Mr Ed, signing a consent decree doesn’t equal fessing up as guilty. It’s the equivalent on Wall Street, of paying a fine to the SEC and neither admitting nor denying guilt.
“Only in a bungled multi-billion defence project would a government even try to hide a lazy $591 million in additional costs,” he said. “When we pay an extra $591 million for not building submarines, we lose those funds for public housing, schools or income relief.’’
Sorry, Albo, I’ll believe it when I see it.
Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews may have made a big mistake
THE Victorian Treasurer has denied a leaked report that found Premier Daniel Andrews stuffed up when he ditched the East West Link project.
Mr Andrews was accused of wasting $1.1 billion of federal funding when he scrapped the proposed 18km road to help relieve congestion and deal with population growth in Melbourne.
Mr Andrews created Infrastructure Victoria to get advice on other road priorities, but it seems it has backfired and the Herald Sun reports the body will release a report saying the East West Link is important to “meet Victoria’s infrastructure needs”.
Treasurer Tim Pallas denied the report and said the Labor government would never resurrect the dumped East West Link, despite Infrastructure Victoria’s support for the project.
The Victorian Government axed the toll road project when it won the 2014 election, ultimately spending $1.1 billion not to build it.
Mr Ed, signing a consent decree doesn’t equal fessing up as guilty.
Yeah, I got that.
It’s the equivalent on Wall Street, of paying a fine to the SEC and neither admitting nor denying guilt.

Otherwise, no.

The kids decamped to the KFC just up the road and the canteen went bottom up. The new vendors then kept the healthy menu but quietly sold the good stuff from under the counter. Amazing how going against human nature never works.

I don’t think that any federal funds were wasted for that failed project, it all came out of Victoria’s budget. Tony Abbott told Andrews that no federal funds would be provided if the CFMEU were associated with the project. Andrews then spat the dummy and the project was closed, and the Victorian government (not the Feds) had to cough up the cancellation costs.

Miranda has redeemed herself in the last few years, particularly since she moved to the Big Apple (she was born in NYC) and took a job working for the Post. However, I remember how she spruiked for Turdbull and became his biggest admirer when he was PM. She was furious when he was outed in August 2018. I’ve often thought the reason why she joined the Turdbull train in 2015 was because of her considerable disappointment with Abbott. And sure, I can understand that, we all were, however whilst Abbott was disappointing, Turdbull (and later Morrison) proved disastrous for the Liberal Party.
Here’s my prediction…
Trump will NOT be President before 31st January 2023.

Folau’ documentary: Wallabies star claims Rugby Australia stopped Christian players supporting teammate
A new documentary on Israel Folau shines fresh light on Rugby Australia’s role in the divisive saga, with current Wallabies star Sam Kerevi making explosive claims in the two-part series.
A new documentary on Israel Folau shines fresh light on Rugby Australia’s role in the culture wars that are still dividing Australian sport.
At the same time that national sporting bodies are being scrutinised for virtue signalling and meddling in complex social issues, the two-part ABC film – entitled Folau – is sure to raise new questions about one of the most divisive cases sport has seen.
Samu Kerevi, arguably the best player in the current Wallabies’ set-up, has gone on public record for the first time claiming Christian players who agreed with Folau’s religious views were barred from publicly supporting their teammate.
And Kerevi – one of the few players who went against those instructions and ‘liked” Folau’s social posting saying “hell awaits” “drunks, homosexuals, adulterers, liars, fornicators, thieves, atheists and idolators ” – doesn’t stop there.
In what turned out to be a precursor to the Manly pride jersey fiasco that rocked the NRL this year, Kerevi also claimed RA caused a deep split in the rugby ranks five years ago by adding a rainbow to its logo.
The inclusion of the rainbow symbolised RA’s support to vote ‘yes’ in the same-sex marriage survey, but as the Sea Eagles recently discovered there was a problem.
Kerevi said he and other Polynesian players were never consulted about their beliefs.
“No one came up to us and asked us if we support it,” Kerevi said.
“You know, no one asked us our opinion on it. They just said, you know, Rugby Australia supports gay marriage.”
Kerevi also told the film makers that players who supported Folau were kept away from the media when the issue blew up three years ago, triggering a national row over freedom of religion and speech, employments contracts and the protection from discrimination of the LGBTQI community.
RA has always denied muzzling players, but Kerevi says otherwise.
“We got told from our media teams not to say anything about supporting Izzy or saying anything at all,” he said.
“But after those coming days it was everyone that didn’t support him was all over the news. They were to be interviewed. They were allowed to say that they don’t support the message.”
The documentary focuses largely on the view of Polynesians around the case and Kerevi says he sees ‘both sides’ because he has gay family members.
But he also says the whole saga, which resulted in Folau losing his contract and missing the 2019 World Cup, although he received a $3.1 million payout, represented a case of serious double standards.
“If someone does domestic violence and he’s OK to play, but someone that’s posted something that was in the Bible, no, let’s not play on,” he said.
Two years in the making, the two-part series, which goes to air November 21 and November 28, includes interviews with a wide range of people, representing different views.
Michael Cheika, who was then the Wallabies coach, opened up about the anguish it caused, saying: “That was a really difficult time for the team. Really difficult.
“I was confronted in the street aggressively, many times by people. I imagine that was happening to players as well.”
World Cup finalists in 2015 when Folau was in the side, the Wallabies have never recovered since he was booted off the team, bombing out early at the 2019 World Cup and slumping down the world rankings in the years since.
One of Australia’s greatest fullbacks, the dual-code international played 73 Tests for the Wallabies, and scored 37 tries, before his contract was terminated, setting off a messy legal squabble.
Now 33, he currently plays for Japanese club Urayasu D-Rocks and made a brief return to the international arena this year for Tonga, but lasted less than half an hour before limping off injured.
Labor (excludes ‘u’) has a habit of doing that:
Don’t want Latham? Then have Rudd!
Don’t want Shorten? Then have Albo!
All girls can be mean, Bear. Some of it can be misplaced.
Which reminds me, all well now or are you still receiving WA Health’s tender ministrations?
Hard to see how Peanut Head could have done any more damage than Waffleworth, SloMo & Josh (although I expect he would have).
As much as I enjoyed seeing labor lose an election they thought they had in the bag, I think the country is worse off. The coalition would have been better in opposition through Covid and shorten could not have been much worse than Morrison. But, if my auntie was a man she would be my uncle……then again, that saying doesn’t quite work anymore.
Nope. Departed around 4:00pm Sunday. After a 15 minute treatment. Grrrrrr.
They muzzled Folau and his teammates, but they never muzzled Pocock.

Reith at 72 – way too young. I believe he had a stroke five years ago poor man.
He’ll be a hard act to follow – one of very few capable of explaining John Hewson’s “Fightback.”
I did not realise Sir Charles Gardiner Hospital is part of the North Metropolitan Health Service. Which goes part of the way to explaining how you don’t even notice a $15m fraud. I expect it is a rounding error on their operating budget.
Indeed, great article. You knew something was a miss when Anglosphere and EU clown posse were falling over themselves to congratulate the corrupt Lula, claiming the elections were free and fair, and the alphabet agencies were previously in attendence.
RIP Peter. He was my local member in the 90s and early 00s.

Much of the world’s silver is for industrial use, and a lot of it is lost after use.
A small percentage is used for jewellery and ornaments, and an even smaller percentage is used for investment purposes.
However, it can be viewed as a ‘safe haven” commodity, it is relatively cheap to buy at around $A1000 a kilo, and is readily tradeable.
Many mining operations treat silver as a by product, often not worth the cost of processing and refining, so if for whatever reason the spot price skyrocketed, and if it could be profitably processed, the supply side would swing into action and the ready availability of silver would bring the price back down again.

This came in my email from ‘The Spectator’, I wouldn’t be at all amazed if it is true. Back in May the Libs did their preferences in order to hurt many freedom party candidates. They truly don’t deserve to win. Many people just won’t vote for the minor parties.
“Last week, some readers excoriated this newsletter for defending the Vic Libs against effective collusion with an authoritarian and lockdown-happy Andrews government. But if a reported shonky, shabby, stupid preference deal favouring the Greens in vulnerable Labor seats, making Victoria even safer for the loony Left, goes ahead, there is a special place in political Hell – next to that idiot WA Liberal leader who reduced his party to two seats last year – reserved for the so-called leaders who make it. Should it proceed, selling out Liberal principles for expedience, entrenching ingrate Greens, and shafting loyal party members, is reprehensible. The party leadership today must deny the reports and commit to never doing any such deal. Or do it, and see who mans the booths for the Liberals on polling day – nobody. Do these foolish people actually want to win?”
Stephen, this is in the Oz….
Libs eye Greens to smash Andrews’ Labor
JOHN FERGUSON
The Victorian Liberal Party is investigating preferencing the Greens over Labor in crucial seats amid debate about how to use the minor party to undermine Daniel Andrews’ hold on power.
The Liberal Party is in the final stages of discussions over preferences, with officials looking to favour the Greens to diminish Labor’s lower house numbers.
Sources said the party was leaning towards sticking by its slogan of “Put Labor last”, which could have a significant impact on the government’s attempts to retain the left-leaning inner-city seats of Richmond (5.9 per cent) and Northcote (1.7 per cent).
Those seats could be key to Labor remaining in majority government if its vote falls, as it has done since 2018. The last Newspoll points to up to 10 government seats falling amid a near six-point drop in primary vote support over the four years.
It’s a dangerous dance with the devil.

At least the mid terms are keeping the climate rubbish in Egypt mostly off the front page, at least at the sites I look at. This one made me laugh though:
Macron Urges US, China To Pay Their “Fair Share” For Climate Change (8 Nov)
Good luck with that. Asking China to pay their fair share? ROFL!
Thanks Cassie. I’ve said it before, the left do stick together and even if they hate each other they will preference other left parties to keep the Libs out. The Libs really don’t care for principles just power and if that means hurting similar right leaning parties they will do it. They would rather not be in government than share it with minor parties.

“Sweden Wins! Country That Refused Lockdown and Kept Schools Open Has Lowest Pandemic Cumulative Excess Mortality in the World”

The next phase of the US electoral cycle will be all about generational change within in the DNC.
I would not want to be a 80 something DNC member of the house or congress when the Tech Bros start funding people half your age in primaries.

Ah yes, the pettiness of the Liberal Party when it comes to other parties on the right, particularly towards the Lib Dems and PHON. I should just remind people that this pettiness has resulted in the current senate makeup. The WA Liberals preferred to preference the Greens and Labor ahead of PHON.
Here in Wentworth, back in May, the Liberals put PHON behind the Greens, Labor and Big Spender. If you didn’t laugh you’d cry.
If the Victorian Liberals proceed down the road of emboldening the Greens, a party I consider to be no different to the Nazis, then they will reap what they sow.
If you’re a Tech Bro, you can see how targeted support from Peter Thiel can give you outsized influence within the GOP.
Instead of Zuck & Hoffman etc funding the top of the funnel, they can target 10-20 house & senate seats, get all the influence they need for a fraction of the price.
And they can do it over the next 2 years where the DNC won’t be chairing any committees that could potentially cause them grief.
Ex Chuck Schumer, all the old guard is going to have to be looking over their shoulder.
Whats a woman? I’m not a biologist.
Thanks sfw. Interesting article.
“Higher excess non-Covid deaths” – does this point to the sick, or perhaps the soon-to-be-sick, succumbing to their illnesses because of lack of services during the interminable lockdowns?
Sweden is at over 73% fully vaccinated so perhaps that is not playing into the figures as much as some may think.
What’s wrong with putting Labor last?
That’d mean you’d have to put the Greens second last.
Custard.
You have until 10 AM today NSW time to accept the wager from me.
Just got the dreaded error message when I replied to your comment, Cassie. (Sent it off to Dover as Exhibit A).
The conservative parties will never win out unless they focus on winning. Too much other garbage swirling around in their campaigns.
Ignore the left’s caterwauling is my advice Calli.
The press is the enemy.
The establishment is the enemy.
The professors are the enemy.
It just goes to a failure to remain on brand and message. You can’t please everyone.
