David’s expression appears to be sad rather than triumphant.
An interesting choice doverbeach, right about now we could do with a young David to cut off the head of the Satan loose upon the world.
Given that so many of the young have been duped and indoctrinated into shallow ignorance, is it too much to see David with the head of Goliath as a symbol of hope: that the young will triumph over what appear to be impossible odds?

I see the Australian Catholic Bishops might be on to something. They appear to be reaffirming what Juvenal said a couple of thousand years ago: Never does Nature say one thing and wisdom another, Be gentle with the young and lastly Refrain from doing ill; for one all powerful reason, lest our children should copy our misdeeds; we are all too prone to imitate whatever is base and depraved.

Looks like the Elbow government has unleashed yet another destructive force on freedom of choice and prosperity, this time in the form of trying to mandate gender quotas on senior corporate management:
Apparently, the only reason that CEOs of listed companies are mostly male is because of prejudice and lack of child care.
What utter bollocks.
Women in senior executive positions can afford child care. It’s a red herring.
As to the why, the vast, vast majority of men are unable or unwilling to become CEOs of big companies. It takes a very particular set of characteristics, and as it happens, those characteristics are more common in men.
I don’t think that anyone disputes that Gina Rinehart is a more than competent CEO. It has nothing to do with her plumbing and everything to do with her personal qualities.
What is it with leftists that they constantly try to remake humans in the face of contrary evidence to fit their fantasies?
And, I wonder if male to female trannies will be acceptable to fill the quotas?

Jo Nova does it again, with a study into the effectiveness of that low cost antiviral called Ivermectin.
We live in the age of political failure, and the handling of the covid scare is just one major failure. It has impoverished nations and rolled back our rights.
Climate change scam is now considered gospel by the vast majority of the media and most politicians.
Energy systems have been wrecked, with dire consequences for all of the formerly strong western nations, while China continues to grow its various power sources.
Gender equality in some things – preferably highly paid executive roles – while families are weakened and children misled about identity etc.
Division between aboriginals and the rest of us is still being promoted under feelgood banners which will do nothing to “close the gap”.
Our two main export dollar earners are agriculture and mining. Both are under sustained attacks, again as a consequence of the climate scam.
Glad we could help.
Ivermectin has been unbanned in Airstrip One (the UK).
Did the soyence change again?
Jo Nova became a screeching zombie re covid.
Chile dodges the socialist bullet and rejects leftist constitutional reform.

No, they don’t.
That is because neither of those things correlates with the hardwired instinct present in almost all the human race, which runs deeper than any ‘ism’ and consists of the drive to:
1. Eat;
2. Not be eaten;
3. Procreate; and
4. Protect their young.
This is also why communism and all its mutant nephews have failed, and will ultimately fail – despite their leaders’ best efforts to change the basic makeup of the human being whose base allegiances will always be to those four things, and to the State only under duress.
Superficial changes have not, and will never change tens of thousands of years of human instinct with millions of years of similar bedrock underneath it.
Medieval kings understood that they could tax the peasants and lower nobility all they liked, as long as they were fed and they had the opportunity to provide for their own. Fail, and those kings were overthrown and killed. Communism, on the other hand is almost entirely theoretical – the longevity record so far for any communist regime is a pissweak 75 years with a dozen different leaders, and even then it killed tens of millions of their own people to do it.
Drag Queen Story Time and post-birth abortion won’t work because it can’t work. There may be up to and including a generation of very well-resourced attempts to do that, but a rock painted red is still a rock – and paint washes off.

Yep.
Indeed, Sancho. I saw another study somewhere recently (sorry, can’t remember where) indicating that mothers are by far the most passionate advocates for re-gendering their children.
Neurotic women foisting their problems on children.
In England in Victorian times, middle/upper class male babies were dressed like girls and never had their hair cut until some unspecified age when Mama finally had to admit that they were boys. There are many accounts of how traumatic that was for Mama, especially cutting their hair.
Shortly afterwards, they were sent to boarding school.
Weird childraising is nothing new.
Training for future careers? Read between the lines on this one:
A Sydney high school is making students who want to visit the toilet present their fingerprints in a bid to track their movements to stamp out vandalism in a move that has upset parents.
The decision to rollout the tech for toilet access has also shocked privacy experts who say there is no excuse to take biometric data from students which could be vulnerable to hackers who want personal information.
Moorebank High principal Vally Grego wrote to parents earlier this year telling them that Posiflex Kiosks Biometrics would be rolled out this term.
“The system will roll out in Term 3 for the external student toilets only,” she told parents earlier this year.
“We are introducing this system to monitor students’ movement during class time and to reduce the incidents of vandalism. We will then investigate the upgrade to the toilets.”

Scott Morrison, the unlamented former PM of this country, was interviewed on Sky last night by Paul Murray. I didn’t watch it. However the Oz is reporting today some of the Morrison’s verbal guff from the interview with Murray which I am unable to post because I keep on getting an internal error message.
However here’s my rebuttal to Mr Morrison…
“I know there was something you did have, something you chose not to exercise and that was your VOICE. You chose to remain silent when borders were shut, separating families and crippling this country, you chose to remain silent when state governments hypocritically supported BLM protests but came down heavy on protests by working men and women who’d lost livelihoods due to lockdowns, you chose to remain silent when Victorians were bashed daily by a thuggish politicised police force, you chose to remain silent when a pregnant Victorian woman was handcuffed and arrested in her own home for the crime of a social media post, you chose to remain silent when that disgraceful baboon premier of Queensland said that “Queensland hospitals were for Queenslanders”, you chose to remain silent when police fired tear gas at protesters at the Shrine of Remembrance in Melbourne last years, you chose to remain silent and actually sided with the MSM and the left when they went after Craig Kelly, you to chose to remain silent when the MSM and the left went after Christian Porter, Alan Tudge and Andrew Laming, you chose to remain silent when the MSM and left went after George Christensen.
I could go on however there’s so much my stomach can take so early in the morning. However what’s curious, very curious, is that there were things you chose NOT to remain silent about, when you should have kept your smirking mouth shut….umm…..remember Christine Holgate, our SAS soldiers, and the alleged in the Higgins case, remember them Mr Morrison? I do.
Oh and as for your quaint statement above “put governing ahead of playing politics”….sorry, doesn’t wash, every PM in history needs to play politics whilst governing. You clearly showed you had no ability in doing either. And I must note that it didn’t stop you from making catastrophically disastrous political decisions such as “net zero emissions”. That was pure politics, you sanctimonious hypocrite. And I haven’t even mentioned your collection of portfolios, like some tinpot South or Central American dictator.
The likelihood is that your inactions and your incompetence has likely destroyed the Liberal Party of Australia federally for a decade, because you drove the base away.
You are not missed, whilst you got your comeuppance on 21 May 2022 the tragedy is that the Australian people didn’t deserve what they got on 21 May 2022.
You once said free speech never created a single job, well Mr Morrison, exercising some free speech might well have saved your job.
Please go away, I never ever want to see or hear from you again.
Not much change in the narrative today.

We have a relative who has a teenagers – a girl and a boy.
She is a nurse and delusional to the point of being dangerous. She will tell anyone who cares to listen that she knows more than the doctors and surgeons.

He didn’t seem shocked at the question.
What will have to be addressed at some stage are the mistakes/revelations in the FBI/DOJ filings that do not sync up with their previous filings.

Federal Judge Notes in Special Master Order a Quoted DOJ Citation That Joe Biden Ordered FBI Access to Mar-a-Lago Documents
September 5, 2022 | sundance
Page #2 and Page #3 of Judge Aileen Cannon’s ruling cites a quote from the DOJ own legal filing, dated May 10th, that Joe Biden ordered the National Archives and Records Administration to provide access to the FBI to review the Trump records. Note the quotation marks:
On May 10, 2022, NARA informed Plaintiff that it would proceed with “provid[ing] the FBI access to the records in question, as requested by the incumbent President, beginning as early as Thursday, May 12, 2022.” [citation]
August 24, 2022, Joe Biden was questioned about how much notice he had regarding the FBI raid on President Trump’s home at Mar-a-Lago in Florida.
Question: “Mr. President, how much advanced notice did you have of the FBI’s plan to search Mar-a-Lago?“
BIDEN: “I didn’t have any advanced notice. None, zero, not one single bit.”
The shoe shop owner came to the right conclusion – that she had to relocate her shop to higher ground. Everyone else should follow suit and the government is morally obligated to help them financially and materially as they allowed development in the flood plains.
I am in favour of this sort of subsidy with public money rather than the renewables subsidies that only help select rich friends.

Brilliant piece of writing Cassie.
I do disagree with your last line though.
Please go away, I never ever want to see or hear from you again.
I want to see and hear him at his trial along with the Premiers and CHO’s at theirs.
He’s been a liar all his life, that doesn’t change just because he is going senile, it probably intensifies.
DON SURBER: A raid to get 1,693 newspapers?
Why on Earth did U.S. Magistrate Bruce Reinhart issue a warrant to raid Mar-a-Lago?
The stuff the FBI collected was not nuclear codes. It was a bunch of old magazines and newspapers.
He and the FBI had no business confiscating them.
A detailed list of what the FBI claims it took shows Reinhart’s was a general warrant, which the 4th Amendment bans. I suppose this is FBI standard operating procedure because although they are sworn to defend the Constitution, the agents never seem to bother following it.
The full list of items taken is here.
Overwhelmingly, what the FBI took were newspapers and magazines, either in full or just articles clipped from them.
President Trump obviously needed the 1,693 articles, newspapers and magazines to help his ghostwriter write his presidential memoirs.
Why did the FBI take them? What evidence does an old newspaper provide? That the media lied (or as we should call it now, FBI-ed)?
They also took articles of clothing and gifts.
The confiscation of items totally unrelated to national security shows that far from upholding the Constitution, Biden’s Boys were committing crimes. Taking Melania’s panties — or whatever articles of clothing they took — is not an act of investigation. Confiscating personal items is intimidation.
The 4th Amendment is quite clear that the police cannot go into your home and take whatever they want.
It says, “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”
If the warrant says the FBI can take newspapers, clothing and gifts, then Congress must impeach Magistrate Reinhart.
If it doesn’t, the 30 agents in the raid must be suspended without pay and prosecuted.
Cassie, I didn’t watch it and for similar reasons you stated. He had his time and the chance to say and do the right things. He didn’t and I have no interest in his excuses. The quicker he fades into obscurity the better.
Mmm.
A sharp operator, it was said. Very savvy, it was said. Supremely connected at the topender town, it was said. All those things would swat away those awful common plebs presuming to have their feet under the kitchen table (Genoese marble, of course) at Number 10, it was said.
Yet here we are. Inexplicable, apparently.

Cows were spayed in the yards in the late 70’s early 80’s around the Nebo area of Qld. I was building stockyards then and helped in the yards from time to time.
Logically it makes no sense to sterilise a breeding cow. However when a herd improvement program is going on then it makes good sense to bring the unwanted cows to a marketable weight. All cattle were also being tested for bovine tb at the time so it actully was good animal husbandry in practice
It didn’t seem to be that complicated, but the cow had to be firmly restrained as both of the “spayers” arms were in the orifices, one to feel and locate and t’other to cut. Barbaric in today’s times but mundane then.

Having done a lot of research after getting Simply Energys price increase which does not gel with their NSW Standing Offer, had selected AGL Seniors Electricity and Gas offers from https://www.energymadeeasy.gov.au/
Based on Choice’s recommendation decided to go with $79 Annual – https://www.billhero.com/
They came up with AGL Electricity(not Seniors) but same rates – but added $75 Disc as new customer – you at this stage have to finalise with Supplier yourself, so rang AGL and really helpful Lady, as I had previously been AGL Customer for Gas for 44 years, suggested Seniors with $100 discount for sign-on – so went with that with billhero email address (concept is bill hero keep eye as they receive your bills and then on forward to you, and if a better saving than you preset amount comes up they advise)
Simply Energy Electricity was NRMA 28% Disc and new AGL pricing was saving $70 on latest Elec Bill
On gas AGL lady could not match billhero Gas proposal of https://www.sumo.com.au/ so went with them

Ivermectin reduces deaths by 92% for 10 cents a week
A new study of 8,300 people shows that taking ivermectin regularly before catching Covid halved the odds of catching it, and reduced mortality by a seismic 92%*. It reduced hospitalization by 98%, and in a dose dependent manner. If unvaccinated people were threatening our hospital system, it was only ever because they were denied ivermectin, something that appears to have increased their odds of dying by 12.5 fold. And as we all know now, the Emergency Use Authorization for the new, barely tested, radically different vaccines depended on there being no safe cheap alternative, which clearly there was. This study took place from July 2020 — Dec 2020. So here we are two years after it started. So many people died who didn’t need to.
This study follows up on the large trial in Itajai, Brazil to see if regular use of ivermectin would work better than the bizarrely low doses which still cut hospitalization in half, and reduced deaths by 70%. In that study, people were asked to take the 0.2mg/kg/day dose two days in a row but only once every two weeks. Since the half-life of ivermectin in humans is only 12–36 hours, those taking it in the study were effectively left unprotected at least half the time. It still seems strange, but even the regular users in this study were only taking ivermectin for two consecutive days every two weeks.

Women’s record title holder scolds retired Serena Williams
Margaret Court claims that Williams never ‘admired’ her
Serena Williams’ achievements in tennis were hailed this past weekend by a robust chorus of admirers from Michelle Obama to Tiger Woods and LeBron James, but one name which perhaps won’t be added to the list is Australian tennis icon Margaret Court, who has delivered a put-down of the newly-retired American star.
Court remains perhaps the most enduring success story in female tennis, winning an unparalleled 24 Grand Slam singles titles in her career in the 1960s and 70s, but has more recently become a pariah in some circles due to her vocal stance in opposition to same-sex marriage and her support of gay conversion therapy, among other things.
“Serena has played seven years more than I did,” she added, noting that Williams had more opportunities to capture tournament crowds throughout her career.
“I finished in my early 30s. People forget that I took two years out. I first retired, like Ash Barty, when I was 25, thinking I would never return to tennis. I got married, had a baby, but then had one of my best years, winning 24 out of 25 tournaments.”
Discussing the modern era of tennis, Court added: “I would love to have played in this era. I think it’s so much easier.
“How I would love to have taken family or friends along with me. But I couldn’t. I had to go on my own or with the national team. People don’t see all that.
“We didn’t have psychologists or coaches with us. It’s a whole different world. That’s what disappoints me – that players today don’t honor the past of the game.”
The lockdown jig is up
Rishi Sunak regrets what they did, but did Albo get the memo?
In the UK, Rishi Sunak, whose resignation as Chancellor of the Exchequer precipitated the final collapse of Boris Johnson’s hold on the Tory leadership, has come clean about Britain’s lockdown strategy.
In sum, what the Brits were told was good for them in the Covid fight, was cooked up in secret meetings by scientific advisers who, far from being masters of ‘the science’ and confident in their judgments, were often divided and ultimately reversed key positions, as time went by, on what ‘the science’ was supposed be.
The Sunak confession was made to Fraser Nelson, editor of The Spectator, who wrote up his interview with Sunak.
According to Sunak, the UK government’s Covid advisory group, known by the august acronym SAGE, was often divided over such fundamental measures as mask wearing and lockdowns.
SAGE minutes were written in such a way as to hide these disagreements. As the Covid scare deepened, SAGE actually reversed its key initial positions. Eventually, its leading lights – Chief Medical Officer, Sir Chris Whitty, and Chief Science Advisor, Sir Patrick Vallance – openly admitted that lockdowns could do more harm than good, but SAGE recommended them anyway.
No ‘cost-benefit’ analyses were undertaken; SAGE advice went directly to the Prime Minister’s Office at No. 10 and was accepted without reference to Cabinet. Finally, the PMO simply issued Minsters with directions on how they should answer questions about Covid measures, the merits of which could not be seriously discussed at any level within the government.
It’s good to have confirmed, what some have long suspected, that the ‘Masters of the Science’ did not know what they were doing and were much less confident of their positions than they themselves and their political masters gave them out to be.

NATO struggling to supply winter uniforms to Ukraine – Der Spiegel
Kiev has reportedly asked the military bloc to urgently provide it with hundreds of thousands of uniforms and other equipment
According to Der Spiegel, Ukrainian Defense Minister Aleksey Reznikov wrote a letter to NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg back in late July, calling on the military alliance to provide cold-proof field tents along with clothing for as many as 200,000 Ukrainian soldiers. The uniforms and equipment should be delivered as quickly as possible, the minister added, according to the magazine.
Several NATO nations have since been searching their warehouses for the needed supplies. The organization confirmed to Der Spiegel that it is in contact with member states on the issue. According to reports cited by Der Spiegel, so far the US and Canada, as well as Sweden and Finland, which are yet to join the military grouping, have together promised deliveries that could cover up to 50% of Ukraine’s demands.
According to Der Spiegel, the German military is “quite critical” of the idea of handing over its equipment to Ukraine. Lambrecht herself repeatedly stated earlier that the German Armed Forces – the Bundeswehr – are about to reach the limits of what they can give away when it comes to weapons.
The lockdown jig is up – Continued
From The Spectator –
One of the unanswered questions posed by Sunak’s account of events is whether SAGE massaged its advice to meet what its ultimate political master, Prime Minister Boris Johnson, wanted to hear.
Sunak’s unburdening of conscience over what went on behind the scenes in Britain prompts one to ask what was really happening back here in Australia behind our own, until now, veiled government decision-making about how to respond to the Wuhan virus.
A new book hit our stores recently entitled Plagued: Australia’s two years of hell – the inside story.
It’s mostly about how the government of Prime Minister Scott Morrison dealt with the Covid ‘plague’ or, perhaps more accurately, how Scott Morrison himself dealt with the ‘plague’.
Written by Simon Benson and Geoff Chambers, both journalists for The Australian, the book’s launch was accompanied by a well-timed marketing blitz that zeroed in on the book’s chief scoop: that Morrison had had himself ‘sworn in’ as an invisible Minister of two portfolios. We subsequently discovered that there were five such portfolios for which there were already duly sworn Ministers, of whom four were wholly unaware of Morrison’s hidden presence.
About the book itself, I’ll say more another time. And, on the secret swearings-in, I’ll pass over them for now.
What I want to draw attention to is in just two pages of Plagued: pages 80-81. On them, the authors relate how Morrison and his Health Minister, Greg Hunt, kept working on their senior health advisory group – the Australian Health Protection Principal Committee (AHPPC) – to get the kind of medical advice they wanted, or thought they needed.
It seems that, back in early March 2020, the AHPPC – which included the Commonwealth’s Chief Medical Officer and the Chief Health Officers of the States – was opposed, among other things, to mask mandates. This opposition stunned Morrison and Hunt.
‘You have to put your hands to your head and say, “What?”’ Benson and Chambers quote Hunt as telling them.
‘… we had to keep going back to them on masks. We thought it was obvious that masks would make a difference. There wasn’t resistance from us. There was resistance from parts of the AHPPC.’
Now remember those words: ‘We thought it was obvious…’

As a medical practitioner, I was threatened with deregistration, possibly gaol ( depending on the state), for prescribing a proven safe drug, with an extensive research base suggesting good efficacy as a repurposed treatment for Covid.
Theses decisions came from the TGA (principally funded by Big Pharma), CMO’s (career bureaucrats) Health Ministers ( not one of whom has any medical knowledge) and State Premiers (Machiavellian authoritarians) and allowed no dissent.

I get very angry when I hear Leftists laughingly mock Ivermectin, as they typically do, by referring to it as a “horse dewormer”.
By the same logic, water should be banned. It is horse rehydration fluid don’t you know…
…AND it kills people too. Far more deaths caused by water than Ivermectin (which is zero for IVM in Australia).
We cannot possibly expect citizens to be allowed to administer their own baths – so dangerous without expert supervision control.

A good speccie article there JR
What we Australians need to know can be formulated in one basic question: why was the detailed pandemic plan developed during Tony Abbott’s time as Minister for Health and Ageing (2003-07) abandoned in the face of Covid?
Under this plan, into which years of research had gone, lockdowns were not recommended; mandatory masking was not envisaged; schools would not be closed; selected hospitals were allocated the task of treating ‘pandemic’ victims while other hospitals, both public and private, were to continue providing, as far as possible, their normal services to the public. Vaccines were considered an important part of any pandemic response, but so too was early treatment of the infected who, from Day 1 of a pandemic, were to be medicated with anti-viral drugs; and, finally, to create an emergency supply of these, significant Commonwealth funds were outlaid.
Why was this existing pandemic plan secretly junked in March 2020?
Who made the decision and for what reasons?
Oops Apologies, can’t see what happen re bluing
That cluey doctor I linked to the other day, querying the use of boosters in healthy young people still thought even one dose of the vaxx was better than none and was adamant that proper randomised double blind trials were essential.

My overall prognosis is very simple: I believe that Russia has degraded Ukraine’s military capabilities beyond repair, and is now doing the methodical work of grinding away the rest, while forcing the west to bear the unexpected burden of propping up the Ukrainian state and army.
At a certain point, two things will happen that will accelerated the pace of Russia’s gains. First, Ukrainian military capability will be attrited to the point where they can no longer effectively offer static defense, as they are doing now in the Donbas. Secondly, western support for Ukraine will begin to dry up, at which point Ukraine will be exposed as a failed state that cannot function independently.
Looks like the change really kicked in about 2005, when Facebook and Twitter began.
WITH DNC IN MIND, CITY BANS CARRYING URINE, FECES: Poop and pee fueled the huge algae bloom in San Francisco Bay. Fixing the problem could cost $14 billion.
After an unprecedented harmful algae bloom first turned San Francisco Bay a murky brown color and then littered its shores with dead fish, many people assumed it was yet another climate disaster to add to the list, along with extreme drought, wildfires and heat waves.
While scientists suspect climate change played a role in triggering the bloom, what fueled it is not a mystery. Algae blooms need food to grow, and this one had plenty: nutrients originating in wastewater that the region’s 37 sewage plants pump into the bay.
In other words —we wouldn’t have this problem without the poop and pee of the Bay Area’s 8 million residents.
Meanwhile
The fish aren’t the only animals being impacted by, err, material that can be found on the streets of San Francisco: Do dogs in San Francisco get stoned from eating human poop?
President Biden’s fear of irrelevancy
What that awful speech was really all about
President Joe Biden’s speech last Thursday, in which he declared war on those who voted against him in 2020, gave us a peek into the actual status of the 2022 election cycle. By trying to make the election about the actions of the former president – rather than about Mr. Biden’s own record or any of his legislative “achievements” — he made it clear that the Democrats know they are in trouble unless something happens to shake up the race.
If Team Biden thought otherwise or believed the public polling, they would have not felt the need to drag President Donald J. Trump into the campaign.
They have good reason to be concerned. When limited to likely voters (rather than the more expansive and less reliable metric of registered voters), the generic ballot test for House races indicates that the Republicans are headed towards a modest majority consisting of about 230 Members in the House next January.
Team Biden knows all this. That’s why the histrionics and the blood red stage and all that jazz the other night in Philadelphia. They desperately need to gin up turnout among those who do not like Mr. Trump. Otherwise, they will be faced with the irrelevancy of a lame duck president whose party controls neither the House nor the Senate.

Dai Le has broken the mould but whether she can see it thru and represent us all is another matter! .. for those of you who don’t live in FOWLER or have much interaction with Viets you need to realise the Vietnamese have several traits which won’t be changing! .. The majority are GREEDY, SELFISH and regard the rest of us as lessers .. not equals! .. They look out for no.1 and Dai Le got their votes so they will expect pay-back and they will have no interest in whether that pay-back involves non Vietnamese ..
Admittedly, I am talking from personal observations as 90% of the Vietnamese around me are on on the “rorters” and show no outward signs of disability other than not speaking English .. these are folk who when they get junk mail or whatever in the mail boxes throw it straight onto the street without a 2nd thought! .. 90% of face nappy wearing out here is SE Asian and the streets/shopping centres are always littered with discarded masks ..

New Queensland land tax will ‘drive away investors’
The Queensland opposition said the Palaszczuk government’s new land tax regime was an “unprecedented” assault on interstate investors that could force up rents and drive investment out of the Sunshine State.
As investors prepare to be slugged thousands of dollars for their interstate holdings, Liberal National Party treasury spokesman David Janetzki called on Treasurer Cameron Dick to release the economic modelling behind the new tax hike.
NSW Finance Minister Damien Tudehope questioned the constitutionality of the new land tax regime, which will rely on the goodwill of revenue offices in other states to share information to become effective.
Mr Janetzki said the new land tax system, which will come into effect next year, was “unprecedented and unworkable”.
He said recent budget estimates hearings revealed Queensland Treasury had no clear idea how much revenue would be raised, how many people would be affected or how the tax would even be collected.
“It is a national land tax levied by the state,” he told The Australian Financial Review.
“Confusion now reigns across the industry at a time when regulatory certainty is paramount. The Labor government must release the modelling to give the market confidence this wasn’t put together on the back of an envelope.
“The new tax runs the risk of driving up rents, forcing investors from the market and adding to cost of living pressures.“
In December last year, Mr Dick announced the changes to land tax to include interstate land holdings, claiming some interstate investors “exploited tax-free thresholds in different jurisdictions to minimise their tax obligations”.
In an Australian-first, landholders will have to voluntarily disclose their interstate holdings in other states before being taxed for their Queensland holdings.
Interstate investors have now started to work out how much they will be slugged when the scheme begins on January 1 and apply from the 2023-24 tax year onwards.
A Sydney-based investor told the Financial Review on Monday that his land tax bill would jump by about $27,000 next financial year as a consequence of the state’s new tax rule.
Another said his land tax would rise by $15,000 to $20,000 a year.
Mr Dick has previously said the measure would raise about $20 million a year from 2023-24 and impact about 10,000 landholders,
A spokesman for Mr Dick on Monday acknowledged a number of those landholders would be Queenslanders.
“This sensible, prudent reform means interstate investors get treated the same as Queensland investors, wherever they live and wherever they own property,” the spokesman said.
“Currently, interstate investors who own properties across several states can access the tax-free and progressive rate thresholds multiple times, depending on how many states they own property in. It’s a strategy that is actively promoted in some quarters as a way to avoid land tax.”
The system will rely on co-ordination between Queensland Treasury and revenue offices in other states.
Mr Tudehope said he was seeking advice on whether the Queensland scheme was constitutional.
“I have been informed by Revenue NSW that it has not received any requests for data sharing in relation to the recent Queensland land tax amendments,” he said.
“I am seeking advice on the constitutionality of such a regime. This sort of tax grab is exactly what you would expect from a Labor government – they never miss an opportunity to raise taxes.”
Queensland Under Treasurer Leon Allen told budget estimates the revenue received would be “highly dependent on how much information sharing we can get from other jurisdictions”.
Tax experts said the aggregation of interstate property rules was not closing a tax loophole and looked more like a “tax grab”.
Real Estate Institute of Queensland chief executive Antonia Mercorella said no other state or territory charged land tax based on the value of properties held across Australia and outside the jurisdiction where the tax was collected.
“This new land tax regime is as unique as it is illogical,” she said.
“There’s plenty of reasons to invest in the Sunshine State, but with this land tax regime the Treasury has not only knocked the confidence out of the Queensland property, it’s delivered a king hit.”

Why Australian investors should care a lot about Europe’s gas crisis
If investors need a simple (and arguably over-simplified) view of why Europe’s deepening crisis matters, they should consider bathroom tiles.
It’s not all that surprising that Australia’s market opened higher on Tuesday morning despite Europe’s energy crisis taking yet another turn for the worst on Monday night.
With the eyes of local investors firmly fixed on the Reserve Bank’s interest rate decision, the latest machinations over gas pipelines running between Russia and Germany seem a long way away.
Why bathroom tiles? Well, Spain is the world’s fifth largest producer of ceramic kitchen and bathroom tiles and last week Spanish media reported that a large tile producer has shut down due to the explosion in energy prices.
According to Bloomberg’s energy guru, Javier Blas, the cost of turning clay into a ceramic tile has soared 1,047 per cent over the last 12 months – and now there will be fewer of them coming out of Spain in the first place.
You may not be about to buy bathroom tiles, but you can bet there are plenty of renovators and builders around Australia who will in the next 12 months. And the prices they pay for imported tiles will be going up, regardless of where they come from.
It’s a small and maybe silly example of how Europe’s energy crisis will be exported around the world, but it’s one that will be repeated across various sectors of the global economy as European industry is put under severe pressure by savage rises in gas and electricity prices.
This crisis appears certain to get worse, given Russian gas giant Gazprom’s announcement overnight Tuesday that gas flows to Europe via the Nord Stream 1 pipeline would be halted indefinitely, after earlier suggesting flows would halt for a few days for maintenance.
European gas prices, which sit about four times higher than a year ago, initially jumped 35 per cent on the news before falling back. European stocks fell 5 per cent as investors digested the likely hit to the margins of European companies.
The long-held fear that Russian President Vladimir Putin will withhold gas from Europe during winter in order to win some reduction in sanctions against his country appears to be becoming a reality.
European leaders are remaining steadfast in their opposition to Putin, and desperately trying to insulate their economies against energy shortages by lowering energy consumption and considering a range of measures to shield households and businesses from the worst of the crisis.
Putin’s plan
Much was made last week of the fact that Europe has managed to fill about 80 per cent of its gas storage capacity earlier than expected. But any celebrations missed two important points.
First, these storage facilities will only, at best, provide for about 30 per cent of Europe’s winter heating needs. And secondly, Europe has paid an incredible amount – to Russia, of course – to fill these storage facilities: according to the US analyst Jim Bianco, it has cost 6.5 times more to fill Europe’s gas storages than in any other full season.
This cost has to be borne by someone – households and businesses will feel some of the costs, but beyond that it’s taxpayers that will be forced to foot the bill. Either way, higher energy costs are sparking a surge in inflation, which is currently running at 9.1 per cent across the Eurozone.
This will leave the European Central Bank with no choice but to raise interest rates, further exacerbating cost of living pressures and financial stresses; a Reuters survey last week found almost half of economists expect a 0.75 per cent rise from the ECB this week, with the remainder tipping a 50 basis point hike.
Make no mistake, Putin knows exactly what he’s doing by using higher energy prices to push up inflation and subsequently interest rates for a Western world that has become increasingly financialised in the past decade.
Or Putin himself put in a speech in June: “The economy of imaginary wealth is being inevitably replaced by the economy of real and hard assets.”
And Europe’s energy crisis will not be solved any time soon. In the short term, Europe bans Russian oil on December 3. In the longer term, pressure on energy supply will persist until new, cheap sources of gas can be found or the long and complex shift to renewables can be made.
Australia will obviously not be immune from a higher-for-longer inflationary outbreak.
While we’re not seeing anything like the energy shortages seen in Europe, we have experienced the pain of higher energy prices this year. And there will be many other ways higher inflation is imported here, from more expensive zinc to aluminium to bathroom tiles.
More than that though, a more inflationary world is not good news for investors in equities or for savers.

I’m waiting for the usual suspects point out that the judge who ruled that a Special Master be appointed was a “Trump appointed judge”.
I’m imagining the ones who have read more than just tweets know why hence they’re not buying into it.
But let’s wait for the low info surrogates to point it out.
PS It’s a trap !
It is not a ‘howler’
Speying cows in the crush on station stockyards was common in that era on large stations.
There is nothing remarkable about speying cows, in large numbers, in station stockyards.
That article is bristling with bloopers coz as Joh says, it is written by cadet j’ismists who’ve never been west of Katoomba.
However they’ve not blooped with the comment on speying. They’d have got it from the subject of the interview.
I hope he wrote a book. Three years on Augustus in the early 1960s would be full of action.
Further to the above article:
The Australian Catholic Bishops Conference has released a guide on gender and identity to support Catholic schools in responding to the individual social and pastoral needs of students.
The Committee proposes that the House sits one hour earlier on Tuesdays, i.e. from
1.00 pm, rather than 2.00 pm; that the House dispenses with the dinner break; and that
the House concludes business at 7.00 pm instead of 10.00 pm. By starting an hour earlier,
and forgoing the one-hour dinner break, the House would claw back two hours of the
three hours surrendered by not sitting from 7.00 pm to 10.00 pm.
And by sheer happenstance, they will then be able to have a very long dinner in the Parliamentary dining room, without the boring necessity to avoid being “tired and emotional” when they had to return to the chamber after only an hour for dinner.
The disgraceful issue with Ivermectin is the government clampdown on its use. Its harmless to take and should not have been banned and demonised. That is what the discussion should be about. How the fuck did bureaucrats have the power to threaten Dr’s who wanted to use it?
Does it work? Who knows? Who the fuck cares? COVID is basically harmless to most of us. People will take Ivermectin and feel better, because they would anyway. Take it with Vitamin D, Zinc etc. for better results? I’ve been taking those with the onset of illness for years – its common sense. I’d imagine if you gave patients 3 hearty meals in one day the results would have been the same.
‘Long Covid’ for this variant is a doozy.
You don’t know you have it, you don’t feel a thing and you just get on with life…but you do it for longer!
