I gave up watching Dr Who when Christopher Eccleston finished. I’m surprised its taken this long for a black actor to be now playing him. Surprised its a straight black actor and not a black trannie.

Kamahl has done another U-turn & is again voting No.
Never forget that snowflakes like Kamahl are entertainers surrounded in his private life by other entertainers, who are 99% lefty snowflakes like them.
Kamahl has figured out that the Voice is a way of redirecting attention to himself.
Crass virtue signalling that may manage to sell a few more Kamahl albums. Sad and pathetic virtue signalling by a poor old has-been whose popular currency deserted him decades ago.

Time to retire with a good book:
‘Nimitz & His Admirals: How they won the war in the Pacific’ by Edwin Hoyt.
It’s a real page turner & an exemplary piece of narrative history from a time (1970) when the genre was in its prime. Still in print and with a new edition coming out before the end of the year.
The allies in the Pacific & SE Asian land theatres were really hanging on by the skin of our teeth in 1942.

Surprised its a straight black actor and not a black trannie.I’m waiting for James Bond to be played by a woman. Then God to be played by a woman. Then Joan of Arc to be played by a man.
The scenarios are endless. Beam me up Scotty.
The World has gone nuts.

The allies in the Pacific & SE Asian land theatres were really hanging on by the skin of our teeth in 1942.It took the first year of World War Two, in the Pacific, to weed out all the dud commanders…
Around half of the pre-War (regular USN, carefully trained in peacetime) submarine commanders were relieved “for cause” (failure to deliver results) that year, replaced by younger, more aggressive, men.

Sep 24, 2023 8:31 PMAs for inflation, the CAGR on Australian M0 (currency) growth over the last three and a bit years was 49.5% a few weeks ago.
Obscurantist gobbledigook, Dot.
Typical libertarian cowardice.
???
Your money is worth a lot less than before because the government wanted to fund itself cheaply and prolong the death of the asset market, through printing physical and virtual AUD.
That in itself isn’t remarkable, despite being sad and regrettable.
49.5% compounded annual growth rates are bloody unheard of outside of African and South American shitholes.
Which is why it was noted.
Set the chart to five years and let your learning and anger flourish.

LOL at that hopium piece about a Labor split. The only split in Australian politics recently has been the Libs from their Teal-voting heartland.
Albo looks to have royally stuffed up the referendum. Just took way too long, might have got up if it was 3-6 months ago. Smug arrogance to think it would go the same way as SSM regardless of strategy.
-
not kidding, over 18 months of so, possibly less, the most important things in a persons life have seen at least 30% increases
yeah well JC,
I remember last year
when you screeched far too often in this forum that none of it was inflationary
not the policies, not the growth in money supply, not the destruction of supply chains
none of it
… apparently

Reading the verses with some background music is my plan. What’s more, the music will be performed with the instrumentation of the dwarves in The Hobbit: two fiddles, three flutes, one drum, two clarinets, two viols and a harp. Since that leaves two instruments un-named for Oín and Glóin, I see no reason why one of those instruments could not be a resonator guitar.

To be fair dickless rub and tug has been gazonked by the 3rd nation activists who have been as open as biden is senile about their real intentions which is to have a permanent ATSIC gravy train and ultimately commie takeover.
The proposed constitutional amendment is also a hoot being, if it got up, the only constitutional section which would be pro-active towards the legislature and despite the usual bullshit about its benign nature would in fact be able to dictate to the parliament.
Even the punters have been able to figure out they are being sold a permanent boot up the arse.

Trannsie
You were obviously drunk at the time, like you usually are most evenings. So yeah, naaa. An idiot like you was suggesting the wheels were coming off and we were heading into hyper inflation. In fact, I began to become bearish when the war commenced. After feb 22, I wasn’t upbeat but the opposite. So f..k off and post bullshit about someone else sunshine.
No kidding, you’d have to be one of the biggest Debbie downers here. Always posting happy comments. Happy and upbeat, you miserable sad sack.

err, Cats – is Ron Elk related to Anne Elk?
Her hypothesis about dinosaurs being just legendary.
I got the reference, Rabz.
All brontosauruses are thin at one end; much, much thicker in the middle and then thin again at the far end. That is the theory that I have and which is mine and what it is, too.
-
yet you kept banging on about it
why is that?
Because the only way to allocate resources even during a period of shortages is to use the price mechanism. It’s the most efficient why.
And last year, after the wa,r we began to experience shortages around the world. Shortages which caused significant price increases in basic commodities . In other words a supply shock.But come up with my comments and post them here.
Go!

says the wanker that delights himself periodically by doing just that
try not to be a wanker all the time JC
Trannsie, there’s been no bigger “ wanking” than being told you’re a god oracle and everyone shits themselves when you walk into a room.
But go ahead go find what I said or stop talking to me. You’re a waste to time.
-
Pretty much everything you post here is annoying, either because it’s senseless abuse with no substance or just incoherent drivel. Trannsie, you’re just a sad sack troll with as much substance as a drop of water.
And stop repeating the word wanker all the time. Repetition is annoying so try some other word of the day to make you sound less stupid and drunk.

No vote gains more ground amid a loss of support for Peter Dutton
Exclusive
By simon benson
Political Editor
Follow3 Comments
National support for the Indigenous voice to parliament has failed to gain the expected campaign momentum heading into the final weeks before the October 14 referendum, with only slightly more than a third of surveyed voters now saying they will vote yes.
But the further decline in support has also coincided with a sharp fall in Liberal leader Peter Dutton’s approval ratings following a heated political debate over race, with satisfaction in the Opposition Leader’s performance now at a record low.
According to an exclusive Newspoll conducted for The Australian, 36 per cent of surveyed voters say they intend to vote yes. This reflects a two-point fall in the past three weeks and a continuation of the erosion in support since the beginning of the year.
It also marks the lowest level of support so far for the federal government’s constitutional model to enshrine Indigenous recognition and a voice to parliament and executive government.

One thing I can’t understand about shortages and supply chain problems because of a local European war.
What effect did it actually have, specially with manufactured products?
Even the much talked about wheat is a bit of a BS, there is so much of it on the market that Poland and other countries are banning the import of Ukrainian wheat.
Oil? The Arab states are reducing supply FGS.
I’m not an economist and than God for that, but I think it was just an excuse to wreak havoc, increase prices in the world economy.
No, not the G Bird king of suspicion, only the common garden variety greedy baskets.

Hilarious how The Project clowns focus on Kamal’s 40B$ claim as is if the actual 4.5B$ per year is pocket change.
They mentioned the NIAA “administering” $4.5 B per yr.
I’ve been around govt weaseling of statistics (particularly what something cost) to know that unless they say something like “Total money outlaid on First Nations in a year” then they’re hiding some.

There were things we didn’t commonly know, such as Ukraine was 25% of the world’s wheat exports and there were some other commodities which they either dug up or processed that were important. Then there was the oil issue with Russia and there was the gas pipeline going kaboom. It wasn’t a pretty year. All that, as we were coming out of a lockdown. It was a pretty unique set of macro circumstances. If there was no war and that side was hunky dory I think we may have scraped through the COVID bullshit much less economic tension.

DON’T TAKE ANOTHER SHOT!
BOOSTERS Increase your chance of cancer, Inhibits your cancer surveillance system.
-Dr.William Makis•2 vaccines you start be produce igG4 antibody which can disrupt your immune system
•3 vaccines+ (booster) increase your igG4 levels 500 fold
•igG4 increases from 0.04% to 20% of the antibodies your producing which shifts your immune system dramatically
You no longer produce igG1 & 3 anymore which handle cancer surveillance and viral infection

Oil? The Arab states are reducing supply FGS.
Yes, and the price is slinking up again, which isn’t a good thing. The Saudis judged that there was enough demand that would allow a production cut and cause the price to move higher. We were sitting around 80 bucks for most of the year and it now looks like it’s heading towards $US100 bucks a barrel. It’s now $90 bucks

there you go back to form … putting words in people’s mouths again
stfu you clown
Trans, it was about a month of blog abuse. You kept coming on here, night after night, drunk as usual and telling us was a shithole it was with the obvious intention of implying it was unsuitable for an aristocratic oracle like yourself. That’s no lie nor exaggeration. If you cant recall, stop the drinking. It’s easy to go check. Do so and report back.

The Oz has up an article by The Times about Russell Brand. It mentions a who’s who of “alt right” podcasters like Rogan, PBD,
Tate, Tucker Carlson etc and says they all back each other up whilst discussing conspiracy theories and the great reset etc.Comments not open but would be fun if they were.

Maybe Kamahl has just sincerely worked through the issues.
Maybe as a brown man himself he can wonder at millionaire professional aboriginals who look remarkably like the Anglos they claim ruined their lives claiming that superimposing an aboriginal chamber over a functional democracy that includes aboriginals is a solution to all problems. -
Okay
Before the war, Ukraine produced half the sunflower oil sold worldwide and more than 10 percent of the wheat, barley and corn.
I was going for memory perhaps it included Russian wheat that was also blocked. Even so, 10% of the world’s supply suddenly shut off is pretty significant.
And it wasn’t just Ukraine, the sanctions had an effect which took time for re-routing to other places not impacted by the sanctions.
EU Real GDP basically flat-lined after Q1 of 22.

A bit cryptic, what do you mean?
He’s directing the comment to me, as usual he’s trying to incite stoushing. Watch the pattern, as it really basic and funny. If a stoush is going on he posts a couple of useless comments as though he’s participating in the thread as a genuine commenter. By the third or fourth comment he’s into a stoush or trying to incite people.

The Project needs this:
The aboriginal industry.
3,278 Aboriginal corporations
• 243 Native title bodies
• 48 Land councils
• 35 Regional councils
• 122+ Aboriginal agencies
• 3 Advisory bodies
• 145 Health Organization’s
• 11 Indigenous Federal MPs
• 12 Culturally important Indigenous days
• Taxpayers give $33 BILLION annually for 984,000 people (3.8% of the population)
• Expenditure per person in 2012-13 was $43,449 on Indigenous Australian compared to $20,900 on other Australians a ratio of 2.08 to 1 and increase from 1.95 in 2009. Australian taxpayers spend at least $100 million a day on direct support for Indigenous Australians every year or $39.5 billion of direct government expenditure every single year.The figures are based on the 2017 Indigenous Expenditure Report produced by the Productivity Commission.

Recycling a quote from Gary Johns in last month’s Quadrant:
This referendum with its “simply about recognition” meme is no gracious gift. It masks the huge Uluru agenda. That agenda is stealing the future of people at Warburton and hundreds of other places. Recognition is not the same as reconciliation. There is no reconciliation in this referendum proposal—it is, as a result, an abandonment of leadership. Aboriginal parents face an awful choice. If they keep their children “safe” on country, away from the worst of modern life, grog and drugs, they condemn their children to restricted lives, with poor education, a poor diet, and few prospects.
The great lie of this referendum is that choices can be avoided. Somehow, twenty-four select delegates in Canberra will solve the parents’ dilemma. They will not; they will continue to mask the choice and, in default, make the choice for them. A slow death on country, rather than to break free, with the help of their families and guidance from outsiders on how to handle the wider world.
Johns takes the cake again.
Yes23 will try all sorts of emotional blackmail to get the Shriek up.
Well here is the emotionally laden argument to prop up the No vote; if you care about Aboriginal children getting a better future, vote No to the group keeping them down. -
I was going for memory perhaps it included Russian wheat that was also blocked. Even so, 10% of the world’s supply suddenly shut off is pretty significant.
Sounds like it but as I added, total wheat production was up in 2022. A lot of the talk re Ukrainian wheat deal was nothing more than keeping the dollars rolling into Ukraine, rather than feeding the poor.
-
Look, I’m no commodity expert, so I go with what was being said at the time. There appears to have been hoarding though as the price spiked from the beginning of the war to May.
There were also dreadful hindrances in Europe with the oil price and after the pipeline incident there were threats of severe gas shortages.
I think oil spiked to 120 bucks a barrel and gas went from about 3 dollars to 13 per unit. Europe was panicked to about sept 22.

The Productivity Commission report on Indigenous expenditure in 2017 put the figure at $33 B
This (a) is a shedload higher – almost Thirty Billion higher – than the supergeniuses on Das Projekt jibed at Kamahl over.
(b) is 6 years ago, what would today’s figure be?Kamahl is correct, The Project beta soys owe him an apology.

You don’t own this blog, so stfu shorty.
And you don’t either Nakkas, which is why I highlighted your stupid comment about Bird who’s banned here. You moron, he ruins blogs
Correct.
And also Dot at 12:13 PM yesterday articulating the many reasons Bird is a menace.
And who was the other bint who got banned for posting all that “25 famous Australians accused of pedophilia” and “children in tunnels” stuff? -
Right-wing Polish MP Krzysztof Bosak (left) delivered a ‘bill’ for 101bn Zlotys ($23 billion) to the Ukrainian embassy in Warsaw on Tuesday, demanding that Kiev repay the aid it has received after it sued Poland before the World Trade Organization for imposing a ban on grain imports from Ukraine.

Turtlehead, you were mocked because like most of the things you post, which is hyperbolic trash like the recent comment that the left could cheat enough to reach 90% of the vote in the refendum. You just didn’t mention inflation, you were predicting that the money supply increasing would end up as hyperinflation. I mocked your ridiculous claim because it was idiotic.
And because I was too stupid to understand how an economy worked.
*some reformatting done.I wouldn’t flatter you by suggesting your understanding of economics is simply stupid. I’d say that most of the things you say is moronic and embarrassing to read on this blog and I wouldn’t just limit it to economics either.
