Good to hear things are better but….apart from the plugin purge nothing much has changed on the backend. As previously hinted, I’m going to migrate the site to VPS overnight, beginning after midnight, so if things go amiss I can try and clear it up through the day tomorrow. The migration is still with the same provider so things should occur, hopefully, relatively smoothly.
Not wishing to denigrate the lady in any way, but can we please have less mention of Albanese in a ‘squeezing’ context. It’s nearly lunchtime here in sunny Meanjin.
What happens if the the VPS migration is the Cat’s Wolf 359?

Jockey Sonja Wiseman set to return to racing in Darwin just over a week after she was bashed by a group of 10-15 men (Sky News, 5 Aug)
Somehow I doubt that will happen. Weirdly there is no mention anywhere in the story about who the men were and what they look like. It’s a mystery!
The site gets backed up daily. I suppose there is a pun in there.
Beautifully instructive watching the hypersonic speed at which the WA Union thugs folded the blackfellas’ rights tent in favour of preserving their parliamentary salaries.
At least the WA lot were open about their plans and passed actual legislstion. In QLD it is done by regulation and in secret.
And in Victoria – who knows?
If Albanese wasn’t so arrogant and ignorant of the Australian people he could learn valuable lessons from the WA farce. But he wont. Dangerous social volitality is certain.
Dunno, I’m straining to see it.

Already happening, as I suspect you’ve seen already being still somewhat rurally anchored.
As I said the other week my client at Walgett says it’s already put relations back a generation and for the people pushing this that’s of no consequence.
It’s power at any cost.
The full Elvis.
The “voice” and the (recently repealed ) heritage legislation have had the same effect, here. More cynical minds then mine are already suggesting the Heritage legislation will be re-introduced, after the “Voice” referendum.
Even if you have a unit in a high rise you have to give it back as well. Give everything back and go back to the lands of your European ancestors. Only then will I believe that they mean what they say.
This same dynamic played out in the US with Target (most visibly) and others.
Target stocked up on the Pride month and tranny-clothes for kids and displayed it prominently in the children’s clothing department.
Norm use, emboldened by the success of the Bud Light Boycott, withdrew their custom and let Target know why.
Target then removed the offending line and found themselves now being attacked by the QWERTY people who not only abused the staff but phoned in bomb threats.
When you surrender even an inch to aggressive and ambitious activists who recognise no binding constraints on their behaviour and you try to take it back, they will become as angry as if you had stolen from them, rather than taken back what was always yours.
Target, by pandering to a vocal minority and dismissive of sensibilities of the norm or majority, ended up making enemies of both sides.
If they had done nothing at the outset they would have been fine.
Well said!
Normie majority.
I am sick to the back teeth with these 3 percenters attempting to lord it over 97 percenters. Enough is enough. No business or sympathy from me to any 3 percenter favouritism anywhere.

There does seem to be some sort of weird setting in WordPress controlling this, as I’ve seen it before twice now with your blog. The last two times there were workarounds, but not now for some reason.
Go figure. I’ll be back again after 2:15 pm… 😀
A State wide swing, of that magnitude – and, bear in mind, in Rockingham, even the encroaches vote Labor – would have reduced the Labor Government to a ONE SEAT majority.
even the cockroaches vote Labor…….
Funny you should say that. The first time I’d ever seen those things was getting a pipe unblocked on my brother’s property. Luckily the blockage was not on his property but the council’s (there was a park at the back of the property) so they footed the bill, but seeing that thing operate was eye-opening.
IPCC’s New Chairman Rebukes Climate Hysteria And Misleading Claims
The Global Warming Policy Foundation (GWPF) has welcomed the rebuke of exaggerated climate hype and alarm by the IPCC’s new chairman, Professor Jim Skea.
In interviews with German news media over the weekend the new head of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) said it was wrong and misleading for climate activists to imply that temperature increases of 1.5 degrees Celsius posed an existential threat to humanity. [emphasis, links added]
“The world won’t end if it warms by more than 1.5 degrees,” Skea told Deutsche Welle.
“If you constantly communicate the message that we are all doomed to extinction, then that paralyzes people and prevents them from taking the necessary steps to get a grip on climate change,” he said.
Skea’s criticism of exaggerated climate alarm comes as he predicted the world would exceed the global warming target of 1.5 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels, adding that governments around the world had failed to adopt sufficiently ambitious policies.
Dr. Benny Peiser, the GWPF’s director, welcomed the timely IPCC message:
“Jim Skea’s warnings about the detrimental impact of unjustified climate alarmism is a breath of fresh air and a welcome intervention. The new IPCC chairman seems to recognize that the political climate is changing fast.”
“As European governments have begun to pause, water down, and roll back Net Zero pledges and plans, developing nations have no intention to abandon their relentless use of coal, oil, and gas. The new IPCC chairman seems to have accepted that the 1.5C climate threshold and its Net Zero policy implications are no longer politically viable.”

Then, four hours later …
“OK. It’s done … Oh. That shouldn’t have happened.” (Delivered in a tone which tells you they really don’t know what “that” is).

From the website: Please note that Garma tickets are an inclusive price (tent accommodation, air mattress or stretcher, sleeping bag and meals). You are unable to bring your own tent or camper or provide your own food. BYO pillow.
$5,500 for a couple to live in a tent for 4 days and be fed whatever is offered. No exceptions – eat it or go hungry. Plus the cost (+ time) of transport to get to East Arnhem land.
Yeah, right. Let’s put the site in the hands of someone who loathes it — one of the Cat’s trolls. What could possibly go wrong? FMD.
BoN,
I have been experiencing the same, yesterday and today.
I am using Edge and CCleaner Pro.
For many months now I’ve not been able to view the last 5 to 12 comments at the end of each page if I miss them when they first come up. After approx 30 mins they appear. Same thing if I go back to check or to quote they will be gone for that time.
Not a complaint. I am grateful for newcatallaxy.
Looks like Special Counsel Jack Smith (investigating and charging Trump) has an even more interesting history of official misconduct than most recall.
Why is this turd still employed by the DoJ after that criminal behavior much less in a position to continue his attacks on conservatives? (Rhetorical question of course).
It’s one of the large US providers, monty. It’s more about the database growing larger than the current plan can cope with than anything else.
Have you posted anything on the Dead Cat since early April? Have there been any comments?
News for you, and it’s all bad. We’ve seen the future, under the Voice, and we wouldn’t touch the Voice with a barge pole.
How about not seeing as Aboriginal people as a separate ‘race’ in the first place?
The vast majority are of mixed race, the vast majority live in urban locations, the vast majority are indistinguishable from the rest of us in culture and appearance.
I’m sick of this sins of the fathers stuff.
And I’m wholeheartedly of the opinion that this ‘pay the rent’ by stealth that only benefits a select few Aboriginals has to be submitted to public gaze.
How is income and expenditure in Aboriginal corporations accounted for? I suspect they benefit a favoured few families and nobody else gets a look it.
I know a bloke, wot knows a bloke, who got the job of auditing the accounts of one of those corporations. You are quite correct.
That’s the nicest thing you’ve said in a decade Darth Monty!
Maybe there’s some hope for you.
Okay…no.
Hey! They can’t become castled landlords imposing inequality on serfs, that’s cultural appropriation of Europeans!

Dover, is it really necessary to keep many years’ worth of data available on the server?
I think a month would be plenty and keep the rest on your own hard drive, maybe provide a personal server access to the desperate.
Other than a couple here to prove an esoteric point, I haven seen anyone searching for ancient comments, besides, it would still be available if a little less convenient.

Third time lucky. How many open threads are there.
(Dover, if you like, remove the other two similar comments on the old thread as I messed up with my response to the Turtlehead.)
I can’t nominate you, turtlehead as I don’t have that level of authority (yet). You ought to be a shoe in though.
I was responding to your silly comment suggesting there’s a direct link between the “money supply” and inflation. It’s not as easy as that, Hoolihan.
This part here:
You’re such a dishonest idiot. You highlight the very part of your comment that I didn’t reply to.
Not this:
There’s no casual linkage with money supply growth and inflation – at least in western countries. It’s far more complex than that, you idiot. For instance, the Fed adopted money supply targeting against M2 growth in the 80s and abandoned it after it didn’t work. There’s all sorts of reasons prices move. Demand and supply shocks, wage stickiness symmetrically focused to the upside , velocity, market perceptions.
Lastly, do you realize the Fed along with other major central banks are undertaking quantitive tightening at the moment, progressively removing the add that was done during the GFC? You genius.
Just remain silent on these matters and stick to guarding those iodine supplies for when they are needed in the next rural Queensland nuclear holocaust.
Dover – check your email, Squire.
Collectivism runs deep. The poor sods simply cannot treat others as individuals, they have to identify the others group membership and then treat everyone in that group as identical. It’s some kind of intellectual handicap.

If Biden doesn’t fall over dead by then I wouldn’t put it past the Dems running him again.
But, I expect to see the regulars (Warren, Buttigieg, Klobuchar) to give it a shot as well as some other lesser known Dem govs and mayors (Pritzker, Cooper, Raimondo, Whitmer, Murphy, Landrieu) and of course the perennial looser candidate of colour Stacey Abrams.
I see RFK Jr as a 3rd party guy right now and I hope he does try it.

JC, as we now know, a barely ambulant corpse is sufficient. 81 million votes.

WA pollymuppets are claiming there has been no pressure from Albo’s mob to water down or repeal the ludicrous aboriginal heritage laws.
Utter bulldust. I reckon the phone lines would have been in meltdown ever since the first stories of outrageous fees for “cultural inspections” by the grifters were made public.
WA residents were the first to see just what chaos and theft a “Yes” vote in the voice referendum would produce.
Albo’s spit would have been streaming down the wall at Cook and his apparatchiks over the timing.

Energy Generation Quiz for Dummies
Which energy Option would you choose to provide Australia’s long term Energy future?
Option A – Unreliable, Unaffordable, Environmentally Destructive, National Security Vulnerability
• Wind turbines (foreign owned)
• PV solar panels (foreign owned)
• Lithium-ion batteries (foreign owned)
• Tenuous supply chain
• Require thousands of kilometres of new grid transmission infrastructure to connect the patchwork quilt of wind & solar generators.
• Short operational life
• Highly vulnerable to cyber attack
• Vast quantities of none re-cyclable waste at EOL (End Of Life)
• Subsidised by taxpayers.
Option B – Highly Reliable, Affordable, Environmentally Friendly, Enhances National Security
• Small modular reactors (progressively being licenced in the US & Canada).
• Ultra Super Critical coal fired power stations.
• High Energy Low Emissions coal fired power stations.
• Gas turbines
• Use existing grid transmission infrastructure.
• Long operational life
• Reliable supply chain
• Protection against cyber attack
• Minimal waste at EOL
• Not subsidised by taxpayers
Question 1 Which Option is the better long-term option for Australia?
Question 2 Which Option should our politicians be supporting?
This is a self-marking quiz.
And bear in mind, Energy Security = National Security

This misuse of the equals sign must not go uncorrected.

It is more correct to say that if you have national security you must have already got energy security. National security implies energy security.

Razey, I hate to break it to you but that’s actually a quote for me. I won’t hold it against you!
Driller and Angry Karen on date night. Driller’s wearing that spanking new uniform he adores.
The American political establishment JC- poisonous trash.
Obscene is an overused word but obscene is what that picture is. And evil.
Thanks Tom for the re-direction to the Pythons.
Scott of the Sahara! Old times, good times. Incredibly stupid times.
But not as stupid as now.
The American left is 100%. It’s probably about 10% on the Right, milt.
Indigenous knowledge system used by nobody, not even the occupants of remote communities. If they did why else would they need someone else to build their homes using the white man’s knowledge?
I believe the Aztec knowledge system was swapped for the conquistadors’ version at the first opportunity, particularly by the potential victims of the Aztec human sacrifice practice.
Bronny and Michaelea Cash give stereotypes of Lieboral women a bad name.
Agree JC but that filth pretty much controls the US federal gubmint. The RINOs don’t seem to mind either.
Shills for VO5. Representatives of Big Hair.
Do Not Trust.
You’re right Bear
Fifield is another one I deeply lath after his comments about male soldiers.

JC,
Thankyou for the nomination of the Nobel Prize.
Now answer the question which is inherent in my post – why don’t our leaders enact the same policies of deregulation, remove the obstacles that are distorting our economies, and pay their bills and stop spending on getting themselves re-elected?
Who is “Karen Blix”?

Guiseppe the Pursuer:
Guiseppe the Harasser, Haranguer, Pursuer can’t get me out of his head and the reason for this is when there was/is full-on warfare, he has never been able to beat me. Not once. .Now, of course, he has an Everest sized grudge he has to haul around. He cannot handle being mocked and ends up in a simpering mess on the floor.
We already know precedent has been established so slime your way to Dover’s email account and demand I am banned or you will withhold funds. That’s you goal, isn’t it, you rapacious writhing blob of excrement!

Everyone here should be actively contributing to the NO campaign, as discussed previously, see volunteerforno.com.au.
Went for a couple of drinks at the pub yesterday evening, on the way to the recycling centre, bloke pulls me up to have a look at the T shirt – The Voice Isn’t the End of Negotiations – it’s the Starting Point of the Next Round of Demands – wants to take a photo. Conversation very supportive, well in line with 80% of those taking part.
This thing is going to get a caning in the country and the suburbs away from the capitols. But it’s going to pass in the wealthier suburbs where there will be enough of a margin to allow cheating at the count to matter.

Just as with the Eureka Stocade in 1854, which can be viewed as our 1848 moment, it will come several years after the northern hemisphere eruptions of popular sentiment, and will not be freighted with as much historical gravity, but it will change things here nonetheless.
About the Eureka Stockade – it was about several things, but from memory it was about over reaching pubic servants who were abusing and gaoling miners for not having miners licences.
The miners were spending days in water, getting their licences wet and the ink running, so they would leave their paperwork in the tents. Of course the wallopers would fine them for being not in possession of the licences. But the clerks wouldn’t or couldn’t issue the paperwork in a format that would remain legible.
A continuing Catch 22 situation made worse by crooked coppers.
Last night a young bloke in the pub had been booked for not having his seatbelt on – he drove out his front gate and was putting it on and the coppers were going the other way. Pulled up and fined over $1000 !
… in which voters send a very unambiguous message to the elites who take them for granted.
The penalty is way beyond ANY reasonable fine and is authoritarian and unacceptable.
What is about Barker College old boys?
I feel for him.
But:Yep. Gotta have the belt clipped into place before putting the vehicle into gear.
Gotta do this even in your own front yard, backing it out from under the house, or on a station property, driving around checking the sheep, never mind that you’re several miles from the boundary.

Colour me suspicious, but why do I think Hell will freeze over, before any unit of the A.D.F. will give any A.B.C. “journalist” the time of day?
Because ANY organisation has some disaffected career oriented members who will sell the organisation for good publicity and a better chance at promotion. For example — the ADF.
Sounds like Elbow doing the old blackmail. Vote for the voice or the black fella gets it.
However, he (Elbow) highlighted gaps in life expectancy, suicide rates, and rates of disease as reasons for holding the referendum as soon as possible.
UptickQuite soYes, I agree
+1CorrectNo danger to anyone but himself. There should be no fines for a driver not wearing a seat belt. Similar for helmets. Utterly nanny state and the thinking behind this is the main problem we have in the Woke West.
LOL
It’s like expecting to get a vegan meal at Sweeney Todd’s.
NSW Parliament did not sit for months in 2021 and 2022 and the executive kept on pissing out executive orders that were practically unchallengeable.
No one with any sense of self-preservation ought to have “respect for the law” anymore.
How does one exist on this planet in this day and age without a sense of and ability to laugh at the absurd?
Or more importantly, the absurd masquerading as the sensible?
I miss some of my ol’ school friends (several of whom are no longer with us), who would have found these times a rich source of inspiration for their hilarious piss taking.
About time but that price tag is wheeze material – without our own nukes and long-range missiles they’re sheathed swords.
Sure you can club some rowdy PU plebs, but you’re not slaying exotic tigers with them.

Democracy, once captured by the psychopaths of the political party system, leads to the cancerous growth of a destructive sub-class of morons, f@cksticks and degenerates, with sh!ts for brains, numerous enough to derail any sensible response to a deranged, racist, divisive, f@cked-up abortion like the inVoice.
That’s the beginning, and the end, of the problem. And it can’t be ignored.
It won’t magically lose its malignant influence, or disappear.
That’s why everyone with any sense of history, logic and justice should get involved.
If this diarrhoeal travesty gets through, I’ll be able to sleep at night, knowing that I, at least, tried.

‘I do- voted for Trumble against Abbott in 2015. That’s it.”
Something she later regretted, and she has said so publicly. Look, that came on the heels of Bronwyn and the helicopter, which Abbott handled badly with the media, he allowed that furore to engulf him, he should have put the MSM in their place, but he didn’t.
Sleazy catches the government plane to a Bully Bragg concert, but that’s okay.
Who would you rather, Bronwyn Bishop, Marise Payne or Jane Hume? I choose Bronwyn.

A reprise, I know.
The ‘Truth’ is that we live in a post truth world where lying and believing in lies is perfectly acceptable and encouraged, especially amongst the wealthy overlords.

Not only the ‘wealthy overlords’. Rife amongst the pissants who think they are educated.
If this diarrhoeal travesty gets through, I’ll be able to sleep at night, knowing that I, at least, tried.
Could you be specific; there are a lot of diarrhoeal travesties going around at the moment.
Ahh yes JMH, I forget the great unwashed ‘Uni grads’ with degrees in Wimins Studies.
Programmatic specificity of diarrhoeal travesties, when you’re ready, please.
You might call it just your regular culture war shitstorm.
Gotta zip!
As opposed to the Siren enfolding him.
I’d far rather the latter. More dignified.
Kez, who the F is that?
We assumed date night meant you and Driller were dating, You look adorable in that blue dress. Bald but cute.
Appears to be the other way round, madam doxxer. We know it was you. Also, it’s fun getting you to Defcon 1 in an instant. You’re so highly strung.
Mock away, but you’re not very good at it on your lonesome. That’s why you were going after Liz all gangland style. Surprisingly it’s now disbanded. Wonder why? 🙂
What anti anxiety tablets are you taking, Kez? Frankly, if I were Dover, I’d ban you for constantly suggesting he’s on the take. What a disgusting retard you are and have always been
Writhing blob of excrement? Aren’t you taking this adjective thing a little too far, you trailer-trash heap of human junk.
Kez, you’re not exactly setting the world on fire with massive intellectual heft here, nor the previous blog. Outrageously outraged comments just go stale over a short distance, you angry old sad sack
But please stay, as I find you uncertain outrageous outrage amusing.
Sometime, when you have a spare moment in your busy schedule, you could explain to us how you get through life so angry at the world. Really, it would be interesting reading.
How’s it go again.
🙂
