Greens defence spokesman David Shoebridge described the defamation judgment as “an important win for fearless journalism in the public interest”.

Tall or short – the very definition of racism.

This be how you do shit. Chris Fagan, I applaud you. Herald Sun:

A legal letter sent by lawyers for Brisbane Lions coach Chris Fagan on Sunday helped turn the Hawthorn racism scandal on its head.

The email informed the four First Nations families at the centre of the saga that Fagan was set to launch a Supreme Court injunction against the AFL and its independent investigation panel.

The families were told that the move would see them become “defendants” in a court battle over the racism probe where they would be identified “by name”.

The email from Clayton Utz partner Scott Sharry and senior associate Stephen Hurford to the families’ lawyer Leon Zwier reads: “Our client intends in the week commencing 29 May 2023, and no later than Thursday, 1 June 2023, to commence a proceeding in the Supreme Court of Victoria for orders in the nature of permanent injunctions restraining the continuation of the investigation.

“The proceeding … will include each of your clients as defendants, identifying each by name, on the basis that they are (with others) necessary parties because they are directly affected by the relief to be sought.

“The proceeding to be filed will not disclose any “information” as defined in the Deed concerning your clients other than their names.

“As the proceeding progresses, however, additional ‘information’ will be disclosed as part of the proceeding. Your clients will be notified in advance of each disclosure pursuant to the Deed.”

The families discussed the contents of the email with Zwier during a crisis meeting on Monday.

The letter gave the families until 4pm Monday to respond.

The prospect of a deal between the players and their families and the AFL appeared dead in the water on Sunday, but on Tuesday night league boss Gillon McLachlan announced the Hawthorn racism investigation was over and that no “adverse findings’’ were found against former Hawks coach Alastair Clarkson, former club football manager Fagan and former welfare boss Jason Burt.

In turn, the families agreed not to take legal action against the league.

The families, who had been determined to receive an apology from the former Hawks trio, were instead given a generic apology by the league to any Indigenous player who had suffered racism in the history of the game.

At least one of the families involved now regrets agreeing to the AFL deal in the belief they were used as a pawn aimed at resolving the eight-month racism dispute.

Fagan engaged law firm Clayton Utz after the scandal erupted in grand final week last year.

The former Hawks footy boss has repeatedly said he would welcome the opportunity to give his side of the story.

“I am not a party to the agreement between the complainants, the investigation panel and the AFL,” Fagan said in a statement on Tuesday.

“But I stand vindicated by it. I have made no concessions. There are none to make.

“I have always vigorously defended myself, and will always do so, as I have done nothing wrong.”

Clarkson, Fagan and Burt have all denied wrongdoing.

Fagan and Zwier were contacted for comment.

you all reminded me about this fascinating story.

Which has Ms Panahi frothing at the mouth:

Gillon McLachlan’s legacy will be tainted by the AFL’s mishandling of the Hawthorn scandal. The AFL CEO who has enjoyed a golden run from the friendly football media stands accused of trying to strongarm Alastair Clarkson and the Hawthorn Football Club.

Sources at Hawthorn say that the AFL were pushing the club to stump up around $1m as part of the deal with the aggrieved families, but the club wisely declined to pay. It may be the first smart thing Hawthorn has done throughout this damaging saga, though it came at a cost with a furious AFL threatening possible penalties if the club is found to have brought the game into disrepute.

McLachlan owns much of this self-inflicted mess thanks to the eagerness with which he has embraced, and encouraged AFL clubs to embrace, toxic race politics. Hawthorn felt compelled to commission the Binmada Review, aka “the racism report”, due in part to the culture McLachlan has proudly cultivated: one steeped in racial grievances and identity politics.

Once troubled former star Cyril Rioli made claims, including one against then president Jeff Kennett making a joke about his wife’s ripped jeans that the couple saw as racist and “the final straw”, (Gawd almighty) the club felt duty bound to launch an investigation into possible racial discrimination at the club.

There are board members at Hawthorn who should be gravely concerned about their complicity in this saga and the potential for years of costly court action, reputational damage, plus the prospect of AFL penalties such as fines, loss of draft picks and/or premiership points if it is determined that the club engaged in conduct that was “unbecoming or likely to prejudice the interests or reputation of the AFL or to bring the game of football into disrepute”.

A mob calling themselves Hawks for Change who purport to be a grassroots campaign stand accused of plunging the club into a devastating crisis. The slick and undeniably Leftist political operatives have progressively taken control at the club with current president Andy Gowers and board members Ian Silk and James Merlino (who served as Premier Dan Andrews’ deputy ) among their ranks. Whether fairly or unfairly Silk is the man many within Hawthorn consider to have the greatest culpability for the deeply flawed “racism report”.

Silk is seen by many at the club as chiefly responsible for selecting Phil Egan to complete the review without doing the necessary due diligence on the activist and former Richmond player. Those same sources, and they are plentiful in number, also question how Silk, who was adamant that Hawthorn should dump their profitable poker machines, can now chair the Crown Melbourne board.

But contradictions and hypocrisy are not rare in the AFL. Indeed only in the bizarre world inhabited by the AFL can this week make any sense. On Tuesday night the AFL announced the finalisation of their shambolic eight-month probe into the Hawthorn affair declaring “no adverse findings have been made in the independent investigation against any of the individuals against whom allegations have been made”. But in the same announcement they acknowledged the “hurt, pain and anguish” the complainants feel following their time at the Hawthorn FC.

So, which is it? Do the complainants have cause to feel pain and anguish, or are the accused innocent of the grievous allegations levelled against them? Either the three men have done something warranting an apology or they have not.

Taking the absurdity one step further the league also announced: “The AFL is only able to impose sanctions for breaches of AFL rules on persons subject to the AFL rules and respects the right of the various parties to the investigation (and those who decided not to participate) to pursue claims in other legal forums. Today’s outcomes do not interfere with those rights.” So the league determines that the accused, Clarkson, Chris Fagan and Jason Burt, have no case to answer but they then handball the entire catastrophe back to Hawthorn and the three men who now face action in the Australian Human Rights Commission. And, anyone familiar with that body knows that the process is the punishment. Even if they are ultimately exonerated of all blame, the process is typically lengthy, stressful and costly. This ugly saga will sadly continue long after McLachlan has belatedly handed the reins to his successor, Andrew Dillon.

Racism is always in the eyes of the beholder.
Obviously.

As Australia passes the milestone of 100,000 electric vehicles on our roads, an environmental downside is looming: huge numbers of batteries that could end up in landfill.

“Is anyone as sick of this shit, as I am?”

Yep.

The latest in this part of the world is that the new Aboriginal Heritage Legislation should render “Reconciliation” a farce and a sham. Oh, and asking how someone with an Aboriginal great great grandfather can claim Aboriginal heritage, is enough to brand you as a racist of the deepest hue.

Dunno.
Looks like just back to normal after a covid concession expired.

It’s a race which nation ends up with no people by 2100. US fertility rate down to 1.665.

Births stayed flat in 2022, with numbers down among younger women

About 3.66 million babies were born in the U.S. in 2022, essentially unchanged from 2021 and 15% below the peak hit in 2007, according to new federal figures released Thursday.

The provisional total—3,661,220 births—is about 3,000 below 2021’s final count, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Center for Health Statistics. Final government data expected later this year could turn that small deficit positive.

Experts have pointed to a confluence of factors behind the nation’s recent relative dearth of births, including economic and social obstacles ranging from child care to housing affordability.

Absent increases in immigration, fewer births combined with ongoing baby boomer retirements will likely weigh on the labor force supply within the next 10 years, said Kathy Bostjancic, chief economist at Nationwide, an insurance and financial-services company.

“You’re going to have a real shortage of workers unless we have technology somehow to fill the gap,” Bostjancic said.

The government tallied about 655,000 fewer births in 2022 than the 2007 high of 4.32 million, reflecting ongoing decreases. With still-elevated deaths due in part to the latter phase of the Covid-19 pandemic, the U.S. in 2022 saw only about 385,000 more births than deaths.

The 2022 total might tick higher when final data is tallied later this year. Final 2021 births were about 5,000 above the provisional number; for 2020, the final tally was about 8,400 greater.
Fertility remains below ‘replacement’ level

The total fertility rate—closely watched because a level of 2.1 children per woman is the “replacement rate” needed for a population to maintain current levels—was 1.665 in 2022. That was essentially unchanged from 1.664 in 2021 and only a slight recovery from a record low in 2020.
Replacement level: 2.1 ’60’501940’10’20’70’80’9020001.52.02.53.03.54.0

The U.S. has generally been below replacement level since the early 1970s.
Hispanic fertility rates climb

The general fertility rate for Hispanic mothers increased 4% in 2022, second only to people of Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander origin. Fertility rates among Asian women rose 3%; rates for all other groups fell.

Hispanic mothers accounted for 25.5% of U.S. births in 2022, a record, while the shares of births from non-Hispanic white and Black women declined. White women accounted for 50.1% of births in 2022, Black women for 13.9%, and Asian women for 6%.
Birthrates continue declining among the young

The trend of decreasing birthrates among younger women continued in 2022. For teens ages 15 to 19, the birthrate fell 3%, and for ages 20 to 24 it was down 2%. The rate for the next oldest group, 25 to 29, edged up only slightly. Increases were mainly seen among women 35 to 44.

Total disaster.

For example, Jacka VC was an enthusiastic killer; there was more than one Aussie massacre of prisoners in WWI, and I have a nice account of Australian Spitfires shooting Japanese aviators descending under parachutes.

A relative of mine was awarded the MC in WW1 for attacking an enemy position in the company of another and despatching several sitzpinklers.
I wonder how that would be regarded today.
They would probably face intense interrogation as to whether they could have simply taken the last sitzpinkler captive, given they had the numerical advantage at that point.
