He’s run out of other people’s money to throw around like confetti.

But they do exist. And many of them are prior to ’49.

China is a signatory to the Law of the Sea Convention. Historical legacy isn’t an argument to claim ownership in matters relating to rights of passage. You may want it to be, but it is not. You can look it up if you’re suspicious of my claim.

That would be worked out by the various parties to the dispute. These are invariably claims about who has rights to the resources therein, not just to rights of passage to commercial shipping.

China is claiming ownership of around 90% of the South China Sea, which is an international waterway. It’s created “islands” in order to make ownership claims and therefore to restrict access. According to you, if China is claiming 90% of the contested sea, should it have full rights to this? It isn’t recognizing the rights of any other country if it’s claiming 90%, much less recognizing it’s an international waterway.

I don’t know. And I’m certainly not going to form a judgement either way from a single article from Chatham House.

No problem, yet you appear to form strong opinions defending anonymous tweets regarding the Ukraine war, but Chatham House isn’t a goer?

What’s interesting though is that China isn’t alone in making these claims here, Taiwan, Phillipines, et al have their own.

Yes, they do, and quite legitimate ones too.

Just some of Andrews’ grotesque legacy….

1. Small and medium sized businesses destroyed.
2. What was the final body count at St Basil’s?
3. Victorians beaten, bludgeoned and bashed during 2020 and 2021.
4. A pregnant woman handcuffed in her pyjamas.
5. Massive debt.
6. Cancelled Commonwealth Games.
7. A politicised police force.
8. An innocent man sent to prison.

Oh and one last one, it’s an odd one because after almost nine years of Andrews, a state that has quite a few Nazis running amok!

But Danny boy will be okay, he’s got a nice pension and no doubt he’ll be awarded with a comfortable sinecure somewhere. That’s the Labor way, they do look after their own.

Zelensky and Trudeau Give Nazi Standing Ovation

“Is the propaganda working yet? Do you believe the West is really the good guy here? Ukraine and Russia continually point the finger and accuse the other of supporting Nazis. Well, jet-setting Zelensky recently visited Canada’s Parliament where they invited a literal former Nazi from World War II to speak. Yaroslav Hunka, former 14th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS, received a standing ovation.

The 14th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS was a voluntary division composed of Ukrainians. Hunka retired to Canada after the war and was never punished for his crimes. Trudeau thought it would be a good idea for him to visit Ottawa and speak on Ukraine and Canada’s cooperation during wartime. Trudeau is making House of Commons Speaker Anthony Rota take the heat for inviting Hunka. “I wish to make clear that no one, including fellow parliamentarians and the Ukraine delegation, was aware of my intention or of my remarks before I delivered them,” Rota said, although he previously called the Nazi volunteer “a Ukrainian hero and a Canadian hero.”

Jewish rights groups are not accepting the apology. The Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center (FSWC) said they were shocked to see the Canadian government celebrating the Nazis. “There should be no confusion that this unit was responsible for the mass murder of innocent civilians with a level of brutality and malice that is unimaginable,” the group stated. Trudeau has not personally apologized. Poilievre took to X to explain that Trudeau played a direct role in this embarrassing situation: “No parliamentarians (other than Justin Trudeau) had the opportunity to vet this individual’s past before he was introduced and honoured on the floor of the House of Commons. Without warning or context, it was impossible for any parliamentarian in the room (other than Mr. Trudeau) to know of this dark past.”

The modern-day Nazis continue to support Ukraine. Zelensky has already received $6.7 billion from Canada and is ready to pocket more. So, you decide if the West is still the “good guy” in this growing conflict.”

IIRC it was around 600 deaths in Vic old age homes, many died alone separated from their family. That was a result of the disastrous Covid Hotel outbreak of quarantine where maaates got the contracts, security staffed by immigrated south asian gig labour. The resulting lengthy “inquiry” turned up that nobody in Andrew’s govt remembers who approved the security contract. Case closed- sorry too much.

The highest death toll of any event in our history, outside of war.

Why do you repeatedly refer to rights of passage?

You’ve ignored it like it doesn’t exist.

Is China proposing to block waterways essential to their own trade?

They want the right to determine who sails through the South China Sea and harass shipping that doesn’t seek pre-approval. They’re also quite aggressive when US naval vessels sail through, claiming it’s China’s sovereign waters, and attempt to warn them off.

They construct an island in the SC Sea and then claim the surrounding waterway is Chinese territorial waters, yet you appear to have no problem with these actions. It’s America’s fault because it has bases in Asia. Isn’t that what you were implying last evening?

I don’t form strong opinions from a single tweet re the Ukraine War.

Really? Since February 22, can you cite one single comment you’ve made or one tweet you pasted that was essentially empathetic towards Ukraine and going against Russia? You don’t have to look for it, but a summary would be okay.

Further, Chatham House is promoting the conventional Western position on international affairs. It’s pretty much the Atlantic Council in at afternoon tea.

Whatever it’s promoting or doesn’t promote, an article should stand on its merits. I would have thought you wouldn’t make ad hom arguments like this.

WA Inc player Yosse Goldberg, who spent seven years overseas amid royal commission, dies aged 87
Neale Prior
The West Australian
Tue, 26 September 2023 10:25A

WA Inc player Yosse Goldberg has died — almost 35 years after leaving his adopted home of WA for what started out as self-imposed exile in his native Israel. He was 87.

A prayer service then burial will be held at Karrakata on Tuesday afternoon for the flamboyant investment promoter who became national news after the October 1987 share market crash.

As receivers tried to unravel his failed flagship company Western Continental, Mr Goldberg’s former Dalkeith riverside home became a regular visiting spot for journalists.

The visitors were greeted by his chronically unwell teenage son David Goldberg, who grew up to be a highly-regarded Perth stockbroker.

Mr Goldberg had been expected to return to Australia in November 1987 after flying to Israel to attend his father’s funeral.

But he was not seen in Perth for seven years as insolvency accountants picked over the remnants of Western Continental and the WA Inc royal commission examined his dealings with former deputy premier David Parker.

The royal commission probed Western Continental’s purchase of Fremantle Gas and Coke Company in July 1985 and its sale 15 months later to State Energy Commission of WA.

Intrigue surrounded what happened to a $35,000 cash cheque dispatched by Western Continental in November 1986.

The royal commission in 1992 looked at the source of a $13,000 payment Mr Parker had made to a Fremantle real estate and $12,000 used to start a new a bank account.

Mr Parker had denied Mr Goldberg paid him any money and claimed the $25,000 came from a satchel of cash he kept in his office.

Mr Goldberg did not give testify to the royal commission, but sent two statements that were disregarded by the commissioners.

And he did not testify at Mr Parker’s District Court trial in September 1996 on five counts of giving perjured evidence to the royal commission.

Prosecutor John McKechnie emphasised the prosecution was focussed on Mr Parker’s testimony in 1992 and its case did not include the former minister having received a bribe from Mr Goldberg.

District Court judge Michael Muller, who heard the charges without a jury, rejected Mr Parker’s story of having saved at least $25,000 in $100 notes in a brown leather satchel in his office drawer.

Judge Muller convicted Mr Parker and sentenced him to 18 months jail, with a minimum term of six months.

The fallen political star was released in March 1997 and resumed his own business exile in Hong Kong.

In Smiths at Sydney Airport I picked up from the Penguin reprint stand a lone copy of the Meditations of Marcus Aurelius, as something to dip into in Italy. When in Rome etc .. They are better described as his ‘notes to self’, reminding himself of how he should think and behave, reflecting on learned experience, admirable behaviours and the nature of the divine in all life, of ‘the whole’ in nature and one’s spun destiny within it. I like his self-descriptor, this Roman Emperor: “a male, mature in years, a statesman, a Roman, ruler: one who has taken his post like a soldier waiting for the Retreat from life to sound, and ready to depart, past the need for any loyal oath or human witness”, to which he adds this admonition, “and see that you keep a cheerful demeanour, and retain your independence of outside help and the peace which others can give. Your duty is to stand straight – not held straight.”

He calls memory and the object of memory ‘ephemeral’. Today we will visit the famed Roman arena in Verona with his second century reflections on famed in mind:

“Words in common use ong ago are obseolete now. So too the names of those once famed are in a sense obsolete – Camillus, Caeso, Volesus, Dentatus; a little later Scipio and Cato, then Augustus too, then Hadrian and Antoninus. All things fade and quickly turn to myth; quickly too utter oblivion drowns them. And I am talking too of those who shone with some wonderful brilliance: the rest, once they have breathed their last, are immediately ;beyond sight, beyond knowledge’. But what in any case is everlasting memory? Utter emptiness.

So where shoud a man direct his endeavour? Here only – a right mind, action for the common good, speech incapable of lies, a disposition to welcome all that happens as necessary, intelligible, flowing from an equallly intelligible spring of origin”

Voltaire parodied this of course in Candide with Dr. Pangloss, but it trails back through the Greek tradition so influential in Aurelius’ thought. We have divinity within us, and god/the gods have some purpose in us. Destiny is all. It is there in the spinners of life’s thread deep in all Indo-European mythology.

I say to Hairy that I find these meditations extremely ‘modern’. What did you expect? he answers, that people thought differently in the past to today? I didn’t mean that I say, I think I meant that we can identify so much with Marcus’ struggles to live a good life in spite of the times.

Off to the Arena to see it all now. And then the glories of the Christian centuries after.

The Chinese are not going to block commercial vessels crucial to their own trade.

Why on earth do you keep sliding in this part of jigsaw when it doesn’t fit? Of course the Chinese aren’t going to block “their own trade”. This isn’t the problem. Read what I said earlier about about demanding ships entering the waterway must request permission from them as it’s considered Chinese territorial waters. I honestly don’t understand the purpose of this part of the argument. Many other countries use this waterway for trade that has nothing to do with China.

The rest of the dispute between the countries that surround the South China Sea is largely about who owns the resources under the sea or related to the fisheries therein.

The Engans are pretty handy archers

As an anthropology student I spent two weeks living with the Wabag Engas of the Western NG Highlands in early 1965 uni long vacation on a ‘goodwill’ visiting scheme. They were recently contacted, it was back in the days of the old God Kiap, the Western Patrol Officer who ruled as absolute over these bewigged tribal men and their clans. My then boyfriend and I stayed at the Kiap’s house. The Enga’s favoured weapon by then had become the steel machete, a unipurpose tool and weapon replacing stone adzes. Warfare was forbidden. They were very peaceful and we visited compounds and went into huts quite freely. The huts were low to keep in heat, and had constant smoke blackened condensation dripping down the beams. Cooking was done outside but small fires inside kept off insects at night. It was no paradise.

This chap was mentioned earlier today by a couple of people. Here he is, in full technicolour (the NT Independent).

He didn’t just kill dogs. No, no no.

A Darwin crocodile researcher who referred to dogs as “sex toys” has pled guilty to charges including beastiality, animal cruelty, and possessing child abuse material, having filmed the extreme torture and killing of 39 dogs he had mostly sourced from Gumtree, where in some instances he had convinced distressed owners who were moving interstate that their pets were going to a good home.

Dr Adam Robert Corden Britton, 52, pled guilty in the NT Supreme Court on Monday in front of Chief Justice Michael Grant to 61 charges, with the details of his horrific torture and sexual abuse filling 31 pages of agreed facts, which also had another 40 pages detailing images and videos he had shared and conversations he had on end-to-end encrypted messaging app Telegram, where he bragged that the torture could go on for up to four days to maximise the pain to the animal.

More on the good doctor, who evidently had a shipping container on his property he referred to as his ‘torture room’:

There were 18 indictable charges Britton pleaded guilt to, made up of 10 counts of male sexual intercourse with an animal, four counts of using a carriage service to harass, one count of possessing child abuse material, two counts of using a carriage service for child abuse material, and one count of controlling child abuse material.

Britton also pled guilty to 43 summary animal cruelty charges, made up of 36 counts of aggravated cruelty to animals, four of committing an act of cruelty on an animal, and a final four counts of breaching a duty of care to animals over abuse of his own pet dogs Bolt and Ursa.

There is more. Much more, which I will not go into.

Crooks in prison have pets. They have pet dogs of their own. These, and the other details in that piece – which are from court records – will now be available to them.

Dr Britton will not survive.

‘Disruptive man who caused Perth to Sydney flight turnaround’ facing massive fuel bill, fines
By Heather McNeill and Ezra Holt
September 25, 2023 — 12.40pm

A Jetstar passenger whose alleged drunk behaviour saw a flight turned around is facing a huge fine.

When the decision was made to turn the plane one hour into the journey, Corbett allegedly locked himself in a toilet and refused to come out until the plane had landed.

He was charged with behaving in a disorderly manner on an aircraft and failing to comply with instructions given by cabin crew, namely putting on his seat belt.

During his court appearance in Perth Magistrate’s Court on Monday, Corbett’s duty lawyer said he disputed the allegations.

If found guilty, Jetstar is seeking $20,000 in fuel costs and reparation for operational costs, including flight cancellation costs.

He is also facing up to $27,000 in fines.

Corbett moved to Baldivis, in Perth’s south, from Gosford, NSW last month.

The court was told he was returning to NSW for an outstanding court matter.

Corbett was granted bail, but is not allowed to leave WA or consume alcohol.

His next court appearance is on October 6.

The Pell case and Covid represent the nadir of Chairman Dan’s regime. A unanimous High Court appeal from a State Court of Criminal Appeal must be virtually without precedent.

I should have put a blood pressure warning on the Katie Hopkins clip. It’s literally the end of free speech (such as it is) in the U.K.

Why?

This goes back two years, JC; in the wake of the Somyurek branch stacking affair, Andrews (with Albanese’s support) suspended the voting rights of union members in ALP pre-selections.

A factional war erupted.

A truce has been bought with Andrews’s ejection from the premiership.

According to my nephew, who is in the construction industry (although not a union supporter himself), it is the unions who wanted Andrews gone.

Why?

No idea.

My sister (his mother) said he said it, I haven’t spoken with him lately.

I do know that previously Andrews has been a huge supporter of unions, particularly the CFMEU, and they have been big supporters of him; maybe he pissed them off.

Things get quieter in the fall and winter.

Chicago Weekend Shootings: 86-year-old man among 3 killed, 29 hurt

It’s a quiet weekend unless the count is around 70ish.

Those docs in Chicago hospitals must be world experts in gun shot wounds and removing bullets.

That story from the NT is just bloody awful. Four days torturing a dogue, FFS – and all the rest.

Monstrous. Cassie’s croc solution seems just.

Evidently…Andrews had a strong power base and Albanese backing him.

I don’t know all the ins and outs – nor would I want to – but I believe that’s the gist of it.

It also explains, partially at least, Albanese’s laudatory comments today.

Hey Rabz – I have an idea for a radio show: Stones & Beatles.

Thought it when mentioning the Stones new album this morning. Beatles of course should include Wings!

All those guys have a stamina that is seriously awesome.

Just ask John Setka what he thinks of Andrews and Albanese.

Interesting sounding piece about the rise of the Indo-Europeans and their language.

Facing Facts, even fraught ones: the quest for proto-Indo-Europeans in 2023

Today, over three billion humans distributed across every continent claim Indo-European languages as their mother tongue. This status is the outcome of myriad documented historical events, and an even greater mass of shadowy circumstances we can only intuit, which thousands of years ago catapulted an obscure tribe of Eurasians into position as the direct genetic ancestors of hundreds of millions of people alive today, not to mention the cultural pathbreakers to billions more. The rise and spread of the British Empire and Spain’s New World conquest were two key phenomena instrumental to the vast historical spread of the Indo-European languages, English and Spanish. But Indo-European languages were already widespread long before the modern rise of Western imperialism.

I’ve always understood Andrews ruled the parliamentary Labor party with an iron fist, yet there are men in the shadows who are more powerful?
What sort of threat was sufficient?
A humiliating ejection from the premiership?

  1. Things going to crap in South Korea.Martial law declared but vetoed. Rogue parliament but seems the President has bitten off…

  2. I hope no one is having crumpets for breakfast? Wes Streeting bans adverts for yoghurt because it’s unhealthy … but…
