Some footy news for Tickler.
Last night was Buddy Franklin’s 350th AFL game.
The sycophantic commentary was vomit-inducing.
The facts.
7 disposals.
3 free kicks given away.
Kicked two goals. One was a lucky juggled mark from a poor spoiling effort by St Kilda.
The other was a scrappy affair on the goal line which replays showed his foot over the line in the act of kicking (not a goal but nobody bothered with that rule because Buddy).
And he simply can’t be arsed doing any defensive chasing.
But can’t be put out to pasture because racism.
Top ‘o de page.
So did it use a laser (“directed energy weapon”) to start the fires “immediately” or did it actually take a few hours to fly 500 km or so?

Sociologist earns ten times more than frontline troops
Defence handed sociologist Dr Samantha Crompvoets and her company almost $6.5 million to investigate cultural issues but paid SAS soldiers just $169.77 each day they were in Afghanistan.
This bitch and the dogs who hired her should be dropped into Kabul.
Things might have changed in the couple of decades since I left Defence, but I suspect that the $169.77 per day is their Deployment Allowance, paid on top of normal salary and allowances, and the whole lot tax free for the period of deployment.
I have no doubt that Crumpets was grossly overpaid to prepare her hatchet work, but that is a different issue.
Is anything you say Ed actually accurate?
Samantha Crompvoets, an expert on organisational culture, was commissioned by the Department of Defence in 2015 to produce a report that led to military personnel disclosing claims of unlawful behaviour including alleged war crimes.
I had forgotten about her pivotal role in this saga. At the time I didn’t think it would end well. When you want to find a certain answer, you hire the most likely one to produce it.
Buddy is the AFL’s answer to Tiger Woods in Sydney. Nobody mention the Giants. At least when Edelsten was in charge nobody pretended in was about sport.

They undoubtedly did so, but given the harshness of the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk, that took Russia out of the war (“This treaty, that Russia, grinding its teeth, is forced to sign.” Lenin), they were not really in a position to complain in 1919. Later it became a different matter as the world economy imploded.

Dr F:
Numerous of her comments at the time were “encouraging” others to get jabbed. There was no qualifying statement that this course of action was best for those with weakened immune systems etc. Rather this was a universal “prodding” by her for others to get it done.
When I challenged her on her “messaging” and suggested that she leave others alone to make up their own minds, she admitted that she wanted out of the lock downs, and if vaxxing was the only way to get out of it, well, so be it. So, more self-regarding than other-regarding.
And from then on and up until the present, she has put up numerous links attempting always to show the vaxx narrative in a supportive light whenever anyone puts up something that is not as jab celebratory.
I have a zero!
Absolutely!

Here’s mine. The recent wage hikes are going to underwrite continued high inflation way over the RBA target. The most recent RBA rate hike seems to have psychologically hurt more than the others, and I suspect there is more to come as the RBA will be forced to offset wage inflation. The Squeal (Voice) is going to fall on its back.
Add in the perceived shenanigans over the Higgins bullshit, and we end up with a quite unpopular first-term government that could end up being its only term. The economy matters.

m0nty=fa hasn’t graced us with a summary of his recent posts on Feral Cat, and the lively discussion that has ensued. Could it be that there is not much actually going on there? Or does he operate a separate, secret, blog, open only to those who don’t care about culture wars?
I had a regular cardio checkup a couple of days ago. He’s an excellent doc and trained in NYC, which obviously makes him one of the best. 🙂 All good, but showed concern about the smoking issue. He’s such a good guy, as he’s not in the least judgemental but just presented the risks.
Anyway, he was telling me about his sister, who’s financially illiterate (he claimed). She had called him very concerned that, come July, her mortgage interest rate was moving from 2.5% to 6.5% and said that she was very distressed. He reminded her that there’s more bad news because her energy bill is going up by 30% come July, and she should make allowance for this.
If we’re not careful, the whole freaking place could tip over.
If you put it in dollars, a mortgage payment on an interest only loan for say $500,000 will more from $12,500 (2.5%), or a monthly payment of $1,041 to a monthly payment of $2,708. FMD that’s going to hurt people. Assuming a tax rate of 40%, someone will have to earn around $50,000 in gross income just to fill the gap for the extra interest charge.
Nice to see the foreigners doing their dough in Australia for a change. Wouldn’t want to have signed off on the business case for this acquisition.

Is there a risk the rising rates will eventually start to result in a series of liquidations and bankruptcies? I imagine that risk is much higher for SMEs than larger companies.

I have to say that the ad from ? which highlights the equal pay for equal work must have cut- through for many. Every nurse to be paid the same, regardless of experience etc etc – really?? The most difficult issue I faced as an employer was issues between staff over perceived inequalities – rostering, duties expected, newbies favoured?, experienced staff favoured?, etc etc.
since the Greens lost their star performer ‘Lydia’ its been all downhill. A sign of how desperate they are – seeing Bandt on Sky TV.
The wage hikes won’t impact underlying inflation as they will be swallowed by the current mortgage rates with 800k mortgages about to come off the covid lows.
I think you might have been reading the second hand commentary from the likes of the troubadour, rather than reading the original source.
P, while I agree with you in a general sense, at the height of the vaxx push the messaging swirling around in the community/media from govt was equally goading and threatening of those who were, for whatever reason, considering not conforming.
As background, when the new era of govt control through the utilisation of the medical expert community emerged, the Cat took on a dimension beyond what seemed its previous role of opinion exchange (with some bonhomie and regard for each other thrown in).
Probably for the first time at this (and the old blog), the subject of conversation was quite possibly going to have a personal effect on every single contributor and reader of the site: it went beyond just an academic exercise.
Yes, it was spectrum-type effect, as some were more vulnerable, or affected more than others, to the govt action. But I would argue that everyone was trying to determine the best course to take for themselves.
No doubt some people didn’t change their positions, but others did, as the Cat contributors filled in the lack of detail with links and discussions.
I changed my long held position because of some of the information that I came across on the site, which then led me to more discussions and more data elsewhere.
I have no qualms with anyone taking whatever path they chose – and for any course of action, not just this – because I don’t know them.
And even if I did, such a decision should be always the person’s themselves (with perhaps advice from the quarter they choose).
But what I objected to at the time, and still do, is that it seemed that the personal choice of some was deliberately being discounted by others to their needs.
Malcolm Roberts:
Listen to this if you’ve been affected by a wind, solar or power line project
The labor bunch are not very smart, hardly even qualify as midwits – none to my knowledge has proven themselves in the real world outside Labor factional games.
So the results are that they have introduced key policies which have marginal benefits at very best (Voice, IR, Energy), wasted the highest terms of trade ever and shown no signs of the Hawke touch in explaining and managing change for the average aussies.
Expect Elbow to be rolled amid factional fighting by end of year. Dutton ain’t great but “calm and measured” might look like genius by 2024.
I personally have no beef with solar, wind or how power is generated. My concern is that we simply must have internationally competitive power prices or we sink. It’s all very simple really.
Any predictions where this Higgins mess is going to end up?
Yeah.
About ten terms of Federal Labor Government.
Sure, Higgins got paid overs perhaps, but of some random had a daughter making her way in Canberra and she got screwed over by absolute scumbags, what would it be worth in $$ terms to make it all good.
Right or wrong, the nLiberal Government were going to stick with Bruce Lehrmann even if it cost them Government.
Without the Higgins scandal, Morrison was in there forever.
Now, Labor’s problem is that they’re all useless shitbags, so they’ve got to keep the Higgins thing going forever, because female voters are outraged over it.
Then there’s The Voice, the NO Case will be on life support if Peter Dutton goes.
Since Dutton was the Minister in charge of the AFP from the time Higgins was raped until Reynolds lost her job as Defence Minister after Higgins went public, and since Dutton was actually working with the AFP while he was in the Queensland Police Force, an Inquiry into the Higgins payout is a good place to broaden scope to ask Dutton what he knew and when he knew it.
Then call an Election to coincide with the Voice Referendum and reap the rewards.
Rosie:
I rest my case.
And yet see what you just said above.

Nancy Mace on Classified Docs Indictment: Biden Just Secured Trump’s Nomination in 2024
I still think there are reasonable odds that the deep state will take out Trump. Or maybe they’re so confident about controlling the corrupt election process and the MSM, and the sheeple continuing to be sheeple that they’ll be content to have him in a suit matching his orange hue.
I have a clear recollection of rosie posting lots of links supporting the covid orthodoxy. And derogatory comments on the sceptics. Both of which she was fully entitled to do; but which said something unflattering about her capacity for critical analysis.
Her travelogues were good. And I admire her courage in travelling alone. It’s natural for a man but rare for women to show courage, and I admire it.
Since Dutton was the Minister in charge of the AFP from the time Higgins was raped until Reynolds lost her job as Defence Minister after Higgins went public

I personally have no beef with solar, wind or how power is generated. My concern is that we simply must have internationally competitive power prices or we sink. It’s all very simple really.
Solar and wind is niche only and only a niche. Anyone advocating it on a grand scale is a f-wit. Anyone advocating nuclear power based on the climate change fraud is also a f-wit.
Figure it out.
Plenty of coal here in OZ to be exploited before we get our first nuke plant built.
For Melbourne Cats the lighter-than-helium Ding Dong Dunleavy got boned by 3AW during the week.
The published story talked about adjusted ratings post-Covid but I couldn’t see any real trend in the numbers. ABC ratings are tanking and maybe she wasn’t picking up enough of the fallout.
I did mention before that she seemed to have a bunch of woke issues on high rotation – wood fires, large 4WDs, extreme animal rights.
I suspect the call register was chockers full of complaints about that sort of stuff and might be a lead indicator of a ratings cliff.
Another thing which Mrs P just pointed out to me. Rita Panahi used to be a regular and seems to have disappeared. The discomfort of Ding Dong was palpable when Rita used to take woke callers and guests to the cleaners. If Ding Dong and/or her J-school producers gave Rita the flick, the complaints register would have been yuuuge.
Wilkinson didn’t say anything objectionable about Jacinta Price.
Of course she’s a Token Pick, of course it’s obvious to anyone with a brain.
Did it help the [Country] Liberal Party in the NT?
No, Price barely held the seat and the 2 HoR seats went from marginal Labor to safe Labor.
The psychology was stupid.
There’s 50 tribes in the NT, they’ve been at war for 2,000 years, Price belongs to one, perhaps half of that Tribe voted for her?
The CLP Senator that Price rolled also had Aboriginal blood, didn’t make a song and dance about it, and had done a pretty good job.
Price is an angry woman always looking for something to be angry about.
Well, that’s what the indictments are for. Nevertheless, it gives me just a tiny bit of hope that they aren’t confident their election stealing scams will work this time, so have to rely on jailing him. Interesting times.

How Elon Musk Beat the Mainstream Media | Konstantin Kisin
John Anderson
In this clip, John and Konstantin Kisin discuss Elon Musk’s recent interview with the BBC. Kisin expresses his disappointment with the interviewer, noting that not only did he ask questions in bad faith, but the interviewer also ran out of questions. Kisin contrasts this with his experience during Bill Maher’s interview with Elon Musk, where Maher approached the conversation with genuine curiosity and excitement. Overall, Kisin sees this as an indictment of the state of modern journalism, suggesting that today’s journalists are often more focused on virtue signaling to their peers rather than genuinely uncovering important and interesting information.
Well it looks like the initial Uke assaults of the great offensive have died in the arse. Let’s see what else they have up their sleeve.
The BCCI won’t be happy.
There is no other way that the BBC would approach it.
Bill Maher on the other hand still has a smidgen of integrity.

It is very satisfying to see the Warriors having it over the Canberra Raiders tonight ! Great game.

What, that’s she’s 50% Aborigine and 100% a token pick?
Wilkinson made a joke about the hypocrisy of the Liberal Party.
Yeah, Price shoulda known better, but how is she a victim?
Surprise, surprise.
Her boss doesn’t agree with Googlery QC.
My take is she was asked to apologise and refused.
The derogatory commentary was made under the auspices of Channel Ten and using Ten resources.
Paramount/Ten have an absolute right to tell her to wind her neck in.
I believe the comments and her refusal to apologise could well have contractual consequences.
One thing is for sure.
The Bandanas will be fuming that Ten has apologised on her behalf.

Grace Tame is so dumb she thinks she can victimise Higgins into a media career.
She blew it by giving Morrison the Evil Eye.
Higgins has been quiet, but she’d be laughing about Lisa Wilkinson coming a gutser and Sam Maiden getting run over by the Karma Kia.
Has Lehrmann sued her for Defamation yet?
As a bowler, I just love Scott Boland.
As an Abo, yeah nah, not so much. Stop worrying about Australia Day and concentrate on line and length and you will have a great career (and life).

You are a total pos. Had Dutton made this comment with the context that a person was below them, the way Wilkinson did, you would be all over it.
Quite clearly, I’ve never met a cleaner with the lack of intelligence or integrity that you possess Ed, you’d be well advised to stop embarrassing yourself and crawl into some lefty hole where they all agree with your disgusting world view.

Nice to see that you are quite happy to adopt the modern leftard concept of “Guilty until proven innocent”. That said, you are pushing some legal boundaries with that comment.
Quite possibly. Contract renewal lunch will be lucky to make it to mains.

Still, to the extent that he is now quite open about shilling for the Liars.
The failure to convict Lehrmann has broken, particularly since it now seems very clear that the numbers in the jury were for Not Guilty.
Shirley not. Lisa is quite attractive. If you like toads.
Likely to be over another plate of those spring rolls in the office.
Back in the ’80’s one of the networks (Nein?) signed Greg Evans on a yuuuge contract and then parked him for about four years.
To his credit, Greg didn’t say boo during his sabbatical.

We all realise that you are not the sharpest tool in the shed, but even you should be aware that references to a “black cleaner ” and to “It’s like, I’m not racist. I’ve got a black friend” are beyond the pale in this day and age.

Most of these ideas are what every country needs, which makes him the best candidate on policies.

And I know what was my intention when I made comments about this or that.
I have repeatedly stated I had no interest in proding anyone into getting vaccinated, particularly not here.
And yes I objected to people being told they had to remain unvaccinated even if they were in a vulnerable category because ‘my rights’.
Your subjective interpretations are just that. Subjective interpretations driven by your own prejudices.
And I continue to be the scapegoat because I’m one of the very few here who hasn’t spend two years bleating about the terrible horrible vaxx and because I continue to disbelieve the everyone who got the vaxx is now doomed narrative.
(Without for one minute disagreeing that it is a matter of fact that some people had severe and sometimes fatal adverse reactions within a short period after being vaccinated.)
Now go forecast some earthquakes.
John H. Great question.
Look, I suspect large businesses that issued bonds during the pandemic would be okay because maturity was for long duration for the most part.
If I recall, business loans for small firms never really fell to extreme levels, and I think interest rates for these sorts of loans never fell below 4% to 4.5%. There could be some distress here, as I’m sure business owners may have taken out mortgages on their homes.
There will be some issues here, but not as many as in the mortgage market. At least that’s my take.

A friend of our family, a fit 36yr old father of a 1yr old and 3yr old was ordered, by the company who employed him, to be vaccinated. After the first dose he immediately developed myocarditis.
He has spent a great deal of money on doctors and specialists. It is certain that his condition was caused by the vaccination.
Although now back at work his duties as an electrician are limited by his condition, and his employers who are caring and sympathetic unfortunately cannot change the present situation.

In a just world, his employer would be looking down the barrel of a massive law suit and the government who masterminded it all would be swinging from gallows. The employer should already be tripping over themselves to help him with all his expenses.
But that won’t happen and your friend will spend all his money trying to get back to health from a condition that the medical profession is twisting itself in knots to hide from and protecting the vax in their embarrassment.
I wish your friend all the best and a pox on his employer and the government

Thanks JC. I was unaware of the interest rate situation. My view is that it may be a long road downhill for many businesses so it may take some time for the effects to become apparent. When the recession hits there could be many SMEs hitting the wall.

After my 4 covid shot it was just two weeks later that I went down with severe dose of covid. This was followed by nearly a year of myocarditis. A CT scan and a stress test when I had just about recovered fortunately showed no major heart damage but I now live on blood pressure and ch0lesterol drugs to reduce risk. The mycocaditis was particularly unpleasant. Even minor exercise tightened the chest and felt like a heart attack was imminent. Energy levels were at rock bottom and even though I am over it I am not back to where I was.
