I’m going back to the days when the Australian Defence Forces were comprised of a gang of mildly alcoholic,
I understand in recent years when Chynah sent its ship down around Aus with its listening sensors to our exercises and defence systems our military sent a chopper out with a pallet of beer…which was then set on the deck of the Chynah ship. Message being ‘yes we know u r there, yes we also do the same to you, but since we r generally nice folk, have a beer on us’. Apparently this is what we have done and do from time to time.

In terms of misjudging the public mood, he and his missus are the Nicholae and Elena Ceausescu of Australian cricket.

A second wife who broke up her husband’s first marriage can be assured that the same will be done to her. She has trained her husband that there are no downsides for him to cheating.
We can rest assured Rabz that S K Warne sits comfortably in the top 5 cricketers the world has ever seen.
Judging by the disastrous ‘Bradman’ mini-series in which Gray Sweet played the Don, this will be another cringy trainwreck thought up by a ponytail who’s never picked up a bat and whose market research consists of reading New Idea in the ‘breakout room’.
I’m citing you the example of a certain Perth “colorful business identity” who abandoned his marriage,
to marry his secretary.
The lady realized that the marriage was in trouble, when she received the same phone calls about how he was delayed at the office, and working late, that she used to make to the first wife……
Those in certain circles will advise that Warner is hated by his teammates even more than the public.
Look at the over-representation of Gray-Nicolls bats used by the current lot. Gray-Nick pulled Warner’s sponsorship after Sandpapergate – and as a consequence (apparently) quite a few of the players dropped their own brands and went looking for Gray-Nicolls. Just as a quiet ‘f*ck you, Dave’.

We flopped in front of James Morrow’s show on replay tonight, Cassie, and also found her comments outlined above insightful. Hairy adds that De Santis can’t really oppose the Republican swamp because he is bound to them for future funding of his Presidential run.
As Hairy is a no-one but Trump supporter, he sees that as making De Santis a poor Presidential choice. I don’t, because I think De Santis can re-run Trump’s 2016-20 policy platform to a large extent and most likely would. It’s the way to electoral success anyway. I was greatly impressed with Trump’s New Jersey speech after his recent Court appearance, he is so on top of it all and explains it all very clearly. Obviously he could still be electable. So as ever, I’m torn, because of the uncertainty re Biden. I doubt Biden will run, and in that case the Dems will have someone younger than Trump, and that will matter a lot.
No Trans, the only thing to get straight in your head is to explain how your laughable set of equations prove that Toyota either has it wrong or lying. That’s all you need to show us. There’s not need for any other explanation, such as the bullshit goal post move attempted in your last comment.

Read with interest the discussion about raw garlic last night.
While I don’t believe for a moment that it cures cancer or anything else so dramatic, I can attest that it worked for me in clearing up a nasty outbreak of large facial acne-type cysts when I was in my 20s. It happened out of the blue when I was on a ship travelling between Sydney and Acapulco.
I wangled some garlic cloves from a friendly Italian kitchen worker, and swallowed one raw (cut in half, washed down with lots of water) morning and night. After three or four days, the cysts were gonski. It was like magic.
I presume that they were caused by some sort of infection, and it seems likely that the anti bacterial properties often claimed for raw garlic kicked in to great effect on this occasion.
I’d previously had the odd single cyst on my face, and they typically had a life cycle of a couple of weeks, so this was a very impressive result.

The highlight – I’d made friends with one of the flight attendants (I was doing some stitching), and during the trip she beckoned me up to the rear door. I got to look out over the North Pole! We were seated over the wing, so no chance of a look.
Many glaciers and glacial valleys and much snow cover. And the other wonder – we were in daylight for the entire trip.

Biden – Admits He is a Puppet
Jo(ke) Biden – “We have plans to build a railway line all the way across the Pacific Ocean to the Indian Ocean………………….”. What Fruit Loop.
COMMENT: You are just anti-Democrat and always against Biden.
WU
REPLY: Sorry, you are so biased you cannot look objectively at anything. When Biden utters the phrase “I’m deviating from the script, and I going to get in trouble” don’t you understand that someone is scolding him if he speaks his own mind? I’m sorry. That is irrefutable evidence that he is nothing more than a puppet.
You obviously do not care who is really calling the shots. So far, these people behind the curtain using Biden have destroyed the world economy by corrupting SWIFT, the sanctions on Russia have only divided the world economy ending globalism. Then they have the audacity to threaten China that if they supply arms to Russia there will be sanctions against them. All of this is when the US is supplying arms to Ukraine. They have transformed the USA from the policeman of the world to the arrogant world dictator.
There was the One China policy and the Biden administration has abandoned decades of peace ensuring now that China has no choice but to invade Taiwan or appear subservient to the United States. Then these people have NATO expanding opening in Japan to spread their version of world peace by bombing the hell out anyone they dislike exercising their dictatorial power. NATO is now the greatest threat to Europe. The only country that sees this is France. NATO will destroy all of Europe.
So feel free to vote for Biden if you are over 70 and have no family members then you will not be drafted which may go up to 65 years old this time and include girls. Otherwise, a vote for Biden will be a vote to send your children or grandchildren to die on some foreign battlefield all for the glory of the NEOCONS. The United States is in the midst of a coup. The NEOCONS are in full control – their dream has come true. A vote for Biden is a vote for the NEOCONS. Vote for RFK, Jr. but not Biden if you care about your country. Biden is the patsy. He is not making these decisions.
You have no idea how this works. For nearly 50 years, FBI director J. Edgar Hoover (1895-1972) amassed secret files on America’s most prominent figures. He then used those files to blackmail and smear presidents and politicians. You did what he ORDERED or he would use the dirt on you to end your career or imprison you as they are doing to Trump right now. The NEOCONS have done that to Biden and his family. He does what he is told – OR ELSE!”

It is the responsibility of everyone who witnesses bad behaviour to do something about it. Whether it is the Catholic church, the Special Air Service regiment, or the Liberal party of Australia. Trotting out the victims to excuse the perpetrators and then saying “good, let’s move on” is not acceptable.
Does the same apply to the Labor Party?
The Facebook group allegations, Plibbers and the ABC woman talking around the last election, Teats Peanuthead? And probably many more.
Cusack herself is a lieboral is she not? this shows exactly what is wrong with the party.
Good to Penberthy gets it. Exactly what I’ve been thinking. They think it’s a joke and a game.
I only use my phone for the Cat. Refreshing results in, sometimes continuing from the same comment, missing great swathes of comments to taking me to the very end of the last page. Gaps in the flow of opinion can be annoying at times when I realise I’ve missed significant debate in the trucks and train mass debate. My phone plays up with other sites so I think its not always aCat problem.
This is to show the world that Murdoch kiddies are in charge for Hannity to bend the knee.
My phone behaves a lot like yours so I only read The Cat on it when I’m out somewhere and there is nothing else to do. At home I use the iPad which is fine. It does make me wonder what else is my phone screwing up so I don’t use it for much else except in emergencies.

The standards that are applied to the Liberals and Nationals are never applied to Labor and the Greens. Example – Bill Shorten.
Remember that infamous picture of the woman who is now Penbethy’s wife, what was her name? I forget. In parliament, back in 2011 or whatever, she was pictured in parliament sexily walking past various male Labor slugs, including Billy Boy Shorten. They were all sitting there with their tongues hanging out, like a group of horny fifteen year old school boys with their little dicks hanging out masturbating to pornhub. Very sleazy and very inappropriate. Imagine if that had been a Liberal or National woman walking past a group of Liberal and National males with their tongues hanging out. The hypocrisy is rampant but the Liberals have brought this on themselves, they bought into the gaslighting bullshit that is the “Liberals have a women problem”….they lapped it up. You reap what you sow.
By the way, who is Catherine Cusack? Another unforgettable “Liberal in name only” lightweight. She can f*ck off.

Once another comment arrives, page 1 becomes https://newcatallaxy.blog/2023/06/17/open-thread-weekend-17-june-2023/comment-page-1/ and the second page becomes https://newcatallaxy.blog/2023/06/17/open-thread-weekend-17-june-2023/ presumably so that clicking on the sidebar takes you to the latest page.

It’s funny you mentioned that, Cassie. We were at Perth airport one time, waiting for the flight back to Melbourne after arriving from London. Shortened, along with his entourage, graced us with his presence in the Qantas lounge. I never noticed because I don’t think men have a sleazominator attached to their brain. Wifey noticed that Shortened couldn’t take his eyes off a young mother carrying a kid around for the entire wait. As she says, his eyes were glued to her.
Woo hoo, I have join the Calli’s prestigious club of nullified commenters.
Nope, when he said Sydney was full he was right. Since then then they managed to stuff another million or 2 in. Then they wonder why rents are so high and generally unavailable, and they need to spaff a lazy 2 billion on social housing.
Would that have changed any since then for the part that applies to married sheilas? I reckon it hasn’t, but I’m just guessing.
At the time of Menzies, the voting age was 21 and that wouldn’t have been too far off the marriage age.
Who needs humidicribs, caesarians and spinal blocks? Just moved on AAP:
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women have been safely giving birth on country for more than 60,000 years.
And there’s a growing body of evidence that when cultural safety is embedded into care for expectant mums and new bubs they are healthier and much more likely to thrive.
The president of the Congress of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Nurses and Midwives Marni Tuala, a Bundjalung woman, says Birthing on Country is the optimal model of care for pregnant First Nations women.
“What that means – and I think there is some confusion around what is Birthing on Country – is being cared for throughout your pregnancy journey by a midwife who is known to you in ways that meet your cultural needs,” she says.
“Birthing on Country is the way forward for our women and our families, and having that led by Aboriginal communities and Aboriginal nurses and midwives is the best way to achieve that.”……

Hanson’s whinge is that the Coalition don’t take her seriously.
What’s your point? Women vote more for the ALP and Greens combined by a roughly similar margin. It’s not the Guardian, it was the Australian Institute.
For the Senate:
Liberal/National Coalition 5,148,028 34.24%
Labor 4,525,598 30.09 %
Greens 1,903,403 12.66 %
The real shit shocker is that 14% of Queenslanders reported they vote for the Greens, their actual vote was 12.39%, which was considerably less than reported and below the national average. So these exit polls will have a significant margin of error.
The polls are subject to bias, underreporting and self-selection bias errors.

Chloe Cole was an awkward child growing up, struggling to fit in when she began identifying as transgender. She started puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones (testosterone) at 13 years old. She had her breasts removed at age 15, and detransitioned at 16. Now 18, she advocates for the protection of vulnerable young people from the harms of transgender ideology in medicine.
CA should drop Warner to discourage this stuff. Then put out a statement and fly him home.
At the time of Menzies, the voting age was 21 and that wouldn’t have been too far off the marriage age.
That sounds like a credible reason, along with the explosion of Single Mothers.
I’d love to see Munty front Peta Credlin and tell her she writes nonsense.
She’s a from Wycheproof – there’d be bits of Monty spread out over a broad area.

Monty excuses the Hair Sniffer in Chief. Class all over eh?
The fat fascist fool will never, ever, criticise anyone on his political side. When confronted by the reality of their behavior, as today, the best that he can come up with is “Whatabout ….” The weakest possible response, but he is too stupid to do better.
Hey, FFFool, whatabout Milton Orkopoulos or Keith Wright, or Bill D’Arcy, to mention just a few Labor sleazes.

Guardian Australia claims exit Polling showed only 30% of Women voted Liberal at the May 21 Election.
LOL. The Grauniad, about as reliable as Grandpa Cletus!
Pretending professional sport isn’t first (and always) about the money doesn’t serve anybody’s interests. Ask Rory McIlroy.
I’m curious, who gets to choose the birthing tree? Is it the expectant mother or the midwife?
Bill Collins would have made a terrible Uber driver.
From what I understand sportsmen used to be paid a token amount even as recently as 40 years ago. It is the professionalisation of sport that is all about money.
I meant to add that about 40 years ago Rugby League players used to have real jobs and playing on the weekends was a hobby. Wasn’t one famous player in Sydney a doctor and another a garbo?
Mr Kate Ellis complaining about the politico-j’ism class. Find a self stuffing barrel mate.
Apparently, the April ’22 peace plan was abandoned by UKR on the promise of the US/NATO of HiMARS and similar weapons and access to their intelligence and surveillance apparatus.
Great thread.
Crossie – modern sport is just soap opera with a ball. I don’t really have a problem with that but recognise it is just entertainment.
Still blows my mind that SBU killed one of their own negotiators back in March ’22 and it’s crickets in the West.
I enjoy golf but at a professional level that is largely losing the battle with equipment manufacturers chasing sales and the US PGA generally behaving like any monopolist. The addition of Saudi money is unlikely to help.
As to Fatmuricans eating 80+ grams a day of omega-six fatty acids, that would require eating at least five large McDonalds french fries a day, every day of your life, for every single living Fatmurican.
This is simply not possible.
That rodent model discussed last night was absurd. Extrapolated to humans, 19% of calories, in an isocaloric experiment, to be almost exclusively omega 6 fatty acid fats, resulting in a 50 lb weight gain from 195 lb in 7.5 months, okay, where would you be in six years’ time? Would a man initially weighing 195 lbs in six years’ time weigh 675 lbs, purely because of omega 6 fatty acids?
There was a reason old mate didn’t discuss biochemistry because his idea is bunk. He has some good reasons to moderate omega 6 consumption and ensure ADEK vitamin consumption, but blaming ALL weight gain, cancer and metabolic syndrome on omega 6 fatty acids is absurd.
Like I said if you eat milk, butter, meat/fish otherwise, there’s no worry about using a little sunflower or canola oil when you cook your steak, salmon fillet or stir-fried vegetables. Eating 100 g a day of soybean oil in processed foods full of added sugar, starch, fructose and salt in a massively over-calorie, low-micronutrient, low protein, low omega 3 FA diet certainly would be a problem.
By the way, who is Catherine Cusack?
someone in the exclusive club I used to hand out HTVs for. Why did I bother?
There is something wrong with things when it is enough for a woman to publicly make claims of being harassed or molested without any further obligation on their part for at least some sort of corroboration even in the form of a police report or complaint to their employers HR, or similar.
No other accusation is levelled so lightly. If some politician claimed they had been threatened or attacked by an opponent we would want a bit more than their word.
But there is a blindness of sorts when it comes to ladies, and an instant halo of guilt surrounds the accused, where a sexual hue is layered on.
It does not matter how preposterous Thorpe’s history is, how often we laugh at her transports of self-righteousness, we must suddenly accept her claims when she prefaces them with the word ‘sex’.
But over the past few decades of movies and TV shows have instilled the assumption that women are are first victimised in the first instance but then repeatedly in the press, in the courts, and all those imagined bastions of masculinity (clubs, board rooms, locker rooms etc.)
No one wants to be one of those guys. No man wants to be seen doubting the word of a woman because that means he approves of the abuse of women.
Far from men automatically flying to the defence of other men, what we see is how readily they fly to the defence of women and willingly injure other men.
Agree Bear, the Melb CBD is very unpleasant now and I avoid it- lucky I live in an ex urb. Rural and regional Vicco, like rural and regional NSW is still very lovely but the political class and their pubic masters in Canbra are doing their best to wreck it.
Did Catherine Cusack blow the whistle on Barnaby Joyce?
I think she may have, but nothing happened?
Not to mention loathsome state pollimuppetts.
Daily Telegraph with Cydonee Mardon reporting:
What a horrible shitshow. So a confession to the abduction was not allowed because of ‘unfairness’ and ‘vulnerability’ because of the accused age at the time. Tell me, is it fair that this girl met her maker and her family go through 53 years of heartache? End of the road says Speakman. Just awful.
It’s almost as if Barnaby is a Labor plant, he gets away with everything.
Turnbull lowered the boom on him, then Turnbull himself was done over a few months later.
Looks like Groogs found his notes from mUnty’s Whataboutism 101 course.
It was mentioned that James Ashby might be Pauline Hanson’s chosen succesor.
I don’t think think he would have much support. Malcolm Roberts is a very hard working Senator who is good in Senate estimates but would One Nation survive without Pauline Hanson?
A few on Twitter were suggesting ON, LDP and UAP combine. Unfortunately I think ego gets in the way regarding who might be leader.
I have been suggesting that since Mathias Cormann and Malcolm Turnbull changed the Senate voting laws.

it would be good if people put egos aside and thought of the country-combining is def the way to go imo. At least stop stealing each other’s lunch.

My mother was fond of a story where she was in the local bakery with my sister who was probably 14 or 15. My sister excitedly pointed to another customer to say that he was her favourite player in the local team (Sutherland-Cronulla Sharks).
My mother encouraged her to go say hello. After a few moments of polite chatter he raced out to his tradesman’s ute and came back in with a publicity photograph which he autographed on the spot.
My sister was stoked.
After being rogered by Peter Slipper and a few years with Pauline Hanson, James Ashby would make a suitable addition to Parliament House. A seamless transition really.
Reports are that UKR losses overnight near Orekhovo have been terrible. The worst of the war so far. It’s D+12 and their figuratively still fighting on the beaches.

Afraid not good sir. I did have to have a look 3 times to make sure of it.
“I meant to add that about 40 years ago Rugby League players used to have real jobs and playing on the weekends was a hobby.”
Indeed, two were teachers on the northern beaches, one of those teachers is now in prison.
An observation on the manipulative use of language.
Browsing the Week in Pictures, I happened upon mention of the name Duane Owens, who was apparently executed recently in the U.S.
Unadvisedly, I searched for his name online, then decided not subject myself to any further details.
What I did note, by only browsing the first few sentences of each search result, was a lack of adjectives describing this vermin’s crimes.*
While conservatives are routinely described as radical, extremist, controversial, etc., there seemed a remarkable neutrality in referring to a [I’m not going to refer to him as a man], who stabbed (18 times) a 14 year old and raped her corpse, and bludgeoned to death with a hammer another woman.
His crimes were simply labelled ‘killings’ or plain ‘murder’ (nothing to see here, move along), and some reports emphasized the length of time he had spent on death row, intimating he was the real victim.
The ACLU [according to the comment in WiP] lamented Owens’ apparent torture by the state, and referred to him as a her.
The predators no longer hide in the shadows. They now stand naked and unafraid on our screens – pixels of malevolence – taunting us.
*Maybe I missed the outrage by not delving further. Maybe he always declared his innocence, I don’t know. I chose not to subject my fragile mental state to such trauma.
“One Nation survive without Pauline Hanson”
There is a natural leader of One Nation here in NSW.
feminism was always only a slightly more sophisticated version of the game “lets you and him fight”

This all began with Harvey Weinstein & METOO .. as wimmenz came out of the woodwork with, 100 years old, he-did-this/that accusations and the media luvved it as their readers slurped it up and squealed for more .. then we entered the BAT FLU era and proof became soooo 2019-ish as it was replaced by her word-is-proof-enuf …… hang him!.. hang ‘im high! …..
Ashby gave Slippery a knockback, then made a Claim against the Commonwealth for damages.
It destroyed Slippery’s marriage and he had a breakdown.
Now, obviously standards arte pretty lax in PH, but Asby should be a bridge too far.

It’s not just ego but the standard parliamentary greed .. the leader getz more than the tribe .. name any Oz politician that would willingly sacrifice money against service to country ……..!
I don’t like Chris Kenny’s views on the Voice but he’s good on almost everything else and his piece in yesterday’s Oz nailed the MSM’s double standards, particularly over the Shorten rape allegation.
There’s a big problem in the West, and that’s the complete capture of the media, making 90% of the media partisan, always spruiking for the left and always covering up for the left, be it over sexual scandals, Covid, integrity and so on. I can guarantee you that if that Bitch Gallagher was a Liberal, she would have already resigned, thanks to the MSM furore.
It’s why I shed no tears for Andrew Pwobyn, who has himself directly contributed to this partisanship.
Muddy – Yep. The torture in this case was not giving him tens of thousands of dollars worth of free elective plastic surgery.
The ACLU Is Mad at Florida for What They Did Not Provide to Death Row Prisoner (17 Jun)
Enormous suffering eh? Maybe the ACLU could consider the suffering of his victims.
a democratic body for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
just for starters, what does the Torres Strait have to do with Victoria?
And what bothers me about the stupid Liberals is that even now, if given evidence a Labor figure had allegedly raped someone, the Liberals would still refuse to make political capital out of it, because they still foolishly believe in Queensberry Rules.
As an aside, we have no idea why Sleazy’s long marriage to Carmel failed. I don’t really want to know, his marriage failure is the least problematic of his many faults, but imagine if this was Dutton or Morrison? The plain truth is that the MSM and the left have tried to dig up much schmutz on Dutton, and failed. The double standards here are horrendous. In fact, I’m old enough to remember Channel Nine’s nasty interview with Hewson’s first wife back in 1993. However, they’ve never been particularly interested in Keating’s private life, and I can assure everyone here, his private life would make interesting and salacious reading.
I remember reading about Trump in early 2016. I wasn’t really a Trump fan until late that year. Trump said that one of the reasons he chose to run is that, apart from the fact that he could clearly see that the eight years of the Magic Negro had almost destroyed America and America’s prestige, he also said how he was fed up with the way GOP candidates, such as the Mormon Romney and McCain were always bashed, ridiculed, smeared and lied about by the progressive MSM media, and they just sit there like dummies and say and do nothing in return. So, Trump said that he’ll throw it back and throw it back he did. The days of gentlemanly politics are dead. The sexual scandals and shenanigans that go on in the Liberals and Nationals, be it bottom pinching or whatever, are NOTHING compared to what goes on in Labor and the Greens.
Bill Hayden let the cat out of the bag iirc Cassie.

It is only fear of MAD that keeps most members of Canberra’s politico-jis’m community quiet. Amazing how often something turns out to be an “open secret”.

Crossie at 9:47.
Up until at least the 1930’s (possibly later) English cricket was divided into professionals and amateurs.
The professionals were working class or middle class lads who couldn’t afford to not have a job. The amateurs were typically chinless wonders from Public Schools who wouldn’t dream of taking money to play their beloved sport.
They even had separate dressing rooms.
Here’s the catch.
Better known amateurs didn’t draw match fees but made shitloads from product endorsements.
It is rumoured some of the better amateurs took under-the-table payments as well.
My high school maths teacher, John Maguire, played second row in one of the early Sharks teams. Two classmates, Greg Mullane and Rick Bourke, played in subsequent teams when they were at uni. They were very community based in those days.
Professionalisation has destroyed those connections pretty much for good.
Sorta like Carlton footballers you mean? *cough Visy*

A spiritual refugee of the 60s
The Catholic Weekly By Guest Contributor – June 17, 2023
Bob Cameron’s awakening from what he calls his “long spiritual coma” will speak to many souls in our era, so pervaded by spiritual confusion, emptiness, dissatisfaction, and loss.
About the Author
Bob Cameron was born in 1947 into a British Catholic family and raised in the faith’s education system. Aged 18, he angrily rejected the Church. Working as a journalist, Bob then began a 42-year media career. After covering the Northern Irish Troubles, he migrated to Australia in 1971 where he rose to become a senior executive in Kerry Packer’s media empire. In his fifties, Bob finally awoke from his ‘long spiritual coma’ and embarked on the challenging but ultimately healing journey of returning to the Church.
