One went straight into the ladies’ lounge, another had his red trouser braces snapped and burst into tears, and then the barmaid chased all three of them out.
Just been checking TheirABC’s mea culpa page.
Transparency being key, it is buried. You need to intuit that it is under the Editorial Policies link, which is in tiny print at the bottom of the Just In page.
Here is the link.
What is remarkable is how few errors this media behemoth makes, according to itself. If you look at the dates, maybe three or four a month. Considering the vast output across TV, radio and online, this is unbelievably excellent, in both senses of the word ‘unbelievably’.

Anyway, while I regard all psychiatric diagnoses as dubious, as they seem to be in a cul de sac of competing theologies, BPD (if it exists) includes attention-seeking and manipulative behaviour as primary symptoms. If someone’s life work is perfecting this, how on earth is your average copper, ambo, nurse or doctor supposed to diagnose it at first contact?
Seems more like yet another excuse for bad behaviour being mooted as desirable public policy.

Gaetz nominated him.
Thanks BB – She writes really well! Not much substantial policywise but her comment that 11 of her people already represent them in Canberra is good. I second her observation about “gridlock, bureaucracy and enshrined division”. Streets ahead of Albo’s waffle.
I would like to hear from Mal Brough, who tried to fix the problems and was castigated by all the chardonnay sippers for it. Probably a good idea to keep his head down through this referendum though. But he really did try, unlike anyone else in the portfolio.
Yes Bruce was it under Brough that ATSIC was shut down?
The Voice groups Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people together based on nothing more than their heritage but real change comes from focusing on need, not race.
There is not one person who has ever explained what the Voice is.
However, Jacinta Price has explained what it isn’t.
Game Over.
Searing. And clear. Unlike Jacinta they also focus on good chunky policy too. Their article should be compulsory reading for all Australians voting in the referendum. But that’s not what the Left wants: they want vibes and emotions.
I can’t remember BB, but Howard gave him the job to fix the really nasty stuff that was going on, and the Left went nuts. Then when Howard lost Macklin got the ministry and immediately went back to the old peonage system. And here we still are.
lol Sancho. I will definitely not be going on any Himalayan excursions now.
Dr. Faustus and Calli, luckily I am fairly active and my lungs are sound, so I don’t really have any breathing issues, mainly it’s dizziness. As dizziness can be caused by a lot of other things, such as stress or viral infections especially of the middle ear, I’m open re diagnosis, but it does seem responsive to resting now in a lower altitude. I’ve been OK in high altitudes before (Colorado in 2018), but not in recent years, so I can only put this down to the changes altitude can produce when older and having moderate high blood pressure and hiking up to a higher point post gondola, without Sherpas notwithstanding. 🙂
Lesson definitely learned.
Asking for a friend; but what if the accusations are one and the same?
The dissolution of ATSIC by Howard had bi-partisan support (from Latham, iirc).
Chair at the time was Geoff Clark, who was often in the news for the wrong reasons.
True too Rosie that it’s always good these days to keep the medical insurance primed.
Going to a doc right now though seems rather unnecessary as symptoms have subsided and they’d probably want to do time-consuming tests which I will get later if this recurs.
We leave Salzburg today, heading briefly into Germany.
Sherpas are always a good idea. Or a travel slave or two.

There is not one person who has ever explained what the Voice is.
And that is from the PM all the way down to the bottom.
So, what is it Tennis Elbow? A Political Stunt or a Cunning Stunt?
Baldrick had a Cunning Plan but you have never had a Plan. And that goes wiv’ the ‘Transishion’ with ‘Blackout Bowen’ and all the way to not get re-erected in 2025.
Fark wits all of you and maybe sheep shaggers as well. Baaaaaaaaaaah.
Interesting; on The Five the outstanding Gutfeld says elections no longer matter and offers the election of the creepy old treasonous perve who offered moderation but in fact produced borderless chaos. For Gutfeld the demorat created problems can only be solved by war. Remarkable that a dominant personality can openly advocate civil war. He’s right of course.
Can Kittahs and Cats imagine if the quality of discourse presented by Jacinta Price, Warren Mundine and Vicki Grieves-Williams applied across the political spectrum. What a Country Australia would be.
All the right reasons, I would contend.
The light, in the end, shone brightly on Mr Clark.
Echelons of Big Men of the Clark ilk are lined up, pockets open, hopeful that the Voice will get through and that their cups (and pockets) spilleth over.

1. Dismantling of ATSIC, and

Sorry guv’na, orright innit. There are no sheep in the vast Northern Territory:
Also prohibited are part-time bovver boys. This occurred after the Great Kindergarten Massacre of 2005, when a bunch of pre-school children ambushed some skinny-jean-wearing, trouser-brace having loudmouth pseudo-Poms at a bus stop in Darwin and stole their Doc Martens for silly putty containers.
Johanna – I was hoping it would counter the waffle from Albo, who is also stupid, authoritarian and ineffective.

Remember how awful DemonRats said Romney was for carrying his dog in a proper carry box, but on the roof of his car? Not even an echo of that criticism now.

It was a party atmosphere.
The concerns of people in hellholes were not apparent.
JR, you manage to signal a complete sense of humour failure. Calli was referring to her husband. Sober up.
Rosie, terrible. It puts everything into perspective.
Not forgotten by some.
Hence the short sharp reply to the Yessir running his engagement spiel after golf today.
“Two words … Geoff Clark.”
According to the latest Yes TV ad, which just appeared while I was watching Bargain Hunt, the Voice will remedy higher than average indigenous infant mortality rates, higher than average unemployment, and lower than average life expectancy.
In opposition, I contend that only assimilation into the mainstream of society can achieve this outcome.
It’s a no brainer.
Lizard People shut down WA’s timber industry… and then build the biggest timber dogbox evah because carbon capture something something sustainability.
Dixon said the timber in the project would … be shipped from Europe in empty iron ore ships returning to WA.

World’s tallest wooden building to be built in Perth after developers win approval
Developers say South Perth’s C6 building will be made up of 42% timber and be carbon negative
42% timber does not make something wooden.
Western Australia is set to become home to the world’s tallest timber building, a “revolutionary” 50-storey hybrid design reaching a height of 191.2 metres.
I expect that record-smashing height to be reviewed.
Timber will make up 42% of South Perth’s C6 building, including the tower’s beams, floor panels, studs, joinery and linings.
Oh righto. Window dressing, then.
Come to think of windows- lotsa glass and not a lot of eaves in the artist’s impression. Heating and cooling all those international visa sequesterers will be carbon emission offset, I assume?
The Grange Development project at 6 Charles Street will include more than 200 apartments and was approved by Perth’s Metro Inner-South Joint Development Assessment Panel on Thursday. The developers say it will be carbon negative, storing more carbon than it uses and will combine lightweight, durable, renewable glued laminated timber and cross-laminated timber with lower amounts of steel and concrete than conventional construction methods.
Lower amounts of debbil debbil metal than conventional. Woop.
Timber is a core component of houses, as well as low-rise apartments and townhouse developments, making it a significant cost in construction.
As significant a cost amount as the buried bloodletting for approvals and licensing?
It will also be taller than Atlassian’s hybrid timber headquarters, currently under construction in central Sydney, which will be 180 metres high. The world’s tallest timber building, Ascent in Wisconsin, US, stands at 86.6 metres with 25 storeys.
Gotta keep Cannon-Brookes in the news.
Architect and principal of Fraser and Partners, Reade Dixon, said the project, which does not yet have a construction timeframe, is revolutionary in an industry that hasn’t changed much in its approach to commercial buildings over the past 70 years.
Laminated timber. Apply the physics. Woop.
AI could not name a man more strongly destined to become an architect than Reade Dixon.
The building’s developers claim that the 7,400 cubic metres of timber consumed by C6 could be regrown in just 59 minutes from one sustainably farmed forestry region.
The f*ck? Regrown? It’s grown in the first place, why make a dog and pony show about re-growing?
“C6 will consume approximately 580 pine trees sourced from sustainably managed and farmed forests,” the project’s website states. “We can’t grow concrete.”
I wonder if they had workshopped C4 as a possible name for a combustible high-rise before Ricke Ardonne said “we gotta get those numbers up, it’s too close to the bone…”
C6 will house edible and floral gardens on its rooftop.
And like McDonald’s Salad Bar, I’m sure it will be cherished. And feed all the residents. And be carbon neutral. And stuff. Biodiversity, that’s it.
Dixon said the timber in the project would either come from Australia’s largest mass timber producer, XLam, in Albury, NSW, or be shipped from Europe in empty iron ore ships returning to WA.
The irony, it burns like C4.
The director of the University of Wollongong’s Sustainable Buildings Research Centre, Timothy McCarthy, said the developer’s claims do not include end-of-life carbon costs of timber.
So close to net zero deliverance, the professor rolls the ring of power in his spindly hands…
“Currently, the end of life scenario for timber is landfill – people are working on getting this changed but the IPCC [Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change] only considers permanent sequestration for materials, and timber eventually rots or burns, returning its CO2 to the atmosphere,” he said.
Gotta keep yer blood-funnel in the main vein, IPCC. Because it’s only sustainable if you’re a parasite, forever.
While the trees used in the design come from fully sustainable sources, [yeah: trees] McCarthy noted only 40% of a tree ends up as timber – the rest is ploughed back into the land or made into mulch, while some goes towards paper making.
Prof has been brainstorming. Or maybe just googling.
Although the ambitious design was a “tough task”, he praised the project’s approach.
“[C6’s] ambitions are to be lauded and if it can deliver that sustainability over the full life of the building, we are changing the playing field, particularly in WA, where the climate is very harsh,” he said.
Honestly, where is the climate not harsh? Martha’s Vineyard, the Whitsundays and Cyprus, as far as I can tell. Ferkin academics, get out of your air-conditioned labs once in a while.
Fraser and Partners will open-source publish all technical materials from the project. The aim is to encourage more mass timber architecture in the built environment in response to the climate crisis, said Dixon.
*clutches award to shallow chest* “If I can inspire more people to reach for Gaia’s dreams…”
“Our great hope is that it challenges the industry to do future projects better,” he said.
Construction accounts for 11% of global carbon emissions, while cement alone is responsible for 8% of all carbon emissions. In 2020, WA generated 81.7m tonnes of CO2, or 16% of Australia’s emissions.
Permit season starts on the 15th here, I’m going to do my bit to emit a fair bit before then, and afterwards too.
Don’t forget the rest of the quote: “A lucky country run by second rate people who share its luck.”
Although “second rate” seems to be a charitable estimate these days.
C’mon mUnty, you know you want to give this the thumb down.

I have possibly mentioned before being shocked when walking off a flight in Paris and spying Clark and his goons sitting in the First Class cave casting sneering FU glares at the proles as they filed off.
They were wearing croc tooth hat bands which was quite a trick for a bunch of Victorians.
Until then, I had no idea that these creeps had access to unlimited money and used it for their personal gratification in the absolute knowledge that they would not be challenged.
It was during the UN Kyoto coup and Clark and his goons extracted themselves from Pigalle for long enough to be all over the adoring Euro media to define the hellish Australian apartheid.
They had some videos of bull catching and brumby shooting that were, apparently, to be considered as metaphors for our treatment of Aboriginals.
I actually copped some serious stick at work for a few weeks. No sense trying to explain to Europeans that these guys were nothing more than the World’s most cosseted mysogynist crime gang.

There is something about the English language and singing and music, It works, And no better with this. Hats Off.

Why are you so prickly?
Have you no humour or anything else. Get a Life and relax. This is only a Blog, Not a Life.
I think this is easy money for Sky, they play the ads while most, if not all, of their audiences ignore them or deride them. Any lefties who watch Sky would vote Yes anyway and therefore also ignore the ads.
Seriously glorious. Don’t cross the streams! Speaking of dumb, light humour…my reading this evening is Bob’s Saucer Repair, which has had me in tears of laughter. Starts off at a thousand miles an hour and just keeps on getting better.
I asked the kids if the teachers etc have been discussing the ‘Voice’ at school.
Answer: ‘What voice?’.
Good result. The topic itself should have never seen the light of day. What a waste of time.
Use Brave browser and dont log into a google account. No ads. Ever.
If it pays the bills, fine by me.
I drop Brave shields on most righty websites since they need the money.
I’ll see your Brian Eno and raise you Brigadier General José María Jacobo Rafael Ramón Francisco Gabriel del Corazón de Jesús Gordon y Prendergast, one time Australian CGS (pre WW I).
PS, there is some dispute as to how many of his names were registered legally, but it is a magnificent set.
Since you are so desperate to get my attention, Johnny…
Take DrBeau’s advice. And sleep it off.
Correct, Crossie.
I’m all in favour of dumb “progressivises” loading up their media enemies like Sky News with revenue. We hate you!!! Here, have some money! Financially, it’s hilarious.
Good point. I’ll try doing the same.

The sax player came up with the riff that made an otherwise bland song a hit.
I saw Al Stewart at the Royal Albert Hall in London in 2013. He told the story of Year of the Cat which was a hit from a similar time as Baker Street. He said the producer (Alan Parsons) said the song needed a saxophone solo. What to do? They were recording in Abbey Road and someone said a bloke lived a few streets away. The bloke named Phil Kenzie dragged himself away from the tele went to the studio and nailed a great improvised saxophone solo in two takes. I don’t really like the sax but it works so well on Baker Street and Year of the Cat. Kenzie played the solo live at the concert in 2013 using the same saxophone.
If my instincts of WA epic construction serve me well, I can predict that within ten years, C6 will be-
-constructed to an all-new recipe, mainly involving Malaysian chipboard
-re-named something Nyoongah
-full of Han commerce students
-and owned by a Canadian investment fund.

Ha ha Wally. Your cynicism even exceeds mine. I suspect you’re right. Full of Asian students going to Curtin till their parent’s paperwork comes through.

Joe Aston – the man has made his mark.
His ability to effortlessly denounce the tall poppies (real or imagined in their lunchtimes) has set him apart from just about every other alleged “journalist” in the braindead ozzie lamestream meeja. That he purveyed his work denouncing pollies and corporate spivs in our own legendary anti-business daily made it even more delicious.
His takedowns of some of the ridiculous pompous sanctimonious corrupt and quite frankly preposterous narcissists that are insultingly held up to us as some sort of role models or ideals to aspire to will become the stuff of legend. The man never boasted about purveying quality journalism (i.e. not “j’ism”) he just went out there out and did it.
Full steam ahead and damn the defamation suits.
Salute, Squire. Epic work. We need some more and now more than ever.
Do not allow yourself to be muzzled by baubles and bimbettes.
How do you deal with parents who won’t send their children to school, for fear of “losing their culture?”
Vile cynical gutter communist politics – trying to unite the two most obnoxious tribes of insoluble inbred imbeciles against the mainstream.
Never forget, collectivism cannot exist without many, many enemies, real or imagined.

This is beyond arrogance it scary. You know conversations and planning are happening among the ‘elite.’
This goes against the ethos of America. The Establishment is losing in the arena of ideas despite control all levers of influence. Are re-education camps next?
This could end in bloodshed.

Three young children of friends of one of my children were killed in a plane crash this afternoon.
Please pray for them and their poor grieving families.
Rosie, dreadful news. My thoughts and prayers.
“Sliante” to you, and yours. Mine’s a large Port Charlotte, heavily peated.
Whilst enjoying the televisual feast that is Outsiders* of a Sunday morning as one might do so, I’ve not noticed the hideously uglee bald headed flog that is the Morrow** denouncing the outsized Orange Person who possesses a matching house sized rear end, not to mention some of the most atrocious taste (or complete lack of it) in the history of humanity.

How can people make beautiful music like this and make war?

I normally don’t like live music, but this is the best rendition of Jerry Rafferty’s “Baker Street” I’ve ever heard. Marvellous!
