Every single thing they write now gets CCed to the TGA and they’ve got the Power to suspend a GP forever.
How peculiar, I write sick notes regularly, yet report to no-one..
And since the TGA has no jurisdiction over Drs in this area I think its not inconceivable you are being a mong again.
What the TGA regulates
The TGA regulates the supply of:
medicines prescribed by a doctor or dentist
medicines available from behind the pharmacy counter
medicines available in the general pharmacy
medicines available from supermarkets
complementary medicines, these include vitamins, herbal and traditional medicines
medical devices, from simple devices like bandages to complex technologies like heart pacemakers
products used to test for various diseases or conditions (in vitro diagnostic devices), such as blood tests; and
vaccines, blood products, and other biologics.
and the manufacturing and advertising of these products.

This is absolute rubbish.
Homo Sapiens did not originate in Africa.
No. It was Aliens in flying saucers that visited Planet Earth and mated with the chimps and gorillas to produce people like you.
There were more than two hundred Antifa, we know that from John Sullivan’s brother. Some were even in MAGA hats. Then there are all the alphabet agency glowies from Epps on down. The known number of them is increasing rapidly. At least fifty, possibly three figures. Certainly the group that actually entered the Capitol may well have had more agents in it than real protestors.
The electric Hummer weighs 9,000 pounds and its battery weighs as much as a Honda Civic.
A Concrete Truck is pretty heavy too, but the person driving that has a fair idea how much damage it can do.
Safety Reps don’t get to write Sick Certificates.
That would be an issue if that was my role.

One, these people are not fond of democracy while chanting it constantly.

Pretty mutual. Russia seems to be in defensive mode at the moment. They’ve just built a big trench system 80 km behind the front line. It’s visible from space. Not a sign of confidence.
Between the loss of interest by the West and the exsanguinity of the Russians it looks to me that the war will go into a 2014-style frozen stalemate soon.
“I had no idea average EVs weigh about 2.5-3 tonnes.”
Remember the old “tanks”, like an EH or an XY? About 1.3 tonnes they were – a new Corolla weighs more!
The last of the Ford and Holden utes weighed 1.8 tonnes – utes!
Current model Landcruisers and similar sized 4WDs weigh well over 2 tonnes.
If you had a 150+kW engine in an old banger, it was a high performance car. Now it’s standard.
Has to be, they are pulling around such lard-arsed bodies (not talking about the passengers either).

This reeks of the scam the Greens tried on about ten years ago – Is it still going?
A company was told to open it’s books to Greens employees to ascertain its adherence to Green policies. The company was to pay for all costs of this audit, and ALL the books were to be made available. If the company failed to comply with the audit requirements, they would be placed on a list of ‘environmental vandals’ (- my terminology) and consequences would flow from this.
Did I mention there would be a fee for this? $30k and up for smaller businesses.
We used to call this extortion but it seems like a great money spinner.
Neither side has been “annihilated” (but it wouldn’t be surpising if they were felling less than chipper atm).
The leaked report simply contained a restrained assessment of Ukraine’s offensive capabilities come this spring in comparison with their successes last year.
Ok this has to be the most hard to understand rejection have had at the Oz. Under an article about Twitter.
“I recently got the blue tick and now able to post more words.
However a few days later the tick disappeared and says still being reviewed although still have the extra words.
Am happy to pay to support the platform now that there is more freedom to comment”.
Could the rejection reason be because promoting the competition? If you want freedom to comment Twitter is freer than the Oz. Although of course people can block you on Twitter.

One upshot of their geographical consistency is that over the last 50,000 years, the different groups of aborigines grew extremely diverse, genetically, physically and in language and culture too, Prof. Alan Cooper of the University of Adelaide told Haaretz.
The thought of Perth City Council’s His Majesty’s Theatre Car Park collapsing under the weight of six floors of Teslas is certainly fun, except that I park there regularly.
So what does a Tesla weigh? The heaviest, Long-Range/Performance AWD : 4,072 lb (1,847 kg)
The lightest, Standard Range: 3,552 lb (1,611 kg).
Compare with the carpark’s usual diet, the Landcruiser (2,240 kg to 2,455 kg unloaded) and the Camry (1,500 to 1,655 kg hybrid) I am not terribly concerned.

In the 1400’s and 1500’s, Dutch and Portuguese sailors sighting the Western Australian coastline noted “tall natives in warfare chasing and killing hordes of “little” native peoples”.

Andrew Neil has done just about everything in UK media. Editing, interviewing, chairing GB news, you name it.
Last night on Q&A he served it up to the Anglican bishop and the Young Lib (carefully selected for their harmless dorkishness) and toed the party line on the Voice.
I did enjoy a couple of moments of shining hypocrisy which he slipped under Tan’s and the audience’s not very informed guard.
The first was when he, from nowhere, thundered on about the subject of Catholic clergy sexually abusing children, and mentioning Boston. This from a man who gave a fawning interview years ago to Jimmy Savile and who some think may have run his eye over the Jeffrey Epstein menu. Wiki notes:
He and Prince Andrew should get together, if they haven’t already done so.
And there’s nothing like a strait laced Scot denouncing sexual immorality while putting it about himself:
In his favour, Neil appears to be a climate sceptic. Last night he launched into a criticism of the BBC for assembling panels where the six panelists all agree. ‘We are part of the problem,’ he (erm) ejaculated at the end of his little rave. The irony, like the hypocrisy, was lost.

I’m not going to claim that a tiny group of pygmy people once living on a tiny part of the north Queensland coast, but does that change the historical record for the rest of the Aboriginal population that spread from PNG around the east and west coasts?
No, nor does it change the fact that the Stan Grants and Adam Goodes are indistinguishable culturally or in appearance from the rest of Australia.
Many many later arrivals are darker of skin and more culturally diverse.
Not making that claim for rural remote aboriginals, I suggest Stan and Adam make their homes in Wadeye for a year then come back and tell us how a ‘Voice’ will fix everything.
Yes, thats the point, he was *elected* … who elects the new indigenous ‘voice’?
Pope at Easter Urbi et Orbi
The Mass and “Urbi et Urbi” (from the Latin: ‘To the city and the world’) message and blessing went out live on broadcasts around the world. Over one hundred thousand people filled the Square and surrounding avenues, which were navigated by the Pope in the popemobile as he greeted them following the Mass.
As usual, the flowers donated by florists from the Netherlands appeared brilliantly under the mild Spring sunshine. Close to thirty thousand flowers adorned the square and the balcony of the loggia, recalling the theme of new life, hope, and joy at Easter.
A couple of pics in this article show the magnificent display of flowers.
All that would do is convert relatively predictable urban structures into rubble – which is *perfect* cover for setting up the next ambush. The allies found this out in a hundred places, perhaps most notably Monte Cassino in WW2.
If the infamous Cairns News are pushing a narrative.

Also, local knowledge of an area is invaluable when it comes to defending home territories.

Thanks for that, interesting reading. I find it fascinating how humans populated the planet. I recently watched a Youtube documentary on the Denisovans, who populated parts of Siberia and East Asia. Scientists have found a bone belonging to a young woman who died about 90,000 years ago. She was half Neanderthal and half Denisovan. We also know that Europeans, Asians and Middle Eastern peoples have Neanderthal DNA, many Asians have Denisovan DNA, so there was cross breeding between humanoid species.
As for the “ghost people” of about 4000 years ago, I remember reading a few years ago that scientists and biologists are certain that a group of people, probably no more than a dozen, arrived on this land mass now named Australia from the subcontinent, most likely what is now Southern India or Sri Lanka, between 4000 to 8000 years ago. It was these people who brought and introduced the dingo…..and….the boomerang.
By the time the “ghost people” arrived, the Tasmanian Aboriginal had been cut off from the mainland, which explains why there were no dingoes in Tasmania nor boomerangs.
Human isolation doesn’t lend itself to civilizational or cultural progress, in fact such societies tend to stagnate and regress. I think we can be certain that Aboriginal culture, cut off for thousands of years from the rest of the world, remained stagnant. Now that stagnancy may not have been a bad thing, it probably helped them survive this hostile continent, but the isolation meant that they did not advance technologically, despite Bruce Pascoe’s profuse and imaginative lies.
Cafe Hayek’s Quote of the Day
I can be told otherwise, but I struggle to see the relevance of the 65,000 years thing.
There’s no argument that the indigenous population was in place well before British settlement. But whether that was hundreds, thousands, or tens of thousands of years makes no practical difference to the issue of why a racial preference in executive government should now be inserted into Australia’s ‘foundational document’.
The depth of prehistory says nothing about the desirability of formalising racism in Australia, or resolving aboriginal disadvantage in the current world.
And certainly not coming out of Plibersek’s mouth.

Lots of people before the current mob. Things started getting serious 47000 years ago when the first evidence of concerted human interaction with the Mega Fauna occurred. The current mob are relative newcomers coming no more than a few thousand years ago from Sri Lanka. They pulverised their predecessors, burnt the place down and finished off the Mega Fauna before degrading into a soon to be extinct race until salvaged by the English. They were the real invaders, ecoterrorists and have contributed nothing to modern society. But hey, lets genuflect to them and let them run the joint. Watching the big cities degenerate into hunting and gathering hellholes will be fun.
Don’t forget the corruption and rent-seeking and trading of favours as Teals, Greens & other close comrades use the “fair, non-capitalist system” they enabled to avoid the economic & social chaos they put in place. Andrews attempt to cover his states crazy spending with Federal funds(a.k.a. taxpayers savings) is just the 1st example of how this will look at state level.
So this Leeser loser, why should we be upset that he’s outed himself as a …erm… well the word racist is correct here because the InVoice is a racist institution by definition and he apparently prefers to support it instead of toe the SFL party line.

Why did he ever join Labor Lite™ when he could have joined the real thing.
I was in Cassino in January though I didn’t get up to Monte Cassino because buses.
Monte Cassino was not being used as a defensive location by the Germans and the only people killed there when the Allies initially bombed it in the mistaken belief that it was being so used were Italian civilians taking shelter.
Sure the Germans then moved in to the ruins and defended their positions for several months. I suspect that was was as much because it was an advantageous location.

It’s too late.
The LNP comments that it won’t make an iota of difference to rural and remote community disadvantage and will just create another layer of Canberra bureaucracy are quite correct.
I’m sick and tired of people putting on the victim cloak and failing to take responsibility for themselves.
Not saying there haven’t been injustices and suffering but we can all look back one two three generations and find plenty of the same, and sometimes far, far worse.
Ending Aboriginal ‘communism’ would be a great first step to improvement.

That made my day. Crusaders like Stan & Adam have cast places like Wadeye out of their consciousness. Even if they know of their existence, I doubt if they comprehend what takes place in such communities. But even if they did – they would probably blame the white settlement of this country for corrupting the idyllic (which never existed) indigenous society.

Read that. Clive makes the very good point that The Voice actually places a barrier between Aborigines and TSIs and their government. Instead of directly taking up concerns with their MP or the relevant Department, they will be steered to their local Voice ‘representative.’ Apparently this is what happened when the ghastly ATSIC was around.
Warren Mundine said he thought this was a very good point which had not previously been raised, and that he would like to investigate it further.
Clive has many shortcomings, but he is a good lateral thinker.
Seems like Leeser wants hopes the Voice will improve things for disadvantaged Aboriginal Australians.
Good for him.
I don’t, because I don’t think they will address the heart of the problem.
Its vitally important for the in-voice people that the Aboriginal “problems” are never solved.
Hence the wails and screams when King barney tried to shut some of the outstation camps 20 or so years ago.

The gall of the jug eared arsehat. That being Andrews, Hun:
Treasurer Jim Chalmers has hosed down any hope of a budget bailout for Victoria, saying the federal budget is also “under pressure”.
Premier Daniel Andrews is reportedly lobbying the Commonwealth for more support, claiming the state was ripped off for almost a decade under the former Coalition government.
But Dr Chalmers on Tuesday refused to promise any special treatment for Victoria, adding many states and territories were facing similarly challenging times
“The combined pressure of increasing borrowing costs on $1 trillion of Liberal debt, combined with the costs of the NDIS, the health system, aged care, defence and in other areas is putting immense pressure on our budget,” Dr Chalmers said.
“So what we do is we work in a cooperative and collaborative way with Victoria, and with the other states and territories as well, to make sure that we are methodically working through these challenges in our Budget, (and) that we’re funding and providing the services that the people we represent need and deserve.”
Dr Chalmers said several funding agreements with states and territories were up for renegotiation over the course of the next year.
“We will work with the Labor states and the government of Tasmania to make sure that we’re doing what we can,” he said.
The Andrews government has repeatedly warned of the need to pay down debt, with the Herald Sun last month revealing a looming 10 per cent cut to the public service.
Victorian Health Minister Mary-Anne Thomas, however, has ruled out any cuts to frontline healthcare in the upcoming state budget.
But Ms Thomas on Tuesday refused to confirm whether her Department would push ahead with plans to slash 10 per cent of the workforce, or if some healthcare programs were at risk of losing funding.
She also declined to confirm whether some community health programs would continue to be propped up with funding, but said frontline services were not at any risk of losing money.
She added that there would be no cuts to frontline roles, including nurses and paramedics.
“We will not be cutting frontline healthcare at all. That has never been what our government has done,” she said.
“Like Victorians right around the state, we’ve got our own budget challenges. Victorians expect us to care for their state budget the same way that they care for their household budget and that is by looking at all of our expenditure and making sure that it is meeting the needs.
“There are budget conversations under way and I’m not in a position to make any comments further on those other than to say that Victorians will continue to see record investment into healthcare.
“The healthcare of Victorians is utmost in our minds when we are making budget decisions.
“The budget is still being developed and I’m not privy to the decisions … but what I can be very clear about is that healthcare is a top priority for our government, and we know that we need to continue to invest.
“All of our election commitments will be delivered and we will continue to deliver the healthcare services that Victorians need and expect.”
Opposition treasury spokesman Angus Taylor said the May 9 budget would be a crucial test of the Albanese government’s fiscal responsibility.
Mr Taylor said it was important that essential services were funded appropriately. But the Andrews’ government needed to explain to Victorians “why they can’t fund them themselves”.
“Prime Minister Anthony Albanese will have to explain to Australians in every other state why they should pay for Victorian Labor’s decisions,” he said.
“The government must be clear that no state will be worse off to pay for a state Labor government’s financial mismanagement.”
Opposition health spokeswoman Georgie Crozier said the state’s embattled health system couldn’t afford any cuts.
“The minister needs to rule out these cuts so that no Victorian, patient or their family, will be worse off,” she said.
“This is a horror budget. There is no money. They have spent and wasted so much of the Victorian taxpayer’s money and now they have to cut services and that is going to impact on the delivery of healthcare services.
“This is not the time to cut the health budget when there are so many Victorians and their families that are desperately in need of healthcare delivery.”

I’m not going to claim that a tiny group of pygmy people once living on a tiny part of the north Queensland coast

The survival of pygmies in a heavily forested area would be consistent with what can be observed in Africa.
Pygmies would seem to only have any chance of surviving an onslaught by larger usurpers in forests.
Current Aboriginals are not The First Nations People. They may however have eaten The First Nations People.

Aussie Cossack in Daily Mail now proving why he deserves to be in jail.
He is holed up in Russian consulate. His solution to his problem has been to read out list of names of Aussies fighting in Ukraine and suggest Wagner group capture them so can be traded for him. Even says some might not be captured alive.
Hopefully those people who hosted him on podcasts etc are now wiping their hands of him as he is a dangerous clown.
Not doing yourself any favours by mentioning all those scientists and quoting a news article. The idea that anthropology cannot be questioned is historically suspect. We evolved in Europe from Heidelbergensis, then it became Out of Africa with no genetic input from others. Now it is at least Neandertals and Denisovans with evidence of other ghost populations. North America was populated 15,000 years ago but now there is evidence for a much older settlement. They keep pushing back deeper in time the development of agriculture and other technologies. The fossil interpretations are very problematic. How come no pigmy fossils if there were so many of them?
Paleoanthropology is fun but should always be regarded with deep skepticism. Using it for political purposes is nuts.
The reference to the “$1 trillion of gliberal debt” is of course, a blatant lie, given labore had run up well over $400 billion of it before the gliberals were even elected. But the stupid forking gliberals did set themselves up for that sort of misrepresentation by ending up being even bigger squandermonkeys than labore – a truly herculean effort of which Goose Morristeen and Joshi Frydchickenberger can be rightly proud.
As for Dim Chambers, just cut spending, you irredeemable imbecile. It’s not rocket science.

From the link Bourne is talking about:
This is exactly what I have been on about for the past two years or more. Exactly.
Halfwits, cloaking themselves in righteous causes – Boikov markets himself as an anti-vaxxer, but who really knows? – to pursue their own agenda.
It is Faulty-esque, and St. Ruth-esque, and it is also worth considering that like the first two, Boikov is another failed politician. The tragedy of it is that people backed him on one issue, knowing full well that he’s a bozo with ulterior motives – of which none concern the welfare of Australian people.
There are (or were) quite a few here who lionised this porky, beady-eyed self-styled crusader and publicity (read: subscriber) whore. Let’s see those people publicly condemn him now that he’s published a list of Australians fighting on the other team, and offering their heads in exchange for his freedom.
“This is not the time to cut the health budget when there are so many Victorians and their families that are desperately in need of healthcare delivery.”
Imagine how many Victorians he could have killed if he only had unlimited access to OPM.

The Parliament shall, subject to this Constitution, have power to make laws with respect to matters relating to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice, including its composition, functions, powers and procedures.
If one wanted to be mischevous.
If the first act of the in-voice was to present something on the racist nature of parliament singling out the Aboriginal people to limit their appeals to the courts by their representative body…
No, he was on parole for that already, which means he’s definitely going back to the bin for this:

Wrong.
Aussie Cossak is on the right team. You arent. Ukraine is a proxy of HomoGlobo Western scum. Russia must, and will win. If that means destruction of the ‘West’, I welcome it.

The history of federal fiscal policy in Australia over several generations has been that Labor always taxes less and has lower deficits than the Libs.
The myth of superior Liberal economic management is long overdue for burial. Labor are the technocrats now. The Libs splash cash like there’s no tomorrow.

All the media chatter is that rub and tug and his fellow scumbags just need to explain the fu.king screech and any reservation amongst the punters will disappear. This is bullshit. Rub and tug has said all he needs to say. And what he has said is Uluru is what the screech is. And Uluru says 3 things: soil/land, minerals and sovereignty. That’s everything.
If the screech gets up the first legislation in any parliament will be taken to the HC for a clarification of the screech. The HC looks at context when interpreting whether legislation is ultra vires. That context includes not just the legislation but speeches made about it and political commentary. They will focus on Uluru. If rub and tug starts explaining he may vitiate the focus of Uluru. If he maintains his silence then all the HC will have is Uluru.
When the screech gets up rub and tug and that other commie skank marcia no welcome for youse finks langton will have effectively nullified parliament and democracy.

I think that is an admission that the ALP is not about fiscal rectitude and austerity. That’s Monty’s conservative side coming out.

LOL. Compare Whine Swine to Costello.
Quite right, Chris.
How often on the Antiques Roadshow do we find that the family legend is not true. It does not mean that any deliberate dishonesty is involved – human memory is well known to be inherently flawed – but it also means that it is not a trustworthy source on its own. That has been demonstrated in the remarkably few cases that have gone to the courts about the ‘stolen generation.’ Not to mention the results.
The proponents know that it is much safer to keep repeating the legend than trying to prove that it is true. Because it at least usually isn’t. But, admitting that Aboriginal children were neglected/abused is unacceptable to the narrative.
Any attempt to legitimise so-called ‘truth-telling’ needs to be seen in that light.
The fat Russian has suckered you, Razey-san.
Boikov was never about the people and their welfare. It was all about him, as evidenced by his latest squealing. The more discerning could tell earlier, when he was very clearly grifting – cloaking himself in popular causes to a) try and get onto the Parliamentary leather seats, and b) sponging cash off them for his podcasting.
To be clear – Boikov didn’t give a rats about you then, and he doesn’t now. Your pivoting onto Ukraine instead of matters relevant here is transparent as well.
Boikov will continue to fail you until you’re both in your cold, cold graves. But – please continue waving your little T-Rex arms and telling people you’ll do what you are clearly not prepared to do.
‘stand with me‘. If you stood for anything you’d have been living overseas for months by now. You just haven’t offered to trade your countrymen for the chance, as Boikov has.
Which situation?
How exactly did you “stand against totalitarianism”? I’m keen to know.
And why does that make 95% of Australians unworthy of living?
That sounds a little…totalitarian…to me.
“Boikov then said he had a list of Australians and New Zealanders fighting in Ukraine against Russia. ‘Some of them (200) have been killed. Some of them remain alive,’ he said,.
‘I appeal to you if you stumble across these people, please take them prisoner and contact the Russian Consulate to facilitate an exchange.”
I’m intrigued…who gave him a list of Australians and New Zealanders?
Zackerly. Is this list just laying around? Fat chance Ukrainians supplied it to him. Likewise our feds (assuming they’ve a – ha ha haaa – a clue)
Outstanding questions, which will not be answered.
Twenty cases, of which ONE child was found to have been removed on racial grounds, and he was awarded damages, plus interest, for “false imprisonment.”
I have it on good authority, though speaking anonymously as they are not authorised to do so, that the Lord High Executioner has a little list.
Good news.

SloMo and Josh certainly didn’t do it any favours. Certainly up to and including Cuddly Costello the Lieborals had a clear advantage. The Liars are rarely in power long enough Federally to do long term damage although Albo might be an exception.

Is Boikov a flaming spook?
OK, I bravely offer to swap Monts to the Ukrainians in exchange for Razey being released to Russia!
I am expecting change as a cash adjustment. Monts is worth at least $2.65 in raw elements, and despite his possibly negative value to the information economy that is $2.65 more than Razey’s ideas are worth.
Razey,
If you thought people like Aussie Cossack helped the anti Vax side then good for you. I guess that would make you a member of the Bosi fan club as well. Both unfortunately made the anti Vax movement look bad.
As far as Ukraine v Russia goes it is baddie v baddie and I would consider myself neutral. No doubt the USA kept pushing Putin for years and plenty of dodgy things being done by USA there. I don’t follow it as much as some here but can see harming the West and probably helping Xi which is more of an issue for me.
So I guess you have no problem with him encouraging Wagner to capture or kill his fellow Australian citzens just because he was anti Vax. Glad we cleared that up.
Mrs Cossack is rather hot, if that counts.
Cossack should have stuck to the livestream videos that brought him to public notice.
He did very well at them.
Though he wasn’t without Russian baggage even then.
He could have gone the same way as others who lockdown knocked around, eg, Avi Yemini, Rukshan Fernando, & some others whose name is on the tip of my tongue.
Alas he couldn’t control himself, & went full retard.
Now he’s gone full Dingo.
Why would Russia, or Wagners, give a stuff about him? They’re losing men every day. Why would they care about just one prick living the soft life in Australia?
The dickhead.
At last, someone with useful knowledge. Onyer, BoN!
Sneak peek of Aussie Samurai’s first episode:
Oh, hello, American investor. I see you are interested in distributing Mr. Sparkle in your home prefecture. You have chosen wisely. But please – don’t believe me. Observe this commercial.
I’m disrespectful to dirt. Can you see that I am serious? Out of my way, all of you. This is no place for loafers! Join me or die! Can you do any less?
What a brave corporate logo! I accept the challenge of Mr. Sparkle.
Razey, I dub thee Mr. Sparkle forevermore.
Boikov does have one thing going for him, he’s not obsessed with “pedos”.
Well he’s in their consulate, which means a delicate problem for the consul. Booting him out could produce global headlines and damage far in excess of Mr Cossack’s intrinsic worth. Keeping him there could also cause a lot of angst, like Mr Assange in his Ecuadorean basement. Painful choice.
Is Boikov a flaming spook?
You reckoned he was a Flamin’ good bloke when he was monstering Fiona Martin in a park.
So much for letting women speak, eh?

No, The Ring is high German culture, very special and definitely refers to something pan-European, the very ancient cosmology of the north-west European Bronze and Iron Ages. Linked also in common origins to the grander Indo-European cosmology of Crete, Greece and Rome. The music is what it is about as well; the story telling of a familial drama of the gods via musical motifs and huge rises and falls in emotions. They say you have to be ‘taught’ to love Wagner and to some extent that is true of The Ring, but it does grown on you, and Hairy has been an excellent teacher for me, with his intense musical background as a chorister. It’s been echoing in my head ever since.
Hairy now pondering (seriously, he’s so wrapped in this production) whether we should return to Bendigo in a couple of weeks for the second sitting to pick up the two operas of this cycle that we missed – ‘Seigfreid’, the tale of the saving of Brunnhilde, and the amazing feat of ‘Gotterdammerung’, the twilight of the gods. In Scandinavia, t’s icalled Ragnorok, their total final destruction; although one god Balder – a Christian concept perhaps – does emerge as a point of renewal. If we do I think we should fly rather than drive, and keep our driving spirits for seeing the grandies in Queensland soon.

It’s nice to be home. The Currawongs are singing themselves to bed in the dusk and Attapuss emerged from under our bedclothes where he has been pining, pitiful with little mweeps, so it’s not one of those long absences, you could almost hear him saying thankfully.
We did get to see the riverside beach at Wagga Wagga, so lovely on a startlingly cobalt blue-skied morning, no clouds, and the river gums drifting green above the milk-tea Murrumbidgee. We’d had a disagreement about which hotel to book – I’d wanted the smart newish International, and Hairy had wanted one on the riverside walk. He won, and we both agreed in the end that his choice was the better one. Obviously a very upmarket place in the 1990’s, still acceptably of quality and blissfully quiet unlike the other choices, our very large room this conference hotel backed onto the riverside walk, which we took as soon as we arrived.
The walk actually sits on top of a steep levee which raises the already significant riverbank even higher. We quickly worked out that the solid wall along the top of this levee was recent additional flood protection. Without the levee and this wall, which extends to the city beach, the flood waters would pile into central Mudgee as they used to do in the past. So much of the Riverina is a flood plain, where roadways have to be elevated, and where in the past, as in Maitland and places like Lismore up north, and parts of the Shoalhaven down south, floods were the norm. Droughts and flooding rains. How stupid was that young girl who drank the Climate Kool Aid re the ‘unprecedented’ Lismore floods and took down the City of Sydney believing it?

That link suggesting Calli and I resembled the Chaucer-reading ladies of medieval yore lamenting those danged new-fangled things like Gothic buttresses and commenting on how young the Crusaders looked these days – well, it made me laugh. While away I have been amusing myself with a book that is all about how one famous woman grew older and wiser in medieval times, with just the same sort of terseness in her approach to her world. The book, by Australian Karen Brooks, is called .The Good Wife of Bath’, published recently, and subtitled ‘A (Mostly) True Story’. It is loosely based on the bawdy character so denominated in Chaucer’s The Canterbury Tales. It romps its way through saucy tales of husbands one to five (in number if not content it has shades of my Big Sis’s marital trials), with poor Eleanor, a practical woman with a good business head, constantly betrayed in a man’s world by the desires of her queynte. Say it aloud, gentlemen, and it will emerge as a word with which you are familiar and which Dover does not permit here in its more Anglo-Saxon mode.
A book for female readers, and I warn you, it has some raunchy moments for the ladies.
Gentlemen however may feel themselves somewhat … umm … assessed.
Aye, so they may, the great gobshytes, Eleanor may well have opined.

Bruce nails it.
Why no erectus fossils in Australia? They reached as far as Indonesia and the Philippines.
Homo Florsiensis were isolated on an island and survived because of that. They were homo erectus and hence far below our cognitive abilities. If the finding of 130,000 years ago in Australia hold up, and I seriously doubt that, that would have to point to homo erectus populating Australia.
Well, he went to Cranbrook, Bear went there too, so the signs aren’t good.
Some of my fellow Australian citizens went and fought for Isis. And when they came back, we got nothing in exchange. I wouldn’t have missed them.
Just saying.
Does this explain m0nty?
“You reckoned he was a Flamin’ good bloke when he was monstering Fiona Martin in a park.
So much for letting women speak, eh?”
Dick Ed, he didn’t “monster” the unlemented Fiona Martin, former member for Reid. She was in a park supposedly to meet her “constituents”, and then she fled from one, Boikov.
So much for MPs listening to constituents, eh?
John H., does the Wallace Line have something to do with it?
Lizzie – The cooler weather has added a sharpness to the appetite of Cafe birdies. The kookas have been very keen, and the currawongs are great fun. They sit and wait in a Port Jackson fig tree about 50m away in a neighbour’s yard. When they see me emerge from my doorway they take flight, like the black helicopters in Apocalypse Now, swooping head-on towards me at the Cafe in squadron formation. They then collect breakfast and return to the fig tree.
Like our Bear? Our Bear who posts comments here went to Cranbrook? I would never have guessed he was a flamer, but there you go.
Same here. It’s Lord of the Flies time between the two Kooka youngsters. They really battle over the gifts of meat.
The sudden cold (expecting around 13C for a few nights) will take the frangipani leaves. This is good because it’s the first year without the dreaded rust. Hopefully the dearth of spores will bode well for next year.
Let’s see those people publicly condemn him now that he’s published a list of Australians fighting on the other team, and offering their heads in exchange for his freedom.
Who gives a rat’s? If they are fighting for Ukraine (or Russia) they are either stupid or they just love war.
No doubt , if caught, they will bleat about their circumstances and expect the Australian government to help them, at our expense.

No, I didn’t say Bear was a Flamer, I just said he went to Cranbrook.

Boikov, though, he monstered Fiona Martin in her Electorate, following her around and behaving in a very threatening manner,
yet the Let Women Speak shill reckons that’s fair enough.
Fiona Martin isn’t a woman, eh?
Costello was the start of the rot. We were in exactly the same position as Norway at the time, enjoying a massive resources boom through pure luck of geography. Norway nationalised the mines and built a humongous sovereign wealth fund. Costello pissed almost all of the windfall away buying votes.

3. An insolvency process exists for states.
Calli the Wallace Line is another interesting example of the problematic nature of these investigations. The Wallace Line doesn’t include The Philippines but Homo Erectus was there(Luzon, 50,000 years ago, but recent studies point to a possible 700,000 years ago!). The Huxley Line includes The Philippines. There is the Wallace Line, the Huxley Line, the Weber Line and the Lydekker Line. These all point to different faunal distributions but not in an absolute sense. I’m not confident these can be applied to human beings because we can populate almost any niche.

You are murdering Frangipani? Why?
They are perfect plants for inner Sydney – need no care whatsoever, and produce beautiful blooms every summer.
And if you are determined to do this, what is planned to replace it/them?
Johanna – they are a pain in the arse. No leaves for about eight months of the year, just bare branches. Then they bloom briefly, before dropping all the leaves and flowers on the ground – or in this case, the lawn, which dies back if the leaves and other detritus aren’t cleared – every bloody day.
I’ve got a Photinia hedge growing up underneath it, which should be high enough by next summer to provide some much needed cover for the entire year.
