She told the court that the photo had shown up in phone data as late as January 21, 2021.
There is a simple, albeit potentially impolite method of checking.
Is the image of a normal sized leg, or a big fat leg?
KD, the photo was on Daily Mail a week or so ago until it was pulled. It was a big fat leg, and, it was of a bruise on the “outside” of the “right” leg. She stated the bruise was on the inside thigh of her left leg.
I believe her pants are burning, big time.
Thankfully I am not allowed to view the Oz. However, the teaser runs thusly:
Let’s just take this bit in isolation from the noodle-armed whiner:
If Haigh, or anyone else can justify how the game of cricket failed David Warner it would be greatly appreciated.
Cricket spent a number of years and a great deal of money converting Warner from a specialist short-form slogger into a Test opener, because they thought they needed a newer version of Hayden and/or Slater – both aggressive openers with the capacity to take matches away from the opposition early.
He was the first bloke since 1877 to play for his country without having played a single first-class match.
The game Haigh says failed Warner gave him untold millions of dollars, an international profile and opened the door for even more rivers of cash from the IPL and other T20 franchise deals.
The ‘sliding doors’ nature of cricketers in favour, and more accurately the cash invested in Warner also effectively saw out the likes of Simon Katich, Phil Hughes and Chris Rogers as fixtures in the top order.
Tucker Carlson tells Zelensky to ‘go away’ after aid demands
The US has its own critical needs it can spend billions of dollars on instead of sending it to Kiev, the Fox News host argued
Ukraine’s “Christmas list” of demands for more assistance from the US should be rejected by Congress, popular conservative TV host Tucker Carlson said as he lashed out at President Vladimir Zelensky for his latest request of tens of billions of dollars to keep his government afloat.
Speaking during his Thursday show on Fox News, the top-rated commentator dismissed the Ukrainian president as a “celebrity-endorsed dictator of the most corrupt nation in Europe.”
“What? Some uppity foreigner in a T-shirt demanding money for his ‘critical economic needs’? We have critical economic needs too, buddy. Who are you, troll? Go away!” Carlson said, responding to the request. He asked the US leadership if the Ukrainian president had a claim on the nation’s treasury.
On Wednesday Zelensky asked for $55 billion in assistance from the IMF and the World Bank, citing a need to rebuild his country after damage caused by Russian airstrikes and to keep his deficit-running government afloat. Washington previously extended sovereign loan guarantees to facilitate Kiev’s borrowing.
The Fox News segment was focused on criticizing the progressive caucus in the US Congress, particularly Democratic representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, often referred to as AOC. Carlson pointed out that all Democrats in the House repeatedly voted to spend billions on sending weapons to Ukraine, which he argued brought into question the credentials of the left-wing “squad.”
Instead of funding the conflict, AOC and other self-described progressives should have worked to “break the spell of hypnosis that the US Congress is under” and stop it signing off on Zelensky’s “Christmas list,” Carlson noted, adding that AOC is a “stealthy neocon operative” rather than what she claims to be.
The episode also featured independent journalist Aaron Mate, a supporter of AOC’s progressive domestic policies and a critic of what he calls the US proxy war with Russia in Ukraine. He suggested that the Democratic party remains influenced by “the propaganda campaign known as Russiagate,” which made calling for diplomacy with Moscow risky for US politicians.
“For six years, Democrats have been taught to believe that Russia is an existential enemy that can brainwash millions of Americans into not supporting Hillary Clinton and swinging [the 2016] elections,” he said

Extrapolating, this means that fusion won’t be the panacea we think it is, although it will still be much better than wind or solar as it will be baseload with minimal physical footprint. Again, while the energy itself may be effectively free, ya gotta harness it.
And if it is “carbon neutral”, it will be the real and true test of intent pushed by the likes of Robert Grift a’ Court and others. No doubt they will file it under “nucular” and say it will take too long or some other bullshit, but be proof that they don’t give flying rats arse about da environment.
But the sheep will still follow Judas goats all the way to the slaughterhouse.

Warner got half a million dollars each year from Gray-Nicolls. $500,000 for using their bats. The game gave Warner Lamborghinis, trophy wives and ensured he would never actually work a day in his life.
And then he shat all over the people who gave him all that, as well as the cricketing public by engineering and participating in the blackest scandal to kick the sport in the nuts in the last hundred years.
The vice-captain and ‘ball manager’ at mid-off, ensuring the pill was good to go before giving it to the bowler. Co-opting an even stupider player to secrete sandpaper in his jocks to rough the pill up, and using his personality to scare off an effeminate ‘captain’ who was more interested in hair product and Chinese bed sponsorship bat stickers than captaincy.
He should never have been permitted to play the game at any level for the rest of his life, let alone return to the international team, let alone be considered for any form of leadership role.
You don’t bring this fuckwit back into the fold because ‘ohhhh there aren’t any options’. For fuck’s sake, there’s already a fast bowler as a captain which is bad enough. This is an indictment on Cricket Australia’s succession planning, nothing more.
Get fucked, Gideon Haigh – and get fucked, Cricket Australia.
The Australian netball team is reportedly rebelling against the sponsorship of Gina Rinehart by refusing to wear new uniforms which include the Hancock Prospecting logo.
Hancock’s c. $15m sponsorship, announced this year, rescued Netball Australia from a $7m black hole incurred during the covid lockdowns.
A former team captain who called Hancock a “climate denier” has led the campaign via Zoom calls to current team members.
I have a double-vaxxed, boosterd and bed-ridden sibling who is now walking with a walking stick because she cannot tolerate any weight on her right leg. She says the pain is unbearable and has already had a cortisone injection at the site of the greatest pain, to no effect whatsoever. She has had x-rays and ultrasounds which have discovered nothing and is now awaiting an MRI procedure.
At the same time she has now developed a worrying swelling in the abdominal aorta, discovered by an ultrasound – I glanced briefly at the report and saw a mention of aneurysm — I have been sleepless with worry about her – she has to wait until 28 October to have an MRI of that — I am concerned because in our family there is a history of sudden deaths from aortic aneurysms – an aunt and a cousin both on the maternal side of our family and an aunt from a brain aneurysm on our paternal side of the family – her GP doesn’t seem to be worried. My sister is only 62
The netball princesses need a short, sharp shock in market economics. 12 months stuck in Australia should help.
I hope Gina Rinehart withdraws every penny of sponsorship, and leaves the netball team to stew in their own fvcking juice..
What say the Commonwealth awards contracts on merit and benefit to the tax payer?
Problem solved.
Well, duh. If you loosely define something, people will adopt or disown as they please. And the more money you put on the table, the bigger the prize, and you don’t need to be Einstein to figure that out.
Akso, as someone who is active in the job market, the volume of roles set aside for indigenous folk has predictably ballooned to the point where there is overt discrimination against everyone else. So much so that the first thing I look for is whether it is set aside so I don’t waste 30 seconds reading about a job I can’t get because of my heritage. Of course, nobody could have foreseen this /sarc.
Former captain. Guessing Liz Ellis

The ex-captain is Sharni Norder, married to Luke Norder.

Surprise surprise.
Sharni Norder, nee Layton:
“I did a zoom with the players just to educate them on doing right by the sport but also doing right by yourself and honouring your own values.
“I just wanted to have a conversation is that money worth your reputation and what you stand for as a person?”
“Just so they are making good decisions for themselves because they represent the clubs and our country but also themselves.”
“We have put too much into our sport to give social licence to a company who’s (sic) profit-at-all-cost attitude puts our future in danger. Be better”.
They can’t help themselves.
Netball may be a team sport but self interest is a two horse race.
Sharni would like that taxpayer cash to keep flowing into the bank account.
The chance that a Labor NACC would go after “non-Indigenous people and organisations” is nil point nil due to Justice Mordecai Bromberg.
Should’ve thought about that at the time Labor and land council peoples.

A small business that I’ve dealt with for a number of years is closing today. Previous to this announcement the business had approximately five branches.
Apart from the branch I dealt with, which closed about a month ago, all the others were in Sydney – and all on the north shore.
The manager of the local branch told me that their passing trade had dried up when another small business next door had closed so when their own lease was due to be renewed, the owner decided against continuing.
I wasn’t aware of what was happening to the Sydney stores until I received an email this morning to advise that the last shop was closing today.
This was a very successful business. The evidence of which was in the number of years it traded – 53, in all. It stocked what the customers wanted, had a loyal client base and employed possibly 25+ people across the branches.
From all the evidence it was a successful business – at least before the covid. During and post covid, it would seem, not so much.
But thanks to centralised government, bureaucratic ineptitude and malevolence, and political and economic stupidity, over the last 2.5 years, the management of this business was taken away from the owner and a series of decisions by others who had not interest in the enterprise broke this business.
“All Hail Scummo” for doing what not even the “Great Gough’s Government” could do to this one small family concern.
Netball Australia might have trouble finding any sponsors at all, if they insist on sticking to Sharni’s “values”. Lots of other sports would like attention from Ms. Rinehart.
Beats AFL.
Anyway, Norder suggests there were other sponsors available, but the only other offer on the table, reportedly, was less than half what Rinehart was offering, which would have left Netball Australia still in debt.
Meanwhile, the team just lost to NZ in the Constellation Cup opener.
Sancho Panzer:
Any nurse stupid enough to think that needs a jolly good kick up the freckle.
Gina Reinhardt should simply yank the sponsorship money from Netball Australia and let them pay for their own costs. There will then be very little travel and other carbon-generating activities so the environment “wins”.

As I understand it, the issue about Hancock Prospecting sponsorship of netball has nothing to do with Gina. It stems back to comments made by Lang back in 1984.
So, 38 years ago, somebody said something, that hasn’t been repeated, and the person who said it is long dead …… but you can stick your $15 million ‘cos …… well, just ‘coz and …. if it sinks netball ….. we had a zoom call….. we’re anti gambling and anti smoking too…..there are plenty of others who will sponsor us……
Sharni Norder is she related to Laura?
Is it just me or does the world appear more stuffed than usual today?
I hear Walker is smashing Warnock in the debate for Georgia Senator.
Would this Sharni Norder be related to a certain Lauren Norder?*
I couldn’t resist it.
Snap, Eyrie!
That’s merely an addendum due to the team having an indigenous player.
Norder is quite a piece of work.

Tinta, so sorry to read that.
Re the pain, my close relo has been seeing a cranial osteopath for the dreadful migraines and neck pain she’s experienced since she had the jabs – AZ x2. The osteopath said her condition is the result of all the inflammation now in her body. The treatment is the only thing to date that seems to have helped, though when she’s tired it is worse.
(Only making the suggestion re her pain level).

On the subject of Mizz Higgins and her “flexible” memory, this seems to have been the timeline of the white dress.
March 2019, worn, sans at least knickers, and possibly other underwear, on the night of the alleged incident.
Thrown under the bed in a plastic bag, not worn again, given a “symbolic’ wash around six months later (September 2019), and thrown away.
Photo shows her wearing it about two months after the alleged incident. Oops.
Complaint to police formalised early 2021.
But, unless I mixed up the dates, the AFP forensic officer who tested the dress for “residue” said during the week that she did the tests in early 2021.
So, if I read that AFP officer’s evidence correctly, how did a dress allegedly thrown away around 18 months earlier suddenly become available for testing?
My Mil is selling her pub for next to nothing and moving in with us for the same reason, BBS.
And as it turns out they needn’t have been concerned about Lurch.
Norder is quite a piece of work.
Ok. I don’t know of this person.
But I was struck by the flippant approach – namely that the Hancock sponsorship can be easily/readily replaced. I was aware that Netball Australia had some deep financial issues and I’ll bet my socks they were doing the rounds looking for sponsors, then, enter one Gina Hancock. Yay, we’re saved!! $15m over 4 years. I’d say the Board were relieved ‘Phew, that was close’.
Wonder what they’re saying now?
But apparently, they needn’t worry as new multi-year multi-million dollar sponsors are available. /sarc

I’m a TikTok influencer, not a lawyer, but as I understand things, unless the defence puts Lehrmann up for cross examination next week, the porkies he’s apparently told (to PH security and cops) will stand unchallenged.
Given it’s a forensics-free, ‘she-said he-said’, Our Brinny’s bit of court room theatre and passive aggressive responses to defence counsel’s questions on Friday seem like smart strategy to get a jury over her own ‘misremembering’.
A couple of days’ rehearsal probably helped quite a bit.

No doubt.

Yikes!
Staff at an all-boys private school in Melbourne’s bayside suburbs have been told to stop referring to male-presenting students with gender-specific terminology.
In a letter sent to teachers and school staff this week, St Bede’s principal Deb Frizza said they should no longer label students using the words “boy”, “young man”, or “Beda Boy” – the term used when referring to alumni of the secondary school.
It comes after other Victorian schools’ attempts to become more inclusive of non-binary and queer students.
The letter, seen by the Herald Sun, is understood to have been sent following updated Victorian Child Safe Standards that were revised in July this year.
“As part of this, along with other schools, we are looking at the language we use,” Ms Frizza said.
“Can I ask that we start to use gender neutral language in our communications where possible? I know it can be challenging when communicating with the parents of senior students and calling them ‘children’, so if anyone has a better gender neutral term than this, please let me know.
“The use of the term ‘student’ rather than ‘young man’ or ‘boy’ can easily be made. I’m yet to find an alternative for ‘Beda Boy’, and given the history of this term, we would need to think carefully on any changes here.
“Of course any homophobic racist or other derogatory names/phrases should be challenged at all times.”
The revised child safety standards require schools to: “Pay particular attention to the needs of children and young people with disability, children and young people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, those who are unable to live at home, and lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex children and young people”.
The wider school community was advised of the shift away from gendered language in a separate newsletter.
“As a college, we are in the process of aligning our internal policies to these new Victorian standards, which came into effect on 1 July 2022. As such, we, along with all Victorian schools, are examining the language we use, and the impact this may have on the diverse groups referenced in the above standards,” it said.
Ms Frizza said the language change followed consultation with all staff at the Catholic school, who were reportedly supportive of using gender-neutral terms.
But one teacher at the school, who wished not to be named, told the Herald Sun that staff were not specifically asked about gendered language, but rather a broader discussion about how the school could be more inclusive.
“The parents were told that this was a whole school decision, but all teachers were not consulted,” he said.
“It’s outrageous that you can’t refer to the students as boys and young men.”
But recent research conducted by Western Sydney University revealed that 82 per cent of parents want gender and sexuality taught to students from kindergarten.
St Bede’s is among a string of schools in Victoria adopting more inclusive language and school policies.
Springvale’s Killester College scrapped female bathroom signage and strict uniform policies that once required all students to wear a skirt or dress.
Toorak College in Mt Eliza revised its traditional uniform policy and now avoids female- specific terms when addressing cohorts with non-binary students.
Mentone Girls Secondary College allows students to choose whether they want to wear skirts or pants.
Last year, the former federal government’s proposed religious discrimination bill was thwarted when members crossed the floor to vote with Labor to amend the bill to protect trans students from being expelled because of their identity.
It is illegal for schools to discriminate against a person because of their sexual orientation, gender identity or intersex status.

I have checked four different types of phones this morning. One i-phone and three different Android brands. All of them either show date-time stamp on the photo, or it can be recovered with “show details”. Why did the AFP officer not just do this, or put forward an explanation as to why this common smartphone feature didn’t work on Britnah’s phone?
(Standby for an explanation of phone tech from Alexander Googles Bell).

John Larter is a former NSW medic who runs a podcast called Club Grubbery (type in Club Grubbery on Google and should find Graham Hood on Facebook where the podcasts are posted). Does them with Graham Hood the ex Qantas pilot who has been prominent at rallies. In a recent podcast he mentioned NSW Paramedics who have not taken the relevant next shot are required to wear N95 mask and can’t sit with their colleagues at meals. They would be the same guys they share the vehicle with and mix socially with off duty. It is not about health but about coercion to ensure take the next one.

From the article you posted:
A wave of civil unrest is spreading across the world, as the costs of climate and environmental policies hit home. The Dutch farmers’ roadblocks and the sacking of Sri Lanka’s presidential palace have been the most prominent upheavals. But there has been unrest in Germany, Spain, Italy, Argentina and a number of African countries too.
The energy crisis is probably even more pressing: most of Europe faces a serious possibility of rolling blackouts this winter and even, in a worst-case scenario, people being unable to heat their homes.
Mrs Speedbox has been talking to a friend of hers who married an Italian fellow and they live somewhere in far northern Italy. I have never met this woman but Mrs Speedbox was talking to her by phone a couple of nights ago.
According to the friend, the situation is “four times worse” than is reported in the press. She claims that new wood burning heaters have completely sold out and even though that style of heater has been somewhat less popular and discouraged due to ‘climate change’ in favour of gas, people are also now checking their flues or chimneys in anticipation of firing up older units. Wood and wood pellets (briquettes?) are in high demand. Purchase of tape to seal window sills is de rigour along with door sealing kits being installed or replaced. Torches and spare batteries are flying off the shelves. Non-perishable food is being stored. Effectively, it’s like the clock has been wound back 30 years or more.
According to the friend, people are genuinely worried that this winter will be brutal due to the lack of alternative heating (gas) and likely disruption to electricity supply and/or the cost of either. She also commented extensively that people “are very angry” that it has come to this. The talk in the markets is deeply critical of politicians throughout the EU, not just Italy. People are pissed off and their mood is unlikely to improve as the weather continues to cool, then freeze.

For the 15th time, I didn’t say it would never happen, just that it was extremely high risk for anyone from the DPP to brief her mid-stream in her evidence.
Career ending risky.
Instead of the usual “….. lol-ing” and idle speculation, can you point to any witness who gave evidence during her “sabbatical” and how it informed her short stint in the box on Friday?
You know, some actual reading and research on the matter.
Just one little example of something said Monday to Thursday and a resultant “clarification” by Britnah on Friday.

Jeez, if I have ever seen a witness who exhibits all the signs of not being coached, it is our Britnah.

Preach it. A distracting activity for the girls, so they may remain occupied while blokes run around the paddock. Exhibit A: Every country football league in the country.
No no.
The cash should go to porn and prawn nights and petrol vouchers for all country footy clubs. When questioned (which she shouldn’t be, as it’s her cash to do with as she damn well likes) a one-line statement: ‘Well, the wokey entitled moles didn’t want it.’
The price you pay for taking advice from Bandana’s woman.
I’m expecting a no verdict but that is predicated on the irrational assumption that the jurors will understand the concept of beyond reasonable doubt.
By the way, no-one suggested that there has been no discussion, coaching or rehearsing of trial Q&A beforehand.
The only question was around Britnah accessing evidence of other witnesses during the trial and before she had completed her evidence . It was accepted it might come from the Team Britnah pit crew, but it is extremely high risk for a practising lawyer to engage in that skullduggery.
Part of the commotion is down to a few remarks Lang Hancock made about indigenous Australians FORTY YEARS ago, and, now the team has an indigenous member, their feelins are hurt.
I genuinely hope Gina Rinehart pulls the $15 meg.

No, criticising legal folk is fine sport. Here, and everywhere. It’s only ‘fraught with danger’ if you don’t understand the process.
For clarity. Every single prosecution witness – every last one of them – is ‘prepped’ by the Crown legal team before they give evidence. One reason is that the ‘legal folk’ want to ensure that the evidence they will give is substantially the same as that provided in their earlier statements – and that they don’t go off on tangents and want to talk about ‘the bigger picture’ and band camp stories. This ensures the prosecution strategy remains intact.
The other reason is that witnesses, in general terms, are not used to giving evidence in court. They will be told what the process is, and to answer questions politely instead of telling the other side’s barrister to go fuck themselves and start arguments with the judge. Sometimes this happens anyway.
To make sure the integrity of a witness’ evidence is not compromised, they are banned – no ifs, no buts – banned from the courtroom until after they’ve given their evidence. If you’re the second, third or tenth witness on the list you don’t get to be inside the court until after you’ve given your evidence.
If Brih-nee Commando was given a sniff of any evidence given by anyone else while her own evidence was part-heard, it would be career suicide for the prosecution barristers because this can be spotted a mile away. It is very noticeable and will result in either a mistrial or a result against her, regardless of the strength of her evidence. After that will come the industry smackings and sackings for her legal team.
And that’s how babies are made.

Australian wheat yields plummet after decades of global heating, study finds
It’s the turdball times so its BS. The 2nd last paragraph of a long article full of alarmism and end of agriculture hellfire states:
He said wheat yields were increasing “due to the ingenuity of growers” coupled with research, adding: “Growers continue to adapt and produce crops despite the challenges thrown at them.”
Here’s Jo on wheat yields. And here’s the latest from World Data. So yields per acre are down off 2017 highs but nothing to do with alarmism.

When linking the Guardian that’s a given.
That’s what the Tories are going to do to Liz.
Paski is a poisonous little moron. Dumb as dog shit but smug. They despise the people that house, feed, clothe and pay them. They also demand all the comforts and mod cons but despise the men who make/made it possible. I reckon parliament house in Canbra is full of such steaming trash.
An upcoming ABC show (Insight?) will profile individuals who have indigenous heritage but have had to struggle to prove it.
One of those interviewed is that ubiquitous fraudster Bruce Pascoe who is shown on the advertising trailer saying “its upsetting to be constantly asked to prove I am aboriginal.”
Well get used to being upset sunshine. After this show goes to air more questions will come your way.
Infact I would surmise that Paski would be something of a role model for many brain dead slags in Canbra. After all, they probably used to all watch the west wing sludge.
Just connecting some dots in the netball story…
It would appear that Netball Australia teed up the Zoom call so Captain Karen (aka Sharni Norder) could give a pep talk to the team before they met NZ in NZ for the first round of the Constellation Cup.
Norder went all SJW on them during the call and the team is now throwing shade on the sport’s financial saviour, Gina Rinehart.
To top it off, they went out and lost the game.
Chuckle.
Perth Now. “, deliberations on whether there is enough evidence to find Mr Lehrmann guilty will begin.” First I’ve heard of that, as part of the proceedings.
With qualifications, that would be a committal.
Andrew Bolt will be pizzing himself in a dark corner…
Presumably they mean the jury deliberations.
And that is one of the issues OSC. How much Aboriginality makes you thus? 1/16, 1/32 and etc etc.
Of course it should be hard to prove. Bruce Pascoe hasn’t proved beyond any doubt he is so go forth and fornicated with thyself Mr Pascoe
Women’s Rugby in Oz is cash strapped. Just a hint, Gina.
And what will make it infinitely easier to track is the suppression order.
The smug “well, it could have come from anywhere” line is taken out of play.
Instead of wondering which one of 20,000,000 Australians might have slipped a note under Britnah’s door in the dead of night, the JURDGE is dealing with a considerably smaller number of possible original sources of any leaked REAL EVIDENCES. Maybe 50-60 people, but probably no more than 100, tops.
For a lawyer in that room to do that would be playing three rounds of Russian Roulette with one chamber empty.
My guess is that the mega rich are currently doing very well and are also primed to make a mozza when the recession bites.
Your average wage earner, retiree, mid-level executive, or tradie will be hit by rampaging inflation, stratospheric interest rates, a collapsing A$, and booming unemployment.

If governments hadn’t made race a factor in the distribution of welfare and benefits it wouldn’t matter.
There should only be two factors that determine whether one gets welfare: citizenship & need.

Once citizenship is a 2 class status expect a bit of argument about which door to use. Especially if one opens to riches paid for by the other lot.
Interesting.
The Diamonds netball squad is: Karen Aryang, Karen Austin, Karen Bakewell, Karen Doran, Karen Bruce, Karen Bueta, Karen Koenen, Karen Moloney, Karen Parmenter, Karen Price, Karen Proud, Karen Turner, Karen Wallam, Karen Watson, Karen Weston, and Karen Wood.
And instigator-in chief, former captain Karen Norder, who did a zoom with the players just to educate them on doing right by the sport.
How are the rich going to make oodles through a recession.
Nothing’s paradise. But the worst thing that could happen are mass layoffs and that doesn’t appear to be happening – at least not yet. 6% , and even 10% inflation is not the end of the world. However, we do have an issue there. Tradies are currently creaming it.
My point was that those two sectors I mentioned would be clocked if there was a recession coming on. The art market appears to be doing well and although JM Morgan has built reserves against credit losses the firm made close to $10 billion in net income.
How long before our Britnah decides to identify as an aboriginal?
Just to get on another bandwagon distraction squirrel.

He should never have been permitted to play the game at any level for the rest of his life, let alone return to the international team, let alone be considered for any form of leadership role.
Spot On in spades.
This looks like the beginning of a very strange recession, Old School. It’s like nothing we’ve experienced before. Economies are getting whacked because of the war as shit like energy, some agri products and fertilizer are in short supply. I’m not even sure I would define the current price hikes as traditional inflation. An energy and some critical materials supply shock caused by the war sends prices scurrying higher is a market price signal to increase production in those things.
Bond yields are hardly a signal that we have rampant monetary inflation.
That’s as far as I can see too.
His problem is that he’s flip flopped:
Security; on the Night In Question: in for some urgent paperwork of National Importance;
CoS, after Miss Pisswreck is found floating in a sea of regurgitation: dropped in for a drink – two scotches;
Cops, two years later: in to attach tabs on a briefing note, no grog consumed.
None of this screams raping rapist. However, it also suggests truth is not a constant companion in Brucie’s life.
Not a good inference when you are relying on the steely-jawed George Washington I Can Not Tell A Lie defence.
(Particularly with a Wronged Woman screaming “You’ve ruined my life…” from the witness box.)
(And a fucking Prime Minister publicly apologising for Aussie Brinny’s terrible experience…)
I see a potential Bradbury event.

Thanks in advance.
Netball Australia could always hand Gina’s money back, with apologies.
If the second sponsor is still around they could just cover their debts and soldier on.
They could then tell the girls in the national team that henceforth they’ll each be responsible for their own expenses, supplying them with instructions on how to conduct a lamington drive.

Remember back in 2018 when Elizabeth Warren claimed to be part American Indian – turns out a DNA test suggested she was 1/1024th (which barely seems possible – the dilution is huge – but there you go).
But there does need to be some limit IMO. I might agree to direct lineage 1/16 meaning a person’s great, great, great grandparent was aboriginal but beyond that, things are getting very murky as that must be some 120-130 years ago. Back in the 1890’s births were still not always registered and parentage was not recorded, particularly in rural/remote Australia. Going back even further is fraught with issues as to the accuracy of the records (if any).
Merely saying that “I’m a native Australian ‘cos my grandma told me a story about her great grandma’s auntie” doesn’t cut it.

This is a late reply to your query. My apologies.
If you google ‘Bruce Lehrmann show cause notice” you will see a piece by Samantha Maiden on news.com.au. it relates that Reynolds informed BL on 4 April 2019 that she was considering sacking him. He responded with what some media are calling “a grovelling”
reply on 5 April. Reynolds wrote back on the same day telling him his employment ceased that day.
I think Reynolds knew about the rape allegation on 5 April. Am I wrong?
Maiden noted that BL was unaware of the allegation until “years later”. That I find shocking, and (if I am correct) Reynolds failure to tell BL … (I had better not say). If not Reynolds, someone in the Liberals should have done so.

Another joker in the pack is the summing up by Chief Justice McCallum. Trial judges are allowed latitude in expressing their own view of the facts as long as they add “In end, it’s a matter for you, members of the jury”.
An appeal court would be very reluctant to overturn a jury verdict on the ground that the trial judge crossed what is a very vague line.
Pleased to advise that at the Captain’s welcome drinks almost no-one, including the Captain on stage with his senior staff, was wearing a mask in this strongly retired demographic.

I’m amused by their advertising on social media. That’s like doing a web poll on the Grauniad.
I think we all know who the second sponsor will be … us, the taxpayer.
And Elbow will have enough front to couch it in terms of “protecting the sport from political interference”.
The trouble is, these nettie players have been fed a solid diet of “You’re worth it, grrrl!” for the last decade.
There is no reason why they shouldn’t be paid as much as AFL men apparently.
Except the AFL pulls $1 billion+ a year out of TeeVee rights and Netty is on Foxtel and Kayo with no FTA coverage. Netty Straya is very coy about what the deal brings in. My betting is that it is a lowball base figure with a ratings/subscription based incentive.
Absolutely Barry. The methodology is appallingly stupid. The throw in a lot of fancy sounding stuff to hide the fact that at root the study is nonsense.

You suspect none of the grrrls would be too keen on a keep what you kill model based on the wide angle shots of most games. Netball actually manages to pull a few thousand, well in excess of any Sheffield Shield game.

It was also reported that Lehrmann had been “fired” the week after the incident. Now whether he had been formally fired or simply suspended pending further investigation isn’t relevant. He cleaned out his desk and left the building and clearly thought he had been terminated.
And so did Britnah.
Because immediately after this is when the “on top of me” story came out to Reynolds CoS.
And why should Reynolds tell Lehrmann of the allegation? Whether she did or not is hardly relevant to the fundamentals of this case.
And, as far as employment law goes, she would have been given very clear advice not to over-egg the pudding. As a non pubic servant, he was done cold on the security breach (his second strike on such matters). A good lawyer would be advising Reynolds to stick to known facts and admissions (ie the security breach alone) and base the sacking solely on that.
Good advice, because raising rape and stolen Roses chocolates leaves it wide open to an FWA appeal.

The funny thing about that is that she turned out to have c. 50% less native American DNA than the average white American, who typically has 0.18% native American DNA according to a landmark study of American population genetics done a few years ago.
Somewhat ironically, the study was jointly conducted by Harvard UniversIty, which had for years listed Warren, a law professor at the institution, on government forms as ‘Native American’ in order to meet affirmative action targets!
What she must be at great pains to emphasise (assuming Lehrmann doesn’t take the stand) is that the jury can draw no conclusion whatsoever from him electing not to give evidence, and that he is fully entitled to the presumption of innocence.
If she does not say that loud and clear it will be knocked over before lunch on appeal.

Britishvolt gigafactory work delayed until mid-2025
Rising energy costs have delayed major construction works at Britishvolt’s North East gigafactory, its co-founder has revealed.
Earlier this month, main contractor ISG confirmed that construction work at the site had been “paused” amid design changes to the factory, which will produce lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles.
The contractor said the decision was part of the “flexible” approach being adopted by the client, with a Britishvolt spokesperson insisting that work was “progressing ahead of schedule”.
But co-founder Orral Nadjari, who stepped down from leading the project last week, has now confirmed that the facility will open later than scheduled due to the current economic climate.
Speaking about the delay to the Financial Times, he said: “It does go hand-in-hand with the fact that we have inflation, we have recession and we have geopolitical uncertainties.
“The main facility will be delayed slightly into mid-2025.”
Nadjari, who remains the majority shareholder in the project, added that rising energy costs had forced the group to halt some activity, such as steelworks, at the site near Blyth until February.
The factory, which is being built in Cambois, Northumberland, was originally scheduled to open at the end of 2023. But this was quickly adjusted to the end of 2024.
Britishvolt confirmed to Construction News that the start date for the gigafactory had been pushed back to mid-2025 due to “rampant inflation and rising interest rates”.
Although the project is now 18 months behind original expectations, the group stressed that the ongoing work to get its product to customers was still on schedule.
Britishvolt spokesperson Ben Kilbey said: “Plans remain on track and are agile and nimble to counter external market forces.
“Considering current inflationary pressures, and an increase in interest rates, we are seeing a trend in the market of revised valuations in order to continue to attract investors.
“Our key priority is the success of the business and playing a vital role in the energy transition.”
Confirmation of another delay to the project follows a report in the Guardian earlier this month that work on the site has been “severely limited” to minimise spending because of a funding gap.
The newspaper cited leaked documents to report that the project had been put on “life support” to “minimise cash out”.
In January, the government invested £100m in Britishvolt as part of a drive to produce car batteries locally, instead of relying on foreign imports.
ISG was appointed to a £300m construction contract for the Britishvolt factory in December 2020 and began phased construction on the site in September.
At full capacity, the plant is expected to have production capability for the cells of 300,000 electric-vehicle battery packs per year. The final delivery of the factory is scheduled for 2027.
ISG was approached for comment.
I can relate. Friendly soft spoken millennials telling us if we don’t accept ‘new think’ we will loose access to owe grand kid.

Over the past week I’ve been reading about the history of the Supreme Court.
It’s really fascinating to go into the court by court, ruling by ruling history.
There are some real villains who then pop up with a dissenting opinion.
Then you have dyed in the wool politic appointments who vote against the position their parties have brought before the court.
It is now such a formulaic, sanitised institution compared to the olden days.

Maybe never. At least wait until you’ve got it through the referendum.
As Tucker Carlson said today, the left’s moves always start with “just give us a bit of tolerance” but progress quickly to “if you resist this you are a problem”.
I would say beware of betting on an upcoming Democrat bloodbath. I have an uneasy feeling that if seats are statistically a close run affair, a few extra ballot dumps will appear to get the Democrat over the line. And the courts in those states may well decide outcomes. Just a hunch.
And then, when they want to go the full leftoid destructive moves following on from “a bit of tolerance” you face cancellation or worse if you so much as express a different opinion.
If your into polics/spies and the ABCs of starting WW3 rolled into one then the latest KEN FOLLETT extravagana is an excellent read .. massive tome running to 816 pages .. very good plotline(s) and several “boys-own-adventures” included make for a thoroughly decent read .. rather than me decipher it .. the back cover blurb …
The new must-read epic from master storyteller Ken Follett: more than a thriller, it’s an action-packed, globe-spanning drama set in the present day.
In the Sahara Desert, two elite intelligence agents are on the trail of a powerful group of drug-smuggling terrorists, risking their lives—and, when they fall desperately in love, their careers—at every turn. Nearby, a beautiful young widow fights against human traffickers while traveling illegally to Europe with the help of a mysterious man who may not be who he says he is.
In China, a senior government official with vast ambitions for himself and his country battles against the older Communist hawks in the government, who may be pushing China—and its close military ally, North Korea—to a place of no return.
And in the United States, Pauline Green, the country’s first woman president, navigates terrorist attacks, illegal arms trading, and the smear campaigns of her blustering political opponent with careful and deft diplomacy. She will do everything in her power to avoid starting an unnecessary war. But when one act of aggression leads to another, the most powerful countries in the world are caught in a complex web of alliances they can’t escape. And once all the sinister pieces are in place, can anyone—even those with the best of intentions and most elite skills—stop the inevitable?
Never is an extraordinary thriller, full of heroines and villains, false prophets and elite warriors, jaded politicians and opportunistic revolutionaries. It brims with cautionary wisdom for our times, and a delivers a visceral, heart-pounding read that transports readers to the brink of the unimaginable.
That’s certainly how they rolled the mainstream Protestant churches.

When will we conservatives have “a voice to parliament”?
Not looking good at the moment. The climate and energy fiasco illustrates how conservatives have been ruled out of court and no longer relevant. The former “broad church” of the Liberal Party/National Party coalition has morphed into something not very tolerant of dissenting opinions. Just ask Craig Kelly and Matt Canavan, and a few others.
Will we be told “just elect members who share your views”?
Fair enough. Doesn’t apply to everyone, though, does it?
The Dems still seem like they’re going through the motions. No urgency. Much complacency.
That does not bode well.
Black Ball (above) is correct.

Sorry I couldn’t tip Cats into it, but it was highly speculative based on the three-year-old’s faultless form and Clayton Douglas’s credentials as as a trainer, which I rate highly.
And I’d go a bit further – one election isn’t going to solve the problems that that past six years have exposed. The USA has a rot so deep from decades of march through (just let us do this little thing, that’s all we want) it’s going to take a lot of corrective actions to clean it out.
“The Australian netball team is reportedly rebelling against the sponsorship of Gina Rinehart by refusing to wear new uniforms which include the Hancock Prospecting logo.
Hancock’s c. $15m sponsorship, announced this year, rescued Netball Australia from a $7m black hole incurred during the covid lockdowns.
A former team captain who called Hancock a “climate denier” has led the campaign via Zoom calls to current team members.”
I think Gina Rinehart should state, firmly and politely, that if she’s going to be smeared this way, then she can be and will be a “cash denier”. Rinehart needs to pull the dosh….pronto. Netball Australia has been struggling for a while now and without Gina’s dosh, Netball Australia will crumble. We’ve seen this happen with RA. So, once again we are witnessing the progressive politicisation of a sport by a few activists, and what will be the outcome? As with everything the progressive left touches, Netball Australia will be destroyed financially. Go woke, go broke.

Depends on the extent of the cheating/outright fraud. If the polls are in any way accurate, that will need to be overt and gross for the DemonRats to come out ahead.
m0nty-fa will, of course, deny that cheating or fraud are in any way possible, not significant even if possible, but a Republican win will be clear evidence of massive fraud and voter suppression, even if there is a high turnout.
