Did you lose money in Bell Group?
I was working for a professional services firm in Melbourne in the mid-late ’80’s and there were four “do not touch” investments … Skase, Bond, Holmes a Court and Spalvins.

A family member had dealings with a Holmes a Court and was not complimentary about him so I was not surprised to see that name on this list.

Consumers are killing cash. On the whole most young people walk around with a card and don’t want to use cash.

I walk around with cash in a wallet just in case, but I haven’t used it for months. I suspect most people are like that. I’ve heard reports that retailers – small and large- see only around 10% of their transactions in cash.

Oh, oh , I thought it was someone else.

Credit cards appear to work in the big cities like a well greased gear, but not so much in the hinterlands most especially in the US. A surprising number of people in US flyover country don’t even have bank accounts and their bank wages are paid in cash.

The LPARE (Large Planet Altering R-process Event) hypothesis attempts to explain these major isotopic puzzles at Mars by postulating that two massive, anomalous thermonuclear explosions, rich in R-process physics, occurred over the surface of Northern Mars in the past, approximately 500 million years ago, and that these explosions created the 129Xe/132Xe excess, and the accompanying intense neutron bombardment of Mars atmosphere and regolith created the 40Ar/36Ar excess off of potassium in the surface rocks.

Obviously the 3rd nations were using Mars for their nuclear testing program.

Still think #DEWs are just “conspiracy theory”

So they’ve already delivered a working prototype of a 300-kW laser to the DoD and are now building a 500-kW combat laser. These weapons would destroy a drone instantly, and could well do the same for mortar bombs and artillery shells. Coupled with the missile shields like Iron Dome and you have a completely new battlefield. It’s interesting to live in a time when science fiction is becoming science fact.

I wonder how many wind turbines and solar panels they will need to power it?

It is interesting indeed. I remember back in my teenage years at the height of the Cold War there were murmurings that the Soviets had developed DEW’s.

Rita Panahi:

Jacinta Nampijinpa Price is the bravest woman I know.

She is a warrior who has withstood the most dreadful vitriol and threats to fight for what’s right.

Sadly, for her what’s right is not always popular with the media, celebrity and activist class, who too often set the narrative in this country.

For years she has endured the ugliest of abuse — often racial and/or sexual in nature — for speaking up about the deplorable rates of domestic violence and child sexual abuse in Indigenous communities.

She has been targeted by the powerful to the pitiful, from prominent Indigenous men to random online trolls.

If she had railed against Australia Day and the flag, Price would be celebrated as a heroine, but she has the temerity to speak about what she has seen and experienced; consequential issues that can’t be readily blamed on “colonisation” or “white privilege”.

This week, Marcus Stewart, a Yes campaigner who has served as co-chair of the First Peoples’ Assembly of Victoria, was given a platform on the national broadcaster to throw demented abuse at Senator Price.

“We have a far Right politician in Senator Nampijinpa Price out there spreading lies, spreading misinformation, I don’t think I’ve come across anyone that hates Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander — or seems to hate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people — so much,” he said.

Here was an Indigenous man who looks whiter than the washed out ABC host interviewing him, accusing a black woman, a survivor of domestic violence who has devoted her life to helping the most disadvantaged in her community, of hating her own people.

The ABC host, Greg Jennett, did not question that outrageous statement, indeed he sought to justify it by suggestions why Stewart would make such a claim.

Apparently, Price questioning the usefulness of divisive and often incoherent Welcome to Country statements warrants such an unhinged reaction.

Many Australians, from all sorts of backgrounds, detest being incessantly welcomed to their own country.

It’s precisely the type of performative racial privilege that achieves nothing other than dividing us along racial lines; owners and interlopers.

For many years now, long before the Voice debate, Price has been punished for revealing the cultural issues that contribute to Indigenous women being 35 times more likely to be hospitalised due to domestic violence than other Australian women.

Price has been in the activists’ crosshairs for years, with the intensity of the attacks picking up in 2016 after she shared insights into the culture of silence that demands victims protect their abusers or face retribution, not just from the aggressor, but their extended family.

Price explained the dangerous cycle of violence: “The kinship network demands loyalty to your family members, even if they are a perpetrator.

“One is expected to pretend that these perpetrators are decent human beings and ignore the fact that they have committed acts of physical and sexual violence towards those you love. Because to speak the truth is to create conflict. So from early in life, everyone learns to lie to keep the peace — which manifests into child and youth suicide and the continuation of a destructive cycle.”

Back in 2018, I wrote about some of the abuse Price was copping and the lack of support from “the sisterhood”, which normally sparks into action at the first hint of gendered abuse.

Back then, it was the likes of Bill Nicholson, from the Wurundjeri tribe council, who was targeting Price. He posted: “How bout (sic) you f—ing die a painful death u sell out cocanut (sic) … Ur (sic) type of real cancer in our communities and need to be eradicated like the disease u are.”

Then there were the many threats of physical and sexual violence that people felt emboldened enough to post on social media.

In the face of such ugliness, Price has maintained a quiet but fierce dignity.

She won’t be bullied into silence or intimidated into inaction.

She is her mother’s daughter, the fearless Bess Price, who was promised to an older man as a second wife when she was just 13.

She escaped that fate to become an advocate for the disadvantaged and served in the Northern Territory Legislative Assembly.

Senator Price has excelled as Shadow Indigenous Australians minister after replacing the feckless Julian Leeser.

Australia is lucky to have a woman of her calibre in the Australian parliament.

Just brilliant. I’m sure Razey will agree. Or not.

Grate. Just wow. James Morrow writes:

A government plan to pass laws to combat untruths spreading online has been called “the biggest assault on free speech in peacetime Australia” after Facebook censored a post about the longer form version of the Uluru Statement from the Heart, calling it misinformation.

Sky News Australia host Peta Credlin on Thursday revealed Facebook “blanked out” a post of a video of her arguing the case that a longer version of the Uluru Statement exists.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has consistently denied a longer version of the statement, which was revealed in a Freedom of Information request, exists and has compared those who talk about it as “conspiracy theorists.”

A version of the longer document also appears in the final report of the Referendum Council, and in the past pro-Voice advocates such as Megan Davis have referred to the Uluru Statement being more than just one page.

Despite the ongoing controversy, the post was censored on the basis of a fact check by RMIT that accepted the prime minister’s statement that the document was just one page.

Daniel Wild, deputy director of the Institute of Public Affairs, said that laws proposed by the Albanese government to combat misinformation would increase censorship and allow the government to be the sole source of truth about controversial issues.

“These laws would be the biggest assault on free speech in peacetime Australia, and could be used to potentially outlaw disagreement with and dissent from government policy,” Mr Wild said.

“Already we see big tech teaming up with highly biased fact-checking organisations to create a back door for censorship on critical issues like the Voice … the sinister thing these laws do is give the government the power to decide what is and what isn’t misinformation.”

Media lawyer and partner at major law firm Thomson Geer Justin Quill said “the whole concept behind the misinformation law is flawed in the extreme.”

“If you are trying to stop people who believe in a silly conspiracy and the government tries to silently censor it, that will only reinforce the conspiracy in the minds of those who might spread it or believe it.”

“Let the truth prevail, let it be put out there and debated,” he said.

Opposition communications spokesman David Coleman also blasted the proposed laws, saying: “Censorship of free speech in a democracy is a very concerning thing.

“We are already seeing censorship of political views, even without Labor’s appalling proposed misinformation laws.

“Those laws would restrict free speech further as they will give tech platforms a financial incentive to take down material in order to avoid huge fines.

“Everyday Australians will find their content removed and their free speech censored.”

A spokesman for Communications Minister Michelle Rowland said: “The draft legislation out for consultation would empower the ACMA to gather information about how the platforms moderate content they judge to be misinformation and disinformation.”

“Professional news content would be exempt.

“The government does not seek to influence reporting by the free press, given its important role in our democracy, and many of professional news businesses are already subject to media industry codes and standards”.

Professional news content would be exempt. So government decides on who is professional and who is not? A more useless gaggle of politicians you would be hard pressed to find.

I was looking for an older link and read back a few pages. I’d completely missed the stoush over my linking to an article about the death of a young man. I believe it was the one where I commented “No explanation given”. And that was exactly the case. No reason was given in the article I linked and as it turns out the death was not vax linked. My “crime” seems to be not digging further and people were seriously suggesting I should be banned for that. Interesting.

And talking about big pharma shills, Sancho you’re doing stellar work in trying to shut down any broader discussion of their many malfeasances, as illustrated by the billions in fines that they’ve faced in the past.

REPORT: How Charities Secretly Help Win Elections

Just got back to my computer and saw JC’s comment at 5:40 yesterday about the San Francisco tours of the city’s decaying and rotting areas.

Blue City Safaris!

Imagine small bullet-proof (and fire-proof) buses trundling through these areas, perhaps painted with a few fake tags to add atmosphere – like the stripes on vehicles that go through lion safaris.

People in the bus would be pressed up against the windows watching the fighting, the lighting fires, the crime, the drug zombies, and so on. Taking pictures all the while.

If there is a lull the tour operator should be able to stir things up – once I would have said just throw a pair of Nike’s and watch the locals swarm out guns blazing, but they can just walk into shops now for Nikes. Perhaps instead just a loud speaker that calls out “Nigga just called you a mother-f*cker!” Doesn’t matter that no one had at that moment, there are plenty of people who know who to blame and they will try to take them out.

And the merchandising!

Long sleeve shirts with skin coloured arms and red dots along the inside forearm – mimicking needle punctures.

Blankets with patterns of needles and blood and faeces that people can lay down for a picnic blanket and have a blue city picnic.

And a variation of the snow globe – it contains a a collapsing city scape or even just a neighbourhood, but instead of shaking and having little white flakes like snow sprinkle down, they are black flakes like ash.

And then of course the article preparing the climate narrative.

People in the bus would be pressed up against the windows watching the fighting, the lighting fires, the crime, the drug zombies, and so on. Taking pictures all the while.

A very funny episode of Seinfeld featured German tourists doing just that in NYC.

Just this morning my wife, who has relatives in California, expressed amazement at the news coming out of SF.

Senator Jacinta Price IS a brave woman, yet all she does is speak commonsense and truth. But this is the country we now live in, where speaking commonsense and truth is deemed “brave”.

She has a lot of support, Cassie.

Just this week she sold out a 1400 seat venue in this neck of the woods.

The organisers admitted they underestimated the public’s response.

Mine, at various times and places, identified as Spider-Man, robots, a roaring tiger, a crocodile, and many, many other genders.

My younger cousin identified as Superman.

Everyone played long until he decided if he jumped off the roof he could fly.

No long-term damage done, fortunately.

Completely missed, huh?
So your day consists of dumping two slabs of vax-loon links (morning and evening), peppered with random obituaries of people under 40 (just FYI) and you don’t bother to read back to see if anyone has responded?
More like “I got caught posting misleading sudden death shit so I went to ground”.

Swords and knives?

No need for James Bond villain scenarios when administrations are stacked with lo-IQ zealots with blunder-immunity superpowers.

Hawaiian natives are resentful of water being diverted from traditional crops like taro to sugar cane, resorts and residential developments. Water permits are a big deal.

Coming soon to a jurisdiction near you via state based indigenous treaties.

25 years ago the game was to oversell each international flight by 15% – on the basis that, with an average 15% cancellation rate, the planes were flying at 85% capacity.

Smart business practice, no doubt, But being stuck at an airport, watching the last lucky pax go through, while the frazzled Q ground staff tried to work out your Plan B wore thin if you were a frequent traveller.

American Airlines have the same strategy. We were asked twice to stay behind in exchange for free accomodation overnight until a flight the next day. Did not take up the offer due to having to make a connecting flight at the destination.

Other times passengers were asked to check in their onboard luggage. Could not work out that one as there is inbuilt space for each passenger’s onboard piece of luggage.

James O’Doherty writes on a jobs for mates in New South Wales:

Cabinet meetings are usually top-secret discussions between ministers of the Crown, who are bound by oath not to disclose what goes on.

But this week’s meeting had a special guest.

I can reveal that the Independent Commission Against Corruption used Tuesday’s meeting as an opportunity to remind members if Premier Chris Minns’ cabinet of their legal obligations under the Ministerial Code of Conduct.

As part of that presentation, the ICAC’s Chief Commissioner John Hatzistergos gave ministers an annotated copy of that code, complete with notes explaining what is, and is not, allowed.

The reminder came too late for dumped minister Tim Crakanthorp, who was sacked earlier this month for failing to disclose his family’s extensive property empire.

But it was, perhaps, timely for Transport Minister Jo Haylen, who stands accused of interfering (via her office) in a “merit-based selection process” to hand-pick her preferred candidate for one of the most important jobs in the bureaucracy.

That candidate was Josh Murray, a former Labor staffer-turned-Laing O’Rourke executive. He also happens to be a member of the Labor Party.

In July, a government media release said Murray’s appointment followed “a market testing and recruitment process led by the Acting Secretary of the Premier’s Department, Peter Duncan AM, in consultation with the Minister for Transport, Jo Haylen”.

The only problem? The panel put in place to evaluate candidates did not think Murray was the best candidate. And the minister’s office appears to have been pushing Murray from the start.

When the job was first advertised, Haylen’s Chief of Staff Scott Gartrell sent the job listing to Murray, who applied on May 19.

On May 23, Murray texted Gartrell to thank him for “checking in”.

“I had an email from (recruitment firm) NGS Global last Friday confirming they had all my materials,” he said.

Gartrell then said that Murray should be interviewed for the job, despite NGS Global initially suggesting that Murray did not have the “level of operational complexity required for this role”.

Later, the recruitment firm warned that Murray’s appointment would be a “significant risk” because he lacked “large-scale strategic, operational or people leadership experience”.

Eventually, the evaluation panel found Murray to be “very suitable” to be the next Transport boss.

However, he was ranked behind top Transport bureaucrat Benedicte Colin, who was deemed “highly suitable”.

Haylen was asked to pick between the two, which she did hours after interviewing them on a Saturday morning.

“Josh is a better fit for the department and for me at this time and is therefore my preferred candidate,” she told the acting Department of Premier and Cabinet secretary.

As Transport Minister, Haylen can choose whoever she wants to lead her department.

The government also wanted someone who would bring a fresh start, rather than someone who may bring baggage from the last government.

That is all fine.

Murray may end up being a good appointment; as Minns says, the proof will be in the pudding.

Haylen could have just appointed Murray from the outset and avoided all the fuss. However, she spent $125,000 on a “merit-based selection process” which ultimately suggested someone else would be more suitable for the job.

Haylen has said that she appointed the external panel to “reassure” herself that the best candidates had applied.

Essentially, the whole process was a $125,000 vibe check.

Now the minister is tying herself in knots trying to defend the actions very similar to those Labor slammed when former deputy premier John Barilaro was selected for a plum New York trade role.

Incredibly, Haylen has even claimed that her chief of staff “did not tell the independent panel who to interview”.

Except, in fact, he did.

On May 30, Gartrell told the chair of the assessment panel put in place to shortlist candidates that a proposed shortlist was “pretty underwhelming!”.

“Josh Murray should be interviewed as well,” he said.

Haylen has also admitted that her office intervened to get Murray an interview.

“Well, yes, my office did provide additional names to be interviewed,” she told 2GB, when explaining how Murray appeared on the final shortlist.

Haylen denies lying about her chief of staff’s involvement, claiming that he was just “making a suggestion”.

That is too cute by half.

Haylen clearly wanted Josh Murray to be the man running her department. She should have just appointed him in the first place, rather than trying to hide behind a sham process.

The Coalition believes that Haylen has serious questions to answer about whether she breached the Ministerial Code of Conduct over the saga.

Last week, the ICAC warned ministers that anything unlikely to pass “the pub test” should be referred to the corruption watchdog.

The guidelines said ministers should report anything that “a reasonable person in the community would consider the alleged conduct to be dubious or improper”.

Asked on Thursday if the Transport boss appointment passed the pub test, Haylen said a defiant “yes”.

Ultimately, that is a question only the public can answer.
