Newspoll: Less than half Aussies intend to vote ‘yes’ on voice

You go girl. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if it went down the low 30s dead equal with the liars voting base. This should make the really shot themselves too.

The only thing you owe the public is a good performance.

Cassie, you should go along just to throw a spanner in the works.

Dot…

Whilst I don’t like to give credit to Pollies, Dutton has out thought Albanese on ‘Da Voice’. His questions have raised more questions which Albanese can’t or won’t answer or he has contradicted previous answers.

If he would just have a bit more courage on other issues.

Can’t get into the city for your dose? Don’t worry, the mong in chief has it sorted. Hun:

Mobile injecting buses have been raised as an option to service Melbourne’s CBD, as plans for a second drug facility in the city have “stalled”.

High level sources told the Herald Sun the concept of mobile injecting buses was one of the key discussion points between former top cop Ken Lay and stakeholders as part of his report into an injecting room for the city.

“They are mini buses with booths where people can safely inject. The model could be adopted as an effective trial in different locations before a fixed site is decided upon,” one source said.

It comes as government insiders told the Herald Sun plans for a second injecting room in Melbourne’s CBD had “stalled”, with fierce debate continuing over whether 244 Flinders St was an appropriate site to offer the service.

In major European cities including Barcelona and Berlin the mini buses, or vans, are fitted out with two to three injection booths.

In 2017, Montreal launched its first safe injecting site, alongside a two-booth mobile unit.

Some buses move to different locations, while others stay in a fixed spot that is well-known for drug use and dealing.

The buses are sometimes parked outside existing health services, with signage on the vehicles that say “safe consumption”.

The state government refused to comment on mobile injecting buses in the city when asked by the Herald Sun.

The Andrews government last week received a report from Mr Lay into an injecting room for Melbourne’s CBD.

Mr Lay’s report was meant to be finalised at the end of 2020 but the government pushed it back blaming the pandemic and changed drug user behaviour.

He was tasked with writing the report amid concerns the area has a high proportion of heroin overdoses, but traders have railed against the facility being placed near them.

The state government bought 244 Flinders St for $40.3m in 2021.

New Freedom of Information documents between Mr Lay and the Department of Health also reveal key issues facing Melbourne’s CBD.

The documents said the city had suffered “disproportionate, significant economic impacts during the pandemic” and recovery was an additional factor for consideration for location of an injecting room.

A spokesman from Keep Our City Alive, who are a group of residents calling for an injecting room in Melbourne’s CBD, said with one person dying from overdose each month in the CBD, the need for such a facility had never been greater.

“We call on the Andrews Government to urgently identify a site for a second supervised injecting room in the City of Melbourne, and prevent any further lives lost to overdose in our city,” the spokesman said.

Victorian Alcohol and Drug Association chief executive Sam Biondo said he had “serious concerns” there was no determination by the state government to offer an injecting room in Melbourne.

“Those concerns are based on the continuing number of deaths that are occurring in the city and the increasing number of ambulance call-outs,” Mr Biondo said.

Opposition Mental Health spokeswoman Emma Kealy said: “CBD businesses, residents, and the AOD sector simply want clarity on what Labor’s plans are for Melbourne’s CBD. Is it an injecting room, an injecting bus or simply a drug outreach services as outlined in the budget?”

A state government spokeswoman said Mr Lay’s report had been provided to the Mental Health Minister.

“We are considering its recommendations and will release the report, and a government response, in due course,” the spokeswoman said.

Warped priorities I can only say.

Moira Deeming news:

Exiled Liberal MP Moira Deeming has been labelled many things in recent months — a friend to trans-activists has not been among them.

Until now.

Deeming has caught up with Tosh Finnigan, who claims to be the first trans-identifying local councillor in Victoria.

And Finnigan — who scholarly readers might recall as the whistleblower for the Andrews Government’s red shirts controversy — was impressed.

“Moira was perceived as someone who’s a massive transphobe,” Finnigan tells the Source.

Referring to Deeming’s eventual expulsion from the Liberal Party after the Let Women Speak rally in March, Finnigan says: “I don’t think Moira Deeming is a bigot or a Nazi.”

Finnigan met with Deeming, and Liberals Joe McCracken, Bev McArthur and Renee Heath, as well as One Nation’s Rikki-Lee Tyrrell in the state parliament’s dining room.

“I think there is common ground to be found,” Finnigan says.

“We don’t have to shout at each other and be nasty for nastiness’ sake, and I commend them for sitting down with me, and for talking in good faith.

“You would have thought the leadership team of the Liberal Party, if they were so committed to supporting trans people, would have spoken to the only trans-elected official in the state.

“(But) I haven’t heard tickety boo.”

No Tosh, you remain a bloke.
Deeming continues to show Pessuto as a shallow clown who has insulted all women with his actions against her.

Some are either shy No voters, or will vote No because they are nervous about the ill-defined powers which will be granted to the Grifting Identifiers.

Might also be something to do with this:

Australia’s “misery index” is at near GFC levels.

The University of Melbourne survey has tracked the impact of inflation/cost of living, interest rates and unemployment on the national psyche since the 1960s.

The whining of already privileged indigenous activists would be especially grating when you’re already feeling miserable about your prospects.

They do everything possible to make life harder.

‘Ya’ll need to start leaving these kids alone’: Detransitioned Navy SEAL warns parents about gender surgery saying they are not being given all the data

I think many erstwhile doubters would have been swayed by the CCTV footage of Britnah faultlessly sashaying up and down in front of security coupled with audio of her telling Cane Toad she was “schoolies level, 11/10 hammered”.

Perhaps he was the sole holdout for a Guilty verdict?

I think Shane Dumkpof admitted as much.
The jury was 11-1 to acquit.
The holdout juror introduced the extraneous material to the jury room to deliberately sink the trial, for fear the judge might accept an 11-1 majority vote to acquit.

Speaking of which, Samantha Maiden in the Daily Telegraph:

Channel 10’s Lisa Wilkinson told Brittany Higgins in an off the record discussion that she knew “friendly” MPs who might drive the story forward, including Anthony Albanese and Tanya Plibersek.

In an extraordinary trove of CCTV and audio never seen or heard before by the public, the Seven network last night broadcast excerpts from The Project’s interviews.

The audio was handed over by Channel 10 under subpoena during the criminal trial, though much of the material aired was never played to the jury. Mr Lehrmann is suing Ms Wilkinson and Channel 10 for defamation in the Federal Court.

At the time the story first aired in 2021, Mr Albanese was not prime minister, but was the opposition leader. The Labor Party strongly pursued the allegations in parliament.

Channel 7’s television special featured audio from a five hour discussion conducted by Ms Wilkinson and her producer Angus Llewllyn with Ms Higgins and her partner David Sharaz in the lead-up to the sit down interview.

“Do you have friendly MPs? You know, that could fire questions at Question Time?’’ Mr Sharaz asks.

“Oh, certainly Albo,’’ Ms Wilkinson replies.

The Project host then adds that another option is the Labor frontbencher Tanya Plibersek.

“Tanya Plibersek, definitely,’’ she says.

Mr Sharaz then suggests they could get Australian of the Year Grace Tame to back the story in after it aired on Channel 10.

“You want friendly so they don’t saturate the air time,’’ he says.

When the story aired, Seven interviewer Liam Bartlett suggested, it was “by any measure, the worst day of Mr Lehrmann’s life”.

The former Liberal staffer said he first read the allegations when news.com.au published an interview with Ms Higgins.

“I, like everybody else who had read it, was horrified,’’ Mr Lehrmann said.

“I think there are text messages between me and friends saying I used to work with her, you know, horrified.

“I think there are text messages between me and friends saying I used to work with her, you know, horrified.

“It then became apparent at 2pm or thereabouts, when Rosie Lewis of The Australian emailed my boss at British American Tobacco and said that she’d heard from government sources that I was the alleged rapist, now I’m called in for a meeting with my bosses. They suspend me pending an internal review.”

Earlier, Channel 7 aired more tapes of the off the record discussion conducted by Ms Wilkinson before the sit down interview.

At one point, Mr Sharaz asks Ms Wilkinson what she wants to achieve.

“Whether it’s white privilege, male domination, whether it’s, you know, criminal activity. I am from the western suburbs of Sydney. I have always been motivated by exactly the same thing, people who deserve to be heard, not being heard,’’ Ms Wilkinson replies. (FMD)

Mr Lehrmann flatly denied raping Brittany Higgins in his TV interview, declaring it “simply didn’t happen”.

On Sunday night, The Australian newspaper published further extracts from the recording which it said included Ms Wilkinson suggesting Mr Albanese was “a bit of a dead duck at the moment”.

“Well, he’s in a car crash, leave him alone,” Mr Sharaz responded. “He got a lot of coverage out of that.”

Earlier, Ms Wilkinson tells Ms Higgins she does not want “to put words in your mouth” but does want her to discuss the culture of Parliament House.

“I have every confidence that you will answer that very eloquently, but it’s one you just need to really think about,” Ms Wilkinson says.

“I don’t want to put words in your mouth, but if you can enunciate the fact that this place is all about suppression of people’s natural sense of justice.”

Ms Higgins says in the February, 2021 recording that she was worried about the prospects of conviction. (mmmyes that might happen if you make shit up)

“If he wants to go after me, like on a civil basis, I think, on the balance of probabilities, I think I could win. I think it’s, if the onus of proof is beyond a reasonable doubt, I think that would be different. I don’t think I could win that,” Ms Higgins says.

In an extract of the recording that was played at the trial, Mr Sharaz says that if the story breaks in a parliamentary sitting week “they have to answer questions at question time, it’s a mess for them”.

“I’ve got a friend in Labor, Katie Gallagher on the Labor side, who will probe and continue it going,’’ Mr Sharaz said.

In the recording Ms Wilkinson also criticises former deputy Liberal leader Julie Bishop.

“The biggest frustration that I have with Julie is that she had so many opportunities to speak out against the culture,” Wilkinson says. “And for one woman too, what was she, deputy to 13 different prime ministers over the course of her time in parliament?”

Mr Sharaz then interjects: “Always loyal too. Bridesmaid, never the bride.”

“The minute she was out of there (she said) ‘Oh it’s really sexist.’ I tried to get her on the record with that so many times when she could’ve actually affected change, and she wouldn’t,’’ Ms Wilkinson replies.

Conversation then turns to whether Ms Bishop might speak out or would back Michaelia Cash and Linda Reynolds.

“They’re all Perth girls,” Ms Wilkinson says. However, Ms Higgins says “they were never friends”.

“I don’t know why, but they never liked each other,” Ms Higgins says in the recording.

Mr Sharaz then adds: “Julie doesn’t have any friends.”

Do you think now that Wilkinson and Fitzsimmons pace the corridors of their plush abode and say “you know what, I think we might have just stuffed this up”?

Pride is a sin, but only if you are White.

What’s that saying about pride going before a fall?

“Nobody tells me what to ask in question time,” [Plibersek] said.

Sure…she doesn’t attend the daily strategy meetings and employs no advisers.

She’s a singularly gifted and independent parliamentarian.

Apart from that, what more needs to be said?

All women must be believed.

At least its not the Germans stealing their bikes this time.

It’s a joke in the Netherlands that any German tourists are asked “Can we have our grandfathers bike back?”

A wreath, laid by a German ex – serviceman’s group, on the memorial to the battle of Arnhem, was removed, and thrown into the Rhine.

Newspoll: Less than half Aussies intend to vote ‘yes’ on voice

You will hear the bleating from the moon.

Brittany Higgins mother Kelly testified at the trial.

Reviewing the footage at pub and PH – she’s a bit handsy with him. Too handsy for a professional meeting, regardless of the setting. And he appears to be her “type”. Also, if she’s 11/10 schoolies inebriated, I’m a potplant. On the other hand, he doesn’t appear interested at all. Either one cool customer or it’s just as he says.

Calli, it occurred to me that she may have accused him of rape because he was not interested and dented her ego.

Plibbers is the only one who emerges as credible and with any dignity.

I’m not buying it, Bear.

But of course, the ego demands it, never mind the principles. I can see how she may explain it to herself, this is the system as it exists at the moment and according to it I deserve the honour for a great job.

Erm…as I was saying.

Which makes Morrison’s parliamentary apology to Brinny – followed by his second apology for his first apology – the work of a paper target.

ScoMo was completely without principles and he acted according to realpolitik at every moment. Whatever he thought would work at any given moment was the go without consideration for incongruities. Eventually he disappointed everyone.
