Was a BlackBerry device used? The Hun:
Daniel Andrews’ office has refused to detail its policy on the use of private email addresses after it was revealed his former lawyer used a personal account for some work matters.
Steve Palmer, who worked as general counsel to the Premier from 2015 until his resignation last year, used the private Gmail address for some matters, in place of his government-issued email.
Sources close to the Premier’s office said the email was used for work-related purposes not directly connected to the function of executive government. But the move has raised concerns about the potential thwarting of public access to government material under Freedom of Information and archive laws.
The Premier’s office has refused to detail its policy on private email address use, or whether other staff use personal email addresses for work.
The Herald Sun understands that Mr Palmer requested former Labor MP Kaushaliya Vaghela email him on his personal address documents which may have included key identification material, in relation to a bullying complaint she had raised with the Premier’s office.
Victoria’s information commissioner, Sven Bluemmel, said the use of private email raised potential security issues.
“Using a personal email address could introduce substantial risks as the email systems are not under the control of Victorian public sector agency,” Mr Bluemmel said.
Such use could breach the Privacy and Data Protection Act. And searching for documents in response to a FOI application may miss those not stored on an agency’s systems, “such as those that are sent or received using a personal email address”. That could potentially undermine transparency and accountability.
A government spokesman said the Premier had never used a private email address for a work purpose. “All ministerial staff are provided with a work email address,” he said.
I’m sure Cassie will have blood boiling. From an article on the Hun website, the teals in Parliament had some nice backing, donation wise to get themselves into office.

Black Ball how is the Murray up your way?
Like Tom I blundered into the moribund weekend thread, so here is my comment again!
it is a referendum on just one man: Joe Biden.
Garrison illustrated the real situation yesterday.
Biden is president cardboard cutout, while behind him lurk the dark forces that menace America and seek to disintegrate it.
As Schumer said before the last Georgia Senate runoff election (probably scammed as well) “if we win Georgia we will change America”.
They proceeded to do just that, and the midterms will be just the start of a fightback. I’m not all that optimistic that the GOP can turn the tide by strictly normal political, administrative and judicial means.

Vietnam Gas Stations Start To Close Due To Widespread Shortages (7 Nov)
It happens over and over: government puts price controls onto fuel, then all the fuel suppliers go bust because they can’t make a profit. Then because there’s unrest over of lack of fuel the government takes away the price controls, prices rise spectacularly then there’re riots over the price of fuel. And the government cracks down, or even collapses.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s government has signalled it is open to discussing climate “reparations” for the likes of Pakistan, as he prepares tax hikes and public service cuts at home in the name of fiscal responsibility.– another government a war with its own people. Where’s Chilla on this?

Not just me, add Bern, Lizzie, Hairy and others. The thing is, we were so disappointed and disgusted with the Liberals that we didn’t vote for Karma Sharma. I voted for the Lib Dems. But you’re right, most who live in Teal electorates like Wentworth don’t give a toss about the rest of Australia.
However, you want to know who and what is responsible for this great Teal reset? Well, it’s the clowns in the Liberal Party of Australia, under various PMs and yes, the rot started under Abbott and it magnified under Turdbull and then Scumbag. There was a complete abandonment and betrayal of Liberal beliefs and a complete surrender to the nonsense that is the climate cult. They signed up to the climate nonsense and last year to the disaster that is net zero emissions, and now they are too cowardly and too spineless to walk away and say it was a mistake.
In the forthcoming state election here in NSW (next March), the Liberals here will likely suffer the same fate as they did last May. They’ll lose former blue ribbon seats like Vaucluse, North Sydney and Manly, occupied by vacuous nonentities, to Teals. This is despite the fact that this state current Liberal government is mint green and obsessed with climate change, you couldn’t ask for a government more beholden to climate madness and yet they’re gonna still lose big time to the Teals. What’s the moral of this story? Don’t sell your soul to the climate con in the first place.

You probably know of Marilyn vos Savant. She became famous because the Guinnes Book of World Records presented her as the person with the highest IQ ever recorded, as a child and as an adult. (As we shall discuss, her intelligence shines through in many places in the book, making it that much sadder that she could have written such drivel.) In her “Ask Marilyn” ‘problem-analysis column’ each Sunday in Parade magazine, she popularises mathematical puzzles and conundrums, reaching out to a potential audience of seventy million people. And now she has challenged the orthodoxy of the mathematics world by “refuting” Wiles’s purported proof of Fermat’s Last Theorem, by claiming that it is wrong because it is illogical, relying, she believes, on ridiculous inconsistencies accepted by mathematicians. For example, the concept of a non-Euclidean geometry. For another example, proofs using induction. Would you expect that such a controversial opinion, from the person with the world’s highest IQ, is based on a careful analysis of the ideas involved in these concepts,by studying the appropriate literature at hand, and by justifying her substantial findings with an irrefutable argument? Well, don’t expect such an argument in this book, because you’ll be disappointed. In fact, she even boasts that she wrote the book in just three weeks! Not that she began as an expert; no, she just dived in, read a few popular mathematics books, and then proceeded to her startling conclusions.

Former Fox News Producer Points Out Something Very Curious About The Paul Pelosi Story
Saul topped himself to stop uncircumcised men from thrusting and abusing him, what was he implying?
Now the Philistines fought against Israel; and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell slain on Mount Gilboa. Then the Philistines followed hard after Saul and his sons. And the Philistines killed Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchishua, Saul’s sons. The battle became fierce against Saul. The archers hit him, and he was severely wounded by the archers.
Then Saul said to his armorbearer, “Draw your sword, and thrust me through with it, lest these uncircumcised men come and thrust me through and abuse me.”
But his armorbearer would not, for he was greatly afraid. Therefore Saul took a sword and fell on it. And when his armorbearer saw that Saul was dead, he also fell on his sword, and died with him
Saul was dead and so was his armour bearer.
Who was writing this down?
Well, the pic’s are out of the Hunchback’s car that was ‘T’ boned. It’s plainly obvious that it is NOT a T’bone. How is this fucking cunt getting away with this?

Good question, lots of great stories in the Old Testament, dodgy sources though.
Thanks all rely on the cartoons to let me know what is going on in world . More Accurate than the Age or ABC.
BTW looking at dan’s dangerous steps I would think a slip on those one would have landed on the bum and not end up with a broken jaw which was not listed in injuries . Did not photograph him for weeks , rely on goldfish memories of the voters.
Yet no one is mentioning that it was him who installed ol horseface, against the wishes of his own voters.
The armour bearer’s Insta story lived on.
I assume the king and the armour-bearer were important people. Saul had no means of escape as he was severely wounded. It was a product of Saul’s pride and despair that, rather than surrender himself to God’s care, he took his life instead.
A pleb/some plebs may have been an eyewitness and scarpered in the onslaught.
Yep, as discussed some days back, with such serious injuries to the cyclist, there would likely be substantial forensic evidence to show the orientation of the car and cycle at the scene.
The pictures shown are low quality, but it looks very much like car struck cyclist with R front bumper, cyclist then rotated down onto bonnet/windscreen.
There are 2 points of impact on the screen, the smaller, lower one looks very much like a classic headstrike and the higher more central one possible a hand.
So who is dropping all this dirt now?
Finally,finally the press are asking some hard questions of Dan Andrews. Investigating , enquiring, doing their job.
Does anyone have the transcript of his fiery press conference with The Age reporter?
Friends of Viktoristan.
Who knows? But they deserve a government grant!
The Hunchback is so hated that I’m guessing some in the police force are leaking info.
And with the vehicle clearly unroadworthy, the cops let them drive home?
C’mon, this has to bury the fascist psychopath.
The issue as always is not so much the crime but the cover up.
And…kind reader, read on…
Everyone around knew what had happened. They saw the army flee the enemy. The Philistines would have repeated the story up and down the land in great gloatation, the bodies of the slain being displayed for public humiliation.
And the story reached David. Jonathan was David’s friend. Big mistake Philistines. And so the story continues to 2 Samuel 1. David gets the news from an eyewitness. But I’ll leave that for those who are interested to look up.
From the Hun’s reproduced statement of Daniel Andrews:
But:
No. No, the cyclist did not hit your car at any sort of right angle, let alone a perfect one.
The reproduced page is Page 1 of 2. The second page of statements of this type are, it is said by some, wholly taken up by jurats and assertions that the content of the statement is true and correct, and also an acknowledgment that any filthy lies in that statement render the writer liable to the penalties of perjury.
There is nothing in that statement about the following relevant points. This is not an exhaustive list:
1. How long the driver had held a licence for;
2. The competence of the driver, to the best of the statement maker’s knowledge;
3. Where the occupants of the car had been (for context);
4. Whether the driver (or any occupant) had been drinking, or was affected by licit or illicit drugs;
5. What the weather conditions were like – dry, wet, foggy, raining, clear;
6. What the driver was wearing – black clothing, hi-vis clothing, no clothing;
7. Any conversations had between the occupants of the car and the rider (or among themselves) in the period immediately following the crash; and
8. What street signs, if any, were at the intersection they were at immediately prior to the crash.
All of these questions are relevant, and I have heard from decent sources that all of them are absolutely stock standard when the jacks cast their peepers over accidents of this type.
None of them were asked. An even bigger ‘tell’ is the self-serving commentary provided by Andrews in this single page chock full of falsehoods.
There are six words that scream out from the pics, and that ‘statement’. Perjury is one of them.
The others are Pervert The Course of Justice.
It’s a fucking terrible coverup. Terrible.
Saul’s suicide is still more believable than Dan getting T boned by a kid on a bike or the two step triple backflip.
FWIW he has done so overnight.

Fair comment, and amusingly written, but Joe couldn’t forget his preference for the Left in the last line:
Joe Hildebrand: US midterms offer stark lessons for Australian Labor
Just two years after the chaos of Donald Trump’s presidency, the Democrats are heading for a result that will make the Texas Chainsaw Massacre look like Peppa Pig, writes Joe Hildebrand.
During the next 24 hours, tens of millions of Americans will go to the polls. On paper, it will be to elect hundreds of congress men and women, senators and governors to federal and state offices all over the country.
But in truth it is a referendum on just one man: Joe Biden.
And it is for this reason that just two years after the chaos of Donald Trump’s presidency, the Democrats are heading for a result that will make the Texas Chainsaw Massacre look like Peppa Pig.
It would be easy to say that this is because Biden has spent much of his presidency mumbling incoherently and attempting to shake hands with pot plants, but the seeds of this disaster lie right at the heart of the Democratic Party itself – and offer stark lessons for Australian Labor.
The fundamental question is: How is it that the biggest political machine in the world’s greatest democracy was faced with a president they derided as a dangerously incompetent fool, and yet when the time came to defeat him the best they could come up with was a brain-damaged geriatric who could barely string a sentence together?
The reason is that the Democrats forgot about the middle.
Not just Middle America, but the middle of their own party.
At the bottom it had been hijacked by the same green-left activists we see buzzing around in Australia – feeding silly, identity politics-obsessed ideologues into congress – and at the top the party was effectively a multimillion-dollar seatwarmer for the Clintons.
And so you had a party structure comprised of bourgeois radicals talking about defunding the police, stitched to a personality cult around arguably the most powerful couple in the world and deeply embedded with the most elite corporate and political establishment.
But where were normal people?
Indeed, it might as well be put down to divine intervention that spoilt Hillary’s first dance and gave Barack Obama eight effortless years in the White House.
As soon as that was done, Hillary popped back up like an inflatable punching bag only to lose another unlosable race.
And when the Dems needed someone to take on Trump, the cupboard was bare.
Why? Because instead of searching for and developing mainstream middle-American candidates who could beat Trump at an actual election, both Hillary and the activist left were too busy whingeing and whining about how the election was stolen from them because the voting system wasn’t fair or because social media was spreading fake news – ironically, the same claims that Trump and his supporters make about his own loss.
They were so obsessed with delegitimising Trump – whether by endless court cases, violent protests or inane #notmypresident hashtags – that they forgot to find someone who could beat him legitimately.
And so when the time came and the party’s top brass realised that if middle-Americans ever came across a typical Democrat activist in the wild they’d pull out a 12-gauge, the closest thing they had to a leading moderate was Joe Biden.
That is how the biggest democratic political operation on the planet ended up staging a real-world re-enactment of Weekend at Bernie’s. That is why Biden was only elected thanks to an unprecedented and one-off anti-Trump coalition ranging from Romney Republicans to Sanders Socialists.
And that is why the Democrats will be trounced in the midterms even as Trump is contemplating a resurrection that would put Lazarus to shame.
Likewise, British Labour was destroyed not so much by the electorate, but by its own hard-left base and their slavish devotion to the unreconstructed socialist Jeremy Corbyn – a man hated by his own colleagues.
Corbynites were given false hope after riding a post-Brexit wave to come closer than expected to the beige and hamstrung Theresa May. In fact, Corbyn’s party was obliterated at the next poll once the Tories had a charismatic leader in Boris Johnson.
Now under the centrist Keir Starmer, Labour is on track to win back power from opposition for the first time since the centrist Tony Blair did the same in 1997. And the lesson for Australian Labor is equally obvious. For a major party to win and hold government it must be mainstream and that means its membership and values must reflect those of mainstream Australia.
So far, Anthony Albanese has done an admirable job of holding the centre line, but it is a thankless and sleepless job.
Hardline elements are always seeking to hijack the ALP for their own personal or ideological purposes. They think they are activists, but they are more like electoral saboteurs.
On Tuesday, the American Democratic Party is going to suffer the impact of such activism under somnambulant leadership.
God willing, the Australian Labor Party won’t have to.
And yet they’ll still re-elect the creepy perjurer and tyrant, Gez.
Which is a shocking reflection on Victorian voters, but even more on the Opposition.
Secret police file and pictures shed new light on Dan Andrews family crash
Secret police documents on the Daniel Andrews family car crash reveal the extent of the damage to the SUV and raise new issues regarding Victoria Police’s handling.
Michael Warner / Herald-Sun
Exclusive
November 8, 2022 – 6:00AM
Ryan Meuleman spent 10 days in hospital after he was in a crash with a car driven by then State Opposition Leader Daniel Andrews’ wife Catherine at Blairgowrie
Secret police documents on the 2013 collision between Daniel and Catherine Andrews’ Ford Territory and bike rider Ryan Meuleman reveal the extent of the damage to the SUV – but the pictures have never been released to the young man or his family.
The images and other issues regarding Victoria Police’s handling of the crash, which have emerged in the documents obtained by the Herald Sun, have prompted calls from a former Victorian crown prosecutor for a fresh review of the case.
It comes as cyclist Ryan and his family have been told they must wait at least three weeks for further key files they are pursuing.
In his first interview about the crash, Ryan last week claimed he had been denied justice, saying the Andrews’ car was “speeding” and “seemed to come out of nowhere” when he was struck as he rode his bicycle across Ridley St in Blairgowrie on January 7.
But the Premier has always claimed it was Ryan who was travelling too fast, saying in 2017: “He was moving at speed, he absolutely T-boned the car, hit it at such force he was literally inside the car.”
Crash investigation pictures obtained by the Herald Sun show the windscreen on the driver’s side of the SUV was smashed and heavily depressed, which the Meulemans say indicates the car must have hit their son.
Damage to the front right panel and bonnet was also inflicted in the collision with then 15-year-old Ryan but the vehicle was never taken for forensic analysis.
The images, which had not been included in documents released to the Meulemans under Freedom of Information laws, have infuriated the family.
After reviewing the extensive files, Ryan’s father Peter Meuleman said: “This is the first time I’ve seen these photos.
“Why didn’t the police give them to us when we asked for the crash report?
“At the Premier’s press conference (in 2017) he said my son had run into his car. Clearly, these photos show his car hit my son.
“There was no T-bone to the side of the car. We are seriously shocked by the lies that we have been told about the circumstances of the crash.”
The full police incident report, investigation notes, never-before-seen photographs and witness statements relating to the horror smash, which resulted in Ryan losing 90 per cent of his spleen, have been obtained by the Herald Sun.
Pix at the link, but presumably paywalled
Real Rukshan on Facebook has published photos of Dan Xi Man’s vehicle from the accident with the cyclist.
They clearly show that his story about the bike t-boning the car is … somewhat implausible.
Can’t link.
Is that documents of the secret police or police documents that are secret?
Ah, I see we are onto the Dan accident pics.
Thanks Joe. What, pray tell, caused the “chaos”?
Was it, perchance, that the Dems (and that obscene old Clinton harridan) couldn’t accept the fact that he had won? And that they stirred the pot for four years inciting racial hatred, destruction of property and civil unrest? That they resorted to bogus accusations and lawfare, polluting the country’s legal agencies with partisan hacks thus diminishing confidence in the justice system?
I could go on…and on. Had they accepted the presidential election and simply got on with it the world would be a much better place today. But they didn’t and here we are.
Fair go Calli. Lots of us have never voted for him.
I guess, yes, we Victorians are accountable but we are not helped by a Liberal party that seems to have failed to field a decent opposition in years…..on the other hand, I get the impression they like being in opposition.
In a just world Andrews will not be premier after November. Even if that were to happen, I can not see any material difference if Guy is premier.
Don’t crow too much though. It looks like NSW is not that far behind Vic.
Accident pics here.
No t-bone. The cyclist hit the driver’s side bumper and then the windscreen. At quite a speed.
Dan’s a liar. And so are the police.
Quite so.
And I’m not crowing. I’m mourning. I’ll leave the silly triumphalism for those who can’t or won’t see the big picture of our political decline.
Indeed.
It seems we are sliding to an inevitable disaster unless there is a great awakening, or maybe I am projecting my own mortality onto the world around me….haven’t worked out which it is yet.
Facebook seems to be having technical issues with the Danpix atm – Im sure its nothing.
Hilariously, Josh Frydenberg outspent his teal opponent by more than a million dollars but still lost his blue ribbon Liberal seat.

That is why the company is now regarded, not only, as a forerunner and pioneer in the industry worldwide but also as the embodiment of exceptional expertise in the 300 SL. During the last years HK-ENGINEERING has extended its sales offering to include classic cars of other makes.
This farrago of lies should become the entire platform of the Libs and everyone else’s campaign. It is a rolled-gold gift to the opposition.
It should be screamed out, like AC/DC on a flat top driving down Swanston Street 24 hours a day from this moment on.

The LSM: The mangy tail wagging the rabid dog of politics.
Misinformation operations of the alphabet agencies.
Judging by the quickly disappearing piles of the Herald Sun at my local IGA, I would say that there are a lot of people following this crash story in Victoria. Dan has been spraying our money around to buy the election but I think many voters will hold their nose and vote Matt Guy. After all he couldn’t be as corrupt or as abusive as Daniel Andrews.
Karens are still out there Karening:
An exclusive, invitation-only school has been shut down until ‘further notice’ after a Covid outbreak took out a third of its teaching staff and a single student.
All students from Year 7 to 11 at Tangara School for Girls, in the north Sydney suburb of Cherrybrook, will return to remote learning for at least the next four days thanks to the handful of coronavirus cases.

Albanese only looks like a centrist if you’re to the left of him, Joe Hildebrand.
Oh dear.
Stairman Dan.

So the vaccines are only effectual for “several months” but a fifth dose should be recommended to the general population by government.
Give it up.
So is there someone in the wings that can take over from Dan when he finally says the stress of being hounded by the press and the public (naturally it will all be other people that are being mean to him) and stands down find support among his family and friends?
I may be overestimating the degree of control available to them, but it seems to me that all this stuff coming out about Dan would not be coming out without the imprimatur of Labor. He seems really on the nose so it would be easier to cut him off and give themselves a ‘fresh start’ with a fresh face with minimal known baggage.
We had a revolving door of Labor premiers in NSW like that.
Expect mandates and lockdowns when the Hunchback is reelected.
Have Dan Andrews and the truth ever been seen in the same vicinity?

Election Denier Stacey Abrams Already Denying 2022 Election Results
Election denier Stacey Abrams (D-Liar) is already spinning her upcoming gubernatorial loss by denying an election that has yet to conclude.
Although we see record turnout in Georgia, Abrams is out there blaming this loss on voter suppression and — get this — the ignorance of black men.
In 2018, Abrams lost her race to become Georgia’s governor by a fairly substantial 1.4 percentage points — 50.2 percent for Republican Brian Kemp, compared to 48.8 percent for Abrams. The difference was also a fairly substantial 55,000 votes.
Nevertheless, Abrams refused to concede and continued to insist she won. In fact, four years later, she still hasn’t conceded, even as she launched a rematch against Kemp.
Well, now the insufferable Abrams is getting walloped in the polls. In the RealClearPolitics polls of polls, she’s losing by an average of 8.1 points. Some polls have her down by double digits. The President of Earth is staring dead in the face of a straight-up humiliation and the end of her career as a political superstar.
Naturally, with a massive rejection looming on the horizon, Abrams is returning to form. Even before the 2022 election is over, the election denier is denying the 2022 election.
Before we get to the liars lies, let’s look at this fact…
Somyurek on Mitchell’s show now. Might have to put the transcript up when I conclude work
Collision geometry. The vehicle (1) being T-boned must be moving very slowly relative to the vehicle (2) doing the T- boning. If both are at the same speed the collision angle will be 45 degrees. The faster vehicle 1 is going vs vehicle 2 the angle moves to the front. You can draw your own conclusions. It isn’t rocket engineering (well it can be).
I live in QLD.
When the Labor Health Minister was pushing for restrictions in the winter wave the CHO declined.

Most recently Dr. Thorp has focused his research efforts on the COVID-19 pandemic and published several peer-reviewed scientific publications documenting the dangers of the vaccine in women of reproductive age and in pregnancy. His publications conclusively demonstrate that the COVID-19 “vaccination” experiment has been one of the greatest disasters in the history of medicine. Dr Thorp has clearly shown the mass death from COVID-19 pandemic that would have been prevented had the healthcare system and governmental agencies NOT prevented the widespread support of early and safe treatments proven successful by multiple experts around the world.

Very silly politics from Rishi.
Not only will no Tory government approve such a plan, but he’s just given Boris a point of difference to take his stand on.
Which is ironic, because he only went to COP27 because he didn’t want to be upstaged by Johnson.

Dan’s public appearances are so muted, a dog park, a child care centre etc.
One appearance was cancelled at short notice because of security concerns.
Seems he is a very divisive figure.
Why is it so?
Actually what is astounding is that there is any Danlove anywhere.
Those celebrating him keeping them safe through 2020 and 2021 should have had their hearts broken in December last year.
one thing you learn, is that concepts like imaginary numbers are a convenient mathematical way to describe various physical phenomenon. They’re still not ‘a thing’ like natural numbers are.

He seemed to want to be like Tim Blair but just lacked the talent.
Perhaps well matched with the morning TV ladies.
Will the Chairman have his Chappaquidick? Watch Victoriastanis vote for more of the same.
“He has seen over 22,800 high risk pregnancies in the past three years”
Anyone who claims to be ‘seeing’ approximately high risk pregnant women a week isn’t practising good medicine.
That’s, frankly, unbelievable.
Seems he is a very divisive figure.
You can only use that term against conservatives, regardless of whether they win bigly at elections.

Apparently he has some dirt on the Clintons.
I am wondering if the Hilderbeest will eventually need to get rid of Bill. The advancing years have leached the vital force from him and he is a shrunken colourless husk of a man. I imagine that there is a spark of consciousness left in there but a growing expanse of darkness has opened up between it and his eyes so they seem miles away and he can barely discern what is in front of him; his ears are falling away from him and everything is muffled and indistinct. It takes longer and longer for sensations to find their way to him and they arrive degraded and jumbled. And when he speaks it is a lost wandering mind that cannot even hear its own echo.
He might thoughtlessly say something that can only be known by someone involved – there are plenty of things to be avoided.

… It would be fair to say that the monthly take-home pay of 70% of Belgians after the 50% income tax is withheld comes to about 1,500 euros. Just for comparison, if this figure seems unduly low, the state pensions of many Belgians come to just a few hundred euros; and you have to have been very successful in your working career to receive a pension equivalent to those same 1,500 euros.
Let us assume that my electricity and heating costs are well above average because of the size of my home and the unimproved state of our insulation. Let us assume that these same 70% of the population have total energy costs now of 900 euros a month, or half of what I will be paying in effect. In a household where there is only one breadwinner, this would leave just 600 euros a month for food, apartment rent or mortgage payments and all other expenses. The arithmetic just doesn’t work. Your household budget will be in sharp deficit each month.
I have taken Belgium as my example, but I assure the reader that the numbers for income and outgo of the majority of the populations in neighboring European countries are not much different. That is true even in Germany despite its seeming prosperity. So what will the people do about it? At what point does public indignation and growing poverty spill over into social and political unrest? …

On the upside, T-bone is a better nickname. I suspect Dan rather likes being called Chairman.

Hey Big Spender….
“Independent MP Allegra Spender has played down the role Australia’s wealthiest political donors had in the campaigns of the six successful teal candidates, who it was revealed on Monday received $10.2m in political donations at the federal election.
Ms Spender told ABC RN she wanted to lead the way on reforms to political donations but “can’t do that on my own”.
“It was an expensive campaign; I think for me the biggest difference however was the volunteers,” she said.
“I’m really proud of the volunteers, and I’m very grateful for the donations as well, because honestly, if you’re an independent it’s a lot just to be known in the community, that takes a lot of time.
“I believe we should fundamentally reform how we do political spending, but I can’t do that on my own.”
Ms Spender said while wealthy business figures including Scott Farquhar and Mike Cannon-Brookes had driven Climate 200’s election funding, there had been more than 11,000 total donors in a “massive community movement”.
“Let’s be honest about how political donations really work – at the last election an estimated $300m was spent by Labor and the Coalition … we don’t know where 85 per cent of that money came from,” she said.
“I think that we could really see a fundamental shift in political funding.”””
Firstly, you have to love Big Spender’s chutzpah.
Secondly, as for Big Spender’s statement “she wanted to lead the way on reforms to political donations but “can’t do that on my own“. Her whole political existence is due to Sinister Svengali Simon and other climate hypocrites such as Cannon-Brookes. Without their financial largesse Big Spender is nothing. Having watched her cult campaign here in Wentworth, it would have given the Moonies a run in creepy cult like behaviour and actions.

A Texan walks into a pub in Ireland and clears his throat to the crowd of drinkers.
He says “I hear you Irish are a bunch of hard drinkers. I’ll give $500 American dollars to anybody in here who can drink 10 pints of Guinness back-to-back”.
The room is quiet, and no one takes up the Texan’s offer. One man even leaves.
Thirty minutes later the same gentleman who left shows up and taps the Texan on the shoulder. “Is your bet still good?” asks the Irishman.
The Texan says yes and asks the bartender to line up 10 pints of Guinness. Immediately the Irishman tears into all 10 of the pint glasses, drinking them all back-to-back.
The other pub patrons cheer as the Texan sits in amazement.
The Texan gives the Irishman the $500 and says “If ya don’t mind me askin’, where did you go for that 30 minutes you were gone?”
The Irishman replies “Oh… I had to go to the pub down the street to see if I could do it first”.
The Chairman knows the Victoriastan justice system is on his side. I hope he buys Rob Hull and Shane Patton a beer when this is all disappeared.
One of the advantages of being disorderly is that one is constantly making exciting discoveries.

Hildebrand is like Waleed Aly. Ya gotta have a panel member who’s male – although if you’re fully woke then you have a trannie – but you want one who is not too aggressive, and is fully prepared to admit he’s inherently a member of the oppressors.
Must be prepared to get a bit teary-eyed if necessary.
Deferring to any females on the same panel is definitely a requirement. Or female guests. Even if they are speaking absolute rubbish.
Unless right-wing female pollies.
Must be difficult being Joe or Waleed. And quite horrible.
The court of public opinion not so much, it would seem.
If & when that becomes apparent, protecting Andrews might not be worth the trouble.
What a sad state the Australian political press are in. No one is listening to their rubbish.
It’s going to be a wipeout when a Pommy election finally happens. The whole Tory base will vote for the Reform Party or someone, anyone else. First past the post is excellent for putting the boot in.
Here the Libs can stiff the base because of the preference system. The only alternative is to vote informal, as I have been doing. That takes mental effort (you can’t put in a blank ballot, they’ll just pencil in the Liars) and also denies reasonable parties any chance like SFF, PHON or AC. Purple is not my favourite colour.

The continuing proof of the saying that “Government is the only form of life with 100 bellies and no brain.”
This may have been discussed on this forum previously, but I missed it.
Last year, the Russians put forward a motion, in the UN, to oppose Nazism.
Two nations voted NO. The US and Ukraine. (No surprises there).
A few weeks ago, the Russians put the same motion forward again.
This time, 52 nations voted against it and 15 nations abstained.
How do you think Australia voted?
We abstained.
Australia is NOT committed to oppose this vile ideology.
Will it be the Jews and homosexuals taking the hits again, do you think?
I doubt it.
What a fucking disgrace!
Independence is hardly at issue. The ABC considers its ‘independence’ to be their entitlement to be as biased and dishonest as they like and no government should have the power to interfere with them on their adventures.
They use the word as giving them permission to be as political one-sided as they wish.
Impartiality is the key. Reinstate that obligation and the independence bit immediately changes complexion and returns to an obligation on government not to try to influence editorialship.
Impartiality is likely covered under integrity but it really should be a heading all of its own. And how can anyone argue against it – well, out loud and in public. In those stinking little rooms in Ultimo where they all sniff each others’ farts they will be saying that they have to represent people who are underrepresented (as assessed by them) and giving a voice to the voiceless (as in fringe loonies who should be able to shout down the rest of the country).

Makes you wonder if the overwhelming support for #istandwithdan on Twatter, with barely a word of opposition, wasn’t somehow facilitated by the now defunct Asia-Pacific content curation group.
Cute since the Russians are Nazis too. If they want to denazify someone they should buy a mirror.
And yes the Ukrainians are also, especially the Azovites. Baddies vs baddies.
“What a sad state the Australian political press are in. No one is listening to their rubbish.”

Fond memories of late 1987 in QLD, Bear.
When the weight of a premier’s corruption threatens to take the whole party down, things can turn against them very quickly.
Don’t forget the Chairman and the Liars won the last election with the Red Shirts known and members of Cabinet refusing to cooperate with the investigation. Victoriastan might as well be another country.
I guess so. Think Wran and Brian Burke. You may be right. We’ll see.
The problem for the cop begins with her visible tatts and compound from there.
Andrews will go when he wants to, like Steve Bracks. No one is turfing him out, particularly not Mr Slug.
As for the Vic election, yawn another Labor rout.
There might be a few extra seats for the Greens though, 14% at the latest poll.
Too right wing eh Monty?
Yup.
When I think of him on that TV show I think of him as a gelded neurotic quasi-man, body clenched, watching the grande dames around him like a beaten dog as they air their haughty decrees, but he himself remans ingratiating and desperate for just that one crumb of condescending approbation.
Oh, he might try to pose as holding contrary opinion as a tactic to seem more engaging, but a single glaring look has him head on the floor, looking up anxiously and with his tail wagging nervously.
We’re all ‘Nazis’.

I think I have mentioned this before, but when I was an undergrad student doing my Community Medicine (nowadays known as ‘Epidemiology’) Honours back in the 80’s, I was referred to Perfesser Esterman for advice on how to statistically analyse my data. He told me to use ‘Logisitic Regression Analysis’. He was a senior statistical adviser to the SA govt at the time.
Not knowing what logistic regression was, I set up a simple data set (ie one with known results) and ran it through that analysis, just to get a feel for what the method was doing.
To my surprise, it wasn’t giving the results that it should have, based upon his advice, so I took the results back to him.
After a few days, it transpired that he had been giving incorrect advice to government for years, and he was (quote) ‘extremely shocked’ that an undergrad student had found this out.

Victoria is getting Labor no matter who they vote for.
Let’s not forget the Tyranasaurus Rex-sized media analyst squad working for Dan.
Paid by taxpayers to get Dan across the line, no matter what.
Things continue until it becomes apparent things can’t continue any more. Nothing the Chairman has faced down looks existential – even pepper spraying grandmas in the street. Which says a lot about the Victoriastan majority. (Some commenters get a bit sensitive if you just say Victoriastanis)
It’s the sum of the vectors I assume.
Perhaps she eschews all that because they need a few people who look a bit normalish to look slightly more credible when acting as a spokesthing on TV.

At its essence, it was about going after the Catholic Church and the targeting of Cardinal Pell. The RC should have been shut down by Abbott when he won in 2013, or its terms of reference should have been widened. It was another failure of the Abbott PMship.
And the end result? An innocent man went to jail.
Kennett had police baton charging parents to close down primary schools. At least it’s bipartisan.
Addit:
Unless a glancing sideswipe or very low speed ‘reverse into’ collision, when a car strikes a pedestrian, the impact point is usually along the front bumper. Given the COG of the pedestrian is higher than this, it causes the torso of said pedestrian to rotate around the bonnet edge and come down forcefully on the bonnet. Whilst this is happening, the vehicle is also moving forwards, which causes the torso to slide up the bonnet edge for some distance before the head strike occurs.
The further along the bonnet the head strike occurs, the faster the vehicle was going. Head contacts on the windscreen (as in the Dan case) or roof thus indicate quite high speed impacts.
This is somewhat clouded in the case of a cyclist, who may be travelling much faster than a pedestrian, but nevertheless, my read, based upon the limited information in the pictures, is that the Ford’s right front bumper was the initial contact point, followed by a head strike half way up the windscreen.
Either the bike ran head on into the car at speed (unlikely) or the car struck the cyclist from the side at speed. The latter would appear more likely.

Hildebrand writes twee sludge
Hehe, ‘Logisitic Regression Analysis’ is one of those magic phrases used to baffle pollies and alphabet agency denizens. Like ‘Ensemble Climate Model’. It works. They don’t have enough education to check themselves, and almost never get a pair of independent eyes in to verify (particularly not if the Logisitic Regression Analysis is feeding into what they want to do anyway.)
At least in my case I had my models and data externally audited by independent statisticians and professional process modelers several times. Which was a good thing for the company to do.
If so, why now? Surely they would dump sufficiently before the election to run a ‘fresh face’ and hope to win, or just after it, even if they did win?
Since in this instance he basically contradicted his own advice it didn’t require that much effort. 😀
Like ive said before bear unlike wa, Victoria actually elected 3 nominally right of centre senators last may. I’m not sure what you’re smug about with your left wing lawyer premier .
Duk – it may be now or never. A few have tried and failed already, only to resign or go the crossbench.
Roger:
The whole ‘repatriation’ thing is about seeding another cluster of the Islamic Cancer. The other thing to note is the people who are ‘falling’ for this narrative. They are not innocent dupes, they are willing accomplices acting in common cause with people who want to destroy our culture in a most barbaric war.
It seems plausible that there’s a clique within the VIC ALP who don’t yet have the numbers to roll Dan but are preparing the ground for the kairos.
Hastening the eschaton, so to speak (hello Dot!).
He must have made quite a few enemies along the way, after all.
Knowing the area where the “T bone”crash occurred it’s highly likely the kid could cross the road without seeing the car and the car driver not see the kid.
The problem is not with the accident but with the police not following procedure and Dan’s improbable account of the incident that looks like a self serving defence rather than an honest account that saw a kid badly injured.
Dan loves to move on and put his past behaviour in the “do not open” file.
It’s a pity that a road accident that no one would have wished for is the catalyst to examine Andrew’s character rather than the repugnant nature of his brutal covid policies that sort to criminalise decent citizens who questioned his capricious health orders.
Ah yes, the Fauci model!
Oh dear I seem to have hit a nerve. Not sure too many people would accuse Sneakers of being left wing. We are about to have the police join the nurses in industrial action over pay disputes.
I put some diesel in the Landcruiser today. The purchaser before me had just paid $850 for 350 odd litres.
On my phone in an 1855 mansion in Natchez, back in Mississippi and now sitting out in a balmy nite clutching my 2nd bourbon and coke looking out from the bluff where this small boutique hotel is positioned, watching barges regularly roll down Ole Man Ribber. I was worried at first that this slightly quirky place may not have Fox News for tonite and tomorrow nite but they do. What a relief or we’d have to move. Left the cousins to their own election squabbles, but can report that no Democrat we’ve met is happy with the Democrats and a red Republican wave is anticipated. Probably it would be secretly welcomed.
Hairy promised my cousin with whom we stayed that he’d definitely have a go on the buffalo gun next time.
It has suddenly turned velvet dark, tine to go in. When we arrived the owner was apologising that our room and the verandah had been subject to a ladybug invasion. They were everywhere. We’re Australian, we can cope, we assured him, but glad we have lots of aeroguard with us.
Perhaps he is hoping he will have forgotten by the time he goes to fill up again.
Joe Hildebrand is Ruperdink Mudrock’s designated Labor voter for all News Corp Australian newspapers and websites.
He doesn’t write “analysis”. He writes pre-arranged propaganda with pre-arranged conclusions.
He got that job because he is a willing gun-for-hire with no professional ethics — perfect, for example, for News Corp’s site for gullible lefties, news.com.au.
He has a young family. I’m guessing he’s on close to $1 million p.a. not counting half a mill or so being a lefty on Network 10’s morning show.
I couldn’t live with myself. But I also don’t have a young family to feed.
On the birth numbers – it could be that the Boomers’ babies are finished having babies. Blip, blip, flop.
This place, Nachez, is an old Mississippi River port, and along with other ports was important for supply lines in the civil war, so battles took place for port control. It is now of course very trendy with refurbishments of cottages and mansions for tourism. These boutique places are always a gamble re what you get for the outrageous charges they want though. Hairy is now having difficulty getting up Fox so is getting very cross. Keep calm, it’s some app, I tell him. Call the manager man with the incomprehensible accent who is standing in for the deaf woman who has lost her hearing aid, I suggest.

He does that and it is fixed now. All quiet again on the Mississippi front.
Where’s that quote from Duk? Russian energy is still quite on the nose.
Vucic for the Financial Times:”Serbia rushing to reduce its energy dependency on Russia” (7 Nov)
Serbia is keen on getting into the EU of course despite being a long time ally of Russia. I think this counts as a huge backflip as the whole of WW1 was caused by the Serbo-Russian linkage. The aim is to join in 2025, but to do that they have to keep the Eurocrats sweet.
Geopolitics are interesting and very hypocritical. Never stand between a pollie and a bucket of crude oil (so long as it isn’t Russian).
I’m just finishing a beautiful old-fashioned German mohair teddy bear for the latest family addition. There hasn’t been a baby born in the entire extended family for over three years, even though all the young cousins are well and truly of marrying/reproducing age.
They just aren’t forming lasting relationships or having babies. From choice. It’s really sad.

I have no problem with the media dredging up the accident story.
They had no problems reporting a possibly punched piece of gyprock. An actual cyclist on life support and an obvious police whitewash makes that first very small beer.
I remember thirty years ago driving the Fairlane back from Walkerville to Melbourne when the alternator light came on just as the sun was going down.
Then Rosie and I got to play “will there be enough charge in the battery to get home” for the next 100km.
Amazingly, the entire world now seems to want to turn all driving into the same exciting experience.
They’ll either have to do a u-turn on the old fossil fuel bans or most people will have to go back to a mainly very limited radius of freedom and get to enjoy the wonderful ambience of public transport. Like it is the 1880s again.
Made it home and found that old voltage regulator had a set of points inside that had fused together. A quick and easy job to fix.
A large chunk of very unwise people are locking us into a future of expensive and limited transportation, in the hope that some future technological solutions will fix the plethora of likely failure points in their plans.
It’s insanity.

Yep, nowadays my first question during any police interaction is ‘I am going to film this incident for my protection, do you agree to that?’
The next is to repeatedly ask ‘Is that a lawful order’ whenever they ask for ID etc etc etc.
Sad isn’t it? I worked side by side with the Police for decades when I was a Paramedic/Retrieval Dr/Volunteer Fireman. Now my standard position is to assume they are going to hurt/frame me and to be as obstructive as possible.

DOJ Announces Sending Election Enforcement Division to 64 Counties in 24 States to Ensure Correct Votes for Biden Regime
November 7, 2022 | Sundance
In foreign countries when the ruling government sends federal police or military agents of the regime in power to “monitor elections,” U.S. politicians and media call it intimidation, corruption and election fraud. When Joe Biden sends federal police to monitor elections, U.S. politicians and media call it “protecting democracy.” The process is identical.
Comrades, earlier today the political branch of the Dept of Justice announced their dispatch to key Democrat cities and counties in order to support the correct regime voting process. No, really, they did. [LINK]
Zippy, there may be a problem with the figures. See here.
Unless there was a humongous number of miscarriages in 2021, the conception month of March saw AZ arrive and given only to the elderly. Younger cohorts received nothing until a couple of months later unless they were considered emergency or essential workers.
Presumably in 2019 the security agencies scanned the phone content of the 4 ladies recently returned, and what they found was part of the justification for the advice they gave Dutton not to repatriate them on security grounds.
There are instances of Islamists being deradicalised, but even the “experts” concede that success is difficult to achieve. It certainly wouldn’t be likely to happen given the attitudes prevailing in those secure camps in Syria, which the author of that article gave a first hand insight into.
