Channel 7’s Dean Lester is so highly rated as a form analyst that trainers use him to write their speed maps. When Lester backs a horse, bookies respond by changing the market.
Yesterday, in a regular segment on the racing industry’s RSN radio service, Lester nominated Nanagui (J: L. Nolen; T: Peter Moody) as an $8.50 roughie in the Thoroughbred Club Stakes (1200m) at Caulfield today. Bookies responded by making Nanagui the $4.80 favourite.
Worth a small each-way wager as Lester’s roughies have a fairly good strike rate.

UK companies are collapsing at the fastest rate since the height of the global financial crisis as surging energy bills drive thousands of firms out of business.
There were more than 5,600 insolvencies in England and Wales in the second quarter – the highest level since 2009, according to the Office for National Statistics.
The sharp rise in energy bills was cited as the biggest problem for businesses, while difficulties paying debt, rising costs of raw materials and supply chain disruptions also took their toll.
While the squeeze on finances has hit all businesses, construction, retail and accommodation and food services suffered the highest number of insolvencies in the first half of the year.

The two screenshots of diametrically opposite climate stories only one year apart are amusing.
An old couple had been married for 50 years.
They were sitting at the breakfast table one morning when the old gentleman said to his wife “Just think, we’ve been married for 50 years”. “Yeah” she replied.
“Just think, fifty years ago we were sitting here at this breakfast table together”. “I know” the old man said “but we were probably sitting here stark naked fifty years ago”. “Well” Granny snickered “what do you say, should we strip?”
So, the two stripped to the buff and sat down at the table.
“You know, honey” the little old lady said “my nipples are as hot for you today as they were fifty years ago”. “I wouldn’t be surprised” replied Gramps. “One’s in your coffee and the other is in your porridge”.

US National Debt Reaches Historic High
From Armstrong Economics –
“The US national debt has reached a historic high under Biden after surpassing $31 trillion. The national debt has always been chaotic as politicians push spending agendas with no plans to pay their debts. The only time the national debt was paid in full was in January 1835 under President Andrew Jackson. The US fell into debt just one year later and the austerity contributed to the subsequent Civil War and Jackson’s war on the banks.
The last time the US experienced a surplus was in 2001, although the debt still increased. COVID spending pushed the nation’s debt to new levels, and the US government spent $3.1 trillion more than it earned. In 2021, the federal government spent $2.8 trillion more than it earned. Now in 2022, the Biden Administration is announcing a new spending plan each week.
Biden spent $1.9 trillion on the American Rescue plan last year, which many blame for fueling inflation as $400 billion was earmarked for Americans to stay home and not work. Biden attempted to pass the $5 trillion Build Back Better bill, the largest proposed bill in US history. When that bill failed, Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act for $740 billion. Numerous independent studies have stated that the act will only worsen inflation.
Biden plans to spend around $400 billion to cancel student loan debt for families earning as much as $250,000 annually. To add insult to injury, Washington has sent Ukraine nearly $17 billion this year alone. This administration is not worried about taxpaying citizens, and eventually, the citizens will be the ones footing the bill for Biden’s excessive spending.”

A city boy, Jimmy, moved to the country and bought a donkey from an old farmer for 100 pounds sterling. The farmer agreed to deliver the donkey the following day.
The next day the farmer drove up and said “Sorry, son, but I have some bad news – the donkey died”. Jimmy replied. “Well then, just give me my money back”. The farmer said “Can’t do that. I went and spent it already”. Jimmy said “Okay then, just unload the donkey”. The farmer asked “What you gonna do with him?” Jimmy: “I’m going to raffle him off”. Farmer: “You can’t raffle off a dead donkey!” Jimmy: “Sure l can. Watch me. I just won’t tell anybody he’s dead”.
A month later, the farmer met up with Kenny and asked “What happened with that dead donkey?” Jimmy: “I raffled him off. I sold five hundred tickets at two quid each and made a profit of £898”.
Farmer: “Didn’t anyone complain?”
Kenny: “Just the guy who won. So I gave him his two pounds back”.

After a two-week criminal trial in a very high-profile bank robbery case, the judge turns to the jury foreman and asks “Has the jury reached a verdict in this case?” “Yes, we have, your honour” The foreman responded.
“Would you please pass it to me” the judge declared, as he motioned for the bailiff to retrieve the verdict slip from the foreman and deliver it to him.
After the judge reads the verdict himself, he delivers the verdict slip back to his bailiff to be returned to the foreman and instructs the foreman “Please read your verdict to the court”.
“We find the defendant Not Guilty of all four counts of bank robbery” stated the foreman.
The family and friends of the defendant jump for joy at the verdict and hug each other as they shout expressions of divine gratitude.
The man’s attorney turns to his client and asks “So, what do you think about that?”
The defendant, with a bewildered look on his face turns to his attorney and says “I’m real confused here. Does this mean I can keep the loot or do I have to give all the money back?”

It’s interesting that Tim David was released from one of the State cricket systems (WA, I think) and has then gone on to become one of the most in-demand T20 specialist cricketers in the world. He’ll make more cash at the end of his career than a high-end Test player who’ll ‘work’ for far longer.
I’m okay with this short-form specialisation, if only because the big cricket crews in England, India and here have finally worked out that Test cricket is still the the pinnacle, and still needs red-ball professionals to get the job done. David was too inconsistent to play five day Tests where a single cockup can sit you down for two days or more. In those two days he could play three T20s and make a duck, 14 and an 88 which more than makes up for it.
Well done son.

DB on before, I admit to fishing here as my searches turned up empty but ears pricked when I heard it. My mate is not one to run with stories but I suppose we will find out in due course.
Janet A has written an excellent piece in the Oz today about the Andrew Thorburn Essendon saga, it’s worth reading. I can’t seem to post the Oz piece or even snippets of it so my answer to Janet’s paragraph on the Religious Freedom Bill is as follows….
Back in 2019, you will all recall how the Morrison government promised a Religious Freedom Bill, only to cowardly sideline it and then, at the eleventh hour, try and resuscitate the bill in February of this year, minutes before an election, only then to see a bunch of so called Liberals…aka LINO’s…aka wets, unlamented garbage such as Katie “I love Obama” Allen, Rent Zimmerboy, Dave Karma Sharma, Bridget Archer and that despicable Fiona Martin who liked to call the police when voters in her electorate tried to ask her questions, ALL cross the floor to vote against the bill. As Teena McQueen said at CPAC last Sunday, thankfully the aforementioned Greens (and let’s be honest, that’s what they are) bar one (sadly Archer remains) are now all gone from the party. I’m not that fond of McQueen but she’s dead right on this. Suck it up Bummingham.
I’ve seen Dave Sharma once since the election, he was with his daughter so I decided not to confront him about various things but when I next see him, if alone, I will have words with him. The truth is that he didn’t deserve to win Wentworth AND HE IS NO LOSS to the electorate, to parliament and more crucially, to the Liberal Party of Australia. The plain truth is that there was and is zero difference between him and Allegra Spender and at least Spender, now sidelined to the cross-benchers since winning the seat, can’t inflict any damage the way Sharma did. Sharma and those other unlamented Liberals caused catastrophic damage to the Liberal government, be it on offshore drilling, be it on net zero emissions and be on the failure of the Religious Freedom Bill.
Here’s another paragraph from Janet’s superb piece..Our cultural collapse is personified further by Victorian Human Rights Commissioner Ro Allen siding with Essendon, applauding them for “standing to their values”. What about the core human right to freely practise your religion, to think private thoughts in a liberal democracy? Allen is an embarrassment to human rights
Well, yes Janet. The thing is Janet, I’m always sceptical of anything called “human rights”, which is just code for progressive left rights. Groups like that should be more appropriately named “Humbug Rights”. And Ro Allen? Allen isn’t concerned with the rights of ordinary people, or the rights of conservatives, or the rights of Christians or the rights of anyone who refuses to conform to the progressive narrative. We’ve long known that these “Humbug Rights organisations” aren’t interested in protecting the rights of most Australians and particularly the rights of Christians. Much of this was laid bare over the last two and half years when these groups said nada, zilch, nothing about lockdowns and how the human rights of Australians were being daily violated and trashed, particularly the human rights of Victorians, who were being handcuffed, bashed, beaten, run over and bludgeoned by the paramilitary wing of the Victorian Labor government, aka the Victorian police. And federally, despite having a Coalition government for almost nine years, nothing was done to curb or shut down star chambers such as the Federal Humbug Rights Commission. And you can be assured that if Groundhog Guy was to miraculously win the Victorian election next month*, the Liberal government won’t shut down the Victorian Humbug Rights Commission. These organisations exist to target Australians who refuse to conform to the progressive zeitgeist. They don’t even try to hide their animus towards us.
Two or three weeks ago, Chris Kenny had a well-known slime bucket and so-called expert on ethics, Simon Longstaff, on his show. Longstaff heads the leftist talkfest “Festival of Dangerous Ideas”, which includes topics progressive scum love, such as euthanasia and bestiality. Kenny asked him about the Israel Folau question and the Muslim AFL player, Haneen Zreika, who earlier this year refused to wear the “Pride” jersey because it conflicted with her religion and funnily enough, just this week, has again refused to wear the Pride jersey. Longstaff, whose only expertise, as far as I’m concerned, is being a slithering snake, snidely sniped at Folau by saying RA was right to sack him for his social media posts, but then the slithering snake Longstaff defended Zreika’s right to refuse to wear the Pride jersey. I noted how, despite the contradictions, Kenny treated Longstaff with kid gloves. Anyway, given what’s ensued this week with Thorburn and Essendon, on Thursday I emailed Chris Kenny to ask him if he could get Longstaff back on his programme so he could ask Longstaff his opinion on what’s happened to Thorburn. I haven’t heard back from Kenny.

Any thoughts on the relevance of the constant stream of Benny Hill jokes in the great scheme of World Events?
Yes it’s not easy picking the winners in that wide open tech space. A certainty is that there isn’t and won’t be sufficient uranium ore to meet demand and the investment capital threshold to find , extract, process and then ship this particular product isn’t an easy proposition these days. So producing miners (I think) is the right space for now.
For the record, it matters not (in my view) if St. Ruth made his way down from the mountaintop and got jabbed.
It’s fair to suggest, due to the repeated operattas on display here that the reason behind his employment turnover may be because he’s a crashing, full-volume bore desperate for attention in one way or another who gave the shits to management and clientele alike.

The AFR View
Tax populism won’t wash away broken promise
Labor’s bigger broken promise was to boost living standards without a plan to do so. So it’s keeping a tax for the not-so-rich instead.
Five months into office, Labor faces its first great political crunch. After three years of campaigning on its own uprightness and integrity in contrast to Scott Morrison’s supposed slipperiness, Anthony Albanese is backing Jim Chalmers in softening the ground to break their election promise to keep the Coalition’s stage three tax cuts.
The first question goes to the basic integrity of the two senior figures of the Labor Party to so brazenly break the promise they made to voters less than six months ago. The second question is whether Australia will go further down the road of big government financed by punitive taxes on the aspirational class that Bob Hawke and Paul Keating helped create, just when what is needed is a sharpening of incentives to drive growth and productivity.
The underlying truth is that Labor cannot afford the inflationary $18 billion in new promises it took to the election, such as a National Insurance Disability Scheme set to blow out to $60 billion a year – as it knew all along. The “tough choices” that Jim Chalmers talked about on Friday are really about whether to allow Labor’s social spending monuments to continue with little restraint.
Dr Chalmers says the five “essential or unavoidable” spending areas – debt servicing, aged care, hospitals, defence and NDIS – all now cost much more than they did; 14 per cent more over four years in the case of NDIS. Government spending has ratcheted up by 2 percentage points of GDP since before the pandemic, even with the lowest jobless rate in close to 50 years.
Tax receipts are close to 3 per cent of GDP higher than a decade ago and now threaten to break through the Morrison-era cap of 23.9 per cent of GDP. The budget is expected to be in structural post-pandemic deficit of up to $50 billion a year.
The Treasurer proposes to narrow that gap by slugging Australia’s wage earners even harder than they are being hit now, drawing more from an income well that former Australian Competition and Consumer Commission chairman and former Hawke adviser Rod Sims describes as “maxed out” already.
The stage three tax cuts due to start in mid-2024 would mostly just hand back the stealthy tax increases imposed on these wage earners through bracket creep. Reversing this now won’t even help until another two budgets have passed. But Dr Chalmers is being backed by Labor pragmatists who say just take the political pain now: regardless of the merits, voters will have forgotten by the election.
Pushed into top tax scale
Most likely, Labor will pare back the stage three tax cuts along the lines of Dr Chalmers’ insistence that cost-of-living relief should be “targeted to people on low and middle incomes”. But the legislated stage three tax cuts are not unfair. Stage three would allow all Australians on incomes between $45,000 and $200,000 a year to keep 70¢ of each extra dollar they earn, sharpening the incentives to work.
The current $180,000 threshold at which the top 47 per cent marginal tax rate kicks in has been frozen since Wayne Swan’s time a decade and a half ago. If indexed to price inflation, it would now be close to $260,000. Not indexing the tax scales means hundreds of thousands more Australians who are not rich have been pushed into a top tax scale Mr Keating has called “punitive”.
If the tax cuts they would get under stage three look big in dollar terms, it is because in a progressive system they already pay most of the tax. This week, Labor MP Mike Freelander, whose seat covers Campbelltown in outer Sydney – full of the successful, aspirational but hardly wealthy tradie class that Keating Labor created – said $200,000 was “well-off, but not rich”.
What’s happening here is that Labor is being caught out on its bigger broken promise to kickstart wages growth and higher living standards without having any plan to do so. Exposed by the global inflation breakout, it is resorting to policy populism that will dull, not sharpen, Australia’s economic growth potential and undermine the nation’s capacity to attract global talent and sustain generous social spending.
I would expect our biggest problem to be being late to the party and going to the back of the line. We’d be far better off just building new full scale powerplants, but that’s never going to happen. Only way anything will get done is by crisis, with years of intermittent power etc. while it get worked out.

That “militia” was the hated and feared “Native Police” – ruthless in Queensland. They were from outside that State, and did not recognize the local indigenous as fellows.
Hey Zulu – spot on! Most of the luvvies have been mesmerised by the “First Nations” stupidity. Consequently, they don’t understand that the “nations” consisted of (often) warring language groups and clan groups. From time to time they ceased hostilities to come together for ceremonies. From what I can see, this may have included betrothals since long, long tradition precluded men from marrying into “skin” groups ie close relatives.
As for the range wars – are we really surprised that there were frequent conflicts? The indigenous Aborigines had a very strong cultural tradition of “sharing” food within their recognised territory and groups. How else do we think that they survived a basic, nomadic existence for so long? The tragedy was that they came into conflict (which neither party really understood) with a foreign culture that put a premium on the concept of private ownership of land and domestic stock.
In actual fact, a great many Aborigines during early white settlement keenly accepted such novelties as blankets, flour and other “luxuries”. This is not to doubt that there was deep resentment at the loss of traditional hunting grounds. It is also not surprising that they could not see a problem with spearing the white man’s stock for food, including disabling them for later consumption.
It is a mark of the lack of critical thinking and historical nous amongst our “intellectuals”that such obvious consequences of white settlement are not understood.
BTW, I do not subscribe to the custom of seeing white settlement as a “stain” on our contemporary nation. Such historical revisionism is a mark of our descent into childish and mawkish habits of thought, and prevents the successful integration of those of Aboriginal descent into contemporary life.
“Range Anxiety”
Initially I though this was something to do with shooting uncleaned .22’s with dodgy ammo!
It’s possible to look at the matter of R v Lehrmann from a number of angles:
• The Trollop, “no better than she should be…”
• The Bastard Patriarchy looking after its own…
• The New Idea – “tearful Britney forced to relive…”
Or culture wars; playing out of media and politics into the real world – and setting new performance standards in the justice system.
Not top of mind, but I’m mainly getting the latter at the the Cat.
(With some Trollop.)
Farmers are corporate according to vicplod intellect
Never said I was corporate.
KD believes whatever he tells himself.
And then expects others to.
No mental issues there…………..
I would like to think that I’m not normally too precious about my posts, but since it took me awhile on the previous thread…
I see from one of BB’s comments on the previous OT that Brittney (Australian of the Year -pending) was approached by Pirate Pete about a book deal before she even spoke to the police.
No doubt Pete will get his crack team of researchers on the case and will provide his own inimitable embellishments.
And no doubt Brittney’s indignation will soar up to eleventy when she reads the book and discovers to her horror new details of the event that she had not known.
Imagine her outrage (outrageously outrageous outrage) when she learns that Lehrmann also ushered in the entire Cabinet to have their way with her; how they urinated and defecated on her inert body, how they dragged her into the basement of Parliament House where they took her newborn baby (innocent issue of the night’s savagery), and Tony Abbott and John Howard ritually killed it. They all drank the blood, even forcing Brittany to drink as well.
But in the book Brittney will be the loveable hero, possessed of a free and unbroken spirit, too pure for the world she was to enter into. She looked at the stunted and malformed ogres of the Liberal Party, but all she saw was people needing help.
The Libs will be a melding of 19th and 20th century British toffs with things like “tally-ho” and “I say” tripping constantly from their tongues, a haughty cabal concealing their grasping, calculating, and corrupted natures beneath layers of scented linen, silk, and brocade, with flashing medals and sparkling jewellery – jewellery and medals alike trophies of past successful campaigns won by blood of others.
Then we will have the likes of Bruce, one of an army of foul emissaries, intermediaries that transmit the will of the Liberal cabal upon the real world. Stripped of humanity, motivated solely by greed and malice, and a wish to one day be received into the cabal, there will be no deed so low he will not stoop to it, and when the command is given to get rid of ‘the virginal upstart’, he will know exactly what to do.
This will be a boon for Pirate Pete. To date his market niche has been kids who need to buy a present for their Dads but have no idea what their Dads want but don’t yet have – and in the ‘bargain bin’ price range.
This will open the door to the ‘My daughter is a middle-class undergraduate feminist gender studies uni student’ market.

And that’s the very reason it is being asked for – establish a precedent so the next demand can be forced.

I read somewhere recently that Ukraine has literally trillions of dollars worth of lithium, with a lot of it in the disputed areas. I wonder if the US proxy war is partially because of that – in the sense of wanting to keep that stuff in safe hands.
There’s also the possibility that Zelensky has a ton of shit on Hiden family corrupt behavior.
He opened a managerial consultancy called Anger Management.

That “militia” was the hated and feared “Native Police” – ruthless in Queensland. They were from outside that State, and did not recognize the local indigenous as fellows.
There are certainly stories to be told here…but the war memorial is not the place.
Everything prior to 1 January 1901 should be in a separate “Colonial Conflicts” museum. Including the Boxer Rebellion and the colonial government contributions to the Second Boer War (1899-1902). That is also the correct place for the so-called “indigenous Resistance”.
Been thinking about investing in a 12g Browning A-bolt.
Mobilisations always scare off some adult males, monty, but its amazing that you are so eager to believe curated reports in our MSM that purportedly demonstrate that RUS will fail to mobilize 300K from a reserve pool of 2M with military and combat exp., there is also about 70K that have volunteered since the partial mobilisation announcement, and there is also another 200K active duty military, not including the 150K already in theatre, out of a pool of about 1M. A full mobilisation would involve an available pool of men in the order of 25M, compared with UKR’s 5M which they are already dipping into aggressively.
Further, RUS could heavily target public utilities, government buildings, political decisionmakers, and the like. It could escalate the range of weapons its using in theatre, and so on. Again, the fact that you can’t imagine anything between the present circumstance and the use nuclear weapons is neither here nor there.
How about an exhibit for the 40,000 years of intertribal warfare which occurred prior to 1788?
That could actually be quite interesting, as I suspect there’d be a fair number of archaeological items you could put in it.

Could it be that someone turned into a self-appointed shop steward stirring up the troops in the depot, and the owner* of the transport company issued a DCM?
…..
* The owner. You know, the bloke who was probably saving the price of a 16′ boat every week in insurance premiums by having Bing-Bongs installed. And also the bloke who would be on the hook for massive fines (and jail in some states) if one of his dickhead drivers runs over someone, having exceeded his mandated driving time limits.
I like to think I have a healthy skepticism about propaganda from both sides. I don’t doubt that Russia will eventually mobilise 300k or more, even though some from the West cast shadows on even that number… the quality of such troops might be less than advertised, though, especially if they rush the training and don’t have enough equipment for them.
Ukraine currently has a manpower advantage, Russia could turn that around in the medium term absent the prospect of NATO actually committing troops. Ukraine also has a materiel advantage… short of China suddenly forming an Axis with them, I seriously doubt Russia is going to be able to compete with NATO long-term.
Ukraine has been loading up for this war since 2014, they had more than enough advance warning that it was coming. Russia seems to have stuffed around in that time, they got cocky and thought every invasion would be a SMO-sized cakewalk. On paper Russia should have strolled this in, but you don’t fight wars on paper.
The third dose increases immunity, so after the fourth dose you are protected. Once 90% of the population has received the fifth dose, the restrictions can be relaxed as the sixth dose stops the virus from spreading. I am calm and believe that the seventh dose will solve all our problems and we have no reason to fear the eighth dose. The clinical phase of the ninth dose confirms that the antibodies remain stable after the tenth dose. The eleventh dose guarantees that no new mutations will develop, so there is no longer any reason to criticize the idea of the twelfth dose.

Putin’s Big Tease.
There are reports that Nord Stream 2 is still partially usable. Nord Stream 1 is now a memory, can’t be fixed, but Nord Stream 2 can be partially used. That had two pipes, one was destroyed but the other is only slightly damaged and can still be used.
Putin can now tempt Germany with a solution to their energy supply problems which will make life difficult for the German politicians. When industries start closing, thousands are put out of work, and people are freezing, the politicians won’t be able to shrug and say there’s no alternative as Nord Stream 2 is available.
They won’t use it though due to the sanctions on that pipeline, and they will now face a hostile population who will demand an end to the sanctions. They must be cursing the US for not doing a complete demolition.

BTW I have been waiting for the NLIS to ban Ivermectin for drenching livestock, given its efficacy.
Indeed, one supplier got “antsy” when I wanted to purchase a supply last year for normal drenching against parasites. He tried to insist that I should use a different product because “continued use of one product causes resistance”. What bullshit. I got my usual supply somewhere else & refuse to deal with that store again. The Ivermectin I subsequently used worked like a treat – as it always does.
Labor voters and vaxtards are modern day human livestock.
I submitted to. In my case it was the (not so) veiled threat of denying me urgent surgery. Without any word od exaggeration, Andrews policy nearly killed me. Quite apart from spending every 2nd day in agony (again, not an exaggeration, I literally passed out in pain multiple times), the monomania around COVID meant I didn’t get a look in. This is how it worked, I pass out in pain, get rushed to hospital, three times under lights and sirens, get to emergency and get (four times) emergency surgery to correct the immediate threat, prescribed pain killing drugs normally reserved for stage 4 cancer sufferers and then sent home. Since the pain is “managed”, I’m no longer a Cat 1 and do the cycle started again. Getting vaccinated removed one impediment to receiving that surgery.
Does that make me a simp? BTE, my surgery was finally undertaken during the last hospital shutdown announced by Merlino. What started as a simple surgical fix at the very beginning of the COVID hysteria, turned into an 6 hour emergency surgery with three specialists battling to keep me alive.
Fuck Andrews to the moon >:(

He wanted silver.
Following his habit of always going to the top, he met with Treasury Secretary Morganthou. The ever gracious Secretary suggested that he may be able to help and asked Groves how much silver he required.
“14.7 tons”.
“Young man, in Treasury we account for silver in Troy ounces”.
Apparently ar war’s end the silver was returned less 1% machining loss. Some Treasury gronk attempted to charge him for the shortfall.
And Nelson just folds. Par for course. He should resign.

“I moved to get back onboard as only one can move when stuck 1500 kilometres from anywhere next to a train with the engine running”.

And yet you still imagine that this partial mobilisation is summoning untrained recruits. What part of mobilizing from “a reserve pool of 2M with military and combat exp.” didn’t you understand?
UKR currently have a manpower advantage because they have been pressing about 0.5M men into service since Feb., banned the international travel of military age men, and unleashed groups like Right Sector to dragoon the less then willing into military service. RUS will have turned that manpower advantage in theatre around by Nov.
We’ve had six months of Western propaganda that RUS would be out of munitions, equipment, etc. by April, then May, and so on, but we haven’t seen any reduction in their rate of fire, and the like. We have seen, however, the Western powers begin to exhaust their supply of equipment, munitions, etc. Not sure why you think that NATO can turn this around in the short term without radically redirecting whatever manufacturing centres they have left to the production of armaments, munitions, and the like without the consequent hit to their consumer industry.
It was only yesterday when the Nobel Laurette was saying , R&D investment is just phooey.
Hold that, it was earlier today when the Professor Hallward was suggesting that if R&D expenditure actually worked we’d have fusion by now. How the worm turns.

Roger and others re AWM.
To quote David Burge:-
The AWM is currently between 1 and 2.
The point is, they didn’t want to put this in a standalone museum, because the discretionary visitor numbers would have been an abysmal embarrassment.
I don’t agree about the hordes of school kids. That is a captive market, and any standalone museum would have been #1 on the excursion schedule anyway.
They will set this up at the AWM so it is impossible to avoid walking through it, and then claim visitor numbers as evidence of massive public support for … Da Voice!
The UK Government has committed to operationalizing the world’s first commercial nuclear fusion reactor by 2040. Once complete, the facility (which in theory could offer virtually infinite clean energy) will be constructed in West Burton, Nottinghamshire.
If successful, this would be very fitting for a nation that produced the world’s first commercial nuclear fission reactor in the 1950s.

The quality of reservists is wildly variable, db. This is a very different war from those like Chechnya where most of the troops could just twiddle their thumbs while the artillery men pressed the buttons. This time they actually have to fight.
In theory yes, though I’ll believe it when I hear about it actually making a difference in the field.
We have seen the Western powers order more equipment, yes. This is not a sign of weakness, especially since the Ukrainians are currently using their existing stocks of equipment (plus a lot of newly-seized Russian stuff) to conduct a wildly successful counter-offensive.
I suspect the Western military-industrial complex is superior in capacity to that of Russia over whatever term you like, given the US on its own spends more than ten times as much per year. Their donations to Ukraine are a drop in the bucket compared to their overall budget.
Love Pedro’s work.

Don’t be silly. Hallward Hughes suggested we’d have fusion by now with the resources tipped into it so far.
On a serious not, a long while ago, I read there’s a 20plus nation consortium operating out of Europe, trialing in an experimental fusion reactor. I think it said they firing it up in 2024 or 25.
Just a quick comment/data point.
Sister went to best mates funeral on Wednesday. Lots of nurses and docs there as they do.
Three people have found themselves with really aggressive cancers that came from the blue – no warning, just a vague feeling of unwellness. One girl – I trained with her in 1983, her husband got an Xray for unusual abdo pain. Laparoscopy two days later and then opened up for bowel resection etc. Immediately closed again. Secondaries all through the peritoneum, the lymphatic system and lungs. Liver secondaries.
Given three months.
Don’t know vaccination status, but as sister said, there was a real atmosphere of fear as people left the chapel. Really aggressive cancers. This is getting a bit scary.

It is amusing when non STEM people think they understand scientific and industrial R&D.
We still don’t have commercial nuclear fusion and the “it’s only an engineering problem” thing has been around since the late 1960’s. We also don’t have a safe and effective corona virus vaccine, just an ineffective one of dubious safety that has had a lot of marketing. I’m sure being able to force customers to use your product is the dream of crony capitalists everywhere.
Money is a necessary condition but not a sufficient one.
Why would it be a national security issue. Starlink is privately owned and some while ago Musk offered it to Ukraine for free. If it goes off it goes off.
I’m pretty sure the US military has satellite assets peering in all over Ukraine by now. And for sure all over Russia.
To think he is now competing with those dinky little cane trains, which are just two sizes up from a Hornby kids trainset.

Hallward twice has poo pooed the idea that R&D expenditure is bullshit. The crank, doesn’t seem to understand that expenditure is essentially another word for resources , whether it’s human or a combination of human and machine assistance.
Of course, not everything in which resources are tipped in will work. That goes without saying. And yes, fusion could have been a engineering problem since the 50s. That doesn’t mean shit. Some very complex things like cancer and fusion require a ton of human intelligence and other resources thrown at it. FMD, he’s an oppositional fuckwit.
Some people also pretend they’re like real STEM junkies. However, climate science in the 70s was possibly the lowest level of science being taught. It was basically weather divining.

The soft soap SMH piece about the trial highlights to me the extremely lax nature of security at Parliament House.
Unfair.
Lehrmann was a high flyer with a massive sense of entitlement, knocking back his request for entry was bound to have ramifications for the recalcitrant.
How or why did they allow drunk people inside the building and into ministerial offices?
See above answer.
Drunk people do stupid things and familiarity with Lehrmann and Higgins is no excuse for not exercising caution and proper process.
See the above.
Lehrmann said he wanted to get his keys. Security could have performed that task without the couple setting foot in the building.
If Lehrmann only wanted his fucking keys, why did he dismiss the cab at 1:20 am?
Is security at parliament union protected?
Unions only purpose is to set worker against worker.
You’d wanna be a long way up the Parliamentary Union food chain to get away with refusing entry to George Brandis protege big Brucie.
And even then, your days would be numbered.
Again, did you miss the combat exp. part too? BTW, I think your impression of the fighting in Chechnya is askew. You don’t suffer military losses in the tens of thousands simply twiddling your thumbs.
It made a difference for the UKR until August. They used their Territorial Defense units, among other units like Azov, as their shield until they could field their reserve in sufficient numbers to launch their recent offensives.
Order more equipment? The time between this order and say, HIMARs to reach the front is about 2 years, I think. They are going to have a similar problem with Javelins, and so on. And their donations aren’t a drop in the bucket either. They are already exhausting their stock of equipment, munitions, etc. for select items.
Their gains this last month have bought them territory, but they would only be wildly successful had they also destroyed or captured large numbers of RUS equipment and servicemen, however, we just haven’t seen that. Even the most recent battle in Lyman, the RUS garrison was able to retreat and reform outside of Kreminna, and there are reports overnight that they retook Dibrova. Might be worthwhile not counting the chicks too early.
I am so sorry for you HT.

Okay, they were genocided. I will accept that if the following is also accepted as fact:
Their victors were white settlers, colonial police, UK military and other Aborigines.

He’s never had skin in the game, except the fabricated stuff. In St. Ruth’s case he said he was going to ram through the borders in someone else’s Kenworth to see his ‘elderly parents who have no-one to care for them’. Except he didn’t do that. All yap.
Then his ‘elderly parents’ did have someone to care for them the whole time. He said this. All yap.
Then he wouldn’t dare go to SA to see them because ‘the situation may change’, notwithstanding that the main aim – seeing Mum and Dad – would have been achieved. All yap.
There is a very large backstory in here somewhere, and as mentioned earlier I suspect it’s got a bit to do with St. Ruth being a loud over-opinionated cultish wrongologist that his own near and dears are heartily sick of. So, he contents himself with yapping at faraway strangers.
St. Ruth is an undisputed world champion at promising UFC, and delivering KFC.
On the other hand it could be getting vaccinated was a prudent sensible decision for people over the age of sixty or with conditions like diabetes and the vaccine did and still does in fact provide a measure of protection against the risk of hospitalisation and death for people in those categories.
Saying it was useless dangerous
everyone who got vaccinated is going to die, is just an opinion, not a ‘the science is settled’ fact.
The fact is Australia has one of the lowest death rates from covid in the world. Why is that?
And pretending that vaccination was purely political or surrendering or whatever is merely a narrative.
I suspect the majority of people have zero qualms about the decisions they made.
In fact it is preposterous and outrageous to be railing at people at risk from covid to not get vaccinated.

Dodgy decision. Hit outside the line. Justifiably disappointed.
Some of you…like KD were in an emergency situation and had to take the poison from communists
Most of you didn’t
The problem is the denialism
As if it never happened.
I stood my ground and didn’t get jabbed
I don’t mind sitting back watching those who took it to save a job or to be able to go to Bingo die off.
But it’s fucking watching the “she died of mean words”denialism.
You know what they did to you and you know you’re going to be for the next world soon enough because of it.
You should want vengeance.
Instead you’ll go to your graves pretending it didn’t happen.

I suspect the Western military-industrial complex is superior in capacity to that of Russia over whatever term you like, given the US on its own spends more than ten times as much per year. Their donations to Ukraine are a drop in the bucket compared to their overall budget.
Such comparisons need careful investigation. Western military budgets have a high share of personnel costs (salaries, pensions, housing, ticket punching training courses and so much more). Expenditure on ammunition and other consumables might well be higher proportionally in Russia (and also Ukraine).
Any jabbed fucker saying the unjabbed had no skin in the game needs to be seen for what it is.
A joke.

Our friends in China and Russia have got a stack of stuff coming on line. The Bidens sold the US mines to them.
Wasn’t that sale approved by Obama and Shrillary as Sec of State?

Yeah, Labor is behind including Frontier Wars at the AWM, but it’s still a good idea whatever the intentions.
Bottom line:
Australia has a warlike past and there’s no reason why that fact shouldn’t be more widely acknowledged.
If the concept of “invasion” is acknowledged and accepted, then the concept of “native title” becomes obsolete, as the High Court decision was based on Australia being settled, not “invaded”.

Do you still regard $33 billion pa as “crumbs from the table”?

I’m pretty sure the US military has satellite assets peering in all over Ukraine by now. And for sure all over Russia.
You can bet your socks on that. Cranked up to maximum resolution.
Sure!, squirrel.

‘Headed for failure’: Alinta CEO on energy transition
Australia has almost run out of time to head off an energy transition “train wreck” with action on policies to spur investment in firming capacity and achieve emissions targets lagging ever further behind what is needed, according to one of Australia’s leading energy bosses.

I will say that while Ukraine’s gains during the current counter-offensive have been considerable in square acreage, I suspect Kherson is the culmination of their strategy. If they don’t retake it before the tide inevitably turns, they will consider it somewhat of a failure.
And some good memes.

Indeed. At the time of Mabo, the silks representing the native inhabitants accepted on behalf of their clients, at least twice, that the nation was, in fact, settled. This was extensively reported at the time. If they had gone down the invaded route, that would have wiped native title straight out the door. There are many international precedents, conventions and laws that the HC could not possibly ignore. The native title proponents knew this with 100% clarity and certainty.
Speaking of escalation:
Speedbox, your wife is from that part of RUS. How will they view this?
People are but they have other issues to deal and need a distraction from the circus.
Look struth take up a hobby, like fishing.
The story in the NYT the other day about the US blaming Ukraine for an assassination shows that the Yanks don’t really have full control over their client state. Maybe that is also the story behind the Nord Stream pipes. Could also be the explanation for that bridge to Crimea on fire. If you were the Ukes, why wouldn’t you keep escalating? Your country is already on fire.
