This must be your best post ever, JC.
Why is that? You think they’re going to try and put him in jail? Of course; they already doing up…
Speedbox, the European support for Ukraine is now irrelevant, with the pipelines out the gas will not be available for quite some time. I’m hoping that the people might actually work out that there are two other issues where their leaders have failed them. First, they shut down their own perfectly functional energy production and then second, they relied on a recent and possible future enemy to provide alternative energy sources.
OCO, what is even more amazing is that these people seem unaware that probably the most well known Soviet offensive at Stalingrad began in Nov ’42 and continued through the winter and was only relieved by the spring thaw. Also, the Soviet counteroffensive in Dec ’41 prevented any chance of capturing Moscow. Needless to say, every winter involved a major Soviet offensive.
Surely this should change some minds in the Liberal/National leadership.
You’re forgetting that they’re bloody mongs.

It was announced that the CPAC had astronomical live-streaming statistics with just ADH recording over 750,000 and Sky News having record stats, US stats yet to be reported.
Surely this should change some minds in the Liberal/National leadership.
Why would all those Liars/Slime “entryists” in sheep’s clothing be impressed by these numbers? They will only convince them to double down.
Dunno JC although this winter will focus European minds. The bombing of Nord 1 & 2 was an added complication which means the Germans (and others) can’t rescue a high volume of their winter gas requirements by reducing support to Ukraine. (which was the intent of the explosions)
There are so many elements in play. But we can be certain that pressure by European citizens will prompt those governments to act in forcing a negotiated peace. If their citizens become overly restive, those governments are not going to risk their very existence to appease Washington or Kiev.
The governments may respond by gently wind back their military support (offensive arms) thereby making it harder for Ukraine to defend and Russia may ramp up to 500,000 in-country soldiers……
Who knows. I can’t see a resolution this side of winter and the new year will bring only limited respite for European citizens and industry.

Basically, Labor hasn’t shown any of their cards yet, so why should Peter make the running for them?

I don’t know why the universities are agonising about the cheating methods of international student when they are so desperate to get them back after the COVID-19 lockdowns. It’s not as if we are getting the cream of the crop, the real intellectual ones are going to Oxford, Cambridge or the US Ivy League. The ones who come here are simply buying a permanent residency visa.

Re your soccer comment:
People have already commented about this before that “Wogs” are not amused by the welcome to country puppet shows. Particularly the ones born here don’t like being “welcomed” to their own country.
I take it these will not be votes for the voice.
I will be (cynically) amused if the Voice goes down because the previously sainted “multi-culties” vote against it en masse. It will be a classic case of the PC biters being bitten by their own bastard child.
Marvellous, thanks Albo.
.. and
Even Teena McQueen, Liberal Party Vice President, admitted at CPAC that the Teal electorates are gone forever, the the Liberal voters are elsewhere.
OhmiGod! faint stirrings of rationality in the Lieborals. What next? Actually developing some principles?
Well if Teena McQueen gets it. It’s a good start
Marvellous, thanks Albo.

There’s a game on TV.
Seems one team of Pacific Islanders is playing another team of the same.
It’s good of the locals to show up and watch.
And yet Labor is claiming they’re following national security advice.
Someone is lying.
Best guess?
They lost the Teal Electorates due to poor candidates [Kath Deves, Josh Frydenberg, Dave Sharma, Tim Wilson, Zimmerman], replacing Mick with Joyce [electoral poison] and a clever campaign aimed at women voters and funded by Washington.
Since Zelensky [among others] is also funded by Washington, things don’t look bright for Australia.
Anyone running the line that it was Biden’s fault that Putin invaded Ukraine is obviously dumb as a box of rocks. And no, the April ambit claim was never going to fly.
Putin has stated over and over that he has always wanted to lead the new Russian Empire. Believe him when he says it.
BA Santamaria accurately summed up the ALP decades ago- ‘this party of school teachers and left wing lawyers’.
Teena MacQueen sounds like a Labor Party plant.
Liberal just has to pick normal candidates, not wackos, wallies and ethnics.

As I understand it, Speedy, Zelensky can’t sign away Ukrainian territory without a national referendum.
Yes, I believe that is correct. So the new Donbass autonomous areas (and the Crimea) will sit in limbo for a while. Hard to know. Western Ukrainians have little affinity with those of the eastern side but whether that translates to agreement to carve up the country remains to be seen.
It will likely pose a challenge to the country’s security organisations, according to sources speaking on condition of anonymity because they are not authorised to comment publicly.
Everyone gets their privacy and anonymity quashed because the imbeciles in Canberra can’t make sensible border control decisions.
My car insurance renewal popped up in my email last week and I noticed that the car is now worth $3000 more than last year. I wonder what could have caused that? Could it have been the dearth of new cars due to the world shutting down for two years? I hear people now have to wait as long as 12 months for a new car.
Yes I know Fraser was advised against that action in 1976 and that suggests it may have really been a public service in those days.

Deacon Jones on getting the attention of assorted Teals & Liberal Party Vice Presidents:
[34 s.]
I’ve just returned from attending CPAC here in Sydney. The conference began yesterday morning, with a lovely dinner last night and there was another full day today. I’m exhausted. The last two days have been fantastic, interesting and stimulating, and it’s so good to be among like-minded people. What were the highlights? Well, everyone who spoke was fantastic, beginning with Jacinta Price (who received a standing ovation), the one and only Nigel, Fred Pawle talking to Johannes Leak about the late great Bill Leak, Tony Abbott (who received a standing ovation), Zion Lights, Michael Shellenberger (who’s superb), Matt Canavan (always superb), Zuby (a Youtuber), James Allan (very handsome, I think I have a crush on him), Ian Plimer and many more, all fabulous (especially Shellenberger’s brutal and accurate takedown of the renewables scam), but the following are worth mentioning……
Topher Field’s “Battleground Melbourne Live”. Topher and three other Victorians stood on the stage and talked about what they experienced in Melbourne through 2020 and 2021. Many in the audience had tears in their eyes, including myself.
Malcolm Roberts gave an excellent speech, and he began his speech with a fundamental truth. He said that over the last two days he’d heard many at CPAC describe both Jacinta Price and Katherine Deves as the “bravest women” in Australia. Roberts said that whilst both women were outstanding, they weren’t the bravest women in this Australia, no, as Roberts said, that honour of “bravest woman in Australia” belongs to Pauline Hanson. Roberts then repeated what Pauline had endured over the last twenty-five years, including her imprisonment as a result of a witch hunt orchestrated by the Liberal Party. He’s right, the bravest woman in Australia is Pauline Hanson.
The most interesting session was late this afternoon when four Liberal amigos, Nick Cater, Nick Minchin, Amanda Stoker and Tina McQueen, took to the stage to speak about the “Liberal Party” and it felt as though the audience was going to erupt in violence. You could feel the anger in the room, people were booing, yelling and hissing. I can guarantee you that if some in the audience had rotten tomatoes and eggs to throw at the amigos, they would have thrown them. Bernie Finn, expelled from the Victorian Liberal Party, walked out, you could see the pain on his face (I spoke to Bernie yesterday during afternoon tea) and he only returned when the session had ended. Nick Minchin ended up by raising his voice at the audience.
I should add that I spoke to many people over the last two days and not one person I spoke put the Liberal Party as their first preference on 21 May 2022. Says it all, doesn’t it?
Can’t wait for next year.
Oh and some real fascists did turn up yesterday, a motley group of about 100 or so. NSW Plod did a good job controlling the scum. There was a big police van and about twenty police patrolling out the front of the venue with a few police stationed inside. Apparently, the fascist scum did attempt to run through one of the doors, but they were stopped by NSW plod. I suppose they desperately wanted to “punch a Nazi”, but thankfully they didn’t get through. I don’t know whether any turned up today. So much for revolutionary spirit! Where’s their ticker? You’d think that if these very middle, class hard-left revolutionaries were truly committed to fighting and punching far-right Nazis at CPAC, then they’d turn up at the crack of dawn to harass attendees such as myself but no, instead they turned up after lunch! I suppose that’s revolutionary priorities in 2022, our privileged local revolutionaries clearly need to have a cosy brunch somewhere nice like Surry Hills or Newtown, sip on oat milk latte (almond milk is passe) and munch into a vegan pastry. Marx, Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Mao, Pol Pot and so on must be laughing in hell at these superficial bourgeois revolutionaries. I’ll say this about those evil tyrants, at least they were prepared to put in some hard yakka, our local Marxist revolutionaries, not so much.
Why bring ethnicity into it?

Remember the last time you tried this? IIRC, you claimed Putin said he wanted to recreate the USSR in many speeches, but you weren’t able to, y’know, actually find a quote of him saying that. You looked like an idiot then as well. I know it’s difficult to break a life-long habit, but maybe you ought to stop just making shit up and passing it off as fact because you think it sounds plausible?
“I must attend next year.”
Yes please Crossie. I’m sure there were some Cats there. I caught up with Rafe who was there.

For those who have not read Putin’s transcript from his speech today, September 30th, 2022; I highly recommend you do so. You simply cannot trust any media outlet to give you an accurate or sufficient summary. You must read it for yourself, in its entirety. Link is here.¹
Now that you’ve read the speech, I’m going to give my takeaways and address which passages stuck out to me.
Clandestine’s Newsletter is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.
Upgrade to paid
The overall message of the speech is, Russia have reclaimed land which belonged to them only a few short decades ago. Followed by an absolute lambasting of the US/NATO a declaration of war on “Western elites” (the Deep State) and the Liberal-Globalist ideology as a whole. Putin spent a significant majority of his speech highlighting the hypocrisy of Western society and the plague it has brought upon the world.
Now, you all know my field of expertise revolves around the biolabs in Ukraine. Interesting nugget from Putin thrown in this speech, his first public acknowledgement of “Bioweapons” and “human experimentation” in Ukraine and elsewhere. In the past he has allowed UN diplomats and the Ministries of Defense and Foreign affairs to address this situation, until today.
“They call the orders and threats they make to their vassals Euro-Atlantic solidarity, and the creation of biological weapons and the use of human test subjects, including in Ukraine, noble medical research.”
It might not seem like much, but what Putin just asserted would be the two most consequential international crimes known to man. Putin just public accused the West of infringing the International Biological Weapons Treaty, as well as the Nuremberg Code. In case anyone needs a reminder for what the punishment for those crimes are…
As for the rest of the speech, Putin makes a plethora of legitimate points. Many of which sound very similar Trump’s narratives and talking points.
“Such self-confidence is a direct product not only of the notorious concept of exceptionalism – although it never ceases to amaze – but also of the real ‘information hunger’ in the West. The truth has been drowned in an ocean of myths, illusions and fakes, using extremely aggressive propaganda, lying like Goebbels. The more unbelievable the lie, the quicker people will believe it – that is how they operate, according to this principle.”
Putin accurately describes the current landscape of Western media. The overwhelming majority of the public are “information hungry” because they are being deprived of the truth. Comparing the West’s censorship and propaganda to that of Nazi Germany (Goebbels).
“Western countries have been saying for centuries that they bring freedom and democracy to other nations. Nothing could be further from the truth. Instead of bringing democracy they suppressed and exploited, and instead of giving freedom they enslaved and oppressed. The unipolar world is inherently anti-democratic and unfree; it is false and hypocritical through and through.”
Here, Putin continues to address realities that the West ignore. The Liberal-Globalists preach “freedom and democracy”, yet they do not practice what they preach. In fact they do the opposite. The Western elites are engaged in lies and deception on a global scale. Using their power as a veil to hide their horrific crimes.
“That is why politicians in Europe have to convince their fellow citizens to eat less, take a shower less often and dress warmer at home. And those who start asking fair questions like “Why is that, in fact?” are immediately declared enemies, extremists and radicals. They point back at Russia and say: that is the source of all your troubles. More lies.”
This sounds very similar to Trump speaking at a rally. The Deep State simply blame their enemies, in this case Trump and Putin, for all of the problems that they themselves created.
The playbook is about worn out. Your liberal coworker might still believe it, but the collective world are not buying it anymore.
“Let’s answer some very simple questions for ourselves. Now I would like to return to what I said and want to address also all citizens of the country – not just the colleagues that are in the hall – but all citizens of Russia: do we want to have here, in our country, in Russia, ‘parent number one, parent number two and parent number three’ (they have completely lost it!) instead of mother and father? Do we want our schools to impose on our children, from their earliest days in school, perversions that lead to degradation and extinction? Do we want to drum into their heads the ideas that certain other genders exist along with women and men and to offer them gender reassignment surgery? Is that what we want for our country and our children? This is all unacceptable to us. We have a different future of our own.”
Sounds like a pretty reasonable and sane stance pertaining to family and children. Similar to Trump. Rejecting the preposterous and outright INSANE ideology pushed by the Liberal-Globalists. Putin doesn’t want the Russian children subject to the psychological perversion that exists here in the West. And I can assure you 90%+ of parents worldwide agree with Putin here.
“Don’t mutilate, psychologically manipulate, and/or dehumanize our children” seems like a pretty reasonable request. But the Left-wing media tells you that they are the sane ones, and Putin is the madman.
“Let me repeat that the dictatorship of the Western elites targets all societies, including the citizens of Western countries themselves. This is a challenge to all. This complete renunciation of what it means to be human, the overthrow of faith and traditional values, and the suppression of freedom are coming to resemble a “religion in reverse” – pure Satanism. Exposing false messiahs, Jesus Christ said in the Sermon on the Mount: “By their fruits ye shall know them.” These poisonous fruits are already obvious to people, and not only in our country but also in all countries, including many people in the West itself.”
This passage might be the most intriguing of all. Putin addresses that the victims of the Western elites include their own citizens. Highlighting that the Deep State have an agenda to dehumanize every society and dismantle all traditional values. Calling the Western elites “pure Satanism”.
Here I believe Putin is speaking to us Western citizens. Letting us know that he knows Russia’s quarrels are not with the US/West’s People, but with the elite few who run this global crime syndicate.
Does this sound like a deranged, warmongering madman to you?
Now if you read any media outlet, they won’t include anything about the “bioweapons” passage. Some of them are touching on the Satanism, with hopes that it makes Putin appear crazy, to better fuel their narrative. The Western citizens are being fed select lines from the speech in an attempt to paint Putin in a bad light and to deter people from reading the full transcript. Otherwise people might read it for themselves and come got the conclusion that Putin is not a madman and is mankind a seriously convincing and sane argument.
Sounds EXACTLY like Trump.
In conclusion, this speech tells me Trump and Putin are on the same wavelength. And we cannot ignore that much of Putin’s speech revolved around many Q-related narratives, to include: Satanism, the “Western Elite” (Deep State), Western propaganda and Orwellian dystopia, perversion of the young, and dehumanization of all traditional values and society.
The foundation of this speech sounds similar to the main talking points at a Trump rally.
We also must take careful note of Putin and Trump never directing any hostility or negative words towards each other. All throughout this process, both Putin and Trump have remained consistent that the Deep State are to blame. Never once speaking poorly of one another.
As for where this road leads, I believe we are in a controlled psychological military operation, and both Trump and Putin are in on it. The world will be pushed to what appears to be the brink of nuclear destruction, a Cuban Missile Crisis-like event will occur, we will come out unscathed, and Trump and Putin will resolve the issue in some capacity, which will result in global support and thus a global denouncing of the Deep State/Western Elite, followed by the appropriate punishment for those responsible.
The other option is that this is not a controlled op, and we are actually on the brink of nuclear destruction, in which case we are screwed anyways.
As for HOW this unfolds? I cannot tell you. Just know that things are only going to get crazier. But the crazier shit gets, the closer we get to the finish line.

Cassie, just as well they weren’t as committed to the struggle as their predecessors.
As for attending next year, I will first have to rope in one of my sisters to accompany me. Before my husband died we attended everything together and enjoyed it immensely, I am not as comfortable on my own. My daughters are sympathetic but too busy with their families.
The thing is that I used to go to work functions and conferences on my own without a second thought but now I hesitate. Grief is a funny thing. Will I ever be able to blithely cruise again? One thing I do know is that it’s going to cost me double.

Anyone in NY, or anywhere else for that matter, who rushes off to get their polio “vaccine” hasn’t learned a single thing from the last 2+ years.
Nick Minchin does have stellar conservative credentials. When in politics, he was always a dry conservative. He was part of the anti-republic movement back in 1998 and 1999. Also, it was Minchin who, in 2010, called the spill which ousted Turdbull and installed Abbott.
Separated at birth. No question who is on the ALPBC’s speed dial. Minchin always struck me as impressive when he did the election night stuff.
This current farce of a debacle is why I no longer follow the eggball codes.

DoverBeach:
As you say, the German Offensive (Operation Taifun) in October 1941 which was meant to be the knockout blow to capture Moscow, commenced after the weather dropped and Germany was able to bring up supplies and troops after the autumn rains had stalled their advance.
What it did achieve was the troops were left in exposed and unsupported positions whereas had they stopped and dug in along the October line, they could have wintered in place and not suffered the near catastrophic weather related casualties.
Mind you, GROFAZ (The Greatest War Leader Of All Time) saw things differently. 🙂

They hadn’t even started talking and you could feel the shift in the mood of the room. It was palpable. And then the four amigos started talking, and they were doing what the Liberals do so well, they were just skating around the issues of why they lost in May and when Minchin spoke….that’s when the room erupted, like Vesuvius. People in the audience started shouting, yelling, booing and hissing.
And it was on Paul Murray tonight, they showed the audience erupting! LOL Even I started booing…and I’m very polite.
When I left, after Alan Jones spoke, I ran into Nick Cater outside. Nick is a nice guy. However he looked a bit shell-shocked and I asked him if he was okay and he said yes but that he was rather taken aback about what ensued. I said…”Nick, people are very angry at the Liberal Party…and they’re right to be angry”.

“I emailed their election analysis. Two things, I said, stand out for the loss:

Yep.
The fact that Nick Cater was seemingly surprised shows that the SFLs really do want to be the party of those “teal” seats.
Amanda Stoker lost her Seat because she’s a lightweight and Teena McQueen reckons the Teal Seats are lost forever
Nick Minchin got Tony [the successor to Rudd] Abbott into the leadership and Nick Cater is a Labor bloke.
No wonder the audience went ballistic.
He suggested the robot business will be bigger than cars.
I reckon cars are a side issue to Musk. His real business is robotics and space. Robotics could be enormous.

“Amanda Stoker lost her Seat because she’s a lightweight and Teena McQueen reckons the Teal Seats are lost forever”
What “seat” Dick Ed? Stoker never had a “seat”, she was a QLD senator who was relegated to third spot. As for McQueen, someone I’m not that fond of, she’s right about the Teal seats.
Whilst the Liberals might win a few back, the issue here is that the Liberals should never rely on wining these “teal” seats to win government.

DoverBeach is betting on a Soviet winter offensive while Putin is telling his draftees to bring their own sleeping bags. Napoleon’s and Hitler’s offensives failed because of failed and extended supply lines. Now applies more to Russia than to Ukraine.

Stoker never had a “seat”, she was a QLD senator who was relegated to third spot.
The LNP had 3 QLD Senate seats.
Stoker was the junior Senator and she lost her seat.
She was an unknown from Sydney and a Wokester, so whoever picked her for the vacancy to replace Brandis deserves a boot up the arse.
Pity both teams couldn’t loose.
Thankfully after tomorrow’s reporting it’s over for another year.
Where did he say this, m0nts? Still waiting.
You know, there’s this website – en.kremlin.ru – it’s kind of authoritative when it comes to Putin’s speeches and stuff like that. It has a whole bunch of his speeches there, translated into English and everything! You could go there and actually get the text of what he’s been saying about this, that and the other. There’s no doubt plenty you could criticise. And then you wouldn’t have to attribute to him some old shit your stupid arse just made up; you could run with *what he actually said*! I know, it’s a novel idea. Why don’t you try it.
Diogenes, you are forgetting that with the summer months around the corner, we have the prancing prima donnas ready to grace stadia around the country. Australian cricketers.
I want to care, but I just can’t warm to it after the sandpaper shit in Safferland.
But that is not reported on with the same saturation.
… these Australians….. Wrong.They are not Australians.
.. arbitrarily detained… Wrong. They are detained for a reason, not randomly.
.. return… long overdue… Wrong. No, no & no.
But that is not reported on with the same saturation.
T20 World Cup here so expect such saturation that will make Tim Flannery blush
Those figures are decades old, when Gorbachev was doing ads for Pizza Hut. They’re improved since markedly.
Interesting, what’s the source of this claim?
Napoleon’s and Hitler’s offensives failed because of failed and extended supply lines. Now applies more to Russia than to Ukraine.
I suggest you look at a map of the region.
No problem, you sleazy putinist shill

When the “Bush War” was raging in Africa, the Rhodesian Army had an undercover recruiting office in Adelaide. The Australian authorities had no difficulty with threatening prospective recruits with being stripped of their citizenship and made “stateless persons.” Why are these people any different?
One year’s service in glorious Russian special military operation, and you could get Russian citizenship, where you would doubtless be happier than in satanist tranny west. Why don’t you join up?

Liz Truss advised King Charles to stay away from COP27 climate summit
I hoped she grabbed him by his royal cods while she said that; just to press the point in a way the inbred tard would understand.
No problem, you sleazy putinist shill
Charming, erudite and eloquent answer.
I said look at a MAP. On average the distance into Ukraine to the furthest Russian advance is shorter than the average distance from Ukraine controlled territory to the Uke front line.
As for your vid, if you don’t realise by now that armies are armed gangs blundering around the countryside, under equipped and mere playthings of governments, there’s no hope for you.
Was it you saying there were suspected shenanigans with firearm licence renewals in Victoria?
Do you think it’s just a SNAFU type stuff-up or something more sinister?
I mean, are there signs they are targeting certain people?
This is the update:
LRD reckon that they sent renewal documentation and then three reminder letters. I received none of them, I only received the license cancellation letter. Seems kind of odd that of all the ones supposedly sent, I only get the last one.
For the two previous renewals, I realised I hadn’t received the documentation and chased them. After they resent them I received them.
My feel is that they have a glitch in their system. Will generate for cancellation and if someone pushes for resend, but doesn’t work reliably otherwise.
Frankly none of this is surprising. They’re in the business of trying to maintain vast amounts of useless and inevitably inaccurate data.
They are also apparently snowed under. I think a combination of COVID work from home backlog. Plus a lot of people realising they need guns and ammo, before Dickhead Dan suspended gun and ammo sales, there seemed to be a lot of newbie’s in the gun shops.
The issue of course could simply be Australia Post, which as we know is also useless. The issue could also be the assisted living joint at the end of the street, we have a good history of parcels and letters being stolen. In that case incredibly unlucky that the managed to nail almost all letters from LRD.
In a case such as this, LRD says they will lodge a formal investigation request with Australia Post. Although LRD already knows that they’re fundamentally unreliable as they strongly recommend returns by registered post or email.
As I am overseas the electronic means of completing the extension application is unavailable as you can only access with an Australian ISP.
This can therefore only be fixed by a manual re-application for a license which means I need to get a firearm dealer mate to go to my joint, gain access to the safes, pick them up and write them into as dealer returns. This little exercise will cost just short of $1k because I will pay him for time and petrol and I had to buy a shitload of rifle bags.
All this needs to be done within the next 5 days.
Oh, and the costs assume that I don’t need to get a locksmith involved which is not a certainty at this stage.

Henry Rainger’s opinion:
Trouble is, many box tickers can’t handle the truth.
They desperatly want to believe that Aboriginal people resisted colonisation and fought wars to prevent it.
They did not.
Most voluntarily ‘came in’ (to live near or with White people) because they saw how much easier we lived.
Not having to go out hunting every single day, rain hail or shine, and often returning empty-handed and leaving it all to the women to provide a meal after they had spent many hours digging for roots and grubs and/or collecting seeds from grasses to mash into a damper to cook.
As (Left) anthropologist, W E H Stanner, wrote from his experiences with Aboriginal people from the 1930’s onwards;
“Eventually, for every Aboriginal who, so to speak, had Europeans thrust upon him, at least one other had sought them out.
More would have gone to European centres sooner had it not been that their way was often barred by hostile Aborigines.
As late as the early 1930’s I was able to see for myself the battles between the encroaching myalls and weakening, now sedentary groups who had monopolised European sources of supply and work.
Nowhere, as far as I am aware, does one encounter Aborigines who want to return to the bush, even if their new circumstances are very miserable.
They went because they wanted to, and they stay because they want to.
The pathetic fallacy has much corrupted our understanding of this process. Our thinking is far too affected by the cases where violent secondary causes – gross neglect, epidemic disease, extreme malnutrition, punitive expeditions, and the like – in some mixture, wiped out whole peoples or left wretched groups of survivors.
So strong are these paradigms of sentiment that we project them onto large surviving groups of Aborigines not now meeting these extremes.
We fail to grasp the zest for life which animates them because we did not see it in those who died so miserably.”

Noel Pearson said, “Stanners essays still hold their own amongst this countries finest writings on matters black and white.:
Henry Reynolds said, “He always had important things to say, which have not lost their relevance. It is wonderful that they will now be available to a new and larger audience.”
Thank you Eyrie. I’m not sure whether your comment is positive or negative, but I do agree. Yes, when undersupplied, armies are armed gangs. Russia is trying to supply its army with an economy the size of Italy’s. The US, UK and EU can supply Ukraine with ten times the resources without breaking a sweat.

Crossie – that “business report” carnival barker on Sky was squawking 10 million this morning.
Thank goodness I’m not among them.
I’m watching Chris Smith ridiculing Monique Ryan’s ‘put a mask on’ instruction. It’s quite simple really, if she were a good doctor she would still be practicing but she is a hypocrite so she is now in her real profession, politics.
Stupid daylight saving. It’s only 2200 here.
Rabz, sadly I am. I got an email from Optus that my driver’s licence info has been hacked so now I have to get another one.
What’s going on with Credit Suisse?
Western Australia has rejected daylight saving at referendum four times. The latest among the millennials is that there should be another referendum so THEY can have THEIR say. Fvck off, your elders and betters have made the decision.
I was expounding this at 9:00am, oh sorry, 10:00am this morning.
Joh Jelke-Product was right. St Ruth’s cows will be mooing outside the windows even earlier and the damage to the drapes will be irreparable. 😕
I have had the same driver’s licence info for decades and now, because of some diversity Optus hire, I have to get a new driver’s licence altogether. I really resent that.
I can’t believe the government is going after Optus in the worst possible way. Oh yes I can as it’s the Liars after all.
Optus is the party injured by a criminal act. Blaming Optus is like blaming someone for being an injured party to a specific crime.
Rabz, I always found the fading curtains reason very laughable but apparently it was/is a thing among some demographics. Now if they went with the biological clock argument they would have my vote. I hate the switches both in April and in October.
JC, blaming Optus is fine simply because they did not take proper, or any, security measures. There are even more users at Telstra so why didn’t it happen to them? My guess would be because they have better security measures.
The investment banking side is donesky by the looks of things. I really don’t get it though. It’s not as though they’ve taken a huge whack orthat a large portion of their assets are criticized. Over the last couple of years they’re suffered from a constant stream of reputationally damaging losses but not big ones.. That big-eared inbred looking Queensland farmer dickhead who thought he invented the wheel is one example. They will need to be restructured and recapped. The Swiss National bank won’t let them go because a decent portion of the Swiss economy is banking related services. Stop worrying, Dover. Your billions are safe in Zurich. 🙂
Crossie
Every single computer system in the world that isn’t closed to the outside world is “hackable”. How do we know Optus was negligent?
Robotics could be enormous
Robotics is already enormous.
I can’t really see a massive second wave of productivity from robots that can walk and which have approximately human dimensions.
The robot heavy lifting is already being done by robots that are bolted to the floor and which can bench press a ton.
We can’t say that until we know. Optus was the victimized party. They weren’t the crooks.
Crossie – the switch in April is a hell of a lot easier than the one in Schlocktober.
Although at the risk of sounding like a philistine, I love daylight saving. Being able to get home from work in bright light is always a joy. Getting home from work in winter in the pitch black is always a downer – and yes, I’m aware of the fact that because of the seasons there’s only a certain amount of light to go around.
Anyway, here’s some Marvin – enjoy, Cats! 🙂
you twerking eunuch
Terribly accurate. Terrible imagery.
West Aussies dont need daylite savin’ cos Asia sets there clocks to Perth time. Stupid daylite saving…
Rickw
Nearly all physical toil done by humans now will be done eventually by robots. And yes, there’s even more that those bolted to the floor can do. It’s not over.
Well, could they hurry up and start doing it, please – bloody chores.
OK, one might be able to derive a certain sort of banal satisfaction from gardening, for example, but seriously – ironing?
Anyway, here’s some Miss Planet, while you’re contemplating these profound concepts, Cats.
I said most. Lot’s of shirts/clothes these days are wrinkle free anyway.
Whoops
I said “nearly all” which is kind of “most”.
I wonder if AI can make a ‘perfect’ cup of coffee , cos Perth has the highest priced , shittiest coffee in Australia.
That “business report” carnival barker on Sky featured not one but two Shloptus Diversity Hires on his weekly schreechfest about two months ago(?).
The second hire being one Beryl Gladyschlocklian, proving that it isn’t just big fat utterly useless hideously uglee massive coronaries waiting to happen mansplainers that are capable of failing upwards.
At our expense, of course (again). 😕
rickw at 11:11.
Thanks for that.
So leaning towards cock-up rather than conspiracy?
I will make sure I document and trace my renewal and get in early.
I don’t want to get on their radar.
Okay, and how does that explain Optus wasn’t the victim of a major crime?
JC – Shane only ever presents “ironing free” materials when I’m in for a new shirt pattern.
Looks like a piker’s website. Try this one. They have great shirts.
Quite a few of the staff turned up an hour early for breakfast this morning. Heh heh heh!
Get’s ’em every time, especially those who rely on their phone to tell the time, or those who’re from countries that change their clocks a coupla times a year & assume everybody does it.
Brokeback Mountain time is a feature of the deep south only. It is only one quarter of the country that opts in to this… curtain saving feature.

PS rickw.
We had similar Australia Post issues here for a while.
I swear to God, I think the postie was either dyslexic and/or was just looking at surnames and delivering the mail to where he thought they might live.
Lasted for about six months. We had two things delivered to us which the postie had delivered elsewhere (who knows if other stuff went totally missing) and had three wrong deliveries in our mailbox.
Dover.
Can we have a dedicated menswear thread?
Flood damaged vehicles from
Florida rolling into auctions. Of course a salt water swim vehicle in Australia is a Statutory Write Off. Well you know, because someone might break a fingernail or stub a toe:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_c4LbhHv0g
Likewise.
We’d get about 20 items of mail per year that are clearly for another address. About half a dozen of these are parcels.
Annually about six spare parts (or similar) never arrive & are “known unto God”.
I always wonder if they’re wrongly delivered & either thrown out or kept by whoever received them.
Every blue moon a parcel comes from the Post Office clearly marked by someone else in town with something like “How about you try the address on the label”
That is what I don’t get.
Hail damaged vehicles can be bought but are uninsurable.
Why can’t they be insured with further hail damage or minor panel damage as an exclusion?
The flog quoted here is the Mayor of Brisbane:
This tool doesn’t realise he’s right on the border with NSW & anyone wanting to “experience” daylight saving can slip over to Tweed Heads to absorb some Daylight Saving goodyness.
Be aware: Daylight Saving means you lose one hour of surfing time in the morning.
Just one for cardigans would be fine. Bow tie discussions on weekends only.
Rabz, I find ironing rather soothing and can do it while watching TV. It’s so mechanical and doesn’t entail any intellectual effort. I even volunteer to do my daughter’s ironing.
Paradise, a Shangri-La, as it was before collectivists blundered in and destroyed it all. 😕
We had two things delivered to us which the postie had delivered elsewhere (who knows if other stuff went totally missing) and had three wrong deliveries in our mailbox.
There’s a street of the same name in the adjacent suburb, geographically we’re quite close, we send back their mail with the suburb underlined, never get anything going the other way. Fuck knows, it’s Australia Post.
The only upside to this is that the cops didn’t turn up at the home, charge me in absentia with unlicensed firearm possession, and then confiscate the lot using a 9” angle grinder.
All because some fucking Mong at LRD or AP can’t do they’re job. As I said when I first posted on this, Australia is a bureaucratic hellscape.
My mate with the retaining wall issue has gone very quiet. My guess is that the fucking council Mongs have actually managed to slug him with $200k worth of retaining wall remediation, despite having approved the plans for the house that the retaining walls support. Bureaucratic hellscape.

(They do mail order, I just get them to go off my last measurement, Victor has an incredible memory, I walk into the shop after not having been there for 2 years and with a slight delay says “Hi Rick”)
And yes, they have made suits for the Bushes and Obama. Not sure about Trump.
LOL, Rick.

The whole thing’s a mess, as a bit of fun I was fixing repairable write off BMW’s, it just kept getting harder and harder, from Lebs getting in your face at auctions, to the need for forensic detail and recording on the repairs completed. Gave up in the end.
LOL, Rick.
I think my tailors more deep state than yours! 😉

I’m lucky enough to be able to buy suits off the peg… so far. Every gent from every walk of life needs three suits- black, blue and Glen Urquhart grey- and a day kilt set if Scots at all.
Calli- donia-
if you’re rained in, it’s worth ducking into a “thrift shop” just in case there’s a kilt in your tartan to be had for a tenner.
Windsor knot until 7:00 pm (6:00 pm in Queensssland), bow-tie after that, and cravats on the weekend.
The cardigan is a much maligned piece of clothing. Luckily I’m old enough not to care what other people think.
It is expensive. I’m not convinced it is any worse than the rest of Australia. It is rare that you get a truly undrinkable cup of coffee any more. Much the same with wine IMO. Couldn’t say the same in the late 70s.
I would settle for life imprisonment but it’s beyond outrageous. My assessment is that they have all been promoted and with one or two exceptions, re-elected.

Thanks Tom need some laughter at the moment, cladding rectification starts today . Followed by the fixing of all the building faults . They have conned all the oldies here with fear mongering , intimidation and black mail. And an opened ended tender signed as they cannot estimate how much building faults will cost . We have a six million Bill for cladding .alone.
.
Thanks Tom. I can’t say there’s much to laugh at here, or in the world generally. But there’s a certain amount of sanity in some of the perspectives: Steve Kelley does it for me.
Equifax data hack – 143 million users in the US.
Google who they bought in Australia.
Your data aint that safe.
Joy Reid has a lot of form when it comes to deranged statements about conservatives. Tucker Carlson calls her “the race lady” and true to form she’s at it again, trying to smear the second most popular conservative in the USA, De Santis.
Joy says when he talks about looters and the second amendment he’s saying all looters are black. Did he say “if you ain’t lootin’ you ain’t black”? Did Joy go all out on Joe Biden for saying something similar about black voters?
She could plead insanity and it would be credible. But otherwise she qualifies on the basis of a long record of statements, as evil.

What does Daylight Saving achieve except staying sunnier during the home commute or giving more time for gardening in the evening – or ironing without having to turn on a light?
It’s pretty useless actually.
Then who wants those credentials?
I remember him defending a lack of tax cuts because “tax cuts will cause inflation”.
Imbecile.
If you think the USA will be rescued by the outcome of the half term elections in a few weeks, you are an incurable optimist.
Hope for the best, but accept that the forces working towards a bad outcome have damaged that place badly, and will continue to disintegrate it.
Yes.
