What exactly is the protocol for dealing with a former Australian PM:
• cast out by his own party;
• nominally from the opposite side of politics from the current PM;
• appearing out of nowhere;
• with no official function;
• love-bombing both the newly lame-duck President and Unknown Albanese;
• while applying another layer of shite to the immediate former PM.

Did you meet Eddy Knott there?
Depends on the questions, the context they were asking in etc.
If the question is “Do you support Roe v Wade, including the viability prohibition?”, then around 80% say yes after having that prohibition explained. MSM drops the condition and says “80% support Roe!”. This is what Monty quoted and I have seen it quoted before. It’s highly misleading. Politi-farce would fact check it “missing context” if they were non-partisan and honest (they are neither).
But that doesn’t matter anyway – SCOTUS only said that Roe was incorrect and reversed it, which means it goes back to the states to decide, as per pre Roe.
It’s not the case that “conservative” judges “removed” a right, it’s that “progressive” judges created one that they shouldn’t have – they had faulty reasoning, SCOTUS has now decided (which aligns with the view of many legal scholars both before and after this ruling – even “progressive” ones).
It’s always been that way Monty – whichever party has the state legislature under their control decides where the boundaries are every decade after the census. Dems are just upset because the states gaining house seats are the republican controlled ones. As I said, have a look at the maps and proposed maps – there is NO WAY that Dem proposed maps are defensible, but Repub ones most certainly are. Both favour the incumbent party, as has always been the case. I agree it’s hardly fair, but it is what it is, and it hasn’t changed for decades. The number of “purple” districts has been on a downward trajectory for decades because of this arrangement, which may be regrettable. Still, there is hardly an “independent” way to do it – most government institutions are heavily left-leaning, and who knows what that might do if they control of the boundaries.
The 2nd amendment case is similar: Dems seem to think it will mean carnage, despite the fact that it only really said “you can’t have ‘may issue’, you can only have ‘shall issue’”, and that any conditions must be objective. It’s hardly unreasonable to ask for an objective set of rules and due process before removing someone’s enumerated rights. Until this decision, if you lived in a high crime area in NY, you couldn’t get a concealed carry permit for self defense! Of course, the mayor had a squad of police officers, and the rich and powerful had “security guards” that were permitted to carry weapons, but the peons weren’t allowed to exercise their 2nd amendment right to “own and bear arms”. For around half of states, they are now “constitutional carry” anyway, and other than Dem strongholds like CA, NY and MI, the rest are ‘will issue’, so this ruling only affects the places with the strictest gun control – which tend to be the places with the most and worst “mass shooting” events.
Absolutely! Only mustard will do.
Our standard order was “Barkeep, another bottle of your cheapest leg opener thanks”. Food was an extravagance by that stage.

One mans glitch is another mans bug, is another mans feature. It’s all perspective, innit? The only one who really knows is the software dude that wrote it.

• nominally from the opposite side of politics from the current PM;
• appearing out of nowhere;
• with no official function;
• love-bombing both the newly lame-duck President and Unknown Albanese;

There are some evils in federalism, no doubt, but there are also manifold evils in anti-federalism, and permanent partisan gerrymandering is a major one.
“I wonder what the reaction would be of so-called “progressives”…”
It changes – always does.
There is video of Bill Clinton saying abortion should be “safe, legal and rare”. That is the compromise that ruled for many decades until the “progressives” went bat-shit crazy -so some time in the last 20 odd years or so, maybe even 30.
Elon Musk’s twitter meme of political standing for a “centre-left” person is apropos – without changing their views in the slightest, they are now “alt-right” or “far right”, purely because the left moved so far away from them. These are the ones that now have more in common with the right, and are the reason (well, one of many) the Dems will lose in the midterms come November. That is assuming there is not another “unfortunate” lock-down and the associated voting rule changes that “just happen” to make “widespread democracy enhancement” the thing to do (again). “2000 Mules”, despite not being promoted much, has opened a lot of eyes, so I don’t think they could get away with such shenanigans again, but I have no doubt they are more than prepared to try it on.

I think part of the hope (and what is working predictably on the left) is that people will believe it as soon as they see it in the MSM. Problem is that the MSM is no longer trusted, and no one is watching the opera bouffe.
The only people they are convincing are the ones that didn’t need convincing.

Crossbenchers face a bucketing over staff entitlements
JACK THE INSIDER
As the newbie parliamentarians commence their induction, the Teal crossbenchers have assembled disappointed that palm leaves have not been strewn across parliamentary pathways with teeming crowds gathering to cheer them on.
Welcome to reality, guys.
The first hint of trouble in electoral paradise has come over staffing levels. In a nutshell, the government says less, the crossbenchers want more. All in times where the bureaucracy is facing cuts to staff, salary rises below inflation and austerity all around.
Why do crossbenchers need more staff? Do they want better Christmas parties? A little more variety with their Secret Santas? I mean, three more staff and they’d have their own cricket teams.
Their argument goes that they need more support than backbenchers, more advice on legislation, more this and more that. More chairs in the office certainly. Perhaps a coffee machine, a pizza oven and would it kill you to spread around a few Pilates mats?
It’s not just the Teals.
The crossbenchers generally are up in arms. There’s even been talk of a strike in the Senate. Once certain senators and senators-elect realised how churlish that sounded, talk of industrial action has been replaced with more moderate noises of a ‘go slow.’
If there was a go slow in the Senate, how would the rest of Australia know? How could we tell the difference? It’d be like the old cartoon announcing the piano tuners’ strike had dragged on into its seventh year, in that we would have a vague sense that something wasn’t working quite to its optimum, but it didn’t matter much anyway.
With each new parliament, staffing levels are reviewed with the allocation of support staff for MPs at the discretion of the prime minister.
In 2019, Prime Minister Scott Morrison determined that crossbench senators and MHRs should have four electoral staff and four personal staff or advisers, eight in total.
Prime Minister Albanese appeared perplexed with these arrangements, telling ABC Radio, “I didn’t know, and I can’t find any great record of any publicity” for the four plus four arrangements.
The Morrison allocation gave crossbenchers twice the staff of the humble party-affiliated backbencher.
To put a rough figure on the cost of this, junior electorate officers earn around $56,000. More senior officers earn up to $90,000. Salaries for personal staff in non-government offices vary but a figure of $100,000 per annum is well within the ballpark.
Thus, in the past three years, each crossbench MP carried around with them like luggage almost a million dollars in staff salaries, excluding their own and that’s not counting the myriad other outgoings in entitlements, expenses, rent on electoral offices et cetera.
Genteel ‘inducement’
As a casual cynic, the thought occurs that these arrangements were possibly put in place in 2019 by a government with a shaky majority in the Lower House and a hellish path to getting legislation through in the Senate. Bribery is an ugly term. I prefer inducement. It has a much nicer ring to it. More genteel. More befitting of the august surrounds of the federal parliament.
Likewise, it might just be possible that some of our freshly elected crossbenchers might have noted the arrangements in place for the old parliament and presumed they would remain so for the foreseeable. Were promises made that now must be unmade?
Senators Jacqui Lambie, Pauline Hanson and Malcolm Roberts with senators-elect Tammy Tyrell (JLN) and David Pocock (Teal independent) issued a joint statement declaring they were “deeply disappointed.”
“This is also a direct attack on the people of Australia who decided to put their trust in independents and minor parties to represent them federally, by withdrawing the resources we need to advocate for them in the parliament,” the statement, in part read.
The member-elect for Kooyong, Monique Ryan was said to be similarly disappointed.
“After coming to power, Prime Minister Albanese stated that he wanted to work cooperatively with crossbench MPs to ensure they were able to contribute fully to the parliament’s deliberations and operations,” Ryan said.
“It’s disappointing that his first act towards the crossbench is utterly at odds with that statement.”
So much disappointment.
With the newbies in mind, let me explain to the crossbenchers what the Australian people expect of them. Now that you’ve made your way into the parliament, we really don’t like you anymore. We don’t want you to be surrounded by a small platoon of yes people. We don’t want you to be comfortable. If we had our way, you’d be working out of a cave where you’d have to fight your way past the sabre-toothed tiger and the giant wombat to get to the chamber.
We’re not even sure you should have seats in your offices. Not comfy ones anyway. Maybe scatter around a few upturned KFC buckets.
And if you threaten some sort of work-to-rule conditions, some form of industrial action in the Upper House driven by a bloated sense of entitlement, I can only say that you’re a referendum away from working at home permanently in that little nook in the corner of your garage with no staff and a desultory footy tipping competition. Does the word mono-cameral mean anything to you? Have one of your staff Google it.
Overall, if you bleat about what are very generous terms of employment, we’re going to hate you even more.
Now go sit on your bucket and get on with it.

STATES RIGHTS YAWL
Jesus Christ these talking points are getting more lame every day.
It’s actually from the Tenth Amendment of the US Bill of Rights.
Please don’t bother m0nty-fa with Constitutional facts, for him it’s all about the feeeeeelzzz.
I don’t disagree that states rights are a thing… except when they get in the way of the five wingnuts, when they suddenly aren’t a thing worth mentioning any more.
Sensible that they used Trump and Melania as the passengers to show how the whole vehicle sits around and protects them.
If it was Biden they would have to show him licking the window and counting out the cows as they go by, and Jill would be sunk deep into her seat with a staring straight ahead with an annoyed expression and large stiff drink.
If it was the Obamas then the car would be listing pretty severely to one side, he would have been sitting pressed as close and invisible to one door as his empty insides would allow, and his hulking wife cramped in a space meant for four people scowling such that it melts everything her eyes settle on.

Two survivors of the Holocaust settled in the country town where I grew up, and raised a family. Could their children claim “intergenerational trauma?”
5.?Conclusion
To conclude, the available evidence suggests that both parent and child characteristics and their interaction contribute to the vulnerability and to the development of symptoms in the HSO group. Holocaust survivor mothers have been observed to be more influential for the mental well-being of their offspring than fathers, and having two survivor parents resulted in even higher mental health problems. This is confirmed by studies of intergenerational effects with regard to parental PTSD and maternal age during the Holocaust. Those studies showed strong evidence for the effect on cortisol metabolism modification and epigenetics in HSO with survivor mothers. Also, intergenerational effects have been found with regard to cortisol levels. There is some empirical support for a heightened vulnerability for stress in HSO. These results indicate that diagnostic procedures and treatment, but also future theorizing and empirical studies should be multifactorial in trying to delineate the causal factors involved in mental health functioning in intergenerational consequences of war. In this context, it is important to note that, although the current review has predominantly focused on HSO suffering from mental health problems, it is relevant to examine those parents and children who managed to cope, adjust and/or build a healthy life, as this might help unveil factors contributing to resilience. Attention should be paid to these specific psychological and biological factors safeguarding offspring against distress.

. Supermarket run by local family for 26 years facing going bust over rising bills
. Andersons have owned Mapleton IGA and petrol station for nearly three decades
. Electricity company AGL informed them cost would be rising up to 500 per cent
. Monthly power bill would increase from $5,000 to $25,000 per month
. Owner Kel Anderson says they cannot survive paying $200k extra every year
The Andersons, from Mapleton near Queensland’s Sunshine Coast, have owned the town’s IGA and petrol station for 26 years but now face closing after receiving a shocking letter from power supplier AGL.
They were told their regular monthly bill, around $5,000 a month, would be increasing to an astonishing $25,000 – $218,000 more than they had been paying for over 12 months.

Why sanctions hurt the West more than Russia
G7 leaders and the NATO summit are strong in their condemnation of Russia but new sanctions and military assistance won’t end a grinding war that Moscow is funding with help from the West’s actions.
Jennifer Hewett Columnist
And rather than the Russian economy and currency being crippled by continued Western sanctions, soaring prices for oil and gas – including Russian oil and gas – are funding Putin’s war efforts with no loss of revenue. Western estimates are that these exports are earning Russia roughly $US1 billion ($1.4 billion) a day, even more than before.
Rather than Russia, it’s European and US economies showing the more obvious signs of stress from soaring prices and drastic shortages of energy – further pushing up inflation. There’s no apparent exit from this impasse.
Although G7 leaders condemned the “abominable attack” on the shopping mall and warned that indiscriminate attacks on innocent civilians “constitute a war crime”, their rhetorical response is limited to furious agreement that Putin and those responsible will be “held to account”.
According to the G7 leaders’ statement, Ukraine will receive financial, humanitarian and military support “for as long as it takes”.
Such unity is likely to extend for as long as it takes to destroy much of Ukraine without defeating Russia’s hold on large chunks of Ukrainian territory. NATO will multiply the number of forces it has on high alert to 300,000 to counter possible Russian incursions beyond Ukraine while channelling more sophisticated military equipment to the Zelensky government and imposing import bans on Russian gold.
Ahead of this week’s meeting of NATO in Madrid, NATO secretary-general Jens Stoltenberg is promising a “a bold strategy for our new security reality”, including a comprehensive assistance package for Ukraine.
But four months on from Russia’s invasion, it’s clear none of this is enough to be decisive. A frustrated Volodymyr Zelensky spends much of his time begging Ukraine’s allies to send far more military equipment far more quickly as war and devastation grind on.
It may not yet be high summer in the northern hemisphere but a bitter winter already looms.
It means a politically sobering lesson in energy economics is behind the desperate attempt of the G7 to test the feasibility of imposing international price caps on Russian oil and gas.
It may not yet be high summer in the northern hemisphere but a bitter winter already looms.
The European Union had agreed last month to a phased-in ban on seaborne Russian oil shipments with a temporary exception for pipeline deliveries to continue. The US has already banned Russian oil imports and the UK insists it will phase them out by the end of this year.
But Russia may pre-empt this by abruptly cutting oil and gas supplies to Europe immediately if a price cap is imposed. It’s already testing the withdrawal of gas supplies from countries like Germany that are still so dependent on it even as they scramble to find alternatives. For now at least, those are very limited. European leaders are anxious about unintended consequences from the US push for a price cap, given the various counterproductive impacts of previous rounds of sanctions.
Under the price-capping scheme, the EU, the UK and the US would limit the availability of shipping and insurance services that underpin the transport of Russian oil. The aim would be to only allow such services if importers accepted a temporary price ceiling.
Global recession
US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has been arguing this is the best way to reduce prices and avoid the possibility of global recession. But to be effective in capping Putin’s oil revenues – while reducing energy costs for consumers – requires an unlikely level of international co-ordination beyond official backing of the G7.
There will be protracted negotiations with countries and companies that import Russian oil, with no guarantee of even formal agreement.
Since the invasion of Ukraine, for example, India and China have greatly increased their imports of Russian oil, which is already being sold to them at heavily discounted prices. They would have to be convinced it would be in their interests to buy oil at what would presumably be an even lower capped price.
The government of Narendra Modi is certainly willing to join groups like the Quad, aimed at countering China’s influence by cementing security ties between India, the US, Japan and Australia. But India has always been far more cautious about alienating Russia – on which it also depends for much of its military hardware – and sceptical of the results of sanctions.
It’s even harder to imagine Xi Jinping would have any strategic interest in undermining last February’s “no-limits friendship” with Putin in order to assist the US and Europe extricate themselves from the distracting economic and political problems posed by Russia. Xi has been resolute in refusing to criticise Russia over Ukraine, instead blaming the US for provoking Russia through NATO’s expansion.
Anthony Albanese, who was among leaders invited to attend the NATO summit, says Russia’s continued atrocities mean Putin is uniting the world against him and Australia will consider more military support for Ukraine.
“What this invasion has done, far from weakening NATO, it has actually strengthened it,” he said. “The more countries that are involved, the stronger the message is of solidarity and unity against any aggression against any member countries.”
Australia’s primary strategic focus will still be the need for solidarity against the increased activities and influence of China in the Indo-Pacific. As part of its outline of strategic priorities for this decade, the NATO summit is expected to describe China as a “systemic challenge”. It’s more likely to become another nasty shock.

Nobody ‘owns’ water; but in NZ, tribal interests trump common law
By PETER WILLIAMS
In the pantheon of perennial philosophical musings, we often ask “is there a god?” or “what is the meaning of life?”
In New Zealand we can now add “who owns the water?”
The country has an abundance of it. Six hundred billion cubic metres of precipitation falls on the country each year, of which only 27 billion are used, including for the massive irrigation schemes driving New Zealand’s economic heartbeat – agriculture and horticulture.
The rest of that water fills our lakes and rivers before flowing to the sea.
British Common Law, adopted here in the 19th Century, holds that freshwater is a public good, like the air we breathe or the sun that warms us. That is still actually the legal position.
But somehow M?ori, the original inhabitants of the country, have convinced themselves and some politicians that they have ownership rights to freshwater.
For instance, on Lake Taupo in the central North Island, local tribe or iwi Ngati Tuwharetoa has a Deed of Settlement with the Crown for government breaches of the Treaty of Waitangi.
(The treaty, signed in 1840, guaranteed Maori chiefs and their iwi undisturbed ownership of their lands, fisheries and treasures. It is well accepted that the Crown did not always honour the treaty and has been paying compensation to various iwi since late last century.)
The Deed for Lake Taupo specifically excludes the actual water. However, it does say Tuwharetoa own the bed of the lake as well as the space occupied by the water.
Therefore, the iwi can charge commercial users like tourist boats and charter fishing operators for the use of the space above the lake bed – which of course is filled with water!
The claim to freshwater ownership lies at the heart of the country’s extreme disquiet about a current government policy, well on its way to becoming law, known as Three Waters.
The policy is actually a fancy name for potable, waste and storm water.
Currently the reticulation, treatment and disposal of such are the responsibility of 67 local councils. Between them they own around NZ$35 billion worth of pipes and treatment plants, many of which need repair or replacement.
The Labour party majority government of Jacinda Ardern plans to take that infrastructure from council control and arrange it into four new regional Water Entities.
But inside the government is a strong-willed and influential Maori caucus.
It has 15 of the governing party’s 65 MPs, six of whom are cabinet ministers.
Local Government Minister Nania Mahuta, the architect of Three Waters, is a leading advocate inside this group.
Therefore, the boundaries of these Water Entities are drawn not on existing local council lines, but around iwi, or M?ori tribal territories.
Apart from the boundaries, the iwi dominated governance structure for each Water Entity is causing great angst among large sectors of the population.
According to a recent poll, 76 per cent of New Zealanders want those who run the Water Entities directly accountable to voters, yet under Mahuta’s convoluted governance scheme, that’s impossible.
The Minister says local councils will continue to “own” the Three Waters infrastructure. Her claim is a fallacy. The councils will still have the shares in the assets of the new Entities, but the control will be with the tribes.
Each Entity will have a Regional Representation Group (RRG) comprising six members from the councils and six appointed by iwi.
All the RRG decisions must pass with a 75 per cent majority.
The RRG will select an Appointment Panel and then that group will choose the Board of Directors for each Water Entity.
Further, the conditions of Board appointments say there must be “general collective competence” and “include members with specific expertise” in what is known as Matauranga Maori, Tikanga Maori and Te Ao Maori – that is M?ori knowledge, the Maori way and the Maori world view – in respect to the delivery of water services.
These attributes are regarded as more important for an entity board position than either engineering or financial skills.
Yet we are told the entities will need to spend over a $100 billion on water infrastructure in the next 30 years.
Under this convoluted governance scheme, water users – the people of New Zealand – will be so far removed from the decision makers they will be rendered powerless.
The fear is that Maori interests could make domestic, industrial and agricultural consumers pay more for the use of water with some of the proceeds going straight to iwi bank accounts.
To make the majority of New Zealanders even more wary, nobody in Government is denying that possibility.

A climate activist who allegedly blocked peak hour traffic and stranded thousands of commuters on one of Sydney’s busiest roads has been arrested again for allegedly breaching her bail conditions.
Mali Cooper, 22, was among 10 people charged on Monday evening after dozens of Blockade Australia protesters hit the streets in the morning to cause chaos for commuters in Sydney’s CBD.
She filmed herself behind the wheel of a car blocking the entrance to the Sydney Harbour Tunnel causing kilometres of gridlock, leading to one furious commuter screaming insults at her.
Cooper appeared in Central Local Court via video link on Tuesday when she was given liberty under strict conditions that she return home near Lismore and abide by a curfew between 10pm and 6am.
On Wednesday though, police were called to Turella Reserve in Earlwood in Sydney’s south over reports of a gathering crowd which scattered when officers arrived.
Minutes later, police stopped a car nearby and found Cooper inside, allegedly breaching her bail conditions by still remaining in Sydney despite the court’s order.
She was arrested on the spot and taken to Surry Hills Police Station for further questioning where she is said to be helping police with their inquiries.
