‘Omit the part’ to end restrictions on prostitution
By Monica Doumit – September 8, 2023In last week’s column, I foreshadowed that I would write this week about Sydney MP Alex Greenwich’s Equality Legislation Amendment (LGBTIQA+) Bill 2023.
I expected that this week’s column would detail the legion of attacks on religious freedoms the bill contained, particularly when it comes to how we operate our schools and other institutions. All those provisions are in the bill, outlined in its first 17 pages, and while they are important, it is page 48 that is the most astonishing page in the bill.
Page 48 has only 16 words on it. It reads: “Schedule 18 Amendment of Summary Offences Act 1988 No 25. Part 3 Prostitution. Omit the part.” The meaning behind the words “omit the part” is a near-complete removal of the remaining restrictions NSW law has over prostitution.
…The goal isn’t only evident in this part of the bill. Greenwich is also seeking to add “sex work” as a protected ground of discrimination in the Anti-Discrimination Act. The effect of his proposed changes would be that a landlord could not treat a rental application from someone who listed their profession as “sex worker” differently to other applicants, nor a religious school insist that its principal did not also have a side gig as a prostitute.

Be interesting to see how this is handled. Vic Pol or Victorian Gov aren’t to be trusted…

There is already an Indigenous NRL Team and to stretch into Union and International rules wouldn’t be hard.At the developmental level, this has already happened in Rugby with great success.
Lloyd McDermott, Australia’s second Indigenous Rugby player and first barrister, did terrific work in funding and creating an Aboriginal youth development team/programme over many years. -
Margaret Betts obituary
Unassuming Bletchley Park machine operator who, after enlisting as a Wren at the age of 19, assisted Alan Turing’s codebreakers
Friday September 08 2023, 12.01am BST, The Times
London
ObituariesFor more than 40 years Margaret Betts never breathed a word about her wartime service at Bletchley Park, the secret code-breaking centre in Buckinghamshire. “It was only when documentaries started to appear on the TV and books started to be published that eventually she said, ‘You know, I was one of those’,” her son Jonathan said.
In 1942 the 19-year-old Margaret Booth, as she then was, had a job with the Inland Revenue but found the work “rather boring”. Her family’s life was upended when her newly married brother, Pat, was reported missing presumed dead after his ship was sunk by a German U-boat. She recalled thinking to herself: “What am I doing here, just working on people’s taxes?”
Determined to become involved in the war, she enlisted with the Women’s Royal Naval Service (Wrens). She was sent for initial training at Mill Hill School, north London, where the recruits were constantly observed. “One day, we were all called out into the hall. Seven or eight of us were told to be ready to leave Mill Hill tomorrow,” she said.
The next day she was summoned by “men in dark suits”, recalling: “I was told I was going to do some very, very secret work and I must never, ever talk about it, and I had to carry this secret to the end of my life . . . he was very emphatic.”
Betts had been selected to serve as a machine operator at Bletchley Park. She was introduced to the “bombe” decoding machine, taught how to feed in code and instructed to wait for a message to be identified. The drums whirred round and “every time it stopped we had to make a note of all the letters each one had stopped at”. She then took the results to one of the decoders, who used a captured German Enigma machine to decipher the code.
It was, she insisted, humdrum work. “We were operating machines night and day . . . You just had to stand by the machines, you had to concentrate when you were programming it and make sure it was set up correctly, and the rest of the time you were there watching it, waiting for it to come up with something.”
At first Betts was based at the Stanmore outstation in north London, recalling: “We used to dash up to London in our spare time, enjoying life.” Later she was posted to Bletchley Park itself. “We were very fed up . . . stuck in the countryside,” she said. “But looking back, we had far more fun.” Hitchhiking became a popular way of getting around, though she was astonished that no one ever questioned what a Wren was doing on the rural lanes.
She told of parties at American airbases with handsome servicemen. “They had proper food, as in Britain there was rationing but the Americans didn’t have it in the same way,” she said. On other occasions she went shopping in Northampton, overhearing gossip and rumours about Bletchley Park, including that it was a home for Wrens who had become pregnant out of wedlock. The Wrens were not keen to be thought of in that way but, she added, the cover story “rather suited the authorities”.
Betts insisted that she had been a small cog in a giant machine. “Please don’t come away with the idea that we’re all Alan Turings, because we’re not,” she said. “We were there operating the machines, we were obeying orders, we were applying logic to do what we were told to do and we were doing so efficiently and intelligently, but we didn’t design the machines for decoding. We were the service staff who were operating them.”
Margaret Booth was born in Ipswich in 1923, one of three children of Daniel Booth and his wife Dorothy (née Cubitt). Her brothers were Patrick and John. All three siblings won scholarships to Ipswich School. When war broke out her father joined the air ministry while her brothers signed up: Pat to the navy and John to the paratroopers.
In May 1945 she was in London to enjoy the VE Day celebrations but was asked to continue working on Japanese codes at Bletchley Park until VJ Day in August. Two years later she married Anthony Sneezum, whose family had founded a watchmaking business in Ipswich during the 1880s; they changed their surname to Betts. He never fully recovered from being held as a PoW by the Japanese.
They had five children: William, Helen, Clive, Jonathan and Alice. Anthony’s trauma meant that she “ran the family”, Jonathan said. For many years the only thing her children knew about her war service was that she worked in an office for the Royal Navy.
She taught at St John’s Church Sunday school in Ipswich and after Anthony’s death began to travel the world on her own. In her seventies she learnt Italian well enough to play Scrabble in the language but gave up on Sudoku puzzles because they were too easy. In her eighties she returned to visit Bletchley Park.
Asked by Jonathan in a video interview why it was not until the 1980s that she told him and his siblings about her contribution to the war effort, Betts replied: “Well, I signed the Official Secrets Act. We were told never to tell anyone. But it’s obvious now people are all talking about it.”
Margaret Betts, Bletchley Park machine operator, was born on December 27, 1923. She died on August 26, 2023, aged 99.

Maybe linked to the arrests of the cultural enrichment team preying on school kids.
May be clouding my judgement atm. Just looked at a few Age pics before the narrative is woven and could be some idiot losing control of a car also looking at the google maps of the intersection.
Will wait and see I suppose, already txt’ed a family member in Bendigo who is a tradie with links to boys working Melbourne building sites. I suppose I’ll hear plenty of gossip in the next couple of days…

You know, we really do live in a time where we are now surrounded by progressive cretins who endlessly push nonsense of diversity, equity and inclusion.
Just watch this, a few days ago, at the Venice film festival, these two Danish directors had to put up with a cretinous question from an imbecilic journalist who asked the directors why their film wasn’t more “diverse”. Watch the director on the left roll his eyes in dismay.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HduZFoUOE3I&t=13s
The director on the right calmly said it is just an historical fact that Denmark in the 1750s, the time the movie is set in, wasn’t a particularly “diverse time”.
Fuuuuuuuuccccccckkkkkkkkkkk.

My pleasure, Johnny Rotten. Mme Zulu and I visited Bletchley Park, and were shown over it, by another of the wartime Wrens. Her father was a World War One veteran, and she was an only child, but she was able to tell her father before he passed that his daughter had made her contribution for King and Country.

The End of Dinner, Jules-Alexandre Grün, 1913
Just before “the lights went out (in Europe) and we will not see them lit again in our lifetimes”.
WW1. The greatest cataclysm in human history. Far, far worse than any meteor strike or volcanic eruption, or even the fall of ancient empires – and what purpose did it serve?
I’d ask “discuss”, but it’s a Friday night, Cats!
On a brighter note, the Sydney Toikeys are being hammered by Carltonini.
Thus demonstrating the vacuousness of modern life (which is rubbish) again … 😕

Re. ‘closing the gap‘: The problem is the people and organisations that have positioned themselves in that same gap, with no intention of moving out or aside, because they find that gap very, very comfortable and suited to their needs. It’s like trying to evict a possum from its cave in the shed: They’ll scratch your face off without blinking.And they have many, many supporters who – in the effort to garner virtue points – help the possum scratch away, at the expense of the people who actually need help. Their virtue total means more to them than does a hungry and frightened child.

Interest6ingt that the Oz mentions drugs pretty much only in the headline (as I write… no doubt lots of room for change!), but does get around to a comparison with “drug addled James Gargloulas”.
The fact that the bloke was dressed in a white caftan and sat on the bonnet of his car when it was done is, errm, odd. Most strange, I would think, that someone so drug-crazed as to plough through people would stop, and go all Zen on his bonnet.

Oh, and the signs over the train doors on the inside also tell you what side the platform will be on so people can line up and others get out of the way before even reaching the platform.
They actually announce that too, in English, and, I presume, Japanese.
Today we caught the delightful little purple train, one carriage only, there, and then two carriages back, to the bamboo forest, which was busier than Burke st, not quite ah the serenity.
Though the observation platform in the gardens beside the forest, looking down into the gorge wasn’t anything like as popular, and came with a free fresh breeze.
If you can’t be bothered walking up to the forest you can rickshaw with a fellow wearing short shorts and what we called cow shoes or taxi up in either a black Toyota Crown or a red and white Toyota Comfort.I wondered why face washers were for sale everywhere but finally realised they are used as perspiration moppers, and there is plenty of perspiration that needs mopping.
Though it finally feels like the evenings are getting a little cooler.
I bought a Japanese version of a lemon granita too, they use the lemon, skin and all, didn’t mind the zest, choked a bit on the pith. -
ZuckerFraud.
Rachel Alexander
@Rach_IC
????????The testimony by the first witness Trump’s attorney John Eastman called to put on his side of the case in his disbarment trial has been nothing less than explosive. The trial ended for the day with more bombshells. He revealed that the Zuckbucks, $8.8 million from Zuckerberg’s Center for Tech & Civic Life (CTCL) provided to Wisconsin’s five large cities, violated the law. He said he doesn’t call them “grants,” he refers to it as “employment contracts,” since the CTCL employees actually go work with the clerks’ offices and get to see information about voters that the public can’t access as easily (the public has to pay $12,500 for voter roll info, only gets a snapshot of that instant, and usually has to wait 4-5 days for it, so there’s no way to determine whether someone was made active 2 weeks before the election then deactivated 2 weeks after the election). Also since if the clerks don’t comply with CTCL’s requirements, they have a huge penalty of giving money back. Those CTCL employees are able to determine if a voter was likely to vote for Trump or Biden. They were allowed to see voters who had requested ballots but hadn’t returned them, then go chase them down to get their ballots. The CTCL employees were “embedded” in the clerks’ offices and “running the elections.” Yet the Zuckerbergs had made statements they wanted to defeat Trump. He also said votes were “illegally cast” that were dropped off in the drop boxes, since the drop boxes violated the law by not being placed near the clerks’ offices – which the WI Supreme Court reaffimed; instead the clerks let CTCL dictate where they must be placed. The guy the Zuckerbergs hired to run this had written a book on how to defeat Trump, where he said the election would be won dueling it out block by block in these types of big cities. -

the Lib Dems
John Ruddick – “the gliberal party doesn’t give a rodent’s backside about John Ruddick’s opinions on how to reform the gliberal party” …
Which is why he is now a Liberal Democrat.
I still maintain this is a huge mistake. If non collectivists are to attempt to peacefully take back government in Oz (and hopefully soon at that), we need to infiltrate the gliberal party (which BTW, in Qld, is known as the “Johalition”).
Otherwise it’s just screaming into the void. Which will not be screaming back at me, thanks very much, I tells ya. 😕

I see lots of talk about how the Dems ease out Biden without “easing in” Kamala!, especially on the left, in the US. Good Plan on the face of it.
Also, about who on the R side is the best option (did I actually see one poll comparing Haley v Biden?) to run against either Biden or the hypothetical replacement, who isn’t Kamala!
Don Surber has a piece tonight (“Kamala Can Win”) which got me thinking that all this makes a key assumption…
Hypothetical :-
Biden dies of [insert disease of old age here], quite suddenly.
Kamala! assumes the Presidency, obviously.What happens next?
On the D side, do they have any feasible way of not having Kamala! run in 2024? I can’t see it…
If they are up against Kamala! what is the optimal GOP opposition? I don’t want to make this some RDS v DJT thing… sort of more wondering if a return to an idea floated waaaay back might not be a good idea. DJT with RDS as VP.
Not sure you want to be running an old bloke without also a proven track record in the VP if the previous President has just popped his clogs from old age. Yes, egos will get in the way! But if not that combo, what (that the GOP base will tick off)?
Just a thought experiment… I obviously harbour Biden no ill-will (of that variety).

Another feature of the on air discussions that I have gathered…they’re talking about legislation in lieu of the No vote winning. Big mistake. All it means is that the will of the people simply doesn’t matter. It’s what the politicians want that counts and they are above such tawdry inconveniences.This was an aspect that I put to my Australia Wide FB Readership – Both of them – that the government was so dismissive of our efforts and feelings on the Voice thingy, that they were going to push it on to us whether the Referendum was passed or not. The fact that the Qld and WA governments were determined to push it through made it an easy and believable claim to make.

No, of course not.

The whole of Canberra is one big middle finger to the rest of Australia well exemplified by the shape of the Parliament House. The people populating the city, staffers and advisers, are far from the general population in attitudes and interests that they cannot know how the rest of us live and what we think.
I don’t know what the solution to this is as even the staffers and advisors brought from the regions soon get absorbed by the Canberra blob. One thing that could help is to hire older staffers who at least have some life experiences apart from social media savvy. I have ranted about this previously that ditzy twenty-somethings are not suited to purpose but seem the only ones who are hired.Wot Crossie Sed.

Biden dies of [insert disease of old age here], quite suddenly.
Kamala! assumes the Presidency, obviously.What happens next?
On a hypothetical put forward by James Morrow on his US Report tonight the Demons continue on happily as usual being run by Obama and his acolytes. If Biden is a puppet, simply now a useful walking corpse, then Kamala will up the ante on puppetry, with even more chance of being a totally amenable puppet than Joe (who has his snarly nasty moments of foot stamping for his ice cream). Kamala will be a dopey and ditzy you-go-cackle gurrl, which will go down well enough with the Dem women, not many of whom are deep thinkers. Thus, Obama for his fourth term. He’s said as much earlier on in that clip about needing his third term via a puppet with an earpiece.
Always done in plain sight, says Hairy softly.

Plus my actual TV died the other day.Dot, welcome to the world of the disconnected.
I bless the day our TV shit itself in 1985ish.
Since then I’ve had several TVs given to me by family who I regularly promise will move to the next stage of TV ownership by attaching it to the power point in the wall. Then I can enjoy the ecstasy of flipping that switch to the ‘On’ position.
At some stage I will try the ‘autotune’ function.

I cheated the other day, watched Barbie without paying a cent. What a waste of time, my cheating was justified. There are some FTA programs I watch. I do that through their online resources. For movies, I prefer South Korea, Russia, Japan, and a few European countries with France being a leader across most genres.

The TPD insurance is hard to access & getting harder.
The other aspect is that even if you have multiple super accounts with TPD on all of them, guess what, only one pays.
Which is why the insurers love it.
Nothing better than writing a policy that rarely pays.It’s not just TPD.
There would be a fixed monthly fee element on every account.
Ker-ching.
A couple of interesting parallels popped up again today.
We had a banking Royal Commission. Australian Super (maaaates) escaped scrutiny.
We had a child abuse Royal Commission. The number of cases in public institutions? Apparently it was zero. -

About two years ago IIRC. Apparently multiple western women were involved in the ordeal, ordered by a Quatari policeman. -

Many a word said in jest, Cassie.
The DINK cohort is well ahead in the PS and in Health, the gay cohort are raking in the promotions. I don’t know what it’s like in the ABC, but when I left Health in about 2013, you could see the patterns evolving.So, what’s your point? Much like Western Europe and the USA, but at least Russia doesn’t celebrate LGBTQI+ and so on. Here in the West it’s now compulsory.
