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.
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.

the election in May wasn’t all bad- as for the Vicco libs, you wouldn’t piss on them if they were on fire and the NSW libs are no different.
That Exceedingly Stupid Guy running the SFLs in Victoria has just ensured that I will vote for no-one in November.
If I wanted 50% emissions reduction by 2030 I would vote Green. ESGuy is guaranteeing the obliteration of any visible opposition in Victoria.
Visible = viable.
Lawyers are learned mongs who think if it’s written it must happen.
Not phased by the inability for a law against murder to stop all murders they turn their reality bending “ law” onto the world of energy production and dispatch.
Of ALL the things that need desperate attention in Sicktoria, (wasteful spending, Vikpol, and union coordinated Govt corruption just for starters) the SFL’s find a leftard issue that doesn’t even fkg exist to hang their hat on. Seriously, if breathing didn’t come natural to this clownshow, they’d all suffocate.

Same here.
But I think all of us who think that way need to flood Guy’s inbox with messages saying what we’re doing and why.
I’m old enough to remember the dying days of the Fraser Government- Ian McPhee, John Menadue and Jerzy Zubrzycki. It was real hard left stuff that they came up with. Amazing that I continued to vote LNP for decades. I suppose it was ‘labor is worse’ but even that doesn’t cut it anymore.
generating a sense of crisis so people will demand “solutions” is not a basis for government
navigating our way out of the age of “nudge” and “spin”
I’ve already done that and also sent one to the LNP candidate going up against Labor in my electorate.
If they are so utterly brain dead that they cannot learn from the mistakes of others ie Zac Kirkup, then they are too dumb to deserve my vote.
““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.”
Faaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrk. Any party that supports that does not deserve to be in government. Groundhog Guy is a miserable, spineless, thin-lipped dullard.
I pity Victorians.
Cassie, how is Parrotwerp any better?
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.

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.
Confirmed then; you’re a liar. And a rather pathetic liar at that.

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’.

For the first 50 years of my life most people drove after a few, say .08 or so, I certainly did from the day I was 17 until around 60 when I pretty well stopped drinking. Never had an “at fault” accident.

Just saw this. As Tom said, if got early prognosis can be very positive. My brother had a mini-stroke about a month ago, he got onto it early and was back home the next day. Never ignore the early signs, like loss of control or poor motor control of one side of the body, droopy face on one side, and the like. Always worthwhile having an aspirin handy and call the ambulance straight away.
Hope you’re better soon, Steve.

How about that?
“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.

Australian TV advertising is now a neverending commercial for what self-hating white Green-voting athiest “creatives” see as our future – a matriarchy where, instead of actually making and doing stuff, men simply shop for their African-born brown-skinned wives at outlets approved by the Chinese Communist Party and, of course are happy owning nothing – home ownership being an indicator of white supremacy.

It’s almost as if Victoria’s Stupid Fucking Liberals have are running a masterclass on how to wipe out the party’s parliamentary representation like Zack Kirkup did in WA.

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?

Australian TV advertising is now a neverending commercial for what self-hating white Green-voting athiest “creatives” see as our future – a matriarchy where, instead of actually making and doing stuff, men simply shop for their African-born brown-skinned wives at outlets approved by the Chinese Communist Party and, of course are happy owning nothing – home ownership being an indicator of white supremacy.
FMD, Australian advertising creatives are ramming their pointless, rudderless , godless consumerism down our throats 24/7 … in 30-second bites. Watch it and tell me I’m wrong.
Another great reason not to watch TV which I stopped doing years ago. I just wish the legacy meja would hurry up and die. It’s taking much much longer than I thought it would. I have had some acquaintance with people in advertising- shallow and brain dead.
Not sure why Douglas Murray went there.

Around 70 is par at the par 72 Old Course at St Andrews because, if you’re trying to win the British Open, you have to birdie the two par 5s to be competitive.
Leader Rory McIlroy (-16) will be treading water if he shoots 70 and finishes on -18.
That means Brisbane’s Cameron Smith (-14), who stumbled yesterday with a 73, needs to shoot at worst a 6 under 66 under Sunday pressure to catch the leaders.
Smith will win a major one day, but not tonight. I hope I’m wrong.
” I have had some acquaintance with people in advertising- shallow and brain dead.”
There are exceptions….Rowan Dean once worked in advertising. He was good too.
Maths fail: Cameron Smith is on -12, not -14. The other math is correct: IMO, he needs to shoot 66 tonight to have a chance of winning.

Laugh it up Farmer Gez. Hunter gathering is no walk in the park. Or is it?
Yes, bear, Dub was in the mix so to speak – tough audience.
Cassie, I’ve always found it hilarious that armchair communist Philip Adams (rather like Rowan Dean) spent his entire working life in advertising promoting capitalism.
Ideology is evidently a tradeable commodity – especially if you’re a communist who believes he’s his own god.
Put two identical goils in front of me, one blonde, one brunette, I’ll go the latter every time.
This is not rocket science. The most beautiful goils/women I’ve beheld in my life have been brunettes.
You disappoint me, Wally (again) …
Do people think the global protests might get coverage after the Dutch and other pollies are strung up from lamp posts?
Philip Adams, who made some of his money writing books full of jokes he’d collected from other people, has an enormous collection of Egyptian items, many robbed from the tombs of dead fellows. It includes a sarcophagus, and, Wiki tells us “Adams collects antiquities from many “dead civilisations”, including sculptures and artifacts of Egyptian, Roman, Greek, Etruscan, South American and other indigenous cultures’ origin.”
Bit un-PC. When does he plan to return all this stuff?
Been watching the Outer Range this afternoon.

No, but then the collapse of those loathsome collectivist regimes in the East took at least several weeks.
Although I’m beginning to wonder if what replaced the soviet mediocrity has proven to be worse.
A list of the top 100 most beautiful women of all time can be found here. The top 10 are:
1 Audrey Hepburn
2 Grace Kelly
3 Cindy Crawford
4 Sophia Loren
5 Marilyn Monroe
6 Angelina Jolie
7 Catherine Zeta Jones
8 Diana, Princess of Wales
9 Halle Berry
10 Scarlett Johansson
Then again, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Number 99 is Paris Hilton, who’s a stick insect.
Gentleman’s Journal has pix. Their number 1 is Grace Kelly.
Milton, Cossack was named and sent to solitary confinement for 10 months (I think) for the heinous crime of naming a Pedo
Phillip Adams is a liberal. A progressive liberal, sure, but a liberal nonetheless.
The above doesn’t make sense but he named a Pedo
There are exceptions….Rowan Dean once worked in advertising. He was good too.
Inspite of Singo’s ALP phase, he brought us a great radio station for many years.
Four (or five?) episodes in. The ten year old goil observing that a “hippie chick” had been existing in one of the outer pastures jarred somewhat.
Josh Brolin is always watchable – the other characters, not so much (especially the sons, who are crying out for their pointless lives to be brought to a long overdue end), with the exception of Imogen, the aforementioned hippie chick – she’s intriguing in a Maggie Rogers type way.
Fail.
They’ve left out my wife.
Most of them would be brunettes. So hold the talky thingee, I tells ya.
Not vaccinated, no masks, no deaths. The 13,000 strong example from Indonesia:

Critical Incident – Central Australia
Northern Territory Police are responding to a critical incident involving the deaths of three people at a property about 25 kilometres north of Alice Springs.
Police received a report at around 2.30pm this afternoon that the bodies of two adults and an infant had been found at the location.
A crime scene has been declared and Regional Crime is investigating the deaths.
Strong list from the Gentlemen’s Quarterly. Grace Kelly is a magnificent choice. Not just stunning, she appears to have been a real character. Still, I do have a soft spot for Penelope Cruz.
A list of beautiful women that includes Marilyn Monroe but not Liz Taylor?
Absurd.
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.
My wife is a brunette.
With the most beautiful almond shaped brown eyes you can imagine.
OOpps This scene
Old news, babies blood if I recall
Murray is a never-Trumper. His brain is rotting.
Proving my point, again. MM is about as overrated as it gets.
If Kate Bush is not on that list, I’ll be going medieval on the house sized backsides of the idiots responsible for it.
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.
The world is full of such female toys whose only function is leg-opening.
PS Johanna: Elizabeth Taylor was just a high-class leg-opener. And her beau, Richard Taylor, lied for a living. Admire them at your peril.
Sorry, white bread Grace Kelly does nothing for me.
Lauren Bacall – now there was a woman!
Indeed – and beauty is all about symmetry of the face, apparently.
Objective, subjective, whatever. I know what I like when I see it. 🙂
Wolfie’s recent Bogie thread found me essaying his appearances with the Bacall. She was certainly very striking in her day.
Tommy ranks her. Whether that’s a good or bad thing, I’ll leave to other Cats.

But hopefully with less pool party and more hanging from lamp post.
“A list of the top 100 most beautiful women of all time can be found here. The top 10 are:”
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.
Katherine Hepburn.
Don’t argue.
Beautiful throughout her life.
Love them gravelly voiced women.
Hepburn in a tennis skirt. AAAh!
Having brains and athletic ability were a disadvantage apparently.
“blamed overcrowding”…. 100 houses damaged or destroyed..does anyone else see the irony here?
Vivien Leigh.
Miss Ellie being of course, way too contemporary for such frippery. 🙂
In what bizarre parallel universe?
Mother Theresa
Hedy Lamar. And Ava Gardner. And Cyd Charisse.
All of them absolutely breathtaking.
Lauren Bacall was an exquisite female beauty — and exceptionally patient, putting up, however fleetingly, with a drunk like Humphrey Bogart.

These lists generally overlook the reality that there are beautiful women, and there are attractive women. Not all of the beautiful ones are attractive.
Exquisite.
The Anderson and the Butler knew their beauties when they saw them, having the pick of the bunch as they did.
Just another Hollywood fruitcake.
they left out whole of government approach. what utter bs

She was but she was beautiful in her prime, like Grace Kelly, jaw droppingly beautiful.

Leading the way with inclusion
Nina Hendy
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.
However we do really, really respect the elders, past, present and emerging.
Great job fellas.
While the other 64% that didn’t got by without.
Or the other 64% that had a diverse workforce had mediocre or below average financial returns.
Idiots.
Rabz, count my vote for reggae.

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.
McKinsey’s eh? Buttplug’s former employer.
