Yup, I was coming to that in a later comment. I don’t have any personal experience of Calvary, but it could hardly be worse.
Thanks, all, for kind wishes. I’m fine now that I am out of there, there is no worse place to get well than in a hospital like that one. 🙂
I’m quite happy to say that the Aztecs were wrong. I’m not sure why they or anyone else erring, morally speaking, present a conundrum.

Speed recovery Johanna. Shocked that canbra hospital is so bad. The Western at Footscray has a bad reputation but my experience of it has always been pretty good.
Johanna sorry to hear about your broken arm hope it mends well and you recover without incident.
Sounds like Canbrrraaa Hospital is the best place not to be. It was 1991 I recall at a major teaching hospital in Sydney the filthy bathroom in which my my mother was expected to use after open heart surgery, matted hair in the drain hole and greasy smelly built up grime everywhere.
I complained returned an hour later with bleach and a scrubbing brush to clean the filth. I could hardly wait for her to be out of there and as inevitable she ended up with a severe infection – amazing who’d a thunk it.
Speedy recovery Johanna.

Apropos of the missing limb discussion from overnight (the NT News):

Is the collapse of America inevitable? Andrea Widburg at American Thinker.
The replacement of competency with diversity won’t work, and is already creating huge problems. The complex and interwoven systems that support our high standard of living were created by the meritocracy, but have been degraded over some decades to the point where collapse and disarray is closer than ever. The current administration is notable for appointing departmental heads who are either incompetent or destructive.
Read it all, based on an article by Harold Robertson.
“Newspoll: Less than half Aussies intend to vote ‘yes’ on voice
I have to say, after a week of bleak news, particularly with the BRS judgment, it was sweet, very sweet, reading this last night. This shows that Sleazy, and his arrogance around da “Voice”, is backfiring bigtime. Sleazy has swallowed, hook, line and sinker, the polls of the last year, he imagines himself as king of Australia, a narcissist, hence his refusal to even change the wording of the Voice. Let me tell you how comforting this is, because walking through Sydney’s CBD yesterday, there are “YES” adverts everywhere. I think Australians are heartily sick and tired of the propaganda and that will only grow in the coming months. Australians aren’t being told to engage in, discuss, and debate the Voice, we’re being told by Sleazy and his ugly comrades to vote for it or else we’ll call you a racist. Okay then, I’ll be a racist, because you think I’m a racist anyway.
I emptied my mailbox the other day and there was a pamphlet from Svengali Simon’s Big Spender advertising her forthcoming Wentworth Town Hall on the Voice. She’s already spruiking it, as “Wentworth for the Voice”. I do hope those cretins in Wentworth who voted for her thinking she’s an “Independent Liberal” will think twice next time, however Sharma wouldn’t have been much better, being the soft mint Green he was on everything.
Canberra’s hospitals used to be first rate. Labor foisted self-government on the territory for blatant political reasons, and administration has drifted leftwards and down the competency slippery slope ever since.

Cassie, you should go along just to throw a spanner in the works.
Solidifying a NO vote in QLD, NSW and WA and then working to majority NO votes in each other State and territory would be the way to go.
If the YES vote is in a minority without an official or unnoticed NO campaign, JC might be right and we could get sub 40% YES votes.

Bean gets red-pilled.
Mr Bean star Rowan Atkinson confesses he feels ‘duped’ by the electric car trend (4 Jun)
Petrolhead Rowan Atkinson, who was an early adopter of the electric vehicle trend, has said that he now feels “duped” by it.
However, the Blackadder star’s issues aren’t with the vehicles themselves but rather the environmental impact of their production.
The 68-year-old car fanatic got an electric hybrid 18 years ago and his first all-electric car nine years later.
He wrote: “Electric vehicles may be a bit soulless, but they’re wonderful mechanisms: fast, quiet and, until recently, very cheap to run.
“But increasingly, I feel a little duped,” the Mr Bean actor added in a comment piece in The Guardian.
He continued: “When you start to drill into the facts, electric motoring doesn’t seem to be quite the environmental panacea it is claimed to be.
“The problem with the initiative is that it seems to be based on conclusions drawn from only one part of a car’s operating life: what comes out of the exhaust pipe.”
…
Aside from a love of cars, Rowan is actually fully qualified to offer his opinions on this. He studied electrical and electronic engineering at university before gaining a subsequent master’s in control systems.
Nothing that Cats haven’t known for yonks, like that you have to drive a Tesla for 8 years just to catch up with a similar ICE on net CO2e, by which time you need a new battery and are behind again. But it’s nice that a lefty has the courage to speak truth to power like this.

I have noticed how dirty “hospitals” are, having been in and out so much with dad over the past couple of years. You can tell how little floors are washed generally by the peeling, filthy “socialist distancing” tape. Brrrrrr.

My view is that people like him only “discover” what they knew all the time when it directly affects them.

Just on this BRS pile-on:
Yesterday I tried to refresh my memory on the very early attacks on BRS in the media (shortly after his VC award) by the woke brigade. I recall that a story in a women’s magazine about the difficulty that he and his wife initially had in having kids was lampooned by some female commentator in the media as BRS “firing blanks”. Couldn’t locate the story on Google.
Also recall a story that BRS was bullied at school. Couldn’t find the story on Google. It seems Google was instead consumed only with details of the allegations against him. The Woke are very good at rewriting history.
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.

Higgins left PH at 10.30 am in a cab, went home.
The plot looks like Lehrmann didn’t want Higgins around anymore so he pretended he’d been sacked and the COS tried to bluff Higgins out of her job.
Higgins wasn’t having that, so she called their bluff and they folded.
Basically, Lehrmann’s told a lotta lies and painted himself into a corner.

It’s bitterly dividing this community – the fellow travelers are going to great lengths to point out that the Act and the Voice are two entirely separate issues, the local farmers response is short, sharp and to the point.
Slugs in the kitchen?
Plibersek snaps at Higgins question
The horror!
I suspect that this is exactly what is playing out at the moment.
The younger cohort in the population is more likely to accept government exhortations about workshopped ‘preferred behaviours’ – given that this social engineering has been the MO of governments for the past 20 years. This is borne out in the poll results:
Unfortunately for Uncle Luigi, these same 18 to 49 year olds are currently being BBQed by unmanageable rent and living costs – and looking sadly at the shite economic prospects ahead of them.
Despite the “generous offer” to all Australians claimed for the Voice, the racially aligned squirrel grip that goes with it is coming into focus.
Great idea.
Like all good ideas, it needs to start with a pilot plan – rotated weekly outside the house of every councillor and politician who has backed the plan.
It’s time to hold this juror to account.
It might be incredible what their chat logs reveal – or whom they were talking to.
18 years old to 49 years old eh?
I wonder if that is a large voting bloc or not?
Enquiring minds would like to know who “government sources” were.
And, even if Lehrmann later resigned from BAT, he would have a case for constructive dismissal.
Since when is suspending someone based on rumour legal?
Imagine the grievance bound mindset…you wake up every day in your Sydney harbourside mansion, look out at the sunshine dancing on the emerald waters, and you think to your self…”I’m from the western suburbs; who can I take that out on today?”

Migrants Stage Pavement Protest Outside London Hotel Demanding Private Rooms, Better WiFi (4 Jun)
Better Wi-Fi, more financial assistance, and private rooms were just some of the demands made by migrants who demonstrated outside the doors of their new hotel accommodation in an upscale residential area of central London on Thursday.
The group of adult men, many of whom arrived in Britain illegally in small boats via the English Channel with a view to claiming asylum, used their suitcases to barricade the front doors to the Pimlico Comfort Inn and staged a pavement protest against what they consider to be offensive living standards afforded to them by the British government.
The group was recently transferred from a hotel in Ilford, Essex, but told reporters that their new accommodation was not to their taste and refused to return to their rooms until they are each provided with private accommodation.

That photo pretty much destroys everything that Mizzz Knickerless said about her state when she arrived at Parliament House, and her actions later.
She was clearly NOT paralytically drunk, she clearly was NOT about to collapse unconscious on the couch, she clearly WAS quite able to refuse any advances, and clearly WAS quite able to notice if her dress was being forcibly removed.
Apart from that, what more needs to be said?
How Lisa Wilkinson and Brittany Higgins war-gamed which ‘friendlies’ to fire up
JANET ALBRECHTSEN,
Luckily, prominent social worker Plibersek, “was in touch with Brittany Higgins because I was concerned about her welfare.” So, synchronicity.
And equally luckily, it was Mz Gallagher at the helm of the Payola Committee, although she had nothing to do with its deliberations – other than monstering Linda Reynolds away from participating*.
Nothing to see here…
* The dimmest of dim moves by the SFL’s not indemnifying Reynolds and allowing her to participate. Almost as if they wanted the implication of a truly massive workplace payout to hang over the Opposition.
All women must be believed.
At least its not the Germans stealing their bikes this time.
As I recall Ms Reynolds’ office had to be steam cleaned the next morning due to a technicolor yawn…
I am so naive I never knew until the BRS case that a life can be ruined and millions squandered simply because you can convince some people that something COULD have happened, not having to prove anything. That is abominable.
When I came back, you could see the stripes on the floor where she had washed – and the parts that she missed.
That would be the same water used to mop up the splatter from the impacted bowel, which then mopped the foyer before doing the hallway where some unidentified ooze from a suppurating pustule was seeded along by the wheelchair wheel in a lovely non specific colour stripe.
But its ok, they used the regulation cap full of bleach in the 1/2 bucket, and change it out 2 x per day.
Julie Bishop forgot the other side of the bargain, you had to be a friend to have friends.
Everyone promoting these mutilations whether in the academy, law, media, and politics, should be asked to justify their bromides with this image and others before the public square. Her TL is an incredible record of the butchery masquerading as ‘gender affirming care’.
“was in touch with Brittany Higgins because I was concerned about her welfare.”
Goodness, I’m touched by Ms Plibersek’s decency and compassion. However, did Ms Plibersek’s decency and compassion also extend to Bruce Lehmann out of concern for his welfare?
Clearly not.

Britney’s background has never been mentioned anywhere as far as I’ve seen. A late night program on RN last night focused on the disappearance of a couple in the Ballarat area a while back. The man’s body was discovered at the bottom of a disused mineshaft. The woman has never been located. The journo doing the story was somehow related to one of them and mentioned that the missing woman was Britney’s mother.
I do hope she was as kind to Kimberley Kitching.
Laura Jayes is not the sharpest tool in the box. If somebody didn’t feed her the lines into her earpiece or give them to her on a clipboard she would have a hard time interviewing anybody. But let’s not absolve her of being unfair either.
Brittany Higgins mother Kelly testified at the trial.
Brittany’s mother appeared at the show trial. She gave testimony about how the parliamentary position was her daughter’s dream job.
Dad was unavailable for comment, though I doubt he was down a mineshaft. 😀
Regarding morning toonage, Blower had me at first frowning-bunny.
Last night Bruce Lehrmann had to very very circumspect in giving his answers. I think he did well in spite of that limitation. He could show no real personality until just at the end, with a load of expletives of relief. The talkative and interactive young Turk he seemed to be previous to all of this was almost gone; he spoke with great hesitancy about his suicidal feelings. He was mostly extremely measured and cautious, but occasionally the sense of the well-brought up young man did shine through. His love for his mother won’t do him any harm with the viewing public.
To note in assessing it all. Someone saw him on a sofa ‘kissing’ Knickerless at the second venue. He says that is an incorrect memory from a couple of years later. Knickerless was in a happy mood doing a little skip down that Parliamentary corridor holding her shoes, definitely not paralytic drunk. Bruce was pretty much ignoring her ‘girly’ play there. Bruce claimed to have not said goodbye. If he’d judged she was in a ‘coming on’ mood that might explain his solitary exit back to his girlfriend. She could have pulled off that tight dress in order to feel better when she wanted to lie down and throw up.
She was not, as we know, big on underwear.
Calli, it occurred to me that she may have accused him of rape because he was not interested and dented her ego.
I don’t care what anyone says, she looks like a babe in that photo.
Don’t think there would be any appetite for that, regardless of what Sofronoff might find. I didn’t do any real jury stuff (take note Groogs) but I would think 3rd party materials in jury rooms would be close to unheard of. New Perf District Court has airport type scanning but could walk straight into the Supreme Court in my day.

She could have pulled off that tight dress in order to feel better when she wanted to lie down and throw up.

Or maybe she thought that just a teeeeny bit more “advertising” might win her the prize? And Lehrmann ran away in horror, back to the tender arms of his girlfriend?

She says she didn’t publicly share that she had uterus didelphys until she started her OnlyFans account in 2018 with the support of her spouse.
“OnlyFans has helped me to finally embrace my condition,” the blond enthused. “Creating content and having people complexly fascinated by my condition is really great.”
“I was always curious about sex work, and sometimes other men are involved, too,” Miller declared. “It doesn’t feel like cheating really. I’ve got one vagina for work and another for play.”
The content creator currently makes an incredible $1,480 a week via the subscription site, saying the raunchy venture has “massively paid off.”
“People are really curious,” she explained. “They love the fact that I’ve got two vaginas. It might sound bad to say it, but that can feel incredibly validating.”

To read the letters home of American Civil War soldiers – as I sometimes do – is to be struck by their generally refined sensibility as they convey complex emotions and respond to challenging military and political events. Literacy rates in America were about the highest in the world at the time but most enlisted men had never been to college but came from farms or occupations that involved manual labour.
Those men represent a snapshot of the human race in its Western incarnation six generations ago.

Well said!
That’s only because we have a mineshaft gap.
If Lehrmann admits to any conversation or face-to-face encounter after he turned left and she turned right then a can of worms opens up for him. So he stays stum. Correctly, given his situation now.
And it may have been exactly as he recounts. He took a back exit door to avoid meeting her in there, aware by now of how it would look. She had made up a work reason to also join him in the Minister’s suite, and he had gone along with it, telling security on the phone he was coming in accompanied by the Minister herself due to his lost pass. So a man and a woman were allowed through Security.
So, two people who are work colleagues, a man and a woman, the woman tipsy, the man less so, go at 1.30am from a venue and he has to pick up his house keys and some papers, swings by Parliament House in an Uber where she also decides she should go in for ‘work’ reasons. He gets them both through Security, she’s elated and on an adventure, he’s not, he’s forging ahead having second thoughts all along that corridor about the wisdom of this, so he cools it, writes up some paperwork from the night (the sort that needs to be done soonest), she’s off pretending to do something at her desk, and then he packs it in, leaves her to her own devices (she’s equal to him in work terms) exits unobtrusively by the back door towards home and his worried girlfriend.
Alternatively, they both have some whisky from the console which was some of the reason they were there, continuing the drinkies, she makes a play at him, he says he has to write up his info from the night before he forgets details (standard practice btw says Hairy), after a while she calls him in a legally consensual manner to pash on the sofa and he takes flight via the back door.
The me-too version: she’s a sweet innocent who goes with him to her Minister’s office, enticed by the adventure of it, and he’s an evil plotter who once she’s in the room rips off her dress and rapes her while she’s collapsed drunk. Having had his evil way, he skips off leaving her to face any music. She doesn’t know what to do and does nothing till kindly media lefties help her out.
I hope this does not affect the credibility of our much loved (yet still no Hammy) commentator.
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.

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.
Or maybe she thought that just a teeeeny bit more “advertising” might win her the prize? And Lehrmann ran away in horror, back to the tender arms of his girlfriend?
That is quite plausible.
This story has antecedents in Genesis 39. Joseph and Potiphar’s wife. Not to get all Titus on everyone but it describes Joseph as “handsome in form and appearance”. That certainly doesn’t describe Lehrmann or his twin Sharaz.
He may have spurned her ample charms and made a run for it. She stewed in her resentment and here we are.
This is the hardest part of the story we are invited to believe.
Having signed in through Security – and being on a warning – leaving a passed out, freshly porked, nude Higgins draped across the Ministers sofa would seem a tad reckless.
Even for a Canbra degenerate.
SloMo’s best work was over when he gave us Lara Bingle. It was always going to be downhill after that. And so it proved. No wonder it is taking time to find a new outlet for those talents.

“Which makes Morrison’s parliamentary apology to Brinny – followed by his second apology for his first apology – the work of a paper target.”
From the beginning it was so obvious, and so transparent that this saga was a manufactured political hit job aimed at bringing down Morrison and the Coalition. It was a miasma of pong. Remember how in 2020 Morrison’s polling numbers were high, and Labor was desperate. And like a scene from Macbeth, the witches began to stir the stinking caldron, it began with the Four Corners’ expose in November 202, and then in February 2021 the Higgins allegation hit the headlines, followed very shortly afterwards by the ludicrous, ridiculous, fantastic and fabulous Porter allegations. Smack bang in the middle of this was the pile on of Craig Kelly, where Morrison and his government outrageously sided with the left to sideline and silence him. Craig, quite rightly, walked. I remember watching the footage of Plibershit conveniently confronting Kelly in a parliamentary hallway, and she had numerous media there to film the confrontation. She called him a “nong”….and I recall thinking that none of this was accidental, she and Labor were up to something. And so the Higgins operetta begin, and Morrison fell for it, hook, line and sinker. I watched in utter dismay as he fell on his knees and grovelled before the howling and baying leftist mobs. It was sickening, but what was worse, infinitely worse, was that he didn’t have the backs of his own, a conga line of men and women he threw on to the pyre, Arndt, Kelly, Christensen, Tudge, Laming, Porter, Cash, and Reynolds.
Independent witnesses gave statements to the contrary.
Channel 7 have already pissed a fortune up against the wall over Ben Roberts-Smith, are they going for 2 in a row with Lehrmann?
Then there’s the 24/7 attacks on John Pesutto for not being a total bigot.
It doesn’t make any sense, unless …

Cassie,
every prospective conservative politician needs to be given a 6-week induction course in the Overton window.
Never apologise, never back down, never criticise allies (except for being too moderate), always combat criticism of yourself with attacks on your opponents.
Her oft touted appeal to female normies might not survive the question du jour.
Exactly Groogs, focus on the evidence. I have said previously Lehrmann may well have done it. That is a completely separate question of whether he should have ever stood trial for it.
Most Lieborals have always been more comfortable taking on their own.
… the plan is to keep the pot of Demoralisation simmering 24/7/365.
Have a think about it:
ADF not supporting our brave troops in Afghanistan
[which was true] but Ben Roberts-Smith wasn’t a hero either
Brittany Higgins being victimised by the Liberal Party [True] and let down by the Justice System [true] and getting a $3m. payout [Untrue]
John Pesutto an antiwoman Misogynist [untrue] who doesn’t see any need to persecute Transvestites [True]
Bruce Lehrmann as Labor Party victim [kinda True, but he brought it on himself by being an AssHat]
All these Moral Issues being constantly juggled in the Media without any commonsense Editorial ever being published anywhere
To wit: …
Name those witnesses champ.

Problem is that it doesn’t work the other way around.

I saw this article a while ago and meant to post it. How about an electric Fiat 500 (yeah, the little one) for $52,500. I near choked on my Weet-Bix. $52 grand !!! And 0-100 km/h in 9 seconds. Nine! Good grief.
https://www.whichcar.com.au/news/2023-fiat-500e-australian-pricing-confirmed
Mind you, there is a Mini electric version for ~$60,000.
Maybe I’m just out of touch these days but ~$60k for a small gutless car seems waaaay too high a price to me.
I hope he got council approval.

After 40 years’ burrowing, Mole Man of Hackney is ordered to stop
But this is no ordinary house. Since the early 1960s, the man who owns and lives inside the £1m Victorian property has been digging. No one knows how far the the network of burrows underneath 75-year-old William Lyttle’s house stretch. But according to the council, which used ultrasound scanners to ascertain the extent of the problem, almost half a century of nibbling dirt with a shovel and homemade pulley has hollowed out a web of tunnels and caverns, some 8m (26ft) deep, spreading up to 20m in every direction from his house.
An excellent opportunity to revisit this classic,

Seems like the young lady wasn’t particularly sozzled, that is, not until after she got stuck into the minister’s drinks cabinet.
Lehrmann’s ‘body language’ in the brief bits of video and various photos I’ve seen suggest ‘not the slightest bit interested’.
I’m now even more inclined to believe his version of events.
Some might say that’s a cynical play by Ch.10, given that PvO is probably worth more than they are atm.
Wow, what a witness!
“I THINK I REMEMBER”
*Do you accept that being sure of something and being certain of something is different?*
*You were drunk and have trouble remembering?*
*You are not completely certain of what you remember?*
*If you were drunk, don’t remember properly because of intoxication and are unsure what you remember, could you perhaps not remember what you saw on the couch in the bar somewhat or completely incorrectly?*
I can see why it was 11-1 to acquit and one rogue juror broke the law to sabotage a not-guilty verdict.
The pics of Brittany Higgins on 22/3/2019 show a vivacious young woman.
2 years later she’s put on a fair bit of weight and she’s severely depressed.
I wonder what happened [not really, it’s obvious what happened, unless you’ve got your head up your arse]?
The CCTV stuff that has been released shows him ignoring her and other young men giving her attention.
Groogs, stop thinking about all that lovely skin. Focus little buddy.
We should probably also see the bank account of this rogue juror as well as chat logs.
