Melamine is a type of noxious plastic coating, no?

Nitrogenous toxic chemical that the Chinese notoriously used to fake tests for protein* content of baby powder. Which is why Chinese people still strip local supermarket shelves of that product to send back to China.

(* The tests were for nitrogen content. Protein contains nitrogen, but melamine contains a lot more of it and is much cheaper than protein for achieving the required N content. That it is poisonous didn’t stop the Chinese producers from saving a few pennies this way, which says a lot about Chinese entrepreneurial peoples.)

The interesting thing is that almost half of the attending public were from the subcontinent as were quite a number of the cadets. Obviously they are very patriotic and don’t have a problem with our history.

16,000 Indian soldiers went in against the Turks in the Dardanelles campaign alone. Over 1600 were killed – 10% is well above the average for any army in any campaign, and multiples more were wounded.

The locating of the Montevideo Maru, sunk in July 1942, added a bit of poignancy to a clean up of out local war memorial.
One of the soldiers on the memorial died on that ship and his nephew was helping me chip weeds and wash down the plinth and plaques.
He talked through the whole story of his uncle before and during the war and how his grandmother didn’t know what had happened to her boy until 1945.
Not forgotten on that day or today.

You can’t free slaves, they have to want to be free. I guess some people like being a servant to a master.

‘War criminals circle the MCG !’

The original massacre was supposed to have been carried out, in 1841 – … by a party of police and settlers, in the Lake Minninup region of Western Australia.
Initially, “Dozens” of Aborigines were supposed to have been murdered, then the claim was made that two hundred had been killed.
The “West Australian, of some months ago, carried an article, which I posted here, citing one of the tribal elders as claiming eight hundred Aborigines had been murdered.

So, though you won’t provide any origin for the claim, you’re still going to use it as a Strawman for your own baseless claims?

Back from escorting my old and bold ex-Navy neighbour to the Dawn Service and march.

There was a big crowd at the Brisbane service at Anzac Square despite the miserable weather. All ages and backgrounds; like me, there to pay respect to those citizens, past, present and emerging, who put their arses on the line for us.

16,000 Indian soldiers went in against the Turks in the Dardanelles campaign alone. Over 1600 were killed – 10% is well above the average for any army in any campaign, and multiples more were wounded.

What’s this in aid of?
8,709 Aussies out of 50,000 died at Gallipoli, 17.4%, but you’re babbling about Indians on Anzac Day?

It is an article of faith that all cats should be caged and thrown in rivers.

I asked why rabbits (and long tailed rabbits) weren’t used for bait anymore and was informed the hair stays in the digestive system of the crays a bit too long.

05:32 Bill to Ban China from Buying U.S. Land, Property

Why now? Why not years ago when the rat stunk to high heaven. I thought Australia was the stupidest country on the planet giving the Chinese a head start here. Well, Australia is far from alone and not only the US let the Chinese through the front door, the UK too and a heap of other Western countries. No wonder Pooh is pissing himself laughing.

Just to get your slant on this. Is RFK a flamer?

That’s a good question.
We know he was[?] a heroin addict, and since the 2 things usually go together, that’s tentative “Yes”.
Then there’s the 4 marriages.

Alwaysright:

Just for KD. I used to have a cat whose hobby was tearing up heelers within an inch of their life.
A good animal.

I also had a cat – two of them in fact.
Fatso and Buddy.
Bloke across the road had about four pig dogs.
My two would occasionally wander over at night and stroll along the fence above their heads, taunting the poor damn things. They’d go off for hours.
Kept telling the cats that one day they’d get their just desserts, and sure enough, one night they did.

m0nty=fa, m0nty=fa

Qld Native Police roamed the State for 20 years killing any nomadic Aborigines they found.
Attacking at first light was the preferred method.
It’s all recorded in writing, look it up.

Provide an actual reference, either documents in archives, or a reliable website.

You can look it up, but I don’t give a F..k either way.

That would be ed-Mong feculating figures again.

How many joined the military so that Uncle Sam would pay for the treatment?
Irrelevant, since it goes with the territory.
That’s why they had a Draft in WW2, if they hadn’t, we’d be speaking Japanese and wearing a kimono.

US has spent around 15million in 5 years on surgical and chemical mutilation of its own troops, as well as keeping them in “therapy”.
Apparently that doesnt cover everyone.

President Joe Biden reversed the policy on his fifth day in office, Jan. 25, 2021.

The Pentagon’s annual medical budget for health care programs in 2016 was $33.5 billion; the proposed fiscal 2022 budget calls for $35.6 billion in discretionary spending for health care.

GOP Gov. Jim Justice set to launch bid for Joe Manchin’s Senate seat in West Virginia this week (24 Apr)

West Virginia’s Republican Gov. Jim Justice is gearing up to launch a 2024 Senate campaign this week, mounting a possible challenge to Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin in one of the country’s most important Senate races, a Republican source close to the governor told CNBC on Monday.

Bye Joe. Maybe you will need surgery for all that fence sitting you did.

Bruce of Ncl

Didn’t work then either: the CMF/AAR were the guys who turned back the Japs in the Owen Stanleys. Lest we forget their pain and misery in doing so, this ANZAC Day.

Errr, no. The 39th Battalion fought well to delay the Japanese, but the actual turn back was by first the 21st Brigade, who arrived at Isurava to relieve the 39th, who bravely stayed with the AIF during the retreat, and the 16th, 21st and 25th Brigades, which with the 30th Brigade, took the battle to the Japanese, and pushed them aback.

Was 800 a normal sized indigenous grouping?

Only Zulu knows who made that claim, he’s being very quiet on it’s origins.

He has already provided a source, but Grandpa Ed Simpson is too blind to be able to read it.

Cate McGregor used to appear regularly on Sky. In fact, had own show. I wonder what happened there? Another Alan Jones type incident?

What an awesome woman.

Chicago workers who refused the Kung Flu prick get the last laugh.

A judge has dropped the hammer on Chicago officials by ruling that all city workers who were fired for refusing to get vaccinated for Covid must be reinstated.

Administrative Law Judge Anna Hamburg-Gal also ordered the city to compensate the fired workers for lost wages and benefits.

The judge ruled that Democrat-led Chicago violated the Illinois Public Labor Relations Act by enforcing a vaccine mandate on city employees.

Tax payers are going to love paying for that. Too bad it wasn’t announced before Chicago elected an even worse Marxist moron as Mayor.

Rice was a domestic Advisor to Biden, she’s probably jumped ship before it’s too late.
RFK Jr announcing 11 months before the 1st Primary is a good indication that Biden’s time is up.

Well, if you transitioned Bear, i’d have no problem with your Pronouns.

Oh, whilst I can post again… the Long Tan documentary (here I do not insert a link!) is outstanding. Watched it again last night via Foxtel, and still makes my hairs stand on end.

Its price list mentions estimates of $140,450 to transition from male to female, and $124,400 to transition from female to male.

lol. It’s like haircuts. Always more expensive to be a woman.

My latest reading just now was about the Rafwaffe.
I don’t know of any Australians in that unit, but the story is very interesting!

I’m up to 2km of walking agony. Not quite as bad as childbirth, but close.

I cannot imagine the terror of being trapped and knowing your death by drowning is just moments away

Apparently they were singing auld lang syne as it went down to the blokes in the hold.

There were more POWs in the water than crew members. The POWs were holding pieces of wood and using bigger pieces as rafts. They were in groups of 20 to 30 people, probably 100 people in all. They were singing songs. I was particularly impressed when they began singing Auld Lang Syne as a tribute to their dead colleagues. Watching that, I learnt that Australians have big hearts.

—?Eyewitness Yoshiaki Yamaji, interviewed October 2003

My point being to illustrate that official policy was NOT ‘kill anything you want of a darker colour’ as has been (and still is) being portrayed.

Uh huh.
Official Policy in Sydney wasn’t much regarded on the frontier, though, that never occurred to you?
Look, stupid, there were debates in the House Of Commons over atrocities committed in Australia, yet you’re demanding the wheel be reinvented in 2023 to suit your murky agenda?

How much does it cost for gender reassignment surgery?
Its price list mentions estimates of $140,450 to transition from male to female,

I don’t think I’ll bother. I could get a lot of cigars for that kind of dosh.

Why would a voting masheen even exist if it wasn’t there to corrupt yours and many other’s vote?

Rabz – It’s a very culturally American sort of thing. Cutting edge and all that. The AEC and their voting pencils are actually superior but not sufficiently technonerdy for an American.

The news today that no less than seven previous CIA heads are involved in censoring and monstering conservatives is pretty good support for the Hammer and Scorecard hypothesis.

Ta.

The series is really annoying as the dialogue is really try-hard cool. Folks don’t really talk like that, rich or even richer.

It’s probably over-emphasised for the US market, JC, but the Silicon Valley and certain media types do have a particular mode, which they can turn on and off. Biden’s ‘c’mon man’ is a feeble echo of it. Around the dot-com madness period 1999-2005 I met a few of them in the US on visits with Hairy, who held some IT guru status at that strange time. We were put up (by Microsoft) in some great hotel suites, and duchessed a bit. Hairy was researching at the international forefront of VOIP and wireless technology in those days. Unlaced shoelaces and dressing down were also big. As was profligate spending of other people’s money, pouring into startups that would never fly, although some did, and massively so. Also my friend of long ago, who married wealth and lived in a mansion in Bel Air where we visited her, moved in the Hollywood set, who also did that ‘cool’ talk. As she had learned to do. I think it has got even more pronounced since then. You’ll note that the older guys in Succession, the lawyers and advisers and general business people, don’t go on like that. It’s mainly the spoiled yoof.

the original article about Lake Minipin massacre was published in the Perth Gazette on March 13 1841. I guess it’s probably true dozens were killed.

Read it carefully, it is actually a forecast of an event to happen 40 years later. Ask Grandpa Ed Simpson, he’ll confirm this.

should be >..capital gains tax free housing ..

However, this will soon change, for they are slavering already about putting a cap on capital gains tax free homes, just as they are also looking hard at inheritance taxes.

They are going to squeeze us like lemons until the pips squeak. As it were.
