A 6b housing development in Kaurna country has been halted after remains were unearthed and it now seems its an old burial site. Going back 6,000 years.

‘How would they like it if we dug up their parents’ remains ?’

None of the objectors knew it was a burial site until recently but they all run around screeching as if they had personal acquaintance with the disinterred.

A lot of talk about wanting the spirits to have a happy life in the next world with friends you know, like nothing is different. The dead bet on the races and watch the football just like they did before, I suppose.

Scams like this are an appalling indictment of we stupid white people and our governments.

How dare you!

Not sure it’s actually a fascist model. It is probably something closer to the economic system of most Western nations prior to WW2.

LOL!

Ok

Who down ticked the loss of the suave debonair lover of smokin hot women that was Roger Moore.

Show yourself Sirrah and expect a jolly good thrashing.

And a hearty rogering by some chap named Nigel that i met in the pub.

But the prices seem heated at present and I’m wary of the FOMO that seems in play with our local suppliers.

Speedbox,

The ticker URNM ETF on the ASX has shareholdings in all the major global uranium miners, and mirrors the big kahuna Sprott URA ETF. It’s been pretty hot , up 60+% since March this year.

There is without doubt a looming supply of uranium but much of that news is already well priced in for now. (The situation in Niger also helps) And as they say the best cure for high prices are high prices. I suspect, like the gas/oil producers their valuations will next be repriced – up. Possibly way up. The next decent pull back 30%+ will be very interesting for me to add.

The next decent pull back 30%+ will be very interesting for me to add.

… I meant 30%+ of this years price increase in the ETF.

German isn’t a language – it’s a trial to see how long you can gargle without spitting.

Whereas Norwegian is far simpler… it is a test of how long can go talk without taking a breath. That’s per word, just to be clear.

Most of those Teals seats will be reclaimed by the Liberal Party at the next election. I suspect North Sydney, Wentworth, Goldstein and Curtin will be back in the Liberal fold.

If you think that is going to happen by magic with the LNP moving further right at the same time, Cranky, you are as foolish as they are.

The core Liberal electorate has clearly moved left on the climate change issue. You and the party can hope that it will go away by itself but, like the warming itself, things are only going to get worse.

Cue Carringbush supporters crying because either Neale got too many votes in the first half of the season or Daicos didn’t get enough.

If you think that is going to happen by magic with the LNP moving further right…

If one looks at the European experience over the past, say, 7 years, what the Libs ought to do – for the good of the nation – is to announce a complete change of direction. Be something like exactly the Alternative for Australia (AfA) as it were.

If “far right” policies like a repudiation/nuclearisation of the climate nonsense; a crackdown on welfare and – especially – NDIS rorting; a serious rethinking of “big Australia” generally and migration in particular; a long-overdue audit of education, health and indigenous spending; and, vitally, a thorough rethinking and audit of Defence aren’t popular, it would be good for Australia to know that.

For better for worse, they would help set the course. Isn’t that what HM’s Loyal Opposition is supposed to facilitate?

Daics couldn’t win after missing so many games from injury at the arse end of the season.

Not a bad effort though for a 20 year old in his second season running a close third.

I was pretty pissed off though with the insipid AFL having the white uncle herpes lecturing us about welcome to my country.

When will they learn.

You got it the wrong way around.
When will we learn?

Surely not! I would’ve thought you had learned your lesson last time with cruises. You were almost locked out of the country for a couple of years.

JC, we’ve been on a Panama Cruise since then, the one that kicked us off in Mexico in 2020. The world is back to rights now, as Top Ender says, no screens in shops, no masks, and no vaxx certificates required in Italy which is a good proxy for Europe.

I got it wrong. Hairys said we were going through Bologna, not to Bologna. And around it we sped on the autostrada at 130kms average. We are actually now in Verona, where I will be looking around for Two Gentlemen. Plus Romeo and Juliet, who are of course, just as fictional but here nevertheless, in fact down the road from where we are staying near the Roman arena. A house with a balcony claims these starcrossed lovers as their own, and lovers from around the world leave notes there. Apparently. Will check it all out tomorrow. On a balcony myself ow with Hairy sharing a drink overlooking iron gates and a driveway to this property which is now various apartments, one of them ours for two days. They don’t supply cups or glasses (lucky I have some plastic ones) but there is an endless supply of coffee capsules and tiny cups for it. Main priority it seems.

Thanks Tom – much appreciated.

And all the best for the plumbing

No doubt the English bird who headed up that committee who sent the very stern letter will send another very stern letter.

good luck Tom

If it wasn’t for Elon Musk, China would dominate the orbital platforms.

I don’t think the numbers matter, like the old adage, what matters is what you do with it and how you use it.

Sure there has to be enough to be useful.

1. Xi is like Cersei. I liked Cersei because she was competent. But it’s like having a favourite Sopranos character. They all terrible.

2. Go Ireland!

3. My friend reckons Penrith Panther have a trans cheer leader? WTF!?

4. Monty’s plan to transform the LNP into the ALP will surely work as lifelong ALP voters will NEVER vote LNP and the ALP vote is shrinking anyway…appealing to a smaller and smaller base of people who hate you, surely this will work?

It’s remarkable and amazing how the press has obsessively gone after Brand for four years BUT the Epstein client list is suppressed even at Ghislaine Maxwell’s trial and sentencing!

Brand would have been better off if he went to Epstein Island.

…and this sort of dishonest nonsense is why the little guy feels like everyone is lying, they start believing in conspiracies uncritically and assume their masters are all crooks or worse.

Found this trying to see if the NRL has a tranny cheerleader.

From the article inset:

Alarming rates of violence against trans-people

Wow!

Last week Averie Chanel Medlock, 25, was expelled from Ranger College cheerleading camp in Texas after she was alleged to have choked a 17-year-old female teammate, identified only as Karleigh.

…

“Well guys I’m officially retired as a cheerleader as of last night at 5:30am. A girl on the team was being very disrespectful and told me I am a MAN with a PENIS and that [guys] should not be on the team,” she wrote.

“I stood up for myself and she called her mom and dad because she was scared because I [stood] up for myself.

“Her father said, ‘She still has testosterone and a penis and I will kill anyone who comes after my daughter.’”

Absolutely incredible.

Where was the press hammering these two for abusing women and gaslighting people with threats of murder?!

Trudeau is beyond parody and protected by a friendly press the way the British monarchy once was.

Another Malmo moments.

Brand needs to fight back but even with his millions, I’m not sure he has enough to do what must be done.

He needs to attack, not nuclear like Bannon but real wrath of the Lord style.

The accusers, journos, investigators, politicians, tangential commentators and journalists who softball them, look into their past and their associates, bosses, underlings and family and crucify whomever he can if them if he finds anything adverse.

He needs to become Sama’el (the poison of God).

Now that’s nasty stuff but he could end up dead in a prison cell if he sits there and tries to debate people like Carl Benjamin.

A former Waffen SS soldier honoured in a parliament.

Given the history of the Nazi SS division murdering Canadians (150+) in Normandy shortly after D Day, it beggars belief how breathtakingly demented the Canadian Parliament must be to honor and then applaud that Nazi.

I see that the Donut King dragged out gerbil worming last night, apparently in a doomed attempt to divert attention from AnAl’s disastrous campaign for the InVoice, after his silly claim of Kamahl-mentum collapsed.

Former Prime Minister Bob Hawke had no friends, played up his “Aussie ocker” image and was influenced by his dominant mother, a newly unsealed report by the British Government claims.

“But it is odd that his ministerial colleagues, and almost anyone who knows him, do not like him much. He has no close friends.”

Daily Tele

Saw an ad pushing the yes vote, an Aboriginal boy who wanted a voice and an education. Made me wonder about BB and how he manages to articulate his feelings since he never had an education. Do I need to put Sarc after that? My son has two Aboriginal mates. One is a PHD candidate in science and the other in IT. Never had any problem hearing what they had to say. The ad would appeal to mutley. This is the level of intelligence we’re dealing with daily.

Solar PV is just too cheap and too easily available to make discussion of nuclear in two-plus decades of any interest at all. Nukes just don’t matter.

So why is such “cheap” electricity still subsidised?

No wonder you failed Economics 1.

Surging migration, housing crisis leave door open for Coalition
You may have read about the migrant crisis engulfing the small Italian island of Lampedusa. Ten thousand uninvited arrivals reached its shores in one week, eventually to be relocated elsewhere in the EU.

Needless to say, 10,000 in one week sounds an awful lot but here’s the thing: in Australia there are now more than 10,000 migrants arriving by plane each week.

To be sure, they are coming here on visas, but the intention of many is to stay, at least for as long as possible. Close to 100,000 recent arrivals have now applied for humanitarian visas, which will involve many years of assessments and appeals.
According to the latest figures from the Australian Bureau of Statistics, net overseas migration (long-term arrivals minus long-term departures) reached 454,000 in the year ending March this year.

The largest component is student arrivals. The annual increase in Australia’s population was a massive 563,000 people or 2.2 per cent. The NOM made up 80 per cent of the increase. Most new migr­ants head for Melbourne or Sydney.
Illustrating the naivety of the Treasurer on this issue, Jim Chalmers has simply asserted “the migration numbers are recovering. That’s not a government target or policy. That’s the demand-driven part of the program. It largely reflects the fact that international students are coming back quicker. That’s why we’re seeing these slightly higher numbers.”
In fact, the current numbers are significantly ahead of Treasury’s forecasts of peak NOM of 400,000.

Migrant numbers of this magnitude are both ill-judged and unmanageable. And unlike Europe, where action is difficult, the Australian government could act to reduce the migrant intake but simply refuses to do so. The simplest route would be to put caps on uncapped temporary visas but there are a number of options.

Under Labor, resources in the Department of Home Affairs to process visas have been ramped up to speed up visa processing. Boasts are now made about the number of visa applications being approved and the short time involved. Close to 90 per cent of all student visa applications are approved. The figures are quite staggering. In December last year, for instance, 97,000 student visas were granted compared with 24,000 approved in the previous December.

If we extrapolate the figures we are already at a record number of student visa holders in Australia, eclipsing the previous record. There has been a massive shift in the source countries, with very strong growth from India, Colombia, Brazil, The Philippines, Thailand, Pakistan, Bhutan and Bangladesh.

Those on student visas no longer have to hide their real intentions – to stay in the country after they graduate – which has been made easier by the close-to-automatic issuing of lengthy post-graduation visas.

Earlier in the year the government also received a very unhelpful report chaired by former senior bureaucrat Martin Parkinson that recommended all temporary migrants be given a pathway to permanent residence.

However, even the most ardent supporters of a large migrant intake and the benefits of a big Australia recognise there are annual limits to the extent to which migrants can be absorbed without adverse consequences for the local population as well as the migrants themselves. There is no doubt that a NOM of more than 400,000 a year – indeed, more than 200,000 a year – is beyond the absorptive capacity of the country.

The argument that the government’s hands are tied because of the need to fill skilled job vacancies is totally misleading. The vast majority of the migrant intake is not skilled and even when they complete their qualifications, overseas-born graduates are much less likely to fill professional or managerial occupations than graduates born here.

Certainly, international students undertake unskilled and semi-skilled work, but the case for a large migrant intake has always been made on the basis of a strong skill bias.

To preference employers seeking workers because they can’t find locals or don’t want to bid up wages is a serious policy mistake. Just as a lack of capital can thwart the operation and development of businesses, so can the lack of workers.

The government should not be in the game of seeking to fill all these worker gaps through facilitating migration, just as it wouldn’t want to cover an insufficiency of capital.

The better alternative is to allow the labour market to allocate workers to their best use and to limit the use of migration. Some firms may just have to shrink.

It doesn’t take an economics degree to realise this surge in the population would put immense strain on the housing situation and this is exactly what is playing out, particularly in the cities to which the migrants are flocking.

The vacancy rates for rental properties are at historic lows and rents are rising very strongly, well above the rate of inflation. The fact federal ministers can express concern for those adversely affected by the housing crisis yet do nothing to curtail the size of the migrant intake underscores a wilful downplaying of the connection.

The reality is that all the government housing plans announced thus far, including the federal one, don’t touch the sides when it comes to closing the gap between demand for housing and the supply.

Setting meaningless targets is similarly unhelpful. The federal government has declared that 1.2 million homes will be built in the next five years even though Australia has never achieved anything close to that figure.

And wait for this: according to the most recent figures, annual housing starts have hit a decade-low of just under 60,000. Just in case you think the newly created Housing Australia Future Fund will make a difference, it is anticipated that a mere 30,000 new homes will be built over five years as a result of this initiative and it will not begin for at least another year.

The reality is that government plans have a nasty habit of coming up short and the only sustainable way to deal with the housing imbalance is via private supply responding to private demand.

In the meantime our urban landscapes will be transformed from the previous predominance of detached housing to clusters of poor-quality high-rise apartment buildings. Our cities are already rapidly changing and not for the better in the minds of many.

The consequences of the migrant surge do not stop at the housing market. Congestion, crowded schools and hospitals, deteriorating social amenity, more generally, are some of the impacts.

The federal government can kiss goodbye to its emissions reduction pledge given such strong population growth.

Survey after survey point to the lack of public support for high rates of immigration. The vast majority want a return to previous levels – NOM was around 100,000 a year in the earlier years of the century; some would even prefer a complete pause.

But the politicians would rather prioritise the wishes of the vested interests seeking more migrants – the property developers, big business, universities and, bizarrely, even state governments.

If we think of this issue in a global context, people are on the move, be it via legal or illegal channels. Europe, Britain and the US are being overwhelmed by migrants, in particular. Political parties that support restrictions on immigration are gaining momentum.

There is a real opportunity for the Coalition to differentiate itself from Labor on this topic and thereby break from the bipartisan endorsement of big Australia.

It may take some courage, but is likely to be rewarded by increased support from voters.

I still can’t pinpoint the moment when we crossed into the alternate universe.

The Kevin 07 campaign.
