Sorting out some old papers from years ago – an article regarding a certain pop singer was beating the big drum for animal rights, by brandishing a fake lamb on stage “dripping blood from shearers cuts.” A group of farmers – of which I was one – offered said singer a chance to visit a shearing shed, and see lambs being shorn for themselves. You didn’t shear lambs that little anyway.

This song was very pertinent for me at that time as I had just witnessed my first death first-hand. I was but a minute before talking to him as I gave him his dish to wash himself. We had a good relationship esp as his birthday was the same date as my then boyfriend (who I later married). I remember to this day his name and whenever after that I heard the song by Louis Armstrong I thought of that moment when that patient was there and then he wasn’t. Witnessing this my first death was not easy and never forgotten.

NAIDOC Week has come and gone for another year, thank goodness. As a regular listener to ABC Classic FM, I’m inured to the constant mentions that the broadcast is coming from Gadigal (or whatever) land and treat it as background noise. It is irritating but not enough for me to turn it off. It rose to a deafening cacophony during NAIDOC.
That NAIDOC was capped off with the sight of the Wallabies singing the National Anthem in some obscure Aboriginal dialect and the insane decision of NSW Premier Perrottet to replace the NSW state flag on the Harbour Bridge with the Aboriginal one were the last straws for me. Once upon a time, a few years ago even, I guess I could stomach NAIDOC Week, but recently it has become so ‘in your face’ that it has become intolerable. I’ve had a gutful.
As regards the Wallabies, what immediately struck me watching this sickening virtue signalling was this: when was the last time anyone saw the members of any national or state football team join in ‘as one’ to sing the English language version, i.e. the official one, of the National Anthem?
As to the Harbour Bridge issue, that brought to mind Uluru. In deference to Aboriginal ownership, we now no longer refer to it as Ayres Rock and we accede to the wish not to climb it, despite the fact that there was never any tradition of not climbing. But the Harbour Bridge owes nothing whatsoever to Aboriginal tradition, history or technology. It was built by the people of New South Wales. Sixteen of them lost their lives in its construction. And yet the Premier of New South Wales has unilaterally decided to remove the flag symbolizing the efforts and sacrifices of those people and replace it with the Aboriginal flag. This was not done at the behest of the Commonwealth government. It was Perrottet’s own weak-kneed initiative. So much for federalism.
Which brings me to recognition.
The claim is made that recognition, in the Constitution, of Aboriginal people as the original owners/inhabitants of this continent will make them feel empowered and give them confidence to stride ahead into the future. Some will tell you this recognition is purely symbolic. Mostly it is white supporters who push this line. The most influential Indigenous activists reject mere symbolism. They are quite open about the fact that they want some form of self-government. However, for the moment let’s look at the idea of symbolic recognition.
My question is this: what would be the game-changing factor in this symbolic gesture that would trump all the other gestures and practical actions that have gone before? What is it about a mention in a document (which most Australians have never and will never read) , that would succeed where the gestures and measures outlined below have apparently failed?
Why wouldn’t Aborigines already feel empowered and included when they see their flag flying outside every public building in the land?
Why wouldn’t Aborigines already feel empowered and included when they are acknowledged at every public event?
Why wouldn’t Aborigines already feel empowered and included when they are invited to welcome us to their country at almost every public event?
Why would not Indigenous people already feel empowered and included when they see their culture mandated as a cross curriculum imperative in our schools?
Why wouldn’t Aborigines feel empowered and included when they see their culture front and centre at the opening ceremony of all major sporting events?
Why wouldn’t Aborigines already feel empowered and included when they remember that in 1970 Lionel Rose was named the ninth Australian of the Year, the first of nine who have been so honoured in the 62-year history of the award? That in 1995, David Unaipon featured on our $50 note? That in 1972 Pastor Douglas Nicholls was knighted and in 1976 became Governor of South Australia?
I could go on, but I’m sure you get my point.
The real agenda, hinted at in the Uluru Statement and openly expressed by many of the leading Indigenous activists, is for a separate Aboriginal sovereignty, of equal standing with the sovereignty that already forms the basis of Australia. This would be a recipe for disaster. Potentially, you might find yourself subject to a different set of laws than your next-door neighbour.
Here is an example already in train. The Yuin people of South-Eastern NSW have lodged a land title claim for the entire south coast for NSW, from Sutherland Shire to the Victorian border, including the inshore waters out to three nautical miles. One of the things sought is the unrestricted right to fish these waters. At the moment, Yuin people can take fish for consumption without having a fishing licence, but they are governed by bag limits, which are greater than for the general populace (ten abalone vs two, and twenty fish vs ten). But they can also apply to exceed these limits for ‘cultural purposes’.
Yuin man Kevin Mason says he has been fishing in his ancestral waters since he was a boy, providing much needed food for his community on the New South Wales South Coast. “That’s our livelihood, it’s the life blood of Aboriginal people,” he said. “How to feed [mob], that’s been handed down to me and I’ll hand it down to my next generation.” The proponents claim that the Yuin are a traditional fishing community and fishing is an essential cultural imperative for them, which leads one to wonder why Mr Mason has to feed his mob. Why aren’t they all doing it?
The proponents of this claim say that if they are successful it will open up commercial opportunities. If the claim is successful, it is possible the ruling might allow traditional owners to restrict access to other Australians.
People’s freedom to do what they like, or what they are used to doing in the past, is being constrained all the time in the name of the common good. Mr Mason might like to consider that restrictions on his fishing rights are offset by his ownership of a tinnie which considerably enhances his ability to catch fish, and his ownership of a fridge that allows him to store his catch, and that he doesn’t have to eat fish every day. When not fishing, he can eat a pizza and watch the footy on his flat screen TV, if he so desires.
In 2013, the Commonwealth Parliament passed the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders Recognition Act which recognized the prior occupation of the continent. This Act was intended to kick-start the process for a referendum on constitutional recognition. It allowed the Parliament to establish a review for the way forward and allowed two years for this process to commence. That review never took place and was eventually overtaken by the process of establishing the Uluru Statement. The Act lapsed in 2015. It could easily be resurrected in limited form to provide the same official recognition as the 2013 Act, from our foremost Parliament. It would be a foolish government that ever sought to repeal such an act.
Recently, in the wake of the childish actions of The Green’s Adam Bandt in ignoring the Australian flag, Tony Abbott suggested it might be time to reconsider the prominence given to the Aboriginal flag. Good on him I say, but let’s not stop there. Let’s cut back drastically on all this pointless and divisive symbolism. Let’s trash the ubiquitous welcome to country, the acknowledgement of traditional owners, the Aboriginal motifs on Qantas aircraft, the Aboriginal pride football rounds and all the rest of it. Aboriginal people are good at a lot of things but, just lately, they seem to excel at whinging.

“George Pell and Catholic Church to be sued: media report
The father of a former choir boy, who prosecutors alleged was sexually abused by George Pell in Melbourne’s St Patrick’s Cathedral, has brought a civil case against the cardinal and the Catholic Church, Nine newspapers report.
Cardinal Pell was found guilty in 2018 by a Victorian jury of abusing two teenage choir boys in 1996 and 1997. The convictions were overturned in 2020 by the High Court, which found there was reasonable doubt in the testimony of his sole living accuser, whose story was deemed improbable because of the timing, nature and location of the alleged offending. Cardinal Pell was released from prison after more than a year in custody.
One of the choir boys died from an accidental drug overdose in 2014, having never made a complaint against Cardinal Pell.
The deceased man’s father has lodged a civil case against the Catholic Archdiocese of Melbourne and Cardinal Pell. The case is listed for a directions hearing in the Victorian Supreme Court on Thursday.”

Two prominent figures in the past Trump administration have come forward to declare the actions by federal agencies such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and others overstepped their boundaries, turning into what became an illegal crusade against the generic drug ivermectin.
Further to the above, I am nearly done reading Ray Dalio’s ‘Principles for dealing with the changing world order’ and it lays out a pretty persuasive case for the fall of the West and the coming supremacy of China.
I’ve looks and looked and looked at that painting and I still can’t work it out. Probable the artist’s intent.
If it’s an “allegory” it’s definitely an obscure one. All I see is a bunch of Biblical and classical figures set like chess pieces on a terrace (nicely drawn to perspective) and a high definition rural background. The focal “point” is odd too – a triangular arrangement of child, the male figure (possibly St Peter, but who knows?) and the red shirted guy in the cave.
A cross, a centaur, a lamb – healing? And just who are those two figures lit up on the shore? Adam and Eve?

Apparently there is a real tech employment bloodbath going on in the US.

You don’t need a large population to be dominant.
To speak to the person running the country ?
“Why would Newsom show up to the Whitehouse when Biden is out of the country?”
Depends on the model you operate on. Population decline springs from a deeper malaise in Chinese society (even the abandonment of the one child policy hasn’t addressed birth rates) and brings with it a string of very difficult problems for the government to deal with that are already peaking over the horizon. Hence their recent bellicosity: Look, over there!

The ‘Universal Vaccine’ Agenda for Annual Vaccinations and an Endless Pandemic | Crossroads
Pfizer is developing a “universal vaccine,” which can modify the new mRNA vaccines to fight against new viruses as they emerge. The new type of vaccine isn’t just being developed by Pfizer either, and officials including Dr. Anthony Fauci have touted the vision of the vaccines as being an end-goal of dealing with COVID-19.
The agenda behind universal vaccines goes far beyond COVID-19, however, with Fauci discussing the idea going back as far as 2009. And Pfizer, meanwhile, has also pushed for a similar agenda under the banner of an annual vaccine.
Yeah, when you look under the hood you can see there’re a few problems with the engine.

Gershon Fuentes, a ‘believed to be undocumented’ immigrant, arrested for the rape of a 10-year-old Ohio girl who traveled to Indiana for an abortion
Hmm, that’s interesting.
First of all, it’s once again one person making an allegation -i.e. that they were in the courtroom when the charges were presented. One would expect that’s true, since (although it’s hard to prove a negative conclusively) it would be difficult to make that sort of false story stand up to scrutiny.
But what’s not said is when it happened, or why the kid was taken to Indiana.
Odds on the abortionist’s “6 weeks and 3 days” story being totally false now shorten, so “stage managed beatup” is the favourite.

Another case for the Supreme Court? Add in the Departrment of Transportation going all in on “Klimate Change” without any obvious legislative backing, and soon the administrative state will lose the ability to run the country (at least, according to m0nty-fa).

Further to the above, I am nearly done reading Ray Dalio’s ‘Principles for dealing with the changing world order’ and it lays out a pretty persuasive case for the fall of the West and the coming supremacy of China.
The west is only beaten when the people of the west accept that they are beaten, not when the tools of the so-called “elite” decide that we are.
And just to underline the point
J6 panel shuns live testimony from Trump associates, prefers to slice and dice taped depositions
sounds like a good outcome
Sancho,
I suspect he means cashflow,
Well done, Mark Steyn.
Weak sauce. The authoritative case law refers to minors dying far away as a jackaroo or IIRC, a horrible train station accident.
I mean really, every family member of someone who raises an allegation could then claim damages.
Just absurd.
Imagine the abuse of this in family law. A veritable nightmare.
How does the old ditty go? “The working class can kiss my arse, I’ve got the bosses job at last!”
I see the Ohio 10-year-old rape victim story has been confirmed.
The religious fundamentalists who screamed that it was fake can now have a bit of shush.
It’s a very curious story, Fatboy. Everyone appears to have known of the rape except the Ohio AG? How’s that?
It’s a bit more complicated than that it’s it Monty?
No-one said it could never have happened but that the facts put forward were dubious.
Yesterday, the governor of Ohio was also in the dark.
Whew. Leak is savagely good this morning.
Tim N, you were completely wrong about this. Shush, lest you look even more of a fool.
Mark Steyn: The stories of vaccine-damaged patients and their families
The VFT will eventually stand for Variably Fast Train, with the variability will be between ‘Sort of’ and ‘No way you could describe it as’.
Oh stop it Monty with your silly shushing.
It turns out that the AG and governor of a US state are not briefed immediately on the details of every single case involving health and law enforcement. This is not controversial.
All of the details in the initial story were correct, despite the skepticism of those who were upset by facing the inevitable consequences of their worldview.
Your hurt feelings about experiencing cognitive dissonance have no relevance to the facts of the story.
Leftist politicised Courts are now weapons of legalised harassment and extortion against Marxist enemies.
The Solomons guy should have a talk with the Sri Lankan President if they can find him.
One might further ask why the AG of Ohio went on a media tour of Fox News and the cable shows whining that he hadn’t heard about the case thus it might not exist… instead of doing his job and finding out about its existence. Maybe he’s an incompetent boob?
Diogenes.
From the article.
“Cash burn” is a term used in start ups.
Yes, it relates to cash-flow (ie big outflows, no inflows).
It used to be a badge of honour – a demonstration of “investment” in whizz-bang new apps.
Investors are now looking at the possibility that their money might be being pissed up against the wall.
See also, “Atlassian”.
Bwahahahahaaaaa. “We’re going to need more rakes over here.”
Given the international coverage I’d have thought it very appropriate to brief the AG.
As usual Monty has a spurious excuse for everything.
And of course the issue isn’t the nonsense about 6 weeks 3 days had to go all the way to Indiana, it’s the rape itself being used to pursue a political agenda.
Incidentally, if the people of Ohio want to change their abortion laws, they can.
If you are selling clothing to women it helps to know what a woman is.
Last year, I said Victoria’s Secret was declaring bankruptcy by swapping its “Angels” for trans models and hoo boy do I feel prophetic right now (13 Jul, via Instapundit)
LOL. I love how they’re blaming Vladimir Putin for women not wanting to buy their underwear.

Very Farce Train?
“Tim N, you were completely wrong about this. Shush, lest you look even more of a fool.”
You’ve been wrong many times, and yet not once have you ever apologised or acknowledged that you’ve ever been wrong. It isn’t Tim N who’s the fool, it’s you.
It is not the job of the doctors or police involved to think about the media profile of the attorney-general. That he now looks like a damn fool is not their fault.
Fox News and the WSJ were all over this as being fake news, now they look stupid too. Also not the fault of the doctors and police.
The facts speak for themselves, rosie. They make pro-Dobbs people look bad. That is entirely the fault of pro-Dobbs people for supporting a barbaric law.
I thought Victoria’s Secret went under because it was associated with Miranda Kerr who is sort of an Australian version of Brooke Shields to anyone/anything successful.
Almost by definition anything in fashion goes out of fashion.
This is madness.
Subtle. Both pronounced the same. Spelling won’t be an issue since I expect there is no time to learn spelling – what with all the injustice in the world to study.
Surrounded by rakes, mUnty reaches for a shovel.

“George Pell and Catholic Church to be sued: media report
Some comparison between the OJ Simpson civil case and this civil case against Pell. With Simpson there was a proved criminal offence: the murder of his ex-wife and boyfriend. OJ could not be convicted to a criminal standard for those proven murders. But at the lessor civil standard of proof was convicted and had to pay damages to the relatives.
With Pell there was an alleged criminal offence: the molestation of 2 choir boys, one deceased, who had disavowed the molestation before he died. The lower courts found Pell guilty of that alleged criminal offence of molestation. The High Court, however, found there was no criminal offence. With no criminal offence there cannot be liability at either the higher criminal standard or the lessor civil standard so as to sustain a claim for damages by the parent.
But who knows what can happen in the courts.
“But who knows what can happen in the courts.”
Let me just amend that slightly…
“But who knows what can happen in the Victorian courts.”
Turns out the guy that raped the minor was an illegal immigrant.

Odds on the abortionist’s “6 weeks and 3 days” story being totally false now shorten, so “stage managed beatup” is the favourite.
Tim N, you were completely wrong about this. Shush, lest you look even more of a fool.
m0nty you fat dissembling idiot.
All along I’ve said that the two most likely scenarios were that the story was totally false or it was a stage managed beatup. As I pointed out above, nothing in the current assertions tells us whether the alleged rape happened in the three day window necessary for the abortionist’s story to be fully true. Also, even if it did happen that way, nothing in the current assertions is even the slightest bit inconsistent with it being a stage managed beatup.
Meanwhile in Viktoraistan:
Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews has been asked to explain a $1900 bill that was sent to a family who rushed their unconscious 15-month-old son to hospital themselves because they could not get an ambulance after six Triple Zero calls.

As any law student would know nervous shock is a very particular kind of injury and head of damage. The success or failure of the case has almost no relation to events surrounding the criminal case. It probably doesn’t hurt to be in Victoriastan though.
Link for rape story.
Things that are dead & buried in so-called liberal democracies.
Lateral thought.
Critical thinking.
Civics.
I really don’t care if someone has to travel interstate to get an abortion.
It’s a big nothing.
Interesting history story:
Indiana Jones of art with relic that put fear of god into thief
By BRUNO WATERFIELD
THE TIMES
A priceless relic said to contain the “precious blood of Christ” that was stolen from a Norman abbey has been recovered by a renowned art detective after the thief panicked, believing he risked being cursed.
The ornate reliquary was stolen with other valuables by a thief who hid overnight on June 1 in the Abbey of the Holy Trinity at Fecamp, on the coast near Le Havre. The crime was denounced by the Bishop of Le Havre, Jean-Luc Brunin, as an attack on all Christians.
The bejewelled copper casket has now been handed back to Arthur Brand, known as “the Indiana Jones of the art world” for his work tracking down stolen or missing masterpieces, at his home in Amsterdam.
Mr Brand, 53, said the thief had lost his nerve when he realised that what had been taken was an object venerated by the faithful for more than 1000 years.
“To have the ultimate relic, the blood of Christ, which you have stolen, in your home is a curse, even if you are not a believer,” he said.
“To have an artefact that is the ultimate relic for over a billion believers on Earth is a curse.
“The thief had no idea what it was to begin with. Then he googled it, found out and panicked. When they realised what it was, that you in fact cannot sell it, they knew they had to get rid of it.”
The thief had an accomplice, Mr Brand discovered. “The other person panicked too and contacted me,” he said, noting that such objects are often destroyed rather than handed back. “They said: ‘This is important. You must help us because we cannot go to the abbey as there are cameras.’ ”
The casket holds lead vials said to contain drops of blood taken by Joseph of Arimathea, who is recorded in the Bible as having tended Christ’s body after the crucifixion. According to legend, the saint threw the casket into the sea on a fig branch to avoid seizure by the Romans while travelling to Britain.
The casket washed ashore in France, giving rise to a miraculous spring and after surviving Viking raids in the 8th and 9th centuries, it has been venerated by pilgrims for 1000 years at Fecamp.
The legend of Joseph of Arimathea also links the relic to King Arthur and the quest for the Holy Grail, giving the object a special mystical significance for many people, including Mr Brand.
The theft took place less than two weeks before an annual mass celebrating the relic in a tradition of worship that dates back to the 10th century.
The sacred relic is in the possession of the Dutch police and will be handed back once they receive a request for mutual assistance from France.
Mr Brand’s record of recovering masterpieces ranges from Hitler’s favourite sculptures to Picasso paintings and priceless Persian medieval manuscripts, but his latest adventure had extra significance. “I am a Catholic myself so this was more than an artefact,” he said. “It was a religious experience.”
The Times
There was nothing stage managed about it. A man raped a 10-year-old and got her pregnant, so due to Ohio’s abortion laws she had to travel to Indiana to get an abortion. That’s it. No stage, just a vulnerable girl who was forced to prolong her trauma by Republicans and their 18th-century laws.
You and the other skeptics on the right were utterly and fully wrong about this.
There is no need to. “Had to travel interstate” is completely made up with monty’s made up medical board rules.
He should shush.
Only in the mind of Monty could a car journey of perhaps a couple of hours six or seven weeks after the event add utterly and fully to the trauma of being raped.
Monty only cares for the children.
” just a vulnerable girl who was forced to prolong her trauma by Republicans and their 18th-century laws.”
I hate to break it to you but there are also some Democrats who oppose abortion.
