The platoons of the 39th Battalion under Sword and
Pentland, which had just reported at Alola after having been cut of
since the actions of the 27th, hurried back to form a reserve for Key
although they were hungry and sick . (“When I saw those poor bastards,
tottering on their bleeding, swollen feet, turn round and go straight back
to Isurava, I knew they were good,” said a member of the 2/16th Battalion
afterwards.) Lieutenant Johnston (without orders to do so) led forward
a party of physically unfit volunteers from the same battalion and reported
that he passed 53rd Battalion men on the way. He told Honner simply,
“We heard the battalion was in trouble so we came back” .
McCarthy p207
‘Victorian independent senator Lidia Thorpe has made allegations she was sexually harassed and assaulted at Parliament House, including in the Senate chamber, during her time as a Greens senator.
“It has been a very hard time for me in this place. I was sexually assaulted four times in my first six months,” Senator Thorpe said.
“People wonder why I get a little bit frustrated, but I’ve had to endure so much in my time in this place and that’s why I say it is a toxic workplace.”
The allegations come on top of claims that Senator Thorpe was bullied by members of the Greens, which was a major factor behind her decision to leave the party earlier this year.
Senator Thorpe confirmed her allegations of sexual assault and harassment were about Labor and Coalition parliamentarians, not members of the Greens.
She said she chose not to speak out at the time, but the Parliamentary Workplace Support Service (PWSS) were aware of her complaints.
“I didn’t want any action taken,” she said.’

Less time hanging around strip clubs, and more time devoted to your duties in the Senate?
I’ve noticed. Luckily it doesn’t sit at odds with the character she is playing so that seems OK.
Hairy likes the show for the way in which wheeling and dealing is seen as it is, a simple matter made complex if you let it be so, and often guided by things other than what appears to be the main game. Egos come into it so much, and I have listened to too much pillow talk with him about that sort of thing in years past to disagree with him. I’ve also been with him when certain things depicted, as in the show, happen out of the blue (as once when we were on holidays): a Chairman of the Board rings him and says we intend to get rid of TR, OK by you, and that’s just the way it is. Changes are often swift and sudden.
Our daughter currently works in this world of deal making. She and her father have much in common.
I agree Muddy.
Reading about Nathaniel Pepper he learned to read and write, he taught, he preached, he conducted church services, worked as a carpenter and farmer, was known for his kindness and charity, all the while dying of tuberculosis. His father’s the first generation to encounter colonialists.
Roger, Andrew Klavan is one of the most interesting people I think he was in his 40s when he converted to Christianity, now a deeply devout Christian, devoted to the faith. He has a youtube channel and does a Friday show for the Daily Wire which I look forward to listen to on Saturdays.
I bought Truth and Beauty for my older son for Christmas and have also bought When Christmas Comes and A Strange Habit of Mind as Christmas presents for my sister.
He has such interesting guests and his comments on matters of faith are inspiring. He also has a very very clever son Spencer Klavan (no relation he says) who is an assistant Editor at the Claremont Institute and has recently released a book How to Save the West: Ancient Wisdom for 5 Modern Crises
Thanks Tinta; I ordered his son’s book as well, as it happens.
I’ll have to reconnect with him online.

Well there we have it, Andrew Bolt just said that Lachlan Murdoch fired Tucker Carlson for thinking that he was bigger than Fox. Bolt thinks Fox will be bigger and better without Carlson. He also thinks criticising the Ukrainian war was the last straw for Murdochs.
Earlier, at 2.39:
I was going to ask what a ‘heeler’ was, but then I went to the source (Urban Dictionary):
So, and returning to the point:

Cages, +

I cannot believe what I am hearing Blot intone about Carlson.
Who could have foreseen Andrew Bolt being the Murdochs lapdog?
However, Sky at least acknowledged the ouster while Fox News simply ignores it.
Bolt is Dutch after all.
After the Mark Latham tweet uproar he has elected himself the Murdochs spokesperson.
On succession, it’s quite accurate in speech, clothes, dining etc. Having spent more than a decade in investment Banking & met examples of the B-class you can see the ones with serious money don’t need to prove anything while the kids are forever trying to stand out via their dress, jargon & lifestyles.

And if you had read carefully what I wrote, you would have noted that I gave full credit to the 39th for staying with the AIF who had at least nominally relieved them. You might regard giving them credit for their actions, while pointing out that they had help was “very precious”, I don’t. I just regard it as being truthful.

Some very interesting aspects of this morning’s ANZAC service at Harbord Diggers:
* The outgoing President of the RSL sub-branch was still bitter at the treatment meted out to him and other Vietnam veterans by the RSL in the 1970’s and 80s.
* The local primary school captain recited a 4-minute poem written by one of her classmates. She had notes in her hand but never looked at them once. Fantastic stuff, and the poem was very respectful and emotive.
* The Careflight helicopter which hovered overhead for a few minutes made a graceful salute of a change of flight angle before it departed. Noted by many.
* Most politicians who spoke made cautious references to The Voice. They didn’t belabour voting for it (well except for Zali Steggal)
* Three acknowledgements of the “traditional custodians” of the land was three too much.
* A flypast by a fast fighter jet from RAAF base Williamtown at touch-it,-its-just-above-your-head height was a highlight for so many kids and kids at heart. Booming sound, a loudly heralded approach over the ocean, deafening when overhead: a magnificent tribute to round out a great commemorative service.
Ah yes. The old ‘world game’ argument, used at length by screamytrans ball, aka soccer.
Population of Australia – 26,500,000. 95,000 at one match. 0.36% of the entire country’s population.

0.0013can’t count that low because the machine broke%.
Yes I put up Bolt’s article suggesting that Ukraine are somewhat shaming us to use the ‘Anzac spirit’, of mateship etc. In order to assist Ukraine.
Very bemusing

“Also, O’Reilly had that time spot before Carlson, and people then thought he (O’Reilly) was indispensable. Cemeteries are filled with people who thought they, or others, were indispensable.”
I agree everyone is ultimately dispensable however there’s a difference between O’Reilly’s departure and Carlson’s. Bill O’Reilly was brought down by a sexual scandal, accused of sexual harassment by several women. Tucker Carlson has been terminated because he speaks for middle America and he speaks truth to middle America. This made him dangerous and it made him a target of Washington scum such as Chuck Schumer . It’s telling because Schumer and co never agitated for O’Reilly’s departure, but they did for Tucker

BJ – Sorry, mate, but when a 2/16 guy says of the CMF “I knew they were good” then they were.
At what point did I say that they weren’t? My statement was that the CMF alone did not turn the Japanese back. Do you reject that statement?
Let me offer you one example of a very good CMF soldier, Sgt Bede Tongs of the 3rd Battalion. He commanded a platoon of the 3rd during the advance back to Kokoda. His company was to attack a Japanese position; Tongs discovered a Japanese MG post ideally sited to destroy the attack. Before the start of the attack, he crawled forward and destroyed the MG post with grenades, then ran back to his platoon. As he arrived, his company commander told him to “Get your platoon forward”. He did, and the attack was successful.
Bede Tongs received an MM for his actions in destroying the Japanese MG post.
I wonder is it possible that the settlement of the Fox. -v – Dominion suit might have had something in it about getting rid of Tucker Carlson? is it co-incidental that a week or so ago, outspoken and high rating Dan Bongino also left Fox suddenly, and now Tucker, is there a purge on?
We live in very interesting times.
“Andrew Klavan does some of the funniest, wittiest and cutting opening monologues you will hear.”
Yes, he’s got some. good writers, but he’d be much funnier if he read some of the jokes before he went live.
With a friend like Bolt, who needs an enemy. Though he did sterling work on the George Cardinal Pell travesty.
I’m interested in the referendum. If it gets up, we’ll know that touchy-feely stupidity has conquered the old hard bitten independent Aussie psyche. In which case, I don’t care what happens to the country. It’s headed for death and disaster, and that’s what it deserves.

The organisers of the “Comedy” Festival desperately trying to wriggle out from under criticism for a) removing Barry Humphries’ name from it and b) not restoring it when he died:
Festival director Susan Provan: pointed out that Humphries was not a founder of the festival, which had been established by John Pinder and others, and that the Barry award was never actually named after him.
She told Nine newspapers the Barry award had become synonymous with Barry Humphries, but it was “more about ‘Barry’ being a funny and iconic Australian comedy name”.
Interesting. Would be easy to find their reason at the time. Wiki disagrees:
History
It has been awarded since 1998, when it was introduced as the Stella Award. It was renamed in 2000 in honour of Barry Humphries, and again renamed in 2019 following comments about transgender people by Humphries.[1] It is generally regarded as the most prestigious award of the festival, and the winner receives a trophy and cash prize.[2]

I face racism in Senate every day: Thorpey
It has been said before, people scream racism when they have simply been called out as a dickhead.
Perhaps her quote should be, “I face being called out as a dickhead in the Senate every day.”
Gee I wonder who the sponsors and advertisers are? I’ll keep wondering not bothered to find out.
But yes there were other guys, like brevet Cpl McCallum of the 2/14th.
Mason’s men had taken part in four counter-attacks during
the afternoon, swaying and surging in bitter defence and counter-thrust .
In that platoon acting-Corporal McCallum had been the dominating
figure. Now, with a Bren in one hand, a Tommy-gun in the other, he
flailed his attackers from their very midst, covering the withdrawal of his
comrades, the Japanese literally reaching for him so that part of his equipment
was wrenched off in their hands as he smashed them down. His friends said that
he killed 40 Japanese and saved a third of the platoon before he himself came back.
Not fiction, that’s from the official war history. Bren in one hand, Tommy gun in ‘tother. Respect. Deservedly received the DCM for that particular effort.
(From the previous McCarthy link p207-8)
Judging by the last several years, Black Ball, most Australians don’t mind a little prick.
Bongino on Ray Epps, the fbi plant being interviewed on 60 cock sucks saying he said dumb things when the video of him exhorting folks to enter the capital, many times, and to tear down fences was shown. No further challenges to this bastard’s actions made by 60 shitheads; this is one of the premier examples of the double standard of justice in the US with many poor saps who took an invited stroll around the capital on Jan 6 still rotting in jail while an obvious agent provocueter like epps is being feted by the msm.

The 39th were heroes. Underdone, underequipped, underprepared yet tremendously led by Hyacinth (Ralph) Honner.
They blocked as best they could, but the kindest description you could give them was that they were saved by the regular Brigades before they all engaged in one of the great fighting retreats of all time.
One of those Brigades, the 25th, was led by Ken Eather:
And:

Eather was on the ground, in the appalling conditions all the time. No ‘gentle prodding’.
The 39th’s counterparts, the 53rd were led like shit and comported themselves accordingly.

And on the subject of Ken Eather he was – as befits someone leading a Brigade – a Brigadier, rather than a general as asserted earlier, on the OOT:
The reality:
Eather was promoted to Major-General in New Britain a fortnight before the war ended.

I disagree – we honor those who enlisted to serve this country, who did a dirty, filthy job that may have cost them their lives, and who, in too many cases, deserve better then they received from that country.

Pulsations
In 1962, Jack Oliver, a geologist at Columbia University, first noticed the earth had a “pulse” also known in geology lingo as a “microseism”. This discovery was put on the shelves and re-examined briefly in 1980 by Gary Holcomb and then fully examined in 2005 by graduate student Greg Benson at the University of Colorado.[15]
Later results revealed that the earth pulses every 26 seconds, but nobody is exactly sure why. Theories range from waves hitting the continental shelf to volcanic activity.
By using triangulation, they were able to locate the source of the pulse in the Bight of Bonny.[16]
Why did Tucker Carlson get the arse?

He said the 3rd nations soldiers fought harder for Australia than Australia fights for them.
What a f’cking c’nt.

‘Father’ Bob to get a State Funeral in Dannoland:
Especially his ‘service to the State.’ (my cap)
State Funerals, once a rare and reverential tribute to truly exceptional people, are now just pawns in political games about whose political views are officially approved of.
Disgusting.
One of Australia’s leading jurists has blasted the Albanese government’s proposed Voice to Parliament referendum, saying it is “wrong in principle” and will “split the Australian people permanently into two groups based on race.”
Terence Cole, a former judge on the NSW Court of Appeals who presided over two royal commissions, made the claims in a bombshell submission to a joint parliamentary committee on the Voice.
In the submission Mr Cole noted that the voice is just one part of the broader program of the Uluru Statement from the Heart, which calls for “treaty” and “truth telling” as well as a Voice to parliament, and which the Albanese government has accepted in its entirety.
“The voice is critical to the objectives made clear in the Uluru Statement … that Aboriginals wish to establish … sovereignty over Australian territory, ownership of Australian land and surrounding waters … monetary and other compensation … (and) truth telling,” he wrote.
“To achieve (these) objectives, it is necessary to split the Australian people permanently into two groups based solely on race … this is wrong in principle.”

It’s amusing to watch the poo-bahs of the Melbourne ‘Comedy’ Festival trying to walk the tightrope between the Qwerty fanatics and the death of that genius of comedy, Barry Humphries. Or is it sitting on a corrugated fence?
As Miriam Margoyles said, he had more talent in his little finger than the less than minor talents that infest that venue.

Using Anzac day for political ends is always pathetic.
Cohenite, I’m not arguing that some might be exaggerating massacre numbers, but massacres did happen.
Doesn’t matter, Australians of this century are not responsible for the sins of a small number of colonial settlers, convicts, soldiers and the decendants of aboriginal people need to stop demanding redress for the wrongs done to others, exaggerated or not.
We can probably all find victims of great injustice at the hands of this or that oppressor in our family trees.
That’s someone else’s story, not yours.
Whatever happened it was clearly not the policy of the British government that ruled various bits of Australia in the 19th century.
Amongst the bad was also a great deal of good but that doesn’t get much of a mention.
I don’t want a two track society, with one track locker in as victims in perpetuity, it’s a foundation for more bitterness and division.
Glad you are enjoying Braquo Shatrerazz, I must rematch it.

Thanks Tom.
Bolt was pathetic, wasn’t he. There really is a crisis in US politics, and what Bolt was describing as crazy stuff was entirely credible. The crazy ideas are that Biden really won the election fairly, that Putin wasn’t provoked by US/NATO expansion, that covid wasn’t corrupt, that the global warming garbage is a genuine climate crisis. We’ve got the choice of toeing the party line or being intensely sceptical of the good faith and integrity of the ruling class. I know where I stand, and it does not involve having faith in anyone, neither Tucker Carlson nor Joe Biden.
I am not sure who or what were responsible but how come the vote counting stopped at the same time in three states Trump in lead and when it resumed majority votes were for Biden . This summary of what happened is what started investigations of who controlled the machines.

I wonder if this will get past the censors on Janet A’s article in today’s Australian?
Tucker Carlson
I have to say that Tucker Carlson is right, this isn’t politics in the usual sense. And calling it a battle between good and evil makes more sense. Not much, but more. But I don’t think ten minutes of prayer a day is going to cut it.
Clearly a flamer.
Are you referring to me, Gabor? You have an excellent memory.
The scene – Angkor Wat. The weather – drizzle laced with that humid steaming fog that only tropical jungles can produce. The cast – four tourists, including me in one of those stupid cling wrap ponchos of horror. We had traipsed around that marvellous site for a few hours, steadily getting hotter and wetter and feeling like microwaved vegetables.
Keen to leap into the minibus, glasses misted, I slipped off the greasy first step and landed bottom first in a brown puddle. No damage done – except to my dignity. Having produced my first child to a labour room packed to the gills with medical and nursing students, I had little enough of that left anyway.
Tucker Carlson’s firing is a joke.
A sociopath refused a promotion sues his producer. He gets blamed.
He says the Treasury Dept official telling people to get abortions in case of a bad economy is like the Aztecs.
In his last show, he called out the media especially Fox for being greedy and censoring opinion over advertising dollars.
In the Oz this morning:
Im still waiting for Wayne Swan’s ‘three years of surpluses I announce tonight…’.
Lets face it, we are well into the ‘democracy is always temporary because, sooner or later, the people discover they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury’ phase of things.
We are now so far down the moral, and physical hole that financial collapse is a mathematical certainty. Neither ‘side’ of the uniparty has any intent of, ever, being fiscally responsible because the voters dont reward it. We are sooooo screwed.
Too late. ANZAC Day is a joke.
Job offer!
OAN Founder Says He’d Pay Tucker Carlson $25 Million To Join Network (26 Apr)
If OAN can get Tucker on board it’d be nice if there’d be a mass migration from Fox to OAN. The pundits on the other hand actually think Tucker leaving will be good for advertising revenue. Somehow I don’t think so.
First they tried to kill off Anzac Day, and when that didn’t work, they took it over.
And also in the Oz:
This is a huge train rushing at us, and NOT for what it will do to the movie industry. The bigger implication is what it will do for state power and trust.
We already have an increasingly ubiquitous ‘surveillance’ state, and are habituated to ‘surveillance vision’ being used to catch criminals. Its only a short time until the state can actually *produce* that vision to order – no longer will the deep state need the ‘goat videos’ to keep their chosen political functionary in line, or to blackmail them into silence – they will simply manufacture them as needed- Trump gaining traction amongst the black voters? voila, heres the ‘project veritas’ style recording of him in a restaurant confessing to the Ku Klux Klan leader its all a con to keep the black man down. Etc etc etc.
The response to this will be three-fold:
1) An ever bigger central power grab by govt and their big media confreres to ‘curate’ the news – ‘If you see it here you can trust it’ etc.
2) Introduction of sign – in credentials for internet users – using your ‘digital ID’ of course. Oh and if you dont want a digital ID, you wont have internet priviledges.
3) A return to good old face to face communications – you will trust your own lyin eyes only – a form of Taliban style ‘the cure for high tech is low tech’ response to electronic surveillance of their coms.
Interesting times, and sure to yield ‘unintended consequences’.
Come on Duk, don’t you believe the modelling?
Treasurer Jim Chalmers could balance national budget in nine years (Sky News, 25 Apr)
I did actually laugh out loud when I saw that story yesterday. Maybe PwC is touting for business or something.
I could balance the budget today. They just don’t want to cut spending.
I could balance it in the electoral cycle without major cuts.
Lets say he could – how long to pay down the debt that has accrued?
Buy gold and bitcoin – everything else is going to be hoovered up by an increasingly desperate government.
Entropy, it has become a sideshow. Or maybe the solemn, commemorative part of ANZAC Day is the sideshow and the main game is the rank commercialisation and breast beating and pseudo-religious valourbabble.
Everyone wants a piece of an old soldier, as if their remains were that of a long-dead saint. Such is the shallowness of our times.
I found Tucker Carlson to be annoying and flip, but I guess faking it 5 nites a week isn’t easy.
Was he a Spook?
Well, it ran in the family, so, probably.
Hello.
Most of the comments have touched on it and it’s a doozy.
Just remember this little people.
Bolt quote
“You are never bigger than the media organization that actually made you.”
She was too incompetent to be promoted under Bartiromo. She was a vile anti Christian who turned off Christmas lights of her coworkers (so she’s a bigot, this is not normal behaviour). Carlson isn’t being sued, his producer is. The timeline suggests she filed her claim after she was moved on.
I’m wondering if the coming AI industry will put the likes of accountants and solicitors out of work..?
Given how law is data and precedent based, it could create a cheap way for people to be represented in court by an AI.
I remember watching the marches on black and white TV when I was a little kid.
Row on row on row of World War One and Two veterans.
Dad marched before he got married he said, but never after.
My family’s last WWII veteran died last year, we have one former soldier and one currently serving in the family.
I’m not going to anything where I might have to sit though an ‘acknowledgement’ or a welcome to my own country or any other pap and platitude.
The elites and MSM may not want to address it but the ordinary voters do sound like they believe the election was stolen.
Majority Of US Voters Think ‘Cheating’ Affected Outcome Of 2022 Midterm Elections (25 Apr)
The 2024 election will be fun to watch. Will Biden crack 100 million “votes” this time?
Gold will be made illegal FDR style when the full blown credit crisis starts…
I guess you can still trade fold and silver for barter with people though.
I would also add stockpiling a few hundred litres of diesel for anyone that has the space and uses a diesel vehicle.

Jimmy Carter reportedly considering throwing his hat in the ring.
Hmmmm…
As an undead liche, is Biden more popular than his rival, Nagash, Supreme Lord of the Undead?
Biden: Minions rig elections, use his corpse as a puppet.
Nagash: Uses minion’s corpses as puppets or minions act as minor sorcerers in his schemes, tries to get Vampire elector counts.
A backgrounder on a guy who had better grades than Biden in College:
https://warhammerfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Nagash
She was too incompetent to be promoted under Bartiromo. She was a vile anti Christian who turned off Christmas lights of her coworkers (so she’s a bigot, this is not normal behaviour)…
So, why did Carlson hire her in the first place?
[There’s a discussion at Unz Review with 219 comments]
Ditching the stage 3 tax cuts would go a long way to repairing the Liberals’ spiralling deficits.
One hundred million may not be enough to “fortify” SloJo’s re-election.
Quoting the Unz Review as proof of antisemitism…
It is too early to be this silly.
We know how much you love paying tax, monty.
Apologies. I misread an earlier comment by m0nty-fa.
I thought he wrote that he offered Tucker C his ample arse, but was turned down because Tucker is not a Flamer.
ABC asks ex-Clinton advisor if Biden is “up to it”
Can you guess the answer?
No prizes.
Bitcoin, I’m too keen on, but gold was a saviour to my French ancestors as I read the family history.
Sure, you have to barter and get the best offer and the man to do a deal with*, and you are being screwed in the process but still better than starving.
Surprising how laws and policing worked in old times, why, you could just rob people couldn’t you?
Yet it allowed folks to transfer money in form of gold.
We think of law and order as a new invention.
* there is always a man to deal with, in any situation
Yes it may be, but it wont stop people using it, just as making ‘speeding’ or crystal meth illegal didnt.
Whilst governments *will* attempt to shut down vehicles for avoiding the inflationary skim, the real reason gold was made illegal in the 30s was because the US was still on a gold standard and needed to ‘call it in’ so the government had access to it for printing currency. They dont need to do that now, and superannuation is a far bigger honey pot than the miniscule gold holdings of the average punter.

Ditching Labor’s NDIS would go a long way to rectifying Labor’s previous economic sabotage.
PS, if you think taxes are too low, you can donate (that’s not the same as donut) directly to the ATO.
The Grauniad grauniads.
Biden’s second term (and he’ll surely get one) will be life imitating art. I’m thinking the “bug” in Men in Black wearing the human skinsuit.
Bit by bit it deteriorates and rots, finally revealing the automaton beneath.
