In the early seventies there was a determined move by the teacher’s union to eliminate corporal punishment in the schools. I foresaw the ensuing chaos, but was assured by the idealists that if children never experienced physical violence against themselves, they would inevitably be peaceful and obedient. In short, the teachers exhibited zero insight into what human beings are like, and children in particular.
The chickens have been coming home to roost ever since.
The female teachers (most of them) hated confrontation and preferred psychological manipulation to a smack on the bottom. Making kids feel guilty was deemed preferable to smacking them in places where no damage would be done.
All part of the feminisation of society. I can’t say it’s improved anything much.

Plans unveiled for Syriac Catholic church in Sydney’s south west
Sydney’s Syriac Catholics are set to build a home for its fast-growing community after receiving development approval for a church and pastoral centre in Sydney’s south-west.

I recall you cited Pew (without linking to the actual article or data) – well, I have a link to Pew as well, showing an increase in votes for Trump.
Cite your link, dope.
Meanwhile, here are The Figures [from Pew Research].
16,400,000 blacks voted in 2016.
Trump got 9%
That’s 1,476,000 black votes for The Dumpster.
2020, 2% of Trump’s 74 million votes were from blacks.
That’s 1,480,000 black votes.
4,000 more than 2016.
Meanwhile, 154 million votes were cast in 2020, compared with 125 million in 2016.
Bottom line: if Trump had held onto that 9% in 2020 he woulda drawn 1,660,000 votes, not 1,480,000.

Perversions can never be satisfied – that’s one thing we’ve learned from them. Paedophilia is just another stepping stone on their way to self harm and suicide.

Something is broken in the species if people who are not under duress are willing to apply these labels to themselves.

I read RFKs (very well referenced) book on COVID, and examined his concerns about other vaccines as well.
He is *not* anti all vaccines – only those vaccines that have significant safety signals, and have never been tested against inert placebos in proper RCTs (ie pretty much all of them).
RFK is the only person I can think of who would make be hesitate before voting for Trump. He will likely be nobbled by the Democrat party should he start to do well in the primaries, or assassinated in the time honoured manner.

Abigail Shrier wrote her excellent book, Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters three years ago, I read it when it first came out. Shrier deals specifically with the phenomenon of teenage girls transitioning in the US. However, this phenomenon also now applies to the UK and Oz, and I suspect other English speaking countries. Most of the transgender clinics, be it Tavistock in the UK (which is still functioning) and the clinic here in Melbourne, are treating teenage girls (and younger). Whilst there are some boys, girls make up most of the children being treated for “gender dysphoria”. In her book Shrier discusses the contagion in detail. What’s causing this? Well, there are a number of factors, adolescent female contagions are nothing new, they have been around and observed for thousands of years. I remember them at school, it was anorexia and bulimia. At the girl’s school I attended there were country boarders, and I remember a number of them suffered from anorexia. Puberty is difficult for boys and girls however it’s probably more difficult for girls, given we start menstruating, and menstruation does impinge on our activities. I remember personally hating how my body was changing, it’s quite traumatic. Anyway, Shrier goes into all of this and she chronicles how this contagion has been made infinitely worse by social media and, more sinisterly and worringly, the active presence of online groomers, but there’s something else Shrier observed, almost all the girls she investigated came from liberal progressive families. Many parents, in fact many mothers, are actively encouraging their daughter’s desires to transition. Why? Because they feel that this is the “progressive” thing to do.
Shrier’s book is excellent, and there are others worth reading, you can’t go past Helen Joyce’s “Trans, Gender Identity and the New Battle for Women’s Rights”. I’ve ordered “Defending Women’s Spaces” by UK writer Karen Ingala Smith, on how important and necessary women’s spaces are to safeguard and protect women.

Yes, you could travel to Japan if you had fewer than three COVID vaccinations but you had to have a negative PCR test result within 72 hours of arrival in Japan. This requirement has been dropped from 8 May, together with showing a vaccination certificate if you had 3 shots.
Looks like the US is just about the only place now requiring a vaccination certificate, as far as I can tell this requirement is still in place for travel to the US despite the state of emergency being dropped. The Republicans in the House tried to get rid of vaccination certificates for inbound travellers in March but the Democrats voted it down in the Senate
I’d argue it’s, leftwing narcissistic mothers encouraging the kids. They can wear it as a badge of honor. These mothers are mentally ill.
I don’t quite get where social media comes into it in terms of influencing kids.
It’s hugely influential. It isn’t just the trans issue. In 2012 the philosopher Jesse Prinz published Beyond Human Nature. His central thesis is that medicine, psychology, and psychiatry has become to dominated by the biomedical medical model and too much ignored the importance of cultural factors in shaping our behavior. Behaviorists would read that book and proclaim, “So what! We’ve been saying that for decades!” It is one example of why I use to state, admittedly unfairly, that the journal title, “Biological Psychiatry”, is an oxymoron. Trying to understand human behavior without reference to environment is like trying to study the weather on the moon.
There’s an awful lot of insanity about. Most of it wasn’t noticeable in the days when everyone conformed to sane norms, now the norms are to lionise the loonies so it all comes out into plain view. But they’ve always been with us.

Yes, I agree, and I think Shrier would agree to.

The (majority) female teachers now send boys for ADHD drugging and treatment when they can’t handle regular boyish behaviors in class. Not saying there aren’t good lady teachers, but boys are treated as “trouble” and left to quietly fail schooling while girls get majority of the support, prizes and success.
I’d suggest one way to fix education is to get back to min 50/50 ratio of men/women teachers and offer boys option to have male teachers. This represents what feminists asked for decades ago to help girls do better … ain’t life strange.

So a serial killer is up for parole, when life doesn’t mean life.
Timebomb of grief finally erupts in Paul Denyer parole eligibility
For the families and friends of Paul Denyer’s three victims, a timebomb of grief planted three decades ago by the Victorian Court of Appeal detonated this week as the serial killer became eligible for parole.
A Victorian MP who was the boyfriend of Denyer’s third victim has described the overturning of the original Supreme Court sentence guaranteeing the serial killer would die behind bars to a ‘‘30-year course of worry’’.
David Limbrick, the Liberal Democrats Upper House MP who was dating Natalie Russell at the time of her death, said the decision to rip up judge Frank Vincent’s sentence shattered family and friends at the time and had retraumatised them all these decades later.
‘‘We were devastated then as we felt it was a just and correct sentence,’’ Mr Limbrick said.
‘‘The impact of that decision has been that we were set on this 30-year course of worry. We have been worried for the last 30 years that he would be eligible for parole. And now he is.
‘‘No one has ever been able to provide certainty that he will not harm another woman, no one can guarantee that.’’
In sentencing Denyer to die in jail, Justice Vincent took into account advice from forensic psychiatrists and psychologists that the 21-year-old suffered from a ‘‘sadistic personality disorder’’.
‘‘I have been told that you obtain immense gratification from the humiliation, mutilation and killing of other human beings,’’ Justice Vincent said at the sentencing hearing on December 20, 1993.
He went on to say that ‘‘importantly, there is no known way of dealing with the problem which may well last for life’’ before concluding: ‘‘You do constitute such a danger, and at our present state of knowledge, apart from separating you from society, there is nothing that can be done about it.
‘‘Perhaps there will come a day when you will be able to walk among the ordinary people of our community. Whether you will ever do so must await the passage of years and decision of the executive government of the time.’’
In sentencing Denyer, Justice Vincent said ‘‘your conduct, as you remorselessly hunted down and killed three young people, is almost beyond comprehension’’ and he reflected on the broader community fear generated from the seven-week killing spree.
‘‘The apprehension that you have occasioned to many thousands of women in our community will be felt for a very long time,’’ he said.
‘‘For many, you are the fear that quickens their steps as they walk along or that causes parents to look anxiously at a clock when a child is late.’’
Six months later, in a split 2-1 decision, the Court of Appeal overturned Justice Vincent’s sentence, and set a 30-year minimum term before Denyer would be eligible for release. The court found the judge had ‘‘abrogated’’ his duty to pass sentence and it must be ‘‘irrelevant to the sentencing process to have regard to whether the executive government of the day might intervene in the sentence by a court of law’’.
Mr Limbrick said he could still recall the shock of that decision. ‘‘I didn’t really understand the reasons why it happened. I felt it was some failure of the justice system. It felt like a failure to us,’’ he said.
Russell’s parents, Brian and Carmel Russell, were contacted by the Department of Justice late last year to alert them that Denyer would be eligible for parole on April 11.
Since then, the couple says, they have been told nothing.
Victoria’s Adult Parole Board has declined to comment about Denyer’s fate.
Mr Limbrick said months of silence from the Department of Justice and the parole board had exacerbated the family’s anxiety.
‘‘I would have expected that the government should be at least briefing friends and families,’’ Mr Limbrick said.
‘‘It’s had a terrible impact. We don’t know how long this process is going to take.
“Is there going to be an announcement? We just don’t know.’’”
So much for justice. Oh and Denyer once “identified” as a woman (how convenient). He claimed he had gender dysphoria and it was this that led him to butcher three women. He wrote, “I committed these disgusting crimes , not because I ever hated womankind, but because I have never really felt that I was male.” Denyer began wearing women’s clothing and cosmetics in prison, in defiance of prison orders. Medical specialists evaluated whether Denyer could receive sex reassignment surgery and rejected the idea. Prisoner support groups said that he “cannot be anything but serious” about his transition, given that it would entail personal risk. One victim’s mother said Denyer’s transition made her and her husband feel “sick”, calling it a “stunt”. Denyer has since reverted to identifying as Paul.”
Who’s to say that, if paroled one day, Denyer doesn’t start identifying as a women the next day and given Victorian law, he can simply “identify” and enter a female only space. Just dandy!
How safe would women and children be around Denyer?
Who wants Paul Denyer in women’s spaces? I don’t.
His fan base must be devastated, although they are studiously quiet on the subject in other parts of Teh Webs – where previously they were setting him up as a latter-day Churchill.
The extremely well-informed veteran crime scribe Andrew Rule has a short piece in The Hun on this.
Rule opines, and with some justification that absolutely nobody on the Parole Board of Victoria wants to be associated with another release of the type that allowed Ernest Bayley out of the bin, where he promptly raped and killed journo Jill Meagher in an urban laneway before dumping her body out in the countryside.

Years ago, in Western Australia, there was a series of brutal rapes and murders of young women. The perpetrators were arrested, tried and drew long sentences. Public opinion was that there was a perfectly serviceable set of gallows at the old Fremantle jail. A well known civil rights activist gave an interview to a Perth radio station, wanting to know if all those demanding the death penalty, would be prepared to spring the trap themselves.
The announcer interrupted the programme fifteen minutes later “No more phone calls, please. We have enough volunteers for the hangman’s job.”

Dr Vernon Coleman MB ChB DSc:
Mr Henry Mulligan
8TH APRIL 2023
Long before I became old myself I had great affection for elderly folk. I felt that in hospitals, nursing homes and care homes in particular the older patients were often unappreciated, frequently treated without respect and regarded as subhuman. Too many members of staff regarded the elderly as disposable and irrelevant. (It is, of course, this attitude which made the mass murder of the elderly easy to arrange in 2020 and 2021.)
And so, for example, it annoyed me when I heard seventy and eighty-year-olds being addressed by their Christian names, as though they were children or in some way second-class citizens.
And because I always tried to talk to my patients, and find out a little about their lives, I knew that no one ever lives an uninteresting life.
So, I wrote a novel about an old man who was dying. His name was Mr Henry Mulligan and he disappeared from the geriatric ward of a large hospital in the English midlands. His wife, who was suffering from Alzheimer’s disease, disappeared with him.
The story is written in the first person and it is based on a true story (though it isn’t, strictly speaking, autobiographical) and the ‘author’ is a young, newly qualified doctor who works in the hospital concerned. He is fond of the couple and decides to try to find them.
His search proves more of a challenge than he had expected and becomes something of a mystery story. The doctor discovers that he didn’t know as much about Mr Henry Mulligan as he thought he did.
Only be uncovering some well hidden secrets can the young doctor find the missing couple and solve the mystery.
It is a fairly short, easy to read story which I remember I wrote in two weeks in our apartment in Paris. I hardly moved from the keyboard for the whole two weeks and the story pretty much wrote itself. By the time I neared the end of the book, hammering the keyboard as fast as I could to get the story down, tears were pouring down my cheeks. I was, I remember, quite drained when I’d finished it.

Trump underestimates the appeal of his softer, more cerebral side. He should let people see more of it. That’s the downside of being caught up in a MAGA rally vortex. He seems more thoughtful and also just a little bit more frail.

One thing I have noticed since 2008 is women dressing down
, not making an effort to look good. The worse your grooming the more you are idolised by the good looking well dressed media and entertainment industries.
The former nsw health minister was the best example of this.
Brigid McKenzie and Jane Humle, Nicole Flints are ridiculed for their grace, manners and classic looks.
Please explain Cassie as being married with 3 daughters all I keep saying emotionally is you women are mad.
The following really gives me the irrits.
Coverage of women’s sport on the news.
It’s really ramped up now.
Take the Stawell Gift, run over Easter. ABC News showed a brief clip of the men’s and a slightly longer one of the women’s with a long and pointless interview with the young girl who won. Nobody could give a continental. The men’s competition has so much more sheer strength and power and aggression and the women just can’t match that. But there’s now a rule stipulating not just equal coverage; surely this demands constitutional change and a referendum. It would bring us altogether after all.
Tonight the Matildas (women’s soccer) were featured for several of the most inane, inconsequential minutes in the history of sports reporting. Pretty faces, lots of gush, a bit of giggly. And another thing: these stories never mention injury reports. Why ? Could it be that women don’t play the game hard enough to actually, you know, get injured ? Is that why it’s such a snoozefest.
Yep, she was gorgeous. Powerful eyeballs.

What I do know is that the media and most politicians are frothingly on the side of Ukraine. Knowing what I know about them makes me very cautious indeed. The only hesitation I have about Russia is a first principle one – don’t invade your neighbour. It isn’t neighbourly.
JC posted this last night but it’s worth posting again, to show the complete collapse of journalism….
Elon Musk to BBC ‘Journalist’: “You Just Lied.”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3_6X-XGWlc
I thought he’d retired not that long after the bushfires. Was it over burnout or am I being unkind?
Back to the trough then.
Nukes are sooo last century.
Weather radar is where it’s at, man.
The Elon Musk vs BBC reporter interview was hilarious.
Talk about clubbing baby seals.
Constance is the very model of a modern major trougher. Incompetent, but unabashed.
The only hesitation I have about Russia is a first principle one – don’t invade your neighbour. It isn’t neighbourly.
Russia: Look guys, trying to join NATO and shelling ethnic Russian speakers is a red line for us.
Ukraine: Oh yeah, watcher gunna do about it? We ferkin derya.
Russia: OK then, don’t say we didn’t warn you.
The whole thing fomented by a criminal gang (Nuland, Felonia von Pantsuit etc) inside the US government, itself a large criminal syndicate.
Watched that Mush interview. Heh.
Brought back happy memories of Richard Carlton. More please Elon.
Re, taking sides, I probably should’ve used ‘might influence you‘ to take sides instead of a firm “make you”
I have firm beliefs myself about a lot of things, but just because a fellow traveler comes out with some outlandish BS, I’m not going to support it automatically.
Well,one of them was Mush. 😀
Musk is correct in saying that the BBC misrepresents things on a daily basis.
I listen to at least some of their output most nights (being a bit insomniac) and they are on the wrong side of a number of issues.
Elon may just have seen the famous Thatcher interview.
Well done, that man!
What a lightweight that BBC guy was. If you are interviewing someone like Musk, surely you would send someone with lots of experience, briefed to the hilt. Instead, they sent someone who was recently employed in the Diversity and Inclusion office, who has just now worked out where the vending machines are.
Another own goal by the Beeb.
Anchor, when we’re away it’s usually the BEEB or nothing. They’re like an alternate universe, and getting more weird by the year. One holiday, every story had a climate change angle.
At least Poms who come here and watch Auntie will feel right at home.
This is where I’m at as well, leave your neighbours alone. It works well in the suburbs as Guy Sebastian has found.
At some point there will have to be negotiations so why not go straight there. I’m thinking Putin miscalculated and now there is no way back. Are we looking at a repeat of Russian Afghanistan debacle? Come to think of it Afghanistan seems to be everyone’s debacle.
Joh, there is an even grimmer alternative.
He might have been their best.
Andrew Constance, is this the same dickhead who retired early from state politics because it all got so “stressful”, yet he now wants to return to the federal scene? Constance’s early retirement forced an unnecessary by-election, which NSW Labor won.
Andrew Constance, is this the same dickhead who, during the bushfires in 2019/2020, joined in the vicious media pile on of Morrison? Whilst no great fan of Morrison, he never warranted that vitriolic media pile on and personal blame for the bushfires.
Molan was a conservative, and I will give credit to him for fighting back against the Photios creeps. Remember that in the 2019 election, Molan was deliberately placed by Photios and co into the unwinnable fourth position on the senate ballet. “In 2019 Molan campaigned independently (not supported by the Liberal Party) to be elected. Molan and his supporters urged voters to ignore the official joint how-to-vote instructions issued by both the Liberal Party and the National Party. Instead, voters were encouraged to vote directly for Molan. It worked too, and good for him because he sidelined Photios. No doubt Photios is still furious.
Now they want Molan’s vacated position, and they’re pushing for the parasitic grub Constance to be installed. No thank you.
Andrew Constance came across as smug and contemptuous of anyone who had a nerve to question him. Not exactly a vote magnet.
‘Give me one example.’
‘I – I – I – I’
That earnest young man with the cultivated ranga beard would have been sooking into his half-shandy all night after that execrable performance.
As mentioned above – you don’t just waltz into an interview with a bloke who’s made billions out of not pandering to wokeness without something in your back pocket.
And then Constance had a swing at Gilmore in 2022 and failed.
There must be jobs other than politics that he can do. Shirley.
“French army officer Alfred Dreyfus was imprisoned on the remote Devil’s Island, off the coast of French Guiana, on April 13, 1895, after being convicted of treason the year before.”
Although it took a while, he was released and allowed to serve his country again. Rather surprising after the way his country had treated him. A Patriot to the end.
Note the BBC dickhead’s choice of words here, “slightly racist, slightly sexist, slightly hateful“. These words are very deliberate, all designed to smear, to censor and to outright silence those who have thoughts, ideas and beliefs progressives are opposed to. Their whole raison d’etre is to smear.
“slightly racist” is progressive leftist parlance for those of us who believe in legal immigration, strong borders, nationalism, cultural homogeny, Islam may not be a religion of peace and so on.
“slightly sexist” is progressive leftist parlance for those of us who don’t believe in the mythical gender wage gap, women should have choices and so on.
“slightly hateful” is progressive leftist parlance for those of us who only believe in just two sexes, who don’t believe women have cocks, who are conservatives, who are libertarians, who believe in free speech, who believe in religious freedom and so on.
It’s sweet, very sweet when you see feeble cretinous cowards such as this BBC dickhead exposed for his drivel. Note how he stumbles and note his craven cowardice, and when pushed into a corner by Musk he desperately tries to deflect. It’s painfully awkward. Musk, by buying Twitter and cleaning it out, has singlehandedly exposed these censorious wankers. For years these totalitarian cretons ruled the roost at Twitter, Twitter was a progressive fiefdom and everyday they censored and silenced conservatives or anyone who refused to kowtow to them. You’d be kicked off Twitter for saying an obvious truth such as “a man could not become a women”, this is what happened to Meghan Murphy. Those words were considered “hateful”….yet everyday on Twitter, for years, certain “hateful speech” was allowed and was considered quite kosher, hateful speech directed at conservatives.
For years the left loved Twitter, because it was their own personal platform, and they were free to lie, dissemble, and dissimulate all day long. Now they don’t like Twitter because, once again, it’s been opened to all, and so, like little petulant children who don’t get their own way, they’re having daily tanties and are trying to shut it down. As evidenced with the exchange between Musk and the BBC f*ckwit, I doubt they’ll win, because Musk did what any good parent does with petulant stupid children, he smacked him down. It is sublime. Perhaps this video should be sent to every Liberal and National politician. They could learn a thing or two from Musk.

The Musk/BBC cretin interview was like a “long play” version of Margaret Thatcher v George Negus.
I do hope the BBC cretin’s career goes into freefall just like Negus’ did. Very fitting.
The BBC top men have completed a thorough analysis of that interview. Frame by frame. Tone. Pitch. Volume.
The draft results from their report indicate the journalist would have been much more successful had he included, as part of his ensemble, a man bun.
while carrying on the pretense of objectivity, Bong John manages to breathe substance into the spectre of yet another well crafted ecto-plasmic polemic.

In the Oz today:
RBA mea culpa: We did a terrible job – RBA board member Ian Harper told a panel that looking back ‘it looks like we did a terrible job’ on its messaging with rate rises.
The RBA admits that it maybe, possibly, stuffed up the management of ‘inflation’ AFTER the pandemic.
No, you twats, you *caused* it by printing vast reams of money whilst at the same time our wise rulers locked us all in our homes (ie shut down production).
Rising prices is NOT the definition of inflation*, but if it was, increasing the money supply whilst at the same time reducing the supply of goods and services will cause it every time.
* The real definition of inflation is an ‘increase in the money supply’ – or if you must, an ‘increase in the money supply faster than an increase in the supply of goods and services’ – rising prices are just a symptom of that.
Welcome to the wonderful world of OZ where it’s never your fault for getting into debt but you can blame those grubby, grubby usurers who lent you the money after explaining the consequences of not paying it back …!

Is this sci-fi lingo?
Right out of the Ben Shapiro playbook – ALWAYS ask for specific examples when accused of general conduct infringements – it works every time because the mob don’t have them – they just absorbed the talking point (bad white male pale stale, transphobic, rich aren’t paying their fair share etc etc etc) without question.
Via Ace, Riley Gaines cuts danger-haired meat dijk deep and wide.
My sincere apologies. Not Richard Carlton. George Fungus.
Getting my j’lists mixed up. Pogria and the second cup of coffee realigned the mental chakras.
I would retort that means the same as ‘hardly racist’, ‘scarcely sexist’, and ‘barely hateful’. Yet for a lefty in good standing that is reason enough to censor something and/or ban someone.
But more significant is that there will be a blurred grey area between people’s definitions and degrees of sensitivity where one person is offended and the other not. But the left insist that it is up to them to adjudicate, and if you disagree you want to stoke racism, sexism, paroxysm etc.

Warning to electric car owners as thieving gangs target home chargers – leaving motorists £700 out of pocket (12 Apr)
It’s sort of a Catch 22 situation. As more EVs are sold the copper price rises, which means more incentive for crooks to steal the cables. Commercial chargers are going to have the same problem.
The vast majority of renewable power tech, that is crucial to the zero target, is made where?
Huge quantities of minerals that the federal budget and our wealth is backed off goes where?
Penny will take that on notice.

The Gaslighting started early today.
One of them is Andrew Constance
I thought he’d retired not that long after the bushfires. Was it over burnout or am I being unkind?
He quit State politics to have a go in the Federal arena at the last election .. didn’t do too well so it looks like he’s trying the ‘maaates” backdoor approach .. comes fully trough ready .. no “newbie” training needed!
And in more ‘couldn’t make this stuff up’ news:
And you said ‘but they wouldn’t’ when I said big food, big pharma and big medicine all collude to make you sick, then sell you remedies….
So…
The next major targets for cable theft will be rapid charging stations instead of construction sites.
Dc fast chargers probably require 240mm flex cables at least.
Sounds pretty lucrative to me, especially because the government will keep pumping them out ?
Hang on a moment. Isn’t copper a debbildebbil mineral, the product of GaiaRape?
How can this be? I thought all these EVs ran on fairy farts.
“It’s sort of a Catch 22 situation. As more EVs are sold the copper price rises, which means more incentive for crooks to steal the cables. Commercial chargers are going to have the same problem.”
Bruce of Newcastle,
It’s been happening for over a year in the US.
At first, the charging stations were simple being vandalised, then crims realised they could make decent money from the cables. Laugh out loud funny.
Copper is relatively abundant and easy enough to mine.
It’s the cobalt and lithium that are the main problem…
Also silver for solar panels and neodymium for wind turbines…
Watch and listen carefully.

Andrew Constance stopped Barilaro’s run for Eden-Monaro, that’s one good thing he did, as well as being pretty funny, and he went within 300 votes of winning Gilmore, which was the best Liberal result in Australia, so he’s done well.
Jim Molan was no good anyway, he’s be a big improvement there too.
So the NSW gliberals are at it again – that staggeringly incompetent imbecile Constance? No chance of anyone voting for him, so just parachute him into a senate vacancy, while figuratively urinating all over Molan’s legacy including the latter’s mighty effort in winning his senate seat after being effectively disendorsed before the last election.
I’m surprised the gliberals haven’t yet tried to resurrect Greyhounds Baird. Still, prising him out of his NAB* sinecure might be a bit difficult.

Went through there in the early oughties. At that time the servo at least was run by whities, but it (and other commercial buildings we saw on the way through) was fortified. Untended utes at the servo tended to have large dogs in the tray.
Still, a town with no whities. Shirley a perfect opportunity for the indigenous population to demonstrate their ability to run a well managed town, free from interfering waaaaaiscisssssts? And Their ABC reckons they’re not doing a good job? More waaaaayscissssssts!
