A quick clarification on the “Duelling Thread”.
Is it for all disagreements or just spleen venting?
Old Ozzie, I appreciate your posts, no matter how lengthy.
Thanks to you and certain other Cats, I can keep informed (or ignore) news from a wide variety of outlets which, if I subscibed to all, would cost a fortune.
I know Bear disagrees; he chided us for sharing an article from The Oz, suggesting that it should be sub only. I subscribed to The Oz for about 15 years. I bailed when they took a sharp left turn. Their home page recently had four stories about ‘influencers’, among their Lefty dross. I won’t be going back again.
Thanks to all who post from news sites for all of us to enjoy… or to rip apart.

All this stuff about diversifying is simply about weening off RUS energy so that they could be dealt with without endangering the Euro economies.
It’s naked national self-interest.
Sure, but maybe undersea gas pipelines are now fair game, whatever their origin. This recent act has added a whole new realm of tit-for-tat potential. And who loses? The ordinary folk of Europe who can freeze in the dark.
No doubt there are elements in US intelligence and SD that would like to “deal with” Russia, dover.
But they don’t even hold sway in their own country, as the mid-terms will show.
I collected a few amusing anecdotes from my limited sailing days. Once you get beyond Twilighting things can turn pear shaped very quickly, even just piss farting around on the Swan River. Our skipper was always much more skilled and serious than us crew which probably didn’t help.

Europeans deserve it. They voted for these woke fuckheads.
My gorgeous next-door neighbour is a beginner gardener. I asked her how it was going so far. She said “I can’t get my tomatoes to turn red like yours. Any advice?” I said “Every morning expose yourself to the tomatoes and you’ll see they’ll start blushing red”. After a week of watching her expose her beautiful body to the tomatoes, I went over and asked her. “Any luck with the tomatoes?” She said “Not yet, but the cucumbers are enormous”.
The Sir Francis’s (Drake and Chichester) laid some good groundwork for the Poms.
Tony Bullimore burnt them both.
Whatever these government turds say about time and cost, triple it and you might be close.
This crap will never happen.

Yes, sadly (no offence Bruce). It would be nice to spread the load, but only Qld’ers. I was wondering whether Palacechook will wager her Parliamentary superannuation on it. In other words, if it isn’t delivered by 2035 and/or it costs more than $62Bn, whether Palacechook will forego the balance of her superannuation as a mark of respect to other Queenslanders? She has committed us to this folly but wears no personal responsibility.
(sigh) I already know the answer.

Of course Min and partly because the fines are miniscule in the country. In the USA, Optus would be staring at $US100m fine. In the UK, fines can be up to $AU40m and if a global company, a further 4% of global turnover. Most of the EU have fines up to about $AU60m. Here in good ‘ol Oz, the current maximum (ie. like Optus incident) is $2.1m. Seriously.

The Taliban has signed a provisional deal for Russia to supply petrol, diesel, gas and wheat to Afghanistan, the group’s Acting Commerce and Industry Minister Haji Nooruddin Azizi says.
Mr Azizi said the deal would involve Russia supplying around 1 million tonnes of petrol, 1 million tonnes of diesel, 500,000 tonnes of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and 2 million tonnes of wheat annually. He declined to give details on pricing or payment methods, but said Russia had agreed to a discount to global markets on goods that would be delivered to Afghanistan by road and rail.

BOOM! Tucker Goes There – Suggests Joe Biden and US Behind Sabotage of Nord Stream Pipelines
I reckon it’s a 50:50 call between putie and slag-heap biden.
At the recent Samarkand SCO talkfest, the recently installed pro-American Pakistani Prime Minister was also calling for a Russian gas pipeline into Pakistan. Gazprom are reputedly selling less gas by volume but their earnings are up due to higher gas prices.
Regarding the alleged UK/USA/UKR involvement in the destruction of the gas pipelines, I wonder if all or any of the NATO and EU nations were told beforehand. If not, could this act result in a schism between Washington and Brussels?
The Talibs have plenty of surplus weapons and ammo!
And heroin, but that’s probably not what Russia wants.
Comment approved on the Oz – over a hundred “reactions”, seven replies – comment rejected…
Correct – he didn’t cause the crash, and had no duty of care to Vicpol.
Nord Stream 1 began construction in late 90s and went online in 2011. Nord Stream 2 began construction shortly after and was completed in 2022. BTW, given that Russia continues to have a space program, the claim about its technical capability is strange.
I agree, McConnell is worse for the US than Biden. If he was gone and somebody with sense and regard for Republican voters was in place he would raise hell at what is happening there. His silence is deafening and nothing less than treachery, Democrats have no better or more useful friend than McConnell.

Coal-fired power stations will operate in a backup capacity until pumped hydro energy storage is operational. A Queensland Energy System Advisory Board, to be established in 2025, is set to provide advice on energy security every two years to ensure the state is being provided with reliable energy.
“We will be able to turn the [coal-fired] stations back on if something goes wrong,” the premier said.
Once they are no longer needed to burn coal, the plan is for the stations to become “clean energy hubs”.
The hubs will be home to: grid scale batteries; gas and then later hydrogen power stations; maintenance hubs for nearby government-owned renewable wind and solar farms
“That means that these energy hubs will continue to contribute to regional economies,” the premier said.
The European Countries are led by Washington’s local puppets.

Thanks for this article. Much appreciated.
I used to admire Germany for rebuilding and getting on with it after WWII but they have become quite arrogant since the unification. The flaming environmentalism is being driven by them and while they are rich enough to indulge in it they are inflicting it on the rest of Europe and for that I will not forgive them.
They’ve had two changes of executive government since 2014 and two in the House. Neither made much difference and the antipathy probably began a decade or so earlier when Russia emerged from its post-Soviet funk.
Mitch McConnell never got aboard the Trump Train.
That turned out to be a savvy move after Trump crashed and burned, and so long as the Republicans avoid the Abortion tar baby, they’re back in the drivers seat in January.
I thought Annelise Nielsen, Sky’s reporter in the US, was the worst but Adam Crichton is not much either. It seems he reports from DC as truth whatever the Washington Post publishes, his insight doesn’t seem to differ a skerrick from the swamp. Why bother with a reporter in DC when a subscription to Washington Post would be much cheaper?

Of course the problem with your thesis Ed is that it isn’t actually the Trump Train. It’s the Tea Party Train, and Trump is just the engine driver. They’ve been looking for one for some time, and now they’ve got one.
The RINO establishment are fighting tooth and nail to keep control of the party apparatus, but they’re losing painfully because they’ve been screwing the base so long that there’s zero support from them now. Just like the Libs and Nats.

The issue isn’t to build the ‘battery’, it’s about pissing away tax money on useless projects. The whole idea is a Fabian Socialist bankruptcy of the national economy. The project can’t work, and won’t work, not in a viable economic sense.
Look at the desalinator plants, the batteries already built, the windmills and solar panels. Add to them the disability insurance scheme by the ranga and it becomes obvious.
Cripple the economy with white elephant projects and raise taxes to fund a parasite beaucratic monster, flood the country with a third world migrant class that will strip mine every possible scam going and you’ve got the makings of another shithole country.

There seems to be an expectation that Russia will turn the gas back on when the situation in the Ukraine stabilises, one way or another.
I doubt that Russia will turn it back on for at least a generation. Germany for example has taken Russia’s gas and oil facilities in Germany and imposed various sanctions etc. Why would Russia want to deal with them again, this expectation that everything will return to normal when the EU decides that they can play nicely with Russia again doesn’t take into account how Russia views the relationship.
Europe needs to face reality and start building coal and nuclear power generation facilities, these will take years to build so they need to start very soonish. Maybe China can help them out with a “belt and road” special deal.

Melonhead’s rant about consumerism falls on deaf ears with that lot. Q is a distilled form of atomised consumerism, productised into a political movement where its followers sit online all day and share memes, as if that is going to achieve anything.

Bolta:
Lidia Thorpe is not fit to be a member of parliament, in my view. Nor is Greens leader Adam Bandt while he keeps protecting the nastiest politician in Canberra.
Just imagine if any Liberal MP abused an elderly Aboriginal woman so viciously that she needed medical care from the parliamentary nurse.
I can hear Bandt already screaming: “Bully!” “Sexist!” “Raaaacist!” But not this time. This time it’s silence, and not just from the Greens, but the Greens-leaning ABC.
Once again, the Greens seem excused from the standards they set for everyone else, and are the barbarians in our parliament.
Exhibit A: Senator Lidia Thorpe.
Thorpe last year had a meeting in her office with two people identifying as Aboriginal – Geraldine Atkinson and Marcus Stewart, co-chairs of Victoria’s Aboriginal-only parliament.
It was a shambles. Atkinson, in her 70s, last year said Thorpe talked over her, and was so
nasty that Atkinson needed medical attention.
Bandt didn’t say boo back then. There was no public reprimand of Thorpe, and no apology.
But this week, we learnt one person did privately say sorry – Thorpe’s now-ex chief of the staff, David Mejia-Canales, who sent Atkinson an email.
“The conduct that I witnessed at that meeting was by far one of the most unprofessional displays I have ever seen, not just during the length of my career, but in my life,” he wrote. “I was scared and in shock.”
Again, imagine if that was written about a Liberal. Or me.
But the Left is tribal, so tends to put the side above the principle. They are hypocrites because it is in their nature.
Once again, Bandt has said nothing. He left it to a spokesman to issue flim-flam: “Following correspondence from the First People’s Assembly of Victoria, Mr Bandt spoke with Senator Lidia Thorpe about the June 2021 meeting”.
But we’re not told what Bandt said. It can’t have been much. Thorpe never said sorry.
This scandal now goes to the wider culture of the Greens and Adam Bandt’s failure of moral leadership.
The Greens are promoted by the media Left as the most moral party in politics.
In fact, it is secretive and has plenty of scandals of its own.
A former Greens leader in Victoria was accused of marginalising female staffers and referring to women in the workplace as “fat, hairy lesbians” and “hairy-legged feminists”. He settled that matter confidentially.
In 2018, 18 Greens volunteers laid an internal complaint against a veteran Greens candidate, accusing her of intimidation and bullying.
She denied it.
In NSW, Greens MP Jenny Leong used parliamentary privilege to accuse fellow Greens MP Jeremy Buckingham of an “act of sexual violence”. He denied that, and said an independent investigation found insufficient evidence.
But with Thorpe, her behaviour is not in the shadows and deniable. It’s in the open.
In May, Thorpe abused police at a violent protest, screaming: “You are the criminals. You are the criminals in this country.”
Last December, she hurled a disgusting slur in parliament at a female Liberal senator, telling her to shut her legs.
Also in December, she gloated when protesters, many Aboriginal, burned the doors of the Old Parliament House, tweeting: “Seems like the colonial system is burning down. Happy New Year everyone.”
Last month, Thorpe made a mockery of her official swearing of allegiance to the Queen, holding up a fist and falsely accusing the Queen of “colonising”.
Her inflammatory race-baiting includes telling the most outrageous untruths. She’s falsely accused prison warders of committing genocide of Aborigines in jail – of killing them – and falsely accused whites of burying Aboriginal children in sand and competing to kick “off their heads”.
On the day of mourning for the Queen to whom Thorpe had promised in parliament to “be faithful and bear true allegiance”, Thorpe instead wiped her hands, covered in fake blood, on an Australian flag and told a cheering mob “the Crown has blood on their hands”.
Thorpe is a poisonous influence in our parliament. She tells untruths, breaks her oaths, cheers on arson, abuses police, exploits racial divisions, trashes our national symbols and sovereign, and shatters an Aboriginal elder with an aggression that shocks her own staff.
I know, every political party has its misfits and its bullies. The difference with the Greens is that it refuses to criticise Thorpe, and instead rewards her by making her its spokesman for “justice”.
To repeat: Lidia Thorpe is not fit to be in our parliament. And while Adam Bandt protects her, nor is he.

If the pipe explosions were sabotage, as distinct from some weird Black Swan environmental incident, I think we can say with certainty that there are many nations capable of carrying this out.
Demolishing pipe is not as easy as you might think. I have seen some explosives damage to pipes and generally all that resulted was big dents. Pipelines by design are constructed from very flexible low carbon steel.
If you are going to successfully sever a pipeline, then you need to place two charges at opposite sides with an offset. The objective being to create a shearing action.
Very unlikely that it was anything but deliberate action.

Not to mention the QA on these undersea pipes would be unreal with nothing left for chance. PSV’s would have popped long before the pipe was in danger.

Custard, everyone knows Biden didn’t actually win the 2020 election, it was stolen for him. However, that doesn’t seem to have impeded his grip on power (or that of his handlers) in any way whatsoever. Most Republican politicians won’t even admit the coup happened, let alone try to reverse it. Trump may be the real President but that doesn’t change a thing in practical terms.

Three candidates for Vic election , Liberal ,Labor Teal at U3A similar policy re renewables and zero emissions so I read out Bowen’s prediction about number of turbines and solar panels needed to reach 43% lower emissions eg 200,000 solar panels by 2030 and asked how much will they cost and would we buy them from China Not one answer except stupid teal said no more mining as Sun and wind are free.

Finally reached our hotel in Edinburgh. Took the wrong exit out of Waverley, dragged bags up hill and down dale and lost the will to live.
Taxi! He took us past Greyfriars and a pub called Greyfriar’s Bobby at which I promptly burst into tears.
Fully recovered now. Might go there for a pint and pour a libation for the wee mutt.

This makes no sense at all and if it were the Russians it would be a spectacular own goal. From the Russian standpoint, popping NS 1&2, gives Germany and by extension the NATO big dogs, absolutely no incentive to reduce or stop support for the Ukraine, or call for reduction in sanctions, or to lift sanctions.
If Germany were to announce tomorrow “no more aid for Ukraine, and we will lift our sanctions, please Vlad turn the gas on”, with NS1&2 “popped” there is no chance they will get any gas from Russia to help them get through winter and restart their economy.
If it was the Ukraine, then the following the logic of the series tweets Dover posted, the US & UK, both of whom discouraged negotiations which would have prevented the war in the first place have their sticky fingers all over it.
You probably need to consider Germany’s likelihood of ‘surrendering’ to Russia like that. Despite its strange Greenish Government, Germans are very far from being complacent about Putin’s westward-ho.

Melissa Caddick’s former home is up for sale but don’t expect to have a sneak peek:
The home is listed for sale by Sotheby’s International Realty, and is expected to ask for a $10,000 refundable deposit to allow people just to view the home.
The stuff coming out of Germany for months has been how German industrialists have dragged their feet on divesting themselves from Russian gas supply, presumably because they don’t want the extra expense of alternative sources. Now their hand is forced, they have to fast-track plan B because their investment in Nordstream is looking like a write-off.
It’s a crime that could plausibly have been done by anyone, including two blokes in a tugboat. I hope it’s not the Archduke Ferdinand incident of our times.
