I have considered that one of the reasons wokeness was so entrenched in corporations was that the bulk of their shareholders were other corporations that were beholden to the same retarded dogma.
But is seems there are a lot of companies dumping their DEI and ESG officers because although they and their shareholders were of one sick mind, their customers are not – and they are finally asserting themselves.
So, as businesses ‘streamline their offices’ and ditch the wokies it will become possible for them to sue other companies still cleaving to the moronic ideas because it is at the expense of returns.
That is the mechanism I foresee.
The streaming companies have their own Armageddon heading their way which will cause them to pull back on creating their own flawed content which no longer has a captive audience in these post-Covid days. They will need to look at older, superior content to stay in the game.
I hope.

Robodebt Royal Commission Report and the very first Recommendation on page 19 –
Now this Recommendation should never be need to be made as it should be fundamental to ALL Good Government –
Recommendation: Design policies and processes with emphasis on the people they are meant to serve.
Unfortunately, Australia keeps getting Bad Governments that seem to be getting worse and worse and in fact WORSER.
Had an interesting discussion with the Dublin walking tour guide yesterday re the incessant theme of “sovereignty”.
He had a degree in Literature and Drama, and his main gig was acting for a government theatre company. They paid him so little he eked out a living by doing the tour guide stuff too. Excellent speaker; lots of knowledge, and a very Irish sense of humour.
I put it to him that a lot of their history is concerned with sovereignty. Very important to them. He agreed vehemently.
So I said then why do you put your laws through a foreign organization in Brussels? He seemed a bit confused so I made it as clear as I could: if being Irish and independent is all, then why subjugate yourself to yet another overseas organisation. Have you not just swapped the English for the EU?
He said that is rarely said and he doesn’t have an answer. Maybe I have stirred up the next rebellion.
How embarrassing.
Perhaps the cluster bombs will be transported to their eventual destinations by the “Utes for Ukes” vehicles.
Last night I was channel surfing and caught about two minutes of Bolta. I only stopped because he was pushing the “No” campaign. Then he started on the “Utes for Ukes” spiel. I didn’t stay long enough to find out if it was a leg-pull, or if he really meant it. Any cats here enlighten me?
Damn!
First again!
I am possessed!
This is the heart of the problem with government. It always has multiple masters and can never be focussed on one set of stakeholders.
It is answerable to all the people, however, the interest of most of the people is not served by pandering to one subset, so an easier access to welfare does not result in a commensurate benefit to people no on welfare. Adding thousands of children to NDIS cause autism, might help pay the bills for those families but leave less resources to provide for someone else.
If government sticks to creating laws and lets private enterprise deliver the services, these contradictions reduce.
Woof!

A contemporary technical description with photographs and drawings appeared in Flight, 13 February 1919, claiming that “it would seem that such construction would result in a low factor of safety, but the designer claims a safety factor of seven throughout”
Dr. William Whitney Christmas[3] (1865–1960),[4] who had no experience in aircraft design or aeronautical work, claimed to have built an aircraft of his own design in 1908 that was lost in a crash.
Proof of the most useless government in Australia:
The ACT remains the only Australian jurisdiction to not have imposed strict rules on mobile phone use in schools.

As ‘bern says, what has been said about a potential criminal trial during book negotiations could be telling, along with questions around any deleted messages.
You might wonder why anyone would leave a message trail, but it needs to be remembered that they were off to a public stoning at that point. They didn’t consider that the condemned man might start piffing a few rocks back at them.
That was the point of taping the knitting circle at Ten studios. This was never going to work against us. It was going to be Lisa’s Walkley moment, and the launching of glittering political careers for Shiraz and Britnah.
So expect to see a few incriminating “copy all” messages in discovery.

because of the immense pressure differentials….
Couple of weeks ago I was reading about the force in catastrophic failure at 4000m.
In essence, imagine a 2600 tonne solid block of concrete dropped on you from height. You don’t hear or see it coming. The only saving grace for those innocents is that the human brain cannot process the impact fast enough before death occurs about 1/2000th of a second later.
Peoples opinions please…
Work has a new HR inspired rule that everyone has to do a police clearance every year.
To prevent domestic violence/ white ribbon shit.
I have been helpful sending them the HRC opinions of this and suggesting its probably borderline illegal to make this a requirement.
Is there a point at which Wilkinson will settle? Or at least offer to settle?
Courtesy of Bruce at the Jo Nova Blog –
A few “liberty quotes”:
– “The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants”. Thomas Jefferson
– “They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety”. –Benjamin Franklin
– “No man’s life, liberty, or property is safe while the legislature is in session”. – Mark Twain, 1866
– “The true danger is when Liberty is nibbled away, for expedients”. – Edmund Burke 1899
– “Timid men prefer the calm of despotism to the tempestuous sea of Liberty”. – Thomas Jefferson
– “None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free”. – Goethe
– “Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good, will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience”. – C. S. Lewis
– “If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.” – Samuel Adams
– “If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.”
(If we are forced to resort to whispers and are fearful of the consequences of speaking the truth, we begin to lose our freedom.
– We used to argue for the right for freedom of religious expression.) – George Orwell
– “Whoever would overthrow the liberty of a nation must begin by subduing the freeness of speech.” – Benjamin Franklin
And finally, and most tellingly, from one of the greatest butchers of the 20th Century:
– “Restrictions on personal liberty, on the right of free expression, including freedom of the press; on the rights of assembly and association; and violations of the privacy of postal, telegraphic and telephonic communications; and warrants for house searchers, orders for confiscations as well as restrictions on property are also permissible beyond the legal limits otherwise prescribed.” – Adolf Hitler, from his decree for the “Protection of the People and the State” in 1933.
Oh, they already have been, but a little more would be great.
Let’s not kid ourselves, and lefties won’t say it out loud, but Lisa’s TV career has imploded like a carbon fibre submersible, and I think Poyrate Pete is also kryptonite in polite society in Sinny.
Even before the Britnah debacle came to light, it was clear he was lead in the saddlebags of the Republican movement, which is why they shunted him.
Can you simultaneously be lead and kryptonite?
Anyway, he’s managed it.
I have just been visiting my daughters in Melbourne
Neither of them heat their houses

The other lives in a two story town house where the heat just goes up to the bedrooms upstairs .
They survive using heated throw rugs
About thirty seconds after Ten return one of her legal bills stamped “Yer On Yer Own, Love.”
mole, unless there’s that working with children check, that seems a little over the top.
A lot of industries have a self reporting requirement to maintain all kinds of licences.
So it seems like there is a mechanism in place & your HR are a pack of idiots.

I expect Mrs Pirate Pete’s agent will have trouble having people take their calls.
Ms Chrysanthou said on Friday that the Department of Parliamentary Services said it had no CCTV to produce in response to a subpoena, something the defamation barrister said was concerning.
“We think there should be some explanation as to why that material hasn’t been produced,” she said.
They should approach bolta; every time he has something on about our briternee he shows the video of briternee taking off her size 10 clodhoppers, smiling like a butter churning hoyden as she frolics down the corridor after leherman as fresh cheeked as any virginal maiden just out of the convent.
Businesses don’t want to open the whole can of worms.
What happens if big wig HR likes gets pinged drink driving and does nothing.
Then mid level guys that HR doesnt like gets pinged & they say time to go.
It means that Fair Work could potentially end up trawling over the crim check records of whole businesses (if an aggrieved party raises it).
Very embarrassing.

That is why I thought his use of strain gauges was a head-scratcher.
Failure is such that the time between commencement of failure and completion is thousandths of a second, so what is the point.
So what if the strain gauges are conected to a warning device. It won’t even have time to begin the “Bing Bong! You’re dead!” message.
Strain gauges are great for measuring stresses and strains within failure parameters as a research tool on real life vehicles, or establishing the precise point of failure in bench testing.
But very “ashtray on a motorbike” if used to warn of catastrophic failure of a plastic tube with people inside.

I’m counselling anyone whithin my circle of influence to proactively get written into any employment contract a statement that the employer will never require any private information- “healthcare” status, police records, pregnancies, social media account content.
We’ve all had a taste of the appetite of the business-government nexus during the China Virus Reset.
Never forget.

Now is the time to strike, Maocolm on live TV having a frozen mallard forcibly inserted to the thunderous applause of people watching is the hope and change this country needs.
Imagine a world where superannuated flogbags were too terrified to leave their houses without disguises lest some vigilante with an Indian runner slips one up them?
That he which hath no mallard to this fight,
Let him depart; his passport shall be made,
And crowns for convoy put into his purse;
We would not duck in that man’s company
That fears his fellowship to duck with us.
This day is call’d the feast of insertion
He that outlives this day, and comes safe home,
Will quack a tip-toe when this day is nam’d,
And rouse him at the name of insertion.
He that shall live this day, and see old age,
Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours,
And say “To-morrow is insertion.”
Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars,
And say “These pecks I had on insertions day.”
Old men forget; yet all shall be forgot,
But he’ll remember, with advantages,
What feats he did that day.
Allow me to affirm you decision to use three exclamation marks.
I must however, deplore the lack of tar and feathers in this excellent plan.

No wonder there were raised judicial eyebrows regarding the ‘missing’ CCTV footage. The footage of Britnah in a not drunk state was all over the internet not so long ago. I hope probes are inserted good an hard as to where that footage (and any other) went.
Unless you have the appropriate warning systems in place.

The eyeball camera live-streamed to the Indian call centre must be astounding.
“healthcare” status, police records, pregnancies, social media account content.
Most businesses will do a crim check.
And most will see if your social media is too ripe (if your accounts are public & in your real name).
Cohenite – have you noticed how quiet Bernie has been lately?
Oh my wordy, Lordy, yes indeedy.
I once worked for a complete prat as part of an alliance between a service provider and a client (me on the service provider side).
Before one of our alliance board meetings we were shooting the breeze and the subject came up of a guy in Brissy who had recently walked in front of a train. He was under a cloud over expenses rorting.
This idiot pipes up, “Yes. If I want to get someone, I can always find something in their expenses.”
Whoa!
The barometric pressure in the room dropped about ten points.
He got a bit of feedback through the back channels from the client about not wanting their name caught up in a vendetta.
And apart from the reputational risk, as you say, there is the employment law side.
And that would turn on consistency of application of policy.
It wouldn’t be enough to show that someone had breached clause 41.4.2 of the Reimbursable Business Expenses Policy.
You would need to show you monitored it and policed it for everyone all the time.
Again, why would HR take a step into the quagmire of police records.
I’m guessing plenty of people have criminal records because they did “criminal” things during ChinaFlu.
And that would turn on consistency of application of policy.
Selective application of policies has paid off many a mortgage (post settlement).

A nice summary by the Commissioner from the Report –
“Robodebt was a crude and cruel mechanism, neither fair nor legal, and it made many people feel like criminals. In essence, people were traumatised on the off-chance they might owe money. It was a costly failure of public administration, in both human and economic terms.”

Controversial Queensland Liberal senator Gerard Rennick has been kicked off the party’s Senate ticket, in a blow to Opposition leader Peter Dutton’s authority.
In a shock result, about 270 members of the Liberal National Party Queensland state council on Friday voted to back the party’s treasurer Stuart Fraser – a director of Brisbane-based finance company Winscourt Capital and former president of the Tattersalls Club – to take Senator Rennick’s third spot on the party’s Senate ticket for the next federal election.
Firstly, I note that Sarah Hanson Dung or Mehreen Faruqi are never described as “controversial”.
Secondly, Rennick should walk from the Liberals and join One Nation, something he should have done a long time ago.
Should “Bing Bongs!” make a return?
Bing Bong.
Yes.

https://www.city-journal.org/article/lockdowns-the-self-inflicted-disaster
“Most likely lockdowns represent the biggest policy mistake in modern times,” says Lars Jonung of Lund University in Sweden, a coauthor of one of the new reports. He and two fellow economists, Steve Hanke from Johns Hopkins University and Jonas Herby of the Center for Political Studies in Copenhagen, sifted through nearly 20,000 studies for their book, Did Lockdowns Work?, published in June by the Institute for Economic Affairs (IEA) in London. After combining results from the most rigorous studies analyzing fatality rates and the stringency of lockdowns in various states and nations, they estimate that the average lockdown in the United States and Europe during the spring of 2020 reduced Covid mortality by just 3.2 percent. That translates to some 4,000 avoided deaths in the United States—a negligible result compared with the toll from the ordinary flu, which annually kills nearly 40,000 Americans.
LOL.
Russia emplaced explosives on top of at least two of the reactor buildings. They were sprung by commercial sat pics. Then they said they were fake explosives not real ones. Guffaw. The idea was that the charges would be let off and then they’d claim the Ukies shelled the facility.
So choose your fake flag, there’re a lot of them flying around right now. I believe neither side. But if the Russians were for real on this particular issue they would announce a neutral zone around the plant and would get the IAEA in to run it. The Ukies would be forced to respect it due to MSM pressure. They aren’t doing that, which to my mind is a tell.
Oh.
You mean “Andrew O’Keefe Accreditation”?
Again, I ask.
Why would an employer jump into that area?
I mean, what if they find an employee has an AVO which prohibits him/her/xe going near his ex?
What are they going to do?
Fire him?
The courts have issued a control order which has nafink to do with his/her/xe’s employment.
OK. So they fire him/her/xe. Which posdibly reduces his/her/xe’s income and reduces child support flowing to the kids.
Stay the fck out of it.

Morrison says Robodebt findings ‘unsubstantiated’
Rhiannon Down
Scott Morrison says he wishes to “express regret for the unintended consequences” of the Robodebt scheme, acknowledging that the Royal Commission made findings into his conduct as Social Services Minister.
“I reject completely each of the findings which are critical of my involvement in authorising the scheme and are adverse to me,” he said.
“They are wrong, unsubstantiated and contradicted by clear documentary evidence presented to the Commission.
“It is unfortunate that these findings fail to acknowledge the proper functioning of government and cabinet processes in the face of not only my evidence as a former Prime Minister, and cabinet minister for almost nine years, but also the evidence of other cabinet ministers.”
Mr Morrison defended his actions while in office saying that he acted in “good faith and on clear and deliberate department advice that no legislation was required to introduce the scheme and presented comprehensive evidence to support this position”.
“The findings which are adverse to me are based upon a fundamental misunderstanding of how government operates,” he said.
“The commission has suggested, contrary to decisions of the High Court and long standing practice, that a Minister cannot rely upon the advice of their own department.
“Such a proposition would make executive government completely unworkable.”
Two points…
1. I have zero sympathy for Scumbag. This is the same dickhead who rushed to put the knife into Pell and our SAS soldiers.
2. I want to also remind people that only days after the High Court verdict…7-0, Morrison and Porter couldn’t wait to release the RC findings into Pell, to further smear him.
From my Ministerial Media Advisor’s perspective, this is emblematic of the immensely stupid engineering that went into the Titan.
Carbon fibre itself is something of a super material, for sure, incredibly strong and stiff. But when it’s mixed with resin to form a structure, the ‘average’ properties of the composite material are something quite different – and the mechanism of failure (at 6000psi) is way more complex than it would be for a single material and heavily driven by tiny variations in manufacture and the bonding between fibre and resin matrix.
In practical terms you could never know where the point of failure would start and measurement of the deflection of the composite mass at random points would give you no guidance at all.
Add to that the extreme local stresses set up around the interface between the cf tube and the titanium end caps – and, bazingo, you’ve strayed out of the world of engineering design and into the realm of Faith.
(Sorry if this has already been canvassed.)

I think you will find, if all the people who identify as ATSI on the census were added up, the sorry people on community would be well in the minority. But it is not in the Aboriginal Industry’s best interests in highlighting this, that the majority of people who identfy as aboriginal are doing well. Rather it is on their interest to keep people living in despair and repugnant conditions because their plight ensures the gravy train keeps running.
Bing Bong!
Your message has been received and is under consideration.

The gender surgery program at Oregon Health & Science University, a public teaching hospital in downtown Portland, provides a productive tableau for analysis. The program is led by Blair Peters, a self-described “queer surgeon” who sports neon-pink hair, uses “he/they” pronouns, and specializes in vaginoplasty (the creation of an artificial vagina), phalloplasty (the creation of an artificial penis), and “non-binary” surgeries, which nullify the genitals altogether. Peters and his colleagues have pioneered the use of a vaginoplasty robot, which helps efficiently castrate male patients and turn their flesh into a “neo-vagina.”

Controversial Queensland Liberal senator Gerard Rennick has been kicked off the party’s Senate ticket, in a blow to Opposition leader Peter Dutton’s authority.
Rennick is a smart, true conservative. The libs are a party of shit stains with only Antic, Chandler and maybe one or 2 left.
Faustus, the other potential issue was if the container survived but lost comms and was bobbing around in the ocean with no way of egress, because they had a bolt on hatch fixed from the outside.
This guy had a background in aerospace.
One of the key developments in aircraft design in the 60’s was the plug door, after a few popped off pressurised aircraft.
The elegance of it’s design is the relative ease of removal in an equalised pressure environment (ie on the ground), but the greater the pressure differential (ie at altitude), the tighter the seal.
It is even easier to design in the submarine environment because the pressure is reversed (higher external pressure).
OK, ultimately the hatch wasn’t the problem, but it is an indicator of shoddy design, with no redundancy or fail-safe mechanisms.
In a shock result, about 270 members of the Liberal National Party Queensland state council on Friday voted to back the party’s treasurer Stuart Fraser – a director of Brisbane-based finance company Winscourt Capital and former president of the Tattersalls Club – to take Senator Rennick’s third spot on the party’s Senate ticket for the next federal election
Rennick is a National Party Senator.
It’s their turn to take #1 & #3 spots on the Senate Ticket and the NP preferred someone else to Rennick.
How is that a blow to Dutton’s authority in Queensland?
And yet they let pervert scumbags in drag get their rocks off near children …
“vaginoplasty (the creation of an artificial vagina), phalloplasty (the creation of an artificial penis),”
No amount of creepy Frankenstein surgery will ever create a real functioning vagina, like the vagina I have and other women here have, and no amount of surgery will ever create a real functioning penis, like the men here have.
“Rennick is a smart, true conservative. The libs are a party of shit stains with only Antic, Chandler and maybe one or 2 left.”
Yep.
No amount of creepy Frankenstein surgery will ever create a real functioning vagina
The artificial vagina (the inside out penis) is an infection riddled petri dish.
Don’t mess with nature.
a real functioning penis, like the men here have.
Benefit of the doubt goes to Sad Case on this one.
Why do it? I’d find someone else who wasn’t insane.
From the Hun.
The State Council meeting that pitched Rennick into the Senate was a Branch Stack.
Once bitten, twice shy, the LNP isn’t closing the doors over this one, Labor Party shills.
Benefit of the doubt goes to Sad Case on this one.
But not monty, who is bereft of penis.
Mengele is back.
Why do it? I’d find someone else who wasn’t insane.
Because they are a great doc.
But I will raise the website when I see them.
Looks like there are about 8 doctors at the new practice.
That’s a good reason. Maybe they’re all too busy being medics, and they’ve left the organisation to some inadequately supervised nongs. Very likely females. I’ve noticed that the female quacks are frequently poorly informed and more prone to soak up the zeitgeist uncritically than the males. On the other hand they’re very conscientious.
Mmm.
Quite some years ago, and possibly just prior to marrying the ex-Mrs KD, she was a hostie. As a hostie, it is apparently mandatory to have one or more male friends who are as gay as multicoloured Christmas jumpers.
I met one of the aforementioned homos at a function once. A Liberace-style faaaaabulous chap, he tried to hug me which didn’t end well.
Anyway, during a later umprompted discussion she mentioned that his fellow was going to SE Asia for a willy enlargement procedure, as apparently the original equipment wasn’t getting the job done.
This procedure was said to involve the installation of what was described as ‘scaffolding’.
About three months later, I was involuntarily subject to one of those ‘You’ll never guess what happened!’ stories on her return from work. Apparently the ‘scaffolding’ had collapsed, possibly in the manner of an OceanGate submersible, and with all manner of untidy results. I then expressed a number of hilarious suggestions relating to this bloke and his rebuilt doodle.
Strangely enough, I never heard one word about the gay bloke and his cock surgery ever again.
Where I’m going with this is – whenever I hear stories about doctors creating fake penii, I am reminded of that gay bloke with a now non-functional wanger.
It’s funny stuff.
Further to Neflix, I can recommend a good Italian programme. It’s a documentary on the last King of Italy’s son, the crown prince, who shot a teenager dead back in 1978 in Corsica. The documentary looks at how the teenager’s family struggled for decades to get any justice. The Italian royal family were dethroned in 1946 and no male Savoy heir was allowed to return to Italy until 2001. The Crown Prince was a friend of the late Shah and was always involved in dodgy dealings and businesses. Anyway, I can recommend it. There’s so much crap on Netflix, sometimes I struggle to find anything to watch.
I also recommend Rough Diamonds.

If having some sort of criminal offence on your record prevents anyone from working on mine sites I would guess about half of the workforce would be gone by the end of the day.
People working in close proximity to, or with access to processed gold or other precious metals are usually carefully vetted, but no sane management cares if Joe Bogan on the air leg or Stumpy the shot firer’s offsider once got drunk and smashed a pot plant in the beer garden.

Vicki and Helen, there is a good article by Michal Baume in this week’s Speccie which arrived this morning. He quotes some good figures on how many of the identifying aborigines are urban and how many are in remote communities. The urban and regional ‘reveal an overwhelming bias’. Those in remote communities now make up less than one fifth of the 813,000 indigenous. In remote areas the gap hasn’t closed much at all, the figures come from the huge increasing in identifying abs who are doing well in cities and regions. 50 years, he says, since the remotes were in the majority.
He notes that as the urban and regional mainly marry into the white population there are going to be a lot of what he calls neo-aboriginal people around with only marginal traces of aboriginal genes. That’s likely the case anyway for the neo’s.
I like the term neo-aboriginal. We should use it more.
Believe it.
We just had to do a ‘verification of competence’ wherein Senior guys with 35+ years in the mines had to do a written test and be checked for competent driving by an instructor.
Pay that one, LizzieB. The likes of those claiming “Aboriginal” status, on the basis of an Aboriginal great great grandfather, or great grandmother would certainly qualify.
Cats, please set me right.
I’m sure Australia have never had a deputy prime minister whose job was to be a cackling buffoon like American vice-president Kamala Harris.
Then again, Australia has been spared the institutional cheating of the 2020 US presidential election, which turned America’s political leadership into the fake front for the faceless Marxists who are really running the White House and the US government.
To my recollection, the last buffoon who ran Australia was Billy McMahon at the end of the Menzies SFL administration in the 1960s and early 1970s. Even the Lying Slapper in the 2000s was a hard-core communist and could never ben classed a token buffoon like Kamala Harris.
Proposed test for aboriginality:
At least one full blood grandparent;
Fully initiated;
Lives a life at least resembling traditional life, away from a major city (population >100,000).
I’m sure Australia have never had a deputy prime minister whose job was to be a cackling buffoon like American vice-president Kamala Harris.
Wrong again.
Lance Barnard was a buffoon, Albanese is a buffoon, Brian Howe was a buffoon, and if you ever get to be Deputy P.M., …
If you’re Aboriginal/European, yeah, you’re an Aborigine, since the Aborigines are a European Race originally.

Crotchless was deviating into sense early in the evening but the twilighting has kicked in.
Today at the IPA in the CBD.
The ferry trip in at 9am on a sunshiny and bright crystal-air harbour morning was a treat. I should get up and do this more often. A ten minute stroll from our place. On
the fast private ferry $9 with a good 20 people on board it took 12 minutes at speed direct from Watson’s Bay to Circular Quay. The govt ferry kicks in later, after 10 and ends at 4, stops at Rose Bay, and takes 22 minutes. Then I took the city circle on stop up to Wynyard right near Martin Place; this event was in the new hotel in the old GPO. I stopped for a coffee in the huge atrium area as I was earlier than I thought I’d be, then at 10 sharp went up to hear Peter Dutton. Be on time, all the info had shrieked, but in fact there was coffee with scones and cream available till 10.30, when the good man arrived. So I chatted around and about for a while, always interesting to meet people at these events.
Peter Dutton is an impressively tall and bulky man, looks like the ex cop he is. Everyone enthusiastically welcomed Warren Mundine to the gathering in the intro from Daniel at the IPA and Dutton announced he’d concentrate his speech on energy. He began a long and extremely thorough exegesis on exactly what sort of energy strife we were in and why we needed to go nuclear yesterday at the latest. We were ‘missing the train’ carrying all of those other countries seeking Small Nuclear and Micro Nuclear installations (he explained the difference) from the key manufacturers in world, some of which he named. He also gave a run down on how many countries, and especially the big economies, were turning nuclear now, and it was a very impressive account of the state of nuclear play. We are rank outsiders in the nuclear stakes and it won’t get any better unless we act soon: this means Albanese and Bowen (groans), and he laughed.
I was hugely impressed by Dutton’s ability to speak without notes and without stumbles and pleased to report that he is a much warmer and more likable personality in person than he appears on TV grabs. He needs TV media training, for he comes across as wooden in any TV I’ve seen, which he is not when in friendly company as at this gathering. He joked a bit and smiled as well, which he doesn’t manage on TV. He speaks with a passion and yet remains measured. Overall I think he’s one to go with, which I’d had some doubts about before.
Whether he can bring the Libs around though is another matter, given the wets and fools in there right now. He’s fully in the nuclear basket, having an eye on how people will still vote on ’emissions’ and this is the only firming power that is good like that. I’d go myself for some quick HELE coal-fired power stations, but that just doesn’t get a look in, no mention and no ability to ask about that.
The questions at the end took five areas where the audience had asked questions – broadly around the Voice, Economy, Energy, Cost of Living and Freedom of Speech, all with only one representative question as the intro. My name (not the one youse all know) and my direct question got up (yay!) leading into the coverage of the ACME legislation. He agreed he wouldn’t like to be monitored by Dreyfus (to laughter) but he was still a little evasive on that topic, shunting it to his minister, and also saying there was a case for some oversight but not what was proposed. Somebody should send him that list above of ‘freedom’ calls from great thinkers of the past. I sat next to a guy who was fiddling with a load of pamphlets, very interesting, authorized by the Liberal Party, Canberra, and a crashingly good account of why not to vote YES for the voice. He was letterboxing them around his local area. It leads with Important Information about THE VOICE, and in red RISKY UNKNOWN PERMANENT. Good info inside and on the back statements from Constitutional lawyers and other bigwigs about the inherent problems.
If they’ve got spares that’s something we all could do. I took a handful of his for a start to put in some letterboxes of Allegra voters in Wentworth where I live.
Hairy said to me why did I want to go when it would be like attending a Liberal Party Branch Meeting, but I said there are worse things in life, and in the event it turned out to draw on a wider group, as IPA functions do. He just didn’t want to get up early.
I will hand him some letterbox drops to do instead in penance.
I had a really good chat with Sophie York too, re Australian Conservatives days.

Cummins gets Rooty 2nd ball, caught Davey.

My question about the problems with Donald Trump Jnr’s visa fell through to the floor though. This issue wasn’t covered at all, possibly a bit too specific anyway.
On the way up George Street I stopped to give my change (don’t have much in coins these days) to a man with a cardboard sign. His story was honest enough, no sad life tale (though I always give anyone begging the benefit of the doubt there); his sign simply said he needed help to feed his family. He looked like an ordinary sort of bloke, not a derro at all. As I opened my purse he saw all of the expensive bling on my fingers and said I like your rings. Thank you, I said, that’s kind of you, for it was. Clearly I had money and he didn’t. I gave him three bucks in gold coin and some silver. He said I was a beautiful princess, so I think that was fair exchange. Of a sort anyway. I hope he makes a lot of money sitting there.
Hairy wouldn’t think so though. But how would he know the man’s story, what happened that drove him to do this? I know too some do it for a living. But I think these days some people are just a bit desperate and think to give this a go for a while, maybe between jobs or in some sort of crisis. He seemed rather like that.

Dr Vernon Coleman MB ChB DSc:
Something called the Independent Commission for Equity in Cricket (commissioned by the England and Wales Cricket Board in a mood of self-flagellation) has caused a storm (and a good many headlines) by complaining that racism, sexism, classism and elitism are widespread in the game of cricket.
I’ve been following cricket all my life. I have spent a huge chunk of my life on cricket grounds. I’ve spoken to many cricketers. And I’ve been inside professional dressing rooms as a doctor. I’ve written four books on cricket (including The Village Cricket Tour and Thomas Winsden’s Cricketing Almanack) and I’ve written articles for specialist cricket magazines. So, here is the Vernon Coleman Report on the ICEC Report; a report which I suspect I could have written two years ago when they started.
And I believe the ICEC report will do far more harm than good.
But I wasn’t in the slightest surprised by its conclusions. The death of cricket has been on the cards for some time. After all, some of those involved with the dangerously fascist Great Reset, the climate change myth and the absurd re-wilding nonsense want to stop all sport because it takes up too much space and involves travel.
To me the ECB’s report stinks of woke gibberish.
Equity in cricket, for heaven’s sake. That’s a real ESG word.
The woman who was chairman of the committee is described as having experience in ‘governance, inclusion and equity’.
What a surprise.
A woman described as a senior independent director of the ECB said: ‘Promoting equity, diversity and inclusion across the game is critical to the success of our game-wide strategy Inspiring Generations and our purpose of connecting communities through cricket.’
Rishi Sunak, a well-known war criminal, took time off from sending depleted uranium shells to Ukraine to get in touch with the ECB. He wants cricket to be inclusive and open to everybody. I actually rather thought it was. Even blind people play cricket.
I think they’ve all missed the point. (If I’m allowed to have a view on this – which I rather fear may not be the case these days.)
Cricket isn’t a social programme or an experiment in human resources.
Cricket is a game. Or I thought it was.
If people want to play they play. If they want to watch they watch. If people from some areas of society aren’t interested then that’s fine. There are plenty of other games they can play. Cricket doesn’t exist to change society and lead us into the Great Reset.
The report makes it look as if cricket had huge problems.
I don’t believe it does.
At least, I don’t think it did.
I think this report could create some very big problems and it is my belief it could do more harm than good.
They won’t agree with me, of course, but I fear this report will exacerbate suspicions, paranoia, resentment and entitlement and actually create racism.
If you look at tennis, rugby, football, gymnastics, chess, dominoes or synchronised swimming through the same distorting spectacles you could claim they all have problems. There are far more black players in top level professional football than makes statistical sense. How many black tennis players are there in local tennis clubs? How many Muslim women are there involved in synchronised swimming? Enough? Not enough? Too many? Who decides?
The report says that there must be a `fundamental overhaul of the women’s pay structure in order to achieve parity with the men’s game’.
I’m terribly sorry, (and this really isn’t a sexist comment, it’s a realistic comment) but that is like saying that the members of the chorus in an opera should be paid the same as the lead tenor and soprano.
Look at the stands when women are playing. There are huge empty spaces.
If women are to be paid the same as men then the men will have to take a huge pay cut. There certainly isn’t enough money in the sport to pay women the same as the men currently receive.
The report says that Black cricket has not been adequately supported.
Black cricket?
I thought teams had black and white players together. Gordon Greenidge and Barry Richards were probably the greatest opening partnership in history. One was black and one was white.
Are we now going to have black teams and white teams?
The report says that ‘cricket need to have a clear set of values’.
No it doesn’t need a set of artificially created values.
Cricket needs some laws. Which it has. And it needs players to play the game fairly and honourably. Which they mostly do. That’s where the phrase `it’s not cricket’ came from.
What on earth do they mean anyway?
The 317-page report says that costs are prohibitive.
Really?
Have they looked at the costs of getting started in motor racing or horse jumping? Or skiing? Or yachting?
Do they want taxpayers to provide every child with a free bat and ball?
Kids who want to play cricket need an old tennis ball, a piece of wood and a lamp-post on which to chalk the wickets. And someone to play with.
And look at this quote from Ben Stokes, the England cricket captain, made after the absurd and damaging report was made public: ‘I am Ben Stokes, born in New Zealand, a state-educated pupil who dropped out of school at 16 with one GCSE in PE. I needed help with the spelling and grammar in this speech and I am sitting here as the England men’s Test captain.’
Elitism?
Where is the elitism?
The truth about cricket is that most of the people who play it and watch it are rather decent. They don’t play or watch to change society. They play or watch because it’s fun. They enjoy it. And the last thing most people think about is skin colour.
It isn’t the fault of cricket that the money grubbers sold the TV rights to a satellite TV company – thereby ensuring that kids don’t watch it and aren’t interested in playing.
It isn’t the fault of cricket that local authority schools don’t play much cricket. That’s because local councils sold off the playing fields to developers.
There’s sexism, racism and old-fashioned snobbery in all corners of life.
But cricket isn’t any worse than anywhere else though I admit there isn’t a Test series for transgender cricketers and there obviously should be.
And let us remember that half a century ago, South Africa was exiled from international cricket because the South Africans wouldn’t accept Basil d’Olivera as a Test team tourist. Cricket led the way in this fight, at considerable cost. And it was white, middle aged men who were largely responsible for fighting apartheid.
This accusatory and adversarial report commissioned by the ECB seems to me to be full of modern `Great Reset’ language: intersectionality’ and cisgender make an appearance, of course.
The report apparently criticises the fact that some who watch cricket don’t like drums being played all day long. Well if I watch cricket I rather like it to be a peaceful activity. Is that now a race crime? Drums and impromptu bands and noisy behaviour should be banned. May I say that, please?
And the report criticises the huge number of cricket followers who dislike the Hundred – which is a daft form of biff bat cricket rather too similar to French cricket for my tastes. I want the Hundred (which is, I believe, destroying county cricket) to be forgotten about. Am I allowed to say that?
Are we now to be told what sort of cricket we can enjoy?
Oh, and the report talks about `Type K’ individuals.
‘Type K’ people are, apparently ‘white men, educated in private schools, who are straight and cisgender and do not have a disability’.
They obviously all need shooting for daring to be white, educated privately, straight, cisgender (whatever the hell that is) and untroubled by any visible disability.
I would like to think that this utterly awful report will go straight into the bin. And the ECB which commissioned the report should also go in the bin.
But they won’t.
I fear that ‘action’ will be taken and the death of cricket will get ever closer.
Cricket has been painfully woke for some years now. The annual Wisden seems to have become woke. And I think the MCC is pretty woke too.
And things are now going to get much worse.
Meanwhile, no one is much interested in the real racism in Britain.
In my view the group most affected by racial discrimination in Britain are not black or Asian. They are white men.
Just take a look at the RAF.
The RAF head recently admitted that the RAF has discriminated against white men.
In other words the white men had suffered because they had white skin.
Isn’t that racism?
Or is it only racism if non-white people are the victims?

The Robodebt scheme
The Australian system of government includes a number of checks and balances, protections against abuses of power, and mechanisms for external oversight and scrutiny. Ministers bear responsibility for their portfolios; secretaries have duties and responsibilities with respect to the departments they administer; and public servants have standards of conduct to which they must adhere, which include acting with care and diligence, integrity and, importantly, providing the government with advice that is frank and honest.
LOL. That is the theory and what we used to believe in. Not any more though.
How, then, in such a system, did it come to pass that the government implemented, and continued an unlawful scheme that has been described as a “shameful chapter in the administration of the Commonwealth social security system” and “a massive failure of public administration”?1
Your excellent Report is explaining it very well. Great reading BTW.
Err, it’s not lost then, is it bozo.
This part of the report tells the story of Robodebt – from the frenetic, confused machinations of a pressured bureaucracy, to its ignominious end, ultimately brought about by a legal advice which, in essence, made precisely the same point as had been made in the first legal advice provided on the concept of what would become the Robodebt scheme.
The Scheme’s demise, for all of its seeming inevitability, took far longer than it should have, particularly for all of those harmed by a Scheme to which they should never have been subject to.
If the Kamala was suddenly decreed to be the President of the USA, for example, due to that foul syphilitic illegitimate geriatric dropping dead (finally) would the massively destructive idiocy emanating from the “non black House” cease?
In a word, no, it would not.
And yet, here we are. Selling wars, door to door.
SITREP 7/6/23: Zelensky Builds One Last Suicidal Thrust to Appease Masters
Simplicius The Thinker
7 July 2023
The main reasons are likely that once Russia exposed their plans to the world, Ukraine’s Western partners put internal pressure on them not to carry out the falseflag, as well as the IAEA not fully backing Kiev as much as they would have liked:
On the night of July 5, several leaders of European countries held consultations with President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky on the situation at the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant. This was reported to TASS by Renat Karchaa, adviser to the general director of the Rosenergoatom concern.
According to my information, at night there were very intensive consultations between European leaders and Zelensky, they convinced that nothing irreparable would happen
According to Karcaa, until the NATO summit in Vilnius, which will take place on July 11-12, tensions over the situation at the ZNPP will remain.
This includes new published satellite photos which showed a closeup of the ZNPP roof, where Budanov had just recently claimed that Russia installed explosive devices. Though one new before and after satellite comparison claims to show something new on the roof of the #4 reactor building:
It doesn’t mean the threat is gone for good, nor does it mean they’ll stop talking about it. That’s because one of the main reasons for the ZNPP tension is likely to create a constant wall of noise and disruption in the information field in order to hide the AFU’s own losses and failings, not dissimilar to what happened a couple weeks ago when the Biden admin appeared to prolong the Titan submersible disinformation in order to mask the ongoing Hunter scandal.
So even if they never intended to actually attack the ZNPP, we can expect the disinfo tension to continue to be used at key moments to mask spikes of failures in their ongoing ‘offensive’.
There’s always this theory, too:
Also, as a last update and correction I’d like to make: I had mentioned the cask storage of spent fuel in ZNPP last time, and how they were at risk of being struck. While it’s true for artillery and powerful missiles, one thing I forgot to mention was that Russia did erect a cage over the casks in order to prevent, at the least, drone strikes. It can be seen here with today’s visit of Sergey Kiriyenko (Russian presidential deputy) to the site:
Now, onto that offensive.

Once we’ve got a fair bit of small scale nuclear and the climate con is even more exposed we can turn to a mix with some HELE coal-fired power to really get back to normal and think carefully about not placing nuclear installations in risky areas.
At least it’s a better future than having wind and solar industrial messes spread all over our land and sea, and being dependent on China for the parts they will constantly need – they are hardly renewables in the sense of their infrastructure.
If you watched the video P put up of today’s show (thanks P) you can see that Dutton is right on top of the issues with Bowen’s nonsense and with what’s happening in other significant countries. He can sell this message and win on it, I think. And if he starts to do a fix on the woke culture he will win plenty of friends with that too. He indicated he wanted to fix what we teach our kids.

I really need to watch Wawrinka v Djokovic, but the telly is on the blink- combination of old house, winter atmosphere and digital surrender.
Had the pleasure of SBS news keeping me company- article on “Robodebt”, demonstrable human impact for which they found a bloke called Phoebe Autumn who is obese, miserable, hunched over a laptop adorned with Antifa flag and Always Was, Always Will Be stickers, sitting on a park bench for some unknown reason- he obviously doesn’t get much Park Life.
