“..it always amazes me how the various “victim” groups are unable to grasp that it’s the very people they keep demonising who empowered them when they didn’t have to.”
Yeah, this whole “you don’t know what it’s like being xxx” drives me crazy – self evidently I do not, since I am not xxx. And you do not know what it is like to be yyy – because you are not. What is your point? That you didn’t get a choice? Neither did I!
The law and other rules that we currently have are sufficient to allow anyone, regardless of race, colour, creed, religion, sex or sexuality to be successful – if they have the talent, skills, attitude and fortitude to do so. If you have none of these, then you can work hard to obtain them or overcome their lack, at which point you will succeed. Stop using your race/colour/creed/sex/sexuality/whatever as an excuse to be lazy – if your life is bad, get off your backside and do something about it! You are no more entitled to the fruits of the sweat of my brow than I am of yours. Turn your disadvantage into an advantage – if life hands you lemons, make lemonade and stop complaining that you think life handed me strawberries! I assure you life has handed me more than a few lemons, the same as most of the rest of the world and I did as most everyone has to – I got up, dusted myself off, said “Bugger! Didn’t see that one coming” and tried again. And again. And again. I try to learn from each mistake I make – and I have made and will continue to make plenty of them – to get something positive from it. So I ask no more of you than I require from myself.
Life is what you make it – if you make it nothing, it will be nothing, and there is no-one to blame but you.
In Hopefully the ABC Stenographer Became Confused and It’s Not Really Happening Like This news:
$100m spent on underground mapping before tunnelling woes, Snowy Hydro boss admits
Technical Note 1: In fact this “slurry machine” will be providing pressurised slurry to hold up the unconsolidated ground ahead of the TBM, and prevent water and loose material from falling into the excavation and extending the sinkhole that has the TBM trapped. In this situation, ‘liquefying the soil’ is not your friend.
Technical Note 2: Geomechanics 101 tells us that the high risk area in any underground excavation is where you have shallow cover, which may be unconsolidated and prone to collapse. In this case, exactly where Florence is presently stuck. So, perhaps a bit ambitious to claim “good coverage of the site”.
Technical Note 3: ‘Imaging’ the ground ahead and slaloming around any geological obstacles sounds pretty hi-tech and will no doubt thrill the Hon Senators. In reality, Florence is a big, complicated, 2,000 tonne behemoth capable (with extensive forward planning) of only very gentle steering (say 10mm in every 1000mm advance).
Not sure what ‘imaging’ Mr Barnes is imagining, but zigzagging around, reacting to difficult ground conditions on the fly, is not in the TBM Operating Manual. The cost and delay issues in this throwaway line are not insignificant.
Historical Note: Snowy 2.0 was gifted to Australia by Miserable Ghost, as a $2 bn ‘up and running by 2021’ windfall. Currently up and running towards $10 bn by 2029 – a few years after Eraring shuts down.

Some of these claims of Aboriginality would make Elizabeth Warren blush.
Andrews hasn’t figured out anything, he is just very lucky with his opposition as has already been pointed out. As far as I am concerned the opposition is as guilty for the situation in Victoria since they refuse to provide an acceptable alternative. Losing one election while they are learning is one thing but losing a series of elections means enemy action and they should be completely scrapped.
“You’ve pointed out it was frustrating for police, wasn’t it, trying to work with Ms Higgins to help develop the case?” she asked.
Why would plod be “working” with “nickerless” .. maybe I watch too much TV but my impression of investigating is the victim reports the crime and other than statements or ID parades leading to an arrest plod does the digging around not spend time “consulting” with the victim ……..
Somebody has been unkind enough to suggest that Campbell hands back his own medals…
The Daily Mail link above is prefaced by a story about Mafia intimidation and someone complying to corruption even though he knew it was wrong. Compliance comes readily with a gun to your head.
It then continues on ..
… and we see immediately that this is worse than the mafia, because it’s not intimidation from just one criminal organisation, this is intimidation by an ideology that has its grip on a whole society: this is what Communism is about. They come for you, your job and your family, they make you a non-person (like the old Soviet Deep-Sixing), and they stifle your right to say what you think, to live as you choose and to have an honest say in your own future.
Our one opportunity now is to say NO quite strongly to another attempt to blindside us with their fake blandishments while they implement yet more of their onerous ideology on the last bastion of a free people – on our Constitution. This is no kindly feel-good exercise to assist aboriginal people (they are not First Nations, they were never nations) and to simply ‘listen’ to representatives (unelected though they will be). This is a grab at power to change the very nature of our sovereignty. Worse will follow.
Time to say NO to more of the same.
Lady I know said to me today that the problem with the LIbs in Victoria is that the right wing has been taken over.Bollocks says I although more politely.

This whole “aboriginal identity” things should be assessed along the same lines as most countries have for reclaiming citizenship by descent. As far back as grandparents and no further.

Interesting recent report by RUSI on the progress of the war in Ukraine. One of the interesting tidbits being how well RUS electronic warfare is operating. Apparently, they are destroying roughly 10K UAVs every month.
Again, not having much to do …….I scanned a little handbook I have on the “Art of War” by Sun Tzu.
Reading through his chapter on “Planning Offensives”, I see the following entry:
“..the highest realisation of warfare is to attack the enemy’s plans; next to attack their alliances…..”
The Chinese have certainly been disrupting the existing middle eastern and even Pacific alliances of the US – notably the Saudis, Turkey, Iran, Malaysia and even France.
Further, now that the dollar is looking shaky, the yuan is looking good to these turncoats.
Friend of mine (female) genuinely believes the ABC is right wing!
From her point of view, she’s right too.
All through the 9 years of “Liberal” government, every time she switched on the ABC she saw Abbott, Turnbull or Morrison. That they were the government and naturally the centre of attention was of no account. She wanted an ABC on which they never appeared or were mentioned.
In other words, reality was right wing and she objected to it.
From Dr. Phillip Altman’s Substack today:
In one of the most grotesque votes ever taken in the Australian Senate, a majority of Senators voted NOT TO INVESTIGATE THE UNEXPLAINED NON-COVID EXCESS DEATHS WHICH HAVE OCCURRED SINCE THE INTRODUCTION OF THE COVID-19 “VACCINES”. This is horrifying and terrifying.
If there was any doubt whatsoever that our government is wilfully blind to the death and destruction they have caused…….this is it. The vaccine linked deaths amount to a 737 planeload of passengers unexpectedly falling from the sky every week since January 2021 and our government is not even curious as to why.
As documented by the Australian Bureau of Statistics, more than 10,000 Australians above historical averages are dying of heart attack, stroke, cancer, diabetes, dementia and other neurological diseases since the COVID “vaccines” were released near the start of 2021. These numbers do notinclude COVID declared deaths. This is the worst death rate since WWII and our government has not offered a credible explanation for the deaths. This is more than incompetence and dereliction of duty. In my view, this is sinister.

Just eff off.
Half of my relatives and probably a fair swathe of the rest of Australia could be making these sorts of silly claims in that case. If you don’t have at least an aboriginal (and not a part-part-aboriginal) grandpa or grandma then you aren’t aboriginal by any meaningful definition. You should also live in an aboriginal community or network. By any useful definition most aboriginal people, especially those who are needy, today live in the northern parts of Australia, especially if they live in remote communities. They don’t need a Canberra Voice, they need strong leadership and enforceable rules for living. They need more demountable housing in larger towns to facilitate movement away from remote communities and a proper education that dumps traditional culture in favour of useful learning for this century. There’s plenty of land rights money around to ensure they get a fair go without Albo’s Canberra vanity project. Let’s have some audits of where all the money given so far goes before we agree, as we should, to help out any more.
Eff the Voice.

Re the stupid Snowy project. Don’t know if someone else has said this but it seems that the gov exempted the project from a lot of environmental rules the rest of us have to obey. One of them is the law against transporting pest fish species into other waters. Well if you like fishing for trout in Eucumbene, Tantangara and Jindabyne, do it now. The project will draw water from the pondage at Khancoban and pump it up to Tantangara, which is the highest point on the Snowy Scheme, from there it will be released down into the lower lakes. All these lakes have only native species and trout, won’t be long till they have redfin and carp too.
I know a bloke wot knows a bloke, who got the job of auditing one of those money trials. He refused to “sign off on the accounts” and was hounded out of town, as a result.
Veterans say a fresh attempt by the defence force chief to strip service medals from soldiers is unwarranted.
General Angus Campbell has written to a number of Afghanistan war veterans saying their honours for distinguished and conspicuous service could be stripped, the ABC has reported.
The proposition has landed on the desk of Defence Minister Richard Marles, who would need to make a recommendation to the governor-general.
The possible stripping of medals comes in the wake of investigations into potential war crimes carried out by Australian soldiers in Afghanistan.
This bloke should be drummed out of the service. Disgusting.
Anyone named Angus should be ashamed – cattle will be embarrassed.
FMD just FMD, I just watched the Senate grilling the ABC’s Editor in Chief Anderson, and I can say without doubt that there is no hope for the ABC.

Ezekiel Narndu, 19, described as future leader of community during sentencing for Wadeye riots manslaughter
The 19-year-old who killed a man by throwing a steel bar through his skull was an emerging leader of Wadeye, set to be a ‘force for change’ in the community plagued by disadvantage, violence and gang activity, a court has heard.
The Wadeye teen who killed a man by throwing a steel bar through his skull was an emerging leader of the community who was a “force for change”, a court has heard.
Ezekiel Narndu, 19, was found guilty of reckless or negligent manslaughter earlier this month after causing the death of a 32-year-old man, known for cultural reasons as Mr Tcherna, in Wadeye on April 16, 2022.
In sentencing submissions at Darwin Supreme Court on Monday, both prosecution and defence lawyers spoke of Narndu’s prospects as a positive role model in the community often characterised by disadvantage, violence and gang activity.
Narndu graduated Year 12 in 2020, one of a group of seven who were the first to complete high school in Wadeye in 13 years.
The middle child of five boys, he was close with his family. The seven of them shared a two bedroom home where Narndu’s parents always made sure there was power on and food stocked in the fridge.
Narndu was a non-drinker and was working as a teacher’s aide coaching football at the local school, loved by students and teachers alike.
Crown prosecutor Steve Ledek said it was “very difficult” to put forward submissions for a man charged with “one of the most serious crimes” knowing the hopes that had been held for his future.
“There were expectations that a man with his obvious personality of calmness, care, consideration, and education … was going to change the way the community empower itself, give itself opportunities and be a force for change to the things that the community knew were endemically creating disharmony, chaos, disruption, and grief,” Mr Ledek said.
Defence lawyer Beth Wild said the offending was “very much a departure from character”, arguing Narndu had strong prospects for rehabilitation if he received a light sentence.
“It’s actually in the community’s interest to ensure that he doesn’t become a hardened criminal at Holtze correctional facility, that we let him back to the path that he was set upon before this tragic event occurred,” Ms Wild said.
During Narndu’s eight day trial it was revealed the then 18-year-old had been in a crowd of 150 people who were observing an attempt to mediate ongoing unrest between three family groups.
The Narndu family – one of the groups involved – was leading the peace talks, but were disrupted when a young man charged at two police officers with an axe.
Police were forced to retreat and chaos erupted, Narndu entering the fray and lobbing a steel rebar 30m through the air where it tragically speared Mr Tcherna through the face.
Prosecution argued Narndu’s actions were reckless and he threw the bar at Mr Tcherna knowing death was a possibility.
Defence have argued the bar was thrown randomly into the crowd as an act of “posturing”, and the death was an “incredibly unlucky” outcome from Narndu’s negligence.
Narndu will be sentenced at a later date.

That will sort out the fauxboriginals.
You’re fighting the wrong fight.
I’m happy to say to anyone down to 1/1024th that they are genetically Australian Aboriginal- but if they’re carrying phones, driving cars and talking money, they are culturally non-Aboriginal, full stop.
Even if they are, like my man David Unaipon say, a proud and full-blooded member of [their] race.
For too long we’ve let people sidestep responsibility because of their skin-deep physical appearance. I’ve just come back from an Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act laundry session, and let me say here and now the WA McGowan governement is willingly gifting the entire means of production to an Aboriginal Ruling Caste.
By any useful definition most aboriginal people, especially those who are needy, today live in the northern parts of Australia, especially if they live in remote communities. They don’t need a Canberra Voice, they need strong leadership and enforceable rules for living. They need more demountable housing in larger towns to facilitate movement away from remote communities and a proper education that dumps traditional culture in favour of useful learning for this century.
Well said, Lizzie! This is exactly what is needed. Sadly, the damage done in encouraging “return to country” & traditional culture/language as basis of education of Aboriginal kids is now so mainstream that I doubt if it can be overturned.
Noel Pearson, for all his recent pigheadedness in relation to the Voice, has done a remarkable job in the Hope community in northern Qld in using “direct education” (AKA teacher oriented instruction of basic education learning modules) to educate community kids up there.
It has not been popular with the Woke establishment in Canberra, but it works.

Ezekiel Narndu, 19, described as future leader of community during sentencing for Wadeye riots manslaughter
The circumstances of this dreadful event can hardly be imagined by most Australians who live in capital cities. Places like Wadeye are tinder boxes for these community disputes. By maintaining these communities we have almost frozen history in relation to Aboriginal life and culture. The same family and clan disputes continue to cause terrible violence and deaths.
And will “The Voice” disband these hellholes and give the Aborigines some hope of a useful and safe existence? Oh sure!
Of course it is terrifying – for the politicians. There is no way they can allow the consequences of the lockdowns and compulsory vaccines which they approved to be determined. Everything must be consigned to forgettery (thanks to Therese Rudd for the word).

The saddest were the cases in the Kimberleys, where children who had been “away to school” returned to their Third World sh!tholes, the cycle of abuse began again, and they took their own lives as a result.
Lizzie, they have strong leadership but the wrong kind, the worst kind, all power and no care, compassion or leadership. It is completely at odds with raising a new generation of productive, independent and autonomous people. The longer this situation continues the worse it will become. The only salvation is closing the remote communities and moving the occupants to large metropolitan centres. The culture is the toxic and needs to be diluted with world norms.

Summary:
Combining gross incompetence with the violation of international law, historical problems with CIA have gotten worse under George W. Bush. The intelligence reform act passed last year didn’t address them; and the current director Porter Goss appears oblivious to them. These problems have for years plagued the two main functions of the agency: intelligence gathering and covert action.
Decades of failure.

Despair that anything will be done simply because the rescued, city aboriginals need the hell holes to hold over our heads to extort power and money. I consider them the most culpable for the conditions in NT and remote communities in other states. I am horrified at how little real fellow feeling they have for those whom they claim to be of their own race.

Calvary Health Care at ‘impasse’ with government as protesters lament ‘diabolical’ hospital takeover
There’s also been an outcry from religious communities, with the Australian Christian Lobby protesting outside the Legislative Assembly on Wednesday, urging the ACT Government to reconsider the acquisition.
CEO Wendy Francis labelled the takeover as a “diabolical act” and urged Calvary to bring an injunction against the legislation the government introduced to make this possible.

I thought I’d edumacate myself, so I searched for the bolded phrase. Interestingly, the first umpteen hits are all about our friend Marcus. In fact, they all seem to be that (disclaimer… only a couple of pages searched).
One thing that did come up (though not with the exact phrase) was this, from the Taungurung Land and Water Council web site (surely, one might think, authoritative?) :
It is interesting how proud our Marcus is of his “Nira illim bulluk”-icity in light of the fact that his “nation” doesn’t appear to have heard of said -icity.
So I am left to ponder, but none the better educmacated.

So another Victorian council is going to abolish Australia Day, this time it’s Geelong. A council no doubt dominated by the left, yet one wonders just what the residents of Geelong think.
If the right want to change the zeitgeist, if they to claw back power and if they want to try and change things, then they need to do what the Greens did, and start with local councils. It’s the only way.

Quite so.
Always fly just below the radar, bons. Live dangerously, but not too much.
I don’t recall Morrison saying one word about “freedom” during his tenure as PM. Instead, under his watch, this country endured catastrophic lockdowns and vaccine mandates, men and women were routinely bashed, beaten and bludgeoned by police, a pregnant woman was cuffed in her own home by police, and Morrison said nothing about our freedom or our civil liberties. Hypocrite.
My pleasure.
marcus the professional on twitter
I think a good start in bringing councils to heal would be to stop paying aldermen or whatever they’re called now. It used to be unpaid. If we had decent State governments, councils like Geelong would be sacked. Councils- a magnet for the untalented and self important. Also, it’s very important to know who not to vote for in council elections.
How does that ‘burger with the lot’ taste now then ?

The Turd is obviously a lot smarter than we care to admit.
Never forget that Scott Morrison was Malcom Turnbull’s nominated successor of the loony left of the SFLs, which caused his catastrophic defeat.
Morrison was Turnbull’s useful idiot who betrayed the SFL base. Remember that Turnbull sought membership of the SFLs only after he had been rejected for membership of the ALP.

The fox subscription is looking very shaky.
I have questions (possibly rhetorical).
This rally for Modi was held in Australia not India right? It looked like the whole crowd was Indian. Did they fly in on holidays especially for it or would they be residents / citizens of this great land? I’m concerned about their loyalty to us if citizens.
Perhaps they are residents who are here to live a safe and prosperous life before retiring back to India one day (similar to other migrants who make use of our pensions back home)?
On another tangent, with the Feds sucking up to India and the states sucking up to China are they hoping that those two may settle any military disputes here, thus preserving their own lands? Maralinga would make a great battleground for them I think.
I don’t think there is any loyalty to Australia from either other than to the extent they can get something from us. But then so is the US at present.
Hence my screen name.
Beautiful, perfect twin babies and a mother’s courage.
As far as I am concerned, the whole Trumble-Morrison debacle was thanks to Howard. It’s not just the collapse of the lieboral pardy- it’s the serious damage done to Australia by the absence of half decent government for many, many years.
Why does the phrase “White as Snow White’s bum” spring to mind?
Hopefully the scab labour Indian hordes will give me $2 mill cash for my dump of a house in Sicktoria. Then I’m gone!
“was thanks to Howard”
Back in 2004, Howard helped Turdbull stab Peter King. And then in 2010 he implored Turdbull not to resign. Both catastrophic mistakes.
I’m heartened to hear that King and his supporters have taken back control of the Wentworth branch of the Liberal Party, and King has shafted the execrable Sally Betts, who was one of the Turd’s chief enablers.
Good news.
Perhaps they are residents who are here to live a safe and prosperous life before retiring back to India one day (similar to other migrants who make use of our pensions back home)?
It wasn’t a freebie either .. $20 entrance .. imagine paying to go to a political rally .. wonder if they charge to go to these events in India? ..

I agree; Morrison has all the moral suasion of a fart in a phone box.
Nonetheless, I also “…respectfully won’t be deferring to the NRL for constitutional advice to guide my decision.”
Similarly KC’s and academics telling me that the wording is “legally sound” and an improving addition to the Constitution.
Happy for you to disagree with me.
“Happy for you to disagree with me.”
I don’t, and I actually agree with Morrison’s point. It’s just that given his recent history, he should shut up.
The only people who exhibit spontaneous violence are the clinically insane, and even then you could argue it is against a perceived threat (which only they can see). Everybody else who practises violence has identified a new gap between how they perceive the world to be and how they desire the world to be, their desire isn’t budging, and they can’t see any other option working. It is not spontaneous in the slightest because it has a cause, it does not appear out of nothing. It’s probably a mistaken perception and almost certainly an unwise course of action, but to call it spontaneous is at least a misnomer. The very fact that ASIO can predict this shows it has a cause and a buildup – not spontaneous. Of course one hopes that the legislature is still in charge of the public service, but the Government should take this message from ASIO as a hint that the Yes campaign must employ more Realpolitik, more listening to the opposing argument, less sneaking around the referendum with State-level contrivances, and less brinksmanship on the consequences of a No result.
I’d also suggest that the No campaign (if it ever raises its head above water) should talk about alternative resolutions to these (apparent) intercultural rifts, to be applied in the case of a No result, so that No isn’t simply No, rather a “No, but…”.
It’s not Peter Dutton’s claim, it’s your own proposal. It’s not called the “People of Unspecified Origin Voice To Parliament” is it? Just stop lying about the InVoice, it can’t be that difficult.
That’s the woke mind virus at work, deploying a double standard of interpretation. Every insulting tone and offensive statement that they make will be excused by themselves as simply unarguable relevant literal truth, and any substantive statement their opponents make about the issue will be dismissed as merely an unhelpful tone.
I know I always end up going anywhere that I invite myself to. That’s how invitations work, isn’t it? Isn’t it?
The only two reasons I can imagine anybody would get violent about this referendum is if they either 1) did not want to decide the issue democratically, or 2) believed No are in the majority and that the referendum will be rigged or bypassed.
All sides should try to talk down or rein-in their own extreme members. All sides should work to convince us that this decision process is not railroaded and that their arguments would result in the best outcome for most people (obviously).
I knew Trumble was a creep back when he was doing spycatcher and was working for Packer. Howard didn’t think so apparently.

Yes, I agree, their current leadership stinks. I’m thinking of a complete reworking of their Big Man approach to things, including auditing the money and redirecting it to sensible people like Jacinta represents. As for the communities, detribalisation should be encouraged; they are already drifting away and if better housing was available in centres of employment, that would help the process.
If I could I’d bulldoze those remote communities, Nugget Coombes dream, and dismantle the Rousseau Noble Savage ‘attachment to land’. Get real land ownership like we all have – of our homes.

Speaking of home lands, we’ve just spent a lovely day in our lower garden with some tree men doing work on various palms, including a date palm that needed to be cut to be higher. The guys cut into three layers of massive fronds and carried them, prickly things, up five flights of steps to the road. It looks great now. One of the offsiders looked at our 400 odd square metres below a big cliff of rock ledges, at the big area of mown grass we’ve established in the middle, at the big old Jacaranda and Gum and other trees and tall palms of some age, and our new orchard plantings now thriving, and said this looks at though it should be a public park.
We couldn’t have had a better compliment. I wandered around picking off bugs and curled leaves, pulling up weeds and picking up some small sticks for the compost area and it felt like a very productive day. Hairy supervised the cutting back of the mulberry and some other things gone haywire.

Yes it sure does and my attitude to him has gone from quite like to deeply dislike. Especially after his most recent comments about Trump.
That’s Anusol, apparently quite effective as a temporary fix for wrinkles about the eyes.
I’ve seen Zulu villages in South Africa, where the locals live in mud huts, the men still herd their cattle, and the women do their washing in the nearest river, There is none of the squalor and hopelessness you see in local “remote communities” and the children are bright eyed, cheerful and proud of being who they are.
Oh, and in one community, two perverts who couldn’t keep their hands off the children were dragged down to the community rubbish dump, given a short trial, and “necklaced” then and there.
