Pretty extraordinary. Miranda Devine, an Australian working for the NYPost is without much doubt the lead opinionista in the Bunter Hiden laptop scandal. And the she’s not letting go.

You go girl!

It’d be kind of cool if an Aussie chick brought down the Hidens.

Lady Hussey was no threat to Ngozi Fulani

Exactly Rosie. In other words it’s complete bullshit because how would you function in a hospital environment in complete silence? That fucking idiot, Hallward Hughes, is continually posting links that he suggests support his theses when they do nothing of the sort and most often times they actually run counter to his argument.

oh lookee here, I found a ‘study”, which shows masks are useless in a hospital setting, provided… provided no one talks

This is the turd who constantly infers he’s almost a Nobel Scientist.
What a fucking idiot.

Has Monty explained how “Russian kompromat” could have ended up on Hunter Biden’s laptop yet?

Elon Musk Should Tell EU Censors to Get Lost

No matter the side, they have to protect their media monopoly.

BoN, the lefties are well aware of the Alinsky rule”. Use ridicule.

I detect what the problem at the Palace really is. Lady Hussey is a fake racist and should be called out for it. These are difficult times when demand for real racists outstrips supply. Cheap knockoffs appear and flood the market. One shall have to make do with what one has.

Labor’s federal election review reports that Scott Morrison was their most potent weapon. 😀

Albanese’s “small target” campaign meant many voters weren’t aware of Labor’s agenda (bug or feature?).

Expresses concern for loss of Labor heartland voters.

All in all, despite conceding that they’re in power by default (on32% of the primary vote), the report offers a 27 point plan to become a long term progressive government, despite all but acknowledging that they have no mandate for such a program.

If Dutton can’t make hay out of this he’s not worth his salt.

I would have “lacked tact” too when faced with a rude, infantile guest with whom I was tasked to make small talk.

Hussey should have shown her her back after the first obfuscation. Or pointed her to the drinks waiter.

Her job was to make small talk, l calli.

After 60 odd years of doing so – and no doubt encountering many such idiots in more recent times – I don’t blame her for this, but perhaps it’s time for her to enjoy the fruits of her labours.

Having said that, her public cancellation by Prince William was disgraceful (literally!). Should I live long enough, I won’t be singing God save our gracious King for him, unless there’s a great mea culpa in the meantime.

Anyway, storm in a tea cup compared to everything else that bedevils the UK atm.

Mambers of the ACT Bar have reportedly called for the resignation of DPP Shane Drumgold for pursuing a politically motivated case against Bruce Lehrmann when there was no prospect of a sound conviction.

I just found the supplier for my favourite restaurant, and go straight to the source.

We’re fortunate to be in the vicinity of some of the best pork, lamb and beef producers in the land and have a local butcher or threee who consistently win prizes for their hams. Bit of a tradition in these parts but it’s encouraging to see them thriving in the face of the would be monopolists.

If you like westerns then this is an excellent 6 part series from, surprisingly, the BBC .. well worth a look .. THE ENGLISH starring Emily Blunt …

. If I was a GRU operative and I was going to insert fake evidence into a disk image, I would at least manufacture lies of actual crimes or unethical behaviour. As it is, the reported contents are weak as piss.

But a lot of those “pissweak” contents raise important ethical questions about the First Dodderer, and most importantly have been confirmed by others involved.

As for Hillary’s emails, it doesn’t matter what the contents were, the fact is the server had classified materials on them and prima facie she had broken the law. Whether the material should have been so classified is another matter.

Dutton is a place holder at best. And he’s not even doing that particularly well. I expect the Lieborals are working hard on reform in the background … Bwahahahahaaaa. But he’s all they’ve got.

Dutton has been promoted a level higher than his competence

As the bear says, the competency of the Liberal Party below him must be pretty shite.

The Liberal Party certainly has a talent problem, but then just consider Labor’s front bench with many retreads from R-G-R whose incompetence is proven (Hi, Penny!).

Parliament was once the goal of people of education and substance who’d proven themselves in real life. Now we only take parliamentarians seriously because of the damage they’re doing to the nation.

Speaking of incompetence, Albanese – struck down again with covid – is supposed to be leading a virtual meeting with state premiers on Friday to nut out the details of his proposed cap on coal and gas prices, a “momentous” development from whichever angle you consider it. Yet, according to Perrottet, the premiers have yet to receive any paperwork detailing the proposal. Elbow is making PM KRudd’s office look efficient.

Those New Oirish are fitting in well.

Dutton is no Abbott. Abbott was a Rhodes scholar at Oxford, Dutton is an ex Qld cop for whats that worth. Yep the Liars will self-destruct (as usual, possibly spectacularly. Certainly taking thousands of people and small businesses with them.) It feels like one of those situations where the next Lieboral PM might not even be in the Parliament. We’ll see.

JC, no.

Dover, yes.

As I said, a study of mask effectiveness is attempting to ascertain how efficacious masks are in a particular use case.

Go ahead and explain how you would go about devising a study with the precision required. Would you lock people in the exact position not allowing them to move, ensuring they inhale and exhale with equal force across different parts of the study? How would you do this? As I said, it’s impossible for falsify and we therefore have to accept hunches at times.

That’s it. Given this, it is neither impossible to be precise or thorough in such a study, nor is it impossible to develop a thesis that is falsifiable.

Okay, thanks for finally agreeing with me. It took a while but you ended up on the side of righteousness.

And that’s it from me. Off to hunt and gather a Christmas turkey and ham.
Wish me luck as I enter the wilds of deepest, darkest Colesworths.

With neither of the duo now using in-house butchery services I’ve noticed that both my local ones have very little choice .. shelf space allocated to hams/turkeys in both stores doesn’t allow for more than a mixed 2 dozen choices on display …….

But he said home-porting US submarines in Australia was “not the answer” to covering any capability gap that emerged before our boats were in service.

Gotta laff! .. they issue this sort of statement to imply that having our own nuclear subs is just around the corner … reality is we won’t see an Oz nuclear sub in the majority of folk alive today’s lifetimes .. if ever .. LOL!

Mark Green, 44, has spent the past 10 years working hard in South Australia after he, wife Kelly and daughter Rebecca were urged to emigrate from Scotland so Mr Green could work here as an electrician.

Only time I will ever support the Greens.

Been a while since I read Terry McCrann. Here tis, from the Hun:

Just exactly how many billions – indeed, tens of billions – of dollars is Victoria’s re-elected Great Leader Dan Andrews proposing to add to the state’s debt, already heading for $200bn, on the way to $400bn, by bringing back the State Electricity Commission?

The question is brought into very stark relief by NBN finally ‘fessing up to the fact that $31bn of the $44bn spent on the network so far, has been – if you’ll excuse the technical jargon – flushed straight down the toilet.

Now true, venturing deep into Monty Python Dead Parrot territory. You know, the parrot isn’t dead, it’s just resting. The NBN hasn’t actually written off the $31bn as unrecoverable, but placed it in fiscal limbo until 2040.

It’s a marvellous idea that every citizen should be able to use for – I dunno – electricity and gas bills? I’m not failing to pay them right now; just suspending repayment until after 2040.

In the real world, NBN has spent $44bn. The $31bn might be physically in the ground but it’s also gone down the fiscal toilet. In simple terms, if the government tried to sell the NBN, a rational buyer would only be prepared to pay $13bn, tops.

Let me hasten to add, I most absolutely do not want it to be sold. Despite the overspend – indeed, in large part precisely because of the overspend – we now have what is arguably the primary 21st century national asset and it must remain in public ownership.

That said, it – especially in the form originally thought up and detailed on the back of a drinks coaster during a VIP government flight – should be the most explicit warning of the fiscal idiocy of marrying a good idea with supposed new technology and seemingly unlimited public (borrowed) money.

But just as the awful fiscal reality of the NBN surfaces, we get the Victorian government proposing to do it all again: pour billions into building supposedly great and necessary infrastructure.

Except, in substance, it would be nothing like the old SEC, which for 60 years gave Victorians cheap, reliable and plentiful coal-generated electricity out of the Latrobe Valley.

Now true, the old SEC had its dark side – its massive overmanning, its union and bureaucratic control, which culminated in massive cost-overruns for the last power stations built.

In the worst of all possible worlds, Chairman Andrews proposes to bring back the bad SEC – the inefficiency; while spurning the good – the cheap, reliable and plentiful power.

And with the same wild-eyed look as Kevin Rudd of the person that knows – and I mean, really knows – they possess the real and absolute truth, SEC 2.0 will build hundreds of wind and solar farms and presumably thousands of kilometres of powerlines.

How much will it cost, what revenues will it generate, what are its financial metrics?

Who knows, not excluding said Premier?

The whole idea seems to have been dreamt up in the heat of the election campaign. It has even less financial metrics that the original NBN. There probably isn’t even a drinks coaster.

Not that any numbers would be worth more than four-fifths of five-eighths of copulating all, anyway.

The supposedly deep analysis of the NBN was that it would generate a return of 7 per cent – right from the start, on the entire cost of the lavish all-fibre build.

It would be lucky to generate anything close to that on the $13bn new carrying value.

Victoria’s debt is already heading for $200bn, before the cost of the suburban rail link, which will all-but certainly double it.

Then add SEC 2.0 – a multibillion-dollar product of the, with apologies to Legrand and the Bergman duo, “Windmills of Dan’s Mind”.

Germans go nuts about once a century. We’re right in the middle of the latest attack of madness.

Given that Germany has only existed since 1871 it averages out at c. every 75 years.

Which means we’re about due.

Only their target this time appears to be themselves.

What a clusterf*ck – Rudd and Conroy both deserve to be languishing in gaol.

NBN, NDIS, border security, pink batts… now basically the same mob are at it again.

Dutton is no Abbott. Abbott was a Rhodes scholar at Oxford, Dutton is an ex Qld cop for whats that worth. Yep the Liars will self-destruct (as usual, possibly spectacularly. Certainly taking thousands of people and small businesses with them.) It feels like one of those situations where the next Lieboral PM might not even be in the Parliament. We’ll see.

I’m unsure about Dutton. The only thing going for him is that he holds Dickson and has for about 20 years. Dickson has always been marginal. It is very middle class which probably has kept his ideology grounded in realism most of the time. Whether he has the guts to move climate policy to more realistic alternatives like coal fired power stations I’m not too sure. No need for nuclear energy in the mix.

On hams…my son buys a ham from Churchill’s. Costs a small fortune…

Churchill’s, eh?

Japanese Berkshire pork at an exorbitant price only Sydnesiders would pay.

He (Monty) doesn’t need to explain, it’s in the DemonRat Talking Points, so it must be true.

The talking points are not meant to prove anything, but to drown out any other opinion. Monty’s problem is coming here with them but not having the benefit of a swarm of others to keep repeating it with him. So, unlike the MSM or the censored Twitter the talking point can be analysed and discussed.

And that is like sulphuric acid.
