Makes sense Despite claims made by the German press, Taleb Al Abdulmohsen is not an ex-Muslim atheist, nor is he…
New nickname for Albo?
The interesting thing about the attack is that the Regime is using the counter-jihad links to smear AfD. That’s not…
If I may feculate on the boxhead murderer. He was facing charges back home. He needed asylum claim accepted to…
Medics!
No
No
Absolutely
Again no I did not.
The state is keeping something very precious to my wife and I and we are fighting for her, so chill.
Michael Smith News.
More inbred than a Tasmanian family reunion.
One of the comments under this piece.
Hard to argue with.
The classic was Gillard. Turfed by Slugs & Grubs, tossed a lifeline by Mother Russia and then bobs up in Canberra in a safe seat.
“It seems that Simon Birmingham was unhappy with what Tina McQueen, a Lib vice president, said at CPAC over the weekend. On a panel about rebuilding the party, McQueen said that those “moderates” who were turfed out by their electorates in May – was something she said had been working for for years. To that, Birmingham thinks that she should consider her position as a VP of the Libs.
How amazing is that! Out of South Australia – which historically has been one of the most “top heavy” in moderates – and the place where one of his confreres – Christopher Pyne – when in parliament, identified for GetUp which of that state’s Libs were the conservatives to go after.”
Indeed BBS. Despite the fact that I find McQueen a bit of a lightweight, I’ll take her any day over the likes of Birmingham, Archer, Fletcher and Leeser.
Oh and unbelievable chutzpah from Birmingham, complaining about what McQueen said on Sunday afternoon at CPAC, yet this is the same hypocrite who joined in the verbal lynching of Katherine Deves during the election campaign. Birmingham merrily joined in along with other so called faux Liberals such as Kean, Sharma and Zimmerman to call for Deves to be disendorsed. It appears that Birmingham can dish it out but he can’t take it.
Birmingham clearly doesn’t believe in free speech, quite odd from a so called “Liberal” because I’m pretty sure that free speech is one of the tenets found in Menzies “The Forgotten People” speech of 1942.
Birmingham is a fucking hypocrite and I’m fucking sick and tired of faux Liberals.

Why not start with those who succumbed, but still wear the cloak of The Resistance, flinging shit at others who got the jab, but their motivations are not adjudged worthy enough.
Anyway, FWIW, the West Australian Wheatbelt is headed for quite a decent year, notwithstanding the increased prices of fertilizer and chemicals.
There is a fertilizer plant being built on the Burrup – the local indigenous are complaining it will destroy their cavepaintings and songlines…..F.F.S, the rest of Australia is moving well into the Twentyfirst century …

That Daniel Andrews’ kids attend Catholic schools is an admission that they are superior to his government schools.
It would be interesting to discover what proportion of Liars and Slime politicians at both state and federal levels send their kids to non-government schools. I suspect it would be an embarrassingly high number.
“The ex-Labor staffer by Brittany’s side.
Thursday, 06 October 2022
Something you won’t find in the media reports of the Brittany Higgins rape trial is mention of this lady along side her.
The lady in blue is PR and political messaging advisor Emma Webster, a former Kevin Rudd staffer and these days a big bucks Hawker Britton Labor-aligned spin artist.
She also spent time working for Chairman Dan in Victoria.”
So Tom was right in his earlier comment and it also relates to what I wrote above, Higgins has been used as a political pawn by the likes of her partner, Wilkinson, Maiden and others.
Which grave of the vaxxed would you dance on Eyrie?
Mater’s?
Matrix?
Farmer Gez?
Do tell.

Yes, Cassie, “Birmo” is one of the real “heavy weights” in Liberal Party values. /sarc
Daniel Andrews was educated at the Marist Brothers’ Galen Catholic College.
It’s Marter, if you don’t mind!
That’s better!
Fits like a
glovesock.Sorry.
Auto correct.
But the point remains.
Fuckwits like St Ruth and now Biggles of Toyland are pretty free with their condemnation of the vaxxed.
Or at least some vaxxed.
It was a numbers game.
Every vaxed was another brick in the wall, apparently.
So why are some of the vaxxed held highly accountable for the faux martyrdom of St Ruth and Biggles, and others not so much?
You left out the Doc, Sancho.
I guess because some of us didn’t shill for the vax, or go to extreme lengths to discredit those who questioned them.
Just a guess, mind.
FMD. Every time you go inside to have a bit of dinner you miss something. Usually, it’s the fall of a wicket on the teev. Today it’s this:
As mentioned ad infinitum to that other cockhead from SW Quenthland, the one and only reason I got hit was to enable me to go interstate and see my sainted mother, who was poorly after the death of her husband of 52 years – and my father – on 13 August 2021.
As also mentioned, I was trapped here when Dad – one of the great men of our times – was on his deathbed after a) 25 years of rheumatoid arthritis straight from the top shelf, b) the lunchbox full of daily anti-inflams and c) anti-side effect drugs destroyed his immune system, and eventually killed him on that day. Along with pneumonia at the end, as is the case with so many.
As for dying, I’ll tell you this – I only hope to outlive my mother, and not to outlive my son. That’s it.
So what you can do, Eyrie, is get off your high horse, and go fuck yourself – with or without said horse – and stop telling what to do, and what I should have done.
Another Woomba single interest nuffy. I really don’t give a fuck whether you approve of my rationale or not. Clearly, you are (or were) a boat owner as well.
Very happy to take it to the OK Corral, because I’m yer fuckin’ huckleberry.
Birmingham is a fucking hypocrite and I’m fucking sick and tired of faux Liberals.
Birmingham, who looks like an anaemic poofta, is according to Rowan Dean, Dud Dutton’s right-hand dick stroker. If so, I suppose after the NSW libs get reduced to a telephone booth with matt kean doing the dialling, the feds will go even harder down the faux green route.
It’s Marter, if you don’t mind!”
Have you transitioned?
No. Unless I wanted to outsource the care of my parents to total strangers*, I had little choice.
I don’t want your crocodile tears when I die.
* who would also be despicable traitors
I really couldn’t give a shit, Pansie. IIRC you got the shot fairly late in the piece when there was plenty of evidence that it was ineffective and dangerous. The knife deep inside twisting in your guts is it?
If you can’t beat them…
I’d prefer it spelt right (martyr), but you get what you’re given.
Mater, sent you something
Eyrie.
Check your email.
“If you can’t beat them…
I’d prefer it spelt right (martyr), but you get what you’re given.”
Don’t worry, I promise never to deadname you.
I don’t want your crocodile tears when I die.
Ain’t got no tears, just hate for the arseholes who inflicted this on us. My and Mrs Eyrie’s families all got the shot. Most out of sheer ignorance and refusal to do any research. Some because they wanted to travel, which is the dumbest reason of them all.
IIRC you got the shot because your beloved was pressuring you and he afterwards found new information and admitted you’d both been lied to. Different story now?
Can we call him the one and only failure?
No, no.
Not so fast.
The mere fact a person got vaxxed emboldened The Authorities to oppress the Martyred.
It was purely quantitative, not qualitative.
Their reasons for getting vaxxed and reluctance (or otherwise) didn’t factor into the decision making of The Authorities.
So again, aren’t you (along with Matrix, Gez et al) equally accountable for the imagined “predicament” of Biggles and St Ruth as Rosie, me, JC and Knuckles?
I did not hate myself either. It was getting the vaxx or not seeing my dying mother in a nursing home. It was paramount that mum had me with her and also that I was sure she was comfortable.
Pretty easy to sit in rural Queensssland with nothing on the line taking pot-shots, and boring people shitless with Biggles fantasies.
No. All part of the same story. Some of which I disclosed. Do you think I’m stupid enough to spill everything on the interwebs?
Not interested in your shit on the liver. You’ll have to deal with it yourself.
This is an earlier article linked in Edward Slavsquat’s article on Russian Covid mandates and it’s absolutely horrifying.
Russia’s Great Reset: Facing reality
The grifters that used the situation for there own agendas deserve some of the blame for people not doing adequate research.
That’s on me. Not you.
Start screeching at your own family, the ones you wished you could control but couldn’t, before you yip yip yip yip at people half a continent away.
I’ve said my piece, and you refuse to duel it out on the purpose-built thread (again, like the other ‘real Quenthland man’ from the Last Holdout), so I reckon we’re done here.
Huckleberry.
Just to add a bit more to my previous comment. I was going to resist having the vaccine even if it cost me my job, I was close to retirement anyway. However, the government had my mother as a hostage. Principally, she was in a nursing home and then in and out of hospitals depending on her condition. Even though I have siblings mum was closest to me and depended on seeing me. I made the decision to have the vaxx just to make my mother’s last days not spent in anxiety.
Remember what LindaReynolds called her ? Seems like she was spot on and pathological one at that . Talking with doctor friends today who are amazed 11 vodkas didn’t kill her .
Crossie, according to the Woomba model airplane ‘pilot’ you are history’s greatest monster.
No. All part of the same story. Some of which I disclosed.
So why didn’t you admit that you got the shot to look after your parents? Seems harmless enough. Different story though from what you said here.
Many tales of schisms in families over the vax.
I have had cause to wonder about some of them.
Was the vax the real cause?
Or were the fault lines already there and the vax was just a convenient vehicle to ditch a hectoring old blowhard from family functions.
No names, of course.
Just a generalisation.
Did someone mention Biggles fantasies?
Mrs TE is insisting we watch The Empress on Netflix so a distraction would be welcome.
Does anyone know who the other woman at BH ‘s side , looks butch . ?
Pick me sir!
I know this one!
The correct answer is, “Fuck off. None of your business, Mini-Biggles.”
You are angry at the wrong people, Eyrie.
Campbell makes it pretty clear. He’s being censored by YouTube to prevent any discussion of ivermectin; the clinical trial results are being suppressed; he has ivermectin on hand for his own use.
And he quite openly and cleverly showed that he had used it…
Phhht.
Without so much as a second thought for St Ruth’s boat.
“Crossiesays:
October 6, 2022 at 9:51 pm”
You don’t have to explain or justify anything.
Correct
Exactly.
Nobody does.
And you know what Mini-Biggles?
You can shake your fist at the clouds* all day long.
Knock yourself out, champ.
See if you can alienate even more people.
No skin off for me.
….
* They’re Cumulo-Numbnuts clouds.
Fly your model plane around, not under.
i wonder why the forum is empty?
any clues?
anybody?
IIRC it was because I stood beside my favourite grandson (12yrs) so ‘whatever happened to him would happen to me.’
Also it was ‘to save my marriage’.
Mini-Biggles has crashed his PC flight sim?
Arky did it.
Empty?
Thursday.
Nearly 1700 comments on a forum which opened on Tuesday.
Some shops would kill for that sort of traffic.
Is it because not all comments concur with your particular view?
Is that the definition of “empty”?
Or is it because people have … snort, cackle … “perjuried themselves”?
Hey Calli – on the road to Skye – have visited the “garden of cosmic speculation” – I think it’s near Perth or Dundee
Musk is a white hat.
Ms Higgins said she had never expected her accused rapist to be named or that police would prosecute the case
You’re a brave man TE. Bonnet movies are beyond the pale. I don’t have to watch them until I’m the average age of death, 81.2 years.
His Starlink internet is great.
That complex is not a coincidence.
I’m just watching a recording of Credlin’s show this evening where Daniel Andrews is declaring his Catholic faith. Suddenly Catholicism is important to him just as Peta listed all the anti-Catholic things he enacted. Let me guess, there’s an election coming and he thinks he can fool all those idiot Catholics to vote for him.
White is a musk-rat.
Pass it on.
What the fuck did La Brittany think the cops were there to do?
Snap.
On ExCat, people would oooooh and ahhhhh in wonder as a seven-day OT approached 3000 comments.
The previous two OTs, on 27 September and 1 October and also covering a seven-day period, clocked up a total of 4210 comments. And that’s without upticks, which are hotly used (apparently) to agree with a post without creating a post saying you agreed with a post.
All the other OTs are there, or thereabouts. The joint’s rolling.
Space Force
Credlin interviewed Tucker tonight, which is good; but in commenting on the dearth of political leaders now in the US she compared Trump to biden and remarked that surely the US could do better than these 2.
Not true. She opened that section of the interview by speaking about Biden and Harris and she said surely the US can elect better candidates than those two. Trump was not discussed until after that statement.
Face sports.
Pass it on.
Thanks for the memories P. Nice mask slip.
Would you like it all in point form? Or is it more convenient to have one dimensional answers so your brain won’t hurt?
Quite so.
Johanna’s observation is correct: Airhead.
Political staffer, but too dumb to know what the cops are for.
Is “Bonnet Movies” the collective term for 19th century English period dramas?
Could be because the Three Stooges showing up.
What?
Me, sir?
No, nothing, just a bit of muffled laughter, sir.
Saved!
2.3 episodes into The Empress on Netflix and Mrs TE pronounces it bollocks.
Not only from the fact she’d read the biography but also historical howlers such as modern hairstyles and a woke dance sequence.
I do miss Tool Time, though.
Daniel Andrews was educated at the Marist Brothers’ Galen Catholic College.
Predictably known as Gay Land by students of other high schools.
Whoever taught that stupid arsehole deserves a flogging. How do you produce something with such arrogance and stupidity in one package?

The preview was running when I walked into The Good Room this evening.
I immediately filed it under “P” for “Probably No Good”.
Because their compliance sentenced us all to more than 2 years of this shite. It would have ended within a few days if everyone said no.
This is absolutely true.
I reckon they want a nuclear war which will enable them to stay in power. Its beyond doubt that the US did the Nord Stream bombing. What are they going to do next to provoke putie.
They do not need to do anything to provoke Putin into further atrocities. His entire focus and action now is based purely on himself and retention of his position in power as the most dangerous man on earth…
He will do whatever he thinks will retain the status quo even though he knows that he cannot win a conventional war against NATO and the nuclear option is possibly the end of his country and most assuredly the end of him.
Sanchez
I read earlier today your comment about someone or some people here endlessly whining about the lockdowns etc and blaming the Hunchback (as he should). Meanwhile they’re cheering Duarte’s mass killing spree in the Philippines of those associated with drugs. Who was that?
“Sliante” to all you horrible mob.
The dividend season has finished for another year, I’m quite flush with filthy lucre, and the seriously pretty young lady behind the bar of my local informs me that they now carry my favourite Scotch…
Thinking more about Putin dropping the bomb, it would put China in an interesting spot.
Surely they would have to join the sanctions in that scenario. Would they also join in the conventional war?
It could end up being like the race to Berlin between the Yanks and Russians at the end of WW2. Spoils of victory would be huge.
TE at 10:46.
Mrs P made a similar comment about Wolf Hall. The dialogue wasn’t realistic.
But, then again, if it was scripted in authentic Ye Olde 16th century Englyshe, we would probably only get every second word.
I didn’t mind it, even though the dialogue had a decidedly 21st century lilt to it.
Yes Thancho.
Umm, you do know that the Americans and the Russians had already decided how to divide up Germany between them, Berlin was to be in the Soviet zone of occupation, and the Americans weren’t going to have a single soldier killed in any such race? (Michel Dobbs “Six Months in Berlin.”)

I gave my dad a roasting the other day on the subject …no more shots for him. He’s clicked….it took a while.
You post copious amounts of shit on this blog, KD. Get a job with the ABC.
Good luck with your immune system.
I can’t recall off the top.
I thought I read it here but not 100% sure.
I remember it because the hypocrisy struck me.
Imagine sooking about Dan taking our freedoms away (a fair enough complaint) but, in the next breath, cheering on summary street executions.
FMD.
I will do a search and see if I can find it.
Can’t be that many comments about the Philippines (apart from how the girls there like the Aussie $$$$).
Possibly got sick of the nagging and just told you that for a bit of peace.
You’ll probably never know for sure.
Bonnet dramas.
I am so using that.
Speaking of dastardly Dan, does anyone remember the 120 days of daily press conferences when every death was tragic, now in 2022 those deaths number are just par for the course , daily covid press conferences, so very very 2020
hopefully this is the Victorian covid death stats from day one, from our world in data
Ms Higgins said she went to the media because she wanted to instigate cultural reform within the Liberal Party.
“I love my party, the Liberal Party, and didn’t necessarily want to hurt them,” she said.
“I wanted to reform this issue [and] I wanted to talk about something that had happened to me.”
Ms Higgins said she had never expected her accused rapist to be named or that police would prosecute the case.
What a shit storm.
Not true. She opened that section of the interview by speaking about Biden and Harris and she said surely the US can elect better candidates than those two. Trump was not discussed until after that statement.
That’ll teach me to listen to her instead or perving at her tits.
.. Head of communications for First Peoples Assembly Victoria, Aug20 – Aug21
Let’s rewind to
and we’re supposed to believe Higgins isn’t being used for a labor hit job?
You still working for 6PR, Mr Trickler?
I hear they’re very good.
Yet another in the cavalcade of doofi, upset that they can’t influence their own family and who overcompensate by screeching at individuals on the other side of the country.
so she was wasting their time. Is that not an offence?
Thanks, squealy.
By the way – are you still advocating that QEII should have been shot because she’s one of the lizard people?
Any of the bush lawyers care to comment?
She’s desperate to be believed about the rope – The Oz – but she didn’t think the police would investigate, or name the ropist?
No doubt its because she’s with 7, but https://twitter.com/ijmullen dropping the truth bombs that much of the print media seems to be omitting.
(HT Michael Smith)
Gee, reading through this evening’s blog-Hallward appears to be mentally well balanced. He left one of the funniest/ weird comments I’ve read on this blog. He said that when I died from a vax caused illness, he’d buy some aviation fuel, fill up the plane and fly down here to piss on my grave.
No mental health issues at all. None . Zero!
Apropos the Philippine shoot-on-sight approach to drug dealers:
Among the Philippine nationals in my staff & their extended social group in town, this tactic was extremely popular.

You are useless, too.
Yeah, and that was because Stalin was going to win the race, and was able to dictate terms at Yalta.
If there is a similar conference to figure out what to do with a defeated Russia, China will be at a major disadvantage if it wasn’t in the war.
Geez.
His model plane must be gigantic.
Makes it good then. I support something along those lines for those peddling alcohol. No mercy, I says. Shot to the head from close range.
Yes.
commenting on the dearth of political leaders now in the US she compared Trump to biden and remarked that surely the US could do better than these
How fucking dumb is Credlin? That munty level stupidity right there.
I will take that as high praise indeed, Mr Sixpee-Ah.

And:
If – IF – this is true, then I will advance the opinion that this was less about a drunken root, and more about a very hefty Aldi bag full of cash and an equally hefty promotion – all since turned to shit because a hand-patter ACT prosecutor decided to ‘believe all women’.
Terrible news.
There are many things you don’t understand.
Stick around on the Cat for a while & learn from people who’ve got some lived experience & have walked the walk. 😉

Take it to the duel shed or STFU. Thanks.
This one’s for Callie – a holiday in Scotland years ago, a seriously pretty Scots lass singing “Loch Lomond” in the hotel lounge after dinner, and a group of Scots farmers discovered an Australian wheat farmer, who not only knew the words of “Loch Lomond” but knew one end of a bottle of single malt from the other…
I know a couple of Philippine slappers who reckon Duarte’s murderous spree conducted by the police(no problems here) was a wonderful thing.
I watched the recording of Credlin’s show tonight and she didn’t.
No.
If you want to be argumentative, you’re free to depart for the abuse thread.
Or you can engage in a civil manner.
What a trooper.
Snowballed.
That is the word.
I think Britnah isn’t overly sharp, but by Monday morning she must have realised that she needed a pretty good story to avoid the high jump.
Probably half convinced herself by then.
And maybe also watched too many US cop shows where the magic phrase “I don’t want to press charges” makes it all go away.
Oh God.
Warms my heart too.
That comes from lived experience and from walked the walk. Acting civilly also includes being honest and not blowharding. Anyway, stop interfering in discussions that don’t include you. Thanks.
Sure, sure.
Bit awkward that “We want to drop it on the Monday of a sitting week to do the most damage to them” comment.
Discovery.
I bet she didn’t know about discovery when she said that.
She does now.
No.
This is an open discussion thread.
Cross examination should be an interesting exercise..
Try and initiate some original discussions yourself, Driller. It always appears that you never initiate. Some suggest it’s parasitical. Thanks
You would have benefited from completing high school.
As it is you’re able to render remedial assistance to yourself by proceeding to the Oxford English Dictionary (online) & investigating the meaning of the word “civilly”
It does not mean what you seem to think it means.
Always happy to help. I’m available for more remedial English tips should you require any. 😉
From this even Sherlock Holmes’ dog would deduce you pay scant attention to the Cat open thread.

Eyrie:
Just to make the point clear, I’m not denigrating anyone who did take the Vaxxine – every tree in a hurricane has a point at which it either bends, or breaks.
Those who bent were smart to do so. There is no use in breaking to make a point when others depend on you.
I don’t have anyone dependent and so I chose that particular hill to die on. I wasn’t doing it for anyone else – just my own ego – “Fuck You, Sunshine.” is worth putting on ones tombstone.
Chalmers was Wayne Goosesteen’s brains trust. Lismore TAFE’s finest. Actually he has a Ph D on the Krug or someone I think. Be worried.

There was once a painter named Smokey who was very interested in making a penny where he could, so he often thinned down his paint to make it go a wee bit further.
As it happened, he got away with this for some time, but eventually the Baptist Church decided to do a big restoration job on the outside of one of their biggest buildings.
Smokey put in a bid, and, because his price was so low, he got the job. So he set about erecting the scaffolding and setting up the planks, buying the paint and, yes, I am sorry to say, thinning it down with turpentine.
Well, Smokey was up on the scaffolding, painting away, the job nearly completed, when suddenly there was a horrendous clap of thunder, the sky opened, and the rain poured down washing the thinned paint from all over the church and knocking Smokey clear off the scaffold to land on the lawn among the gravestones, surrounded by tell-tale puddles of the thinned and useless paint.
Smokey was no fool. He knew this was a judgment from the Almighty, so he got down on his knees and cried “Oh, God, Oh God, forgive me; what should I do?”
And from the thunder, a mighty voice spoke…
“Repaint! Repaint! And thin no more!”

Alger Hiss [convicted], Harry Hopkins, Harry Dexter White, John Abt,
Robert Oppenheimer, thousands of others at high levels.
2. Marshall and Harry Hopkins traveled to China in 1942 to meet with
Mao Tse Tung
3. Marshall burnt all his papers before he died
Multi-choice question.
Will the November half term election in USA result in:
a) an honest win for the Republicans,
b) another result like 2020, or
c) a declaration of a national crisis requiring martial law at once?
Given their penchant for lying, it might very well save your credibility.
I’ve learnt very recently that it’s almost essential in dealings. Our society is now not only low trust, it’s lacking in honour and integrity. The problem starts from the top.
It’s not so much recording it that is problematic, it’s what you do with it. At the very least it allows you to re-check what was said, so you don’t come to doubt your own recollections.
Is secretly recording a conversation with a Minister of the Crown legal? No.
Likely to cause blowback? Who cares?
Dangerous to one’s credibility? How?
The problem appears to be that she placed trust in the wrong people.
Nothing good ever came outta the Labor Party or anyone associated with it and they won’t help you, that’s a given.
In effect, Australia has been warned – by what is happening overseas.
Companies planning to close coal fired power stations, which will tip us into a deficit of power, should be told by the government that such actions, including failure to maintain serviceability of those stations, will lead them to be compulsorily forfeited to the government, which will then assume ownership in order to maintain reliable power.
The privatisation of power has failed, and was a cash grab first and foremost.
Wind and solar should not be relied on and should not be given any assistance.
Funny how government solutions is always money. Never any grass root solutions.
As for the ABC that article Rosie shows the ABC is maintaining it s lowest common denominator in abysmal journalism.

Yeah, and that was because Stalin was going to win the race, and was able to dictate terms at Yalta.”
No…once again the fat fascist fuckwit doesn’t know history and this should not surprise us. If there was a race, that race was aimed solely at defeating Germany and demilitarising the country, there was no race between the US, Briton and the Soviet Union. Stalin and the Soviet Union weren’t going to win any “race”, if anything that honour belonged to the Americans. The Americans could have pushed further East but each allied country was exhausted and Roosevelt needed to end the war in Europe in order to concentrate on the war in the Pacific, a war the Soviet Union was not engaged in. The Russians wanted a buffer in Eastern Europe and in 1945, considering the damage Germany had done in two wars, the British and the Americans agreed, despite Churchill’s reservations. Churchill was right…it was Roosevelt who was wrong about Stalin.
The fat fascist fuckwit is trying to meddle with history so as to suit his current opinions about Putin and Russia now, particularly with what Russia is doing in Ukraine. No fuckwit, that’s not how history works.
calli, as I said to Crossie last night apropos vaccinations et al….
You don’t have to explain or justify anything.

Left-wing ex-NHS nurse who sparked outrage by claiming Tory voters ‘don’t deserve to be resuscitated’ reveals she is going to be SACKED after rant on Jeremy Vine debate”
I saw the exchange and the woman should be sacked. I wouldn’t want to be treated by someone like her. However none of this surprises me. Oh and if I recall correctly, that cane toad, anti-Semitic, China whoring slug aka Bob Carr said something similar late last year about the “unvaccinated”, what was it? Oh that’s right, the cane toad said that the unvaccinated shouldn’t be treated in hospital.
For the book lovers:
Edward Bernays – Propaganda.
Remember
Bob Carr is as tough as nails because he spoke to convicted criminals through four inches of plexiglass with a platoon of the State’s finest anti riot corrections officers from John Moroney (gaol special forces, basically).
He single handedly stopped all Middle Eastern crime in Sydney.
That’s simply untrue, it worked fine (excellently, actually) until the RET, pwice on carbin and now the stupid 43% CERT.
Bob ‘Steel-Cut’ Carr is not to be messed with. Hard AF.
His mere presence sends oats for miles around a-quiver.
So, just to reiterate that this is quite clearly a political hit job from the beginning….
“The court heard a snippet of audio from a January 27 meeting between Ms Higgins, Wilkinson and her boyfriend David Sharaz.
In the audio, Mr Sharaz is heard saying the couple wanted the story to drop on February 15, 2021, because it was the start of a parliamentary sitting week.
“It’s a sitting week when we want the story to come out,” Mr Sharaz can be heard telling Wilkinson and her producer.
“Sitting week the story comes out … questions … it’s a mess for them. That’s why Britt’s picked that timeline.”
In the audio, Mr Sharaz said Ms Higgins had devised a timeline that the story would drop before a sitting week so the government would have to take questions.
He said Labor senator Katy Gallagher would probe and keep the story going in March at a Senate estimates hearing.
So Labor mean girl Gallagher knew too…..before the police were involved?
One thing is clear…
1. Be it the dress, the bruise and the tapes, Higgins credibility has been torn apart and her testimony is highly questionable.
2. From the beginning, this was a political hit job, aimed at destroying the Liberal government.
It worked a treat because Scumbag was an quisling, desperate to appease his enemies. Tom was right, the whole thing reeks of a conspiracy.
Stats nerds.
I highly recommend you look up the James – Stein paradox or random walks in 3D.
Fascinating.
There are some decent you tube videos on them now too.
It would be interesting to see this applied to PLS, time series analysis or panel data (likely with machine learning/artificial neural nets to optimise estimators or iterative processes like single value decomposition for PLS for example).
The applications to financial modelling of derivatives, economic forecasting and chemometrics are probably mind boggling.

Got to’ve been one of the dumbest Covid moves by a government, although the competition is pretty fierce for that title.
