The rumours about Charlie being a Muslim have been kicking around for at least two decades. I don’t think the fact he’s spent much of his life slavering over Islam. He’s the CofE boss. It’d be heretical for him not to.
I reckon most of the CofE higher-ups believe God=Government, so there’s perfect alignment there.

with canbra under new management they would override scomo’s beltin’ road ban right?

It’s always the way, though. When you get a mother murdering her kids, the news is always accompanied with ‘what could have possibly driven her to do this’-type articles. But when it’s a bloke committing the same evil, it’s always he’s a monster, that’s why.
I don’t necessarily mind these people being depicted as monsters, but there needs to be consistency. Women are perfectly capable of murdering their children in horrific circumstances. I want to know what drives them to do it, sure. But I also want to know what drives men who commit the same crimes to do it, too. The problem is that, in a lot of cases, an honest investigation into why men do such things is going to turn up politically unpalatable background information.
He’s spend much of his life slavering over islam?

Victoria’s top jockey, Jamie Kah (59 wins in 2022-23), is still leading the Melbourne jockeys premiership and will most likely win it, even though she hasn’t ridden for two months after a serious race fall and probably won’t resume race riding for another month.
The good news is that the first serious fall in her career hasn’t put her off and she’s busting to return to the saddle. Kah is waiting to undergo testing that confirms she has fully recovered.
Go, Jamie. The world’s most magnificent (and dangerous) sport needs you.

i think the shakedown was in two phases

the plan was to come back triumphant with bags of chunky money and save the jerbs
hunchback hit up elbow and jug-ears to re-open the beltin’ road stuff but they canned it
so hunchback then tries to soak elbow for federal cesh
pretty hard for elbow to throw $380 billion at subs because china threat then tick off monster borrowings from peking
interesting that viktorianistan hasn’t even got crumbs from the table in submarine work
i reckon our aukus partners had a hand in that because of hunchback being in xi’s pocket

I’d like to thank the fat fascist fool mUnty for giving me the opportunity to highlight the connections between the Labor Party and public school teachers and the evils of paedophilia. Also for giving me the opportunity to highlight the connections between people of a leftard political persuasion and the grooming of their own children (using the Hewitt case as an example).
That he ignored all of my comments did not reduce their visibility, but only served to highlight his inability to provide a rational response.
Thanks again, fat fascist fool.
HB, when I was young and even more stupid than I am now, my dream was the TT, nowdays I doubt I have the balls. Wanneroo was ok, a bit hairy in places but ok. I did Bathurst in 78(?) on a TZ250, couldn’t bring myself to fully commit to the top of the mountain, some of those blokes had watermelons where I have split peas.
Maybe an intolerance to gluten caused this piece of shit to murder her kids. Let me consult Wikipedia
On the subject of Blue Cards and children……
My eldest daughter volunteers for “Reading with Dogs” – a program for young kids with reading difficulties. She takes our best behaved Border Collie to the school and the kids read stories to the dog and it seems to help the kids with their confidence and fluency of reading aloud. A teacher is also present to help the kids as necessary.
In any event, our daughter had to get a ‘Blue Card’ to allow her onto school property and interact with the children. Even the dog wears a special ‘coat’ that designates him as an authorised animal.
(copied from website) In Qld, a Blue Card check is more than a police check. It looks for a charge or conviction for any offence in Australia, even if no conviction was recorded (this includes spent convictions, pending and non-conviction charges); child protection prohibition orders (both respondents and subjects to the application); disqualification orders; orders or findings under the Child Protection (Offender Reporting and Offender Prohibition Order) Act 2004 or Dangerous Prisoners (Sexual Offenders) Act 2003; disciplinary information from certain organisations (this includes information about teachers, childcare licensees and foster carers); domestic violence information; other information about the person that is relevant to deciding whether it would be in the best interests of children to issue a Blue Card; and police investigative information relating to allegations of serious child-related sexual offences, even if no charges were laid.
My point is that if my daughter needed a Blue Card so children can read stories to our dog in a classroom setting, it is reasonable that anybody else who interacts with kids under the auspices of the Education Dept or in a formalised ‘educational’ setting (however that may be), also needs a card.

Probably better odds than for iatrogenesis.
I cannot agree. I think Charles is definitely taking his cues from his mother on this and taking his accession seriously. Recall that he was also a very serious young man when participating in his formal Investiture as The Prince of Wales. Queen Elizabeth the Second most definitely took her coronation vows and the coronation anointment seriously, seriously enough to have that moment barred from public gaze, as a personal religious moment between a monarch and God. Charles has also barred a public view of this. I don’t think this is grandstanding, nor seeking something that is not his due.
I have always thought that liturgy is not just ‘mere words’ for believers and I cannot see that Charles has a lack of belief, having been brought up a Christian himself. In spite of his declared interest in all faiths, he is also taking an oath to be a defender of The Faith.

Bit surprised at that (motor racing) so did a very quick search. Base jumping, Indian Jallikattu (taming a wild bull), boxing, bull riding and others list before motor racing. Even soccer has higher incidence of injury, albeit not life threatening, than motor sport.
In fairness I’m talking about cars – those guys at the Isle of Man are certifiable.

Catching my “Refugee Flight” this evening.
A refugee from the human rights violations and gross stupidity of Australian Governments and Bureaucrats. A refugee from a country so full of stupid people that the grotesque imbeciles that inhabit the political landscape keep getting elected.
A fresh start in a place that underscores the grimy and dismal communism with drag, of Australia and Victoria in particular.

A serial sex offender who exposed themself to a Darwin high school student as he waited before class “has taken away his feeling of safety at school”, a court has heard.
Tony Apuatimi, also known as Madonna Apuatimi, pleaded guilty in the Supreme Court to indecent exposure after repeatedly approaching the 15-year-old boy in March last year.
The court heard the boy was waiting outside his school about 8.50am on March 3 when Apuatimi began asking him “personal questions of a sexual nature”.
When the boy continued texting on his phone, Apuatimi told him to look at them and when he did, they were licking their lips and had pulled down their pants and started masturbating.
The boy walked away but then saw Apuatimi enter the school grounds and drink from a bubbler before leaving the area.
Almost two weeks later, Apuatimi returned to the school about the same time of day and again began asking the boy sexual questions about pornography and asked him to show them his penis.
The boy discreetly photographed Apuatimi on his phone before running away and reporting the incidents to school staff, who alerted the police, and Apuatimi was arrested on March 22.
In sentencing Apuatimi to two years in prison, suspended after 14 months, Justice Jenny Blokland said the boy had been in “a great deal of shock and was scared” by the offending.
“He was embarrassed and very ashamed,” she said.
“He worried about how this would make his mum feel, he felt angry and disgusted, he trusts people less, the offending has taken away his feeling of safety at school.”
Justice Blokland said Apuatimi, who identifies as a sistergirl — which was “sometimes termed ‘third gender’” and “would not have been an easy life” — had “experienced significant hardship throughout your life”, and had multiple prior convictions for sexual offending against children as young as 13.
“Being homeless and exposed to high levels of violence, disorder and substance use escalates your disinhibition (and) exposes you to being procured for sex, which reinforces your notion that being disinhibited and sexual is rewarded, financially or by other substances,” she said.
“Your minimisation of (your) offending is of concern … as is your seeming indifference to the impact of your offending on your victims — you told many professionals that your victims appeared to be asking you for sex.
“You have said you assumed the victim was over 18 — which is not accepted by the Crown nor the court — this is an example of your minimising the offending or normalising behaviour that the community finds confronting and is illegal.”
After much research, I have found Munty’s place of work. No wonder he was off air for a few days.

No. That is misanthropic beyond reason. A bad mistake for a declared practitioner of reason.
I prefer to look at it as something that stems from our human evolution. We seek some reassurance that our lives here and our societies too are not meaningless. Deism is part of that, a belief system which is socially expressed through a human mediator – originally a Priest King. Kingship simply retains the comforting elements of that symbiotic relationship, these days removed from the political fray. That removal of kingly political power, the constitutional aspect of monarchy, has been arrived at by a long social and intellectual process. Made not by slaves, but by reasoning beings, those who held the centre as the edges frayed, for humans are a squabbling lot when reason departs.
Never forget that kings could also be killed. Then once more it was long live the king.

I understand Charles will be taking the same oath as his mother. Defender of The Faith, not the one he floated some years ago as Defender of Faith (whoever she is).
Perhaps the pushback was a bit too fierce. So much importance in the definite article.
Agreed.
There’s a greater perceived security in submitting. Perhaps it’s an energy-saving measure?
As to the aliens:
I suspect it was more of the case that they approached one of our politicians, who bit an alien (the wound became infected with some horrendous bacteria), and they panicked: face masks, social distancing, and quarantine for everyone on the spaceship home. (They ejected the infected alien somewhere over the central Pacific Ocean, just as a precaution).
Apparently, the Australian Olympic Committee think it’s important that they publicly state their position on the Voice. Why would we care? The AOC, as an entity, doesn’t get a vote. Only registered voters do and none of them are corporations. If the individual members of the AOC want to state their personal positions, that is up to them – it has nothing directly to do with the AOC.
The Australian Olympic Committee (AOC) has announced its intention to support the “yes” vote in this year’s national referendum on an Indigenous Voice to Parliament. Speaking at the AOC’s Annual General Meeting on Saturday morning, Australia’s Olympic chief Ian Chesterman announced the organisation’s official position on the constitutional recognition of Aboriginal voices.
“We did not take this decision lightly as we know there will be those within the Olympic movement who will vote ‘no’ and we respect their right to do so.” In a statement released this morning, the AOC revealed the verdict was reached on Friday following a joint meeting of the Executive and the Athletes’ Commission.
“We believe that a Yes vote continues this nation’s path down the vital road to reconciliation,” Mr Chesterman said. “That’s a road the AOC is very firmly committed to through its Reconciliation Action Plans (RAP). “
Wait…. here comes the payback. We are supporting this so more munny please.
At the meeting, Mr Chesterman also called on the government to increase funding for sport to ensure peak performance from Australian athletes at the 2032 Summer Games in Brisbane.

It is interesting how the passage of time modifies and reshapes beliefs. From late teens I formed the view that Australia had outgrown its subservience to the British monarchy. It simply seemed of no relevance to a young nation forming its own history. Personally, I also found it offensive to be required to bow to a foreign monarch.
However, many years of observing Queen Elizabeth’s extraordinary devotion to duty quite mellowed my feelings. In an age in which narcissism and poor behaviour in politicians and public figures is rife, that woman was a model of quiet virtue. Of course the behaviour of many of her children did little to enhance the image of royal families.
But the strength of an institution which can unite a nation without diminishing the freedom and rights of its subjects deserves some respect.

re SFW at 3.57 pm:
I think your idea of making it too difficult to get logs in order to stifle wood fires is correct.
In earlier days (say 10 years plus) there were still accessible areas for public collection but now the areas allocated are often on steep roadsides with little fallen timber.
We can get about half our supply from our own block. The crazy thing is the roadsides keep piling up with fallen timber.
I’m starting to agree with those unkind souls, who say “reconciliation” consist of Whitefella endlessly grovelling, apologizing and begging for forgiveness, while certain other elements have their hands out, demanding more.
Wouldn’t it be great if a bunch of sports administrators came out and said the Voice was a matter for individual Australians. Of course, while most are more dependent on Taxpayer funding than a teenage single mother, the chances of that are about zero.
So you are saying it is the mothers of young children who are the real enemy of Western civilisation, because you reckon you could parent their kids better than they could.

I’ve really only become anti the monarchy in the last few years- things like their antagonism towards Brexit (not the Queen) and their cozying to elitist leftist causes. In the Australian context, since I was a teenager, I found the “Republicans” (which they weren’t at all) like Donald Horne and Michael Trumble insufferable and offensive just like the current ones. So I still support the monarchy but only because the so called republican push in Australia is really spiteful narcissism and attempt to repudiate our heritage. I’ve always thought the Queen herself was a great lady and her children are not worthy successors (starting to warm to Anne- maybe).
of course trannies do a WWC
you can hardly set foot in a school without one
the system was built so that there are no exceptions
the intent being of course, to keep perverts away from kiddies.
however, the system wasn’t built with checks and balances to prevent corruption from within.
it’s very plain that the bureaucracy has been subverted to allow selected and privileged access to the kiddies … by whoever they say … just not youse
it’s about f’ken time you lot recognized exactly how this stuff works
it aint about the kiddies
it aint about the pedos
it IS a show of power
the system is being bastardised to deliver political aims
all the systems are
you might as well be living in post revolutionary Russia
Historic moment that will stick in the memory, just like the Moon landing and Dom Sheed’s last minute goal in the 2018 AFL Grand Final.
And Gary Lineker’s headed goal in the 1991 FA Cup Final at the old Wembley Stadium in London with Spurs v Forest. Except that the winning goal came off of the head of the Forest defender Des Walker.
As the Spurs Supporters sang – There’s only one Des Walker, only one Des Walker. One Des Walker, there’s only one Des Walker, one Des Walker, there’s only one Des Walker. Poor sod.
I feel a bit of cultural stealing might be ok for this event i.e. let Lidia and family demonstrate disapproval by showing their derrieres in public like Mari do as a traditional form of protest.
G&T Cassie. A good one.
Also, taking in the chariot race before the Westminster action.
I miss our old pal Pickles.
Katy Perry at the coronation?
It seems as a performer she’s allowed to attend the service.
The selfish cow is wearing a hat like a flying saucer that will guarantee those around her miss the spectacle.
I’d ban women wearing hats in church and all Americans just on principle.
I really think Thorpe is modelled on AOC. US No. 1 export- bad ideas.
Yesterday I was given some flowers, the arrangement consisted mainly of roses but also some dahlias. I had an immediate allergy reaction to the dahlias, and it has been atrocious for the last 24 hours. Yesterday and last night, nonstop sneezing and my face swelled up. On my way home last night, I chucked the dahlias and I took an antihistamine but the pill didn’t work, the allergy has been shocking. I sneezed for hours. I took panadol before I went to bed that worked…slightly. Anyway, I’m only feeling a little better tonight.
I never knew dahlias caused such allergy carnage.
Have you noticed that much of the pomp and ceremony that you guys approve of involves funny hats? There’s the religious, headed by the archbishop of Canterbury, with an enormous pointy hat in pretend gold, there’s the soldiery with impractical helmets, and finally the climactic moment of the occasion when Charley gets a funny hat bedecked with jewels put on his head.
Without the funny hats, where would it be?
… and all Americans, why? Because of the war of independence? If so, that’s one big generational grudge.

Thanks, dover, I asked last night why drag queens are so interested in this activity.
There are dozens of groups who have a different, sometime weird views not aligned to that of with main stream society, yet they are not seeking access to children.
Why is it always the sexually deviants who do this?
You’re pathetic,mOron. Really sick and pathetic. Your aggressive defence of perverts and their cool, modern, enlightened , woke supporters is clear to everyone. You are clearly advocating for the grooming of kids. A cornerstone of your leftist dogma.
The mothers (or fathers) who take their impressionable young kids to be exposed to these thinly disguised grooming sessions are engaged in child abuse.
That’s exactly what I’m saying, mOron. You can spin it all you like.
“We, the undersigned, call on the British monarch King Charles III, on the date of his coronation being May 6, 2023, to acknowledge the horrific impacts on and legacy of genocide and colonisation of the Indigenous and enslaved peoples.”
With 39 Billion Dollars of Australian Taxpayer money a year now, if you are not smart enough to use it to help your own people then you are just as bad at managing money as all of the Guv’ments and Territories in Australia are.
That’s My Voice and the Invoice is not acceptable. If you don’t like it then go back to the way you were before the First Fleet arrived in 1788. FFS.
Calli, I’ve taken an antihistamine and am drinking a Pimms! LOL, don’t care. I know you shouldn’t drink alcohol but don’t care!
I reckon the US needs a tea party and a revolution now and much more than it did in the 18th century.
It’s raining on the coronation.
Diana’s revenge.
Sure, it’s impossible to always predict the future, but boy the US economy is one resilient, flexible economy. Last evening our time, the non-farm payroll number came out and the US is still adding net jobs.
Maybe the inflation rate comes down to more acceptable levels, the economy slows and we miss out on a recession.
What’s with the fashion of dress-ups ? I contend it was Madonna that started it. But now every fat Lezzo, black activist and woke queen boy is parading themselves like Priscila Queen of the Desert. Can’t they come up with anything original. Boring.
Thus positioned to benefit – whether intentionally or not – from the continued enslavement of Betty Blackeye.
Ahaha! And…they’re off! Try that down the Mall you wimpy English!
Go you good thing!
He’ll be beheaded on Tower Green at the height of the festivities.
And as to liking pomp and ceremony, I’m half thinking of the masons rolling up a trouser leg. To prove they take it seriously. Which can only be possible for those who have no sense of humour.
The man would have to have a heart of stone who could watch a coronation without giggling.
Masala, you cheat! Grrrrrr! Round the corner…neck and neck…and out comes the whip.
Rotter.
“Tower Green “
Tower Green is a sad spot, think of those who died there, Margaret Pole, Countess of Salisbury, hacked and bludgeoned by the executioner, Anne Boleyn, Jane Grey, and Catherine Howard.
Speaking of trips down Memory Lane – Micah Newman, “Carolyn’s Fingers“.
Mighty Strat Work.
One whip too many Masala. And that’s that.
And now the victor discovers that revenge isn’t quite as sweet as he imagined.
A story for the ages.
tom at 1724
err
i think you will find that wasn’t the fatal flaw
There’ll be no drag queens in the coronation parade.
A wonderful opportunity to promote tolerance and understanding missed.
Not enough kiddies perhaps.
Services inflation is booming. UE still stuck stubbornly low. The Old Perv’s Govt spending off the charts. I’m not holding much hope for inflation subsiding to anywhere near the desired levels. I think eventually the US will move the goal posts to a higher target rate around 3- 3.5% inflation. As it stands now, the Fed needs over 6% cash rate to get anywhere near the 2% inflation target. That would put debt interest way way above Defence as a budget expense. The US is in real trouble here. But, will gold still hold its value?
To Lidia Thorpe.
As I represent revered traditions, enjoy this gift of flour (ignore the slight almond scent) and here are some (slightly used) blankets the former owners no longer need.
Enjoy!
Love, King Charles.

Incorrect. The man has carved his own path and is my favourite South African Jewish Ozzie Economist.
Any Economics Perfesser who can turn up in Sydney on a Friday Night at a pub in Sleazey Hills and launch his book advocating the privatization of the ALPBC to a large adoring audience is OK in my book.
This event occured shortly after my fleeing back to Sydney in 2017. Other Cats were there although I didn’t know them at the time.
Lots of hot young womanges were present, if you might think that the Perfesser’s appeal was somewhat “selective”. 🙂

It’s already not ending well, been told by sister I’m not allowed another one.

The question is not why children would like to view drag queens (after all, they’re colourful and brash and interesting from a toddler’s perspective). The question is why drag queens want to perform in front of children.
Any answer you can think of is not pretty.

I don’t care for Charles at all but I still prefer him to President Adam Goodes.
I will also be watching tonight and drinking something bubbly.

Which TV station do you recommend? Do I go ALPBC, Seven or Nein?
Any preference so far?

I published on this many years ago when I wrote the worlds first analysis of injuries in Equestrian events. On a ‘per hour’ basis, I concluded that horse riding was more dangerous than motorcycle riding, and that cross country riding was more dangerous than motorcycle racing, with one rider injury every 14 hours, and at the highest level (Olympics) one every 5 hours.
At one event I was Dr at, 4 riders went to hospital by ambulance, at another, 3 went to hospital and one was killed before half the riders had started!
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1756135/
I concluded that ‘amongst equestrian sports, only rodeo appears more dangerous than cross country eventing’ – predictably, I got hate mail from the rodeo folk! – my reply, ‘I know you love your sport but don’t try to convince me its low risk!’
Having said that, after I switched to classic rallying (dirt and tarmac), I had one consecutive stretch of 4 events I was driving in where there was a fatality during the event.
Yeah, a young lass died a few days ago. Sad, but at least she was doing something she clearly loved doing.

I agree. How about some marches with all of that pomp and pomp. Big bands playing and all that as well. Tell those common taters that they are just common taters (spuds).

Yes. Typical ABC disrespect. Pro-monarchists, pro-treaty/voice getting their 10 minutes to vent their spleen. One woman was of Nigerian descent and although she admitted she was born in this country and has spent her entire life here, she ‘wondered’ what her Nigerian counterparts were thinking on this day. Where do they get these people?!
I have been oscillating between Ch 9 and ABC because I get tired of being lectured on the ABC.
Err, Cats – this morning I launched a crude and abusive personal attack* on a personage that has been a commenter here (and the previous blogue) for many moons.
And you know what? I do not regret it.
The not so subtle application of their “Alinsky Rules”. They want it, they’ll get it.
In spades. 🙂
*is there any other kind?
I’m watching Sky which is pretty good.
“anti-histamine?
pimms?”
Both.
Calli, I channel-flipped on to ABC and the first word I heard was “racism.”
Yep, I learned from firefighting that roads are a much more dangerous place than the paddocks adjacent because, not being ‘owned’, they don’t get maintained or used for grazing etc, thus build up fuel loads that can surprise you. I once had a grassie burn over my truck when it moved from the low grass in a grazed paddock to the high grass at the roadside.
There was some gossip about Prince Edward when he was young, then he got married and turned out to be the most normal of the Queen’s children.
On a personal note (again), I don’t derive any satisfaction from abusing commenters which is why I’ve tried mightily to resist doing so over the last few years.
Sometimes however, the attacked do bring it on themselves.

Yes, most of the deaths in cross country are ‘rotational falls’ where the horse strikes a jump, pitching the rider onto the ground in front of it, then rotates around the rail and drops on the rider – I had to deal with one of these in SA and it was rather unpleasant.

You surrendered your sovereignty when you walked off your lands, looking for whitefella beef, flour, sugar, tea and tobacco.

Well, as long as you didn’t get banned, then please keep up the great work.
Johnny- abusing people is the last resort of someone who has no other more subtle weaponry.
And it’s not a good look.

The beginning of the ABC’s coverage saw discussion on the expected costs spent on the coronation at a time when there is a cost of living crisis in the UK, and also protestors attending the event.
How about the cost of the coverage of the A Bleeding C going over to London and covering the Coronation? Ch 7, Ch 9 and Ch 10 are there. How about linking into their coverage and saving us long suffering Taxpayers some money. You leeches.
There is a cost of living crisis here in Australia, ABC. But then again, you would not know about that would you. As you are so overpaid, you would not feel the pain of the Taxpayer who pays your wages. You ABC leeches.
Do you know why California hasn’t found any deaths linked to the COVID vaccines?

Yes, Lewis was a slimy crook (but, having met him, I can confirm that he could put on a very plausible front).
But the ABC is in complete denial about how little has changed under the sleazy regime of Anaesthesia Palace Chook and the loathsome Jacquie Trad and Jim Miles.
