Turtlehead, Driller the stoush troll is not going to save you and ignoring the question isn’t either. Answer the question, you complete ignoramus.
I can’t stand the way that schumer piece of shit always looks over his glasses. The evil of these people and their hatred of ordinary working Americans really shocks me. Yet morons and dead shits in NY vote for the old turd. Though I suppose 71 is young compared to the dirty old woman and the old thief.

There are Millions of Cameras Around the World Made by a State-Run Chinese Company. Guess Whose Servers They Tried Connecting To?
The exhaustingly politically correct Brits decided they needed to install cameras made by the Chinese throughout the UK. I’m not suggesting they went with a Chinese company due to “wokeness,” but I will say this: they recently arrested a decorated veteran for “causing anxiety” with a Twitter post.
The UK’s Channel 4 News is reporting that British authorities have installed roughly “one million cameras in every aspect of British life” made by a Chinese company called “Hikvision.” They have been posted in schools, top-secret laboratories, and police buildings. And it’s not just the Brits who are using them. “They [Hikvision] are the biggest providers of surveillance technology on earth,” reported Channel 4 News.
The video says that no one knows just how many Hikvision cameras are posted worldwide—that’s about to become very important—though they are believed to own one-third of the market share and produce 36 million cameras per year
Italian news reported last year that there are 140 Hikvision cameras at an Italian airport, and they were caught trying to connect with Chinese servers, making 11,000 unauthorized requests per hour. Hikvision claimed it was due to “outdated codes.”
At least a million CCTV cameras supplied by a Chinese state-owned company are installed in the UK.
Channel 4 News can reveal the government has turned down a request to meet the company amid security concerns, with reports of some cameras trying to connect to Chinese servers.
“I’ve now begun to describe this [Hikvision cameras] as digital asbestos,” said Prof. Fraser Sampson, the UK’s CCTV commissioner.
Population growth (which is entirely due to immigration in Australia) causes inequality. Budgets are so structured that rising inequality raises tax levels.

2. Can you explain how population growth raises inequality.
Representatives are Too Invested in Defense Contractors
As Congress considers two monumentally important pieces of legislative business — the annual defense policy bill and a historic reform to congressional ethics rules — it is worth taking some time to consider just how deep the potential for corruption goes in both these areas and how they intersect with one another. In other words, congressional corruption and ethical failings are inextricably linked to the military-industrial-congressional complex — the unhealthy intersection between Congress and the defense sector. This situation calls for serious reforms, and Congress is the only stakeholder that can make that happen.
A Cozy Relationship
There are few examples that better highlight the ethical dysfunction in Congress than the excessively cozy relationship between policymakers and the defense industry. Each year, including this one, members of the House and Senate armed services committees and the House and Senate appropriations committees craft the policy and allocate the hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars that fund the Pentagon. The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) is the primary vehicle for defense policy. The accompanying appropriations bill allocates the money to operationalize the policy laid out in the NDAA. To put this in perspective, consider that the defense budget now clocks in at more than $800 billion and the Pentagon allocated $420 billion in contracts in fiscal year 2020 — over half the total defense budget and a contract dollar amount larger than every other federal agency combined.
In light of the scale and scope of defense spending, reasonable observers could be forgiven for assuming there might be some prudential rules in place to prevent corruption when it comes to Congress’s work regarding the defense industry. Unfortunately, there are virtually no such rules. In fact, the current framework around congressional conflicts of interest and campaign finance regarding industry relationships is so permissive as to all but guarantee the perversion of the policymaking process in this area.
– A Cash Cow for Congressional Committees
– Solutions
There are related areas that demand reform, including the revolving door between Congress and the defense industry. It is all too common for former members of Congress and staffers on committees related to the defense industry to immediately transition to employment with a defense firm, or to begin work as a lobbyist or consultant for defense firms before returning to Congress again (in the case of staffers, at least). This phenomenon calls into question the incentives and interests of congressional staffers and members on defense-related committees when they may be eyeing more lucrative employment with the sectors and companies they are ostensibly overseeing and regulating. It’s worth considering stronger rules surrounding cooling-off periods — the mandatory wait time between holding official positions and accepting employment with a related industry or company — and restrictions on employment-related communications between officials or staffers and potential future employers.

You can imagine, Anal, how little I care about your drunken thunderings.
Now buzz off while I get busy hiring some people from overseas.
One other thing, Dogs. The idiot’s statement was this:
What are these lurks and perks that the cost of current citizenry?
Dover Beach:
Thanks.
I wish the Rumbles would put subtitles on their channel.
Of course you don’t Driller, which is why you stoush troll my comments to others at every opportunity. It’s because you care so little. Sure, you dishonest fuckwit.
Lol..I don’t think you can even afford to pay for yourself, dickhead.
Now answer the questions or fuck off.
Whoops.. that cost.
There may be something in such a claim.
The Nadeslingam/Murugappan (Biloela) family have had one helluva lot of taxpayer money expended on them.
Such outliers aside, there’s a fair bit spent on illegal/refugee/asylum seeker arrivals (choose preferred descriptor) They get fed, housed, & a helluva lot thrown at them. (Not all of this may be getting declared, there’s a million ways to fudge statistics & hide expenditure, as anyone who’s been near a government program well knows)
Pre-citizenship, all my (overseas) staff get no end of government attention, mostly from the public service trying to influence them out of doing any work.
I’d wager that the immigrant lurks & perks (if any) pale alongside the expenditure on & around our First Nations mystics. (& we can see what a helluva waste most of that money is)
Some things never change.
Naturally Anal won’t be producing any… evidence… to support this claim.
(Yet will continue to demand others produce evidence for their far more plausible claims)
It’s an Albanese alright.
Yep, drunk blogging confirmed.

You’re insinuating that I should dox you ? Really? Driller, you really should be careful who you think your friends are. Some can’t stand you and slag you at every opportunity on discussion boards. Some of your “friends” think you’re a terminal dickhead.
The difference is that if I prove you’re a broken down loser, I would be banned for doxing you and that would be reasonable. Asking someone to prove their assertion about the lurks and perks of immigration is not the same thing, you criminally dishonest cunt.
Driller, you’ve been caught by others here bignoting and bullshitting. It’s not for me to disprove your assertions, you criminally dishonest turd. You made the assertion that public servants pester new arrivals trying to talk them into not working. Here:
It’s not up to prove a negative, you dishonest turd. It’s up to you to show how it isn’t crap.

Correct – the Lake has been doing its thang for thousands of years, and leaving a lot of salt behind.
Even quadrupling its size would fail to retain rainwater.
It needs an outlet to flush the millions of tons of salt out and a connection between the different puddles. Also a canal to the Great Australian Bight – I doubt the SA mob would like a few million tons of muddy salty water discharged into Spencer Gulf.

Oh yeah, you’re always missing in action when it’s time to get the chequebook out.
Your Highness.
Hahahahaha
Labor royalty. Drills, you horrendous blowhard.
Your highness, people speak in confidence and I don’t squeal. Furthermore you don’t have a million dollars.
Explain why I’m not.
Are you confident enough to bet, say One Million dollars on this?
What could possibly go wrong, being as you’re correct?
You’re in no danger of ever being accused of possessing propriety or manners – so don’t hold back.
Except you’re lying (as usual).
Prepared to bet a million dollars on that?
What could go wrong for you? Easy way to pick up another million or so. You’d be on a dead cert.
Your highness.
Perhaps because you’re a lowlife grub and it’s transparently obvious to us. But more noteworthy, who self describes like that other than an anonymous blowhard.

Genuflecting or doffing caps are both less risk than accepting his cheque.
Unless you’re playing tennis & are short of a ball.

Your highness, I’m not going to name people who speak in confidence.
Labor Royalty.. FMD what a jerkoff.
It’s so heartbreaking to learn my friends are dumping on me to a Melbourne queer-eye-for-the-straight-guy furniture expert, fashion aficionado & bet-welcher.
I’m not sure I’ll ever recover emotionally from this shock.
“We were fit and well trained. I probably didn’t appreciate how well prepared until I began to encounter others who weren’t, including the Americans.”
I thought all National Servicemen were issued a rifle and a set of greens, and driven to the airport, in the back seat of Bob Menzies’s Rolls Royce?
That’s not a bad way to admit being a liar.
I may use it myself – should I ever break my honesty duck & actually verbalise a falsehood.
My friends are phoning some shifty snitch two states away, in Melbourne ffs.
Yeah. Possible. Like it is possible JC Albanese may pony up for one of those big cash bets he’s always threatening others with.
Most people I know have never heard of Victoria, never mind get the phone book out & make a trunk call for the purpose of dogging me to some New Australian of dubious morals.
Good.
Among all the possible terrible outcomes of a yes vote, I forgot an important one. They don’t like the word Aboriginal because it’s a European word. They don’t like indigenous either, for the same reason.
Yet they like first nations, even though nation is a European concept. So why do they like it? Well, it implies sovereignty. They even talk about walking with Australia, which, reading between the lines, implies equal status with Australia, the country, not it’s people.
So where in the proposed constitutional change does it exclude the possibility of the voice making deals with other countries, like, say, China?
It doesn’t. The letter of the law is everything. What it meant is irrelevant, unless activist judges want it to, which they won’t in this instance. Even without making explicit deals with China, it represents an enormous opportunity for China to buy influence.
This is Pandora’s box on steroids.
Your Highness.
You know it’s not. Drills, people really can’t stand you. Can’t imagine why, can you? 🙂
Shanghai’ed, hooded, drugged & tied up in the back of an Acco, only revived & let go once they’ve reached the funny farm.
“Congratulations soldier, you’ve just volunteered for a 12 month tour – we need more men like you!”

Nothing has changed.
Labor Royalty pulls rank all the way from FNQ.
New Australian? His highness uses the Indig argument without realizing it.
Dubious morals? Prince Andrew is a mensch and the UK will bow to him. Barely legal girls are drillable. Those morals?
Labor Royalty alright.
You have a source for this “FNQ” claim?
Go……..!
Explain why you believe I’m not indigenous.
Go…….!
Your lack of morals is indisputable.
You got me on that one. I concede.
One of the more notable clauses of the “Barunga Draft Treaty”, from 1988, was the infamous Clause 7.
‘ Australians are to pay the Aboriginal Nation compensation……Compensation rates to equal not less then 7% of GDP for the first ten years, 5% for the following ten years, and 2.5% of GDP in perpetuity.”
I ran out of fingers and toes quite early in the piece, but, with Australian G.D.P. of 1.3 trillion dollars, compensation would amount to 91 billion dollars a year for the first ten years, 65 billion dollars a year for the next ten years, and 35 billion dollars a year in perpetuity – oh, and that’s on top of all the benefits already paid to Aboriginal people……..
You, your highness.
Two weeks ago, you were blowharding to Rabz that you’re Venetian. You could be a self-hating indig because you’re always speaking badly about them, but I doubt it. You’re just a redneck boofhead, Drills. No biggie.
Anyway, enuff, you’re so, so boring, Driller.
(People really, really don’t like you).
The Tele:
Oh ho ho ho. Do it, Kean. Cash up where your gob is.
Receiving you 5, Dover.
After years of bloviating on “FNQ” you’ve been called on it, & cannot back it up.
No surprise.
So nothing other than I may not be full-blood (Der.. you dickhead)
You’re new to this “evidence” gig, aren’t you?
“People say…..”
That’s how sub-standard journalists dress opinion up as news.
We’ve all got the picture by now, Mr. “Evidence”. Really we have. You make stuff up, claim to be receiving a disturbing number of emails agreeing with you, & present it as fact.
Easy to see there’s no data analysis anywhere in your skillset or background.
Apart from the extortion to begin with, the sheer absurdity of a 1% Aboriginal getting the same as a 100%, and infinitely more than some someone a mere 1% less aboriginality is mind bogglingly wrong. Your rich neighbour with a distant Koori relative can have a cool $100 grand thrown his way each year for him and each of his kids while you pay through the nose in taxes to fund it.
How very Orwellian to call injustice justice.
That’s not moving Beer W.
20% would be fucking hilarious.
Yea, but you’d really have to wonder about the 20%. 🙂
Who’s the biggest POOBUM? Pathetic! Just pathetic. Grow up or fuck off.

Would they press on at this rate?
As Australian’s get crunched by utilities and home repayments, their tolerance for this shit will drop even further.
Normally, 10% of the population could be expected to jump on any stupid idea, with decades of Marxist indoctrination, you can stretch that a further 10%.
Yikes, dumb & dumber…

It’s like a lot of the stupidness.
Like putting females into Infantry Battalion’s, etc.
They drone endlessly about stopping violence against women, but then push them into the most violent occupations and sports, and demand they be thought of as no different to their male counterparts.
You either believe women should be protected from the practices and instincts of the stronger sex, or you accept that they are no different and that occasionally their behaviour warrants them being dragged out of the boozer for a bit of ‘dead ground counselling’.
If you want to pound into your soldiers that a wounded women should be left to her own devices during a fire through (as is expected by males), and demand they mix it up with boys during ‘milling’, then don’t be surprised when such indoctrination overflows into civilian life, and the long tradition of chivalry disintegrates.
They can’t have it both ways.
Women who want to be men, don’t fully understand what being a man entails…and vice versa.
Amazing if this happens.
The only women who want to be men are the radical feminists, who’ve just found out they’ve been relegated to the ladies auxiliary by those at the top of the leftist totem pole, the male poofter industrial complex, who, fresh from their victory in the poofter marriage campaign, just invented the trans rights movement primarily to break down the barriers for pedophiles lusting after young children.
As Calli says, the madness of trying to reverse gender roles will end only after a male poofter pretending to be female kills someone on the sports field.
They drone endlessly about stopping violence against women, but then push them into the most violent occupations and sports, and demand they be thought of as no different to their male counterparts.
This shows the true motives of cultural marxists- it’s all about turning society upside down. A very fine scholar (as opposed at a marxist don) said to me in 1986 that the world had been turned upside down, that what had been considered undesirable was now celebrated.

Did Nancy Pelosi Travel to Taiwan to Increase Her Family Fortune? It Appears Her Son Paul Was With Her in Asia
If Paul Pelosi Jr. did accompany his mother on her August 2-3, 2022 trip to Taiwan, is he playing the same role for Nancy Pelosi as Hunter Biden played for Joe Biden, enriching the family through influence peddling?
Like Hunter Biden, Paul Pelosi Jr. has been linked to many shady business dealings but has never been prosecuted.
Paul Pelosi also was involved in Ukraine (and therefore so was his mother).
Paul Pelosi Jr. Quid-Pro-Joe and his son Hunter are not the only Democrat family members cashing in on their prominent positions. Nancy Pelosi’s son Paul is also on the board of an energy company. Paul Pelosi Jr. also traveled to Ukraine. AND — Better Yet — Speaker Nancy Pelosi even appears in the company’s video
So, the question is, what was the true purpose of Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan that has risked war with China?
My guess is that it is about computer chips and the family fortune, not diplomacy.

All Those Naked Hunter Biden Selfies That Keep Floating Around Are Allegedly Due to Body Dysmorphia
Back in May, the Clorox company announced another major round of price hikes to its products, including its popular bleach products. Because of the floundering economy and inflation, the company is making the necessary adjustments. As of right now, the current price at my nearest Walmart is $16.99 for two 121 oz. bottles of bleach.
242 ounces of Clorox bleach is just about enough bleach for my eyes to recover from this exclusive piece at the New York Post. I cannot bring myself to endorse clicking on the link there, because I don’t want you to see the images in that story and disconnect your Internet and throw away your computer in the style of Ron Swanson.
In the piece, titled “Hunter Biden attributes his penis obsession to ‘body dysmorphia’”, the Post details how notes found on the President’s son’s computer detail an obsession with his “9-inch very big penis,” and why he took so many with it out on display.
Thankfully, the Post asked a psychotherapist to dive into the psychology here, which I am sure we are all grateful for.
Highly likely OldOzzie- the mafia princess is only capable of evil. To call Pelosi dirt is an insult to dirt.
Mater, mate who was in an RAR battalion reckons it has been absolute failure and the amount of special allowance that have been made to get women through has been scandalous. He said when he left about 4 out of 10 made it out of training. Within a year that number had fell to around 2 out of 10 due to injuries, buyers remorse or just simply finding a boyfriend. He reckons by the end of their 2 year ROSO there between 0 & 1 out of 10 left. He reckons from those he still knows in those numbers are still relevant.
The seniors quietly talk about what a waste it is but they know that it won’t change back till a real peer on peer war breaks out. Apparently then most think we will move to an Israeli style system.

Lake Eyre, I reckon if we dug a channel around a Km wide and say 50m deep from the ocean it would work, channel big enough to allow for water flow at top and bottom in opposite directions and it would be just normal seawater even with evaporation. The channel could be relatively cheaply dug with nukes. Love to see it done, it couldn’t make things out there any worse.

After the ratings disaster of Piers Morgan Uncensored — brought to us via Ruperdink Mudrock’s $60 million global Piers Morgan media deal — Sky News Australia had to think of something to fill the 9pm hole when it axed the Morgan show after only a few months.
Happily, it has turned to the host of Sky’s most popular show, Sunday morning’s Outsiders, and will soon launch The World of Rowan Dean, to be aired on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays at 9pm.
All it has to be is more popular than the hopeless Morgan show, which sank without a trace with fewer than 20,000 sets of eyeballs tuning in.
I predict it will soon challenge the nightly ratings of Credlin and Blot.

Sancho, yep both directions, if it was 50m deep the lower water would be cooler and flow in a different direction than the higher water, lots of different currents at different levels in any body of water. Lake Eyre is around 15m below sea level, plenty of room, the channel depth is just to create current.

Plenty of opinion online about the possible effects. The geology part though is the biggest hurdle. Area between Lake Eyre and Torrens down to the northern areas of Port Augusta there is a an elevated hilly complex of height between 100 & 150m. No way round it you would have to dig/blast through it. Also soils round lake Eyre saline and nutrient poor.

This is the West in 2022, when an unashamed pervert, fetishist and all round male cheat is allowed to compete against biological women, all in the name of “inclusion”, “diversity” and “equity”. If you dare to question or critique such ludicrousness, you’re smeared as a bigot and hateful, something I was on Peter Smith’s excellent thread here the other day by Monty and some commentator called, appropriately, “Hubris”.
It won’t stop until a woman/girl is either horrifically injured or dead…and that day approaches.
We’re now being bullied, gaslighted and groomed into tolerating the sinister, the dangerous and the menacing. I don’t know about others but I will not acquiesce or submit to this.

The Scottish government has shared reports demonstrating excess deaths occurring during the pandemic however, according to an academic researcher, this same government has omitted the distinct possibility that these deaths are linked to adverse effects of the COVID-19 vaccines. The national government within the UK acknowledged these excess deaths and pointed the finger at one of two culprits, including A) COVID-19 caseload or 2) indirect health impacts of the pandemic. What they do not utter a word on are the results of an inquiry conducted that evidence significant excess death data yet suggests another potential source of the rise in deaths: adverse effects of the COVID-19 vaccines. Recently Professor Richard Enos went on the record to feature a Scottish government inquiry linking excess deaths and COVID-19 vaccines. In an interview on GBN News, Professor Richard Enos shared that based on data from 2021 and now 2022, it would appear that the cause of the deaths is linked to adverse effects from the COVID-19 vaccines. Enos suggests the Scottish government actively suppresses the real-world data finding that the COVID-19 vaccines are somehow linked to the excess deaths.

Interesting, you know what this is paving the way for “self ID”….so some pervert and cheat can turn up and want to play against the women. I’ll speak to my sister about this, she’s a excellent golfer and plays twice a week and every weekend. Anyone who thinks I’m assertive hasn’t met my sister or mother, I’m a mouse compared to them. She’ll have something to say about this. She’s already warned various people that if she ever turns up to play and there’s a male who identifies as a female in the ladies comp, she’ll won’t play and she’ll walk away.
Poll: Majority of Americans Regret Taking Covid Vaccine
Grand Sale
Tehehehehe, runs away and hides.
I don’t know if it is about chaps identifying.
I think it is about lower skilled men golfers playing off the women’s tees.
I don’t think it is anything sinister. More likely the aim is to speed up play and get more groups through.
Calli, Cassie (& others); Death of a petite female on the sports field (or arena) at the hands of a masculine bloke, will likely be the catalyst for females finally jacking up en masse & refusing to participate in the charade.
That’s what it will take to trigger a return to reality.
Nothing that’s happened yet has triggered a boycott. It’ll have to be a shocker, akin to a quail being crushed in the jaws of a gun dog.
That photo of the balding bloke chasing down a very feminine & younger player is excellent. In the unpixellated version it is even more effective, as she’s quite feminine & gamine in facial features.
Husband and wife of 40 years. Both avid golfers, and played together three times a week throughout their marriage.
One day, walking down the sixth fairway, husband says to wife ‘I have a confession to make. Thirty years ago, I had an affair with my secretary. It lasted a fortnight, it never meant anything, nothing like that happened before or since and I’ve always loved you. I can’t keep it a secret any more, and I hope you can forgive me.’
Wife thinks about this for a while, and then says ‘You’ve always been a loving husband, and never given up on our marriage through thick and thin. I know you love me. All right. I forgive you.’
The 17th has water down the left side of the fairway. While waiting for their approach shots into the green, the wife says ‘Actually, I have a confession to make too. Before we met and married, I was a man.
‘I had a sex change when I was overseas. I was never comfortable in a male body, and I never told you. I should have said something, but I knew how much you loved me and I never had the courage to tell you until today. I hope you can forgive me.’
Husband stares at his wife, then grabs his clubs and throws them all into the lake. ‘You FUCKIN’ BITCH’, he screamed.
‘Do you mean to tell me that you been playing off the LADIES’ TEES ALL THIS FUCKIN’ TIME?’

Before the May election, Katherine Deves, who ran against one of the Stepford Skanks, was smeared and ridiculed as a bigot and “transphobe” by the MSM, by progressives, and worse, by so called Liberal scum such as Karma Sharma, Rent Zimmerboy and Matt Green Kean, who all called for her to be disendorsed and actively participating in Deves’ lynching. Why? Because Deves dared to speak the truth about women’s sport and the “transitioning” of children, which she accurately called “mutilation”. Mutilation can happen either through surgery or through pharmaceuticals. Anyway, Deves has been vindicated.

Early Australian irrigation projects were hot beds of intrigue, but generally they were privately funded, at least until they proved themselves with government then jumping on the bandwagon.
(Quite incredible projects when you consider the equipment available.)
Of course any large scale project in Australia is pie in the sky unless the grifters can get a slice of the action and smooth the way with the indigenous and environmental lobbies.
Back in the day I had the odd round up at Joondalup Resort, a Trent Jones course that regularly appears in golf magazines because a couple of holes are so photogenic. It had blue and white tees for the men. The white (I think) were like the championship or members tees, the club operates on a hybrid model, and we’re a bit of a grind if you were having a bad day. If you moved up to the blues you could basically fly all the fairway bunkers and it became a bit of a (relative) doddle. Not sure what the answer is. The time to play golf is an issue with many public courses basically unplayable on weekends, even if you can get a tee time.
Would California exist were it not for early century irrigation projects that would never secure approval today?
Would California exist were it not for early century irrigation projects that would never secure approval today?
There were quite a few US experts involved in early Australian irrigation projects.
Think the sugar cane railways were built by the co-ops as well. Over 100 years ago too.
Imagine if Government was smaller and less interfering?
Dr Tony Lin, shocking data from the UK:

With c. 50% of Australia under native title (soon to be 60%+), good luck getting any irrigation project underway if it involves diverting major watercourses with Dreaming significance.

Played once at Joondalup as part of a WA course tour of sorts.
I think it was that course that had, on one hole, less of a fairway bunker than a giant, yawning abyss as big (and deep) as an average back yard in the middle of the fairway.
Soul-destroying.
good luck getting any irrigation project underway
Are you suggesting that we get approval for the plan?!!
Interesting details about the property dispute in the Whit Sundays which resulted in 3 dead by shooting:

Apparently the shooter is a big fan of Plenty v Dillon and Kuru v State of NSW.
Only in the Territory:
AN ALLEGED public masturbator was locked in handcuffs in the Darwin court to minimise the risk of him whipping it out before the judge.
Jason Paul McCracken appeared at Darwin Local Court facing charges of behaving in an indecent manner in a public place and failing to comply with reporting conditions.
The 39-year-old’s hands were still in cuffs as he appeared before the court via a prison video link on Thursday.
Chief Judge Elizabeth Morris asked why he was still restrained during his court video link.
“He’s got handcuffs on which is a bit unusual,” Ms Morris said.
“Is there a concern that he’ll do (in court) what he’s been charged with?”
McCracken’s defence Erin Morton said it was not a “proven” risk, but did not raise objections to her client’s restraints. The court heard McCracken was one of three alleged “serial masturbators” on the court list that day, with police alleging McCracken acted inappropriately in Darwin’s Smith St Mall on Saturday July 2.
Ms Morton said her client was “quite unwell” and had been failed by the system meant to protect and care for him.
Ms Morton said McCracken, who has an acquired brain injury, was under a public guardianship order which had “fallen by the wayside”.
“It didn’t stop, it still exists,” Ms Morton said. “All I know is that he was effectively released from custody not that long ago and it doesn’t seem like there was a support plan in place.”
Ms Morton said the cognitively impaired man was homeless without any clear support at the time of the alleged offence.
Spoke to a major manufacturer of Ag equipment yesterday about the state of the supply chain.
He said he can’t price new machines past six -twelve months because he has no solid idea of the cost to build or the availability of parts.
Cabins for the gear are built in Germany and they are 10,000 units behind for their own brand, let alone supplying other customers.
Spread this story across the entire manufacturing sector, add on the massive power price increases and it’s a sure recipe for recession or collapse.

I see them as totally different.
The Bradfield scheme has largely known objectives and outcomes.
The Eyre scheme is a “hit and hope” pipedream. I think it makes the mistake of assuming Victorian rainfall patterns could be replicated way further North – just add water.
Here’s another thought.
How do the operators of the scheme recover from the beneficiaries?
If I own a farm 500-1000 kms East and Lake Eyre Rainmakers Inc come knocking looking for cash for “extra rainfall” I am telling them to fuck off.
The obvious thing is to legislate “rainfall” fees to ensure the financial viability of the scheme.
Sort of like the windfarm model.
KD, I’ve seen that chasm in the middle of Joondalup on TV, so I agree with you. You’ve a much better chance of getting home in par via the fairway bunkers at Moonah Links and Barnbougle.

Ralph Sarich, come on down!!
As a young mile school record holder in the days of
The Landy legacy: the beginning of a tradition
UP TO and including the 1952 Helsinki Olympics, Australia had no tradition in distance running. Six years later, on the day that Herb Elliott broke the world mile record in Dublin, five of the world’s eight fastest milers were Australian. Two years later, Elliott won the Olympic 1500 metres gold medal in world-record time in Rome, the peak of a career in which he remained unbeaten in 42 races at a mile or 1500 metres.
“It was a wonderful era for track and field in Australia, especially in Victoria,” writes Ron Clarke, another serial record-breaker of the time, in a foreword to a new book. “And it really started that December day in 1952 when the great John Landy discovered his destiny.”
It was great to watch – Men 1500m finals | Commonwealth Games Athletics 2022
Ollie Hoare ‘the new Herb Elliott’ wins in a race for the ages
Ollie Hoare rounded the final bend three wide. He had three men ahead of him, two former world champions, ahead of him. The man in the lead, a Scotsman who was the reigning world champion and had the screaming local crowd behind him. Yet Hoare knew he would win.
Without a hint of hyperbole, Ollie Hoare won one of the greatest races in Australia’s running history and etched his name as a great of the sport.

Definitely a Candidate for – The truth about 4WD dual-cab utes and the ‘bent chassis’ problem
Why do so many 4X4 dual-cab utes end up bent like bananas out there in the bush?
It’s a simple answer but with a series of complex sequence of events, at least to some. There is a unique weakness in dual-cab 4X4 utes which reveals itself when dickhead factor collides with science.
