Not much out that way water and shade included. He’d be one pongy character. Not only that wonder how he is being resupplied? Around 80km to the site from Gregory Developmental rd and that road was still dirt the last time I went past it from the Elgin Downs end which Adani have turned into a veritable gravel highway. Locals out that way when I was working a contract were hoping the mine got up, extra work for the landholders around through earthworks, water carting etc and jobs for their kids. Don’t think they would give him much help and time.
Not only that wonder how he is being resupplied?

“PM joins Pride march across Sydney Harbour Bridge”
You know, a Liberal Party with any nous, and yes I know I’m dreaming, could make significant electoral headway with this latest stunt performed by Sleazy. The reason why Labor is in government isn’t because it won the electorates of Grayndler and Sydney, it’s because it won quite a few marginal electorates, seats such as Reid, Bennelong, Parramatta, Swan, Pearce and others, electorates full of working and middle class Australians, and most of these electorates have high populations of religious people, Muslims, Christians, Hindus, and Sikhs. Most of the people living in electorates represented by Charlton, Bowen, Husic and Rowland aren’t too enamoured of the Pride nonsense. With such ammunition, a Liberal Party that had its act together would already be picking candidates to run in these seats, and not leave it until a month before a federal election.
I also note that Sleazy hasn’t said anything about the ‘hate speech” on The Project. I can guarantee you he would have opened his big ugly trap if a “comedian” had said similar about Islam and it’s prophet. I also note that Sleazy hasn’t said anything about the Adelaide Festival’s invites to unapologetic Jew haters, yet I can guarantee you he’d have said something if the festival organisers had invited people who say ugly things about Muslims and Palestinians.
But we should not be surprised by any of this. What we are seeing here is the real Albanese. The whole election campaign by Albanese and Labor was one big fat lie. We here knew this but gullible Australians, so anxious to get rid of Scumbag, fell for Labor’s lies. Once elected, they haven’t wasted any time pursuing a hard left agenda.
BTW, I just ran into an old friend who is Labor, Labor, Labor, to the core. Sydney CBD streets are closed off so I muttered something about “Pride” and she said that she’s over it, but interestingly, she then said that “it’s all gone too far”. I said to her, indeed, and I then said that the backlash, when it comes, won’t be pretty.

I should also add that there’s a high level of narcissism and hubris emanating from Sleazy, someone needs to take him aside and warn him. This hubris will be his downfall. With absurdly high Newspolls (none of which I’ve believed), with a fawning MSM, particularly by the taxpayer funded ABC, and just like Ruddy was back in 2008 and 2009, Sleazy is in love with this own reflection, he’s swallowed the adulation, and he now believes he’s untouchable and infallible. I’m really going to enjoy watching him fall into the quicksand. Excessive narcissism and hubris destroys.
Tom, this happened for me too. It seemed as if my own links opened okay when I reviewed them, but would not open for others.

The Labor Caucus knew Elbow wasn’t a leader’s bottom. He was elected only after the party’s first choice Bill Shorten — also a dud — lost an election.
The leadership cupboard is bare in both major parties.
So the second-raters like the Slovenian hag are stepping up for Their Turn.
She’ll probably succeed in toppling Elbow because he’s not a leader’s bottom, even though the MSM has given him a year-long honeymoon out of tribal loyalty.
They often manage to outsmart themselves when they really start to believe their own propaganda.
Tom:
One of the first things Portillo fell for was the Stolen Generation myth as he chatted with a mixed-race central Australian Arrunte woman, who recited the Stolen Generation playbook lock, stock and barrel – minus the crucial fact that the missionaries separated children from their blackfella parents to protect them from alcoholism, domestic violence and family dysfunction.
Last night, I turned on the Aussie movie – The Sapphires. For those who’ve not seen it, it loosely tells the story of an all female Aboriginal singing group who travel to Vietnam during the war to perform their singing act for the soldiers. (According to wiki, the act ends up as a couple of singers because two of them do not support the war and won’t go).
The movie was made twenty-odd years ago and has Deborah Mailman and Jessica Mauboy in the cast. (According to wiki) relying mostly on fabrication to “fill out” the story, still, it would have been a very different yarn if made today, I would think. Even so, there is the standard sub-text both of casual racism and the more questionable “claims” of light-skinned children being rounded up and removed from their loving parents by the authorities, which is further “filled in” in explanations of why the troupe has some ongoing relationship “difficulties.”
If those defamatory “story fillers” are ignored, however, what the story ends up depicting is that family care and control of young people (by all races) leads to functioning, contributing adults.
At the end of the film, photos of the actual singers are shown, both in their youth at the time the story is set, and later, at the time the movie was shot. In both sets of photos these four women are all shown to be normal looking. When I say “normal looking,” I mean they look like any other Australian female who has received an education, worked, created relationships and families, and has gotten on with life, without indulging in statements and actions of victimhood or been involved in “blak power salutes” of any kind.
(As to the depiction of the “light-skinned” girl who was “taken away.” She is shown returning to visit her family while wearing her full school uniform, including school hat. Later, and before the group is properly formed, we see her living in Melbourne and working at a hospital while selling Tupperware at night.)
Faustus, Powerlineblog.com makes NO such restriction.
I can define and lift tiles out of WIP and reproduce them to my heart’s content into any browser I choose, like Brave and MS Edge, which I have done with no problem.

Her ability to pick out small/unusual characteristics – like the effect of age on the knees – and make that central to the storyline to pick up the discrepancy.
In After the Funeral, Christie uses as a central clue the difference between how we look to someone else and how we look to ourselves in a mirror – the fact that we never see our own faces as they really look because the mirror reverses the image.
It’s that tiny awareness. The things that are inconsequential in real life but which she can draw from because she has such naturally keen observation skills, and which become hugely important elements to her story lines.

***2012***
A farmer buys several pigs, hoping to breed them for ham, bacon, etc…. after several weeks, he notices that none of the pigs are getting pregnant and calls a vet for help.
The vet tells the farmer that he should try artificial insemination. The farmer doesn’t have the slightest idea what this means but, not wanting to display his ignorance, he only asks the vet how he will know when the pigs are pregnant. The vet tells him that they will stop standing around and will instead, lay down & wallow in the mud when they are pregnant. The farmer hangs up & gives this some thought. He comes to the conclusion that artificial insemination means that he has to impregnate the pigs.
So, he loads the pigs into his truck, drives them out into the woods, has sex with them all, brings them back & goes to bed. Next morning, he wakes & looks out at the pigs. Seeing that they are all still standing around, he concludes that the first try didn’t take, and loads them in the truck again. He drives them out to the woods, bangs each pig twice for good measure, brings them back and goes to bed. Next morning, he wakes to find the pigs still just standing around. One more try, he tells himself, and proceeds to load them up & drives them out to the woods. He spends all day shagging the pigs and, upon returning home, falls listlessly into bed.
The next morning, he cannot even raise himself from the bed to look at the pigs. He asks his wife to look out and tell him if the pigs are laying in the mud.
‘No,’ she says, ‘they’re all in the truck and one of them is honking the horn.

A tourist in Vienna is going through a graveyard and all of a sudden he hears some music. No one is around, so he starts searching for the source.
He finally locates the origin and finds it is coming from a grave with a headstone that reads: Ludwig van Beethoven, 1770-1827. Then he realises that the music is the Ninth Symphony and it is being played backward! Puzzled, he leaves the graveyard and persuades a friend to return with him.
By the time they arrive back at the grave, the music has changed. This time it is the Seventh Symphony, but like the previous piece, it is being played backward.
Curious, the men agree to consult a music scholar. When they return with the expert, the Fifth Symphony is playing, again backward. The expert notices that the symphonies are being played in the reverse order in which they were composed, the 9th, then the 7th, then the 5th.
By the next day the word has spread and a throng has gathered around the grave. They are all listening to the Second Symphony being played backward.
Just then the graveyard’s caretaker ambles up to the group. Someone in the crowd asks him if he has an explanation for the music.
“Oh, it’s nothing to worry about” says the caretaker. “He’s just decomposing!”
Even if you grant them little active public support, how has that harmed them up to now? What matters is their elite support. They have the support of the governing class, the business class, the intellectual class and the entertainment class. The incentives now run all their way.

The Mystery of the ‘Agatha Christie Indult’
Why did the best-selling author sign the petition to retain the traditional Mass 50 years ago?
Indolent,
I was flicking through FTA last night and came across a program on sexuality. The screen was filled with a listing of 20+ genders! A recent study surprised the bods because of the number of people they found with XXY or XYY chromosomal arrangements(but still very low numbers), so I don’t accept “there are only 2 genders”. There are other variables that can alter gender identification, including genetic and in utero variables.
Biological variances beyond a certain point are not associated with being in the normal range, have disability or impairment, and we seek to help those individuals cope with their idiosyncratic developmental outcomes. There isn’t a Schizophrenic Pride March and schizophrenics are the first to acknowledge that they are not normal and have a disability. Idiosyncratic gender identification is an extraordinary exception in how we think about people with a different developmental pattern. They have extraordinarily high rates of psychopathology and suicide. I often wonder if the activists and talking heads of that group are very insecure and\or narcissists. I suspect the greater majority of the alphabet people acknowledge that they are not normal, that they have been dealt an unlucky hand, and make the most of the circumstances without making so much public noise. Like so many developmental outcomes we can’t fix these people, we can’t medicate them or turn them into heterosexuals, but it is ludicrous to think that all those genders are normal human behavior.

Using the female desire to wear the new when meeting a beau, which is inconsequential to a male, (and the addition of nail clippings – why cut off one’s beautifully manicured nails?) points to the crime. It’s deliciously simple yet psychologically grounded.

(As an aside, that reference in the article about her autobiographical first marriage reflections, demonstrates both her eloquence and her crisp writing style – as well as what used to be valued by what was once unambiguously a practically minded and straight forward culture-: “So, after illness, came sorrow, despair and heartbreak. There is no need to dwell on it.”)
JB is game posing in that jacket. Must have had a small procedure to tidy up…
I think a lot of her own emotional life and disappointment crept into her stories too. Unavoidable really. Mainly in her short stories.
While Poirot did not “approve of murder”, Christie had the same view of suicide. Perhaps because she was tempted herself when in the pits of despair. It comes out in many tales, in many guises.
My favourite in this genre is “The Man from the Sea”.

Lol. Sam Neil telling all and sundry that he’s marched across the Harbour Bridge with the homosexuals because he wants to end “homophobia”.
Sam. The Bridge was shut so halfwits like you could march. If homophobia was a problem, you wouldn’t have taken a single step.
Some celebrities will attend the opening of an envelope. You are one of them.
Yes calli.
These marches should be taken over to the streets of Riyadh. You know, for gay rights.

I don’t know what it is about Hollywood, but it corrodes the souls of the people who work there until they get save the world syndrome. I’m sad that Sam Neil has caught the same disease.
Just think about it for a minute.
The Harbour Bridge was closed to all of Sydney for a march.
Yet the marchers are still the victims.

Of course. The harbour bridge is an icon which will attract international attention.
Which hangs on to its icons. This happened to the name of Botany Bay, the name by which Australia was known for at least a Century. We stayed at a renovated old hotel on Britain’s south coast called just that – The Botany Bay Hotel, named because it’s where local smugglers were found and then sent.
Probably the last remaining nomenclature of that past time.
I’ve just finished the chapter in ‘Lying for the Admiralty’ where Cook’s putative bush walks along old native and animal tracks from Botany Bay are discussed. I’m feeling personally involved as I look out over the harbour and read of his climbing Bellevue Hill, strolling over to near Syd Uni and then across to Pyrmont and onto what Phillip was to call Sydney Cove, continually counting the useful islands for grazing and a penitentiary settlement as well as being defensible against the French poking around there too. And all the time, Cook kept stum about this, stalling spies in his crew, putting all emphasis on the name of Botany Bay in anything he wrote and obfuscating greatly about his time there.
After finding out about Sydney’s great harbour he’d found his prize for the Admiralty, and didn’t bother checking out other ports on his way up the temperate coast (a fact which was rather inexplicable before Margaret Cameron-Ash’s sleuthing). Botany Bay was the song that was sung for so long. Cameron-Ash awards it the title of the world’s greatest decoy operation, rivaling the Trojan Horse. Nowadays, The Coathanger and The Opera House define Sydney Harbour to the world. With Albo leading Sydney’s Pride.
Botany Bay has retreated to being an afterthought.
Please may I have another jar, miss.
The recoil knocked the other one clean out of my hand.
On any normal planet, no one would give a rodent’s about them or their worthless opinions.
Leak should render Albo in a gimp suit, holding the studded leather face mask in one hand.
It’d work rather well.

I wonder if those killed building the Harbour Bridge as well as those like Cook, who started it all, or those who died for one of the flags on it would be happy about how Sydney’s iconic harbour and its famous bridge is being used today to present Australia to the world.

It grows well in NZ near Rotorua. Better and faster than in California. They have a section of a California tree and a NZ tree and the growth per year is spectacular for the NZ tree.
I put two small paw paw trees in the front yard in mid December before I left. They came up to just below my hip.
I found, on my return on Thursday, that both are over eight feet high.
taken to permanently deprive…
Great folksong there, P, quite the Irish toon, as so many were. And yet, in spite of some of the worst of it, as probably overplayed in Robert Hughes’ ‘The Fatal Shore’, some people actually stole deliberately in order to get transported for shorter terms, ending up with land and a better life than in industrial urban slums.
This country’s history is so well worth telling in all of its aspects.
Instead our children are fed Bruce Pascoe nonsense and only the aboriginal tale, sanitised.
The pioneering stuff that I learned so well in primary school, part of general knowledge in high school, just doesn’t get a look in these days in the media and its concerns, nor in educational curricula.
‘Lying for the Admiralty’ is a gripping and well told tale, suitable for senior high school for sure.
Yes, it is compromising some of our harbour view, but as we know, every leaf is sacred.

It’s shameful. So they had the CBD shut down for them last weekend and this weekend it’s the Harbour Bridge. It’s the equivalent of the trashing of US Military Traditions with a transvestite admiral or what ever it purports to be. It’s marxism. Has a more evil man ever lived?

So many trees from other parts of the world do very well in Australia’s climate and soil.
If only the CSIRO could look at pros and cons of different sorts of reafforestation we would benefit.
Tasmania has an excellent cold climate for plenty of European trees and yet thousands of acres are covered in impenetrable scrub forest, legacy of aboriginal burning practices. Raze it, and start again.
Rinse and repeat elsewhere in this land, produce new microclimates once the plentiful water in temperate river systems is harvested as it should be.
Australia’s lack of arboreal diversity is really boring for tourists. Greater diversity could produce many economic benefits in both wood and tourism. Classic vistas could also be restored by selective felling of gums if the sacredness of our bequeathed ecology was questioned and pastures restored and dotted with European oak, ash and other trees..

We left Sydney this morning to prepare for the projected bad fire conditions on the other side of the Great Divide. We left behind the beginnings of absolute road chaos created by the indulgent march of the Rainbow/Alphabet people over the Harbour Bridge this morning. God helps – this is crazy stuff.
Arrived at our departure from the highway to our valley & stopped to browse the monthly market at the little town at the crossroads. Normal people offering modest goods and creations on a very warm day. Bought some excellent whisky from a local distiller who has recently won international competition. Cost a bomb – but we know that he suffered mightily from the Covid lockdowns. In fact he recently posted on local Facebook site that he is still suffering PTSD from the experience of almost losing a business he had put so much into.
Point of all this – the city’s are suffering from the cesspools that are forming in their midst. Many think that they will be dissipated by the norms of the community. Good luck with that.
