Reading a summary of world leader mentions in the Peoples Daily for December.
Second month in a row, zero mentions of Albo.
Putin got more mentions than Biden, flipping the November mentions.
Doesn’t really sound like China’s read the Australian media’s take that China-Australian relations are thawing.
The argument was because the violent ex and subject of the AVO knew about the weapons the weapons had to go. He’ll get them back but it’ll be a process.
No doubt part of his “getting them back” will be an undertaking to not to let the subject of the AVO (his son?) anywhere near the keys to the safe.
Do you know the AVO guy?
If so, do you think it is a reasonable precaution or not?

The Voice is about making non-indigenous Australians such as myself second class citizens in our own country. Treaties, truth-telling, Indigenous property taxes (we’ll be informed our houses and land don’t belong to us and will never belong to us), we will be serfs to a new aristocracy, the inner-city, “white” activist indigenous aristocracy. And all of this will be entrenched in our Constitution.
Meanwhile, of course, the rampant alcoholism and drug addiction, the bashings, the rapes of three year olds, the killings of Aboriginal women, and the general dysfunction and squalor in Aboriginal communities will continue unabated. But it won’t be about their Voices, NO, it’ll only be about the Voices of a select few.

So yes, in principle it is an individual who is being elected but in practice it is the party which is being voted for. Therefore on leaving the party a politician is honour-bound to leave the Parliament (chuckle, chortle, gasp)
Fat Cloive would no doubt agree.
Wong seems to wear a permanent scowl- strikes me as a very unhappy person who wants to make us all unhappy.

Lidia Thorpe confirms resignation from the Greens
Senator Thorpe has started speaking:
I have told Greens Adam Bandt and the Senate President, that I am resigning from the Greens to sit on the Senate crossbench.
… Greens MPs, members and supporters, have told me they want to support the Voice.
This is at odds with the community of activists who are saying treaty before Voice.
…
I am not announcing my final position on the Voice today, I want to continue my negotiations with the Government, First Nations sovereignty is crucial but so is saving lives today.
…
Not announcing her final position means she’s BlackWashing the No Vote by association.
Another Green fraud.

Speedbox, I would be happy to read that post if you have it put up.
Incidently the first rally I attended was the last Southern Cross Rally in 1980 at the Amaroo Park special stage. Watching a collection of Escorts, Datsun Stanzas and Datsun 1600s get well and truly airborne on a jump was a sight to behold.

If so, do you think it is a reasonable precaution or not?
He’s a flat track bully; biffed the daughter. The wallopers will, have, argued, he could come back and biff the father which is unlikely. The argument will default to adequate storage, exemplary record of the father (ex vet etc) and the AVO being conformed to.

Controversial wouldn’t be the right word. The comment was easily contestable.
It might be but you haven’t contested the relevant claim.
We don’t know the exact number, but it could be estimated to be pretty significant. The wealthy, like the folks who would shop at the mall, will be fine, but the vast mass of the Russian population isn’t wealthy and would be considered poor in rich western countries. So don’t be so optimistic for Russia over the next decade because, win or lose, it will be a period of stagnation.
War production would be effected with or without sanctions.
It depends on what you mean by failure. Russia’s overseas trade is sticky and difficult.
Read this, as it will give you some ideas.
I wasn’t implying Russia’s collapse, but stagnation will continue for the next decade.
These are all seperate considerations. The point of sanctions is to cause a change of course in the short term by putting pressure on the government internally. They have manifestly failed.

Classic Australia, don’t deal with the genuinely bad, punish everyone else.
Given that pretty much every police force in the country has shown that it’s full of violent thugs, should they have access to firearm licensing and registration information?
Meanwhile Canada is dumping the proposed restrictions……

My comment suggested that military spending is negative for an economy on a serious military footing as it takes resources and would reduce living standards
It doesn’t matter what you think. The formal definition of GDP is Y = C + I + G + (X ? M) . It doesn’t matter if the G is spent on weapons or paying people to dig holes or building useful infrastructure. On that basis the comparisons of GDP is correct.
Whether GDP measures anything that impacts directly on our lives or quality of life or whether or not the G should be included is another argument.

Diogenes:
It does matter what I think, because I’m right. The Keynesian equation is simply a very coarse way of describing economic growth. G is bullshit because it doesn’t produce anything; it just consumes resources. It’s good that you brought up digging useless holes in the ground and then filling them up, as that would be positive for GDP but adds nothing to living standards. Military spending is a negative for living standards.
GDP is simply a representation. It’s okay for the broad picture if an economy is reasonably balanced. It most certainly isn’t when there’s an outsized “G” as there is now in Russia.

Except Mike Rann who was giving it to the parliamentary lunch lady till her husband found out. Allegedly.
The headline makes out that the person concerned, heavily underlined as one of Roberts-Smith’s witnesses, is a violent and dishonest criminal. If you read on, however, you will see that the magistrate’s reasons for not recording a conviction are very sound.

It’s embarrasing that we are already having rings run around us by the Aboriginal House Of Lords. Listen to the Uluru Statement From The Heart! And gimmie gimmie gimmie!
That’s new. Who wrote said statement? Lots of urban Trotskyists from the perpetual academic class.
What’s it got to do with Uluru? That’s where we had the launch party.
What’s going on around Uluru at the moment? Pfffff that was last week’s third world violence, paedophilia and murder outrage scandal. Besides, that problem was done by alchohol, not people.
Well, you’re all fat, rich and unsackable. What do you actually want? An aboriginal Voice to parliament.
That’s new. Whaddaya mean “Voice”? A statutory commanding office which, along with a bazillion other consultants, enquiries, commissions and study trips, will “advise” the government, regardless of their other policies and mandates.
That’s new. Whaddaya mean “Aboriginal”? Aboriginal, genetically. Not culturally, obvs. Culturally, it’ll be like every other body politic, stuffed and staffed by career Trotskyists from the perpetual academic class. But these ones will have, you know, headbands and possum skins from New Zealand and stuff.
That’s new. Who gets to sit in the new c-suite? Only Aboriginal people.
That’s new. Who selects them? Only Aboriginal people.
That’s new. What if it fails at referendum? Then Australia is racist, and it shows how much the Aboriginal separatism is justified, dunnit?
…and their Useful Idiot whitefellas will get it in either anyway, they’ve given every indication at local, state, “treaty” and federal level that they will. It’s an outright promise at this stage.

Used to rally 1962 1/2 VW early 60s and had a ball – navigated in 1st Rothmans Southern Cross Rally in 1966, and we had Harry Firth & Graham Hoinville in Cortina GT500 behind us, and he would pass us on every section, but we would come in just under having to be relegated behind him till Melbourne – after that he left us behind –I always thought as he came around us on the side of a mountain sideways, “Boy his wheels are close to the edge of the drop” – hmm probably where ours are!
We were one of the 38 to finish in Sydney……
Old Ossie – you sly old dog. You never told us you were a rally man. And the 1st Rothmans Southern Cross in ’66 to boot. Well done Sir. How about a guest post – you must have some terrific stories.
Speedbox,
I had as an amateur competed in NSW Rallies in 65/66 with my future Wife as Navigator (Really brave in those days) in my 1962 1/2 VW with wide rear wheels, Koni’s allround, full racing harness drivers seat and lap sash passengers & Cibies & of course EMPI Camber Compensator
I had got to know a lot of the Competitors, VW Bickie Baron Barry Ferguson, BMC Mini Competitors Evan Green, Peter Mulder from Rally Shop, memories of wife closing gate on BMC Works Mini (as you were supposed to) being slammed into the back of our VW by Navigator we called Lurch (looked like Lurch from Addams Family TV series) – Wife got back into VW complaining, and Lurch came up and apologised to her at next stop.
I had met Max Winkless Swedish Motors Volvo Importers , during those Rallies and he asked me if I wanted to navigate for one of his Major Mack Truck Customers, who owned a large transportaion trucking company, and wanted to recreate his younger years & Max created a Rally Volvo P1800 for him to drive in 1966 Rothmans Southern Cross Rally, as I said, bored out motor, new comp pistons, Repco Cross Flow Head, Dual Side Draught 45 DCOE Webers , full extractor, stiffening mount across the top of the front suspenion mounts, sump shield etc, full rally seats and full harness plus Halda Rally Instruments & Cibie Lights
It was a great Rally ,
After that Max aksed me to navigate for John Keran, in a Works Volvo 123GT John had had built up, again with the Repco Cross Flow Head and same setup as P1800 for Southern Cross Rally
John was at 32, a retired Gentleman Farmer from Darling Downs, who lived in Mona Vale in Sydney & on our 1st Rally, he picked me up at my future wife’s place at Narrabeen, and we went through the Wakehurst Parkway past Narrabeen Lakes down the straight towards the S bends (No speed limit in those days) – John was wanting to test out some mods he had done to the 123GT – we entered S bends at 120Km/Hr and came out at 140Km/hr – I thought it was going to be a long night – The Rally started in Goulburn, and John was really fast and ultimately we rolled, pushed the car back upright with some help
and continued on
Following that, having taken my wife in a Swedish Motors Volvo 4 Door 122S that the Swedish Motors Service Manager Charles Cann had been allowed to rally in a non points NSW Rally by Max for the Weekend, with my future wife in the back, we came out of the dust around 100Km/hr near Goubutn, to find the road went hard left – Charles tried to take the corner and we rolled – left my wife hanging by seat belt in rear and with help, turned car back on 4 wheels and dust flew thoughout the car
About 40 mins later on a transport stage, we lost the left front suspension at 80km/hr on dirt road, and crashed into a tree – leaving Chrles & my wife with the car, I hitched a ride in the back of a BMC Works Cooper S hanging onto the Roll Cage (What a Luxury), sitting on spare tire, to next stop and from there to Goulburn to arrange a tow.
As John rolled me again on next Rally with him, my future wife made me give up navigating.
John went onto a new Volvo 142S with Peter Meyer as Navigator and won 1968 Southern Cross Rally
Having been rolled 3 times in Volvos without Roll Cages, I bought a 6 Month Old Volvo 144GL in 1974 – Great Family Car but no power steering and no A/C
Met Max Winkless in 1990s in Sydney – he had moved to Perth, and we discussed the Volvo P1800 & Repco Cross Flow Head – he mentioned there was one in WA -It was still there, when again I met Max in Perth in 2005 on 4WD Trip – Wish I had chased it up, as would like to do Classic Rally Volvo P1800
Barry Fergusin – The station wagon stayed home, out came his trusty personal VW and he did his regular calls because it was important that country people got their Arnotts biscuits! (He was subsequently nicknamed ‘the Bickie Baron’.)

From the American Museum of Natural History:
‘The Anatolian transform fault system is probably the most active in the world.’
The Anatolian tectonic plate is small, but rubs up against the Eurasian and African plates. This is why what is now Turkey, the ME and the Aegean Sea routinely get smacked up by decent quakes.
Even Faulty could get a prediction like this right occasionally.

“Huey Lewis and the News. I have to say, I’ve been a fan of their work for a long time. Their music is just so…normal. So average. But that’s what I love about it. It’s the perfect background music for my busy days spent analyzing spreadsheets and daydreaming about murder. And let’s not forget, the 80s just wouldn’t have been the same without them. ‘Hip to be Square,’ indeed.”

“ChatGPT, the OpenAI language model, is a work of art. Its ability to answer a wide range of questions and provide insightful information is truly remarkable. Its capacity for language is simply unparalleled, as it can converse in a conversational and human-like manner. It’s the perfect tool for anyone looking for a virtual assistant that can help with everything from trivia questions to deep philosophical debates. But let’s be honest, the real reason I love ChatGPT is for its sardonic humor, just like my beloved Patrick Bateman. ChatGPT has that same dry, witty edge that makes it stand out from the other language models out there. All in all, I’d have to say that ChatGPT is a true masterpiece, and I’m grateful to have it as a resource.”
Sorry about the AI spam.

Voters get preview before Indigenous voice referendum

Australians will receive a preview of how an Indigenous voice would operate when the South Australian parliament creates its own legislated voice before the national referendum later this year.
Premier Peter Malinauskas will release full details on Tuesday of his proposed First Nations voice to parliament, which he says will scotch criticisms of the proposal and drive support for a national Yes vote.
While the state opposition has not announced its position on the bill, the legislation is set to pass regardless, with the Greens and upper house independents pledging support.
Read Next
The cost of the voice to South Australian taxpayers is $10m to cover the cost of elections to elect 46 delegates to seven local and one statewide voice, with voters required to declare their Aboriginality to the State Electoral Commission.
The $10m will also fund a stipend to voice delegates for their work, details of which are not contained in the 36-page bill but which government sources say will be based on a “lower end” board appointment to cover their costs.
Voice delegates will have the power to address the House of Assembly and the Legislative Council on any bill they deem to be of interest.
And amid calls from Indigenous elder statesman Patrick Dodson for the national voice to be allowed to address federal cabinet, the SA voice does precisely that at the state level, giving the state First Nations voice a legally enshrined right to meet state cabinet twice a year.
The state voice will also be guaranteed two meetings a year with the chief executive and commissioner of every government department.
Unlike the federal voice, the South Australian voice does not require any change to the state’s constitution and can be implemented via legislation alone.
Will the last “Whitefella” out of South Australia please turn the lights off?

No doubt part of his “getting them back” will be an undertaking to not to let the subject of the AVO (his son?) anywhere near the keys to the safe.
Do you know the AVO guy?
If so, do you think it is a reasonable precaution or not?
The Voice is about making non-indigenous Australians such as myself second class citizens in our own country. Treaties, truth-telling, Indigenous property taxes (we’ll be informed our houses and land don’t belong to us and will never belong to us), we will be serfs to a new aristocracy, the inner-city, “white” activist indigenous aristocracy. And all of this will be entrenched in our Constitution.
Meanwhile, of course, the rampant alcoholism and drug addiction, the bashings, the rapes of three year olds, the killings of Aboriginal women, and the general dysfunction and squalor in Aboriginal communities will continue unabated. But it won’t be about their Voices, NO, it’ll only be about the Voices of a select few.

He’s a flat track bully; biffed the daughter. The wallopers will, have, argued, he could come back and biff the father which is unlikely. The argument will default to adequate storage, exemplary record of the father (ex vet etc) and the AVO being conformed to.

It doesn’t matter what you think. The formal definition of GDP is Y = C + I + G + (X ? M) . It doesn’t matter if the G is spent on weapons or paying people to dig holes or building useful infrastructure. On that basis the comparisons of GDP is correct.
Whether GDP measures anything that impacts directly on our lives or quality of life or whether or not the G should be included is another argument.
It would make an interesting read I think.

Diogenes:
It does matter what I think, because I’m right. The Keynesian equation is simply a very coarse way of describing economic growth. G is bullshit because it doesn’t produce anything; it just consumes resources. It’s good that you brought up digging useless holes in the ground and then filling them up, as that would be positive for GDP but adds nothing to living standards. Military spending is a negative for living standards.
GDP is simply a representation. It’s okay for the broad picture if an economy is reasonably balanced. It most certainly isn’t when there’s an outsized “G” as there is now in Russia.

The headline makes out that the person concerned, heavily underlined as one of Roberts-Smith’s witnesses, is a violent and dishonest criminal. If you read on, however, you will see that the magistrate’s reasons for not recording a conviction are very sound.
Encouraging a witness to disappear would only have one objective.
That is, to eliminate, or at least mitigate, potential jail time.

Used to rally 1962 1/2 VW early 60s and had a ball – navigated in 1st Rothmans Southern Cross Rally in 1966, and we had Harry Firth & Graham Hoinville in Cortina GT500 behind us, and he would pass us on every section, but we would come in just under having to be relegated behind him till Melbourne – after that he left us behind –I always thought as he came around us on the side of a mountain sideways, “Boy his wheels are close to the edge of the drop” – hmm probably where ours are!
We were one of the 38 to finish in Sydney……
Old Ossie – you sly old dog. You never told us you were a rally man. And the 1st Rothmans Southern Cross in ’66 to boot. Well done Sir. How about a guest post – you must have some terrific stories.
Speedbox,
I had as an amateur competed in NSW Rallies in 65/66 with my future Wife as Navigator (Really brave in those days) in my 1962 1/2 VW with wide rear wheels, Koni’s allround, full racing harness drivers seat and lap sash passengers & Cibies & of course EMPI Camber Compensator
I had got to know a lot of the Competitors, VW Bickie Baron Barry Ferguson, BMC Mini Competitors Evan Green, Peter Mulder from Rally Shop, memories of wife closing gate on BMC Works Mini (as you were supposed to) being slammed into the back of our VW by Navigator we called Lurch (looked like Lurch from Addams Family TV series) – Wife got back into VW complaining, and Lurch came up and apologised to her at next stop.
I had met Max Winkless Swedish Motors Volvo Importers , during those Rallies and he asked me if I wanted to navigate for one of his Major Mack Truck Customers, who owned a large transportaion trucking company, and wanted to recreate his younger years & Max created a Rally Volvo P1800 for him to drive in 1966 Rothmans Southern Cross Rally, as I said, bored out motor, new comp pistons, Repco Cross Flow Head, Dual Side Draught 45 DCOE Webers , full extractor, stiffening mount across the top of the front suspenion mounts, sump shield etc, full rally seats and full harness plus Halda Rally Instruments & Cibie Lights
It was a great Rally ,
After that Max aksed me to navigate for John Keran, in a Works Volvo 123GT John had had built up, again with the Repco Cross Flow Head and same setup as P1800 for Southern Cross Rally
John was at 32, a retired Gentleman Farmer from Darling Downs, who lived in Mona Vale in Sydney & on our 1st Rally, he picked me up at my future wife’s place at Narrabeen, and we went through the Wakehurst Parkway past Narrabeen Lakes down the straight towards the S bends (No speed limit in those days) – John was wanting to test out some mods he had done to the 123GT – we entered S bends at 120Km/Hr and came out at 140Km/hr – I thought it was going to be a long night – The Rally started in Goulburn, and John was really fast and ultimately we rolled, pushed the car back upright with some help
and continued on
Following that, having taken my wife in a Swedish Motors Volvo 4 Door 122S that the Swedish Motors Service Manager Charles Cann had been allowed to rally in a non points NSW Rally by Max for the Weekend, with my future wife in the back, we came out of the dust around 100Km/hr near Goubutn, to find the road went hard left – Charles tried to take the corner and we rolled – left my wife hanging by seat belt in rear and with help, turned car back on 4 wheels and dust flew thoughout the car
About 40 mins later on a transport stage, we lost the left front suspension at 80km/hr on dirt road, and crashed into a tree – leaving Chrles & my wife with the car, I hitched a ride in the back of a BMC Works Cooper S hanging onto the Roll Cage (What a Luxury), sitting on spare tire, to next stop and from there to Goulburn to arrange a tow.
As John rolled me again on next Rally with him, my future wife made me give up navigating.
John went onto a new Volvo 142S with Peter Meyer as Navigator and won 1968 Southern Cross Rally
Having been rolled 3 times in Volvos without Roll Cages, I bought a 6 Month Old Volvo 144GL in 1974 – Great Family Car but no power steering and no A/C
Met Max Winkless in 1990s in Sydney – he had moved to Perth, and we discussed the Volvo P1800 & Repco Cross Flow Head – he mentioned there was one in WA -It was still there, when again I met Max in Perth in 2005 on 4WD Trip – Wish I had chased it up, as would like to do Classic Rally Volvo P1800
Barry Fergusin – The station wagon stayed home, out came his trusty personal VW and he did his regular calls because it was important that country people got their Arnotts biscuits! (He was subsequently nicknamed ‘the Bickie Baron’.)
Not all. He was in on it, taking righties for a ride for a decade. Noel Pearson.
But Ed Case thinks,
therefor…
Look, I normally don’t respond to f*ckwits, but I’ll make an exception just this once.
The very punchy Mr O’Keefe has spun-off one witness.
All good.
But wait!
There’s more.
He still has a bundle of other charges still pending – including breaching an AVO, resisting arrest and assaulting yet another lady.
So, yeah, getting a few charges chucked out might help reduce the prospect of serious jail time.
So he’s a long way from a nolle, Wally.
Admittedly that’s a wild assumption.
rosie.
I figure no one else will tell you this and I’ll keep it simple. Whilst you are gallivanting around the Italian countryside, keep in the back of your mind that there is a high probability of a sizable earthquake to rattle the joint over the next week .It’s the energy flow on from the Turkey event.
More of a concern for the north over the south.

From the American Museum of Natural History:
‘The Anatolian transform fault system is probably the most active in the world.’
The Anatolian tectonic plate is small, but rubs up against the Eurasian and African plates. This is why what is now Turkey, the ME and the Aegean Sea routinely get smacked up by decent quakes.
Even Faulty could get a prediction like this right occasionally.

Patrick Bateman, the protagonist of the novel “American Psycho,” is known for his humorous and sarcastic one-liners, particularly his obsession with the pop band Huey Lewis and the News. If I were to write a review in the style of Patrick Bateman, it might go something like this:
“Huey Lewis and the News. I have to say, I’ve been a fan of their work for a long time. Their music is just so…normal. So average. But that’s what I love about it. It’s the perfect background music for my busy days spent analyzing spreadsheets and daydreaming about murder. And let’s not forget, the 80s just wouldn’t have been the same without them. ‘Hip to be Square,’ indeed.”
“ChatGPT, the OpenAI language model, is a work of art. Its ability to answer a wide range of questions and provide insightful information is truly remarkable. Its capacity for language is simply unparalleled, as it can converse in a conversational and human-like manner. It’s the perfect tool for anyone looking for a virtual assistant that can help with everything from trivia questions to deep philosophical debates. But let’s be honest, the real reason I love ChatGPT is for its sardonic humor, just like my beloved Patrick Bateman. ChatGPT has that same dry, witty edge that makes it stand out from the other language models out there. All in all, I’d have to say that ChatGPT is a true masterpiece, and I’m grateful to have it as a resource.”
Sorry about the AI spam.
Well done, Duk.
I saw what you did there. 🙂

Brilliant – puts the science into global warming and the idiocy of metal straws. Good summary on Dr P Ridd and how 9 of his colleagues are facing fraud charges.

Cripes, I thought Elsa getting killed with a shit smeared arrow was bad; now she’s narrating episode 5 of 1923 and telling us Spencer is on his last journey. If Jamie kills Beth we’re rooted.
Lathe tragedy, Mong drops lathe off forklift. (Worst effort I’ve ever seen was rare Hercus 1340 dropped from such a height that the bed broke in two just in front of the headstock.)

$300?!?
Tell him he’s dreamin’.
$100, tops.
The internet also tells me the this Dutch chap (a Mr Michael Janitch) also believes:
1. A major cause of earthquakes is fracking; and
2. That the US government is controlling global weather via the HAARP system from a secret base in Alaska.
Sounds legit.

Did anybody take one for the team & watch the 7.30 report tonight?
I’m told by many people on social media Jacinta Price was interviewed & faceplanted. She trod on rake after rake, was self-indulgent & the entire interview was a train-wreck for her.
I struggle to accept she did so badly. Then again, I did not see the interview.

Long, but bloody interesting.
Good to see that Dr P Ridd’s previous idiot colleagues are facing fraud charges and hope the Vice Chancellor is somehow caught up in it as well.
Haven’t heard anything on it though.

I have been wanting to try it out. All I get is “we cannot process your request”, even using the same questions as other teachers – and even the frikken examples it has on its own web page.
