Rural sport is usually of a high standard, often very high. There are lots of very high standard sports people with their own professions and trades who do not wish join a professional team.

Kerry O’Brien gives impassioned defence of Indigenous voice to parliament at hearing
Former ABC journalist tells joint select committee on voice wording that it is a ‘simple and unambitious and unthreatening’ proposal
There is nothing “simple and unambitious and unthreatening” about “The Voice”. It is always astonishing that people cannot exercise critical thinking in relation to issues that they hold dear.
The current terms of The Voice are so open ended that it would certainly “end in tears before bedtime.” Essentially, virtually all matters considered by the Executive and/or Parliament would be relevant to concerns of indigenous Australians. It is destructive to deny it. It would, at the very least, necessitate a duplicate public service body to address an astronomical amount of paperwork. It is also disingenuous to say that the High Court would redress any anomalies.
It is also clear that all the “do-gooders” who support this abomination of process know absolutely nothing about Aboriginal culture and the obligations and privileges within this culture. It would produce a multiplication of existing power imbalances.
The whole issue is an example of there twisted, emotive policies that plague modern western societies.

And I’m talking about your social licence being penalised by a non-centralised digital currency. That’s hardly any better than a CBDC for liberty.
Why not have the economic freedom without the currency devaluation? You know, like this country used to have.
And no, wishing for the system to be improved in ways that it used to be *before I was born* does not make me a boomer (in either body or spirit) it simply makes me a reader.

To clarify my earlier, I agree the decentralised DCs are better than the CBDCs, I just think that’s a false dilemma because there is (obviously) a third option.
Explain how. They can ban it or they can see the ledger. They can’t control it.
Kerry has quite an opinion of the importance of his role in the world. Most narcissists are smart enough to hide it, they know it doesn’t play well.
Something I forgot to say about Auckland. Most of the expensive stores – fashion clothing, handbags, ritzy sunglasses, jewellery, and so on – had their doors closed, and a security guard stationed inside.

Anyone can infer how you spend your time by looking at how you spend your digital currency, and can then bring any pressure or spiteful action against you by all means other than preventing you spending DC with 3rd parties – unless they pressure those 3rd parties into not trading with you. How many off-ledger soft power actions are worth your continued on-ledger transactions? This isn’t a tradeoff you consider until you are forced to by spiteful people who do not share your preferences. To think this wouldn’t happen is the stereotypical Achilles’ heel of libertarianism, which is unable to provide a plan for how to deal with people who don’t share libertarian values.

Off with their heads comes to mind……………………….
I just read their ‘refutation’ of claims that the setup in NZ is a predictor of what will happen here.
It is essentially a defence of the government’s position, littered with red herrings about the NZ Treaty. ‘It will be up to the government to manage the politics’ they airily proclaim, as if this is a side issue. No discussion of the practicalities, of course, since we don’t know what they are.
While we are on the subj. – TheirABC ran an absolutely fatuous piece this morning about how the squabbles about the criss-crossing of the countryside with power lines to deliver a few lightbulbs’ worth of electricity are just a sign that the Energy Revolution is unstoppably underway – it’s just a question of how.
Once again, people who have no idea about how wealth is created. None.
Isn’t producing food and earning export dollars to keep the professional agitators in the style to which they are accustomed enough?
That’s it. There won’t be budget surplus anytime before 2050. Meanwhile the NDIS will eat us alive. I heard one defense of the NDIS the other day, which suggested that those people employed under the scheme help the economy because they’re earning money. It’s absolutely gross what bullshit these parasites put out.
Big Ears, the market designer is making waves in DC kicking up an intellectual storm.
There was the intervention, investigations, studies, numerous reports. The pollies have tried and consistently failed. In a democracy power isn’t everything. Pollies can’t just demand anything. We’re not a dictatorship, at least not yet. Consider the lockdowns, they had various so called experts providing them with justification. How does Johnny Rotten propose to solve the problem Dutton raised? Another study, another Royal Commission? If they people on the ground are controlling the data nothing changes.

If they ban monero, they don’t get to see any “suspicious” transactions any more.
There are other ways, like how in Africa “Mobi money” is used, account balances with phone companies can be transferred. As well as gambling accounts here.
Calling the challenge of fighting authoritarian government and the implacable state as your enemy is a rather strange “fatal flaw of libertarianism”.
Here’s the thing. Who gets to see the ledgers? I have my “transaction” account for crypto not in my real name, but I have done the KYC stuff for it. They’d have to get a warrant to see what is what. I’m not hiding anything but about one person IRL other than me knows my account name.
How much data mining do you need to go back to when I first put fiat into it? You would have to specifically go into my bank and request old records. There is a level of cost which starts to become prohibitive because it is a time intensive process.

Careful Johnny.
The spelling police are about.
In truth, they were in no such position.
Scott Morrison was PM and leader of the LNP for those previous years. We don’t know his attitude to the Alice Springs problems or indeed, to the horrific abuse of little aboriginal children, because he never had the courage to state it. We don’t know how he would have reacted to his ministers raising this issue.
Petter Dutton now is leader of the LNP and he has spelled out in no uncertain terms his attitude – indeed, his abhorrence – to the prevalence of child sexual abuse in aboriginal communities. And he now is in the position to call for action.
As I said this morning, kudos to him.
How does Johnny Rotten propose to solve the problem Dutton raised?

This AAP story just moved on the wire. Expect more of the same MSM slant and perspective as the Voice vote draws near:
Crime rates in Alice Springs are back in the spotlight as the federal government and opposition accuse each other of ‘playing politics’ on the issue.
That’s NOT the story. The story is Dutton made specific charges which the indigestablishment would prefer not to be aired.
But the national peak body for Indigenous children and families has called for the serious crime of sexual abuse not to be used as a political football.
It’s not the poor bloody kids that matter, it’s the political advantage. Bugger the kids.
Opposition Leader Peter Dutton this week visited the Northern Territory town to highlight crime rates but came under fire for alleging children were being returned to abusive households, without citing evidence.
Deputy leader Sussan Ley said a national tragedy was unfolding in the red centre which needed to be placed above politics.
“Instead of demonstrating leadership, we are seeing political accusations levelled at Peter Dutton that are quite frankly disgusting,” she told reporters in Sydney on Friday.
“There’s a national tragedy unfolding in Alice Springs with women and children at risk of violence and sexual assault.”
Pity she and her Morrisonian colleagues didn’t do something about it.
But the head of the national voice for Indigenous children, SNAICC, said Mr Dutton’s claims were not supported by evidence.
“Sexual abuse is a really serious crime, which has a devastating impact on children, families and communities. This is not a political football,” chief executive Catherine Liddle said.
“The claims of ‘rampant’ abuse fly in the face of evidence. Data from Territory Families show there has been no escalation in investigations of sexual abuse or exploitation.”
Self-serving grant-snaffler pleads ‘For the Rainbow Serpent’s sake, don’t hold me responsible because statistics (her statistics)
Ms Liddle said Mr Dutton had not taken up an invitation to meet with SNAICC to discuss the issue of child sexual abuse and the over-representation of Aboriginal children in the child protection system
She urged all sides of politics to listen to the expertise and voices of Indigenous communities.
The voices of indigenous community leaders, like her, shouting ‘Nothing to see here’ into an ABC microphone
Indigenous Liberal senator Kerrynne Liddle earlier defended Mr Dutton’s claims about the rates of child abuse in the NT and challenged people who questioned the claim.
“I say prove it’s not happening and then we can have a conversation about the kind of language we can actually use for this,” Senator Liddle told ABC Radio National.
Acting Prime Minister Richard Marles told Nine’s Today Show Alice Springs should not be made a “political football” and the government had worked to try and improve the rates of crime and substance abuse.
Ah-ha. ‘Political football’ must have led the day’s talking points. Has Monty used it yet?
Meanwhile, federal Labor MP Marion Scrymgour, who represents the seat of Lingiari taking in most of the territory, called on NT Police Commissioner Kate Worden to focus on her department’s work in Alice Springs.
“I think Kate Worden needs to look at her department and herself, to look at the Act and to deal with this issue … because there are way too many young people doing illegal things around Alice Springs and stealing cars and setting them on fire,” she told ABC Radio.
All Plod’s fault that pissed-to-the-gills parents let their kids roam the wee hours while they beat each other senseless.

talk about a social credit system delving into decentralized digital currencies might be overkill. just take away peoples mobile and a lot of modern life would be impossible.

Child abuse and neglect is being reported to authorities in the Northern Territory at almost five times the rate of any other Australian jurisdiction.
The latest available data from the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare shows 95.5 children per 1000 in the NT were the subject of an investigation or notification to child protection services in 2020/2021.
The state with the next highest rate was New South Wales where there were 23.5 investigations or notifications per 1000 children.
In Tasmania there were just 6.7 notifications or investigations per 1000 children.
The data also showed the Northern Territory had the second lowest substantiation rate when abuse and neglect was reported to authorities.
Just 31.9 per cent of cases in the NT were substantiated. In Tasmania the substantiation rate was 76.5 per cent.
But substantiated cases of child abuse and neglect are still far higher in the Northern Territory than in any other state or territory.
For children aged under one, there were 63.8 NT children per 1000 who were the subject of a substantiated notification. The national average was 16.6.
For all children aged 0-17 the rate of substantiated abuse and neglect per 1000 children in the NT was 26. The national average was 8.8.
Sky News obtained the data after a political slanging match erupted during Opposition Leader Peter Dutton’s visit this week to Alice Springs.

No you weren’t. The whole country got locked down to start with. If you never got vaccinated you were allowed to go for a walk, that’s about it. “I was out and about, I bought some toilet paper, I walked to the pond and fed the ducks…then I went home”.
They assaulted blokes for buying pizza take away in a small car. They beat the crap out of Arab bros for buying masks, that was caught on video. They drove through Moore Park IIRC to catch “bad guys”.

There is, in all likelihood, an element of political advantage in sticking the boot in. Any astute pollie wouldn’t miss a chance like this.
The NT (Labor) government has wilfully mismanaged anything in its remit for years. This collection of local dunderheads and bored housewives have become so traumatised by the RC into children in detention that they’ve tipped the metronome over trying to swing it back the other way. Combine that with years of sucking up to ‘culture’, which – like it or not – included cannibalism and still includes child sexual abuse, and here we are.
Don’t get me wrong. I loathe the SFLs, because they keep throwing their chances out the window by being snivellers. However, on this occasion someone’s stood up and actually said what needed to be said, and for the first time since 2007.

I live in NSW and I was out and about every day.
No you weren’t. The whole country got locked down to start with. If you never got vaccinated you were allowed to go for a walk, that’s about it. “I was out and about, I bought some toilet paper, I walked to the pond and fed the ducks…then I went home”.
Dotty Dot of Dottiness. You are a retard. I was out and about every day. The whole country did not get locked down. In Sydney, it was so easy to tell a copper that you were out for a 5 km walk. And then you did a longer walk. And then as I said to the next copper that stopped me that I was out for a walk (from where he/she did not know) and I’m going there soon. Then I would say that I was homeless and then they had no idea what to say. Except go home…………..lol.
So Dot, STFU as you are not very good at this stuff as well as Economics.
Then you obviously didn’t live in a “LGA of concern.” No curfew at 9pm with lights from helicopters hovering overhead checking.

Thanks for the considered reply.
I was unsure of the hierarchical issue here – I had assumed the Archbishop was head of the Church. However, the refusal of the King to conform to the oath and his concurrent refusal to the primacy of the Church of England, does that not put him in defiance of his position and therefore unable to carry out his duties as required?
When I took the Oath of Allegiance as an Officer, I wasn’t allowed to cross my fingers and hope for the best, nor was I allowed to alter the Oath.
A different standard for those who rule over us?
Glodishocklian was Dickhead dan in a dress with a nace accent.
I do so wish people would stop using “elected” as some sort of shorthand for “selected”.
It goes to the heart of the whole farce. It can’t be an elected body because they can’t ever plausibly define the parameters for inclusion on the electoral roll. It is so amorphous that no one has actually dared try, and if anyone did, they would soon find that tackling something easier, like defining “woman”, might be more useful.
So this desperately-needed “Voice” is a voice on behalf of a group which cannot be defined.
Yup, I’m all for inserting an openly-racist element into our Constitution when the proponents can’t even define the race it is supposed to be benefiting. Absolutely no opportunity for unintended consequences there.

I’m somewhat relieved the counter argument is not readily apparent, if there is one.
Not a lot deeper, just one level. Reading a book… you still had to buy the book. Going sailing in someone else’s yacht… consumables and transport. There must still be some you can’t infer but how much of someone’s week is taken up by those really? And which of them make a political difference?
They don’t need to, you accidentally had your audio assigned to your bluetooth speakers and the neighbours are laughing at the high pitched voices, you clutz. Just kidding, but this is a humorous way of introducing the Analog Hole. Nothing physical can be encrypted, and everything that can be encrypted has to be decrypted before you can use it, thus the Analog Hole (much hated by music and movie studios) can always be monitored.
For example that is how the intelligence agencies can monitor what you do on your computer regardless of the physical security around your computer, which operating system you use, or which VPN provider you use. They just decode the faint electrical signals emanating from your monitor at some distance, thus seeing in realtime everything that you see on the screen. That is more targeted surveillance than mass surveillance, but that’s only a matter of time,
Yes, you’re getting it now.
Okay so there’s the tradeoff; the more different (effectively) currency providers there are, the more siloed your various different transactions are, but the more centralised parties you have to trust and keep monitoring for trustworthiness. No free lunch again.
Settle down. I didn’t say anything like that. Certainly I did not mean anything like that. I was implying libertarianism has no way of fighting an authoritarian government, because anything he/she might try to do will be illegal according to that government and so the libertarian must refrain from it, or cease being libertarian. You have to prevent the government / public service from devolving into authoritarianism because libertarianism has no way to fix it.
That’s just it. So there is non-removable component of trust in every step of this process. We have to trust other people in trade, it’s just a question of who, where, for what, and for how long.
I think I can’t take the argument much further on that point because I’ve never bought nor used any cryptocurrencies. All Flynns, Unaipons, and Monashes for me so far.
Right, so the …uh…broker??… has done the KYC stuff on you because the government wants to be able to get that “administrative information” from the exchange at some time in the future for undoubtedly noble purposes that you can fully trust they will confine themselves to without misusing that information for purposes other than that for which it was granted and… you’re already in the same unreliable trust relationship that CBDCs would bring.
Dude! Eww! I’m not a midget!
I’m trying (maybe failing) to suggest Preserved-Purchase-Power-Parity Cash is a 3rd alternative to public crypto and CBDCs. It clearly lacks a mechanism of enforcement which is the problem that crypto avoids but crypto creates a different set of risks.
Yea, that’s pretty good evidence.
Anal’s trying to pull off a marxist putsch.

But he fed some ducks!
He walked around..all day. Lucky for him, he never had sport, cultural or social events cancelled.
This proves we have nothing to worry about CBDCs, because Marty Armstrong is off the pace?
The idea that social licence only exists because righties complain about it is laughable, ditto for social credit.
They have both been tried in the West to varying degrees of success. CBDC during the COVIDmania would have made enforcement of compliance easier.
We have local councils (“rates, roads, rubbish…”) spying on people with drones and metadata…”oh but don’t worry about a CBDC…”.

The primary overall reason for CBDC’s, apart from all the control aspects, is the ability to implement negative interest rates.
This means that your money will be eaten while sitting in your account (and you can’t do anything about it as withdrawing no longer exists)
Negative interest rates give a government the ability to incentivise spending even more to keep kicking the economy along and the can down the road.
And yes, they will block your ability to buy food and pay your bills if you say anything.
Then they come and take your property because you didn’t pay your rates due to your account being locked..

In a strange twist of evolutionary history, the ancestors of modern South American monkeys such as the capuchin and woolly monkeys first came to the New World by floating across the Atlantic Ocean on mats of vegetation and earth. According to a new study, they were not the only primates to make the trip. A fossil find in Peru suggests that a different, entirely extinct family of primates undertook the same kind of oceanic voyage more than 30 million years ago.

Lies about Super-computer
In Institutional Time Share Martin Armstrong claimed:
We have constructed the First Fully Functioning Artificial Intelligence System Correlating the Entire World Economy 7 days a week, 24 hours per day. There is simply nothing like this model in the financial world….
We are porting all systems to the IBM Sequoia, which is the fastest Supercomputer in the world with 16 thousand trillion calculations per second monitoring everything that beats and moves worldwide. You can put your entire portfolio into the system and it will monitor everything far more intensely than any human staff are even capable of accomplishing and without the risk of pure opinion…..
Time Share slots will be available at $5 million up to $100 million annually depending upon the size and international scope of the portfolio. Our actual annual cost just in energy to run such a system is in excess of $6 million…..
This page can be also be viewed at the WayBack Machine, dated October 11th, 2012
Institutional Time Share
The glaringly obvious problem is that IBM Sequoia is a project contracted by the US Government Department of Energy. That unique project and hardware configuration certainly wasn’t made available for any other commercial purposes.
According to Wikipedia, Sequoia is used for energy and scientific research (i.e. academic institutions only). It is a single custom computer installation – not an IBM model that anyone could buy.
Armstrong claims that, HIS annual cost just in energy is in excess of $6 million. It is the same number reported by Time, except that it’s the full energy cost of the Sequoia super-computer. Based on the same Time article, only researchers get to submit their proposal to run on Sequoia. And yet, Martin Armstrong’s team are porting all systems to the IBM Sequoia.
I have never heard of any instances where the USA government actually sells their spare capacity of their equipment to the public let alone close to 100%. What is the chance that Armstrong’s Socrates can be run on Sequoia? I would say that it is ZERO.
Not only that, Martin Armstrong’s energy cost of $6 million is at about 86% to 100% of the capacity of Sequoia (total energy cost for Sequoia is $6 to $7 million). What is the chance that the US government allows Martin Armstrong taking 86% to 100% of the capacity? I would say that is is FOR SURE IMPOSSIBLE.
So it is a big lie, a confidence trick. To boost his credibility, Armstrong simply makes outlandish claims for his “Fully Functioning Artificial Intelligence System”, while his Socrates is not even a system, still plotting charts using bar-height without numbers in timing arrays which need human guesswork for interpretation.
If running software on a super-computer is a lie, and his office is a lie, and his readers’ comments are lies, what would preclude Martin Armstrong from lying about any of his forecasting “successes”?

In that vein Tom, I bring you the continued bed wetting over covid, Hun:
Covid deaths and hospitalisations across the state have soared, amid pleas for Victorians to get booster jabs and take other precautions to stem the spread and save lives.
Thirty Covid deaths were reported to Victoria’s Department of Health in the past week alone.
“An average of four deaths were reported each day in the past week. This represents a 108 per cent increase when compared to the same period the previous month,” Victorian chief health officer Brett Sutton said on Friday afternoon.
And there were currently 297 Covid patients in Victorian hospitals — an increase of 46 per cent on last week — with 15 in intensive care and five on ventilators.
Prof Sutton said Covid cases had risen to 5811 in the past week, with an average of 830 new cases a day.
It follows the string of rising cases and hospitalisations over past weeks.
The spike in Victorian deaths and hospitalisations comes as a new Omicron sub variant – currently wreaking havoc in India – is being increasingly detected in Victoria, and becoming more dominant.
“Victoria continued to see an increase in Covid cases, hospitalisations and intensive care admissions this week . . . (with) Covid hospitalisations up 46 per cent,” Prof Sutton said.
“The increase in transmission is being driven by the combination of waning immunity and the growth in recent weeks of multiple Omicron recombinant sublineages, particularly XBB.1.5, XBB.1.9.1 and XBB.1.16.”
The XBB.1.16 strain, which is nicknamed Arcturus is sweeping India and creating chaos, with a warning from the World Health Organisation (WHO) that the strain is “one to watch”.
The Omicron spin-off has also started spreading through the U.K and U.S.
Abdominal pain is a symptom of the XBB.1.16 variant, along with the symptoms common to other variants such as fever, sore throat, body pain and headaches.
The name Arcturus means ‘Guardian of the Bear’ and is related to the constellation called the Great Bear. Arcturus is also a red giant star and one of the brightest stars in the northern hemisphere.
Prof Sutton said with increasing Covid cases and hospitalisations across Victoria, now was the time to take steps to help reduce transmission and the impact on the state’s health system.
He said Victorians should take the following steps to “help stay ahead of Covid”.
1. Wear a mask
2. Get a 2023 booster: new bivalent vaccines targeting Omicron variants are available though GPs and pharmacies.
3. Let fresh air in: open windows and doors when you can, it reduces the spread of the virus
4. Get tested: if you have symptoms, take a rapid antigen test.
5. Stay at home: if you have Covid, you should stay at home for at least five days and until you have no symptoms.
6. Talk to your doctor: if you are at risk of falling very sick, you may be eligible for Covid medicines. Covid medicines work best taken within five days of getting sick, and the earlier the better.

To realise how futile and utterly ridiculous climate change policy is in practical terms, you just have to remember that humanity is responsible for about 3% of overall CO2 emissions. So if mankind disappeared from the earth tomorrow, the difference would hardly be noticeable. (Even assuming that CO2 is actually harmful which, of course, it isn’t). The whole approach seems like murder/suicide on an industrial scale. But, of course, it makes perfect sense if the goal is to drastically reduce the human population. The level of insanity required to adhere to such a course is beyond my imagination but seems to be perfectly acceptable to those currently in positions of power.

And lesbian aboriginal women are worse of all:
Lesbian and bisexual women experience more physical, sexual and emotional abuse
than exclusively heterosexual women
Emotional abuse by a partner was the most commonly reported type of abuse across all sexual
identity groups. Experiences of emotional abuse were most commonly reported among women who
identified as bisexual (46%), followed by women who identified as mainly heterosexual (32%), lesbian
(28%), and exclusively heterosexual (21%). Women who identified as mainly heterosexual, bisexual,
or lesbian were twice as likely to report physical abuse by a partner as women who identified as
exclusively heterosexual (24%, 29%, and 22%, versus 12%, respectively) (Szalacha et al. 2017)

Excellent summary of Phillip Island attractions. And for a souvenir or gift for a bikie friend, a poster of the Grand Prix circuit.
Years ago (20) I came across a schematic of the Clipsal 500 race track that was to be held on a cut down version of the former Adelaide F1 Grand Prix circuit. The plan is about 1.m x 500mm. It was rolled up on a shelf in an office and (to cut a long story short) was destined for the rubbish tip. It’s signed by the engineers from Kellogg, Brown and Root who designed the track. Nobody seemed interested so I snaffled it. 🙂
The Soviets were comprised of Russians, Ukrainians, Georgians, etc …
Fast forward to 1:27 in to grasp the true width and depth of the supposedly almighty and very former Soviet Unionionion …
If one were a cynic, one might suggest that russians are reverting (again) to their traditional habits of “liberating” territory, ports and peoples, although this time, they’re (allegedly) not marching under the banner of soviet collectivism.
