I noticed Burke was mentioned here earlier today- I retired canbra pube I was acquainted with referred to him as ‘burkie’- very cosy and very canbra. Also sickening.
Well there I go .. the park that masquerades as a back garden all weeded, gras cut & even been up on the roof & cleaned the gutters .. nothing left .. until it all starts again next week .. LOL!
Summer’s coming .. during the day, that is! .. not at, bloody, night yet brrrrrrrrh! ..!

The bit about selling seats in cancelled flights is a concern.
Correct me if I’m getting it wrong, but if I call Qantas and book a seat on a flight, then they bill my card – while knowing that flight has been cancelled – isn’t that fraud?
They have accepted payment for a product that doesn’t exist and haven’t told me the product doesn’t exist.
It smells like fraud to me.
Wodney, how did you scrape in with your criminal record?
Incredible.
I wouldn’t put money on any prediction – my Lived Experience is that most people aren’t in any way engaged with the issues.
Whichever way it lands, there is going to be a significant rump of resentment that didn’t exist before.
And, again in either outcome, this resentment will be traceable back to Albanese’s disgraceful handling of the issue against the contradictory statements by the First Nations industry and the twaddle pushed by the media and our corporate betters.
Having promised to deliver Uluru “in full” the horrid little shit had been happy to let the individual interpretation of the issues of racial preference scamper wherever they might. When, in reality, all he’s hoping for is a political parliamentary win on Voice – with a manageable offramp if No gets up.
Stew Peters Show:
Alex Jones: Maui DEWs, Deep State False Flag, Trump ASSASSINATION ALERT and EXTREME Accountability
It’s untrue in at least two ways.
Aboriginals never created a civilisation.
Much of their culture, which one might properly speak of, is redundant or forgotten
and is no longer practiced as it was prior to British settlement, so it is not a “continuous culture”, as is often claimed.
As I noted above, in attempting profundity, Beazley has merely joined the long line of Yes advocates who have demonstrated that there is no good argument for the Voice.
26 year old walloper charged with fingering teenage girl between 2011 – 2014 when the walloper himself was 14 -17. Sounds like a teenage fling gone bad and a woman scorned since the sap is getting married next month.
“We are lucky to be cohabitating a continent with the oldest civilisation on Earth.”
How about they acknowledge the advantages of modern medicine and dentistry, the ‘free’ money they get from our industry, and the fact that they were given a vote?

Terrible news out of Ukraine this morning.
My ex-husband’s nephew is MIA, presumed dead. He was a young man of 22, married with a baby on the way.
I remember when the little fella was born, very premature, in December, 2000. His dad was a bit of a loser and deserted the family when Danichka was very young and his mum had a hard time providing for the two of them, working as she did as an orderly in the small local hospital. The lad struggled through school, often ran away from home and ended up in a type of juvenile prison in Vladisvostok. He seemed to come right in his late teens, returned to his mum and stepfather, found work and got married.
Although he lived in the Russian Far East in almost the furthest part of Russia from Ukraine (except for Kamchatka) and despite having a pregnant wife, he was drafted earlier this year. His mother passed the news to my ex-husband this morning that she has been told that Daniil is missing.
Every part of me is hoping that the news is not true. My heart is just so broken.
I hate war. I hate the people who think nothing of making money from the misery and destruction of human life. I hate the pointless loss of so much human potential. I hate those who send other people’s sons to their deaths.
Luigi prepares his off ramp.

People in the village fly Bonza all the time out of the Sunny Coast to points north to visit family. They did a back to back flight Townsville to MCY (Bonza) then Qantas from MCY to Melbourne. Absolutely not impressed with the Flying Rat, Bonza – cheap and cheerful, Q expensive and surly + they were pissed of by 2 WtCs, vote yes etc etc announcements. They have sworn to stop flying Q until this bullshit stops.

How much are the ‘volunteers’ being paid in various reimbursements if not in actual time payments? Or are they simply being openly paid for work done?
Calli’s point about if you say you’re voting No your home is a target is valid.
So many ‘undecideds’.
Yeah cohenite
Do a little bit of maths and it seems like you’re probably correct.
Seconded, Luzu.
Reminded of this….
‘Naturally, the common people don’t want war … but it is the leaders of a country who determine the policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in every country.’
– Hermann Goring

Luzu, war is a horror and good men on both sides of any conflict end up dead.
Sometimes the cause is, or seems, just. And all men who fight can be heroes.
Can’t really say any more about it, but I hope this young father returns alive and well.
Hope is always there until you know for sure, when it is time to grieve.
You don’t show respect, you earn respect. The Aboriginals have not earnt it. Sorry not sorry.
The descent of the denizens of the leafy suburbs upon the homes of the mindless occupants of ‘family class’ suburbs is such an hilarious cliche.
These self appointed aristocrats have never changed. Even before they became leftists they considered themselves to be the moral and intellectual superiors of the ordinary folk occupying ‘those’ suburbs, and couldn’t resist telling them how to live.
Their every foray into the misunderstood realm of real Australia has always been rejected. As this one will be.
There are good reasons why there are no debutant Teals out there, morons.
Where are they translating “You couldn’t defend that land?”

Qantas – The flight credit thing will be studied as a brand destruction business case in MBA courses in years to come.
Indeed. Just like Gillette is now and Bud will likely.
The other aspect is the selling of flight tickets after the flight had already been cancelled. This wasn’t some computer glitch – thousands of tickets sold, some up to 42 days AFTER the flight had already been cancelled. Then, trying to get your money back became a David an Goliath struggle.
I sometimes wonder who advises these companies. Who was it that actually thought it would be a good idea to insult a high proportion of your customers – Gillette and Bud. Or, no problems here, business as usual, all rides are operational except one – Dreamworld. Or Dove, if black skinned women use our product, they can become white skinned. Not to forget New Coke of course.
WTF were they thinking. Qantas management have seemed intent over a long period to trash the brand.
Most recently, Qantas and Jetstar admit they hold $570 million (!) in unredeemed travel credits from flights cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Those credits were due to run out at the end of this year but Joyce has relented under intense pressure and the credits won’t expire. Meanwhile, and never mind that many of our customers are likely NO voters in the upcoming referendum, up yours and we will use the planes as flying billboards with free seats to YES campaigners. Cancelled flights and a host of other issues for the rest of you – meh. Get over it peasant.
Aargh. I have superglue on my fingers. A visit this morning from our son with our little very autistic grandson left us with a small cat figurine, that belonged to my mother, now less an ear. I have tried to glue it back on as I did to my Cretan bull figurine’s horns and ear. I thought if I used one of those small once-only tubes of superglue it would be more manageable.
It wasn’t. The ear went on upside down (they are tricky things) and I automatically grabbed it to put it on the right way.
I managed to knock over a bottle of nail polish remover all over my desk in the clean-up effort. You need acetone. Then I saw the label on the bottle – acetone free – but it still reeks in here. Luckily, although I was wearing my 10K diamond eternity ring which I always wear, it remains superglue free. A lesson learned, I will take it off in future when doing such repairs. And none of you better tell the Hairy one about any of this.
I’ve just been cleaning my nail polish off, I explain to him re the smell.
Rest assured these “volunteers” will be collecting information. Some of them will be kindly, decent people…but not all of them. And it’s their associates who will obligingly do any dirty work.
If the “no” vote gets up, I have zero doubt that there will be some “payback”. Particularly in smaller communities. It is part of the much vaunted culture after all.
“The longest running practical joke in Australia’s history was launched by an Australian Aborigine..”
“Vote for courtesy. Vote for a position that shows we are listening.
“We are lucky to be cohabitating a continent with the oldest civilisation on Earth. It’s a good thing for us to let that play on our minds.”
Aside from the usual appeal to fact-free emotion, yet another flatulent, faecally-loaded, morbidly obese oaf who doesn’t know the difference between a civilization and a culture, an anachronistic Paleolithic one at that.
Yet more proof that parasitising off the public tit for decades enhances one’s imbecility.
I’m hoping this stuff will have worn off by the time any fingerprints are needed. I don’t think they require them for entry to Italy. Hope not. They make you do them for entry to the US. A couple of my fingers feel concrete-tipped. Maybe I’ll chase up some real acetone.
In the past I’ve found gnawing at them can shift some of it.
Not a good look though. 🙂
Out and about as usual on a Saturday morn at both the strip shopping centre and the mall at Rockdale, I’m still yet to encounter let alone clap eyes upon any Yes activists.
Smack bang on the middle of Linda Burney’s electorate I might add.
Yes fart boy slim has never had a real job in his life. Was Beazley snr thinking about his own family with his ‘dregs of the middle class’ quip. Or maybe the Beazleys think they are upper class. Lord save us from these political parasites.
Speedbox.
I have known 2 people who were former employees of Qantas. Very tough place to work apparently if you are up in the executive. Dixon & the Leprechaun are very hard task masters from what I have been told and both prone to fits of rage.
I had around $1K Jetstar voucher that I used recently so I didn’t lose it. We had a nice 4 days on Lake Macquarie as result.
Go no further than the little midget’s taste for money. He knew he was retiring. He has a pile of options that will vest once he retires. It means he wants to see the share price up as high as possible so that when he vests he can sell out. It’s why he’s doing a massive buyback in order to try and lift the stock price. Follow the money. Although, some of the shit he pulled is brand corrosive, the gay dwarf would have bet it wasn’t immediately corrosive, especially with the huge profit result.

Terrible. Hope it all turns out ok and is merely a mistake in communications or uncertainties of the front.
There is nothing courteous about leftist posturing.
There is nothing courteous about out-of-control kids.
There is nothing courteous about domestic violence.
There is nothing courteous about child sexual abuse.
So why vote for what will only be more of the same?
Vote for some accountability.
Vote for real change in remote areas.
Vote for Jacinta and Warren.
Vote No.
I think, you’d have to be in that business doc. It’s cutthroat and you can’t have hangers on. The dwarf is really good, but he’s now very self-serving.

Agree with you. Just like Auskus, there wankas go on how bad USA is, crap on about capitalism, so when there is a threat who do they run to.
Let me recall my old accounting 101.
If the credits are in the cash line of the balance sheet, in order for it to ummm balance the other side of the balance sheet would have those “credits ” as part of the debt owed.
You cannot despise the MSM enough.

Having promised to deliver Uluru “in full”……..
From my understanding it is the Indigenous Voice to Parliament Final Report that is the most instructive. That report was provided to the Australian government in July 2021 after the Uluru Statement from the Heart in 2017.
In a broadest sense the Uluru Statement is like a ‘Policy’ statement whereas the ‘Final Report’ are the procedures. That description is not entirely accurate but the Final Report gives a very troubling insight into how the Voice will operate if it succeeds at the referendum.
Meanwhile, and in order to wash over the legitimate concerns among the broader populace, Albo and his government, the Aboriginal industry and the activists trot out the line that the Voice will merely allow Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders to have ‘a say’ in legislation impacting them. That is just dishonest. The Voice, as proposed, is a Trojan Horse that will divide the country and set up one group as superior in their ability to influence all levels of government and impact any legislation they choose.
The documentation makes clear there are no limits to the Voice’s reach and its authority is not limited to matters impacting only Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islanders. Moreover, its ‘advice’ or decisions cannot be challenged in any court – including the High Court.
yes the last few make Fraser look good
Who’s going to be the next one. Shirley they can’t be worse?
Blubbersack?
Not sure JC.
But take a step back.
These are half a bill of customer flights that haven’t been delivered.
How does Qantas (or any airline) account for flights that have been paid for but not taken as at the half year/full year balance dates?
The shallowness of talent in the majority of our pollies is bottomless.
Hadn’t heard this story before, most interesting.
The fury at rejection is going to be ugly, which I think may turn out to be a good thing. It will reveal the industry for the full malign beast that it is.
Already some information has emerged that previously was kept below the radar – such as the $39 billion. I expect most Aussies are surprised by that.
Australians are cartoonishly prone to compassion, insisting on hosing it about even where there is absolutely no merit. Over the past few decades they have been excluded from the decisions to extend more and more privileges and money on the Aboriginal industry, completely unaware of the scale, but content to let it happen because they remain certain of the tragic degradation of Aborigines that exists on the other side of our lush and salubrious horizon.
And, of course, most normies are not aware that the Aboriginal people and the Aboriginal industry have only the ever most glancing overlap.
Normies have always been solicitous of proposals to bring their deprived brethren up to an equal dignity. But The Voice is being increasingly seen as anti-egalitarian. It helps that the proponents are very visibly hostile to ordinary Australians and Australia itself.
But when the outrage is loosed upon us in the aftermath a lot of habitual goodwill is going to be brought into question. There will be an appetite for rebuttals to the accusations of racism and white supremacy and so on.
After being roundly castigated and reviled after the referendum in October, how much patience will there be, for example, for demands to dismantle Australia Day. And if the Libs have any smarts (and Dutton has made some rather astute calls) a campaign to show how much the layer of cures have caused the sickness could be a vote winner.
Especially after Summer blackouts make his talking of nuclear sound like the only sanity in a sea of vacuous sound bites.
I noticed this on the Redstate blog in the US. Its a bit like the “Stolen” generation myth.

Evidently nothing found.
Indeed JC indeed. Think I’ll keep to finding valuable stuff in the ground.
I could have ended up in aviation myself if it wasn’t for slight colour blindness. As a teenager I had a passion for aircraft and my parents couldn’t afford flying lessons so I didn’t find out till later. I discovered I had a very slight red/green colour perception difficulty after a sibling tried joining the ADF and got screened, I also can’t see all the Ishihara slides but got 100% Farnsworth lantern test. That ended my interest in commercial aviation as I was told not impossible but I had to jump through extra hoops.
I still enjoy being round aircraft though…
Or the “Frontier massacres” that were fully investigated, and found to be nothing more then “Stories My Nanna Told me.”
Ok so the Tasmanian premier posted a picture of some Russian kid (who’s a dwarf and is apparently big on social media) next to the Medicare logo. And this is taken as an affront to disabled people. So easily offended:
What? Why does this woman deserve an apology? Is she the offence lighting rod for disabled people or something? Has she been nominated as the guardian of the sensitivities of the disabled community? How many of them actually give a rat’s about this?
It’s so condescending, but moreso it’s another sign of how pathetic and decadent we’ve become. At some point in the future when we endure a genuine, serious hardship as a society, a very large number people aren’t going to survive it, but not for the normal reasons like disease or famine or war – no, they won’t be able to cope psychologically. They’ll literally be overwhelmed by trauma and it will result in their deaths.
I heard about that. Apparently they used ground radar and asserted they were human burials.
All the radar detects is disturbed earth.
Turned out the ‘graves’ were old latrine ditches.
Didn’t that unimpeachable authority, Head Case, claim that tens of thousands of aborigines were “murdered” in Queensland alone?
Well don’t fly Singapore Airlines either given there was a Singapore 777 a few minutes ahead and another a few minutes behind MH17 on the same flight path over Ukraine. If the Russian soldiers had been slightly quicker or slower it would have been Singapore Airlines facing the loss of 300 passengers and crew.
I was on a Singapore Airlines flight to London only a week before the downing of the Malaysian plane. The flight path channel was clearly showing we were over Ukraine. I’m horrified that so many people died but also relieved that it wasn’t our plane.
OCO:
Quite so, OCO.
Correct – 41,000 Aborigines, murdered by the Queensland “Native Police.”
JC posted some betting odds on the fate of the inVoice a couple of days ago.
Maybe JC and Arma could keep us updated since.. as Arma says: The book is never wrong.
Beats all the pointless chicken-entrails gazing by pollsters who don’t know their mouth from their @rse.
There will be an appetite for rebuttals to the accusations of racism and white supremacy and so on.
And it won’t just be on home soil. We can count on aggrieved Indigenes with UN connections — there are quite few with snouts in the ‘indigenous peoples’ trough — whipping up a ‘who needs the Klan when we have Australia’ riff.
Their fury in defeat will be glorious to behold.
I should have written relieved and grateful.
Areff is right — and the activist scum aren’t waiting for the vote.
Lee
He claimed that and also that one individual, IIRC son of Eliza Fraser of “that” island, ran a private army that alone murdered a couple of thousand, and that the son personally murdered an aboriginal woman on the streets of Toowoomba.
Areff:
No it won’t Arefff.
They will probably demand of the UN that Australia be chucked out. Because Racist. Or something.
That will be sad.
Here, look at my sad face in anticipation.

You don’t have to sell it to me Robert. I’m already voting ‘NO’.
The individual in question was the son of Mrs Fraser, who, together with most of her children, was murdered at Hornet Bank Station – yes, he was alleged to have murdered several hundred Aborigines in revenge, including an Aboriginal woman, who was wearing his mother’s dress, on the streets of Toowoomba.
I really hope Dillon Danis flogs Logan Paul.
Hey, if he’s not stopped he’s going to claim he will beat down the Gypsy King next.
A quick and merciful victory to Dani’s over Paul would be for Logan Paul’s own good.

Clearly DD trolling Logan Paul about his fiancé Nina Agdal’s overqualification of sexual experience has broken Paul’s brain.

This is perhaps one of the most prescient observations I have read recently. In fact, I believe I am seeing it already happening in my own circle of family and friends.
I have said on occasions on this blog that post war “affluenza” is the source of the psychological malaise in western society. It is more destructive than either Covid or the vaccines. The latter has accelerated the disintegration of their coping mechanisms, but I believe that the emptiness of modern society is the root cause of the confused thinking and lack of values.
Looking at the reporting on the many millions little Joyce is picking up for achieving his post Covid-19 recovery KPI’s you do have to wonder if the mis-sold tickets, delayed refunds, erroneous ‘passenger’ numbers and expiring credits weren’t carefully structured to support an outcome.
“We are lucky to be cohabitating a continent with the oldest civilisation on Earth. It’s a good thing for us to let that play on our minds.”
The alleged ‘Oldest Civilisation on Earth’ will send us back to where it came from and arrived. The ‘Stone Age’. FFS.
Wow – I did not know that.
aka ‘weak men create hard times…’
My brother and his family were on MH17 the day before the incident. Too close for comfort really.

Great post.
This part is quite right. We certainly have been lucky. In a very short 200 odd years, our forebears have taken this vacant unforgiving continent from the Stone Age to a modern (although lately flawed) nation. They have taken the country into the modern level of global societies many hundreds of years older than ours.
We therefore must give immense credit and gratitude to the culture that got us here- from there. The indigenous contribution to that amazing national advancement was pretty close to absolute zero. And most certainly not in any way worthy of the hard earned treasure we pour into the indigenous sector every year.
Correction;
“our forebears have taken this wild unforgiving continent”
And none of you better tell the Hairy one about any of this.

Thank for asking. My BIL is not too beaut it seems.
Yesterday they were going to wrap him up like a mummie and send him home in a few days.
Now they have determined that some burns are deep and will require the magic that they practice on burns these days. Prognosis is OK but it will take time and be painful.
Fortunately my Sister’s local primary producers group arranged for an advocate to support her with Work Cover. Essential help according to her. The initial contact left her in tears. Not the best time and circumstances to be interrogated, especially as she was not at home when the incident occurred.
Well said!
Humphrey, I think you’ll find that the reason Joyce did well in taking on the unions early in his reign at Qantas CEO was that he was being mentored by Qantas chairman Leigh Clifford — the reason that QF is now obscenely profitable for an airline — and the unions have never forgiven him/them.
In the end, Joyce was just a maths nerd with no guiding principles, with the result he’s now just another corporate crook.

The problem is that I’ve never heard of those two betting sites and don’t know enough about them. I’m quite happy to continue linking to them but can’t vouch for either.
It’s intriguing that the largest sites – that always cater for political bets- miraculously don’t carry any market for The Squeal. I can’t get it out of my head the Liars got to them and made threats against running odds on the vote.

Wodney, how did you scrape in with your criminal record?
As I’ve told you before you, Sictorian short arse FW1, I was invited here. Obviously you have some sort of learning deficiency. And at the time, I still thought that this place was a Colony, so here I am.
Please keep up those lisp induced comments. Maybe you and Mrs Stencho Pantyhose are related or joined at the hip. Ladyboys together.
Hmmmmmmmmmm.
Beautiful day here so took the kids fishing. They have an innate ability to tangle the lines lol. Got a small fire going, youngest daughter got into the carp eradication program by pulling in her first fish. Son lobbed his bait and sinker up in a tree. Good times.
When President Bush gave the ultimatum re the Iraq war as midnite loomed we were flying with our two little primary school sweeties on KLM down over southern Saudi Arabia with the Red Sea full of US missiles. They did turn back, but but not until the last minute, and the chaos at Schiphol Airport on return all the way back to Amsterdam was nothing short of cruel; so badly run. After midnite U.S.-led Coalition forces invaded Iraq and Kuwait at around 4 a.m. Baghdad time. We got to bed in an airport hotel around the same time just as the news rolled in. No-one could sleep. We have never flown KLM since.
We flew Emirates from Dubai to Moscow and flew over Eastern Ukraine and Donetsk in May 2014. That’s Donetsk down there, said Hairy, and I knew not of wot he spoke then. It was only when, not long after that, MH17 was shot down that I realised we might have been in danger back then. We also flew to Korea from Heathrow recently on Korean Airlines to Seoul and looked as though we were going over Ukraine but the pilot side-stepped it at the last minute, with Hairy pointing out Donetsk to me this time as we crossed via the Black Sea.
Malaysian recently to KL was quite a good flight. No complaints. No turns south.
We felt sorry for them when the same flight as ours just weeks later had a crazy on board and there the main issue seemed to be with poorly trained NSW security police.
Many other dubious flights in a lifetime of flying for me. Especially in small planes.

I was one of the long suffering passengers over union wild cat strikes. I was in Singapore’s Changi Airport when I found out about the grounding. Was interesting to see Asiana Network & other Asian media’s take on it compared to 12 hours later when I landed in Cairns seeing the Australian media bluster of outrage.
I fully supported the Leprechaun’s action there and still do. The Asian media wasn’t too supportive of the airline unions either.
I have flown extensively for many (say 60) years. I don’t look out the window at war zones, and don’t know why you bother.
So far anyway, there is a marked lack of advertising for either side on the Squeal. The supermarkets have none any more, and no-one is putting out their feelings on their cars or houses or apartments. I’ve not seen any in my locus or in certain travels I make. One house once in Nambucca. One car once in the inner West of Sydney.
The ‘Yes’ people don’t want to appear to be elite-led sheep and the ‘no’ people don’t want to have their houses and cars trashed. Bringing us together in total silence.
Not healthy.
Chip Bok, you magnificent bastard.
Age and term limits, as of yesterday, Cats.
If the Abo took over, the country would be a defunct 3rd world country within 5 years tops. They must shut up and be eternally grateful to being guided into the modern age as gently as they were.
The ‘Yes’ people don’t want to appear to be elite-led sheep and the ‘no’ people don’t want to have their houses and cars trashed. Bringing us together in total silence.
Lots of YES posters in Redfern and Waterloo NSW. Well, what else would you expect.
Rabz, is your radio show on tonight?
At the time, Marty told you to come here or was it his AI that suggested it? Wodney, let me explain the lay of the land to you. You post comments from a convicted felon who defrauded investors who claims to have set up a sentient AI in the 80s. You have zero credibility on any subject. You’re a dishonest grub with no moral compass. Human garbage is how best to explain you.
Tom at 4:19 – quite possibly. Certainly plenty of legacy issues and dealing with various airport monopolies. Terrible industry but Australia is stuck with it by necessity.
With Hairy it’s an obsession. He always has to know exactly where in the world he is. He has Flight Map on constantly on planes and GPS in cars and on trains. It’s genetic, in the family. His father is renowned for having read Orienteering contour maps in bed on his wedding night. A source of hilarity recounted later by his second wife, who also had first hand experience of it.
When my cousins in Louisiana many years ago drove us at night from the airport deep into the mysterious swampy Bayous with many twists and turns, way before GPS came in, Hairy had to admit, for the first time ever, he had no idea where he was. He didn’t relish it. Old Cajun grannie sucking on her corn-cob pipe told him he was in alligator country where a man only needed a map in his head and a gun. They’ve decked him out for the part and called him Rambo more or less on every visit since.

This idiocy has to stop, the whole edifice is built on the same dodgy science as climate change. Also I don’t remember this being debated in the public sphere, otherwise I would have written to my local member given the inflation rate atm:

Of course the ARA supports it, more kerching into Colesworths coffers. Woolies is now trialling forcing customers to pay for vege bags…
Parodying an old RACQ ad, Cost of living, “what cost of living?”
Royal Auto Club – an organization I have belonged to for nearly fifty years – “recognises the importance of reconciliation in building the brightest possible future for all who call Western Australia home”, and have renamed their office “Koorlup” meaning “Place of coming and going.”
Words fail me, they honestly do.
It’s a frenzy of mental illness.
Along with Howard/Reith and the waterfront, one of the ballsiest IR moves ever pulled.
I called into Redfern to my son in public housing there yesterday and didn’t see any.
He’s not in the Waterloo area and I didn’t go up Redfern Street to the station, so maybe they are up there. He was wearing a ‘yes’ t-shirt though. Told me he found it, brand new, in the street, so there are some giveaways going on there. Good for drying the dog, I suggested. He said he was only wearing it under his hoodie to keep warm.

‘Jer Koff Cretin’ you Pompous Windbag. Please keep up those lispy comments and abuse as you show your pathetic inferiority with every post.
You don’t seem to like it it when posters have a pop back at you. Stiff shite.
If you can’t stand the heat, then get out of the kitchen. You Sictorian short arse T.W.A.T………….
I called into Redfern to my son in public housing there yesterday and didn’t see any.
Plenty along Cleveland Street and up Pitt Street.

Now I know the forbidden word that sent my comment this morning into moderation.
Shame if I have to describe a bumpy ride.
Razey = glowie.
Jacinta would be ok I reckon.
He’s got the ultimate bodyguards.

If you guys could stop abusing each other, some of us might be able to use the King’s English unimpeded.
Wodney
I merely responded to your abuse. Every single time there’s been an event, you’re the one who abuses others first here without any provocation. Moreover, the reason you abuse people is because they present the fact that you’re a lick arse to a fraudster peddling laughable lies such as that he invented a sentient AI in the 80s. You’re Marty’s used condom.
I know…I know…
Where’s the fun in that?
On plane flights, the one in June took me from Narita to Frankfurt via the Arctic Circle and Pole. An additional two hours.
I don’t bother, Razey. Occasionally, for the sake of marital converse, I will glance out and try to look impressed at something Hairy is saying about where we are. On flights, you’ll never get an argument from me about swapping my window seat. I do not like to be reminded there are no moving wheels beneath us on terra firma, that we are in an aluminium cigar tube going at 800k’s per hour through the upper atmosphere in minus 65 degrees. I watch movies not the Flight Map.
Sorry Razey, that was Damon about flying over war zones and looking out.
So easy to confuse who said what.
Many other dubious flights in a lifetime of flying for me.
You hadn’t suffered in the 1970-80s until you flew Lauda Air, now mercifully gone. The Austrian-German heritage of stuffing people into cattle cars with no service informed their business model.
More recently, Aeroflot are the worst I’ve ever had the misery of flying with .
In the 80s, flying to Europe meant that sometimes you would fly near where the Iran/Iraq war was raging. I dunno how close we were because it was nighttime, but it looked like it was some distance. If you had a window seat you could be entertained by watching artillery fire. The captain pointed it out once. Was it ghoulish to think it was fun to watch/ Sure.
Up yer bum, Rabz.
The POTUS has an age limit- a minimum limit.
And a term limit- two.
The God Emperor does not belong in that ‘toon!!!

And just for ‘Jer Koff Cretin’ and his Ladyboy Cronies –
American Legal Tyranny
QUESTION: Mr. Armstrong, Being a European, I have been shocked at how Trump could be charged with 91 crimes for the same thing. I understand your analogy that if someone kills a person, it is one crime. To set a multitude of murders based on the number of bullets fired would be absurd. So how can they possibly create 91 crimes out of one? American justice seems to have collapsed entirely. It is no longer the beacon of liberty it once was, and they criticize Russia and China. Out of 177 countries on the Global list of countries for human rights, the US is 112. This Trump fiasco is showing that ranking is optimistic.
Thank you for explaining this strange case.
WN
ANSWER: They have abused the “white color” crimes and pushed them to the point of total insanity, becoming the worst tyranny in all recorded history of jurisprudence. Let’s say we both cheated someone out of $1,000. It took you ten emails or phone calls to do that, but I accomplished the same crime with just one email; that is a huge difference under this tyranny. You will be charged with ten crimes of Wire GFraud, and I will be accused of just one. It is no different from charging a murderer with multiple murders because he fired more than one bullet, yet there was only one person dead.
The American legal system has become WORSE than what the American Revolution was all about. In the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson listed among the complaints not charging the king’s agents for crimes against the people. Sound familiar with exonerating police based on killing someone by mistake? We have no right to consent to taxes; if we refuse to pay, we go to prison.
I was held in civil contempt and DENIED a trial by jury on the claim (1) it was civil and not criminal, and (2) I had no constitutional rights because corporations do not. They created a legal fiction that I was imprisoned as only a corporate officer, citing US v Braswell, 487 U.S. 99 (1988). However, if a company wants to donate to a politician, suddenly, they have a First Amendment right to do so. They can take away all your human rights on legal fiction and pretend this is justice for all and innocent until proven guilty. There is no rule of law left in the United States. Trump’s case is showing the injustice in America to the entire world. The legal system of the United States no longer functions ethically no less morally.
It took years for me to get to the Supreme Court. When the Supreme Court ordered the government to explain what was going on and they could not, they suddenly released me and told the Supreme Court the case was moot for the contempt ended. That is how they get out of things. When you finally get your day in court, they pretend it never happened.”

Ural Airlines are even worse. Aeroflot get all the good slots. Urals get the dregs. On some internal flights you have to carry your luggage off the tarmac. Flying in their old An-24’s was like rattling around inside a tin of nuts and bolts.. The onboard dunny door was sometimes a curtain, which didn’t stop the pilots having a fag. In winter, the cabin heating was red hot coolant air pipes running along the floor,against the outer walls if you touched them you’d end up with third degree burns. Stifling with no adjustment possible.
Urals motto was “STFU and just be thankful we are here.”
I believe they settled on that minimum age on the grounds that the Romans had set it as the minimum age for Consuls.
There was a time when leaders had the humility to seek out tested wisdom not their own (such as from the Roman Republic) for inspiration.
Daily Mail.
Hey Dover, check your email, Squire
Yeah Wodney, ruin the thread because of your pitiful spiteful nature. You’re so disgusting.
Johnny R, dont know why you keep posting Armstrong spam. I don’t think anyone reads it. He is a known BS artist and criminal. You’re better than him for sure.
ROFLMAO.
There was no more “civilisation” in Australia, pre-1788, than there was in any other utterly backwards native country or region.
Bluebet has no @ 1.27, yes @ 3.45
Exhibit A: Rhodesia
Exhibit B: South Africa
Exhibit C: the rest of the West
I just don’t regard making f@rting noises blowing down a hollow log, as the equivalent of a Beethoven Symphony, or a cave painting as the equivalent of the “Mona Lisa.”
Cases where armed citizens have stopped active shooter incidents
Easy Mo B and Miles Davis, Cats … 🙂
Even the pre-Columbian Aztec, Inca, and Maya civilisations were vastly ahead of Australia pre-1788, even allowing for their barbaric practice of human sacrifice.
Challenge: Can You Spot The Trans Person In Each Of These 9 Photos?
Number 9 is a challenge.
On the subject of the “oldest civilisation”, the leftard’s favourite historian Manning Clark, in the first paragraph of the first chapter of his history of Australia, stated that civilisation arrived in Australia in the last quarter of the eighteenth century.
Should he and all his works now be cancelled, and consigned to the deepest basement of perdition?

They can’t all be busily studying for their PHDs at the Henry Kissinger Peace Academy.

Nonsense. They’re both men and not hiding it.
I suspected this was a trick to get people to look at ‘cute owl’ pics.
The onboard dunny door was sometimes a curtain, which didn’t stop the pilots having a fag.
Clearly the next stop for the leprechaun of Quaintarse!
Ready to go, Rabz.
Thanks, Doves.
Thought I’d run out of new genres!
The guys at The Bee have taken that very British form of satire and self-mockery and turned it into an all-American art-form. Better than any self-aggrandising, bug-out bag, “last holdout” doyens of righteousness.
Long may they prosper. How long is the burning question.
And that’s enough hyphens from me.
The Bushmen discovered the bow and arrow, and how to boil water…
I just had a prowl of the internet betting sites looking for referendum odds.
None of the Australian or international majors are taking bets or offering odds.
I did find one bookie called “BetUS”, but on checking on its bona fides I found it has an internet address in Panama and its office is registered in Mwali, Comoros Union (islands off the east coast of Africa to save you opening Google maps) The board probably consists of various Nigerian Royal Family.
$1.29 No – $3.79 Yes, for what it’s worth.
Going down like the Hindenburg … 🙂
I bet the Leprechaun fantasizes about this moment:

I’ve flown a couple of times on leased Mil Mi helicopters. Interesting experience to say the least.
A mate who did tours of Timor has some even more interesting stories involving seeing empty vodka bottles rolling around the cockpit when the door was open and loadmasters asking for grenades to drop grenades out the window in flight.
Some things keep coming up like oil leaks and no flight suits just shorts no shirt and thongs with a toothy grin with obligatory at least one gold replacement assuring “da da all good…”
It’s an intelligence test. The brainless and sentimental will vote yes, the sceptical and rational will vote no. You only have to look at the cases put forward to see that. The yes case is sentimental tosh.
This is where we find out how big a fraction of the electorate are halfwits. I’m reasonably optimistic that the yes vote will crash and burn Hindenburg style. I don’t think Australians are that dumb.
While (non existent) Trousers down with a hostess on the business flight – yeah, Bear we don’t see you. 🙂

Factcheck- True: I did a few hops round Timor in Mi8s, and noted the following:
– weight and balance was not a thing.. they opened the rear clamshell doors and whoever/whatever climbed or was hoisted aboard without consideration
– they really did do the obligatory safety brief in heavily accented English: ‘Welkom, safety brief – we crash we die- thankyou’
– During my tour, 2 Ruskie pilots were fished out of Dili harbour with methanol poisoning – one blind, one dead.
