vr, Re econtalk, I’ve been a fan since Russ started the podcast and until the past few years have probably listened to every episode, unfortunately, since around 2019 Russ moved away from how the world works and his guests have become more gently woke and often drivel on about things that I have little interest in. When Wuflu took off Russ became a full on Covid maniac, he somehow completely lost his mind over it.
There wasn’t even a whiff of scepticism in his shows and his guests generally reflected that, Nassim Talib was on one show and he is almost unhinged when it comes to covid (and AGW), Russ sucked it all in and agreed furiously with everything he said. The only guest he has had on that pushed back on Russ’s covid mania was Don Boudreaux, Don and Russ go back a long time and both hosted the Cafe Hayek blog for many years. I think Russ was a little taken back by Dons forceful and reasonable arguments, it seemed to be a surprise to him. In the last few weeks Russ’s guests have improved somewhat and I’m listening again. I hope he can get his common sense back and get good guests on the world and how it works and fewer soft lefties. I don’t mind if he gets hard lefties, I like to hear them challenged but with the soft ones, Russ just turns to mush.

Today in “No Evidence of Vote Fraud 2020” we have testimony from a computer systems expert about the connectivity of certain machines. This is devastating for media schmucks like Piers Morgan (but he’s not alone in this) who shot himself in both credibility feet by saying there was no evidence!
The machines can be hacked inside ten minutes and yes, they are connectible to the internet!

‘Activist’ states back gender clinics after British Tavistock Clinic is closed
State health ministers are resisting calls for an independent review into gender clinics and their use of puberty blockers on children, as the peak body for general practitioners says the nation’s transgender health centres are overwhelmed by long waiting lists.
The Victorian, Queensland and Tasmanian health ministers have stood by their state’s gender clinics, saying they operate to “stringent safety standards” in the wake of the ordered closure of Britain’s Tavistock Clinic over concerns about the safety of children in their care.
The world-leading clinic was forced to shut its doors last week after a review raised concerns that young patients were being referred down a “gender affirming” path too quickly and that there was insufficient evidence as to the long-term impacts of puberty blockers.
Health Minister Mark Butler refused to comment on the calls from some physicians for a review into gender clinics. The findings of Dr Hilary Cass are likely to apply equally in Australia, the physicians argue.
The Victorian government defended the Royal Melbourne Hospital’s gender clinic, saying its doctors do an “outstanding job”.
“The national standards ensure that children who are treated at gender clinics are protected by the most stringent safety standards,” a spokesman said.
Queensland Health Minister Yvette D’Ath has also backed the treatment offered to trans children in her state as being approved by leading experts.
“The care provided to children diverse in gender by the Queensland Children’s Gender Service is driven by the Australian Standards of Care and Treatment Guidelines,” she said.
The Tasmania health department said the Tasmanian Gender Service provided care consistent with national guidelines and would “adjust accordingly to ensure best practice care is maintained”.
Asked if the Coalition supported a review, opposition health spokeswoman Anne Ruston said the “safety and wellbeing of the young patients must always be our primary concern”.
NSW Health Minister Brad Hazzard was contacted for comment.
Tasmanian Liberal Senator Claire Chandler accused state and territory leaders of taking an “activist” position on what should be a health issue.
“The state governments need to stop taking this activist position ignoring that there is a problem and instead have a serious conversation about why we are seeing this number of kids with gender dysphoria,” she said
Royal Australian College of General Practitioners president Karen Price has disputed that a review was necessary in Australia, saying the Cass review offered a “lesson for everyone” in the importance that clinics had the resources to keep up with demand.
Dr Price said GPs could be better used to treat trans and gender diverse people while patients wait up to nine months to see specialists.
“These patients can be chaotic and they miss appointments and then they get put on the waitlist and I’ve had patients that are forced to wait eight or nine months,” she said.
“Gender identity is an important area to get right so we are doing the right thing by patents.”

I’ve just tried to post the Janet Albrechsten piece from The Oz but I can’t…strange. Anyway, JA has written a very good piece in today’s Oz. The Liberals have already stuffed up the “Voice” response by once again doing what they do best…which is to sit on the fence, too scared of their own shadow. The Liberals don’t know whether they’re Arthur or Martha.
As I’ve written before, the Liberals will prevaricate, quibble and vacillate, all because they’re scared of being smeared as waaaaaaciiiiiiiist by MSM scum. If they had any spine they’d wear such smears as a badge of honour and use that to counter attack the left. But they don’t and they won’t.

ONE Aussie won’t be asking for fries with that after copping a hefty $2600-plus fine for bringing undeclared McDonald’s Indonesia goodies into Australia.
A passenger who recently travelled to Darwin from Indonesia was found to be carrying two egg and beef sausage McMuffins from McDonalds in Bali and a ham croissant.
The undeclared breakfast fare was among a variety of “risk” items sniffed out by detector dog Zinta.
The products will be tested for foot and mouth disease (FMD) before being destroyed.
The meal, which would cost around $10AUD, will leave the passenger $2664 out of pocket.
I’m amused that some mob has recently started putting software only locked purple electric bicycles near the paths I like to walk and ride on. I wonder when the inevitable will happen?
Bye Bird Bird (Daniel Greenfield, 31 Jul)
No Big Tech bet on the real world was as omnipresent, at least in major cities, as annoying and as senseless as Bird scooters.
Convinced that the end of cars were here and that everyone wanted to ride around on app-based scooters, the streets filled with Bird scooters and then other electric bike companies, which were soon vandalized and sent to ‘Bird graveyards.’ Widely hated and heavily financed, the end of the Bird is here.
…
Why in the world did investors assume that having unattended scooters locked by apps lying everywhere was a great business model that would yield massive returns?
The answer is mostly cultural. This was the world how urban lefties envisioned it, and it didn’t matter that it had no connection to how people actually wanted to live.
A couple years ago another mob called obike went bust leaving big piles of dockless bicycles in several countries. The photos as in this version of the story were hilarious and disturbing. They ended up in rivers, parks, up trees and all sorts of strange places. They weren’t used much. Several other bike share companies also went bankrupt, as I recall.
Yet lefties persist with this weird lack of understanding of human nature, as evidenced by the purple ebikes now sitting hopefully around Lake Macquarie.

sfw – I don’t follow econtalk, but I understand the reference to the impact of Nassim Taleb on Russ & the podcast.
Taleb was, & still is, fixed in his paranoia concerning Covid. Initially, in early 2020, he convinced me that the virus emanating from Wuhan was something akin to the Spanish flu in its virulence. He argued that it was a matter of numbers (viz re how contagious) & disputed (violently) the argument of mathematician John Ioannides that it was not.
Ultimately, Ioannides was proved correct, although the narcissist Taleb still refuses to concede the argument.
Dover Beach:
Please ban Calli until she demonstrates better driving technique by running over girlymen.

Winston, if you could extract the batteries and detonate them one at a time behind your spaceship it’d be like an Orion pusher craft.
I really don’t know how the business model can possibly work. I’ve never seen one of the critters actually being ridden yet, although they’ve only been around for a month or so. They must report electronically to home base so that someone can come collect them to be recharged. Which means the company is outlaying salaries for wukkas to do that, and fuel to go around the widely distributed constellation of ebikes to collect them. How can they make a profit doing that? No one is going to spend the sort of money required to hire the things that the cost base implies is needed.
“One area now has no doctors: three from one and one from another on the same (I assume in a small) area.”

If the WEF get their way and all property is rented not owned, it will be easier for a central government to cede all property to Australian indigenous persons.
Far fetched but not inconceivable.
Look notafan I too am sceptical of most of these stories but there are so many of them now, something is up.
If “strenuous exercise” is the reason, why aren’t athletes routinely dying in large numbers at every Ironman or Olympic Games?
There is something exceeding mere chance going on.
It is also very bizarre that such coincidence occurs that a doctor in their 40s has terminal cancer etc each time one of these vaccine injury clusters is “deboonked”.
“These fit and healthy medical practitioners all just happened to have a terminal illness cluster where they have had more boosters than primary vaccines and it looks like a vaccine injury cluster, what a coinkydink!”
What, every single time!?
Yep, OSC.
“Always was, always will be Aboriginal land” is a nifty way to tear up deeds and start rent payments, and it will eventually lead to defaults and evictions.

New research links COVID spike protein to heart damage (29 Jul, Israel National News)
New research presented at a meeting of the American Heart Association this week and not yet peer reviewed has linked the spike protein of the coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, to heart muscle injury via the inflammatory process.
…
“It’s already known from the clinical side that COVID-19 infection can induce heart injury, however, what we don’t know is the mechanistic details of how this occurs. What we suspect is that the spike protein has unknown pathological roles,” said Zhiqiang Lin, Ph.D., lead author of the study and an assistant professor at the Masonic Medical Research Institute in Utica, New York. “Our data show that the spike protein from SARS-CoV-2 causes heart muscle damage.” … “We found direct evidence that the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein is toxic to heart muscle cells.” Damage observed included heart dysfunction, enlargement, and cardiac inflammation, observed both in humans and in lab mice.
What they cutely don’t mention is that (a) Covid only rarely infects the heart, since it mainly causes respiratory damage and (b) that the vaccines do contact the heart in varying amount depending upon whether they are injected near a vein. I suspect they dare not mention this in their paper since if they do it’d get booted immediately. As it is the link is so obvious I don’t like their chances to get it formally published.
sfw at 6:43 – Roberts is certainly a vaccine pom pom waver. Taleb’s stance on Covid is somewhat hard to understand, although it fits in with the rest of his worldview. I just read over it when he starts. On balance I think both are worth persevering with.
The other thing is the Biden administration constantly lies (redefining what a recession is, all other economists just laughed at Yellen), so when the CDC says something; how much credibility do you give it?
We have Fauci literally saying YOU CANNOT GET SICK WITH COVID ONCE VACCINATED and then our own CHO saying CURRENT VACCINES DO NOT PROTECT AGAINST NEW VARIANTS. This all happened within about 8 months!
The first statement is obviously false and exaggeration and the second presumes there is no overlap at all in immunity modalities and we’ll never catch up and be living in this police state forever.
The official narrative whatever it may be is forever tainted.

ALPBC opens its account. Finds a Professional Aboriginal with a bank – if you are even thinking of voting No you are a bigot. Links the voice to gay marriage referendum unsurprisingly. I expect she won’t be the first.
You couldn’t defend that land.
Given that the first duty of any “Nation” is the security and defence of it’s citizens against invasion, doesn’t that show this “First Nations” nonsense for the malarkey that it is?
It may sound harsh, but what material wealth did they have before whitey turned up, and which whitey took from them? Stones, sticks, and skins?
Songs, myths, relationships within the tribe – these were not taken.
I very much suspect reparations will involve compensation for land on the basis that what they owned was taken without any due process.
Well, did they ‘possess’ land, or merely live on it like any thing else? Did living on the land suddenly turn into ownership because they were homo sapiens? Did the first people to land on Antarctica suddenly become owners of the whole damned continent? Or is there more?
What is ownership? Well, I suspect they ‘owned’ their own spears and clubs. The ones that they either made themselves or which they traded for something else of their own. Did they modify the land to make it ‘fit’ them? Did they have a procedure whereby they could dispose of the land as they saw fit? Did they recognise boundaries that granted tribes or bands exclusive use even if they were unable to defend it?
And yet, it is undeniable that they needed the land to feed them and clothe them. But how to calculate a monetary value? Compensation and reparations are based on calculations of what was lost, to replace (to some extent) wealth denied or destroyed. The Germans were hit with reparations for the towns, buildings and property destroyed by the war they were being held responsible for. A value could be calculated. But what Aborigines lost did not have monetary value and did not exist inside an economic system. The opportunity to live a certain lifestyle. Can any of the people clamouring for compensation be feeling the loss? What if we offered them the lifestyle instead? Perhaps the right to wander around Royal National Park spearing fish and kangaroos and singing around a fire. I wonder how many of them would choose it? If they do not, then they can hardly claim to be suffering from the loss of it.
Mind you, it is much easier to calculate the value of what has been given to them.
The only compensation I can think has merit is not for the affected grievance of urban activists who have absolutely no desire for the lifestyle for which they would demand compensation. It is instead for their wrecked broken people imprisoned in disfunctional remote communities, left there to rot because as long as there are no white involvement then they are deemed to be living their authentic indigenous life. But, truly, I do not see how any amount of money is going to fix them.

Did they modify the land to make it ‘fit’ them?
Hmm, not exactly. They torched it from Bondi to Broome and Darwin to the Derwent, exterminating the megafauna and almost obliterating the natural rainforests.
Not sure that ended up “fitting” them, though.
The irony of calling people bigots while granting privileges by race seems to escape her.

Heartbreaking – so sick of seeing these.
BoN, 8.12:
And:
Because, much in the vein of renewable energy, they are very heavily subsidised by others. In these cases, councils eager to promote the concept of fun-seeking visitors having fun, lazily meandering along malls and beachfronts and esplanades and so on. They are the driving force behind these contraptions. They are geo-fenced, so they won’t work past a certain imaginary line.
You can also tinker with them so they won’t work past a certain time of day. Naturally, in Darwin they’ve thrown that concept in the bin so the ‘late evening entertainment strip’ is strewn with the fucking things, ridden by pissed-up clubbers playing chicken with traffic.
This state of affairs has led – in this neck of the woods at least – to several excellent face plants by stupid women driving them into kerbs while shitfaced, all caught on tape for posterity.
Apparently you kick them in the guts by tapping your credit card on them, which gives you a certain amount of ride time. Another ‘rates, roads and rubbish’ win for councils desperate to have them because they’ve seen them somewhere else.
Dutton and his tail-wagging attack puppies really needs to start demand clarity from the government. Then he can lay out worst case scenarios for what Australians might end up voting themselves. This is the one thing Elbow and his carrion scavengers will be trying to avoid – letting Australians know what they are up to.
So long as Elbow is not clear Dutton can claim what he likes. He might take a stand on ‘fairness’ (a word much overused by Labor). At present every Australian (Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal) has a vote. This new body will give some people more than their vote. Is that what Australians want?
If he is really lucky they might even try to drum up sympathy with the Flora and Fauna nonsense to which Libs can soberly reply that there never was any such thing – and challenge Labor to come up with evidence.
What am I saying?
Still, it is sometimes nice to dream…
It’s the other way round dot.
Someone associated with Trillium took photos of the three separate memos regarding the deaths of Drs Segall, Mckenzie and Sawicki and cut the bottom off each before circulating, in order to create the narrative.
That alone was grounds for suspicion.
The telephone harassment of their medical practices and the social media rubbish spread by anti vaxx loons prompted the response and public announcements.
The lack of respect for the families is appalling.

Funny thing, the Segway was the other business model you think they’d have learnt from.
I remember when the Segway was being developed, and eventually its founder Dean Kamen started dropping hints it would revolutionise cities as we knew them. The concept was kept a big secret and eventually released to great fanfare.
Although, like scooters, they are great fun, the designer blind spot was obvious – except to him. Segways are expensive, heavy, and need electricity – in other words if your business model depends on it then you’re stuffed in an extended blackout. But you’d think he would have seen the other limitations: open to rain and wind and cold; can’t carry much luggage, and a poor design for anyone handicapped by age, inability to balance, or can’t stand easily.
The British businessman Jimi Heselden, who acquired the company, died when he backed a Segway over a cliff. Apparently it went out of production in 2020.

Undeniably correct. Indians from the north, and the Punjab in particular have a deep belief that (aside from the caste system) they are either royalty or very closely connected to royalty, and they treat the midland and southern Indian people as peasants.
To use yet another crikkit reference – the Punjabi team in the Indian Premier League is unsurprisingly named the Punjabi Kings, and the Punjabs (including Yuvraj Singh, Jasprit Bumrah, Shikar Darwan and Virat Kohli) are heavily over-represented in national squads.
It is said that they are very, very easily fired up over this. Try calling a Punjabi a Pakistani and see how far you get.
Of course. There’s no limit to the damage they want to cause.

Sure, the well trained athlete can shave a millisecond off a record, but at what cost?
If the vaxx is damaging hearts, and elite athletes are most at risk, it behooves their coaches and minders to have their hearts checked for defects. Or do they already do this as a matter of routine? I can’t think of any more physically and medically pampered human being on the planet above an elite athlete.

This is why I suggested that one of the criteria to vote for, or be a delegate to the “Voice” should be the requirement to live the old life, on country, for two weeks each year, with nothing modern to assist other than a mobile phone or radio to call for help.
The numbers volunteering would not ne high, and none of them would be city based “activists”.
No, Zipping is not conveniently ignoring anything, you are.
Looking back over the years at the range of urgent causes that the left has championed…have any of them got any better? Would they say that there has been a downturn in domestic violence? Are there any climate disasters that have been averted and no longer threaten us? And those are just a couple of answers where they manufactured the problem*.
It kind of makes sense though. Non-problems are not connected to the real world. Nothing imposed upon the real world affects the imaginary problem. This has the benefit (from their point of view) of beating the drum and allowing infrastructure denouncing the problem to solidify and infest every corner of life without having to start all over again every few years, but it should also be recognised as showing what a calamitous record they have.
With real problems they are just as bad. Perhaps the most vivid example is from the US: Gun violence, and especially the recent spate of mass shootings. The left’s solution is stricter gun regulation, denying their citizens access to weapons even for their own protection, and gun free zones. Yet it is the Democrat controlled cities with the strictest laws where most of the gun crime occurs. And time and again you hear about lunatics shooting up shopping malls being put down by an ordinary citizen (‘well regulated’ in the Constitution’s sense, not regulated in the government sense) who has a gun in a public place.
Locally we have national parks managed so they are tinder-dry and every few years burst into flame burning great swathes through bushland and towns. We have restricted water storage offering us the Biblical ‘years of plenty, years of famine’ when dams fill brimming to the top – and which rains would also fill other dams if they had been built – only for the ones we have to emptied because they are serving twice the population they were designed for. Our schools churn out neurotic ignorant entitled children (but for the extent that parents intercede and undo the damage the teachers would do), and so on.
And yet these same lefties think they are saving the world with every nail they hammer into its coffin.
*No, I know that domestic violence is a real thing, but the DV that supposedly plagued our society was exclusively perpetrated by white men and could be a simple as white man not being complimentary enough to a woman about the meal he had just eaten. DV elsewhere was ignored (on pain of being called racist or misogynist).

I had to smile last week. One of them was very pro-vaxx and mask wearing. Stuck like a pin cushion and masked up to go shopping…every time.
Got the spicy cough anyway. No doubt I’ll be told “how bad it could have been”. Ho hum. 🙂
I’m not from either side of the divide.
I expressed concerns about the reporting of covid related deaths many times at sinc’s.
The 28 days post positive test being counted as covid caused even if the patient was on a palliative care pathway was one.
Perhaps someone still in the game can find out – the classic example of young males suddenly having to do work at athlete pace is the induction and training of new recruits.
Has there been a rise in sudden cardiac death in this cohort in any of the Western defence forces?
I’m hoping for a climate changy revolution between now and 2030.
I can see people remigrating from Australia because living conditions in India and maybe even in China are more attractive
As Hunchback found out, stairs are a good substitute for a cliff.

The way you are supposed to proceed is to form a hypothesis, or a thesis, then look almost exclusively for evidence to DISPROVE your hypothesis.
You assign then, a probability that your hypothesis is correct, until such time that it is shown incorrect.
Because we live in an adversary system infested with fucking lawyers, and because of human nature, the way people proceed is to start from the thing they feel or hope is true, and then look exclusively for the evidence which supports their feelings.
Stop doing that and most of the comments above from both sides of the vaccine debate would disappear, and people would instead behave with caution and restraint and be content to give the evidence time to emerge before committing to public comments about things they know fuck all about, and in particular, stop waving about their own personal choices as proof of their superior sense.
On both sides.

Canberra: where electricity is a luxury the poor can’t afford
Tina Faulk
‘Where do you go?’
They are all older women, retirees from the federal and territory public services, the ASO 5 and 6 level officers who kept the wheels of government turning – carrying out the programs, and watching their section heads and directors take credit for their work.
They’re not talking about where to eat lunch. They’re discussing where (and if) they should go to spend a few hours in heated premises to escape Canberra’s freezing weather after temperatures dropped 2 and 3 degrees below.
One who recently ‘VR-ed’ (Voluntary Retired) still goes back to her old workplace, usually late morning, when the security guard who remembers her gives a nod and a smile as she settles into one of the comfortable settees in the reception area.
Another heads for Canberra institution, the Southern Cross Club in Woden, where you can sit over newspapers and a coffee for half a day. The Hellenic Club is another popular choice.
It’s an old government service tradition in Canberra that, when winter sets in, people start arriving at their desks early. It isn’t unusual to find a roomful of people working away by 7 am. And if you rode your bike to work, braving the fog, or can convince your colleagues you have, you might even be entitled to take a quick hot shower, courtesy of the taxpayer.
Public libraries in the National Capital are now considered, by staff and patrons alike, to be ‘community centres’ where people come to read, use the computers, charge their phones, and use the toilets. It’s where clients of the NDIS, escorted by carers, are brought and propped up in their wheelchairs in front of computers or seated in deep armchairs by the magazine stands. Some, abandoned by their carers, shout incoherently for attention. Newly arrived migrants – Somalis, Iraqis, Syrians – jostle for attention of the library staff, asking for translation assistance with various forms and declarations.
Our libraries, warm and welcoming, have a crowd at their doors before the 10 am opening. A couple of those outdoor heaters that restaurants use were given a try-out a week or so ago, but vanished after a day, considered to be too expensive in use. Still, as the territory government has promised an upgrade for Woden public library, the heaters may re-emerge.
We are reaching a point where clean water and electricity are considered luxuries.
Retail electricity bills in the ACT will rise by around $333 a year for most families, the ‘typical households’ with a couple of kids and people who take hot showers and wash their clothes. And, of course, in winter, need their heating.
Residential gas bills are expected to rise by around $247 on average, adding hundreds of dollars to power bills.
Wood stoves, once officially banned, now simply disapproved of, have returned. The wood-burning pot belly stove, once a feature of many older Canberra homes, once considered illegal, is making a comeback, though the territory government has issued a plea for users of wood burners to use only dry, seasoned wood.
How, as ‘Macca’, perhaps the most-loved voice on ABC Canberra radio asked once morning, has it come to this in Australia?
That electricity that most of us as a taken-for-granted household utility, has become something that only the affluent may be able to afford is frightening. That hot water may be rationed in households – by householders themselves, if not by authorities – is alarming.
Living in Hong Kong in the late Sixties, when water pipelines were blocked by China during the madness of the Cultural Revolution, our Yau Yat Chuen apartment block was much visited, due to the fact that we, and our neighbours, had a well in the garden.
As a journalist in Jakarta, I had to remember to fill the large plastic tubs in the bathroom to cover our washing and drinking needs for the day, when the water was turned off for a couple of hours to conserve energy.
Australia’s cities, including Canberra, may be headed for similar occurrences with the shutting down of coal-fired stations and unrealistic dependence on wind, solar, and battery energy. This country is not – not yet – heading down that road. But it may soon do so.
Excuse me while I head to the local library to grab a seat before they’re all taken.
Adversarial.

Israel: Why Have Only 20% Of Doctors, Nurses Gotten 4th Jab After 96% Got 3rd Dose? (NTZ, 31 Jul)
I wonder what they know?
Libraries are about the most useful thing an LGA does. Bins are now almost exclusively outsourced to an Australian or French multinational and could be overseen by a senior clerk with a couple of direct reports.
If things continue this way those old wood-fired kitchen ranges that also heated your water will make a come back.
I don’t know Bruce, because omicron is a mild illness in the under 60 cohort, and a 4th jab is more or less a waste of time for them?
Haven’t read anything (easily accessible) to say that there was no difference in vaxxes such as Pfizer across the board.

So where did the Gestapo & KGB get their recruits?
The anti vaxx cult are so invested in being right it’s sickening.
The anti-vax cult has how many police/enforcers at its disposal to make people comply with its wishes?
The anti-vax cult has shut down segments of the health system for months at a time causing the deaths (and a lot of pain) due to cancelled treatments/operations?
The anti vax cult has been indemnified from any damages they may have caused for a medical procedure of dubious assistance to anyone under 50 (without a previous medical complication).
The antivax cult has made record profits after government massively overordered “chicken soup in a needle”
Yes there are grifters who are anti vax, their power is negligible, their reach pitiful and their ability to compel you to do anything non existent.

On the Voice (not Farnham),
many moons ago I worked for a Minister who received a request from the Feds for a “nuclear waste dump” way up north nowhere near anyone (for disposal of xray machines, dentistry equipment – not bombs!).
One local tribe was very happy with the prospect as they would make some money on a part of their land that wasn’t particularly noteworthy. The neigbouring tribe wasn’t happy as the site was “close” to some of their noteworthy land. I was sent up to discuss. In the first tribe I found that opinion was actually split. In the second tribe, I found exactly the same – split.
A week later, I started getting calls from metropolitan indigenous folks from well-to-do burbs who “identified” as being part of those lands.
Well, you can imagine my surprise and bewilderment upon dropping my sandwich in the parliamentary cafe when seeing one of those “identifying” folks being the lead spokesperson for the first tribe on their ABC (despite the elders telling me they’d never heard of him).
Suffice to say, it never went ahead and I think they selected a site near Sydney Harbour.
But, in such a case, whose voice wins?
He’s an expert in volcanoes.

You are wise, Arky-san.
The problem with this anti vaxx cult shtick is that there are vaccines and there are other vaccines. I for example have had dozens of vaccines without qualm, and have often said on Cat blogs how useful the fluvax is, at least for me.
The problem is the mRNA vaccines and any that have the alpha/delta spike protein.
The mRNA vaccines cause your own cells to display virus proteins, especially your blood vessel lining cells, since they tend to be exposed to the mRNA vesicle. That then can cause inflammation due to the T cells recognizing the virus proteins as alien then killing the cells they think are infected. You do get antibodies also produced, but the inflammation of the blood vessel linings (and heart cells as I linked above) cause a disease worse than the infection they’re supposed to be fixing.
The other issue is when your cells display these virus proteins your immune system can latch onto other proteins in its haste to kill the “invader” (ie. the vaccine it thinks is bad). That then can cause autoimmune disease. Which is effectively a vaccine produced version of long covid.
Both of these issues are an inherent problem with the mRNA technique now being used. Millins of people are suffering from these issues, which anyone with a brain could’ve predicted. I did in about April 2020 on the old Cat and sadly my prediction has come true.
That’s enough to go with; I won’t go into the other issues like immunodeficiency, that has been discussed in detail here.
Urban Abos outnumber those living traditional lives by a large factor.

Australia’s future, certain by winter 2023;
In Hanover and Munich people won’t get hot water in museums, swimming pools, sports halls, and other public buildings. But hey, hospitals and schools will still have hot water. In Berlin, the lights around public buildings and monuments and the fountains will also be switched off. Germany is in a world of trouble, and the cut-backs are just starting, mid-summer, to avert the tragedy that will be winter, if Russia blocks all gas. Germans have cut gas by 5-6% in summer, but in a normal year they get between 30% and 50% of their gas from Russia. All the talk of a 15% cut across the EU disguises that many of the other nations don’t want to do it, and Germany faces an extra difficult situation if they can’t get alternative gas supplies.

Munt, given referenda in Australia have a success rate very slightly over 16%, I wouldn’t be getting too carried away.
And this one has two BIG problems:
1) Doesn’t have any detail and just about every caller to radio this morning bemoaned that fact,
(2) The more detail comes out, the less people will like it.
Remember the last 7 referenda, some of which were fairly benign in nature (like adding a preamble) were NOT carried by ANY States at all.
Hope he’s on the look out for an out-of-control parmigiano cheese wheel lest he come to grief.
Hahaha, cry more. Pathetic.
But, in such a case, whose voice wins?
I predict even more enthusiastic Agincourt re-enactments by the “indigenous” as this is sorted out.
Investment tips: go long on chain mail!
The other problem is a wider one, which is that data collection is now so corrupt that no one can believe the official data. This has been going on for a long time, especially since the turn of the century as the climate fanatics got control of the official climate data. Which is now so distorted that it doesn’t match what you see out of your window in many cases.
The same now has proceeded to health data. Such incredible pressure has been on medical professionals not to report vaccine injury from the Covid vaccines that the data is now completely unbelievable. And official propaganda is everywhere.
Again this distortion of data collection is due to the subversion of the systems by the fanatics. We get the same increasingly with other data such as economic indices and immigration data. All to serve political causes.
Consequently since there’s little believable official data you get people adding 2 plus 2 to get 22, since they only have what information they can locally get themselves, and have very little trust. Especially not in the authorities.
There’s going to be a crack up as this corruption of systems hits the ultimate wall. I don’t know what it will turn out to be like, but it’ll be ugly.
Back in the late 80s a lefty told me Australia could not sustain a larger population. It turns out he was right. Sydney is served by about 9 dams of which Warragamba holds about 91% of the total water capacity. The law of diminishing returns absolutely applies here. More dams would make little difference, certainly less than increasing Warragamba’s wall height.
And it’s not simply because we’re a dry continent. We’re an old continent, which means there is little capacity for water storage compared to elsewhere in the world. The only solution is to limit population via reduced immigration, but that doesn’t help their agenda.
Sydney Trains job ads had a 12 million people by 2050 spiel, which is clearly proposterous. This needs to change.

Whatever virtues upon we pride our society those before us advanced it one step at a time. They couldn’t do it all at once, and they did not have the benefit of hindsight that we have – they could not check the answers at the back of the book.
But they got us here.
They pared back the power of absolute monarchs and built democracies. They discovered new medicines that extended lives and spared innumerable people from disfigurement, deformity, and pain. They saw plight of the destitute and the sick and established societies and programs to provide relief and succour. They saw injustice in their worlds and one step a time righted it.
It was the hated privileged empowered white people who liberated the black slaves, not the slaves themselves. It was the hated privileged empowered men who gave women the vote, not the women themselves (I mean, that’s the point: They didn’t have the power.)
Captain Cook sailed his little ship around the globe. He made measurements, collected and catalogued specimens, visited new lands and made overtures to bring their people into touch with his own world, even made a point of carrying enough citrus so his crew would not get scurvy – looking for a way to make thing better.
Well, he might have done that but in his time scant regard was given to trans kids and women were brought up to become wives and mothers rather than lesbian judges. So the man was a monster.
Man I am in a rant-y kind of way today.
Beery – The trouble with that hypothesis is encapsulated in the Tillegra Dam fiasco.

Then Nobody’s Girl finally managed to kill it, and to keep it dead sold off the land that had been set aside for it.
About a year later we were in water restrictions, and Hunter Water announced that they’d be building a stupid desalination plant. Sheesh.

Monty – The Left has likewise corrupted referenda. They carefully craft wishy washy questions to seduce a vote in the direction they want, to give a fake justification for what they want to do.
Then if the public still refuses they try over and over again, after more softening up exercises.
It’s all fake.
Examples which are pertinent are the Scottish Independence referenda and the Oz Republic referenda. Another is the European Commission propensity to hold referenda over and over in recalcitrant countries until they get the “right” answer.
This is not a democratic approach, it is a mendacious tactic. You cannot make a population do what they don’t want to do. You can fool them for a while, but once they wise up the results will be worse for the political activists than if they’d just honestly let the people decide. Possibly a lot worse.

Swedish Scientist Says Humans Should Be ‘Tricked’ Into Cannibalism To ‘Fight Climate Change’
The trouble is, klimate fanatics are so bitter and twisted, it would be like having a liquorice steak.
Over on my post about EVs, I just added this comment which I thought may also be of wider interest to other Cats.
HT says:
Now, that’s JUST the cars, don’t get me started on infrastructure to run this stuff.
——–
Couldn’t agree more. The cost will be gigantic. Governments will spend no less than $US60 trillion over the next 28 years to achieve the emissions target by 2050.
For clarity, I am not involved in EVs (or any industry associated with them, or renewable energy). I am merely pointing to the vast transformation underway. Right or wrong, its happening.
As for infrastructure and constraints, look at this:
