‘Everyone’ is at risk: Gruesome flesh-eating bacteria spreads across Australia
There is no reason for Albo to go to Israel.
Diplomatic support giving Israel the green light to clean the chronometers of Hamas (h/t Star Trek) is all that Albo needs to do.
Removed it?
Was it something we said?
Have you removed all history from the Innernets?
Have you told Marty?
Another ASX battering. All Ords down 59.7 (-.80%) to 7030. ASX/S&P 200 down 56.9 to 6844.
On the plus side, think of it as offering up a few (relative) bargains – although I don’t think the slide is over yet.
I understand that the editor of Quadrant shut down comments on the Israeli/Palestine issue, since one particular contributor apparently crossed the boundary of “free speech”.
From my reading of articles in today’s Australian Spectator, it should seem that this publication is facing the same problem. It is one thing to enter into a deeply heated argument – and this happens almost every day on the Cat – it is another to cross the border of decency in the disputed ground of anti-Semitism.
I love the exacting odds, but it’s probably right.
When the Israeli’s left, in 2005, they left behind an established industry, growing fruit and vegetables in greenhouses.
Rioting Palestinians destroyed the lot.
I think someone got 127 here one day for something non-Lizzie related.

If Israel depopulates northern Gaza, why do they need to take land?
If there is a no-mans land by default, isn’t that one objective met?
Genuine questions.
I saw a report this morning that a recon group of IDF was hit, 1 killed and 3 wounded. Still, this is not the same as a full-fledged operation. That’s what I’m asking in the poll.
Does anyone have bad net service on mobile or on a laptop at home now?
Is it because of the war? I swear this happened when the RU/UA sparked up.
It’s been crap for roughly two weeks for me so…
Think of a dynamic disincentive effect.
I’m really surprised Biden didn’t pop in on the Saudi’s last week.
That is going to be what I’m looking at in the next poll.
Dot, if northern Gaza is uninhabitable, doesn’t that achieve the same goal without occupying the shit hole with all the problems that goes along with it?
Dover
Honest question, what are you trying to gain from the poll? What and why would it be considered important if say it’s tomorrow, a week or a month?
That’s certainly what happened when the green-progressive religion got its hands on our education system.
You can tell Kosha Gada has benefited from US dental work.
Full on Hollywood teeth.
No. Military bases can be placed in “uninhabitable” land. Occupy? Annex.
Israel will invade when everyone least expects it.
Taking land is “conventional”.
Now is not the time for conventional thinking.
Also, the pundits keep talking about the dangers of a two front war. Why would that be a problem for Israel though with a couple of hundred thousand troops to play with?
I don’t see Gaza as a labor intensive operation. It has to be a more careful strategy in urban warfare I think.
The haz has supposedly 100,000 fighters, but they can’t all be devoted to fighting Israel because their territories would be threatened in Leb.
How about a nuclear minefield ?
Military bases can be placed in “uninhabitable” land.
It was a failure in Afghanistan.
Unless you are planning Roman style retaliation, there’s a heavy price to pay.
Bravo, Davey Boy.
A talented Cat indeed.
In the coffee shop today for a free (!) read of The Australian, and a couple of little kids came into the play area which, unfortunately, was just behind me. They were Miss Six and Master Four. Miss Six seated herself and said – ‘this is my combuter.’ Master Four said ‘this is my combutor.’ And on they went, incoherent babble to me.
Point is, who would have imagined even 20 years ago that six and four year olds would be talking like this? And, I’m in Queanbeyan, one of the heartlands of ignorant, redneck, bla bla bla territory that failed to comprehend the light-strewn pathway that was The Voice. Why, every day I interact with people who don’t even have a degree! Imagine that!
Anyway, the yoof of Gaza may well be adept at online rabble-rousing againt Israel. Not sure that it is much help on the CV in the big world.
While I’m here, could I mention yet another ongoing and annoying example of contemporary ‘journalists’ innumeracy?
They use ‘a fraction’ as though it means a small proportion. You know, TheirABC will say that some government program addresses ‘only a fraction’ of the perceived need, with the strong implication that it is completely inadequate.
99/100 is a fraction, morons. You have no idea what the word means. And, apparently there is no-one in the editorial hierarchy who does, either.
No wonder they just regurgitate whatever the ‘experts’ in the ABC Giant Rolodex of Virtue tell them. 🙁
that’s where this whole tick-shit started
Lizzie, I’m sure you’re a lovely person but honestly sometimes the things you say here have attracted much disapproval.
and when there were only up-ticks available then it was usually whoever cracked the best joke at your expense that accrued all the up-ticks
you were right saying that they were weaponised, though in my opinion, not in the way you think they were.
It was probably unfair at the time … but you did dig yr heels in which showed remarkable tenacity though it was at times both tragic and funny in equal measure
my response has ever been the same since back then.
if the place had up-ticks and their purpose was rendered meaningless, then the answer was to also have down-ticks
…or no ticks at all, though I don’t think I ever actually said as much
I don’t believe for second ticking was abused in the manner that the JC character promoted.
or “pimped” might be a better word
that vicious self-aggrandizing clown blew smoke up your arse the whole time, in my opinion diminishing you while he did
and since then his troupe of clowns have used the idea as a stalking-horse to attack anybody they took exception to … who were many.
saving the forum they called it
what’s it been now with down-ticks? .. a few weeks?
the shrieking from the Clown Posse has been relentless the whole time and it’s only reaching a crescendo now
rather than a gesture loaded full of innuendo and accusation, an up or a down should say exactly up or down and nothing more.
Ask your self who changed the value of a tick
… some more than others seem to have an unhealthy investment in what a tick is worth
and everybody here is cheapened by their behavior
it’s disgusting
Given that the Iranian FM was there last week and Blinken’s treatment, its not surprising in the least.
Excess levels of synthetic oestrogen in the water supplies going into Gaza. Give it ten years.
“Israel steps up attacks” sez Seven News. “The rush to save Australians”.
It’s hard to describe my disgust at our media. It’s as if Oct 7 never happened, as if there are no hostages, as if Hamas hasn’t been bombing the crap out of Israel for years.
And those “Aussies”…? They’re in Gaza.
Decide for yourselves. I’m over it.
Anglo-Norman defensive assimilative imperialism.
I hope that sounded intelligent and unintelligible, like Kissinger.
Good heavens! Talk about the five o’clock rush.
My kudos to Davey boy referred to his excellent talent for anagrams way, way back now on the thread.
Keep at it, Davey.
For the general case of the commutative laws of mathematics to hold, for proper fractions, this must be true.
If you don’t like updicks and downdicks, may I suggest that you take a deep breath and
ignore them.
Pity the Israelis, facing a full-blown war, and every virtue-signalling politician on the planet wants a photo opportunity and security and protocol and plush accommodation and briefings.
I hope they are telling them all (politely) to eff off.
I think it would be more accurate to say they were looted. No honour amongst thieves.

New post: Poll #1: When will the IDF ground invasion of Gaza begin?
When no one expects it. Along with a sea landing. Along with carbon monoxide being pumped into those tunnels. Along with lots of other stuff that the Rag Heads will never expect.
No one expects –
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKQ_sQKBASM
An idea of what those that visit this site think on the question asked.
If Kushner via the Saudis managed to get hostages freed, the Biden administration would pursue him for breaching the Logan Act.
I thought perhaps Israel was looking at a 1km zone inside the entire gaza border, as for northern gaza, assuming they won’t object to a rebuild once hamas infrastructure is annihilated.
Quite so, Bern.
But because Elbow is not a leader’s bottom, he is terrified that publicly supporting Israel will trigger an internal insurrection against his weak leadership by the dominant communist left wing of the federal ALP parliamentary party, hastening the demise of his already doomed tenure.
Because Elbow is a) a Trotskyist idealogue; b) not very bright, he is just a follower of the rabid left, not its leader.
Elbow is so dumb he thought he’d win the apartheid referendum in a canter.
But Elbow isn’t Gough or Hawkie, despite his fevered dreams. He’s just a line-and-length communist subversive like R.F.X. Connor, destined to be a virtual nobody in ALP history.
learn to love your typo
Dover, maybe a bit more intel on the hostages. Proof of life would be useful to Hamas.
If they don’t provide it, the obvious has happened. Then it’s on.
That’s the beauty of the place, you worthless POS. You don’t have to believe a word I say as the rest can make their own judgement.
But here’s the thing: most of the time you have copped a barrage of downticks, you’ve been squealing like the pig you’ve always been here, and you’ve accused me and others of posting massive downticks against your mostly useless and trolling comments. You’re hypocritical piece of sludge.
And, I did stop you and the rest of the motley pack to jackels from continuing to beat up on her everyday for two years? I did 🙂

Also, while you’re there, name one single time you haven’t intro’ed yourself on the blog without some sort of lowbrow trolling comment.

From early this morning, all you’ve done here is whine and troll with nothing to add to any discussion.
Just to repeat, the only thing you’ve done all day is whine and troll. Post something useful, like how great are preserved lemons, you moron.
Vicki…what Speccie piece is the Jew hatred under. I will send a complaint
We don’t know what private parties are doing with regards to paying for hostages.
Keep in mind, Glenn Beck funded planes & private security contractors to get people out of Afghanistan (as did other parties) who knows what’s going on in Gaza now.
Just because we are reading or seeing anything doesn’t mean a lot isn’t going on.
FFS, the Glenn Beck Afghan stories show what a mess the withdrawal was.

Sleazy hates Israel. I don’t want him turning up. Besides, he’s embarrassing, imagine the photo op of him picturef with REAL men such as Bibi, Naftali Bennett, Lapid and others. A peewee from Marrickville standing next to lions.

Is it possible to move tickets/issues from one Kanban board to another board ?
No. Not because the code doesn’t support it, but because the concept is nonsense.

Courage? Get the f out of here you depressed loser. From 8 this morning to 6 this evening, it’s been whining and trolling.
No vendetta at all, but just responding to your constant trolling efforts against me. And I will respond most times, which is why you’re now walking around like a limbless victim. Piss off, you waste of oxygen.
Regarding the hostages, if the donor nations and organizations of the world really gave a damn they would have come together and made an ultimatum:
ALL hostages released by sunset or Gaza and Palestine have seen their last penny of aid money. Ever.
Come to think of it, the US could have done that on their own if they didn’t have a moldering vegetable in the Oval Office. That vegetable by the way is sitting on the beach at his house in Delaware having yet another holiday at the moment, while the world could be on the brink.
It’s Australia’s most watchable TV news show — the only one dedicated to breaking stories, i.e. telling us stuff we don’t know.

I think it was during one of the Israel/Hezbollah stoushes on the Lebanon border that we had to rescue many, many “Australians” “trapped” in Lebanon. Afterwards, they complained that they did not accrue Frequent Flyer Points on the QANTAS “rescue” flights.

Or, by scrolling through the interview rather than watching in full, did I miss something?
You can find her foul comments on any article that mentions Israel or Jews.
Carlson has definitely been leaning into the ‘not our problem’ role lately.
1000% agreement on Atlassian and their inability to design or even just maintain usable software.

A startup could off a SAAS version of “classic” Jira with $5/month pricing and a solid promise NEVER to add any new features.

As a woman, I don’t like this kind of behaviour – it is demeaning, disrespectful and childish. The reality it is what a lot of men do, whatever we think and prefer. And, it’s never going to change.

Been watching some 1950s Brit fillums recently, and every scene in a working class environment has pinups (calendars and pix) in the workplace. To me, it seemed more like a mutual admiration society than anything else.

‘Moderates’ – right.
Places like Harvard, at the top of the US academic, financial and social tree, regard this as propaganda, except for those who actively support it.
There is an excellent recent Breitbart radio show with an academic who managed to survive the Leftist takeover. He perfectly describes what happened at the ANU, and no doubt many other Australian universities. The generational changeover, and subsequent hiring if the like-minded.
When I was a student there in the early 1970s, a Marxist Philosophy tutor conducted classes outside, under the trees, and was wildly popular. What’s more, his class had a 100% pass rate, a foreboding of what was to come.
From a small but perfectly formed academy of excellence, set in magnificent grounds, it is now a crass degree factory funded by overseas students. The parklands have been desecrated with ugly buildings, academic standards are pitched to making sure that the parents are not disappointed, and we now have cases in the ACT courts of blokes with foreign names allegedly committing rape and murder on campus.
I suppose if you went to UNSW, it wouldn’t twang a chord.

That’s all garbage. Ramaswamy was born in Cincinnatti, Ohio and the caselaw has never supported this lunatic idea that both parents must be American citizens if a candidate was born in America. He was a natural-born citizen by virtue of being born on US soil and later his parents naturalised themselves anyway. Children don’t “inherit” dual nationality; his mother was naturalised. India does not allow dual citizenship. Their constitution forbids it. He cannot hold a right that is not conferred at all (nemo dat?).
There’s even an argument that Amendment V due to Amendment XIV repeals the natural born citizen requirement.
About five seconds in wiki.
In 1875, Chief Justice Waite, in the voting-rights case Minor v. Happersett, stated:
“The Constitution does not, in words, say who shall be natural-born citizens. Resort must be had elsewhere to ascertain that. At common-law, with the nomenclature of which the framers of the Constitution were familiar, it was never doubted that all children born in a country of parents who were its citizens became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives, or natural-born citizens, as distinguished from aliens or foreigners. Some authorities go further and include as citizens children born within the jurisdiction without reference to the citizenship of their parents. As to this class there have been doubts, but never as to the first.”
Minor v. Happersett, 88 U.S. (21 Wall.) 162 (1875)
The U.S. Supreme Court decision in United States v. Wong Kim Ark (1898), citing Lynch as a leading precedent, held a child born in the United States of two Chinese parents became “at the time of his birth a citizen of the United States”
U.S. v. Wong Kim Ark (1898) 169 U.S. 649, 42 L.Ed. 890, 18 S.Ct. 456
In a 1999 Circuit Court decision, the U.S.-born children of two non-citizen parents were spoken of as “natural born citizens”.
Mustata v. US Dept. of Justice (6th Cir. 1999) 179 F.3d 1017, 1019.
Similarly, Eugene Volokh, Professor of Law at UCLA, found “quite persuasive” the reasoning employed by the Indiana Court of Appeals, which had concluded “that persons born within the borders of the United States are ‘natural born Citizens’ for Article II, Section 1 purposes, regardless of the citizenship of their parents”.

Dean also presented in detail what the hamas dogs have done and further intend doing. Some big bangs are in order. If you’re going to go take as many of the bastards as you can with you.

Thomas Mayo says Peter Dutton has a lot to answer for in regard to the failure of the Voice referendum.
The self-styled Communist-inspired radical who is on record as wanting to tear down our institutions down.
The booby who introduced reparations into the debate. Now that really let the cat out of the bag.
The bloke who, with the ABC’s “Red” Kerry O’Brien (currently keeping a low profile), literally wrote the book that described what the Voice would mean for our democracy – that is, nothing good.
This bloke thinks Peter Dutton has a lot to answer for.
Let’s hope Labor offers him pre-selection in a hitherto safe seat in return for his loyalty to the cause.
Comrades.

Dunno. Taken individually they don’t have anything really great and the “integration” of the products seems to be making the whole thing just that much harder to use. If I look at Gitlab vs BitBucket then Gitlab is about 5 years ahead and getting better. If I look at Jira as described above it’s becoming almost impossible to use without training & consultancy.
I guess the investment cost and unlearning required will make it a tool suite for big companies but everybody else will avoid like the plague because its a time & productivity sinkhole … Kinda like IBM products back in the day.

How common is this engine configuration in heavy industry?
Detroit Diesel V12 Supercharged 2-stroke diesel, 852 ci !!!
I get that idea for a front end loader building up hydraulic pressure with the faster engine RPM as the torque will be high from the capacity anyway, but it’s heavy duty so you need to assume heavy loads on the engine. I know with some you can stall them if you try to steer and move them back or forward at the same time if you don’t push the revs up, let alone scoop up a load from a pile.
PS did he mean turbocharged?

Apropos of wet t-shirt comps: Few a few months there were 2 girls working for me who’d been supporting themselves by entering & winning wet t-shirt comps along the east coast.
They’d enter (& win) take the cash, or if in kind exchange it with a drinker for cash, then consult their calendar of wet t-shirt comps, choose the next one, ride their thumbs to it, enter & win, then ride the thumb to the next one, etc.
Then came a “drought” with no wet t-shirt comps, so they answered a job advert, rode the thumb to my place, & stayed for a few months.
They knew exactly how to play the game. They’d carefully calculate what to wear & how many buttons to undo.
The young bucks of town tried everything they knew to impress the girls:
eg, drinking lots & lots of rum, driving in with their best pig dogs in the back of the Toyota, inviting the girls to come shooting, offering them rides in a road train, etc. .. & many other things girls really love.
Wouldn’ta mattered, the girls were “together” 😉

Doctors, poets, families, babies: victims of Israel’s war on Gaza
They forgot Gaza’s war on Israel
The Guardian Kings of Disinformation.
They forgot the Arab wars on Israel since 1947. Strange about that when most of those dopey Reporters were not even born then. R soles. And NFI (No Farking Idea)
I’ve read Bacon Busters a few times and no offence to other readers, the ladies in that publication often would not get “Director of First Impressions” positions.
I never thought I would agree with Jacqui Lambie.
JC, you were musing whether you’d missed a travelogue from me.
Not if it’s about Pattaya in Thailand, for here it is now:
It costs about AUD100 (1500 baht) for a taxi from the international airport in Bangkok to the coastal resort town of Pattaya, where Hairy had pre-booked us accommodation, thinking it would be a pleasant resort-style ending to our five week trip. We found that price out after our taxi driver, who giggled all the time, had charged us 2,300 baht for the trip. Never mind. The return journey is booked for tomorrow at the hotel price of 1,500.
I was thinking all the way there why are we doing this, for the motorway went through flat dull built-up areas of housing and industry most of the way, and when we struck Pattaya it looked ultra-seedy and like a cheap Gold Coast. As we wended some back streets all I could see on the coastal front were some high-rise genuine monstrosities in bare concrete; could have saved the trip straight off the plane and stayed in an airport hotel, I thought but dare not say, for staying in Pattaya was Hairy’s brainwave. He likes to see new places. Then further along arose some modern glass high rise and I thought we were probably headed for those. Thus it was a surprise to suddenly reach a boom gate where a uniformed attendant gave a salute, ushering us into a topiary garden drive leading to a big and impressive five-star portico and entry with a lot of old-style restrained and well-preserved palatio-glamour, boasting marble floors and impressive public sitting areas. One of the first five star hotels in this resort area, from the 80’s I think, and in a superb position overlooking the swoop of the bay, also looking out to seaward islands beyond it. Our room is large and comfortable. One might say it has seen better days, par for the course for older five stars now hosting four-star tours, but we have a sitting out balcony which, like the interior of the room, also encompasses this view; something marvellous which no newer hotel has.
Pattaya itself has something of a reputation for sleaze, and I wouldn’t enjoy a holiday here unless in a pleasant hotel such as this, where the street life does not impinge. Even so, I managed to see some innocent joy. Three young kids were sitting excitedly with their parents in the back of a Toyota ute, getting a ride that was obviously a treat for them, and having such fun waving to anyone who would wave back, which I did. We used to do that when I was little, I tell Hairy. All three of us in the back, no seats, no belts, hanging on and having fun while squabbling about who sits where.
I am having a cup of tea I made in our hotel room right now after lunching well by the pool where we’ll swim later this arvo. The milk I used is all Hairy could buy at the 7-Eleven here. Avoid camel’s milk, I instructed him. He came back with something called VitaMilk which is sold in a little screw top bottle. This milk is grey, slightly sweet and rather woody in smell. I think it’s soy. I hope so. He told me he had to run the gauntlet of varous adult sexual enticements offered on the short walk to the 7-Eleven store. Nothing underage, thank goodness, for this place apparently once had a bad reputation for that which has apparently been addressed. Again, I hope so.
Lots of families with kids holiday here now.
ewwffffft. This stuff tastes foul in tea!

The Cri had one of the best views going to enjoy with a soothing schooner or many.
Place had a great set up. Trouble started when the Gleeson Family was allowed to build apartments across the road from the Cri by another questionable council decision who promptly when tenanted started complaining about the noise of live bands. All down hill from there.
No secret Gleeson’s also had their eye on that block after the Cri closed in 2015 promptly moved in with a development application with Geon group somehow involved I believe. Problem was the Cri was heritage listed and their Hive Development planned to demolish the whole of the building. Big uproar ensued in an election year and Council said no. The developers walked away from it for a spell but seems they are at it again.
Locals here just want both pubs facades in that block preserved as they can do wonders these days incorporating the original design into a new building. Also at the end of the day question why we need more office/residential space in a city that is already very much oversupplied.
As for the See View. Other developers tried the same noise complaints path too about the same time but that one failed. The Strand has building height caps that even the council dares mess with a electoral peril. Some big money also on the lower Castle Hill slopes that don’t want their views of Magnetic is blocked by high rises.
Like anywhere I suppose the giant balancing act of keeping developers engaged but preserving historic buildings which hasn’t been done well. I just don’t think it has been handled well.

TICKET ELEVATION
MR DOVER
PLEASE CONSIDER JEAN MICHEL GROBON FOR THE NEXT OT CENTREPIECE.
“ROMAN AQUEDUCTS SEEN ON THE SLOPES OF ST JUST”
THIS TICKET HAS BEEN ELEVATED AND NOTED AS A HIGH PRIORITY.
Such value. Much blogging.
I don’t know but I also think it may not be wise to go with “Oi! Do you know who you’re dealin’ wif? I’m a part-time bovver boy!”.
Just my simple thoughts on the problem Israel has with gaza. In 2000 there were 1 million Arabs in Gaza
Niw there are 2 million with 50% being under 18. There is a population bomb being built. Note that other Arab nations refuse to take them just as they refused in 1948.
My suggestion would be for Israel to reinforce its borders and put pressure on Egypt. I’m sure the stat’s are the same for judea/Samaria. But then a lot of Arabs went to Jordan in 48 and 67.
A diabolical problem. But let me say this. The west would be absolutely stupid to take ANY.
Made me laugh, Salvadore. Well drawn images and a great punch line.
“So many cats. So many bags.
Where to start?”
I think the icing on the cake, the coup de grace so to speak for the YES campaign was the pronouncement, just two and a bit weeks before referendum day, by a washed up, aged, sanctimonious, former journalist and all round twat by the name of Ray Martin (who claims to be indigenous), that Australians who plan to vote NO were “dickheads and dinosaurs”.
Whilst I think that Fair Australia, Senator Jacinta Price, Warren Mundine, Peta Credlin, Andrew Bolt, the IPA, the CIS and so on did a a jolly good job with their NO campaign (and remember, on limited resources), they really should count their lucky stars because everyday they got help from the YESSERS, from misery guts Langton, from Marxist Mayo, from fatso Megan Davis, from smirking Sleazy, and all the rest of the far-left radicals who thought that they’d use this referendum as a sneaky coup d’etat to impose permanent progressive governance on this country.
It failed so spectacularly, so beautifully and so sweetly.
Absolutely. Adding fuel to the fire that’s already here.
Jordan is 70% Palestinian. Rename it Palestine and be done with it.
Yep. This is the reasoned counter-argument:
An NPC. Adds nothing except occasional hilarity, due to very obvious chicanery.
It’s a caricature. ‘Orright’, guvna’, wiv’ and ‘innit’ with a fake Cockney dialect even though it professes to be from the north of England. And which he conceded when I picked him up on it months ago.
It’s too fakey, because it’s fake. Claimed to have been invited to this wide brown land in 1976. Yeah righto. It’s no wonder there’s no credibility behind it.
He’s got more stories than Forrest Gump, and all are just as fictional. Exhibit A – ‘when I was a part time bovver boy’. Fake.
On top of that he’s been trying to generate interest in a globally-discredited billion dollar ponzi scheme that another fraud set up overseas, and which earned him 11 years in a US Federal prison.

Much more detail than was originally available about the US ship shooting down missiles from Yemen.

Sounds like excellent shooting.
From memory, Dutton was the first public figure to lean towards No, thus giving lots of No proponents the courage to speak out. What began as a small ripple of resentment against the 65% Yes polling results became a tsunami of No thinking, publicity, and debating points – thanks to Dutton.
