Roger most sports administrators stuff everything they touch. Its the scotty from marketing approach. National bodies made up of not quite good enoughs dictating terms and conditions. I walked from watching cricket and rugby union. I walked from martial arts after it was being made into a sport. I sought out others who thought the same. Having people tell me I needed a licence to teach certain things. F Off in no uncertain terms. Falling out with so called friends when I disagreed with the approach taken. C’est la vie.

If they remove The Lord’s Prayer from the beginning of Parliament I actually have no trouble with this. It doesn’t make them better people, as we see every day, and they defile it when they say it.
Truth is, Australia is a secular country. Australians aren’t necessarily, but it is the posture that allows policy to best serve Australia’s Christians, atheists, and the various other creeds equally. Besides, I am not sure I would want to live in a country where the government had its own religious tenets that might be at odds with my own.
But at the same time the magic and mythology of Aborigines should be kept out of Parliament. Rainbow Serpents and mystical connections to the land can be a topic elsewhere but no special rights, privileges or gifts should be granted on that basis because they are beliefs of a transcendent nature that cannot be shown to be real.
Let them hold their ceremonies, recite their myths, let them have feelings that their hearts resonate in some special sympathy in certain places, as long as it is on the same basis as other people.
So we have moved on from a year of “silly hysterical wimmins and their bottom bits” to ‘Ok so it does affect periods, but its only mild’..

Does the Covid vaccine really affect your period? Here’s what our study found

The results are reassuring: the changes are small and short-lived, and other studies show the jab does not affect fertility
Only another 2 years to ‘ok so it did affect fertility, but only in rare cases”…
That is standard thinking. Surely it is racist to be speaking for the fuzzy wuzzies?
If there is national shame to be had and future generations warned against, sure. I think the Boche spent a fair bit of time on that sort of thing in the 20th Century’s latter decades.
Not this country, though. Nowhere near it. Not unless ‘national shame’ includes introducing the written word, clothes, permanent structures, more than doubling life expectancy, rah rah rah.

On Senate President Sue Lines not wanting to repeat each day the Lord’s Prayer.
The preamble of the constitution states the following:
Lines is not being asked to believe what she is saying; she’s just required to say it for, if not legal precept – (perhaps that preamble has legal standing on this?) – then, at least historical and cultural respect of Australia and the institutions that founded this nation.
As Australians, we are being asked to accept things we do not believe – sometimes for “diversity sake” – but all the time to allow those in charge to lord it over us.
So we’re being pushed to sign up to things like, “a man can be a woman…a rainbow is important for the mental health of a bunch of …” and “always was, always will be…” Or , in the new medico-fascism, “face masks save lives”.
I’ll let Lines off the hook when she, the MPs, and the bureaucrats let the people off the hook about every bull sh1t claim from them and their ilk. Until then…

This is the third anxious post from Monty; a perfect illustration of the difference between the Right and the Left.
Monty is ruled by the ABC who has told him to be very afraid, take the (so called) vaccines, covid is evil, covid is a killer (never mentioning that the average age of covid related deaths is 83). Isolate! Mask up! You’re going to die!
The sensible Right take sensible precautions according to their age and health, then go about their daily business. If they catch covid, they’re free to use any of the treatments available – including Ivermectin – because they’re not brainwashed by the minions of big pharma. Some, myself included, actually expose themselves deliberately to covid. Few live in fear of it.
The hysterical Left and the rational Right. Those who live by the ABC and those who scoff, ‘Is that true, or did your hear it on the ABC?’

So-called aboriginal “massacre” debunked in new book. Main witness wasn’t there.
The Edward White, that the old historians cite, is said to have arrived in Sydney, in July 1802, on the convict transport Atlas and was then transferred to Van Diemen’s Land, where he worked as a convict servant to one of the settlers. The authors demonstrate, through meticulous research, that the Edward White who embarked on Atlas in 1801 could not have been at Risdon Cove in 1804 because he never arrived in Sydney. He either died en route or was one of three who absconded in Rio de Janeiro.
They then painstakingly identify the real Edward White who testified in 1830, and prove that he did not arrive in the colony until 1806.

Dover – Just to let you know that for me the blog is not updating comments for hours on end.
It’s not my machine settings as far as I can tell, although haven’t tried a different browser. Hard refreshes don’t do anything. Have tried two separate machines (both Win 10), cleared cache and history and tried different IP address. Nothing works.
I put up the Lovelock comment earlier, there’d been no change in comments sine Rosie’s at 5:53am for a couple hours, and the comment didn’t appear. Nor any others. Stayed that way for another hour or so, but I see it did post at the time I submitted it.
I don’t know what the issue is, but it’s a dead loss as far as I go. I dimly recall this happened once or twice on Sinc’s Cat, but I can’t recall any details.
Lines is not being asked to believe what she is saying; she’s just required to say it for, if not legal precept – (perhaps that preamble has legal standing on this?) – then, at least historical and cultural respect of Australia and the institutions that founded this nation.
Hmm. I’m not sure about this. It’s similar at least to the Manly players being told to wear the rainbow jersey.
One difference is that she can still get a great wedge at taxpayers’ expense as a Senator without being President. So she could boycott the Lord’s Prayer by going back to the ranks without her career being destroyed.
But what if every Senator didn’t want to say the Prayer? I don’t think the President should be able to scrap it by unilateral fiat, but what if e.g. a majority wanted to do so?
Even though I’m a Christian and would prefer that the Lord’s Prayer stays, I’m with Mother Lode on this – if the Senate decide to scrap it, so be it. But not so it can be replaced by divisive racist “indigenous” confections.

Green Dreams, Inflationary Realities
We must find ways to combat climate change without incurring devastating inflation, greater class division, the immiseration of the middle class, and the destitution of the poor.
Global policy and politics, particularly in the high-income world, have been obsessed with dreams of a green economy. Imposing ever-more rigid methods to reduce greenhouse gas emissions as the way to “save the planet” is almost unchallenged in the media, academia, and corporate boardrooms of the developed world. The results on the ground have been less convincing, as the price of everything—from energy and food to construction costs—rises to unsustainable levels and international trade slows as global recession looms. Billions now face immiseration, malnutrition, or starvation. Economist Isabel Schnabel calls this process “greenflation”—companies’ efforts to reduce emissions have driven up prices, particularly since the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
This has caused tremendous price pressure on rare earths, copper, and other materials critical to the production of batteries. The green lobby and its media supporters, meanwhile, like to claim that renewable energy is now economically competitive. But in places where strict green energy policies have been introduced, people end up with skyrocketing energy costs. In California, residents pay up to 80 percent above the US national average for electricity. Reliance on wind power has made even Texas’s grid vulnerable. Rather than learn from these experiences, other states, notably New York, have decided to adopt similar policies.
The biggest losers from greenflation are predominately the largely powerless working class and the denizens of developing countries. But even energy rich and historically prosperous countries like Australia face severe price hikes and shortages, as do Canada and the US. Economies have been severely impacted, particularly the agriculture and manufacturing sectors.
– Looking backwards
– A changing political equation
Throughout the West, divergence between elite opinion and that of the vast majority is clear. Climate change activists, backed by the media, tech, and Wall Street elites, and numerous celebrities, may drive coverage and academic discourse, but Gallup notes that climate change ranks as the top priority issue for just two percent of Americans. Inflation leads economic fears with 18 percent, followed by the economy in general with 13 percent. Five percent are most concerned by gas prices. Now, nearly half of all small businesses say they fear inflation will force them into bankruptcy.
– Crisis in the developing world
– An unpalatable religion for most
One reason for this indifference, observes Joel Garreau, lies in how environmentalism has become what novelist Michael Crichton once called “the religion of choice for urban atheists.” Although many green predictions dating back to the late 1960s have turned out to be exaggerated or even plain wrong, this does not seem to trouble climate activists. Although natural resources did not run out but became more abundant, this did not shake the faithful.
Like Medieval Catholicism, the green faith foresees impending doom caused by human activity. In the Middle Ages, wrote Barbara Tuchman, “apocalypse was in the air.” The Final Judgement, brought about by human sin, was not only real but imminent. St. Norbert in the 12th century predicted that the event would occur within the lifetime of his contemporaries. Fueled by the same certainty, the greens have no more desire to debate policy than Medieval clerics.
– The need for autocracy
– Potential divisions in the green movement
– The adaptive alternative
With their eyes on the apocalypse, environmentalists often seem less concerned with adapting to climate change than waxing hysterical about it. Yet the current greenflation crisis could bring a better appreciation of the consequences of draconian and often ill-thought-out policies.
Presumably emboldened by the Rise of Therapeutic Albo, NAB has had Deloitte Access Economics read Australia’s Net Zero fortune.
Released today, All Systems Go tells us that by 2050, Australia must:
1) Apply $420 billion in new investment in enabling technologies:
– $100bn energy*
– $30bn “mobility”
– $50bn manufacturing
– $20bn food
– $200bn in [ahem] “enabling services” (which presumably includes a nice big wodge for Deloitte).
2) Manage $4 trillion (yes, the T number getting an early run here) in “core economic systems
that become low emissions“.
3) The expected benefit of “Australia’s ‘Great Reallocation’ of capital shifts”: $890bn added to GDP by 2070.**
Expect more of this self-interested Net Zero flag-waving from the financial services sector.
Also expect this to be quoted as evidence of ‘private sector enthusiasm’ for Net Zero.
Central Planning is a great thing if you are a central planner…
* Technical note: Using current technology, the cost of providing zero emissions energy at current demand levels is likely to be $600bn++.
** By 2070, the annual cost of replacing renewables infrastructure will be about $100bn. The additional cost of higher energy prices – as in 6 or 7x real – will also factor into GD, perhaps $200bn.

By drawing on the distinction between the efficacy and effectiveness of vaccines, it’s possible to argue that in NSW, rather than a pandemic of the unvaccinated, what we have witnessed is a pandemic of the triple-vaccinated.
Additionally, of the 142 dead, the vaccination status of 2 was not known. One hundred and eighteen of the remaining 140 – 84.3 percent – were at least double-vaccinated and 69 had received three doses of the vaccine: by far the biggest single cohort and almost equal to all the others combined. Hence the thought that perhaps what we are experiencing is a pandemic of the triple-vaccinated.

Over the years, there have been many calls for the prayer to be abolished, modified or replaced by an acknowledgement of the traditional Aboriginal owners of the land. In the aftermath of the 2010 general election, a minority government was formed in the House of Representatives following agreements between the ALP, the Australian Greens and certain independent members of the House. The terms of those agreements included a commitment to include an acknowledgement of country in the procedures of the Houses. On 26 October 2010, the Senate agreed, without debate, to include an acknowledgement of country after the prayer each day.

Imo the difference between the Senate President and the Manly 7 – is that she entered the Senate, like the rest of them did, with this convention in place, whereas the Manly 7 were never asked to accept through playing in a guernsy not of the club colours that they had been contracted to.
Lines doesn’t want to recite it – but has she said she will authorise another senator to do it in her place?
The Manly 7 have said they don’t want to play in this particular guernsey, not that no-one else cannot play in it.
One position had every bit the totalitarian bent to it, while the other position truly accepts diversity of opinion.
If we allow members of parliament and senators carte blanche to change anything they don’t personally like, then every principal and convention in this country will be gone in an instant.

She used to prate on and on about ‘certainty’ with the carbon tax. She felt that it was more important to come to a decision than to come to the right decision. That companies would prefer to be told that the tax would be $25 per tonne today than $10 per tonne in a few weeks.
Should have been $0, of course, but Labor had already committed to CO2 taxation once they identified how their government and the unions could sink their fangs in and slurp all that delicious money from the pulsing veins of the private sector.

A student who stabbed his classmate to death in broad daylight after she refused his marriage proposal should be executed on live TV, a judge in Egypt has said.
The gruesome murder of 21-year-old Naira Ashraf outside her university in northern Egypt by Mohamed Adel, 21, sent shockwaves across the country last month, The Sun reports.

What, in heaven’s name, are you talking about, monty?
And did this mass exodus of fans happen? Nope. And I reckon it won’t happen in this latest case either. There are less than 15% of population who somewhat regularly attend any church in Australia. And that number fell even further down in the last two years. Not sure if there will be enough rugby fans who have strong beliefs to walk away.
GayFL, for example, has all the woke bs rounds and people still go and take their kids with them. They might complain and grumble over a pint to their friends, but they still continue to support it.
That’s why I’m not sure I agree with this line from Credlin’s article:
What the zeitgeist fails to understand in this debate over cancel culture is the innate “fair-go” in the Australian character and the willingness of so many of us to want to reject being told what to think, what to say and now who we should worship.
Any real or made up (in most cases) issue that the zeitgeist promotes just needs to be framed correctly to be accepted, or at least not be openly opposed, by majority of Australians. “Oh, you don’t care about others, you granny-killer!?”
I hope I’m wrong about this, but the hope is dwindling fast.
Indolent:
Anyone remember the experiment done in the 80/90’s where they built a truncated version of this?
After the first couple of years, as the concrete continued curing, it sucked up the ?CO2 and the crops died?
Then they had to bring more in to make up the losses before the idiots inside karked it? Turns out Yoomans need CO2 too!
No lessons learned at all.
This is an absolute, shocking disgrace.
And the end result:
That would do wonders for the ratings – sport on Channel 1, a documentary on Channel 2, or an execution on Channel 3?

Reality is that after the “fairies” get hammered tonight all the “experts” will be laying into the NRL with, “It shouldn’t of happened, you should have seen it coming, you should have intervened” ..
cos, if Manly leaks a lotta points and either/both Canberra and/or the Dragons win the chances of Manly finishing in the top 8 are greatly diminished ..!
There used to be a time when “finals” thugby and winning the “premiership” trophy were what mattered most but that, of course, was before ‘diversity” became the real prize .. Manly finishing anywhere from 9 downwards will greatly increase their membership and fan base next season .. cos they stayed “strong” and stuck to their “principles” by throwing away any chance at success always appeals to folk .. worked for BRADBURY, why not for MANLY .. LOL!

Apparently she was part of a coterie of high profile wymminses who raised money to help the club when it was broke. However, things soured when the Penns took over the club.

From a linked article the other day:
This is not to suggest that we turn our backs on wind power. Clearly, the technology of turbines will improve over time. But until the capacity factor of turbines comes closer to rivalling that of conventional power plants, we ought to seriously consider putting their proliferation on ice.
I don’t know how the author plans on keeping the wind blowing more and turbines are already close to theoretical efficiency limits.

The AFR View – Is Labor’s agenda up to the task?
Unless everything goes right, Dr Chalmers’ economic statement may, in fact, be the start of a national realisation that the 2022 federal election campaign dodged the growth agenda Australia’s needs.
At least the 6.1 per cent annual inflation rate reported by the June quarter consumer price index came in a touch under expectations.
That has prompted financial markets to rule out a potential triple-sized 0.75 percentage point increase in the Reserve Bank’s 1.35 per cent cash rate on Tuesday next week.
Instead, a double-barrelled 0.5 percentage point increase – the third in three months – is now expected, with more to come.
Going into 2023, the official cash rate could easily increase to 3 per cent or more, similarly lifting mortgage rates for Australia’s highly-leveraged households. But even then, the real or after-inflation cash rate would be close to zero: hardly a hawkish credit setting.
The question is whether this degree of monetary policy tightening can get ahead of an inflation rate that today’s “confronting” statement from Treasurer Jim Chalmers may forecast to peak at higher than the Reserve Bank’s current 7 per cent prediction.
Yet, the updated forecasts to be included in Dr Chalmers’ “confronting” statement to parliament today are likely to include a relatively prompt return of inflation to within the Reserve Bank’s 2 per cent to 3 per cent target by 2024.
That would amount to an adept policy correction of Australia’s sharpest prices breakout since the inflation stick was broken during the early 1990s recession.
In turn, that forms the basis of the suggestion from both Dr Chalmers and Anthony Albanese that real or after-inflation wages will rise over Labor’s first three-year term, even after a “responsible” and “sustainable” real wage cut to start with.
While possible, this also rests on a relatively soft landing for the Australian economy, even after the sharpish downgrade in global growth prospects from the International Monetary Fund.
As The Australian Financial Review reports today, Dr Chalmers today will downgrade Australia’s economic growth forecasts for next financial year from 2.5 per cent to 2.0 per cent. That would likely only modestly increase the current 3.5 per cent jobless rate.
In the scheme of things – including the war in Ukraine and the global energy crisis – that would amount to a less-costly escape from the global pandemic than was feared at its outset.
Yet, the Treasurer also is expected to flag that the October budget will downgrade its medium-term productivity assumptions, making containment of the government public debt blowout even more challenging to correct.
The budget implications of Australia’s weaker trend productivity performance – highlighted at least three years ago by this masthead – need to permeate further through Australia’s public debate and the newly-elected government’s policy agenda.
Unless everything goes right, Dr Chalmers’ economic statement may, in fact, be the start of a national realisation that the 2022 federal election campaign dodged the growth agenda needed to support Mr Albanese’s promises to lift all boats.
His government has made a mostly solid start, including on energy and climate policy.
Yet, some early signs – including the dreadful appeasement of the law-breaking CFMEU – may sound the alarm that this will not be enough.
Maybe they don’t want to give that old Maori-Warringah stalwart, John Hopoate,
and excuse to pop around.

The two senators said the bill will raise $739 billion in revenue by IRS tax enforcement, closing the carried interest loophole and establishing a corporate minimum tax. Roughly $433 billion will be spent on energy and climate provisions, as well as an expansion of the Affordable Care Act.
“Democrats have already crushed American families with historic inflation. Now they want to pile on giant tax hikes that will hammer workers and kill many thousands of American jobs. First they killed your family’s budget. Now they want to kill your job too,” McConnell wrote.

Hunter Biden’s biz partner called Joe Biden ‘the Big Guy’ in panicked message after Post’s laptop story
By Miranda Devine
James Gilliar called Joe Biden “the Big Guy” on the same day The Post reported on Hunter Biden’s laptop.
“If they lose, honestly, I don’t think that the Big Guy really cares about that because he’ll be too busy focusing on all the other s–t he is doing.”
The identity of the “big guy” has since formed part of the grand jury investigation in Wilmington, Del. into Hunter’s business dealings — as calls ramped up to have President Biden, who has repeatedly denied any involvement in his son’s dealings, included in a conspiracy probe.
Gilliar had referenced the “big guy” as he acted as the driving force behind Hunter and his uncle Jim Biden’s planned multimillion dollar deal with Chinese energy conglomerate CEFC.
In an email to Hunter, Jim and other partners on May 13, 2017, Gilliar outlined an equity breakdown in which 10% of the lucrative CEFC joint venture would be held by Hunter “for the big guy”.
That email, which was previously revealed by The Post, was found on the laptop Hunter abandoned at a Delaware repair shop in April 2019.
Another former associate of the first son, US Navy veteran Tony Bobulinski, publicly declared in October 2020 that “big guy” was a reference to President Biden – and alleged Biden was aware of, and involved in, the planned CEFC deal.
I do not believe it is a God-given right, but I thank God every day for all the luck he has bestowed on me and my family.
BTW, my definition of luck in this instance includes countless occasions when things have simply ‘fallen into place’, or complex matters have been resolved, without our influence. Not full on miracles, just extraordinary, God-given luck.
Doubtless as part of ‘a cunning plan’.

Biden’s plan to boost inflation By Post Editorial Board
And they say liberals have no sense of humor. Faced with record inflation and terrible poll numbers, Democratic leaders say they’ve reached a deal for even more taxes and spending. Get this, they’re calling it the Inflation Reduction Act. Ha!
We can only imagine that Sen. Joe Manchin said yes because he thought it was a joke. Certainly the American people won’t be laughing. The bill would increase taxes through various so-called “reforms” and “loophole” closures — which really means more IRS audits on the little guy.
The spending will go to subsidies for ObamaCare, which has proven it can’t survive without them. And hundreds of millions in subsidies for solar and wind power, which also can’t survive without them.
They call it a bill to fight climate change. It’s transferring taxpayer money to Democratic-backed companies that would otherwise fail.
The Inflation Reduction Act — a punchline, and a punch in the face to Americans.
I’m loving Rick Stein’s India on SBS Food. I didn’t know, for example, that what we now know as Indian spices – cardamon, cumin, pepper, etc – were brought to India by Syrian traders in the third century AD.
The one thing the Indians didn’t borrow from the English colonists who came later was Western food hygiene, which is why the joint is still a hotbed of disease – which Stein of course ignores, preferring to see the Indians as noble savages.

This assumes that people to the Right of politics are “lucky” and those to the Left are not. It is also not clear what form this “luck” takes. “Luck” in a financial sense may have something to do with hard work, but even those who work very hard can be unlucky.
A lot of this lucky-unlucky stuff is rooted in envy/covetousness and has less to do with politics and more to do with the individual’s moral compass.
That doesn’t mean that a certain element of politics has not made covetousness and jealousy and dissatisfaction an art form and political tool. They most certainly have.

WHO on monkeypox: Gay men should maybe consider limiting their sexual partners
A running debate about public health messaging on monkeypox has been playing out in my social media feed the past few weeks, although it’s a lopsided one. On one side are public officials like this nitwit, who seem concerned first and foremost with fighting the “stigma” of a disease that thus far has afflicted almost exclusively gay men:
If you’re wondering how prudently Vasan handled the emergence of a different virus that placed another vulnerable community at risk of being stigmatized, the answer is: Exactly as you’d expect.
The “stigma” obsessives remind me of the epidemiologists who turned on a dime in the summer of 2020 from insisting on rigorous social distancing to prevent the spread of COVID to justifying massive civil rights gatherings after George Floyd’s death in the belief that racism was a more serious health risk than the novel coronavirus. If, in the midst of a national epidemic, your priorities run towards politics more so than controlling the outbreak, then you’re not doing your job. Run for office if you want to bloviate about stigma and prejudice. Worry about transmission if you want to manage public health.
Not quite all of us.

Michael Shellenberger, author of the great analysis of how munty’s mates, the left, have fucked the US, San Fransicko, is interviewed in detail about how the left is fucking the US and the West:
It’s the idea that you can divide the world into victims and oppressors, and that people are frozen in those identities by nature of their identity or experience. To victims, everything should be given and nothing required. Furthermore, progressives think they must take revenge against the so-called victimizers by taking from them and redistributing to the victims. This victim ideology is central to the destruction of our cities.
It depends on what type of “sheep” you consider yourself to be.

It’s a disease that kills children.
Why both my grandchildren are vaccinated against it, and daughters got vaccinated while pregnant.

As CL mentioned the obvious question is was she vaccinated ? Then we have the obvious question of whether the Medical authorities would even tell us if they knew she was recently vaxxed. Might make some people think a bit more.
