Politicians hiring coke addicts and drunks who get a kick out of running around Parliament late at night, hiring people who lie to the police and in court, making taxpayer funded huge confidential payouts on spurious grounds of a failure of a duty of care by an employer who is somehow responsible for the drunken coke fueled escapades in the deep of night. And Schmidt wonder why people are losing faith in government.
Interesting that the details about Sharaz sending that document to all and sundry describing Brucie as “the perpetrator” hasn’t yet appeared in Sam Maiden’s account of today’s proceedings. Maybe she nipped out to the pub when that was being detailed.

If the UN vote in 1947 didn’t decide where to dump Jews from Europe, the US and Europe would have had to give them a home or permitted them to return. Voting for a patch of useless dirt that where Jews could be finally slaughtered by the Arab forces organised by Britain seemed like the perfect solution. It’s not well known that application for UN membership was refused a few times while the UN hoped it would never need to be admitted among real nations. Anti-Israelism has been central to the core of the UN since day one.

What do people think of the Nakba? How many Arabs were displaced?
The Brittany and Bruce fiasco just shows the sort of lying, immoral, party-climbing, useless losers that infest the Libs and no doubt the ALP these days.

Saudi Arabia Says ‘Absolutely Not’ to Fossil Fuel Phase Down Demand by Climate Crazies (5 Dec)
He probably likes climate conferences though, given how much jet fuel he gets to sell whenever one comes along.
The Nakba?
What do the numbers matter?
Many left voluntarily expecting the Arabs to win, and also assuming they would be slaughtered the way they slaughtered Jews, others were expelled, because they posed a threat to the Israeli war effort.
They were hostile to Jews, had conducted pogroms against them for years.
There was a war, they lost.
Many muslims however stayed in what is now Israel and still live there, mostly peacefully, as Israeli citizens.
The only ethnic cleansing that was done, was done by muslims, again.
here’s Washington post quoting Francesca Albenese. Nuff said.
As Guterres would say the Nakba didn’t happen in a vacuum.
What do people think of the Nakba?
What do people think of the partition of India & Pakistan?
Or the Turkey/Greece switcheroo.
Why the mystical name “Nakba” given to a not uncommon situation during 20th century.
How many Arabs were displaced?
They participated in starting multiple wars.
They lost all of them.
And the numbers?
A fraction of the number of other displacements but because they’re “Pali’s” they are treated like like super special or something?
It’s pure anti-Semitism.
Cassie from the Old Thread
I find it amazing that just because one feels wretched, depressed and sad those feelings would automatically translate into defeatism, cowering and adopting the foetal position. Those that think in that way do not know the Jewish people at all, they are God’s chosen people and that is why through millennia their spirit, resilience, intelligence and striving is testament to their celebration of God’s choice.
In fact it is out of those feelings of wretchedness, depression and sadness that springs hope, rejuvenation and the spirit to continue to fight for a just and good cause. Go Israel and a pox on Jew-haters everywhere, a pox has certainly diseased their souls.
Others might be thinking the IDF has been looking for, and destroying terror tunnels.
Satellite images show that orchards, greenhouses and farmland in northern Gaza have been razed, the Human Rights Watch said today.
Since the start of Israel’s “ground invasion,” there have also been concerns regarding a lack of food and the impact this will have on people’s livelihoods.
Gaza is suffering a loss of at least $1.6 million daily in farm production, according to the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics. Amnesty International has stated in a report that knowingly committing disproportionate attacks qualifies as a war crime.
Oh. They even hold baby Jesus hostage on the West Bank.
I don’t give a sh*t about your plaster figure, you virtue signalling Christian numpties. If you had any decency, you would replace it with a picture of little Kfir.
If you can’t sense divine anger at this travesty, I certainly can.
In 2006 Hamas won the election.
If was living there then, I would have made plans to leave.
If you’ve been happy enough to live there for the past 17 years, I’m not why you deserve much sympathy.
Keep in mind, 50,000 Victorian families made the choice to leave between 2020 & 2022.
Instead of leaving the Hamas state, the population growth in Gaza has been enormous.
Looks like they mostly like the state of affairs.
Oh. That’s nice. Amnesty International has discovered a “war crime” in Gaza.
At least the Israelis had the decency to declare war before they started.
Has the International Red Cross checked up on the welfare of the hostages yet? Perhaps Amnesty International might like to help them.
The Greeks consider the ‘people swap’ a genocide with estimates of up to one million Greeks massacred.
The fall of the Ottoman Empire also saw the Armenian genocide 600,000 to 1.2 million killed and the Assyrian genocide, 250,000 killed.
An estimated 6000 Israelis and 8000 to 15,000 Arabs died in the 47-49 war yet the only refugees in perpetuity are the Palestinians (which was never a nationality).
The grudges and the grievances is getting too much.
What do the Japanese think of Nagasaki or the Germans think of Dresden? How about the British and the London bombings? A decade after WW2 grievances were set aside and people moved on with their lives. Historical grievances are held by people with mental issues. Unfortunately, the 21st is historical grievance central.
Correct. That is also true on a personal level, as well as nations. You don’t forget, but you move on to bigger and better things. If you don’t, you’re no better than Gollum obsessing over the Precious.
JC, re your Venezuelan post.
You know my long held views about the US looking to liberate their off shore energy assets.
Perhaps the Greeks should have spent the last 100 years committing acts of terror is support of their ‘right of return’.
LOL. Yes, because all wars are fought using an algo proportioning out attacks. These meatballs have even taken the leftwing principle of equality to assessing wars. FMD.
Historical grievances are held by people with mental issues.
Correct. That is also true on a personal level,
A grudge can motivate for a very, very short period of time.
Then becomes such an impediment.

More footage on twitter of Mr fafo running around Khan Yunis, sometimes with other young men, getting video for social media, the Israelis having handily told them which buildings they are going to bomb next.
Apparently black smoke is an indication that the location is a weapons dump.
And while hamas took advantage of the no drones allowed periods during the ceasefire to move stuff around IDF could still work out various things using before and after footage.
So they kinda know where the rocket launch sites are.
And most likely satellite imagery from Uncle Sam. Nighttime offers no respite either.
photos of hamasisis inside one of the more comfortable tunnels in the hazardous strip. No shortage of food for them.
Seems like the IDF are moving more quickly than expected.
IDF Spokesman: today was the most powerful offensive yet carried out by Israel in the Gaza War to date. And it came at a heavy price. The final battle to eliminate the last two Hamas redoubts in northern Gaza. Most of Hamas military command has been eradicated. IDF is completing the encirclement of Khan Younis in the south where most of the Terrorist leadership is thought to be hiding.
That explains that.
Mossab Hassan Yousef is the son of of one the founders of Hamas, and a critic of the terror group his father built.
His X account was deleted for security reasons, according to people close to him…

NSW Government delays conversion practices bill, but don’t rest yet
By Monica Doumit – December 1, 2023
Excerpts:
At the end of last week, the NSW Government announced that it would not table its bill seeking to ban so-called conversion practices before the end of the year. Instead, the government will wait and continue its consultation, with the aim of introducing a bill early in 2024. The pause is welcome, because the proposals put forward to date are anti-faith, anti-freedom and child endangering.
Proposals have also been put forward that say that consent is irrelevant when it comes to conversion or suppression practices. What this means is that even if a person voluntarily asks for help or advice from a priest or a psychologist or a friend, the priest or psychologist or friend can still be in legal trouble if they provide that help or advice.
Treating consent as irrelevant is tantamount the state saying: “If you want to live in accordance with your sexual identity, you can ask anyone for help, and we will punish anyone who refuses to support you. If you want to live in accordance with your religious identity, you cannot ask anyone for help, and we will punish anyone who tries to support you.”
We all knew the NDIS was a bad idea from the get go. It was intended to do two things, firstly to make the RGR government look good, and secondly to wedge Abbott, who felt he had to give it the soft treatment along with promising not to reduce the funding for the “enemy talking to our friends” ABC.
It could have been a branch of the Centrelink juggernaut. It should have always had more critical examination of needs, a cost/benefit analysis based on reality rather than the magic money tree.
Nick Cave
Brilliant short essay on anti-PC/wokeness.
Jo Nova:
“In the last couple of weeks a New Zealand whistleblower came forward with detailed, but anonymized data showing that certain batches of the experimental you-know-what, were associated with shockingly high mortality rates. As this news started to spread, the government could have responded to correct or explain this, instead they arrested him, thus accidentally verifying that the data he showed was not wrong, but real. His crime apparently was not faking-up the data, but “accessing a computer system for dishonest purposes” which seems like a very strange crime given that, as he describes it, he was paid to work with the data, and the results of public health data is — in a free society — supposed to be public.”
It doesn’t “invoke societal breakdown”. Granting it the prize is societal breakdown itself.

What’s the odd man out here, pun intended?
Somewhere along the way the ‘insurance’ component got lost and we ended up with a national disability scheme.
Roger, what really gives me “the dirts” is that Bill Shorten gave a talk at the Sydney Institute years ago in which he outlined an “insurance” scheme for the disabled. He brought along a charming couple who described their plight, having been unable to have a holiday in years as a result of the special needs of their disabled son.
Of course, we were all in total sympathy with the couple & most of us thought that this “insurance” scheme may be a scaled down Medicare or something similar. It seemed like “a good idea at the time”!
Recently, Shorten appeared before the Sydney Institute to answer for what has eventuated with the NDIS. I had all my fury harnessed & prepared, & found, damn it, that the function had been transferred to the 61st (or thereabouts) floor of the Chifley Sq building. I hate the damn lifts into building & missed the opportunity to give Shorten hell. DAMN!

Hezbollah in a different uniform.
Earlier today, IDF soldiers operated in self defense to eliminate an imminent threat that had been identified from Lebanon. The threat was identified within a known launch area and observation point of ??the Hezbollah terrorist organization, near al-Awadi. Hezbollah’s activities in Lebanon are in clear violation of United Nations Security Council Resolution 1701.
The IDF was notified that soldiers from the Lebanese Armed Forces were harmed during the strike. The Lebanese Armed Forces were not the target of the strike.

Julie Hare Education editor
In a twist of fate, Australia’s performance on an important international assessment of reading, science and maths has lifted – not because our 15-year-olds improved but because so many other countries crashed out of contention.
The much anticipated results of the 2022 Program for International Student Assessment have landed but posed many more questions than there are answers.
Why, for one, did Australian kids seem to get through pandemic lockdowns and months of home-schooling relatively unscathed while kids in other countries like Finland, Canada, Denmark and Hong Kong went backwards?
Also, why did Australia’s results stabilise between 2018 and 2022 after declining at every previous iteration since the inaugural PISA in 2000?

While the results are welcome news, it isn’t time to pop the champagne. The truth is, the gap between rich and poor in academic performance is vast and growing. Too few kids from the poorest families perform in the highest bands. Kids in government schools underperform those in Catholic and independent schools while girls continue to outperform boys.
It is simply shocking that half of all teenagers perform below expected levels in maths. In scientific literacy, the figure is 42 per cent and 43 per cent in reading.
What this means is that half of all young Australians on the cusp of adulthood are functionally illiterate.
They struggle with day-to-day tasks because they can’t properly comprehend what they read, or know how to apply mathematical knowledge or understand basic scientific concepts.
This is after 10 years in the education system.
We know that once kids start falling behind, they very rarely catch up. In fact, they continue to fall even further behind and so the vicious cycle goes on.
Despite the good intentions of the Gillard and Turnbull governments’ Gonski reforms that were supposed to direct additional funding to those schools with the largest proportion of disadvantaged students, there has been very little return to date on the $319 billion investment.
The fact is, funding matters. But after a certain point, the impact recedes.
The things that make the most difference are: curriculum, evidence-based teaching practice, teachers who understand the science of learning, teachers who aren’t burdened with futile tasks, schools where poor behaviour is minimised and expectations are high.
Education minister Jason Clare is negotiating a funding agreement with the states and territories that could embed all of these things and more. Hopefully, this time the best interests of all students is front of mind when the relevant ministers sign on the dotted line.
After all, it is simply not acceptable that only rich kids prosper from their education.

Not for one moment an I unsympathetic to the plight of children in Gaza, but the blame lies at the feet of their fathers, the sooner Hamasisis is destroyed the better.
Israel turns Gaza’s water back on.
about time the West yanked UN funding and the US kicked them out of New York. They could build a new headquarters in Gaza, great opportunity coming up.
As she admits, she still has a way to go.
I hope she’s attending a decent church.
Israel’s history is rooted in Jerusalem and Judea and all over what is now Israel, there is no doubting it, nor is there doubt about the pull of this homeland when Islamic nations expelled Jews from elsewhere in the Middle East. Go to Israel, as we two ‘gentiles’ did, and explore this for yourself. Read about it in Simon Montefiore’s great history of Jerusalem and the struggle for Israel’s indigenous lands. Thank you JC for your recognition of this and for standing up for Cassie late last night against commentary that simply doesn’t have a clue about Jewishness, where I’ve added my support also on the tail end of that thread.
Cassie should feel free to come here and express her fears, and those of other Jewish people, as well as to show her strengths added to theirs. I’ve been watching video of the IDF in action and I offer all honour to those brave soldiering men .. and women. The women who made history in sole charge of tank force during full combat operations on Oct 7th did their duty as well as any male team. Respect.
It did them good to be away from the influence of their teachers and disrupted classrooms?
Better clarify given the “gotcha” penchants of some.
The “reptilian brain” is a reference to various conspiracy crap, but:
Difficulties are things that show a person what they are.

Should read “isn’t a reference”
Word is now that they are thinking of turning the water (pumped from the Med) into the tunnels to make life uncomfortable down there for Hamas’ terrorist operatives. The tunnels are at all different depths below ground level so if the aim is the keep tunnel water at knee level as some think is the aim it is going to be difficult without completely flooding the lower levels where Hamas leaders lurk.
Sounds like a plan.

Nigel Farage – Running to Save Britain
I have NEVER endorsed anyone for political office. Nigel is fighting for freedom. They even debanked him. He is not one of those do-nothing guys. We need people like Nigel who are willing to take the high road in the dark days ahead. Nigel at least had his eyes open, and his ears were always willing to listen.
What is important to Americans is that Britain is really just a vassal state of Washington. They do whatever the American Neocons tell them. We need Britain to resist this nonsense to reduce the volatility and amplitude of what unfolds between now and 2032.

When someone obviously hasn’t clicked your link 🙂
The OECD’s analysis explains one of the reasons for Australia’s underperformance is the high rate of disruption and lack of classroom discipline. Some 25 per cent of students said they could not work well in class, 33 per cent did not listen to the teacher and 40 per cent admitted they were distracted when using digital devices.
Why mobiles have been allowed for so long before the recent backlash is beyond me. I wouldn’t stand for any distractions – even teaching adults. I when I mean distraction – I mean for ME. I would not stand for students turning up late for class & distracting my train of thought – so I would lock the door 10 minutes after class began. As there were 2X 45 minute segments – they had to wait 45 minutes. As a result – almost no-one ever turned up late!
But from what I hear, in all areas of education – from infants to university – actual standards of coherent content, as well as delivery of instruction, has declined beyond what many of us would recognise. It had been disguised under the dubious standard of “progress”. But since it has largely been at the behest of Marxists, it is anything but.

Not an option available in university lecturing, Vicki, although it would be interesting to try it. We had to rely on techniques for managing an audience and not ceding control to any rowdiness. Good preparation and focus on clear delivery are what got me through, plus a bit of humour. If most are interested and want to learn then peer pressure also assists. I think this would be harder in the schoolroom though, where the seating around tables with interesting distractions to hand (like mobile phones, shudder) would make the job of teaching so much harder.
Bring back the ‘lecture’ situation to schoolrooms too. Control is built in to the lectern up front, where attention is directed.

Today, I announced a new visa restrictions policy targeting individuals and their family members involved in or meaningfully contributing to actions that undermine peace, security, and stability in the West Bank. Violence against civilians will have consequences.

A couple of thoughts.
First, is this a – gasp – Muslim ban?
Second, the US is limiting the granting of visas, where Australia is embracing it. Something not quite right.
The way I read the MSM, that alleged “kiss” seems to be critical as to whether Bruce is guilty or not. They’ve been harping on it for days now.
Labor “Ministers of the Crown” squirming a bit at their presser.
Anybody who has seen different socio-economic groups parent their children will be in no doubt why education results vary so widely. It isn’t the ski holidays and Europe in the summer. No amount of Che Guava mumbo jumbo from the State School Teachers Union will change that.
Hmmm where’s autocorrect when you really need it?
No. You just turn up the speakers to deafening levels until everyone shuts up. People can be late, you don’t know how insane the other instructors are or if they have a legitimate reason like a motor vehicle accident. Quite frankly getting them to do anything but sit there like dummies was the real challenge. Interactive learnin’ and actually doing the readings? Good luck!
PS if you locked them in these days, that’s a risk for a spicy anssault accusation.
Content is QA reviewed and there is no hiding from bad teaching. A friend of mine writes a lot of subject outlines etc. She said that assessment feedback is now being demanded to be short videos! Seems like a like a lot of work for nothing. I imagine piss poor Marxist teaching would only go on where it was put on by leadership.
And not forgetting, “How can we help, Prime Minister?”
Re problems with OT, strange if people are having problems from 3 pages long, my experience is a slow down sometime on the fifth or sixth page. As for slow down when following a link, here’s an alternative, right click and open in new tab, then close when your done, and then your back to the OT. Doing this will also lower the number of requests the site has to answer.
Where do you start?
Strictly speaking is not appropriate to university level topics. You’re going to give a lecture on genetic engineering and not allowing any questions because the tutorial/lecture system that emerged in the medieval period?
The market has moved to blended delivery, one upside to the multitude of downsides to COVIDmania.

Received your book today, definitely a decent read. Lot’s of good photos.
I’ve already read the bit in chapter 1 about the quarry.
Did you look under the sun visor for the keys? That used to be a favourite place both Jack and Dad ‘hid’ them. ?
