I know I’m privileged to have Luigi the Unbelievable of the Immaculate Dentata come to Canberra but surely Alice Springs is in another country if he’s going there so why are we so concerned with Alice Springs. The penny has dropped, he’s more concerned with what happens overseas than Australia. Silly me. Does Luigi know Alice Springs is in Australia?
“I understand that the prime minister is travelling there. I know the chief minister is heading down there this morning as well. I think it’s a positive that both are going down there to see what is occurring on the ground and doing a lot of listening,” he said.
And once ‘Albo’ has done that listening, he and the Federal Cabinet can start to listen to the rest of the Country where the long suffering Taxpayers live. Fat chance I know..
dunno how he split the neutral
or if he switched both active and neutral over from mains-side to gen-side
I wager though, that the neutral for that lighting circuit is landed on the wrong neutral bar

“Greens Senator reveals art defacer part of staff
Greens Senator Jordon Steele-John has revealed one of the protesters who defaced a Frederick McCubbin painting last week with a Woodside Energy logo is a member of his staff.
In a Twitter post, Senator Steele-John said he was proud to throw his full support behind “long-time member” of his office team Joana Partyka, who spray-painted the logo of the energy giant on the perspex covering the painting. More
“Our Greens movement has proud roots in protest and activism and (Ms Partyka’s) actions are a staunch reminder of who we are and the power of direct action to draw attention to injustice.”Knowing Jo and her profound reverence of art, when I heard she’d done this action I knew she would have agonised over the decision. “I knew that her deep commitment to racial and climate justice meant she couldn’t stay quiet in the face of this important issue.” I also knew that Jo would have taken all steps possible to ensure Frederick McCubbin’s ‘Down On His Luck’ – nor any other artwork – was not damaged in the protest. “The (Art Gallery of Western Australia) has confirmed this is the case, and it speaks to how responsible and considered Jo is as a person.” Ms Partyka has been charged with one count of criminal damage.
I’d like someone to vandalise Steele-John’s office, or his home or his wheelchair. Let’s see how he likes that.

KD: I’m told by showground workers that they’re “Showies”
“Carnies” is apparently the US equivalent & here in Oz is an insult.
*this information is usually delivered when they’re in their cups, though ride owners (who usually don’t get sheet-faced in the pub) confirm the terminology.
(When showtime comes around this year I’ll try to check for a definitive ruling from the “Head of the showground” or whatever the title is)
Where would government laws here protect the landowner? Hun:
The owner of a Thomastown home that was shot at in an early morning dispute claims her tenant has changed the locks, owes her rent and refuses to move out.
Homeowner and mother-of-two Phuong Tran said she invited her friend Lindsay Bell to stay at her home in November in a bid to help him during a tough time.
But she alleges Mr Bell, 40, has since taken over the home and invited a group of men who she does not know to stay with him.
“I trusted him,” healthcare worker Ms Tran told the Herald Sun.
“I tried to do the right thing.
“He brought a lot of people in. A lot of people come in and out of the home.
“Now I’m terrified.”
She said she was suspicious of activity going on at her home.
Ms Tran said she gave Mr Bell 60 days notice to move out in November.
“He didn’t respond,” she said.
“I’ve been trying to get them out but they refuse.”
She said she attempted to go through VCAT but her application was knocked back due to incorrectly filling out paperwork.
She added that multiple attempts reporting the trouble to local police at Epping station had fallen flat.
Ms Tran claims Mr Bell disconnected her from accessing CCTV cameras fixed to the home.
She also alleged he changed the locks and has caused physical damage to her home.
Despite the ordeal, Ms Tran said she wanted the best for Mr Bell.
“At the end of the day, I hope he’s OK,” she said.
“I’m not judging, I just want him to get all the people to move out and give the house back.
“I want to get peace for my neighbours.”
Mr Bell was contacted for comment.
From the pics in the piece, appears Mr Bell is going for the ‘always was, always will be’ mantra oft repeated in relation to ‘black land’, but taking it a bit far.
I’d bulldoze with the men still inside. The police might act then, but not in favour of Ms Tran.

Dutton has shown that he is not a leader for our times. His dithering is not acceptable. Obsession with details re The Voice is fine but where are the fundamentals of equality? He is legitimising the Voice by not pointing out its racism.
Northern Territory Chief Minister Natasha Fyles announced that Monday and Tuesday will be “takeaway alcohol-free days” in Alice Springs.
Instinctively reaching for communal punishment to avoid being called racist by applying the sanctions to the individuals (overrepresentitive by a incredible proportion by the Aboriginals) directly involved.

Watching the vile piece of excrement attempting to pass himself off as some sort of statesman while he’s in the NT (with that preposterous fat smug equally foul and totally corrupt human garbage bag Dodson looking over his shoulder) is simply excruciating.
Listen, you utterly useless and ridiculous waste of space – your stupid bloody clown show of a government’s policies have directly contributed to the third world sh*tshow that is Alice Springs currently. Do something constructive about stopping it, you monumental f*ckwits. If you can’t then have the decency to admit you’re completely bereft of any solutions (not that you ever had any in the first place) and resign.
Oh – and while you’re at it, take your stupid bloody racist third world “voice” and shove it up your lard laden house sized backside, you obnoxious z-grade mediocrity.

Cassie this morning:
The trans movement is the logical extension of the gay marriage campaign, which the male homosexual movement won around 2015.
The militant poofter money had to go somewhere and it went into the campaign to recruit confused young boys as fodder for male homosexuals.
The trans movement is evil personified — a predatory movement by homosexuals against our most vulnerable children.
Also in Alice Springs today, but probably not mentioned to Luigi the Unbelievable during the briefings (NT News):

Our very own Santo Francis of Assisi…….Santo Albo of Grayndler. Who grew up in housing commission with a single mother, who didn’t know his father until he was in his late thirties, who fights injustice, who fights discrimination, who fights inequality, who fights imaginary Australian Tories, we’re so lucky to have him as our PM, has flown to Alice Springs to spread messages of love, of peace, and to learn and to listen, yet many indigenous Alice women are Voicing their desire for the Cashless Debit Card to be reintroduced in order to stop grog fuelled violence sweeping across Alice. Will Santo Albo listen to their Voices? After all, those women are indigenous Voices. Or does progressive ideology trump the the Voices of indigenous women and children? I suspect we all know the answer to that.
I also knew that Jo would have taken all steps possible to ensure Frederick McCubbin’s ‘Down On His Luck’ – nor any other artwork – was not damaged in the protest. “The (Art Gallery of Western Australia) has confirmed this is the case, and it speaks to how responsible and considered Jo is as a person.”

Funny to watch the old thief’s former ‘friends’ turn against the old grub. Reminds me of that scene in The Mechanic where Charles Bronson knocks off an old con that was no longer useful to the ‘organisation’.
Carnies.
Carnies is the word in Victoria.
Using previous experience (in the NT, at least) as a guide, all this will do is lead people – the younger people both for themselves and coached by older, more decrepit people – to break into homes, a la the old lady’s home referred to just above, looking for grog stocks.
In Darwin on Good Friday this year when the takeaway bottlos were closed, carloads of indig were going door to door (of which one was mine) with pineapples in hand looking to buy grog from the residents.
In Alice Springs, they dispense with such niceties and just start smashing doors and windows in.
Bwah ha ha ha.

Tennis Australia not covering itself in glory, part of a report Hun website:
TA’s promotion of same-sex pride, Indigenous celebration and disability inclusiveness is ubiquitous at the Australian Open, but its relationship with Peng Shuai activism has been rocky.
Last year, tournament security tried to ban activists from wearing ‘Where is Peng Shuai?’ T-shirts in a policy move that was reversed following widespread backlash.
Compounding matters for TA is that one of its major sponsors, Luzhou Laojiao, is a Chinese distillery company. One of the courts at the Australian Open is named 1573 in a nod to the year the company was established.
Asked on Tuesday about whether the lucrative sponsorship posed a conflict of interest amid calls to advocate for Peng, TA gave no response. The contract expires in June.
So TA are happy to take the money of Chinese companies but remains silent over the plight of Peng Shuai, whilst promoting same sex pride and the refusal to have Thursday named as Australia Day.
Burn it all to the ground.

He was a hard worker and a nice fella, but his stories of life in the side shows would turn your hair white. He had no idea that his life was out of the ordinary.
Apparently he never left his caravan without a big shifter in the back pocket of his overalls in case one of his colleauges expressed proprietry rights over his companion of the evening before.
His post carnie life revolved around the bar at the Cronulla footy club. Different strokes.

Had similar experience.
Some years ago, the bloke who used to own the jukebox & pool table run had grown up on the show circuit, was related to half of them, had spent most of his life running sideshows, & was “in retirement” with the jukebox run.
He was very bright & a lovely gentleman. A coupla few occasions he took the time to yarn to me, mainly on the workings of the Showman’s Guild & the below-the-surface rules of the showground, plus a lot of (hard earned) wisdom on dealing with the public.
I used to hang onto his every word, it was an vicarious & amazing view into a world I never knew existed. Listening to him left you simultaneously vowing to never become one, whilst marveling at how they kept the complex (& necessarily informal) system of rules together.
Oi oi oi, KD. I’m merely passing on what they’ve mentioned.

Carnies-5. All second or third hand stories
Showies 2. Never ever heard Showies described as, heh, Carnies.
Although Salvatore is walking it back at 100 mph, by 8:30 pm he’ll be nominating for Carnies.
“Showies”, for the last couple of decades. Until the nineties they were “show people”. That’s how they always described themselves when I knew them in the seventies and early eighties. Carnies is an American term, obviously short for carnival. They were never called Carnivals here in Oz. Always called a Circus and/or Show. “Silver’s Family Circus” was one I knew well.
Someone up thread mentioned Ashton’s. They were always called Ashton’s Circus. No one cares what Victorians call them. It’s Victoria.
If you need to know more, the ALPBC made a short series on Show People and how the Government was finally able to bring education to the kids. Many show people were illiterate as obviously they were always on the move. State governments developed travelling school houses, Caravans, with teachers that followed along to teach the children. It worked quite well. I don’t know if it is still done that way. Anyway, I digress, in the series, the people call themselves Show people and Show Families.
Think of the jacarandas.
Almost correct. Eh,Groogs?
You’ve had a ping pong ball in your mouth on occasion, HB Bear?
Yeah, it was Showies in 1972 when a Showie hit a friend of mine on the top of the head with a ballpeen hammer at Mackay Show, and it was still Showies when that Showie was killed at the Jockey Club during Gympie Show in 2006.
‘The carny was angry that day, my friends.’

Many many years ago when I lived in Bondi one of the treats was an electrical storm way out to sea.
Pogria, the Travelling Showman’s School (or Travelling Show Children’s School) or whatever it was called, was a Qld Education Dept* initiative, a branch of the School of the Air.
(IIRC though it taught in most states & was assisted by the Commonwealth & other states, it was a Qld Education Dept fully autonomous “school”)
It withered on the vine & died off about ten years ago.
There may be something about it in Qld Education Dept archives or somesuch on the net.

“Immediate restrictions announced for Alice Springs”
Oh I see, so those “paternalistic, far-right, racist, white supremacist” restrictions, put in place by paternalistic, far-right, racist, white supremacist conservatives, were the right thing. But I guess “restrictions” are quite okay when Labor implement them.
Gotta laugh. As far as I’m concerned, the only reason the three blind mice dashed to Alice was because they know this situation is imperilling da Voice.

Very apt, an excellent descriptor of the groovy new idea of grouping six stubbies in a thin cardboard cage.

I have just received this letter from the IPA Class Action group that examines educational issues for the IPA. Should Australia ever reduce the voting age to 16, as is mooted for NZ, this letter outlines some of the issues our Nation would face with younger voters ‘severely educated’ by the left.
Personally, I can’t imagine a worse situation for Australian democracy than for a younger voting age to be made legal. Sixteen and seventeen year olds should not be voting. They are still developing their adult selves and would be very much subject to influences that they might resist if even two years older. Those two years are vital growing and developing years for gaining an adult perspective on life.

Anyway, there were a few times there were storms at night but which brought not a drop of rain. The wind would blow in gusts and there would be a charge in the air. The lightening came in random flashes at random times that made the clouds leap out from the blackness in grey-white spectral forms and disappear back into the dark in an instant. The fact the sky was so open made it even more invigorating for making you feel more exposed.
I found out afterward that for the locals it was not just some spectacular light show to stand beneath while finishing a Gamay Pinot Noir. The lightening would sometimes touch the ground and ignite fires on farmland – which were perfectly served by the lack of rain and gusts of wind.
Anyway, “Sliante” to all you mob.

Yesterday a 72 year old American with Vietnamese heritage with a spotless record takes his gun to a hall and kills 11 people (another one died today).
Today a 67 year old American with Chinese heritage with a spotless record takes his gun to work and kills 7 people.
WTF is happening.
Gun control is on the agenda, so they need killings. Whoever is running the program doesn’t understand that the perpetrator should at least have some potential to be a killer in their background. If he keeps picking mild mannered Asians, he can kiss his Christmas bonus goodbye.

Sharman gave the game away before Whitlam was elected PM.
(Some tent boxing names used from here on, apologies to those who’ve not frequented showgrounds)
My grandfather briefly boxed with Sharman.
You’re likely thinking of Fred Brophy’s tent. Selby Moore was his uncle, Fred took it over from him (Selby having taken it over from his brother Sandy)
One of the blokes who works for me used to box with Selby.
Fred occasionally comes into the pub, having left the tent & troupe somewhere out west while he nips home for secret boss-reasons. Though I’ve not seen him for a few years before Covid & certainly haven’t seen him since.
Fred is (or was) in addition to being Australia’s last tent boxing troupe, he was also a fellow publican.
Qld is (or was) the last bastion of fairground tent boxing, as everywhere else has a mandatory one-week break between “fights”. Tent boxers can have four or so “fights” each night.
I’m not sure where the Australian tent boxing scene is up to since Covid turned up & panicked our really smart government (Slomo, Talidan, Gladishocker, Princess Anastasia, et al) into shuttering our lives.
OK, reinstatement isn’t going to happen, but have you put it on them for redundancy, putting it about that if legal discovery turns up emails linking redundancy and vax sackings it could end badly for them?
I’m above the Fair Work $ limit so I have no recourse there. Only option is therefore a Civil Action which I will look at when I get completely out of Australia. They’re vindictive f’cks and I don’t want to cause anyone any trouble. The way I see it, the longer things go on the better they get with respect to likelihood of success. Regardless of the approach, those involved won’t be able to help hindsight the situation. At present, in hindsight, it looks like I was on the right track and a company full of doctors, hse experts and risk management experts had it completely wrong. Also, there’s friends of mine who have left the company who are so f’cked off with what happened, there’s some interest in some crowd sourced support to help run the case.

“It’s a real war now!”
The Kremlin has been pushing this nonsense for at least three months IIRC.
It is an utter embarrassment they haven’t rolled every province and township and driven the UAF into the Black Sea.
Kiev learnt quickly how to finesse their propaganda without outrageous claims after being dragged on a few dumb things, the Kremlin has not.
“It’s a real war now we have lost our best soldiers, masses of tanks and company grade officers…”
Putin’s top generals must thank their KGB god (worshipped by their KGB patriarch/wizard) that they’re not actually fighting Turkey, China or Finland.
China is the main beneficiary of this war, exactly what American strategists probably set out to achieve.
In the battle between Showies versus Carnies I feel I must take a side.
I choose #TeamRoss.
Bondi was fine until Jamie Packer moved in. Then it was plumber’s cleavage in the streets.

Trains.
Subterranean Naples was pretty good.
€10 cash only, first English language tour at midday.
It’s actually the ancient Greco Roman aqueducts 40 metres below.
The Greeks uses to dig deep wells to harvest the volcanic rock that covers the Neapolitan plain to build buildings in the immediate vicinity, then later the excavations were joined up, the river diverted and for 2300 years Neo Polis aka Naples had access to clean fresh water from this incredible network of aqueducts.
Then in the 19th century sewers were build at a higher level, the water was contaminated, cholera broke out and the aqueducts were closed by diverting the river again.
I’m guessing the wells, which were the only way to access the aqueducts, were then used as rubbish tips because eventually the aqueducts were filled with debris up to 7 metres deep.
Then world war two happened and Naples got bombed, a lot. A stair way was built, sloped to allow furniture to be taken down, the debris was concreted over, electricity, toilets and showers installed and 5000 people sheltered there from bombs.
The only three that actually direct hit via entering one of the two wells left open for ventilation failed to explode, though 72 people died in the stairwell during a stampede.
A lot of people preferred to take their chances in the open air as the underground toilets were apparently very stinky, I think there were 10 or 12 for the 5000.
We also visited some remnants of the old Greco Roman amphitheatre now mostly under more recent houses. Also fascinating, especially the explanation of Roman earthquake proofing building techniques.
Highly recommended if you are going to Naples.
We are currently taking three days R & R in a baronial pile that does a fair imitation of Balmoral Castle, which is not too far from here. This place, with its rear-facing a vista down the valley to the small town of Pitlochry on the edge of the rising domes of the snow-covered Cairngorms, offers to the town a vision of a massive three-turreted granite palace styled in the mid-Victorian Scottish Gothic, accented with a French flair, sitting like Cinderella’s Castle up on the hill. It was built in the 1870’s as a spa retreat, as a ‘Hydropathic’ Hotel. Shades of the Hydro Majestic in Sydney’s Blue Mountains and reminiscent too of the Cinderella’s Castles of the Railway Barons, such as that in Banff, Canada, all built around railway access to a spa complex, as was this one too. As you drive into the entrance on the other side, two stone battlemented towers stand at each corner, also topped with turrets, with the canopied entrance in the long middle of the building being where you enter into a very expansive and long hall down the other axis. It is all, as it was meant to be, rather impressive and imitative of Royal splendour in these highlands.
As a capitalist venture it has had a very chequered history. There is a small museum in the basement outlining the various fates this hotel has suffered. During both World Wars it was taken over by boarding schools, a girls’ school in WW1 and a boys’ school in WW2. From the 1880’s onwards its ‘health’ aspect diminished substantially (not surprising when you see the pics of the basement treatment rooms, where enema-delivering men in white coats stand by with enamel buckets to treat their victim on a surgical table). Patronage fell off for this experience and the hotel soon moved to providing all-round food, service and entertainment, until the First World War intervened. The old pics in the museum are fascinating, the fussy stuff people wore etc, one wonders how they managed to move. Until the 1950’s when decent central heating was installed the hotel only opened in the summer months. It changed hands at least eight times till recently, and mostly hasn’t had a good ROI. It now has a slightly aging decor, but is still very grand (with pretensions). The food is mass cruise-ship standard. The clientele are well-off and some do dress for dinner; others make less effort.
I have only one set of dinner-worthy clothing (for the funeral) so have to gee it up with some jewellery, which fortunately I did bring with me. We will look in the local shops this arvo for something else for me, a new Scottish jumper perhaps.
Our room is one of the main ones, in a turret, so half of it is in a large semi-circle with three sets of windows and tapestry drapes to pull over against the weather. We find the king-size sleigh bed very comfortable, although the red carpet everywhere in this great expanse of bedroom takes some getting used to, along with the gold velvet sofa and the gold and silver embossed wallpaper. At least it makes a change in terms of space from the pub at Kilmartin, where in order for Hairy to pack properly moving around the small double bed I had to sit on a chair placed in the ensuite.
There is no whisky porridge in this establishment, although the porridge pot is full enough. I suspect this place feels whiskey porridge is too much a fancy of the working man for their uniformed staff to approve. Luckily I purchased Hairy a small hip flask in Rovanieme imagining just such an emergency and sneak it out for a good whiskey tot’s worth at breakfast while admiring the view. Sets one up perfectly for the day of rambling, and I imaging for a bit of fishing and shooting too, where hip flasks can come into their own.
I can see why this sort of retreat did nothing to improve the choler about Royalty felt by the late Princess Diana and her new iteration, the Duchess of Sussex. You’d have to be keen to want to stay here for long and rather tedious holidays dressed in kilts and Harris Tweeds with sensible shoes.
Fun for a while though.
Another Clarke I know, but while we’re on the topic of Carnies, IIRC Geoff “ATSIC” Clarke is a former tent boxer, having boxed for a time with Sharman (boy does that date him)
On the great Carnies/Showies debate, perhaps we should turn to literature for some guidance:
“DON’T CALL US CARNIES: We’re Showies and Proud of it” by Norma Brophy.
Much of her married life her ‘home base’ was in Victoria – perhaps this is the story behind the title?
(I’ve not yet read the book, though it is on my office bookshelf – it being published only a year or so ago)
Another book on my office shelf, an excellent piece of Australian cultural history, and a definitive attempt at the history & culture of Australia’s travelling showmen is:
“The Showies” by Bob Morgan. He’s a Victorian & considerable sponsorship/endorsement of the book came from Victoria (perhaps nobody told them they’re supposed to call ’em Carnies?)
The book draws considerably upon input from, among others, Jimmy Sharman & Tom Wittingslow (both of whom are mentioned above by various Cats)
I thoroughly recommend it as a read, and as a “must have” for anybody with a shelf of, or a bent for, authentic Australian cultural history.
It is a serious history, an informative work on the history of Australia’s Travelling Showmen.
Lizzie, dunno if they still do it, or if things have changed with the passing of years, but Bell’s distillery at Pitlochry used to have one of the better (i.e. more informative) distillery tours, with an excellent spiel well crafted & well delivered.
It was almost a master-class on distilling & matters ancillary to it.
A good portion of the public were too dumb to grasp (or to value) what they were being taught during the distillery tour, so they may have toned it down.
OMG, Today’s Johannes Leak is a ripper!
Finishing this very fine day with a visit to the Poor Clare cloister and museum with Roman Baths thrown in.
The cloister has very beautiful 18th century majolica columns and benches you are not allowed to sit on.
The church attached was bombed in the war and the incendiaries caused a fire which burned for six days so they didn’t bother to try to restore the baroque renovations but returned it to its original state as Gothic.
The wooden roof trusses were replaced with concrete ones and covered in wood grain paint.
Will be interesting to see how that looks when I take a peek inside in quarter of an hour.
Salvatore, the distillery is now named the Blair Athol Distillery and yes, they do have tours, but we haven’t roused ourselves to do one. Hairy however is sampling lots of little bottles of different sorts of whiskeys that are for sale here. Nearby is also the Edradour Single Malt Distillery.
I should have said our room is under a turret not within it, it is part of a rounded stone edifice which forms the base of the turret, i.e. the base edifice which is three stories high, topped by the turret. The views from our room are spectacular. Hairy has gone downstairs to read beside one of the many roaring fires in the numerous comfortable sofa areas that are all in the great entrance hall, and I have promised to join him now, so will leave off catching up backthread with the Cat and go to watch the passing parade. He thinks I spent to much time and added too much unnecessary luggage weight when shopping the arvo, so needs mollifying. I think I need a new book to read as I’ve finished the Jeeves one, such an easy entertaining read. Hairy has lobbed on to The Palace Papers for fireside reading. Inside goss in it on courtiers and how they play the media is pretty interesting, as he’s finding out.

I have zero idea what’s going on in Ukraine or Russia.
But overnight two strategy notes have dropped into my in-box that in part discuss the economic implications of the reconstruction of Ukraine once a cease fire or peace deal is agreed to.
No-one of note but once you start seeing places like Goldman putting out notes like that & amplifying it (that’s the key) & people like Jamie Dimon and other genuine establishment figures talking reconstruction, that’s when the US military funding will pivot.
Time will tell.
I should have been clearer.
Wall Street will talk reconstruction after the US/Ukraine would have agreed to any timetable for an end in hostilities.
US/Ukraine agree.
Then Wall Street/Goldmans etc add to the change in narrative.
Former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has publicly demanded that Ukraine be admitted into NATO and be handed more guns from the West to fight Russia.My God I loathe these people. Moronic trash.
Is blojob even the full quid?
Zulu,
so happy to hear the memsahib is going well. Kudos.
Interesting how the keft want to lower the voting age although not for political purposes i have a problem with voting in the oldies demographic ,
I am battling the result ofvoters in Retirement Villages who vote for peace , go with the flow because of Cognitive decline . This is not Dementia but things becone too hard at a certain stage, to think about analyse, stress about so sign on the bottom line and it will all be taken out of your hands.
Here they have voted for an open ended contract 6 million to replace non compliant cladding . However the building has had water damage and black mould , Aspergillus niger since opening in2008 . I had 4 years of a bucket needing leak in ceiling early on , repaired but 5 th time in 20021 when i was told it could only be trectifued when cladding came off . Ten years ago there were 20 apartments with leaks All dealt with is phrase used.
Carpe told me as did architect friend that water damage etc likely to result at least in double the cladding costs but here we are with the OCC telling us when the variations can be estimated after cladding off they can negotiate the Price to fix.
How the Act for Retienpment Villages is structured residents have no powere, no access to Justice ecept VCAT which is slow and costly or a class action as Aveo have against them now. Anyway this is what Iam sor
So is Michael Ramirez going to be criticised or cancelled for using Nazi imagery? Asking for a friend in high places in NSW.
Min,
so sorry to hear what you have been forced to endure. I cannot offer any help, I have no legal training. I wish there was some way I could offer comfort. I hope you can keep fighting and are not forced to give in. Keep us updated, please so we know you are there.
Hey, hadnt finished so how previous post sent?
I am a happenstance person and an ENFJ on the Myer Briggs Anyway through of all people my car services man told me about a man who had helped hin so rang him yesterday , he came that afternoon expert in Apellant law , Galbally called on him for Pell case and this is what it was won on.,
Owner of Village in what appears to be in conjunction with original Builder has set up a complicated structure to thwart investigation and ways to making money fleecing oldies. I have with a couple of male friends here have uncovered all sorts of legal ways not ethical to do this, Builder not registered at time of construction with Asic or builders registration , btw one of leading luxury builders in Victoria, As built plans changed but changes not passed under regulations so we have 96 balconies not up to building regulations , for starters and the list gets longer . Issues of conflict of interest and as we have been told malfeasance but covered up so it all looks kosher . I think that is the explanation and why apelkant law is the answer.
My helper has 2 suster-sistersc in another Village going through difficulties as well not as bad as here tho’ .
It may have to end up in the media which then of course lower prices here but how could they sell anything with scaffolding and the black netting during works over building . Here is another issue , apart from cladding no vendor liabilities re building faults in Section 32 given on sale.
Fun and Games
Tucker: This is a middle finger in your face
min, if you google stories for people in your situation you can see one or two journo’s seem to be all over the problems you are faced with.
If your other avenues are drying up, you might want to contact them.
Having someone from The Age chasing them might change their attitudes towards residents.
Min, I wouldn’t give up on VCAT as an option. A handful of us, most over 70, won against the builders, developers and our local council, especially our actual ward counciller whose interference and participation in the process was suspect at best, without hiring a single expert. It cost us a couple of grand to file and was heard within a few months.
We did not hire experts we simply worked hard at putting together a coherent account dealing with each of the breaches, we used previously successful appeals as our template and presented it jointly with a confidence we did not entirely feel.
The council expert was an interesting side note. There was no doubt he presented their case professionally but it was clear to all of us his heart wasn’t in it. He had been ordered to do it but he knew the case was weak and against previous council policy.
It’s a tough spot you are in but you have more to regret in not fighting for what’s right than in giving it the best you’ve got and having a go. VCAT surprised us all.
Anyone else noticing the irony of all the 251s moaning about Oz Day, “invasion” & “whitie” in general? .. they all seem to be wearing “whitie” clothing and using “whitie” media to get their message across! and seeing they ain’t at work some “whitie” CentreLink cash will be helping out! .. not a loin cloth, cleft stick delivered whinge, boomerang or humpy back-drop to be seen!
To be honest if I’d been part of a “nation” routed, invaded and genocided by 200 redcoats wiv muskets and several hundred, starving, scarecrow convicts I’d be too ashamed be doing to much advertising ……!
How close to perfection is this pix? .. you’d, normall, have mor echanc eof winning Lotto .. LOL!
https://ibb.co/wzkPt8j
Thanks for the advice The Age and of all places ABC have covered similar so we have options there . Class action an option as well . I have written submissions to change the Act and have been asked to write to planning Minister to veto those in Cognitive decline voting. I have meeting with John Pesutto on Friday as I believe this is a State wide issue as many just not retirees have been sent bankrupt after cladding removed and having to pay for discovered .building problems . Exhausting for me Megan we are all over 80 here and me plus and most has fallen onto my shoulders too many in Cognitive decline. My doctor who was in house dr here told me yesterday, more than 60% here in Cognitive decline. . I have 58,000 words of book written on hold at moment as last week family and friends said I was looking terrible and rest. Spent days flat on my sofa
. I think building faults stem from time building inspector no longer employed by councils but sub contracted if they don’t look after builders’ interest they won’t get the work.
Whoops! .. my self spell checking is getting worse …..!

The Debt Ceiling Hits Pi – $31.4 Trillion
From Armstrong Economics –
“The debt ceiling has currently hit $31.4 trillion (Pi), representing borrowing that the Treasury undertakes to fund its financial obligations, ranging from safety-net benefits such as Social Security. Is this coincidence, or is the magic number where the government starts to lose control? As Socrates has been forecasting, this is the end of the road for our Republican forms of government. They are irresponsible, show no form of fiscal management, and exploit every possible means to sustain their power. The problem has been that they never see the end of the road. They think they can keep borrowing year after year and the public will keep buying.
The real crisis is the amount of new debt that the government needs to issue, is exceeding the balance sheet of the Primary Dealers. If they must buy the debt to retain their status, then if they cannot sell the debt, that is when you are looking at a major banking crisis. It is actually cheaper at this point to simply print the money and stop this fool’s game of pretending to be running the system responsibly.
It is time to turn out the lights on the stupid game of running endless deficits and borrowing when there is NEVER any intention to ever pay off the debt. Let’s stop the nonsense for this cannot continue indefinitely.”

“Is blojob even the full quid?”
Blowjob is an opportunistic lying clown. That’s not to say he lacks talents, he doesn’t, but as Nigel Farage says, Blowjob wouldn’t recognise the truth if it knocked him in the face. Blowjob has been in Ukraine over the last few days, visiting another clown, because he’s an attention whore who likes the limelight and he still thinks he has a political future. The truth is he doesn’t. Blowjob had his opportunity, he won an election in December 2019 in a landslide, winning the working class red wall, and then what? He squandered it bigtime, signing up to net zero, lauding renewables. He dumped on middle and working class England, preferring to follow the environmental goose steps laid out by his then posh girlfriend, later wife, “Princess Carrie”, and her crony millionaire and billionaire buddies who are all making lotsa dosh from wind turbines (note, not solar farm, there aren’t many solar farms in the UK). But if those environmental goosesteps weren’t enough, along comes Covid and the summer of 2020.
Blowjob signed up to Covid restrictions and locked the UK down except that, like all elitist hypocrites, he didn’t and doesn’t practice what he preached. Whilst the UK was in lockdown, whilst the late Queen was grieving her husband of seventy-four years, Blowjob and his posh wife partied in Downing Street. Oh and let’s not forget the summer of 2020, when BLM riots erupted across England’s big cities, when UK police took the knee to neo-Marxist scum, when middle class scum vandalised statues of British heroes such as Churchill and Nelson, what did Blowjob and the Tories do and say? Nothing. You couldn’t make any of this this shit up, except we can, because such shit happened and happens. I should add though, that Keir Starmer, current UK Labour leader, a man who seems unwilling to acknowledge that only females have a cervix, also has been caught out partying during Covid, but the MSM are quite happy ignoring such breaches when it’s one of their own. If Blowjob had been more of a cultural warrior, more Churchillian, who had been willing to stand up for working and middle class England, his Covid lapses, his Covid breaches and his lies might have been forgiven, but why should anyone forgive a hypocrite who’s a coward? NO. The truth is that we don’t mind hypocrites if they’re brave. I suspect Churchill himself would have led a delegation down to Whitehall to face off against BLM scum defacing statues of Nelson. You can truthfully say it wasn’t the Covid virus that killed Blowjob’s political career, it was the Carrie virus and venal cowardice. As with Morrison gifting us Labor and Sleazy the word Slusher, Blowjob and the Tories’ incompetence and “Labour lite” policies, their abject refusal to fight the left’s culture wars on anything means that the Tories will gift the UK Keir Starmer and Labour. And as we’re seeing here, it’s not going to be pretty. At least Blowjob is entertaining, a dead rat floating in a London sewer has more personality than Keir Starmer.
I was once again reminded of Covid double standards and hypocrisy when Horse Face announced her resignation last week and her parting words were she wanted to be remembered for her “kindness”. My oh my, how I roared with laughter, Horse Face was the complete opposite of “kind”. She was probably the least “kind” leader on the planet during the Covid hysteria. She locked up New Zealanders, she led vaccine mandates, she talked about a two tier society, of the vaccinated and the unvaccinated, she refused to allow Kiwis to return home, even pregnant women. The truth is that Horse Face was a despicable, vicious, cruel, nasty and vindictive female and that truth should be her legacy but the progressive MSM, and da sisterhood, so utterly compromised, so biased and so eternally stupid, will canonise her…Saint Jacinda. But the plain truth is that whilst she was being cruel to ordinary New Zealanders, she and her government were allowing celebrities and millionaires to fly in and out and exemptions to her tyrannical government’s Covid restrictions were the norm for uber wealthy and well known people. Similar happened here in Oz.
I should end by saying something positive about Blowjob, unlike Horse Face in NZ, I don’t think Boris is a cruel person.
Perhaps you need to read it in the original Greek or use a subscriber key to have it make sense.
I reckon there’s a fair chance that towns like Alice will be declared ‘Dry’ for all occupants, after all it would be racist not to. So if they did how long would it take for Alice to have zero whites? Then what happens next?
Is blojob even the full quid?
Got a bad case of the Churchill’s.
Next he’ll be wanting command of an independent force in theatre.
This is very to the point.
The silence is VERY disturbing
