10. WHAT WILL HAPPEN AFTER THE REFERENDUM?
If the Yes case wins, the government will move quickly to introduce the implementing legislation, which will be debated like any other bill.
At present, it looks as though this is where the detail people are demanding will emerge.
A defeat would be “a constitutional and moral disaster,” Prof Craven says.
“Australians will have, for whatever reason, rejected their Indigenous brothers and sisters. It will just be a catastrophe I reckon,” he says.
“If it fails, certainly I don’t think it will happen again in my lifetime.
“But I am certain Indigenous people will have another shot at it in the future,” Mr Button says.
“It’s people’s right to vote and people’s right to have opinions if it should or shouldn’t win, and I desperately hope it wins.”
What is clear is that if it fails, no government is likely to try this again any time soon.
So there you have it. Referendum gets defeated, as others here have said, will be a Bill introduced where Labor have a majority.
A catastrophe looms however, what catastrophe that befalls black fellas remains unexplored.
It’s all about the feelz ladies and gentlemen, nothing more.
Look I hate to break it to you BB but Rowe is a talentless moron. Wasn’t so painful was it?
BB I get the impression you see very little of the $60k per person spent on Aboriginals. None of the few I know see a cent. Someone is getting a lot and I suspect they’re not Aboriginals.

Gerard Henderson’s article in the Oz about the Pell Royal Commission:
Media pile-on fuelled by flawed commissionGERARD HENDERSON
JANUARY 14, 2023
It was a morning in mid-July when I last had an in-person conversation with Cardinal George Pell. We both addressed a conference of Catholic priests in suburban Sydney. His topic was The Church and its future – mine, The Pell case and the media.
I spoke about the huge media pile-on against Pell which was led initially by the ABC and the (then) Fairfax Limited newspapers The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald. They were later joined by Channel 9, The Guardian Australia, Channel 10 and The New Daily – and more besides.
Not every media outlet was unremittingly hostile to Pell – but most were. This commenced when Pell was appointed archbishop of Melbourne in 1996, continued when he took up a similar role in Sydney in 2001 and ramped up when Pell became the Vatican’s Prefect of Secretariat for the Economy (effectively the Holy See’s treasurer).
The royal commission was established to report on the responses of all Australian institutions into child sexual abuse. It turned out, however, that its focus was on Christian institutions – in particular the Catholic and Anglican churches. For example, in Tasmania, McClellan and his fellow commissioners conducted two case studies.
The royal commission examined the Hutchins School (which has a connection with the Anglican Church) and the Church of England Boys’ Society. In recent years, the Tasmanian government has established commissions of inquiry into government schools, a hospital and a youth detention centre – which were places of historical child sexual abuse. All of which were overlooked by the royal commission.
Paul Collins, the former Catholic priest and one-time ABC presenter, was no ally of Pell. However, in December 2017 he wrote in Pearls & Irritations that “the royal commission focused unduly on Catholicism”.
The royal commission devoted most of its attention to the Catholic Church – and Pell was in the witness box a total of around 35 hours. On occasions, he was treated with evident hostility.
It would have been difficult for Pell to receive a fair trial (which later eventuated) in view of the media pile-on in evidence since 1996. But this became all but impossible due to the media coverage of the royal commission
In the event, in June 2017 Victoria Police charged Pell with 26 historical child abuse charges ranging from the mid-1970s in Ballarat to the mid-1990s in Melbourne.
Graham Ashton, then Victoria Police’s chief commissioner, referred on radio to Pell’s “victims” even before he had been charged, much less convicted.
Ashton simply accepted the allegations against Pell run by journalist Louise Milligan on the ABC TV program 7.30 on July 27, 2016.
This came as no surprise since Victoria Police had set up a task force investigating Pell even before any complaint had been made against him.
In time, none of the charges prevailed. But Ashton went on the media again to say that Victoria Police had done a good job. It was like a coach of one of the rugby codes claiming victory after a 26 to zero points loss.
Only five out of the 26 charges made it to trial. A jury in the first trial could not reach a verdict. The second jury convicted Pell of all five charges – despite the fact that one of the charges had never been investigated by Victoria Police.
The Victorian Court of Appeal upheld the jury verdict by a two-to-one majority. But the dissent by Justice Mark Weinberg was devastating in content.

In time, the High Court of Australia – in a unanimous decision – quashed all charges and Pell was released, having served 405 days in a maximum-security prison. The hearings demonstrated that the Victorian Director of Public Prosecutions could not demonstrate how the alleged offences could have taken place.
It soon became clear that some journalists who led the media pile-on against Pell did not accept the High Court decision. This is evident in the comments of Milligan (ABC), Lucie Morris-Marr (The New Daily) and Melissa Davey (The Guardian Australia). David Marr (then writing for The Guardian) did accept the decision while remaining a Pell critic.
However, the media pile-on against Pell continued. He could no longer be plausibly depicted as a pedophile. But Pell’s critics now focused on the royal commission’s findings that Pell had been remiss in handling child sexual abuse when he was a priest, a bishop and an archbishop in Ballarat, Melbourne and Sydney respectively. They relied on the royal commission’s report.

Cardinal Pell set a ‘different tone’
UP NEXT
In Chapter nine of my book Cardinal Pell, the Media Pile-On & Collective Guilt (Connor Court, 2021), I document that the royal commission’s report with respect to Pell contains errors and a number of serious inconsistencies. Moreover, it did not produce any oral or documentary evidence in making its hostile findings against Pell. Instead, the royal commission found that Pell’s evidence was, variously, “inconceivable”, “implausible”, “not tenable”, “unlikely” and so on. These were opinions only, unsupported by evidence.
No one has challenged any of my criticisms of the royal commission’s findings with respect to Pell. Likewise, none of the Pell antagonists criticised by me have identified any errors in my book.
Pell’s critics prefer to ignore or downplay the High Court’s unanimous decision and run with the royal commission’s findings – concerning which Pell had no right of appeal or even an opportunity to respond in the body of the report. Royal commissions are not courts of law.
In my speech in Sydney, I made the point that, despite spending a year in jail, Pell needed a unanimous High Court judgment to minimise the campaign against him and totally discredit the falsehood that he was a pedophile.
When we met at lunch, I said to Pell that I hoped he was not upset at my comment. He replied that he had thought about this himself. Pell added that, without time in effective solitary confinement, he would never have written his three-volume Prison Journal (Ignatius Press).
It’s a fine piece of writing which contains a strong spiritual message about how to prevail against injustice without surrendering hope.

Grey Ranga:
It goes to the Big Men of any of the cultures.
I’d be in favour of DNA based I.D. if I was sure the government would police it, but you know damn well they wouldn’t.
The amount of welfare and tax fraud out there is – I suspect – in the scores of billions of dollars annually.
Probably why it won’t be brought in, there’s too many wealthy people on it.
No I don’t see any GreyRanga. Employed. But just say I go to the local Aboriginal health organisation, which I will need to do for a referral to an optometrist, I will pay for the glasses.
That’s no biggie.
But you asked ‘where does all the money go?’
Again, use the local org here as an example. The doctors that come here to see patients cost money. None are Aboriginal. Transport to Bendigo or Melbourne cost money. Unless you work in the org and indeed are Aboriginal, you see money then as your salary. Because a lot of staff aren’t black.
That’s the best way I can describe at this early hour without coffee lol.
Campbell:
1. WHAT WILL ITS POWERS BE?
The Voice’s proponents are adamant its powers will be limited to offering advice to parliament and government about matters impacting Indigenous Australians.
“It will be an advisory body that will be able to express a view,” Professor Greg Craven, a member of the government’s Constitutional Expert Group says.
As for fears it will be able to make laws, forget it.
“It won’t be able to amend them, can’t stop them (and) can’t make them,” he says.
“If I can compare it with something that already exists,” says Selwyn Button, a member of the government’s Referendum Engagement Group, “its powers will be not be dissimilar to a parliamentary committee that gives advice to government, the difference being this committee will be there forevermore.”
2. WHY PUT IT IN THE CONSTITUTION? WHY NOT JUST MAKE A LAW?
For advocates, this permanence is one of the most important reasons the Voice should be entrenched.
It goes back to history, says MUA official and signatory of the Uluru Statement from the Heart, Thomas Mayo.
“We have had established representative bodies many times in the past, either created by ourselves or by government, but, especially with changes of government, these representative bodies have been silenced or fundamentally changed,” he says.
“By constitutional enshrinement, the Australian people are saying to all future parliaments that the principle of listening to Indigenous people is something we want to last.”
Constitutional entrenchment also has a symbolic power that legislation lacks.
“By putting it in the constitution you give it extraordinary gravity and dignity, and it can’t just be abolished by an act of Parliament,” says Professor Craven.
3. HOW WILL IT BE CHOSEN?
This is really unclear. The position of the Referendum Engagement offers principles, which the government appears to endorse, that it should be chosen by Indigenous people “based on the wishes of local communities and representative of them, as well as being empowering, community-led, inclusive, respectful, culturally informed and gender balanced, and inclusive of youth. (chortle)
But so far there is no concrete detail.
When he is asked about this, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese points to the 272-page Voice Co-design Process report by academics Marcia Langton and Tom Calma.
This is problematic for two reasons.
Firstly, the report canvasses different ways members could be picked, from selection from local and regional voices, to representative assemblies from state or territories, or some kind of hybrid arrangement.
Secondly, as Prof Craven says: “The PM makes reference to Calma-Langton but doesn’t commit to it. We don’t really need detail, we need the architecture.”
Mr Mayo disagrees. “Calma and Langton lays this out,” he says.
“The government will do more consultation with communities. The referendum is not about the model, it’s about the principle.”
The model will be a matter for parliament to deal with later, he says.
“It is not something that we should be squabbling about. There will be many different views about the model. But the fact is the referendum is only about the principle.”
4. IS THE FINAL REFERENDUM QUESTION SETTLED?
The PM has made it clear — as recently as last week — the question put at the referendum is up for negotiation.
But most observers think it will be pretty close to the proposal he unveiled in his speech at the Garma Festival last July.
“They’re going to try and keep it as simple as possible,” Mr Button says.
“I think the thing we do need to start doing now is having consultation out in the community about it so the public understands the benefits.”
Professor Craven is sceptical: “On the surface there is an openness — time will tell”.
Janet Albrechtsen on the Britney the Knickerless payout:
There’s 5 more points in the article but I must away to Bendigo, bowls starts early today because of unprecedented heat. (Sarc)
Thanks BB. The cost of the health clinic costs pretty much the same no matter what colour we are. I wonder how much is paid by Medicare and State Health. These costs don’t come out of the Aboriginal budget.
Guess how much power these panels are generating from the clear blue sky?
Nothing.
Not a single electron is flowing.
They’re covered in snow.
Millions of dollars worth of “Power too cheap to measure” panels because – who would have guessed it? It snows in wintertime.

Correct, both times.
Excellent point made by Albrechtsen in comparing crook and/or injured veterans to that chubby fibber Higgins.
Appreciate the posting, Tinta.
Hyperbole and hysteria.
They will have rejected the referendum’s proposed constitutional changes. They have not rejected people.
What is it with these nightie tearers? Do they think if they tantrum enough they’ll get their way?
Oh. And nice artwork Dover.
Very appropriate – Finishing a project this weekend too. 😀
Melbourne councils are overwhelmingly backing Australia Day this year, ignoring the Albanese government’s call allowing them to scrap citizenship ceremonies on January 26.
Of the 31 councils in metropolitan Melbourne, 28 have chosen to mark the national day b swearing in new Australians, ignoring trendy inner-north areas of Darebin, Merri-bek and Yarra, which scrapped January 26 events as a protest over the treatment of Indigenous Australians.
The resistance by councils in the nation’s most progressive city to dumping Australia Day comes as some Indigenous activists push back against a long-running focus on changing the date.
Maybe they have been hearing polls like the recent one which said 80% of people surveyed want councils scrapped…
Good news, BB, you aren’t stupid. Rowe’s cartoon is merely malicious, ill-informed and ill-informing.
Clinging to his own idiotic idio-tropes he keeps with the Trump being crowned like a ruler (seriously, depicting him as a ‘born-to-rule’ type), with the Twitter-bird in the crown (we can now see it is remarkable what he managed to do when we know Twitter was actively working to bring him down).
He shows Trump wrapped in reams of ‘classified’ material, which is also concealing – which overlooks the fact that taking a copy of a classified document does not remove the master copy which is kept filed, or that when a classified document is declassified copies created before then do not magically have the ‘Classified’ marking evaporate off. As President Trump could declassify documents. As VP Biden did not have that power.
By contrast he shows Biden as calm, collected, and compos mentis, with just a bit of classified material stuck in the heel of his shoe – minuscule and accidental, as opposed to Trump’s copious and deliberate.
He is also overlooking the fact that Trump had been actively engaging with Archives, returning whatever documents upon request (so they must have had a good idea of what was there) and stored documents with security that satisfied NARA – even adding new locks to satisfy their standards. The documents seized with such theatrical display included menus and magazines, and for all the leaks and hints about launch codes and nuclear secrets, it would appear the FBI have found nothing Trump should not have had – a very deafening silence confirms this. Biden’s materials, on the other hand were stored without security and they will not tell us what they were which, if their nature could defuse the story, they would have.
Rowe is immune to fact, but thrives in a medium of leaks, rumour, and gossip deliberately calculated to lead people away from truth. The swamp could use him as a barometer to tell them when to rain more sewage onto the world.
In defence of shorter people:
Ha!
Ed is precisely the mushroom Rowe’s excrement is meant for.
It’s our money. At least tell us how much we were stung for.
Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus used his powers to muzzle Reynolds in particular, and to demand she not attend the mediation.
Yeah, because Reynolds has an ax to grind.
To wit, she was forced to make a groveling public apology to Higgins and pay $80 grand to a charity of Higgins’ choice, to avoid Court Proceedings.
With Reynolds Costs now being guaranteed by the Government, there is Moral Hazard involved, since she has no financial liability against scuppering the Mediation.
Calli:
It’s worked well so far.
It’s our money. At least tell us how much we were stung for.
Let’s see, since Arithmetic is clearly not your strong suit.
25 million people in Australia.
Let’s say Higgins was awarded $1,000,000.
Cost to Calli McHolierThanThou: 4 cents.
Cost to the above if Higgins had to do a Lindy Chamberlain and take successive Governments on over a 30 year period: more than 4 cents.

Rosie was talking about Pell.
WASHINGTON, DC — After multiple caches of highly classified government documents were found in different locations belonging to President Joe Biden, the United States Department of Justice acted swiftly to indict former President Donald Trump for the alleged crime.
“This is a serious violation of federal regulations,” Attorney General Merrick Garland said in a press briefing announcing the indictment. “We will take all measures available to the Justice Department to hold Donald Trump accountable for President Biden being found in possession of these documents.”
“No one is above the law.”
Let’s look at your arithmetic.

You’ve gone very quiet, Knuckle Dragger.
Conferring with your handlers as to how to respond to my reply, by any chance?
Id be in favour of the total elimination of government ‘welfare’ and a return to the old days of ‘private charity’.
Back then, the salvos, or the church or your neighbours, or whoever it was, had a first hand view of who you were, what your circumstances were, and whether you deserved their help. They had an incentive to get you off charity and back into society.
Nowadays, welfare is just business and the recipients are farmed, with much of the proceeds being skimmed off to the government and the various grievance groups involved.

Janet A is again superb, it’s why I still subscribe to the Oz, because of her, Mitchell, Kenny, Merritt and a few others. As for this payout, why on earth is anyone surprised? Britney da Knickerless was given a job, she did that job superbly because, and I’ll say it again and again and again, Scumbag Morrison and the Liberals were worse than useless, they were so utterly craven and supine, they couldn’t fight their way out of a guinea pig cage, and now Britney’s been remunerated by the taxpayer, very nicely too. And don’t worry, it’s a winning formula that will be replicated again in the future, of course, only a formula that’ll be be used against Liberal and National politicians. But then again, the Liberals and Nationals will have only themselves to blame because you reap what you sow. Cowardice and capitulation will get you nowhere. In 1940, Scumbag would have waved the Germans through London.
I despise Sleazy the word Slusher but I loathe Morrison more, because Morrison dumped on his own. He is not missed.
Same with the put up job on parrot twerp. Zero sympathy.
I would also add
That’s what precipitated the Reeeee! up thread.
The moment people twig that it’s their money being used against them – all of them – things might change.
Speaking of ScoMo, Rex Patrick wrote a column at Michael West which has the Americans expecting 170bill for the subs deal.
Column is not perfect, but ScoMo will live a comfortable life because he saddled taxpayers with this bill.
Kill the link the Producer screamed.
Once you jump that hurdle you’re in the High Court not Parliament. Think Mabo and European Court of Justice and the attraction is obvious.
“Same with the put up job on parrot twerp. Zero sympathy.”
I actually do have sympathy for Perrottet but he should have stood in front of the MSM on Thursday and said, “yes I did a stupid thing when I was 21 years old, MOVE ON”. And if the MSM pursued it, then “who among you hasn’t done a stupid thing when they were 21 years old?” Instead, by furiously apologosing and grovelling, Perrottet fed the MSM lions and like all lions, they’re hungry for more.
Anyway, Jewish community leaders and rabbis have rallied to support Perrottet because we know where the real Jew haters are, it isn’t in some story about a spotty, snotty 21 year old going to a party, the real Jew haters are alive and well operating in Labor left and in the stinking putrid Greens.

I used to think so but I’m not sure anymore. Watching people’s gullibility over Covid has destroyed any hope I have. People are being deliberately gaslighted, and it appears they lap it up. I never thought I’d see the day where Australians were so willingly apathetic, so willingly captured and so utterly gullible. People like us, here, are a minority.

On the dress-ups. Costume parties and the things people wear to them go in fashions like everything else. I have no doubt that, at the turn of the century, it was reasonably common to have people dressing up as Nazis, particularly if you had a “goodies and baddies” theme.
And it’s always much more fun to dress as a baddie, particularly for a nerdy looking young man who could get away as a ringer for an Allo! Allo! character.

Conversion of energy from one form to another e.g. gas to electricity (for heating), involves some considerable energy wastage. Turbines aren’t that efficient.
Fuels like like LPG and LNG can be used as they are, rather than undergo conversion to another form.
Using a convenient transport fuel to generate electricity when you have unlimited coal is, to put it plainly, frickin insane.

Nut Case since you know waving in the breeze britnee was raped it must have been you coz brucie didn’t do it and britnee doesn’t know. That only leaves you. Britnee the nickerless presented false evidence, deleted phone records and lied about her dress. She should have been sacked the same as brucey.

Indeed, Cassie. I almost wish dad didn’t teach me to be sceptical. Ignorance is bliss, after all. However, I doubt it would’ve lasted. I always want to know the big picture. I could never operate with blinkers. Fortunately, people slowly cotton on, but like in a disaster, they usually wait until it’s too late. It feels like The Matrix, where they only redpill one person at a time. And some are like that guy who just want to believe they’re eating steak, and will betray their peers to live is blissful ignorance.

A British ship is sinking. The radio operator is sending out a distress call saying “Mayday, mayday we are sinking. Please help”. A few kilometres away, a German ship hears the call, and the radio operator, who doesn’t speak English very well and is new on the job, answers “Uh hello, we hear you. Um, what are you sinking about?”

After church on Sunday, the pastor approaches the family and confirms their dinner the coming Friday. After making small talk for a few minutes, the pastor turns to the couple’s 5-year-old. “Have your parents told you what they will be making for us on Friday?” The child thinks a second and replies “Goat”. The pastor squinted and exclaimed “Goat?” As the parents are speaking up to clarify, the child cuts in loudly. “Yeah, yesterday I heard mummy tell daddy that Friday is as good a day as any to have the old goat for dinner!”

Albrechtsen did time on the ALPBC board. I suspect she can look after herself. The risk of Arkancide is fairly low in Australia.
So, rather like a parallel, unelected Opposition, but racially based – and, if the Calma Langton model is adopted, with hands directly in the policy development.
Indeed.
If this ‘advisory role’ is such a trivial embellishment to the legislative process, why not send the Opposition home after a Government is elected? Why bother with Parliamentary debate at all?
Not a Third Chamber, for sure – but a massive bolt-on to the Government side of both Houses. Any legislation coming to Parliament blessed with Voice Approval would be fireproofed and sandbagged against Opposition scrutiny – irrespective of its merits:
“Mr Speaker, once again, Mr Speaker, those opposite choose to throw dirt in the faces of the Nation’s First Peoples – Dirt Mr Speaker – by questioning the ancient wisdom that has the Voice supporting the Union Preference in SME Award Negotiations Bill (2023)…”

Today I learned that US ambassadors get the same budget (ex security) regardless of appointment.
So you have to prove you can fund the gap of what’s expected of the post.
The cost of getting the London role is $US17mill per annum.
So why do people want these roles?
It’s because you get the capital gains exemption like others in the executive branch.
That cgt exemption applies to all ambassadors regardless if it’s the “premium” one or the less sought after ones.
Call me cynical but…
Vanity.

Perhaps the odd one does it to serve their country.

Don’t tell anyone, but I did buy a studio Italia suit once (young family wife not working) , it was the only suit where I did had to amend the girth of the pants in but

Ed: You kept asking me for my opinion on HMAS Sydney. You’ve got it. Got evidence to the contrary?
Edward, Ed, Ted, mate…if you have an alternative to the now-accepted story, it’s up to you to prove it.
Not to just fling some accusation out – “there was a cover-up” – and then say “prove me wrong”.
There’s been some excellent books on the subject. Wes Olson’s HMAS Sydney (II) In Peace and War is perhaps the best, and extremely comprehensive at 620 pages, but David Mearns did an excellent coverage of the search and discovery.
Now off you go to the library and check them out, and if you have some sort of alternative account after that then publish it. Or you can come on here and lay it out page by page and see how you fare.
I bought my first bespoke suit in 2009.
I still have it.
There have been times when it has been too tight & times when it’s been too loose.
Cost 1200.
Still looks great.

Did you take a look at the Money Centre bank stocks after the results last night? Prices were stunningly volatile. They actually had a decent result by and large too and ended up on the day. What a day.
Punters seem to be playing the likely shallow recession, but I think it’s been discounted.
This is an interesting stealth issue that I’m sure Team Albanese has considered.
At an apartment I know quite well, three residents have installed EV chargers in their garages (with Body Corporate approval). Two other residents have now applied for the same permission – only to discover (along with the BC) that the unit switchboard only has capacity for one more EV load.
The argument then became “well, upgrading the switchboard benefits all residents, future-proofing the building for when they want an EV of their own…”.
With a bit of guidance, the argument stalled on the realisation that the supply side pad transformer and street transformer would also need replacing at a cost of $350,000 – $500,000 (providing the exchange fit in with the Energex reticulation plan).
Rinse and repeat 1000’s of times.
In good hands.
Do a Putin before the war. Have the chief tailor at Brioni or Kiton come to measure you up (twice) and pay US$80,000 for the bag of fruit. Looking good. Always look good, even if you start a war and get the shit beaten out of you.
“Does that include running for POTUS in 2024?”
There was a time when the thought of it was not so bad, she will be tested at times sans the fawning press to cover for her and things will be OK. Then they installed a turnip as president. Fear is the appropriate response to ideas like Mooch 2024.
No, Prof. Craven, they will have rejected an amendment to the constitution that was thin on detail and fat in implications.
And seeing as you want to talk about morality, ordinary Australians can have a different view from the elites on how indigenous people can best progress without having to wear the label “racist”.
Just quickly revisiting Rosie’s post linking to a rebuttal of the “Pell got off on a technicality” – that technicality being evidence – it ought to be borne in mind that for lefties evidence is a technicality.
For that matter so are trials, which are only a florid way of announcing judgements decided long before, in small back offices, by a small group, and in the service of imperatives utterly unrelated.
What could be more progressive than a show trial.
“Even if you are a semi regular wearer of them, a bespoke suit is the way to go.”
With increasing years the mind turns to the inescapable fact that we all need something to be buried in.

Cardinal George Pell’s final days spent writing furiously about the Catholic Church’s ‘toxic nightmare’
Unfortunately for those hoping to find the traditional ABC caricature ‘toxic nightmare’ of kiddie fiddling, financial corruption, and voluptuary – the ABC Rome hackette finds:
Strangely, the piece doesn’t criticise Pell for sharing those views. Presumably, for an ABC audience, they are so heretical, outrageous and revolting that no further comment is required.
I came across a meme yesterday, where some fellow says he looked at the contact list in his phone and saw it had things like “John Electrician”, “Mark Landlord”, and he realised that Anglo names have always worked like that.

typically, a building can’t get extra capacity without upgrades to transformers, consumer’s mains, and internal distribution infrastructure
truly, infrastructure upgrades are gonna make a very serious dent in your budget.
right now we are in the process of putting together a budget estimate for some charging in a large residential tower.
They’re lucky this time, their tranny, consumers mains and MSB have the spare capacity.

In the US it used to be a cultural expectation that the wealthy would be philanthropists providing the resources for charities to provide welfare. Of course that has been usurped by governments.
I can recall a prescient ‘Peanuts’ cartoon where Linus is saying to Charlie Brown “when I grow up I want to be a great philanthropist” to which Charlie responds “you need to have a lot of money to be a great philanthropist” so Linus thinks about it and says “well I’ll be a great philanthropist with someone else’s money”.
