Universities and TAFEs are increasingly using other methods—such as interviews or portfolios—to offer places to school leavers

I must have missed that part where Technical And Further Education colleges use Australian Tertiary Admission Ranks for selection purposes.

Amazing how they can track each individual strain of Omicron.
Fuck, there are a lot of them now.
Makes the idea of a booster for 3 or 4 strains ago seem insane.

The new strains must be weak as. My poor mum was admitted to hospital very close to dying on Friday after months of illness (not covid according to RAT tests in previous weeks), and found to have covid as well as everything else. (She was enjabbenated, but a year later than most.) Turns out the ‘everything else’ was one lung unusable with a stage 4 lung cancer which already owned her lymph nodes and one or two other organs, and the other lung had emphysema.
Yet the covid tested clear three days later; maybe the jab actually did something.
We are losing her anyway. Its going to be soon.

Twiggys lucky he’s got the cash and clout to pay off any adversaries.

He’s best mates with Stokes, so the media is on side. McClowns on the payroll so the state government are on board. He’s UWA’s biggest benefactor so they’ll be no pesky academics throwing spanners in the works. By spending money on green projects, political opponents are subdued, and might make a few quid.

He can dig up WA with impunity. Fair play to him.

we are in the unfortunate position that we actually pay our civilizations worst termites to do so.
All the universities are infested with Jacobin know-nothings who pass on their anti-knowledge to others, and are richly rewarded for doing so.
The damage is even worse in governments, which all seem to be in love with having credentialed mongs as employees, so yesterdays wimmins studies student is todays public serpent..

Australia’s oldest man, Frank Mawer, dies aged 110 after contracting COVID-19

Look at the headline they wrote – the vast majority of people who read that will be saying the old fella died of Covid. A deliberate deception to push the narrative and keep the elderly terrified. The Covid link is tenuous at best:

His other son, Barry said his dad contracted COVID-19 several weeks ago and it had weakened him.

Bingo, there’s the headline! Hey. I contracted Covid several weeks ago and it weakened me, too. Then I recovered. I just want everyone to know that if I die in my sleep tonight, it wasn’t the Covid, okay? Anyway, the son continues:

“He lived life to the full even in recent months,” Barry said.

“He insisted on sitting up for meals, he did his exercises every day and had plenty of visitors.

“He went to have his afternoon nap on Saturday afternoon and never woke up.

Sounds as though he strengthened again. So he died in his sleep at the age of 110, as 110 year olds have a tendency to do, and him contracting Covid lord-knows-when probably didn’t have a thing to do with it. I wonder what questions the son was asked, what his answers were, and how he feels about the death of his father being hijacked to push the Covid catastrophe agenda?

These ABC journalists are fucking shameless. I despise them. They have blood on their hands. How many peoples’ deaths have they caused or hastened by their obscene Covid scaremongering? And they’re still at it. They truly are the enemy of the people. They deserve to be treated as such.

AGW time is considered to correlate with the Industrial Revolution.

Post WWII if your looking for CO2.
There’s not much warming to be seen from the advent of the industrial revolution and most of that is a temperature rebound from the little ice age that petered out in the mid 1800’s.
Curiously a great chunk of the supposed anthropogenic temperature increase occurred in the early part of last century and then flattened out in the 1950’s – 80’s.
Earth’s epochs are on very long time lines. The North American continent is still slowly rising from the lost weight of the ice sheet in the last ice age.

Germany’s Die Linke on verge of split over sanctions on Russia
Leftwing party’s future in balance after series of resignations, as former co-leader calls coalition ‘stupidest government in Europe’

In her speech last Thursday, Wagenknecht had called chancellor Olaf Scholz’s left-leaning governing coalition “the stupidest government in Europe” because it imposed sanctions on Russia, which supplied over half of Germany’s gas needs before the start of the war in the spring.

“Yes, of course the war in Ukraine is a crime”, Wagenknecht said. “But how dumb is the idea that we can punish Putin by pushing millions of German families into poverty and destroy our economy while Gazprom makes record profits?” The speech was greeted with applause not only by the Linke leadership but also by delegates of the far-right Alternative für Deutschland (AfD).

Wagenknecht no longer holds any official positions in Die Linke, but was nominated to be its sole speaker in the recent parliamentary session on the national climate budget.

Id go a step further and state how stupid it was to make Germany reliant on Russian gas and oil in its quest for green power instead of following France and building nuclear.

I have seen some people wearing masks on the Lower North Shore, but not many. And none of them even look at people without them.

Bad juju maybe.

I was also surprised to hear that the NSE government was removing the obligation to wear masks on public transport. I have not seen anybody obliged to wear one, and often even the bus drivers are maskless.

I just put it down to there being a sad underclass that clings to the putrid things because they forget why they ever put them on and now cannot remember what conditions would let them take them off.

Twiggy has a disturbingly messianic side to him – thinks he can save the world. If he had Bill Gates’s money, he’d probably be more dangerous than Gates.

I have no problems with billionaires who want to spend their money on enormous yachts, fleets of jets and the various trappings of extreme wealth. Enjoy your success. However, once you cross that line of thinking you can use your vast wealth to shape humanity to your ends, well – I have no problem with you forfeiting that wealth in order to cut you down to size.

Post WWII if your looking for CO2.

Dunno, I’m really not that fussed.

There’s not much warming to be seen from the advent of the industrial revolution and most of that is a temperature rebound from the little ice age that petered out in the mid 1800’s.

You can’t say that because we really don’t know. One or two or three places may have kept records such as the UK, but that’s not the world and it’s actually laughable – in my opinion – that folks can make assertions about climate before reasonable global temp records were kept in a scientific way when we’re talking about tiny fucking wiggles from year to year.

Curiously a great chunk of the supposed anthropogenic temperature increase occurred in the early part of last century and then flattened out in the 1950’s – 80’s.

Who says and what were those accurate devices around the world? As I said Gez, there may be some scientific evidence for gerbiling such as Co2 acting as a anthro gas, and there may be a case to go to nuclear just in case, due to risk management. However, I would make a claim that our only half way decent records would be from 1970 onward and even those may be tampered with through lying and general dishonesty. Unless shit like that is audited, its use is basically a zero.

I reckon we have no freaking idea. However, I see both the naysayers and the gerbilers as exact twins. They both annoy the shit out of me because their arguments are basically bullshit. Again, to make anything from tiny, absolutely tiny, temp wiggles is a joke and we really don’t have any record going back in time that we can risk our living standards and economic well being on.

A One-Term President?

From Martin Armstrong –

“The debate continues on whether Joe Biden will run for re-election in 2024. Any sane citizen clearly would not encourage him to continue ruining America. The Democrats have even voiced concerns over Biden’s effectiveness as a two-term president due to his frequent blunders and low poll ratings. His age and declining mental health have made him a difficult puppet to handle.

In a “60 Minutes” interview, Biden himself admitted he might not seek that second term. Or, perhaps, his handlers have not decided. Biden said he is relying on “fate” and that it is “much too early” to decide whether he is confident in his own ability as president. If he and/or his handlers were confident that he could be re-elected, legally or otherwise, Biden would be confidently stating his desire to continue his job.

Biden told CBS. In March 2021, Biden was confident that he was beginning a four-year term and told reporters he would run for a second term. Times have changed! In fact, Joe Biden said that previous statements about running again were simply intention statements. “Look, my intention, as I said to begin with, is that I would run again. But it’s just an intention. But is it a firm decision that I run again? That remains to be seen,”

The entire interview aired like an ad for the Republicans. This happens every single time he strays from his script, and it is why he rarely makes media appearances in comparison to past presidents. Biden yet again misspoke and threatened war with a major power after saying that the US would defend Taiwan if China invaded. Yet again, the White House back-tracked on Biden’s comments – a difficult puppet indeed.”

I explained it four times. Asserting that the last 25 years has flat-lined without offering context in that the preceding 25 showed a drop and there was no recovery after that is 100% misleading.

Wrong. Once again you’ve failed to explain why 25 years isn’t a trend. The preceding years are irrelevant unless 25 years is too short to make a good case for a trend.
At least in your latest comment you’ve admitted that at some point there are enough years of a particular phenomenon for that phenomenon to be seen to be a trend even though that phenomenon has not existed for all eternity. Now all we’ve got to do is establish whether 25 years is enough in this case.

The statistical reason that makes Fester’s 25 year claim misleading is that it flat-lined at the lows without any recovery

What “lows”? You’re looking at 50 years of data which divides into 25 years of decline followed by 25 years of flatlining. What makes you assume that the decline couldn’t or shouldn’t have continued further than the first 25 years if BoN’s assertion is inaccurate? In the context of approximately 35 billion tonnes of snow cover, why is the few millions of tonnes change shown in the first 25 years of the chart indicative that some geophysical floor for snow cover has been reached? Why didn’t it keep declining? Remember, BoN wasn’t asserting that the last 25 years has been a time of change, he was asserting only that the last 25 years has seen stable snow cover which suggests that there isn’t drastic change going on.


I have and now it’s the 5 times. Merely saying I have not provided the “grounds” doesn’t make it any truer or persuasive as you have continually failed to show why that is the case.

Your previous comments were based on the unproven assumption that the last 25 years doesn’t reflect a climate phenomenon that wasn’t present previously. You didn’t get within a trillion light years of explaining why that need be so.

Depends on the steepness of the decline and one needs to make a judgement call, so yes, it could matter or not. We would need to read the numbers. In the real case, in Fester’s chart , it most certainly matters because the fall in the first 25 years was steep enough to appear material, yet Fester left that part out.

Firstly, on what grounds are you suggesting that a few million tonnes of change out of about 35 billion tonnes, over a period of 25 years, is “material”? Maybe it is but what are your geothermal grounds or grounds in thermodynamics or hydrology for asserting that it is? Please, please don’t tell me that you just looked at how big the lines looked on the page. Scale matters.
Secondly once again you’re committing the logical howler of assuming that things don’t change. By your analysis we’d have to assume that there was no change in climate conditions between the depth of the Younger Dryas and the Holocene Climate Optimum, because the shift in temperature was too quick. Just as an example, shifts in ocean phenomena like AMO and PDO tend to happen quite quickly – why do you assume that they, or changes to solar output, or anything else, can’t have caused a change in climate conditions somewhere around the turn of the century, thus making the last 25 years different to the previous 25 years?
And, note once again, the time asserted in climate science to be necessary to establish a trend is as short as 15 years, and even the IPCC on the defensive says 30 years – once the trend is prima facie established the onus is on the naysayers to prove it doesn’t exist. And incessantly repeating “there can’t be a trend now because there wasn’t one before” is just nonsensical.

I’m happy to tell you. As we really don’t have a great deal of seriously accurate and comprehensive data then most certainly every year counts especially if the beginning of AGW time is considered to correlate with the Industrial Revolution. So yea, 25 years more does count and it really counts when you have 50 years of info with snowfall declining in the next 25 years without any recovery.

I presume you mean “previous” not “next”.

But this is a serious logical error on your part. Once again you’re assuming that trends are irreversible. The temperature records for the 20th century are clear – warming from 1914-1940, then cooling till the mid 1970’s, then warming till about the end of the century, and possibly a slight upward trend since then but maybe flatlining – statistically within the bounds of error given the limitations of temperature measurement. The records give no reason at all to doubt that 25 years is enough – in fact they support it.
The idea that we need to judge a trend by reference to the whole “AGW” period, [?, are you suggesting that Watts’ steam engine caused the earth to emerge from the Little Ice Age?] or since the Industrial Revolution is just more argument by assertion. You need to demonstrate by scientific or statistical analysis why that would be appropriate rather than just assert it.
Remember again, this is about you positively asserting that 25 years is too short.

A man, when he died, wanted to be buried with all his money.

He decided to trust a third of his money to a Priest, a third to a doctor, and a third to his lawyer to bury it with him when he died.

After his death, at the man’s funeral, the priest whispered to his dead body and placed a bag in his coffin. The doctor then proceeded to whisper to the body and placed a bag in there as well. Then the lawyer went and dropped off a bag and moved on.

As they were carpooling back from the funeral the lawyer asked what the priest whispered. The priest, with tears in his eyes, said that he had to confess he spent some of the money on an orphanage so that some hungry kids would not starve and that he feels bad for what he had done, but that he had no choice.

The doctor then admits that he too had to let him know that one of his patients needed a surgery that he alone could not do, that he spent some of the money to save the person’s life.

The lawyer looks at them with scorn and says “How could you? You have betrayed a man’s last request!” The doctor and priest look at the lawyer and asks “So your bag had all the money he entrusted you with?” “Damn right” he replies “I wrote the cheque for the full amount, not a penny less!”

Am a member of a blue party here in Victoria. Our local electorate is Dan country. We at last have a chap brave enough to go up against the dictator.
HO finally approved someone. They encouraged this chap to have a go. Since they gave him the green light, it’s been crickets for him. In his words , it’s like they turn the switch to off. Rita P invited him onto her show. On the day of the show HO contacted him and said no. He apologised to Rita.
I caught up with him last night with a couple of others. I advised him to tell HO to get lost, call Rita back and go on the show. Seriously there has been so little support from HO and such poor polling, ….as well as shit policies, I’m about to quit. So if we are to get pushed out we may as well go out having a crack. The chap is a young bloke, full of life and mistakes. Who knows what he’s going to say but it should be interesting. I’m sure it will upset both sides of the house. Bring it on!

Wrong. Once again you’ve failed to explain why 25 years isn’t a trend. The preceding years are irrelevant unless 25 years is too short to make a good case for a trend.
At least in your latest comment you’ve admitted that at some point there are enough years of a particular phenomenon for that phenomenon to be seen to be a trend even though that phenomenon has not existed for all eternity. Now all we’ve got to do is establish whether 25 years is enough in this case.

I’m not wrong and you’ve completely misunderstood the point being made. You consider the proceeding 25 years to be worthy of calling it a trend but the entire 50 year record ,which would offer an clearer picture in terms of the time scale with respect to the AGW span? Naaaa, who cares.

I can’t go into this anymore and I hope people will make up their own minds about who’s offering the more persuasive view. A truncated 25 year period or an un-truncated 50 year span. People can make up their own mind as to which is clearer in figuring out the trend.

All along I have said the Public Health Acts need repealing, Berejiklian abused her executive privilege in making executive orders without Parliament sitting for months; and legislation ought to have sunset clauses, subject to a very prescriptive negative rights based constitution.

Furthermore we know Berejiklian made a political display to downplay a corruption hearing; COVID has been in the west since at least March 2019 and rules like social distancing were made up political stunts with little to no clinical or statistical evidence to back them up.

There is no way any sane, reasonable person could possibly compare me to Adolf Hitler.

Why all this banging on about those that got jabbed and those that didn’t?

I chose not to get jabbed for various reasons and as I was fully retired and fairly independent at the time (I still am), the mandates didn’t work on me. I did have pressure from some friends though to get jabbed but that was about it. Also, I live in Sydney and it I didn’t have to put up with Desperate Dan’s Stormtroopers firing rubber bullets at me when I was out and about exercising my Freedom of association.

Closed Borders and Lockdowns didn’t really impact me that much. Inconvenient, yes, but I went out walking just about every day, weather permitting.

I also have a very good Immune System so I did not see the need to get jabbed with what I considered to be an experimental gene therapy emergency approved (at the time) drug that looked to have had the most minimal of testing before being released. Also, I considered the ‘Virus’ to be no worse than a bad case of the ‘Flu’ and I had not had the Flu since 1974 when I was a young Man.

For me, there’s a lot, lot more to all of this, however, I made my own decision not to get jabbed and I stuck with it.

Also, as far as I know I never got the ‘Virus’ (never been tested). I did get a Common Cold in both Winters (2020 and 2021) and this Winter just gone, just like I nearly always do every Winter.

What good to your brother or anyone dead?

You really ought to avoid uncommon words – they make you look stupid. My decision based upon the needs of my brother as against my own is sophistry. And disgusting.

I feel like a circus clown has erupted in outrage. One difference though – one of circus clowns’ stock jokes is dozens of them clambering out of an absurdly little car. Whereas the Furniture Store has kind of the opposite problem, yeah?

Are you saying that 20% of people who had the shots are dead? Since that is 95% plus of people in Australia that would mean excess deaths (less those who died who were not already on a trajectory to die from other causes) would be 19% of the population.

It is precisely these sorts of transports of comedy that make you so laughable.

You made the anti-vaccine movement look ridiculous because you would not engage on any kind of rationality. You tell people near 20% of the people they know are dying and they don’t see it then they are quite reasonably write you off as a frantic loon, and everyone who voices any sort of concern about vaccines are automatically dumped into the same lunatic pit.

What a freakin’ hero.

You made it worse you spittle flecking self-frottering moron. Get it? You made the anti-vaccine position disreputable and more difficult.

I thought I had made myself clear the last time I engaged with you, but apparently that stout oaken club was too subtle to penetrate your thick skull. So let me be clearer still.

You are an idiot. An idiot with mental pretensions far above your competence, much less intellectual. I am talking ‘nose-bleed’ above. Your preposterous persona as the peoples hero is pantomime. You are a small man lookin for an arena wherein to be big. A stupid man lookin for an issue where he might be be influential – by discounting 95% of people, but more to the point by excluding 99.9% of the people you might meet. You desperately need to be a messiah, and need a nodding audience to create the illusion.

How ridiculous must you be to think the expression ‘Opposing tyranny’ has any natural place outside the histories of Tacitus or Suetonius – we have developed a more subtle way of expressing ourselves since dead Romans sucking up to the new regime. Not saying it has no meaning, but the formulaic expression is hopelessly cliched but you write in what I imagine must be earnest in the rhetorical slogans of the ancients whose affectations must be discounted to get to the truth.

And, finally, you have a dig at my decision regarding my brother. I must assume there is no one in you life that you would take a chance for. I will bet they are grateful for that. Your corrosive histrionics, made more shameful by your oratorical imposture, I bet people yo know do stuff like hide your shoes and rearrange the tablets in your medicine cabinet hoping that you will cut them off from your thoughts.

You don’t even have the lizard-brain smarts to know that winning people over might involve not calling them septic scum. How can anyone take you seriously after the few seconds you reveal yourself. You really have no idea what they have done, been through, or though. Because it doesn’t matter to you. They thought differently to you, and on that basis they are expected to be ashamed of themselves and seeking your absolution.

Go back to the Furniture Store – conspicuous for its inability to draw any new adherents on its own merit. We can write off the possibility that you might fade into obscurity with dignity, but on that fading sham of a site you might fade with less ignominy.

Because once it was mandated it put people in the position of surrendering their bodily autonomy or their immediate livelihoods. It divided most people into two groups: those on the out, and those on the inside.
Being on the out is horrible, almost as horrible as eventually, reluctantly surrendering after months of fucking bullying so as to keep a tenuous foothold on the inside position, even as the requirements to stay there were being increased.
This should never be allowed to occur again, but there are those of us who fear that the social credit score system they have almost all the components they need ready to drop into place, is now a certainty because the trial run received such little co-ordinated resistance.

Look Cronkite, the issue is this as I see it. There’s simply no limit to the potential demand humanity has for energy. Residual demand is stratospheric over time. The problem with those two is that theyemit at around 30% of regular coal for supercritical and around 50% for gas. ( A pal in the US owns about 30% of the gas plant he built and reckons gas emits about half of regular coal). It simply defers the problem of emissions, which is okay too. However, if you want to consider emissions as a risk management problem it’s better to make out way to cheap, scaled nuke asap.

“It is not about going green, it is about going without.”

Even if this is true (and I suspect it is for many or most of those heralding a new green dawn), they still haven’t thought this through. Choking off impugned energy sources that support our long term standard of living will have highly unpredictable effects. Europe is a cold winter’s month away from revolution. The people who engineered its predicament may believe they can control any unrest, that they’re administering necessary shock therapy, that their positions will ultimately be strengthened. I don’t think they’ve considered the very real possibility that they are playing with forces that can get completely out of hand in the right circumstances – a complete and sustained breakdown in law and order. They could end up paraded naked through the streets before being hurled to the mob.

No, this won’t happen, some might argue – look at how compliant the masses were in locking ourselves in our homes in submission to the Covid tyranny. It’s a fair point.

However, did the lights go out? Did Netflix cease transmission? Did we run out of food because there was none to be had? Did our home and water heaters stop working? No, there was no lack of material comfort during the lockdowns, as the energy kept flowing.

But what if it stops and doesn’t start up again for weeks or months? That’s what we’re facing this time around. People will not starve and freeze in their homes.

UK brewers are facing tenfold price increases for the CO2 they use to carbonate and package beers, the Financial Times reported on Friday, also citing supply disruptions that could threaten brewing ahead of the Christmas season.

According to the report, the market disruption follows a warning from US fertilizer group CF Industries last month that it would shut down a major UK ammonia plant that makes CO2 as a byproduct. The company said its decision was due to soaring natural gas prices, which have made production unviable.

“Brewers have been approached with little or no notice by their suppliers to accept huge surcharges for the continued supply of CO2, or issued with ‘force majeure’ letters to say ‘we can’t guarantee that your supply will continue,’” policy director at the British Beer and Pub Association (BBPA) Andy Tighe told the media outlet. “This risks an awful lot of production coming to a standstill just at the wrong time,” he warned.

The report also pointed out that gas suppliers have been struggling to source CO2 from international markets because of ammonia plant closures in Europe.

The energy price spikes and shortages have come as brewers prepare to increase production for Christmas. According to William Lees-Jones, managing director at JW Lees brewery in Middleton, Greater Manchester, the CO2 that had cost £250 a ton ($284) in June was priced last week at £2,800 a ton ($3,187).

Why all this banging on about those that got jabbed and those that didn’t?

..
Because once it was mandated it put people in the position of surrendering their bodily autonomy or their immediate livelihoods. It divided most people into two groups: those on the out, and those on the inside.
Being on the out is horrible, almost as horrible as eventually, reluctantly surrendering after months of fucking bullying so as to keep a tenuous foothold on the inside position, even as the requirements to stay there were being increased.
This should never be allowed to occur again, but there are those of us who fear that the social credit score system they have almost all the components they need ready to drop into place, is now a certainty because the trial run received such little co-ordinated resistance.

In which case, I will do exactly the same as I did before and totally ignore the Guv’ment Mandates.

Denver Tests The Basic Income On The Homeless

From Martin Armstrong –

“Governments love to conduct social experiments on the masses. What would happen if we gave the most financially vulnerable in our population cash every month? The Denver Basic Income Project just approved a new general basic income program for a select number of homeless people who will now receive $1,000 per month in cash. The money came from the American Rescue Plan Act at the cost of $2 million.

Cash, as in the government is actually not tracing these purposes for a reason. They are targeting around 140 people, meaning this is an experiment. Do they plan to address why these individuals became homeless? Will there be mental health or drug evaluations? Will people have access to information and tools such as learning how to budget or re-enter society? Throwing money at problems is never the solution. Are there any tools to help people re-enter the workforce?

At worst, they will expand this program and continue to reward people not to work. Once they begin to hand out free cash, people will continue to expect free cash. We saw it with the COVID unemployment benefits, where people chose to leave the workforce as it was more lucrative than participating in society. The University of Denver’s Center for Housing and Homelessness Research plans to study this experiment funded by you.”

What you’re espousing head prefect is the precautionary principle; it’s the last refuge of the alarmist because they have no evidence to support alarmism. The precautionary principle (PP) is based on Pascal’s wager. Pascal could not believe in Christianity and his scientific mind could not see any evidence for an afterlife. However, he lived in an era where disbelief could result in death. He therefore thought it better to pretend to believe to stop persecution while alive and also just in case there was an afterlife to pretend so it would help him go to heaven.

The PP is therefore what fraudsters do when they have no evidence: alarmists, say, even if we don’t have enough evidence it’s better to take precautions in case alarmism is real. This is not just theoretical. The PP is described in the Victorian Environmental Protection Act 1970, Section 1C. Again, in respect of alarmism, this section may be moot because while the Section speaks of “a lack of full scientific certainty” not being a bar to preventing environmental degradation, it is not clear scientific certainty for or against alarmism rises to the level that would confer standing. Alarmists now have that standing as the recent Whitehaven case showed when North Shore spoilt brats gained access to the courts to attack coal production.

Head prefect, there is no equality in this dispute, or exchange of ideas. There is a belief or ideology by alarmism which rejects evidence and reason.

Commandos face war crimes claims
Chloe Whelan
CHLOE WHELAN

New footage of Australian soldiers in Afghanistan has 2nd Commando Regiment in war crimes alelgations.

The footage, obtained by the ABC, shows Australian soldiers bragging about ‘hitting the quota’.

“We’ve got a quota of 10. The quota is 10,” one of the soldiers says in the tape aired on the 7.30 program on Tuesday night.

The footage ‘raised questions about their conduct’, the broadcaster said.

Commandos emerged largely unscathed from the Brereton inquiry into alleged war crimes.

Afghanistan veteran Glenn Kolomeitz called for an investigation into the new footage.

“I can’t say it’s expressly outside the rules of engagement without knowing the context in which it took place, but just on the footage alone, it warrants a second look,” Mr Kolomeitz told the ABC.

“It is disturbing, though I don’t for a moment believe they are talking about some sort of kill quota, not genuinely talking about that. These guys are joking around. They are about to go outside and do a very hard job.”

The Australian Defence Force maintains it does not use enemy casualty numbers as a measure of success.

Bullshit.

If you have a list of 14 terrorists, killing 10 in combat where there is no functional government is good as you only have four left to capture (or kill).

If you are fighting a non-asymmetric war, you care because all wars are wars of attrition b y virtue of being war at all.

If Ukraine took out 3,000 more Russian tanks and 60,000 Russian soldiers, they’d be on their way to winning or at least regaining all of their territory.

“We don’t measure the enemy dead”. The more I think about it, it is possible.

The RAAF refused to hit a target because it would make stunning and brave women of colour work a little harder to collect fresh water.

Which was sexist, because women can do everything.

Roy Morgan Poll Shows Huge Increase In Support For The Monarchy From Labour Voters Over The Last Decade

“A special Roy Morgan SMS Poll last week revealed support for the Monarchy amongst Australians has grown over the last decade with 60% (up 5% points since November 2012) now saying Australia should remain a Monarchy while only 40% (down 5% points) say Australia should become a Republic with an elected President.

A look at these results by voting intention reveals what may be a surprise to some – it is those who vote for the ALP who have driven this increase in support for the Monarchy from a decade ago.

Now a clear majority of ALP voters, 58% – up a stunning 18% points since November 2012, say that Australia should remain as a Monarchy – a far larger change than by either L-NP voters or Greens voters who appear far more set in their ways.

L-NP voters are staunch supporters of the Monarchy with over two-thirds, 68%, saying Australia should remain as a Monarchy, although this is down slightly, by 3% points, on November 2012.

At the other end of the spectrum it is Greens supporters who are clearly in support of a Republic with only a third, 34%, saying that Australia should remain as a Monarchy, up 4% points in a decade.

Supporters of Independents and Other Parties – an increasingly large share of the electorate, are also moving more firmly in favour of the Monarchy. Now nearly three-quarters of these voters (72%) say Australia should remain as a Monarchy, an increase of 15% points on November 2012.”

Look, I agree with you alarmists are applying the precautionary principle, but I think they’re abusing it for their own purposes. The precautionary principle has some uses – for example, another way of describing it would be , “cover you arse in case things go really wobbly”. Traders use a variation all the time.

It’s okay to be on the cautious side because we can’t populate another planet yet. It’s good to use the precautionary principle when the risk of ruin needs to be entertained, but not when you have optionality.

I’m not wrong and you’ve completely misunderstood the point being made. You consider the proceeding 25 years to be worthy of calling it a trend but the entire 50 year record ,which would offer an clearer picture in terms of the time scale with respect to the AGW span? Naaaa, who cares.

Why stop at 50? Why not a few thousand? Answer, you’re just bloviating because you’ve got 0.0000 [recurring to infinity] scientific or statistical grounds for dogmatically asserting that 25 years isn’t enough for a trend. It’s pure argument by assertion with 0.0000 factual or logical basis.
Your most glaring logical error is your fanatical insistence that things can’t change and therefore something that was happening in the past must still be happening. That’s why you ignore the obvious temperature cycle in the 20th century which fits in with exactly what BoN was saying, and is strong evidence for 25 years (or less) being plenty to establish a trend in climate.
You might as well say that the average temperature of winter needs to be measured over a 12 month period.
I’m not a fan of argument from authority but if vast numbers of climate scientists and authorities are saying 15, 17 or 30 years is enough, then to dogmatically denounce BoN’s point without showing why those estimates are wrong is just exhibiting the factual and logical poverty of your assertion.

PS, what’s the “AGW span”? Are you signed on to the dogma that human produced greenhouse gasses have caused all the warming since the Little Ice Age? If not, why are you asserting that a climate trend needs to be measured over that span? Wouldn’t that be a circular justification of the dogma rather than a proper investigation of it? Are you claiming that the climate influences must be identical over the whole of the “AGW span”? What’s your scientific basis for that? Somehow it hasn’t made it into your comments.

I can’t go into this anymore

Of course you can’t because every single thing you’ve said has been refuted and you’ve got nothing left but bluster.

But I can’t leave without once again highlighting this piece of prime idiocy:

The statistical reason that makes Fester’s 25 year claim misleading is that it flat-lined at the lows without any recovery

I’ve already dealt with the “lows” bullshit and you had no response.

But the denial of flatlining once again reveals your reasoning in a circle, argument by assertion and insistence that “it was happening in the past so it must be happening now”.

BoN was saying that the downward trend had stopped. He never claimed it had reversed. “The downward trend has stopped” and “the downward trend has reversed” aren’t synonyms.
When a parent tells you that their 20 year old son has stopped growing do you say “don’t be ridiculous, he’s the same height he was two years ago”?

Custard I believe Trump is very much back in the frame. Democrats are shit scared of him, hence the DOJ and FBI trying to get him, on orders of Biden.

You keep coming up with this ridiculous conspiracy that is frankly embarrassing for both you and the site. As for mentioning MSBC discussing it, who cares as that cable channel only traffics in fake bullshit.

How exactly is this going to happen? Explain the details of this assertion of yours exactly, or just STFU about it.

I recently made a prediction about the reinstatement of Donald J Trump.

You need to explain how that would actually work.
Because, to be frank, you are sounding a little bit Hannity …

JC is correct, if somewhat impolite.
There is no mechanism by which Donald Trump can become President before January 2025.

Except violent revolution.

No JC you go do the research. If you don’t understand it that’s your problem not mine.

It’s right in front of you. If you can’t see it. You are fast asleep.
