Cassie, I have taken to searching out sad videos of abused doggies who then are rescued and become lovely loving dergs with a spring in their four legs and their eyes filled with love and affection. It somehow soothes the soul and repairs optimism to see them well and cared for by humans after all of their maltreatment and trials. Same for kitties too, although they are different in how they express attachment. Occasionally there are other videos of animals being cross-species attached, anything from birdies to lions, or putting on some amazing performances or simply being unbearably cute. It seems to say that as animals we all share something fundamental.

I 1994 the ANC got into power in SA and we packed up the kids and left. There was no doubt in my mind where the country was going. Family members followed us but half stayed. They were the wealthy ones who felt they had too much to lose. And their wealth is tied up in land. This includes a wine farm, and a number of game ranches as well as sugar, timber and crops. The farm buildings and with the exception of the wine farm in the Cape the other farms are in KwaZulu Natal and have heavy security around the buildings. We were over there last year and there is no way I could live under that continuous stress. It’s just so dangerous. All of these family members would have been able to get into Oz based on the points system when we left. Yet they still stay!
From the Daily Telegraph……..
Outgoing DPP Shane Drumgold defends his record as Lehrmann lawyer claims he was a “social justice crusader”
Angira Bharadwaj & James Morrow & Ellen Ransley
Bruce Lehrmann’s lawyer labels prosecutor Shane Drumgold a “social justice crusader” who lost his objectivity as the ACT DPP announces he is standing down in the wake of a damning report into his handling of the Brittany Higgins rape trial.
The ACT‘s embattled Director of Public Prosecutions Shane Drumgold has quit over damning allegations of misconduct in the rape trial that rocked the nation — as his rival in the case labelled him a “social justice crusader” who lost his objectivity.
Mr Drumgold handed in his resignation after an inquiry into the handling of Brittany Higgins’ rape allegations against fellow Liberal staffer Bruce Lehrmann — effectively demanded by Mr Drumgold himself — alleged serious misconduct against him including that he withheld key information from the defence and lied to the Supreme Court.
In announcing his departure a defiant Mr Drumgold justified the “less than perfect” conduct with the demands of “intense and sometimes crippling pressure” and said he always acted ”in good faith”.
He said the findings were ”difficult to reconcile” with the trial judge’s “gratitude at the end of the case, for the exemplary way all counsel conducted the trial.”
“Although I accept my conduct was less than perfect, my decisions were all made in good faith, under intense and sometimes crippling pressure, conducted within increasingly unmanageable workloads,” he said in a statement to the Guardian.
“My career has been driven by a fire burning within, lit by an early life spent surrounded by the pain of chronic intergenerational social injustice.
“Unfortunately, I find the fire has been extinguished, and try as I might, I cannot reignite it.”
The findings were leaked to the media prior to formally being released, a move Mr Drumgold said denied him “procedural fairness”.
Among the most serious claims made by the inquiry was a finding that Mr Drumgold attempted to hide the “Moller Report” – a document which detailed police claims of discrepancies in Ms Higgins’ evidence.
Mr Drumgold’s response has been blasted by Mr Lehrmann’s defence lawyer Steve Whybrow who went up against him in the high-profile trial.
“Mr Drumgold’s statement seems to confirm what was blindingly apparent to the defence during the trial…that he saw himself more as a social justice crusader than an independent minister for justice,” he said.
“This apparent “end justifies the means” explanation for his conduct is frankly alarming coming from a DPP, a position which already wields so much opaque and unreviewable power over the lives of people who come into contact with the criminal justice system.”
His former client Mr Lehrmann also backed in the comments.
“This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone, it is the very least that should happen,” Mr Lehrmann said.
“The response from the former Director is not acceptable, insufficient and not worth the paper it is written on. The ACT government now needs to show leadership and hold the ODPP to account. If they don‘t, I will.”
Mr Lehrmann has maintained his innocence and the single sexual assault charge was dropped following a botched trial.
Walter Sofronoff KC found Mr Drumgold to have lied to the Supreme Court over a note made about a meeting with presenter Lisa Wilkinson before she made a speech at the Logies in June 2022 – which resulted in the trial being postponed.
The report also found evidence of unethical conduct by Mr Drumgold, including his use of a note concerning a discussion he had with Wilkinson days before her speech.
Mr Sofronoff also found Mr Drumgold had improperly questioned Senator Linda Reynolds, the former boss of Ms Higgins and Mr Lehrmann, on the stand.”
You see, Dumgold’s weasel words are very revealing, they reek far-left sanctimony…….”“My career has been driven by a fire burning within, lit by an early life spent surrounded by the pain of chronic intergenerational social injustice. He’s just admitted that he’s not interested in truth or justice, NO, the only thing that concerns him is the politics, always has been, and that’s what drove him with the Lehrmann allegation. It was a disgrace that he was ever appointed DPP in the first place, but that’s the ACT for you. Dumgold is a f*cking disgrace but so is the ACT town council headed by that mediocrity Andrew Barr.
I thought Drumgold’s early life was made miserable by his drug addicted father, who utltimately committed suicide after the very sad death of one of Drumgold’s younger three year old twin brothers.

A joke did the rounds* circa late 80’s that South Africans were the new boat people. Been here a week and bought a boat.
44 per cent of respondents said they would vote Yes, with 56 per cent voting No. Forced choice.
No leads among almost all demographics.
Yes is ahead with those who voted for the Labor Party and The Greens at the 2022 federal election (54 and 83 per cent support, respectively).
Yes is also leading with those who did not vote or do not recall how they voted (54 per cent), but their likelihood of these voters turning out at and casting a valid vote at the referendum is questionable.
Demographic traits of Yes.
Those aged 18-34 (63 per cent Yes vote), speaking a language other than English at home (59 per cent), with a university degree (56 per cent) with annual household incomes of $200,000 and above (51 per cent), living in inner-metropolitan electorates (at 50 per cent; based on AEC regions), and identifying with a religion other than Protestant or Catholic Christianity (50 per cent).
Demographic traits of No.
Respondents aged 65 and older (74 per cent No votes), Protestants (73 per cent), those with household incomes below $50,000 a year (67 per cent) and voters with less than a year 12 education (66 per cent) or a TAFE or trade qualification (67 per cent).
Full report will be posted tomorrow. Lots of detail for those interested.

Clare Armstrong reporting from Garma:
A defiant Anthony Albanese has extended an olive branch to the Coalition on the detail of the Voice declaring Australians have “nothing to fear” and “everything to gain” by backing the referendum.
The Prime Minister said he would seek broad input – including from his political opponents – following a successful referendum, in order to “maximise support” for the legislation establishing the size, function and powers of a Voice advisory body.
In an exclusive interview Mr Albanese hit back at No campaigners’ attempts to paint the Voice as a first step toward a radical version of Indigenous treaty making, slamming the reuse of scare tactics from historical land rights debates.
Unfazed by declining support for the proposal in national polling, the PM said he was confident a short and sharp official campaign would draw Australians “focus” to the question and deliver a Yes result.
“I think people do want to see Indigenous Australians have the same opportunity as non-Indigenous Australians, they do want to Close the Gap,” he said.
“But if we do the same thing, we should expect the same outcomes.
“That’s why Australians have an opportunity to either vote No for the status quo, or Yes to reach for the stars, to go through a better way.”
If passed, the constitutional amendment only mandates the creation of a Voice, while the parliament would be left to approve its final form.
Mr Albanese said a Yes result would be an endorsement for renewed political co-operation to design the body and address Indigenous disadvantage, confirming he would invite Opposition leader Peter Dutton’s input.
“We should want to maximise the support in parliament for the legislation and for that detail to be worked through … certainly I will seek bipartisan support,” he said.
Mr Albanese said while the amendment allowed the parliament to change the Voice over time, he wanted to get it as “right as possible” from the beginning.
After a week of parliament under sustained pressure to clarify his government’s position on progressing toward treaties with Indigenous Australians, Mr Albanese said the questions linking the Voice and a Makarrata Commission were a “political tactic to raise fears with people” about losing land or paying compensation.
“The very idea of Makarrata is a Yolgnu word for coming together after conflict, after struggle,” he said.
“That’s all it means. Coming together, having conversations. It’s a sensible thing.”
Mr Albanese said Australians did not have to look far for examples of bipartisan support on treaties, noting Queensland Liberal National Party leader David Crisafulli this year described treaty as “a genuine opportunity” to improve the lives of Indigenous people.
Tasmanian Liberal Premier Jeremy Rockliff last year said he was “deeply committed” to “delivering a pathway to treaty and truth telling”.
Treaty processes are underway in Queensland, Northern Territory, Victoria and Tasmania, while Mr Albanese pointed out the most “significant” agreement to date was initiated in Western Australia under former Liberal premier Colin Barnett.
Mr Albanese said warnings Australians would “lose their backyards” during the landmark Mabo and Wik cases had proven to be false.
Instead he said agreements struck through Native Title around the country since 1992 had lead to “better outcomes” and employment for Indigenous Australians.
“That’s why it’s no accident that major mining companies that have dealt directly with these issues; BHP, Rio Tinto, Woodside, are all some strong supporters of the Voice and engagement,” he said.
“When you look at the things that are most successful, what they have in common is that Indigenous people have been involved, they’ve been listened to, and what the Voice is about is giving structure to that … (as) a permanent body.”
Mr Albanese was confident the referendum would find momentum in the “final period” before the vote, widely anticipated to take place in mid-October.
“Australians aren’t yet focused on what the question is, what the detail of it is,” he said.
“I’m confident that when they focus on what it is about, which is recognition and listening in order to achieve better results, that they will embrace the opportunity that is there.”
Mr Albanese said the Voice would “lift the nation,” but “not at the expense of anyone”.
“There is no downside here,” he said.
“We are all enriched by lifting up and celebrating Indigenous Australians.”
He insisted the referendum would ultimately be won through everyday conversations at family dinner tables, in offices and sporting clubs in the coming months.
“At the heart of all is a conversation between generations, young Australians talking to their parents and their grandparents about what this moment represents,” he said.
Mr Albanese spent two days at the Garma Festival in Gulkula, north-east Arnhem Land where he met with Indigenous leaders to consult on the referendum campaign.
“It is always easier to run a negative campaign rather than a positive one,” he said.
“But I am still confident. When you look at people who’ve looked at the detail … faith groups, sporting codes, business groups, trade unions, civil society groups, the feedback is very positive.”
He really is a cocksmoker.

Lanxess, German specialty chemicals group has some words for the German government>>
“De-industrialization begins”
The specialty chemicals group Lanxess plans to close two production plants at its Krefeld-Uerdingen location in view of the high electricity price and the economic environment. The Hexan oxidation is extremely energy-intensive and should be shut down by 2026, the Cologne M-Dax group announced on Friday. „ We have been burning money here for some time and we do not expect that to change “, said Lanxess CEO Matthias Zachert in a conference call.
Lanxess had to shut down the plants in order to remain competitive. Zachert blamed politics for this. German industry has enormous location disadvantages in Germany due to the high energy costs. This is how companies migrated. „ De-industrialization begins “, said Zachert. In addition to the high costs, companies suffered from excessive bureaucracy. „ This seriously jeopardizes German prosperity and social security for people in the medium and long term. “ The federal government had to wake up, said Zachert. „ We need an economic policy that deserves this name. “
Germany and Europe is going to be in a world of pain.

I mentioned here when the first reporting of Sofronoff came out that there were references to “defamation”, particularly in relation to AFP officers.
I don’t think Sofronoff is a man given to loose application of language, particularly words like “defamation” which have legal import.
I suspect he was saying that the DPP would have certain protections from that sort of litigation for things he says in court in the execution of his role.
But once he steps outside his remit as DPP and starts slagging the reputations of others, he can’t rely upon that protection.

The day he announced that there would be no re-trial because his star witness Britnah was coming apart at the seams, he basically said Lehrmann was guilty.

More astounding was overheard conversations at the local coffee shop.
Oh and apparently when the tapes were handed over to Korn (first defender of Lehrmann) the officer mentioned Higgins texts would make interesting reading.

44 per cent of respondents said they would vote Yes, with 56 per cent voting No. Forced choice.
One key indicator that the trend for Yes has more downside is his measure of the firmly committed “rusted on” level of each side.
“No” is sitting at a fairly solid 37% of people who say their mind is totally made up.
“Yes” is languishing on 21%.

I believe it actually did. Unless I’m mistaken the Queensland cattleman (the “lovely dog” guy) took it on as a second dog – and instant success.
Yes, I think that’s right.
Lucky dog to be on TV or the outcome might have been different.
The original trainer was fckin’ useless.
No consistency with the dog, no reinforcement of behaviours, then, from memory, he tried a last minute cram session.
That rarely works with humans and never works with dogs.

There’s a lot of talk around that this country is shit-stained toilet, and/or ‘full of useless 18-35 year olds’ (h/t Razey earlier today).
However, everyday heroes still exist (Newscorp, aka the Hun and Courier-Mail):
The bodies of a father and his five young boys were being uncovered on Sunday night after a devastating fire destroyed one home and badly damaged two others, leaving a close-knit Moreton Bay island community in shock.
The children’s mother, Samantha Stephenson, 28, is understood to have told police her 34-year-old partner Wayne Godinet raced upstairs to rescue their boys, aged between 11 and 3, after a fire broke out in the Russell Island home early on Sunday.
Mr Godinet became trapped upstairs with the children before the second storey collapsed.
And:
The family was well-known to residents, including taxi driver Angela Dowson.
She described the moment Mr Godinet ran back inside the burning house to save his sons, telling their 28-year-old mother, Samantha Stephenson, who had managed to escape, to stay well away from the flames.
“I know he was a hero and he would have done everything in his power to get those kids out, so obviously it was impossible. I would call him superdad’,” Ms Dowson said.
“I have never met a more doting father who just wanted to spend time with his kids.
He would be absolutely buggered after work and he just wanted to play with them.”
Now THAT is a father – nay, THAT is a Dad.
If your kid/s are in danger, you go in with the understanding and knowledge that everyone gets out, or nobody gets out.
Vale, Mr Godinet. Well done, sir.

Newspoll out in the Oz on da Voice.
Not as stark as the Redbridge poll earlier today but the trend is bad for Luigi the Unbelievable.
WA and Qld absolutely goneski.
“Yes” would need to reap 80% of undecideds to break-even in Tassie.
Vic is neck and neck.
NSW 45% yes, 42% no and 13% undecided.
SA 48% yes, 42% no and 10% undecideds.
Two things:-
1. This poll was taken over six weeks from 31st May to 15th July. Some of the data is two months old. If the trend is running against Yes, the snapshot today is likely far worse for the Yessers.
2. Redbridge “forced” the undecideds to choose in a second round. This broke heavily towards No. If that was repeated on the Newspoll figures, the Yessers might win SA and that is all.

How many months have we got left?
You know, given I am dead man walking, I really should keep tabs on it myself.
BTW, what’s happened to Mark Latham? We haven’t heard from him as a One Nation man recently.
He’s been overseas with his new squeeze. Give the bloke a chance. He has resumed his Thursday interviews with Brent Bultitude at 1.30PM on 2SM.
Dogs are great friends Cassie.
I’ve been very critical of Howard here over the last few years I know but maybe he was a good as it gets. I certainly don’t have the confidence and optimism for this country that I had back in say 2005. Still can’t really forgive him for Trumble though.
Boycotting is the obvious solution.
Cassie, I have taken to searching out sad videos of abused doggies who then are rescued and become lovely loving dergs with a spring in their four legs and their eyes filled with love and affection. It somehow soothes the soul and repairs optimism to see them well and cared for by humans after all of their maltreatment and trials. Same for kitties too, although they are different in how they express attachment. Occasionally there are other videos of animals being cross-species attached, anything from birdies to lions, or putting on some amazing performances or simply being unbearably cute. It seems to say that as animals we all share something fundamental.
Except millions of others did too, which therefore doesn’t make it just a lived experience, you boneheaded imbecile. A lived experience is basically an anecdote that may not be enough to explain a pattern That comment wouldn’t be described as an anecdote. Look up the word, it would be a new one for you, Blog Warrior.
I 1994 the ANC got into power in SA and we packed up the kids and left. There was no doubt in my mind where the country was going. Family members followed us but half stayed. They were the wealthy ones who felt they had too much to lose. And their wealth is tied up in land. This includes a wine farm, and a number of game ranches as well as sugar, timber and crops. The farm buildings and with the exception of the wine farm in the Cape the other farms are in KwaZulu Natal and have heavy security around the buildings. We were over there last year and there is no way I could live under that continuous stress. It’s just so dangerous. All of these family members would have been able to get into Oz based on the points system when we left. Yet they still stay!
From the Daily Telegraph……..
Outgoing DPP Shane Drumgold defends his record as Lehrmann lawyer claims he was a “social justice crusader”
Angira Bharadwaj & James Morrow & Ellen Ransley
Bruce Lehrmann’s lawyer labels prosecutor Shane Drumgold a “social justice crusader” who lost his objectivity as the ACT DPP announces he is standing down in the wake of a damning report into his handling of the Brittany Higgins rape trial.
The ACT‘s embattled Director of Public Prosecutions Shane Drumgold has quit over damning allegations of misconduct in the rape trial that rocked the nation — as his rival in the case labelled him a “social justice crusader” who lost his objectivity.
Mr Drumgold handed in his resignation after an inquiry into the handling of Brittany Higgins’ rape allegations against fellow Liberal staffer Bruce Lehrmann — effectively demanded by Mr Drumgold himself — alleged serious misconduct against him including that he withheld key information from the defence and lied to the Supreme Court.
In announcing his departure a defiant Mr Drumgold justified the “less than perfect” conduct with the demands of “intense and sometimes crippling pressure” and said he always acted ”in good faith”.
He said the findings were ”difficult to reconcile” with the trial judge’s “gratitude at the end of the case, for the exemplary way all counsel conducted the trial.”
“Although I accept my conduct was less than perfect, my decisions were all made in good faith, under intense and sometimes crippling pressure, conducted within increasingly unmanageable workloads,” he said in a statement to the Guardian.
“My career has been driven by a fire burning within, lit by an early life spent surrounded by the pain of chronic intergenerational social injustice.
“Unfortunately, I find the fire has been extinguished, and try as I might, I cannot reignite it.”
The findings were leaked to the media prior to formally being released, a move Mr Drumgold said denied him “procedural fairness”.
Among the most serious claims made by the inquiry was a finding that Mr Drumgold attempted to hide the “Moller Report” – a document which detailed police claims of discrepancies in Ms Higgins’ evidence.
Mr Drumgold’s response has been blasted by Mr Lehrmann’s defence lawyer Steve Whybrow who went up against him in the high-profile trial.
“Mr Drumgold’s statement seems to confirm what was blindingly apparent to the defence during the trial…that he saw himself more as a social justice crusader than an independent minister for justice,” he said.
“This apparent “end justifies the means” explanation for his conduct is frankly alarming coming from a DPP, a position which already wields so much opaque and unreviewable power over the lives of people who come into contact with the criminal justice system.”
His former client Mr Lehrmann also backed in the comments.
“This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone, it is the very least that should happen,” Mr Lehrmann said.
“The response from the former Director is not acceptable, insufficient and not worth the paper it is written on. The ACT government now needs to show leadership and hold the ODPP to account. If they don‘t, I will.”
Mr Lehrmann has maintained his innocence and the single sexual assault charge was dropped following a botched trial.
Walter Sofronoff KC found Mr Drumgold to have lied to the Supreme Court over a note made about a meeting with presenter Lisa Wilkinson before she made a speech at the Logies in June 2022 – which resulted in the trial being postponed.
The report also found evidence of unethical conduct by Mr Drumgold, including his use of a note concerning a discussion he had with Wilkinson days before her speech.
Mr Sofronoff also found Mr Drumgold had improperly questioned Senator Linda Reynolds, the former boss of Ms Higgins and Mr Lehrmann, on the stand.”
You see, Dumgold’s weasel words are very revealing, they reek far-left sanctimony…….”“My career has been driven by a fire burning within, lit by an early life spent surrounded by the pain of chronic intergenerational social injustice. He’s just admitted that he’s not interested in truth or justice, NO, the only thing that concerns him is the politics, always has been, and that’s what drove him with the Lehrmann allegation. It was a disgrace that he was ever appointed DPP in the first place, but that’s the ACT for you. Dumgold is a f*cking disgrace but so is the ACT town council headed by that mediocrity Andrew Barr.

I thought Drumgold’s early life was made miserable by his drug addicted father, who utltimately committed suicide after the very sad death of one of Drumgold’s younger three year old twin brothers.
Drumgold complaining about being denied procedural fairness is just outrageous. The lack of self awareness is extraordinary.

Expat South Africans are highly thought of, in the West Australian Wheatbelt. They are prepared to live, where Australians don’t want to live, and they are prepared to do the work Australians don’t want to do – work on farms.
This is the last comment I’ve been able to view:
A nice cheery comment.
Now I wait till 15mins past 8 for the comments from the last hour.
When we “had the farm”, three expat South Africans were chatting on the two – way, one day. They thought speaking in Afrikaans provided security….the wages were rubbish, the machinery was crap, the boss was a slavedriver……
A joke did the rounds* circa late 80’s that South Africans were the new boat people. Been here a week and bought a boat.
*in Bondi not the wheatbelt.
Looks terminal.
but so is the ACT town council headed by that mediocrity Andrew Barr

It took me about 30 minutes to join, timed out constantly.
After that, it works, but extremely sluggish, don’t know what the new server does, but it ain’t working.
SEVEN Noongars derailed that agreement for four years, claiming they weren’t properly consulted and demanding THIRTY BILLION dollars in compensation…I’ll bet good money that any attempt at any treaty will result in a similar legal dogfight.
The panel that appointed Drumgold should be held to account. Drumgold’s claim he is a victim looking to set justice on the right track is an obvious danger. FMD. The system should absolutely belt him. The idiots of the vic court of Appeal who failed Yr 11 legal studies re Pell didn’t pay any price, so I’m not holding my breath.
This is from Cassie this morning. The ABC is where Wilkinson will eventually surface. The ABC is now doing it routinely, employing journalists and personalities who have pissed off audiences at other media outlets. For examples see Karvelas, Stan Grant, Laura Tingle. I predict that Lisa will be welcomed by the ABC with open arms and will let fly at everyone on free to air TV.
A cornucopia of cute owls with a few specimens thrown in for good measure. Head prefect won’t be able to tell the difference but for discerning viewers discernment will bring its own rewards: cute owls.

My guess is that Wilkinson will end up as either a professor or adjunct professor of media studies at CSU, UTS or WSU. These people have no shame.

Yank lezzoes struggling to hit the side of barn against the Svedettes …
I mentioned here when the first reporting of Sofronoff came out that there were references to “defamation”, particularly in relation to AFP officers.
I don’t think Sofronoff is a man given to loose application of language, particularly words like “defamation” which have legal import.
I suspect he was saying that the DPP would have certain protections from that sort of litigation for things he says in court in the execution of his role.
But once he steps outside his remit as DPP and starts slagging the reputations of others, he can’t rely upon that protection.
Did Drambuie do any of that ” outside his remit”?
He got the junior to lie which impacted on Brucy.
Svedettes! 🙂

You know, if the Oz decided to cobble together the scribblings of Janet and Chris Merritt on this matter into a single book, I’d buy several copies for my lefty friends.
It was meticulous and tireless pursuit of this stinking mess right from the start.
But, but, won’t they simply vote just as their leaders tell ’em to?
Yes.
The day he announced that there would be no re-trial because his star witness Britnah was coming apart at the seams, he basically said Lehrmann was guilty.
Sofronoff suggested he had no legal basis to say or imply that and should have STFU.
So, yes, worth a look.
You must do these things! I brought sevral copies of Peter O’Brien’s “The Indigenous Voice to Parliament – the No Case.” I have presented said copies to various Lefties, and none of them are speaking to me!
I read some of the a bit redacted enquiry statements of a couple of the more junior prosecutors at the ODPP on the BOI website.
Some chatter about inappropriate comments from afp staff at training sessions.
More astounding was overheard conversations at the local coffee shop.
Oh and apparently when the tapes were handed over to Korn (first defender of Lehrmann) the officer mentioned Higgins texts would make interesting reading.
Lots of discussion about those phone downloads and what the defence should and shouldn’t get and then about flights and accommodation including whether the DPP would pay for Higgins to bring her dog down from Queensland.
Didn’t Drumgold call the afp Investigators ‘boofheads’?
youse need to listen to JC … this time, he really does know what he’s talking about
I mean when it comes to slagging other people’s reputations, he has years of experience.

look into his wooden eyes while his lips are moving

basically JC is like the Michael Carradine of slagging people off.

That was a top show, although I got a bit cranky at the gentleman farmer from Victoria who had a “difficult” dog.

But, all things considered, a good show.

He can see what he wants, unless there’s massive cheating, the squeal isn’t getting through. They’re finished.
One key indicator that the trend for Yes has more downside is his measure of the firmly committed “rusted on” level of each side.
“No” is sitting at a fairly solid 37% of people who say their mind is totally made up.
“Yes” is languishing on 21%.
It’s always a bit hard to tell with the “sport” of Soccer. They should just declare it “mixed gender” and be done with it. No one will notice the difference.
The more you think about it, the more this alleged rape saga is one of the most massively absurd events in Australian legal history.
1. The accusation ends up in court despite strong police protestations.
2. The case ends up being dropped after a mistrial
3. The prosecutor ends up being investigated, found to be a dishonest incompetent douchebag and ends up basically fired for acting like a disgraceful moron.
4. The current government hands over $3million dollars to the accuser.
As I said, the west is swarming with massive incompetence.
God this is slow.
