I find Armstrong generally a little on the nutty end of the spectrum, but the above has been pointed out by greater minds in the past.
As Weaver argues, legal protection of private property is the ‘last metaphysical right’ which has saved the West from totalitarianism (of any flavour). It is the last right which has no test of social usefulness, and is our last domain of privacy from the state.
The EU is busy trying to destroy that through environmentalism (Nitrogen arguments to kill off small farmholdings), in other countries, governments work on the death-tax angle.

Australia’s political caste:
Premier Chris Minns has offered Nationals MP Ben Franklin the plum job of President of NSW’s Legislative Council.
Franklin would gain an annual pay rise of c. $150,000, staff of three, access to a private dining room & a limousine with a chauffeur. However, the loss of his vote would hamstring the coalition in the upper house.
Franklin is believed to be godparent to at least one of Minns’s children.
duk, overnight:
Apparently and I heard on the radio the other day* that speeding and these sorts of things are not crimes. Crimes, unless in certain specific circumstances do indeed need a victim.
As a basic example, to steal you need to pinch something that belongs to someone else. If you steal a handbag from a table in a food court, the victim is the owner of that handbag. If it’s a roast chook from Colesworths, then until you pay for it Colesworths owns it.
Speeding, along with most of the traffic stuff and what used are offences. That is because they are regulatory in nature. Most State and Territory legislation have a Summary Offences Act which covers things like pissing in the street, wanking in public, disorderly behaviour and so on. None of these offences necessarily have victims, although you may have people offended by that behaviour.
However, they’re not crimes. They’re in the States’ Crimes Act or Criminal Code or a similarly-titled big book. Both crimes and offences will attract the jacks’ attention, but they’re categorised differently.

From my libertarian life philosophy Dover:
‘Don’t hurt people, don’t take their stuff’
If an action of mine does neither of those things to you, its none of your business and does not affect you. If it does, I have wronged you and you can seek redress. I can’t think of a single ‘crime’ which is an exception to that.
But my bigger point was that sanctioning things I do on the premise that they *might* hurt you or your stuff at some unspecified time in the future sets a dangerous precedent because it equates to sanctioning Orwells ‘thought crime’. It also feeds into the last 3 years where we shut down all of society on the premise that one citizens actions (going about their lives) *might* harm another (grandma). We did this without acknowledging the reciprocal risk – grandma restricting my life harmed me.

I had caught bus from Balgowlah over Bridge then train to newly renovated Newton Station and as we both agreed, Australia has been enhanced by its multi cultural enviornment – when asked re what I thought of Newton (he lives in Erskinville), I felt it had not much changed from my days at St John’s College Sydney Uni early 60s
Also agreed that being in the Southern Hemisphere, nice to be a long way from the North, and as our National Anthem states “Our Land Abounds in Nature’s Gifts Of Beauty Rich and Rare”

While I agree with you Wally, the stuff on the shelves mostly comes from overseas anyway with the huge mark up. Anyone with some nous should get into an artisanal hobby. This is where you can develop skills. People are tired of buying poor quality for top price. One of my mates used to be a mechanical engineer but has turned to woodworking. Made some dining tables after doing one for himself. 75 mm thick out of laminated native timbers. He does a portable work bench that comes apart for transporting. The quality of the workbench is similar to the dining tables. The dining table is sanded to a higher standard. He now makes 4 at a time and assembles them as required. He’s working on a spiral staircase thats going to be worth about a $100k. He puts the work into working out how to make one suit differing heights, not just one offs. Another guy I know buys up old machinery and repairs it. Rents it out or sells it. These guys didn’t start out to make a full time job out of it, only for interest sake and a bit of cash on the side. Has developed into something worthwhile without the pressure of having to perform for clients and only suit themselves. Years ago we used to spend 10%of income on developing business. Then wife said no more but would give an hour free talking to the top decision maker about their problems. Money saved and more work resulted.

LAST REFUGE OF A SCOUNDREL
Dr. Johnson was wrong. The last refuge of a scoundrel is not patriotism, i.e, the love of one’s own country. Rather, the scoundrel’s last refuge is contempt for his own country, camouflaged by an insincere devotion to another nation.
Thus, we had the spectacle of “Dr.” Jill Biden attending the coronation of King Charles III–an inspiring event, for completely different reasons–along with one of her granddaughters, wearing not the colors of the United States, but those of Ukraine:
The Mirror called this “a display of solidarity with Ukraine.”
OK, fine: but what we really want from the Biden administration is a display of solidarity with the United States. That, unfortunately, we will never get. Liberals are incapable of patriotism, i.e., showing love and loyalty toward the country of which they are citizens.
They haven’t supported the United States in a war since WWII. They like to flaunt their support for Ukraine, because they think it shows they are not effete pacifists, while not actually committing them to any action that could be considered warlike.
“Dr.” Jill attended the coronation because Joe was too busy feeble to make the trip <em>(Could Not, Not Shit his Pants because could not last 3 hours between imposed Westminister Toilet Break) – just ask the Pope! .
Next time a president visits a foreign nation on an important affair of state, let’s hope he comes as a representative of the United States and not some other country.
Taylah Gray, lawyer and member of the First Nations Advisory Council, said seeing the crown placed on King Charles’ head had “set a sour mood”.
“I know the crown represents power and authority, but you know leadership is not something that should be inherited from your bloodline. Leadership is earned from the people.
Whereas the taxpayers largesse can be sprayed about like an incontinent blue whale on a meth and Metamucil bender based entirely on a miniscule % of claimed Abo heritage.
Anarchy doesn’t mean no rules, it means no rulers.

Where in the world is Joe Biden?
President Biden launched his reelection campaign recently with an unconventional video that looked like it was produced by former “West Wing” producer Aaron Sorkin.
The video shows an invigorated Biden shaking hands and embracing Americans from across the ethnic and racial spectrum. It also features plenty of his otherwise largely invisible vice president, Kamala Harris, who doesn’t speak during the video but sure appears to love working with the president.
Despite the campaign relaunch, there hasn’t yet been much in the way of traditional campaigning. Much like 2020, Biden has preferred to lay low and away from the stump while mostly avoiding the press.
Biden kidded about his aversion to the press at the White House Correspondents dinner last week.
“In a lot of ways, this dinner sums up my first two years in office. I’ll talk for 10 minutes, take zero questions and cheerfully walk away,”</em> Biden said during remarks at the dinner.
The massive ballroom at the Washington Hilton roared with laughter, seemingly not realizing that the president was laughing at them, not with them.
Biden usually doesn’t have what one would call a full schedule.
Eg: Look at this Nigel, whos paying for this cock to be in the UN finding new and creative ways to white-ant Australia?

Top Ender,
when driving in 4WDs in NT due abysmal aerodynamics & increase in fuel consumption, usually sat around 115Km per Hr – not many came past
We should adopt Europe (obviously excludes Germany) Standard – 130 Km/hr – if raining 110 Km/Hr
Going downHume to Melbourne is painful slow long line of creeping cars at 110 Km/hr looking to overtake
If made 130/110 Km/Hr, would be stringing out of vehicles, as people would adapt to what they felt comfortable with, and much safer.
My country fam had delightful neighbours who turned part of their property into a motor bike track for their kids.
Revving and buzzing all day was a blissful experience for their neighbours too.

Those days are gone Rosie.
You’d void all your public liability insurance.
Sad but true.
The trouble with travelling at 130kph for hours on boring roads (as I found after dumping my bike having slowed to maybe 30kph) is you lose all sense of speed. There are places and times when it would be perfectly safe and other times when it would be dangerous. When you crash every kph hurts.
OK – if speeding ‘creates many victims’ … name just one, it should be easy – no, not a victim who was created by a *crash* whilst speeding, name one who was made a victim solely by the act of some one else’s speeding, because speed enforcement criminalises speeding, not an accident that occurred whilst speeding.
My point was an act can be reasonably classified as an offence/crime because as DB said it impacts on public order and has an instructive effect on others: ie he’s speeding so I will to. The potential of the act to have a victim is part of that but the primary point is social order and the effect on dickheads who will use the victimless act as an excuse for them to do it to.
Speeding and all other road laws are victimless crimes and should be immediately abolished.
Speeding is just for revenue raising to pay the wages of the coppers and other parasitic public servants. We used to hang Highwaymen and display the dangling bodies by the roadside as a warning to others. Now we give them uniforms and the right to rob the public.
Having said that, it might be a good idea to agree on which side of the road to drive and who has right of way under which circumstances.
The sign you are going too fast is when you feel the rear wheel come up under braking.
I think using the word “work” and Biden in the same sentence is a tad bit too generous. But, he does like his reward: Scratch and sniff kids.
The trouble with travelling at 130kph for hours on boring roads (as I found after dumping my bike having slowed to maybe 30kph) is you lose all sense of speed
Same happens at 100 or 110 kph but at 130 kph you spend less time doing it.
And if you punish the outcome (someone else is harmed) not the input (someone else might be harmed), you have an elegantly self regulating system (if your actions are risky to others, you will be punished in direct proportion to how much risk you place them at).
This admittedly likely means some people get harmed who might not have been had your behaviour been modified a priori, but that needs to be balanced against the current system which harms citizens who might never cause injury to others – eg by fining them for exceeding an a velocity limit set by decree.
The argument mirrors the gun control argument – gun control laws harm law abiding citzens, not criminals. A large number of citizens have their freedoms restricted by laws which they obey, wheras those who dont, are unaffected.
Given the state of many of our major roads and highways aka goat tracks, 100 kph is fast enough on lots of them. The New England “Highway” between Toowoomba and Warwick is a disgrace. I guess third world countries with pretensions to the First World can’t afford good roads.

Speed limit enforcement in Australia is draconian. Almost no leeway. It used to be not so bad. When this started in South Australia in the late 1980’s I immediately noticed an increase in traffic density. Cars spend more time on the roads.
Minimum speed limits and restricting boomers to a curfew of between 10:30 am and 11:30 am would solve the problem.
Qld gave introduced point to point on the Gateway Motorway. Traffic is too dense to put cruise control on, so you spend more time looking at your Speedo than you do on what is going on around you.

No it doesn’t. Guns are special because they represent a capacity of the populace to defend themselves. Leaders don’t like that capacity. Speeding is a behaviour which is not just potentially dangerous but influential on others and therefore public safety.
Do you think public masturbation should be legal?
The FiL many years ago said that if you are not paying attention to the Speedo, you will find that you you are doing around 10km faster than the posted speed limit, regardless of what the speed limit is.

The 3 Names of American Female War Mongers – Victoria Nuland, Samantha Power & Susan Rice
Is Mexico’s AMLO behind the million migrant surge into the U.S.?
With Joe Biden’s end to the Title 42 pandemic restrictions on asylum applications coming on May 11, as many as a million migrants are massing at the U.S. southern border, preparing to charge on in.
It seems a little odd, actually. Title 42 had been sparsely enforced by the Bidenites as most migrants, particularly the ones who couldn’t be expelled to Mexico based on their countries of origin, got into the states on “parole” anyway, some of them coughing away on COVID, and unlike normal travelers, were exempt from U.S. vaccine requirements, even being allowed to refuse them. The overwhelming majority, one way or another, got in, which kept the surge surging.
That one little restriction, though, which gave an illegal border crosser a less-than-50% chance of being thrown out as a pandemic risk, ends, and now a million are headed in?
Something about it doesn’t entirely make sense, and now Sundance at The Conservative Treehouse has put his finger on it, connecting the dots.
His report is a doozy:
If you understand what Samantha Power does via her role in using USAID as the mechanism to advance the color revolutions around the globe, these remarks from Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez-Obrador are subtle like a brick through a window.
Power has recently been trying to create political turmoil in Hungary [HERE] and Georgia [HERE].
However, after AMLO delivered a speech where he called out Joe Biden, the DEA and the CIA for trying to interfere in Mexico [HERE], many people reading here predicted Samantha Power would now show up in Mexico.
Those of you who made that prediction were correct. You guys are smart!
Keep in mind that nearly a million central American economic migrants can be unleashed by AMLO, and likely will be, as Joe Biden and the Mexican president have faced off for almost two years over North American energy policy. Stunningly, AMLO has not backed down an inch, and instead went on the offensive against Joe Biden and Justin Trudeau.
This put a target on his back and was likely the impetus for U.S. intelligence agencies to call upon Samantha Power to do her thing.
So AMLO is teaching Joe Biden a lesson for his utterly none-of-his-business meddling in Mexico’s internal affairs through the Soros crowd, by releasing hundreds of thousands of migrants into the U.S. at one pop.
It’s significant that Mexico won’t be sending any troops to the border to stop the surge, as President Trump had been able to ask Mexico to do, and which did stop previous surges. The Bidenites didn’t even dare to ask as they likely already knew what the answer would be. It’s also significant that Mexico had been keeping migrants penned up in camps in southern Mexico. Based on the numbers seen, that was then.
Sundance cites the political meddling from the Soros crowd which has alienated Mexico, which, interestingly, was also employed by Power’s USAID in Central America, notably Guatemala, too, where cash was shoveled out to the government’s opposition groups, err, civil society groups — and quite possibly, the two other countries of the northern triangle, Honduras and El Salvador, too.
I’m sorry, duk, but it isn’t elegantly self-regulating to wait for the harm to occur when the act, say, teenagers dropping bricks off an overpass onto a freeway, is both reckless and without justification in itself.
We can argue about the reasonableness of various limits given the road and area, the number of changes on a length of road, and the like, but the idea that no limit is justified is absurd. Anyway, how would a private action proceed if an accident did occur? If someone is doing 70km in a side street and hits a kid playing kick to kick how does an action begin if the driver can argue that his speed was within the law. Simply causing harm doesn’t establish a tort because it’s both the unreasonableness of the act and the harm that followed that is necessary.
What are you asking for Figures?
A safe space so goofy ideas and spurious motives go unchallenged?
Something about it doesn’t entirely make sense, and now Sundance at The Conservative Treehouse has put his finger on it, connecting the dots.

AMLO isn’t the guy bringing the “migrants” to Mexico in the first place, so why should he be stopping them from crossing into America?

I didn’t think it was that hard to understand. But here you go for instructions:
1) If you’re calling for a right winger leader to resign in favour of someone else, it should only *ever* be in favour of someone even more right wing. Otherwise, fight to keep them at all costs.
2) Be as concerned about being labelled a “hypocrite” in pursuit of right-wing goals as leftists are in pursuit of theirs.
Not at all.
3) Intellectual disagreements are just that. You always defend your leaders against every single attack from the left. And by that I mean *every* single attack.
4) Don’t ever let the left set the narrative unchallenged for any given event. This is *especially* true in the first few hours after the event.
It’s funny you should ask this of me really. You people are all hopelessly wrong – completely insane actually – when it comes to medicine but I will always defend you against the likes of Monty.

#1. The New England Highway doesn’t go anywhere Toowoomba, and never has.
#2. Small sections between the Toowoomba turnoff and Dalveen can be dangerous, but that’s due to the topography, not any failings by Main Roads.

.1 The flood of immigrants do what immigrants historically do, that is, pull the ladder up after them,
.2 Find/create jobs and settle down into suburbia, buy houses and start their own families.
Considering the major part of the migrant rush is younger people, will they create a major economic expansion of the US economy?
I don’t know – the US started out as a borderless nation and grew into a world power through migration – will it get a second bite of the cherry?
Will the US hit 400 Million by 2035? (331 million at present.)

Bullshit.

Fixing this in the age of social media and blatantly political trials is very simple but it will never happen with the current lot in charge.
If there is high publicity surrounding the case that is likely to prejudice a trial (against the defendant) then the defence chooses 24 jurors. The prosecution can veto 12 of those selections but they don’t get to choose any.
Similarly, if the publicity surrounding the trial is due to the deliberate actions of the prosecution (or prosecution witnesses) then the prosecution doesn’t even get veto power. The defence team gets whichever 12 people they choose.
Now, judges (who themselves aren’t highly credible) would need to be the one to make this call (of jury selection rules) but, given the high risk of them doing so, prosecutors wouldn’t dare bring forward weak cases that are high profile.
I’d rather a president who could play golf once a week. I would be willing to bet that Biden could not break 100 off the stick.

Supine pissing on their own bellys groveling over the existence of anything that says no to a group defined by race.
Victoria’s Chief Commissioner of Police has apologised unreservedly for police actions that have traumatised Indigenous Victorians.
Mr Patton acknowledged discriminatory policing has traumatised First Nation peoples and said police would take action to address the over-representation of Indigenous people in the justice system
Yoorrook chairperson Eleanor Bourke said the apology must bring about real change
In a statement to Victoria’s Indigenous truth-telling inquiry, the Yoorrook Justice Commission, Shane Patton said the Indigenous community’s over-representation in the justice system was “unacceptable” and pledged that Victoria Police would take action to address it.
“As Chief Commissioner, and on behalf of Victoria Police, I wish to formally and unreservedly apologise for police actions that have caused or contributed to the trauma experienced by so many Aboriginal families in our jurisdiction,” Mr Patton said.
“I see the Yoorrook Justice Commission as an opportunity for State agencies like Victoria Police to publicly acknowledge the wrongs that have occurred and which still occur and to make a public commitment to how we intend to operate and engage with Aboriginal individuals, organisations and communities and to then follow through with actions to implement the commitments.”
In his statement, Mr Patton addressed a number of issues within the justice system that have disproportionately affected Indigenous Victorians, including public drunkenness laws, the age of criminal responsibility and the treatment of people in police custody.
The Commission has heard that the state government’s 2018 bail reforms contributed to the “unprecedented” mass incarceration of First Peoples in this state.
Nearly 1,200 Aboriginal people went to prison in the last financial year while on remand — meaning they spent time behind bars without being sentenced by a judge. There have been five Aboriginal deaths in custody in Victoria since 2020.
…
Professor Bourke said “since the very beginning”, Victoria Police has acted as the primary enforcement arm of a government that forcibly occupied Indigenous lands and destroyed families.
“The ‘systemic racism, racist attitudes and discriminatory actions of police’ over the last 170 years, it has been perpetuated with the intent of making us – First Peoples – disappear,” Professor Bourke said.
“Yoorrook has heard that our people continue to be targeted, attacked, harassed and racially profiled by police. Since then, our children have been born into over-policed communities.
…
Mr Patton said he was “extremely concerned” that Aboriginal people in Victoria continued to report encounters with police involving racism, unconscious bias and unequal application of discretionary powers.
He also expressed concern about low substantiation rates of complaints by Aboriginal people the disproportionately low numbers of cautions given to alleged Indigenous youth offenders and low levels of confidence Indigenous Victorians have in making complaints to Victoria Police.
“The facts and matters in my statement are evidence that Victoria Police accepts that deficiencies remain and that, while we have been taking wide-ranging action, we still have work to do,” Mr Patton said.
“As Chief Commissioner of Victoria Police, I will not tolerate bias, racism or unequal exercise of discretionary powers toward Aboriginal people [or anyone else].”
Im sorry – but low substantiation rates of complaints is proof people may be bullcrapping rather than the spin hes happy to put on it.
WORST. GENOCIDE.EVUH!
“We can argue about the reasonableness of various limits given the road and area, the number of changes on a length of road, and the like, but the idea that no limit is justified is absurd.”
It is well established based on numerous studies in numerous countries, that the safest speed limit is the so-called “85th percentile” – that is, the speed 85% of drivers will not exceed if there is literally no speed limit. This setting also maximises compliance – only a handful (literally a few percent) will exceed a limit so decided.
It also means that lower speed limits than otherwise seem reasonable will be more often obeyed – if 99 out of 100 speed limits seem reasonable, you will assume that there is a reason that is not apparent to you for the reduced limit. If though, even 75 out of 100 seem unreasonable, you will tend to ignore the real outlier.
Alas, we do NOT use this system to set speed limits in Australia.
I would also point out that, while the then (NSW) RTA says that 50+% of fatal accidents involve “speeding”, the footnotes state that “speeding” includes 1) exceeding the posted limit or 2) going too fast for the conditions, even if less than the posted limit.
When I questioned the numbers assigned to each of these obviously distinct groups, I was told that it is about 7:1 – for each “speeding” death involving speed in excess of the limit, there are 7 where it was simply excessive for the conditions.
This obviously means that even strict policing of the speed limit to the point that no-one ever exceeds it, or using a speed limiter for example, can save less than 15% of deaths currently listed as being caused by “speeding”. Since the time I questioned the authorities on this, they have – if anything – become even more obsessed with enforcing adherence to the speed limit, even though they cannot fail to be aware that this is not where they can make the most difference.
We need to stop making important what we can measure, and start measuring what’s important.
For example, leaving larger gaps to the car in front is much more important, yet if you leave even 0.75 second gap in Shitney traffic, someone will “zap” into that gap almost without fail. I remind you that the recommended gap is actually 2 seconds! These gaps are important for two reasons: 1) it obviously gives you more time to react and 2) it not so obviously decreases your focus on what is directly ahead and thereby increases your situation awareness – your peripheral vision will expand, and you can spend time observing what is happening further up the road and make sure you are not going to be part of any unfolding incident. I don’t know about you, but I have never (and I mean never) seen any advertising on leaving a 2 second gap to the vehicle in front of you – nor, for that matter any other measure of that gap (“1 second”, “your speed in km/h divided by 10 in metres” etc etc). None. Zero. Nor ever seen, heard of, or seen advertising of enforcement of, such a gap.
I saw a pic of the Texas shooter’s hand yesterday. Hand tatts you’d see on gang member from Latin America.
I don’t really care what you have been saying. Something is true because you say it? Is descendent of injustice a new gender we must all respect?
I came across a tweet (on a Twitter-thread that someone else here had posted regarding the coronation) and there was a picture of one of the gilded carriages, to which someone (I think they called themselves ‘African’) bemoaned how terrible to see brazen showing off of wealth that Britain had stolen from other nations.
I do not know this person (I think a woman) so this is more a mental exercise than a direct rebuttal.
Anyway I assume this woman assumes, perhaps without ever being conscious of what exactly she is saying, that Europeans (probably British) turned up and just took what they wanted and left the locals impoverished. That is that. All the problems in Africa are due to that.
In fact, the Europeans (probably British) would have turned up and started building towns. They built hospitals, law courts, schools, roads, ports, canals, dams, irrigation systems, bridges, factories, businesses, they would have dug tunnels and mines, and on it goes. But perhaps just as importantly they brought the ideas behind those things.
They introduced modern medicine, education, they brought law, they brought trade, they brought a new knowledge of farming, of travel, of government and bureaucracy in its (initially) benign sense.
I would further assume that when she laments the state of African nations she thinks in terms of crumbling roads, unemployment, failing hospitals, corrupt politicians and so on. None of this is what Britain took from Africa. It comes down to the Africans have behaved since they left.
Sure the British took from Africa, but they gave them something far more valuable than gold: they gave these African nations the knowledge and the infrastructure to be successful nations. If Africans decided to squander that gift then that is on them.

“peter brock was the best driver evah at speed

There is a significant difference between doing 161 laps around Bathurst and driving a rally – for the former you KNOW (from practice etc) each and every bend, bump and armco fence on the track and you rely on your own judgment alone.
For a rally, you need to rely on both the co-driver (navigator) AND the pace notes. Brock’s mistake was trusting the pace notes without pre-driving the section to check them. That proved fatal.
Regardless, one does not, in most cases, need the skills or reflexes of a race car driver in order to drive on public roads safely – certainly such skills and reactions can potentially save you from a crash, but they can also mislead you on the road. For instance, a race car driver will drive straight towards an out of control car on the track, because in most cases, by the time he gets to where the car was, it is now gone. Such is rarely the case on the street. You should, of course, practice (under controlled conditions and not a public street!) such things as skid control, brake modulation etc – it is a very difficult thing to ease off the brakes when the wheels lock up, but it can make the difference between needing a change of underwear and needing the services of a smash repair shop (the former is typically much less of a health risk too! 🙂 )

Dumb question.
The Colonies provided export markets for British industry, in the case of India, it’s Textile Industry was moved to Britain and it became an importer.
The price for U.S. involvement in WW2 was the transfer of British Companies to American control, 500 million Pounds upfront, and the end of the British Empire.
Churchill paid up, yet he coulda kept the lot if he’d pulled out of the War at Dunkirk.
It was a rock actually. My understanding is that a major contributor to the catastrophic brain injury was having a Go-Pro camera mounted on his helmet.
Sonny Bono was a pretty good skier and mayor until that tree. “What tree?”
The British Empire would not have expanded to cover half the known world without the wealth created from the India trade.
I think Britain would have been more than happy to dump most of their African colonies when they did.
WW2 recovery gave them a great excuse.
Amen.

My apologies. I always assumed it was a tree,
Daily Mail.
My point in asking questions such as that above is to ascertain how much legitimacy there is in the claims that [insert name of colonial power] became wealthy solely due to the plundering of [insert name of colony]’s abundant riches? The assumption seems to be that this plundering was done with ease and without cost or loss.
Take Australia: what abundant riches were scooped without effort in barrow-loads from atop the soil of the Great South Land?
Putting aside the strategic great power elements, how much did empires such as the British Empire, benefit materially from their colonies?
Muddy: Started watching an SBS on-demand series about the East India Company. Only into it as far as the first episode, but so far so good.
In March 1786 the magistrates of the City of London presented to King George III a petition complaining of the overcrowded state of the jails.
In August 1786 Lord Sydney took the action which launched the colony.
He signed a letter to the Lords Commissioners of the Treasury, the first paragraph of which reads:
“The several gaols and places for confinement of felons in this kingdom being in so crowded a state that the greatest danger is to be apprehended, not only from their escape, but from infectious distempers, which may hourly be expected to break out amongst them, His Majesty, desirous of preventing by every possible means the ill consequences which might happen from these causes, has been pleased to signify to me his royal commands that measures should immediately pursued for sending out of this kingdom such of the convicts as are under sentence or order of transportation”.
Secondary reasons were undoubtedly the desire to forestall other European powers in the occupation of Norfolk Island, and the potential of the flax plant and the pine trees (which grew on the island) for sails and spars for the Royal Navy.
Kneel, you should know by now that rationality does not govern the actions of government. It is all theatre. “look we are setting low speed limits and strictly enforcing them to keep you and your family safe on the roads – we care about you and aren’t we good”. That this costs everyone time and doesn’t save significant numbers of lives doesn’t matter. Even the lives lost exceeding the posted limit may be mostly due to exceeding what is safe in the conditions. Apart from bogan hoons (don’t care as long as they kill only themselves), drug dealers doing delivery rounds (also don’t care and likewise).
Dick Smith, when he was trying to get sensible rules for civil aviation in this country, introduced the concept of “affordable safety” which caused quite the uproar. What it really means is “spend the money where it does the most good” not where it just looks good.
Most interesting post, P, thank you.

Welcome to Victoria Springs! That Patton would deliberately separate law and order on the basis of race is disgraceful. Just stand by with your popcorn and watch Victoria implode if the moron and the Victorian government is serious. Disgusting.
Handed in my SFL membership earlier this year due to the appalling election performance last year. I always give people the benefit of the doubt that they try to do the right thing and can on occasion make a a cockup. After reading about Matthew Guys comments being still a fan and supporter of Turnbull, i had a moment of clarity. My gut was right. Twas no cockup. He and his ilk are determined to keep conservative views away from any power input . He really is a cuck and should move to Labor asap. Take Turnbull with him.
1) You could argue that you have a right not to be ‘ exposed ‘ 😉 to that in public, and if you are, you suffer a psychological injury. In that sense, you are a victim. On the other hand, I could counterargue that I enjoy tossing off in public, and you preventing me doing so causes me a loss …. who’s right trumps the other? and why?
2) I have often wondered why ‘in your face’ breastfeeding in public has become de-rigeur, even celebrated, whereas public urination/masturbation has not. Both involve parts of the anatomy which were previously considered private. Watch this space I guess.

Correct. The left are viciously tribal which presents a united front; rugged individualism and pip pipperism defeats the right/conservatism every time. And we think there are rules which the left will abide by. The big challenge for the right is our political teams are no longer conservative so how can we support them.
You’re a Dr and can’t see the difference, seriously.
Because you don’t enjoy a right to toss off in public any more than you do to take a shit in public, and people have a right to go about their business in public without encountering either. And neither requires an injury to be considered crimes/ offences. Rights are grounded in goods like learning and knowing the truth, for example; therefore, we have a right of association, right to an education, right of free speech, and whatever other right is conducive to learning and knowing the truth, and is limited by this good therein. The same is true of other rights (right to marry) and the goods ( good of family life) which grounds them.

The Empire certainly returned some good profits to Britain in certain places at certain times but the colonies were never consistent cash cows. In relation to the West Indies for example, sugar made immense returns even after the abolition of slavery, but it was an increase in the world supply from other sources (e.g Australian came, and sugar beets in Germany and the USA) that created the price plunge that undermined the inefficient production processes in the West Indies.
In addition, after the First World War, the Empires administrators began to adopt a more consciously benevolent and nation building exercise of power in the respective colonies and there was considerable expenditure on hospitals, schools, sanitation systems etc.
So it’s doubtful if the West Indies turned a buck (pound) for the Empire at any time from say 1900 to the 1960’s.
I have no problems with women breastfeeding in public, we all know breast is best for a baby. Most women do it discreetly and modestly. As for those women who don’t, who flop their breast out for all to see, I don’t particularly like it but to compare to public urinating and masturbation, give me a break.
The British Colonies were export markets for British finished goods and providers of raw materials to British industry.
