So are we. Although I’m not sure if I can regularly devote three nites a week to it, with Rita on Mondays and James on Fridays. Gotta find a bit of time to watch Series 4 and 5 of Peaky Blinders. Sunday taken up with Outsiders over lunch after getting up late. We mostly do end up watching Bolt over cooking dinner or eating it although his talking over his guests is irritating and so is his TDS. The only one we manage to eschew is Paul Murray, and even that show can draw us in with a good guest speaker. Jenna’s late-nite newspaper review has been on at ours more than a few times too. In all of this, we do encounter a fair bit of repetition. Perhaps we are spreading ourselves too thin? lol.
I have a sort of belief that we personally must keep the numbers up – our contribution to the fight etc.
BoN, thanks.
“Low inflation incentivizes producers to innovation.” Ok then why is zero or negative inflation not a good thing? The US had negative inflation for many years in the late 19th century, they boomed.

sfw, why are you concentrating on a headline number re inflation.
Inflation needs to be looked at in a granular fashion.
Until you start doing that there’s no point engaging.

Sfw – I think zero inflation is a good thing, but it’s like trying to balance on a fence. Easy to fall off onto the wrong side.
The wrong side is deflation. That’s because of human nature and the time dimension. If you go into deflation then consumers tend to defer purchases as prices are expected to get cheaper. And humans tend to operate in herds. As a result suddenly your sales stop, you have huge inventory sitting unsold and you’ve just gone bankrupt because you can’t pay your employees.
We had this with Covid – people stayed at home and stopped going to shops. So sales collapsed. Then when the fear passed they all came out to buy again, but the companies didn’t have the stock to sell having cut back production in the panic, and so we got shortages and massive supply line disruptions as they tried to get more stock all at once. Famine then feast, all because of the time dimension and human nature.
The only hurdle now, here in the Wild West, is frost…
I’m hearing that the recently deceased (by his own hand) Green was “a real champion”.
What is it with this media trend to glorify suicide? .. yesterday the Mail Online was ‘saluting a hero cop’ funeral even tho the bloke shot himself .. next it’ll be QLD offering a “state” funeral …..
There is nothing “champion” or “heroic” in topping yourself .. FFS!
That’s true, bern.
You want to look at core, non core, the older, more honest measure of CPI as well as PPI.
The fact that there is a real effective exchange rate for both imports and exports complicates matters, considering some of either are unfinished goods or really part of foreign direct investment.
Paul Green achieved so much despite suffering from mental illness which clearly was debilitating.
Yes. It can be like that, an endogenous depressive state. Or it can be due to overwhelming psychic pressure relating to life stressors where counselling can help and responsibilities to others still have some salience.
It is very variable.
I did a suicide prevention course for my telephone counselling volunteering. We had to role play talking down an unresponsive suicidal person from a high bridge ledge. One of the hardest things I’ve ever done, for the professional actor playing that person was well trained in blank-eyed middle distance staring. You had to look for cues re what was getting through and what wasn’t. Easier if you were doing it in person rather than via telephone, I thought at the time, but it was instructive re the mind state of a highly depressed person.
We did learn to pick out signals that a person ringing in may be genuinely suicidal rather than attention seeking, and also to beware of labelling people too readily as attention seekers. My view was if someone was ringing in, you gave them your attention, and with plenty of sensible friendly compassion. You had to end calls within a specified period if you could; sometimes you could not.
Sfw – Keep in mind I’m not an economist and haven’t ever studied the subject (well apart from one year in high school – which I immediately then forgot all of). On the other hand my job has been to shave costs of production, and I have done lots and lots of project financial analyses and feasibility studies since if you propose something “better” you have to then show your boss that it is in fact better and will make money.
Funny, the general trend of the comments is “lock em up and throw away the key…”
Also dot, while the price of consumer electronics has dropped substantially, the cost of the provision of medical services has increased immensely.
To put both in the same pot when discussing inflation is a fools errand.
It’s about the market structure, is there cartel pricing, is there taxpayer funded distortions.
That’s just naming three out of about fifty.

Well. In my field there was no journal of negative results, which should be the highest impact journal of them all…. Tucked away in the corner of a research paper, was an admission from a lab they had been unable to reproduce their own result – on a different topic – previously reported… which I didn’t notice … and was crucial to a line of evidence supporting the major hypothesis I was to test. Yes. I know. I was hopelessly naïve…. First experiment blew it out of the water… [in my field research topics were essentially set by the supervisor]… and I spent the rest of my time failing to resurrect a doomed hypothesis. There was nowhere for me say out loud; don’t sink a well here.
That is true. Perhaps there is a genetic element, perhaps it is socio-cultural. Or a mix.

BoN, that makes sense, dunno if I agree but I get the idea.
FtB “Inflation needs to be looked at in a granular fashion.”, I’m just not smart enough to even understand what that means. I guess there’s no way to explain inflation to nongs like me. Funny I thought I got Milton Friedmans ideas but that was a long time ago. To me the idea that increasing the money supply would end in inflation seems fair enough. I am talking about a general increase in the price of goods and services not increases in particular sectors. I just can’t see how constant inflation at say 2% is a good thing. As I said I’m not that smart.

Lizzie hits the nail on the head – potential suicides are to be taken seriously. Forget the attention seeking, even the unsuccessful attempts. It only takes one attempt to be successful and the next one might be it. For so many it is difficult to spot, even for close family members. It looks like this was one of those.
I have seen the fallout from suicide – friends, family, work associates. It is devastating, especially to the young. We old buggers have seen most of life’s tragedies, the little ones are still forming.
The media has form in idolising people for all the wrong reasons.
No amount of familial support is going to help unless there is also a change from the culture of permissiveness and victimhood that abounds in welfare-dependent and other poorer families today simply because it has been constantly fed to them by governments influenced by ‘woke’ activists. Teaching families to be responsible adults and responsible parents comes first and foremost, with no excuses accepted about ‘hardships’ or in the case of aboriginal people ‘the way of our culture’.

ftb, I think you’re focussing on different markets rather than overall increase in prices. There will always be outside forces that cause price changes of markets. I’m talking about how increasing the money supply without increasing productivity causes an overall increase in prices to match the increase in money supply. There will always be exceptions somewhere but that will be from other factors, such as you describe.
So my question remains why is increasing the money supply to get an annual inflation of 2% per annum a good thing?

A rellie of mine who is half-Maori has been a very successful intervention worker for indigenous people. She doesn’t preach or tell them what to do, but she does stress personal agency and responsibility, and as a hard-headed realist she recognises their ‘problems’ but says to them that, like her (she was once heroin addicted with all that entailed), they have to recognise and cope with them by standing on their own two feet. A very refreshing approach, that has worked.
She told me how one woman took to heart the idea of doing something for herself and thus hosed down her filthy sofa. My rellie complimented her on this initiative. She had to start somewhere, was her view. She helped to take the sofa into the sun to dry out (hands on help and encouragement).
Please excuse my pessimism. I used to think America is broke, but now I think it’s over. What happened in Florida a few days ago is the nail in the coffin of the great American experiment. They won’t rest until Donald J Trump is charged, tried and executed. I won’t be surprised if the GOP fail in the midterms because the Demonrats will cheat and fortify the results to their heart’s content and the MSM and the scum that make up the progressive left and various elites will cheer it on.
And this morning I wake up to read that John Winston Howard, who should really change his second name as it dishonours the great wartime leader Winston Churchill, has apparently said that Donald J Trump is unfit for office. Perhaps I don’t need to remind people here that this is the same cretin who persuaded Malcolm Turnbull to remain in parliament and the same person, who because of his hubris in the last two years of his prime ministership, gifted this country Kevin Rudd and over a decade of political instability.
Back in July 2018, only a month before Turnbull mercifully committed hari-kari on himself, I ran into little Johnny Howard on Castlereagh Street here in Sydney. I confronted him and I said to him that surely he must find Turnbull an embarrassing failure and his government inept and disastrous for the country and for Liberal Party values. Howard responded, he was shaking because yes, I am rather assertive, and he said to me in his now elderly croaky voice “oh well, he’s better than the alternative”…which at that time was Bill Shorten. I responded “that’s not good enough Mr Howard” and I walked off.
But you see, that response from Howard is quite revealing. The Liberal Party and so called elder statesmen such as Howard don’t care about ordinary Australians or the values of Menzies. They only care about power or staying in power. The problem is that the Liberals aren’t good at taking power (look at the state of the Liberal Party in Victoria, QLD and WA) or when they do manage to fall over the line and take power, all they do is mimic the Greens, just look at the Liberals in NSW and Tasmania and the very unlamented Marshmallow government in SA.
The Liberals stand for nothing. John Winston Howard also stands for nothing. Donald J Trump stands for many things. I don’t know about others but I’ll take a hundred Donald Trumps over the feeble John Wanker Howard any day.
Howard personifies “But we’re not Labor”.
“Anyone would think NSW has a coalition government who the unions wanted to cast in a bad light.”
Really? I’m not aware of any NSW Coalition government, we have a Greens government here in NSW.
If you tell indigenous kids that the land and the fruits thereof “always was and always will be” theirs, don’t be suprised if they develop a sense of entitlement and a lack of respect for the person and property of others.
“The media has form in idolising people for all the wrong reasons.”
Well said calli.
True Cassie, but how do we change things? As I said the other day, at the last fed election the freedom parties got between 10 and 15% of the vote. The majors around 30% each. It seems that the rusted on Libs will stay there, whereas many who aren’t happy with Labor change to the greens/Teals etc. Liberal conservative voters just won’t consider alternatives.

The Rot at the FBI Is Systemic and Ingrained
OPINION
The Next President Must Prioritize Destroying the Deep State
At CPAC in Dallas this past weekend, former President Donald Trump asserted that a “key priority for the next Congress and the next president will be to drain the swamp, once and for all.” Then, reiterating a point made in a keynote address to the America First Policy Institute last month, he specified that Congress “should pass groundbreaking reform empowering the president to ensure that any federal employee who is corrupt, incompetent, or unnecessary for the job can be told, ‘You’re fired.’”
Such legislation would essentially formalize and strengthen President Trump’s Executive Order 13957, which President Joe Biden rescinded during his first week in office. But there’s a problem: The chance of even a Republican-controlled Congress carrying out this type of reform is close to zero.
You see, Congress itself created—and, indeed, has since protected and bolstered—the Deep State, so there’s little reason to believe it would now reverse course and eliminate it. A few decades ago, members of the legislative branch began delegating their constitutional lawmaking authority to the myriad federal agencies that constitute the executive branch. (Incidentally, no one knows the exact number of entities that make up the branch. The best estimate is somewhere around 400. Four-hundred!)
Why? Members decided that it would be easier to avoid being judged by their records if, well, there were virtually no records to judge. Rather than be required to spend time and energy informing themselves about a range of policy issues that might be put to a vote, legislators simply passed the buck to the bureaucracy—a permanent class of purportedly altruistic “experts.” This way, members of Congress are also freed up to focus on far more important tasks of governance, such as voting to rename schools and postal facilities—all while keeping the many accoutrements of influence that come along with a comfy seat on Capitol Hill.
President Trump is right: The only solution for genuine, lasting change is for Congress to reassume its constitutional duties.
Congress alone controls the purse, and, therefore, has the sole capacity to starve the Deep State. That’s obviously a generational undertaking, so we must also consider a complementary near-term strategy.
First, the next Republican president needs to grasp that winning the election means almost nothing, in terms of change. He must be ready to bust out the wrecking ball on Day 1. He needs to reimplement Schedule F and arm himself with a comprehensive playbook, filled with executive orders and innovative legal strategies. That, short of Congress rediscovering and embracing its proper role in our constitutional structure, is the best shot we have at returning the power to the people not only quickly, but also in a principled manner.

Co-founder and CEO of The Federalist Sean Davis to FOX News host Jimmy Failla: “To be honest, I fully expect them to indict Trump before the election. Basically, what they did with that raid is the Chekhov’s gun of political theater. Like, you can’t put a gun on stage and then not have somebody eventually get shot. That’s the rule about Chekhov’s gun. You can’t, with Democrats, go raid a U.S. president’s home and then not charge him with something. So I absolutely believe, and maybe the timing will be a little bit off, they are completely devoted and committed to charging and indicting President Trump.”

Re the Libs preferencing Labor over other conservative parties. Did you ever see Labor preferencing any conservative party over the Greens, Teals, Socialists etc? Never I reckon, they know what they want and will do what is needed to get it. The Libs hate other conservative parties and would rather kill them than have them in parliament.
Agorism.
That’s the way.
The worst sorts of sudden-onset depression can produce an almost catatonic state, with the person becoming a walking zombie, having to be led by the hand. I’ve seen this within my own family and also with an old uni friend of Hairy’s (said to be bipolar disorder). These depressions can strike only once, or become regular, sometimes permanent. There is a role for trialling drug psychotherapy here if they persist.
The old idea of a ‘sheltered environment’ as the main therapy was a good one, lost with the Richmond Report in NSW that closed ALL of the dedicated psych hospitals that provided sheltered care for longer periods (my mother benefitted greatly from year-long care at Broughton Hall in Sydney). The mythical ‘community’ is now supposed to provide that. A good theory, if only the resources were there, which they are not. Another woman both Hairy and I knew in the 80’s was admitted to Balmain hospital as suicidal, a sudden depression, was discharged after only a few days and slit her throat the next day.
The husband of a friend of mine experienced one of these severe depressive states. He went virtually overnight from being a happy-go-lucky trained tradie and community sports supporter with a good job to requiring immediate hospitalisation (only short-term care was available). She was gutted by it when he came home, still unwell. It was a long road to full recovery. This is an illness when it presents so suddenly and persists. Medical help is needed and then sensitive care.

This tells you all you need to know about the modern Liberal Party.
They actually believe a written agreement with the Taliban, the CFMEU or the Chinese is worth something.
Trump was awake to this and didn’t bother. In fact, by not doing so he saves money (inevitably there is a “price of peace” clause) and sends a message that he doesn’t trust them.
Incidentally, didn’t the Hiden Regime actually negotiate an agreement before withdrawal anyway?
So the Sniffer fixed it, right?
All of that said, ‘depression’ as a catch-all cry for attention and an excuse for any sort of bad behaviour is much over-used. Feeling a bit down is just a part of life, as is feeling unexpectedly happy. Heading for the golden mean is always useful, but life can often get in the way, sending you sideways until equilibrium returns. That’s perfectly normal. 🙂

A question to the Cats, especially of the farming variety.
Recently my son (9yo) told me that he wants to “live on a farm and work a lot”. I wonder if it’s possible to try it out. Are there any farmers who let you camp on their property in exchange for some help? I was thinking of going with him for a week or two so he could have some taste of the farm live. If that’s possible. Or is it a completely crazy/non-realistic idea?
“farm life”, of course.

Yahoo News – IRS Deletes Job Posting Seeking Applicants Willing to ‘Use Deadly Force’
The IRS deleted a job posting Wednesday seeking a Special Agent “willing to use deadly force” for its law enforcement division, Criminal Investigation (CI). The deletion came amid renewed scrutiny of the IRS in response to a Democrat-backed spending bill that would double the size of the agency.
“As a Special Agent you will combine your accounting skills with law enforcement skills to investigate financial crimes,” the job advertisement read.
“No matter what the source, all income earned, both legal and illegal, has the potential of becoming involved in crimes which fall within the investigative jurisdiction of the IRS Criminal Investigation. Because of the expertise required to conduct these complex financial investigations, IRS Special Agents are considered the premier financial investigators for the Federal government,” the job posting continued.
The “Major Duties” listed in the job description included “a level of fitness necessary to effectively respond to life-threatening situations on the job,” and being “willing and able to participate in arrests, execution of search warrants, and other dangerous assignments.”
It also included a requirement of carrying “a firearm and be willing to use deadly force, if necessary.”

Are there any farmers who let you camp on their property in exchange for some help?

He might well be guilty of hoarding documents. But consider the corruption of the Ruling Class attacking him
And oh, let us not forget this. Notice who voted down this bill: every single Democratic senator. This is why the claims by angry Trumpers that the FBI is going after Trump today, but ordinary people tomorrow, land with Trump supporters:
Crapo amendment to the Manchin bill to limit the bill’s 87,000 new IRS agents to auditing companies and individuals with income of $400,000 or more FAILED 50-50.

LOL goon squad just got on at Foot-a-scray in numbers too. I despise the lot of them now.
Can anyone point me to an explanation for the simple minded on exactly how and why continued low inflation is a good thing.
I’ve explained this to you before and you both ignore it while at times make scoffing remarks.
Targeting a zero inflation rate makes it very difficult for central banks to manage monetary policy using conventional tools even in a stable environment.
If the rate turns negative you then could have serious issues with sticky prices in the economy. Ever seen wage rate cuts because inflation is below zero and workers accept a reduction on these grounds? Neither have I.
Stop listening to imbeciles like Hallward Hughes and his ilk.
I’ll tell you what, explain to the readership how you would eliminate price stickiness in a western economic system . I’m happy to wait for your economic model.
Money is not considered a store of value. It’s a medium of exchange.
My other advice is to stop reading these crappy sites as invariably you’ll end up where Bird did, which is blaming the Rothschilds and Jewish Bankers.
Should be in quotes
Try the State headquarters of National Farmers Federation, or a local agricultural college – I believe they run “orientation” sessions for those who want a career in agriculture.
Vline used to be good for the odd trip to town from ‘regional centres’ to the smoke every once in a while. You could have a durry in some of the carriages, and the bar staff used to serve lanky 17 year olds Swan Lager – which was all they seemed to stock for some reason.

Oversight Republicans demand National Archives head explain agency’s role in Trump raid
Republicans on the House Oversight Committee demanded Wednesday that the head of the National Archives and Records Administration explain any role her agency played in the FBI’s raid of former President Donald Trump’s home earlier this week.
Rep. James Comer, Kentucky Republican, and other GOP lawmakers on the panel called on Debra Wall, the acting archivist of the United States, to answer questions and preserve documents related to the search warrant executed at Mr. Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate.
“Committee Republicans are concerned that the NARA would utilize the FBI to gather documents that the president by the very nature of his constitutional role could declassify himself, if this was indeed the case as the media reported,” the GOP lawmakers wrote in a letter to Ms. Wall.
“The Biden administration is continuing to weaponize the FBI against political rivals. To better understand the circumstances and the NARA’s role, if any, in the FBI raid, Oversight Republicans request an immediate briefing on this matter. Additionally, we request that you preserve all documents and communications referring to and related to the warrant executed by the FBI on August 8, 2022,” the letter said.
Committee Republicans demanded a briefing from Ms. Wall no later than Aug. 17. The committee has federal oversight over the NARA.
The Republicans accused the NARA of singling out Mr. Trump, saying that his treatment “stands starkly in contrast” with previous officials including former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
They said the 31,000 emails deleted by Mrs. Clinton during the Benghazi inquiry was greeted by the FBI with “apathy.”
Howard is rat-cunning, though, I’ll give him that.
His publisher would have set up the interview with Mavis, and he would have been obliged to do it.
Questions would have been submitted and vetted by JWH. The two most pressing and controversial topics would have been China and Voice in the Constitution.
Howard gives a “don’t frighten the horses” answer on China but not a word about The Voice.
Why?
Because to unequivocally support it would damage book sales among the dwindling faithful, and to oppose it would have him labelled a waaacist.
So he spends half of the one hour interview throwing Mavis lots of juicy bones about Trump.
Mavis gets his headline and JWH dodges the hot potato issue.

Good lad but it would void the insurance in case of injury.
Farms are dangerous places even for skilled adults.
That old chestnut is wheeled out as an excuse for a full court press of vulgar Keynesianism.
It is a real phenomena, but how it has been abused like a child solider to justify all manner of garbage policy is remarkable.
The internal price adjustment model will tell you how to overcome price stickiness. It will happen indirectly.
Asset liability management is probably more of a risk than price stickiness. Indirectly revaluing bank balance sheets is not something my 4D chess mind can master.
Maybe a community garden and trip to the men’s shed is a good start.
Code for: fuck you, you lying prick.
Just suggestions.
Buy him the Weekly Times each week for a bit. Attend a cattle or sheep sale, or a farm auction (see Weekly Times). Visit a dairy factory, or any rural industry Open Days. Our family hosted a city kid every summer holidays (yep, all five weeks),from when he was aged about 5 to 18, he was that determined to be on a farm. His plumber, city-side father was in the Army with my farmer Dad. Kid did a panel beating apprenticeship and then moved to the country and share-farmed, and finally got his own property.
Agriculture offers many many opportunities of all kinds for all types of people. Go for it !
John of Mel. Re your boy’s wish to be a farmer.
I second Zulu’s suggestion to contact one of your state’s agricultural colleges and attend one of their orientation days. Most hold these days three or four times a year.
The lad will see some “warts and all” aspects of farm life and the experience will either make him keener than ever or turn him off for life.

That I found this argument convincing tells me that I was temporarily deranged.
Good point, Farmer Gez.
The advice I would give to any young bloke wanting to “go farming” would be to get a ticket as a diesel mechanic, first.
Ag school, or a general business degree, essential.
Look at me for example: heir to the Laird, swanned around the art world, came back for good at 21… collecting useless animals, reading far right websites and slowly bleeding out.
A hard head is more important than farming muscles or family heritage.
Will I hope others in the CBD were not looking at you thinking the same thing.
The big need on farm is for skilled operators who understand the working and operation of machinery.
Electrical knowledge tied in with gps and control monitors. Someone who can find their way around a operating system and link that back to the machine in a mechanical sense to optimise operations and identify faults before money is lost or damage is done.
Steering a truck from one place to another is a piece of cake compared to operating sowing or harvesting rigs.
Take the lad to field days and see the machinery and livestock. You’ll both have a good day and the exhibitors would only be too happy to encourage a young lad looking to work in Ag.
I see it has come out that the Trump raid was about classified nuclear documents.
This should be disqualifying for Trump as POTUS, since he has failed at the #1 task of anyone holding that office. But I’m sure you lot (carn Roger!) will arrive shortly with the approved talking points.
The NT Independent, and apropos of big old stinking chooks coming home to roost:
Go around charging your own people with moida against all advice, in unreasonably quick timeframes and doubling down on your position time and again to appease an incompetent government you’re extremely tight with will have that effect.

This morning I thought I was in a semi police state. The way the “relevant officers” spaced out in the rail car with grim determination was bordering on intimidation. Rarely even seen that in Singapore which has an authoritarian bent.
I have been telling all & sundry get rid of Dan in Nov. Also bad the state looked last year from outside. Have heard a lot of whinges but I reckon Australia’s most corrupt premier is a shoe in.
Anyway enjoy all. Just about to pull in to my destenation and be with family that I haven’t seen in years.
I’d argue neither of us have lived though responsible macroeconomic policies. The best we got was the mid to late 1990s.
Balanced budgets and a lower, but in the short run, more flexible inflationary band would be best of all.
The other way around, apparently.
Most Uyghurs view Taliban as extremists.
So it’s been nearly a working week. Where are the documents? What are the charges? What gave them probable cause?

Agreed, but dependency on the state seems to have become part, not just of American, but Western peoples’ psyche in general, to the point where it is unassailable.
That is pretty funny, Dover.

Phrasing.
Gaslighting.
It’s daily.
FFS, Monty manages to wreck another thread.
He reminds me of the dogshit in the yoghurt marketing campaign.
Yes, and then 911 occurred which destroyed economic and legal frameworks.
Sure, but what do you do below zero?
Also, your comment that I still recall made during the GFC was the very best explanation that I read at the time and still recall it.
You said the cause of the GFC was a very sudden and unexpected change to inflation expectations.
That’s true, but it’s also a subset of a sudden and unexpected change to nominal incomes.
Wearing thin…very thin.
Farms are dangerous places even for skilled adults.
One of the underlying reasons people get killed on their first job is because they’ve had little contact with potentially dangerous equipment and situations until then. Thrown in the deep end.
Sad story about a child who got into a lot of trouble:
Now, while it is fair to say that Ma wasn’t Mother of the Year (we get a very one sided story here) it is also fair to say that the State is a lousy parent. Time and time again, we hear stories about how kids who are ‘in care’ are neglected and abused.
About 25 years ago, a colleague of mine in the NSW Public Service did a study on the size of the child protection problem in the State. He is very bright, and not at all alarmist by temperament. He concluded that it was many times worse than the numbers suggest, and he wasn’t talking about ‘psychological abuse’ or anything like that. He was talking about kids not being fed and clothed, not going to school, being beaten, not getting medical care, and living in filthy ‘homes.’
So we have a choice between one lousy parent and another.
Poor bloody kids. 🙁

Says a so-called “leak” to the Washington Post. Gee, we’ve never seen the FBI ‘leak’ false info to attack Trump to the Washington Post before have we?
So anyway, the claim is that they were so concerned about these ‘classified nuclear documents’ they let them sit in Trump’s house for 18 months before they could be bothered to come for them? Then they suddenly decided it was so urgent they had to get a warrant and conduct a raid to get them?
Did they just forget to mention those critically urgent documents when they were there on June 3rd to collect a tranche of documents that had been cooperatively released to them? I mean all that took was a request and some negotiations and Bob’s your Uncle, they got documents.
Henty field days are on 20, 21 & 22 September.
Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I’m about to visit Victorian Farmers Federation. Funnily enough they are about two doors down from our office on Collins Street.
Give me a better option, Rog.
I see it has come out that the Trump raid was about classified nuclear documents.
“Put out”, and will bear no resemblance to the truth. The truth will come out in 6months and will be buried deep.
Hilariously, you lot roll out the “they can’t have been that important” about nuclear documents, after years of bleating about the urgency of immediately gaoling Hillary over her emails of risotto recipes.
To paraphrase an old saying, “A government powerful enough to search through Melania’s knickers while she’s not there, is powerful enough to search through yours even if you’re wearing them.”

I would be astonished if anything seriously nuclear related was not copy numbered, audited on a regular basis, and kept with the nuclear “football”, under the control of a commissioned officer. That the alleged documents seem not to have been missed for over a year suggest either a fairy story, or a major problem with the responsible armed service.

Have you ever had anything to do with highly classified material? Have you ever spoken to someone who has? Do you know anything that was not found in Marvel Comics?
JC the band being flexible in the short term would prevent any overzealous targeting and knee jerk changes to CB rates. This ought to smooth out consumption over time. The solution at a societal level for $12 bananas is to stop eating bananas, not muck around with CB rates.
There is some degree of accommodation banks can do themselves with changing leverage to accommodate liquidity (short term commodities spikes) or higher capital investment (falling prices being arbitraged in the short term).
Which thus far, do not exist.
Elmore Field Days.
Many years ago I manned a display with several colleagues. it can get quite dull. We all took fancy of a couple of ladies who were looking after another stall and spent many hours talking and laughing with them. Day 3 one of my colleagues a smooth talking Irishman came strolling back after several hours away. He had a successful mission of one of the ladies as evidenced by his disheveled hair and straw all over over and deviled grin. LOL great days.
Just got moved, apparently my seat was broken. Was feeling somewhat uncomfortable….
Picked up a copy of Clarkson’s columns from a long time ago (2005/6) at the Salvos for $2.00. It’s called For Crying Out Loud, and it’s a hoot.
Talking about attracting female attention, he describes his young self as ‘a telegraph pole that a crow built a nest on top of.’
He neglects to mention that he is a ranga. 🙂
Cassi,
Given what Turnbull is responsible for that statement could’ve been referring to Tony Abbott.
Oh and apparently there is agricultural equipment there too.

Absolutely. ‘Classified nuclear documents’ of the type available in the White House would almost certainly be TS(SCI), maintained in the vault of a SCIF, signed in and out of a safe with page counts and very likely dual control required. As in two people responsible for maintaining sight on the doc at all times when out of the safe.
This is just the latest attempt to spin this and deflect the shite storm they created.
The FBI had a mole who confirmed their existence.
As to who that was, smart money is on some patriotic Secret Service agent.
Resist the temptation to tar everyone with the same brush (as you see it).
Pick a single interlocutor and deal with his or her arguments specifically. Only engage with another poster if he or she brings something new to the argument that merits a response.
Read up on formal and informal logical fallacies which can render an argument invalid.
Those ‘classified nuclear documents’ would also likely be code word level.
And oh by the way, the FBI agents wouldn’t have clearance and access to even see them much less handle them.
This is pretty cool.

Kayaking the sickest urban river in Australia
BAD RIVER

BAD RIVER – The Cooks River: Australia’s sickest urban river is located in the glamorous and famously pretty city of Sydney. This makes sense, given it’s also Australia’s largest, hard-surfaced, drainified, leaky-sewered, city. In my little red kayak I decided to trace all 23km of the Cooks River, inspired to do so after paddling my boyhood river over 4 days in the name of Backyard Adventuring. Finding it not only challenging, but shocking in terms of its ill health, I’ve since shifted from wanting to see the wildest and most pristine places on earth, to the most degraded and sick. This is a journey of ill-health, sadness and hope; putting a test to the local saying, ‘if you fall in, you’ll dissolve’.

Investigative Journalist Paul Sperry Says Twitter Ban Came After Viral FBI Tweet
Investigative journalist Paul Sperry told Breitbart News on Thursday that he was permanently suspended from Twitter without any explanation shortly after he tweeted about the FBI’s raid on Mar-a-Lago.
“No warning, no explanation, reason given, just this notice: ‘Your account is permanently suspended’ as I was trying to post a tweet,” he told Breitbart News in an email.
He said the suspension happened not long after a tweet of his on August 9 at 12:13 p.m. EST went viral that said:
DEVELOPING: Investigators reportedly met back in June w Trump & his lawyers in Mar-a-Lago storage rm to survey docs & things seemed copasetic but then FBI raids weeks later. Speculation on Hill RBI had PERSONAL stake & searching for classified docs related to its #Spygate scandal.
Sperry said, “In other words, the FBI may be covering its own tracks while using the [Presidential Records Act] as a pretext for the Mar-a-Lago search,” he wrote.
“It’s worth noting that the current deputy general counsel at Twitter is also the former general counsel at FBI HQ under Comey. His name as you may know is James Baker, and he was the top attorney who reviewed the fraudulent anti-Trump FISA wiretap warrants for probable cause,” he added.
“I doubt he is involved in monitoring content at Twitter, but I am told some sensitive content is brought to his attention. I am also told Twitter is now monitoring offsite influence of tweets and has ability to track the sharing and receiving of tweets down to the individual,” he said.
Sperry, who is currently senior staff writer for RealClearInvestigations and a New York Post columnist, has covered the Russia collusion hoax and the FBI’s role extensively.
He said he had also tweeted shortly before his ban about Hillary Clinton:
Funny, don’t remember the FBI raiding Chappaqua or Whitehaven to find the 33,000 potential classified documents Hillary Clinton deleted. And she was just a former secretary of state, not a former president.
