Hey cohenite, regale us with ripping yarns of your swashbuckling manly adventures as… a librarian. LOL.
Sure dickless. Libraries are microcosms of society. I would see amidst the genuine readers, researchers and the like, the refuse and rejected who would come in to hide among the normal folk. I would offer them a bit of protection. I can imagine you loitering down the shelves between the periodicals and fiction sections. What was your favourite refuge dickless as you hid in the library away from the harsh world.
Keith Payne, VC, says he’s going, provided he passes the medical.
Fair’s fair m0nty. If you’re going to call for him to make a revelation about himself you ought to start by describing the bravest and most manly thing you’ve ever done in your life.
Dickless thinks he’s on a winner and comes out shrivelled testicles swinging. There’s power in them books which is why I reckon dickless was loiterer in libraries when he was a young prick, hiding from the world.
So you’re an actual working librarian, cohenite? Oh, this is priceless. cohenite the librarian, acts like he’s Schwarzenegger but actually he’s de Vito.
So you’re a government employee as well, I take it. Good to hear you are supporting taxpayer-funded public goods and services to help out the less fortunate. I will try to remember this the next time you make a political point on behalf of corporate fat cats – though you don’t do much of that any more, just insults.

Monty, the fantasy football chap is going to criticize a librarian for not being manly enough?
That would be the morbidly obese chap who took his kids to get their noses ‘rona reamed when they got a sniffle because the quivering blancmange was terrified they might pass it onto him.
But not terrified enough to drop weight/ reduce his own risk by stopping drinking the KFC mop bucket every evening.
I’m a lawyer dickless. Lawyers lie. Just like commies.
C’mon m0nty, overcome your innate modesty and thrill us with a tale of heroism.
Tell us how you got a nasty paper cut from a box of Krispy Cremes but struggled through the pain till you’d opened the box and hoovered them all.
Or is the PTSD still too raw for you to re-live that?
I’m not the one throwing around insults about penises, that’s the librarian doing that. Obviously you would have to be a he-man to cast aspersions like that… or maybe cohenite is actually a clown.

Fatboy, Cronkite’s a lawyer (albeit a family lawyer mostly likely). Lot’s of Lawyers appear to be extremely fond of books and we have friends in the US who are lawyers whose favorite pastime , I recall, was collecting first edition antique books. They eagerly went to auctions for first editions and old books. Lawyers love books, so it wouldn’t surprise that Cronkers has a librarian qualification just to learn how to properly catalogue books. You wouldn’t appreciate this vocation because you’re an uncultured, donut munching obese hippo.

Dover Beach is quite right as far as I can see in regards to the Russian ‘retreat’.
Consider the Rzevh Salient – a series of battles that threatened Moscow in ’42 – 43.
The Salient required 29 Divisions to hold it open. Had the Wehrmacht pulled out of this salient, it would have released 22 Divisions for redeployment across the front.
This creation of an Operational reserve would have reduced the pressure on the transport system on the Eastern Front. The Luftwaffe was suffering appalling losses to its Transport fleet while being engaged in North Africa, the Rzevh Salient and the stalled offensives in the south (Fall Blau)
Russia is now doing what needs to be done – creation of an Operational Reserve and not doing what seems to be a good idea on the map. Remember that the Rasputitsa is just around the corner as well.

September 9 – 11 will go down in history as a period of great significance in the Russo-Ukrainian war. Both belligerent parties crossed very important thresholds, which taken together suggest that the war is entering a new phase. On the 9th and 10th, Ukraine achieved its first concrete success of the war by retaking all the Russian-held territory in Kharkov Oblast west of the Oskil river, including the western bank of Kupyansk and the transit node of Izyum.
Meanwhile, Vladimir Putin convened an emergency meeting of his national security council, which precipitated Russia’s own escalation on the 11th, when Ukrainian infrastructure was at long last subject to attack, plunging much of the country into darkness.
It seems clear that the war is entering a new phase, and it seems highly likely that both parties will attempt to take decisive action in the near feature. For now, let’s try to parse through the developments of the past week and get a handle on where the war is heading.

https://www.theguardian.com/society/2022/sep/12/gay-rights-group-was-set-up-to-promote-transphobic-activity-court-told
The gay rights organisation LGB Alliance was set up to “promote transphobic activity rather than pro-LGB activities”, the head of Consortium, an umbrella group of LGBT organisations told a court on Monday.
In the first full day of hearings in the appeal by the transgender rights charity Mermaids against the Charity Commission’s decision to award charitable status to LGB Alliance, Paul Roberts, the chief executive of Consortium, said that LGB Alliance was created to pursue an anti-trans agenda.
In cross-examination, Akua Reindorf QC, for LGB Alliance, repeatedly questioned whether the label transphobic was merited, arguing there were areas where the rights of lesbian, gay and bisexual people might not be aligned with the rights of trans people, justifying the creation of a separate charitable organisation.
..
Unpick the pathologies in this mass of mindworms..
Reindorf asked Roberts: “Do you think it is transphobic to say a person with a female body cannot be a gay man.” Roberts replied: “Yes.”
Reindorf asked if being attracted to people of the same gender was “a qualitatively different thing” to being attracted to people of the same sex. “I don’t believe we live in such a clearcut, binary way,” Roberts replied.
Reindorf also highlighted concerns raised by LGB Alliance that some children who have been referred to gender identity services might otherwise have gone on to be gay, but were offered puberty blockers as treatment for gender dysphoria.
She cited media interviews with Tavistock gender clinic staff warning that possible same-sex attraction was being ignored and noted that some clinicians had said sending children who may be gay down the pathway to change gender felt like “conversion therapy”.
Roberts said there were “elements of transphobia” in that position.
…
Roberts was also asked to address the question of whether lesbians should be refused membership of lesbian dating sites if they stated they would refuse to date trans women and to state whether he agreed with comments made by Nancy Kelley, the chief executive of Stonewall, that not wanting to date trans people was “sexual racism”.
…
It is understood to be the first time one charity has attempted to remove legal status from another. The hearing will continue until Friday.

Since the are going into Rolfes text messages to prove “racism” I doubt they will be raising all the drunkeness, domestic violence, assaults, etc that might might have led any normal cop to have a negative view.
I don’t think their views would be any different if the locals had been all white but behaving in a similar manner.
I hope the above is not indicating the Chief Minister was involved in the decision to charge Rolfe as that is totally inappropriate.
“Provided I do not include in a finding or statement that a person is or may be guilty of an offence, it does not ‘controvert’ an acquittal for a Coroner to inquire into the facts underlying an offence of which the person has been acquitted,” she wrote.
That’s bullshit. An acquittal is inviolate. However, we have seen examples of people acquitted criminally still liable for damages at a civil standard. Rolfe is going to be positioned for litigated damages on racial grounds.

Good post on Lowe and the RBA.
Tonight on his Sky programme, Chris Kenny tried to dismiss the concerns of those of us who are opposed to the Voice because he says that most of those who are opposed to the Voice are also monarchists. Don’t know where he conjured that up from. Because Kenny has decided that those who are Voice opponents are antiquated monarchists, Kenny describes the arguments of the opponents of the Voice as “paradoxical” and “inconsistent. He then says, and my jaw dropped, that those who are anti the Voice are wrong to argue that it will give greater rights to one race of people (it will), instead Kenny insists that our worries are misplaced because, and without flinching, he insists that the “Voice” is not about race, rather it is actually about it being about the descendants of the original inhabitants and there are having no rights being awarded on race, instead only a “fair and reasonable chance to have a say on the issues effecting them”.
Words fail me.

BOM weather report:
Key atmospheric and oceanic indicators of the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) show an established La Niña. Tropical Pacific sea surface temperatures have been cooling since June and are now at La Niña thresholds. Atmospheric indicators including the Southern Oscillation Index (SOI), trade wind strength, and equatorial cloudiness are also displaying patterns typical of a La Niña event.
Models indicate this La Niña event may peak during the spring and return to neutral conditions early in 2023. La Niña events increase the chances of above-average rainfall for northern and eastern Australia during spring and summer.
The negative Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) event continues. The IOD index has satisfied negative IOD thresholds (i.e. at or below ?0.4 °C) since June, with the latest weekly value being ?0.8 °C. All surveyed climate models agree that negative IOD conditions are likely to continue into late spring. A negative IOD event is typically associated with above average spring rainfall for much of Australia. When a La Niña and negative IOD combine, it further increases the likelihood of above average rainfall over Australia, particularly in the eastern half of the continent.
The Southern Annular Mode (SAM) is currently in a positive phase and is likely to be mostly positive for the coming three months. During the spring months, a positive SAM has a wetting influence for parts of eastern New South Wales and far eastern Victoria, but a drying influence for western Tasmania.
The Madden–Julian Oscillation (MJO) continues to show a weak signal with most models suggesting it will remain weak for at least the next seven days. A weak MJO is unlikely to have much impact on Australian climate
Worth mentioning in this context, perhaps, that Kenny is a former Chief of Staff to Maladroit Trumble Esq..
I was speaking with a work colleague yesterday, someone who’s a far-left Guardian reading progressive, at every moment this person spruiks the Voice or some other fashionable progressive cause, and when this person does rant on, I remain shtum. Anyway, this person, who knows I’m a conservative and who knows I’m someone who reads the Oz and watches spooky wooky “Sky after Dark”, was waxing lyrical about the Voice, and then in the next breath asked me, “Cassie, how much Sky television have you watched over the last few days”.
I was quite taken aback.
I replied, “I can never watch too much Sky, particularly Sky after Dark”.
I cannot understand the stance Kenny has taken on the Voice issue for a commentator who has previously demonstrated such common sense on so many issues (the climate scam and renewables especially).
To argue that the process is not race based is insane.

Who cares what “senior officials” think?
Senior officials at Australia’s High Commission in London are deeply concerned and unhappy about Ben Roberts-Smith’s invitation to Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral, with sources close to the arrangements saying they did not expect the Victoria Cross recipient to accept the invitation.
Mr Roberts-Smith — who is awaiting the judgement of his high-profile defamation case against the Nine newspapers over allegations he was a war criminal — is travelling to London to join the commemorations alongside three other Australian VC recipients.
The invitations were immediately issued to the four recipients as part of Operation London Bridge, but The Australian understands DFAT officials linked to Australia House are deeply concerned Mr Roberts-Smith will be attending the Queen’s funeral.
One source with knowledge of the funeral arrangements told The Australian the High Commission initially thought the 43-year-old would decline the invitation because of his high-profile trial and the impending judgment.
Alongside Mr Roberts-Smith, fellow Afghanistan veterans Mark Donaldson and Daniel Keighran will attend the funeral, as well as Vietnam veteran Keith Payne.
The Australian understands only Mr Donaldson has been invited to participate in the Order of Chivalry procession and see the late monarch lying-in-state in the Palace of Westminster.

I am starting to get the impression that the Walker inquest is a two bob kangaroo court set up with the aim of forever destroying Zac Rolfe’s life.
It must rankle those virtue signalling arseholes in the NT that Rolfe was acquitted of any crime connected with shooting dead that crazed “aspiring rapper”.
The more I hear of these activist judges, magistrates and now a coroner, the less faith I have in our legal system.

The way ammo prices are stratospheric, it’s going to be the new currency.
“I am starting to get the impression that the Walker inquest is a two bob kangaroo court set up with the aim of forever destroying Zac Rolfe’s life.”
Yep.
Call me uncharitable, but, reading the NT papers on – line, I’m of the opinion that the inquest was set up to placate the local aspiring rappers, after Zac Rolfe was found “Not Guilty.”
What do I know, but ammo doesn’t appear to be hugely expensive. This joint is selling 357 magnum bullets for under a buck a bullet.

Sorry ZK2A – the stupidity has hidden the irony too well.

I thought pile ons such as the example above were banned after the your thread about comportment- even if it’s Fatboy. If anyone was ever unsure why I can’t stand the turtlehead, the above is a great example of why I consider him to be a vile poisonous prick with zero attributes to any blog.
said in jest right?
Stanley Milgram wept because he knew the truth
… but that’s just speculation on my part
Happy to announce I have never heard of Jack Charles.
Devastated that I missed out on his “wider truths”.
Yes JC.
A good summary is here.
There is one decision, Heller, which is then underpinned by the later case in a lower court of record.

I mean no, they are hand in hand.
I did remember it correctly, Tom G Palmer was involved in Heller v DC.
Thanks Dot.
Ok, I’ve expanded my model by 200%
Pine Lime splice in 1973 = 17c, now = $3.50 (95% loss of purchasing power)
Petrol in 1973 = 9cpl, now = $1.65 ( 95% loss)
Gold in 1973 = $75/Oz, now = $2500 ( 97% loss)
yep… I’m happy with the model.
My God, Paul Murray just had on the execrable Kathy Lette. I turned the volume down.

Your model isn’t great and here’s why. The RBA only began to follow inflation targeting in the early 90s. There was no target before that and we were a very high inflation country prior to the imposition of the target.
You need to make your calculation after the imposition and lets agree that prior to that inflation in Australia was very high.
What pile-on?
Turtlehead.
Dover
Just so I understand, you had to ask the question, “what pile-on” because you were unable to figure it from my first comment alerting you? Really?
Don’t that just warm your heart?
I feel better already.
If those cockheads with their reverse-midas intuitiveness are ‘deeply concerned’ that’s good enough for me!
Oh, you mean Monty getting some stick for picking a fight with cohenite? I don’t class that a pile-on.
OMFG! The George Cross has been debased.
When doing the daily quiz just now I discovered that the entire NHS was collectively awarded the George Cross last year.
This is an obscenity.
Duk
Using the implicit deflator between 1993 to the present the inflation rate has been 2.68% compounded.
here:
Deflator, 1993 was 56.7 vs 122.15 in 2022.
Then clarify exactly what you mean by a pile -on if it’s not two or more people piling onto someone else.
Stop it with the ambiguity and get some freaking control.
These indirect discussions about others are poison and kunt is always doing it.
You think I was talking about Teslas? What else did you think I was talking about by asking?
For 99% of my life Malta George Cross was the only collective award.
The award 10-15 yrs ago to the entire RUC, at time of it being disbanded, that was fair enough.
But the NHS tik-tokkers? This is a deliberate devaluation of the award.
Who in their right mind would seriously consider NHS staff to be in the same league of bravery & endurance as the RUC or the people of Malta?
King Chilla should find out who was behind this & order their head chopped off.
There are six Georges spinning underground at 8000rpm at the thought, going ‘no chance I’m being associated with that shit.’
Not sure how that differs from last week’s definition of a ‘pile-on’.
Lizzie got in a blue with someone who was very persistent, with a bit of peripheral commentary on both sides.
I take a pile-on as a group targeting an innocent party.
Pile-on: (a) when two or more people mock another. (b) when two or more people simultaneously disagree with JC.
(c) any pile-on is okay and is not actually a pile-on if JC plus one or more others are ganging up in mocking another.
Lefties love giving each other awards. Pretty much every award lower than the VC is now like the mauve elephant stamp you got in kindergarten. Meaningless. Walklies and Pulitzers especially.
Happy to announce I have never heard of Jack Charles. Devastated that I missed out on his “wider truths”.
Check this out then:
Jack Charles: ‘I’d rob to collect rent for stolen Aboriginal land’
Six stark words epitomised Charles on the tagline of a 2009 documentary about him: Addict. Homosexual. Cat burglar. Actor. Aboriginal.
He is, of course, much more than the sum of these parts. In the decade since, the 75-year-old has ended the cycle of prison, homelessness and heroin which dictated much of his adult life and informed his acclaimed work.
Now he’ll only participate in arts festivals on the strict condition he’s flown business class, never economy. He refuses to do auditions – directors must take him for coffee if they desire him for a role.
It’s a far cry from his days “crawling into a ball and sleeping in the girls’ public toilets” but, with characteristic self-deprecation, he says: “I know I sound up myself but it’s nice to be able to say that as a blackfella. I reckon I haven’t done too badly for an old crim!”

I was just back from dinner and skimmed your comment. Why does it matter?
It differs because Lizzie has never been confused with a troll whereas Monty has.
What defines an “innocent party” in an online stoush?
Is it, for example, the one who uses oblique, passive-aggressive “Top Table” tactics as against someone who is more direct?
Who defines the innocent party? You do capriciously, because if you went by the standard you’re attempting to change the rule. Liz wouldn’t be an innocent party. In fact Fatboy would be far innocent in relative terms.
You should apply your rules fairly and not make it up as you go along.
For those who want to bring up the presumption of innocence: no. The tradition of the Cat is that the mod is Judge Dredd: judge, jury and executioner. A history I fully support.
JC, don’t get wishy-washy on me. I can handle the librarian and his nerd posse.
<blocZachary Rolfe’s ’use of force covered up’
Matt Cunningham
Sky News Northern Australia Correspondent

32 minutes ago September 13, 2022
Senior Northern Territory police were constantly covering up Constable Zachary Rolfe’s unjustified use of force, according to statements made by his former fiance.
Claudia Campagnaro – a former Alice Springs police officer – also told investigators Constable Rolfe had told her he liked being a soldier because “it was good money and they could go out and kill people”.
Parts of Ms Campagnaro’s statements were published by Coroner Elisabeth Armitage after she ruled her evidence was relevant in the inquest into the death of Indigenous man Kumanjayi Walker, whom Constable Rolfe shot dead during a botched arrest attempt at Yuendumu on November 9, 2019.
The coroner also ruled “racist” text messages exchanged between Constable Rolfe and other Alice Springs police officers should be admitted as evidence.
In her published decision, Ms Armitage detailed passages from three statements Ms Campagnaro gave investigators as part of the coronial brief of evidence.
In one of those, she said a female detective had scratched Constable Rolfe’s face to provide “justification” for him punching Aboriginal man Malcolm Ryder during an arrest in January 2018.
Mr Ryder was subsequently charged with hindering and assaulting police. He was later acquitted by judge Greg Borchers, who found aspects of Constable Rolfe’s accounts were “untrue”, “wrong”, and “a pure fabrication”.
Ms Campagnaro said she and her police partner had interviewed Mr Ryder after the incident. “Malcolm, he just kept saying … ‘The police officer just had the devil in his eyes’, ‘I was punched in the head’, and ‘I have not done anything wrong’.”
In one of her statements, Ms Campagnaro said: “Zak (sic) has told me, ‘Thank god my body worn wasn’t on because everyone would have seen I was punching Ryder on the floor’.”
Another of her statements suggests Alice Springs watch commanders regularly covered up Constable Rolfe’s use of force.
“I remember him saying words to the effect of ‘The Watchies constantly fix up my jobs’. I’m not sure of the process of how it works but when someone reports you, as in Zak (sic), they would constantly get rid of it for him, being the unjustified use of force reports. I’m not sure how they would do this for him.”
Ms Armitage said Ms Campagnaro’s evidence might also suggest Constable Rolfe had an over-preparedness to draw or use a firearm. In one of her statements, Ms Campagnaro said: “Zak (sic) has told me ‘I always get my gun out first’. I don’t remember when he told me this but I just remember him telling me when we were out at (place). He just thought it was funny in the context he was saying it, that he is always first to get his gun out.
“We would just be talking about going on a holiday and he would just off the cuff say words to the effect of ‘If I shot someone, I could go on a six-month holiday’.”
She also said Constable Rolfe had wanted to join the SAS. “Zak (sic) had previously spoken about getting into the SAS and said to me ‘I like being a soldier, it was good money and they could go out and kill people’.
“He said this to me a few times because when we first got together, he was trying to get into the SAS. I don’t know what I thought at the beginning, it should have been a red flag.”
Constable Rolfe and Ms Campagnaro were engaged in March 2018, a month after they began a relationship, but they had separated by the time of Walker’s death.
Good luck recruiting for Northern Territory Police after this little exercise!
you know they cook the books right? my 3 congruent real world examples show you how much.
Gee, I dunno, do you?
That’s just bullshit, because if you really believed Fatboy is a troll you would have banned him as per your “theoretical” policy about trolls.
You don’t believe Fatboy is a troll. He disagrees with people and actually is relatively nice in terms of what he gets. He’s no troll. You know it and we all do.
You don’t think trying to regain the upper hand in a losing argument by citing “top table higher-ups” at [insert name of institution here] isn’t a form of trolling, or disingenuous debate?
And where does St Ruth sit on your troll spectrum?
By his own admission he engages in hyper-bowl to get a reaction.
That is, trolls.
Fatboy
Let’s be clear. I’m not defending you in the least because you’re a fat idiot. However, principal is principal and unfortunately that also applies to a fat abalone like you.
Govern me harder, daddy.
Oh, you mean Monty getting some stick for picking a fight with cohenite? I don’t class that a pile-on.
You think I was talking about Teslas? What else did you think I was talking about by asking?
WTF is wrong with you head prefect; dickless insulted the hour of librarians everywhere; and by librarians I don’t mean the commies who have infested that glorious, selfless profession; fat-arsed lessos and soyboys who abuse the wonderful heritage of Melville. I’m beginning to think you have an overdue library book.
If you people don’t stop squabbling, I will turn this car around and there won’t be pile-ons for anyone.
Correct. Any insult to a librarian is an insult to all of us librarians.
JC, don’t get wishy-washy on me. I can handle the librarian and his nerd posse.
The only thing you could handle is your dick; if you had one.
Is that what the boss says to you at the motel, you complete fraud?
