Odd name for a hammer, but go on.

Chuckle.

Dot on a bad day.

Network ten also claims that Mr Lehrmann filed his claim more than a year after the publications complained of, and is outside the one year limitations period.

The only factual point in that whole melange of hearsay and conjecture.

It is undeniable now that ANTIFA is a terrorist organisation.

Time to go ham on them.

The mad bloke with the faces is hilarious

Wait and see Bear. If it falls over, they will be asked why they made such a defence.

They’ve got a massive problem: Linda Reynolds.

https://newcatallaxy.blog/2023/02/14/open-thread-tues-14-feb-2023/comment-page-8/#comment-460043

Reynolds also relayed in her formal police statement that during this meeting Higgins was “extremely apologetic”, described her actions as “unprofessional” and said to Reynolds that “she didn’t want to lose her job”.

I ask: Did Higgins tell Reynolds that she was raped that night?

“No,” says Reynolds, “there was never any allegation of rape.”

Did she say she was assaulted in some way?

“No,” says Reynolds.

Did Brown tell Reynolds that Higgins mentioned a rape or assault to her? “No,” says Reynolds.

Also, see here:

Judging from the conduct of Senator Katy Gallagher, the now Finance Minister, it’s not unreasonable to suspect she played a key role in that interference.

Lehrman’s lawyers played to the court an excerpt of a six-hour recording in 2021 involving staff at Channel 10’s The Project and Higgins’s partner, David Sharaz, during which Higgins was present.
In the audio, Sharaz is heard saying they wanted the story to break at the start of a sitting week and that he had a “friend” on the Labor side, Katy Gallagher, who would “probe and continue it going”.

“So, sitting week – story comes out, they have to answer questions in question time, it’s a mess for them,” he said.

These are shocking revelations and trying on such a claim (we can prove it happened) might see them get shitcanned. “We were acting on instructions” only goes so far.

My advice would be to make a settlement, move on from Infotainment and make some interesting lifestyle and reality shows and import the best new English and US comedies and animation.

You know, like when it used to be a (semi) profitable venture.

Britnee the knickerless cried uncontrollably for the rest of the weekend coz she got shitfaced and realised that she would get sacked on monday. Poor little thing said she didn’t know what happened in the first place. How does one person saying they didn’t know what happened and the only other person concerned said nothing happened prove she was graped? Never should have got to court.

Finally!

The Oz has a good editorial about Dan Andrews handling of Covid lockdowns etc. Plus how Government fought to prevent FOI so would not come out before the election.

Perhaps somebody can cut and paste. Plenty of comments there already.

Everyone has to read that Bettina Arndt article.

Central to this issue is the Moller report – Detective Superintendent Scott Moller was the guy in charge of the AFP investigation.

After a four-month investigation of evidence presented by Higgins, with police travelling across the country to check facts in her story, examining 32,736 phone messages and 173,531 media files from Higgins’ phone, Moller concluded that “throughout the investigation, Ms Higgins has been evasive, uncooperative and manipulative.”

The report cites: Her repeated refusal to hand over her phone. When she finally did, she had deleted key evidence: “I’m clearing out my phone ahead of police,” she acknowledged.

Her claim to have sought medical attention and the morning-after pill after the incident. The police travelled to Perth and Brisbane and found she’d misled them about the medical assistance. She later admitted she’d lied about this.

Her earlier text exchange about the need for an impressive political sex scandal: “Exactly! A sex scandal the party can be proud of. Another Barnaby but without the baby ha ha.”

Her history of anxiety and depression: AFP officers wrote that they believed Higgins “is at risk of self-harm should this matter progress to prosecution.”

The AFP concluded that “there were serious concerns in relation to the strength and reliability of her evidence but also more importantly her mental health and how any future prosecution may affect her wellbeing.”

This is in addition to:

Refusing to get a sexual assault kit, report early, give clothes to police, her statements to Reynolds and the Project/Shiraz/sitting week conspiracy.

She also perjured herself (yes, statements to the police can be perjury: see s 327 (1) through (4) of the NSW Crimes Act) and they have a ready made confession.

There is no way Channel 10 can win.

I have said it before, this whole stinking mess may see Higgins go to gaol and bring down the Federal Labor government.

I wouldn’t want my daughters or granddaughters living in one, not for a minute.

They would never have to deal with a bloke pretending to be a woman in their toilets.

A Tasmanian Indigenous artist is asking for an “Australian of British descent” to donate their corpse to be used in a taxpayer-funded public art installation that will “speak to sacrifice for past sins”.

NATO posts estimated troop losses every day, you can take those with a pinch of salt of course but they regularly put daily Russian losses in four figures. I am sure there must be a tally of these estimates kept somewhere, look it up.

You made the claim, you provide the evidence.

We all realise that providing evidence is not the way of the modern j’ismist, but this is your chance to get ahead of the trend.

“Palawa artist wanting to find an Australian of British descent who is willing to donate their future deceased body to an art installation,” the ad read.

Im willing to donate a Fitzsimian.
Some deadening required, but otherwise ok.

Has he considered donating his own corpse? It would probably fit the criteria.

Whats a good card carrying leftist/feminist/intersectionist to do when she notices certain ethnic groups appear to be making her feel unsafe??
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/mar/07/safer-streets-women-racial-stereoptyping-fear

But in my recent conversations with some women about their feelings of safety, I have noticed underlying coded messages. They say things like “it’s a dodgy area”; that they “wouldn’t want to be alone around there”. They say they are scared of men in hoodies.

When women talk in general terms of “dodgy” areas or that some “types” of men feel scary, often a lightly masked stereotype has informed that fear. Studies have shown time and again that images of Black men were seen as larger, more threatening and potentially more harmful in an altercation than a white person. Being scared of certain areas where there are more of the “types” of men perceived as scary, then, becomes code for being more scared of Black and minority-ethnic men in public. When I’ve challenged these women, they protest: “It’s just the crime statistics!”, without acknowledging that behind these statistics lie stories of police harassment, ethnic profiling and racial criminalisation.

So – denial it is then.

You’re quite the thickie, Muttley.

You claim to be concerned about the most pressing national challenges facing Australia. Three years from now, China, the US, Australia and the rest of the world will be totally pre-occupied with addressing the ravages of unchecked climate change, a far greater national and human security threat to us all than conventional geopolitics.

PM’s girlfriend Jodie Haydon’s radical super reform push raises questions over her links to Labor’s recent policy backflip (8 Mar)

“An article promoting radical super reform penned by the Prime Minister’s girlfriend has raised questions over her links to the Albanese government’s recent policy backflip.

Jodie Haydon in 2019 wrote an article for the Public Service Association of NSW union’s magazine calling for the then-Coalition government to make major changes to the superannuation system.

Ms Haydon – who has worked in the super industry for more than 20 years – discussed the gender super gap and laid out a five-point plan to address the inequalities in the system.”

She’s a PSA weenie eh? Our super is in very very very safe hands.

Crossie – The thermageddonists bend over backwards to avoid mentioning the “C” word. They love China to bits. No one is protesting China building two full coal fired power stations a week, nor that they produce more CO2 than all other nations put together.

NATO estimates are that Russia is losing five men to every Uke KIA.

Clarification, is this the same NATO that estimated they could defeat the Taliban and free women from oppression in the sandbox? …. asking for a friend….

its road connections to Kramatorsk and Sloviansk – two densely populated, industrial urban hubs to the northwest – mean those cities be next in Russia’s crosshairs if they are able to take control

It’s a transport hub with roads able to be used 12 months a year, and therefore logistically gold – a facto that doesn’t often crop up on Call of Duty.

‘I picked up this chick at the pub on Saturday night, and factor at her place later on.’

Bakhmut is only a little larger than Gympie. It is irrelevant strategically. It’s importance is entirely political. All of the stuff in the MSM is posturing for the audience. Who that audience is is the real question.

Are you/ they talking about Bakhmut or along the entire front? And who is widely accepting this manpower advantage?

Bakhmut specifically.

NATO does this daily? Where? Or are you confusing the British MoD or OSW with NATO?

Right, it’s Ukraine and the Poms. But then in addition to the daily reports you often see quotes out of NATO intelligence.

The overall picture is hard to see through the fog of war, of course. There has been a fair bit of chat about Ukraine withdrawing from Bakhmut, especially now that its supply lines are degraded. Russia has been trying to perform an encirclement but they are having trouble because the two advancing lines they are trying to meet up to finish the circle are now vulnerable salients to be attacked themselves.

The victory, if it comes, would be as memorable as that other town in the middle of nowhere that Russia took over a month ago whose name everyone has since forgotten.

The bushfire criticism stung him. Really stung, right to the marrow.

He thought he could get away with “niceness”, being Turncoat’s successor and next best thing. But the media went for him in an unexpected, and to be honest, really unfair way. He wasn’t about to let that happen again.

When the Covid panic started, he was on the front foot and stayed there. To appear pro-active, he ditched COAG and formed the National Cabinet. Being a Teflon sort of character, the horrid decisions were farmed out to the Premiers. Figuratively, they would “hold the hose” this time. He foolishly imagined that none of their heinous decisions would be sheeted back to his abrogation of responsibility. Big mistake.

The net result of his stupidity and cowardice is wall to wall Labor governments and no way out of the progressive maze for the foreseeable.

Anderson Cooper: “You know, I mean, the idea of Tucker Carlson being in that mob that day and not wetting his pants is hard to imagine.”

The tactic I’ve used a lot in wargaming is hammer-and-anvil. You set up an anvil, invite attack upon it. Then you hook around with the hammer. It’s very well known, but still works over and over.

Russian military officers are reportedly refusing to launch a new attack on the Ukrainian town of Vugledar after suffering heavy losses in a tank battle. It has been claimed that Russia lost around 130 tanks and armoured fighting vehicles in a recent offensive to take the town, located in the Donetsk oblast.

Ukie data so go find corroboration if you can. I haven’t bothered. But if Bakhmut is an anvil then Vugledar may be where the hammer is.

As with most j’ismists, you haven’t let that restrain you from making bold predictions about events.

Meeeeeoooooowwww!

If Bakhmut isn’t strategically meaningful, is Kramatorsk? Slavyansk? What exactly determines the strategic significance of this that location?

Kramatorsk is certainly meaningful, given its size and military factories plus it’s the HQ for the oblast. Sloviansk not as much.

None of them are as meaningful as, say, Kherson, Kharkiv or Mariupol.

But The Aus seems to have missed the essential point. This was blatantly party-political stuff which should have been funded by the ALP, not the poor long-suffering taxpayer.

Sure, The Australian always seems to miss the point when it’s Labor Party racketeering.

Perhaps the real mission is to reinforce the narrative that Covid/19 is a deadly disease to prepare the ground for Covid/19 Mk. 2 and a fresh round of Vaccinations?

It’s quite high for children who are 5–7 years old.
9% of boys this age take part in the NDIS.
And it’s about 4% of girls.
