How very Rousseau…if anything European colonisation helped protect Aboriginal women.
It’s an inconvenient that there were those Aboriginal women who preferred European men as partners – they were generally treated much better….

Dover, Arky at 12.15 am. This freezing started about four or five days ago. I found a workaround which failed this morning. When I used the workaround – either hitting “home” or “about” and then going to the comments r/h/s – about 5 of Tom’s came up but none of them took me to the cartoons on page 4. Came straight in just now and also, user name and email plus the ‘save my name’ tick on the comment window are now present..

tho I am surprised that owing the ATO money can be absolved thru bankruptcy .. I thought that once you owe the tax man you owe until it’s paid regardless ……
I believe ‘it depends’. Income tax debts greater than 3 years old are extinguished but not those newer. However, if the ATO has obtained a judgement in the courts (even for older tax debt), I don’t think that is extinguished. Child support and HECS debts are not extinguished nor are court imposed fines.
This is an election year. But the issues this year are not about Democrats and Republicans. The big issue is whether this nation has degenerated to a point of no return — a point where we risk destroying ourselves, before our enemies can destroy us.
If there is one moment that symbolized our degeneration, it was when an enraged mob gathered in front of the Supreme Court and a leader of the United States Senate shouted threats against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, saying “You won’t know what hit you!”
There have always been irresponsible demagogues. But there was once a time when anyone who shouted threats to a Supreme Court Justice would see the end of his own political career, and could not show his face in decent society again.
You either believe in laws or you believe in mob rule. It doesn’t matter whether you agree with the law or agree with the mob on some particular issue. If threats of violence against judges — and publishing where a judge’s children go to school — is the way to settle issues, then there is not much point in having elections or laws.
There is also not much point in expecting to have freedom. Threats and violence were the way the Nazis came to power in Germany. Freedom is not free. If you can’t be bothered to vote against storm-trooper tactics — regardless of who engages in them, or over what issue — then you can forfeit your freedom.
Claiming that it was nearly impossible to amend the Constitution, Progressives advocated that judges “interpret” the Constitutional limits out of the way.
This was just the first in a long series of sophistries.
In reality, the Constitution was amended 4 times in 8 years — from 1913 through 1920 — during the heyday of the Progressive era.
When the people wanted the Constitution amended, it was amended. When the elites wanted the Constitution amended, but the people did not, that is called democracy.
Voters need to find out who is for or against mob rule, whether they are Democrats or Republicans. We are not going to be a free or decent society otherwise.

Bankruptcy law applies to all debts once bankruptcy is declared , either by debtors petition or creditors petition.
The trustee gets paid, secured creditors next, unsecured (including ATO) get anything left.
Usually no one gets much. Except the trustee.

Eddie Bett’s story relates to a pre-season training camp run by the Adelaide Crows.
Players were subjected a “mind bending” exercise to reveal their secrets and history = supposedly in confidence – to focus on toughness and single mindedness for the coming season.
Confidences were betrayed in open session to all and sundry. Betts and some other aboriginal players felt they had betrayed family and clan.
Other players (non-aboriginal) were put through the same wringer and were pissed off by it. Josh Jenkins has now gone public about it..
A fuck up by someone in charge at Adelaide (probably the coach got sucked in) and the AFL tried to ignore it and probably instructed the AFL Players Assn to do likewise.
Not sure if it was the same camp where they did the fire walking and burnt players feet.

We are hurtling towards a socialist kleptocracy and there’s nothing out there to stop it, at least politically. It will pretend to be something else while there’s benefit in pretending. Soon there will be no need at all.
The LNP snakes have read the writing on the wall and it offers nothing for them unless they roll over and play at being “opposition”. The money and power will still be available, just not the principles which have long since fled and simply don’t matter any more.
I realised that when I was told I didn’t matter. And I don’t. “The Base” is meaningless.
The car begins to drive off and the man then sits on the roof with his legs dangling over the windscreen, holding his penis again.
If it wasn’t for the risk of being charged by police, my guess is that the second foot onto the bonnet would have resulted in a planted foot and penis holder exiting over the rear of the vehicle for some well earned gravel rash.

Biloela family granted permanent visas
Noah Yim
Immigration and Citizenship Minister Andrew Giles has issued the Nadesalingam family – the Biloela family – with permanent visas.
“Following careful consideration of all relevant matters and options before me, I exercised my power … to intervene in the case of the Nadesalingam family,” Mr Giles said in a media release.
“This government made a commitment before the election that if elected we would allow the family to return to Biloela and resolve the family’s immigration status. Today, the government has delivered on that promise.
“This decision follows careful consideration of the Nadesalingam family’s complex and specific circumstances.”
This comes after acting Home Affairs Minister Jim Chalmers issued the family with bridging visas in the first week under the Albanese government.
The Tamil family made national headlines when they were taken to immigration detention in 2018 under the former Coalition government after their bridging visas expired.
The family said they would face persecution if deported to Sri Lanka, but were found not to meet refugee requirements.

Ted Cruz again, this time with the State Department Chief Diversity and Inclusion officer.
Gina Abercrombie-Winstanley – always impressive to see a South Australian do well.
Cruz is a bulldog. He is relentless. And he he goes for the throat.
But as for Abercrombie-Winstanley: I wonder what would happen if a white male was made an officer for Diversity and Inclusion? The objections would be that a person already with access to all the supposed special rights cannot understand the gripes of the wounded. It could easily be argued that he understands them better because he actually exercises them.
Instead it must go to the aggrieved, who see these rights from the outside. Who must surmise what these special rights are.
And from what we see these imagined ‘rights’ are quite ridiculous. It is the flights of fancy as to what someone can do, overlaid with someone else can do, and the gap between them is called injustice.
Look at ‘Da Pay Gapp’. Someone thinking about all the stuff they could do with the money that some guy makes, superimposed on the reality of what they actually do, and the difference is prejudice or injustice or whatever.
And all based on reward, and no consideration of responsibility – of the 80 hours weeks, of the bearing of failure, of the risks taken. Of the ulcers, of the broken marriages and so on. All invisible from their point of view.
Point is that they think only the angry self-ascribed outsider can do this, not a person who has lived it.

One-legged dementia sufferer, 93, died after Sussex police tasered him in care home

FAMILY HANDOUT/PA

A 93-year-old dementia sufferer with one leg died after police officers pepper-sprayed and shot him with a Taser inside his care home.
Police were called to the home in St Leonards-on-Sea in East Sussex after reports that an elderly man in a wheelchair was threatening staff with a knife.
When two officers arrived, they found Donald Burgess, a resident who suffered from advanced dementia, holding a knife.
After speaking to him briefly, one of the officers pepper-sprayed him and then used his baton while the second officer tasered him.
After being disarmed, Burgess was handcuffed and taken to hospital on June 21. He died after three weeks in hospital, although the exact cause of death has not been established.
Sussex police voluntarily referred themselves to the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) over excessive use of force by the officers, both of whom are constables.
The two have been told that they are under criminal investigation for manslaughter. They have also been handed gross misconduct notices.
The IOPC said that initial steps carried out in the investigation included taking witness statements and reviewing the officers’ body-worn video footage. Graham Beesley, IOPC regional director, said: “I want to express my sympathies to the man’s relatives and those who knew him. We have advised his next-of-kin of our independent investigation and explained the steps we will be taking.
“This will include investigating whether the force used by the two officers against this male was reasonable, necessary and proportionate.”
Tanya Jones, assistant chief constable of Sussex police, said: “We want to express our sympathies to the family and friends of Mr Burgess.
“We are providing every assistance to the IOPC to allow for a thorough investigation and for the family to receive the answers they need.”
There have been concerns over police use of Tasers following other incidents in which people died after one was used against them.

Sal, wear a skin tight powder blue suit and brown shoes with no socks. Man bun optional.
You don’t want to stand out from the normies in Sydney.
Pedro, you give wise advice.
I’ll write that one down, lest I misremember it on the day.
With your guidance I may surpass my previous high in Sydney, when the nature of my attire led a trio of security guards to assume I was a supporter of Nick Xenophon who’d strayed from a nearby Xenophon street demonstration.

Albanese delivers promise for Indigenous Voice
A Voice to parliament would be an advisory body only and would not involve reparations to Indigenous Australians, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says.
In an exclusive interview with The Advertiser’s Indigenous Affairs reporter Douglas Smith, the Prime Minister said he believed Australians were generous enough to support a referendum to enshrine the body in the constitution.
He said he sees the Voice as the first step in fulfilling the three steps of the Uluru Statement from the Heart.
The second step is a Makarrata Commission for truth telling and then Treaty, which would be an agreement between the government and Indigenous people.
Mr Albanese said the Voice was the first step in recognising Indigenous Australians in the “nation’s birth certificate” and without it the country was “diminished by not recognising our history”.
IS AUSTRALIA READY FOR AN INDIGENOUS VOICE TO PARLIAMENT?
YES
22 %
NO
78 %
1231 votes
“We should be proud that we have the oldest continuous civilisation,” he added.
When asked about when detail of how the Voice would work would emerge, Mr Albanese said the parliament would devise legislation to underpin it.
“It not seeking something that is above parliament,” he said.
“It is something that is subservient to the parliament.
“It will be just an advisory group.
“The parliament remains sovereign.”
It would not be a third chamber, he said, and would instead consult First Nations people.
“People should be consulted on matters that affect them, that’s just good manners,” he said.
Mr Albanese revealed he had already spoken to the AFL, NRL and Netball Australia as he builds a coalition to support a Voice.
When asked about calls for reparations for Indigenous Australians, Mr Albanese said there would be none.
“No, that’s not something that is part of the proposal,” he said.
No reparations – dream on Albo. Oh, and the oldest continuous civilization is NOT the Aborigine.

No, the fire-walking debacle at the Adelaide Crows was years before.
But, yes, these “challenge camps” have been all the go in professional sport for a while, with a scaled back version being used in the corporate world.
Usually run by dubious snake-oil salesmen using simplistic homespun psychology.
I reckon this type of thing is now dead in the sporting world, and probably corporate as well.

A 93-year-old dementia sufferer with one leg died after police officers pepper-sprayed and shot him with a Taser inside his care home.
Tanya Jones, assistant chief constable of Sussex police, said: “We want to express our sympathies to the family and friends of Mr Burgess.
“We are providing every assistance to the IOPC to allow for a thorough investigation and for the family to receive the answers they need.”

The B-2 deployment to Australia comes as the USAF ramps up its presence in the Indo-Pacific region amid growing tensions with China.
Recent imagery obtained by The War Zone from Planet Labs shows four USAF B-2 Spirit stealth bombers lined up at the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) Amberley airbase in Queensland. Considering the USAF currently only operates 20 B-2 bombers, the photo provides an unprecedented glimpse from space of one-fifth of the service’s entire B-2 fleet deployed ‘down under.’ That being said, it will likely become a very normal sight as the U.S. and Australia work more closely to deter China.
The photo highlights the growing presence of USAF B-2s in Australia in recent months – signaling the U.S.’ commitment to maintaining stability within the Indo-Pacific amid growing tensions with China. The four B-2s currently stationed at Amberley were sent from the 509th Bomb Wing at Whiteman Air Force Base, Missouri, to support a Pacific Air Forces Bomber Task Force. Two B-2s arrived at Amberley on July 10, while another two B-2s arrived on July 12. While B-2s have visited Australia before, this is the first deployment of B-2s to the country as part of the Bomber Task Force (BTF), according to Janes. USAF and RAAF flyers have focused on “training missions and strategic deterrence missions” since the four USAF B-2s arrived at Amberley as part of the Enhanced Cooperation Initiative under the Force Posture Agreement between the U.S. and Australia.
The first pair of B-2s to arrive at Amberley will remain there “throughout the months of July and August and are planning to be involved in various Australian Defence Force (ADF) exercises such as Exercise ‘Koolendong’ and Exercise ‘Arnhem Thunder,’” an Australian Department of Defense spokesperson said. Exercise Koolendong 2022 wrapped up at the end of July.
That’s atrocious! .. as a, long time, OAP I’ve always thought the OAP untouchable by garnishee!

There’s a theory about Uncle George, which is pretty credible. In a recent recent interview , Uncle George was asked very clearly why he supported some of these wacky DA’s. His answer appeared to be totally incoherent strongly suggesting he had zero idea what was going on.
He’s 91.
The theory is that the money being distributed has a partial payback angle for the person or people responsible in the family office. They’re getting a cut. Sounds plausible.

A Voice to parliament would be an advisory body only and would not involve reparations to Indigenous Australians, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says.
Then why does the referendum wording give parliament the ability to determine the “powers” of the “voice”?
Whether “powers” is intended to have its plain English meaning or its legal technical meaning (and tell me an activist Court wouldn’t choose the one which gives the “progressives” the most latitude), why does a pure “advisory” body need “powers”. If it said “such powers as are necessary for a purely advisory function” that mightn’t be an issue (though tell me an activist Court wouldn’t give that a wide operation), but why is it just open ended?

We are empty nesters, so the following doesn’t matter to me but I will say that I wouldn’t be happy sending my, then, young boys to school with kids that were from a totally different culture and encouraged to speak a different language at home,

He’s not biden who has no brain or morality. Soros knows what he is doing. So does Gates and the other tech billionaires. They’re a combination of misanthropy and vanity. It’s not rocket science: spiteful kids with money and power because our pollies have caved, except for Trump, DeSantis, our Pauline. Whether they’re being used by the Frankfurt School/commies or vice-versa is irrelevant.

never again .. retirement is retirement as far as I’m concerned ..!

I watched the German warmie lady, I think a 23 minute YouTube record for me.
Nuclear is too expensive and scary (except in France and other countries that have nuclear already) and one day uranium will run out, or perhaps not, depending on technology advances.
Wind and solar takes up too much space and simply doesn’t work well enough in countries which don’t get sufficient sun and wind (obviously).
Hydro also not suitable for everyone.
Coal and gas, probably, but we can’t really tell, could be killing millions of people with good old pollution (just guessing!), and of course carbon polluting bad, very bad.
If she wasn’t a warmie she’d admit in terms of reliability, cost (including the loss of thousands of acres no longer available for other purposes), footprint (yes we don’t need to rip out millions of carbon eating trees and plants for wind and solar farms) coal is best.
Was worth watching and I shared it, thank you.

Putative immigrants will soon work out that they are being welcomed solely as a source of taxes, and stay home. Even the poor ones are not stpid.
They got one lot of legal fees for the youngest. Haven’t heard of any compensation. The parents and the oldest daughter exhausted all their legal avenues and lost.

Complete and utter bullshit. New generation nukes use much less fissionable material greatly increasing known stock life which even with old nuke tech was measured in millennia. Same with new gen coal.

I’m interested to know what the wait time is currently for family reunion status for immigrants – it was getting quite long pre-covid, my guess is that things have settled down with inability to travel for a couple of years, and elderly parents getting older by the day. Any one know?
Iirc she claimed sixty years if nuclear was increased by a factor of 10 ie to provide 100 percent of energy needs using current technology.
OK – I’m going to blunder into a “contested space”, here, Cats.
If you can’t define what a “woman” is, then you are clearly too stupid to be on the public payroll.
Thought you were referencing that line from Death at a Funeral that got delivered whenever anyone took the not paracetamol tablets. Second only in the memorability stakes to “I have uncle Monty’s shit in my mouth”.

Interesting question wifey. Family reunion has always been problematic to me. For every approved entrant, how many entrants do we actually get? We have approved refugees from places that they “were in danger” known to have gone back to their places of origin in apparent safety. They also have ‘rights’ to bring their extended families here. Hence the massive congestion of enclaves in areas such as where I live.

Quite frankly, I have always believed that if you want to reunite with your family, you are welcome to go home. This is a crock emanating from UN treaties.

This bloke does not get how implacable the radical left is.
He’s a silly wet. He liked the Jungian fluff and the sense of insight which is spurious and leads nowhere, while struggling for neutrality. Staying neutral when someone is hellbent on destroying your civilisation isn’t noble and brave. It’s blackest treachery.

The Indian subcontinent diaspora would be interesting to watch in this regard. I suspect quite a few will end up going home when their aspirations are not fulfilled to the satisfaction of their dreams, and as the mortgage interest rates climb.

Wonder how long they’ll be calling Biloela home before the “big smoke” beckons?
And:
They’ll be in Brissy or Sydney within a month.
I doubt they’ll go back in Biloela. The ‘outpouring of community support’ – that I saw, at least – was from a couple of whiny tree-changers yapping about the family having settled into the bedrock of the town.
Depends on what you mean by ‘settled’. Small towns like that have long wait times before you’re considered part of it.
In fact, they’ll be absorbed into one of the big city Sri Lankan communities. After the obligatory brief stay in one of the million dollar single-fronted townhouses with ‘Refugees Welcome Here’ signs out the front.
Which will be a bit shambolic, because they’re not refugees.

OK Cats, I’m going to get all controversial.
Fatty Trump needs to stand down for the next election.

Holocaust twins turning 100 are living proof miracles happen
exclusive

ASSOCIATE EDITOR

Phillip Maisel says he has enjoyed two miracles in his life. The first was during the war when both he and his twin sister Bella survived the Nazi extermination camps of the Holocaust. The second was in Melbourne this week, when they both turned 100.
Or did they? The letters of congratulation that these living treasures received from the Queen, the Governor-General, the Prime Minister and the Premier say their birthday is not until August 15. But that is an 80-year lie which Maisel told to the Nazis – a lie that was never corrected.
“When I was in the concentration camp I needed to hide my identity in case I escaped, so I changed my birthday from 31st July to 15th August. When we both came to Australia in 1949, I never bothered to change it back,” Maisel says with a grin.
So Phillip and Bella and their family celebrated their real 100th birthday last Sunday, July 31 – and now they will have to wait until Monday week, August 15, for it to become official.
There was also a third miracle in Phillip’s large life that could have been taken straight from the script of a Hollywood movie.
Having somehow survived a series of concentration camps, Phillip found himself stranded and alone in Germany in the months after the war with no knowledge of whether his family, including Bella, was still alive.
One day a man approached him and commented on his unusual Yiddish accent, saying he had just been at a displaced persons camp in another part of Germany where he had met a woman with a similar distinctive accent.
Phillip knew it was a “one in a million” chance that it was his twin sister Bella but he had to find out. So he took his 250cc motorcycle that he had bought from the Soviet Red Army in exchange for fuel and rode more than 150km across Germany to the camp in Landsberg to search for the girl with the strange accent.
Bella, who had assumed Phillip was dead, says she was dumbstruck when her twin brother suddenly appeared in front of her.
“I couldn’t believe it. We looked at each other and we couldn’t talk. I was just so incredibly happy,” she says. “Then after a while we started to tell our story.”
Their family in Vilna, which was then a part of Poland, had been ripped apart by the Germans who placed Phillip and his father in a Jewish ghetto.
Two years later, Bella watched as soldiers arrested Phillip and dragged him away. They never saw each other for the rest of the war. Bella was arrested and charged with being a member of the Polish underground and was thrown into a concentration camp. Phillip was moved to a series of concentration camps for years, narrowly escaping death numerous times.
They learned after the war that their father was put to death by the Nazis just one day before his camp was liberated.
After the war, Phillip and Bella moved together to Melbourne, where they had an uncle, and started a new life. They both married, raised families and were happy, but in 1992 Phillip felt an itch that he knew he had to scratch.
“In my concentration camp there were three of us who made a vow,” he says. “We promised one another if we survive even for five minutes we will tell the world what the Germans have done to Jews. And because I survived I could help fulfil the promise.”
So, at the age of 70, Phillip devoted four days a week for the next 29 years to recording the testimonies of Holocaust survivors at Melbourne’s Jewish Holocaust Centre.
He has recorded 1400 of them, adding richly to Australia’s understanding of what these immigrants went through before starting a new life here.
Phillip says he loved recording the testimonies so that future generations would understand the stories of Holocaust survivors, but he admits that sometimes the horror and the heartbreak of their tales got to him.
“When I would come home (from recording) I would often think about it and feel the pain of the person,” he says. “But there was one very important thing that made me feel better – they survived. That was a very positive thing.”
Despite the horrors of the Holocaust, both Bella and Phillip still believe that humans are fundamentally decent.
“I believe that human beings are good,” says Bella.
“Unfortunately, during the war, the propaganda and the politics forced them and they lost sight of what was right.”
Phillip says: “In general I try to be positive but very often I am disappointed. Take Ukraine, for example. People are not bad but they can be misled so that even good people commit terrible atrocities. People have to be educated so that they are not willing to believe in false gods.”
Both Phillip and Bella admit that in the dark days of 1941 they could never have imagined in their wildest dreams that they would both survive the war, emigrate to Australia together and then live to see 100. “These are miracles,” says Phillip.
So is there a secret to their longevity and luck?
“Just be positive,” he says.
“Always be positive.”

Matt Canavan very good in that clip above. He may be a Senator but he could be drafted in for a run as Liberal leader if the going got tough. Hawke was drafted in, late, and won hugely. After two and a half more years of Labor and the Greens, who knows what might be in the minds of the voters and who will become heir to the political throne, the person they seek to change directions? I think it will need to be someone like Canavan, who has fire and says what everyone is thinking. Pauline does that, but she’s a muddling communicator. Matt speaks well, easily, and cuts through strongly.
I feel as do Calli and Cassie; a sense of rejection and hopelessness and a desire to retreat into my own world and my own concerns. I think I will do so for a while; feel less involved and be less involved. Each of us must find our own accommodation to these mad times. This small holiday is doing me good.

Small holiday fun tonite. We decided to use the little kitchen in this one-bedroom apartment and have a good home-cooked meal of steak and salad with sweet potato chips, and relax ‘at home’. The pub meal last nite had been disappointing. There is a fully equipped kitchen but the induction stove is one of those ones with obscure modes of operation, sliding your finger and tapping lightly and hopefully in the right place, for nothing was apparent. The stove got greasy, the tapping stopped working, the steak was on high and we couldn’t turn the damn hotplates down, the extractor fan was feeble and the fire alarm went off just after I had raced to open the doors to the balcony and started waving a tea-towel around to dispell the fug. This is a very large resort complex and I was feared we would call the place out, with everyone having to troop downstairs.
But the alarm stopped, I continued waving my teatowel getting a through draft via the entrance door to the open balcony door, and soon there appeared a security man and a housekeeper woman. They were very nice. Cooking? they enquired. Those stoves are so difficult to work, consoled the woman. No worries, said the security, you’ve got the extractor fan on and the doors open, the alarms off on the main console downstairs, and we’ve investigated, but next time, don’t open the door to the corridor as this can bring out the whole building.
He thought there would be a next time! I’m never coming back to this stove again.

In two research reports this week I’ve seen the following numbers quoted.
As at end of Dec 2019 debts to the ATO were 10bill.
As at end if June 2022 debts to the ATO were 60bill.
Can’t seem to find the data behind it but a few parties are now quoting each other.
If true, that’s a pretty penny.

ATO went through an unannounced process to take debts off the record as “uncollectable” 3-4 years ago. Reduced the amount of unpaid tax to buggery for government reporting.
Of course, the debt was easily resurrected especially if a tax return was lodged with a refund result.

Glad you enjoyed the link, Rosie.
Sad she is a warmie, but there you are.
Economics and resource extraction are a little out of her wheelhouse but she still makes a robust case for nuclear on environmental grounds and the human cost, and she is alive to the fact that whatever the economics now she is still open minded, seeing that things evolve with time – a concept greenies and most warmies are determined to remain blind to.
Typically greenies will insist that nuclear is not economic and then sit smugly back as if they have delivered the last word (this is when talking to someone open to nuclear despite all the ooga-booga that greenies, hippies, and other luddites have been prattling on with since the 60s). But she acknowledges that nuclear would get cheaper, and then went on to discuss new forms of nuclear already heading that way.
One of the commenters is a lecturer at UNSW on a mining discipline who points out to her that the estimate of uranium available to us would be severely limited by the reluctance to search for and identify new reserves in these benighted ‘green’ times. But if, for example, the reserves of copper as known in 1980 happened to be all their was, we would have run out in the 2010’s (or thereabouts).
Clearly we haven’t.
And I love the way she pronounces Einstein – in German!

“I have a vague memory of someone being able to create an EMP without nuclear weapons …”
IIRC, a linear array of single-loop coils and some conventional explosive at one end.
Coil spacing, current interruption and explosive shock wave velocity arranged such that all the “edges” of the magnetic field collapse in each coil align, creating the desired sharp-edged pulse in one direction (opposite end to explosive).
Obviously less intense than nuclear, but also can be a “focused” attack too – you can take out radar, comms etc at the military sites without wiping out all the civilian infrastructure too. And of course, no radioactivity issues either. And presumably can be assembled with minimal training and little “restricted” materials.

tho I am surprised that owing the ATO money can be absolved thru bankruptcy .. I thought that once you owe the tax man you owe until it’s paid regardless ……
I believe ‘it depends’. Income tax debts greater than 3 years old are extinguished but not those newer. However, if the ATO has obtained a judgement in the courts (even for older tax debt), I don’t think that is extinguished. Child support and HECS debts are not extinguished nor are court imposed fines.
The Point of No Return
By Thomas Sowell
This is an election year. But the issues this year are not about Democrats and Republicans. The big issue is whether this nation has degenerated to a point of no return — a point where we risk destroying ourselves, before our enemies can destroy us.
If there is one moment that symbolized our degeneration, it was when an enraged mob gathered in front of the Supreme Court and a leader of the United States Senate shouted threats against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, saying “You won’t know what hit you!”
There have always been irresponsible demagogues. But there was once a time when anyone who shouted threats to a Supreme Court Justice would see the end of his own political career, and could not show his face in decent society again.
You either believe in laws or you believe in mob rule. It doesn’t matter whether you agree with the law or agree with the mob on some particular issue. If threats of violence against judges — and publishing where a judge’s children go to school — is the way to settle issues, then there is not much point in having elections or laws.
There is also not much point in expecting to have freedom. Threats and violence were the way the Nazis came to power in Germany. Freedom is not free. If you can’t be bothered to vote against storm-trooper tactics — regardless of who engages in them, or over what issue — then you can forfeit your freedom.
Claiming that it was nearly impossible to amend the Constitution, Progressives advocated that judges “interpret” the Constitutional limits out of the way.
This was just the first in a long series of sophistries.
In reality, the Constitution was amended 4 times in 8 years — from 1913 through 1920 — during the heyday of the Progressive era.
When the people wanted the Constitution amended, it was amended. When the elites wanted the Constitution amended, but the people did not, that is called democracy.
Voters need to find out who is for or against mob rule, whether they are Democrats or Republicans. We are not going to be a free or decent society otherwise.

Bankruptcy law applies to all debts once bankruptcy is declared , either by debtors petition or creditors petition.
The trustee gets paid, secured creditors next, unsecured (including ATO) get anything left.
Usually no one gets much. Except the trustee.

Eddie Bett’s story relates to a pre-season training camp run by the Adelaide Crows.
Players were subjected a “mind bending” exercise to reveal their secrets and history = supposedly in confidence – to focus on toughness and single mindedness for the coming season.
Confidences were betrayed in open session to all and sundry. Betts and some other aboriginal players felt they had betrayed family and clan.
Other players (non-aboriginal) were put through the same wringer and were pissed off by it. Josh Jenkins has now gone public about it..
A fuck up by someone in charge at Adelaide (probably the coach got sucked in) and the AFL tried to ignore it and probably instructed the AFL Players Assn to do likewise.
Not sure if it was the same camp where they did the fire walking and burnt players feet.
We are hurtling towards a socialist kleptocracy and there’s nothing out there to stop it, at least politically. It will pretend to be something else while there’s benefit in pretending. Soon there will be no need at all.
The LNP snakes have read the writing on the wall and it offers nothing for them unless they roll over and play at being “opposition”. The money and power will still be available, just not the principles which have long since fled and simply don’t matter any more.

Although the traditional Pride month in the northern hemisphere is June, Sydney WorldPride 2023 will be staged Friday 17 February – Sunday 5 March 2023 which is the traditional timing of the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras and of course, in the heart of the Australian summer!
Not only does Sydney WorldPride represent the first time the event will be staged in the southern hemisphere, but the 2023 festival coincides with the 50th anniversary of the first Australian Gay Pride Week, the 45th anniversary of the first Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras, and the fifth anniversary of Marriage Equality in Australia.

Cruz is a bulldog. He is relentless. And he he goes for the throat.
But as for Abercrombie-Winstanley: I wonder what would happen if a white male was made an officer for Diversity and Inclusion? The objections would be that a person already with access to all the supposed special rights cannot understand the gripes of the wounded. It could easily be argued that he understands them better because he actually exercises them.
Instead it must go to the aggrieved, who see these rights from the outside. Who must surmise what these special rights are.
And from what we see these imagined ‘rights’ are quite ridiculous. It is the flights of fancy as to what someone can do, overlaid with someone else can do, and the gap between them is called injustice.
Look at ‘Da Pay Gapp’. Someone thinking about all the stuff they could do with the money that some guy makes, superimposed on the reality of what they actually do, and the difference is prejudice or injustice or whatever.
And all based on reward, and no consideration of responsibility – of the 80 hours weeks, of the bearing of failure, of the risks taken. Of the ulcers, of the broken marriages and so on. All invisible from their point of view.

But Sri Lankan navy operations director Prasanna Mahawithana told The Australian authorities there had been expecting the Ocean Shield, having been made aware of the interception by the ABF and would process the returnees, who were likely to be charged with immigration offences and face court in the capital.

I have a vague memory of someone being able to create an EMP without nuclear weapons – something to do with explosively crushing different types of metal together.
If China is sending non nuclear weapons over Taiwan, could they be trying for a sucker punch of Taiwans defences, despite them being already hardened against the electromagnetic pulse?

20 Percent Of The USAF’s B-2 Force Is Deployed ‘Down Under’
The B-2 deployment to Australia comes as the USAF ramps up its presence in the Indo-Pacific region amid growing tensions with China.
Recent imagery obtained by The War Zone from Planet Labs shows four USAF B-2 Spirit stealth bombers lined up at the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) Amberley airbase in Queensland. Considering the USAF currently only operates 20 B-2 bombers, the photo provides an unprecedented glimpse from space of one-fifth of the service’s entire B-2 fleet deployed ‘down under.’ That being said, it will likely become a very normal sight as the U.S. and Australia work more closely to deter China.
The photo highlights the growing presence of USAF B-2s in Australia in recent months – signaling the U.S.’ commitment to maintaining stability within the Indo-Pacific amid growing tensions with China. The four B-2s currently stationed at Amberley were sent from the 509th Bomb Wing at Whiteman Air Force Base, Missouri, to support a Pacific Air Forces Bomber Task Force. Two B-2s arrived at Amberley on July 10, while another two B-2s arrived on July 12. While B-2s have visited Australia before, this is the first deployment of B-2s to the country as part of the Bomber Task Force (BTF), according to Janes. USAF and RAAF flyers have focused on “training missions and strategic deterrence missions” since the four USAF B-2s arrived at Amberley as part of the Enhanced Cooperation Initiative under the Force Posture Agreement between the U.S. and Australia.
The first pair of B-2s to arrive at Amberley will remain there “throughout the months of July and August and are planning to be involved in various Australian Defence Force (ADF) exercises such as Exercise ‘Koolendong’ and Exercise ‘Arnhem Thunder,’” an Australian Department of Defense spokesperson said. Exercise Koolendong 2022 wrapped up at the end of July.

You’re very perceptive.
Very depressing news, Tells me that they don’t have much.
Russia’s Defense Ministry on Thursday, August 4, announced that Moscow has been assessing whether the United States was behind the research and experiment that leaked the novel SARS-CoV-2 that causes the COVID-19 disease as well as the monkeypox virus as several Pentagon-operated Biolabs were discovered in Ukraine. It is possible that the US Agency for International Development (USAID) was behind the creation of the COVID-19 virus that claimed millions of lives worldwide.

There’s a theory about Uncle George, which is pretty credible. In a recent recent interview , Uncle George was asked very clearly why he supported some of these wacky DA’s. His answer appeared to be totally incoherent strongly suggesting he had zero idea what was going on.

The theory is that the money being distributed has a partial payback angle for the person or people responsible in the family office. They’re getting a cut. Sounds plausible.

A Voice to parliament would be an advisory body only and would not involve reparations to Indigenous Australians, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says.
Then why does the referendum wording give parliament the ability to determine the “powers” of the “voice”?
Whether “powers” is intended to have its plain English meaning or its legal technical meaning (and tell me an activist Court wouldn’t choose the one which gives the “progressives” the most latitude), why does a pure “advisory” body need “powers”. If it said “such powers as are necessary for a purely advisory function” that mightn’t be an issue (though tell me an activist Court wouldn’t give that a wide operation), but why is it just open ended?

Nuclear is too expensive and scary (except in France and other countries that have nuclear already) and one day uranium will run out, or perhaps not, depending on technology advances.
Wind and solar takes up too much space and simply doesn’t work well enough in countries which don’t get sufficient sun and wind (obviously).
Hydro also not suitable for everyone.
Coal and gas, probably, but we can’t really tell, could be killing millions of people with good old pollution (just guessing!), and of course carbon polluting bad, very bad.
If she wasn’t a warmie she’d admit in terms of reliability, cost (including the loss of thousands of acres no longer available for other purposes), footprint (yes we don’t need to rip out millions of carbon eating trees and plants for wind and solar farms) coal is best.
Was worth watching and I shared it, thank you.

Nuclear is too expensive and scary (except in France and other countries that have nuclear already) and one day uranium will run out, or perhaps not, depending on technology advances.
Complete and utter bullshit. New generation nukes use much less fissionable material greatly increasing known stock life which even with old nuke tech was measured in millennia. Same with new gen coal.
I’m interested to know what the wait time is currently for family reunion status for immigrants – it was getting quite long pre-covid, my guess is that things have settled down with inability to travel for a couple of years, and elderly parents getting older by the day. Any one know?
Iirc she claimed sixty years if nuclear was increased by a factor of 10 ie to provide 100 percent of energy needs using current technology.

Interesting question wifey. Family reunion has always been problematic to me. For every approved entrant, how many entrants do we actually get? We have approved refugees from places that they “were in danger” known to have gone back to their places of origin in apparent safety. They also have ‘rights’ to bring their extended families here. Hence the massive congestion of enclaves in areas such as where I live.
Quite frankly, I have always believed that if you want to reunite with your family, you are welcome to go home. This is a crock emanating from UN treaties.
He’s a silly wet. He liked the Jungian fluff and the sense of insight which is spurious and leads nowhere, while struggling for neutrality. Staying neutral when someone is hellbent on destroying your civilisation isn’t noble and brave. It’s blackest treachery.
The Indian subcontinent diaspora would be interesting to watch in this regard. I suspect quite a few will end up going home when their aspirations are not fulfilled to the satisfaction of their dreams, and as the mortgage interest rates climb.
Brilliant.
Only for people with monkeypox.
And:
I doubt they’ll go back in Biloela. The ‘outpouring of community support’ – that I saw, at least – was from a couple of whiny tree-changers yapping about the family having settled into the bedrock of the town.
Depends on what you mean by ‘settled’. Small towns like that have long wait times before you’re considered part of it.

In fact, they’ll be absorbed into one of the big city Sri Lankan communities. After the obligatory brief stay in one of the million dollar single-fronted townhouses with ‘Refugees Welcome Here’ signs out the front.

Matt Canavan very good in that clip above. He may be a Senator but he could be drafted in for a run as Liberal leader if the going got tough. Hawke was drafted in, late, and won hugely. After two and a half more years of Labor and the Greens, who knows what might be in the minds of the voters and who will become heir to the political throne, the person they seek to change directions? I think it will need to be someone like Canavan, who has fire and says what everyone is thinking. Pauline does that, but she’s a muddling communicator. Matt speaks well, easily, and cuts through strongly.
I feel as do Calli and Cassie; a sense of rejection and hopelessness and a desire to retreat into my own world and my own concerns. I think I will do so for a while; feel less involved and be less involved. Each of us must find our own accommodation to these mad times. This small holiday is doing me good.

Small holiday fun tonite. We decided to use the little kitchen in this one-bedroom apartment and have a good home-cooked meal of steak and salad with sweet potato chips, and relax ‘at home’. The pub meal last nite had been disappointing. There is a fully equipped kitchen but the induction stove is one of those ones with obscure modes of operation, sliding your finger and tapping lightly and hopefully in the right place, for nothing was apparent. The stove got greasy, the tapping stopped working, the steak was on high and we couldn’t turn the damn hotplates down, the extractor fan was feeble and the fire alarm went off just after I had raced to open the doors to the balcony and started waving a tea-towel around to dispell the fug. This is a very large resort complex and I was feared we would call the place out, with everyone having to troop downstairs.
But the alarm stopped, I continued waving my teatowel getting a through draft via the entrance door to the open balcony door, and soon there appeared a security man and a housekeeper woman. They were very nice. Cooking? they enquired. Those stoves are so difficult to work, consoled the woman. No worries, said the security, you’ve got the extractor fan on and the doors open, the alarms off on the main console downstairs, and we’ve investigated, but next time, don’t open the door to the corridor as this can bring out the whole building.
He thought there would be a next time! I’m never coming back to this stove again.

Can’t seem to find the data behind it but a few parties are now quoting each other.
If true, that’s a pretty penny.
FTB, that is very strange behavior. The current regime is merciless. It plays you off against family, friends, and allies because it wants you alone.

ATO went through an unannounced process to take debts off the record as “uncollectable” 3-4 years ago. Reduced the amount of unpaid tax to buggery for government reporting.
Of course, the debt was easily resurrected especially if a tax return was lodged with a refund result.

You’re posting on the old thread, Lizzie.
Glad you enjoyed the link, Rosie.
Sad she is a warmie, but there you are.
Economics and resource extraction are a little out of her wheelhouse but she still makes a robust case for nuclear on environmental grounds and the human cost, and she is alive to the fact that whatever the economics now she is still open minded, seeing that things evolve with time – a concept greenies and most warmies are determined to remain blind to.
Typically greenies will insist that nuclear is not economic and then sit smugly back as if they have delivered the last word (this is when talking to someone open to nuclear despite all the ooga-booga that greenies, hippies, and other luddites have been prattling on with since the 60s). But she acknowledges that nuclear would get cheaper, and then went on to discuss new forms of nuclear already heading that way.
One of the commenters is a lecturer at UNSW on a mining discipline who points out to her that the estimate of uranium available to us would be severely limited by the reluctance to search for and identify new reserves in these benighted ‘green’ times. But if, for example, the reserves of copper as known in 1980 happened to be all their was, we would have run out in the 2010’s (or thereabouts).
Clearly we haven’t.
And I love the way she pronounces Einstein – in German!

“I have a vague memory of someone being able to create an EMP without nuclear weapons …”
IIRC, a linear array of single-loop coils and some conventional explosive at one end.
Coil spacing, current interruption and explosive shock wave velocity arranged such that all the “edges” of the magnetic field collapse in each coil align, creating the desired sharp-edged pulse in one direction (opposite end to explosive).
Obviously less intense than nuclear, but also can be a “focused” attack too – you can take out radar, comms etc at the military sites without wiping out all the civilian infrastructure too. And of course, no radioactivity issues either. And presumably can be assembled with minimal training and little “restricted” materials.
