Steve Kates has had a stroke.

Steve, I hope you got attention quickly after it happened. If so, stroke management these days is excellent and you’ll be back on your feet in a few weeks. Good luck.

think of how many progressives, who would never ever put up an American or Australian flag in any of their social media profiles now have Ukrainian flags in their profiles.

I suppose it’s an improvement from the rainbow flag, which had been the fashion previously.
May be the next fad will be “I Stand With Monkey Pox Sufferers”.

The Ukraine war is a damning reflection of modern journalism.
Never before have we seen less or known less about the hot zones. Opinion and posture from safe areas have replaced the head down war correspondent.
It a war of self serving anecdotes that never gives you a full picture of the state of play. I’ve tuned out.

What proportion of the California population can be described as “aren’t that many” blacks? You must have the data to hand to make (or is that make up) that statement.

You’re pettifogging again, to deflect from previous hysterically indefensible comments you’ve made.

But, hey, you reckon I’m lying, so you must have some, uh, evidence to help your case, right?
Right?

“Pettifogging”: Translation of Dickspeak: Damn, caught making stuff up again.

You made the assertion, it is up to you to prove it, not me.

Just thinking about the black-handed, dough-boys who lost their seats to the teals — Jason Falinski entered parliament after the Photios Phlange ousted Bronwyn Bishop, the woman who served 30 years in parliament. Six years as opposed to 30 years — does that mean he doesn’t get a parliamentary pension? Trent Zimmerponce in since 2015 he was installed after the Photios Phlange ousted Joe Hockey – does he get a parliamentary pension? Dave ‘Karma’ Sharma replaced Malcontent Turdball was in for 3 years he definitely won’t get a parliamentary pension, our gift from the IPA Tim ‘Colouring Books’ Wilson, 6 years -? and of course Josh Frydenchickenburger he’ll get a parliamentary pension – spineless spivs the lot of them — good riddance – and thanks for nothing ScuMo

They really are stupid, those Victorian Liberals, Matthew Guy most of all. Apparently Zak Kirkup’s thrashing after trying to out-green The Greens in WA has failed to be noticed by (try not to laugh) alternate government in Danistan.

Were he not an impotent idiot, Guy would have said, “We pledge to keep the lights on by any means necessary”.

Four more years of the Andrewsfilth. God help Victoria.

Make Just moved on AAP:

The Victorian coalition is promising to legislate an emissions reduction target of 50 per cent by 2030, if it wins the November state election.

Opposition Leader Matthew Guy on Sunday unveiled the policy, which matches Victorian Labor’s target and is higher than the 43 per cent goal set by the federal government.

The Victorian government has already committed to slashing emissions 50 per cent by the end of the decade, but is yet to legislate the interim target.

Under the coalition’s plan to reach the 2030 target, it has pledged to establish a $1 billion hydrogen strategy, upgrade transmission infrastructure in western Victoria to unlock renewable energy and set up a “Fixing Victoria’s Grid” taskforce.

It will also legislate a local gas guarantee for new supply, a policy first announced in 2017, within the first six months of taking office.

Mr Guy described it is a sensible plan for building the state’s future energy system and said it showed the coalition’s commitment to climate change action.

“By writing into law an emission reduction of 50 per cent by 2030, we will send the strongest possible signal that action on climate change is a priority,” he said.

It comes the day after the coalition announced it would offer rebates of up to $1400 for solar panels and $3000 for a home batteries, expanding on Victorian Labor’s signature Solar Homes program.

Premier Daniel Andrews would not be drawn on whether his government also planned to legislate the 2030 target.

“Apparently people who were opposed to renewable energy and didn’t believe in climate change a few weeks ago, suddenly (do). Nothing like a convert,” he told reporters.

In March, Mr Guy flagged the coalition would pursue Labor’s 2030 and 2050 emissions targets after in 2018 vowing to scrap them in favour of a national approach if they regained government.

But the Andrews government was comfortably returned for a second term, with Mr Guy stepping down as leader and the opposition’s policy left in limbo.

There is absolutely no way the ESGuy’s party can come back from this. They cannot reverse it without looking weak so they now have to continue driving the BDouble of Pathetic Opposition down the hill minus brakes towards the voting booths of Victoria.

Cannot wait to encounter* the poor fellow who has put a considerable amount of his own money into standing for the SFLs here. I asked him at his campaign launch what the party was planning to do in order to win back Once Were Liberal Voters such as myself.

Waffled on with usual nonsense of not making it personal against the sitting member and how impressed he was with ESGuy. ESGuy learned a lot from the last loss he assured me. If today’s announcement reflects all that learning then the IQ of ESGuy must have been in negative territory before he strong-armed himself back into the top seat.

Any organisation that steadfastly and stubbornly refuses to listen to the concerns of the electorate and equally steadfastly and stubbornly refuses to learn from the stupidity of others deserves exactly what is coming to it.

I’ll refresh the facts for you.
Gay pubs were The Exchange, The International in Spring Hill [a Cat get together was held there about 10 years ago], the front bar of The Alliance and the Private Bar in the Transcontinental.
The Windsor Hotel [where the Crest now sits] was also a notorious Gay Pub.
The Osborne in The Valley was frequented by heavy criminals and was a place to steer clear of.
The Hotel Cecil in George St. was the watering hole of senior Police during working hours M-F.
Abos were the clientele at the Palace, The Manhattan, The Adelaide and The Ship Inn, all in South Brisbane, the Port Office in Edward St was also worth steering clear of, and the Waterside Workers Club in Ivory St would serve anyone on a Sunday morning.

President Joe Biden delivered another verbal gaffe on the final day of his Middle East tour, when he accidentally praised the ‘selfishness’ of US troops.

The slip-up came as Biden delivered prepared remarks to leaders of the Gulf Cooperation Council in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on Saturday.

‘For the first time since 9/11, an American president is visiting this region without American troops being engaged in combat — in a combat mission in the region,’ said Biden.

‘We’ll always honor the bravery, the selfishness — selflessness of the — and the sacrifices of the Americans who served, including my son, Major Beau Biden,’ the president added, quickly correcting his mistake.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken, sitting behind Biden as he spoke, was seen blinking and shifting uncomfortably in his seat as the president initially read his prepared remarks incorrectly.

Saturday’s regrettable slip-up was not the only blunder on Biden’s four-day swing through the Mideast, which included stops in Israel and Saudi Arabia.

On Wednesday, Biden was addressing Israeli leaders when he mistakenly vowed to ‘keep alive the truth and honor of the Holocaust’.

“True. It was probably the best shot the Liberal party has had or will have in a generation or more though, and it looks like they can’t be bothered to show up.”

Remember in October last year, not long after Groundhog Guy assumed the leadership yet again, there were mass freedom protests in Melbourne and the MSM smears began in earnest describing how the protesters were all far-right, white supremacist, neo-Nazi, anti-vaxxers and so on, and at one protest, amidst the thousands of people, there was a sole protester carrying a mock noose (I didn’t have a problem with that). Well, the MSM just loved this and it gave them more ammo to further screech, scream, smear, sully, slur and slander the protesters and so what did the great Victorian Liberal leader Matthew Guy do in the face of these lies? He forbade all Victorian state Liberals from appearing at any of the protests. Now a political leader with any spine, with any spirit and with any balls would have said to his troops that he expects every single on of them to be at the next freedom protest and he’ll lead the way. But Matthew Guy is no such leader, instead he is, as I described him earlier, a tinpot, thin-lipped, nasty little tyrant who’s far too concerned about his own image than the lives of ordinary Victorians. And just look at how he’s treated Bernie Finn. Matthew Guy is a real nowhere man, sitting in his nowhere land, making all his nowhere plans for nobody.

Andrew Bolt: 2021 Census reveals toxic new anti-white racism as Aussies call themselves black

This astonishing increase in the 2021 Census is dramatic evidence of Australia’s toxic anti-white racism — and the biggest spike was in Victoria.

The latest census, which revealed less than half of Australians identify as Christian, has caused “quite a stir”, with some claiming Australia is “abandoning God”.

It’s now so embarrassing to be white that another 90,000 Australians have decided to call themselves black instead.

Think of tens of thousands of more Bruce Pascoes.

Or let’s put it more kindly: it’s now so chic to be black that these 90,000 Australians have called themselves Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander for the first time in their lives in the latest census.

The 2021 Census is dramatic evidence of the toxic new anti-white racism – and of the growing fraud that comes from lavishing privileges on people claiming to be Aboriginal, with few questions asked.

This latest census says 812,728 people identified in 2021 as being of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander origin.

This is an astonishing 25 per cent increase on the 2016 Census.

Compare. The entire Australian population in those same five years rose just 8.6 per cent – and half that rise was actually caused by a million new immigrants.

There is no way the huge increase in self-described Aborigines and Torres Strait Islanders can be explained just by Aborigines having more babies.

Add the 85,900 Indigenous babies born between 2016 and 2021 and subtract an estimated 15,000 deaths and you still end up with 92,000 more Aborigines and Torres Strait Islanders than you’d expect.

This phenomenon is not new. The 2016 Census found at least 40,000 people who claimed to be Aboriginal or Islander but had likewise chosen not to in the previous survey.

Where did they all come from?

The media left brushes it aside as just the result of past racism, which made people too ashamed to admit they were Aboriginal.

“First Australians are increasingly comfortable in their own skin in the 21st century,” chirruped the Sydney Morning Herald.

But the anecdotal evidence suggests much race-shifting might have less happy explanations.

Take Pascoe. In 1988, the Canberra Times said his novel Fox, about a fugitive searching for his Aboriginality, would have been a better book had Pascoe not been white: “Pascoe is, after all, imagining the psyche of an Aboriginal person.”

Funnily enough, it was around then, says Pascoe, that he started to identify as Aboriginal, even though two Aboriginal groups call him a fraud and his genealogy shows every single ancestor is of English descent.

But now as an Aborigine, Pascoe has had wild success, hailed as an “elder”, promoted as an “Aboriginal historian” by the ABC, given grants for Aboriginal enterprises and made a professor of “Indigenous Agriculture” by Melbourne University.

Or take Professor “Aunty” Kerrie Doyle. She claimed to be of the “Winninninni” tribe, of which no trace is found in even Norman Tindale’s magisterial Aboriginal Tribes of Australia.

When I asked Doyle for proof, noting genealogical records suggested she had no Aboriginal ancestry, she refused and threatened to sue me.

Yet “Aunty” Doyle has won a scholarship for Aboriginal students to go to Oxford, and was made Professor of Indigenous Health at Western Sydney University.

In elite circles, Aboriginal is literally fashionable. In a now-deleted clip, supermodel Elle Macpherson boasted: “My eyes are almost black, that’s the Aborigine in me.”

Her sister later confirmed the family had no Aboriginal ancestry.

But even asking race-shifters for proof of their “race” is dangerous.

Eight years ago, Tasmanian senator Jacqui Lambie startled many by claiming she, too, was Aboriginal, citing some connection to a Tasmanian chief six generations ago.

When Clyde Mansell, then Tasmanian Aboriginal Land Council chairman, called her claims “totally unfounded”, Lambie threatened to sue him.

Perhaps Lambie really does have that ancestor, I don’t know, but is such a distant link enough for her to be Aboriginal?

Still, who can blame people from seizing any excuse – however remote or imagined – to stop being white?

Check woke bookshops that stock white-hostile titles such as White Fragility, or Back to Black.

Or consult the Journal of the American Psychoanalytic Association, which last year published an insanely racist paper calling “whiteness … a malignant, parasitic like condition” that “renders its hosts’ appetites voracious, insatiable”.

So no surprise that the biggest rises in people now claiming to be Aboriginal are in our wokest states.

In Victoria, the rise was a spectacular 37 per cent in five years. NSW was second with 29 per cent.

In contrast, the Northern Territory – with the biggest proportion of Aborigines – the rise was just 5 per cent.

The proof is now in. Race is increasingly a political construct, not biological.

So shouldn’t politicians spare us this madness by making race purely your private business, with no political or financial privileges at all?

Can’t believe the sultry Monica Belucci didn’t make the top 100, then again as Top Ender says: it’s in the eye of the beholder , thank heavens. Grace Kelly is my pick in this scene when she enters her room and turns just before she plants one on Cary Grant — her face is exquisitely beautiful.

Some organisation – can’t recall who or where – did a study once looking at where blokes’ eyes went when they were shown a pic of a beautiful woman. Can’t remember whether they were clothed or not.

The study found that most men looked first at the woman’s face.

I’m glad Grace Kelly is in the top ten. A few weeks ago I watched To Catch a Thief again and it was just wonderful. Grace’s beauty was staggering. Good genes, her father was of good Irish stock and her mother came from good German stock.

Burneycalls for calm in strife-torn Wadeye
Damaged housing in Wadeye, NT.

Indigenous Australians Minister Linda Burney has urged calm in the strife-torn remote Northern Territory Aboriginal community of Wadeye and blamed overcrowding for escalating social tensions that overflowed into ­violence earlier this year.

Her comments come after The Australian travelled to Wadeye last week as the first media invited to the community since an outbreak of violence in March saw armed mobs of up to 300 people battling in the streets.

More than 100 homes were damaged or destroyed, an estimated 500 people were displaced and a young man died in fighting that lasted several weeks.

Wadeye residents told The Australian the trouble was family fighting related to longstanding rivalries, exacerbated by boredom and economic decline.

Ms Burney on Sunday said the government was committed to supporting Wadeye and it needed better governance.

“I urge everyone in the community to stop the violence and bring peace back to Wadeye,” she said. “The Australian government is committed to supporting the local community and working with them and the NT government to find sustainable solutions to the many entrenched long-term problems.

“The local community needs support to develop better governance structures and change community norms. In close partnership with the NT government, we have helped establish the Mediation Engagement Group.” She said support was being given to families in Wadeye displaced by unrest in the town, and the government recognised the housing crisis in remote communities. “Overcrowding remains a huge problem for many remote communities, and in Wadeye overcrowding has contributed to already high social tensions. Labor is fully committed to investing $100m in housing and ­essential services in the homelands.”

Federal Labor MP for the outback NT seat of Lingiari Marion Scrymgour said the problems were deep-seated and complex and needed a careful response.

“That funeral (of the deceased young man) is coming up, and I think things will escalate again,” she said. “I know there are issues in Maningrida and some of the other communities, too.”

Ms Scrymgour suggested re­introducing a system of permits, enforced under the Aboriginal Land Rights Act, to give traditional owners the power to evict individuals or families who were causing problems in larger towns.

“If the traditional owners don’t want a group that’s causing a lot of problems, they could direct the Northern Land Council to act on their behalf,” she said.

She said there would need to be exemptions for media and other organisations.

CLP Senate candidate Jacinta Price says the violence in Northern Territory’s remote community of Wadeye is… unfortunately “not unusual” as hundreds attempt to flee. Nearly 40 homes have been burned or destroyed and up to 400 people have been displaced from the community. Ms Price said there are More

A spokeswoman for NT Chief Minister Natasha Fyles said the issues in Wadeye were “deeply entrenched cultural differences and conflict”.

“It won’t be fixed overnight,” she said. “There’s been a cross-­department response to the issues in Wadeye and as a government, we are supportive of police ­actions as a part of what is a very complex situation.

“We will continue to offer support to the community through a multi-department welfare response to ensure the safety and wellbeing of Wadeye residents.”

It comes as federal Liberal MP Julian Leeser reanimated concerns about the NT government’s decision to let alcohol restrictions lapse in some communities. “The latest decision by the NT government should be of concern to every Australian and why Prime Minister Albanese should intervene,” he said.

“The decision to require an opt-in to continue alcohol restrictions is supposedly driven by human rights principles, but this decision does nothing to provide protection for the people that need it most.

“The most vulnerable in those communities, men, women, and children, will be the most affected by the rushed way in which the transition from post-intervention alcohol restrictions in communities is being managed.”

Blanket alcohol bans imposed as part of the Howard government’s NT Emergency Response expired with federal Labor’s Stronger Futures legislation on July 17. Pre-existing bans will be back into force in many places, but some will have no alcohol restrictions unless they decide to opt-in to new ones.

“blamed overcrowding”…. 100 houses damaged or destroyed..does anyone else see the irony here?

A fundamental difference over money was the real reason behind Rupert Murdoch’s surprise divorce from former supermodel Jerry Hall, well-placed sources have said.

The Saturday Paper understands that simmering differences over the division of the Murdoch fortune were at the heart of the falling out between Murdoch and Hall.

Those differences have been growing since 2019, when Murdoch sold the bulk of his television and movie business, 21st Century Fox, to Disney in a $US71 billion deal.

That sale created a $12 billion windfall for Rupert’s six children, who each received Disney shares worth $2 billion.

“When the Disney payday came around, there was a view that Jerry should have been given something as Rupert’s custodian, which didn’t happen,” said a source aligned with the Murdochs and familiar with the dynamics within the family.

“I think you’ll find that’s what was at the centre of the issue. She’s saying she was wrong-footed by it – she probably was – but there’s no question Rupert looks at things in a very different way and money is at the centre of it.”

The source continued: “Jerry was constantly trying to work out ways to channel some of Rupert’s hard-earned through to her children with Mick. He turned the ATM off.”

My most recent memory has him demonstrating that he could hit the toilet block ceiling with a high-power golden jet.

Given age and prostates, I don’t expect him to repeat that at the reunion.

On the other hand, toilet ceilings are lower than they were in 1970.

Leading the way with inclusion

Committing to diversity and inclusion in the workplace isn’t just good for your employees – it can also help improve the bottom line.

A McKinsey study of more than 1,000 large companies across 15 countries reveals that 36 per cent of employers with a diverse workforce were more likely to have above-average financial returns.

???

As an investor, I would want that to be 99% of corporations.

Let’s be real here.

Diversity hires don’t work if they sacrifice merit. You might be better off with diversity. You get some fluent mandarin speakers talking to export clients and then speaking ocker at the pub with the other sales douchebags on Friday arvo. Let’s not go nuts here though. Choosing a more poorly qualified person with worse performance and less experience because what they (allege to) have between their legs? Dumb dumb dumb!

No one also talks about the “glass basement”. Men with low IQs do shitty work no one else wants to do, but it pays well (but also their charge out rates may be exorbitant). HQ might hire a few HR gals and token Indians, Asians and Aborigines and hey presto, this grease and shovel racket company has tip top financials and is very woke; hence wokism works? This will just prove the “gender pay gap is real 11!!!” once more, as women have a slightly lower average IQ and with less variance; the more women who are employed, the more competition the average IQ woman has!

Now you have to ask why they aren’t breaking the glass basement with their stilettos.
