The elderly, the infirm, children under 12 (girls) and 13 (boys), soldiers on duty are not permitted to fast, in fact it’s forbidden.

I thought pregnant and nursing mothers were forbidden as well?

More Evidence that U.S. Intelligence Analysis is Broken and Politicized

Latest bribery allegations severely undermine CIA credibility and may gravely damage national security

Last week, American Greatness reporter Debra Heine reported a bombshell story that a “highly credible” CIA whistleblower has told the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic and the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence that the CIA “bribed” six of its analysts with significant financial incentives to change their initial conclusion that the COVID-19 pandemic originated from a biolab leak in Wuhan, China and to instead conclude that the virus emerged naturally.

This is the latest of a growing number of reports in recent years of politicized analysis by U.S. intelligence agencies that are not just undermining their credibility but may also be doing grave damage to U.S. national security.

The new allegation helps explain several examples of biased Intelligence Community analysis of the pandemic’s origins that appeared to favor the natural origins theory over the lab leak theory for political reasons. It appears that U.S intelligence agencies were determined to support the view of the mainstream media, the liberal elite, and the Biden Administration on the origin of the virus and not the view of American conservatives and former President Trump that it was created by China in a biolab and leaked from that lab.

The most recent unclassified Intelligence Community report, released on June 23, 2023, said five intelligence agencies determined the COVID-19 pandemic likely emerged naturally and was not linked to a Wuhan biolab. Two other agencies, the Energy Department intelligence office and the FBI, concluded the virus originated from a “laboratory-associated incident.” CIA reported that it could not determine the origins of the COVID-19 virus due to conflicting reporting.

According to the Washington Times, Dany Shoham, a former Israeli military intelligence officer, assessed that the June 2023 intelligence assessment appeared to be “deliberately agnostic regarding the virus’s origin” and “designed to support the Biden administration’s new policy of engagement and lowered tensions toward China.”

There also was controversy surrounding an April 2020 intelligence assessment that concluded the virus “was not manmade or genetically modified.”

Not only was this assessment probably issued to discredit President Trump’s statements about the virus origins, it was reportedly hurriedly issued without White House approval to get it out before John Ratcliffe, an outspoken critic of China for its role in the COVID pandemic, was confirmed as Director of National Intelligence in late May 2020.

They Want You Dead

Some progressives would be happy to see conservatives dead.

Why? Because we strongly question government’s role, direction, intent, and motives and resist the control they wish to exert on us. We’re an existential threat to their endgame.

No longer free, Constitutional citizens, they intend us to become sterilized worker bees; if not, we’re a threat to the hive and must be eradicated. They think they can make you disbelieve your eyes and ears, believe you’re just imagining all the changes, hoping you’ll go back to sleep as some have.

We live in a civil society where the Rule of Law was to be our universal bedrock guarantee even as it dissolves right before our eyes through government actions and inactions. Thousands are dying in the streets through unrestrained violence and drug use. In Chicago, they’re even trying to schedule gang wars and shootouts at a specific time of day!

Politicians’ mouths move, words come out, but their actions reflect their partisanship, not their citizenship.

Too few see the venom of the Left as revealing their real endgame.

President Trump wasn’t responsible for any of this.

Trump was like a truth elixir that revealed what was always there for others to see. The Left was/is working like subterranean termites eating away at our foundations.

The progressives want to end anyone and anything that stands in their way of a reimagined America as an exemplar for the rest of the world. They hope other countries will copy or be forced to adopt their ideas for a New Utopia, which is much more malign: 1984 made real.

The reinvention of America is a necessary step toward one world government run by elites, all while wearing the trappings of the ‘caring’ Left. Their policies are designed to carry the votes of women, minorities, and especially the idealistic or disenfranchised young who seek security and free stuff above all else.

The evidence is clear. More people each day see the truth as civil society devolves around them. And they are frightened! The suspension of gravity and disbelief evident for so long is slowly ending, and they know it.

Conservatism is all that stands in their way.

To win, they must not only demagogue and parse our history and the meaning of truth itself but fool the masses into believing everyone can have it all without effort or smarts.

Conservative courts, conservative politicians (as few as there are), our very Constitution, capitalism, and our history of success in every meaningful way, including economic, military, and social, are the enemies they must destroy.

the continued appearance of neo-Nazis at protests

In the past 3 years there have been Eleventy-Leven protests, in every state capital, the national capital, & every regional city of more than 30,000 people.

There have been Two (2) appearances and two only, of ‘neo-Nazis’ at a protest. In Melbourne only, nowhere else, with no overt or identifiable exhibition of any specific Nazi ideology.

It’s what the Tanakh (the written and oral law) says. It has nothing to do with menstruation, a young girl becomes a woman at 12, however she might not yet be menstruating, a boy will become a man at 13 with his Barmitzvah. I didn’t start menstruating until I was fourteen

Apart from that, there’s not much. Nobody wanted anything to do with them, cops told them to move on, coz “Voice = anti white” is far more serious than “Burn Down this Shit”, “Death to Australia”, “Submit or Die” & other placards that have been carried at protests in Victoria without any police interference.

No reports of them murdering people in the CBD (bikies did that, religion of pieces did that), no reports of them belting innocent people up (antifa & leftists did that, cops did that) no reports of them plotting any bombings or murder (religion of pieces did that) no mention of them targeting non-whites alone on late night trains (horn of africans did that) no mention of burglaries with violence (horn of afrika)

The [postal] votes are held, without scrutineering or monitoring by an organisation fundamentally opposed to the Right.

Rosie
Sep 24, 2023 1:26 PM

If you are concerned volunteer to scrutineer.

Oh Rosie, don’t ever change.

Maintaining both authenticity and secrecy of a ballot is easier when the issuing, marking, and voting all happens inside the one monitored area. Postal votes are more difficult. To show the election is secure requires showing there is no economically and technically feasible way to change the end result without being detected. This requires some argument about the non-scrutiny part of the chain occurring prior to the polling place on election day.

The postal vote certificate and the unique codes on it are supposed to achieve authenticity by being read through a removable window on the envelope while still keeping the ballot and certificate together inside. They can count total ballots before reading or counting the votes on them. The certificate and ballot stay together and they are both viewed at the same time when the envelope is opened.

Just using a fake total in the final tally room would only succeed if the people from the polling place could be induced to say nothing about the mismatch between reported total and their own written notes from counting, and stay quiet forever. Very risky and unlikely to be attempted.

Due to the use of physical ballots, all other options for fakery have a cost of physical work done to interfere per ballot. Any interference in the in-person Election Day votes is impossible without every scrutineer being in on it.

If fake people can be added to the electoral roll up to say 10% fake, a close election could be rigged without needing to interfere with any received postal votes and probably without anyone noticing there were more votes than real people. This is probably the easiest option.

Aside from fake voters, attempting to spoil the postal votes of one side could not be done as any analysis of the donkey votes by scrutineers would show the huge bias.

The only remaining option is switching the votes on postal and declaration (away-from-home) ballots between their casting and the counting. The only assurances AEC gives here are that only authorised persons can get to the votes and they are transported securely. Scrutineers do not follow all of these ballots in this journey, so the envelopes are in the highly trusted hands of the AEC (and AusPost) during that phase.

Opening the envelopes and putting a substitute ballot inside a new envelope alongside the original certificate could be automated but would still take time for hundreds of thousands of postal votes. Oddly enough, we are also told that this transport phase does take time and to be patient. Hmmm.

Well all I can say there is that I can’t remember an election being decided on the postal votes, it’s just never been that close. This rigging possibility remains purely theoretical.

Voice to Parliament: Bi-partisan committee to oversee Voice legislation if referendum succeeds
Dan Jervis-BardyThe West Australian
Sun, 24 September 2023 11:12AM

A bi-partisan parliamentary committee would oversee the development of legislation to create a Voice to Parliament if the referendum succeeds, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has announced.

Mr Albanese said he wanted as “broad as support as possible” for the design of the Indigenous advisory body which would be established if the Yes campaign wins on October 14.

A successful referendum would only enshrine a Voice to Parliament in the constitution.

It would be up to the Federal Parliament to pass legislation which sets out the specifics of the model – including how many members would sit on the Voice.

In an attempt to diffuse some of the political division surrounding the referendum, Mr Albanese on Sunday announced that a parliamentary committee with Labor and Coalition co-chairs would bet set up to oversee that process.

Mr Albanese said he had discussed the proposal with Liberal leader and Voice opponent Peter Dutton over the weekend, having flagged it earlier this year in talks with him and Nationals leader David Littleproud.

“I think it’s important that if Australians vote Yes, that we move forward together to put in place the legislation with as broad as support as possible, in order to show the same spirit that we’re asking Australians to show by voting Yes, on October 14,” Mr Albanese said in a speech to launch Uniting Church’s Yes23 campaign.

The prospect of the committee ever being set up appear to be small, with opinion polls suggesting the referendum is on track for defeat.

The Yes campaign is not losing hope, believing there are still millions of Australians who are yet to decide settle on a position.

Mr Albanese on Sunday highlighted the example of singer Kamahl, who reversed his opposition to the Voice after educating himself about the proposal.

Andrew Bolt:

I thought the signature on one of 650 online replies to last Thursday’s column on the Voice must be fake. “Robert Richter KC”, my foot.

It rang false from the very first word: “Dear Andrew, you are despicable.”

No, Richter, my fellow George Pell defender, couldn’t have written this moralising fact-free abuse, a perfect example of all that’s wrong about the Yes campaign.

After all, he’s the barrister who defended Cardinal Pell from false claims that he’d sexually abused two teenage boys.

Richter had dared defy a self-righteous mob. He seemed to know the critical difference between a feel-good falsehood and the truth. He knew you couldn’t be more moral by doing something stupid and unjust. Surely!

But I was mistaken, as I found when I sent Richter the post in an email headed “impersonation alert”.

He indeed wrote this abusive and misleading tirade, thus reminding me Yes crusaders could still hurt Australia even when the Voice gets defeated in three weeks:

“Dear Andrew,

“You are despicable in your deliberate twisted and deceptive effort to set back the cause of fair and honest discourse about race and good sense. Why should not the most discriminated and oppressed First Nation people be constitutionally recognised and at least given a hearing when they make a representation to parliament or the heads of governmental powers, about matters directly affecting only them!

“All that’s asked for in this referendum is that they – who according to the High Court are the only people who have never ceeded sovereignty – are at least listened to.

“You of all people should know the difference between listening and mandated obedience.

“Whether the parliament or executive accepts their advice or not is a matter for the parliament or ministers of the day; but at least that advice will be proffered by people most intimately knowledgeable of the issues and problems of our grassroots victims of racism and oppression.

“You ought to be ashamed of yourself for dissembling and knowingly false misrepresentations about the voice when you actually know, or should know, better.

“Robert Richter KC”

This was my online reply, before Richter told me he was indeed the author:

“This emotive, abusive, tribalist and deceitful rant – filled with straw men and devoid of any example of my ‘knowingly false misrepresentations’ – does not strike me as the careful work of Richter, who I admire for defying exactly this kind of bad-faith attack in defending George Pell.

“This, for instance, is false: that the Voice would give ‘them’ a say ‘about matters directly affecting only them’.

“The words in the referendum proposal nowhere include those critical words ‘directly’ and ‘only’…

“And this is a straw man: ‘You of all people should know the difference between listening and mandated obedience.’ I have never said the Voice would compel ‘mandated obedience’…

“I have said only what even a pro-Voice constitutional lawyer, Greg Craven, has admitted: that the High Court could very well compel politicians and public servants to heed or even seek the representations of the Voice before acting, leading to delays, at the very least.

“Another misrepresentation: you falsely imply Aboriginal Australians are not consulted already. I direct your attention to the more than 30 big land councils, the Council of Peaks, and the National Indigenous Australians Agency, just for a start. The Council of Peaks, for instance, is in formal partnership with all governments in closing the gap…

“So no to dividing us by race. No to giving a selected group of activists the potential power to delay government decision-making.

“No to enshrining a body in the constitution without even knowing how it would be selected, what it would do, how it would improve matters and how it would work.”

Here’s the problem, When even a Robert Richter argues as he does, the danger is clear.

Too many Yes campaigners think in crude stereotypes, the worst of which is that No supporters are just lying, ignorant racists.

We can’t let this become the accepted explanation when Australians do reject the Voice. Telling that lie to our children and the world would be hugely damaging.

So a plea to Yes supporters?

Treat fellow Australians instead with respect. When they vote No on October 14, accept that as their considered judgment – not the twisted work of Nazis, racists, fools and a lying media.

Accept that Australians simply thought about this radical and formless plan to divide us by race, and decided it was not wise.

That would be safer and more honest – and much more civilised.

m0nty is defending communism & communists (Mayo, BLM, Antifa, BDS*) again and shitting on a tiny fringe group of Nazis no one cares about.

Here are some notes I prepared earlier. Antisemitism is rife in communism too. Mayo, Phil Adams, Lee Rhiannon etc should take a good hard long look at themselves:

– – – – – – – – – – – – –

***When you take a deep dive into the inherent racism in the far left, things look grim:

“…the Communists everywhere support every revolutionary movement against the existing social and political order of things… They openly declare that their ends can be attained only by the forcible overthrow of all existing social conditions.”

– Karl Marx and Frederick Engels, The Communist Manifesto (Penguin Books, 1985, originally published in 1848), p.120.

It gets worse!

“We would be deceiving both ourselves and the people if we concealed from the masses the necessity of a desperate, bloody war of extermination, as the immediate task of the coming revolutionary action.”

– V.I. Lenin,” Lessons of the Moscow Uprising,” Proletary, No.2, August 1906 (as posted on Marxists.org).

As for violent antisemitism:

What truth is there in this argument? Marx’s essay, On the Jewish Question, originally published in 1844 contains the following:

What is the worldly religion of the Jew? Huckstering. What is his worldly God? Money.…. Money is the jealous god of Israel, in face of which no other god may exist. Money degrades all the gods of man – and turns them into commodities…. The bill of exchange is the real god of the Jew. His god is only an illusory bill of exchange…. The chimerical nationality of the Jew is the nationality of the merchant, of the man of money in general.

Marx argues that, “In the final analysis, the emancipation of the Jews is the emancipation of mankind from Judaism.” Larry Ray explains, “Marx’s position is essentially an assimilationist one in which there is no room within emancipated humanity for Jews as a separate ethnic or cultural identity.” Dennis Fischman puts it, “Jews, Marx seems to be saying, can only become free when, as Jews, they no longer exist.”***

*NOW we know why BDS exists at all.

I can’t wait for VIC POL to arrest all of the communists, not because it is good for civil liberties (indeed, they should be all released unharmed and the law swiftly repealed that day), but because it would mean consistency, honesty and rule of law still exist in Australia. The commies would be the most strident free speech advocates all of a sudden.

The problem is in Melbourne, there wouldn’t be enough space in the lock-ups – they’d need to use the MCG.

A better alternative, of course, would be to repeal the stupid anti-free speech laws we have here in Australia.

Saving the Future –

“Saving the Future is not going to be easy. Kevin McCarthy is an absolute disgrace, but it should not be a surprise that he has no problem sending endless money to Ukraine and sending millions of people to their deaths because that is the Neocons’ dream. Coming from California, probably the most corrupt political state in the nation and morally bankrupt, we should not place any hope in McCarthy to prevent World War III.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov called Ukrainian proposals for restoring its pre-invasion territory absolutely laughable. Unless the Ukrainians wake the hell up and remove Zelensky by force, they will NEVER have a country to return to. The West does not care about them. They are cannon fodder for the Neocons, who care about nothing but their insane wars. There will not be a wonderland of investment that Zelensky is preaching. Lavrov has thrown down the gauntlet, for Putin cannot ignore the hardliners who have been right all along – they are at war with the USA and NATO, not Ukraine.

Lavrov said that they could have war if Ukraine’s allies wanted war. Behind the curtain, these warmongers are creating World War III, and this war is likely to go on for years.”

Jacinta Price intervenes on NAAJA crisis

EXCLUSIVE
By ellie dudley
Legal Affairs Correspondent
@EllieDudley_
4:14PM September 24, 2023

NT Senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price has intervened in an ongoing crisis tearing apart Australia’s largest Indigenous legal body, following reports of employees allegedly self-harming and exiting the organisation in droves.

Senator Price, along with opposition legal affairs spokeswoman Michaelia Cash, wrote to Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus and Indigenous Affairs minister Linda Burney last week concerning reports in this masthead of corruption, fraud and bullying within the North Australia Aboriginal Justice Agency.

The letter concerned new allegations that NAAJA employees are “self-harming, and are stressed to the point that they are unable to provide appropriate services to clients.”

“It is alleged that a significant number of NAAJA employees have resigned over recent months, and that the agency now faces multiple compensation claims for injuries related to its workplace culture,” the letter, obtained by The Australian, reads.

“These matters are said to be causally linked with the current administration of NAAJA. We do not express a view one way or the other on the veracity of the allegations.

“However, the allegations are very serious and, if true, go directly to the safety of employees. Urgent action is required to provide assurance that the Commonwealth is not supporting arrangements that are harming employees, whether directly or indirectly.”

The letter continued: “We ask that you take steps to ensure that these matters are urgently investigated. If current administrative arrangements at the agency result in unacceptable risks to employee safety, we further ask that you intervene to take whatever steps are available to address those risks, including providing appropriate care and services to support staff.”

Senator Price’s intervention comes a week after the Auditor-General Grant Hehir was urged to probe the alleged misuse of millions of dollars in taxpayer funds within NAAJA, with Senator Cash pressing the Australian National Audit Office earlier this month to investigate the near-$20m provided to the agency every year.

“We note that NAAJA describes itself as ‘contracted by the Commonwealth Attorney General’s Department (AGD) to provide Criminal and Civil Law services to Aboriginal people and their families in the Northern Territory,” Senator Price and Senator Cash’s letter reads.

“We ask that you take into account the view that conduct within NAAJA may be seen as a reflection on the Commonwealth, and on the Attorney- General‘s portfolio in particular.”

The Australian over the past few months has revealed explosive allegations amongst senior staff members of NAAJA, two of whom currently employed.

The Australian understands the NT Independent Commission Against Corruption is investigating the allegations, many of which have come to light in a Federal Court case filed by ousted CEO Priscilla Atkins, who alleges she was fired from NAAJA after discovering the corrupt conduct of finance chief Madhur Evans and chairperson Colleen Rosas.

Ms Atkins claims Ms Rosas appointed her friends to senior positions within NAAJA, and requested her pay be given to her on a credit card so as not to alert the tax office and threaten her Centrelink pension.

Ms Atkins alleges Ms Evans made a discreet $20,000 payment to Ms Rosas, and left her mobile phone in offices to record unsuspecting colleagues, and bullied NAAJA workers.

I won’t change as I think the hand wringing about large scale electoral fraud is just a faux import from the US.
There is huge scope in the US because it doesn’t have compulsory voting and elections are controlled by states, in Dem states, that seems to mean Dem machine is in charge.
In Australia the capacity to create large scale quantities of false voters, can’t see how that would be in any way feasible.
Anyhow I’ve just organised postal votes for two definite no voters, could be crucial.

Colonel:

Opening the envelopes and putting a substitute ballot inside a new envelope alongside the original certificate could be automated but would still take time for hundreds of thousands of postal votes. Oddly enough, we are also told that this transport phase does take time and to be patient. Hmmm.

What it comes down to, Colonel, is that the system has a hole in it where the votes aren’t secure.
That’s the issue, and our concerns aren’t being addressed. In fact the refusal by the AEC to come out and make a statement says to me they are running out the clock so they can say, “Look, it’s too late to do anything about it. You’ll have to accept the result, but promise we’ll address the issue for the next Referendum.”

It would be really hard to do here, I think. We have compulsory voting and fines for people who don’t vote without a reason.

The fines + the genuine absentees + the voters would equal the number of expected voters. I haven’t thought about individual electorate-level voting, but it would also be hard to do for the same reasons. It’s the national vote in the referendum that would make it hard to cheat because of the equation. I think the only way to do it is to remove the almost exact number of ballots and add in the forged ones, all ticked yes, and it would have to be done in every state, etc., with scrutineers watching.

In the US, you have a low level of supervision of the chain of custody, and in places like Philly and other urban areas, there is almost no supervision, and if there is, they would be in on the cheating.

My earlier point about Australia is that it would be found out much easier.

I won’t change as I think the hand wringing about large scale electoral fraud is just a faux import from the US.

This my lived experience. I have worked 5 elections, 3 as a grunt ( prepoll and the ‘official’ count twice as 3 on the day), 1 as a 2ic and 1 as a PPM.

Other than boxes of votes being lost in transit(WA senate), it is very difficult to commit election fraud, other than voting multiple times.

Vote boxes are assembled but not sealed until a member of the public has had a look to make sure the box is empty before it is placed into use. Also the boxes and seals are accounted for.

HOR Votes are counted on the night, the PPM has to account for every ballot paper, and at most a -5 discrepancy is accepted, if more than that, workers go through the bins looking for discarded ballots which are put in a seperate envelope with any spoiled ballot papers and kept away from the rest.

When the rolls are scanned, there is a check that the number of ballots issued matches the numbers of people who had their names crossed off. It is a real pain in the arse if you get your name crossed off and walk away as the person at the table has to call the 2ic/PPM to put the ballot you should have taken in a “spoilt vote” envelope otherwise you ballots issued and received counts will quickly get out of whack. They are accounted for.

Scrutineers from any party that has the manpower watch the count, and usually the PPM will make a call after consulting the scrutineers on the validity of a ballot. They are counted to see how many votes each candidate got, then we do a very quick preference vote for the 2 parties nominated by the RO. The scrutineers are constantly on the phone as the count progresses passing up to date numbers.

The PPM reports the numbers to the tally room as we do the count.

The official count is conducted during the next weeks. Again scrutineers are present. The numbers only vary very slightly across a division from the count conducted on the night, the ro might make different determinations on the validity of a paper.

If you want to compare the numbers they are published in the paper on the Sunday(the Saturday night count) and on the AEC website when the winner for a seat is declared. If you notice a massive discrepancy let the loosing candidates know.

Similar process for the senate.

Postal votes and prepoll votes are not counted until the next day. The envelopes are checked against the roll and are opened address side down and the ballot removed and added to a box to be counted.

As we know how many ballots have been issued, so it is impossible for the AEC to “slip in” a couple of thousand votes that would change the outcome of an election.

The seats that are very close are already known on election night, and the scrutineers in the real count will fight for every vote for their “guy” to be included and watch the count like hawks.

This is how hard it would be to cheat in the ref.

Let assume the cheaters go with the current polls showing 60/40 in favor of the nos.

In 2022, Australia had 17.9 million eligible voters, according to the AEC.

In order to get to a 50/50 split by cheating the cheaters would need to remove 10% of the vote tally and add in the (equal) forged ballots. That would be 1.8 million votes. They would have to remove 1.8 million and add in 1.8 million across the nation. That’s not going to happen. The probability of this happening in this scenario would be close to zero.

Dogs who risk their lives in warzones could join the RSL
Tim Barlass
By Tim Barlass
September 24, 2023 — 5.00am

Border Collie Trip, a retired explosives detection dog, and his handler both put their lives on the line in Afghanistan and Iraq.

But while Sergeant S – a member of special forces who cannot be identified – can join the Returned and Services League and get all the benefits of his local RSL sub-branch at North Bondi, Trip is left in the dog house.

That could soon change after RSL NSW submitted a board paper requesting a change in the RSL Australia Constitution by-laws to allow military working dogs to become honorary members.

As it stands, the by-laws only recognise a “person” as being eligible to be a member. The request for the change will be considered by the RSL Australia Board at its AGM next week.

Sergeant S, one of those who initiated the idea, said he wanted to make it a standard thing for dogs to be able to become part of the RSL community once their service in the ADF is over.

“He was a six-week-old puppy when I recruited him up in Townsville,” he said. “He responded really well and completed his training in 2012 at the School of Military Engineering as an explosive detection dog. He did a rotation to Afghanistan with a special operations task group and also to Iraq in 2015-2016.

They’re exactly what the backroom apparatchiks want. A front, with Bernie Bros (or RINOs in the case of the Turtle) pulling the strings.

Ted Cruz thinks the Dems will parachute Michelle in at the last minute. That I doubt because she has a brain and gumption, and she can’t be relied on to follow orders.

It’s amusing how prophetic Kurt Schlichter was in his novels. He invoked an aged mental vegetable Dem President too…which in his novel was Elizabeth Warren not Joe Biden. Otherwise the prediction was perfect. I wish his books would stop coming true.

Every day, mil­lions of people take part in cult practices that divide the world into indigenous and non-indigenous, believing a far­rago of New Age Aboriginal spirituality proclaims the one true path to moral improvement.

The Oz explores whether a defeated Albo could fulfill a scenario once acted out in Australia politics:

When the ballot is held in October the No vote is carried by a slim majority ensuring a humiliating loss for the prime minister and Labor Party, as well as, ensuring the bitterness continues and the Prime Minister remains convinced of the rectitude of his case.

Unfortunately for the PM, in this scenario, the Labor Party Parliamentary caucus loses faith in the leader’s judgment, his credibility and authority have been reduced and – again this is a scenario – the Labor MPs move a motion of no confidence in the prime minister and he is removed as leader.

But, convinced of his cause the former Labor leader takes MPs who supported him out of the Labor caucus and forms an alliance with opposition MPs of a like mind. Of course, in the factoid world of politics the Greens and teal independent movement could form a new government with the Labor PM who was turfed out.

Thus, the proposal at the heart of the referendum would live on and be pursued by the now reinstated prime minister who commands the numbers on the floor of the House of Representatives with his new party alliance.

The community remains divided, the Labor Party has suffered a huge loss and is crippled and the referendum can be put again but, after so much upheaval and dire consequences from the first vote, the second vote is defeated by an even bigger margin.

So, in this sliding door moment of history there are real consequences both social and political because of a divisive – and failed – referendum proposal.

Now, there is one small problem with this fictional scenario – it’s absolutely true.

Not based on history, it is history.

For those attuned to political history the above scenario would have been enough of a hint to recognise the truly most divisive referendum debate in Australia: Billy Hughes’ campaign for conscription which was put to the people twice during World War I in 1916 and 1917 and was defeated both times.

The first defeat by a majority of just 3.2 per cent in an indicative plebiscite in 1916 was seen as a “grass roots” victory for the lower-paid, unionists and Irish Catholics over the ruling political and financial elite.

Labor caucus, including some who didn’t see conscription as the answer to supporting the war effort after 6000 Australian volunteers had died in the battle of the Somme, was divided over Hughes’ methods and judgment and lost faith in his leadership. Labor was split for the first time.

The defeat of the second referendum, after Hughes became PM again and pressed a second vote, demonstrated the depth of public feeling, including among Australian diggers at the front, and how out of touch Hughes was with voters.

No-one is suggesting Albanese will face the same fate as Hughes did on the defeat of his divisive vote but the damage from a defeat will affect his prime ministerial authority, credibility and judgment. His colleagues are already showing signs of concern about decisions made over Qatar and Qantas flights into Australia, a distraction from cost-of-living issues, the full impact of carbon emissions reduction measures and the bizarre exclusion of the States from the Covid 19 inquiry.

Albanese was able to brag that his Aston by-election victory was the first in 120 years for a sitting government against an opposition but he should remember the Kalgoorlie by-election was an echo from those failed referendums when Hughes stitched up Australia’s only MP expulsion from the House of Representatives because the Labor MP, an Irishman, Hugh Mahon, had opposed the conscription referendum.

History, no matter from how long ago, is never far away.

An instructive redefinition of fascism. It’s so broad it includes any polity until the day before yesterday but excludes favoured groups. And that’s the point, it is entirely designed to disarm polities that are predominately ‘white’, but who aren’t really concerned by race but by large influxes of different cultures that are very likely to effect the customs and mores of their society.
