Well done, Gina. Along the same lines I accidentally watched a few minutes of AWFL last eve. Two consecutive games. Crowds in their dozens. Truly awful. But the enthusiastic commentator did say that with the recent increased funding, sponsorship I think, the money had been spent on –
a) improved training facilities
b) youth netball development
c) future talent identification and mentorship
d) travel business class rather than economy
If you answered a, b or c go and stand in the corner with a dunce hat on.
Storm erupts over permanent closure of popular bushwalk trail as traditional custodians claim tourist photos of the spot are ‘culturally inappropriate’
By AIDAN WONDRACZ FOR DAILY MAIL AUSTRALIA
A decision to close a popular walking track out of respect to the original Aboriginal custodians and prevent people taking photos of it has sparked a backlash.
The Mount Warning hiking trail in the Tweed Shire, in far north New South Wales, will soon no longer be accessible to visitors.
The Wollumbin Consultative Group (WCG) and NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service have prepared a management plan unveiling plans to close it off for good.
Mount Warning, which is known by traditional owners as Wollumbin, attracts more than 127,000 hikers to its picturesque trail every year.
The WCG has deemed the site to not be ‘culturally appropriate or safe’ for hikers to use or for images to be taken of it for tourism purposes.
News of the decision to close down the site has sparked heated blowback from hiking enthusiasts.
‘The whole of Australia will be deemed cultural land before too long, and we won’t be able to climb any mountain or cross any river. Disgrace,’ one wrote on Facebook.
Another added: ‘My culture says I will climb that mountain whenever I feel like it. Sick of this over regulated country … time to start giving the finger to authority.’
A third person claimed the trail was a ‘great healthy and challenging activity’ to do with friends.
‘A truly disgusting decision,’ they wrote. ‘And to pass it off as ‘culturally inappropriate’ is a farce.’
The NSW Government announced the future of the hiking track would be determined by representatives from the WCG.
Environment Minister James Griffin said use of the track conflicted with Aboriginal cultural values.
‘The Wollumbin Consultative Group’s long-standing view is that public access to the summit is not in line with the cultural values of the area,’ he said.

Nope, not hard, but you won’t be doing it. You’ll be yelling from the very back of the peanut gallery, as usual, because you’re an empty vessel that can’t believe your unique brand of genius is not recognised by everyone around you.
You can’t write a protest song that isn’t a cover of about three others. You’re a serial failure.
If you weren’t turning the extremely righteous anti-mandate cause into a fringe-dwelling freak show it’d be something else, so nobody should be surprised you’re all yap.

OK.
So where to for sports sponsorship now?
It used to be a slam-dunk (heh!) way to ensure positive exposure for your brand.
But now?
All it takes is one or two fading “stars” to start slagging off your brand and that positive is quickly flipped on it’s head.
Who is safe?
Energy companies? Nup. Any whiff of gas or coal and they are out?
Car companies? Well, no. Cars are big polluders.
Supermarkets? Bzzzt. Plastic straws.
Gambling companies? Wut? They prey on the poor.
Alcohol companies? Are you kidding?
Coca Cola? Pepsi? Maccas? KFC? Sorry, yeah, poisoning our kids.
So what is the future of sports advertising?
Maybe they just buy advertising slots direct from the broadcasters.

The religious right don’t own the concepts of family, marriage and gender any more.
Anyone who believes that family, marriage and gender are “concepts” people can “own” rather than means by which God orders human life for the good is headed to a dark place. Once God’s order is rejected, they will inevitably seek to impose their own.
Which is what socialists of every variety do, every fucking time.

There is a genuine interest on board about this canal. A reasonable proportion on this cruise are doing this engineering marvel as part of a bucket-list (many seem old and not too well), and who can blame them for that? I don’t think we are in that category yet. Hope not anyway.
One old guy collapsed in the cinema today and had to be carried out. There is a lot of bravery in some of this travel. On our last attempt at this cruise when Covid began we got friendly with a man and his wife. He had an inoperable brain tumour, not all that old either, and I doubt he has made it back to ‘do’ the Panama. So sad for him after all the efforts he made to do it.

Boris Fluffyhead’s chutzpah is off the graph, not to mention that of his supporters.
The man who singlehandedly turned a massive victory into a shambles. The man who never saw a principle or a promise he couldn’t discard like yesterday’s underwear. The man who, with his staff, partied while ordinary Britons were imprisoned in their homes and prosecuted if they disobeyed. The man who sold out the fishing industry to the EU. The man who sold out parts of Ireland to the EU … etc, etc.
If, as is claimed, the grassroots want him back, then the party is over, red rover. Then again, look at the alternatives.

Three women go down to Mexico one night to celebrate college graduation.
They get blind drunk and wake up in jail, only to find that they are to be executed in the morning, though none of them can remember what they did the night before.
The first one, a redhead, is strapped in the electric chair and is asked if she has any last words. She says “I just graduated from Trinity Bible College and believe in the almighty power of God to intervene on the behalf of the innocent”.
They throw the switch and nothing happens.
They all immediately fall to the floor on their knees, beg for forgiveness, and release her.
The second one, a brunette, is strapped in and gives her last words. “I just graduated from the Harvard School of Law and I believe in the power of justice to intervene on the part of the innocent”.
They throw the switch and again, nothing happens.
Again, they all immediately fall to their knees, beg for forgiveness and release her.
The last one, a blonde, is strapped in and says “Well, I’m from the University of Texas and just graduated with a degree in Electrical Engineering, and I’ll tell ya right now, ya’ll ain’t gonna electrocute nobody if you don’t plug this thing in!”

Soros and the Kiev regime… Supping with the Devil
Finian Cunningham
Strategic Culture Foundation
A Jewish-born billionaire funding a Nazi regime in Ukraine to do his bidding is not beyond cynical calculation. It’s what capitalism is all about.
The NATO-backed Kiev regime is enacting new draconian laws that will banish all dissenting free speech. Any views not aligned with the regime are to be deemed treasonous and outlawed, even subject to persecution and violent repression.
The new legal powers enshrine a vicious campaign against independent media in Ukraine that has been raging over the past four years under President Vladimir Zelensky. Opposition political parties and news organizations have been shuttered, and dissenting journalists targeted with violence or forced into exile.
The toxic trend against free speech can be traced back to the CIA-sponsored Maidan coup d’état which toppled the elected government in Ukraine in February 2014.
That coup brought to power a far-right regime in Kiev that glories in past collaboration with Nazi Germany. Over one million Jews were exterminated by Ukrainian fascists on behalf of the Third Reich.
The contradictions of the Kiev regime are head-spinning. The incumbent president, Zelensky, is reportedly of Jewish heritage. Yet his regime is propped up by Nazi-toting paramilitaries such as the Azov and Aidar Battalions that form the backbone of the Ukrainian armed forces. Zelensky’s financial patron is Ukrainian oligarch Igor Kolomoisky who is also Jewish, yet Kolomoisky bankrolls Neo-Nazi paramilitaries.
Western governments who claim to be custodians of “democracy” and “freedom” have been pumping billions of dollars of weaponry to the fascist regime in Kiev headed up by a Jewish president. The Western governments and media try to square that contradiction by asserting that Zelensky’s regime is a “democracy” and by covering up the facts of its Nazi conduct. The arming of Ukraine since 2014 by the United States and other NATO members is recklessly pushing a world war with Russia. Western so-called democracies are aligned with fascism in an incipient war against Russia that could end in a nuclear catastrophe. For those paying historical attention to the real causes and geopolitics of the Second World War – the interplay of Western powers and Nazi Germany – and the subsequent Cold War, the present confrontation may come as no surprise.
The relations of one Western public figure with Ukraine are particularly awing in their incongruity. George Soros, the American billionaire philanthropist, was an early supporter of political change in Ukraine following its independence from the Soviet Union in 1991.
Through his Open Society Foundation, Soros funneled millions of dollars to promote the Maidan “revolution” takeover in Kiev. Soros worked hand-in-hand with the U.S. government and its CIA regime-change agencies, such as National Endowment for Democracy and USAID, to create “civic society groups” and a litany of media organizations that pushed anti-Russia views.
Soros’ Open Society Foundation to this day proclaims to “stand with Ukraine” and accuses Russia of waging an “assault on democracy”. The OSF has a fundraising target of $45 million which it says will be used to “protect Ukrainian civic society”.
The reality behind Soros’ virtue-signaling rhetoric is that the Kiev regime is dominated by Nazi forces that are intent on smashing any dissent and free speech, as the repressive new media laws demonstrate.
Even Soros-funded Western non-governmental organizations such as Reporters Without Borders and the U.S.-based Committee for the Protection of Journalists have condemned the shocking assault on free speech by the Zelensky regime.
This is not just an unfortunate matter of keeping bad company. Soros and the U.S. State Department, along with then Vice President Joe Biden, were instrumental in bringing the Kiev regime to power in 2014. They were instrumental in building it up as a rabid anti-Russia spearhead that repudiated the 2014-2015 Minsk Peace accords and fomented the present war with Russia.
Let’s just say George Soros has a preternaturally keen sense of predatory opportunism. A Jewish-born billionaire funding a Nazi regime in Ukraine to do his bidding is not beyond cynical calculation. It’s what capitalism is all about.
Our Lidia just needs to engineer one of her accusers before Justice Mordy B and all of her problems will be made to vanish.
It’s a matter of observation and frame of reference.
Clever play on words.

Let’s say Gina donates* $100 meg to various sports.
At the corporate tax rate of 30% she saves $30,000,000.
Out of a tax bill of $2,700,000,000.
A saving of a touch over 1% of her tax bill.
Not sure saving tax is her motivation here.
And what is this “tax write-off” bullshit? Almost everything she spends in the business is a “tax write-off” (excepting a few minor expenses like entertainment).
She could spend $15m hiring a jet to fly iron ore samples to China if she wanted.
Or $15m on decorating the crib-rooms at Roy Hill with Versacé wallpaper.

* It is a donation. Not a sponsorship. She generates zero profit from spending that money.
You can never vote for this voice thingy as there is no voice to vote on. No written down voice or anything to vote on. Just vote NO and that it is it. So these Polly Wallys want the voters to vote on a blank cheque. Just like ‘The Castle’, tell them that they are dreaming………………………….
sancho will of course … remain at the front bar
The Netball team members who wanted to show solidarity with their Abororiginal team mate must be really happy things have turned out so well.
The said Aboriginal player was upset about remarks Gina’s fathers remarks from 38 years ago. Which makes you wonder who told her about them. Probably some outsider with nothing to lose. I think she was about to debut. Must be a popular teammate now led them to victory against the awful Gina dollars.
I must admit I have zero interest in ladies netball but seem to recall it is the most played female sport in the country. Good on Gina for supporting it. The team’s attitude and her reaction to pull the sponsorship should be a lesson to all sports players who rely on sponsorship.
As Cummins has shown once you start criticising one type of sponsorship then all others will also be looked into to reveal their hypocrisy.
Like many others happy to see Gina pull the money and liked the way it was worded.
Gina might be worth billions but she also does a lot of good with it. Why waste it on those who don’t appreciate it.
Ukraine war is ‘Biden’s war’ now
M. K. Bhadrakumar – Indian Punchline – Fri, 21 Oct 2022
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Oct 18, 2022 that evidence of military personnel of United States and other Western countries having their boots on the ground in Ukraine is mounting.
The most obvious explanation to the mysterious air dash of the UK Defence Minister Ben Wallace to Washington on Tuesday could be that he was canvassing for the support of the Biden Administration for his pitch to succeed Liz Truss as Britain’s next prime minister. But another plausible explanation can be that the secret, hurried trip marked a defining moment in the conflict in Ukraine, which is showing all signs of turning into a full-fledged war.
To be sure, the Biden team cannot but be worried that London is drifting into chaos and the Conservative Party’s faction leaders scurry around like headless chicken looking for a substitute to Truss who stepped down on Thursday.
The British economy is disintegrating and the Chancellor of the Exchequer Jeremy Hunt anticipates that a cut on the defence budget is inevitable. That is to say, the Deep State’s fun and frolic in Kiev is no longer affordable. The UK is heading for hard times, the rubric of Global Britain looks delusional.
Enter President Biden. The reports from Moscow suggest that Russians have hard intelligence to the effect that Washington has demanded from President Zelensky some spectacular performance on the battlefield as the midterms in the US on November 8 is round the corner.
That adds to the enigmatic comment by a second defence minister in London James Heappey that the conversations that Wallace would be having in Washington were “beyond belief,” hinting that particularly sensitive and serious issues were on the agenda.
Indeed, after arrival in Washington, Wallace headed straight for the White House to meet up with National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, Biden’s point person for the Ukraine war. A White House readout said the two officials “exchanged views on shared national security interests, including Ukraine. They underscored their commitment to continue providing Ukraine with security assistance as it defends itself against Russian aggression.”
As British politics descends to skulduggery that will extend into months, the US will be a stakeholder.
Historically, since the World War 2, Britain led the US from the rear in critical situations involving Russia.
Indeed, Biden issued a rare statement on Truss’ exit, which stated that the US and the UK “are strong Allies and enduring friends — and that fact will never change.” He thanked her “for her partnership on a range of issues including holding Russia accountable for its war against Ukraine.” Biden underscored that “We will continue our close cooperation with the U.K. government as we work together to meet the global challenges our nations face.”
Biden has sent a powerful message to Britain’s political class signalling that he expects them to come up with a new prime minister who will faithfully adhere to the compass set by Boris Johnson on Ukraine. In immediate terms, what does it signal for the Anglo-American project in Kherson? Will it go ahead? That is the big question.
The situation in Kherson is assuming the nature of a large-scale military confrontation, as Zelensky is throwing everything into it in an attempt to wrest control of the strategic Kherson city, which has been under Russian control since March, before the midterms in the US.
In political terms, with the UK bogged down in a domestic quagmire, Biden has the option to shift to diplomacy. This is “Biden’s war” now. He is about to script his presidential legacy as the fifth of the 14 American presidents in office since World War II to “own” a war — after Harry Truman, Lyndon Johnson, George HW Bush and George W. Bush.

Well, Mrs Stencho Pantyhose. I had no idea that that you were an alleged taxation adviser. Maybe a taxi adviser or taxidermist but then again who knows………………….And you are on talking terms with ‘Gina’?………….You Tosser.
The Tories are returning like a dog to its own vomit – and we’re all going to have to eat it
The festering, reeking meat hunk that is Boris Johnson is rushing back from the Dominican Republic – and the Tories are licking their lips and preparing to gleefully swallow it down for a second time
They’re beating down a path to the television studios, they’re firing out their little social media memes, #BorisorBust, #BringBackBoris. They’re the same people who, fully seven weeks ago, were saying – with the same certainty with which they speak now – that Liz Truss was the answer to Britain’s prayers. The same people who thought the mini-Budget was a huge success; right up until the moment about an hour after it had finished, when it became glaringly obvious that it wasn’t.
It’s not merely that they’re deluded, which they are. They are a rolling clown car of human deficiencies but the one with its hand on the steering wheel is shamelessness.
But guess what? It doesn’t matter. Because there’s absolutely nothing anyone but them can do about it. It’s up to them, not us – for the fourth time in the last six years.
They just turn up on the TV to have their little contest between themselves; and the rest of us just accept what they decide, time and time again, over and over and over.
It remains scarcely believable that they have reduced national conversation to a place where Sir Graham Brady, the guy whose main job is to keep a running count of how many Tory MPs hate their own leader, has reached such a permanent level of public exposure that you wouldn’t be surprised to see him on next year’s Strictly.
Naturally, Tories are being accused of having already forgotten the events of just three months ago. But they haven’t forgotten, they just don’t care; and are hoping the public don’t care either – or that they will care a bit less in 2025 than they do now.
They don’t care that a parliamentary investigation into whether Johnson knowingly misled the House of Commons is still ongoing, and they don’t care that the evidence that has already been handed over to its investigators is devastating.
Good news Calli
FMD. The Moonee Valley Racing Club hired a whitefella with a didgeridoo to introduce Irish jockey Robbie Dolan singing Horses as a prelude to the Australasian weight-for-age championship, the $5m W.S.

I think I might like Gina very much indeed. Tough, focussed old bat. And rich to boot.
No wonder the woke dislike her.
Can’t be bothered with the rest – WordPress must have AI making stupid decisions.
Anyway, what I was getting to is that a lot of respected educationalists reckon that about age seven is when kids should start school. For example, the Montessori crowd say that, and their results are very good indeed, And, it’s not new. In Anne of Avonlea, a pair of 5-6 year old twins land at Green Gables, and young Davey Keith in particular is causing a lot of trouble.
Marilla says that her father always averred that no child should be sent to school before the age of seven. That was the rule in the Cuthbert household in Canada in the early 1900s. Much as packing Davey off to school would have made everyone’s life easier (he chased chooks till they died and loved watching pigs being slaughtered) the babysitting option was not taken.
The Montessori results indicate that there is no harm in waiting till the kids are a bit older. On the contrary. Especially for boys, who are behind the girls at that age, but catch up later.
But, the whole push of ‘progressive educationists’, whoever they are, is to put kids into some form of school younger and younger. Not aged seven, but aged three.
Presumably it is a half baked justification for expansion of the public sector.
It sure is, bespoke. I remember on old Cat – it was either Tracy or Kae who was in the same position that I’m now in, looking after parents. They are both the best of the best and sorely missed.
Lost star catalog of ancient times comes to light
Govert Schilling – Sky & Telescope – Fri, 21 Oct 2022
Technology may have revealed a piece of the long-lost works of Greek astronomer Hipparchus, one of the greatest astronomers of antiquity.
Around 130 BC, the great Greek astronomer Hipparchus drew up the very first star catalog ever, containing descriptions and coordinates of some 850 naked-eye stars in the northern sky.
At least, that’s what later sources say – copies of Hipparchus’s list have never been found. Until now, that is. Writing in the Journal of the History of Astronomy, three European scientists claim to have uncovered a small part of the long-lost catalog. “I felt nothing short of awe when I first heard about it,” says astronomy historian and writer William Sheehan.
In the 2nd century AD, Claudius Ptolemy compiled a catalog of 1,025 stars in 48 constellations to include in his magnum opus, Almagest. Ptolemy also hinted at the existence of an earlier listing, some scholars have suggested that Ptolemy’s work was based not on his own observations but on Hipparchus’s catalog.
Hipparchus was born around 190 BC in Nicaea, in what is now northwestern Turkey, but he carried out most of his astronomical work on the island of Rhodes. He made the first estimates of the distances and sizes of the Moon and the Sun, and was the first to discover precession: the slow wobble in the orientation of the Earth’s spin axis. According to astronomy historian Bradley Schaefer (Louisiana State University), Hipparchus was “arguably the best and greatest astronomer in the world before Copernicus.”
“Only one of his many books, The Commentaries, has survived,” says Schaefer, “with the most important loss being his influential star catalog.” That’s why scientists are elated about the new find. “It […] illuminates a crucial moment in the birth of science, when astronomers shifted from simply describing the patterns they saw in the sky to measuring and predicting them,” astronomy historian James Evans (University of Puget Sound, Washington) told Nature.
Peter Williams (Cambridge University, UK) and Victor Gysembergh and Emmanuel Zingg (Sorbonne University, Paris) studied the Codex Climaci Rescriptus, a 9th- or 10th-century manuscript from the Saint Catherine’s Monastery on the Sinai peninsula in Egypt. The codex, which is now kept at the Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C., contains Christian texts in Syriac.
Beneath the visible text on one of the folios is a so-called palimpsest — the almost indiscernible imprint of an older text that medieval copyists had scraped off in order to re-use the costly parchment. By meticulously studying dozens of images made at various ultraviolet wavelengths, the scientists revealed the older text, which probably dates from the 5th or 6th century A.D.
The Greek palimpsest text describes the constellation Corona Borealis, the Northern Crown, providing information on its extent on the sky and on the coordinates of four of its stars (now labeled ?, ?, ?, and ?). These coordinates neatly agree with the stellar positions around the time Hipparchus drew up his catalog.
“The ‘style’ and coordinate system of the brief text in the palimpsest is similar to that used by Hipparchus in The Commentaries,” says Schaefer, “so the palimpsest might plausibly have a Hipparchan heritage.” However, he warns that this is “far from proven”. Still, most scientists appear to be convinced that part of the oldest star catalog in history has finally come to light. “It is one of the most thrilling things to happen in astronomy history for a while,” says Sheehan. “What else remains out there to be found out from one of the ancient palimpsests?”
The discovery shows that Hipparchus used equatorial coordinates, and that his measurements were accurate to within one degree. In contrast, Ptolemy’s catalog, compiled almost three centuries later, used ecliptic coordinates and was significantly less accurate. According to Williams, Gysembergh and Zingg, this implies that Ptolemy’s work was not based solely on data from Hipparchus.
“It’s a remarkable discovery,” says Sheehan. “It will force us to completely rethink our views about the ancient world, and in particular it shows that the cycles of discovery and science do not, as we like to think, follow a progressive line forward, and that even Ptolemy’s work represents something of a dark age compared to some of his predecessors.”

Below From the Daily Mail article about Netball and Gina. Good luck with getting any sponsorship from the big gambling companies.
‘We’ve always stood up for social justice, we’ve always been anti-gambling, no smoking … and there were, and are, other avenues to source sponsorship,’ said Ms Norder (the former player who must take major credit for the sudden decline in wages for the players).
In fact good luck getting any sponsorship that will come even close to $3.5m per year. Looking forward to Ms Norder naming the other potential sponsors.

It’s all about the Benjamins and the Teachers Union.
Back in the late 1950s, Qlds new Coalition Government decided to move Grade 8 to High School in 1964 and started a Building Program.
In 1962, they decided that since Grade 8s were already at High School, they might as well finish Grades 9 & 10 as well.
That required a lot more Teachers, since progression beyond Grade 8 had previously required the Passing of the Scholarship Examination.
Not many sat for that exam or passed it, so that gives you an idea what Literacy and Numeracy levels were like in 1962.
Standards have fallen a long way since then.

But, the whole push of ‘progressive educationists’, whoever they are, is to put kids into some form of school younger and younger. Not aged seven, but aged three.
Presumably it is a half baked justification for expansion of the public sector.
There are lots of juicy career opportunities, plus the chance to do a bit of political proselytising.
As an aside, we held our elder son back for a year, partly to take the family on a three month camping trip. He did not suffer educationally.
It looks like Lidia Thorpe has made a lot of enemies who are now applying the boot. Tsk, tsk.
I went to school when dipping little girls plaits into inkwells, and putting sherbet bombs in inkwells, and watching them fizz everywhere, was considered fine sport. That was when teachers used the cane.

Just had a look at a few Facebook pages re the Netty sponsorship thing.
Comments mostly running 99% in favour of Gina.
Even the ABC and SBS pages were majority in support of her.
Netty is fucked.
Which is the plan.
A consortium including Liz Ellis had put in a lowball offer to buy the whole thing lock, stock and barrel and take it private. The lifeline from Gina threw a brick in that pond.
How long before the current netty players realise they have been played.
So, if half a dozen Aborigines nulla nulla a coupla your Roos, stook up a fire, roast them on the coals and invite 20 family members over for a feed,
you’ll be on your verandah clapping and cheering?

A dozen Liverpool lads were at the pearly gates, ready to enter heaven. St. Peter sauntered over. “I’m afraid we are nearly full. We can only take one of you”. The guys were not pleased about this. St. Peter could sense their anguish and tried to calm things. “I’ll tell you what guys; it’s getting late. I’ll report to God and get back to you in the morning. By then you will have things worked out”. The next morning St. Peter went to the entrance. What he saw shocked him. He ran to god. “God… they are gone!” “What! All twelve of them?” “No God… the Pearly Gates!”
Netty Chick pulled up lame on the turn.

The netball chicks seem to enjoy being poor. Serves them right. They’re too stupid to understand where money actually comes from.
Gina is like the IPA and Andrew Bolt. Sets Leftys off like Pavlov’s dogs.
Never had any problems with that – any indigenous who wanted to come out and shoot a few kangaroos knew the rules – all firearms had to be licensed, ask at the house on entry, leave all gates as you find them. Kangaroos on my place were voted to be the best tasting in the district – fed on saltbush.
Okay. But was she really?
Guaranteed. Take your pick from a list of squealy ex-captainesses with vested interests, and who have now gone quiet somehow.

They are not very good at maths nor do they have any observational skills. Have these women watched men’s sports and checked the attendance numbers? Did they check if their games had similar numbers?
Next, they have no thinking skills or they would have realised that they cannot expect to be paid as highly as others who generate more ticket sales.
The last option for making up the difference was sponsorships. Smart people don’t insult those whom they are expecting to give them money. Quid pro quo is also a foreign concept to these girls, you do something for someone like wear their logo and they give you money.
If you weren’t taught the essentials of how the world works you must learn the hard way.
Given I am Indigenous* mice elf, I would welcome them of course!
When asked, at the Canberra Lockup, if I was ‘Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander’ I said ‘yes’. They said which, I said ‘both’. Paper filler looked pained and said ‘both’ ??. I said yes, both – they then asked me if I wanted a visit from the Aboriginal Liason Officer 😉

Good luck to Netball Australia with future sponsorship discussions. I suspect they are going to need it.
Someone mentioned the Winter’s Tale waaaay up thread.
I rather like that.
How long before the hand goes into the taxpayer’s pocket?
Given the tenor of the times, it was inevitable. Aborigines should reflect on their likely fate had they been colonised by others, go down on their knees, and thank God for the British.

Some of the most strident sanctimonious hypocritical collectivists I’ve known are among the most unrepentant purveyors of “conservative artefacts” such as intact nookular families. My sister being a classic example.
It’s fine for them, but every other person they deem as inferior can have the tragic consequences of collectivist stupidity foist good and hard upon them. Lives in chaos, monstrous random violence, including poor li’l kiddies being mercilessly abused and the unrelenting void that is welfare dependence, illiteracy and generational dysfunction.
Just who are the “petit bourgeoisie” here, mUttley, you monumental hypocrite?

And do not underestimate the power of envy.
I am thinking more than one ex “superstar” (hi Liz!) might have got the shits on because the minimum wage for a shitkicker was going to be $100k when the top players got $30k ten years ago.
I’m shocked- SHOCKED that Pat Cummins is comfortable supporting an oil and gas sponsor whose majority ownership is that of a brutal regime that;
– publicly beheads it’s citizens.
– treats it’s women like cattle with little or no rights
– allows forced work/slavery
– has the death penalty for homosexuality
– allows no rights for the LGBTQI people

Yep.
Doesn’t matter what Netty management says about “alignment” and “common values”, any sponsor is going to be doing their due diligence on activist players.
Sponsorship will be discounted, there will be no upfront cash and the contract will be loaded with break clauses.

Ordinarily I would agree you that making something easier to do would help with the “stickiness” issue. However, confiscating privately owned land is a major endeavor. It’s serious stuff and would change the entire economic system.
I don’t think it’s paranoia to be thinking and discussing these things, because as you say, all we need to do is look back over the past 30 years.
We have a fascist movement on the left, which means heavy duty control, but I don’t see full retard communism.

Discovered yesterday when mowing lawns have new slightly larger than golf ball sized hole under cement slab of garden shed. This morning in early sunshine little terrier-cross dog goes high pitched berserk. Screaming in fact. Now remember that sound from being on farm in early years. It’s the snake bark. It is possible snake, as live close to river in Nth Eastern burbs of Melbourne. Not worried about myself but about my little terrier dog. Have tried to block off area to her but she is terrier and will get through or over anything if on hunt.. Any suggestions from cats welcome.
Let the dog do its job, mem.

Sad thing is, most advocates of summary execution for vaguely defined “crimes” don’t particularly like being put on the spot.

Until someone pays a bent local cop $500 to off one of your rellos and “find” some drugs on him.
Plenty of snake catcher services in Melbourne.
Uh huh?
So, what’s your beef, then?
If I believed the lies, isn’t that my problem?
Mem – Might be a bluetongue, they love such places and doggies love them. Snakes tend to be shy but blueys are wandering around at the moment looking for mates. I rescued one this week out from under the noses of my neighbours’ dogs and took him off to a place a good distance away from yards with dogs.
If a shotgun isn’t an option, get a snake catcher.

I’d send me Mil around but feel sorry for the snake being used as a hair tie.
Yes; I can tolerate a snake passing through, but settling down on my patch? Ain’t happening.
Always snakes around in Melbourne, I saw two juveniles in different parts of Werribee Zoo last week , one looked like a recent hatching, another was twice as big. Most likely tigers.
I wouldn’t be guessing a lizard.

You can identify as anything you want, Mr. Ed. You’ve often told us you identify as an aboriginal woman and we respect that as we’re not judging.
Neither of the snakes were the slightest bit shy either.

Just seeking some general guidance from Cat commenters on blog etiquette.
Suppose, in a purely hypothetical situation:
1. Commenter A, at the express (offline) request of commenter B, agrees that a discussion shall cease.
2. Some time later commenter B makes a derogatory reference to commenter A’s participation in the discussion, but the derogatory remark is addressed to commenter C, not commenter A.
Is commenter A at liberty to remind people of the humiliating bottom spanking that commenter B received in the discussion, thus revealing commenter B to be a fitting object of jeering hooting ridicule and contempt?
Or was commenter B’s derogatory remark a display of repellently poor form which commenter A should not stoop to emulate?
