The Durham report (downloadable) in full.
https://www.scribd.com/document/645604755/Durham-Report#
Downer’s involvement around pages 50-60. He doesn’t come out of it badly.
The real loser is the ABC’s Sarah Ferguson and her three-part ‘story of the century’, which is still on YouTube (as opposed to iView, where it appears to have been deep-sixed. I just speed-watched the series on YouTube).
For example, Ferguson asserts the FBI was tipped off by ASIO when it wasn’t. The spooks sent then a redacted cable Downer had sent, at which point the FBI hopped on a plane and interviewed him and another Oz diplo in London. Durham stresses that the credibility a direct ASIO link would imply was a non-starter.
So far ABC has run only wire copy on the Durham report. Expect all further ABC coverage to evaporate.

No, it is the classic Oxford definition of a vaccine.
Other definitions, such as that of WHO, tend to start with a gee up as to the value of vaccines and some differentiate different types of vaccines.
Turns out they may well be intellectually superior.
1. RNA vaccines may cause RNA templated DNA repair, not thought possible until mid 2021 and 2. the collection of data showing neurological problems largely stemming from mRNA vaccines.

Pol? reverse transcribes RNA and promotes RNA-templated DNA repair.Sci. Adv.7,eabf1771(2021).DOI:10.1126/sciadv.abf1771
Abstract
Genome-embedded ribonucleotides arrest replicative DNA polymerases (Pols) and cause DNA breaks. Whether mammalian DNA repair Pols efficiently use template ribonucleotides and promote RNA-templated DNA repair synthesis remains unknown. We find that human Pol? reverse transcribes RNA, similar to retroviral reverse transcriptases (RTs). Pol? exhibits a significantly higher velocity and fidelity of deoxyribonucleotide incorporation on RNA versus DNA. The 3.2-Å crystal structure of Pol? on a DNA/RNA primer-template with bound deoxyribonucleotide reveals that the enzyme undergoes a major structural transformation within the thumb subdomain to accommodate A-form DNA/RNA and forms multiple hydrogen bonds with template ribose 2?-hydroxyl groups like retroviral RTs. Last, we find that Pol? promotes RNA-templated DNA repair in mammalian cells. These findings suggest that Pol? was selected to accommodate template ribonucleotides during DNA repair.

Abstract
Following the COVID-19 virus epidemic, extensive, coordinated international research has led to the rapid development of effective vaccines. Although vaccines are now considered the best way to achieve collective safety and control mortality, due to the critical situation, these vaccines have been issued the emergency use licenses and some of their potential subsequence side effects have been overlooked. At the same time, there are many reports of side effects after getting a COVID-19 vaccine. According to these reports, vaccination can have an adverse event, especially on nervous system. The most important and common complications are cerebrovascular disorders including cerebral venous sinus thrombosis, transient ischemic attack, intracerebral hemorrhage, ischemic stroke, and demyelinating disorders including transverse myelitis, first manifestation of MS, and neuromyelitis optica. These effects are often acute and transient, but they can be severe and even fatal in a few cases. Herein, we have provided a comprehensive review of documents reporting neurological side effects of COVID-19 vaccines in international databases from 2020 to 2022 and discussed neurological disorders possibly caused by vaccination.
—-
Conclusion
According to the vaccine study literature, adverse effects have always been part of the mass vaccination strategy, but ultimately the desired effects of the vaccination are more significant. Side effects of COVID-19 vaccination have been reported more frequently in people with a history of immune-related diseases or who are more sensitive to age and physiological conditions. The most important and most common complications are cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (more about AstraZeneca), transverse myelitis (more about Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZeneca, and Johnson & Johnson), Bell’s palsy (more about Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZeneca), GBS (more about Pfizer, AstraZeneca, and Johnson & Johnson), and the first manifestation of MS (more about Pfizer). Finally, discovering whether these disorders are accidental or whether the vaccine is the main cause of them requires future studies, ongoing efforts to gather evidence, and long-term monitoring.
Rickw, where are you now? I was thinking about you this morning and up you popped.
Is your family with you also? Are you on contract or have you permanently relocated?
“…getting older bothers me…”
If you stop getting older… you’re actually dead.
So getting older is OK with me!
Projection.
There was political pressure applied, but not from that quarter and not aimed at an acquittal.
Just wow.
Agreed, Muddy. So much of what we do is reactive.
Remain positive, even if it’s difficult. That’s a start. If you’re in business, you look for market niches, or where the market isn’t being adequately served. It’s getting people on side and enthusiastic. There are always opportunities.
There’s a point where no level of evidence can convince people. The idea that a Mach 4+ PAC 3 Patriot with its modern targeting system cannot (ever) hit 1/80 or so March 5+, low manoeuvrability Kihnzals fired over the course of the 15 month long war is just silly.
…from the Liberal party.
Labor and Green backstabbers, liars and megalomaniacs get a seat on the Board.

The simple answer is to get a job. Preferably full-time, and to use after-school care for her daughter.
If that is not possible (don’t give excuses), then cut your cloth to match your income. I know this is difficult. Contrary to some opinions, food assistance is limited and not always readily available, plus a lot of people are reluctant to attend charities for it. Many don’t even know where these are. But even on benefits, needs can be adjusted to cheaper food, less purchasing, less going out and limiting power use. Then consider voting against the Labor Party that is doing all of this to you with power price inflation affecting all aspects of your life. Those extra years on benefits they offer will still be penurious under their rule. And jobs, the real way out, will be fewer in the long run.
Any job – it’s far better then no job.
Well, he dodged a bullet not getting a job at PwC, who were leaking tax change secrets, and the Australian branch is now in crisis mode.

More on the public service pay rise.
APS needs to ‘catch up’ to labour market demands, says union
The federal government’s offer for a 10.5 per cent pay increase over three years for public sector workers is “a far cry” from where negotiations were just a year ago, says the Community and Public Sector Union.
CPSU members have until May 30 to vote on whether they support the pay offer, the union said in a statement. The outcome of that vote and feedback will guide the bargaining team in their next steps.
The union’s frontloaded pay claims, which were backed by the vast majority of its members, included a 9 per cent pay increase in the first year, followed by 6 per cent in the second year and 5 per cent in the third year.
CPSU National Secretary Melissa Donnelly said she would not pre-empt feedback from CPSU members on the pay offer.
“The public, public sector workers and the federal government need the APS to catch up, and catch up quickly to meet the demands and competition that exist in the modern labour market,” she said.
“This time last year APS workers were in the final days of what was a decade long assault on the public service and public service workers.
“It has left the APS with workplaces, pay and conditions that simply don’t meet the standards of the modern labour market.
“To be engaging in genuine negotiations with the government, on pay and conditions, is a far cry from where we were just a year ago.
Muddy @ 10.56am – I don’t know if you will see this post, but I hope you do.
Your comment about the personal effect of the Covid /vaccine crisis was very poignant & I want you to know that I identify completely with it.
Like you, I did not lose employment. I didn’t even lose friends or family, as many did. But the experience of that transformation of the society I knew has been incredibly upsetting. I feel it is a sort of post traumatic syndrome. For me it manifested just as the mandates etc were terminated. I found that many normally difficult but normal setbacks became more difficult to negotiate. It was very interesting. I have now dealt with it – pretty much. But it surprised me – as I think I have said before on this blog.
So Muddy, my friend, you are not alone. We are absolutely correct in our outrage. A retired immunologist friend who has publicly opposed the mRNA vaccines, is even more outraged at the abandonment of long standing medical protocol & relationships. Let no one diminish what you have been through.
“The public, public sector workers and the federal government need the APS to catch up, and catch up quickly to meet the demands and competition that exist in the modern labour market,” she said.
I can tell you, the private sector is salivating at the prospect of getting its hands on a steady supply of Administrative Process Administrators and Outreach Policy Officers (Grade 2) at a reasonable price…
Social-political Strategy:
(1). Gain the initiative (see above comment).
(If you were playing a competitive team sport, would you allow the opposition to make the rules to suit themselves?).
(2). Analyse our own and our opponents’ strengths and weaknesses.
(What do they do that works, and why? The same for us. i.e. What resources do they possess, and how do they use them? Who or what enables them to operate as they do? If they have a less-committed level of supporters, can we (metaphorically) separate the head from the body?).

I’m in the UAE, full time position with a consulting company here. I got my residency visa yesterday. Back to Maldives tonight. Kazakhstan in a week and then back to Maldives for who knows how long.
From an individual and international perspective, Australia is grossly under competitive. On the project I found out I basically cost them the most, but had the second worst take home pay, beaten only by Malaysian buddy. That got changed yesterday.
From here plan is to minimise any repatriations to Australia and build up assets in Thailand / UAE. Never paying tax in Australia again.
Workshop in OZ finally got 3 phase on yesterday. Almost 12 months of bureaucracy, a small illustration of the state of Australia. Will come back at Christmas and finish it and turn the keys over to Dad, Sister, BIL.

Sorry, I forgot about that but it seems so did ScoMo.
You call it good faith. Another way of saying that is that most people trusted the government to tell the truth and look after them.
I call them credulous nongs who didn’t confront the uncomfortable facts. Governments are not here to look after you. Maybe they should, but they don’t see it that way;
maybe we should look after ourselves.
Correct, it was a ‘worst case’ scenario: 3711 people confined for 5 weeks, and tested daily with overclocked PCRs:
– Older and sicker than average (cruise ships are floating nursing homes)
– Locked up in their little boxes, breathing recycled air (no sunlight, no fresh air
– No real understanding of mode of spread/countermeasures (TBH, given it was airborne and masks and surface cleaning useless – not really a negative)
– No knowledge of preventative measures (Vit D, C etc)
– No real knowledge of therapeutics (D, C, HydroxyQ, IVM etc)
Despite this, we knew by March 2020 that, in the above setting, only
– 19% even managed a positive PCR
– only 0.4% died – all elderly passengers, none of the younger crew more closely matching the general populations
Oh they knew alright, they knew by March 2020 that this was nothing special – and they shut down the world for 2+ years, stole our freedoms and ruined our childrens futures anyway…. the question is WHY.
Vicki.
Thank you for your post, and the acknowledgement. I did lose employment ($55,000+ in lost wages, leave, super, etc, while ‘suspended’ without pay), and have been teetering on the verge of homelessness for some time now (renting on the Sunshine Coast is a nightmare). I’ve managed just recently to gain a few hours of casual work, which is helping to pay electrickery, rego, etc, but as a single, with a dog, it has been challenging. Both I and my dog (my family) need dental work, my car is not sounding the best, and at my age and with my work experience (entry-level*, 15 years with the last employer who doesn’t give references and regards me as persona non grata), it has been a struggle. If nothing else, I am resilient, but that resilience slowly chips away at the edges.
* The ambitious plans we had when younger don’t always work out, hence my occasional refrain about ‘doing the best we can with what we have.’
No doubt I’ll regret revealing all of this in a public forum, but I do so in the hope that someone lurking knows that you don’t have to be super-confident and successful to comment here. Come and join Team Muddy, and we’ll riff-raff our way with recklessness!
Time was that it was understood that public servants got less pay than their private sector counterparts because they had extra job security.
It’s an interesting article of faith in Trustedbloggerland that the Covid vaccines are not actual vaccines because they don’t prevent the receiver catching the disease, or stop it passing on. Obviously the corollary is that the WHO/CDC etc are fiddling with the definition to delight and enrich Bill Gates.
It’s strange then that nobody has pinged the cholera vaccines, that for the past 100+ years have saved millions of lives from a disgusting death.
Because the cholera jab (or tab), even when it’s successful in stopping you from shitting the lining of your gut and leaking out your bodily fluids, doesn’t stop you getting cholera, or many of the symptoms, or stop you passing the disease on.
You don’t have evidence, dot. What you are trading on is a logical possibility. Still, this morning, there appears to have been a successful Kinzhal strike that has destroyed a Patriot battery in Kiev that fired about 30 missiles in its defense. So the logical possibility is probably very very low.
It’s inspiring to see someone with your moral toughness, Muddy. Hang in there, mate.

Lets go back to using a more accurate term then, ‘Immunisations’ – if said shot don’t make you immune, it ain’t an immunisation.
And while we are at it, lets stop referring to ‘booster shots’ and stick to an honest description – ‘remedial shots’…. when I was at school, the kids who failed maths didn’t go into a booster class, they went into a remedial class.
Which is why insurgents always win in the end – wars are expensive and using a million dollar munition to kill a $20 insurgent always proves too costly in the end…
After last nights discussion, I did some research on this and found that the ‘Grim Reapers’ guys had wargamed this on their channel, achieving a 1/4 success rate for the Patriot against the Kinzhal, but noting that this was with the Patriot active and waiting (ie no reaction time) and with the Kinzhal fired directly at the Patriot battery (ie no ‘off angle’).

So many things wrong, saving the planet TheirABC-style:
Why not ‘recycle’ working appliances to people who want to buy them? What is wrong with these people?
Oh, and has anyone here thrown away 27kg of electronics in the last year? Bullshit.
I don’t know what the economics of recycling these products are, but if they were any good, everyone would be doing it.
They’re not.
I turfed a dead laser printer and a widescreen that decided to go purple. Possibly almost the kg amount suggested. Off to the recyclers who pull out everything saleable.
The year before it was the induction cooker. Again, everything salvageable was stripped out.
I asked that question at the local RSPCA charity shop. The garbled answer was ‘liability if someone is injured’.
It appears that the demographic that buys a secondhand electrical thing from a charity shop is also likely to return with Sue, Grabbit and Runne Personal Injury Lawyers claiming $5,000 for nervous shock due to some malfunction.

Same with the Salvo’s. To sell second hand electrical goods would mean having them all checked and cleared from a licensed person to give the all clear. Cost of that plus potential legal action if something went wrong put an end to it … that was few years back when mum was in the game.

Meanwhile in the loonie NT, the local legal system is so useless it’s build-a-fence time rather than catch the perps and lock them up:
An Alice Springs mosque is hoping to fundraise $22,000 for a new fence after being the target of ‘constant’ rock throwing attacks. Read why they say the situation is deteriorating.
The nation’s second oldest mosque has been under siege by youths throwing rocks and bottles of liquor at the building at “any time of day or night” for more than a year.
Alice Springs Islamic Society vice president Syed Ali said the rock attacks had broken all the solar panels on the mosque, and had broken the windows of his car, as well as those of multiple other community members.
He said the attacks had gotten so bad that last year the mosque’s Imam left town after his wife received a minor injury following a rock-throwing incident.
“It’s the same group throwing the rocks every, single day, every, single night, throwing rocks at the mosque,” Mr Ali said.
“They are throwing alcohol bottles at the driveway, we don’t drink alcohol as it’s prohibited in Islam and they were throwing bottles at us and on the mosque fence, breaking the mosque fence. It’s just unstoppable”.
A GoFundMe has now been created by members of the Islamic society to raise money to build taller fences around the mosque to prevent further damage.
“We are under attack from the local youth who are pelting stones at the mosque on a daily basis causing excessive damage to the mosque and its surroundings,” it says.
“(The) local community consists of around 250 families and this is the only mosque in the central Australian region with brothers coming here to pray from as far as 500km.
“We are doing our best to raise this issue with the police and local authorities but the situation is deteriorating and no one is able to help us.
“We need these funds urgently to make sure people feel safe while worshipping inside the mosque.
“Please help us save the second oldest mosque in Australia, built by Afghan travellers back in the 19th Century.”
The fundraiser comes after a local tow-truck driver lost sight in one eye after a rock was thrown at him during a late night job.

Muddy, the two sons of my first marriage, for whom life has not delivered as they may have expected in their teens, have both received good care of drug-damaged teeth from the Sydney Dental Hospital. They failed one son recently by refusing a root canal therapy in favour of an extraction of his last tooth on his lower left side, so I paid $1500 for that work so he could still chew, as I have also paid in the past for their teeth before they found out about their eligibility for public care. But now the Dental Hospital have come good again with root canal therapy for another tooth. Perhaps you could get your teeth fixed by some similar public dental system in Queensland. Don’t give up on your teeth, as you need them all of your life. The drawback is it can seem very demeaning, but I did use the Dental Hospital in the 60’s when I was broke and at uni. They can let students loose on you, but under supervision.

The episode goes to great lengths to convince us that Tayler really has become a woman. ‘I have all the right bits in all the right places’, he says, stressing that this is his ‘real body’. Contestants are offered the chance to ‘take the new model for a test drive’.
That this is anything but natural becomes painfully clear when Tayler describes the two hours he must spend every day using an ‘oversized dildo’ to ‘stretch out’ his new ‘vagina’. In one of the crassest statements I have ever had the misfortune of hearing, Tayler tells us that: ‘I specified that I wanted a penny slot machine, but it came out more like the Grand Canyon.’

It is obvious that there is a well of disgust at our political masters and their demagoguery, which may just turn to rage if they try it on again.
But, but…..
I see no-one agrees with me about advising someone here to seek public dental care. But I am a practical person and have had a lot of experience with being broke myself or having two broke sons and other broke rellies. So I make no apologies for any suggestions here that might help and encourage. When you are broke, do whatever you can to keep yourself fit and together, don’t lose hope, and don’t self-neglect. It is all too easy to do that, and so please don’t think I don’t know. I did what I could for my teeth – but I wasn’t brought up to use a toothbrush. Both my parents and their generation had false teeth by the time they were twenty-one. Only in recent times have I been able to afford a bridge and crowns and have the hours to spend in a dental chair to redress earlier damage.
When at 15 I was a receptionist in a doctor’s office the kindly dentist next door would occasionally haul one of us girls in for a free filling, improving on the dire fillings that were occasionally given with no anaesthetic by the rare school dentist in primary school years. We didn’t earn enough to pay him and probably wouldn’t have spent on our teeth anyway; make up and dresses and food and rent were where my meagre savings went.
Muddy, if self-disclosure here worries you, don’t let it. Others too have periods of self-doubt and anguish. Mine tend to be over my children and grandchildren these days. Both of my two older sons have been through drug addiction and periods of extreme self-neglect and disheartenment. Constant support has helped them to survive, although one ended up in prison for six months, where some dental treatment is offered to many who otherwise never went near it. My two children with Hairy have both now some major life-changing problems with their baby sons. Life is never smooth. The Cats I have met have all been good people, some have become dear friends and all have had disappointments in life, that is par for the course. So there is plenty of understanding here too.
I’m heading back to the fifth century now where first world dentistry was unknown and life for so many was nasty, brutal and short. The resilience of people then is nothing short of amazing.

Heard on the canbra news that a drag queen story telling event at Goulburn library has been cancelled coz threatening letters have been sent. Can’t guarantee council safety.
The Australian Federal Police only charged Bruce Lehrmann for the rape of Brittany Higgins because of publicity and because the alleged assault is said to have taken place inside Parliament House, an inquiry has heard.
Mark Tedeschi KC, who is representing ACT chief prosecutor Shane Drumgold SC, said he would make a submission that the “bizarre approach” of the AFP towards Mr Lehrmann was in part because his client had established a committee to probe sex assault investigations and officers were resentful.
Having watched the Inquiry my take is Mr. Tedeschi is now pointing the finger at the police in the hope of muddying the water and taking the heat off Drumgold. I’d like to hear his justification for usage of “bizarre approach” of the AFP. Whereas Drumgold’s behavior, based on testimony to date, might well fall into this category.
Lizzie, you made a comment and in the next 40 minutes nobody mentioned your post at all. I don’t see how that then becomes “no one agrees with me”.

No, you are not “vaccinated” with that sh*t. Do not pretend otherwise. Depending on the batch number you got, the only thing that happened was an attack on your immune system.
I know someone who’s not vaccinated and has had Covid twice.
Really? What test did they use.? The flawed PCR or RAT test? More likely they had the seasonal flu.
Said with respect. I said the same thing to dad.
I’ve never been vaccinated and if I’ve had Covid I’ve never noticed.
The body you get is what you get. I suspect there’s a lot of cross-immunity with other coronaviruses, but the medical profession have a very strong professional incentive not to look into that. Anyone who did so would be cast out into the outer darkness where only MAGA Trump people exist, miserably.

Mr Kato said El Ninos can cause drier than normal conditions that tend to encompass large regions of eastern and parts of northern Australia, often leading to warmer than average daytimes.
“It also increases fire weather,” he said.
“These are the type of weather conditions that increase the risk of bushfires spreading rapidly.
“It also increases frost risk, increases the risk of coral bleaching in the Great Barrier Reef and also often causes fewer tropical cyclones on average.”
But it ensures that the lion shall not lie down with the lamb. Is there anything else bad that he forgot to include?
Ok Lizzie, I accept your dental recommendation for public dental hospital. I had my impacted wisdom tooth out there under local about 40 years ago. It was the prof himself that did it and I was thoroughly satisfied at the end of it. Bejabbers though I wuz drained when I went out and tried to climb on my bike afterwards.
Dams and hazard reduction could solve the problems of El Nino and you get fewer tropical cyclones as a benefit.

Not once, not ever have I passed judgment or condemned anyone here for not getting the Covid jab. I have family and friends who’ve had the jab and I have family and friends who haven’t had the jab. From day one, I’ve made it clear that it’s a decision for the individual, a decision I respect. Yet, here on this blog, I can’t help but note that those who are the most judgmental and virulent are the unjabbed and some seem to make it a personal crusade to condemn those of us who made the decision to get the jab. As for lockdowns, from day one I was against them, in fact I don’t know anyone here, jabbed or unjabbed, who supported the lockdowns or vaccine mandates.
Quite frankly I’m sick of the abuse on those of us who made the decision. Perhaps those here who are “unjabbed” could respect my personal decision, and if they don’t and they start to be abusive, then piss off.
