I just loved wearing the face mask and sunglasses and my big hat when I withdrew money from the Bank ATM during the ‘Virus Non Crisis’. If the wank bank and Guv’ment could recognise me on the ATM camera then good luck to them.
But I don’t fink’ so. T.W.A.T.S. all of them.
Exactly what it says. If things get really bad you won’t be able to tell if someone is politically aligned, or a decent person. It will default to exactly what it has for millennia. Does that person look like me?
Have a good hard look at the ethnic divides there are now, like Indians preferring to hire their family or other Indians, or suburbs like Redfern and Lakemba (remember police telling Lauren Southern not to go there?) and tell me that it won’t be the default. Hell look at some of the research out there about in group preferences.
That’s not to say I want it to happen BTW. Just that it will be the reality. That lizard brain is incredibly hard to switch off.
It’s a judgment made by child protection officers after notification of a potential case (by, for example, a teacher) and its subsequent investigation.

LOL. So good to wind you up. You WIMP.
You seem to have a very selective memory about your constant obtuse abuse of many posters here. I fink’ that your dementia is becoming quite obvious now.
You are the short arse wog here. I am just a pommy bastard. Fark off you T.W.A.T.
And the word ‘limey’ is USA’n. Are you really an Australian or just an imposter?
And relying on Dotty Dot of Dottiness is just like you – hiding behind someone else’s pathetic comments.
Well, I have a thick skin but you have a thick head. You Sictorian Pompous Windbag.
STFU and try to learn how the US Congress works.
So it was an observation, not an exhortation.
OK.
There is an epidemic of mentally ill people who run academia. It’s bad enough that universities all across the U.S. are tainted by leftist professors, but with these kinds of people, we are reaching new levels.
Transgender UC Davis Professor Jemma Decristo made threats against Jews last week after Hamas terrorists ambushed Israel and slaughtered more than 1,300 Jews.
The professor referenced ‘Zionist journalists’ and was quoted as saying on his/her UC Davis page: “one group of ppl we have easy access to in the US is all these zionist journalists who spread propaganda and misinformation, they have houses w addresses, kids in school, they can fear their bosses, but they should fear us more.” After the quote there are emojis with a knife, axe, and blood droplets.

You can tell by the poor spelling and grammar.
“The most recent Child Protection Australia data release by the AIHW shows that Indigenous children were less likely to be the subject of a substantiated notification of child sexual abuse in 2021-22 (6.8 per cent of substantiations) than were non-Indigenous children (9 per cent of substantiations).”
…
hmmm…
Im noticing..
https://aifs.gov.au/resources/policy-and-practice-papers/child-abuse-and-neglect-indigenous-australian-communities
(be sure to look at the grovelling “we are white dog c*nts doing this study and not worthy preface.)
It is clear that Indigenous children are significantly over-represented in most statutory child protection systems. Based on notifications (or reports) to child protection departments around Australia in 2001-2002, 3,254 Indigenous children under 17 years had some form of abuse substantiated – that is, the statutory protection authority believed that abuse or neglect had occurred (AIHW 2003). This rate of substantiation was on average 4.3 times higher (for all types of abuse) in the Indigenous population than in the non-Indigenous population. The rate varied widely between states, with Victoria and Western Australia having a substantiation rate nearly eight times higher for Indigenous children than non-Indigenous children. Indigenous children were the subject of proportionately fewer substantiations for sexual abuse than non-Indigenous children and proportionately higher substantiations for neglect than non-Indigenous children.
….
Once a report is made, there may be a number of reasons why the substantiation rate of sexual abuse is lower for Indigenous than for non-Indigenous children. It is possible that child protection authorities and other professions with the responsibility to protect the child are uncertain about what the best response would be, particularly in the legacy of the ‘stolen generation’ when many Indigenous children were removed from their family and community. It is also possible that practitioners are overwhelmed by the size, complexity and number of problems experienced by Indigenous communities. Problems created by a lack of resources (such as a lack of appropriate Indigenous substitute carers accessible to the community) may create uncertainty about what is best for an Indigenous child – remaining with some level of risk, or facing the adverse impact of cultural dislocation.
get that – being buggered up the bum by unkle badfinger is preferable to a dislocated culture…
That whole paper makes depressing reading, its cosistantly “we know the problem, but we will act as though applying the same standards to Aboriginal people is racist…

Never thought of that possibility, Sanchez. It very well be the Ladyboy taking over and posting here.
Well, yeah? Why would you think otherwise? There are no winners in a “civil” war, or significant unrest.
One reason I oppose mass immigration is there’s no filter as to people assimilating into society. I think the Swiss have something, in that the local community have to approve of you, but most of the western world doesn’t.
There also has to be enough of the dominant culture to assimilate into, and I think Australia is past the point where there is enough of that culture. It takes generations for people to assimilate, how many of the Greek and Italian families that came post WW2 still declare they’re Greek or Italian for example, despite a couple of generations being born here and not speaking a word of the language?
In contrast, I don’t think I’ve met anyone from the Polish post war immigration that you could tell, bar a funny last name.
@Dot … OK you and the 6 confirm away … Go your hardest… I never enter into a discussion where I know I will be roundly agreed with . What value? What could I possibly learn ? ..

The most powerful article I’ve yet read on the Voice shambles – and the state of modern Australia. And he calls out Bruce Pascoe for the fake he is:
Real truths that should be told after the Indigenous voice to parliament referendum
GEOFFREY BLAINEY
It must be hard for a prime minister to admit that he has been crushingly defeated in an electoral contest that he originally expected to win with ease. In one segment of his speech last Saturday night, Anthony Albanese praised himself as a bold man of conviction – as if he had actually won the referendum.
Many viewers who at first sympathised with the Prime Minister on television regretted that he did not directly congratulate the two Aboriginal leaders who especially defeated him.
Only one sentence was needed. He failed to speak that sentence. Yet in our long political history this probably was the most significant public victory yet achieved by Aboriginal campaigners. Moreover, they had fully digested and then condemned the controversial Uluru Statement from the Heart, but Albanese had not even digested it. As a political leader he has his merits, but command of crucial detail is not yet one of them.
Alongside him on election night was Indigenous Australians Minister Linda Burney. She offered no congratulations to Jacinta Nampijinpa Price, the talented senator by whom she had been overshadowed and outgunned this year.
In the past 60 years there were notable victories in achieving Aboriginal goals but they owed more to mainstream or white Australian political leaders The victories also owed as much to High Court judges. Here was a unique event – a national triumph for two true-blue Aboriginal leaders, Nyunggai Warren Mundine and Price.
Crucial to the national debate is the health of Indigenous people. It is often proclaimed to be a matter of urgency, almost of shame, that they have a “life expectancy eight years shorter than non-Indigenous Australians”.
But that fact, standing on its own, is misleading. The life expectancy of us all, Aboriginal people included, has improved dramatically since 1788. Nearly every country in Africa has a much lower life expectation than Indigenous Australia. Even the EU displays more than an eight-year gap between member nations. There is even a wide gap between north and south England.
Today Aboriginal Australians have a life expectancy equal to that of Bulgaria and rural Romania. Their life expectancy is higher than that in Russia and Ukraine. It is about the same as the average citizen of the world. Indeed, it soon would be improved if those Aboriginal men aged 40 and older were not heavy smokers. Of course we in the Western world – my generation included – taught them to smoke.
Ownership of land remains another divisive topic. Federal departments some years ago should have investigated what proved to be right or wrong, sensible or misguided, in the way vast areas of land were transferred to Indigenous people. Should these new possessors of the land be exempted from paying taxes on this new but erratic source of income? Moreover, should the families who lived on native title lands be able to build a house and own the land? Instead, most of such land is held collectively, almost in Soviet fashion.
Here is one of the most remarkable ventures in Australia’s modern history, indeed in world history, but some of the key effects are blanketed in silence or dispute.
In all, an area of land twice as large as Indonesia and eight times as large as France has been transferred to Aboriginal Australians since 1975. The supporters of this transfer tend to excuse it or apologise for it by asserting that it is largely desert or semi-desert, but in fact it embraces or borders one of the main mining regions in the world. It also contains mini-regions with high rainfall and a potential for tropical agriculture as well as large expanses that are reserved for environmental reasons.
Gary Johns, a minister in the Keating government, later became an alert investigator into Aboriginal affairs. In The Burden of Culture he is brave enough to conclude that the introduction of native title has proved to be a dubious reform: “The benefits are few and fitful; the costs are high; the disputes are many; the system will need to be propped up forever on the pretence that native title holders can contribute to the ‘north’ of Australia, or indeed, the remainder of Australia.”
In Johns’ opinion, these unique kinds of land tenure that now occupy a little more than half of the nation are based on the faith that all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have a spiritual affinity with their tribal lands, to which their spirit or soul, on death, must return.
But most Indigenous people even in the Outback no longer cling to the religious faith that underpins the concept of native title. The censuses of 2016 and 2021 make this clear. I believe most Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are far, far better off today than if they were living in 1788. Price, after recently expressing a similar belief, was flayed by critics who had faint idea what daily life ashore was like before the coming of the First Fleet. Unfortunately, a minority of Aboriginal people still have to struggle with two different values and ways of life.
This land is infinitely more fruitful than it was in 1788, and most Aboriginal people are now the gainers. The whole globe gains too. In some years Australia produces enough food to sustain probably 100 million people in the world as a whole. In the past decade it has produced for at least one billion people the minerals with which to build aircraft, railways, motorways, ships, cars, power stations, schools, stadiums and city apartments. Likewise, here in this continent arose a democratic society that, for all its imperfections, offers liberty in a world where liberty is not normal.
The idea that Aboriginal people could have remained, even today, the only occupiers of this huge expanse of land is fanciful.
How can the 1000 or more Aboriginal towns be helped? Have such tiny and remote towns a future? The question has to be asked again and again. It is an experiment rarely conducted in modern history – the creation of isolated towns that grow little of their own food, rely heavily on subsidies and social welfare, are mostly too small to attract a capable nurse, police officer or teacher, and provide few jobs for their poorly educated children. Most of these Aboriginal towns are too far apart to share amenities. They are also marred by family violence.
The Uluru statement laments the high numbers of Aboriginal men in jail but does not mention that so many are there because they bash the women of their own race. This message Price has emphasised. Without saying so too loudly, she knows the so-called Stolen Generations were often Aboriginal children who had to be rescued for the sake of their own safety and welfare.
Such remote and tiny towns can exist only in a nation that is wealthy enough to subsidise them on a generous scale. Yet many are eyesores, viewed by their few visitors as blots on the nation that allows them to exist.
One argument in their favour is that the older people wish to retain their own culture and to oppose assimilation by an alien culture. On the other hand, the recent censuses reveal that Christian pastors – mostly Aboriginal – are more influential here than in most suburbs of Sydney and Melbourne.
A simple, short and accurate statement of the rival Yes and No cases is required for every referendum. This year, small but rival groups of federal parliamentarians had each summarised the arguments to be printed, side-by-side, in Your Official Referendum Booklet. The Australian government then printed millions of copies. Translated into many Indigenous and foreign languages, it reached more households than any bestselling novel in our history. At the front of the booklet, readers are assured they will find valuable information on where and how to vote if they turn to page 21. But the editors had forgotten to number the final pages.
Even enthusiastic citizens must have been bored or even bamboozled, except for the occasional short quotations from lawyers speaking with some authority.
Alas, the booklet did not even print the one-page Uluru Statement from the Heart. As this referendum involved more factors than any other in the past 100 years, a lucid source of information was vital. The booklet failed.
In contrast, at the 1999 referendum on the proposed republic, a committee of four lawyers and historians – presided over by Ninian Stephen, the former High Court judge and governor-general – had issued a readable and careful assessment of the rival arguments. The present government seemed unwise to ignore such a precedent.
Australia is one of the oldest continuous democracies in the world. Democracy is government by debate. The federation and the commonwealth were born only after long and extensive democratic debate extending from 1889 to 1900. In contrast, the present government has shunned or tried to minimise debate.
We can now see that the debate conducted during the past year was indirectly a clash about two conflicting views of this nation’s history.
Albanese’s view is of an Aboriginal Australia that was – for 60,000 or more years – a form of utopia. His vision owed much to historian Bruce Pascoe, an engaging speaker who by pretending to be Aboriginal tended to convince young people, and their teachers too, that he possessed an insider’s knowledge. Pascoe claimed the Aboriginal people invented democracy and that they lived in peace and prosperity until the Europeans invaded.
The present government and its leader can hardly be attacked when the heads of the University of Melbourne, RMIT University and other universities actually promote a similar black-armband version of Australia’s history.
Albanese was captivated by a heroic version of history even before he won the federal election last year.
Persuaded that such a version had been deliberately hidden from us all, he announced that since 1788 our nation had provided largely a history of brutality – until the era of multiculturalism arrived. One day his project – though defeated in last Saturday’s referendum – may provoke or inspire a total rewriting of Australia’s history. Its official names will be Truth-telling and Makarrata, for they are embodied in the short Uluru statement: a document containing highly vulnerable accusations against mainstream Australia as well as several sobering statements about Aboriginal distress today.
There are two different Australias. Admittedly, many Aboriginal Australians live in unsatisfactory and even appalling conditions. Also true is that a larger number in urban Australia have become important ingredients of our success as a modern nation. They are often overlooked.
On election night we often gathered from commentators the idea that most Aboriginal Australians lived in the Northern Territory or in remote tropical outposts to the east and west. In fact, NSW, especially Sydney and its far western hinterland, is the nation’s stronghold of Aboriginal people.
More live there than in any other state and territory; and an update from the Australian Bureau of Statistics shows the surprising advances they have made in the 10 years from 2011 to 2021. Their life expectations are higher than the referendum booklet dismally reported. Of their houses, the overwhelming numbers are not overcrowded.
More than 40 per cent of these houses are owned outright or with a mortgage. The proportion of their students who pass year 12 or attend university and other tertiary institutions has soared. Successful Aboriginal leader Mundine, originally a tradie, was reared in one of these towns far west of Sydney.
The Uluru statement, compiled by the leading large group of Indigenous activists, concludes that a revolutionary new era is beginning: “We leave base camp and start our trek across this vast country.” But hosts of Aboriginal people have little need to leave their base camp in the big towns and cities and go trekking.
They belong to the 21st century and share in its opportunities.

Cronkite, fair enough. There’s a slight problem here, though. Meloni is often grandstanding about family values and keeping out illegals.
1. She’s been holed up for 10 years, unmarried, and has had a kid with a creep.
2. She let the German NGO arseholes off the hook and allowed that island to be overrun.

What accounts for it?
The Victorian “yarook” mob where whining about overreporting of Aboriginal families, something like 4-7 times more (from memory) the rest of the population.
By carefully defining it I suspect the numbers are higher, but they are able to fall back on a lower % by notification.
If they are doing that then its disgustingly political, not factual.
I wondered why you raised skin colour in a discussion of culture. In my vie wit is not, in itself, determinative of whether a person belongs to a culture or not – many other attributes come before that.
You’ve clarified why you mentioned it – thanks for that. I do hope the scenario you envisage never comes about.
That is my suspicion also, mole.

Dissidents … God Bless them … Truth tellers . They would never draw blood … just try to wake us up to ourselves…
Yes it is.
My point was more about how that might be applied consistently in a community where a child lives with adults who are unlikely to report potential or actual cases and the child doesn’t attend school, or otherwise come to the attention of someone who might report abuse.
And then where the chances of a child safety officer investigating and taking prompt action are limited by resources, remoteness and cultural ‘sensitivity’.
My take is that children’s interests are possibly not best served by the agencies supposedly serving them when those agencies are also deeply engaged in cultural politics.
But I could just be a mislead stupid racist.

It’s the culture, OO. The culture cannot mix with any other culture except by violence and domination. There is no other culture in existence that Islam is not violently opposed to, or gathering strength to become violent towards.
1400+ years of conflict and our political elite still refuses to see the long term threat – all they see is the short term gain.
At some stage we will have to fight them for our own existence.

‘CAN’T DO ANYTHING’: ‘Wicked’ ace card Hamas has over Israel
Hamas can’t match Israeli firepower but it has one advantage over that may see it use this highly unconventional and unpredictable war tactic.
Map of Gaza’s complex tunnel network reveals Israel’s mammoth task
Hamas knows it can’t match Israeli firepower in the air, sea or ground. So it’s drawing the conflict into a territory over which its fighters have complete control: underground.
“You can’t see there. You can’t breathe there. You can’t communicate. You can’t navigate. You can’t shoot. You can’t do anything unless you have specialised equipment and specialised training,” says US West Point military academy urban warfare expert John Spencer. “At this scale, it will be a massive challenge.”
It’s a challenge of which Israel’s defence force is well aware.
“Think of the Gaza Strip as one layer for civilians and then another layer for Hamas. We are trying to get to that second layer that Hamas has built,” a military spokesperson said.
And it has had a taste of this network before.
During a 2021 clash within the Gaza Strip, Israel claimed it used precision air strikes to demolish more than 100 kilometres of tunnels. Hamas retorted that it had 500 kilometres of tunnels, and only 5 per cent had been damaged.
Probably a Very Dumb Question and perhaps the CAT Military Bloggers can answer for me
Given Russia has used thermobaric weapons – also known as vacuum bombs
– A thermobaric bomb (also called a vacuum or aerosol bomb – or fuel air explosive) consists of a fuel container with two separate explosive charges.
The Question is – Why wouldn’t you when you find the entrance to a Tunnel – pump a Fuel Air Mix into the Tunnel and Ignite It?
@ Knuckle Dragger… and so you speak on behalf of enquiring minds?
How does a thermobaric bomb work?
A thermobaric bomb (also called a vacuum or aerosol bomb – or fuel air explosive) consists of a fuel container with two separate explosive charges.
This can be launched as a rocket or dropped as a bomb from aircraft. When it hits its target, the first explosive charge opens the container and widely scatters fuel mixture as a cloud.
This cloud can penetrate any building openings or defences that are not totally sealed.
A second charge then detonates the cloud, resulting in a huge fireball, a massive blast wave and a vacuum which sucks up all surrounding oxygen.
The weapon can destroy reinforced buildings, equipment and kill or injure people.
Who also did not recieve Marcia’s memo.
They don’t seem to take much notice of her do they?
@ OldOzzie … I find this whole “who blew up whom and with what” conversation baffling. It is some time since I used explosives but I could tell you the Brand of Fractuer … or Gelignite … of definitely ANFO …just from the delightful after blast aroma … and I was a mere civilian …

Why wouldn’t you when you find the entrance to a Tunnel – pump a Fuel Air Mix into the Tunnel and Ignite It?
I’m just an army brat with no service myself but I believe the US tried gassing out the Viet Cong in their tunnel system. Problem was the VC had anticipated this response and had simple airlocks like a kitchen sink trap. Hamas is likely to have similar engineering designs.
One of the funniest comments for a while was asking if Bovver Boys were also keeping close to each other in order to stay warm. Forget who it was.
No reason not to, except you run the risk of some offshoot of the tunnel you don’t know about running under something important, or being stuffed with God’s own stash of explosives.
Another other option might be flooding the tunnels with seawater. Or tear gas.
To this point they have used the ‘bury them in a mountain of rubble by dropping the whole neighborhood on top of them’ technique with great apparent success as the IDF seem to have penetrated much farther into Gaza than is being announced publicly.
OldOzzie
If they have been well made then there should be plenty of doglegs & multiple ventilation/ entry/ exit points for tunnels.
Doglegs were pretty standard for well constructed WW1 defences, as the blast doesnt travel round corners very well.
You could wreck a lot of entrances but miss most of the underground structure I think.
Im not an expert on thermobaric stuff though, Im sure someone else will dig up better info.

You the Dipstick are the Abuse Queen. From Day one you have tried to pile into me. And, you still have a go at so many other posters here.
Having lived in this Great Country along with my Parents, sisters, brothers, Uncles, Aunties, nephews, nieces and lovely daughter. Just STFU.
You seem to live a very sad life down there in Sictoria. Go to NY and play with the sad Demo C Rats.

Nelson at Trafalgar
Nelson: “Order the signal, Hardy.”
Hardy: “Aye, aye sir.”
Nelson: “Hold on, this isn’t what I dictated to Flags. What’s the meaning of this?”
Hardy: “Sorry sir?”
Nelson (reading aloud): „ England expects every person to do his or her duty, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, religious persuasion or disability.’ – What gobbledygook is this for God’s sake?”
Hardy: “Admiralty policy, I’m afraid, sir. We’re an equal opportunities employer now. We had the devil’s own job getting „ England ” past the censors, lest it be considered racist.”
Nelson: “Gadzooks, Hardy. Hand me my pipe and tobacco.”
Hardy: “Sorry sir. All naval vessels have now been designated smoke-free working environments.”
Nelson: “In that case, break open the rum ration. Let us splice the main brace to steel the men before battle.”
Hardy: “The rum ration has been abolished, Admiral. Its part of the Government’s policy on binge drinking.”
Nelson: “Good heavens, Hardy. I suppose we’d better get on with it full speed ahead.”
Hardy: “I think you’ll find that there’s a 4 knot speed limit in this stretch of water.”
Nelson: “Damn it man! We are on the eve of the greatest sea battle in history. We must advance with all dispatch. Report from the crow’s nest, please.”
Hardy: “That won’t be possible, sir.”
Nelson: “What?”
Hardy: “Health and Safety have closed the crow’s nest, sir. No harness; and they said that rope ladders don’t meet regulations. They won’t let anyone up there until proper scaffolding can be erected.”
Nelson: “Then get me the ship’s carpenter without delay, Hardy.”
Hardy: “He’s busy knocking up a wheelchair access to the foredeck Admiral.”
Nelson: “Wheelchair access? I’ve never heard anything so absurd.”
Hardy: “Health and safety again, sir. We have to provide a barrier- free environment for the differently abled.”
Nelson: “Differently abled? I’ve only one arm and one eye and I refuse even to hear mention of the word. I didn’t rise to the rank of admiral by playing the disability card.”
Hardy: “Actually, sir, you did. The Royal Navy is under- represented in the areas of visual impairment and limb deficiency.”
Nelson: “Whatever next? Give me full sail. The salt spray beckons.”
Hardy: “A couple of problems there too, sir. Health and safety won’t let the crew up the rigging without hard hats. And they don’t want anyone breathing in too much salt – haven’t you seen the adverts?”
Nelson: “I’ve never heard such infamy. Break out the cannon and tell the men to stand by to engage the enemy.”
Hardy: “The men are a bit worried about shooting at anyone, Admiral.”
Nelson: “What? This is mutiny!”
Hardy: “It’s not that, sir. It’s just that they’re afraid of being charged with murder if they actually kill anyone. There are a couple of legal-aid lawyers on board, watching everyone like hawks.”
Nelson: “Then how are we to sink the Frenchies and the Spanish?”
Hardy: “Actually, sir, we’re not.”
Nelson: “We’re not?”
Hardy: “No, sir.. The French and the Spanish are our European partners now. According to the Common Fisheries Policy, we shouldn’t even be in this stretch of water. We could get hit with a claim for compensation.”
Nelson: “But you must hate a Frenchman as you hate the devil.”
Hardy: “I wouldn’t let the ship’s diversity coordinator hear you saying that sir. You’ll be up on disciplinary report.”
Nelson: “You must consider every man an enemy, who speaks ill of your King.”
Hardy: “Not any more, sir. We must be inclusive in this multicultural age. Now put on your Kevlar vest; it’s the rules. It could save your life”
Nelson: “Don’t tell me – Health and Safety. Whatever happened to rum, sodomy and the lash?”
Hardy: As I explained, sir, rum is off the menu! And there’s a ban on corporal punishment.”
Nelson: “What about sodomy?”
Hardy: “I believe that is now legal, sir.”
Nelson: “In that case………………. Kiss me, Hardy.”
When the Hamas leadership is dead, Gaza is liberated and they grudgingly get along with Israeli as does the West Bank, yes.

Explain how the Speaker pro tempore cannot make decisions in the same way as an elected permanent Speaker. After all they are both elected and what happens when the speaker is incapacitated? House rules can be altered. The WaPo mention some silly constitutional argument. It’s just Democrat squealing. The only mention is that the House “chuses” the Speaker and other officers, in 1788 speak. The idea that it cannot pass legislation now is just disinformation to demoralise you. Ignore it. Source document:
https://www.archives.gov/founding-docs/constitution-transcript
Read the last clause of section 2, Article I:
The House of Representatives shall chuse their Speaker and other Officers; and shall have the sole Power of Impeachment.

@ OldOzzie … I find this whole “who blew up whom and with what” conversation baffling. It is some time since I used explosives but I could tell you the Brand of Fractuer … or Gelignite … of definitely ANFO …just from the delightful after blast aroma … and I was a mere civilian …
Not a connoisseur …
Mark,
on my 2 week Australian Army Pathfinder Explosives Course at Singelton, I used Det Cord, Gelignite, Plastic explosive, Detonators into Primers – always crimped Det Cord to Detonator behind ones back – Learn use of Shaped Charges – Interesting experience, other than having led the team digging shelter in side of creek, when no one volunteered, the OIC picked me to stay with him in shelter and as the others retreated to the top of a hill a mile away, had 1,000 Punds of explosive going off behind us – Rubble fell on the others a mile away – my heart was pounding – area was destroted with our various explosive tasks
Stonemason Father-in-law used black blasting powder tamped into holes in Sandstone Block we were blasting with Detonator set off by Hand Plunger similar to this
To this point they have used the ‘bury them in a mountain of rubble by dropping the whole neighborhood on top of them’ technique with great apparent success as the IDF seem to have penetrated much farther into Gaza than is being announced publicly.
I’m sure they (Israelis) are well versed in keeping the media in the dark and well away from their Gaza plans … personally, I favour the “no quarter”, no info approach, no none-Israeli media embed and when it’s all over announce “we’ll be making a full statement when the time is right ” … followed by some “seismic” activity in Iran and several, unaccounted for, disruptions in both Qatar & Lebanon …….
Thanks P!

Sorry Johnny but I don’t think we should be promoting an ongoing fraud perpetrated by a convicted fraudster.
There is no innocent reason why a 20 year old would have a blue octopus toy in her pro-Gaza photo op. I’m struggling to find one. So, the unfortunate conclusion is that it’s meant, as a signal, a tap on the nose for the in crowd.
I see she has dispensed with the Pippi Longstocking plaits. Getting a bit long in the tooth at 20, almost 21.
Palestine, transsexualism, globull warming, crt , open borders and Marxist identity politics are the cans being kicked by the Marxist establishment. Serve to undermine the nuclear family and the nation state.

I was fortunate enough to have had some guidance from my elders and betters, as to not confining it in metal or glass .. no my bombs were all duct taped … some ducks flew off some ponds.
But later on I worked with proper professional explosives … I was retrospectively terrified at the risks I had taken …
And at the end of every job …gosh … lots of powder left and we just happen to by driving by the tip .. Oh a wrecked car ?

Heh – as an 8 years old used to buy saltpetere, from memory Selbys Chemicals off Burns Bay Road down from Lane Cove, and put into Silver Milk Bottle caps – fold over and place them tram tracks – like a firecracker going off, but not as exciting as Double Bunger in Mail Box – Not sure how my Single Mother survived me.

I assumed the IDF were doing some refresher practice exercises. Just to get all their ducks lined up in a row.
@ OldOzzie my multiple Mother didnt survive me ..I went to Tazzie to celebrate her 80th and my 60th .. but she carked it before I even got there … Mothers ? !! my Goodness me who would have one ? There is so much to go wrong with them … so unreliable 😉
Weill said Brother … Peace.
Calli – thank you for the Greenfield article. It explains so much. The massive increase in work permits over the last few years to the youth of Gaza to work in kibbutzim & other venues provided the opportunity for Hamas to execute their atrocities. It was a huge error of judgment by Israel & they have paid an horrific price. The fact that many of these assassins knew the families they slaughtered makes the tragedy more unbearable.
100%. Plus all the WTC and signage on buildings and in offices and the constant use by ABC of Aboriginal place names etc etc.
“Kindergartens doing the fake Aboriginal welcome to country is to brainwash the next generation in to accepting they dont/cant/never will own the land and to shame them into paying a rent tax to them. Classic.”
The Westminster Declaration on the abhorrence of the Censorship structure being hauled into place is worth a read.

Vicki, it’s worse than an error of judgement. They were encouraged by the usual suspects.
They were actively lobbied by the US to increase from around 7,500 to over 35,000 permits. No one could be expected to police this. If you’ve ever been stuck at the Bethlehem/Jerusalem checkpoint, you’ll know.
Whether it was meant or not, US meddling in Israel has cost scores of innocent lives.

Also, she’s a 19yo chick studying Health Sciences at ANU, not Fatima living in a village in Goatherderstan, with her and her 3 sisters happily married to their 1st cousin after graduating kindergarten and completing their education.
In general, someone who knows to raise as many intersectional barriers as possible to portray themselves as a victim is unlikely to be clueless about modern sanitary methods, or be squeamish about using tampons.
Although I have to say that she might be in trouble. Her statement clearly implies that men cannot menstruate, and is thus subject to referral to the Cancel Council* who are likely to cancel her. At the very least, I’d expect her Woman of Colour and Woman from a Multicultural Background licences to be suspended.
*has this been used before? If not, I’m coining it. The Cancel Council is not unlike the similarly-named Cancer Council in its benevolence, but its mission is far more important and its authority much greater than the Cancer Council’s.
Whoops..-.55%.

Fun how all the usual suspects got so excited when a bunch of astroturf Nazis turned up to berate Ms Deeming. Now when thousands of real Nazis appear there’s crickets.
Nyt has a paywalled article about the resumption of aid entering Gaza.
The possibility of weapons being introduced remains a possibility and not surprisingly Israel doesn’t want to supply hamas with fuel.
BBC is also reporting that Israel wants to have nothing to do with Gaza in the future, no supply of any kind, no entry of Gazans into Israel.
In the circumstances not surprising.
