I have a swag of SA rellies, all of whom have quit the Party. They would never vote Liars despite some of them being ruinables fans. So they are adrift like so many of us.
The killer issue for most was the stabbing of the Country Fire Service of which most were lifetime members until they were thrown to the Metropolitan union thugs. The Libs ignored it.
Such ‘small matters’ would be invisible in SA’s Adelaide dominated political landscape, but must be addressed if Conservatives ever want to regain power. It’s called courage.

Not too badly at this stage but heaven knows what’s in store for the next few months. Most farmers have lost some crop in low parts of the farm. Any gentle slope is producing run-off and water pooling.
There are excellent crops around and it would be a great pity to ruin the cashflow boost for rural areas that would flow from a big harvest.
Everything’s damp underneath and it’s only fungicides holding rampant fungal disease at bay. Some blokes have lost the battle, particularly with faba beans.
Will do, bons.

I admire both Senators Antic and Rennick because they swim against the tide. They are the only two worth their salt, in my opinion.
Chandler is ok on the gender/child abuse shit.

That’s correct, but only up to a point. Bretton Woods set the US Dollar/Gold price at US$35 an ounce. The deal was that the Western world would coalesce around that fix and set their own currencies to within a tight band of.. I think… 2 1/2 % around the Greenback (which pinged back to the $35 dollar/gold fix). The US began to run large deficits primarily due to the combination of the Korean War, the Vietnam War and the Great Society bullshit expanding the social net.
One fine Friday in 1971, the French Foreign or Finance minister (forget which) came calling to the White House demanding their claim on gold by wanting to redeem their Dollars. Nixon and Connolly then floated the dollar that weekend, thus fucking the Frogs. The rest is history.
Let’s get some controversy happening here, Cats – other possible terms include: extinctificated, extinctified or extincted.
For the latter example, see below:
Soaring oratory, again. 😕
Duh.. neither are/were politicians.

Yes, yes they are.
Well, weatherwise, that is quite possibly the most lacklustre late October day I’ve experienced in my life.
Dull, overcast, leavened with some rain and now so dark the lights have been turned on.
Gerbil worming is a cruel beast, Cats.
Ranga, someone had stuck ridiculously wide tyres on those white rims. Great for sand, not so good in the wet. Good little 4WD if you didn’t mind getting bounced around and we’re not in a hurry to get anywhere.
Hay production could be in dire trouble if rain continues into December.
What does Hispanic denote?
It’s a category Nixon invented in 1970, [likely to skew Crime Data away from implicating Blacks], but no one knows.
Let’s say it denotes someone with ancestry in the Spanish, later Mexican Empire.
That ranged from the Pacific Northwest to Texas, Indian Territory, so unless their sister was claiming to be from the Algonquin Federation, she was probably legit.
From: “Humans rather than climate the primary cause of Pleistocene megafaunal extinction in Australia”
Environmental histories that span the last full glacial cycle and are representative of regional
change in Australia are scarce, hampering assessment of environmental change preceding
and concurrent with human dispersal on the continent ca. 47,000 years ago. Here we present
a continuous 150,000-year record offshore south-western Australia and identify the timing of
two critical late Pleistocene events: wide-scale ecosystem change and regional megafaunal
population collapse. We establish that substantial changes in vegetation and fire regime
occurred B70,000 years ago under a climate much drier than today. We record high levels
of the dung fungus Sporormiella, a proxy for herbivore biomass, from 150,000 to 45,000
years ago, then a marked decline indicating megafaunal population collapse, from 45,000 to
43,100 years ago, placing the extinctions within 4,000 years of human dispersal across
Australia. These findings rule out climate change, and implicate humans, as the primary
extinction cause.
Actually, would be interesting to know if humans were the cause of the desert areas in Oz as well.

Lizzee – a charming li’l tale about sloths and their “gettin’ it on” habits.

Oh bugger, I’ve been bested by Ed.
I’d say extremely likely.
Eucalypts only propagate by fire, the early explorers on the East Coast saw smoke all the way up or down, so it’s a fair bet that the blacks were burning their way slowly to the Coasts, without intending to.
I am agreeing with you – given being a ‘store of value’ is a necessary function of money, what we have now is not money, its ‘currency’, and fiat currency at that.
Oh Okay, fair enough.

Of my 60 plus family (including extended family) not one is horrible. Some might be boring or pedantic, (genetic aspies,) but I would have no hesitation inviting every one of them to a family do and hugging them when they arrived.
Yes, I am incredibly lucky, and I thank God for that every day.
Yep, I am well versed in the history of money etc etc, and the decline of ALL fiat currencies over time. From Bretton Woods to Nixon in 1971, the US dollar was at least ‘partially’ pegged to gold, and the rest of the worlds currencies were largely pegged to the US, giving, at least, a defacto gold standard for much of the world.
Pop quiz, Ed.

Australia to nationally ban single-use plastics (23 Oct)
Stupid FRIGGING liberals. I’d like to stick my few remaining cotton buds up the anus of the Liberal MP nearest me. Followed by a dozen plastic forks. /rant
It’s hilarious that farmers across eastern states are praying for warm weather and sunshine in spring rather than a drink to finish crops as usual.
I will pay your travel expenses if you would journey to Heysen, electorate of Josh Teague.
Actually, would be interesting to know if humans were the cause of the desert areas in Oz as well.
Of course they were. The 3rd nations could start a fire but not carry it; so every time they stopped they started a fire. This went on for millennia and finished off the rainforests except for remnants in the north east and created ideal conditions for the fucking eucalypts . Basically the 3rd nations were the biggest environmental vandals the world has seen.
Good to see him up up off the fainting couch.
A man got on the bus with both of his front trouser pockets full of golf balls and sat down next to a beautiful blonde. The puzzled blonde kept looking at him and his bulging pockets. Finally, after many glances from her, he said “It’s golf balls”. The blonde continued to look at him for a very long time, thinking deeply about what he had said. Finally, unable to contain her curiosity any longer, she asked “Does it hurt as much as tennis elbow?
Stupid frigging liberals. Sheesh.
Huh?
Australia is moving towards implementing nationally consistent rules on single-use plastics …

Here’s a heart warming li’l tail for yers, Cats. On Saturday morning while out on my run, I encountered a bull dyke (no longer residing in Sleazy Hills it would seem) and her poor li’l barely ambulant dogue, who was point blankly refusing to move away from a soft patch of grass he’d found himself.
Me: “He’s not being very co-operative, is he?
BD: “Well he is very old”
Me*: “Err, indeed he is”
As much as I hate to admit it, I’ve always found lezzoes good company. They tend not to have any airs and graces and they certainly know how to party. I often fondly reminisce about the many Friday nights at The “Gimperial” where I would spend hours playing pool. Good times.
*Being very thankful at that point that the dogue was indeed a male, otherwise the possibility of some Eccy Thoomp would have become a reality …

There was a married couple who were in a terrible accident.
The wife’s face was burned severely. The doctor suggested for a skin graft, but unfortunately, the doctor had to inform her that they couldn’t use any skin from her body because she was so thin. The husband then offered to donate some of his skin for the skin graft. However, the doctor said that the only suitable skin was from his buttocks. They accepted, but requested that no one be told of this, because after all this was a very delicate matter!
After the surgery was completed, everyone was astounded at the wife’s new beauty. She looked more beautiful than she ever did before! All her friends and relatives just ranted and raved at her youthful beauty!
One day, she was finally alone with her husband & she wanted to thank him for what he did. She said “Dear, I just want to thank you for everything you did for me! There is no way I could ever repay you!”
He replied “Oh don’t worry, Honey, I get plenty thanks every time your mother comes over and kisses you on your cheek”.
Well I’m content one of my family members is burning in hell and the duplicitous husk that gave birth to it will be joining him shortly.

I was watching the movie Disclosure earlier – which is kind of interesting because it was almost (at the time) a thought experiment as to what would happen if a woman was the initiator of sexual harassment.
One lines bandied about by a woman trying to denigrate men, and when Michael Douglas tries to demonstrate that contrary to her assertions, men are not on some easy wicket just by virtue of being men, is that they are the ones who die in wars. She rebuts by saying that it is men who cause them.
Then I recalled that female monarchs are more likely to start wars than men.

One of the most interesting verses in the Bible is this one:
Bit hard to tell when Abraham was alive, but it’d be around the 22ndC BC. He was carrying the fire.
Some hundreds of years later humans found out how to make iron, then with flint worked out that you could spark a flame. I think that was one of the greatest inventions ever, which Abraham obviously did yet have then.
Quite a lot of interesting science in the Bible when you look with a scientist’s eyes. “Fining” is an often mentioned methodology that makes my metallurgical heart glad. Usually used for separating lead out of silver, since silver typically comes from lead ores. These days the word has become “refining” which is a misnomer, since the original purification isn’t “re”.

Virtual Nazis!
A virtual recreation of Nazi Germany has been discovered in one of the world’s biggest online gaming platforms by a 10-year-old Jewish girl in Melbourne, despite parent company Roblox expressing a zero-tolerance policy towards extremist behaviour.
Roblox is a gaming platform of more than 200 million monthly users which, like many virtual reality frontiers, markets itself to children.
It allows users to create their own video games, interact and play games created by others.
The virtual room, designed to resemble Nazi Germany and complete with Third Reich symbols and Nazi soldiers, was discovered by a Jewish primary schooler in Melbourne, who accessed it from a server in Australia.

Just got around to reading the Federalist article in Weekend Reading #9.
This is the article that on Saturday had m0nty-fa gloating that the “liberals” had won decisively, the left were now the conservatives, conserving the fruits of the culture wars that they swore were not being fought. I do not think there is too much in the article to comfort m0nty-fa. He and his ilk are now, in their own terms, on “the wrong side of history”.
The article proposes a way forward that will not appeal to some (perhaps many) libertarians and conservatives, but seems viable. Aux (political) armes citoyens, to the barricades. We are now the rebels, m0nty-fa and his ilk are the reactionary defenders of a failed status quo.

The Farage is not an anti-semite.
I’ve never heard of the word “globalist” being used as some sort of code for Jew or the Jewish people, or their unstinting efforts to control this planet’s weather.
Jews have been historically perceived by anti Semites as “rootless cosmopolitans”, who were so desperate to take over the planet that they had to go an establish their own country in their historical homeland.
The only anti-Semites I see now loudly blundering around mouth foamingly spouting their racist hatred are collectivists (again).

Sancho Panzer:
Most of them are in the northern hemisphere, unless they are in ships etc. Why do you ask? You realise that fallout eventually lands everywhere, don’t you?
It’s one of the reasons they clad bombs in Cobalt 60 – the fallout is designed to kill every person within thousands of km and ruin the soil.
Sads.
Speaking of ethical sposors, I note Ms. Lorder’s not for profit employer is sponsored by the Melbourne Racing Club & the Victorian Racing Club.
I have no problem with horse racing, but some on the prog left who do might regard this as an example of cynical greenwashing.
The main problem with throwing rocks in glass houses is that people can see who did it.

So what word can be used to identify the ideology of globalism? Are we supposed to use cosmopolitan? I’m sure people will also find that offensive. What then?
How about not subscribing to a conspiracy theory that at its heart is pure anti-Semitism? Is that too much to ask?
How about controlling your personal obsession with Jews? Is that too much to ask?
Sacking every bimbo that didn’t speak out against the Gina hate might be a start.
As for what’s left, seriously, who cares?
Anecdote o’clock – when I lived in Sleazey Hills in the late nineties, I used to go cycling in Centennial park four nights a week. Thursday night at the netball courts would see me walking the cycle back and just savouring. I’ve never seen so many hot young women gathered in such a compressed space in my life and probably never will again. Those goils were the real grass roots of the game*.
Ah, memories.
*Miss Emily used to play, but it was only ever for the socialising. She hated the game, found it very boring and did not take kindly to being continually told what to do by dragons.
The “free market experiment is over”, according to a top Tory MP and Rishi Sunak backer Tobias Ellwood, who hopes the establishment favourite will now usher in a “reset”.
I’m surprised there hasn’t been more comment about this.I wonder if the ascension of Chilla has anything to do with it. Remember too that Truss stopped him from going to a globull warming gabfest in Egypt.
Yep; prince tampon will be running the show. Boris, already part of the fucked reset, will be reinstated and Klaus, Gates, Prince Tampon and the rest of the shits will be up to their ears in serfs. People should watch Kingsman for some insights; only there will be no rescue; and the mid terms are stuffed.

Bit hard to tell when Abraham was alive, but it’d be around the 22ndC BC.
22ndC BC, Bruce?
BCE if you please. Get with the program! ?
What is the singular event that marks the end of the BCE period, and the start of the CE?
No, Squire – Ms Norder. As in, “The strident anti Hancock player spokesdragon, Ms Laura Norder …”
dumb as a bag of hammers might be somewhat passe when “smart as an Aussie netballer” is there for the taking.
As IT used to say, “I’ve got a schaden-boner you could beat a brown dog with!”
This is crying out for one of those “How it started …. How it’s going” memes.
Point of order Rabz.
Point of order, relating to Ms Lorder.
Should be Norder. Sorry Ms Lorder.
Blame Norder.
I like this one better, it’s from further south. The vid would never get through today’s censors.

Chill, Winston.
Chill.
The panic is likely to get you before the fallout does.
And who is her employer?
Thinkin’ of Bruce Loder, for some reason?
Forgotten who he even was, so whether NetBall, Hot Chicks, AntiSemitism, or a combination, I’m unsure.
Can anyone help out?
Given the popularity of community netball, I sense an opportunity for Team Albo to step in and save the day…
Bruce Loder, Winston.
Was he a Bush Nurse?
You heard the boss.
Off to the Duelling Thread Winston.
Oops…I got her name wrong. Thanks KD!
Anyway, she’s an ambassador for the Sports Environment Alliance.
Eddles, just lie back and think of the Fetterwoman* (again) …
*Trigger warning: Break out the sick bags …
Forget Laura Loder, Roger.
Who was Bruce Loder?
More Bond. Never can have enough Bond.

If you can’t get straight iodine, then I reckon a good substitute would be iodized salt. Eat a kilo of salt a day and that ought to neutralize any negative effects from radiation.
Community netball will survive. I suspect most of the sponsorship money was going to the various age based national teams & the NA “Centre of Excellence” high performance training facility which prepares them for international competition.
I was going to be a bit cheeky here, and mention that if you can’t change a tyre you shouldn’t have a driver’s licence. But I won’t.
About 9 years ago I was traveling in a cab being driven by an Indian chap from Sydney Airport to my accommodation in Parramatta.
Before we reached M4 he had a flat tyre and said he didn’t know how to change it. He was about to call NRMA but I changed the wheel for him and afterwards he took me to an Indian Restaurant in Parra and shouted me to a great meal…
Just looking on-line it looks like she is promoting herself as a speaker for hire.
So.
Is she on a salary with Sports Environment Alliance? In any case she is trying to build a profile as a speakery consultanty ladiee.
It might just dawn on the Netty chicks in the next few days that they have been sacrificed on the altar of Norder’s Insta profile.
She doesn’t strike me as an altruist.

what word can be used to identify the ideology of globalism?
Supranationalist
I heard Rowan’s attempt to deflect the criticism of the Farage’s bleedingly obvious and very correct description of the Lizzee Trussed imbroglio in the UK.
The Farage is not an anti-semite.”
Correct. It’s being used to silence the truth about globalism. I thought Rowan’s take down this morning was very good. Farage is no anti-Semite.
There’s a taxi driver in Zurich who got a flat tyre when we were in his cab, and couldn’t get over the fact that I helped him change the tyre…
On iodine/iodide as a noocular prophylactic: as a Western adult, post-Armageddon, an increased risk of thyroid cancer will be low on your list of worries.
Roger: yes it will.
The issue is political popularity: Saving Netball.

It is with great disappointment that I have just discovered that Sharni Norder once played for the Collingwood sheila’s AFL team and their netball team.
