At a time when many of the greatest surviving American singer-songwriters are cashing out their hard-earned chips, John Fogerty has made the bold and idiosyncratic decision to buy back in.
On Friday, the frontman and co-founder of California-born rock band Creedence Clearwater Revival announced that he had acquired a majority interest in the worldwide publishing rights to his much-loved song catalogue.
It took a lot of patience, and a whole lotta love, with his wife and manager leading the charge to fulfil a decades-long dream and a personal mission.
“As of this January, I own my own songs again,” Fogerty, 77, wrote on social media. “This is something I thought would never be a possibility.”
In recent years, fellow generation-defining American voices such as Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen have bowed to the lure of trading their catalogues for huge sums reportedly in the vicinity of US$300m and US$500m, in sales to Universal Music Publishing Group and Sony Music, respectively.
Fogerty’s situation was markedly different than Bob and The Boss, though, as the artist had not been the owner of CCR songs he wrote – including iconic compositions such as Proud Mary, Fortunate Son, Down on the Corner and Bad Moon Rising – since 1974.

Forgive me Driller, but pretty much everything about you is grating. Even the fact that you breathe is grating. Stop telling people who is and isn’t correct as a inbred redneck like you is in no position to judge and certainly not judging his betters. . Zip is correct but he doesn’t require a basically out of work dickhead like you telling him his right. Just STFU and go clean that rat infested motel, you moron.

Lie #1: the basis of the bill is not bipartisan policy agreement, as per the 2002 bill;
who cares, it’s politics
Lie #2: the added potential for lawsuits is not intended solely to put abortion providers out of business.
who cares, let them go out of business

The Inflation Reduction Act says that the new investment in the IRS is not “intended to increase taxes on any taxpayer or small business with a taxable income below $400,000.”
Are there penalties for any member of IRS staff who breaches this intention?

There are many fronts for extremist religious groups in America who would love to take up such a case, as part of their ongoing campaign to put abortion providers out of business.
How does “put abortion providers out of business” comapre to:
What you want is to criminalise offering medical assistance to pregnant mothers, to scare providers out of the profession.
When your wife was pregnant, did you look to an abortion provider to provide “medical support”? Most people would look to a gynecologist.

Incoming Queenslanders! Hun:
Get set for a whole lot of wet if you’re in Queensland this weekend.
Forecasters have said the Queensland coast could the “heaviest rain in years”.
“It’s going to be a very intense weekend of rain,” Sky News Weather meteorologist Alison Osborne said.
“January 2023 could shape up to be the wettest single month for pockets of the Queensland coast since February 2021.”
Some of that rain will make its way further south with Sydney, southern NSW and Victoria likely to see showers on Sunday.
But in the southern states, humid tropical warmth is on the cards with Saturday set to see “very extreme heat”.
Temperatures could be up to 15 degrees or more above average.
The moisture mayhem is set to be the most intense in a line from north of Cairns to south of Mackay. Although much of Queensland could be soggy to a lesser degree.
“This is due to a building rain and storm event which will focus over coastal and inland areas north of about Rockhampton right the way through and into next week,” Ms Osborne said.
An intensifying monsoon trough is likely to deliver a steady supply of moisture with persistent rain and, at points, intense downpours.
Over the next week, this coastal zone could see around 400mm of rain.
“In many areas, this will constitute a month’s worth of rain falling in just a week,” she said.
On Saturday, Townsville could register 100mm of rain – and not far off that on Sunday. And then there will be lesser – but still heavy rain – into the middle of next week. It will be sticky too, with the mercury reaching 28C most days.
Yet Brisbane will be spared the washout with barely any drops of rain at all over the weekend. Expect highs of 29C in the city and lows of 20C.
Meanwhile in the north, Darwin will remain mostly clear with highs of 33C and lows of 25C on Friday. A shower is possible on Saturday and then up to 20mm and a storm on Sunday.
So the rain will cause the wettest month in years apparently. Well at least they used plural form, since it will be since 2021.

Got a big surprise when I saw Annaleise Nielsen on Sky last night. She seems to be a bit left of centre an struggles to hide her TDS but she’s also a very pretty young thing. Last night however she appeared with most of her hair gone; what I’d call a buzz-cut, and is looking very severe. I thought she might be making a bit of a statement.
Does anyone know if she bats for the other side? (Not that there’s anything wrong with that).

I note that m0nty=fa has still not mentioned the Biden classified documents matter. Compare this silence to his hysteria about the Mar a Lago raid.
Neither has he mentioned drag queens for some time, nor any of the other matters that have bothered him for short periods recently.
Clearly, he is unable to concentrate on any single issue, particularly when he is not doing well with convincing people with the leftard talking points.

While it will be warm in Sydney, the city seems unable to push over the 30C barrier. The NSW capital is set for a sunny weekend with highs of 28-29C and overnight lows of around 20C.
But storm clouds are brewing as you head west and south.
Canberra may see a storm come through on Friday, although the rain totals won’t be high. It will be dry for Saturday in the capital and then up to 8mm of rain expected on Sunday, mostly associated with another possible storm.
It will break 30C in Canberra, with maximums of 32C across the weekend.
Sky News Weather has forecast that later on Sunday, storms and rain could pass over parts of NSW including the Blue Mountains and the Ranges.
But it’s all about the heat for Victoria, South Australia and Tasmania with warm air from the Pilbara region of Western Australia, the country’s “heat engine,” funnelling that desert-scorched air to the southeast.
For all the old softies out there, sung by a man whose mother rejected abortion when told of his disability.
The world would be so much the poorer.

Just killed first snake of the season. A small red bellied black that was making its way towards the back porch. A no-no. In the paddocks – fine – but not in the house grounds.
Haven’t seen even one snake on the property in 12 months – testimony, I guess, to the cool seasons. This is the reason we have not renewed the snake netting in the house fencing. May have to reconsider.
7
“As that heat pulls over South Australia and into Victoria, it will be joined by very humid air off the northeast. This means it is going to feel rather tropical,” Ms Osborne said.
“Saturday is going to be the day of very extreme heat and elevated fire dangers particularly in South Australia.”
That extreme heat will be felt on Friday in Adelaide with a high of 37C and then it goes one better on Saturday at 38C. Thankfully a cool change should the come through with a 29C maximum on Sunday.
Minimums will be 23C on Saturday Sunday in Adelaide.
It all cranks up again from the start of next week, however, with a 39C high on Tuesday.
Over the coming days Melbourne will see heat too – but it won’t be as sustained.
A high of 26C on Friday rises to 35C on Saturday and then down to 22C on Sunday. Although looking further out, it could peak at 37C on a baking Tuesday.
Lows over the weekend will be in the high teens.
Weather
Head northeast and Sunday could see some rain in places like Wangaratta.
Hobart should reach 30C on Saturday as the same system from the mainland envelops much of the island. Friday will be 25C and cloudy and on Sunday it will cool down to 19C.
The seesawing of the mercury will be felt here too with a hot Tuesday peaking at 31C in the city.
Warm and sunny in Perth for the next few days. Temperatures will fall short of 30C on Friday, just by a smidgen, and then it’s 30-33C and mid-teen lows consistently each day for the next week with mostly clear blue skies.
So sounds just like a summer season then. FMD

He approves the murder of healthy babies.
This is another lie. Stop lying.
Forecasters have said the Queensland coast could the “heaviest rain in years”.
It’s not even a cyclone ffs. It might be one after Tuesday but it’ll be pissweak as it’s heading east according to the model.
I drove through Innisfail once and was amused that the white houses were green and mouldy on the outside. That’s what an average 140 inches per year of rainfall gets you.

Still nothing to say on the Biden classified document mishandling? Note that the mishandling occurred while Biden was VP, and, unlike Trump as President, Biden then had no authority at all to de-classify documents.
Note also that unlike at Mar a Lago, they were not properly secured, and the locations were not guarded by the Secret Service.

Biden’s lawyers contacted the archivists first and handed over everything they found.
Trump’s lawyers stonewalled the archivists so long that the spooks had to be called in for a dawn raid.
The two situations are hardly comparable. And anyway, according to the Trump Doctrine, Biden as president can magically mind-meld with the documents to declassify them retrospectively. Checkmate, wingnuts!
There you go. Also, how’s your old mate Prince Andrew going, still got your tick of approval for schtupping young girls?

It’s ye olde Monsoon, something that used to visit these parts 4-6 times a year and push sometimes down to near Rockhampton. We haven’t seen even 4 a year in recent times. Apart from the floods a few years back but that was caused by a different system.

WA doctor: I’m sorry but your child has no chance of survival, its every breath will be wrackingly painful and it will suffer more the longer it lives.
Mother (sobbing uncontrollably): … okay doctor, do what you must.
mole and db with the local bishop and constabulary (rushing in): STOP, you must preserve and cherish the life of this precious gift from God!!
WA doctor: … but the child is going to die, there is nothing that can be done.
mole & db: Officers, arrest this doctor and this mother, we can’t be having medical decisions made by people with such poor ethics. Bring in the faith healers to lay hands and form a prayer circle, stat!
This is irredeemably stupid and a miserably pathetic attempt to avoid the obvious. If the injuries to the child were so severe that it was going to die, medical assistance would simply involve whatever could be given to comfort the child until it dies. That’s it.
BTW, that you have to hide your argument behind a purportedly sick child in the late second or third trimester shows how little confidence you have in your argument.
Lie #1: the basis of the bill is not bipartisan policy agreement, as per the 2002 bill;
Lie #2: the added potential for lawsuits is not intended solely to put abortion providers out of business.
Not at all. NOW, NARAL, and other pro-abort groups opposed the bill back in the early 2000s, just go and listen or read extracts of the hearings. Charles Canady, the sponsor of the bill removed the enforcement mechanism in order to prevent any veto by then President Clinton if it passed when it was originally proposed in 2000, when the scandal of live births post-abortion first emerged. Nadler had to arm-wrestle the Dems to support it so they wouldn’t look like ghouls. As to the second purported ‘lie’, no, that isn’t the intention of the bill or its enforcement mechanism. The intention of the bill/ law is to two-fold. It’s to oblige medical practitioners to still provide medical care to the few though still significant number of children that survive an abortion in the hope that some of them may live as well as provide comfort to those in their last moments. And, secondly, to establish a premise re the child as a locus for the protection of the law that might seep backward and include the child in utero, when it dawns on those that think on the matter, that the location of the child makes no difference in respect of what is due to the child as a human being.

Bruce I am only an amatuer weather watcher but from what I know the early parts of Cyclone season usually send them all to the graveyard in the south pacific.
Steering winds are all westerly. Towards the later parts winds change to easterly and start steering them to the coast.
Otherwise we need an upper level ridge to form below the cyclones path once it has reached Cat 3, Yasi & Debbie followed the northern edge and made land fall in the two cyclone allys we have up here.

Oops, nearly missed this bit of trash.
BIden took the documents while he was Vice-President. In that position, he was not able to perform the mind meld. Then he had them improperly stored for more than six long years. At a very minimum, assuming that he did the mind meld the day he was inaugurated, improperly stored for four long years. Careers have been destroyed for lesser offences.
Not comparable at all, you idiot.

BTW, that you have to hide your argument behind a purportedly sick child in the late second or third trimester shows how little confidence you have in your argument.
There are well over 30,000 births in Western Australia every year. According to the aforementioned link, on average there is one (1) live birth from a failed abortion per year in the state. We are talking about extreme edge cases here, so the scenario of a terminally ill newborn is very much relevant. You are trying to pretend there is a large spate of such cases, but there really aren’t.
The intention of the bill/ law is to two-fold. It’s to oblige medical practitioners to still provide medical care to the few though still significant number of children that survive an abortion in the hope that some of them may live as well as provide comfort to those in their last moments.
The 2002 law already does that. You may not like how it doesn’t include an oppressive legal regime of penalties and threats, but you are an extremist who does not hold power and in an enlightened society your views would not be coddled.
And, secondly, to establish a premise re the child as a locus for the protection of the law that might seep backward and include the child in utero, when it dawns on those that think on the matter, that the location of the child makes no difference in respect of what is due to the child as a human being.
This is utter claptrap. You are trying to make the vagina a slippery slope, which is laughably ridiculous given how much women hate your views.

Necessity Bruce.
Work outside and had enough with dodgy BOM forecasts. So I started educating myself. Plenty of storm chaser websites out there and weather websites that you can freely access all the major models, GFS, EC, HWRF and even the BOM’s ACESS which actually isn’t too bad with CS Cyclones.
I still can’t get rid of a gut feeling the 400mm they are predicting will be an overstatement, the satellite chart the monsoon doesn’t look strong. I remember when it used to be a wall of cloud over the top end of the country sweeping south till a cyclone or 2 spins up and sucks all the convection away.
Flying into the north is awesome in one of these events, I remember a few flights cruising at 38,000ft and it was almost as if you could touch the tops of the clouds just below the aircraft. Then when we nosed over into decent between Bowen & Ayr a decent through an almost constant wall of cloud & turbulence till popping out the bottom in final approach to Garbutt. Been on a couple of Melbourne Cairns flights with similar experiences as well.

Maybe you should have kept him.
As much as I dislike snakes, red-bellied blacks have relatively impotent venom (compared with tigers and browns), are very timid of humans and, most importantly, are highly territorial when it comes to other snake species.
If you have a red-bellied black in the yard you a less likely to tread on one of the others.

I really wanted to post a clip of The Goodies’ caricature of Mary Whitehouse running down the street crying out “Stop it! STOP IT!” in response to you, Calli.
But Youtube’s archives of glorious 1970s television clips were lacking. 🙁
Much like how I found an archive of Christopher Lee’s immortal rendition of Oh, Bugger! from a 1994 cartoon rendition of the Terry Pratchett novel Soul Music. But nobody has ever clipped it…

A little old lady went to the grocery store to buy cat food.
She picked up four cans and took them to the checkout counter. The girl at the cash register said “I’m sorry, but we cannot sell you cat food without proof that you have a cat. A lot of old people buy cat food to eat, and the management wants proof that you are buying the cat food for your cat”.
The little old lady went home, picked up her cat and brought it back to the store. They sold her the cat food.
The next day, she tried to buy two cans of dog food. Again, the cashier said “I’m sorry, but we cannot sell you dog food without proof that you have a dog. A lot of old people buy dog food to eat, but the management wants proof that you are buying the dog food for your dog”.
So she went home and brought in her dog. She then was able to buy the dog food.
The next day she brought in a box with a hole in the lid. The little old lady asked the cashier to stick her finger in the hole. The cashier said “No, you might have a snake in there”.
The little old lady assured her that there was nothing in the box that would harm her. So the cashier put her finger into the box and pulled it out. She said to the little old lady “That smells like shite!”
The little old lady said “It is. I want to buy three rolls of toilet paper”.

Forecasters have said the Queensland coast could the “heaviest rain in years”.
Ok, a ‘rain bomb storm cyclone river’ then
But in the southern states, humid tropical warmth is on the cards with Saturday set to see “very extreme heat”.
King Lear, a five-part tragedy penned by William Shakespeare with the eponymous mythological British king as its protagonist, really revolves around the idea of the “destructive potential” of “whiteness”, an academic has claimed, despite the play seemingly having little to do with race.
The statement was made at just one of a series of “Anti-Racist Shakespeare” seminars hosted by the Globe Theatre in London, which as a reconstruction of Shakespeare’s original playhouse specialises in hosting plays penned by the Bard.
The woke haven’t seemed to’ve comprehended yet that all his female characters were played by men.

There are well over 30,000 births in Western Australia every year. According to the aforementioned link, on average there is one (1) live birth from a failed abortion per year in the state. We are talking about extreme edge cases here, so the scenario of a terminally ill newborn is very much relevant. You are trying to pretend there is a large spate of such cases, but there really aren’t.
How could I be pretending this when I wrote: It’s to oblige medical practitioners to still provide medical care to the few though still significant number of children that survive an abortion?
The 2002 law already does that.
No, it doesn’t. It doesn’t include any penalties for failing to render medical assistance to the child so it can’t be said to oblige anything at all. If the Libs passed a workplace safety bill without any penalties for failing to take reasonable steps to ensure a safe workplace you wouldn’t for a moment argue that the inclusion of penalties was extremist, oppressive, and the like; if it’s right that an employer take reasonable steps to ensure a safe workplace, failing to do so should attract penalties.
This is utter claptrap.
And yet you couldn’t even land a blow on the argument. Even the opponents of the bill, then and now, recognized the problem of conceding the protection of the law to the child that survives an abortion could be extended to the child in utero, which is why they opposed the bill.

That extreme heat will be felt on Friday in Adelaide with a high of 37C.
That’s terrifying! South Australians should run around in circles in panic and throw virgins into a volcano.
I know our perception of things in our past can change over time, but as a born and bred Adelaidian, my recollection is that a temp of 37c is a doddle. Warm but hardly ‘extreme heat’. As a lad I recall temps of 38-40C being very common in the Adelaide summer. We only thought it was ‘getting hot’ from about 40C (104F)+. I’m sure I remember the occasional days of 41-42C (106-108F) when the north wind blew in. When that happened, everybody expected a fire in the hills.

As a lad I recall temps of 38-40C being very common in the Adelaide summer.
I did a project where we flew in/out of a rural town in SA. It was good as it was a summer job during my usual Queensland hiatus. 38 deg was normal, when it got into the 40’s then the drill crew would cycle through the shade for a spell. Ground was very challenging there drilling through sands and clays at target seam so I had heaps of time to rest up in the shade of the car. I don’t recall it being difficult even when I had core runs on the table, dry heat. Just need to keep hydrated.
Same project 38 deg day I was on a Jetstar flight from Adelaide to Brisbane that the aircraft had a faulty APU that powers the aircraft when engines are shut down. Result no air con till we pushed back from the terminal. Now that was stuffy…

Indeed. And I’ll bet you’ve had ample experience at well over 40C. I worked at the Superpit and at Prominent Hill and in both locations, after a few days of 45C+, 40C felt like a ‘cool change’. The key, as you say, is hydration.

This is all true.
Mum was having contractions, nurses chucked her on the gurney in the corridor as she wasnt considered far enough along yet. She was left in the tender care of Sister Babyslayer a nun/nurse of some sort.
As mums contractions got more frequent and painful she told Sister Babyslayer who responded by poking he each time she moaned and told her not to be so silly.
Eventually a wandering doctor heard mum moaning and complaining and thought hed better check mums dialation.
He went to jam his fingers in and was lucky I didnt bite them off, I was already crowning, and probably had been for an hour or more
Quick rush into the delivery room, one push & about 2L of blood later and the doc had a non-breathing purple bub.
Youve seen “the meaning of life” where they do the miracle of birth, the delivery is done and everyone runs out of the room with the baby leaving the mum alone.
Welcome to my mums world. She was left bleeding in the stirrups in an empty room for about 20 minutes, and didnt know if I was alive or dead for 1/2 an hour.
Mum was anemic and weak for days and Sister Babyslayer took over my care and wouldnt let mum have more than 5 minutes at a time with me.

There’s nothing like seeing Shakespeare performed right in front of you. It’s mesmerising.
The year before my King Lear/scrumptious swoony Dalton experience, I went to the Sydney Theatre Company production of Macbeth, with John Bell as lead and Anna Volska as his missus with the Foul Spot.

Solution: Gassed and then dumped outside into the gutter.
Case study two: Massive tarantula noted lurking in the bathtub at about 6:00am. Solution: Clubbed to death with a handy blunt instrument and then flushed down the toilet.

Lived experience has revealed that having pythons or any other non-poisonous snake in the shed, yard etc is no prophylactic against also having deadly poisonous snakes either co-existing or arriving.
True.
During the months we spent at Evans Head I walked the breakwater daily hoping to catch one of the annoying, huge school fish that taunted me*. No luck. But on one occasion I did see a monster python soaking up the sun with a black snake curled, asleep, on top of him.
*Grigory #1, the real Grigory, identified these fish first time I posted about them, and he suggested the best way to catch them. He has been gone for a very long time. I hope he survived the cancer.

The quality of the fresh produce (not from their own farms) on offer of late at Spudshed is appalling- Cheap, but often has been cold-stored for a long time and thus freezer-burnt, half-rotten or just poor quality in general.
Having said that, much of the rest of the stuff they stock is pretty good. And 24hr opening at places like Jandakot is remarkably convenient for shiftworkers.

“Could someone go and smash a bottle of Grange on his bonce before this becomes even more embarrassing (if it could).”
No, when it comes to this I’m on Perrottet’s side. He shouldn’t have grovelled. He was right to apologise and then just say to MSM scum…MOVE ON.
A few points…
Dominic Perrottet has been a disappointment as premier of NSW. Why? Well, because he’s simply a supine puppet of Green Kean and various other NSW Liberal scum. But the issue here is that the Liberals have been effing useless for years, well before Perrottet. The Liberals, after twelve years of doing nothing in NSW, will lose bigtime in March 2023. All they’ve done since 2011 is pursue and implement progressive hard left policies, in other words a Labor lite party. The NSW Liberals are pointless and need to be obliterated, wiped off the face of the earth. It’ll be good riddance to them in two month’s time. However, and it’s a big “however”, I find this jihad against Perrottet for wearing a Nazi uniform to a party when he was 21 to be both ridiculous and smelly, for a number of reasons.
Perrottet has been set up, probably from within his own party, and the tawdry leftist MSM have jumped on the bandwagon to target him because he’s a Liberal premier and they want him gone. I strongly suspect the culprit for the leak is that disgusting effwit David Elliott, former police minister, the same effwit who helped lock up this state during Covid, the same effwit who described protesters in July 2021 as “boofheads”, the same hypocrite who refused to act on the BLM protesters in June 2020 until it was too late.
Perrottet was 21 years old when he donned a Nazi unform. So what if he put on a Nazi costume at that age and went to a party. I DON’T CARE. I remember going to a fancy dress party and seeing someone arrive in a Nazi uniform, yes I found it offensive but also ridiculous and I remember the man being taunted and joked about. Perrottet didn’t join the Nazi party (and the closest party to the Nazi party in this country is the Greens, oh and they don’t even hide their Jew hatred, but but you know, progressive Jew hatred is quite kosher).
There wouldn’t be one person here on this blog who didn’t do something stupid when they were 21 years old, or even when they were 30 or 40 years old, in fact I would hazard a good guess that some here have done stupid things even in middle age. Oh and our very classy (sarcasm) current PM, at 21, was a paid up Trotskyite who engaged in some very unsavoury activities at local ALP branch meetings. Albanese was known to be a well known loudmouth thug.
You know the whole thing stinks when you get real Jew haters like a former premier of NSW and the Greens join in the pile on of Perrottet. I find the MSM beat-up and the reaction from the Greens interesting, very interesting. Many on the left, particularly the Greens and their advisors, have been caught out for making anti-Semitic remarks, remarks made not when they were 21 years old but when they were older and actually involved in politics. I also note that Green scum such as Bandt, Faruqi, Hanson-Dung and others have attended anti-Israel demonstrations where banners have been waved with swastikas superimposed over Star of Davids (now that is offensive), where there have been posters calling for “Jews to be shoved in ovens”, yet these Greens have never had to face any accountability for attending such demonstrations, and let me tell you here and now, as a Jew, I find those actions from the left far more concerning and far more serious for the Jewish community than some snotty, pimply boy from Sydney’s north-east attending a party in a Nazi uniform when he was 21.
I’ll leave it at that, and whilst I’m not into conspiracies, I believe this ludicrous screeching by the MSM about Perrottet is yet another attempt by the left and their servants in the MSM to gaslight, dog whistle and screech about how those of us who refuse to kowtow to the leftist progressive narrative, are Nazis. NO. Dominic Perrottet is not a Nazi and has never been a Nazi, not even when he was 21 years old and he put on a stupid costume. But there are modern day Nazis, and they’re found in the left of Labor and in the Greens…end of rant!

Well, that’s cleared that up. Nothing for Joe the Plumber & Hank the trucker to worry about.
There are many fronts for extremist religious groups in America who would love to take up such a case, as part of their ongoing campaign to put abortion providers out of business.
How does “put abortion providers out of business” comapre to:
What you want is to criminalise offering medical assistance to pregnant mothers, to scare providers out of the profession.
When your wife was pregnant, did you look to an abortion provider to provide “medical support”? Most people would look to a gynecologist.
Incoming Queenslanders! Hun:
Get set for a whole lot of wet if you’re in Queensland this weekend.
Forecasters have said the Queensland coast could the “heaviest rain in years”.
“It’s going to be a very intense weekend of rain,” Sky News Weather meteorologist Alison Osborne said.
“January 2023 could shape up to be the wettest single month for pockets of the Queensland coast since February 2021.”
Some of that rain will make its way further south with Sydney, southern NSW and Victoria likely to see showers on Sunday.
But in the southern states, humid tropical warmth is on the cards with Saturday set to see “very extreme heat”.
Temperatures could be up to 15 degrees or more above average.
The moisture mayhem is set to be the most intense in a line from north of Cairns to south of Mackay. Although much of Queensland could be soggy to a lesser degree.
“This is due to a building rain and storm event which will focus over coastal and inland areas north of about Rockhampton right the way through and into next week,” Ms Osborne said.
An intensifying monsoon trough is likely to deliver a steady supply of moisture with persistent rain and, at points, intense downpours.
Over the next week, this coastal zone could see around 400mm of rain.
“In many areas, this will constitute a month’s worth of rain falling in just a week,” she said.
On Saturday, Townsville could register 100mm of rain – and not far off that on Sunday. And then there will be lesser – but still heavy rain – into the middle of next week. It will be sticky too, with the mercury reaching 28C most days.
Yet Brisbane will be spared the washout with barely any drops of rain at all over the weekend. Expect highs of 29C in the city and lows of 20C.
Meanwhile in the north, Darwin will remain mostly clear with highs of 33C and lows of 25C on Friday. A shower is possible on Saturday and then up to 20mm and a storm on Sunday.
So the rain will cause the wettest month in years apparently. Well at least they used plural form, since it will be since 2021.
This sort of comment from Monty makes it very easy to present a case that voting lefty is a mental illness.

This sort of comment from Monty makes it very easy to present a case that voting lefty is a mental illness.
He approves the murder of healthy babies. That is not medical support. No mental illness, just a complete absence of warmth and love, replaced instead by evil malice.

Got a big surprise when I saw Annaleise Nielsen on Sky last night. She seems to be a bit left of centre an struggles to hide her TDS but she’s also a very pretty young thing. Last night however she appeared with most of her hair gone; what I’d call a buzz-cut, and is looking very severe. I thought she might be making a bit of a statement.
Does anyone know if she bats for the other side? (Not that there’s anything wrong with that).
I note that m0nty=fa has still not mentioned the Biden classified documents matter. Compare this silence to his hysteria about the Mar a Lago raid.
Neither has he mentioned drag queens for some time, nor any of the other matters that have bothered him for short periods recently.
Clearly, he is unable to concentrate on any single issue, particularly when he is not doing well with convincing people with the leftard talking points.
While it will be warm in Sydney, the city seems unable to push over the 30C barrier. The NSW capital is set for a sunny weekend with highs of 28-29C and overnight lows of around 20C.
But storm clouds are brewing as you head west and south.
Canberra may see a storm come through on Friday, although the rain totals won’t be high. It will be dry for Saturday in the capital and then up to 8mm of rain expected on Sunday, mostly associated with another possible storm.
It will break 30C in Canberra, with maximums of 32C across the weekend.
Sky News Weather has forecast that later on Sunday, storms and rain could pass over parts of NSW including the Blue Mountains and the Ranges.
But it’s all about the heat for Victoria, South Australia and Tasmania with warm air from the Pilbara region of Western Australia, the country’s “heat engine,” funnelling that desert-scorched air to the southeast.
For all the old softies out there, sung by a man whose mother rejected abortion when told of his disability.
The world would be so much the poorer.
Monty, we require a talking point re the Biden document …er…. disbursement.
Just killed first snake of the season. A small red bellied black that was making its way towards the back porch. A no-no. In the paddocks – fine – but not in the house grounds.
Haven’t seen even one snake on the property in 12 months – testimony, I guess, to the cool seasons. This is the reason we have not renewed the snake netting in the house fencing. May have to reconsider.
“As that heat pulls over South Australia and into Victoria, it will be joined by very humid air off the northeast. This means it is going to feel rather tropical,” Ms Osborne said.
“Saturday is going to be the day of very extreme heat and elevated fire dangers particularly in South Australia.”
That extreme heat will be felt on Friday in Adelaide with a high of 37C and then it goes one better on Saturday at 38C. Thankfully a cool change should the come through with a 29C maximum on Sunday.
Minimums will be 23C on Saturday Sunday in Adelaide.
It all cranks up again from the start of next week, however, with a 39C high on Tuesday.
Over the coming days Melbourne will see heat too – but it won’t be as sustained.
A high of 26C on Friday rises to 35C on Saturday and then down to 22C on Sunday. Although looking further out, it could peak at 37C on a baking Tuesday.
Lows over the weekend will be in the high teens.
Weather
Head northeast and Sunday could see some rain in places like Wangaratta.
Hobart should reach 30C on Saturday as the same system from the mainland envelops much of the island. Friday will be 25C and cloudy and on Sunday it will cool down to 19C.
The seesawing of the mercury will be felt here too with a hot Tuesday peaking at 31C in the city.
Warm and sunny in Perth for the next few days. Temperatures will fall short of 30C on Friday, just by a smidgen, and then it’s 30-33C and mid-teen lows consistently each day for the next week with mostly clear blue skies.
So sounds just like a summer season then. FMD
This is another lie. Stop lying.
It’s not even a cyclone ffs. It might be one after Tuesday but it’ll be pissweak as it’s heading east according to the model.
I drove through Innisfail once and was amused that the white houses were green and mouldy on the outside. That’s what an average 140 inches per year of rainfall gets you.
John Fogarty, he was shafted by his brother and Stu Cook and Doug Clifford when the three of them folded to Saul Zaentz and agreed to sell the songs to Saul for a token payment.

Still nothing to say on the Biden classified document mishandling? Note that the mishandling occurred while Biden was VP, and, unlike Trump as President, Biden then had no authority at all to de-classify documents.
Note also that unlike at Mar a Lago, they were not properly secured, and the locations were not guarded by the Secret Service.

Trump’s lawyers stonewalled the archivists so long that the spooks had to be called in for a dawn raid.
The two situations are hardly comparable. And anyway, according to the Trump Doctrine, Biden as president can magically mind-meld with the documents to declassify them retrospectively. Checkmate, wingnuts!

This is irredeemably stupid and a miserably pathetic attempt to avoid the obvious. If the injuries to the child were so severe that it was going to die, medical assistance would simply involve whatever could be given to comfort the child until it dies. That’s it.
BTW, that you have to hide your argument behind a purportedly sick child in the late second or third trimester shows how little confidence you have in your argument.
Not at all. NOW, NARAL, and other pro-abort groups opposed the bill back in the early 2000s, just go and listen or read extracts of the hearings. Charles Canady, the sponsor of the bill removed the enforcement mechanism in order to prevent any veto by then President Clinton if it passed when it was originally proposed in 2000, when the scandal of live births post-abortion first emerged. Nadler had to arm-wrestle the Dems to support it so they wouldn’t look like ghouls. As to the second purported ‘lie’, no, that isn’t the intention of the bill or its enforcement mechanism. The intention of the bill/ law is to two-fold. It’s to oblige medical practitioners to still provide medical care to the few though still significant number of children that survive an abortion in the hope that some of them may live as well as provide comfort to those in their last moments. And, secondly, to establish a premise re the child as a locus for the protection of the law that might seep backward and include the child in utero, when it dawns on those that think on the matter, that the location of the child makes no difference in respect of what is due to the child as a human being.
Dickless is pro abortion and letting live birth kiddies die because he has no dick and looks after the milko’s kiddies.

Biden’s lawyers contacted the archivists first and handed over everything they found.
Were Biden’s lawyers cleared for the level of material (SCI) that they found? If, not, clearly it was improperly handled and stored.
Trump’s lawyers stonewalled the archivists so long that the spooks had to be called in for a dawn raid.
The Archivist acknowledged that Trump’s lawyers were cooperating.
Weak, try harder.
Bruce I am only an amatuer weather watcher but from what I know the early parts of Cyclone season usually send them all to the graveyard in the south pacific.
Steering winds are all westerly. Towards the later parts winds change to easterly and start steering them to the coast.
Otherwise we need an upper level ridge to form below the cyclones path once it has reached Cat 3, Yasi & Debbie followed the northern edge and made land fall in the two cyclone allys we have up here.
Monster is correct!
Biden as president can magically mind-meld with the documents to declassify them retrospectively. Checkmate, wingnuts!
Oops, nearly missed this bit of trash.
BIden took the documents while he was Vice-President. In that position, he was not able to perform the mind meld. Then he had them improperly stored for more than six long years. At a very minimum, assuming that he did the mind meld the day he was inaugurated, improperly stored for four long years. Careers have been destroyed for lesser offences.

Yes! Seems to collate with the increase in spare time.
There are well over 30,000 births in Western Australia every year. According to the aforementioned link, on average there is one (1) live birth from a failed abortion per year in the state. We are talking about extreme edge cases here, so the scenario of a terminally ill newborn is very much relevant. You are trying to pretend there is a large spate of such cases, but there really aren’t.
The 2002 law already does that. You may not like how it doesn’t include an oppressive legal regime of penalties and threats, but you are an extremist who does not hold power and in an enlightened society your views would not be coddled.
This is utter claptrap. You are trying to make the vagina a slippery slope, which is laughably ridiculous given how much women hate your views. This is how you think you are going to change hearts and minds post-Dobbs? No wonder your side lost so badly in the mid-terms. What a terrible political sense you have.

You support abortion which is state sanctioned murder of babies.

Necessity Bruce.
Work outside and had enough with dodgy BOM forecasts. So I started educating myself. Plenty of storm chaser websites out there and weather websites that you can freely access all the major models, GFS, EC, HWRF and even the BOM’s ACESS which actually isn’t too bad with CS Cyclones.
I still can’t get rid of a gut feeling the 400mm they are predicting will be an overstatement, the satellite chart the monsoon doesn’t look strong. I remember when it used to be a wall of cloud over the top end of the country sweeping south till a cyclone or 2 spins up and sucks all the convection away.
Flying into the north is awesome in one of these events, I remember a few flights cruising at 38,000ft and it was almost as if you could touch the tops of the clouds just below the aircraft. Then when we nosed over into decent between Bowen & Ayr a decent through an almost constant wall of cloud & turbulence till popping out the bottom in final approach to Garbutt. Been on a couple of Melbourne Cairns flights with similar experiences as well.
IT was a shill for Big Potato.

And go chase down Parts 1-7 for a very nice way to waste a few hours. It’s really quite well done for 1997.
A little old lady went to the grocery store to buy cat food.
She picked up four cans and took them to the checkout counter. The girl at the cash register said “I’m sorry, but we cannot sell you cat food without proof that you have a cat. A lot of old people buy cat food to eat, and the management wants proof that you are buying the cat food for your cat”.
The little old lady went home, picked up her cat and brought it back to the store. They sold her the cat food.
The next day, she tried to buy two cans of dog food. Again, the cashier said “I’m sorry, but we cannot sell you dog food without proof that you have a dog. A lot of old people buy dog food to eat, but the management wants proof that you are buying the dog food for your dog”.
So she went home and brought in her dog. She then was able to buy the dog food.
The next day she brought in a box with a hole in the lid. The little old lady asked the cashier to stick her finger in the hole. The cashier said “No, you might have a snake in there”.
The little old lady assured her that there was nothing in the box that would harm her. So the cashier put her finger into the box and pulled it out. She said to the little old lady “That smells like shite!”
The little old lady said “It is. I want to buy three rolls of toilet paper”.

Shakespeare’s King Lear About the ‘Destructive Potential’ of ‘Whiteness’: Globe Theatre Panel (10 Jan)
The woke haven’t seemed to’ve comprehended yet that all his female characters were played by men.
It could be a factor.
Even despite Elvis’ excesses, 42 is very young to peg out from a heart attack.
I know a few people who have thrashed their body with food and alcohol and, to a lesser extent, drugs, and have survived considerably longer.
That’s odd, Bruce.
I always thought King Lear was about toxic families. And boy, do we get a variety of toxicity!
– jealous daughters
– demanding dads
– weirdo, psycho husbands
– goody two shoes favourites
– insane sons
It’s my all time favourite!
How could I be pretending this when I wrote: It’s to oblige medical practitioners to still provide medical care to the few though still significant number of children that survive an abortion?
No, it doesn’t. It doesn’t include any penalties for failing to render medical assistance to the child so it can’t be said to oblige anything at all. If the Libs passed a workplace safety bill without any penalties for failing to take reasonable steps to ensure a safe workplace you wouldn’t for a moment argue that the inclusion of penalties was extremist, oppressive, and the like; if it’s right that an employer take reasonable steps to ensure a safe workplace, failing to do so should attract penalties.
And yet you couldn’t even land a blow on the argument. Even the opponents of the bill, then and now, recognized the problem of conceding the protection of the law to the child that survives an abortion could be extended to the child in utero, which is why they opposed the bill.

That extreme heat will be felt on Friday in Adelaide with a high of 37C.
That’s terrifying! South Australians should run around in circles in panic and throw virgins into a volcano.
I know our perception of things in our past can change over time, but as a born and bred Adelaidian, my recollection is that a temp of 37c is a doddle. Warm but hardly ‘extreme heat’. As a lad I recall temps of 38-40C being very common in the Adelaide summer. We only thought it was ‘getting hot’ from about 40C (104F)+. I’m sure I remember the occasional days of 41-42C (106-108F) when the north wind blew in. When that happened, everybody expected a fire in the hills.

Again, have seen it happen.
As a lad I recall temps of 38-40C being very common in the Adelaide summer.
I did a project where we flew in/out of a rural town in SA. It was good as it was a summer job during my usual Queensland hiatus. 38 deg was normal, when it got into the 40’s then the drill crew would cycle through the shade for a spell. Ground was very challenging there drilling through sands and clays at target seam so I had heaps of time to rest up in the shade of the car. I don’t recall it being difficult even when I had core runs on the table, dry heat. Just need to keep hydrated.
Same project 38 deg day I was on a Jetstar flight from Adelaide to Brisbane that the aircraft had a faulty APU that powers the aircraft when engines are shut down. Result no air con till we pushed back from the terminal. Now that was stuffy…
Oh yeah, I forgot the cigs. 🙂

Indeed. And I’ll bet you’ve had ample experience at well over 40C. I worked at the Superpit and at Prominent Hill and in both locations, after a few days of 45C+, 40C felt like a ‘cool change’. The key, as you say, is hydration.
Possibly the same person(s) who encouraged the anti-Indian comments of the past few days.
Keep in mind, the notorious Kermit Gosnell in Philly killed over a hundred children by inducing birth and then either snipping the infant’s neck or having his assistants do so over a decade or more. None of the federal charges he or they faced involved the Born-Alive Infants Protection Act. Not one, because why would you issue a charge that included no penalties? Just absurd.

This is all true.
Mum was having contractions, nurses chucked her on the gurney in the corridor as she wasnt considered far enough along yet. She was left in the tender care of Sister Babyslayer a nun/nurse of some sort.
As mums contractions got more frequent and painful she told Sister Babyslayer who responded by poking he each time she moaned and told her not to be so silly.
Eventually a wandering doctor heard mum moaning and complaining and thought hed better check mums dialation.
He went to jam his fingers in and was lucky I didnt bite them off, I was already crowning, and probably had been for an hour or more
Quick rush into the delivery room, one push & about 2L of blood later and the doc had a non-breathing purple bub.
Youve seen “the meaning of life” where they do the miracle of birth, the delivery is done and everyone runs out of the room with the baby leaving the mum alone.
Welcome to my mums world. She was left bleeding in the stirrups in an empty room for about 20 minutes, and didnt know if I was alive or dead for 1/2 an hour.
Mum was anemic and weak for days and Sister Babyslayer took over my care and wouldnt let mum have more than 5 minutes at a time with me.

There’s nothing like seeing Shakespeare performed right in front of you. It’s mesmerising.
The year before my King Lear/scrumptious swoony Dalton experience, I went to the Sydney Theatre Company production of Macbeth, with John Bell as lead and Anna Volska as his missus with the Foul Spot. Marvellous stuff. It was “theatre in the round” and the newly built theatre still smelled of sawdust.
Most memorable experience post production…I trod in dog poo on the way back to the car. Horror! 😀
For sure. In the Pilbara some of the i/o pits regularly reach high 40’s and low 50’s. Stifling. Hydration is imperative but on those days I’m more concerned with heatstroke. Which can happen real quick.And that’s ambient. Working on a hot machine takes local temps higher.

This never happens anywhere else. Just rural Qld.
Gotta question the methodology there.
Multiple kidnappings of backpackers in the Coorong region would support a case for that area harbouring some properfella creeps.
Fact is it can & does happen anywhere. The larger the pool of humans, the more chance there’s depraved types.
Monty’s line that living “the sticks” = greater chance of incest/underage (or whatever he was banging on about) was plain stupid, bigoted, & brain dead.
He should have known better. Clearly he doesn’t.
He apparently lives in Melbourne, a city that may be completely free of depravity & perversion.

If that’s true [which I doubt], then Elvis was just outta his Teens, since he was riding Cybill Shepherd at the time.
Hold on. Have you finally found someone who wasn’t a Flamer?
Gotta keep Keneallygate outta the news.
The expectation being being that parrothead will fall on his dagger.
I liked some of the reporter’s questions
Did you do a Nazi salute?
Have you eaten sauerkraut?
Have you attended an Oktoberfest?
boing boing …
Salvo – you don’t live in melbourne – you “exist”.
Reporters seriously asked him that?
Are you kidding?
Logical. More prey.
Sweden discovers huge deposits of rare metals, a potential step to ending Europe’s dependency on China
Ah, yes. This was SOP when the grandies would find a monster huntsman and shriek for Dad or Papa to dispatch it.
“But don’t kill it!” they wailed.
So best man caught the monster using the Bruce Technique, then, with the girls dogging his footsteps, he carefully carried the glass outside to the garden and flicked that lucky huntsman onto the lawn… where a roving chicken spied him and pounced, gobbling him up in an instant.
Much unhappiness all round.

Ahaha! The Circle of Life. Rescued a grasshopper from the kitchen – fly away, fly away! Kookaburra lurking on the garden seat…yum!
Brutal.
Even more proof: Masks don’t work
Rabz, the dagger of Gauleiter von Perrotetstein would be expected by the millennial & progressive castes, to look more like this.
Galati and Spudshed was mainly about trading hours. Herdsman Fresh was initially a market outlet and not covered by shop hours laws. It used to be a shed next to Murray Smith surfboards, not the expensive glossy place it is today. Galati is a potato freedom fighter.
Depraved types go where there’s opportunity. It might be in suburbia, it might be in a remote place, far from help.
In the end, it depends on the depravity and choice of prey.
didn’t that mediocrity from military ‘intelligence’ who’s now in parliament dress up as a nazzie at Duntroon? Can’t think of the creep’s name.
Tales of insects and arachnids within the last week:
Case study one: Massive black wasp with the very fashionable bright orange appendages discovered on the lower window frame in the garage one morning when checking if the bin had been emptied (i.e. didn’t notice it until it was almost under my nose). Solution: Gassed and then dumped outside into the gutter.
Case study two: Massive tarantula noted lurking in the bathtub at about 6:00am. Solution: Clubbed to death with a handy blunt instrument and then flushed down the toilet.
It pays not to think too hard about how to deal with these creatures, Cats. 🙂
Love to know what the others questions are?
They did actually ask Parrot if he did the Nazi salute, the other two I made up but they would have been smoking gun questions.
Andrew Wilkie?
Please please please let Kean take over as Premier up to the pasting in March.
I would just love to see his face after the debacle on election night.
Yep Z2KA- a tenth rater with a BA of course
Elvis was a dog for the Federal Bureau of Incompetence getting the low-down on John Lennon for his peace activism. Hence a spook. With Ed you’re a spook or a flamer or both but can’t be neither.
All those reporters are able to recall in exhaustive detail, every arm movement & gesture they made at their 21st birthday party.
… hence they expected Dominic the Dominator to give a serious reply.
Wow…. just … wow.
True.
During the months we spent at Evans Head I walked the breakwater daily hoping to catch one of the annoying, huge school fish that taunted me*. No luck. But on one occasion I did see a monster python soaking up the sun with a black snake curled, asleep, on top of him.
*Grigory #1, the real Grigory, identified these fish first time I posted about them, and he suggested the best way to catch them. He has been gone for a very long time. I hope he survived the cancer.
How did a hothouse flower like him ever make it to LTCOL?

He was a company commander in 6RAR, at one stage, and the ouens there didn’t regard him as any military genius.
Just about. Every time I try to be a decent person, some monstrous example of inhumanity attempts to belt me in the face.
It is all getting rather tiresome …
Pretty tame affair if you can remember your 21st party.

The third observation is that the Left believe ‘might’ will correct their mystification, but it never does, nor can it do so. All it can do is create the mountains of skulls that attend their inability to understand their ignorance.
Have you attended an Oktoberfest?
Once at Mornington racecourse 2018. Sneaky Sound System played and were good. Shannon Noll was going ok before he wanted to blue a bloke spraying everyone with what Noll thought was beer from glass, which of course wasn’t glass, rather water from a plastic bottle.
And glass was prohibited of course.

If it wasn’t the Chicken then the Raven or the Magpies would have done the job.
Wilkie is the local member here, like Albo but with more prominent ratlike characteristics. The local press and many Tasmanians love him, he hired a token tranny. I saw him fondling the produce in the local fruit and veg barn once, he looked guilty. Disconcerting to ponder where something that goes in your mouth might have been.
His sons, sadly, are potatoes.
The quality of the fresh produce (not from their own farms) on offer of late at Spudshed is appalling- Cheap, but often has been cold-stored for a long time and thus freezer-burnt, half-rotten or just poor quality in general.
Having said that, much of the rest of the stuff they stock is pretty good. And 24hr opening at places like Jandakot is remarkably convenient for shiftworkers.
Before we start calling people “idiot” let’s review this:

Channel 7 news did report that classified documents were found in Joe Biden’s garage but managed not to mention that more were found in the Penn Biden offices at the University of Pennsylvania. They also managed to not mention how much Chinese money has been flowing into the Uni. after the Penn Biden institute was established nor how much Joe was paid to teach there, despite not actually doing any teaching.
Minor oversights I know; I’m sure they’ll be on to it tomorrow.

Fruit and veg usually has a pretty direct price/quality trade off. I used to shop at an ex-markets Vietnamese place. Great prices but anything you couldn’t pick up to inspect was a complete not so lucky dip. Their interpretation of “marketable quality” was certainly wider than mine.

No, when it comes to this I’m on Perrottet’s side. He shouldn’t have grovelled. He was right to apologise and then just say to MSM scum…MOVE ON.
A few points…
Dominic Perrottet has been a disappointment as premier of NSW. Why? Well, because he’s simply a supine puppet of Green Kean and various other NSW Liberal scum. But the issue here is that the Liberals have been effing useless for years, well before Perrottet. The Liberals, after twelve years of doing nothing in NSW, will lose bigtime in March 2023. All they’ve done since 2011 is pursue and implement progressive hard left policies, in other words a Labor lite party. The NSW Liberals are pointless and need to be obliterated, wiped off the face of the earth. It’ll be good riddance to them in two month’s time. However, and it’s a big “however”, I find this jihad against Perrottet for wearing a Nazi uniform to a party when he was 21 to be both ridiculous and smelly, for a number of reasons.
Perrottet has been set up, probably from within his own party, and the tawdry leftist MSM have jumped on the bandwagon to target him because he’s a Liberal premier and they want him gone. I strongly suspect the culprit for the leak is that disgusting effwit David Elliott, former police minister, the same effwit who helped lock up this state during Covid, the same effwit who described protesters in July 2021 as “boofheads”, the same hypocrite who refused to act on the BLM protesters in June 2020 until it was too late.
Perrottet was 21 years old when he donned a Nazi unform. So what if he put on a Nazi costume at that age and went to a party. I DON’T CARE. I remember going to a fancy dress party and seeing someone arrive in a Nazi uniform, yes I found it offensive but also ridiculous and I remember the man being taunted and joked about. Perrottet didn’t join the Nazi party (and the closest party to the Nazi party in this country is the Greens, oh and they don’t even hide their Jew hatred, but but you know, progressive Jew hatred is quite kosher).
There wouldn’t be one person here on this blog who didn’t do something stupid when they were 21 years old, or even when they were 30 or 40 years old, in fact I would hazard a good guess that some here have done stupid things even in middle age. Oh and our very classy (sarcasm) current PM, at 21, was a paid up Trotskyite who engaged in some very unsavoury activities at local ALP branch meetings. Albanese was known to be a well known loudmouth thug.
You know the whole thing stinks when you get real Jew haters like a former premier of NSW and the Greens join in the pile on of Perrottet. I find the MSM beat-up and the reaction from the Greens interesting, very interesting. Many on the left, particularly the Greens and their advisors, have been caught out for making anti-Semitic remarks, remarks made not when they were 21 years old but when they were older and actually involved in politics. I also note that Green scum such as Bandt, Faruqi, Hanson-Dung and others have attended anti-Israel demonstrations where banners have been waved with swastikas superimposed over Star of Davids (now that is offensive), where there have been posters calling for “Jews to be shoved in ovens”, yet these Greens have never had to face any accountability for attending such demonstrations, and let me tell you here and now, as a Jew, I find those actions from the left far more concerning and far more serious for the Jewish community than some snotty, pimply boy from Sydney’s north-east attending a party in a Nazi uniform when he was 21.
I’ll leave it at that, and whilst I’m not into conspiracies, I believe this ludicrous screeching by the MSM about Perrottet is yet another attempt by the left and their servants in the MSM to gaslight, dog whistle and screech about how those of us who refuse to kowtow to the leftist progressive narrative, are Nazis. NO. Dominic Perrottet is not a Nazi and has never been a Nazi, not even when he was 21 years old and he put on a stupid costume. But there are modern day Nazis, and they’re found in the left of Labor and in the Greens…end of rant!
Having now been to Athens, Dubai, Singapore and Bangkok, it certainly gives one an appreciation of the destruction that Dickhead Dan wrought on Melbourne.
