Fair go.
Parish took the snap kick under pressure in the wet and missed.
Houston managed to get it over the line by a foot with the last kick of the night.
A toughly contested game which either side would have considered themselves stiff to lose.
Here is the future.

Just reading some of the comments under the Malcolm Roberts clip this may relate to the position last year. They seem to think it is very much alive at the moment.
You Tube banning John Ruddick’s NSW LC maiden speech and being reuploaded by London Real is an example of the Streisand Effect.
It warms the cockles of my heart.
I’m voting “NO” in the name of my elders.
No Mr Panzer, Parish had time to straighten up and run that bit of extra distance and put the game to bed. Went for the flashy option, paid the ultimate penalty.
Don’t look at me, mate. Not news to me personally. We have a close family and I’m very happily married. We share everything except sport. He’s staying up too late watching the cricket for a man with a cold, so I tell him, as I stalk off to my guest bedroom clutching a hot water bottle in lieu of him.
What isn’t exciting however is this short pitched bullshit being served up by Enggeerrrllllaaannnddd. Being around 130 clicks won’t trouble many batsmen worth their salt. In saying that, Cameron Green takes one on the scone. Right on the coat of arms.
Did we? Did I have a drink in my hand at the time? If so, all bets are off.
Now the artificial vag is called a Bonus Hole. That’s even worse.
I suggested an ‘arm flap’ might give men an inkling of how offended women are. Men wouldn’t like their pride and joy to be named after a flap of muscle and skin taken off a female to male trannie’s arm in order to give her, oops him, a dick, and all men then having to refer to their penis as an arm flap on pain of fines for offending a newly minted ‘male’ proud of ‘his’ arm flap.
Surely we will look back on these days of gender craziness and wonder how the hell our society ever took this turn.
Err, what game were you watching?
Handball backwards to Parish.
Port player three metres behind him.
Another five metres in front.
Another three metres to his left.
He really only had a 1-2 step and kick option.
I was watching with a mate and we both agreed we were better slotting goals from the couch now than thirty years ago in the freezing rain on the actual paddock.

Staying at the White Star in Southampton…tomorrow we embark on Queen Vic.
Saturday night hotspot, sadly. As we sit and try to enjoy our drinkies and dinner it becomes increasingly evident. We have crossed into LucasWorld and are in a secluded corner of the Mos Eisley cantina.
Exactly when did females become so grotesque? Tattoos, humungous excess flesh, even in the young, shrieking and jabbering at each other. Young men, sitting in large groups drinking copious amounts of lager and hoping…for what exactly? A flamboyant queer struts down the street, surrounded by screeching faghags. Doof doof echoes from a bar.
I fully expect Jabba the Hutt to make an appearance. Perhaps even he has been frightened away.

Major UK bank closes vicar’s account after Nigel Farage’s ‘scary’ warning to his viewers (1 Jul)
This is getting really nasty. Islam allows Christians to exist but the green-progressive religion is rapidly coming to a point of anathemizing us completely from society. As Farage says he may even have to leave Britain, since it is becoming harder and harder to continue there.
Handily, the DoE can start by investigating Biden’s calling Amy Gutman, the President of the University of Pennsylvania, to get his academically sub-par granddaughter into the school in 2019.
In 2016 the University of Pennsylvania launched the ‘Penn Biden Center’ which proved to be an extremely lucrative endeavor for both the university and Joe Biden. The University of Pennsylvania raked in over $1 billion in foreign funding after launching the think tank and paid Joe Biden more than $900,000 from 2017 through April 2019 as a ‘professor’, even though he taught no regular classes.
President Joe Biden nominated Amy Gutmann to serve as his ambassador to Germany in 2021.
20 years ago the press would have been on a story like that like white on rice.
This is fascism, pure and simple. Or exile by other means.
By driving Farage out of the UK the fascists prevent him from organising voters against them. Who could have predicted this from the home of Magna Carta and The Rights Of Man?
Further to my previous comment, UK can monster conservatives and there will not be a backlash as in France. Conservatives don’t burn cars and rampage through cities, they don’t want to cause unnecessary damage and so they lose.
The French Riots
QUESTION: Martin,
You said to watch France and an early warning indicator. Might Europe be on the precipice?
My family, friends, and I thank you for everything that you do.
Best wishes,
JC
ANSWER: “What we are watching in France is far more than simply a police shooting of a 17-year-old youth. The New York Times reported that in subsequent years, several beatings by the police and deaths in custody led to minor protests. This appears to be cumulative, but economic stagnation is eating away at Europe. While the overall unemployment rate in France is about 7%, the youth unemployment rate of ages 15 to 24 remains over 20%. This is a direct source of the unrest. All civil unrest is ALWAYS rooted in economics. A simple correlation between the global economy and economics reveals the source.
The danger is that as the economic conditions of Europe get worse with all the insane regulation for Climate Change that is reducing food production to eliminating jobs, all for a theory pushed by the WEF to create a new world of totalitarian order, we see hostility rising not just internationally, but also domestically and this can spread as a contagion throughout the EU. You cannot destroy the livelihood of so many people without dire consequences. This is partly why they also want the international war to divert attention from their failed climate change agenda.
The recent events in France are an uncanny repeat of the youth/racial riots of the autumn of 2005. That is when two youngsters of Arab origin were electrocuted while trying to escape arrest by the French police. This time, two police officers shot a juvenile of Algerian origin as he tried to escape in a stolen car. The evidence that surfaced showed that the police officer was in no danger. That is what set off the rights once again.
In the hours that followed, literally tens of thousands of primarily young males, many of them minors, poured out and launched violent riots in the suburbs of French cities. These riots appeared Nantes in the north to Marseille in the south. They set fire to cars and public buildings that, included schools. They began to pillage local stores, and hundreds of people were arrested in the process. The government has reported that 170 policemen have been injured. This appears to many as once again racial since the rioters, this time, are third and fourth-generation descendants of migrants. There have been reports that some are said to have used firearms to harass the locals living mostly in social housing.
Terrorist attacks of 2013 on the Bataclan Club in Paris and 2016 in Nice resulted in a significant shock to French society. Consequently, a state of emergency was declared and then extended. It was finally lifted in 2017, but a new law passed simultaneously made some of its provisions permanent. This has left scars that some view as racial against Arab immigrants.
When we look at Europe, what is interesting is that in absolute figures, France remains much more unattractive for continued migration. Social welfare is far better compared to other European countries. In France, the proportion of people born abroad has been stable at around 10% for years because of those terrorist attacks. In Austria, this proportion of migrants has risen from 13% in 2015 to over 20% today. Friends in Austria complain that their society has been forever altered. The massive immigration wave of 2015-2016 hit Germany, the Scandinavian countries, and Austria primarily because of their welfare systems. France was at no time a target country for this mass immigration at that time.
President Emmanuel Macron had to cut his trip short to the pathetic EU summit on migration. Macron has come out and blamed TikTok for the escalation of violence. Interestingly, Twitter began to suppress user accounts in France that posted images and videos of the riots last Friday. Twitter even shut down accounts of non-France origin for posting about the riots. Because of French media law, Twitter avoided committing a criminal offense. Macron is also making the parents of those rioting minors responsible. Back during the 2005 riots, his predecessor, Nicolas Sarkozy, in response to the growing violence, cut social benefits for their families. That was 15 years ago.”

“There’s nothing to review, ‘traditional marriage’ is the only marriage.
Just ask God.
Catholic Education Tasmania to review proposed religion course amid backlash”
I can’t access the piece to read because it’s behind a paywall but a few points…
1. You’re right, traditional marriage is the ONLY marriage, marriage is between a man and a woman, period.
2. Why is Catholic Education Tasmania reviewing this? Why are they giving legitimacy to the howls and cries of militant far-left activists and perverts?
3. I ask, where is the Liberal Party in this? Look, I know the Tasmanian Liberals are so faded that they’re now a pistachio green imitation of Tasmanian Labor and the Greens but surely there are one or two Liberal politicians with some spine to stand up and state that he/she also believes in “traditional marriage”, and that the Catholic Church and Catholic schools should refuse to kowtow to the demands of far-left activists and perverts. Surely?
4. It begs the question, will we see, under a future Tasmanian Labor Green Coalition, a move to forcibly take over Catholic schools, just like we’ve recently seen in the ACT under the Labor Green Coalition government?
And I don’t want anyone here to accuse me of engaging in doomsday alarmism. Because the fact is that I’m not. Given what’s recently ensued in the ACT, I am now at a stage where I discount nothing. We have wall to wall Labor, and as Peta Credlin wrote in her Telegraph piece yesterday, federal Labor and most Labor state governments are now dominated and controlled by the progressive left and they’re pushing their menus, here are some nasty morsels…..
1. Euthanasia. The far-left ACT government, recently empowered by its forced Calvary acquisition, a barbaric act salaciously approved by the Tory hunting and Tory fighting Sleazy the word Slusher, have openly admitted they want teenagers as young as 14 years old to have access to euthanasia.
2. Transpervert gunk. Mutilating children will all be hunky dory. Sterilising children as young as 6 years gold, chopping the breasts and penises off them, denying them future sexual pleasure, forced pronouns on people, recognition of 92 genders (more genders than virgins), and so on. The push for legalised pedophilia is only a few years away, it’s actually percolating now, and they’re now empowered enough to chant….”we’re coming for your children”.
3. Recognition of a terrorist, Jew killing state called Palestine (our resident pervert apologist will heartily approve of that).
4. Anyone who resists, combats, desists, counters, opposes, and withstands this far-left rubbish will just be shouted down, screamed at, smeared, ridiculed, labelled and denounced as far-right, “extreme right”, and yes, the now very fashionable smear….”Nazi”. And we won’t be able to look to any Liberal MP to defend us, just look at the joke that is the Victorian Liberal Party*.
5. Finally, and perhaps most chillingly, the coming assault on free speech, under the spurious heading of “misinformation” and “disinformation”. Not even this blog will be safe.
I could go on, you get the drift, as Credlin wrote yesterday, this country is being altered rapidly, and none of it is good…in fact it’s arguably revolutionary. I’m beginning not to recognise this country, but something worse, I’m beginning not to like this country anymore. And if the Voice gets up, it’s over.
By the way, the Oz has piece penned by that piece of human garbage, Mavis Bramston, calling for Donald Trump Jnr to be banned from this country. Yes, you read that write. And of course, in his turgid piece, he cites the banning of Milo Yiannopoulos in 2019 and Gavin McInnes in 2018. Now, I don’t need to and I shouldn’t need to remind anyone that Milo Yiannopoulos and Gavin McInnes were banned by a Liberal government, the imbecilic Liberal in name only Morrison government (and this was before Covid). And therein lies the rub, we recently endured a Liberal government that believed in nothing, that was only ever interested in empowering its ideological enemies, that regularly spat and shat on its base, and this precedent for banning right-wing speakers was put in place by a so called Liberal National government. You couldn’t make this shit up. Lastly, a message to Peta, and any other Liberal who might be reading this blog, please tell me why I should ever bother voting Liberal or National again?
Nobody is taking any advice about energy from Greta, she is being used as the face of a “movement” that is as genuine as astroturf. Always follow the money. Who benefits? Investors in renewables which are a goldmine and now transitioning into a diamond mine.

The left has been pushing lies, Marxist nonsense and anti-male stuff using child abuse as a convenient vehicle to advance their agenda to target their enemies.
I had a poor suffering feminist friend tell me that older men and younger women shouldn’t be in relationships the other day – she based this on the nonsense Marxist critical theory regarding “power imbalances”.
How are they going to sell child abuse to her?
”we’re coming for your children”- Allan Ginsberg said something similar.
And who is behind the Teals? A billionaire who stands to profit from renewables. Who are the other promoters of Blackout Bowen’s policies? All the other billionaires who profit from renewables. “Clean energy” is a very profitable club and the rest of us are not in it.
When the proverbial hits the fan the renewables billionaires have the means to up stakes and fly away to other parts of the world where they did not follow their lead. Rich environmentalists are just locusts.

Tell me what she’s going to say to allow a 45-year-old man to have sex with a 12-year-old girl and say that a 30-year-old man can’t date or marry a 20-year-old woman.
Hey. I know it’s stupid. I don’t think the voters are this stupid all of the time.
No soul-searching required. Just charge any bureaucrat authorising the killing of anyone on “mental health” grounds with murder.

Not at all. The young Asian women have ‘Pussy Power’.
There is no way this happens without a massive public backlash. Look at the way people have been conditioned to be anti-religious (and believe basically in a blood libel kind of lie about the clergy now) through the persecution of George Pell.
This will bite the left on their Jupiter-sized arses.
Vids of Dutch Police brutality during covid made VikPol look like pussies. Shocking violence on innocent citizens. Their record during WW2 wasn’t great either.
“How are they going to sell child abuse to her?”
Ask her if she thinks “transwomen are women”.
“It won’t get to the voters. It p3dofelia will be re-classified as a condition and decriminalized. Like queerness.”
Correct. It’s already there, hiding in plain site, in the queer movement and in the current LGBTQI+ flag.
Sure dotty. They lock us up for near 2 years, beat up women and old grannies, restrict work only for the vaccinated, bust into homes of pregnant mums, impose curfews and restrict any movement … and the massive public backlash was getting voted in again. Stop dreaming. They can do pretty much what they have a mind to. They being the retards and freaks who gain power.
I read a comment regarding the upcoming 4th of July festivities in the US in which firework play a major role. It went something like:

“Believe Their Lies Or Pay The Consequences” – Tucker Carlson Blasts Trans Ideology As “Just Another Religious War”
Full transcript below:
Hey, it’s Tucker Carlson.
Belmont Hill is a small private school outside of Boston. It’s not famous for its Athletics – the school’s mascot isn’t even an animal, it’s an 18th century navigational tool – the Belmont Hill sextants, doesn’t even make sense. So when it comes to sports, Belmont Hill is not trying very hard.
But the school’s Athletic program can claim at least one important footnote to history – in 1975 it’s football roster contained two names that you will recognize even now Mark Milley and Richard Levine.
Milley is now the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Levine, of course, is our country’s most famous Admiral.
Both transitioned late in life into overweight middle-aged women. Both wound up working as high-level officials in the Joe Biden Administration.
Their teammates at the all boys school in Boston probably wouldn’t have predicted any of that.
Hre’s what Rick Levine looks like now from a video he just posted on Instagram: “hello my name is Admiral Rachel Levine and I have the honor of being the assistant secretary for health at the United States Department of Health and Human Services – happy Pride, happy pride month, and actually let’s declare it a summer of Pride. Happy summer of pride.”
‘Happy summer of Pride’? Rick Levine is so darn proud he’d like to tell you about it all summer and possibly into the fall.
He’s got a lot to be proud of.
What specifically you ask?
Well strangely he doesn’t say nor does he mention his former wife or children – he doesn’t tell us whether they’re proud too.
Since none of them have been invited onto the Today Show to talk about their feelings, we’re going to have to guess for now.
We’re going to assume that his former family is proud and why wouldn’t they be…
Few Americans in our history has come as far as Rick Levine.
Here’s a fat guy in a Halloween costume who somehow became a federal health Minister – not a small thing given that not too long ago this same man was a married pediatrician with kids lecturing about eating disorders at Penn State.
Now he’s emerged as a path-breaking lady Admiral with medals on his chest and he did all of that without winning a single naval battle or even being female.
It’s pretty inspiring.
What we have here is living proof that in this country you really can be whatever you want to be.
If Rick Levine can become Admiral Rachel why can’t you be Napoleon or Lord Mountbatten, the last Viceroy of India – ever see that guy’s uniform, or why not Shaka, the legendary Zulu Warchief.
you could bring your assegai and leopard-hide shield to work at Deloitte and no one would be allowed to say a word about it – the HR department would have your back.
Unfortunately you can’t actually do any of that.
The point of Rick Levine’s amazing transformation is not to free you from the inflexible husk that you were born in so you can be more fully yourself – whatever you decide that is – no that’s not the point.
Rick Levine’s personal Journey has nothing to do with you – it’s about him, it’s his journey.
Your fantasiess about becoming something totally new and different have not been approved yet in fact they’re weird.
Shaka the Zulu War King – come on, that’s racist shut up and be proud of Admiral Rachel.
Rachel L Levine – she’s the one who has smashed glass ceilings – you just got some kind of weird fetish.
So actually now that we’re saying this out loud it’s pretty clear that Rick Levine has no interest in liberating you from anything.
This is not about Liberation it’s just the opposite it’s just another religious War – same as all the others.
The people who think they’re God versus everybody else.
In primitive civilizations – which would include every civilization since the beginning of time until ours – people assume there were rules.
Rules that no human being made but that people could ignore only at their peril – at great risk.
Some call these rules nature, or natural law, or even as society’s advanced theology.
But most of the time people didn’t call them anything – they didn’t have to – there wasn’t a debate about whether the rules were real. People assumed there were consequences to pretending that you were God
They thought Sodom and Gomorrah were real places that were destroyed for Disobedience. They imagine the same thing could happen to them.
Not anymore. Rick Levine doesn’t worry about being punished by forces he can’t see. He knows he’s in charge – he makes the rules, he sets the limits. Reality is what he says it is – that’s his View and he shares with virtually everybody else in a position of authority in the United States.
That’s a pretty bold bet really – for seven million years human beings have believed one thing – presumably based on some evidence; around 2015 they began convinced of something completely different.
Are they right?
It feels like we’re going to find out soon..
Tv tells me in Maryborough Queensland, there is something called the Mary Poppins festival. So they’ve fired up a 150 year old train, dress ups of course, grandma races with prams and I think I just saw the granddads running the last furlong on the racetrack, with one codger taking a tumble. I hope the curtain wasn’t drawn.
Looked fantastic, (not bloke falling) is it an annual thing?
No I am sorry the grandparent race on the racetrack was in the US. Still looked awesome!

Think whatever you like dotty- I don’t really care. I’m convinced the apathy of the average Australian will win out every time.I’m also convinced that the filth and their freak movement , over time, will dilute and generally reduce p#do laws to the point where it becomes essentially decriminalized. And you stomping your libertarian foot wearing rosy glasses won’t even be a minute speed bump along the way.
Thanks GreyRanga. That was mentioned in the last weather report on the Today program. Looks a massive amount of fun and games.

Yes campaigners will not be putting celebrities at the front and centre of their campaign in an extraordinary backflip.
In April, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese intended to recruit Indigenous superstars, but the campaign has since shifted its focus to ordinary Australians.
A source in the campaign said fears were raised using celebrities would backfire and the shift was made because Australians don’t like being told what to do.
Daily Mail
Finally.
They are starting to see the problem.
Sorry for being real, dotty. Try to get over it.
PM Albanese was bundled into his car by AFP on Thursday after farmers protesting the Interconnector West project crashed an even in Horsham VIC.
As Mr Albanese left the scene, protesters made “offensive hand gestures” and “cheered and hugged” following his departure, according to the ABC.
Meanwhile, Federal Labor’s polling in QLD has dropped by almost 4%.
I’d say the honeymoon is over.
Count yourselves lucky. We, in the Wild West have Pat Dodson telling us that a defeat in the referendum will damage Australia’s standing in the international community.
And when the Voice arrives you can expect lots more of the same:
Fierce debate has erupted over calls for hikers to steer clear of an iconic Sunshine Coast mountain out of respect to Indigenous people during NAIDOC Week.
Amid ongoing controversy over access to popular sites such as Uluru and Wollumbin/Mount Warning, the Queensland department of environment has urged visitors to Tibrogargan not to climb the summit this week.
Like Wollumbin in the Tweed, which has been off limits to hikers since the start of the coronavirus pandemic amid fears it will be permanently closed in deference to a mysterious Indigenous outfit known as the Wollumbin Consultative Group, the Glass House Mountains have also been the subject of speculation over whether climbers will be banned in the future.
Tibrogargan attracts more than 20,000 hikers each year, a similar number to Mount Beerwah, which has also been the subject of pleas for people not to scale the peak due to its cultural significance to local Aboriginal people.

The walls of my local Catholic Church this week have been spiced up with Aboriginal Stations of the Cross. For Abo and TS Islander week we were told this morning.
We were subjected to a short speech at the beginning of mass about the oldest living culture on earth and how much they’d suffered and more about the duty of caring for the underprivileged. It was like taking a dose of castor oil and I reckon people will grow sick and tired of all the hectoring.
The Stations are actually really good. Lots of ochre and browns with white dots and black figures.
Thing is, if everyone is shown as black, what’s to stop a feminist version, or gay or trans or Storeman and Packers’ Union version ? I thought Paul told us something different.
Hear, hear!
The oldest living culture on Earth is actually that of the San Bushmen, of Southern Africa – over 100,000 years.
“We were subjected to a short speech at the beginning of mass about the oldest living culture on earth…”
Where in Australia are aboriginals living as they did prior to white settlement?
Elon Musk is Self-Immolating on Twitter and Being Disingenuous About the Reasoning

The “oldest living culture” tag is certainly open to dispute. The rationale behind it is genomic studies that purport to show that Australian aboriginals diverged from the Eurasian population before any other ethnic group did.
We may see some tangible results of this in a decade or so. After more than a decade of severe under investment.
Yes, thank you Zulu and Roger. So much of this is just unquestioned. The not counted trope is another.
A group of the locals claim “we should be proud to walk in the footsteps of the worlds oldest living culture.” If one is crass enough to point out that you have no choice, considering they never invented the wheel, the conversation deteriorates…
Paywallian:
Peter Dutton has accused some of Australia’s largest companies – including Rio Tinto, Wesfarmers and BHP – of lacking a “significant backbone” over their support for an Indigenous voice to parliament, saying it was not in the country’s best interest.
The three corporations have each donated $2m each to the Yes23 campaign, which on Sunday is holding events around the country in a bid to ramp up momentum behind the constitutional change.
Asked about the donations on Sunday, the Opposition Leader said many people were craving popularity and trying to appease those in the Twittersphere.
“There are many corporates at the moment, frankly, who lack a significant backbone,” he told Sky News’s Sunday Agenda program.
“There are debates that corporate Australia should be involved in and at the moment I don’t think they’re paying, you know, due consideration to the views of their workforce to the views of the community.
“There are a lot of CEOs and chairs who have very different conversations with you in private than what they say publicly because they’re worried about ESG (environmental, social and governance) and remuneration packages being voted down at AGMs and it’s time they started to stand up for what’s in our country’s best interests.
“Clearly, the way that the Prime Minister has proposed the voice and conducted himself in his campaign, the voice is not in our country’s best interests. And on that basis, I hope that people can support us in other tangible ways of finding better outcomes for Indigenous Australians, which is what we all desire.”
Mr Dutton also hit out at Rio Tinto for the “significant damage” it had done to Indigenous culture after destroying rock shelters of exceptional significance at Juukan Gorge.
He claimed that if the voice disagreed with Indigenous elders Rio Tinto had formed good relationships with, the voice would override them.
“Instead of trying to deal with these things (Juukan Gorge) post the event, they should have had the proper processes in place to stop an event from taking place,” he said.
“I’ve sat down with Rio Tinto and, for example, they have an excellent working relationship with Indigenous elders in their local community. They provide royalties back into the community. And I think, if there’s a divide in the view of the voice enshrined in the Constitution and the local voice of the elders that they’ve got a good relationship with now, that the voice in Canberra will override that.
“How can that be in Rio Tinto’s or that local community’s best interests? So I think there’s, frankly, a lot of business leaders in our country today need to reassess where they are on some of these debates.”
The government has proposed a voice enshrined in the Constitution that would have no veto power over the government and parliament but be able to provide advice on matters that affect Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
Link.
There has been one aspect of Da Voice that seems to have received scant attention.
Da Voice will be peopled by, and designed to facilitate the intentions of the elites within the Aboriginal industry.
We have witnessed decades of the same failing schemes being deployed with ever increasing funding. One after another we have had politicians and activists telling us that the situation is dire, admonishing the public telling them it is because they are racist, and that the only solution is to confiscate more of their hard earned and spend it on some new (but same as the old) scheme.
The problem is always racism. The solution is always money.
Obviously the existing strategies do not work, but the elites have a vested interest in them.
If Da Voice is established, beyond any oversight and without having to answer for itself, these same schemes, the same endless rivers of money pouring into the same bottomless pockets.
They will never countenance a different strategy. Never permit a fresh, reevaluated approach.
Far from delivering improvements for Aborigines, it will lock in failure, degradation, and suffering.
“Yes, thank you Zulu and Roger. So much of this is just unquestioned. The not counted trope is another.”
I’d be particularly concerned about its intrusion into church life, especially liturgy, which both enacts and teaches the church’s faith.”Social justice”, of which special rights for indigenous folk is a sub-set, has become a substitute for faith for those in the churches who deem themselves too sophisticated to believe in the old dogmas.

Tasmanian indigenous activist Michael Mansell says Albanese should scrap the referendum, legislate the Voice and proceed with a Treaty.
Seems he doesn’t want non-indigenous Australians to have a voice in these matters that have an effect on them.

This outrage is not over. I have just received this email from a Sydney group opposed to the mRNA vaccines:
An elderly lawyer Dr John Wilson, has been in jail for three weeks.
He will appear in Downing Centre Local & District Court on Tuesday, 4th July 2023 at 9:30am.
Dr Wilson has a Medical License that states he cannot be put in jail.
However, the judge ignored this, based on Dr Wilson having previously breached an AVO for a harmless email message.
From 1st July, proof of being triple jabbed will be required, to visit a prisoner.
Prior to 1st July this wasn’t required.
Why is this necessary now?
From 1996 to 2023, that 3.75 mn terrace house in Paddington appreciated 7.16% a year, CAGR.
From 1998 to 2022, total wage growth including bonuses and overtime had CAGR of 2.98% a year.
Not a problem at all, apparently. How long can this go on for?
“Just live 150 km away from the CBD”
“Just live in a 25 m^2 studio until you have multiple kids”
The ruling parties refuse to let primary industries develop without numerous roadblocks, so regional growth and housing isn’t always viable.
No.
BTW No idea what the case against the lawyer involves – as I mentioned, this was just sent to me.
If the Misinformation of Disinformation is passed by this Orwellian government, such posts would be suspect immediately.
Double no, because there’s no such thing.
Every halfwit up before the beak for violent drug-and-or-pisswreckery has a lawyer that says prison time would be difficult because of ‘medical issues’, which is code for withdrawals from ice or heroin. They are all ignored because there are medical facilities in every single prison or remand centre in the country.
Most of the bigger prisons have entire medical wards, some of which are in actual hospitals. Exhibit A: St.Augustine’s ward at St.Vincent’s in Melbourne.
Nobody, and I mean nobody gets either a let off, or let out of prison because of medical conditions. Exhibit B: Milat.
To summarise: No such thing.

Dot signaled:
By “3.74 mn” you mean A$3.75 million, yes?
Well anyone who could afford a $3.75M house in 1996 was a multimillionaire.
So the right comparison is the CAGR of the kind of job who could afford that price of house…. or better, the CAGR of the income of the actual person who bought the actual house in Paddington.
Perhaps the other reason such apparent discrepancies between average wage and average home price is not sustainable is because it doesn’t need to be; many people who are in the top 20% of incomes are not in that class 10 years later. Then somebody else comes along who thinks they can pay off the house at the even higher price, and the cycle of the imaginary carrot begins again. It would only need to be sustainable if you expected every purchaser of multi million dollar homes to actually pay it off and own it. The average wage growth would be more closely mirrored by median house price, not the highest price in the market, and less so by one particular property’s value.

I met Dr John Wilson over 20 years ago. He is a fruitcake.
euthanizing unhappy 14-year-olds
Not a bad idea, judging by memories of my loins’ fruit between the ages of 12 and 17.
He wasn’t unhappy, though, just his parents adter being deafened by slamming doors, obscene outbursts and brushes with the law.
That makes them no better than the second oldest, they diverged from an earlier “living culture”.
Progressives tried ‘let’s have sex with children!’ in the sixties and seventies*.
Parents said no.
Check with munty on this first.
We have reached a new level of insanity.
I have not watched or heard a word of Nein’s cut-price Ashes coverage because I have been listening to the radio coverage of the Ashes Australian and NZ commercial radio rights holder SEN.
It is the most entertaining radio programming I have heard this year – not just in sport – with its mix of Australian, Kiwi, Pommy and Indian commentators.
But most interest for me is the de facto leader of the commentary team, sports journalism veteran Adam White, who has worked everywhere from Fox Sports and the ABC to his most recent position as the star of the breakfast program at the horse racing industry’s Victorian station, RSN in Melbourne.
White tearfully resigned from RSN last November, saying his media work had been a selfish indulgence that had not been fair on his wife Emma and their two small children, so it was his turn to be a house dad and let Emma pursue her own career.
White is not only a very witty media performer; he’s also a cricket tragic who lately has been calling Sheffield Shield in his spare time for Cricket Australia.
And so here he is living the cricket tragic’s dream of calling the Ashes series from the home of cricket, Lords in London.
White and the SEN coverage have been brilliant. SEN has radio stations in every Australian and NZ capital capital, which are all carrying the Ashes coverage. I’ll be listening tonight for the enthralling fifth day of the Lords test.
It beats the hell out of Nein’s offering, which has all the hallmarks of a cash-strapped TV network trying to save money on its cricket coverage to save its dollars for its only sports money spinner, rugby league.
The new evidence suggests that there were as many as 80 suspicious killings by three out of the four SAS squadrons between 2010 and 2013.
Sounds like they knew how to conduct themselves in a tribal Islamic hell hole.
From 1996 to 2023, that 3.75 mn terrace house in Paddington appreciated 7.16% a year, CAGR.
Except for the dire shortage of rental properties stories like this Paddington one wouldn’t make the news .. there is nothing exceptional about a property that hasn’t been on the market in decades being worth afew bob nowadayz ..
Friend of mine bought in Neutral Bay, down by the Harbour end, 4 bedrooms, $11 500 in 1970 .. last offer he had was $2.5 mill last year .. these prices happen all the time around the lower North Shore suburbs ..
I’m old enuf to remember when (during the Saturday morning wrestlingextravaganza on TV) the ads were bombarding us with 5 acres house/land packages at Blacktown for $7 500
“Progressives tried ‘let’s have sex with children!’ in the sixties and seventies*.
Parents said no.
They’ll continue to say no.
*those that thought they had a green light are still being identified and prosecuted.”
True, but I would argue that the family unit and religious organisations were much stronger in the sixties and seventies, and they provided a much bigger and better force field.
Nowadays, everything is cracked and broken, and the activists are much, much more sly. They’ll use legislation, like lowering the age of consent, until it’s very low, they’ll use intimidation, they’ll use violence. Also, progressives have hold of almost all our institutions, from media to academia, to politics, to entertainment. And we’re already seeing the use of the phrase “minor attracted persons” rather than the word “pedophiles” to describe perverts.
Some prominent LGBTQI activists don’t believe in any age of consent. Queer theory is very explicit about how minors, even babies, can consent sexually.
Anyway, I knew much of this would happen, which is why I voted NO in 2017. SSM was the Trojan Horse. I knew it at the time and I have been proven right.
yeah, speak up mUnty.

If Monty the eminent Catholic theologian is around, the homily at mass today mentioned that objective love in a Catholic sense is, to quote Aquinas,”to love is to will the good of the other” and of course as the gospel today tells us God comes before husband, wife or children.

The current bunch got here about 12000 bya, just before the land bridges were covered by the rising seas due to the SUVs they drove around. They came from Sri Lanka, kicked the previous mob down to Tassie, finished off the Mega Fauna, burnt the place down and were having continual fights with each other when Cook floated into Sydney. This is all trite but the BS about how noble they were and were here forever is just part of the commie plot.
I think you’ll need to define ‘good’, rosie.
Got a call from parents retirement village.Your dad 96 had a fall.

Doing that would leave a bigger demographic gap than WWI.

Foreign-owned Rio Tinto seeks to change Australia’s constitution and gives $2 million (tax deductible) to the inVoice campaign. Company policy states “we respect every countries political process and do not get involved in political matters”. Liars and hypocrites.

“Trying something different” does not equal an actual risk assessed plan.
Especially when the foreseeable effects of that ‘something different’ are so massively destructive and no definitively positive effects on nation as a whole can be detected.
It’s a ridiculous risk with no apparent national gain.
