Dover:
Yep – correct. They changed it in 2017:
Subdivision (8C) of the Crimes Act 1958 contains four separate incest offences depending on the relationship between the accused and the complainant. These are:
Sexual penetration of a child or lineal descendant (s50C);
Sexual penetration of a step-child (s50D);
Sexual penetration of a parent, lineal ancestor or step-parent (s50E);
Sexual penetration of a sibling or half-sibling (s50F). -
In Straya it’s a no-no for lineal family – sons, daughters, nephews etc – but step-family members are (legally) on the table.
Element 3: The parties must have been in a prescribed family relationship
The relationship between the complainant and the accused must be one of the following:
The complainant was the accused’s child or was reputed to be the accused’s child.
The complainant was the child of the accused’s de facto spouse.
The complainant was the accused’s father, mother, other lineal ancestor, step-father or step-mother or was reputed to be the accused’s father, mother, other lineal ancestor, step-father or step-mother.
The complainant was the accused’s sister, half-sister, brother or half-brother or was reputed to be the accused’s sister, half-sister, brother or half-brother.
Under Incest law, adopted children are considered to be children of both adopted and birth parents. -

Greay Ranga:
Vest and Y fronts, close your eyes and think of England, Lizzie.
The Britons who conquered the known world didn’t find Y fronts and vests to be an insurmountable problem.
Nor did their women.
Just remember that a Pharaonic concubine would have been indistinguishable from a modern day birthing person. -
I’m getting flashbacks…

Helen:
I’m more curious about why you felt a need to know that it’s legally permissible.
Some day the yuman race will admit it is no more than a bonobo monkey and will fuck anything.
The difference is about how civilised it sees itself.
Civilisation/Socialisation is the crucial difference.
I have no dog in this fight – just wondering where it goes… -

I looked. Eeeeeew!Now to delete my browsing history.
League of gentlemen summed up the swinging scene beautifully in the series.
it really was an astonishingly funny show.
Little touches like the porno version of their theme tune.

Totally normal.
Translation:
Make no mistake: The great Russia is conducting a battle to the death against the West, but what will be the price if we lose? Our immortal souls will be despoiled and cast into Hell if these satanists prevail! The West itself is founded on the principle of universal sodomy. Remember that the first act of the French Directory was the legalization of homosexuality; remember that British King William recruited boys from the oligarchs’ rebellion as his lovers, to say nothing of the Greek pederasty that inspired the British school system; remember too that the colonists in Roanoke went into the wilderness to commit bestiality with the barbaric natives. Defeat in the special military operation will mean that NATO soldiers, the majority of whom are mulattoes, will go from house to house all over Russia, brutally anally raping everyone on their masters’ orders! Of course it’s better to die in battle for the glory of God than to be thrown into this pit of vipers!
(Come for the homophobia, stay for the racism?)
This is, do not forget, a guy who may or may not be Vladimir Putin’s “whisperer” as some claim, but who headed a political think tank at Moscow State University until 2014, authored a textbook that became part of the curriculum at Russia’s military academies, advised several top members of the Russian political elite, and arguably played a key role in the launch of Putin’s “Novorossiya Project” in Eastern Ukraine that set the stage for the current invasion.

A curious thought occurred to me as I perused some of the James Webb pictures.
We may be nothing in the universe, but what would we do – as a species – if a bug said to us “Please don’t step on me.” -
Transferring some bookmarks from an old pc and came across this beauty I saved:
Check out the last sentence:
“Vaccines against COVID-19 are about 90 percent effective at blocking coronavirus infections.”

My impression was that if a person in Saudi Arabia felt their hands were unclean, they gave you a wrist shake.
The concept of an ‘elbow bump’ meant they believed BOTH hands were unclean.
WTH? -
Why do I get the impression that sellers have a desperate need for cash?
I’m being bombarded with ads for goods at prices that weren’t even thought of a year ago.
2Gb USB memory @<$1.00
Home security systems for <$20.?
It's as if they are desperate for foreign currency. And I mean Really desperate. -

Seconds later, the footy callers on the radio said they briefly went out at Docklands stadium
That little flicker left a 60 storey apartment building without ground floor lights carpark roller doors and security.
The delay in control systems restarting had the kitchen exhaust fans go off in the retail section and cooking smoke set the fire alarms off so as usual 3 fire trucks arrived
When I got to site all I had to do was dodge a collapsed drunk mole on the concourse while parking, ignore the 8 African yoof fucking around in the de-powered revolving doors and get to the basement to manually drive an MCB which had decided to turn off for no reason.
But don’t listen to me when I tell youse it’s a shit-hole … I’m just some dumb arse from Chelsea that they call when stuff needs fixing.

I didn’t realise the Palace Chook was a transvestite male until I saw her in the photo accompanying this article.
She looks like a bloke who had his upper lip waxed yesterday and is wearing a cheap dirty blonde wig. Yikes.

Some good news on the grain front provided it gets to the needy.
Russia’s projected grain harvest.This year’s production is expected to reach a record 138 million tons, market researcher IKAR says.
“The forecast for the wheat crop has been increased from 88.7 million to 90.5 million tons, the estimate of gross grain harvest – from 133.5 million to 138.5 million tons,” IKAR CEO Dmitry Rylko told Interfax on Thursday.
The forecast echoes an earlier statement of President Vladimir #Putin, who said the wheat harvest could be the biggest “in the entire history of #Russia.” At the time, citing preliminary data, Putin said the results could allow Russia “not only to meet domestic needs with a margin but also to increase supplies to the global market for our partners, which is very important for the world food markets.”
Russia’s biggest grain harvest ever was recorded in 2017 – 135.5 million tons, including 86 million tons of wheat.Russia is projected to retain its leadership in the world’s wheat market in the coming years

On crop matters, we could do with some rain in our parts and further afield I think.
It’s been a dryish and very cold winter so far. The growth in crops has really slowed down as the overnight frosts and cold days take their toll.
Ditto for pasture growth, not keeping pace with stock grazing, so most farmers are still providing hay and grain to keep the animals in good condition.

Cold Winter.
If we take KD’s old stamping ground around Warracknabeal the stats show the chill.
June 21 Mean Max 15.1
June 22 13.4July is running about the same so far with cold weather expected all this week after a cold front sweeps through today.
Climate change porn on TV with heat waves and fires in the EU but not a mention of freezing your arse off elsewhere. -

Thanks Tom.
I reflect back on the terrible scrutiny Trump’s family endured, even analysing his ten year old son’s possible “autism”.

Hiding behind a pseudonym
Flamer spook flamer flamer spook likely, I’d say, I’d assume and probably.
Your pseudonym still has a lot of making up to do over Joe Burns (Burnsy!) and Bert Ironmonger. If I was responsible for that, along with HMAS Sydney and your anthropology insights I’d be anonymous too, and desperately so.
The shame of walking through the shops with little children yelling out ‘That’s the Captain Detmer gypsum mutton man’ would be far too much to bear.

KD’s old stamping ground around Warracknabeal
Was having a cricket-themed conversation yesterday with a bloke. Turned out he was from Boort.
After some discussion on flat wheat-and-sheep country (yes I know, barely and canola) and frost, we agreed that it would have been good weather out on the Lake. He asked me if I skied.
‘No’, I said. I then called him a ‘richie’ because his family had a ski boat.
Further discussion ensued. Some things never change.

I’m amused that the usual suspects are still trying to gaslight us about monkey pox, when data like this is so clear:
Data: NYC Monkeypox Infections Overwhelmingly Found in Men (Newsmax, 15 Jul)
New York City remains the highest single locality for monkeypox in America — 321 men, but no confirmed cases among women. The remaining 15 cases either involve transgender persons or cases where the person’s gender is unknown.
…
Also, every confirmed case of monkeypox in New York City has an age range of 20-69, with 35 being the median age.According to the NYC Health data, there are more than 11,000 worldwide cases of monkeypox, including 1,470 in the United States.
And similar to the New York City breakdown, nearly every monkeypox case has been confirmed in a male.
Heterosexuals have largely avoided the virus, with only two confirmed cases among that group.
Yet WHO is going to have another emergency meeting about the pox this coming week. They all so want another pandemic before the midterms.

Cloudless pale blue skies here. It has been the coldest winter of my nine years here at the Bay, and the wettest.
Two years ago a fire was raging in the wetlands not half a kilometre away and we were making plans for a quick departure. I have no doubt the cycle will repeat itself in the next ten years.

Wonders will never cease. I checked the nem and wind power is producing 6.2 GW of power! That’s 75% of its installed capacity. You don’t often see that. Last week it was down under 1GW. That difference in load is the equivalent of two Loy Yang A. A lot to be made up when the windmills are not working.

Same here. It’s hard to believe that only few years ago we were in serious drought and the air was choked with bushfire smoke for many weeks. Had to keep the house sealed up, and regularly hose the garden plants to keep their airvent thingies from getting fatally blocked.
I was reading about the current ‘heatwave’ in the UK and how the usual suspects are lecturing the public. Just like they do here when summer arrives, as though nobody knows to drink water and stay out of the midday sun.
People in the UK with more than the memory of a goldfish are reminding us about 1976, when the warm weather went on for three weeks.
Three weeks of warm weather!
I know. It’s a miracle that anyone survived.

And while I endure winter chills here, Katie is having fun in the sunshine.
It’s hot in England and cold here. It’s a deep mystery. What on earth could be the reason? 😀
