New research provides insight Into COVID-19 immunity (17 Aug)
Almost exactly the proportion the Diamond Princess fiasco implied, since about 700 of 3500 on board got sick.

Report: Documents Unearthed Reveal DeSantis Super PAC Plan to Defend Trump and ‘Hammer’ Ramaswamy in Debate (17 Aug)
What it sounds like is DeSantis’s top men have decided he should “support” Trump to keep his voters sweet, but undermine Vivek in a sort of Steven Bradbury manoeuvre …hoping that the Dems will take Trump down with lawfare and DeSantis can then skate to the gold medal.
I don’t think it will work since it reeks of fake – unlike Vivek, who is pretty much for real. He’s made a couple small missteps, but DeSantis has been faceplanting like an absolute pro lately. Sadly, since he’d be a pretty good Prez. No chance of that now though.

Crossie.
American Airlines have the same strategy. We were asked twice to stay behind in exchange for free accommodation overnight until a flight the next day. Did not take up the offer due to having to make a connecting flight at the destination.
Years ago, a good friend of mine was a senior exec with Ansett. He told me that when sales for a flight opened, the initial sales ‘allowance’ was for 200% of seats on the aircraft. So, if the flight opened with say 150 days to departure, they would sell up to 450 seats for a 150 seat aircraft. Normally they would never get that many bookings on opening sales but in any case Ansett knew that people would change flights or cancel as the 150 days ticked down.
Within about a month of departure, sales may be 150% of capacity, within 15 days about 125%, within a week about 110% and on departure day, about 100%. If still too many people, arrangements would be made after a culling process determined by your FF membership/profile.
Vivek outline his major hurdle – that of lack of media exposure. He said he had to rely on small donations; the big donors won’t touch him because Vivek said he can’t be bought.
The best I can do in my professional capacity as a TikTok influencer is read the guidelines, which appear to provide that:
– ACMA’s ‘big stick’ enforcement relationships are with digital service providers – ie platform operators.
– The cunning plan is to force them all to accept fealty to ACMA-approved guidelines, which may inter alia contain requirements for digital service providers to contact publishers of deemed naughty material. It appears that the legislation intends to apply a penalty of 2,000 penalty units ($0.5 million) to you personally if, when contacted by WordPress, you then refuse to take down the misleading rubbish that I might have posted.
– The legislation is intended to operate extra-territorially, with the apparent intention that ACMA will have the power to burst into US or Russian DSP offices like Elliot Ness, with local law enforcement and court summonses in tow, to enforce the Will of Albanese.
I’m certainly no expert in this domain, but it looks very much like the Albanese Government is preparing to throw Michelle Rowland, dressed in a clown suit, on fire, into a pit of vipers and lawyers, with the band playing Waltzing Matilda, on vuvuzelas.
People purporting to be Aboriginal with one great grandparent or even less ancestry seem to be part of this make believe decadence that infects the west. Skill and competence are not celebrated. Common sense and hard work are racist.
Interesting thoughts from a Patrick Beth David podcast.
75% of all advertising on Cable TV in USA is from Big Pharma. Only 2 countries in the world allow such advertising, USA and NZ.
Sometime last year streaming overtook Cable in viewing.
If a Presidential candidate was to campaign on banning and did implement such a ban it would remove 75% of their current income stream.
I think it is a great idea as it was quite clear that cable news had a vested interest to support pharma and their vaccines. The classic example was when they went for Joe Rogan when he said he had used Ivermectin as amongst other things when he caught Covid.
We have a similar situation here where 2GB is running plenty of pharma ads. 2GB pushed the vaccines that were supposed to stop transmission but now promote the anti virals that you taking after catching Covid which was not supposed to happen.

‘What confuses me about the nuclear debate is that the most vocal critics of nuclear are the most alarmist about climate change. If you really believed we face doom from global warming, why wouldn’t you want to use a safe, proven, emission-free type of power?’
Why. Because those making the big bucks out of renewables want the rort to continue as long as possible.They know that sooner or later we will have to move to nuclear or go back back to coal and gas. So while they have a window of opportunity to drain the public purse they will do so. The climate change doomsters are their niaive foot soldiers, blindly opposing fossil fuels, nuclear energy and the building of more dams for hydro.

Now that we are going into the debate about nuclear power, might I suggest a strategy of explaining to those who have learned only the scary slogans that what they are worried about is nucular (pronounced nyu-kyu-lah) energy, whereas now we have something called nuclear (pronounced nyu-kli-yah) which is completely different.
It is not really a lie, just liberating the argument from the old lies.
Careful.

The US media has a lower credibility rating than any other group including the Congress. It’s at record low levels because no one believes their bullshit packaged as news. What would be the purpose of banning advertising? I very much doubt it wouldn’t be challenged before SCOTUS anyway, and likely succeed.
If any of these Australian ban-this, ban-that cowpokes thought about it for a second they would realise there are other avenues in how news gets out and cable news has a very low audience base compared to free to air, the internet etc.

Not really. Take adultery laws, US had them since the Founding (and before) and some states still do but they’re rarely applied nowadays. Was the grounds of the law not ‘liking’ it or something more substantial like what was good for the polity? Pretty much the same structure applies to what is banned now but a different measure of what is good (and for whom) is applied.

Hey JC….do you put any credence in Michael Burry’s recent shorting activity? A couple of days ago Reuters and others were reporting this:
Burry’s Scion Asset Management bought put options with a notional value of $739 million against the popular Invesco QQQ Trust ETF (QQQ.O) during the quarter, and separate put options with a notional value of $886 million against the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY.P).
He probably paid very little for the puts – is this just an ‘each way bet’ or do you think he is more right than wrong?

Yes, I think over-selling of flights has always been a thing.
I can remember years ago travelling with a colleague through the US (he had lived there for a long time). I commented on the rush for the boarding gate and he explained about over-selling, even up to the point of issuing boarding passes. (I think SouthWest had an open boarding pass at one stage with no seat allocation).
I don’t mind the US system where they are somewhat open about it and are prepared to cough up with compensation.
As distinct from Quaintarse who simply overbook flights and shrug when confronted.
It seems that the old overbooking system in Australia used to work fairly seamlessly with very few excess bookings on the day of the flight.
It seems to me that Q makes no distinction between a business day-tripper from Melbourne to Sydney (who might chop and change flights) and a family of five booking a holiday to Bali (who are 98% certain to show up).
And here’s the thing.
Who cares about actual seat loading?
It is the financial seat loading which matters. If the Bali holiday-makers have paid a fully fixed non-refundable fare, who gives a rats if they don’t make the flight (apart from them of course)?
Dr Evil’s Mega-Laser.

Yep. If our strategy against the left is to let them run roughshod over us when they have power and do nothing when we are in power, how do we expect anything other than civilisation collapse?
Having said that, pharma advertising clearly isn’t the problem. The source itself admits that only NZ and the US can do it. And yet every country on the planet is 100% run by pharma whores.
It starts with patents. Some medicines can be patented some cannot. It’s not about efficacy it’s about how many syllables are in the name of the treatment. That creates a perverse incentive. The owners of the new patentable drug have much incentive to bribe the bureaucrats. And they do. They also pressure/bribe the journalists to start making a big deal out of whatever condition the treatment supposedly treats. Those bribes exist regardless of advertising bans because Big Pharma just makes promises of million dollar a year jobs to the relevant people. Nobody has ever tried to put a stop to this. Not in any country.
Once you have a gigantic apparatus determining what treatments are wonderful and what treatments are useless – all entirely based on the bribes that bureaucrats get – it should be obvious you have a catastrophically useless and dangerous system.
It gets worse though because the pressured/bribed journalists make people terrified of the completely ubiquitous germs so not only do people rush out and get dangerous and useless treatments for themselves, they demand the government force other people to get these same dangerous and useless treatments.
All done in the name of “science” according to Lizzie. Don’t you dare question it. There are no perverse incentives in allowing bureaucrats to take a million dollar a year job taking junkets every other week. No sirree. It’s empirical science according to Lizzie and Dot and Sancho.
No different to Maxwell’s equations.

” Ep. 17 Vivek Ramaswamy is the youngest Republican presidential candidate ever. He’s worth listening to.
Thanks for posting this, dover. I’m very glad I took the time to watch the whole thing. Vivek is a man of common sense and I could not find one point he made that I disagree with.
“
All of the interviews Tucker has in Twitter (“X”) are worth a look – RFK Jr, Sund (DC Police Chief during the “insurrection”) and so on.
Vivek has been on TimCast IRL as well (available on EweTube), and in every interview I have seen with him, he strikes me as being honest, straightforward, well spoken, and willing to consider “non-establishment” solutions that at least seem to make sense. Where he disagrees, he lets his opponent talk, then calmly rebuts points with clarity and references – almost De Santis but more personable. 🙂
He even says (paraphrase) “It would be better for me in the GOP primaries if Trump was out of play, but what they are doing is unacceptable on principle”.
Like RFK Jr, Vivek doesn’t get much in the way of MSM exposure, likely because both are anti-establishment. An RFK Jr vs Vivek presidential election would be almost “no lose” for normal people, so regardless of it’s merits, it seems unlikely to happen. Sad!
“According to a member of the Indonesian crew. the Australians paddled off leaving them behind as they unsurprisingly could not keep up and one is now missing
In a life or death situation you do whatever it takes to survive but it seems those young people did not think to include the crew in their tight little group to help them survive too”
My understanding is that they struggled to keep up. Also, one of the Indonesian crew was found paddling with the three Australians who were first spotted, the fourth Australian, Elliott Foote, had paddled off to get help, and he was spotted sometime later.
I’m not sure any of us have been in a life and death situation, I haven’t so I won’t pass judgment. As it was, the Australians were clearly strong paddlers which helped them survive. Imagine being on a surfboard in the middle of the ocean? I think I would have despaired, and just given up It’s a miracle any of them survived, a testament to their fortitude. Yes, I feel sad that a man remains missing, but I am also happy that there were survivors. All of them could have drowned.
The left have been stacking institutions for decades, it is a mystery why they would have gone so hard on the Barilaro schmozzle because, well, they are way better at it than the other side. One random self interested party feathering their own nest is really not much compared to the weapons grade stacking everyone knows they have been doing forever.
Now, will the right call them to account across the board on this? It’s not like the lefties can stop doing it, they use these appointments as currency.
Within about a month of departure, sales may be 150% of capacity, within 15 days about 125%, within a week about 110% and on departure day, about 100%. If still too many people, arrangements would be made after a culling process determined by your FF membership/profile.

“Yes,” the hostess says.
“Well, let’s keep it friendly.”

“Because those making the big bucks out of renewables want the rort to continue as long as possible.They know that sooner or later we will have to move to nuclear or go back back to coal and gas.”
But they are ignorant of the fact (or don’t care!) that it takes 5-10 years to build a 2.6GW coal power station. Nuclear would likely take longer, if anything.
Worse, they want to completely demolish existing plant, meaning they can’t even put them back on-line when the worst happens (and it seems inevitable now).
Rosie:
Why on earth would ‘Big Pharma” keep secret that drugs which raise dopamine levels is a cure for RLS?
Vaccines for corona type viruses were certainly under research & development for over 20 years – with indifferent results, as one would expect. All vaccinologists acknowledged it was a hell of a task. Recall that an effective vaccine has not been developed for HIV AIDS, in spite of the high profile of the disease. Instead, scientists used combinations of repurposed drugs to develop an effective way of containing the disease so that sufferers would not succumb to the virus itself.
In spite of the long term research into the efficacy of mRNA vaccines and the discovery of lipid technology for delivery, these vaccines for corona viruses were still not proven and approved when COVID19 appeared. There were some limited tests by the pharmaceutical companies in 2020, but they were far from the 5-10 years of testing normally assigned before final approval & the release. Instead, they were given provisional approval in light of the global panic that had developed.
Another note on adultery laws. Even in today’s circumstances, I can make a compelling libertarian case for “adultery laws”. Agreements and contracts are some of the most significant libertarian philosophical foundational notions. If you make and /or sign an agreement/contract and do not follow through on it, such as a marriage contract, there should be a cost for “leg-overing” or being leg-overed outside of a marriage. If a party destroys someone’s life as a result of a leg-over outside of marriage, serious sanctions should be imposed be it financial or even jail time, depending on the seriousness.
I’m not sure why you’d use adultery as an example of nanny statism in the United States. You’re also overlooking the fact that marriage contracts in the United States are state-based rather than federal.

“How hot does a fire have to be to melt glass?”

The reported power consumption of terrestrial DEW’s capable of setting fire to a target in the several kilometer range is something like 50kW+ continuous. I’m no expert here, but you’d have to start with the assumption that popping off grass fires from low Earth orbit at ~300km would take a fair bit more than that because of optical scattering.
A typical communication satellite carries ~1kW running off solar panels. The Space Shuttle had a bank of fuel cells delivering a total power capacity of 12.5kW.
So, if the fiendish Chinese have developed a way of deploying a fire-starting DEW from space, the most intriguing technological development is how they have managed to get a 50kW++ power source into orbit.
Firstly, adultery laws were considered criminal, not a civil matter. And, secondly, they could be applied even where both spouses were involved in extramarital affairs. In other words, the entire grounds for criminalizing adultery are broader than simply a ‘contract violation’ so the attempt to encompass such a law in libertarian terms entirely fails.
Because right-liberals have built a mythology about American law that is contradicted by the facts, not least by laws against blasphemy, adultery, fornication, etc. being almost ubiquitous in 19th C USA.

The Brisbane Times has published a set of Queensland voting intention numbers compiled over long range from four sets of Resolve Strategic’s monthly national polling, achieving a sample of 947 from a period running from mid-May through to last week. It adds to an impression from other polling this year by YouGov and Freshwater Strategy that Labor is likely to struggle at an election to be held in October next year, with the Liberal National Party opposition opening a primary vote lead of 38% to 32% after trailing by 35% to 33% in the period from January to April. The Greens are down a point to 11%, One Nation is up one to 8%, and a generic independent category is down two to 8%.
As always, Resolve Strategic does not provide a two-party preferred result, but a judicious estimate of four-fifths of Greens preference to Labor plus two-fifths of everybody else’s comes out at 51.5-48.5 in favour of the LNP

On drug adverts in the US, I have to say that I do find them a little bit amusing.
Where an Australian company would run a campaign promising mild symptomatic relief, the same US advert will offer Fountain of Youth (with all the fine print disclaimers, of course).
And they assume the patient possesses a wealth of knowledge about alternative treatments.
The idea is push marketing to get the patient to drive demand.
Perhaps they need to be armed, seeing there are around 500 million firearms lurking around the place.
Cops this country wear combat gear and have a gun, meanwhile the population is not allowed to be armed. What’s your point?
25% of the ad tells you the med may cure an itchy ballsack. 75% of the ad tells you that on application, the side effects could be immediate heart seizure, massive stroke, blindness, chronic coughing, mental incapacitation. “If you experience any of these symptoms see your doctor”.

Globe-trotting Anthony Albanese has rung up a $5 million bill for VIP flights since he was elected last year spending an average of $88,000 a week on flights.
After a long delay in publishing records of the taxpayer-funded flights, the Defence Department quietly posted the RAAF squadron VIP flight records on Friday afternoon.
The total spend from April 2022 to July 2023 was over $5 million or an average of $88,000 a week.

Paddling off on a surfboard in that situation is analogous to leaving your vehicle when bogged. Just luck really it worked out the way it did this time. Fishing from small boats is the same. It’s not if, it’s when. I remember reading about one guy who kept flippers loose on the deck for that purpose and who had swum to shore 2 or 3 times. Can’t remember where it was but another crew member died.

It was considered serious enough to be a crime without any suicide. That is an illustration of the poverty of the libertarian view you presented. It fails to capture that.
Don’t know what you mean here.
There is no ‘contract violation’ if both consent, or amend their marriage contract, in the libertarian view, whereas the argument for adultery as a crime rests upon the injury to society, not merely to the spouses/ children. It wouldn’t be a criminal matter otherwise.
Well, pay attention and follow all the links.

My experience of flying too hence my partner & children were all enrolled in the FF programs. Even Bronze has perks on an overbooked flight.
There was no question back in the days of Ansett, that the pecking order was non-FF, then FF x hierarchy thereafter. Qantas did it too and I’m sure you know that concept still survives (with some modification) in Qantas and Virgin to this day.
Two quick stories:
Our Chairman was a member of the Chairman’s Club. The company was a very large Ansett client. One day the Chairman was running late for a flight and I was told to ring Ansett and get them to hold the aircraft. (true!). So I rang my Ansett exec mate who duly contacted Operations at the airport and the plane was delayed 10 minutes for our bloke to get on board.
Friday nights at the Ansett FF club. Remember those nights? An utter drunken swim-through ’till the last flight left. It became so much that Ansett eventually put in a rule that you had to be flying that night to access the bar. Before that, all you needed was your membership card and it was free booze and all you could drink.
JC,
The issue of 75% advertising becomes significant when a Government is basically mandating you take the pharma product.
Now just imagine for a moment the product was not properly tested and was found to harm some of the people it was supposed to help.
Or there were preexisting safe long used medicines that could help but would affect pharmas profits.
It becomes an issue when the media picks a side.
Now if it was 75% funded by fast food might be different as the Government was not mandating certain brands of fast food.
The US cable news media was bought and paid for and did its job accordingly.
JC I find without using Big Pharma to cure itchy ballsak is give the boys a rub, the side effects are much the same, the heart beats quickly, the eyes glaze over, resulting in a shorter stroke in my case, coughing if too vigorous and now what was I thinking about? I find these side effects resolve themselves without going to the duk.
Just got a text from the No Campaign asking me to come in for training prior to me making calls to voters from my own mobile. I know you can block your number and all but I’m not sure this is a great strategy from the No side?
Firstly, not everyone is a logophile like me. Secondly, you know there are going to be “embeds” from the Yes side up to nasty things inside the No side..
Been there, done that! (and got the t-shirt) 😛
Don’t confuse Big Pharma with Big Farmer. Gez is outstanding in his field and has many plants at his disposal, they are not really suitable for for drug manufacture unless you count those large tomato ones behind the shed.
I’m not sure this is a great strategy from the No side?
My thinking is no- my view is if the subject comes up state your case with supporting evidence. I know if anyone turns up here telling me to vote yes they’ll be told to get off my property and that I’m quite capable of making up my own mind.
Possibly. I got bumped into Business from Heathrow to Singapore once when I hit Silver FF after bouncing between Perth and Melbourne for work for a few months. No complaints from me.
Incomprehensible that they didn’t.
With those sort of savings they could have been exploring Alpha Centauri by now.

I flew Ansett & Australian Airlines due to employment. Service in those days was so much better but enough now for the nostalgia. My brother was a member of the Gold Wing lounge and unfortunately lost a ton of points with the collapse.
If you are flying somewhere on the last flights of the night from Brisbane, the Brisbane QANTAS club can still represent a bit of a 6 O’clock swill. Never seen a hint of any belligerence.

or
“Ansett FF Drinking Club Foundation Member”
or
“Couldn’t get off the ground after Friday Night at the Ansett FF Club”
Lol!!!
Something like “I got drunk on Ansett’s dime and it aint no crime”
Just to regale the stories of the past, my best flights were in Learjets. You’d rock up to some shed where they’d put you in a private room with a bar. The two blokes welcoming you at the door in hi-vis would check your ID, scan your luggage and then plant you in the bar…
It did kinda scare me when they would usher me to the jet, take off their hi-vis and hop in the cockpit… that’s why the bar on the jet also came in handy lol!!!

…..Golden Wing lounge and unfortunately lost a ton of points with the collapse.
I can relate. I dropped about 200,000 points when it fell over. Still, I reckon I probably drank 1,000,000 points worth of booze so can’t say it was a total write-off. At one time you could buy lifetime Golden Wing membership. Cost about $1500 I think.
Also reminds me (although it seems nobody is around – is it swill o’clock?)… my boss, Warren Truss and a few Chiefs of Staffs were coming into land in Perth but a huge storm was brewing. The jet got called off final approach three times due to incoming RFDS flights so by the time of final approach the storm was raging.
Apparently Truss was throwing up all over the place, one Chief didn’t have his seatbelt on property and cut his head open on the roof. So there was blood and vomit everywhere.
When they were ready to take off from Perth again (it was a stopover) they couldn’t find Truss’ Chief so they rang him and he said “I’ve booked into a Perth hotel and I’m never getting on a plane ever again.”
How on earth does it fail to “capture that?” You came up with a very odd argument to support or align yourself with those advocating a ban on pharma ads.
The suicide example was to demonstrate how serious a case of adultery can become. It was an example so I apologize for the countless reasons a marriage can fail.
Well you came up with the analogy of adultery laws, which we find out were way back in time, to suggest that the US was is as much a nanny state as Australia. I judged that you would support the case against no fault.
First of all, how could one amend a marriage contract? Secondly, you brought up the case of adultery laws and I therefore assumed that we focus on that aspect of marriage failure. If two parties consent to liquidating a marriage then that’s that. Oh please, let’s stop it with this society thing. If I encountered a marriage failure it has zip all to do with you or strangers as it doesn’t impact them.
Let’s get back to the pharma discussion.

Viva, I wasn’t having a go at you. I’ve been wondering if some of the media coverage over the missing Indonesian is influenced by the fact that these young Australians who survived all come from fairly well-heeled homes in well-heeled suburbs, hence the negative commentary. It’s just a thought, I’m very cynical of anything I read in the media.
Be interesting to see if the private equity guys can get rid of Virgin when the time comes. Somebody will have earned their fee if they can.
On the other hand, an early morning Qantas FIFO (pre-COVID) got you a nice FF breakfast, partial compensation for having to check in at 0500. Haven’t gone on the bum-bandit’s airline since though.

The Australian Labor Party has been having a conference in QLD, and it’s worth noting that no “far-right” protesters have turned up to screech at, to harass and to intimidate ALP conference attendees.
Tomorrow, here in Sydney, the CPAC conference will be on, and I can guarantee you that numerous “far-left” protesters will turn up to screech at, to harass and to intimidate CPAC attendees, one of whom will be myself. No doubt the police will be there, to prevent the far-left scum from crashing the venue.
In fact, watching the news tonight, and seeing the footage outside the ALP conference venue, all I could see was footage taken of an anti-AUKUS/anti-nuclear protest outside the venue, and all the protesters looked as though they were one hundred and ten years years old!
But back to protests, anyone see the double standards here? You tell me which side is violent, you tell me which side wants to shut down free speech? It isn’t the “far-right” side.
Bourne, the products they advertise , from what I’ve seen were not pushing covid vaxes. Most of them are for various treatments such as ballsack itch or vaginal thrush.
No, I can’t imagine that, because outside of Covid, nearly all medications have to go through the laborious process of trials and studies. There are certain exceptions , which thankfully Trump eased up on, which is cancer treatment that hasn’t been tested properly. Others are repurposed drugs where the risks are better known.
Imagine that, a private corp concerned about profitability.
The “media” with respect to Covid picked political sides with the Left siding with the leftwing administration. If it were Trump, the left would have been against the vax.
Okay, but what does that have to do with the price of snapper?
Nonsense. The Right took a political position that the vax shouldn’t be mandated and it was risky. Good.
The left took a position the vax should be mandated and it wasn’t risky.
This had zero to do with with your suggestion. The leftwing media is always attacking big pharma about its profits taken from poor sick people. The right has been very critical of the riskiness of the vax and also that it was mandated.
Nothing was hidden nor held back. It certainly didn’t hold Fox from opinion.
Before we left Aust, i used to go to the Virgin Lounge (Gold Member) and it was a great way to get express check in. I always got a double take because at the end of 2 weeks flying around the country i was a bit ‘scruffy’.
Happy memories.
Don’t Kill Cash – ‘An extraordinary victory!’ | Roger Gewolb congratulates GB News on cash campaign
Not widely known….Reg Ansett originally ran trucks between Melbourne & western VIC.
The government of the day decided to put him and others out of business by legislating that Victorian Railways should have a monopoly on parcels and light freight coming out of Melbourne to regional VIC.
Ansett worked out that the skies were under federal authority and an airline was born.

Ansett was another who knew the value of having friends on the government benches. Comes with the territory if you own an airline.
Somehow, if you’re a supporter of free speech these days, by some tortuous leap of logic you are a “white supremacist,” “fascist” or “Nazi.”

Maybe indigenous Lidia should send anglo-celtic Lidia a bill for reparations which she has to spend the rest of her life working in a non-colonialist institution (i.e. not parliament) to pay off.
It’s getting that absurd.

All Indigino-Celts have the same problem.

It’s interesting that Bunurong tribe apparently only still exists because of four women who were kidnapped by sealers.

Black Ball, really sorry to have missed out on meeting you in Bendigo when we were there. You comment so well in the spirit of Catallaxy, and not just on aboriginal issues, which you know of more intimately than most who come here. You don’t deserve any casual racism which may intrude, perhaps unwittingly, in these pressured Voice times. I do know that the two blokes we met for lunch, the great Mater and 123andBush (Bushie), both impressive rural guys, had a huge respect for you and told us how much they admired you as a friend and a person well-known in the local community.
Hope you don’t mind me saying this, but sometimes the term ‘aborigines’ is used fairly thoughtlessly as an inept generalisation about slackers or sad cases. I’ve known many aboriginal people, including family members, who are far better citizens in the community than most people. They haven’t wanted to be anything other than to be equal to the rest of us.
People should well note the consistently more lenient sentences handed out to anyone but white Australians.
And despite all, who has the highest incarceration rate?
Oh, I forgot. The Australian Anthem will not be played.
Why are we being made to feel we are second class citizens and dont belong?
I agree, Razey, that the daycare centres stuff is absolutely over the top. Quite unnecessary and is clear and obvious virtue seeking. No-one needs that. It becomes insulting when it is so grandiose and lacking in genuine friendship and commonality.

The puzzling fire of Maui
Liz, I think this is far more sinister then mere virtue signaling.
History is always tough. Some of my distant ancestors – yea! the Huguenot fen-drainers of the C17th – had their wooden homes burned down while their wives and children had locked themselves in inside. The angry peasantry, the burners, had stuffed the big door locks with clay so that the women and kids couldn’t get out. This was in the Isle of Axholme area on England’s east coast.
So many instances of cruelty. We have to get over it, not dwell on it all.
What we have here is a Cultural Marxist – Day Zero – takeover Pol Pot would be proud of.
So rugby league player gets 3 years non-parole for sex that the “victim” thought was consensual until such time as a friend told her it wasn’t. Player is regularly abused on social media – judge doesn’t care. Nor does the judge care that the State tried him three times because the State wants all men in prison.
Woman gets couple of months prison for killing a man because the judge feels sorry for her receiving some mean tweets. Plus she only killed a male and that’s OK.
I’ll note that every last judge in this country applauded governments having the power to engage in extra-judicial murder (forced medication).
What a bunch of people we have in power in this country.
As promoted by Marxist activists, yes, I’d agree with you. However for the run-of-the-mill followers of virtue-signaling fashions, it probably means far less than for the Marxist originators. As with welcome to country I think it could die down fairly quickly if we had a good No vote showing people are fed up with this stuff, and some decent polices to investigate funding rorts and deliver proper services to remote aboriginal areas, while encouraging movement into employment, modernity, and into towns.
Elizabeth (Lizzie) Beare at 7:49 – I expect a lot of goodwill is being lost through The Voice. In reality, most urban Australians (in capital cities at least) would have almost no first hand experience of Aboriginals, and most of those would be negative or extremely negative. I would have none without a stint on a pastoral station outside Port Hedland as an 18yo and I doubt that would be unusual.
TBF, Pacific Islanders would have a decent claim to being treated just as poorly.
You can’t see much but you hear people having a party and suddenly it sounds like bombs falling.

Bugger. I forgot to post this because I thought it was an old one: today’s Pauline Hanson’s Please Explain.
The mathematics of reparations would be fraught. If we had a Senator (say from Victoria) who claimed to be 1/8th or 1 /16th; how much would they pay a Senator (say from NT) who was half Aboriginal?
I realise Democrat jurors don’t care about facts but it’s worth pointing out that the Georgia indictment is entirely self-contradictory.
It keeps on saying “Action X was an overt act to further the conspiracy”.
But a conspiracy *by definition* is a secret.
So if any act of Trump et al was clearly public then that proves there was no secret, ergo no conspiracy.
For example, a tweet. Or telling people to watch TV. Public act. No intent to keep a secret. No secret kept.
No conspiracy. It wouldn’t matter if Trump genuinely believed the election was stolen. All that matters is that his actions were literally the exact opposite of keeping a secret.
Willis has literally proven her case is based on a lie.
What say you Monty?
How could it be a conspiracy if Trump clearly and repeatedly told the public about what he wanted to do?
Not that it matters.
Monty will say that Willis is an expert and the consensus of CNN analysts say Trump is guilty.
