Er…monty, indigenous leaders are concerned Bandt’s antics will put Elbow’s plans for constitutional recognition and a parliamentary voice, for which he needs popular support, at risk. And so they should be.
The little terror will arrive soon. Time to hide the wifes paint and glitter.
Yep. Know all about that.

PS, it is you and the other effete members of the fascist left who are “triggered”. We more robust conservatives and libertarians just call out hypocritical bullsh1t as we see it. And it is hypocritical bulsh1t, until Bandit (and you) hand over all of your property and possessions to the local indigenous “peoples”, and beg their forgiveness for your trespasses. No hurry, now will do.

A happy story and a message – hammer the shop who says bad luck if your product fails.
Harvey Norman have been impressive with a warranty claim, even if Sharp convection microwave ovens no longer are.
The first one lasted over 10 years; the second around six, and the third two years and 10 months. It was well out of the one year warranty, but we advanced the argument that a warranty should match the $950 price – and Harvey agreed to fix it. Even though we’d moved interstate.
Unfortunately the process then stopped due to lack of parts. For some six weeks this was the state of play, and then when Sharp finally supplied the parts, the appliance couldn’t be repaired. So we were offered a new convection microwave of our choice. When Mrs TE pointed out the one she selected was a lot cheaper than what she paid, she was given a $150 gift card.
A sterling performance which brought a very frustrating experience to a happy conclusion.

Conspiracy theories are not a new phenomenon.
But the internet and, recently, the pandemic have turbocharged the dissemination of misinformation and disinformation.
A disturbing number of people are now getting sucked into online conspiracy cults.
One of the most prominent is QAnon, whose believers think a cabal of Satanic worshipping paedophiles operate a global child sex trafficking ring, and conspired against former U.S. President, Donald Trump.

To date, the government has already spent almost $13 billion on the metro link that will connect Chatswood under the Sydney Harbour through to new stations in the CBD and south-west to Bankstown.
Budget papers show the government expects the project to cost a further $5.1 billion over the coming four years.
But we should totally trust health advice given by the same elite group of deep thinkers in charge.
Because this time its different.

Toad – I haven’t been keeping track of the indicators, but the last couple weeks there’ve been big loops of the jet stream up from the south. That’s what has brought the cold and the snow on the ski areas. It also has tended to push the usual high pressure systems north of where they’ve been lately, which probably has affected the SOI number. (And also caused the energy emergency because lack of wind.) This last couple weeks of decent weather has been very welcome though.

Meanwhile….
Veterans’ Affairs lost $430m after former minister forced to make cuts
Cloe Read
By Cloe Read
June 21, 2022 — 5.20pm
A Coalition member was made to cut more than $430 million from the Department of Veterans’ Affairs to offset money allocated in the budget, as the department struggled under a 50,000-strong compensation claims backlog.
Former veterans’ affairs minister Andrew Gee, who held the portfolio from July 2021 to May, told the Royal Commission into Defence and Veteran Suicide that there was a clear link between the claims backlog and suicide rates within the defence community.
He said the department was struggling under limited staffing and the system was “crying out for reform”.
A report into the department’s compensation claims process found as of December 2021, there were 51,000 claims on hand, with 17,000 of those being processed.
It found the backlog was due to DVA being “unable to keep up with rapidly growing claim demand,” with total claims growing by 48 per cent between June 2019 and July 2021.
Despite the significant backlog and limited staffing for claims processing, Gee said he was made to cut $430 million to offset additional expenditure, which he said was counterintuitive.
“It’s like one step forward and two steps back,” the former minister told the inquiry.
“That was a big issue because that’s got to come from somewhere, and the department doesn’t mandate this, this is government.
“I was quite surprised at the magnitude of that, but I just resolved to cut the cuts and do what we could do to reverse them.”
When counsel assisting Peter Gray QC asked Gee if he was provided additional funding on the basis it “had to be saved by cuts to other areas”, Gee responded that he had no choice.
Gray suggested the $430 million was an “enormous amount” and “the equivalent to the annual cost of running the DVA”, to which Gee agreed.
Gee said it was only after the report into claims processing that the staffing issue came to light.
“I didn’t have any reason to think they didn’t have enough money. It wasn’t an issue that came up until [the claims report],” he said.
Gee said targets to address the almost 60,000-strong claims process “almost became irrelevant”.
“Because what’s the point in, you know, you look at it and you go ‘well, what good are the targets anyways’ because you’re not going to get within a bull’s roar of them,” he said.
Gee also said when he became veterans’ affairs minister, he did not think he was given a specific briefing on defence and veteran suicide, but he was “very aware of those issues”.

Saw the place where Andrew Symonds met his demise today. Covered with flowers and an Aussie flag flying.
Eastbound heading towards the city at Alice River crossing. No way could be suicide, a few deep creeks in the area and the road down the Harveys Range escarpment would be more certain. Driver falling asleep at the wheel or inattention much more likely. He was well on the wrong side and heading towards an embankment when the brakes were jammed on, black tyre marks still there. Also on moonless/cloudy nights can be very dark out that way.
Interestingly enough Government recently spent a mint on long winded roadworks that ended up with a few barriers and new signs but not much else. Seemed like a pointless exercise without including the badly needed widening of 3 old bridges there.

RINO trash quoted on Breitbart
Former chief strategist for the Bush-Cheney 2004 presidential campaign Matthew Dowd said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “The ReidOut” that if Republicans won the majority in the U.S. House and Senate, it would be the end of democracy.
So if enough GOPers are democratically elected to form a majority in Congress it’s the end of democracy. Are these kunts stupid or disingenuous or think the voters are stupid?

One of the worst realisations was if you propose parking outside your Airbnb you just might not be able to, due to the lack of spaces. And you might have to pay for it up to 9pm.
Top Ender, this applies to any airbnb in any world city. You have to check firstly that they provide parking and take no notice of statements that ‘there is street parking available’, because there usually isn’t. You pay a premium for a place with its own proper parking, but it’s the only way in cities if you are touring by car. And some of the so-called parking spots are humdingers, horribly tight for parking an SUV, which is what we had in Britain. We mostly tried for out-of-town cottages with parking (and even there it could turn out to be some impossibly tight area behind the cowshed) where we could drive in to the city centre and use parking stations for day trips. That meant we tended to either cook in-cottage or use take-away purchased in town and heated later, or there’d be the drive home after a city restaurant meal with a fair bit of local wine tasting and a fight (oh no, we never fight!) over who was designated driver this time. Of course it falls to me.
Lucky I am so accommodating. Today in our new conservatory room Hairy put up the black iron gold-embossed E11R plaque capped with a golden Royal Crown, sourced from a redundant Royal buiding. I bought it on impulse passing by an antique shop in Windsor. I’m putting it up mid-way along the wall he said, as he disagrees with me fitting wall pictures designer-style to ‘balance’ with the furniture. His way wins. Man with the drill.

Also they’re like the door staff at a nightclub – useful for preventing anyone undesirable getting access. At a nightclub “undesirable” includes likely to start a punch on, sell drugs, assault a chick etc. In politics “undesirable” is someone who might tell the Minister something the minister doesn’t want to know and then reveal publicly that the minister knew. Any hint that a minister might have to deal with reality means that the conveyor of truth will never see anyone but a succession of staffers.

From Daily Mail below. I did see somebody mention earlier that Wilkinson was a witness but that was first I had heard of it. Does anybody know how long after the event it was before Higgins spoke to Wilkinson ? Clearly it would have been a fair time after Higgins talked about it with Defence Minister Reynolds and a senior female staffer.
Defence counsel is going to have fun with Wilkinson as the conviction of the accused is clearly related to the highlight of her career. Him being acquitted will be bad for her reputation and take the gloss oiff the Logie. Her “evidence” is now biased in the extreme.
I find it incredible she is allowed as a witness and has been allowed to comment on the case so publicly for so long. The Prosecution should have silenced her once it was apparent going to be a witness. That she will be a witness shows how far they are going to convict him. Isnt the evidence from security staff and Defence Minister enough to support her case ?
Going to be a must watch case. However watch out for her trying to give evidence in camera and how ironic that would be.
“Lisa Wilkinson was warned her Logies speech could jeopardise a rape trial but went ahead with it anyway before her decision backfired spectacularly and the judge delayed the case.
Brittany Higgins’ accused rapist Bruce Lehrmann was granted a temporary stay in the ACT Supreme Court on Tuesday after his lawyer said a jury trial would be ‘untenable’ following the reporting of The Project host’s winning speech.
Ms Wilkinson met with the Director of Public Prosecutions Shane Drumgold on June 15 to discuss the evidence that she would give at the trial.
At the end of the meeting, Ms Wilkinson was asked if she had any questions and mentioned she had been nominated for a Logie award, according to a note of the meeting taken by the DPP.
Ms Wilkinson expressed that she did not think she would win because it was organised by a rival network but proceeded to read the speech she intended to give if victorious.
Chief Justice Lucy McCallum told the court the journalist had previously sought advice on whether the speech was appropriate.
However, the DPP stopped her and advised that he had no power to approve or provide advice on the speech.
‘We are not speech editors,’ Mr Drumgold told Ms Wikinson.
Justice McCallum said Ms Wilkinson went ahead with her plans in spite of the warning.
‘Notwithstanding that clear and appropriate warning, upon receiving the award, Ms Wilkinson gave a speech in which she openly referred to and praised the complainant in the present trial,’ she said.
Justice Mc Callum said recent media publicity had prejudged Lehrmann’s right to a fair trial.
‘The case has accordingly attracted a level of attention in the media … that while not unprecedented, is certainly extreme,’ she said.
‘Extensive media reporting of alleged criminal conduct is not mischievous in itself.
‘What is a potential mischief is media reporting of such issues in such a way … it impacts the criminal case.’
Justice McCallum says while jurors can be given directions to mitigate prejudice, this case was different with Wilkinson being a key witness.
No date has been set for the trial, but the judge said she wants the trial to be held this year, with an October listing probably providing enough time for publicity to dissipate.
Earlier, Justice McCallum slammed Ms Wilkinson’s speech, saying the line between an allegation and the finding of guilt was ‘completely obliterated’ by her Logies speech.
Ms Wilkinson won a Logie for her reporting on Ms Higgins’ claim that she was raped in Parliament House.
On Monday, Mr Drumgold said the Logies speech was a ‘regurgitation’ of emotion, making the point that Ms Wilkinson had said similar things previously.
Justice McCallum said, in summary, Ms Wilkinson’s speech amounted to saying: ‘Not only do I believe her, but she’s brave and extraordinary and she’s the most important thing that’s ever happened to me and I’m proud of bringing forward her allegation …
‘We know that the accused has given a recorded interview in which he denies any sexual activity took place,’ she said.
A previous stay application was dismissed by Justice McCallum in April, when she said she wasn’t persuaded directions given to the jury couldn’t alleviate concerns of prejudice against Lehrmann.
Mr Drumgold argued the second application constituted ‘a re-agitation of that order’.
The case was initially due to begin on June 6 but was delayed until June 27 after Lehrmann’s barrister pulled out days before the trial.

Re the Wilkinson story, simply unbelievable. You’re a prosecution witness, the trial is imminent, and you make prejudicial statements against the accused at the Logies. What a farce.

‘Controversial’ is such a beloved scare word on the left. It is meant to make people feel uncomfortable in their opinion, perhaps enough to make emotion cloud their thinking and fall in line.
Surely, what it really means is that an opinion or idea threatens upheaval in the status quo. In the case of the trans athletes the prevailing opinion in society already was that blokes in sheilas’ swimming costumes did not belong in women’s events.
The controversial opinion is to say that they do.
Lefties, always projecting.

I don’t know much about court proceedings but could do the defence have Wilkinson stuck off as a witness because she has a vested interest in promoting the defendant’s guilt?
She is now a hostile witness.

Wilkinson is prima facie guilty of Sub judice contempt having made a public comment on current proceedings. Being a witness for the prosecution aggravates any offence as does the fact the court has already made rulings about media and public commentary resulting in one previous application for a suspension of the hearing. She’s a fucking disgrace and she should at the least be heavily fined. Her testimony is irredeemably tarnished and if allowed to testify would be easy meat (sic) for the defence.

“It could be put, you should put out of your mind everything you think you know about this case,” Drumgold told the court. “The reporting in this matter, factually, is almost without exception wrong … almost without exception, contrary to the evidence that will be put to this courtroom.”
So Higgins had no lapse in memory and didn’t destroy evidence contrary to legal advice?
This Drumgold fella either has the best prosecution ever or is seriously shit talking.

As food prices have been rising over the past few months and Beijing has been feeling the pinch, part of the action taken by the Chinese government has been a massive arrest of corrupt officials, large and small, in the food system. The question is, will this work?
China has been having a systemic shortage of food. On the one hand, large tracts of good land have been polluted by industry or used as industrial land; on the other hand, the Chinese Communist Party’s policy of suppressing food prices has made peasants unwilling to grow food, and a large influx of peasant workers into the cities has left much of the arable land barren. Food has been in short supply forever.

Min your timeline comments concur with what I have also heard.
To date, the government has already spent almost $13 billion on the metro link that will connect Chatswood under the Sydney Harbour through to new stations in the CBD and south-west to Bankstown.
Budget papers show the government expects the project to cost a further $5.1 billion over the coming four years.
And what did the Snowy River Project cost over all those years? Was there ever an initial Project Cost? If there was. I bet that the people just got on with their lives and didn’t much bother about it. However, having said that, I bet that the Project was far better run than the Sydney Light Rail and now the Metro Rail. Gov’ment Project Management with Public Works (now called Infrastructure) is now a lost skill and art.

Marxism says people must starve if the system cannot provide food. IIRC The Soviet Union allowed peasants to grow private plots of vegetables, and the 3% of land devoted to them supplied 30% of the USSRs food production.
OK, our government told us that so it’s probably a lie, but whatever.
Wilkinsons evidence, whatever it may be, IMHO is now compromised by the fact her reputation is so dependent on the outcome. I would think her evidence and how she responds to cross examination might actually be more harmful than helpful to the prosecution. Zero credibility.

Just incredible.

A modest proposal.
Criminal and civil penalties should increase the more educated a person is.
Bogan mongs might get a month in the slot/ $5000 fine but a highly credentialed gender studies/ lawyer should face a year and $100,000 for the same thing.
Since we are apparently dismissing criminal contempt charges based on womens weekly mentions this shouldn’t seem excessive. Just fairer.

ACT Chief Justice Lucy McCallum said her judgement was made “through gritted teeth”, warning the line between allegation and a finding of guilt had been “obliterated”.
“The recent publicity does in my view, change the landscape because of its immediacy, its intensity and its capacity to obliterate the important distinction between an allegation that remains untested at law and and one that has been accepted by a jury giving a true verdict according to the evidence,” she told the court.
Ms Wilkinson is expected to be called as a witness when the trial commences.
The court heard Ms Wilkinson was given a “clear and appropriate” warning during a pretrial conference on June 15 the defence could launch a stay application in the event of increased publicity.

The accused might well have a case for a civil suit against Wilkinson considering she had defamed him very publicly (and she can’t feign ignorance) and, more to the point, the extension of time and added stress that accompanies it.
If he is innocent the wheels of justice will have ground slowly and crushingly enough, but to have the process more protracted by the wilful showboating of a journo in her own element then that is something else.

This is actually quite ridiculous. Was this Wilko tart there when the alleged incident happened? No, I didn’t think so. So, Wilko tart did an interview with the woman alleged to have been raped? Does Wilko tart work for the Police? No, as Wilko tart is a low rent Journo who should now be held in Contempt of Court.

How many people do you get to speak to and how long after the incident is permisable for them to count as a witness. The first chance was when leaving building the next morning as by then must have realised something had happened. In view of the fact Defence Minister Reynolds was not very complimentary towards Higgins her evidence is going to be interesting.
I note no legal experts yet to express an opinion on this but I guess might further prejudice the trial if they come out on either side of this.
“Was this Wilko tart there when the alleged incident happened? No, I didn’t think so.”.

The Israeli Army doesn’t seem to have a problem with female soldiers. Maybe they have a better physique than you might think.
It does actually. They were ordered to accept females in combat roles by the high court. Rather than then claiming that females are equal to men as our stupid military does, they confined their employment to border patrol battalions. These battalions still have an operational role, however major combat operations are not included. Only all male units fight in Gaza or Lebanon.

From what I’ve read, the Isreali Army hasn’t used female soldiers on the front line since before the Yom Kippur war of 1973. There was an incident on the Golan Heights, when the Syrians first attacked. Taken by surprise, there wasn’t time to evacuate female soldiers as the policy called for, and the Syrians gang-raped and murdered them all.

From memory, two of the security guards on duty that night, were interviewed on “Four Corners”, and, from memory, La Higgins gave no indication to them that she wanted the police involved. Happy to be corrected.

Just read at Jo Nova’s that Snowy Hydro is limited in the amount of electricity it can generate in our time of need. It turns out that the rain “that would never fall, and if it did it would not fill the dams” has filled Blowering (the upper part of the current pumped hydro scheme) is so full that it can’t take enough to allow much additional output, while the watercourses downstream are so full that simple hydro generation must be limited to avoid flooding.
The best laid plans of mice, men, managers, arts and law graduates, and environmental wankers have “gang agley”. The “smartest people in the room” really need the assistance of some engineers with actual knowledge of power generation.

I have some confusion over what a witness is in Wilkinsons case.
Did she view the events (any part)?
Was she told directly after the event?
Was she told as part of her ‘journalistic” investigation?
If the bar for evidence is low enough that telling stories to a journo is considered evidence then we may as well do away with courts.

A happy story and a message – hammer the shop who says bad luck if your product fails.
Harvey Norman have been impressive with a warranty claim, even if Sharp convection microwave ovens no longer are.
The first one lasted over 10 years; the second around six, and the third two years and 10 months. It was well out of the one year warranty, but we advanced the argument that a warranty should match the $950 price – and Harvey agreed to fix it. Even though we’d moved interstate.
Unfortunately the process then stopped due to lack of parts. For some six weeks this was the state of play, and then when Sharp finally supplied the parts, the appliance couldn’t be repaired. So we were offered a new convection microwave of our choice. When Mrs TE pointed out the one she selected was a lot cheaper than what she paid, she was given a $150 gift card.
A sterling performance which brought a very frustrating experience to a happy conclusion.

To date, the government has already spent almost $13 billion on the metro link that will connect Chatswood under the Sydney Harbour through to new stations in the CBD and south-west to Bankstown.
Budget papers show the government expects the project to cost a further $5.1 billion over the coming four years.

Top Ender, this applies to any airbnb in any world city. You have to check firstly that they provide parking and take no notice of statements that ‘there is street parking available’, because there usually isn’t. You pay a premium for a place with its own proper parking, but it’s the only way in cities if you are touring by car. And some of the so-called parking spots are humdingers, horribly tight for parking an SUV, which is what we had in Britain. We mostly tried for out-of-town cottages with parking (and even there it could turn out to be some impossibly tight area behind the cowshed) where we could drive in to the city centre and use parking stations for day trips. That meant we tended to either cook in-cottage or use take-away purchased in town and heated later, or there’d be the drive home after a city restaurant meal with a fair bit of local wine tasting and a fight (oh no, we never fight!) over who was designated driver this time. Of course it falls to me.
Lucky I am so accommodating. Today in our new conservatory room Hairy put up the black iron gold-embossed E11R plaque capped with a golden Royal Crown, sourced from a redundant Royal buiding.

In many cases they are just being warehoused till they can be dropped in as candidates – the so called professional politician.
That’s a large Scotch, and a new keyboard you owe me…
It’s too risky for political party’s to get people in their thirties, forties and fifties with their own thoughts and have had a broad life experience. They show up the machine men and women for the incompetents they are.
Did Macron ask “is that a 44 Magnum in your trousers, or are you just happy to see me?”
Big Z is, after all, an accomplished keyboard player.
Honestly, I think this is finally a bridge too far for a lot of people.

Also they’re like the door staff at a nightclub – useful for preventing anyone undesirable getting access. At a nightclub “undesirable” includes likely to start a punch on, sell drugs, assault a chick etc. In politics “undesirable” is someone who might tell the Minister something the minister doesn’t want to know and then reveal publicly that the minister knew. Any hint that a minister might have to deal with reality means that the conveyor of truth will never see anyone but a succession of staffers.

However, the bell curve is skewed markedly to the left.
From Daily Mail below. I did see somebody mention earlier that Wilkinson was a witness but that was first I had heard of it. Does anybody know how long after the event it was before Higgins spoke to Wilkinson ? Clearly it would have been a fair time after Higgins talked about it with Defence Minister Reynolds and a senior female staffer.
Defence counsel is going to have fun with Wilkinson as the conviction of the accused is clearly related to the highlight of her career. Him being acquitted will be bad for her reputation and take the gloss oiff the Logie. Her “evidence” is now biased in the extreme.
I find it incredible she is allowed as a witness and has been allowed to comment on the case so publicly for so long. The Prosecution should have silenced her once it was apparent going to be a witness. That she will be a witness shows how far they are going to convict him. Isnt the evidence from security staff and Defence Minister enough to support her case ?
Going to be a must watch case. However watch out for her trying to give evidence in camera and how ironic that would be.
“Lisa Wilkinson was warned her Logies speech could jeopardise a rape trial but went ahead with it anyway before her decision backfired spectacularly and the judge delayed the case.
Brittany Higgins’ accused rapist Bruce Lehrmann was granted a temporary stay in the ACT Supreme Court on Tuesday after his lawyer said a jury trial would be ‘untenable’ following the reporting of The Project host’s winning speech.
Ms Wilkinson met with the Director of Public Prosecutions Shane Drumgold on June 15 to discuss the evidence that she would give at the trial.
At the end of the meeting, Ms Wilkinson was asked if she had any questions and mentioned she had been nominated for a Logie award, according to a note of the meeting taken by the DPP.
Ms Wilkinson expressed that she did not think she would win because it was organised by a rival network but proceeded to read the speech she intended to give if victorious.
Chief Justice Lucy McCallum told the court the journalist had previously sought advice on whether the speech was appropriate.
However, the DPP stopped her and advised that he had no power to approve or provide advice on the speech.
‘We are not speech editors,’ Mr Drumgold told Ms Wikinson.
Justice McCallum said Ms Wilkinson went ahead with her plans in spite of the warning.
‘Notwithstanding that clear and appropriate warning, upon receiving the award, Ms Wilkinson gave a speech in which she openly referred to and praised the complainant in the present trial,’ she said.
Justice Mc Callum said recent media publicity had prejudged Lehrmann’s right to a fair trial.
‘The case has accordingly attracted a level of attention in the media … that while not unprecedented, is certainly extreme,’ she said.
‘Extensive media reporting of alleged criminal conduct is not mischievous in itself.
‘What is a potential mischief is media reporting of such issues in such a way … it impacts the criminal case.’
Justice McCallum says while jurors can be given directions to mitigate prejudice, this case was different with Wilkinson being a key witness.
No date has been set for the trial, but the judge said she wants the trial to be held this year, with an October listing probably providing enough time for publicity to dissipate.
Earlier, Justice McCallum slammed Ms Wilkinson’s speech, saying the line between an allegation and the finding of guilt was ‘completely obliterated’ by her Logies speech.
Ms Wilkinson won a Logie for her reporting on Ms Higgins’ claim that she was raped in Parliament House.
On Monday, Mr Drumgold said the Logies speech was a ‘regurgitation’ of emotion, making the point that Ms Wilkinson had said similar things previously.
Justice McCallum said, in summary, Ms Wilkinson’s speech amounted to saying: ‘Not only do I believe her, but she’s brave and extraordinary and she’s the most important thing that’s ever happened to me and I’m proud of bringing forward her allegation …
‘We know that the accused has given a recorded interview in which he denies any sexual activity took place,’ she said.
A previous stay application was dismissed by Justice McCallum in April, when she said she wasn’t persuaded directions given to the jury couldn’t alleviate concerns of prejudice against Lehrmann.
Mr Drumgold argued the second application constituted ‘a re-agitation of that order’.
The case was initially due to begin on June 6 but was delayed until June 27 after Lehrmann’s barrister pulled out days before the trial.
Thank you to the non-Western members.
Re the Wilkinson story, simply unbelievable. You’re a prosecution witness, the trial is imminent, and you make prejudicial statements against the accused at the Logies. What a farce.
I don’t know much about court proceedings but could do the defence have Wilkinson stuck off as a witness because she has a vested interest in promoting the defendant’s guilt?

“Bourne1879says:

Thanks for that. What a disgrace. It’s clear that Wilkinson thinks laws are for little people.
‘Controversial’ is such a beloved scare word on the left. It is meant to make people feel uncomfortable in their opinion, perhaps enough to make emotion cloud their thinking and fall in line.
Surely, what it really means is that an opinion or idea threatens upheaval in the status quo. In the case of the trans athletes the prevailing opinion in society already was that blokes in sheilas’ swimming costumes did not belong in women’s events.
The controversial opinion is to say that they do.
Lefties, always projecting.

As mate said about ladies getting a Boeing 747 rating (I know one), if she can fly the plane, give her the rating, it’s not like she’s going to have to reverse parallel park the thing.

The same kind of judgement that she got the springs to her freaking book.
Seriously, what kind of a journalist doesn’t realise what’s at stake and what the court’s expectations are?
How could anyone think they’re going to be getting a informative tome from the silly cow?

She is now a hostile witness.
Wilkinson is prima facie guilty of Sub judice contempt having made a public comment on current proceedings. Being a witness for the prosecution aggravates any offence as does the fact the court has already made rulings about media and public commentary resulting in one previous application for a suspension of the hearing. She’s a fucking disgrace and she should at the least be heavily fined. Her testimony is irredeemably tarnished and if allowed to testify would be easy meat (sic) for the defence.
What the actual fuck!?
Some people really need to be dropped into a volcano.

It sure is- depraved, degenerate and mocking.
So Higgins had no lapse in memory and didn’t destroy evidence contrary to legal advice?

China’s food crisis is exacerbated by world environment, covid-19, floods and corrupt officials…
China Insights
As food prices have been rising over the past few months and Beijing has been feeling the pinch, part of the action taken by the Chinese government has been a massive arrest of corrupt officials, large and small, in the food system. The question is, will this work?
China has been having a systemic shortage of food. On the one hand, large tracts of good land have been polluted by industry or used as industrial land; on the other hand, the Chinese Communist Party’s policy of suppressing food prices has made peasants unwilling to grow food, and a large influx of peasant workers into the cities has left much of the arable land barren. Food has been in short supply forever.
Min your timeline comments concur with what I have also heard.
To date, the government has already spent almost $13 billion on the metro link that will connect Chatswood under the Sydney Harbour through to new stations in the CBD and south-west to Bankstown.
Budget papers show the government expects the project to cost a further $5.1 billion over the coming four years.
And what did the Snowy River Project cost over all those years? Was there ever an initial Project Cost? If there was. I bet that the people just got on with their lives and didn’t much bother about it. However, having said that, I bet that the Project was far better run than the Sydney Light Rail and now the Metro Rail. Gov’ment Project Management with Public Works (now called Infrastructure) is now a lost skill and art.

Reminds me of all those Soviet 5 Year Plans. Then the next 5 Year Plan, then the next 5 Year Plan, zzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Zipster:
Marxism says people must starve if the system cannot provide food. IIRC The Soviet Union allowed peasants to grow private plots of vegetables, and the 3% of land devoted to them supplied 30% of the USSRs food production.
OK, our government told us that so it’s probably a lie, but whatever.
Young Generations Are Now Poorer Than Their Parents And It’s Changing Our Economies
Wilkinsons evidence, whatever it may be, IMHO is now compromised by the fact her reputation is so dependent on the outcome. I would think her evidence and how she responds to cross examination might actually be more harmful than helpful to the prosecution. Zero credibility.
Would have liked to see judge call her to Canberra to explain herself.
Just incredible.
A modest proposal.
Criminal and civil penalties should increase the more educated a person is.
Bogan mongs might get a month in the slot/ $5000 fine but a highly credentialed gender studies/ lawyer should face a year and $100,000 for the same thing.
Since we are apparently dismissing criminal contempt charges based on womens weekly mentions this shouldn’t seem excessive. Just fairer.
Now that would have been worth the price of admission. Particularly in view of instructions given by the DPP.
preposterous, something like that would cripple Bunnings
it’s a woman
So how is it females can join the infantry, when their much less capable physique in battle would get them seriously maimed?
The Israeli Army doesn’t seem to have a problem with female soldiers. Maybe they have a better physique than you might think.
that was clear when she hooked up with the pirate.
The defense can demolish Wilkinson in court over this.. so she’s become a lame duck, really.
The accused might well have a case for a civil suit against Wilkinson considering she had defamed him very publicly (and she can’t feign ignorance) and, more to the point, the extension of time and added stress that accompanies it.
If he is innocent the wheels of justice will have ground slowly and crushingly enough, but to have the process more protracted by the wilful showboating of a journo in her own element then that is something else.

This is actually quite ridiculous. Was this Wilko tart there when the alleged incident happened? No, I didn’t think so. So, Wilko tart did an interview with the woman alleged to have been raped? Does Wilko tart work for the Police? No, as Wilko tart is a low rent Journo who should now be held in Contempt of Court. Wilko tart only has hearsay “evidence” which is not evidence in a Court of Law. Only in a Kangaroo Court. Case closed by the Wilko tart. Be off with you woman……………………

They changed the rules, now no more frontline service in certain cases, not quite the full bottle on this but you can look it up.
How many people do you get to speak to and how long after the incident is permisable for them to count as a witness. The first chance was when leaving building the next morning as by then must have realised something had happened. In view of the fact Defence Minister Reynolds was not very complimentary towards Higgins her evidence is going to be interesting.
I note no legal experts yet to express an opinion on this but I guess might further prejudice the trial if they come out on either side of this.
“Was this Wilko tart there when the alleged incident happened? No, I didn’t think so.”.
You have to wonder if Wilkinson is deliberately trying to avoid being cross examined in the witness box and what she just did seemed like her least worst option?
youse don’t get it
your law doesn’t apply anymore
expecially youse lawyers … dumbarses
It does actually. They were ordered to accept females in combat roles by the high court. Rather than then claiming that females are equal to men as our stupid military does, they confined their employment to border patrol battalions. These battalions still have an operational role, however major combat operations are not included. Only all male units fight in Gaza or Lebanon.
From what I’ve read, the Isreali Army hasn’t used female soldiers on the front line since before the Yom Kippur war of 1973. There was an incident on the Golan Heights, when the Syrians first attacked. Taken by surprise, there wasn’t time to evacuate female soldiers as the policy called for, and the Syrians gang-raped and murdered them all.

Just read at Jo Nova’s that Snowy Hydro is limited in the amount of electricity it can generate in our time of need. It turns out that the rain “that would never fall, and if it did it would not fill the dams” has filled Blowering (the upper part of the current pumped hydro scheme) is so full that it can’t take enough to allow much additional output, while the watercourses downstream are so full that simple hydro generation must be limited to avoid flooding.
The best laid plans of mice, men, managers, arts and law graduates, and environmental wankers have “gang agley”. The “smartest people in the room” really need the assistance of some engineers with actual knowledge of power generation.
I have some confusion over what a witness is in Wilkinsons case.
Did she view the events (any part)?
Was she told directly after the event?
Was she told as part of her ‘journalistic” investigation?
If the bar for evidence is low enough that telling stories to a journo is considered evidence then we may as well do away with courts.
Boambee, that is chortling material.
