Agree.
Problem is where to?
One nation is threading water, after all these years you’d think they’d had a wider following in view of the failure of the other major parties.
They would be the natural contenders and successors if they could get their organisation in order.
Although, they would have to get rid of their most wacky ideas.
Mark Steyn last night on GB News described Conservatives as….useless, hollow, unprincipled, nothing husks.
A perfect description for our Liberals too.
I have devised a new criteria for selecting a new doctor.
If they can explain to you what a woman is in one sentence, then they are your new doctor.
It is an undisputed fact that men considered ‘hot’ by the giggly feminine collective do not, have not and will never rape women.
When they recover/wake up/are confident they weren’t embarrassed in public, and they realise the bloke was ‘hot’ – not necessarily by her own standards, mind you, but by the standards of her inner coven – rape goes out the window and it becomes ‘oh that’s all right then’.
It becomes empowering for them instead, and a subject of flattery-based discussion among the said inner circle.
Farage also.
Farage: Conservative Party ‘Is Now Dead’, Globalist Hunt and Labour ‘Virtually Identical’ (18 Oct)
Yep. Same here.
On the “Hen”… there may be a sliding scale in play here.
The scene – Paris 2014, open air restaurants near the forecourt of the Sorbonne. A group of well dressed young women are proceeding from table to table, the “leader” wearing a little frizz of tulle on her head, complete with a tiny Hollygolightly tiara. Giggling, she and her entourage are handing out little red felt hearts to all the men in the area (they must have made hundreds of them). Even the Beloved gets one, confused but pleased he’s still considered a “contender”.
Fast forward – York 2022, pub by the Ouse. A group of corpulent, sequinned mini-skirted females shamble through the front door, demanding entrance to the pub regardless of their obvious inebriation. The bouncer rolls his eyes and steps back. You know it’s a Hen by the piece of glitter tulle on one head, supplemented by something written on sashes across their bosoms. The Beloved ogles, wondering if they’re some sort of street entertainment finished for the night.
Culture, societal collapse, or the luck of the draw – could be anything or all of them. But it isn’t for the better.
“Where have you been the last twenty years, rosie?
Asleep or in a coma?”
Any evidence, at all, that the French are lenient with child rapists and murderers before you have a silly slap at someone who’s views on Islam ought to be pretty clear after nine years here.
Twelve men good and true, thank you very much. All day, every day. The alternative is a judge-only trial. A trial judged by someone chosen by whoever is on top of the political totem pole at that time.
You put your life in the hands of whoever’s in charge of the jurist roster. Jurors have always been the target of complaints, but for the most part they are more grounded in everyday life than judges and therefore more likely to see through bullshit stories instead of approaching them from a purely theoretical basis.
The sole exception is what they already do on occasion – select judge-alone trials for extremely complex financial deception matters way above any expectation of realistic understanding from Joe Mortgage.
Speculating on what the jury will do is “shooting the breeze”, but it’s what we do and quite often one sees matters in a new light. So here’s a thought ponder on.
Reports of Drumgold’s address suggest that the Crown’s case theory rests heavily on proving that Lehrmann wanted Higgins alone in the Ministerial suite so that he could rape her. Critical to this proof was evidence of his inconsistent and implausible reasons for his going into the suite, and his behaviour on leaving in the Uber. On one construction, the facts support this theory, as well as damaging his credibility.
And it is on just these topics that Lehrmann would have been vigorously cross-examined. But of course he wasn’t. Whybrow might have advised him that they had a strong case, and there was no point taking the risk that cross-examination might damage the case.
But there is also the risk that the jury might – notwithstanding the CJ’s direction to them not to do so – reason that Lehrmann’s failure to give evidence adds strength to the Crown and weakens the story he told in his police interview.
FWIW – which is nothing – my guess is a hung jury.
As expected, Danchenko is found not guilty on all charges.
The narrative peddlers who haven’t said anything about the case since it started will be along shortly to promote what any good surrogate is meant to promote.
Knuckles
There are better options than a one judge trial. But this is too big a topic to take up here and now.
Mater:
That is as scary as.
And I’ve a feeling if you had done a ‘what if’ and posited her husband or son in that position, she’d rationalise it ‘but that’s different’.
No wonder men are walking away from women. Why would you risk it?
“Harvey Weinstein boned Newsom’s wife.”
Something for Newsom to ponder while affectionately* kissing said wife. Where have those lips been before?
*These people are all psychopaths, affection is not an available menu item.
Cardinal Pell always struck me as being a manly man, sort of the opposite to a Biden man.
As for women bad, men bad, I’m thinking about the same proportion of each.
As for anecdotes about hen’s/bucks nights, the person of my acquaintance who was chaste pre marriage given the gift of a venereal disease by her new husband after his buck’s night’s adventures is a fine example of what not to do.
The Danchenko not guilty verdict is the juiciest red meat the GOP could hope for ahead of the mid-terms.

Blood clots appearing where?
And how were they “expelled”.
Mike Spence’s advice for the ages.
“In 2002 he told The Hill that he never dines alone with a woman who is not his wife, and, unless his wife is present, will not attend a function where alcohol is being served.
“If there’s alcohol being served and people are being loose, I want to have the best-looking brunette in the room standing next to me,” he said.”
Good grief rosie! My stories were just superficial snapshots for your amusement.
That one is terrible.
Arranged marriages never work.
It would if anyone had ever heard of him. Very few in the US has, because the MSM refuses to report anything about Hillary’s sedition and fraud.
The jury must weigh up the totally disproportionate outcomes from whatever decision they make.
Lehrmann’s life is sunk regardless.
Britnah will sail on.
Version 2:
Rookie mistake by the new husband. Never, ever go after the stripper – if she’s been paid to throw it about a bit, it doesn’t matter if it’s the groom or anyone else, if anyone at all.
A stunning lack of situational awareness on his part.

General Electric to Lay Off 20% of its Wind Workforce (via ZH today)
In other words despite wind being a “free” source of electricity they’re losing money on it. And that’s with the incredibly high wholesale electricity prices.
Perhaps renewable energy isn’t the cheapest form of electricity that Chris Bowen keeps saying it is.
Ah right.
Not “expelled” from the bloodstream then.
Let me explain clotting for you in the circumstances you describe.
Clotting is a natural and necessary occurrence when an unexpected aperture opens up causing external bleeding to assist in closing the wound or opening.
What you describe is a snot-clot where blood mixes with mucus in the nose. It is in no way indicative of clots in the bloodstream.
Tell the old dear to stop panicking.
So here in Kerang and Woolworths have reduced their hours of trade from 7am-10pm to 10am-5pm. Haven’t been getting the Melbourne newspapers for a while. Not sure why because deliveries of fuel came yesterday.
The earthmoving blokes have been reinforcing the levees around the joint and indeed some new ones have been erected.
What I fear though is in the attempt to keep the water from the town, the farms will cop it. Spoke to a lady friend of mine who had wheat in with her husband, that appears doomed.
As always it’s just a waiting game.

Godfrey Bloom isn’t quite so complimentary.
There is no doubt that the Scheme is being rorted by the lax administration and the cowardice of any politician to stop the rorts. It is staggering – it seems anyone can set up (or steal an ABN and follow the tick-a-box process) and be a service provider without any experience and/or knowledge of the sector at all. Some service providers charge up to 30% admin fees — I remember being approached early on by a former senior staffer to a prominent Labor former Prime Minister, who said he wanted a chat with me as he was considering setting up as an NDIS service provider, I gave him short shrift saying “and what do you know about disability?” End of discussion.
Wherever there is a human need there are the activists, parasites and rorters. It is quite amazing how the human need expands to encompass all manner of conditions— the states have also cost-shifted health to the NDIS as well ,and, by changing the rules and cutting benefits on various accidents covered by insurers, the insurers have had windfall profit increases of upto 30% while those disabled by the accidents are cost-shifted to the NDIS -NSW no longer provides services at all to people with disabilities who do not qualify for the NDIS but are still in need of services –
It is an utter disgrace and costs could be reined in if there is the political will to do so, the Coalition was just too spineless to take it in hand – remembering the catalogue of the supine being: Christian Porter, Mitch Fifield, Stuart Robert, Dan Tehan, Paul Fletcher – all cowardly captives of the bureaucracy.

In 2000 the pop was 19.15 million, now it’s 25.69 million, so 6.45 million more in 20 years. So that’s around 325,000 per year. Everyone tells me that our birth rate is running at around replacement, so all those extra people must have migrated here.
That (plus dilution of value of money via inflation) is how they managed to claim we hadn’t had a recession for so long
What we did get was lower per-capita income, as much the same real GDP was spread out among a bigger population.

The contempt of the self-selected so-called “elites” for the working and trades classes becomes more overt every year. This is then added to their already open contempt for the small and medium business classes.
That the so-called “elites” now vote for parties of the (nominal) left is another reason for genuine conservatives to support the working, trades and small/medium business classes, who are also generally more socially conservative.

Yes, Tinta. And both sides of politics were fully behind setting up the NDIS, which is turning into a $50-billion-p.a. scam.
It’s socialism on steroids. There’s free money by the billion and anyone can play. You just have to devise the correct scam.
Like the rest of Australia, Tinta and her disabled son were caught up in a system that was never intended to anything other than an expensive scam which, like the NBN, was designed by politicians who never had any interest in making it work.
Australia is the world capital of the scam and the NDIS is the mother of all government scams — naturally paid for by taxpayers.

The Gaslighting of the Masses
Of course, this woman had likely never heard a single element of Brittany’s story challenged, even when it changed from what had been reported in the MSM the day before, nor been confronted with details like Lehrmann having denied intercourse from the get go – something I suspect the woman had never heard in the MSM but that she had heard from others around the water cooler that he admitted shagging her.
I would imagine one strategy a defence barrister regularly deploys is trying to convince a jury that they are smarter when they change their mind in defiance of the MSM narrative since their attachment to the narrative would have been based on the feeling of being in the know. When what happened in the trial comes out each jury member can boast how they were one of the first people to know.

FTB,
A shaped charge is specifically designed to create a super heated dollop of copper, and send it through armour in the hope that it will ignite ammunition contained within the vehicle, and cause a ‘cook off’.
A shaped charge usually only creates a small hole, not mass destruction (unless something flammable was inside…plus an oxidising agent). I think ignition of the gas can be ruled out (no oxygen). Given the grainy detail available, I’d be inclined to think it was bulk bang, not a shaped charge.

James Morrow in the Tele. Matt Canavan gives Pat Cummins a bit of a grilling:
Nationals senator Matt Canavan has challenged Cricket Australia Test captain Pat Cummins to explain why he is not comfortable with his sport being sponsored by Alinta Energy while at the same time spearheading a campaign to install solar panels with links to slave labour at cricket grounds.
This week it was reported that Mr Cummins confronted team management over a $40 million deal between Cricket Australia and Alinta on environmental grounds which was later terminated.
Yet on Tuesday Mr Canavan tweeted, “Why is the Australian cricket captain promoting a Chinese solar panel company that has been implicated in using forced Uyghur labour in Xinjiang?”
The Queensland senator, who has been an outspoken advocate for the mining industry, pointed to an article from PV Magazine Australia written last February, as well as human rights reports on slave labour in China.
In February, the solar panel trade magazine reported, “Australian Test cricket captain Pat Cummins is spearheading a campaign to have cricket clubs around the nation install solar PV systems in a bid to reduce carbon emissions, declaring it is time for the sport to do its bit to tackle climate change.”
“Cummins said Cricket for Climate’s first initiative is the installation of 10kW solar PV systems on the roofs of 15 cricket clubs across Australia,” the report went on.
“Chinese PV manufacturing giant LONGi, inverter supplier Sungrow and Australia’s largest solar distributor One Stop Warehouse have donated the solar panels and inverter systems for the first stage of the program.”
Mr Canavan pointed out that according to the Coalition to End Forced Labour in the Uyghur Region, all Chinese solar manufacturers are implicated in human rights abuses.
“Almost the entire global solar panel industry is implicated in the forced labour of Uyghurs and other Turkic and Muslim-majority peoples,” the organisation stated.
“All four of the Uyghur Region’s polysilicon manufacturers are implicated in Uyghur forced labour either through direct participation in forced labour schemes, and/or through their raw material sourcing.
“The four largest solar panel suppliers in the world – JinkoSolar, JASolar, TrinaSolar and LONGi – all source from at least one of these polysilicon manufacturers,” the group stated.
Mr Canavan said: “If Pat Cummins wants to turn cricket into the morality police, I would have thought that the human rights abuses of the Chinese Communist Party might deserve more attention than a power company that helps keep the lights on for his T20 games.”

My view has always been that they both agreed to go there together for a late nite drink from the Minister’s drinks cabinet, and a half-cuddle going nowhere came to nothing more when she took off her no-undies dress feeling hot or randy as drunks do, and passed out on him.
He then panicked and ran for his life hoping she’d recover and find her own way home; they were both ashamed in the morning, had a phone call with each other which maybe went wrong, both were worried about their jobs. When it went public the heavy lezzo team-woke pushed some false memories onto her, she went into job and reputation protection mode, and everything went south for them both.
A shame they didn’t both go home straight away from the party.
If she wasn’t implicated in some way as his ‘girlfriend’ and this was just about a life home then she could have waited in the car or down at Security.

The fight-or-flight response is more deeply ingrained than the woke conditioning to smile at and ‘respect’ things your every sense and instinct recoil from.
Agree he always said nothing happened, which would be remarkably stupid as if it did, in these days of CSI he would have to assume there would be some physical evidence, even though it turned out there wasn’t because she didn’t make an immediate report so no preservation of the scene, no medical examination and she washed her dress, at least once and probably twice.
That leans to the likelihood that nothing did indeed happen.
It’s not good enough to convict someone on a say so and he’s not an attractive man.
Maybe he just wanted to drink whisky in the office because it was free.
It makes her more ‘stunning’ and ‘brave’, which is better than ‘truthful’.
I don’t profess to know much about these matters, but why would she decline the security guards offer of medical attention, or an ambulance?
I thought I’d read something about one with him. Perhaps it was the call she made to her boyfriend.
Perhaps I am as confused about the variable sequencing as the next juror.
I hope they thrash it out well in the jury room with very clear reasoning on it all.

I’m not sure what the static pressure would be, but even assuming the maximum rated inlet pressure of 3200psi the pipeline doesn’t contain enough energy to make 20m of 40mm pipe vanish.

Obviously I’ll have Panzer KC and m0nty J on my case, but I suspect that Lehrmann’s defence is holed at the waterline by having told different three stories about why he visited parliament.
Whether that tips the balance for the jury is another matter. Although, based on my own jury experience, 5 of the jurors probably already have him bang to rights because unattractive and pasty-looking.
Where did this thing about a phone call the next day between Lehrmann and Britnah come from?
I don’t think I saw that reported anywhere.

Not at all.
That is a definite weakness in his story, but not anywhere close to the porkies told by his accuser.
The truth is, neither of them had a legit reason to be anywhere near the place at that time of night, especially three sheets to the wind.
And I think one of the porkies he told was to security before any alleged incident.
Because the truth – “we’re here to quaff the Ministerial Chivas Regal” – would have seen the drawbridge remain up.

I briefly channel surfed past Amy Schumer in an old movie a few nights back. At that time, she was “A solid 6, pleasant looking “girl next door” type.

Mizzz Higgins should look at a recent photo of Schumer, if she wants to see her future.
There won’t be a better or more accurate comment this month. We need to watch what gigs he gets, where and whos’ really paying to hear him.

Quite impressive things, shaped charges, complete with nutty professor type.
They do a lot with very little.
A small oil well perforating charge (think something like an LED downlight) will cut a neat hole through 10mm steel casing and penetrate up to a metre through cement and rock – on less than 10g of explosive.
Disturbing was that shape charger he designed for filling by the user, was made from plastic and as nutty professor said it can travel on aeroplanes with no problems
Dr F, I think a factor in the shenanigans going on around that time in Parliament House was the certainty that Short’n would win the 2019 election and many of their jobs would be gone.
Why not get stuck into the Ministerial Chivas?
So what if we get a smack on Monday? Hey, I’ll probably be something of a legend if I’m a public servant (rather than a party political type) when I get appointed to a Labor Minister’s office in six weeks time.

Looks like they’re doubling down on the stupidity.
Your lights will be going out.
After that gas will enter the discussion.
I always thought simping a very beta-male sort of behaviour.
Now confirmed.
Beazley does love a public trough. Might be hereditary. Hockey/Cormann/ … too.

You just get the feeling someone has discovered Bomber Beazley’s secret Tim-Tam stash behind the revolving bookcase.

And yet, I wonder in a year or two if she stays of the violet crumbles and smarties whether news.com.au will feature a story on “Brittany flaunts her revenge body with revealing new bikini”
Quite. They’d been on the taxpayer-funded turps all night…why not dial it up in an exciting new and edgy venue?
How she remained conscious after eleven vodka shots plus goodness knows what else suggests a well-worn and accustomed liver. Shame about the brain malfunctioning.
A fairly prominent republican, who accepted the position of State Governor of Western Australia – the Queen’s representative?

Dunkelflaute (German: [?d??k?l?fla?t?], lit.?’dark doldrums’ or ‘dark wind lull’,[1] known in meteorological literature as anticyclonic gloom[2]) is a term used in the renewable energy sector to describe a period of time in which little to no energy can be generated with the use of wind and solar power.[

You lot sound like evil Pepperpots talking about the Bruce case. Gossiping harpies, the lot of you.
ROFLMAO. m0nty-fa is a fan of Minecraft. I suppose he needs to occupy himself in the off-season somehow.
Britnah & Bruce….
Been on the turps all night compliments of Defence contractors chasing favours.
Decide to kick on to PH ‘cos they’re entitled to sneak into the minister’s office and slurp more free piss.
Chance of a mutually agreed couch mazurka on the cards.
Britnah legless, can’t even spread ’em properly.
Bruce decides, fuck this, missus has been chasing him on the phone non stop. I’m off.
Britnah, sans cottontails, flakes. Then chunders.
Drunks remorse next morning. Then two year revision with a book chance.
The rest is history.

Rubbish take Monty.
It should be a concern for everyone that in a he said she said the accuser is an angel and the accused must be the devil and guilt can be decided solely on the basis of the ‘credibility’ of the accuser.
Because (as m0nty-fa tries to forget), credibility of the accuser went so well (7-nil) in the Pell case.
Has there yet been any withdrawal by m0nty-fa of his “rockspider” defamation?
Excellent stuff.

Federal cabinet signs off on workplace bill aimed at boosting wages, despite business concerns it is ‘half-cooked’

The Liars finally managed to find Bomber Beazley’s daughter a place at the trough. Only Vic Park and State Politics though. Ben Wyatt’s old seat while he fills the boots at Rio.
No thanks. I have standards.

Fact Checked: True. It’s a bit like Chopin’s observation that nothing sounds as good as a guitar, except perhaps two guitars.
The old but accurate TV series Frontline came up with this gem when a reporter expressed disdain for his assignment to a women’s sport story:
“It’s not a Women’s Sport story, it’s a lezzo story.”
(* research needed – how many wives might find it arousing to voyeurise/imagine two men of their choosing?)
One of the most entertaining stories today is from Instapundit.
Paging Justice Mordy.
Now there’s the real story.
Not a headline grabber though.
Medicare!
“If you think health care is expensive now, wait until you see what it costs when it’s free.”
? P.J. O’Rourke
just sayin.
Reading the transcript, L was putting his hand in his pocket for at least some alcohol and was clearly not wanting to get too intoxicated with people that might be useful contacts in the future.
And there is his claim that they both agreed to return to parliament for their own reasons, for him keys/booze/fiddle with folders, none of which is particularly contradictory.
Perhaps he’d already read/heard she claimed he’d ‘diverted’ the taxi, but if that wasn’t mentioned in her media interviews it sounds honest, and more like she was manufacturing a version of events to lend weight to a premeditated attack.
JoNova firing again.
“There’s no such thing as a zero emissions vehicle”
“With an EV, you don’t eliminate emissions, you just export them.
You have to dig up about 500,000 lbs of material to make a single 1000lb battery
It takes 100 to 300 barrels of oil to manufacture a battery that can hold one barrel of oil equivalent.
Demand for those minerals (Lithium, Cobalt, Nickel) will increase between 400 and 4000%.
There’s not enough mining in the world to make enough batteries for all those people.”

Democracy in Germany is heading into a dark corner, Olaf Scholz’s centre left / far left / Green coalition government wants to ban the nationalist / populist-right AfD Party.
The AfD Party (Alternative for Germany) is the only real opposition party in the Bundestag, the main centre-right opposition party is much like our Liberal Party, i.e., another slobbering servant to the aims of the NWO.
The AfD was formed to counter unrestricted immigration and to support German national aspirations against EU dictates, their nearest equivalent in Australia would be Pauline Hanson’s One Nation Party. They have 16% of the vote and they support easing restrictions on Russia and getting the gas flowing again. As the German population start feeling the cold this winter, and as unemployment rises, then support for the AfD will increase amongst those affected.
We can’t have people voting for a party which benefits them, so there’s a move to ban the AfD.

DC jury is all you need to know.
Just one thing that puzzles me about the whole Ministerial drinkies cabinet thing – Is it normal to have a stash of alcohol in ones office? Drinking on the job? Say what?
Yes, exactly.
Big Defence Inc has a contract variation sitting on a bureacrat’s desk. Said bureaucrat thinks there is no contractual basis for variation and knocks it back.
Staff of Big Defence Inc latch onto a couple of bright young things from the Minister’s office and fill them full of piss and sob stories.
Bright young things drop the sob stories around the office for weeks.
Next thing, the bureacrat’s boss gets a Ministerial query. Now, it will never be as blatant as “hurry up and sign it”. Perish the thought that the Minister’s office would interfere in due process. It will be along the lines of a query about “delays in decision making” but everyone knows what it means. So the cash flows out of Treasury.
Drinks are expensive.
But not if they are an investment.
There are still plenty of places mandating. This is not over by a long shot.
Here’s Tan Grant’s cited article
It finishes with the following. All you need to know about it.
Apparently China never exerted humiliating power over its neighbours, either.
Another ahistorical arsehole.
Not in the real world it isn’t.
Around the time we first heard of The Adventures of Britnah, there was a fleeting suggestion that Parliament House might become a dry workplace.
That suggestion disappeared quicker than an aspiring rapper with a TV under his arm when flashing lights come around the corner.
sTan sees the world in shades of brown.
You suspect Humpy wouldn’t support removing the sherry.
It’s very Persian: first discuss an important decision whilst sober, then discuss it again pissed as a newt.
A shot of vodka (30 mls) is one standard drink.
At 40% it contains 12 mls of alcohol.
A bottle of wine at 13% contains 8 standard drinks.
A full strength stubby contains about 1.3 standard drinks.
So, Britnah has had the equivalent of 8-9 stubbies, or one and a third bottles of wine.
Depending upon how accustomed you are to alcohol and other factors (food intake and duration of session mainly) you could be somewhere from “pissed but in control” to “absolutely legless”.
One thing about Beazley; he took the Governor job despite being a republican, but he DID the job. He might not fit down the turret of an APC these days, but he is of the generation before the lies-are-reality values of today’s Left.
I do get the distinct impression that Rafiki longs for a return of the Spanish Inquisition.

The Depopulation Agenda
I’m twice her weight so it’d be 17 stubbies for me.
Enough to be seeing pink elephants.
No wonder they had to call in the steam cleaners next morning.
Been thinking about the population increase between 2000 and 2020, the population increased by 34%, in the same period GDP increased from $657.75 Billion to $2,108 Trillion an increase of $1.451 Trillion, so GDP increase of around 280%, in the same period inflation was 73.29%. So if I’m right with my arithmetic, in 2020 we should’ve all been around 2 times better off then we were in 2000.
I’m certainly not, so who my share, or have I figured it out wrong?
