It’s sad because sociology can actually be a demanding and insightful discipline. Durkheim, Shils, Tonnes, Weber, etc. produced a substantive body of work.
Senator Thorpe is more stupid than she knows.
1) her idiocy in the Senate swearing-in process will do more to drive people away from “the voice” than she realises, and
2) her rallying cry for some sort of inquiry into violence against Aboriginal women will merely show that 95% of it comes from Aboriginal males.
Probably not surprising. Wiki tells us:
…back to Fitzroy High for Year 9, but left soon afterwards, at the age of 14.
– Her first job was working with her uncle Robbie Thorpe, at the Koori Information Centre at 120 Gertrude Street, Fitzroy, which at that time was “a hub of Black political activity”
– She holds a Diploma of Community Development from Swinburne University of Technology, a graduate certificate in public sector management, and a Certificate IV Indigenous Leadership.
– She became a single mother at the age of 17.
– In 2013, Thorpe was declared bankrupt, with over A$700,000 in debts, including monies owed to Indigenous Business Australia, and A$55,000 owed to the Australian Taxation Office. She said that her bankruptcy resulted from domestic violence.
And then came the queer theorists, fat studies advocates and radical cyber feminists.

https://www.sciencealert.com/scientists-have-figured-out-a-way-to-restore-cell-functions-in-dead-pigs
To address the problem, a new system has been shown to restore some organ, cellular, and molecular function in dead pigs, and to preserve their tissues, even when the treatment is only initiated one hour after cardiac arrest.
The researchers adapted an existing technology called BrainEx, which has been shown to restore some function in isolated pig brains hours after death.
Their new system, called OrganEx, is intended for whole-body use in large mammals.
OrganEx has two components: a machine, and a fluid.
The machine is connected to the circulatory system. It creates a pulse similar to a heartbeat and oxygenates the fluid, similar to an ECMO. Where it stands apart is in the way it adds drugs to aid circulation and prevent clotting.
The machine also includes a number of sensors for important features of circulation like metabolism, hemoglobin, pressure, and flow.
It pumps synthetic fluid, mixed with the animal’s own blood at a 1:1 ratio, through the dead animal’s whole body. This fluid, unlike blood, is not made up of cells, although it is designed to protect cells from harm, and carry oxygen and drugs throughout the body.
Interesting stuff, will be great for transplantation.
And at least we know why Biden is able to stumble around and read cue cards.
Brain cell numbers had diminished in all treatment groups, except for OrganEx, where, in some sections of the brain, minimal damage had occurred, and in the prefrontal cortex, cells had been recovered to similar levels as the group that had not been exposed to warm ischemia.
An Aboriginal woman is 45 times more likely to experience domestic violence than a white woman. Violence patterns are passed on from parents to their children.
The writings by the early colonial ‘oppressors’ attested to that but hey! they were the colonisers what would they know right?
It is not merely the historical evidence of early contact with these communities that describes the horrific tribal violence inflicted upon Aboriginal women. Archaeological evidence also reveals terrible fractures to the skulls of women in pre settlement times.
Langton knows very well that Aboriginal society is patriarchal. The men dominated “ceremony” and consequently maintenance of “laws.” Lives were lost in fights over stolen women, including those of women who may have been “stolen”, but who were nevertheless often blamed for the infidelity and violation of tribal law.

The new AIMS annual survey is in with the shocking result that not only was last year a record, but this year is even better. There is more coral cover on the Great Barrier Reef than ever recorded. We’ve had four bleaching events in the last seven years, and record hottest ever heat, the highest CO2 levels recorded since we invented ways to record CO2, and yet, despite all that, the reef is thriving.

If it were such an egregious there would be a steady deluge of lawsuits where the women showed they were being paid less for the same work. They would have the support of whole government departments dedicated to asserting their rights.
Has the ABC ever wondered why we don’t have that?
There would be headlines as high profile companies discovered they “couldn’t get away with it”, as a warning to everyone else.
It is like the stolen generations. A damnable injustice perpetrated by White Australia! We just can’t find any cases where White Australia actually did it.
A new low, even for the Alice:
A video has captured a naked man – who had allegedly just seriously assaulted a woman – holding his penis before climbing on top of a taxi and smashing the windscreen with his feet, then sitting on the roof of the car as the driver takes off.
The security video shot in Alice Springs shows the man wearing only casual shoes, and holding his penis with both hands, while jumping onto the bonnet of a taxi at a rank, before stomping on and breaking the glass of the windscreen in front of the driver’s face.
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. The video ends there.
NT Independent
Russian billionaire Alexander Abramov claims he has suffered business losses and severe damage to his reputation in the months after the Australian government included him on a list of sanctioned individuals over the war in Ukraine.
Abramov, who made his estimated $9 billion fortune in the steel industry, has launched legal action in the Federal Court against Australia’s then foreign affairs minister in an attempt to be removed from the list of business, military and political figures hit with sanctions in April.
.. and yet on ABC radio yesterday (yes, I know – but I was driving in the country) some wonk from the AIMS was still doom and gloom, because apparently the fast-colonising corals which moved in are, get this, more susceptible to future damage. There’s no half glass with these people, its all empty, all the time.

I’m not impressed with his taxi hailing technique.
Perhaps he should try the traditional style by simply waving his hand.

I thought bankruptcy disqualified you from standing? Does it have to be current or historical? And, if current, how did she become “unbankrupt?”
The new coral will form, then it will die. It has been ever thus.

Running round in the nude in the NT sure gets you a great suntan.
On the corals – volunteer species are always the first to colonise. They are generally short lived but provide shelter and microclimate for longer lived species to re-establish. They get browsed, attacked by pests, all the usual perils.
This happens in areas after bushfire or clearing.
I don’t see why it would be any different for reefs.
Stick a fork in ’em, they’re done:
Young Liberals report blames election loss on climate inaction, inadequate female representation and opposition to a federal crime commission.
Well, domesticity came with the settlers, so it is kind of right.
Violence against women was here loooong before whitey turned up.
As for there being rallies and protests when a white woman is murdered – wtf? The most they can hope for is a line that they were murdered – perhaps (on a slow news day) a neighbour will tell a Channel 7 camera that “She was a lovely lady” or “She kept to herself” and that is it.
Does Lidia imagine that the death of an Aboriginal woman in the cities is not reported?
She sort of (unwittingly – always her best side) has a point. There is terrible violence in some communities. But if it is unreported on TV part of the reason is that it is far away. But there is also the problem that the killers are almost certainly also Aboriginal, and to protect the narrative of the helpless victim race, they must gloss over the actual victim women to avoid mentioning the helpless victim perpetrators.
There are areas of Sydney where violence against women is sadly more common. Wastelands steeped in booze and drugs, peopled by the feckless and the enervated without the initiative or will to improve their lot, where crime and violence in all forms is commonplace.
Sound like anywhere you know, Lidia?
I really missed out of the cultural delights of Alice Springs. I must go back and keep my eyes peeled.
Outwardly Glencore, one of the world’s largest producers and traders of thermal coal, is circumspect about the future of the commodity, commonly referred to as the world’s dirtiest fuel. A crushing energy crisis, the Russian invasion of Ukraine and years of underinvestment in new coal supply have seen the commodity surge to record highs of in and around US$400/t.
Asked about whether it would consider reversing its position on running down its coal production along with net zero targets by 2050 on an earnings call yesterday, CEO Gary Nagle said the company remained aligned with the positions of global governments.
“We will not divert from our plan to responsibly run down our coal business. We made a commitment to our stakeholders, we made a commitment to the world. It’s right for the world and we will continue down that path,” he said.
“It’s not negotiable. I mean, in an extreme event that all the governments of the world come together and say, we’re putting a pause on (responding to) climate change, and we need energy security and please produce more coal… yes, we would.
“I think that’s very unlikely to happen.”
Inwardly Glencore’s traders are probably running around the halls of its Swiss offices singing “coal, coal, coal, coal” the way Vikings lovingly sing about spam in the world of Monty Python.
For Glencore coal’s magic 2022 run has translated into a stunning 800%+ lift in earnings per share from US0.10c to US0.92c in the first half of 2022, with coal sales the backbone of a jump of 119% in adjusted first half EBITDA to US$18.9b.
Coal earnings rose like a phoenix from the CO2 emitting ashes, climbing from US$912m in the first half of 2021 to US$8.9b in the first half of 2022. Energy trading (up 344%) was also the biggest contributor to a 104% earnings lift in Glencore’s marketing division to US$3.7b. Metals and mining fell 17% as prices for hard commodities fell off.
Margins in Glencore’s coal operations rose a staggering 760% in the past year to US$160.8b. At spot levels, it will generate US$20b in earnings in 2022 at a margin of US$165/t. Glencore will pay US$4.5 billion back to shareholders including a US$3 billion share buyback, taking its capital returns for 2022 to around US$8.5b.
Glencore expects spot adjusted EBITDA of over US$32 billion in 2022, against US$21.3b in 2021.

Her needs outstripped her abilities.
No wonder she found a home with the greeds.
Before that the locals were beating the cr*p out of the weak and fearful in the bushland or under the stars.
Fortunately whitey brought nice houses with handy floorboards to rip up and use instead, thus saving precious time stripping the trees for weapons. And don’t forget bricks and iron bars. Excellent for a bit of “domestic” biffo.
The Great Barrier Reef has been on the point of oblivion for donkey’s years according to all these Uni based marine experts. “We must do something” they howl.
Next winter, right on cue, said marine experts and a bevy of attractive young “research assistants” book into the many luxury resorts along the Reef, buy up the latest scuba gear and underwater cameras on the taxpayer credit card and go “researching”. The accompanying 5 star dinners are just another burden the are forced to carry in this vitally important mission.
Nice work if you can get it.
“Young Liberals report blames election loss on climate inaction, inadequate female representation and opposition to a federal crime commission.”
Note how the three issues are all “Steal” issues. No wonder Albanese is laughing.

Perhaps I am being unfair, but my image of anyone who joins the Liberals when they are young is of an effete little sycophant (lapdog) looking for arse to kiss so they can rise to mediocrity.
In my uni days Young Labor, on the other hand, were mongrels. They were leftist idealists (i.e. wrong) but who felt they needed a machine to be effective.
The Sparts, Left Action, Young Socialists, etc were just rabid.
The amusing thing is that 1/16th Thorpe wouldn’t be Thorpe at all without the “invasion”.
She focusses her entire existence on a tiny part of her heritage and throws away the rest as garbage. It’s obsession, like forever mulling over that one famous ancestor, Derbeyfield style.
But it’s a nice earner, so it may just be opportunism and greed.

Well I’ll be blowed! PM to take leave is the announcement. Don’t worry too much, he’ll be back in September to take over the reins again. Or should I have left out the apostrophe?

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.

The trustee gets paid, secured creditors next, unsecured (including ATO) get anything left.

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.

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.

Not sure what goes on here. An acquaintance of mine, dependant on an Aged Pension, has a considerable debt to the ATO coming via the CSA which we know is part of the aforementioned body. The offspring for which the debt was accrued is now over 30 years of age and the principle of the debt, and more, has been long paid. The guy’s magnanimous pension is deducted fortnightly to recover “interest payments” apparently now in the tens of thousands of dollars. His fortnightly deductions have just been increased. Is this where we want to be?

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.

Labor a bit touchy about being seen as weak on border control:
An Australian Border force ship, which intercepted a people smugglers’ boat carrying 46 Sri Lankans, has docked in Colombo port in what is believed to be the first Australian deportation by sea of Sri Lankan asylum seekers.
Sri Lankan naval authorities confirmed the ABF Ocean Shield arrived in Sri Lankan waters outside the high security port in the Sri Lankan capital about 9am Friday morning (local time) and offloaded the Sri Lankan returnees.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
