The only thing I watch on Sky is Outsiders and I can’t make it through that most weekends. I second a conservative investigative journalism hour. A crossfire style half hour would be good but rather than using a left-liberal, get a classical liberal and a traditionalist/ post-liberal/ or some such. Erin Molan. I’ve seen the ads but really? Her own show. What has she done? I’m not sure Sky wants to be anything other than a means of safely correlling conservatives for the LNP and corporates.

I think we are at cross purposes Rabz.
There seems to be a view that Jizz-Lane has been done in by perjurers on the make.
This is demonstrably false.
As to the issue that Jeffrey and Jizz-Lane have taken a fall for a wider group of deviates.
I agree absolutely.
But it doesn’t make those two any less guilty.
It appears the USSC vs EPA decision is going to have a deeper effect on the Swamp than initially thought.
In victoristan anyone can sue a CO2 polluter.
I like Outsiders but CL has a fair point. Attacking wokeness is obvious and playing to the gallery. I know my opinion is a minority one here, but Rowan Dean tbh honest drives me spare. He puts on the “Hyper-bole” segment each week, but his editorialising is the most hyperbolic stuff you’ll ever hear. Having said that I agree totally with his repeated rants on lockdown. Rita is whip smart, funny and incisive. She needs a nightly show.
CL’s idea for a 4 Corners style show has great merit. Straight investigative journalism. Most of us could suggest some deserving targets each week.
That’s all it is.
The Pell set-up is yet to be investigated by any journalist or team of journalists.

Is long time lurker showing up before or after Tom Toons?
“Sky is now unwatchable. Constant whining. The same roster of people agreeing with one another. This is becoming a problem on the right: woke as filler. It achieves nothing. Instead of employing five anchors all presenting the same copy, why not invest in a first-class conservative-friendly version of Four Corners that actually does some serious investigative journalism? Erin Molan now has her own show. Two weeks ago, she interviewed Jim Molan.”
I do understand……I agree entirely about “Erin”…..it’s bad, really bad. She isn’t a serious journalist. Sharri was much better and she’ll be back, she’s on maternity leave. I do like Kenny during the week and I love Outsiders. Rowan’s editorial this morning, as Tom said earlier today, was superb. Also, I think Rowan does a better job compering Andrew Bolt than Blot does. I also like Friday’s media programme with Jack Houghton. He’s good.
I would love a conservative version of Four Corners but that takes dosh, lotsa dosh which Sky doesn’t have. Having said that, they have produced some good hourly documentaries, Kenny’s nuclear doco last year was good as was Credlin’s expose on the Teals a few months ago.
Sky has its faults….but imagine life with no Sky? We’d be stuck with their ABC, Nine, Ten and Seven. Sky isn’t perfect but I’ll take it any day given the left-wing progressive dross vomited up by the aforementioned free to air media….oh and the ABC isn’t free, we fund that garbage.
“but Rowan Dean tbh honest drives me spare. “
As I’ve just said, Rowan’s editorial this morning was superb. In fact his editorials over the years, be it on Pell or on what was done to Arndt or the Sunday after the BLM demonstrations back in June 2020 or the media pile on of Alan Jones have always been superb and on the mark.
And yes, I would like to see some investigatory journalism on Pell but also on the Porter affair. There are stories out there there that no journalist or media outlet in this country is willing to touch? Why? But investigatory journalism costs money.

Top Ender,
re: Naval mines, of the ka-blammo type.
Can any of them be blip-blop turned off by remote control, like turning off your own car alarm?
Like do they have a sonic or light pulse ‘back door’ that is only usable by the good guys?
Why? Because I’ve been hearing about the catch-22 that Ukraine is in from mining their own harbour in front of Odessa and how it would take a while for them to remove all the mines if they wanted to let their grain out from port.
On the one hand… for the owner of the mine it would be advantageous to have a quick ‘safe’ switch usable from a safe distance. Onnnn the other hand, any back door could be cracked and remotely exploited by the bad guys, and this is more feasible onsidering mines are expected to be effective in the absence of constant monitoring and servicing, so the enemy could get access to one for extended periods for their investigation.
So I expect mines have no such conveniences, but thought I’d ask someone who might know… at least on the older declassified models anyhow.
My compliments, and thank you. 3/13 was the image I did remember.

Australia’s grid problems could grow as many coal plants have announced plans to retire. While renewables are set to increase, they don’t provide reliable power around the clock. It’s worth noting that Australia has invested heavily in utility-scale lithium-ion batteries to store renewable power. They aren’t helping much.
And here is the rub courtesy of Quadrant Online –
“It would take 696 power reserve storage centres the size of Hornsdale in South Australia to provide just four hours of backup power for the Australian grid—at a cost of $50 billion. Batteries, in other words, are largely useful for regulating voltage and frequency, but are a very expensive means of providing storage on any extended basis.”
Then there are all those new Transmission lines required to link all the new ‘ruinaballs’ to the National Grid. Another $12 billion.
This all madness and unaffordable when compared to building new HELE Electricity Generating Plants (Coal) and Gas Plants which can provide reliability 24/7.

It won’t matter, and the great climate crisis scam will continue. It’s an article of religious faith, for climate non-scientists and governments both, and the irrationale for ruinables. Expect an energy crisis though.
During a visit to Kyiv, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese pledged that his country will provide additional support to Ukraine in its fight against Russia’s full-scale invasion.
Albanese said on July 3 while meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy that the new military assistance will include 14 armored personnel carriers, 20 Bushmaster armored vehicles, and a number of drones, worth a total of about A$100 million (US$68 million).
So, Elbow now thinks that Australia is his country. So much for having a Treaty.

Sometimes abuse of mathematics can be the problem – nonsense can be taught with formulas, no real analysis or sense.

CCB, re Naval mines, of the ka-blammo type….
Modern mines can be programmed to do all sorts of things. For example, only detonate for a certain type of propeller beat; detonate only when X number of ships have gone by, and so on. So yes, you could program them to detonate after a long time has gone by, or to a certain coded signal.
Having said that, naval mines like most weapons depend on your budget and also need surpassing want. You might settle for a very cheap but effective weapon – in other words, bayonets never go out of style.
Coal or nuclear power please.
I’m ropeable that cheap, efficient gas hot water, heating and cooking is being sacrificed to gaia.

more tales of woe from the ABC, this time Canberra renters
bad, bad, bad, worse
For all the blaming of international fossil fuel prices for the current high prices, one inconvenient fact is being buried.
There is no international market for brown coal, the fuel which has traditionally powered Victoria. It’s not subject to international prices and, subject to inflation, it’s as cheap today as it was before Ukraine.
The essential issue here is that they detonated Hazelwood, and are working their way through the brown coal fleet. This also puts more pressure on the gas generators which impacts prices accordingly.
When they say that 100% renewables is the only way to shield us from from the vagaries of international fuel prices, they are not telling the whole story.
The almost perfect story for our times.

Windsor’s new bridge under again.
Money well spent.
It will never flood again.
Pretty sure Brisbane will be short of water around the early years of the next decade. So the Flanerryists will claim victory. After a few years of the next big drought cycle, and nearly a million extra people in SEQ but no new water storage, it is inevitable.
We will get little Somerset’s wall raised a bit, but we won’t get new dams. And I expect we will be doing a pre Olympics crisis and having to rebuild unused Tugan and a second one for desalination, and no doubt water recycling will raise its head again as well. There will be no long term planning, it’s all “unprecedented” crisis stuff, with new water supply only via the most expensive kinds. There will be calls for superfunds to pay for it.
Banks and construction firms are collapsing.
Mmyes, I have full faith this “jobs boom” will last for years. Especially with the inevitable interest rate rises we dodged for over a decade.
It is easy to believe what you see.
True faith is to continue in belief despite what you see.
You know, I can easily imagine Flannery, clad in immaculate white raiment, bestowing blessings upon the faithful – all of whom have their faces upturned and facing him like the mirrors in a solar panel array.

So wait…
The new Windsor bridge has been flooded three times in two years?
Couldn’t it have been built say, 2 – 3 metres higher than where it sits now?
Why not 4 – 5 metres just to be sure?
They could salvage it, built a new one, start using that, fix up the old one (raise the height), have them as a dual carriageway be able to close and fix one or have wide loads etc from time to time.
Nope. Australia loves taxpayer funded gay radio and subsidies to big pharma too much; paying people not to work and giving bonuses to public servants simply for turning up.

No. You need good materials.
Here are some books I would recommend to all economics majors.
Get Price Theory by Landsberg, Intermediate Microeconomics by Hal Varian. I recommend Appleyard and Cobb for International Economics. For macroeconomics, I would get Romer. For game theory, get the primer book by Oxford and for advanced mathematical models get Advanced Industrial Economics by Louis Phipps. For a primer on international monetary economics, the Oxford primer by Emil Maria Classen is good.
I know lots of good materials for trade and FDI material (no one else cares LOL), read Freenstra’s Advanced International Economics to save time; Mark Casson for an exposition of international business theory (this is one of the most complex books I have ever read, it is the Silmarillion of business schools) and Markusen for new trade theory. Dunning and Narula are still the best for MNE theory and FDI as a historical phenomena.
Always read von Mises’ Human Action.
Actually for econometrics you *need* Greene but Intriligator has an old text with good examples; try to learn PLS even though economists don’t use it much, also see the Wiley primers on Non Linear Regression and Time Series Econometrics.
I am not going to recommend first year texts as they are nearly all terrible.
My friends who either got the CFA cert or worked as options traders reckoned Strong’s Investment Analysis and Portfolio Management is the best book on finance, it is very simple, but it has a broad overview of nearly all asset classes.

KRuddy is also getting himself involved, offering his “inestimable” (in his mind) advice.
Dot, the problem is the low approach from the northern (Wilberforce) side.
Windsor is built (sensibly) on a small hill. The town does flood but very rarely (I have seen a photo of people in rowboats getting beer from the top storey of The Jolly Frog, possibly in the 70’s).
To the north, the river does a great loop – there is an old house on the junction of Freeman’s Reach Road built on the highest ground which rarely goes under – the rest is turf farms that flood regularly.
The only way you could keep the road open and flood-proof was to construct a causeway from Wilberforce and thus raise the northern approach to the bridge. Clearly far too expensive for a supposedly cash-strapped government.
I’ll add – The Jolly Frog went under from the South Creek side, not the river. That’s where the old Toll House sits just below the level of the new road across the flats.
AnAl should be in Richmond and Camden and other parts of Sydney giving our money away.

The last govt that thought ahead in Qld was Borbidge, before that of Sir Joh’s. Given the explosive growth predicted for the Gold Coast, he decided that the best thing was to bite the bullet and straight from 2 to 4 lanes when rebuilding the M1 from Beenleigh to the Gold Coast Highway, and instead of doing one section at a time, did the whole lot – and saved an absolute bomb doing it. Of course, that arsehole Beattie got the credit as it was finished during his term.

Hells Gate Dam is a non starter and they went with the cheap option with the lower wall that won’t be satisfactory. I believe the funding promised was for yet another study, we have had a number of these over 20 years. They just need to get on and build if not fluff around again.
I’m well aware Farmer Gez, I’m just referring to the reality that the private sector continues to invest in water storage while government water ministers insist public ones will never fill.
(A relative had a permit for a new dam on his property, the first day of work some busybody complained and an official busybody paid a visit when all they needed to do was check their computer records.)

Albanese’s comment that the destruction of civilian houses in Ukraine are ‘ war crimes’ is itself not in keeping with due processes of law but instead merely a prejudicial and gratuitously sensationalist throw-away line. Not statesman-like at all. Moreover, Albanese seems to have not understood that the civilian houses in the Ukraine are very solidly-built and that the type of warfare in the towns means that houses can readily be occupied by Ukranian (or Russian) soldiers as defence positions and consequently subject to attack. Anyway, it was a most unpleasantly reedy voice said to be that of the Australian Prime minister tilting at gravitas that I inadvertently heard on the radio this morning.

Every now and again I would have to read an Accounting Standard to find out why the accounting treatment bore no relation to the economic performance or value creation of a business or business unit. Our firm (with me as an employee) made a reasonable living doing that for around 10 years before going off and doing other things.
just ask Lisa Neville
Michael Smith News – three police officers shot dead, in the United States overnight.
If kevni’s on the case, fortifying the western bank of the Dniepr might be prudent.
Sadly for Ms Neville’s predictions the Thompson is currently at 90%.
Not just the ALP rosie, we expect them to be the way they are. Scomo was being mealy mouthed as well. Katter called them out at the time and even the Katter detractors up this way mentioned Katter gets it right sometimes and this was one of those times…
Build dams.
Build new coal power stations.
Maybe Clive could electioneer on that platform next time.
The only one in that lot who’s not incompoetent is Macron, and he’s been spending his time lately trying to get the ME to pump more oil, which doesn’t seem to fit the narrative.
I read Tom’s comment and wondered just how far she has strayed from Aunty’s apron strings.
Could it be that her biggest (only) client as a recruiter is Aunty herself?
It fits the Red Kezza business model.
Clive?
Clive who?
Macron is not giving away nuclear power either.
Maybe the French are doing okay.
Reading the Michael Palin diaries of his Python time. Might not finish it – it is rather thick and I’m sure there is more interesting stuff to be reading but it is a snapshot of the times. The ALPBC’s 2nd or 3rd favourite pedophile Richard Neville has just made a cameo appearance.
France too has a looming energy crisis with plans to loadshed next winter.
That is an outrageous assertion!
He’s not even in their top ten.
Wow just put some bacon on BBQ under shelter. I was blowing clouds with my breath, just checked BOM 13 deg and just started raining.
seems to have had a chequered work history since leaving the collective, and has ended in that most useless of positions — human resources.

the French Government is spending 38 billion Euros to avoid passing on price rises to consumers. I wonder who is making all those extra billions?
ABC Classic Radio is playing Aboriginal music every now and then. I didn’t realise that that type of music was deemed to be classical. Ahhhhhhhhhhh of course. This is NAIDOC Week. Why not play it on Triple J radio or isn’t Aboriginal music cool enough for the young ones?
Having railed against those that don’t pay their “fair share” of tax a Four Corners investigation by a proper financial journalist into the Red Kezza corporate structure and related party financing might make for interesting television.
No doubt Emma will act as a portal for any exiting ABC talent into the real world.

Maybe Clive could electioneer on that platform next time.
Clive?
Clive who?
That would be ‘Clive of India’………….Errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. No. Most probably Clive Palmer.
I’m not sure I would want to inflict aboriginal hip hop on anyone. Even Triple J listeners.
What part did your capitulation to, and empowerment of tyrants play in this?
Maybe you need to stop making suggestions about others and clean up your own backyard.
You too Sancho “Clive who” of the slip lane.
Fuckwit nobady talking about others like that.
FMD there are a few here with tickets on themselves.
looks like France was running down its nuclear capacity which it planned to cap at 50% and now has unplanned outages to add to the no Russian fuel debacle.
At least you wouldn’t need a fat Rolodex – Teh Grauniad and the Jewish vanity press.
Looks like the winner of Queensland’s biggest loser show is here.
The energy and water debacle dates back decades, in case people don’t know.
Look at the sick everywhere.
All jabbed.
Fucking useless, taking days off everywhere.
VAIDS.
Vaccine induced AIDS.
As explained to the denialist here at Dover’s many moons ago, but ignored.
But hey, you’ve survived up until now so that means it was perfectly safe!!!
Insanity.
How many boosters are you going to get?
Behind every energy crisis is an odium of politicians. Funny that.
If you want to attempt smart-arsery notaclue, try to actually achieve it this time.
You have constantly shot yourself in the foot attempting to do so up until now.
Go on……you can do it.
Hi Charlie…
In contrast to most electricity companies WA Water Corporation has done a pretty good job of staying ahead of the curve. Transitioned to groundwater and currently planning for a 3rd desal plant. Not often in the news (usually a good thing), although raising a few feathers with proposals to license private bores.
His inclusion more or less guarantees that this working group will flounder and fail. If Trumble was the big head on one side of a coin, KRudd would be another big head on the other. They should not both be on the coin but they are so egotistical neither will budge and the result is a useless coin.
Could be a deliberate tactic by the Wussians, luring them with the siren-song of playing the hero, and absolutely certain they will pilot their ship onto shoals to be smashed to bits.
*Chester Bennington
Oh and no boosters.
And who caused it?
Globalists.
The same people you just empowered.
Now they are really going to town because they can.
Dopey moles like you surrendered at the first chance.
What’s stopping them now?
Fucking women.
They should never have been given the vote….and I know many women who agree, and actually say that people like notaclue embarrass them as women.
At least the French seem to be a little pragmatic and have abandoned the let them eat cake philosophy of Australian politicians who want us to throw out our gas appliances and ICE cars and buy induction stoves and EVs while unable to pay our energy bills.
Meanwhile the ABC sobs about immigrants who can’t Uber.
Aboriginal people had more than one musical instrument, and music too. Who knew?
Anything else is cultural appropriation!
I can see why a head of lettuce is currently $11.49 at the supermarket.

Wow, in Sweden, the pace of the decrease in live births is ACCELERATING. Just a couple of percentage points in January, then 5% in February, 8% in March, and over 10% in April.
This is an incipient “Children of Men”-type scenario. And this is really happening.
And a good thing that Fat Cloive stood firm and refused to run any women candidates …
He what?
He didn’t did he?
That many?
And in Queensssland too?

Um an economics degree without maths or accounting is almost as bad as journalism
I have a B Ec and have never done any accounting. Every now and again I would have to read an Accounting Standard to find out why the accounting treatment bore no relation to the economic performance or value creation of a business or business unit. Our firm (with me as an employee) made a reasonable living doing that for around 10 years before going off and doing other things.
When I did my Accounting BA we had to do Microeconomics and Macroeconomics.
With Microeconomics there is this concept of ‘Perfect Competition’. When said to the Tutor that there is no such thing as ‘Perfect Competition’ I got a blank look from the Tutor.
With Macroeconomics there was this formula as to how the National Economy worked (GDP and all that). In the formula there is a ‘G’ for Government spending. When I said to the Tutor that Government spending can’t add to the Economy as the Government is using taxpayer money and borrowings. Taxpayer money already coming from the gross earnings of individuals and Companies, etc. Again, I got a blank look from the Tutor. I then went onto say that the real Economy doesn’t work like this formula………………………More of the same from the Tutor.
Anyway, to pass the two exams I had to regurgitate this stuff, otherwise I would have failed the two subjects.
I found the accounting stuff quite practical though.
I’ve got a hole in the ground where the water comes out.
I reckon the day is coming where they will charge me for it.

Fucking women.
Well, as a heterosexual male, I am quite partial to this activity………………………………….
Are you sure they are women?
I mean, it’s hard to tell these days, particularly at a dimly lit truck stop.
It is said that those who remain sane while all others go insane will be hated.
Quite true.
What they don’t say is how much the sane despise and disrespect the insane as they became that way through human weakness and fear.
It is hard not to come to the conclusion you deserve what is coming to you.
Admit what you have done and stop attempting to brush over it, stop pretending it didn’t happen and take up the fight against those who only had to say “boo” to have you shit yourselves in fear.
To those who have made you sick, with the high likelihood of an early death in a hospital that won’t be trying to save you.
And to those of you who don’t think you’re sick, it’s early days,……early days.
Looking at the jabbed dropping to every little cold virus around here, and the huge rise in overall deaths in the working ages, “baffling ” doctors….when are you going to drop the bullshit and admit what you have allowed them to do to you?
Water Corp put the kybosh on Emperor Barney’s Kimberley canal when he was only the lowly Member for Cottesloe.
I agree.
In other news, the intense low off the coast crossed here at around 9pm last night. Howling, in fact. It appears to have knocked out the Lemon Tree Passage radar. Other than that, blue skies in the lull before it hits again tomorrow.
Some Elbow room to regroup and batten down.
Sodom and Gomorrah.
Adam and Eve…..
Such truths
There isn’t really, but so what?
Wheat farming is probably as close to a real world example as you will get.
The point is to look at consumer and producer surplus and industry adjustment.
There are four main models of market competition you see on first year microeconomics. Oligopoly is too complex for most first years (game theory and maths) but the old Video shop on the early 1990s was probably a very good example of monopolistic competition.
Rarely are mathematical models perfect. Especially with human actors.
Sancho – Underground water is a bit different between the east and the west. As anyone who has dug a hole in Perth knows it is basically on giant sand pit. Once it used to be a chain of lakes and swamps for a couple of months between being sandhills and plains. Naturally private bore owners are unhappy after lording over us peasants on scheme water.
Alright who sent their word salad back this time?
Must be after 5 o’clock.
From the Oz.
Truck driver Pravh Singh was rescued by four SES rescue units after he drove past submerged cars into floodwaters in Chipping Norton in Sydney’s west on Sunday, earning him a fine and a stern rebuke from police officer.
Mr Singh said he did not realise he was driving into floodwaters and his truck was ruined.
He thought he was safe, unfortunately the water entered his cabin through the large round hole under his driver’s seat.
How many boosters are you going to get?
No need for any booster seats for the back seat of the car as the children are all grown up now.
Oh, you mean those boosters. No need as I remain ‘unjabbed’ by those experimental emergency approved drugs.
The submerged cars might have been a clue.
Translated…
I’m dismissing the truth……it frightens me..
This little corner of the web is where denialists hang out.
He should fuck off with all this plain speaking truth.
Those willing to put up with the idiocy and cowardice of the sneerers, and those who take solace in ignoring reality.
Those who fear the truth.
Tick, tick , tick……
Back to the Ukraine………
Let’s hope it is his truck so he can count the cost of his idiocy.
An employer wouldn’t be too happy about it.
Mr Singh said he had not shat himself so much since that one time at the Hay truck stop after a dodgy cheese sausage.
Yes, can you help me. I’m looking for the alter of struth?
Instead you found the altar of st ruth.
Yes, where I am rainfall is fairly reliable, so there is no real need to license ground water use.
Except cash inflows for water authorities.

He couldn’t see the submerged cars as they were under water. Funny how he managed to drive around and past them though…………………………….
Cyclone Kenn has just crossed the coast.
I have a pic somewhere of me and my class attending a school camp (must have been in 1956) somewhere around Windsor. First time such a thing was ever done at our school. Everyone was very excited because many had never been on any sort of holiday. The river across a causeway was in flood but neither the teachers nor the class was daunted. We took off our shoes and carried them, the girls hitching up their skirts, and we walked across the flooded swift running causeway.
Can’t imagine it happening today.
WTF are they on about?
Jan – 8917
Feb – 8544
Mar – 9191
Apr – 8802
I suspect Mr Singh spotted a witch in the water.
Mr Singh said he did not realise he was driving into floodwaters and his truck was ruined.
Should not be a surprise, given that the subcontinent provides 80% of YouTubes “Truck Fail” content, with the Middle East providing 15% and rest of world contributing the remainder, mainly due to low bridges.
