Just stepped outside. It is cold, but there is barely a breath of wind.

Alternatively, perhaps alarmism is the new normal at the BOM.

How the Elites Will Keep Their Lights On
There won’t be enough power to keep everything going so they will make sure they get all they want, and whatever’s left over can be shared out among the rest of us. They will do this as they do everything else, through their superior wealth. They will create a category of “premium consumers” – platinum users, gold users, some name like that — who, by paying extra to the energy companies, will be guaranteed a constant supply of power, even at times of peak use.
This extra fee will be set high enough so that, when added to the already exaggerated costs of energy, it is beyond the resources of the average household. It is ordinary families who will have to put up with the cold showers or cook their meals on a sputtering primus stove by decidedly unromantic candlelight because of windless weather and daily grey skies.
This will be presented as progress and wrapped in weaselly advertising. “Power that’s tailored to your home needs,” the unctuous voice-over will intone through an image of swirling steam. “When you sign up with GoodGas you get just the amount of power you want.” Translated, this will mean you’re offered a “budget” contract with the gas or electricity company stipulating supply at certain hours of the day or week. (The small print, naturally, will “regret that it may not be always possible to maintain supply at the contracted times”.)
Apparently it will cost nearly $.5 million to accomodate “the family” in in the THREE MONTH coroner inquest of Walker, the axe-wielder shot by Constable Rolfe:
THE family of slain teenager Kumanjayi Walker are raising money in the lead up to the coronial inquest to investigate his shooting by Police Constable Zachary Rolfe.
A Go Fund Me appeal to allow the Walker family and Yuendumu community leaders to attend a three-month coronial inquest has been launched.
and
…the family’s goal of $400,000 would support them through the coronial inquest, allowing for legal costs, travel and stay of family and community representatives throughout the coronial inquest.
She said 18 family and community members wished to listen as the lead up to the shooting of the 19-year-old was again detailed.
Ms Fernandez said some of the expenses would be used to fund campaign materials for a vigil and protest as the inquest ran.
Looks like not many people are interested. Amount raised since 8 August so far: $16K

What percentage of the Irish migrants ended up in New England, Virginia and Kentucky rather than the Irish ghettos in Boston and New York? Life in the Irish ghettos would have been tough.
I have a g-g-grandfather who migrated to Boston from north Wales, he joined many others in the westward-ho covered wagon train migration into the interior but, wherever he went to, it didn’t work out for him. He ended up back in Boston working as a bricklayer, his new born daughter died of diphtheria and the Massachusetts winters were worse than Wales, so he and his wife returned broken-hearted to Wales.
Not all of those migrations ended up as success stories.
What are they hoping? That the inquest will somehow overturn the court’s verdict?

The ‘drunken’ woman who Nick Kyrgios had thrown off Centre Court at the men’s final of Wimbledon in July is taking legal action against the tennis player.
Anna Palus, 32, was temporarily ejected from the Wimbledon Grand Slam final after Kyrgios told the umpire she had ‘700 drinks’. She denies the claim, saying she only had two and was trying to support the tennis player.
But in a statement, the Polish medical lawyer has decided to bring defamation proceedings against Kyrgios in order to ‘clear her name’.

Of course cities were loci of transport, trade, settlement, industry, opportunity. For these reasons many migrants stick close to city limits now as in the past- also urban settings lend themselves to ethnic ghettoization and ongoing sectarianism, whereas out on the frontiers, odd folk spread through the countryside and isolated are naturally more miscegenous and identify with their new landscape and new occupation.
Look, I’m not trying to rip off any black armbands, I’m just saying that the European diaspora had a lot more flexibility and adaptability, as well as base mercantile motivation, than the squeaky wheels of exploitation narratives would have you think.

Percent-wise the Irish diaspora would be about the largest in the world as a proportion of those people claiming Irish heritage and what is left now on the Island (in the case of Irish). 7 million Irishmen* left and 75 million around the world.

No, with respect, you miss the point. Linda Burney belled the cat when she said it would be like ATSIC, except ‘they cannot abolish it’. It will be a massive gravy train for the relatives of activists like Burney. ATSIC 2.0.

Pupils are also expected to ‘remember basic manners’ and to ‘greet each other’.

You think both the Republic’s government and Northern Ireland are lying about their respective population size? Don’t believe me then look it up.
In proportion (percent-wise) the British diaspora would mean something like 750 million people claim British origin around the world. Gus, you’re not that bright.
Percent-wise means in proportion, you dunce. Stop making the site stupid as it’s embarrassing for the rest of us.

Energy bills are predicted to be nearly three times higher than last winter.
A household is considered to be in fuel poverty if it has to spend 10% or more of its income on energy.

And there’ll be no electoral escape from this oblivion. I don’t know whether anyone caught PML last night but he opened his programme with a rundown on the proposed changes to electoral funding and electoral laws. Apparently, such discussions always happen post federal elections, with Labor, Liberals and the Greens participating. Given the new electoral funding proposals, along with increased senate representation for the ACT and NT, which is simply a cover for more Green and Labor senators, we’re heading towards a one party state, which is basically now QLD, WA and Victoria.
Last night, Cory Bernardi, when asked by Paul Murray about these proposed electoral changes, shrugged his shoulders and said (I’m paraphrasing Bernardi), “well you have to hand it to Labor, in power for only three months, they don’t waste any time pursuing their agendas”. Bernardi is right, I would add that, unlike the stupid fucking Liberals, Labor doesn’t squander electoral mandates, however slim. Labor has wasted no time in pursuing its policies. Contrast this with Abbott back in 2013, having just been gifted a huge electoral mandate, he and Hockey went down a bunker for months, Abbott only sticking his head up to defend Bill Shorten’s mother-in-law and insist that she not resign despite her position being untenable, given her daughter’s husband was now opposition leader. Does anyone here seriously think that Labor would have done the same?
As I said yesterday, since the revelations emerged about Scumbag accumulating portfolios like a tinpot South American dictator accumulates medals, Labor’s handling of these revelations are a master class in politics. Labor will milk this and they will also use it to further demoralise the Liberals and Nationals. I suspect it’s working. But as I said, ya reckon the stupid fucking Liberals would do the same in power? My answer is no, because they are so utterly hopeless and so utterly useless, always trying to play the “nice guy”. Being “nice” doesn’t get you anywhere in politics.
Having said all of the above, the gloss and shine will erode when people’s grocery and power bills hit, but I suspect Labor aren’t too worried about that scenario because given the proposed electoral changes, if they can push those changes through the senate, a senate they now almost control with help from the Greens + 1 other, a senate they now almost control thanks to the Liberals’ feebleness and ineptness, because the WA Liberals preferred to preference their ideological enemies over PHON, thus gifting the left control the senate so, the likelihood is that we’re heading for a one party state and any Liberal opposition will be there to perform like a show pony, just like they are in QLD and Victoria.
As for poor old WA, it doesn’t even have a Liberal show pony, and that ladies and gentlemen says everything you need to know about the once great Liberal Party of Australia.
Thanks Scumbag and the Liberals, thanks for nothing.
Re the Space Station: on one very clear night we were sitting outside with family at the farm. The sky was awesome, as it is on clear nights, ablaze with stars and the Milky Way a mass of light. My very observant granddaughter spied the Space Station (identified because of its size compared to other sats) making its way across the Heavens. It reminded me of an even greater thrill when, as a child in the Upper Hunter, we saw Russian Sputnik for the first time. I recall we also once saw the Southern Aurora’s lights one night.
This is a definite bonus of living in rural areas. A Chinese boy who boarded with my grandson was overcome with the night sky when he visited last year. He kept going outside & photographing the night sky to send back to his dad in Shanghai. In retrospect, in view of Jim Molan’s warnings, it makes me a little nervous- although of more relevance was his liking for the farm!
I saw that, Joh. Remember the aerospace engineer who was reee-ed at by the wymmynses for daring to wear a fun “space babes” print shirt?
Growing up during the space race, “Telstar” playing on the radio, and nightly bulletins during the many…many Apollo missions, then the adventures and tragedies of the space shuttle – space exploration has been the backdrop of this Boomer’s life. What to many children these days is a “given” was a tremendous wonder back then. Sadly for many of them light pollution means that city kids rarely see the lesser stars, just the big blobs – if they’re lucky.
What was high on this list of US “attractions”? The Smithsonian aerospace in Washington and Houston space centre. Even a photo of me in front of Star Trek’s full-size “Galileo” shuttle blending fantasy and reality.

In Victoriastan comes this:
Police tasked with investigating Labor MPs over the infamous red shirts rort were actively blocked from doing their jobs in a deliberate cover-up to help Daniel Andrews win the 2018 election, a force whistleblower has claimed.
In an explosive statement addressed to the Independent Broad-based Anti-corruption Commission, the whistleblower involved in the investigation has claimed senior police interfered with and obstructed their work.
The 29-page statement, written and witnessed in June, calls for a fresh probe into how the investigation was conducted.
The anti-corruption watchdog refused to comment on its status on Tuesday night.
The emergence of the document comes weeks after the Victorian Ombudsman Deborah Glass said there was no new evidence to warrant another criminal investigation into the red shirts rort or a referral to IBAC.
The whistleblower’s statement claims: “I have new information that the Victoria Police fraud squad investigation into the red shirts matter was interfered with, obstructed and prevented, by senior police high up in police command, from being conducted normally and properly.
“It may also have involved other people outside Victoria Police command.”
The Labor rort saw almost $388,000 in taxpayers’ money spent on part-paying electorate staff to campaign for the 2014 election.
Almost two dozen MPs, including several ministers, were embroiled in the scandal, with Mr Andrews agreeing to pay the money back.
Former minister Adem Somyurek has testified Mr Andrews said “do you want to win an election or not?” when concerns were first raised about the scam.
Victoria Police launched an investigation after the Herald Sun uncovered the rort, but no charges were laid.
A bid to reopen the police investigation earlier this year was rejected because of a lack of new information.
Last November, it was revealed detectives were prevented from arresting MPs over the rort. The police whistleblower was directly involved in the 2018 investigation, arrest of suspects and subsequent interviews.
“The investigators in this case did have a lawful power of arrest, to arrest the suspect Labor MPs, notwithstanding that the suspects had declined to be interviewed,” the statement said. “It was the same power the investigators had used to arrest the 17 Labor volunteers and staffers. For some strange reason the Labor MPs in this investigation were not arrested.”
The whistleblower also claimed detectives were refused permission by police command from obtaining phone records and other computer data relating to MPs.
“The refusal by police command to allow the fraud squad investigators to search thoroughly and gather all of the available evidence, in order to do their job fairly, properly and without fear or favour is very unusual and suspicious,” the whistleblower said.
“I believe that the police investigation and the decision on whether to charge the Labor MPs were intentionally delayed until after the election in November 2018 for political reasons. It is indicative that there probably was political interference in the criminal investigation.”
The statement further claims fraud detectives were frustrated by the decision that no MPs should be questioned.
“The Labor MP suspects should have been arrested and questioned by police, even if they had declined to come in to be interviewed,” the complaint said.
“The suspect Labor MPs were inexplicably shielded and given favourable treatment by senior police for, as yet, undetermined reasons, from being arrested, questioned, possibly charged and even convicted.”
An IBAC spokesman said: “As a matter of practice, IBAC does not comment on whether it has a complaint or investigation before it.”
A spokesperson for the state government said the matter had been thoroughly canvassed by the Ombudsman who had independently concluded there was nothing more to investigate.
“Matters IBAC chooses to examine are a matter for IBAC,” she said.
Victoria Police were also contacted for comment.

Australian artist who contracted monkeypox overseas warns others to take the virus seriously
An Australian who contracted monkeypox overseas has spoken out on social media as a warning for people not to treat the disease lightly, saying it caused them severe pain and emotional stress.
Key points:
Henry Boles contracted monkeypox after attending a party in Germany
He has warned others to take the disease seriously
More than 80 cases of monkeypox have been reported in Australia
Perth-based artist Henry Boles has just emerged from isolation in Germany, but documented their quarantine journey on social media.
Boles, 28, contracted the virus in the country where they had previously lived.
At first, they were unsure if they had it because they also have eczema and allergies that presents in hives. However, a doctor confirmed the diagnosis.
…
Boles said they contracted the virus after putting themselves in a high-risk situation.
“I know, it sucks* — it’s an amazing activity — but just for now — you can have it again in a few weeks — but just don’t do it now,” Boles said.
“I wish someone had just slapped me and told me that.”
*Actually, doing that is what got you where you are dickhead.
Imagine pandering to the ‘them/they” style of reporting on factual matters. I was looking for the cojoined twin…

Yes, it’s a great technological achievement, but for what benefit to humanity? Maybe to run selected experiments in zero-gravity situations and provide visual fodder for some movies..
Anyone with even rudimentary knowledge of astronomy and human physiology will readily realise that Space will never be “colonised” by humans.
Just do the numbers, nothing more is needed. And that’s before one considers the physics limitations imposed by Special Relativity.
This belief/hope comes from the same human arrogance and God-complex delusion that makes innumerate, arrogant cretins believe that they can control the weather.
It will, however, keep those space-program $$s flowing.
So there’s that…
Two weeks ago they confirmed they had received a complaint against Matthew Guy over his chief of staff.
“Well, they can’t say that about Soros. He doesn’t shy away from his involvement at all. He speaks fondly of the time and rubs his ego indecently up against his memory, priding himself on how he kept himself safe by the simple pragmatic expedient doing his little bit to help the Nazis.”
Yep. Soros actively collaborated with the Nazis.

Contrast this with Abbott back in 2013, having just been gifted a huge electoral mandate, he and Hockey went down a bunker for months,
While I am broadly sympathetic with your comment, please don’t forget that the “impartial, non-partisan” AEC managed to lose over 1000 Senate votes in WA, forcing a re-run of the Senate election there. I can understand not wanting to give out free kicks to the Liars and MSM (BIRM) until that process was out of the way.
Gilas, you love music. And music, like any form of art, has no tangible benefit to humanity (in a purely utilitarian sense), but where would we be without it?

Gen Z is the most educated generation in American history and also the dumbest. Kids filter through the education system for a decade and a half or even longer and come out on the other end knowing absolutely nothing. The system is a catastrophic failure and should be demolished.
I put space stuff in the category of ‘pure research’ – that is, research done solely for the reason of wanting to know. It may or may not lead to some concrete outcomes down the track, but that’s not the point.
There is a place for pure research in the vast universe of research as it currently exists, IMHO. It is just a drop in the bucket in monetary terms. Consider how much alleged ‘practical research’ on subjects like climate change and ‘psychology’ costs, not only directly, but indirectly.
Studying the heavens and the ocean and so on with no particular objective in mind is one of the highest expressions of the human spirit.

Ooh! .. it’s quite an entertaining show, as well .. started back in 2008, apparently .. quite compact as only 6 episodes a season ……!

Squeaky bum time for some doctors…
https://www.smh.com.au/national/absolutely-devastating-woman-sues-psychiatrist-over-gender-transition-20220823-p5bbyr.html
The first time Sydney woman Jay Langadinos saw psychiatrist Dr Patrick Toohey she was 19, living at home and identifying as male. It was May 2010. Langadinos wanted to start on masculinising hormones and her endocrinologist had referred her to Toohey to assess if she was suitable for the treatment.
According to a statement of claim filed in the NSW Supreme Court in May, the referral letter from Professor Ann Conway said it “seemed likely” Langadinos had “true gender dysphoria”, but she was “very young” and “clearly” needed “thorough psychiatric work-up before embarking on hormone treatment”.
Toohey agreed Langadinos suffered from gender dysphoria – a misalignment between a person’s sex and gender identity – and found she was suitable for hormone therapy, in this case testosterone, which encourages the development of male secondary sexual characteristics.
Langadinos saw Toohey a second time in February 2012. Now she was eager to have her breasts surgically removed. Toohey allegedly found “no contraindication” for her to undergo a bilateral mastectomy. She had the operation in April.
The following month, Langadinos was back again, this time to discuss her wish to have her womb removed. Again, Toohey reported he could not see “any psychiatric contraindication to proceeding with hysterectomy as part of gender transition”. Langadinos underwent the surgery in November, less than seven months after her mastectomy. She was 22.
Toohey’s advice is now subject to a rare legal case. Langadinos, now 31 and no longer identifying as male, is suing Toohey for professional negligence. The case comes amid an intensifying debate in Australia and overseas about the “gender-affirming” approach to treating gender dysphoria after an explosion in young people questioning their gender.
….
Solicitor Anna Kerr, of NSW’s Feminist Legal Clinic, who referred Langadinos’ case to legal firm Slater and Gordon, believes the legal action is “likely to be the tip of the iceberg”.
“We can expect to see extensive litigation in future years related to gender-affirming cross-sex hormones and surgeries,” she said.
Historically, studies have suggested very low regret rates for people who transition, about 1 per cent. Now, some experts are uncertain if those studies are relevant to the much larger cohort of young people presenting with gender issues today, of which two-thirds are females in their teens. Many have existing mental health conditions.

This will be the most minor of temporary black ice (i.e. gone by 9am or so) ever seen.
Road closure is only because most Australians have no idea of black ice & will not adjust their driving to match black ice conditions.
(& there’s only about three roads in the entire country that regularly – or rather intermittently – have black ice)
It’s quite frustrating to be halted at a “Road closed – Black ice” sign, enforced by a leather jacketed gum chewing dark glasses wearing cop who is carrying on about the “unsafe” road & how he’s “saving lives” by buggering up your day over not enough ice on the road to fill a whisky tumbler.

Seven of the major eleven International Classification of Diseases codes tracked by the US National Center for Health Statistics exhibit stark increase trends beginning in the first week of April 2021 – featuring exceptional growth more robust than during even the Covid-19 pandemic time frame. This date of inception is no coincidence, in that it also happens to coincide with a key inflection point regarding a specific body-system intervention in most of the US population. These seven pronounced increases in mortality alarmingly persist even now.

The desire to explore, to increase knowledge and to test boundaries is critical to humanity. We’d still be in caves otherwise.
Sure, with current technology it may be impossible to colonise ‘space’. According to previously current technology flying was impossible, infected teeth caused one third of all deaths and the only plate armour capable of withstanding a bodkin arrowhead was too heavy to wear.
Curiosity, and not accepting these obstacles as insurmountable led to none of them being an issue for humanity any more.
Humanity as a concept is like a shark. It must keep moving forward, however incrementally, to survive – or it stagnates, dies and is consumed by lesser species.
No need.
The best ones already come with male hormones as standard.

Did some work with a young lady engineer and her bloke a few years ago. In a conversation with Mrs Eyrie the young lady said she was very glad not to be growing up today as she was an absolute tomboy. Then at 13 puberty hit and she’s very glad to be female. She figured nowadays she’d be encouraged to “transition”.

They do this sort of thing sometimes. The radio/tape player in the late lamented Honda Accord 2000 was like that. Only to be operated by passenger if he or she could figure it out. The old tuner/volume and a few presets worked well IMO. Anyway, more reasons not to buy a Toyota besides the argument that their styling department should all be executed.

Monty – Sure you aren’t thinking of Mordy Bromberg?
He seems the go to guy for such things.
So there is no legal objection to what ScoMo did. There was no law preventing him from doing it.
So what is the enquiry supposed to look into? Are they now policing convention?
There is likely a reason there was no need of a definite rule governing farming out portfolios to as many people as possible – every politician wants the high profile gigs from which to launch what they are to their very core certain will be a stellar career that will inevitably culminate in becoming Prime Minister themselves. Any current PM who wants to stay safely ensconced in the PM office has to make as many people dependent on them as possible. That is why Ministerial posting proliferate like algal blooms.
It is a risk that verges on suicide for the PM to reduce the number or clients/minions. It is an act of desperation.
But as long as Labor still maintains the myth of Gough deified they should find it awkward that he also accreted portfolios like a pig rolling in muck.
But they won’t feel awkward because no one will even mention it. The press will remain silent, Labor pollies will feel in their hearts that it was sacrilegious of ScoMo to try take on tasks that only a god is equipped for, and the Libs will stand around not sure what to do with various looks of befuddlement, embarrassment, and unease lest they be noticed and be added to the show trial.
As Gough is my witness, the Libs remind me of the ungainly dim-witted Lystrosauruses here, picked of one at a time, and especially abu0t 30 seconds into the clip.
Bingo!

The PM telling the GG to keep it secret and out of the reports is a terrible look. Why not just tell the public? Why the cloak and dagger stuff?

Another Grumpy Old Woman here about having to use apps. My bank has herded me into a corner in that regard, except that fortunately there is a branch nearby. Otherwise, I’d be defeated.
In more ways than one, as I don’t have a driver’s licence or a current passport. So, I can’t even use the bloody thing because of their ID requirements.
Apps have caused countless security failures over the years, plus they give the app owner all kinds of personal information about the user.

My kookas, having inspected the local real estate, were back in the salubrious Cafe penthouse a short time ago – which I have to say is starting to look quite moth eaten after five years. Maybe that’s why mum kooka was tapping around inside like a woodpecker, to see if the floor of it was still solid.
Meanwhile the noisies are now taking food off to far places, and southern male magpie is appearing before 6am just in case his new progeny might be peckish after a cold night. And two of the magpie chicks from last season – the northern one and one from up near the school – have hooked up and are inseparable. Doing duets together and all. They’ve established a microterritory which currently comprises my neighbours’ yard. It has one big tree where young lass magpie is already practicing nest engineering with a great lack of success. It’s engagingly sweet. I think spring has arrived.

Spy Two “forget it, they’d never go for it”.
The instruction manual for my car GPS makes War and Peace a Sunday read. Intuitive, in instructions means the writer knew but wrote what was meant. IT people think they are clever. Over the years have had many run ins with them when they won’t follow instructions. My wife made $160M for an IT company when they followed her specifications for a program. Took ages for them to understand that they didn’t understand. We only got a yacht out of it. A guy I knew talked a timber mill into automating their plant. A fortune later, double the staff, half the production saw the guy being sued successfully.

Mind you, it was -6C last night, because contrary to the BOM’s predictions of howling winds and crying beasts, it was quite still.

However, the Great Morrison Coup Imbroglio is going to be inquired into with political vim, vigour, and forensic thoroughness – probably for most of the next 2.75 years.
Far from shunning Morrison, the primary objective will be to magnify him and spread the joy of coup ownership amongst as many of the Opposition as possible.
The secondary objective will be to capture the constitutional moral high ground (if such a thing is possible) – to ward off opposition to the various Constitutional challenges the Albanese Government faces in its first term: the Voice, retrospective domgas reservation, implementation of Net Zero, and the Republic.

After dealing with that time pass and rowdy sheeting, I can kindly adjust to the beaches lifestyle once more, rest is fine.
I bet the Capitol Police (now with officers in all major US cities) will find who leaked the Pelosi footage before they find who leaked the SCOTUS draft judgement.
IT’S FUNNY THAT THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT IS CONSTANTLY LEAKING IN A CASE ALLEGEDLY ABOUT CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS: “Most judges would be a tad annoyed by the contradiction as the government continues to frame the public debate with its own selective leaks while using secrecy to bar other disclosures.”
Turley: “It is litigation by leak where the government prevents others (including the target) from seeing key representations made to the court while releasing selective facts to its own advantage. It shows utter contempt for the court and the public.”
