justices want to stray outside their arcs then they should be subject to election or at minimum some sort of recall type provisions. Might keep them honest. However suppose you get that with a parliament full of lawyers being reluctant to take on their own.
However I digress from the subject at hand, if they (politicians) really wanted to I reckon they would have found an end run around Mordy or appealed it to the higher. They did none of that.
I do. I have the queen.
Albanese….touted his Italian heritage in women’s magazine puff pieces, yet didn’t include his Italian father on his parli amentary citizenship declaration because he’s not legally obliged to as he’s not named on the birth certificate and to be honest and do so would cause him a bit of bother.

“Albanese….touted his Italian heritage in women’s magazine puff pieces, yet didn’t include his Italian father on his parli amentary citizenship declaration because he’s not legally obliged to as he’s not named on the birth certificate and to be honest and do so would cause him a bit of bother.

Albanese touted his Catholicism, during the election campaign he attended Easter Mass with his squeeze in Townsville and he then appeared at his old school, St Mary’s Cathedral School in Sydney’s CBD, and was mobbed by pimply schoolboys. However, when sworn in as PM, he didn’t take the oath on a bible. It was all a media show designed to con a gullible electorate.
Albanese has always touted the fact that he grew up in housing commission, even though his grandfather and uncle were printers. As Mark Latham says, and Latham himself grew up in public housing in Sydney’s west, Albanese didn’t grow up in abject poverty. His mother, more than likely, got public housing due to the fact that she was a single mother. Again, this spiel is all a media show designed to con a gullible electorate. It also plays into his “comrade socialist “I fight Tories” bullshit.
As you say above, these fables tell you all you need to know about him.
Indeed, Wally. The first track alone being a journey into the late sixties and those who consumed way too much lysergic acid.

You’d also think, given the circumstances around how he was conceived, that Albanese would be fundamentally anti-abortion.

You’d also think, given the circumstances around how he was conceived, that Albanese would be fundamentally anti-abortion.
Yes, he should be. But the rest of us would wish otherwise in this one case.
Somebody, over on Michael Smith, did some digging – apparently, Albo’s mum leased a flat in Southampton for several months, where Papa Albo dropped by, between cruises..
The timing of the settlement on the frog sub fiasco looks odd.
We terminated presumably in accordance with either a termination for convenience or default on the part of the frog’s.
Given the contract size you’d expect lawyers and forensic accountants to argue the rights and wrongs for a year or 2 until exhaustion set in and then highest representatives of the 2 parties would meet and come to some compromise.
It looks to me that Albo’s government has directed Defense to settle so they can get on with binging on travel to avoid dealing with domestic issues.
Only other people’s money after all.
I’ve been doing several tracks. Star I remember, and have always liked. Stuka is metallic and interesting and I think I like it quite a bit. Reminds me of some of NASA’s stuff (the band not the space agency). Didn’t like Kowalksi (except for Kate Moss) or Motorhead.
Currently trying a band called the Gorgeous Wrecks that was tossed up by the sidebar. An Irish duo. The vids have numbers in the tens, but so far very good.

Time for scientism, Cats – which of the two young women below would you prefer to be intimate with?
Miss Ellie or
Miss Planet (an unabashed brunette)
Probably correct. The poor perverts have got their wires crossed. The whole business of sexual arousal is intended, by God, mother nature or the blind forces of evolution to be triggered by an adult of the opposite sex in order to produce babies. When the wiring goes wrong, someone gets turned on by an adult of the same sex, or a child, or a three week old corpse, or a sheep, or possibly an old bag smacking his bum while wearing a nazi hat with a swastika on it. The wrong sensory input triggers the sexual arousal. We know it’s the wrong one, because none of the above lead to babies, which is the whole point of sex, seen from the pov of God, mother nature or the blind forces of evolution. So yes, wanting to bugger another bloke or wanting to rape a child are certainly similar. And if you want to do either, even if you restrain yourself from actually doing it, there is something wrong with your brain wiring. We can feel sorry for you, but we can understand those who find you disgusting. And even understand those who want to throw you off the top of a tall building.
Miss Ellie for me. She is the hottest rock chick in human history.

California bees can legally be fish and have the same protections, a court has ruled
“The issue presented here is whether the bumblebee, a terrestrial invertebrate, falls within the definition of fish, as that term is used in the definitions of endangered species in section 2062, threatened species in section 2067, and candidate species (i.e., species being considered for listing as endangered or threatened species) in section 2068 of the Act,” wrote California’s Third District Court of Appeal in its ruling.

I’ve had 53c in Riyadh in the 90’s. Zero humidity and much easier to manage than say Dammam at 38c with humidity off the charts. Gulf humidity is horrific. Worse than Singapore.
Wally – The Killers have a nice bitey flavour, like Franz Ferdinand I think.
I’ve just gone through all 10 of the tracks on that Gorgeous Wrecks album I linked. Very very good. Like a cross between Morcheeba, Garbage and Calexico (if any of that makes sense). Maybe seven out of ten were seriously good, the other three decent album tracks. Released Oct 2021 yet ten or twenty views each. Contrast with The Killers – Bones with 23 million views, which is just as good as those ones.
It’s going to be bloody hard for new groups to break into the big time now. Thirty years ago this Gorgeous Wrecks LP could do as well as Garbage, now they obviously can’t get heard except by a complete accident like now, when I lucked onto them. I’ll bookmark it for a few more listens.

It’s not as though there isn’t a precedent. In 2005, the citizens of Albany, Western Australia, were lobbying the then Liberal government to give 60 Afghan meatworkers a permanent visa so they could stay in the town – the meatworks was chronically short of staff. Within very short order after being granted permanent visas, the last of said Afghans left Albany for Perth.

“But as Beevor points out, the cruelty inflicted on civilians in the Russian civil war had not been experienced in Europe since the wars of religion in the 16th and 17th centuries.
I don’t think that’s quite correct. There were frequent historical massacres of civilians in Europe after the 17th century. The Khmelnytsky massacres of Jews, the ongoing pogroms against Jews in Eastern Europe, the massacres of Christians in the Vendée region of France between 1793 to 1796 are some examples.
Stitching together a common thread-
Early Black Crowes produced by George Drakoulais, inc the seminal album Amorica.
Fourth Primal Scream album, Give Out But Don’t Give Up, saw the hooverin’ scots go to Drakoulais’ studio to record the follow-up to the globe-conquering Screamadelica.
Australian backyard legends You Am I went there too in ’93 (?) for #4 Record, which is patchy- mainly cos they dabbled in pastiche- but a favourite, and a quickly cooling-off followup to the all-loved Hourly, Daily.
Maybe more to come.
In the meantime Bruce- The Scream Team, riffage, backing singers and little else. Works a treat. B-side for the wonks.

Just a thought on Albo’s Italian heritage.
Why wasn’t it pushed harder?
Well, maybe it doesn’t exist.
How many housos could afford a cruise and a lengthy stopover in Brighton back in the ’50’s?
Maybe Elbow’s mum was already pregnant before she went cruising, and the cruise was bought and paid for to get her out of the way and avoid embarrassment.
Not suggesting he is Frank Packer’s love-child, but I wonder if there isn’t another layer to the story.
In the early 1960’s, but, yes I take your point.
Albo’s Italian ‘eritage
Of which there would be none. If he had any, he wouldn’t be the tacky, tasteless imbecile that he is.
For instance, has anyone ever, seen him clad in a Levi’s jacket? Or a suit that didn’t look like it was fished out the stinkiest back closet of the resistance bookshop on Parramatta Rd Petersham?
The man is an imbecile – and if stating the bleeding obvious makes me a bad personage, then so be it.

So update on the weather in Saudi – today I experienced my first serious sandstorm. Had to keep my mouth closed otherwise it would fill up with grit. Wind was strong enough to push you back or blow you off balance. Air temperature like an oven and then the wind and the very fine sand to go with it. Official forecast today said ‘fine and windy’. Driving home through city traffic and there were sand clouds blowing down the road that looked exactly like what snow does in similarly windy conditions.

Lombards are a kraut tribe. Even their particular dialect is a nasty guttural sound like some poor fuck clearing his throat during a nasty bout of Covid. Italian heritage doesn’t really go any further north than Genoa and coastal France, most which was taken away by the frogs.

Look (as I’ve always maintained) slavery has had a bad rap. The Romans used to wonder up in those woods and round up some “workers” when needed. Best Empire ever without a doubt. They just didn’t make any presentations in terms of what it was all about. Personally, I prefer the old pagan empire because they weren’t given a guilt trip by Christianity. 🙂

All good during procedure until dentist noted slightly discoloured teeth – drumming up possibility,naturally, of further business at later date. I suggested reason was perhaps too frequent use of Betadine gargle.
“Oh” he said nervously, “have you got a sore throat?” “No” I said, “ use Betadine whenever I am in a dubious situation re Covid”.
He was genuinely perplexed. Had no idea of the possibility of deterring infection re iodine wash in throat. I kid you not.
So no inhertid three hundred years of white virtue?
Yeah, consuming Iodine orally isn’t a real good idea, but he stayed in his lane.
He was giving you a heads up.
lol
Does anyone understand how our “welfare” sysyem works? .. reading this story and the headline couple are whinge-ing about “rorters” & OAP not being enuf! .. but then you read on and both are in their late 60s have only been in Oz for 6 years with one on “rorters” and th eother on OAP!
1st .. how do you emigrate to Oz at 60 without the means to support yourself and 2nd how do you qualify for “welfare” pensions? ..
my understanding has always been you have to pass residency requirements and also NOT becomea burden on the “system”..
If memory serves me when I qualified for the full OAP (being a pom) it was because I’ve lived here almost all of my adult life my life (over 45 years) and for a full OAP you had to have a lot more, a bloody lot more, than 6 years residency!
being able to emigrate at over 60 and, apparently, have full access to Oz “welfare”! .. no wonder, we have lotz & lotz of boat-folk in both Indo & Sri Lanka wanting to call Biloela HOME! …..
It’s enuf to make you want to sell the family jewellery .. FFS!

SHOCKING – At least 77K Dead & 7.3 Million injured due to COVID Vaccination across USA, Europe, UK & Australia
Frank Packer did not have mouse ears, though he does have a similar expression to Al Banal.
Could be dyspepsia.
Of more interest is the connection [if any] between Packer’s publishing interests and the Ellery [?] family printing businesses.

So what!!
They haven’t got anything right for 250 years.
You’re comparing male pigs and female pigs, there’s a huge difference in meat quality.
The best retailers and smallgoods makers use only female porkers and baconers.
Boars are best for salami.

There must be something behind that, I can’t see that happening, maybe johanna or some other ex-PS type could shed light on it?
A friend who spent 60 years here, retired to Europe because of cost of living pressures here, (to Slovenia) had to provide evidence of living and paying tax here for a minimum of 35 years before he could access full pension less all other benefits, which is fair enough.
There must be ways to bypass all these regulations, surely, people in the know I suppose?
Bespook opines:
Heard about the housing affordability crisis, BeSpook?
In your considered opinion, would you say that bringing waves of migrants under Family Reunion is helping or hindering the affordability crisis?
Tractor.
Thanks for posting that, Indolent.
Because of the MSM’s incompetence and ideological investment in keeping the public in the dark, some of these new media websites, like The Exposé, are absolutely brilliant (The Exposé is out of money so please donate if you can afford to. PS: Big Tech via Pay Pal is trying to strangle/shut down The Exposé).

What’s with all the livestock destroyed? Presumably authorities declare a disease outbreak which then gives them authoritar to kill them all?
Back in the liddle filth (hawk) era, DSS had a thing called ‘special benefit’ which seemed to be what they would give to people who didn’t actually qualify for the oap.
8 degrees and feels like 4.
Playing comfort meter reading -WTF!
“We should do what they did to Josh.”
Umm, yes, wouldn’t that be nice but that would require a Liberal party with some spine, some gall and some ideological meanness. There’s a lot of garbage in Labor that the Liberals could go after.
Oh and there’s nothing wrong with being “mean”, Labor and the Greens are always mean. The Teals were mean during their campaign, actually they were vicious in how they targeted the various sitting Liberals in electorates like Wentworth, Kooyong, Goldstein and Curtin.
I’m pretty sure the Liberals will continue doing what they do best, being nice, not being mean because they’re feeble and ineffectual. They should be furious at what happened three weeks ago and furious as to how Morrison sold them down the gurgler. But nope, they’ll just carry on being supine, which is what they’re good at. Remember how, after they won in a landslide back in 2013, Abbott quickly appointed Stott-Despoja to a cushy position, and how Abbott was sooooo nice re. Billy Shorten’s mother-in-law, the vile and venal Quentin Bryce, who offered her resignation yet the Liberals were just too nice and refused it. A Liberal government with any spine would have accepted her resignation. Ya reckon Labor would have been so nice if the situation was reversed? I don’t think so.
I remember last year, when the utterly absurd Porter story broke, and I watched the always feeble and ineffectual Morrison face a barrage of media and he was on the backfoot. All he could and should have said is “we can discuss Christian Porter when you’re prepared to discuss Bill Shorten”. But that would take a leader and party with some courage and spine and yes, the willingness to be mean. But no, the Liberal party doesn’t do meanness, instead it cowers in a corner in fear.
The best pig I’ve eaten was wild boar in Germany.
That’s good eatin’
Farmer Gez, glad I’m not on a tractor in the freezing westerly wind today.
Did that bird who was part of the get Porter conspiracy get elected?
The one who was a candidate at the recent election?
Open cab, Gez?

Jo Dyer….no. She ran in Boothby (Nicolle Flint’s old seat). Labor took the seat from the Liberals.
Porter’s legal team should have leaked the whole stigmata horseshit.
They had access to it, but didn’t leak it.
Re the recent immigrants getting the pension – nope, I’ve got nothing.
As others have said, dem’s not da roolz.
Either the story is wrong (always a strong possibility) or they have snuck in through some special ‘act of grace’ category which I’ve not heard of, but I’m no expert on the subject.
“Porter’s legal team should have leaked the whole stigmata horseshit.

Yep.
That article reeks intitlement, shatterzzz .

Wish I was on the tractor.
Putting seed and fert in a grouper and servicing seeding gear.
Grease, mud, cramped spaces and a cold breeze.
What’s the best thing to stop the old hands from cracking in this weather?
Any suggestions welcome.
Further to shatterzzz’s 0834:
I’ve got a feeling in my waters Mizz Nyuon would be delighted if the tax payers
would stop being racist and ease that hidden burden for her.
Dunno.
FDR ruled by Decree for 100 days after Inauguration in 1933.
Among the things he ordered was for the B of Ag. to travel the Country slaughtering farmers hogs and cattle.
By 1937 the Depression hadn’t ended, it had gotten worse.
The Biden Admin. appears to be completing all the [bad] things that FDR couldn’t accomplish.

Pee on them, Gem or soke in diesel.
Our sermon is late today.
It woulda been pretty obvious where the leak originated, goodbye Legal Career.
Thanks rickw.
Hadn’t heard of that.
Bespoke.
Peeing on your hands is a possibility in this withering cold.
I’m very pleased with Frank Packer.
He managed to keep Googlery occupied this morning.
The final series of Ozark was a fizzer.
The final series of Peaky Blinders was a fizzer (actually after the first two series Peaky Blinders wasn’t much chop).
Name a recent series that went out on top?
PS Yes Minister/Yes Prime Minister isn’t recent.

In Paddo yesterday, I saw one of John Ibrahim’s more…ahh…judicially challenged family members.
He was wearing a Harvard jumper.
I’m thinking that could be another chapter in the Underbelly series.
do you really think the ABCLP much less the rest of the MSM would publish?
If ya had Dorper around do what Predro does, Gez
Quite likely the couple from Iraq were part of Abbott’s special intake of c. 12000.
Ask Rabz.
Probably one of those executive short courses.
Farmer Gez,
There is a product I love called MooGoo Udder Cream*. It is one of the best moisturisers I have ever used. It is found in health food stores only and retails at about $15 for 120gms, small enough to keep in your pocket to use as needed during the day.
* I found an unopened tube for $6 at a second-hand store three weeks ago. Seized my chance there, too. I really hate paying full price for anything. It’s almost like a personal affront.
As for the young African lady, as others have noted, the mindset is “government must provide”.
She’s been well acculturated.
