Indigenous already get a marks boost plus all sorts of programs for tertiary entry. Take it or leave it you ungrateful racist imbecile.
As for the birth outcomes, take it it with your proud midwifery colleague who thinks it’s just peachy for indigenous women to give birth “on country” in a culturally appropriate way. You might also want to look at pregnant idiots deliberately going on benders to produce smaller babies with a side serve of FAS. No whitey is forcing them to do it.

Absolutely understood.
Hard to imagine such a thing – but widespread on the Eastern Front in WW11 and also in use in the Ukraine.
I worry how our nation could fight against heavy odds with much of our leadership and citizenship as they are.
Some ( hopefully v unlikely) possibilities would be beyond the ken of most Australians-
not only blocking battalions but internment camps, very strict rationing, a construction corps, release of some prisoners for military service …
Events in the Ukraine should remind us all what full scale war involves .
I sure hope we have the leadership and national cohesiveness to keep our independence – not wildly optimistic.
Thanks Marcia, you’re a real gem.
Marcia should be the poster bloke for the NO vote.

I studied “Management 1A” as a general undergraduate subject in my econ degree, but this is actually very interesting. It is kind of funny that this is glossed over and the cynical workers and older students thought Taylorism was a joke and anti-worker. I don’t think this was brought up in detail. It was straight to how dehumanising time and motion studies were and how important HRM is. ????!!
——
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_management#Scientific_Management_Principles
a) Each worker should be given the highest grade of work they are capable of.
(b) Each worker should be demanded the work that a first-grade worker can do and thrive.
(c) When each worker works at the pace of a first-grade worker, they should be paid 30% to 100% beyond the average of their class.[7]
While Taylor stated that sharing “the equitable division of the profits” is required in an organization, he believed that management could unite high wages with a low labor cost by application of the following principles:
(a) A large daily task: Each worker in the organization, should have a clearly defined task.
(b) Standard Conditions: Each worker should be given standard conditions and appliances that will enable him to perform his tasks.
(c) High pay for success: Each worker should be rewarded when he accomplishes their task.
(d) Loss in case of failure: When a worker fails, he should know that he would share the loss.

It’s funny because Henry Ford gets all the credit in usual conversation because he actually applied the principles. Oh and for the engineer fetishists, Taylor was a mechanical engineer. He was also a very good self-taught economist in my opinion.
The worst places I have worked think that success is measured by screwing people over and watching them leave.
That sound you heard was Ed’s arse being handed to him. Well done
It might be a kind of threat. Perhaps they’re intending to replace the welcome ceremonies with something much less pleasant, possibly violent in nature. An intifada maybe.
Whoops. Should have bolded a 30% to 100% bump for “first-class workers” for job X.

I do not support Labor but am ashamed of the Liberal Party and what it has to offer under your leadership. Your treatment of Moira Deeming was appalling. Your inability to differentiate on the provision of energy. Your support of the Climate change dogma. You may as well be Labor. God help us Andrews is a lunatic spending bags of money, yet you don’t even go after him. I used to donate and volunteer my time to Libs and helped my local Federal member get in by foot slogging the area with brochures and volunteering at booths. I am dismayed, angry and hurt by your stupidity. Just resign and get out of the way.

I will use the local Aboriginal health service as an example. The doctors that are employed certainly aren’t Aboriginal, the podiatrist, the dentist etc. The specialists are the ones being paid by the health service to provide their expertise.

Putin’s Comments on Nuclear Weapons
I have listened to so many Western commentators who all downplay Putin at every stage in this insane game. Putin is well aware that this is NOT a war between Russia and Ukraine, this is a war between the USA and NATO using Ukraine and Europe as its cannon fodder. The United States has been seized by a Neocon Coup. Blinken is a horrible guy and his #1 is Victoria Nuland whose family is not just biased against Russia, they have Ukrainian roots and are carrying out a conflict of interests.
The Western Press is just horrible. Either they are absolutely STUPID, or they are deliberately always claiming Russia is losing and they are weak and we can therefore smack them down like an annoying fly. The problem with this scenario is that would be precisely the scenario when Russia would use the big nukes – not the small tactical nuclear weapons. If their country is to be terminated, then why not push all the buttons?
NOWHERE in the Western Press will they ever report on the truth about anything. The press is leading us into World War III and there does not seem to be anyone in mainstream media willing to honestly report on the Neocons. All we hear is PUTIN – PUTIN – PUTIN. Funny, they did the same with SADDAM – SADDAM – SADDAM, ASSAD – ASSAD – ASSAD, and of course, they did the same domestically – TRUMP – TRUMP – TRUMP.
They refuse to report that this war would be over in 24 hours if Ukraine honored the Minsk Agreement and simply let the Donbas have a democratic vote since they are ethnic Russians that the Ukrainians hate anyway. Zelensky loves to pretend he is fighting for their freedom and for democracy. That is an outright lie. Russia has not sought to conquer all of Ukraine. Merkel admitted that the West deliberately negotiated the Minsk Agreement only to buy time for Ukraine to build this army to wage war against Russia. Why should Russia or China now negotiate with the United States knowing they do not honor their agreements? The West wanted this war. They need it to justify defaulting on all sovereign debt and resort to digital currency with Bretton Woods II. Even CNN reported that the West started the Ukrainian Civil War before they were told to bury that news.
The Ukrainian people wanted peace and that is why they voted for a comedian because he was not a politician and he promised peace – not war. Then on February 23rd, 2022 to make sure Putin would invade, he publicly announced that Ukraine would pursue nuclear weapons. Putin’s Speech to the Russian people on February 24, 2022 points out the endless expansion of NATO and how the West abandoned the Minsk Agreement which was the “path of a peaceful conflict settlement.” He also mentions the quest to arm itself with nuclear weapons and says Russia will not let that happen.
The Western Press is so biased, they refuse to seek peace and in the process, all they are doing is cheering on World War III. Now when Putin is sending tactical nukes to Belarus which also gave up its nukes when it became independent like Ukraine, is in direct response to this thirst for war that NATO is pushing for. Putin now understands that the objective is the total destruction of Russia. They ignore these threats as if they are not nonsense, but he is speaking to the Neocons and NATO. His problem is, they did not want peace and they think they can capture Russia and there will never be a nuclear war. Nobody even entertains the question: What if we are wrong?”

I saw an upload on Odnoklassniki (Russian social media) a coupe of days ago where a ‘Squad’ of about 15 Ukrainian soldiers prematurely surrendered (ie. before they had engaged in any combat) to Russian soldiers. The Ukrainians claim they were sent as reinforcements to a particular Company but on arrival, found that most of the original Company members were dead or dying. Rather than meet the same fate, the Ukrainian soldiers immediately surrendered.
The video was taken by a Russian soldier and shows the Ukrainian soldiers being escorted back behind the Russian lines. One Russian soldier is asking why they surrendered and the language used by the Ukrainians to describe their leaders was extremely ‘colourful’. They claim their command had deliberately sent them into a hopeless situation and that their command leaders knew that death was a near certain outcome. Fighting was futile – the position was lost and their small squad would be obliterated like those before them.
Unfortunately for the Ukrainian soldiers, they will likely be part of a POW exchange in due course and their commentary on their leadership won’t be well received. The video is sure to be seen by Ukrainian authorities.
Of course, I can’t swear to the authenticity of the video but it ‘looks real’.

I’m also winning to bet those demanding boycotts assume that slave equals black which in the case of Colosseum and Pyramids is unlikely to have been more than a percentage (of black slaves).

Shannon Deery:
Parliament this week will debate a Bill to keep sadistic serial killer Paul Denyer behind bars for life.
Daniel Andrews has made it clear his government opposes the proposed law, and in doing so will side with a serial killer over the victims of his crimes.
Legislating against individuals can set dangerous precedents. But the government’s stubborn refusal to back the Denyer law smacks of hypocrisy.
Andrews was opposition leader when a law to keep Hoddle St killer Julian Knight jailed for life was passed in 2014.
He was premier when the government imposed identical restrictions on Russell St bomber Craig Minogue four years later.
These laws deemed both men ineligible for parole unless on their deathbeds or so infirm they were deemed harmless.
The Bill currently before parliament would make Denyer just the third Victorian to be subject to such restrictive conditions.
The depraved, sadistic and merciless nature of Denyer’s crimes should never be forgotten.
As sentencing judge Frank Vincent said, Denyer was “not one of us”.
He hated women and found the infliction of injury, suffering and death intensely gratifying and pleasurable.
Details of the “extraordinary savagery” behind the murders of Elizabeth Stevens, 18, Debbie Fream, 22, and Natalie Russell, 17, are as chilling today as they were in 1993. They were premeditated, calculated, horrific attacks.
“You obtain immense gratification from the humiliation, mutilation and killing of other human beings,” Justice Vincent said when sentencing.
“You do constitute such a danger, and at our present state of knowledge, apart from separating you from society there is nothing that can be done about it.
“Perhaps there will come a day when you will be able to walk among the ordinary people of our community. Whether you will ever do so must await the passage of years and the decision of the executive government of the time.”
Psychiatrists formed a view that Denyer obtained immense gratification from the humiliation, mutilation and killing of women.
Justice Vincent said: “For many, you are the fear that quickens their steps as they walk alone, or that causes a parent to look anxiously at a clock when a child is late.”
He sentenced Denyer to die behind bars, imposing three life sentences and refusing to set a parole period.
Denyer became just the second Victorian to have no parole period fixed since the abolition of the death penalty.
But Denyer successfully appealed this sentence, partly because of his youth at the time, and secured a 30-year non-parole period.
Now that he has served this time, Denyer wants out. He insists he has rehabilitated himself.
The Bill needs the support of at least seven crossbench MPs to pass the upper house and put pressure on the government to back it in the lower house.
It is unlikely to do so.
But failing to act definitively on Denyer should not be an option for the state government.
The Adult Parole Board states the purpose of parole is to promote public safety by supervising and supporting the transition of offenders from prison into the community.
The aim is to minimise their risk of reoffending (in frequency and seriousness) while on parole and after they finish their sentences.
Andrews says he has confidence in the parole board making the right decision. That approach could lead to Denyer being released one day, even if it comes with an inherent risk to the community.
There is currently no limit to how many times he can apply for parole, and each time he does, those close to his victims are retraumatised.
So are many members of the public, particularly in the Frankston and Seaford communities, still haunted by his crimes.
Governments riding roughshod over the courts take a slippery slope, and this should be tolerated in only the rarest cases.
Denyer’s is one of those.
The government has shown itself willing to legislate against individuals before.
If it won’t back this Bill, perhaps it will consider a broader approach.
In 2018 laws were passed in Western Australia allowing its government to prevent mass murderers and serial killers being considered for parole or resocialisation programs.
These reforms were to address the trauma and emotional toll of the family and friends of murder victims and others affected by these crimes.
WA elevated the interests of the community over that of offenders.
Perhaps it is an approach this government could adopt.
The WA parliament agreed to this law to apply to “the very worst mass murderers and serial killers serving life and indefinite terms”.
Denyer is one of our very worst. To use the judge’s phrase, he should remain “not one of us”.
OldOzzie has been quiet.
Yes Ed. I am a bit concerned about him as I have also not seen any of his posts on Jo Nova’s blog. His health has been very poor in recent years.
So Ozzie – if you are out there- please say hello!
Wretch – from what I have read (somewhere – don’t ask me where!) other western nations which fought in Afghanistan have also been holding witch-hunts to convict their soldiers (not sure if special forces) of war crimes. But our press don’t report that, do they?
Did anyone spend the time reading wikileaks back in 2010 when the Afghanistan papers were released ?
The US were murdering civilians on a daily basis.
How do we know?
The US military were the ones saying it.
I expect they would rather that than victim-adjacent.
And many of them came here to have, for want of a better expression, the ‘white’ life, as in their own palatial homes, nice cars, boats, holiday houses, overseas trips every year etc. Why would they want to side with a cause that says they are guilty and they can’t even remember how?
The only reason we have electricity running in NSW, Vic and SA on this cold winters night is because of coal generation in Qld and Tas hydro power. Vic’s brown coal is running full steam but not quite enough. NSW hasn’t been meeting it needs for sometime. We are sitting on a tight wire because the renewables fail to generate on dark cold evenings with little wind. It is a disaster in the making.

I thought the French system operated on the principle that if you’re good looking you’re let off.
“Psychiatrists formed a view that Denyer obtained immense gratification from the humiliation, mutilation and killing of women.”
Indeed, and there’s zero reason to doubt that his hatred of women has subsided over the decades. It is interesting and disturbing, though not unusual, that serial killer like Denyer has identified as a woman whilst behind bars, and whilst now apparently he doesn’t, who’s to say that on release, and using Victoria’s radical self ID laws, Denyer decides to identify as a woman once again, and thus enters and uses female only spaces.
It’s insane. Who in their right mind would want this dangerous man released? He gave up any right to liberty when he brutally murdered three young women. Is there parole for them? No.
Meh!

There are plenty of people in the country who have known (or say they know), for at least the last 8 years (and probably longer), what changes could be made in aboriginal communities to lead them to lower violence, better health, and dare I say a richer life.

They are looking for the most gratingly annoying people they can find and, once they are assembled, they put them in an Ashes commentary box.

Only 10% renewables supplying our electricity grid across all five eastern states tonight. And Bowen and the lunatics think that renewables will sustain our grid when we are forced to turn off coal. Pull the other one mate. You can’t make the wind blow.
You’re confusing me with yourself Mud and those terminally boring threads about comments you find like, really witty.
Call me old fashioned, old school tends to take pot shots at people always from a rear. Perhaps getting his own meds back helps balance out the universe.
Well, if you knew that, why didn’t you disclose it?
Because I couldn’t give a flying fornication. It’s at the Courier Mail, pay for a subscription dickhead.
It is no coincidence that the dambusters chaps spent considerable time working on the device rotation to get it to sink down the dam wall, along with a delayed detonation, for the sole purpose of creating maximum havoc.
An explosion on the surface of the water, let alone the top of dam wall, doesn’t quite cut it.
What, are you a bit LGBTIQ+++ friendly, pard?
Unless it’s a tactical nuke. 🙂
The whole renewable transmission grid is a thirty year vision. It’s a statement littered through all the strategy documents.
AEMO has rubbed Bowen’s crystal balls and can foresee the future and all technological advances that may occur.
This is the mother of all white elephants in the making.

I feel a complete rewrite of our criminal justice system is needed as it will always be watered down.
I feel very strongly about this. All of the below ought to be constitutionally enshrined.
A 50-year ultimate bar on the most serious prosecutions, murder, genocide, war crimes.
For all other crimes, a 5-year statute of limitations with equitable tolling
Go back to the 12-year bar on civil claims and the 30-year ultimate bar.
Why? Because countries with statutes of limitations have lower crime rates.
I suppose the causal mechanism might be an incentive to report and investigate.
I also feel people don’t understand reasonable doubt to the point where it is misapplied very frequently.
I would make criminal and civil claims beyond ANY doubt. Yes, you heard me right.
I would not want to lose my liberty, property or (possibly, my life) on 9/11 jurors (at perhaps a third trial) or on the balance of probabilities.
Why? Recent and frequent miscarriages of justice.
I believe that the criminal procedure from arrest to trial needs to change. Arrest warrants issued by the bench need to be virtually the only reason for an arrest other than the direct pursuit of a crime witnessed by police. Indictments must come from a grand jury (which gives reason to an arrest warrant too) or from a committal after an arrest for pursuit of a crime. Probable cause should be allowed but only under very limited circumstances; such that abuse of it results in the “fruit of the poison tree doctrine” and the case is permanently stayed.
The probity value of unethically or illegally obtained evidence is too strongly favoured in the new evidence laws. We should adopt the American fruit of the poison tree doctrine.
The rape shield laws are a bad idea. I feel sorry for victims, but without proper process, more false convictions will result; this reduces disincentives for career criminals and serial offenders and lessens faith in the judicial process. Allowing “Jay” and his ilk to change the details of their testimony “because they were abused” has been a terrible, stupid and short-sighted idea.
Why? Recent and frequent miscarriages of justice.
Now, the idea of plod handing out security and liquor licences is absurd as riding around on a Cobb and Co coach and pretending you’re Governor Bourke.
Police should not regulate and regulators should never police. Nor should police be given powers to sign anything resembling a judicial exercise of office (the power to issue fines ought to be greatly curbed) and they should never get special treatment as silent partners to legislators eager to make the job of the police easy and convenient.
Why? Because everything about the above smacks of living in an unfree convict colony under a police state.
Unanimous juries, true double jeopardy, disallowing the abuse of changing indictments and charge sheets and ending multiple trials for a moveable feast of indictments for the same crimes need to be enforced.
Why? Because allowing the current state of trials is a rigged game and false convictions undermines faith in the criminal justice system and professional criminals beat the system.
The current trend to make more and more offences summary offences as well as palm off indictable offences to the local courts is truly disgusting.
Why? Because it is antithetical to the Manga Carta (1215), 1689 Bill of Rights, 1789 Declaration of the Rights of Man***, 1791 Bill of Rights and the assumptions that the Commonwealth Constitution (1900) was made under.
I have a belief in classical republicanism and it has eight core values that we would be better governed under.
Sortition
Term limits
Subsidiarity
Confederalism
Recall elections
Jury nullification
CIR to strike down bad laws
Sunset clauses on all legislation
This with the judicial & criminal process ideals as reforms would see us living more freely and with faith in convictions and severe sentences for serious crimes – a safer, happier and more stable society.

It’s hardly surprising that you cannot understand a simple statement, since your head (and the rest of you) are full of sh1t, Turd Case.
I’d suggest that you broaden your reading beyond Labor talking points, but that drivel is about the limit of your comprehension.
Why would you presume that?
So you’re into gram checking too, OSC. Neat.
Let’s play.
It is exactly as you say.
The engineering basis of design for the distribution infrastructure would typically be 60+ years.
The expected life of the renewable generation infrastructure would be 15-20 years.
Not entirely sure what it is, but something does not compute. There must be an Excel spreadsheet that explains it.
Why not, seeing you’re asking after one of the biggest loons on the site.

“Da Indian stole mi petrol”
… didn’t go into Mud’s witty comments threads as that would have to claim 2023.

I’d no idea about the extent of RFK’s popularity and, possibly more importantly, lack of unpopularity.

The rate for Alcohol-induced deaths was the highest in 10 years.

I think ancient trading routes are a fascinating thing to look at, but “mining” would have been severely limited.
They were a meat-dependent tribal society that seasonally used grains, fruits and tubers to supplement their diet (largely consisting of meat or fish).

“The mining doesn’t look like conventional mining,” he said. “But any miner would understand that it would be called mining. There’s no machinery obviously, but there were tools and levers.”
The only tool here is the alleged writer. Not an author at all. So, to this mining stuff. No Gold, no Silver, no Iron, no Copper, no Opals, no, no, no, smelting. Just stone. And no wheel. FFS.
Recently, airlines were pushing the idea that technology is now so advanced in the cockpit that just one pilot was needed on flights..

Scientific management (Taylorism) was invented by a mechanical engineer and practiced by Henry Ford. It works.
Marketing is the highest discipline in commerce. I say that as an economist and economics has an imperialist empiricism and is older than most second to accounting as stewardship. There is a reason that it wasn’t always taught to first year undergraduates.
I recommend a book called The Delta Project. It was 1 – 2 decades ahead of its time and helped me finally understand marketing. It was published in 2001. Marketing is rightfully cradle to grave product or service oversight for owners or managers. Ideally you’d embrace Taylorism and objective methods like numerical methods, statistical hypothesis testing and generally being empirical.
Being a pedant here but I think you mean advertising.

The MIT tech site is an effective resource for the most recent developments in tech; it is not a marketing site. I believe you are perplexed. MIT is the world’s top tech institution rather than a trades school (immediately after 9th grade). It’s interesting what comes out of there.
But now is your chance to express any scientific disagreements you may have with what MIT says on the development of solid state batteries. We are happy to wait for a response.
Getting back to the subject that triggered me with respect to what Old School and a few others posted earlier regarding the serial killer.
It appears lost on some of the people here that the Andrews government is tailoring legislation to keep this scumbag in prison for the rest of his life. Here’s what should concern those who call themselves conservatives: This animal was sentenced to x number of years in the clink for the horrid things he did and appears to have done his time.
It doesn’t seem at all worrying to some that a government would legislate a tailored law just to keep the animal in prison. And some here call themselves conservatives and adherents to the rule of law. My arse.
You want to give the government the right to legislate against individuals.
JC reckons he’s too good for that crowd.
Fatboy, that’s not helpful.
is there one that doesn’t ?

That’s actually a pet dislike of mine.
Too gutless to give a depraved scumbag the key they scratch around for special ways of keeping them locked up.
Eg: the Grenough axe murderer. Hacked 4 people to death and raped the bodies of the 2 little girls. Has been applying for parole for about 5 years now.
In what sane world should he ever be released.
Yet judges just can’t bring themselves to say “ yeah, nah, you die in jail asshole”
seriously?
your whole premise is like “i read it it on the internet”?
Eggsactly Mole.
Ensure these urchins are never released, but for lord’s sake creating the opportunity for tailored legislation. What could ever go wrong?
Other that regular books, mags etc, how else do you obtain information, you assertion troll? Try and craft an answer to this new assertion without avoiding it.
Having dedicated areas of quality stone for production and exchange along trade routes is a well-known feature of aboriginal society and of all stone-age cultures. During the early neolithic in Britain the Langdale area became very significant, where rock cutting was done in high inaccessible places, signifying a ritual value was placed stones from on the area itself. In hunter-gatherer societies often these stone quarries were for local use only. The Victorian ones at Mount William are the best known and most extensive in aboriginal Australia. The stones were often put into a handle and used for chopping purposes. Among other things, such as the essential grinding of seeds and other foodstuffs needing breaking down, they were useful for cutting meat, cleaning skins, and hitting recalcitrant women. As Dot notes, the ‘native flour’ was only a supplement to the main diet of small animals, occasional hunting gains of large animals and ‘picked’ berries, plus dug up roots.
