If you look at the Painting then that is not a Giant’s head.
But:
Microcephaly is a condition in which a person’s head size is much smaller than that of others of the same age and sex. Head size is measured as the distance around the top of the head. A smaller than normal size is determined using standardized charts.
And, in among the list of causes for microheadedness:
Becoming infected with the Zika virus while pregnant can also cause microcephaly. The Zika virus has been found in Africa, the South Pacific, tropical regions of Asia, and in Brazil and other parts of South America, along with Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean.
Maybe Goliath had microcephaly. Maybe he was a giant but had a small head. Maybe he was so angry all the goddamn time because people were teasing him. Maybe he couldn’t get a date for the end of school formal because the girls laughed at him and called him Pinhead.
Maybe he wanted David to kill him with a fantastic shot, at range, into a small target before cutting his tiny head off. Perhaps all he needed was a cuddle and $900,000 worth of NDIS carers.
But nooooo. Laugh at Goliath’s disability all you like, you monsters. Bet you’re glad he’s dead, you Nazis.
Horrible, horrible people. Just horrid.
Nah………..He was never a Giant. It is just one of those Biblical stories. All in God’s Will and Plan. Some Plan though…………………

Rolls Royce is proof of Beery’s Law of Advertising;
The quality of a product is inversely correlated to its amount of advertising.
Rolls Royce has zero advertising. Consistent with Beery’s Law of Advertising, its quality is second to none. VB, on the other hand, has lots of advertising. Just sayin’.
2000 years hence some person will hear of the story of Andre the Giant and another person will say that was just an exaggerated claim by promoter, Vince McMahon, there is no such thing as a Giant.
I gotta say, since being outed as a “square” by Tom, due to my not being au fait with current advertising trends, I’ve forced myself (a la “A Clockwork Orange” type open eyes) to consume lotsa advertising over the past coupla months.
Amount of VB advertising I’ve seen in that time: Zero.

NEWS: 32 young Canadian doctors “died suddenly” in the past 16 months while fully COVID-19 vaccinated!
These doctors were actively practicing medicine & were healthy prior to taking illegally mandated COVID-19 Vaccines (2, 3 or 4 doses).

I got a terrible shock today. Someone I play Bridge with, who I saw only a couple of weeks ago, had an upset stomach. She went to the doctor who prescribed antibiotics and when these didn’t work she went to a hospital and was admitted for tests. It turned out that she had cancer which had metastasised. They weren’t sure where it had originated. She died a week later. She was 72 years old.
Is this normal? Cancer kills but not this fast. At least not in the past.
Another one.

Yes, well, ‘£130 billion to freeze household energy bills.’. Funny.
Yes, but who is making the best engines right now?
GE are. This is courtesy of two things, the more engines you have out there, the more you learn. The second is that most GE engines end their lives generating power on the ground, burning anything that can be pumped and that will burn, they know how their engines break.
RR and GE were once engaged in a discussion on a potential contamination issue. Diesel into Jet, couldn’t see it in the spec tests but reasonably sure a very limited contamination had occurred. GE: as long as the Diesel didn’t have red dye in it you’re good to go. The response from RR was much less assured.

How many more times do we have to go through this?
First, the gummint fucks something up.
Then, they throw untold (and unsourced) taxpayer dollars at it to try to fix it.
It happened with COVID, it is happening with energy. Those are both big ticket items.
Meanwhile, there are some real problems that need to be addressed, like the fact that there are not enough homes for people to live in, so that people are sheltering in their cars or in tents or in a borrowed 1960s caravan in someone’s backyard. This is a result of natural disasters.
The solution is apparently to increase the migrant intake to 190,000 a year. I assume that they are going to live above the unicorn stables.
A cynic might even suspect that the original eff-up was deliberate. How else could those sweet, sweet taxpayer dollars be legitimately accessed and “redistributed”?

Peter Dutton wants to “remain open-spirited and generous-minded” about an Indigenous voice to parliament but he is demanding more answers from Labor on how the body would work.
The Opposition Leader used the joint Coalition partyroom meeting on Tuesday to say he would not come to a position on the body until he received more detail from the government.
“Labor seems to be making it up as they’re going along, they can’t answer even the most basic questions,” he told MPs. “They say that the voice will only apply to policies that apply to Indigenous Australians but surely foreign policy and defence policy affects Indigenous Australians.
“We still don’t know what the body is going to look like, how it will be made up, and which communities will be represented and how they will be chosen.”
Liberal MPs told The Australian they did not believe Mr Dutton would ultimately support the voice proposal.
In Labor’s caucus meeting on Tuesday, MPs received a briefing on the voice referendum from Indigenous Australians Minister Linda Burney, Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus and West Australian senator Pat Dodson.
Senator Dodson, the special envoy for the implementation of the Uluru Statement from the Heart, said “we have narrowed down our task this term to entrench a successful referendum”.
Mr Dreyfus said the “slow build” campaign would work only if it was driven by the community.
Ms Burney was asked by a Labor MP about how to refer to the claim by the Greens that a treaty should come before the voice.
She said the government’s position was for a voice to come in the first instance and noted work would happen concurrently on forming a Makarrata commission to oversee the treaty process.
She also urged MPs against being distracted by what the Greens were proposing.
With Victoria already commencing treaty negotiations, Senator Dodson said the state was “in a different stage of the debate to the rest of Australia”.
“In the voice, representatives will not be from (political) parties. Their point of reference will be First Nations communities.”
Anthony Albanese also stepped up his pitch this week for business to embrace an Indigenous voice to parliament, using his address to the Australian minerals industry dinner on Monday to advance the case.
“A voice to parliament is a matter of common courtesy and common sense,” the Prime Minister told attendees.
“It pays respect to the extraordinary privilege we have to share this ancient continent with the world’s oldest continuous culture. And it recognises the right of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to have a say on the decisions that affect their lives.
“Nothing more – but nothing less.”
He said the voice was a “straightforward act of Australian decency” and “Australian fairness should be above politics.”
“For a referendum to succeed, we will need to recruit and embrace every advocate and ally and supporter, from ‘every point under the southern sky’,” he said.
Oz
this is Joe Lycett’s parking fine story which I most amusing, ah ha ha

Well Mr Beige it’s the less not the more about the inVoice which many are worried about, furthermore, the right of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people do have a say in the decisions that affect their lives — THEY VOTE
so how about all those who are indigenous to this land identify and register as such – so where does that leave all the migrants, legal and illegal? would that then make any inVoice discriminatory?

The federal government has changed aged care funding and dozens of councils have dropped meals on wheels and other care programs for the elderly in the home.
After two years of pandemic lockdowns because the death of a 96 year old was a Dan Andrews tragedy it seems like government policy is now the pandemic is over, old people don’t matter any more and to push people into the residential aged care system or perhaps the euthanasia system.
Maybe the decision makers have had enough of waiting to buy into Camberwell.

“Peter Dutton wants to “remain open-spirited and generous-minded” about an Indigenous voice to parliament but he is demanding more answers from Labor on how the body would work.”
Here’s an idea Mr Dutton, you can be open-spirited and generous-minded by just saying NO. The only people who are leading the NO campaign at the moment are people like Rowan Dean, Andrew Bolt, Rita Panahi and ex-politicians like Tony Abbott. The stupid fucking Liberals are hiding in a corner, too scared to say yay or nay.
Once again this proves that the stupid fucking Liberals are spineless and next to useless. They won’t fight any battles.
Anyway, whilst it might not have any parallels with Oz, I’m comforted by the huge NO in the Chilean referendum. I suspect we’ll see similar here.
Except, if you are watching closely, you’ll notice that they are turning it around and using it to justify going away from ‘fuels which are subject to such manipulation and cost’.
Additionally, previous government’s are apparently to blame for this situation because they dragged their feet on building a country full of solar panels, wind farms and shed like batteries. “We must build more, much more and with great haste!”
You have to give it to them. They know about each way bets and can pivot on a dime.
Yes, it’s exposed the truth about our continued reliance on fossil fuels, but that in itself has given them added justification to speed up the destruction. In fact, the Ukraine issue has provided the perfect cover for what was going to happen anyway, due to green policies.
“The war is causing the energy shortage, not our ridiculous green policies. The fuel for renewables is free!”

He never gave a fuck about the death of anyone or anything, except his political career and position of power.
The Fix was in before the thief was the the candidate. That’s the reason he was the candidate. Remember not even his own party voters wanted him and the next thing he’s the candidate. Was he the only one that had no morals (rhetorical) about cheating and the powers that be had so much on him it was an offer he couldn’t refuse, not that he wanted to. In my jaundiced opinion Yes is the only answer to all the above.
“He never gave a fuck about the death of anyone or anything, except his political career and position of power.”
I watched Andrews last night on a news clip and whilst we all knew, I was still struck by how much of a sociopath he truly is.

A Ukraine citizen who opened fire on a Russian Su-34 jet with a rifle and “destroyed” it has been awarded a medal and branded a “hero.”
The State Border Service of Ukraine announced Friday that officials had awarded “pensioner” Valeriy Fedorovych with a medal “for assistance in the protection of the state border.”
Officials said that in March, when Russian President Vladimir Putin’s troops continuously bombarded Chernihiv, a hard-hit city in northern Ukraine, Fedorovych “took his rifle and opened fire.”
“Heroes among us,” officials said, adding that after Fedorovych fired at the jet with his rifle, “the enemy fighter Su-34 was targeted and destroyed.”

Europe’s energy crisis has nothing to do with Vladimir Putin. His invasion of Ukraine has simply ripped off the protective band aid off and exposed the infected scab but all of this would have happened anyway. Believing that renewables such as solar and wind are the future of energy is akin to believing in fairies and goblins. The simple truth is that renewables such as solar and wind are disastrous. The West is, in real time, committing economic suicide, which was always the intent because this scam of climate change is an apocalyptic religious cult aimed at bringing down the West. It’s all going to plan.

“Is this normal? Cancer kills but not this fast. At least not in the past.”
You mentioned the cancer had metasised, that means it had already spread from the primary location to secondary sites in her body.
That doesn’t mean the cancer killed her quickly, it just means she wasn’t diagnosed until it was too late.
Doesn’t mean that all metasised cancer isn’t treatable though, just depends on when it’s diagnosed.
She might have had it for years.
In fact the only young one of the ‘three young Canadian doctors ‘ had a form of stomach cancer that only causes symptoms after it metasised.

Yes, but who is making the best engines right now?
GE. What rickw said.
Rolls Aero is a company that traded on its reputation for the Merlin for a long time. They didn’t cover themselves in glory with trying to get the Whittle engine into production after they got it from Rover.
The Meteor first flight was held up due unavailability of engines. Meanwhile, over at de Havilland, Frank Halford built the Goblin engine without a lot of trouble so they put two in the one and only Meteor F2 for first flight.
The early Avon was so bad they had to get Armstrong Siddeley to help with the axial compressor. Rolls did however curry favour with the UK government so got the majority of the Hunter contract even though the A-S Sapphire powered Hunter was a good aircraft with fewer engine issues.
The RB211 bankrupted the company and nearly brought down Lockheed. The carbon fiber fan blades seemed like a good idea until the birdstrike tests.
My airline pilot mate has flown Fokker F27 with RR Dart – one engine failure when rear turbine bearing failed and blades rubbed off on casing, F28 (RR Spey engines) one engine failure after takeoff. Failed engine fuel pump IIRC. Also Boeing 737, 767, 747 with GE, RR and P&W engines. Zero failures but he says the GE engine is carefree for the pilot. The others require more careful handling when at top of descent to avoid the rotating bits rubbing on the casings. Modern large turbofans use active clearance control on the turbine wheels whereby air is blown into tubes around the casings to shrink them for minimum clearance and better efficiency=fuel consumption. GE apparently do it better.

Irish teacher jailed for indeterminate time over trans pupil row
JACQUELIN MAGNAY
EUROPE CORRESPONDENT
@jacquelinmagnay
A schoolteacher at a Church of Ireland school has been jailed after refusing to address a transitioning student as “they” rather than “he”.
Enoch Burke was this week found in contempt of court for refusing to stay away from Wilson’s Hospital School in Co. Westmeath pending an investigation by the school board into his refusal to address the student in the manner preferred by the student.
Mr Burke had attended the school to prepare for the return of classes this week, and had been in an empty classroom when arrested by gardaí on Monday morning and taken before the Four Courts in Dublin. The court was told Mr Burke had breached the terms of the school’s suspension and also an ex-parte injunction.
Judge Michael Quinn sentenced Mr Burke to an indeterminate time at Mountjoy prison for being in contempt of court, by not staying away from the school.
After the ruling, Mr Burke, who teaches his students German, politics and history, said: “I love my school, with its motto Res Non Verba, actions not words, but I am here today because I said I would not call a boy a girl”.
He added: “It is insanity that I will be led from this courtroom to a place of incarceration, but I will not give up my Christian beliefs.” He said his views on transgender were also the ethos of the Church of Ireland and that of the school.
Rosemary Mallon, legal counsel for Wilson’s Hospital School’s board of management said it was with a “heavy heart” and last resort that it sought Mr Burke’s committal to prison, but the teacher had continued to attend the school, despite a court order which it had obtained last week.

Dover, another website to add to your list….European Conservative – https://europeanconservative.com/
European Conservative is a new publication, less than a year old. It’s both online and is available to buy, or was available to buy in the UK. WH Smith is a UK chain that sells books, magazines and so on. It seems that this new publication’s very existence has managed to annoy two far-left progressives who complained to WH Smith and so what did the brave people at WH Smith do? Why, you guessed it, WH Smith have pulled the sale of European Conservative. Here’s what happened, overnight from The New Culture Forum (a Youtube channel I highly recommend)….

Youda thinka, given the parlous state of retailers and particularly retailers selling books and magazines, that WH Smith would not succumb to such militant far-left activism, particularly when it’s only two people who complained, but it seems not. Cowards are running the world.

Psychology Today article titled “Rage Is the Rage. Is rage ruining your day? Learn effective responses.”
You post a perspective on something that has happened in your life or something you care about, and you receive a litany of insults and debates from people who take issue with your perspective. You try to explain yourself, but the insults only get more heated. You wonder if you should even engage online with people whom you once considered friends. Does anyone win in this scenario? Did you post something looking for a fight, or just wanting to express an opinion?
The answer in all of these different scenarios is of course not. No one ever deserves anger, vitriol, and emotional and physical threats from others… No one ever deserves emotional or physical violence in their lives from someone they care about.
It can be hard to take a step back and refuse to engage, but the more drawn in you become to an angry person, the more your physical responses are negative and harmful to you. That’s the problem with such rage; it hurts the person who is full of rage and the person who might respond in an angry manner, too.
Angry responses can affect us by sending a flood of stress chemicals and metabolic changes, and can eventually wear away at our physical well-being, resulting in immediate problems, and longer-term issues when anger goes unchecked:
headache
digestion problems, such as abdominal pain
insomnia
increased anxiety
depression
high blood pressure
skin problems, such as eczema
heart attack
stroke
It’s important to first recognize that when someone is unnecessarily angry toward you, for some people it is a natural reaction to respond defensively and with anger right back. This sets off a cycle where you waste emotional energy being negative rather than become objective and allow the other person to churn with their anger.
The next time someone lashes out at you, take an objective and ‘interested observer’ view of their actions. Ask yourself, “What makes a person want to hurl such harmful things at another person?” “What could be happening in this person’s life to make them so angry and hateful?” If you can adopt an air of curiosity, this can help defuse the response to the angry person. It’s not that you allow for the bad behavior, and it’s not that you forgive it or ignore it; you just become more curious about it. Becoming detached and quiet as you observe can sometimes calm your own inner upset and response.
If you do think a response is required, and sometimes it is, consider the most objective and calm manner in which to respond. Sometimes.. it might be the healthiest thing to ignore it… Other times, like with a friend who has written a hateful response to your post on social media, you might want to pen a thoughtful and calm response. Becoming detached in the face of an angry person gives you choices and helps you to determine what is best – for you.
Responding to rage with rage never serves anyone. No one wins and everyone loses. The best response is one that is delivered with a calm and thoughtful message, or sometimes with none at all. Consider what’s best for you, in each and every interaction.
what then Bishop Steiner said about civil unions
I don’t have a problem with non Christian same sex couples entering civil unions to properly arrange their affairs.
Just don’t pretend such arrangements are marriage.
“I don’t have a problem with non Christian same sex couples entering civil unions to properly arrange their affairs.
Just don’t pretend such arrangements are marriage.”
Yep.
I have done the test a few times with different employers. Always very strong INTJ. Schools are doing a simplified one called Ausidentities, and as I am an eagle.
which brings me to the conclusion I came to some time back. The State should only be involved in the ‘civil union’ component of unions and marriages, not Marriage itself.
Wow, Europe Household Electric Bills Estimated to Jump by $2 Trillion Next Year, That’s 12% of Their GDP
September 6, 2022 – Sundance
What is predicted to happen in Europe is just stunning, literally stunning.
?Context – According to official data from the World Bank, the combined Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of the European Union was just over $17 trillion US dollars in 2021. That is the last calculated measure. The combined GDP value of European Union represents roughly 12.78 percent of the world economy.
According to analysts for Goldman Sachs, the current energy crisis in Europe has increased electricity prices at a rate that is increasing almost daily. Within the data it is now estimated that households within the EU will pay an additional $2 trillion for electricity in the next year.
Put that $2 trillion into context with their GDP, and that scale of energy cost would be wiping out 12% of the purchasing strength within the total EU economy. Forget about buying anything else, if this analysis is correct Europeans will be buying food and energy, nothing else.
If you consider what that means, it is bordering on full economic collapse of western Europe.
The world’s oldest continuous culture is actually the San Bushmen of Southern Africa – over 100,000 years….

the grinning humanoids in the video are the real people
Bear with the Hun, they get to the point around paragraph 463:
‘An Australian man has detailed how he got monkeypox while doing something “any normal 26 year old would do overseas”.
Sydneysider Jack Barlow talked to Channel 10’s The Project about how he picked up the virus on Tuesday night’s program during a segment about Australia’s response to the outbreak and the stigma people with the disease are already facing.
One Project host took the opportunity to threw shade on KIIS FM host Kyle Sandilands who called those with monkeypox “dirty” and added if he was a doctor who would ban those with it from his practice.
“A huge amount of anxiety washes over you,” Mr Barlow told The Project’s Hamish McDonald.
“What if I accidentally give it to my friends?” was one of the worries Mr Barlow said he had about the disease despite the fact most people make a full recovery from it.
He is thought to be one of the first Australians to go public with a monkeypox diagnosis.
In the West, monkeypox has mostly been confined to men who have sex with other men, which has largely shielded its spread to their groups.
A couple of large dance parties and festivals in Europe before summer are thought have been where the virus first built up a head of steam.
But Mr Barlow said he didn’t get it from a party or festival.
“I actually caught it of just a single holiday fling,” he said.
“Just something any normal 26 year old would do overseas. And it was actually on the same day my symptoms began.”
Mr Barlow was on a trip to Providence, a resort popular with the LGBTI community close to Boston in the US.
Many people who have caught monkeypox have faced excruciating symptoms including nausea, aches and even difficult sitting and walking.
The disease is characterised by a period where lesions appear on different parts of the body.
Luckily, Mr Barlow’s symptom were far milder. Nonetheless he stayed in isolation for three week until he was given the all clear.
He even lightened the mood of his diagnosis by announcing it on social media dressed as former NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian in the style of when she announced the daily Covid numbers at the height of the pandemic.
“I could have felt miserable about myself or I could have done something.”’
So Mr Barlow caught it how 98 percent of cases have. Through gay sex. And the Gladys thing was just so dandy! FMD
“Tolkien is turning in his grave,” Musk wrote, adding that “almost every male character so far is a coward, a jerk, or both.”

‘Australian pensioners will be encouraged to downsize and free up their larger homes for younger families under a potential new law.
Labor will on Wednesday introduce a Bill to parliament that would give age pension recipients more time before the proceeds from the sale of their homes affect their pension payments.
The Albanese government’s legislation would give pensioners an additional 12-month asset test exemption on their home sale proceeds.
Labor says the exemption is designed to give people more time to purchase, build, rebuild, repair or renovate a new principal home before their pension is affected.
Under the new Bill, the assets test exemption would be extended to 24 months for principal home sale proceeds, with an additional 12-month extension available in extenuating circumstances such as a natural disaster.
The changes would see the deeming rate on principal home sale proceeds that pensioners intend to use to purchase a new home significantly lowered from 2.25 per cent per year to 0.25 per cent per year.
The deeming rate is an assumed rate of return on financial assets which is used in determining pension amounts.
More than 8000 pensioners downsized last year and Labor hopes this number will increase if its changes are legislated.
“We don’t want people putting off downsizing to a more suitable home because they are concerned about the impact it could have on their payment rate and overall income,” Social Services Minister Amanda Rishworth said.
“These changes will give pensioners more flexibility to find a suitable new home and it will hopefully free up larger housing stock for younger families who need it.”
The legislation comes two months after ABS data revealed the number of spare bedrooms in Australian houses had increased from 12.7 million in the 2017-18 financial year to 13 million in the 2019-20 financial year.
Census data released at the end of June also revealed about one in 10 Australian houses were vacant, with the majority of those thought to be holiday homes and investment properties.
Labor can easily get legislation through the lower house, but it needs the support of the Greens and one crossbencher in the Senate in order to pass laws without the Coalition.’
Legislation to coax pensioners from their homes to accommodate young families or immigrants.
These pensioners who have paid their dues should not have to make this decision on the whims of the government. Yes there are 8000 who have done this. Voluntarily. And who would have weighed the pros and cons of their decision.
Bloody hell I need to search faster! Or type quicker. Or both!

Some cancers tend not to present until very advanced, so theres nothing per se about the above thats sinister, but the real Q is whether immune system damage due to the needles is contributing to the apparent in increase in so called ‘turbo cancers’ (cancers that progress very fast).
I think we all throw up cancer cells regularly, moreso as we age, and the immune system is critical in detecting and killing these before they get out of hand. If the shots ARE damaging the immune system (and the rise in shingles suggests they are), then more and faster growing cancers are a likely consequence.

The facilitator told her people can occasionally have adjoining types as the chart is actually divided into quarters. In my wifes case the types were in opposite quarters. The repeated test confirmed the first test. Like anything outliers exist, they’re the ones worth looking at not discarded as what usually happens.
Someone last night praising a pilot for “nailing a three-point landing” in a crosswind.
If you were in commuter aeroplane built after 1950, I hope he didn’t do a three point landing.
A three point landing is an anachronism referring to tail-wheel aircraft, where the high angle of attack required for landing coincides with the aircraft’s normal nose high resting position on the ground.
With nose-wheel aircraft, that same angle of attack means the main gear touchs first, with the nose wheel still in the air.
But let’s see what Eyrie says.
She died a week later. She was 72 years old. Is this normal?
Resident here in town , no pain or symptoms until what appeared to be a stroke.
Dead less than 3 weeks later, cancer throughout the body.
People are very used to associating cancer with a lot of pain, but in some cases it just sneaks along until its big enough to tip a vital body system over.

Whaaa? Zelensky’s thugs are telling the EU to repress it’s own people? WTF?
I still remember a neighbour of ours when we were kids.
Late 30’s, outwardly as fit as a fiddle.
Felt crook one day, went to doc.
In hospital, opened up and closed up straight away.
Dead within a week.
I used to work in aeromedical rescue in SA. That would be one of the most coveted and sought after jobs in medicine. So much so that virtually ALL the staff (Drs, nurses, paramedics) were not only excellent in their own fields, but had some other high end ‘outside skill’ as well. In my case, this meant I could add military trauma, active firefighter (BA and rescue trained), national level motorsport and competent on horseback to my potential skills. In other cases it meant a paramedic was also a qualified electrician or pilot. In Richard Harris’s case it meant he was also a world class technical diver.
As such we had an endless stream of local and overseas junior doctors and med students come through on placements – many of whom said ‘you have a dream job – how can I be so lucky?’
My answer – this is a very demanding job and if you are good enough and work hard enough, you can do it too. If you aren’t good enough or aren’t going to work hard enough, you don’t deserve to be here – if ever a retrieval team is turning out to rescue one of my kids. I don’t want it crewed by the latest in line in the current ‘diversity hire demographic’, I want it crewed by the people who crawled over the bleeding bodies of everyone else who wanted the job but wasn’t as good.
Incidentally – our staff included males, females, male and female homosexuals, a german, a turk, english irish and scots ….. at least one black man etc etc etc.
One of the partners at my first (and only) law firm was diagnosed with bowel cancer and was dead six weeks later. Nice guy, left a young family. It happens.

Terry McCrann on Albo’s summit:
‘The Prime Minister’s ‘light-bulb moment in May’ summit was a big and even impressive success and an utter and what should have been an embarrassing failure.
Then wannabe PM Anthony Albanese sprung it from nowhere at a business lunch late in the election campaign – there was no mention of it in the ‘The Plan’ that he and now-Treasurer Jim Chalmers talked about incessantly, or on the campaign website, and there still isn’t.
In delivery last week, it was the talkfest version of the advice to government to ‘never hold an inquiry unless you already know the answer’.
The fix was in, well before the summit, on the only two ‘decisions’ of significance; and the fix was then duly delivered – with impressively straight faces from PM and Treasurer.
The big one was the return to industry-wide IR bargaining – or, from the business and especially SME business perspective, bludgeoning – delivered to the unions and the embattled ACTU leadership duo in particular.
The second was the increase in permanent immigration by 35,000 to 195,000 a year, as the double ‘gimme’ payoff to business.
Why not the 40k to 200k agreed and expected?
Presumably ‘someone’ thought the 35k/195k would look like it had emerged from serious and deep analysis and discussion at the summit and not just the delivery of a ‘fix already in’.
But in any event, it gave business the two major things it wants. Ever more people, to sell ever more stuff – from TVs to apartments and properties, to services and infrastructure, from hospitals to schools and roads. And at the more immediate end, the desperately needed workers for farms in the spring picking season to wait staff to check-out chicks, non-gender specific, to delivery bike and motorbike riders.
The summit enabled PM and Treasurer to claim 36 so-called points of ‘concrete action’ – most of which had been formally, and indeed formerly, pre-written by Treasury into the summit ‘outcome’ before the summit had even started.
That’s to say, they all knew what fixes were in, and they were duly delivered. Success. But as to another S-word – substance – there was four-fifths of five-eighths of copulating all.
There was zero attempt to actually analyse at any depth or breadth how we actually could get the jobs – both quantity and quality – that we need to keep building a more prosperous, fully employed, 21st century Australia. Just look at the two big decisions. How does industry-wide wage bargaining create either jobs or skills?
Yes, higher benefits to workers, maybe; and as the 1970s and 1980s showed us, fewer jobs as businesses were driven to the wall. And another 35k permanent migrants? Yes, they are officially dubbed ‘skilled’, but they are really just to plug all the existing empty jobs, mostly at the low end of the skills spectrum. The other 34 so-called ‘action points’ were all the sorts of things governments are expected to do in their ‘day job’.
Governments have for decades been deciding how many TAFE places there should be and who should pay for them. Governments have for decades been deciding what pensioners can earn before they start losing some of their pension.
And pu-leeze – Another $4000? Who came up with that generous figure? A treasurer adviser exhumed from the 1980s? Can anyone in Canberra actually do some basic maths?
Gee, a pensioner is going to be able to earn all of an extra $76.92 a week before losing any of their pension?
What’s that – a two-hour-a-week job? And just enough to pay the extra cost of gas and electricity?
And, it’s only a one-off for this financial year anyway.
Forget about actually getting their skills back into the workforce. Forget about helping them pay their – even higher – gas and power bills next winter. Yes, a hugely successful failure.’
The jobs are there alright. In the ‘green’ sector installing solar panels on land in the middle of Bumfuck Idaho.
I blame Gillon McPolo-Pony.
There has been an increase in rapid cancers since the introduction of the ‘stand’ rule.

The ‘rapid growth’ cancers are based on anecdotal evidence.
If … if … there is any notable trend, I would be looking firstly at late diagnosis of people who haven’t seen a doctor in two years.
Meanwhile in Canada:
Armed police have surrounded a house in remote Indigenous community in western Canada left reeling by a deadly stabbing spree as residents were warned the surviving suspect was believed to be hiding on the reserve.
The attack in the James Smith Cree Nation Indigenous community and the town of Weldon on Sunday left 10 dead and 18 wounded.
A massive manhunt for two brothers across the vast Prairies region ensued, focusing at one point on Regina, Saskatchewan province’s capital 300km to the south.
It suddenly turned back to James Cree on Tuesday after police released an emergency message warning that investigators had “received reports of a possible sighting” of suspect Myles Sanderson, 30.
Police in heavily armoured vehicles surged into the community, while calling on area residents to “seek immediate shelter/shelter in place.” A police helicopter flew overhead into the Indigenous area.
Occams razor is now being adopted by such luminaries as Mike Yeadon (ex Pfizer VP) and Neil Oliver (Scottish TV presenter) who discuss their growing realisation that the adverse effects of government on the citizens are a result of deliberate MALICE, NOT of institutional incompetence.
This state of affairs was accurately foreseen by others (not me) in this august journal of record.

3 months of NSW data show it’s not the unvaccinated in hospitals with Covid
Is NSW Health aware that there are barely any unvaccinated patients being hospitalised with Covid? In last week’s Covid surveillance report, there were 0 (zero) unvaccinated patients hospitalised with Covid. In the past 3 months, there was a grand total of 21 unvaccinated patients (0.2%) out of a total 9, 348 Covid hospitalisations.
The remaining 9, 327 is comprised of:
4+ dosed (1, 935),
3 dosed (3, 274),
2 dosed (1, 762),
1 dosed (122),
Unknown (2, 234).
NSW Minister for Health Brad Hazzard’s vaccinations may be up to date, but unfortunately, his Covid FAQs are not.
Incidentally, the NSW Covid FAQs are out of date in more ways than one. They state that vaccinated people have less chance of catching and spreading Covid, but the latest NSW booster drive campaign exemplifies the messaging pivot we are seeing nationally and internationally. Government and health officials are moving away from ‘Vaccines protect the community by preventing infection and transmission’ to, ‘Vaccines protect the community by preventing hospitalisation. Save our hospitals!’.
If the vaccines are improving outcomes for the 87% of the NSW population who has taken them, and yet these people are still over represented in hospitalisation and death (which they are), then we should see the 0 dosed overwhelmingly, unequivocally, absolutely drowning the hospitals and mortuaries with severe illness and death. We’re not seeing that. Further, if the high rates of 3 and 4+ dosed people being hospitalised and dying with Covid is proof that Covid is so deadly that even 4 vaccine doses can’t prevent hospitalisation and death, then we should see ungodly numbers of hospitalisations and deaths with Covid reported for countries with low vaccination take up when controlling for other factors.

JoNova – Lawyer argues doctors breached their sacred duty to patients with vaccines
Some excerpts from lawyer Jullian Gillespie:
The infamous AHPRA March 2021 statement that threatened and coerced and gagged practitioners under threat of regulatory action had no legal basis nor merit.
It was, in fact, an illegal action on the part of AHPRA and the National Boards to have created and released the statement. Neither AHPRA nor the National Boards were empowered to make the statement under the National Law, particularly as it directly coerced and caused practitioners to fail, to strictly observe their Codes of Conduct. Under the National Law. The Codes of Conduct established for each health profession are in fact deemed subordinate legislation and are more particularly called statutory rules, and as such are binding on each practitioner. As statutory rules, the Codes of Conduct for each health profession always prevailed over the 9 March statement where practitioners were always legally required to observe their Code of Conduct first, and despite the AHPRA statement.
A practitioner who does not, and did not follow their Codes of Conduct to the letter, in respect to the COVID-19 injectables, falls into and fell into, breach of the National Law. Due to the scale of the rollout it now appears tens of thousands of practitioners have repeatedly and grossly breached the National Law.
In a couple of days, a critical legal opinion I have authored with lawyer, Peter Fam, will be released publicly titled, ‘Opinion: Legal ramifications for registered health practitioners and AHPRA public officers.
Every practitioner has to generally observe public health obligations towards disease control. Medical code 7.4. Those obligations must be read along with all other obligations and responsibilities imposed upon them by their Codes of Conduct. Including that they were, at all times required, to be providing accurate evidence based information to patients about COVID-19 vaccination, both before and after the March statement….
Due to the scale of the rollout, it now appears tens of thousands of practitioners have repeatedly performed medical treatments, properly termed, gross medical and or professional negligence. With respect to patients receiving the COVID-19 injectables, where each practitioner has no immunity from government whatsoever. So these practitioners are therefore personally and professionally liable to actions for medical negligence from their patients receiving COVID-19 injectables, particularly those patients who subsequently died or suffered adverse side effects from the COVID-19 injectables.
Should those health practitioners subsequently be sued by their patients, and they have to pay damages to their patients, then those health practitioners may in turn be able to sue the public officers of AHPRA and the National Boards for coercing and threatening them to ignore their Codes of Conduct. Such illegal action, again, would be the tort of misfeasance in public office.

Go-Auto – Josh Dowling reporting Second Hand ELectric Vehicles are costing five times more than equivalent petrol cars. (based on Used Car retail prices). Normally mainstream EVs depreciate rapidly however soaring gas prices have led to a surge in demand for used EVs.
Largest jump was Nissan leafs from usd $9k to $29k.(due to 2018 model looking less embarrassing and low stock availability). I note in NZ Tesla is now ranked no. 4 in vol.
Some customers really are nuts.
“I don’t have a problem with non Christian same sex couples entering civil unions to properly arrange their affairs.
Just don’t pretend such arrangements are marriage.”
Little learned, still willing to concede to much important ground.
An actual jogger get kidnapped and killed while jogging.
The Ultra-runner vanished while out for a jog around 4.30am on Friday, sparking a four-day long hunt, which led officers to several wooded areas across Memphis.
Abston, 38, has been charged with especially aggravated kidnapping and tampering with evidence
It has been revealed that Abston previously spent 20 years in jail after he and an accomplice kidnapped a Memphis attorney, who worked in the same firm as Fletcher’s uncle
Completed a BMTI test 10 different types. 2 of them had 3 attributes; 6 had 2 attributes and 2 had 1 attribute. What am supposed to take from that. Didn’t have anything about being a white anglo, red headed, left handed but more ambidextrous now boomer. None of which I am responsible for. My wife thinks as me as work in progress. I think of her as if she was an employee she would have been sacked by smoko on the first day.
This was from Gillespies’ ‘tour de force’ which I linked yesterday, and in a fair world would be the end of AHPRA.
Sadly, we all know no action will be taken – the courts, like everything else, are corrupt.

More white supremacy.
Blood cancers.
Same with my father.
Had other health issues, but no symptoms of this particular cancer.
Only a couple of days from definitive diagnosis until he died.
(They had misdiagnosed something else a few days before, but that was also a plausible diagnosis based on test results).
So, enough with the idle speculation.
Some people here are becoming as bad as the Chicken Little Karens at the beginning of the pandemic.
I wonder if she realizes that righties in the US own about 300 million firearms?
Don’t lose your head lady, even if you have less sense than a pumpkin.
Deterrence
New York City officials line up to SHAKE HANDS with migrants after being bused in from Texas: Families are handed blankets and escorted to Manhattan hotels
I always understood a 3 point landing to be 2 wheels and the nose(note the deliberate omission of the word wheel) 🙂
As for shooting down the jet, the “golden BB” is not totally unknown, and IIRC a very early F111 shootdown in Vietnam was a golden BB from an AK.
But from a shotty ? That would have to be a golden BB with oak leaves, swords and diamonds.
And sneak thru 17mm of cockpit armour?
Oh my wordy lordy yes.
Just as the CHOs and ‘health professionals’ wanted every death since February 2020, regardless of circumstance to be attributed to covid, these gongbangers want every death since February 2021 dropped at the feet of useless vaccines.
The scare tactics and relentless use of the term ‘experts’ on both sides was, and is particularly noticeable.
Similar aircraft (2 engines, 2 pilots, side by side) …. Again, I struggle to conceive how 1 rifle cal projectile could do that.
Quite so, Diogenes.
A three point landing is possible in a nosewheel aircraft, but it is likely to be very fast and very untidy.
