Trumble has picked out, as fumbling through a thick fog, what is batshit plain obvious to everyone else: Big government naturally tends toward an elite upper class beyond the reach of the lower people and yet is itself able to reach down to the very bottom of their pockets.
Because he laboured so long working this out, and because he is so incredibly vain, he wants to advance the big government cause because fate has, for some perverse reasoning of its own, not granted him the recognition and the reward he is sure is his due.
I do hope the people on Outsiders pick up on his latest damp attempt at gaslighting and put the question someone has asked above: What are the policies that supposedly make the Victorian hard-right? They could invite him to come onto the show and back up his claims.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parable_of_the_broken_window
The parable of the broken window was introduced by French economist Frédéric Bastiat in his 1850 essay “That Which We See and That Which We Do Not See” (“Ce qu’on voit et ce qu’on ne voit pas”) to illustrate why destruction, and the money spent to recover from destruction, is not actually a net benefit to society.
The parable seeks to show how opportunity costs, as well as the law of unintended consequences, affect economic activity in ways that are unseen or ignored. The belief that destruction is good for the economy is consequently known as the broken window fallacy or glazier’s fallacy.
They are coming for Monty…
The federal MP for Clark has introduced to parliament a bill focused on ‘loot boxes’, a video game feature where players gamble to win virtual assets, often with real money. The bill would regulate game classification, requiring all games that feature ‘loot boxes’ be clearly labelled and carry an R classification – ‘in line with the fact that you must be 18 to legally gamble’, Andrew Wilkie says
..
Given Montyslugs activities over the last week i think we should form a pressure group to have the dangerous gateway activity that is so called fantasy football strictly regulated and only available to consenting adults after they have undertake a 5 day course in the dangers of the activity.
based on the precautionary principle – if it prevents one waif from gambling later on – its worth it.
But is there a danger to school-age students wagering money in their fantasy leagues? Do fantasy sports promote gambling habits that may spell disaster for school-age children if they carry those habits over into adulthood?
I think at a minimum we must shut down the whole thing until a thorough investigation takes place.
We must email Mr Wilkie immediately with our sensible precautions. Only vested interests would dispute the justice of our cause.
Obviously people pushing this perverted product are the moral equivalent of child pornographers and pimps, and their squeals of piggy like outrage must be discounted.
“At the heart of the Liberal Party’s defeat in the Victorian election on Saturday is the paradox that in this, the most small “l” liberal state in Australia, the Liberal Party has been taken over by the hard right and is therefore at odds with the electorate whose support it seeks”
I’m going to counteract Malturd’s malicious claims that the Liberal Party has been taken over by the hard right with evidence, coz I really like evidence…
Evidence 1 – in March 2021, we watched as the West Australian Liberals veered even further to the left than WA Labor under Zac Cockup, the Liberal’s climate emissions targets made Labor’s look reasonable, so what happened? The Liberals lost in a landslide, the Liberal representation in the state parliament has been reduced to two or three seats (perhaps some WA Cat can confirm this).
Evidence 2 – in March 2022, we watched a first-term South Australian Liberal government under Steven Marshmallow, a government that on just about every issue veered further left than SA Labor, from late-term abortion to euthanasia to green left climate targets, lose in a landslide.
Evidence 3 – in November 2022 we witnessed a lame Victorian Liberal Party, under the quisling Matthew Guy, once again lose in a landslide to Labor, because all he and the party did was parrot Labor, tread softly, cower in the corner, smear and isolate core Liberal voters, and traduce men and women like Bernie Finn and Renee Heath.
Evidence 4 – well I’m jumping the gun here but here’s my prediction, in March 2023 the NSW Liberal government will be consigned to the dustbin of history. This state government, the most left-wing Liberal government in the country, will be thrashed.
So much for the Turd’s claim that “the Liberal Party has been taken over by the hard right“. He knows those words aren’t true, what he’s doing is deliberate gaslighting to undermine the party because he wants the party destroyed….and guess what, he’s succeeding.
Grey Ranga:
This is the same model as state funding for media. It’s all bribes and those who report bad news or news the government may not like don’t get the juicy ads.

Defence Minister Richard Marles has given the clearest indication yet that Labor will build nuclear submarines onshore in Australia.
Speaking to the House of Representatives, Mr Marles said the government was on track to make an announcement in the first part of next year, and argued it would be one of Australia’s “great national endeavours”.
“The Albanese government thinks very differently,” Mr Marles said. “We are not concerned about politics, we are only interested and focus on the national interest.
“Working with our partners in the United Kingdom and the United States about what will be the optimal pathway for Australia’s future, nuclear powered submarines and we are on track to be able to make that announcement in the first part of next year and build nuclear submarines in this country will be one of Australia’s great national endeavours.
“It will transform our strategic posture. It will build our sovereignty and it will empower Australia as a nation.”

Queensland Senator Demands National Security Alert over WEF Global Domination
From Armstrong Economics –
“Klaus Schwab has publicly boasted about infiltrating government cabinets around the world. His plans for the Great Reset are public information that anyone can access. The World Economic Forum (WEF) molds its Young Leaders as they see fit and strategically places them in positions of power throughout every global agency and government. The agenda has never been a mystery, as Schwab states his intentions on his website, in books, and in every interview. His ideas seem so outlandish to the average person that they have been dismissed as merely a conspiracy, with Schwab being seen as an eccentric billionaire who wants to better the world.
Senator Malcolm Roberts from Queensland is now demanding answers. Schwab’s growing infiltration of government should have triggered a National Security Alert, Roberts said. No one voted for Schwab or the WEF to lead them. “Parliament belongs to no one but the Australian people,” Roberts firmly stated.
Roberts has been speaking out against the WEF for some time. If the Great Reset is a conspiracy theory, why are governments following the WEF’s policies? “The Global Identity Project is designed to shift the global economy away from private ownership and into what the WEF calls an “access model” where you own nothing but rent goods and services from the world’s billionaires and billionaire corporations,” Roberts explained earlier in the year. He warned that they are using “sustainability” as a lie to turn the public into slaves who have no power over their government and will create a closed-loop economy.
Schwab and his WEF are indeed a threat to national security across the globe. Who are they paying, and how has he successfully infiltrated governments across the world? Leaders like Trudeau, who blatantly follow Schwab’s advice, are not fit to lead and should be investigated for their part in destroying the world economy to Build [it] Back Better.”

In 1992, Victorian Labor was crushed by a Jeff Kennett Coalition. Labor at that election secured 38.41% primary vote.
In 2022, Labor is heading for a 35 to 36% primary vote
64% did not vote for Victorian Labor. Close to 3 million voters.
So Kennett had a landslide when Labor got 38% first preferences, that means that the utterly useless Libs didn’t get the votes, people voted for other parties. Plus the way many seats are composed it does tilt ( a little) towards Labor. Oh well 4 more years of wasting billions of $ and more corruption and brutality. Some people want that, and they’re going to get it. good and hard.

Mole, that has nothing at all to do with fantasy football, so it doesn’t affect my core business in the slightest.

He is probably still scarred by his efforts in the Hindmarsh Island fraud.
Australia is fucked:
In a historic ruling today, a Queensland court has said the massive Clive Palmer-owned Galilee Basin coal project should not go ahead because of its contribution to climate change, its environmental impacts, and because it would erode human rights.
The case was mounted in 2020 by a First Nations-led group of young people aged 13 to 30 called Youth Verdict. It was the first time human rights arguments were used in a climate change case in Australia.
The link between human rights and climate change is being increasingly recognised overseas. In September this year, for example, a United Nations committee decided that by failing to adequately address the climate crisis, Australia’s Coalition government violated the human rights of Torres Strait Islanders.
Youth Verdict’s success today builds on this momentum. It heralds a new era for climate change cases in Australia by youth activists, who have been frustrated with the absence of meaningful federal government policy.

Then, she went on to say that she just wants her mum to be happy and meet a good man. (provided, apparently, that the daughter agrees with the choice).

Fiasco? I’m not so sure ZK2A. From the air, the lakes of the near Coorong to the Murray Mouth does resemble a woman’s biology so it is possible that early aboriginals in their flying machines (or possibly using drones) noticed the resemblance and thus the aboriginal women declared it secret women’s business. We should ask Bruce Pascoe – he would know about early aboriginal aviation.

“Real Housewives of D.C. star Catherine Ommanney has opened up about her “passionate” fling with Prince Harry before he met his wife Meghan Markle, revealing their first kiss left her “speechless”.”
Meghan said to be miffed about access to royal jewels (27 Nov)
“Meghan Markle is said to be fuming that she has no access to the royal jewels. At King Charles III’s first state dinner for South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, Queen Consort Camilla wore a diamond and sapphire tiara that belonged to Queen Elizabeth II, while the Princess of Wales, Kate, wore the pearl and diamond tiara that was the favorite crown of the late Princess Diana. Markle is said to feel left out.”
I hope she runs for President of the United States as some say she wants to (and they want it too). That’d be a nation-sized reality TV show.

Should be essential watching for all high school students to really give them something to worry about rather than climate emergency and extinction rebellion shouting. The penny might drop about the disaster they are participating in bringing about with their green fantasies, if there was a following discussion on baseload power and its main sources. Insane messing around with complex networks of power in a distributed grid could land us in very hot water and it would be good for young people to consider this when being seduced by green climateers.
The wooly and waffling Teals swept into Parliament recently also could do with a dose of this reality.

I see that there has been discussion this afternoon of the wisdom of Malcolm Turnbull, also known as a legend in his own mind. He was kind enough to bestow on us commoners the pearls of his wisdom as to why Victorian Libs lost the election. He is never backward in coming forward.
I may have mentioned this before, a former work colleague used to study law at Sydney University at the same time as Malcolm. She remembers him as being lazy and usually late with his work yet so egotistical that he still expected to do better than everyone else. Nothing seems to have changed since then.

There are an additional seven advertisers which appear to be slowing the rate of their advertising on the platform to almost nothing.

Are any of Elizabeth Taylor’s jewels available for sale, the baubles Richard Burton bought her? If they are Harry can purchase them for Meghan , it’s only fitting now that they have taken up their reign in the Kingdom of Hollywood.
..
Bravo.
After that partner with states and do some nuke power stations.
Excellent. Not only do we now know who not to buy stuff from, but Elon will have to fire even more lefties to get the thing into the black. Win win!
Yes I know.
I use the word denialism a lot.
Why?
If you are in denial you will shut out all evidence that we have already been taken over by what are basically communists.
Why would you want to do this?
Because to admit the truth you would then have to come to the conclusion that you fell for communist fear propaganda and let people who want you dead and your civilisation obliterated…inject you.
You won’t do that!
See how it works?
Because you are in denial due to never admitting you let them jab you…anti western commies…..you delude yourselves that the Victorian elections were all above board.
Like they are in every communist shit hole.
It was just the silly voters!
This is sickening to observe.
This cognitive dissonance.
This denialism.
As I said before the farce called a state election in what is now a communist nation…….Dan Andrews was going to win.
Even if nobody voted for him.
Watching on e of those DashCam videos and I’ve come to a couple of conclusions:
.1 Australian is one of the worlds most boring languages to swear in,
.2 Far too many Australian drivers brake instead of just ramming the idiots who do idiotic things.
pushing th P agenda
So the no brainer is buy existing good quality Aussie Coal Cos. Competition is being locked in the ground.
So who is funding the court action against Palmer and co I wonder
Nope. Leftard Labor will cap coal prices.
Part of the the “progressives” relentless push for the lowering of the age of consent.
.3 People think turning on their indicator gives them right of way.
They even made a movie about Kinsey. A 100% dedicated Pedo.

We should ask Bruce Pascoe – he would know about early aboriginal aviation.
Wasn’t it Bruce Pascoe who floated the theory that Aboriginal pilots, flying strike fighters, were to have intercepted the First Fleet, and sunk it with all hands, but they were all away on secret “Men’s business” that day?
Yes, indeed. It has never been clear to me what happened to the early aboriginal submarine and surface warship fleet. What is needed is a thorough examination……who could we ask?…….I know, Top Ender! He’s very good at research of military matters and can put together a top read. Perhaps one of us should suggest to Top Ender that he take this on. You first.

Andrew Bolt and his two panellists are having a go at Malcolm and his rubbishing of Victorian Libs. Michael Kroger, one of the panelists, is in the Libs’ upper echelon so why doesn’t he take steps to have Mal thrown out of the Liberal Party? It would raise morale in at least a third of the country.
We think we have it rough, just check out the unrest in China, Iran, Brazil, Belgium, Netherlands. (OK, the last two are soccer related but unrest nonetheless.)
Young Crypto Founder Shocks Industry With Sudden Death at 30 in His Sleep
Kingman (unfortunate name for a leftist) is yet another example of the idiocracy that is wrecking this country. They really hate people who do stuff. So who is her husband?

I’ve long been amazed by his career as a supposedly righty pundit. He’s on speed dial for no reason I can conceive. Why do they pay his fee? Is he really cheap?

Nice theory there Frank.
Comes unstuck when the indicating vehicle is B double.
You probably use Edge + Norton as I do.
I called C.L.’s attention to this on newcatallaxy and he replied that because not many people use Edge that he would not bother to inform Microsoft of the safety of his blog which had been reported.
I admire C.L. and his comments but I lost a computer of 14months due to a virus attack a few years ago and I now take no chances.
Miami nightclubs will be in mourning.
Miami nightclub owners are struggling with slumping sales after losing top-spending crypto clientele in wake of FTX implosion and crypto downfall, report says (28 Nov)
“Crypto leaders aren’t the only ones feeling the blow of the cratering market and the downfall of FTX — so too are the Miami club owners who profited from regularly hosting some of the industry’s top spenders. Requests for $50,000 tables and bottle service for top-shelf liquor at the city’s hottest venues are drying up, according to a new report from the Financial Times.”
The stuff coming out about the crypto rubbish is excellent fun, especially the long list of luminaries taken in by it.
What in the Actual F— Is Wrong With These People? (26 Nov)
“You can’t make this up. Earlier this month, some dough-faced dork named Sam Bankman-Fried—an MIT grad and son of Stanford law professors—vaporized the GDP of a small country after successfully conning the entire world of so-called educated elites.
All of them. The freaks in Silicon Valley, the freaks on Wall Street, the freaks in Hollywood, and the freaks in Washington. Even (or especially) the journalists who are supposed to be holding everyone accountable. The smartest, most enlightened professional experts and self-appointed moral referees.
Bill Clinton. Tony Blair. The Democratic Party. Larry David. Tom Brady. Fortune magazine. Andrew Ross Sorkin. CNBC. The bald guy from Shark Tank. BlackRock, the $10 trillion investment firm where former Obama aides go to get rich and serve as “Global Head of Sustainable Investing.”
They all vouched for Bankrupt-Fraud and his blockchain stonk machine. Like they vouched for Elizabeth Holmes and her magic blood box. Like they vouched for Michael Avenatti and his bullshit litigation racket. The Lincoln Project. OZY Media. Stacey Abrams.”
Sort of like the climate scam, really. Anyone want to buy a tulip?

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-09-23/david-barbagallo-premier-chief-of-staff-cleared-of-corruption/12694032
The former Chief of Staff of Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk has been cleared of a corruption investigation alleging that he used his position to get hundreds of thousands of dollars in government funding for a private company he part-owned.
But the Crime and Corruption Commission probe into David Barbagallo found the former top ministerial staffer had failed to properly declare his business interests and had breached several laws
…
Good lord, what a fucktard.
The top ministerial staffer claimed the omissions in his Declaration of Interests were an oversight.
“I worked for Goss, we brought in the CCC stuff you know, we’re from the good guys,” Mr Barbagallo told the CCC.
“You know that other mob are the ones that are corrupt and f****d over this state, so you know I have an intellectual, philosophical and personal commitment.”
..
And why did he get away with it?
“The CCC considers Mr Barbagallo’s failure to declare his interests to the Premier breached certain legislative and policy requirements of his former position, which would have provided grounds for consideration of disciplinary action if he had not resigned from his position,” Mr MacSporran said.
“The employment contract has ended and there is no provision in the contract, or under the Ministerial Act, that is available to the Director-General to consider postseparation disciplinary action against Barbagallo for his failure to declare his interests as required.“

Re Sandakan, I have checked the location.
Assuming that Sandakan airport has a two mile long (10,500 feet) runway, which might be generous, the camp is about three and a half miles from the nearest point on the coast, and under ten miles from the current port.
A combined parachute drop and diversion of the Tarakan landing force there should have had a good chance of freeing the prisoners. Some might have died in the operation, but surely not as many as died on the Death March. There were only six survivors of some 2400 prisoners there.
They don’t want to know Indolent.
The POS who handed down the Clive Palmer Judgment said this:
“With declining demand for thermal coal, there is a real prospect the mine will not be viable throughout its projected life and not all the economic benefits will be realised,” Ms Kingham said.
That is simply wrong; demand for all types of coal is increasing world wide and Australia’s coal exports are going through the roof
The courts are incredibly dangerous. Appointed not elected (not that elections mean much anymore). infested with soft handed effete parasites.
None of Ms Kingham’s darn business.
Thank of all the earnest young wimmin being spewed out annually from the numerous law skools around the country with their hatred of blue collar males.
Indolent is right, there were bodies littering the streets when I was in Europe in January February 2022.
A hangover from the middle ages and not a good one.

Queensland Land Court rules against Clive Palmer’s Waratah Coal mine in landmark ruling
The Queensland Land Court has ruled human rights would be unjustifiably limited by a proposal to dig the state’s largest coal mine in the Galilee Basin in Central Queensland.
First Nations-led activist group Youth Verdict challenged an application by mining company Waratah Coal, owned by billionaire Clive Palmer.
The group of young Queensland activists challenged the mine on the basis it would impact the human rights of First Nations peoples by contributing to climate change.
The coal mine would remove about 40 million tonnes of coal a year for export to South-East Asia, with a forecast life span of 30 years.
It is the first time a group has successfully argued coal from a mine would impact human rights by contributing to climate change.
Queensland Land Court president Fleur Kingham said she would not be recommending Waratah Coal’s application for a mining lease and environmental approval to be granted.
She told the court the mine unjustifiably limited the right to life, cultural rights of First Nations peoples, the rights of children, the rights to property, privacy and home and the right to enjoy human rights equally.
“The importance of preserving the rights weighs more heavily in the balance of the economic benefits of the mine and the benefits of contributing energy security for South-East Asia,” she said.
Waratah had argued the Galilee Coal Project would contribute $2.5 billion in economic benefits over its 30-year life span.
If Australia had a State or Federal Government with Balls, they would immediately deduct $2.5 Billion from Aboriginal Budget Allocations

Or are they in Pakistan?
Like I say, we have malicious cretins making important decisions. I recall a lot of these legal challenges to economic development here are funded from the US.
I wouldn’t get too bent round the axels as one of C.L. commenters stated the HC has a couple of justices that have a dim view of Dennis Denuto rulings like this and we know how litigious Clive is. If the resource is worth his while (and I suggest it will be with a rail line to the Adani mine) he will appeal it.
Yet the law was fine with imprisoning innocent people and forcing shit into their arms.
Forgive me for now laughing at any reference to human rights in Australian courts.
Wasn’t it Kroger who won the factional battle with Kennett many moons ago, and has ruled the Vic Libs with an iron fist ever since? It’s all his fault, really. The fact that Bolt would have him on without putting him in the stocks to be pelted with rotten fruit is a marker.
Decisions like that QLD coal case are very unfortunate and usually corrected on appeal. They should silence any calls for an Australian Bill of Rights.
Like this one? Or maybe this? He made for a great statue.
there needs to be a recall mechanism to get this filth activist out of the legal system
Integrity Lost
Like paradise, once lost, it can never be recovered
One of my offspring returned home from a fortnight driving north to Queensland.
She was done by a mobile phone camera on her phone at traffic lights in Brisvegas.
Dumb and potentially dangerous thing to do. But 1076 bucks and 4 demerits? Wam, bam, thank you, Ma’am. I would’ve thought 350 dollars and a couple of demerits would be sufficient. I guess my Christmas present won’t be as generous this year.
Ain’t going to happen. Luckily there is generally mandatory retirement so you don’t have to wait for them to die.

Most Australian drivers couldn’t drive out of sight on a dark night. Bloody hopeless.
And it has gotten worse since we have embraced more people from the subcontinent. Once I thought I could anticipate or at least understand many of the possible permutations of another driver’s moves. Now, I’m just waiting for the day that a car drops out of the sky onto mine.
City driving used to be a doddle in Brisvegas but it drives me crazy now. Our driving instructors and assessors have a lot to answer for. Assessors used to be bastards and proud of it but they seem to be letting some shockers through now.
Don’t get me started on other stupid behaviours people display around cars.
To be fair, a lot of them are actually taking a shit. Try it.
