Breaking news from the Age : The PM and Dan Andrews have announced a new arms production facility will be built in Melbourne.
It will employ hundreds of highly skilled workers and lead the way in creating jobs in the defence manufacturing industry.
It will provide a much needed boost to our long range missile capabilities and will require the ADF to retrain members on the new weapons systems.
Under questioning by far right extremist journalist Rita Panahi the PM reluctantly revealed the production capacity will be : 3,000 very ornate boomerangs, 2,000 woomeras, 2,000 spears and 1,000 bow and arrows. The bow and arrows will be under licence from the Apache Arrow Company in New Mexico. Defence Minister Marles has negotiated for months on this top secret collaboration which will prove useful in the 40 year negotiations for the submarine programme. In fact the PM proudly pointed out that due to his personal efforts the cost of one years production will only be equal to the cost of buying a US nuclear submarine and it was better to have the jobs in Australia.
Senator Lidia Thorpe has condemned the facility and called it cultural appropriation. The Unions have also spoken out about the requirement for the diverse workforce to work 2 days per week as it will interfere with traditional walk abouts and wombat hunting.
Bill Shorten in whose electorate the facility will be built was not aware of the announcement but said he agreed with whatever was said in it.

Er, loss of culture is the very root of the problem: that culture being a nomadic hunter gatherer lifestyle with personal responsibility, reward for success (in hunting), punishment for failure (starvation), NO SIT DOWN MONEY/ALCOHOL (its the same thing), constant caloric restriction and diet centred on fresh meat not processed carbs and seed oils.
Culture, btw, is the ‘operating system’ of a population – its all the things they say and do and believe as part of everyday life. It evolves to suit the environment and has the same strong genetic traits as body form does. People who are successful in a given culture pass that culture on. This is why transplanting people from one culture/environment into a different one so often fails:
Exhibit A: Australian Aborigines – transplanted from hunter gatherer to technological environment in a handful of generations.
Exhibit B: Sudanese transplanted into Melbourne in a single generation.
Exhibit C: Somalis transplanted into Sweden or Minnesota in a single generation.
Exhibit D: Central African Blacks transplanted into the US 200 years ago.
etc etc etc
I would think AFP, ASD and ASIO would be the frontline TLAs there.

Then you have Hamilton 68:
A left-wing think tank erroneously claiming to track Russian online activity was responsible for thousands of bogus stories asserting the nation’s influence in US politics, according to the latest batch of Twitter Files.
The Hamilton 68 “dashboard” was the brainchild of former FBI special agent and MSNBC contributor Clint Watts and operated under the Alliance for Securing Democracy, a think tank founded in 2017 — shortly after former President Trump took office.
The ASD Advisory Council included such figures as top Clinton ally John Podesta, Obama-era acting CIA Director Michael Morell, former US Ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul, and former conservative activist Bill Kristol.
What a surprise such figures were involved.
This is the Twatter Files drop that m0nty=fa (and probably also the DNC/MSM complex) is studiously avoiding commenting on. It shows that a fair swag of the Wussia, Wussia, Wussia theme was, in a m0nty=fa word, a “nothingburger”.
At this point, I suspect that m0nty=fa would welcome a return to focus on Grunter’s nine-inch hog.

I used to rub shoulders with 20 or 30 coppers when I was a member of the Police Pistol Club* (they allowed a handful of ex Military members like me also). At the time they were heavily committed to COVID policing, and regarded their ‘deployments’ to the border closures and the rallies in the same way as my military colleagues used to regard their war deployments – rare career opportunities to ‘see some action’ and pocket a wad of overtime/special duties cash.
They think about it all right – they can’t wait for more.

A friend has just returned from attending a wedding in Seth Afrika. Some interesting observations:
1. Had to acclimatise to 8 hours of ‘load shedding’ each day. Previously known as blackouts.
2. Was advised not to go to an ATM to withdraw cash. Apparently these places attract people with guns.
3. Attended a restaurant where advised not to wear jewellery or watches or anything of value. If any jewellery please ensure it is cheap. Venue sees this as the way to reduce the number of armed holdups and inconvenience to customers.
I thought SA was on the way to milk and honey. No mention of this sh!tholification when St Mandela is mentioned.

Now icon of tidiness Marie Kondo, the woman who has spent years advising the messy majority on how to reduce their homes to the aesthetic of a monk’s cell, has her own confession to make.
I recall an AbFab episode where Edina invites over a couple she hasnt seen for a few years. Goes into panic to clean the house based on her previous experience with said couple – flashback see the couple living in a 1980s music video clip where everything is white and luminous…so bright no one knows where the dinner table and chair are – everything is calm and other worldly. Well the couple rocks up at Edinas house with a new baby in hand and their life has descended into a living hell having given up on all order, respect for each other and life in general. Tre funny.
So Marie Kondo we have seen your kind come and go over the years.

A recent doco I watched recounts how this went from original design concept to full build within months. It was intended to be a fighter, but in reality, though well armed and manoeuverable, was still a bit slow for the ‘boom and zoom’ tactics that were proving most successful. By then, however, supplies of OS aircraft (Kittyhawks, Spitfires etc had improved, and there were a lot of US flown AC in theatre, so it was then relegated largely to ground attack which it did well.

Fun fact 1 – the Boomerang used essentially the same centre section as the Wirraway.

It is time we recognize that some genetic makeups just can’t handle alcohol.
Is it a natural selection thing at work? Others have been exposed to alcohol for millennia.
I like the theory that we are descended from the proto apes who could handle the ethanol in fermenting fruit. Hence we are the descendants of drunken monkeys. Look around you.

Don’t be unkind Dot. A zero was shot down by one of them (over Buna, late 1942). Well, actually the pilot did the shooting.
The ‘alcohol from fermenting fruit’ hypothesis might hold in the tropics, but for most of the Australian Continent, Southern Africa and North America, fruit would have been a rare, seasonal treat, hence exposure to alcohol would have been irregular at best.
In contrast, caucasians (Eastern and Western Europeans, English etc) learned to make alcohol from grains, which could be stored year round. Indeed, they consumed it regularly, often in preference to the local water which was more likely to be infectious (look up ‘small beer’).
I don’t doubt the extreme vulnerability of our hunter gatherer bretheren to alcohol and sugar reflects them missing the genetic winnowing process which already culled those most vulnerable amongst the caucasian stock.

Snap re the Wirraway combat success.
Darwin locals have revealed the sad reason they’re avoiding certain shops in their city, with some small businesses being forced to shut as a result.
A video of a Territorian man having a violent outburst outside Darwin City Woolworths on Monday, captured the unfortunate reality supermarket workers and shoppers deal with regularly.
The man is seen smashing several large pot plants – used to adorn the shopping centre – onto the floor, as customers do their shopping.
A security guard then approaches the man and escorts him out of the small complex, stopping him from damaging another set of plants decorating the entrance.
While it’s unclear what triggered the outburst, locals commenting on the footage posted to Reddit said such behaviour in these usually family-friendly areas is an “everyday event”.
Consequently, some locals are resorting to shopping from home or avoiding the area altogether when it comes to buying their groceries.
“Casuarina, Hibiscus and (Darwin) City Woolworths is why my family uses online shopping but it’s sad to see all the shops dying,” one concerned user commented.
Meanwhile another user claiming to be one of the security guards who attended the scene said the man’s violent behaviour was “nothing compared to what we deal with at the buses”.
“This is an everyday event. We see this day to day and no one comes till (sic) it’s too late,” they said.
A third commentator said they feared behaviour like this was giving the indigenous community a bad name.
“People creating a narrative that all indigenous people are like this is untrue because a lot of us are not like this and it’s quite unfair the narrative would get pushed from this,” they commented.
A fourth said: “(it) p****s me off to see s**t like this happen. It’s no wonder why small businesses fail in Darwin.”
Northern Territory Police said it urges anyone who witnesses crime or anti-social behaviour to call the Police without sirens number on 131 444, triple-0 or to contact Crime Stoppers.
“Your emails have come to police attention”.
Geeze they’re good aren’t they? Meaningless yet vaguely threatening phrases that don’t commit them to anything, but designed to elicit information.

I don’t understand the whole nail salons industry
Likewise. Perhaps it’s like the pale complexion and unscathed hands in some cultures proving that one does no manual labour.
Likewise. My city friends wave their beautifully manicured hands around (laden with gems) and rattle on about the manicurists. The length of their talons confirms that they don’t “do” housework or gardening.
My gnarled old hands and rough nails testify to quite a different life, spent in my latter years mostly on the farm. But even after retiring years ago from paid work, I returned to doing my own housework in my city home. Cant see why it seems such a burden or disreputable to friends. But then, I am a bit of an “outlier”.
Top Ender:
Actually, the Boomerang – IMHO – was quite a reasonable looking machine. It appears well balanced and businesslike. Especially if it were to be set up in the ground support role.
Unfortunately photos of them in G/A role are as scarce as rocking horse shit, I just remember one I saw about twenty years ago…
A drawback of the Wirraway is that the motor is apt to conk out when inverted.
At altitude this may be managed. At low level it is lethal.
Great news for employers with more than 15 staff. From tomorrow, all your employees are “entitled” to 10 days domestic violence leave. From 1 August, all employers are caught.

The Anti-Human Humanitarians of Davos
Crisis Magazine by Mary Cuff – January 30, 2023
Welcome to 2030. I own nothing, have no privacy, and life has never been better.” Since 1971, the World Economic Forum, brainchild of Swiss-German billionaire Klaus Schwab, has gathered the richest elites from the four corners of the earth for an exclusive conference on the globe and its problems.
This annual, invitation-only meeting of the world’s richest and most powerful bills itself as an academic assembly of global do-gooders plagued by the vilest conspiracy theories. Or, as John Kerry enthused in his WEF speech of this year, it is a select, secretive assembly, almost “extraterrestrial,” in its insight and desire for the earth’s collective good. But the reality is that the World Economic Forum, with its impressive collection of CEOs ranging from Pfizer to Facebook to Black Rock, as well as senior representatives of all major heads of state, has become an anti-human, globalist shadow government. And its agenda is anti-Christian to the very core.

First went there, maybe eleven years ago? No pre booking, mid week in January and it was no problem. I don’t remember any restrictions on when you could enter the palace. Maybe because it wasn’t particularly busy.

Then it was small groups, sitting while being checked by sniffer dogs and generally tighter security.

Great news for employers with more than 15 staff. From tomorrow, all your employees are “entitled” to 10 days domestic violence leave. From 1 August, all employers are caught.
Hopefully there is mandatory reporting.
I think that laws are already in place in most states, requiring reporting of suspected DV cases to police.
I have difficulty imagining a woman carrying, giving birth and then giving away her child for money.
This is not female empowerment. This is poverty and temptation and wickedness.
We have a bizarre disconnect here – girls in the past forced to surrender their babies for adoption (and how the media loves to dramatise this) and today where the poor are paid incubators, mainly for pouves. You go girl!

Voice of hypocrites
The Spectator Australia
A hurried visit by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to Alice Springs this week highlights everything that is wrong with his grandiose proposal to enshrine an indigenous Voice to parliament in the constitution.
The election of Mr Albanese’s Labor government in May preceded the expiry, two months later, of alcohol bans in 32 town camps, 12 remote communities and 215 homelands and outstations in the Northern Territory (NT). The bans had been in place for 15 years, coming into force during the NT Emergency Response in 2007, and continued under Stronger Futures legislation in 2012.
Federal Labor could have extended the bans but didn’t because it sees them as ‘racist’ even though they are strongly supported by many indigenous people and are based on geographical location not race.
Their removal unleashed a horrific and utterly predictable crime wave in Alice Springs. Some 200 children roam the streets at night fleeing domestic violence and engaging in juvenile crime. Last year, the NT police launched Operation Drina to target anti-social behaviour and arrested more than 200 people issuing more than 300 infringement notices but the violence has become worse. It has been highlighted by Darren Clarke who is campaigning for Action For Alice. His bakery has been broken into 41 times in the past three years.
A report released in 2019 showed that even with the bans in place the NT had the the highest rates of alcohol consumption per capita in Australia, with correspondingly high rates of alcohol-fuelled violence and crime. It estimated the total social cost of alcohol in 2015-16 at more than $1.3 billion with the cost of alcohol-related crime calculated to be $142 million. It found alcohol responsible for up to 11 per cent of cases of child abuse and neglect and 50 per cent of road crash deaths.
In response to the violence, new Country Liberal senator for the Northern Territory Jacinta Nampijinpa Price and the new member for the federal seat of Lingiari, Marion Scrymgour, both of whom represent the Alice Springs area, called for restrictions to be re-imposed. Ms Price called for the return of the bans and Ms Scrymgour called for restrictions on some days. Both were completely ignored by Mr Albanese who took his lead instead from the NT Labor government’s Chief Minister Natasha Fyles.This underlines everything that is wrong with Mr Albanese’s plan. Instead of listening to democratically elected local women with first-hand knowledge of the problems and constructive suggestions for the solution, Mr Albanese listened to a Labor leader from the left faction who also ignored the advice of local indigenous women. Mr Albanese has been more interested in talking about the Voice to parliament than protecting Aboriginal men, women and children from the scourge of crime and violence. Neither he nor Ms Fyles want ‘race-based’ solutions to alcohol abuse but are backing a race-based Voice to parliament.
Ms Price criticised the Prime Minister for being quick to provide resources to the Ukraine while turning a blind eye to the violence in the territory. And Ms Scrymgour belled the cat when she said this week that ‘the Voice couldn’t be further from people’s view’ in Alice Springs because they were ‘under siege’. They were asking why they should support the Voice if they can’t even get police to protect them while they are sleeping in their own homes?
As proof that it is impossible for an indigenous Voice to speak for all Aboriginal people, indigenous leader Noel Pearson, one of the creators of the Voice proposal, attacked both Ms Price and Greens senator Lidia Thorpe for opposing it. In return, Ms Thorpe attacked Mr Pearson, posting a photo of him with News Corp chairman Rupert Murdoch and former Liberal prime minister Tony Abbott and tweeted, ‘Noel has me holding hands with Jacinta Price lol. Who’s holding your hand, Uncle?’
Ms Thorpe has reiterated the call for Australian property owners to pay a weekly ‘rent’ tax to indigenous groups who claim to own the land. Such proposals have been around for more than 50 years. Ms Thorpe does not say whether she has paid any rent to traditional owners. It seems unlikely.
Elsewhere, Tennis Australia refused to celebrate Australia Day at the Australian Open but happily celebrates a Gay Pride day. If Gay Pride is so important to Tennis Australia, perhaps it could explain why it is happy to accept sponsorship from Emirates which is owned by the government of Dubai, when Article 177 of the Penal Code of Dubai imposes imprisonment for up to ten years for consensual sodomy. Sadly, it seems, from Darwin to Dubai, fashionable leftists are more interested in trumpeting their virtues than alleviating the suffering of marginalised people.

We already do.
Don’t worry, surrogacy is becoming obsolete.
The artificial womb is coming whether we like it or not and the implications are earth shattering.
Neither male sperm or female eggs are required anymore either.
Prostitution is slavery.
That’s why it needs to be regulated.
One of the subthemes of The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress, by Heinlein. I don’t have a problem with surrogacy particularly, except it should be only allowed for conventional marriages between a man and a woman.
It’d be nice if the primary theme of that novel occurred: Elon builds a Moon colony and declares independence.
As to the other main subtheme, sorry but I am increasingly disliking artificial intelligences.

If rich countries don’t regulate surrogacy, the inhabitants of the rich countries will go to poorer countries to take advantage of the impoverished.
It’s just reducing the level of abuse that will occur.

Conservative Inc. And Kristol was on the board of the organisation that set up Hamilton 68.
If an employee takes time off due to domestic violence, isn’t it then incumbent upon the employer to report the DV to the police? And the police to investigate?
Surely we can tolerate nothing but zero-tolerance!
Yeah, the liars DV policy of leave is about as well thought out as biden.
Mandatory reporting will fall on the employer but good luck if the worker is rorting the system. Similar issues arise in the FL system where claims of DV have decreased because reporting became mandatory and evidence had to be supplied.
We can only hope, ML.

Domestic violence leave has to be applied for using the honour system. Has to be.
There are endless categories of DV, not just getting the rounds of the kitchen.
There’s ‘verbal abuse’, ‘economic violence’ (he wouldn’t give me cash for X), and ‘coercive behaviour’ which, in a Captain Obvious moment, could mean anything. Absolutely anything.
This will be a monumental, ill thought-out expensive rorted cock up of Biblical proportions, and which will make the NDIS look like a frugal well-regulated Fit for purpose triumph.

From a quick read of the thread, it seems there is a belief that “Domestic Violence Leave” will require some actual .. y’know.. domestic violence (eg, black eyes or somesuch)
Hahahaah… y’all should know our betters in the parasite caste by now.

IIRC Domestic Violent Leave can be taken if the employee is “feeling a bit of pressure or toxicity in their home life”

If she says she walked into a door, or a door slammed on her, then you should accept her claim.
If, however, an employee alleges a criminal act of domestic violence, then what choice have you? First you ask for a copy of the police report, to validate the claim. If there is no police report, but the claim for DV leave is pursued, then surely you must report this criminal act to the police, after telling the employee that, no police involvement, no leave. The claim might be withdrawn then, saving you the cost of the leave.
Don’t forget to keep full records.
Oh yea, they were trying to bend over the young guys working there.
You know, all the anti-Trumpers collectively were and are a freaking chamber of horrors. Every single one has a very disfigured personality.
KD has pretty much nailed it:
The fun implication with this one is that once one partner applies for DV leave it means plod can come in and arrest the other partner for DV.

And as soon as they return they are prosecuted and the child is repatriated.

As you once told us you applied for a license to operate a brothel, we’d like to hear your thoughts on how you would integrate domestic violence laws with hookers. How would you be able to discern if, say, a black eye or a fat lip was meted out by either the pimp or the john? How would you handle the reporting side of things? Not easy, right?

“I think we need to just call this out on the bulls–t is,” Twitter’s then-head of trust and safety Yoel Roth wrote in an October 2017 email. “Hamilton dashboard falsely accuses a bunch of legitimate right-leaning accounts of being Russian bots,” he added in January 2018.
This is why Fat Boy has gone silent on what he originally claimed was the “nothingburger” of the threads released by Twitter. The evidence has become so overwhelming that the DNC/MSM axis of evil seem unable to come up with even laughable talking points, much less arguable ones.
I suspect that they are trying to ignore the many releases (up to Number 15 so far), in the hope that they will not be noticed. However, some DemonRats not totally committed to the cause might start to ask questions, so they can’t ignore them forever.

Back from the Post Office.
Here is advice from my industry association:
Full-time, part-time and casual employees will soon be able to access 10 days of paid family and domestic violence leave (FDVL) in a 12-month period. Employees will be able to take this paid leave if they need to deal with the impact of family and domestic violence.
Employees who start on or after the date that the paid FDVL becomes available to them, they can access the full 10 days from their first day. The entitlement will renew every year on each employee’s work anniversary, but it will not accumulate from year to year if not used.
Payment for leave
Full-time and part-time employees can take paid FDVL at their full pay rate for the hours they would have worked if they weren’t on leave.
Casual employees will be paid at their full pay rate for the hours they were rostered to work in the period they took leave.
Full pay includes loadings penalty rates and monetary allowances.

About as well as you would imagine.
Is “Catholic gut” a try-hard homonym for “Catholic guilt?”
Totally agree. But if journalists or ‘influencers’ see fears of potential actions they can start repeating stories that create the motive for the perps.
The most famous example of this is Port Arthur. Have you seen the episode of ‘A Current Affair’ partnered up with Roland Browne and Samantha Lee, who taught us ‘We are going to have a massacre in Tasmania!’ in October 1995?
There’s an interesting article on Just & Unjust Laws at Epoch Times.
Worth your time reading in regard to vaccinations/masking.
DB, are you saying when the child born via surrogacy arrives in Australia that he/she will be sent back home overseas?
Hypothetically, of course.
Surrogacy is highly regulated in Australia, states only allow altruistic surrogacy, commercial surrogacy is banned and it’s a criminal offense in this country. Good. I’m even opposed to altruistic surrogacy but at least in this country it’s regulated. The USA is the wild west when it comes to surrogacy, just like it is with the whole transgender cult. This is why many gay men now head to the US to buy their toy babies, except that the babies aren’t toys, they’re real human babies and the women they use are almost always poor. I regard it as no different to prostitution, it preys on poor women.
I would also ban donor sperm, perhaps those who think otherwise should read Sarah Dingle’s book “Brave New Humans”. It isn’t a pretty story, and Dingle would know, she was 27 when she learnt that she had been conceived using a sperm donor.
IVF, sperm clinics and surrogacy, there’s lots of money involved, and none of it is altruistic.
I know some people might think my views as harsh and old-fashioned but I don’t believe it’s a right to have a child. We now live in a society obsessed about “rights”, but these rights are selfish rights, it’s all about me, me, me. Nothing about responsibilities or the child and so on.
As Sarah Dingle writes, it’s an innate human desire to know where you come from. It is also a fundamental right to know where you come from. This seems to be missing from the plethora of selfish rights that consume and define so much of the western world nowadays.
I don’t really agree with all his points but he’s generally pretty on the mark.

Trump is already getting 55% or so in primary polls, which probably means two thirds or even more, since Trump voters very often don’t answer pollsters. But the article is a nice insight into the mind of a RINO, since they can’t conceive that GOP elites are totally on the nose with the base and that those people will crawl over broken glass for the Donald, since he represents them.
Ultimately, of course, Trump, DeSantis, or any other Republican, can’t possibly win the 2024 election, because it will be stolen. Again.

Leaving the gay issue aside, I agree with you on that score. I have a great deal of empathy for childless couples and their incredibly strong desire to have kids. As you know, I’m in the camp that believes that if an adult doesn’t cause harm to others, they should be free to go about their business. I don’t really see the outward harm caused by surrogacy, where a childless couple gets a child in exchange for paying the surrogate mother to carry the baby.
Adoption? It’s not the same because of the genetic element to it that makes people want their own babies.
