    What on earth was Albo thinking?

    We’ve seen some possible explanations for that triumph of tone deaf idiocy.

    The Shaq’s blak
    He’s an aspiring wrapper
    He used to play baseball
    He’ll convince the honkies that the inVoice is the greatest thing since smallpox blankets
    He’ll make burney and me look super cool

    As we’ve seen, the last one in particular didn’t exactly pan out as expected – glove puppets, anyone*?

    I attended the 1988 conference on Thursday Island, called by Torres Strait island leaders threatening to secede from Australia and travelled extensively through the islands, from Mer in the east to Saibai and Boigu 5kms from PNG, which you can walk to at low tide.

    In these thrilling blog times of travelogues, one from circa 35 yrs ago on a part of Australia we never see would be a charming addition.
    Did you actually walk from Oz to PNG at low tide? It must be quite an experience.

    I wish them well and hope they succeed in shaming the Elbow regime to comply with their demands.

    What are their demands? Do you really think Elbow should give in (especially if it involves trainloads of taxpayer money)?

    The islanders are good people whose leadership is utterly unlike the corrupt, mainly white Australian abo industrial complex.

    Thanks for the info.
    He had a reputation for getting into a brawl every time he set foot in a pub in or around Warrnambool. I was told that about half the police work in that part of the Western District was created by two Aboriginal families, Clark and Clarke, of one of which he was a member.
    But then he and his ATSIC mates used to drink at the Elms at the top of Spring Street and there was never a hint of trouble. At the time I wondered whether the Warrnambool issues were a kind of vicious circle thing, suspicion from past events leading to hostility, leading to more events, leading to more suspicion and so on.
    But maybe those days at the Elms were just post him losing the title fight.

    Always looks to have condensation inside and dripping water out the bottom when it shuts down.
    But plumber can’t find a leak.
    It dries out and runs OK for a while, then plays up again. Did it again Friday and I couldn’t reset it. Got plumber in (it looks drier) and it starts first time for him.
    Fuck it, I say. Get a new one.
    Later today Mrs P is re-planting the herb garden near the back door and I notice the tap she is using is dripping water into the heater air intake below.
    Ring plumber to ask him if that would be the cause. He reckons it almost certainly is.

    From the link posted by rosie. How many failed “Voices to Parliament ” have there been?

    ATSIC’S CONTROVERSIAL HISTORY

    The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders Commission was the latest in a line of failed Indigenous advisory boards.

    It was created by Bob Hawke’s Labour government in 1990 out of the ashes of the National Aboriginal Conference.

    The NAC – itself formed out of the National Aboriginal Consultative Committee, formed by the Whitlam Government in 1973 – was riven by division and clashes with the government by the time it collapsed in 1985.

    ATSIC was to set up to to advise Governments at all levels, provide peak national and international advocacy for Australian Indigenous affairs, and deliver and monitor Indigenous programs and services.

    It was made up of 35 regional councils with over 400 councillors, the ATSIC Board with 18 zone commissioners, and an elected chairman.

    The behemoth billion-dollar-a-year agency was also backed up by several hundred public servants who did all the research and helped draft policy.

    But it was wracked by controversy and in 1996 Pauline Hanson called for it to be abolished in her maiden speech.

    It was also criticised for its lack of autonomy and that its policy advice was ignored by the government.

    Others said it was not properly representative of the Indigenous community

    It would survive for another eight years but the final nail in its coffin came when Labor joined the call for it to be abolished, 14 years after it was created by a Labor government.

    It was replaced by the hand-picked 12-member National Indigenous Council but that did not survive beyond the election of Kevin Rudd’s Labor government in 2007.

    The Uluru Statement From The Heart calls for an Indigenous Voice to Parliament which will be locked into the Constitution to protect it from being axed politically.

    Labor has proposed a referendum on the question before the end of 2023

    Hmm – “fritzing vibes”. Is this what you mean? “Fritzing can be seen as an electronic design automation (EDA) tool for non-engineers: the input metaphor is inspired by the environment of designers (the breadboard-based prototype), while the output is focused on accessible means of production. As of December 2, 2014 Fritzing has made a code view option, where one can modify code and upload it directly to an Arduino device.[7]” Reference from Wiki. Perhaps you have a colloquial usage that you might care to explain. My intuition has stood me in good stead for many years and through lots of bullshit. Fritzing or not.

    Looking back, I see I’ve spent the day laying sword to Trusted Bloggers promising death to Covid jabbees on the basis of shite statistics.

    I probably should also have noted that, on exactly the same basis, since the early vaccine trials, I have also been critical of those who believed the statistically impossible dream that Covid vaccines would deliver Herd Immunity.

    The maths never stacked up.

    At the bottom, the political lure of herd immunity through vaccination has created the various tyrannies of government we have all suffered over the past two years.

    Mandates, the National Lockdown, State lockdowns – and the supporting masking social distancing minutia – all done on the basis of pressuring for 90%? 95%? vaccination rates that would ‘stop the spread’ and ‘save the hospital’ system.

    All obviously based on bullshit assumptions: all discussed here on the Cat in 2020.

    I might say I put the Morrison Government in a similar place as the Daily Exposé.

    Youngest is in PEAC course, primary extension and challenge. Kids are picked on academic ability and thinking skills, although year after year the chosen are 9/10 girls, so methinks there’s a thumb on the scales.
    So far, they have-
    -built a diorama of a city of the future
    -made lego robot police
    -written free-verse poems about ancient Chinese maths
    -presented a quiz show starring their favourite Greek superheroes
    -acted a play with the minor characters from fairy tales
    …and a few other low-energy fingerpainting activities. I’ve stopped myself from asking her about it, because all and sundry can read my bafflement at the pointless pettiness of what they “work on”. I had discourse with the course co-ordinator early on after she sent a ditzy “thanks for letting us have your children, we’re going to make their dreams a reality and teach them how to change the world for the better!!!” cover letter out. I have banned myself from contact her again.
    I mean, jeeezus crist. I did PEAC last century and it was matchsticks and baking soda and tidy girls from the fancy town schools, but I know now that it was chemistry, engineering, maths, and work work work, crunching concepts and equations and taking measurements.
    The latest bit of tat to come through was a consent form for publishing names and photos on their amazing social media platforms to show the interwebs the amazing workings and learnings of our wonderful talented kiddies- not even from PEAC but from a third party provider who was running a dumbarse “tournament” in a city up the way. The tournament involved making costumes from recycled materials, and some sort of five minute play about what Mr MacGregor did with Peter’s dad when he got caught.
    I flat out said no- (wifey has probably fished it out of the bin and signed it, conformity with the crowd is essential for Kiddo’s mental health)- names and faces on Facebook has got nothing to do with educating kids, it’s simply free advertising for the company on the smartfone pixel-go-round of the mummies. I’m very wary that the soft-serve Disney+ curriculum and affirmation of the crowd is replacing the self-respect that a kid gets by ploughing through difficult work, difficult times, difficult classmates.
    At a glance, the whole PEAC program could now be mistaken for a scheme to take the brainy girls out of school and water down their diet to the point where they really really wanna just be Tik Tok ditzes.
