Earlier:
Mr Rotten, at 2.14:
‘Formally identified’ does not mean:
a. Recognising someone from the telly;
b. Thinking the dead bloke looks vaguely like the picture on a driver licence in his pocket; nor
c. Conflating the registered owner of a car with a half-headless person inside it.
‘Formally identified’ means someone who knows the dead bloke very, very well identifying him while he’s on the slab, and quite often with either bits missing or bits sticking into him. They go to paper. ‘My name is X, I have today seen the body of a person I know as XX XXXX. I have known XX XXXX for X amount of years. He was my son/father/brother/cousin/workmate/longtime friend.’
Then, and only then, is a deadun ‘formally identified’ – even though on occasions it may be obvious who it is. Plod will not usually trumpet this sort of thing to the media. If the family want to do it, fine. If the media want to roll the dice and hope they don’t get it wrong (even though at times the NOK have yet to be told) – well, that’s their own business.
In order to have the next of kin do the formal identifying, as described.
Because if they went to the ‘Australian MSM*’ first they run the gauntlet of the bloke not actually being who they thought it was. Easy to do with headless people and the like.
In any event – why is this your business?
*This would be the same ‘Australian MSM’ that is subject to relentless (justified) bagging from all corners, yet which is still slavishly pored over by the same corners.

you think that sheer force will mean an attack will rob you of your treasures, during which you may be physically injured, so you will be better off without them.
Well.. yes and no.
Valuables can be used in bargaining, but are no guarantee against sheer force, be it weaponised or not.
Once there are no rules, nothing is off the table.
Cathars, Templars, Monks, Huguenots, French Aristocrats, Kulaks, Jews etc.. can attest to that.
Of course, learning to use force/weapons can help against some of these threats. Something that precious possessions, on their own, cannot do.
If it’s everyone for themselves… you know the rest.
A lady, and her husband, who fled Hitler’s Germany in the 1930’s and settled in a West Australian rural town, convinced an openly mocking German immigration official, as they left Germany, that the contents of the ladies jewellery case were worthless, costume jewellery…

I watched a doco last night about Elizabeth Holmes who ran Theranos (the dodgy ‘one drop of blood’ pathology company).
She had a few well known old guys on the board (including Henry Kissinger, George Shulz).
They were totally in her thrall, to the point that, when Shultz’s grandson (who was working at Theranos) warned him that it was a fraud, he cut the grandson off cold.
It’s as if these guys vicariously recapture their youth through association with “a bright young thing” and suspend any inquisitive instincts they must have had as younger men.
The doco was well worth a look.
We had seen a previous dramatisation and thought they must have cranked up her sociopathy for dramatic effect.
If anything they under-cooked it.
Wow!

I’ll stand by with the buckets of boiling water to slosh in the faces of invaders and a huge iron frying pan to rap onto fingers clinging to the railings.
Well, that’s the theory. The only time we were threatened by an aggro loonie all he and Hairy did was yell abuse to each other until Hairy’s abuse was the loudest and worst and from the greater height at the top of the stairs to the loonie’s position at the bottom, and so the loonie slunk away. We knew him and Hairy did well to see him off.
That would worry me even more than finding myself in agreement with the CCP, if I were the sort to try to determine the truth by taking a vote. But I’m not, so I find this dispute between Arky and CL ridiculous. I don’t care how many depraved loonies happen to agree with my position.

Here’s a brief timeline of the VNI West transmission line project.
2022
– July 22nd AEMO releases a document that outlines the transmission line projects. Melbourne-Bendigo-Kerang is still the path.
– Dec 2 AEMO and Transgrid put out another paper saying other options for VNI West are being investigated.
– Dec 20th (Secret Santa) Another document that for the first time shows a big shaded area from Bulgana to Kerang as option 5 (Get Jacinta Allan as new premier option- must avoid Bendigo)
2022
– Feb 3rd A discussion and consultation paper released. The document claims that new route options were chosen because of consultation with key community stakeholders. The ghost who walks among us, because nobody knew, not even the media.
– Feb 19th (Sun) Landholders are stuck out from appealing to National Electricity Law by the Andrew’s government.
– March 15th Rural media print a copy of the proposed path.
– April 5th VNI West submissions to AEMO close.
– May 27th (Sat) State Energy Minister Lily D’Ambrosio uses an order to approve and fast track the western link transmission lines plus an unannounced route change from an Echuca crossing to a Koondrook crossing. Consultation for landholders in the new zone – zero.
July is the month in which all the consultation will be finalised and a narrowed down path chosen. September will be D Day for final environmental studies (why bother as the decision to build is set in stone).
Construction to commence in 2026 and finished in 2030.
Sure, it’s not great being on this side of the fence with these clowns.

Early morning, 18 June 1815, the day of the Battle of Waterloo.
Napoleon and his chief of staff are standing outside the farmhouse being used as HQ, looking across the valley to where Wellington is deploying his army.
Napoleon: “Wellington has gathered an impressive force, this will be a hard battle.” He thinks for a moment, and then calls his valet, who is laying out his uniform for the day: “For such a hard battle, I will wear the red shirt, so that if I am wounded, the men will not see the blood and lose heart”.
Soon after, Marshal Ney, commanding Napoleon’s cavalry, gallops up to the farmhouse, jumps from his horse, and reports: “Sire, my scouts have returned, they report that Marshal Blucher is marching with 100,000 Prussian troops to join Wellington this day”.
Napoleon thinks for a moment, and calls to his valet: “And I will wear the brown trousers”.

Melbourne, the arsehole of Australia, Canberra 663km up it.
If you read what I said you’ll see that I agreed that it was at times no holds barred.
But things are contextual, always.
For instance, reports of the Viking attack on Lindisfarne in 793 makes it appear as though all of the monks were killed. But some did escape and others were taken alive by the Vikings into slavery, more valuable alive than dead. It wasn’t a total massacre. Certainly, one wouldn’t expect much mercy from the Vikings as their culture demanded blood sacrifices of defeated enemies; they were doubtless further incensed by the attacks by Charlemagne on their own religious beliefs and allies when he killed 4,500 Odin-worshipping tribal chiefs of Saxony in Verdun in 783, which started off in 772.
I think we need to shut the whole place down till we figure out just whats going on down there..

Melbourne boy, 14, hit by car then killed in stabbing attack by two masked men
Teenager was in St Albans with two friends, walking home from the train station, when SUV struck him and men got out

Victoria police Det Insp David Dunstan said the attack was horrific as he revealed investigators believe the 14-year-old boy was targeted but it was not gang related.
…
Local police will step up patrols in the area however Dunstan said the rest of the community was not in danger.
He said the victim may have known another teenager who was fatally attacked in the nearby suburb of Sunshine in May as they lived and attended school in the same area, however there was no evidence the crimes were linked.

I have seen a figure (IIRC, from an AEMO luminary) of $400,000 per km.
How surprising!
One of Hollywood’s most powerful figures has dismissed the Duchess of Sussex as a talentless broadcaster after the end of her multimillion-dollar deal with Spotify.
Jeremy Zimmer, who is the chief executive of United Talent Agency, gave his view on the audio talent of the duchess after the streaming giant backed out of its $20 million deal.
Zimmer, who has guided the careers of household names such as Benedict Cumberbatch and Damian Lewis, said he was not surprised that Spotify had parted ways with the couple after one series.
“Turns out Meghan Markle was not a great audio talent, or necessarily any kind of talent,” he told the news website Semafor at the Cannes Lions advertising festival in France. “And, you know, just because you’re famous doesn’t make you great at something,” he added.
Just some “Coast Guard boats” no worries.
My money’s on Trudeau as the anti-Christ.
Truly awful and evil “human” being.
$400,000 is the cost to AEMO for all works and compensation.
Landholder compo will be through the usual valuation process. AEMO put that figure out and when it was misquoted as compensation to landholders, they made no attempt to set the record straight. Greedy cockies suits the narrative.

Good luck with that. When you cannot explain or write down the wording of a change/amendment to the Australian Constitution (Law) and then you expect the Voters to vote on a ‘chimera’ then you are well and truly Farked.

I really don’t care. That your argument has now descended to ‘if you’re not for Ukraine you must be a communist or communist adjacent’ just shows how little confidence you have of the merits of your own position.
You know which Australian political party supports your line on Ukraine?
so what- conclusions after thoughtful analysis don’t require approval/disapproval of pollimuppets. Appeal to authority. Pathetic.
..
Because it it the simplest and most elegant solution: that Australian parties tend to agree on those things in Australia’s general interest when it comes to defence, given that each party assumes it will at one time or another be in power and responsible for that defence. And no party wants to be in power during a foreign invasion.
..
You don’t care to ask why all the communist parties all around the world support your position? Doesn’t give you pause at all?
You are not entitled to learn the identity of a murder victim before the family of that victim. That is what you wanted. And then you moaned about it when you didn’t get it.
What a dick head you are. The NSW Plod had already informed the Family as to what had happened. Please pay attention. Not that you can with only a cave to live in.
And then the Daily Mail somehow got to know the name of the stone dead person before NSW Plod would release the name of the dead bread crook/colourful/identity. So have a go at the Daily Mail then. TOSSER. Pommy Bar Stewards………..lol

Wodney, hasn’t your parole officer told you to stop over -reacting or else?
You seem to have the same lisp speech problem as Mrs Stencho Pantyhose. You ‘Sirry Iriot’.
Let’s put this notion that Putin suppresses the opposition in a bit of context. Yes, Nalvany got prosecuted. But he was not the leader of the main opposition party, his party was 5th or 6th down the list. So him going to jail would be like use throwing Pauline Hanson in jail.
Now, being an enlightened Western democracy, we would never do that. Except for that time that we did.
Indeed. And the best chance of that occurring is with a multipolar world. China is already a major power. ‘Containing’ it now simply to stave off diminishing US ‘hegemony’ is a fool’s errand. China, however, will not enjoy what the US has these last few decades. It will, like India, Brazil, the Europeans, etc. find itself a regional power balanced by the others incl. the US.

I am as confident of my position on this as I was of my position on the vaccines, that they were not going to work out to end the pandemic they way they thought they would. I had no reservation about making that categorical prediction because I knew that their model depended on a half a dozen different things ALL being true, each of which had a probability below 90%, some well below. Multiplied out that made their predictions garbage and their position that the vaccines should be mandatory or all but mandatory, highly authoritarian and inappropriate.
Likewise, for things to be the way you think they are vis-à-vis the Wests stance towards the Ukraine and our relationship with our very necessary alliance with the USA, multiple things, many of them not just of low probability, but many with probabilities that can’t even be estimated, ALL have to fall your way.
Numerous people throughout the West have to have been bribed. The current cultural malaise needs to be fatal. The Russians have to be what you assume them to be, and not what they give every appearance of being. The Ukraine has to be irredeemably corrupt and Nazis who happened to elect a j*wish president. The breaking of our allegiances has to have better outcomes than continuing with them. I could go on and on with the assumptions you are making, some of which may be true in whole or in part, but which ALL need to be correct for your position to be the correct one.
No.
I am as sure of this as I am about the vaccine f- up.
And as your position is the outlier, you are the one required to bring the tickets, whereas throughout the day it’s been me showing the proof.
Finally, and this is the big one, your position rests on a total logical failure.
Are we really to break an alliance and fall in with that alliance’s opponents because we think that the current leadership of that alliance may be being influenced by the very opponents the alliance is set up to oppose?
So we are to jump into the fire to avoid the inconvenience of tottering on the edge of the fire?
No, because I never start by asking what the various positions of the parties are on any issue in order to judge which is correct.
Really? How did it work re COVID? On abortion? On trans? On water management? Energy policy? And so on. Not very well it appears.
“So him going to jail would be like use throwing Pauline Hanson in jail.
Now, being an enlightened Western democracy, we would never do that. Except for that time that we did.”
Indeed, and let’s not forget the US, another ‘enlightened’ Western democracy, would also never do that. Except we’re witnessing, in real time, the current US administration trying to put Donald J Trump in prison.

How are the things you oppose (and I also almost entirely) on any of those issues characterised as the most simple or elegant?
How is neutering children in response to a usually passing mental condition simple or elegant in comparison to say, DOING NOTHING and letting things resolve themselves?
How is banning our current means of transportation (ICE) and dithering about with stupid renewables either simple or elegant in comparison to say, leaving things alone letting the market sort out wha5 type of vehicles people want to buy and what types of fuel to use?
On abortion, how is turning something that a vast majority of people believe should be a very rare exception into a form of contraception the simple solution? As opposed to making the case to young people that maybe they shouldn’t take sex so lightly that they end up in the position of making that awful decision.
No. In every case you mention the overly complex reasoning is the indication that something isn’t right in the reasoning presented.
The simple, elegant and logical is the correct reasoning.
Bang on the money, Mr Orwell. Here we go:
The English are a nation populated by small timid shopkeepers and librarians, who manage to be simultaneously spindly and pasty. This is a consequence of generations of sending their children down mineshafts for 20 hours a day after their eighth birthdays. They suffer convulsions if affected by lack of sleet, and if the temperature rises above 20 degrees.
Their musical idols are raving pouves, and none of them can cook – evidenced by their diet of kippers and various intestines.
Like Californians after them, they insist on leaving their ancestral shitholes and then complaining that the places they move to are not up to standard. For the Poms, this means not cold enough, not hot enough, without the requisite levels of smog to maintain their bone-white complexions and that there are not enough other English in whichever enclave they cement themselves into.
The UK should be hooked up and towed west-northwest, and then moored off the coast of Iceland so they can be properly enslaved by Vikings again, as they were 1500 years ago.
Their expats should be rounded up, cattle-carred to Hall Creek, dumped, the town renamed Manchester and its new occupants left to fend for themselves. Without phones, to reduce the whinging to a more manageable level in the one location.

He is entitled to walk out with those documents while still President and the act of doing so is its own act of declassification. Try and keep up. The best that can be said re your case is that it is based on a novel interpretation of the law given that previous Presidents have done the same and never been indicted under the Espionage Act.
Exactly my first thought. Contrails appear and disappear as the conditions for their formation change.

There is a good argument for Australian rearmament on a large scale. China is a threat and not being beholden to America is a good thing.
Yes, it would cost a lot of money but I can find the money and have some left over for debt consolidation and tax cuts. G/GDP can easily be 15% to 20% and no more.
There are multiple reasons to do this:
We have neglected the military for a long time to the point of routinely having undermanned regiments.
China is very expansionist and aggressive.
We would be able to deal with state and non-state piracy which affects our trade routes and counter asymmetric hard power by unsavoury states.
It is a direct foil to soft power we don’t have the economic capacity to deal with.
North Korea is too a threat.
Having our own capable defence, we can be an ally, not a client state. America benefits from this too.
Being obliged to support America in anything they do exposes you to both unpredictable non-state actors retaliating asymmetrically (“terrorism” to be curt) and it also means you might accelerate a regional conflict far removed from us that could, unfortunately, slide into global nuclear war after a chain of escalating events.
It drastically increases the disincentive to threaten Australian interests let alone makes invading us seem rather foolhardy.
I’ve recently supported the idea of the large-scale adoption of drones, nukes and a large militia. I still support that.
The question is if the voters would support spending about 8% of GDP on defence instead of 2%.
I mean three regular corps of the army, plus a reserve.
A Navy four times the size of what we have, to match the Army.
The airforce expanded similarly.
I would rather pay upfront than pay later for an unspecified amount.

Pentagon names finalists to replace Bradley Fighting Vehicle
General Dynamics and American Rheinmetall will compete for a lucrative military contract
Originally dubbed the ‘Optionally Manned Fighting Vehicle,’ the XM30 will be a tracked vehicle with anti-tank capabilities much like the Bradley, but is expected to feature a hybrid electric engine and have some autonomous systems, the Army has said.
While a similar competition to replace the Bradley was held in 2019, the Pentagon was forced to scrap its plans after receiving only one bid. It later launched another effort, with five firms submitting bids, including the manufacturer of the Bradley, Britain’s BAE Systems.
The military hoped to choose three companies for the detailed design and prototyping phase of development, but Doug Bush, the Army’s assistant secretary for acquisition, logistics and technology, explained that officials wanted to ensure they had enough resources to keep the program afloat.
“We now have information we didn’t have before, including the bids themselves, which informed us about the overall resources required by the program,” he told reporters on Monday.
The equipment made by GDLS includes the M1 Abrams main battle tank and the Stryker wheeled armored vehicle. Rheinmetall, which is based in Germany, designed the Leopard tank, many of which have been donated to Ukraine by several NATO members.
The Bradley Fighting Vehicle has made headlines in recent months after the White House agreed to supply the weapon to Ukrainian troops, part of more than $40 billion in direct military aid to Kiev since the conflict with Russia erupted last year.
According to the New York Times, at least 17 of the 113 Bradleys provided have already been damaged or destroyed by Russian forces, or about 15% of the total.
It will also be required to have glory holes, a tampon dispenser, diversity wires and sissy seats.
