Dating too far up the hot- crazy matrix.
News reports say:
Police were given an address to attend.
They attended another address.
Approaching the (wrong) address they walked past the clearly illuminated house number.
Before doorknocking officers checked the address with their dispatcher.
The dispatcher clearly stated the actual address, which was not the address they were at.
Police then opened fire on the householder who responded to their doorknock.
The only just outcome is a death sentence for the officers.

Anything ordered from Melbourne usually takes so long to arrive we’ve forgotten we ordered it.
Rare for anything to arrive from Melbourne in under a month, can be up to four months.
We order a lot from Paris (France): best delivery time, six days (for a tea chest of tea), average time, 10 days.
No mystery why I order from Paris instead of Melbourne.

I remember that one – London? was undergoing a few islamic suicide bombings and this South American illegal immigrant was dressed in similar gear. Coppers tried to arrest him and he ran for a crowded train station. All the things you’d expect a suicide bomber to do.
I’ll give the coppers their due – it took guts to tackle a bloke they thought was wearing a suicide vest he could detonate at any time. Tough call.
Stupid man. Had he stopped when challenged, he’d be alive today.

If we can trust a media writer, who would of course not seek to inflame to get clicks.
On the other hand, its not out of the question that the householder was what Knuckle Dragger calls a frequent flyer, or who due perhaps to being a little ‘tired and emotional’, saw police and then responded inappropriately. If it were so I would expect that exculpatory information to be in the first announcement, so I really don’t know.
We will follow this case.

Congressman STUMPS Four Witnesses with Simple Question
I was waiting for an item from Britain and did a trace. It had been stuck in a facility in Melbourne(DAIpost) for a fortnight. I contacted them and they said they would investigate. Last I ever heard from DAIpost. I was presumed it was lost so I contacted the seller who also presumed it was lost and sent me another, free of charge. Then the two items were delivered a week apart. When I order from the USA, no problem.
Yep, I remembered that from way back. It was the proxy I had in mind. Funny how it never makes the news … .
My recollection, seared into my memory by publicly approving the killing a few minutes too soon, was that he was not an illegal immigrant, just a young tourist with a backpack dressed like a young tourist with a backpack; the inquest concluded that he had mistaken the very plainclothes coppers for muggers.

This is apparent in what is called “pluralistic stakeholderism.” Among other things, this school of thought holds that companies must consider the effects of their choices on potentially infinite numbers of stakeholders, even to the point of requiring businesses to consult with, if not receive approval from, numerous constituencies before making any significant decisions.
Sounds like the model for the inVoice.

I agree with Don Jr. on the Bud Light thing. AB leans Republican and one stupid ad initiated by an idiotic girl shouldn’t be used by the Right to try and destroy a major American company. That’s just cancel culture.”
JC, I probably once would have agreed with you but I’ve now reached the stage where I have had enough and I want to throw it back in their faces. I don’t particularly like cancel culture but when a major corporation like Nike uses a transgender pervert and all round exhibitionist and fetishist, who’s on record fantasising about tampons, menstruation and female breasts, to spruik women’s sporting attire, I say, nup, kaput, I won’t buy their stuff ever again and quite frankly, I hope the company collapses. There must be some push back. Nike deserves to go broke, I know they won’t however in the short term the corporation should, at the very bare minimum, incur some financial consequences for using a pervert like Mulvaney. The Mulvaney Nike advert mocks, parodies and denigrates women. If Nike holds women in such contempt, then biological females such as myself will no longer buy their stuff.
I now no longer have a problem destroying a major American or Australian company, if they’re going to treat people such as myself with contempt. For years now, across the West, almost every institution, almost all major companies and corporations, entertainment and even the effing Royal Family, have gone woke, they spruik woke rubbish, and preach and lecture to us about how phobic we are, be it about transgenderism, Islam, LGBTQI+, critical race theory and all the rest of the bullshit that is steadily destroying the West. My philosophy now is that if I’m going to be smeared every day as a “phobe”….then I will be phobe about certain products and companies. I am now a Nikephobe.

“Our communities can run themselves.” Great job they’re doing, if the graph on Michael Smith News is any guide…
Yes it is CL. I love the primaries, they allow the ordinary people a voice. There’s that word again, the Voice! Except this is a real voice, like what we don’t have here in the face of the elites running the Libs. DeSantis ain’t chiming with the ordinary people, since he doesn’t fight. Not like Trump does, ie with real irate fury. DeSantis is too polite, we’re past that point. I love what DeSantis is doing in Florida, but that doesn’t count except in Florida, for reasons I’m about to say.
No Republican can win in 2024, you surely know that CL already. It will be stolen again, since the alphabet agencies are in the Dems pocket, and so are the electoral administrations in all the so-called swing states. The courts are too terrified to intervene.
So why is Trump doing what he’s doing if he knows this? Two reasons. One is to educate the ordinary people in the knowledge of the increasingly less soft dictatorship they are now living in. Two, to prepare the ground for the second US civil war. Which is why he wants DeSantis in Florida, to be a core base for that war. If what Trump does works it will be a cold second civil war, not hot. But I suspect Trump would settle for a hot war if the Dems and the deep state want that.

Peter Dutton visits The Alice, consults with lots of locals, holds a press conference about lawlessness.
In a breathtaking exhibition of chutzpah* Their ABC pretty much jeers that this is fake news.
Their ABC & the kneepad left, standing up to their necks in decades of evidence empirical & anecdotal of Central Australian lawlessness, brush all this aside to start a national chant of “what proof have ya got?” implying Dutton is a clueless moron, making stuff up to promote his profile.
Their ABC, in revisionism that would make any communist propaganda office blush, tell us they’re simply holding politicians to account, & that Peter Dutton & Jacinda Price should report any child sexual abuse to police. (In a tone of reporting implying that Dutton & Price have nothing)
Simply holding politicians to account eh?
I look forward to this new police of holding politicians to account being extended to include government politicians.
Dutton & Price should comment only upon verified facts. Where the heck did this come from?
Woweeee.. I’m old enough to remember exactly how much disdain there was for innuendo in Their ABC’s reporting of the allegations against Cardinal Pell.
Dutton & Price should report sexual abuse allegations to police eh?
Woweee… I’m old enough to remember Their ABC’s reporting of Brittany Higgins.
So where the heck did Their ABC get this new policy of demanding people in the news who know about sexual abuse should report it to the police?

Ordered some motorcycle parts from England, posted on the 28 March, sat in the UK for 12 days then sent to Melbourne , been sitting in Melbourne ever since, I post a letter to my mum every week, it usually take 5 to 7 days to get to Melbourne. The theme of ‘Ulysses Shrugged’ is the breakdown and loss of expertise and the ability to do things in an efficient and timely manner, we are living in this time.
Fat people and planes, I had to go to Brisbane a couple of years for work, last minute flight and got a seat right at the back, where the fuselage curves in, very tight seating, three seats across. I had the window seat. Sure enough I see two enormously fat women coming sideways down the aisle, they couldn’t walk straight they were so fat, both had the fat chick aprons and wearing revoltingly tight leggings. Of course they were seated next to me. The first one squeezed her way into the seat next to me, as she fell into the seat her companion did the same. She was so fat her massive thighs oozed under the armrest and forced it up to a 30 degree angle. They both had that smell that some very fat people get when they can’t wash themselves properly. Sydney to Brisbane, lucky I didn’t have to use the toilet it would’ve been close to impossible to get to it. The airlines have the nerve to charge for a flight under those conditions.
I’ve surfed all over the world but the surfing strip from Schnappers to Kirra is the best in the world. All those guys can’t be wrong. Here is Kirra at its best.
Gotta question your methodology, as the police bodycam video, released by the Farmington New Mexico police dept (the ones who did the shooting) has been available online for two days.
It matters not who the householder was. The police clearly went to the wrong address, & when it was confirmed the wrong address they did not proceed to the correct address, instead proceeding with the doorknock.
Neither did they identify themselves as police officers.
Regardless of whether he was a “frequent flier” or an upstanding citizen, he wasn’t in the frame for the job they were on, wasn’t even at the address of the job they were on, & has a right to answer his door during the night without cops arbitrarily shooting him dead.
Anyone want to guess how it would have worked out had he refused to open the door?

This is what the “watches ” were for! .. all those contracts that Oz Post secured were with companies guaranteeing specific delivery times for a fee …… The ordinary punter is pushed to the back to ensure the dollar paying company gets 1st preference ..

The Tim Blair piece is very good as most of his writing is. Got me thinking back to when I was in the MFB and we first started doing the ‘first responder’ stuff. I remember talking to an ambo about a job we were at he he mentioned the ‘rule of seven’. I’d never heard it and he explained, “if someone has seven or more things attached to their body it isn’t good at all” seems that if you’re at that point in or out of hospital the future isn’t bright.

Well, that was very funny. It was a bit different from the various ‘Swan Lakes’ I’ve had the pleasure of enjoying over the years. Most performances were at The Royal Opera House at Covent Garden but also once at the State Theatre in Melbourne when the Bolshoi Ballet were visiting. I fear that I do not have the energy any longer to keep traipsing in from the country to the city to the ballet. I used to wear a track from Reading to the ROH in my younger days!

Absolutely but ‘the job they were on’ and ‘a citizen has a right to be armed in his home’ are not relevant if they believe they are about to be shot. Behaviour of the victims is relevant to whether they had a well-founded belief at that instant.
If they were trained to shoot a citizen with a gun innocently answering his front door, their senior officers are responsible.
‘Arbitrary’ is in the mental state of the Police at the moment they are faced with the choice to shoot or not shoot. I dont trust even my own side, the pro-citizen, pro-gun side, to give me truth while things are shouty.
Thanks for the link to Blair’s heart attack report. He’s the same age as Dad was when he had his – that porridge-like colour is a good indicator.
I think most of us can relate to that. His writing is sharp and funny as every. At least his humour artery didn’t collapse, bless him.

Re Tim Blair, wonder if he has decided to quit the smokes. Hope so.
They should not have been there.*
Their senior officers are another matter.
These officers walked past a clear house number, checked the address via radio, still got it wrong, then shot the householder.
They should go to jail for the rest of their lives. Qualified immunity is not licence to kill.
(Total mystery why from time to time someone takes pot shots at cops in the US.)

Crikkit WAG Candice Warner is releasing a memoir, of sorts. It is said to be called ‘Running Strong’.
In it is a vignette relating to possibly the most hilarious moment in sporting history, and in which Sonny Bill Williams plays an indirect part.
Candice was horrified that her midget ranga houso cack-handed husband had been caught out as the driving force behind the 2018 ball-tampering disaster in Seth Efrica, and then even more horrified that the Saffies had accurately sensed the snivelling dwarf’s weak spot, and within 18 hours had brought – and were wearing – hundreds of Sonny Bill Williams masks when the Australian second innings began.
The Saffies accurately sensed a weak spot (the Hun):
24 hours after the blackest day in Australian sporting history, this was the only moment that brightened it. I will forgive South African cricket fans absolutely anything after this brilliant display of twisting the knife.

I’m currently waiting on the latest output -“Me Being Vaccinated Won’t Cure Your Hypochondria.”
The last one was “The Unvaccinated Aren’t a Threat to Society – They Are a Threat to Authority.” That one got a couple of “I love the T Shirt” comments in Chermside shopping centre last time.
Looking at “The Voice = An Aboriginal House of Lords” but not sure how that will translate.

I was wandering through Bunning on Grik Easter today and its a bit quiet.
Passed the help desk and some old fella in a work apron is holding forth for a couple of kiddies.
He goes, “Dead set, when I was at primary school they used to deliver little milk containers every morning and leave them in the sun for a couple of hours before making us drink them”
A 30-something mole responds, “bull-tish Johnno, you are suuuch a lair!”
I couldn’t help it. I looked up and says “yeah, nah, true…they did”
With a you’re-both-taking-the-p155 look she says, “What the actual? Where exactly do youse codgers go to school?”
Johnno says, “yeah, used to be in little milk bottles, and then they switched to tetra packs … like Sunny-Boys
the kiddies are blank
I said, “and you get a ‘free’ Johnno, they cant even hear you”
Saw this comment on another site:
Cohenite, I have done so, after a good look at your ‘type’. You seem to go for women who look nothing like real women, but who have either worked out to excess on steroids to turn male, or trimmed and surgically shaped themselves into some sort of Barbie female, all in order to conform to some ideal that no woman in nature has. The Kardashian female has super-filled lips, silicon bum and breast breast inserts, evidence of liposuction around her stomach and is thin as a rake around her ribs and shoulders. She’s spent a fortune on that image as well as her skin and hair.
Half-starved and surgically mauled. Not sexy.
Erk.
The lime flavoured ones were always the last that we’d drink. Warm by then and excruciatingly disgusting.
I am on my knees grovelling in abject apology to Margaret (from Margaret and David) for all those years of sneering.
Her hit job on ‘Married at First Sight’ is outstanding compulsory viewing. (Micheal Smith today).
Sure, it is the ABC attacking a competitor, but it is fantastic. Viscious, foul mouthed, unforgiving, and given her facial expression, probably from the heart.
Granny finally beating up the bikie next door who has been kicking her cats for years.
Renoir and Rubens painted beautiful images of well-rounded well-fed women.
Botticelli perfected the image of the natural female face and form in good health.
Degas showed women in all of their deeply feminine grace.
All enticing for the male gaze.
The painters of the past knew where it was at.
And yet so many trannies are sporting not just a beard but a moustache as well. If you aspired to be a woman wouldn’t you want to look like one? That the beard and a moustache are worn by trannies tells me that these are no such thing but are rather pleased with their masculinity. What they want is intrusion into women’s spaces and to threaten the women there. It also tells me that people who accept their claims are worse than they are.
OMG, Mastermind.
“An aerial battle, fought entirely between aircraft of opposing sides, the Battle of Britain, was fought in which war?”

My husband loved all those programs and had great fun watching them. He was nice enough to watch them through the day and then let me choose what to watch in the evenings.

I’ve never watched “Married at First Sight”, however I’ve just watched Margaret’s smackdown and it’s a corker.
A small addition to my previous comment. My husband’s all time favourite program was The Pawn Stars and of course we had to visit the store when we were in Las Vegas in 2018.

For me it has to be Nights in White Satin. It was the song the band played on our first date in 1973, the dance was sublime. The cover band did a very good job.

I remember these from the early fifties. Never heard of flavoured milk in those days. Some of us used to look forward to them and drink any spares. This was the case if we didn’t take much lunch, sometimes none, or it was often thick stale bread, rancid butter and a smidgeon of jam which had all crusted together. Children from the ‘better’ homes away from the Commission Houses used to have greaseproof paper wrapped sandwiches of peanut butter, Vegemite, or sliced Devon, plus an apple or a banana, put into a small cardboard case with a single slip (not the Globite cases you got in high school). They often sat a bit away from the rest of us and swapped sandwiches. I had an old string bag with butchers’ paper wrapping saved from the meat; others came with just a paper bag which they had to take home to use again.
For a short period of only a few weeks some charity arrived, set up trestle tables, and served us free ‘Oslo lunches’ of fresh bread, butter and cold meats with lettuce and tomato; there was also a raisin and nut mix with honey, which I loved on the soft white bread. Heaven sent, but still no match for the meat pies we could buy from the cake shop up near the Mechanics Hall if we’d saved for one or mum gave us a treat. I had one just like it a Glenrowan on the way home from Bendigo. What the hell’s in this thing? queried Hairy about his as he peered at its contents. But I knew. It was pie meat.
“Half-starved and surgically mauled. Not sexy.”
Agree, and the surgically enhanced lips, which makes them look like a gothic freak from a horror movie.
omg … flavoured milk is pretty posh

As for the Kardashian…yuck!

No, sorry. I’m the one who is sorry. It was disgusting. Primary, early 1970’s.

They’re slow leaking this sort of data with their favourite left wing journalists. You have to ask why.
any chance of a link ?
Chocolate, strawberry and vanilla would all go first. Then, after a pause, banana. Lime was always last.
Senator Lidia Thorpe last night found herself effing and blinding as she left a Melbourne bar/ nightclub in an exchange with a group of young men. ‘Racists, effing racists’, lots of loud ‘Eff you, you c…ts’ and swirling melee of threats and profanity as she and her female friends pushed against a crowd of northern suburbs ethnics who were in no mind to defer politely to foul mouthed, graceless females. ‘I can’t believe someone like you is in parliament,’ one young bloke says in response to Thorpe’s screeched profanities in the 7 News report.
Funnily enough I can find that report nowhere now and there is no mention of the incident anywhere that I’ve seen. Certainly not on SBS or the ABC.

Looking at “The Voice = An Aboriginal House of Lords” but not sure how that will translate.
Try “The Voice – An Unelected Activist House of Lords”.

As for lime – I assume it is a synthetic flavour.

My God, what a slag she is, uncouth, foulmouthed, disgraceful. As one of the men said, “how the f*ck does someone get in parliament like you”. And then she threatens the men. I suppose the MSM will go quiet on her. Imagine if that was Pauline or Jacinta.
Australia 2023. Great country we live in.
All class:
Controversial independent senator Lidia Thorpe has been video delivering a profanity-riddled rant to a group of men outside a north Melbourne strip club early on Sunday.
The footage was captured on the pavement outside Maxine’s Gentleman’s Club at around 3am as Ms Thorpe was leaving the venue after celebrating a friends’ 50th birthday.
Ms Thorpe can clearly be seen pointing, swearing and trading insults with a group of men.
“You know what I say, to you, you know what I say to you and you …” she said, in the footage captured by 7 News Melbourne.
“Small penis, small penis.”
“You’re a racist dog,” one of the men replied.
Her friend can be seen pulling her away from the men and edging her closer to a taxi, not before screaming “how dare you say that to her.”
As she was ushered into the back of a waiting vehicle the independent senator gestured towards the group of men and shared a racially charged message.
“All I’ve got to say to the black brothers there and anyone that we’re fighting.”
“Any black man that stands with the f*** white little c*** like that, youse can all get f***** too”
One man replied by asking “how the f*** does someone get in parliament like you?”
“We’ve been oppressed all our f**** life in this country and you let this little dog speak” she said.
Before Ms Thorpe left the club, she appeared to have pulled out her phone and started recording the men still lingering on the pavement.
“You, you are marked,” she said.
In a response to the leaked video, Ms Thorpe claimed that the men had provoked her while she left the venue, taking aim at her Indigenous affairs views.
“It’s sad people are using whatever they can to drag me down when we’re trying to discuss important issues in this country,” she remarked in her statement.
This is not the first time this year that Ms Thorpe has attracted controversy.
Apparently ran on Channel 7 tonight.
My pleasure, Jorge.
Nambucca Heads public school 1970-72. Then Macksville High School. No free milk there though.
I have no idea who came up with the idea of giving out small bottles of flavoured milk to primary school students in the early seventies, but I really liked the chocolate ones when I could get in early enough.
Here’s the link to the Margaret smackdown.

We flavoured our own milk at home with Nestles Quick. I had chocolate and my sisters preferred strawberry.
You could buy straws with chocolate inside them for a while, stick them in plain milk but get chocolate milk in your mouth. We got school milk too, we all lived on dairy farms and were brought up on full cream milk, homemade butter and ice-cream, yet they still deliverd warm bottles of milk. The stupidity of it didn’t last too long however, I think our parents laughed the authorities out of the idea.
Ponder this, what would have happened to one of Ms Thorpe’s very distant Aboriginal female ancestors, pre-European settlement, if she’d screamed at a man accusing him of having a small penis.
I wonder how tribal law would have dealt with her?
You can thank the Greens for that.
Mind you, the alternative canddiate was Julian Burnside.
I think we need to platform Lidia Thorpe and let everyone hear her reasonable views.
God it’s a hag.

Nope – even I remember the little green bottles of lime flavoured milk.

On a bad day. Usually she hovers around the 13/13 level.
I’m not going to link any of hers in case my keyboard melts.
Both legs smashed, and left behind to die, when the tribe moved on?
Suffice to say that to call an indig lady person a ‘big hole’ is about the worst insult one can deliver.
That’s how they would have dealt with her. Prior to having her skull fractured and left for the meat ants.
Thank you, Steve. That was in March 2020 when we visited my elderly aunt in Louisiana, having been thrown off our Panama cruise due to Covid – not due to Covid on board, but due to the panic.
Yes, my natural boobies have always been an asset (there, I’ve said it again). Yet I was fairly under-developed myself until about fifteen or sixteen, when I blossomed. Still quite reasonable, even at eighty. That’s oestrogen HRT for you. Keeps everything firm. Bushie did say he didn’t really believe I was as old as I claimed, so that was a recent compliment at our Bendigo meet up. And I am never one to reject those, especially from a tall handsome farmer in a country checked-shirt and denim jerkin whom Hairy said was centre-row forward material.
I feel so sorry for the young girls today getting mastectomies due to gender confusions. Breast feeding a baby is such a joy that they’ll miss out on if they decide to get real again and return to being female.
Thanks for the reminder Shatterzzzz.

I don’t think the fair Lidia will be short of Press coverage for her little rant.
Some surfers do crazy shit in pursuit of the perfect wave.
Out on the fishing boat a few weeks ago and we got close in to shore on the way back.
The skipper points out these blokes scrabbling down steep cliffs, hanging on with one hand and the board under the other. They throw the board in from the last six feet or so and launch in after it. Apparently there is a reef about 200-300 metres offshore which consistently throws up a pretty good break. Even with a gentle swell elsewhere they were getting some epic waves.
But absolute madness getting in and out.
It was, I saw it.
Thorpe needs her own reality show, it would compete with MAFS.
By the way, I’m still waiting for the stupid effing Liberals to put up a motion to censure the slag Thorpe. I do recall how they willingly supported a motion to censure Bettina Arndt back in early 2020. Or is this more spinelessness from the Liberals and Nationals?
Well, thank goodness I missed that seemingly interminable moment in irredeemable idiocy.
I hate to say this but most of these Thorpe one-eight ‘Aborigines’ seem to resent that they’re not passably white.

I’m tempted to apply for a gig as her impromptu speech writer. After applying more nugget boot polish than Stan and Turdeauxm put together.
A Gentleman’s Club? With strippers? Or are they still called exotic dancers? I would have thought Lidia would disapprove of the exploitation. But then again her friendships indicate otherwise.
So if the ‘Voice’ gives us an aboriginal House of Lords, where will they sit? Is there another big chamber in Parliament House? Or will they sit out on the grass in front of Old Parliament House so they can punch on in peace and conduct other ‘cultural’ practices?
Seconded. “Help me Obi Wan Kenobi you’re my o…”.
