Deceptive how much brownfield land is around for development once planning restrictions are “relaxed”. I think they are looking for 30 storey residential on both the old Subiaco footy oval and Princess Margaret childrens hospital sites in Perth which is a step up in scale for here and would test the limits of what could be done locally I would think. The WACA periodically comes up with new master plans which seem to go nowhere.

A bit of a quandary I guess because I am down to my last box of books and I received some responses generated by that ad today so I reckon a second print run is in the offing…

The net effect of porn in terms of sexual assault must be marginal to thoroughly negative if you look at Japan. It’s odd because the MENA also has a higher porn consumption per capita than you may expect.

I suspect the family centered formative years are quite different between Japan and the MENA.

Wray admits that the FBI now regards Catholics as terrorists but he hasn’t sacked anyone. I saw someone on Twitter say that he’s sick of Republican interrogators sticking it to the FBI but they never do anything to de-fund and abolish Hoover’s terrorist gestapo. It’s all for show; all red meat for the base.

This is the same AFP that decided the ACL van-bomb attack by a gay rights terrorist was just a garden variety suicide attempt.

This was a deliberate lie. AFP top brass knew his agenda within a few hours of the blast. He told them from his hospital bed in no uncertain terms.

These ‘clerics’ have been cleared because the security state fears deportations and raids will only ‘stir up trouble.’ Throughout the West, the lesson is unmistakable: violence works.

Let’s see if Juan, a simple man who enjoys a modest existence, can understand.

It’s the other way around.
It’s all us simple folks unable to understand a thought leader with incredible analysis skills.

The “libertarian” who mistrusts government sooooo much that he is on a never ending series of “booster” shots for a pandemic which for healthy people never really was, believes we should pander to the green frauds.

What’s with the quotes around the word “Libertarian”, Juan? It’s my decision what medication I take. Not yours, not Struth’s or no one else. We’ve been through this argument before with the stupid Struth, so it’s no surprise you got on that bandwagon because like that idiot you always take the wrong fork in the road. Lastly, you’re unemployed and therefore had the luxury of not having to follow the mandates. Others were forced to or lose their jobs and businesses.

That’s not to say that I wouldn’t have taken the shots as I felt totally comfortable doing so. Even if I was not compelled to follow the mandate (and I was), I would’ve happily taken the shots and regret not doing so recently even if there was only a small chance of avoiding COVID.

It’s OK to abandon the fight for sensible energy policies keeping a complex, intricate network of mines, wells, generation and transportation infrastructure.
Instead, we should trust the two major parties in this country will license a new nuclear technology in time to save us all. Yay.
..

Go ahead, fight for non-retarded energy policy as much as you want. However, fighting for a decent energy policy doesn’t mean posting comments on a blog as the energy blog warrior and the always insightful mufti. Show us exactly what you’re going to do to reverse the policy instead of just posting retarded nonsense. Share with us, General Peron.

The lunatic fringe of screaming brats currently standing in front of traffic and vandalising art galleries across the Western world and who’s activism drives our mindless, scientifically illiterate political class’s decision making, will bow to the inevitable logic and reason that if they want to lower CO2, nuclear is the only option.

Nuclear is NOT the only option. No energy policy and letting it rip is the best option. However, with the constraints have wrapped around this sector, we need a mufti to direct us. Where do we go from here, Juan? Where do we go from here leaving aside the depressed whining we always get from you. Bullet points is fine.

You know, show us the courage.

Because they are so well known for their logic and reason and are genuinely driven by a true but misguided belief in climate change and not by a suicidal desire to wreck the world they were born into.
I smell a huge success in the making.

You smell success, do you? Interesting.
..

Something to rival the spectacular success of Nixon going to Beijing. You remember that. Back in those days China was a one party communist state that sponsored anti- Western insurgencies across the region and had ambitions to dominate the world and instal sympathetic Marxist regimes in every country.

Oh yeah, the country where the inhabitants were eating grass and using human shit accumulated in the towns and cities as manure. A mufti like you though had it all figured it out in 1971, that in 2023 we’d be here. If only we had the insight and you around to swing us in another direction.

Thank you Nixon for your wisdom in seeing that gifting Beijing our entire f*cking manufacturing base would result in a free and democratic China.
..

Nixon’s China gambit was to split China away from the Soviet Union. It had nothing to do with economics or re-industrializing China, you peronist doofus. If the Gang Of Four had won out, Chinese would be still eating grass and sprinkling human shit on the ground.

Let’s do the same thing with our energy infrastructure and expect similar results.

You go tell the EU and the US administration that you,Juan Arky Peron will not to take it anymore and refuse to allow Australia to take that pathway. Go on, open the window and start screaming that out in the neighborhood.

Then we can capitulate to the lunatics demands on agriculture as well. Those insane screams to “decarbonise” agriculture must have some clever libertarian dodge to help us capitulate with a degree of grace into the poverty and oblivion

Oh it’s a clever Libertarian dodge is it. Care to take your view to the good doctor, who’s hospitality you’ve enjoyed and used, and ask him. As a libertarian would he agree with your prognosis? Go ahead, and ask him.

J.C.s green mates demand of us.

You delusional bullshit artist. You peronist idiot. Go shout at the moon.

Incredible. A month or so ago, the US 10 year bond touched 5% yield. People like the CEO of JPMorgan were telling us that in view of the weight of massive new issuance, inflation stats, GDP growth, high employment levels etc, we would see the yield break through 5% and trend higher to 6% or even 7%. We’re now at 4.12%.

All life in earth is now currently dependent of the US 10 year bond yield.

Should Argentina Peg its Currency to the Dollar?

QUESTION: What about Argentina willing to peg pesos to USD? THANKS for all you are doing for us! ALL THE BEST TO YOU AND FAMILY

TD

ANSWER: First and foremost, what collapsed Bretton Woods and the gold standard was persistent deficit spending. They fixed the price of gold to $35 but then spent recklessly every year. you CANNOT have a fixed exchange rate, a pegged exchange rate, or any sort of a gold standard as long as you retain a Marxist/Socialist agenda where you spend more than you have.

In addition, any Pegging of a currency is significantly different than a Fixed Exchange Rate. Under a Fixed Exchange Rate, the main purpose is to facilitate trade. However, you are not expressly subordinating your economy to the economic trend of everyone else in the system. Each nation is still independent, and if their balance of payments falls out of line, then they alone have a monetary crisis.

Sir Thomas Gresham was the agent for the English Crown in Amsterdam, the Wall Street of Europe at that time. Henry VIII was debasing the currency, and nobody wanted to lend money to him, fearing that what they would be repaid with was debased. Hence, Gresham’s law.

A Pegged currency is far worse for the host currency’s economic conditions are imported. If Argentina pegs to the USD, then raising or lowering interest rates by the Fed and the boom-bust business cycle are automatically exported to Argentina. It would be better to peg to a basket of currencies that would be a hybrid system closer to a fixed currency regime for trade.

Napoleon had actually summoned the best minds and talents from all over Europe into his service. His court was deliberately filled with able men from all over Europe: Dutch, German, Italian, and even Polish. These foreigners worked in the highest offices of his imperial civil service – not exclusively French.

It was Napoleon who created the first single currency in Europe following the Roman Empire. He standardized the weight of the coins so that 40 francs equaled 40 Lire in Italy and 320 Reales in Spain. This was really Napoleon’s idea of resurrecting the Roman empire. Please take note of his coinage. He is pictured wearing a laurel wreath as a Roman emperor. He was far more than just a general. The new movie was interesting, but they overlooked his economic decisions, which were decades ahead of anyone else in Europe.

The unification of Europe was the accomplishment of Julius Caesar. However, it was Napoleon who standardized the monetary system post-Rome after the Dark Age, which became the inspiration for the Latin Monetary Union by 1865 and later the Gold Standard post World War II.

Even the United States’ $5 gold coinage was equivalent to the standardization of world coinage during the 19th century.”

The fraud doesn’t understand what Argentina is attempting. The Leavenworth scholar doesn’t understand that Argentina is not trying to peg the currency. Argentina is going to Dollarise, which means it would eliminate the peso out of circulation and the dollar would become the one recognised medium of exchange.

I also think that Milei would be wily enough to understand that the Argentine economy needs to be at least as deregulated as that of the US, which is why he’s proposing massive reforms.

Very likely. He has hit on the business model of turning stupid into cash, (H/T Tim Blair) which is reliable because of the vast supply of stupid. I don’t think all fraud should be illegal, it’s the only way of curing gullibility. Still, he’s not altogether stupid himself, and wherever he gets his material, some of it is interesting. Shallow, rather often, but not always.

The stuff about Socrates is obvious flim-flam. But if it brings in cash from the credulous, you can’t entirely blame him. The discovery that the world is full of fatheads can lead to intoxication.

…clerics’ calls for jihad and spitting on Israel so “Jews would drown” didn’t meet the criminality threshold.”

Oh I get it, Muslim clerics that use rhetoric calling for jihad against Jews and for “spitting on Israel so Jews can drown” is quite okay because such rhetoric fails to meet any criminal threshold but but but the same NSW Police are presently still conducting inquiries into independent MP Mark Latham because of Mark Latham’s very accurate tweet from earlier this year in reply to the utterly sinister, creepy and vile homosexual MP for the state seat of Sydney.

NSW Police and Anti-Discrimination NSW are conducting inquiries into Mr Latham after he published a largely graphic and offensive tweet directed towards Mr Greenwich on March 30.

Don’t you just love Australia in 2023?

By the way, the above just adds to me and other Jews’ wretchedness, depression, and sadness. And last night I watched footage of how a Jewish woman on that dreadful day in October fought off her Nazi Gazan attackers, the whole time kicking and fighting before they held her down and wrapped her in a sheet ready to rape and then butcher her. All filmed in prime time. And the left across the West regard such Nazi maggots as “heroes”, and happily turn a blind eye to such savagery.

Me too except if you’re Jew. And some wonder why I feel wretched, depressed and sad.

The Nazi maggots in the above footage were no different to serial killer Ivan Milat. You see, here’s the bottom line, Israel has to contend with a culture on its doorstep that extols, praises and lauds creatures like Ivan Milat.

Mossad sharks…

It’s a bird, it’s a shark, it’s a Mossad spy (2011)

While the Mossad conspiracies usually spread through the blogosphere and in the popular press, a spate of shark attacks in the waters off the Sinai coast resort of Sharm el-Sheikh prompted a government official to hint of an Israeli conspiracy. Mohamed Abdul Fadil Shousha, the governor of Egypt’s South Sinai province, said it was “not out of the question.”

“What is being said about the Mossad throwing the deadly shark in the sea to hit tourism in Egypt is not out of the question. But it needs time to confirm,” Shousha told a press conference.

No lasers though on Mossad’s sharks, although maybe with enough time to confirm it’ll be proved that Shit Bet’s sharks have them.

Leading Russian Polar Scientist: Cooling Begins In 2030…Climate Crisis A ‘Globalist Scam’ (6 Dec)

According to leading polar scientist Andrey Fedotov of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS), “the warming is about to end” and “The Earth is about to enter an ‘ice age.’”

The period of “unfavorable cold” will begin around 2030. Fedotov issued the warning in a statement published by the RAS, the country’s leading scientific institution.

Fedotov said the warming is about to end and the cause is not humans. The Russian scientist says the cooling will be brought on by solar activity.

I doubt it will be as fast as all that since if you look at the ice core data the cooling rate into a formal ice age is only about half a degree per century. But the AMO is due to flip soon, and when it does it tends to be fast. The ice age scare in the seventies coincided with the bottom of the AMO cycle. The AMO is sea surface temperature based, and the accompanying land temperature swings tend to be larger.

I doubt it will be as fast as all that since if you look at the ice core data the cooling rate into a formal ice age is only about half a degree per century.

I read (In National Geographic FWIW) around 50 years ago about the potential for a quite rapid onset of an ice age. Ten years was mentioned and I have quite vivid memories of the article because it sort of played against all the narratives at the time.

If the earth does enter a cooling period it belies the past several decades of global hysteria pointing to rising CO2 causing global warming.

The article focused on cooling actually being caused by a spurt of global warming because if the world warms enough to melt significant volumes of Antarctic (30 million cubic kilometres) and Greenland (3 million cubic kilometres) terrestrial ice, the resultant colder water is denser and therefore heavier than warm water and it sinks into the very important and massive thermal controlling deep ocean currents. When that cold water moves through the warm currents it cools everything including the land.

Under the premise of the current hysteria the heating is exponentially linked to rising CO2 levels so cooling when the CO2 levels continue to rise totally debunks Gore and his hundreds of millions of acolytes. If it does cool because of melting ice (which there is not much evidence of) I think it will take a long time to rewarm.

Gabor – actually I was too fast by a factor of ten. It’s more like 0.05 C per century.

The 800 year lag in CO2 after temperature – graphed (Jo Nova, 2011)

She has the Vostok data at a higher resolution than the usual graphs you see. Typically the cooling period is 10 C in 10,000-20,000 years. So not something to worry much about, although the little ice ages like the Maunder and Dalton Minimums are quicker.

A Pegged currency is far worse for the host currency’s economic conditions are imported. If Argentina pegs to the USD, then raising or lowering interest rates by the Fed and the boom-bust business cycle are automatically exported to Argentina. It would be better to peg to a basket of currencies that would be a hybrid system closer to a fixed currency regime for trade.

Dollarisation is not the same as pegging a currency.

This is a success story of dollarisation.

https://mises.org/library/panama-has-no-central-bank

The absence of a central bank in Panama has created a completely market-driven money supply. Panama’s market has also chosen the US dollar as its de facto currency. The country must buy or obtain their dollars by producing or exporting real goods or services; it cannot create money out of thin air. In this way, at least, the system is similar to the old gold standard. Annual inflation in the past 20 years has averaged 1% and there have been years with price deflation, as well: 1986, 1989, and 2003.

Panamanian inflation is usually between 1 and 3 points lower than US inflation; it is caused mostly by the Federal Reserve’s effect on world prices. This market-driven system has created an extremely stable macroeconomic environment. Panama is the only country in Latin America that has not experienced a financial collapse or a currency crisis since its independence.

Hamas uses rape as a weapon of war – and the BBC has only just noticed

Warped morality where Israel is concerned leaves the broadcaster on the side of those who see little wrong with vile anti-Semitic abuse

ZOE STRIMPEL

Many Jews and decent non-Jews are continually expressing shock at Western reactions to Hamas’s orgiastic pogrom in southern Israel on October 7. Well-meaning people are struggling to believe how ubiquitous are vicious lies designed to legitimise and even valorise the harming, killing and raping of Jews.

These lies, as the good-hearted are finding out, underpin the beliefs not just of mobs waving Jihadi slogans, but the responses to 7/10 of some heads of Ivy League universities, UN leaders and special envoys, women’s groups, statesmen, prominent Anglo-American politicians and famous journalists.

By contrast, to those of us who have long been tracking anti-Semitism both within Islamic societies and among their Left-wing admirers in the West, there has been nothing of surprise.

Not in Hamas’s tactics, its unbounded bloodlust and zest for torture and murder and rape, and not in the silence of feminist groups and activists, of the BBC, or of UN Women.

Details have been emerging this week of what was done to women on and after October 7, too grim to be described here.

There is every fear, then, that the Jewish-Israeli women who remain alive in captivity in Gaza are enduring unspeakable sexual crimes.

But it took the most respected broadcaster in the world, the BBC, until just recently to run a report on Hamas’s pre-meditated use of sexual violence in the October 7 attacks.

Once again, I can’t say I’m surprised.

This is an organisation whose star Middle East and war correspondents have long track records of anti-Israel bias.

It has refused to budge on its decision not to describe Hamas as “terrorists”, has a well-documented record of employing and giving platform to terror sympathisers, such as Sana Ebrahimi, and since October 7 has reported as fact unverified stories straight from Hamas, just as it has long used Palestinian sources of dubious legitimacy to shape its reportage and news narratives about Israel.

Hanging over the landscape in which the BBC’s foreign news outfit has played such a key role is an odious moral equivalence: that Israel’s just war to destroy Hamas in Gaza, complete with inevitably tragic and numerous civilian casualties, is the same as, or worse than Hamas’s terrorism.

The disgusting nature of such a moral equivalence has been crudely visible in the silence surrounding Hamas’s use of rape as a war tactic.

The silence implies: rape, torture and murder is bad unless it’s Jewish women being raped, tortured and murdered by Islamists.

Because they deserve it.

They deserve it because those who raped, tortured and murdered them were merely “resisting by any means necessary” – a favourite slogan on college campuses and on marches.

Or showing what “decolonisation” looks like. Or taking the Palestinian struggle “from the river to the sea”.

Not only is there no general moral equivalence between Hamas and Israel and the IDF, but their approach to women couldn’t be more fundamentally opposed.

In Israel or in the IDF, rape is not glorified, it is not legal, it is not common, accepted, and it does not go unpunished when found out.

Any IDF solider who is found guilty of rape, of any woman, including a Palestinian of any type, innocent or terrorist, is tried and locked up.

Hamas, by contrast, revels in its use against the enemy, and condones it against its own women.

The IDF has female soldiers, including combat soldiers, some of whom have been instrumental in the Gaza ground campaign.

Female tank crews from the mixed-gender Caracal brigade mowed over dozens of terrorists on October 7, saving the whole community of Kibbutz Holit.

It’s true that Israel’s record where women are concerned is far from rosy, and some say a long-standing culture of machismo and misogyny led to key warnings about October 7 – from a female analyst and soldier – being dismissed and ignored.

Even so, Israel is the best place in the Middle East for Arab and Muslim women to live their lives. Israeli Arab women are the best educated, have the best shot at wealth, political power, and safety protected by law.

So the irony of making Israel out to be on a par with Hamas – in any sense at all – is a sickly one indeed.

Israel and Hamas occupy different moral universes where all human life, including that of women, is concerned.

But then, as I have found out all too well, the foul treatment of women is standard operations among the pro-Palestine lot.

In the last few weeks I have received the vilest abuse from people with the Palestinian flag in their profile pictures for my public appearances defending Israel.

All of it, almost to the person, whether from women or men, concerned by body, appearance, gender – and, of course, coarsely worded wishes for my demise.

When it stays quiet on the rape of Jewish-Israeli women, and presents falsehoods about Israel as fact, the BBC is siding with these types of people. It’s not surprising, but it is disappointing.

Geological timescales are on at minimum 10K years. We were just getting going with farming and settling down 10K years ago. The Sahara was a wet tropical jungle. Climate changes, so gradually most humans wouldn’t notice much. However accelerate that over 10K years and you get events like the Sahara changing into a desert.

I don’t buy into the CO2 gloom, plenty of records in the geological timescale where CO2 was higher, in fact much higher but temperatures were about present levels or lower. The sun has a major part, orbit changes/wobbles and movement of the continents blocking/unblocking sea currents.

Then we have events like the Tongan volcano throwing curveballs in.

Hamas uses rape as a weapon of war – and the BBC has only just noticed

Warped morality where Israel is concerned leaves the broadcaster on the side of those who see little wrong with vile anti-Semitic abuse

ZOE STRIMPEL

From the Comments

– Violent, Hamas-style Islamists have been welcomed to this country for decades.
As a result, today there are millions living in our midst. And that is completely unacceptable.
We must do everything we can to deport them. No ifs, no buts. No questions asked.

– Just watched three Ivy League presidents evade the question: Is chanting ‘genocide to the Jews’ against your university rules? They would not answer yes/no to the question. It was moral bankruptcy

– The Left’s anti-Semitism trumps women’s safety in the same way as trans issues trump women’s safety! Truly shocking.

– All Muslims worldwide know that Hamas have kept Palestinians in poverty for decades! They’ve had totalitarian rule! If they really cared about the people of Palestine they’d be calling for Hamas to surrender so they can actually be free! Anything else is propaganda.

– Sadly most Muslims are killed by other Muslim

– It’s amazing listening to the heads of top universities in America refusing to condemn anti-semitism.

– The BBC is becoming indistinguishable from Al-Jazeera. And that is no compliment

– I don’t know exactly what Hamas claim to worship, but based on their actions on October 7, it could never be anything I would dignify with the word “God”. They belong in a zoo – preferably in with the lions and tigers.

– Even they Zoo’s have rules……

– it was not just women that were raped. the commentry about some of the hostages is absolutely brutal and terrifying. the people sympathetic with hamas are insane and just as dangerous as hamas.

Gabriel is a very courageous woman.

Brigitte Gabriel (see link to Rubin’s interview on previous page) reminds me of Cassie in her knowledge, her passion and her fortitude. She is a Lebanese Christian now a US citizen by marriage, who has lived through Palestinian wars and outrages and clearly identifies what the problem is with Palestinian entrenched hatreds.

The Middle East was quiet when a very strong leader – Trump – was in the White House, she opines. Since the left took over in the US, the usual suspects (Iran, China, Russia and their acolytes) have all raised their territorial ambitions, creating chaos.

I hope the US can get back that Big Stick and wield it towards treaties for peace. For the next year, a dangerous time until the US recovers its mojo, I’m hoping that Israel can destroy the Hamas tunnels and leave Gazans and the West Bank begging for a new dawn. I don’t want that new dawn to include more Pallie refugees in the West. Let the Middle East take them and Albo’s 850 be the last of them here. As Brigitte is the first to admit, war is horrible and inhuman, but sometimes is the only answer to eradicate sheer evil. My feelings exactly.

Andrew Bolt asks why Brittany Higgins was handed $2.3million based on 40 years of lost wages, when she kept working in politics

Andrew Bolt has asked why Brittany Higgins was handed $2.3million in compensation, partly based on 40 years of lost wages, when she kept working in politics after making her rape allegations.

The political commentator raised the question in a column in the Herald-Sun on Wednesday evening.

Ms Higgins secured the hefty payment in December last year after the ACT Director of Public Prosecutions dropped the charge against Bruce Lehrmann – citing fears for her mental health.

The payment was settled following just one day of mediation with the Labor government.

Higgins claimed she was not supported by her former Parliament House bosses, Linda Reynolds and Michaelia Cash, after she disclosed her alleged rape to them.

Ms Reynolds and Ms Cash have denied any wrongdoing, but were not given the opportunity to defend themselves during mediation.

From what we are saying there seems to be two potential reasons for global cooling.

One, which seems to be playing to the current narrative, is caused by reduced solar activity and the other is the melting of the terrestrial ice caused by higher solar activity or global warming.

They are significantly different with potentially significantly different onset times and different resolution times.

The Madness may end around 2030:

World’s Top Arctic Scientist Warns Climate Crisis Is a ‘Globalist Scam’

One of the world’s top Arctic scientist’s has spoken out to debunk the “climate crisis” narrative and warn the public that the Earth is actually about to enter a period of “global cooling.”

Top polar scientist Andrey Fedotov of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences declared that “warming is about to end” and Earth is about to enter an “ice age.”

I thought the story of the crewman from one of the midget submarines deployed at Pearl Harbor might be of interest. He survived and became a vice-president of Toyota post-war.

-o-o-O-o-o-

Five Type A midget submarines took part in the Pearl Harbor raid. Launched near the entrance to the Harbor the night before the attack, one was spotted and sunk by USS Ward in the first combat action of the new theatre of war. At least one submarine entered the harbor and was later sunk by USS Monaghan. Another drifted around to the east coast of Oahu and was captured there a day later.

Sub-Lieutenant Kazuo Sakamaki’s submarine had technical problems from the start. The gyrocompass was out of order, but with flotilla commander Captain Hanabusa’s permission, Sakamaki proceeded anyway. The vessel rolled, went 90 degrees off course, was depth-charged, grounded twice, and then drifted ashore. Sakamaki and his crewman escaped the craft, but only Sakamaki made it onto the beach, where unconscious, he was captured.

As the first Japanese forces prisoner of war (POW) taken by the Allies, he was in a difficult situation. He was unconscious when found and so had no way to die fighting; this was the honourable end that the Japanese military usually preferred. He therefore petitioned his captors to be allowed to commit suicide, but this was denied.

As the news of the midget raid spread in Japan, Sakamaki was left out of the accounts of what had happened to the midget submarine crews. While his nine fallen comrades were elevated to ranks, and venerated everywhere, his name was not mentioned. His portrait was not even included in the paintings and photographs and pictures that were featured in newspapers.

Sakamaki was photographed as per normal before his captivity. He looks cheerful, although it is said he had burned his cheeks with a cigarette before posing for the booking photograph. He co-operated with his captors, having had no training in resisting questioning. His confinement was uneventful. He spent the rest of the war in prisoner-of-war camps in the continental United States.

Having survived the war, Sakami was eventually returned to Japan. He began work with the Toyota motor company, married his wife Sadako in 1946, and began raising a family. Soon he wrote his memoirs entitled Four Years as Prisoner of War Number One, and in 1949, his story of the Pearl Harbor attack, which was published in English, I Attacked Pearl Harbor. He eventually became the president of Toyota’s Brazilian overseas section. Some reports say he was shunned in his home country, but then again there was a great turning against those who had taken Japan to war. He apparently spoke little of the past conflict, but in 1991, he attended a Texas historical conference and saw his midget submarine that had been taken to the United States. He died in 1999 aged 81, in Japan.

James Morrow:

It’s fair to say that not since the days when Scott Morrison struggled to answer questions about the experiences of women at Parliament House has a government found itself so under water with the press gallery.

And at least back in those heady days, the PM fronted the press himself.

Instead, with the government struggling to manage the story around the 141 immigration detainees set free by the High Court (three already picked by the cops) and why they failed to plan for this eventuality, the ministers responsible fronted the media.

To borrow a phrase, it did not go well.

Under repeated questioning from a press gallery that had clearly lost its patience with the government, ministers refused to answer even basic questions about how many of the released detainees had committed murder.

Seemingly clutching at straws, Immigration Minister Andrew Giles simply gibbered on about making applications before the court.

Home Affairs Minister Clare O’Neil reverted to her usual strategy when pressed and went through a laundry list of grievances against the Coalition, even bringing up the Morrison family’s ill-timed trip to Hawaii.

Quite an exercise in deflection to be sure, but the true leader of the pack in what can only be called a race to the bottom was Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus.

Smug and arrogant on a good day, Dreyfus was clearly rattled by a series of questions including whether he anticipated that when he began his legal career he anticipated that one day he would assist in writing laws that attempted to pre-emptively detain someone on the basis they might one day commit a crime.

“If someone buys a Ferrari, could they be arrested for pre-emptively …” the reporter asked, though he was cut off before listing all the various fun ways one could land in trouble behind the wheel of an Italian supercar.

But it was another question to Dreyfus – would he apologise to those affected by deeds committed by those released – that caused him to lose it.

“Do not interrupt,” he yelled, jabbing his finger at the young female journo in a way that would have led to accusations of misogyny and bullying had it been committed by a male Coalition frontbencher.

“I will not be apologising for acting in accordance with a High Court decision. Your question is an absurd one!”

Quite.

Two further points need to be made here.

One, there was always a risk that Australia’s indefinite detention regime would be struck down, yet the government appeared to have been entirely unprepared for that eventuality.

Two, Dreyfus himself backed in the Australian Human Rights Commission’s intervention in favour of the Myanmar refugee who served his time for raping a ten year old but couldn’t be sent back to a country that didn’t recognise him.

Perhaps this explains why the Attorney-General was so cross.

And just maybe instead of lashing out at journalists just doing their job, he should take a look in the mirror and wonder if there is someone else to blame for this mess.

Article came with a pic of the three dickheads. Dreyfus, O’Neill and Giles. They are your best and brightest apparently who know the mood of the country. Like Bowen. And Albanese.

A huge legal travesty and a frankly perverse verdict. The background is even more indictory of these media bastards. The whole thing started when whistle blower David McBride came to masters and his hyena pack with evidence of over-investigation of war crimes by Australian troops. This was ignored and instead McBride’s evidence was used for war crimes used against BRS who was pursuing the pigshit deserter hekmatullah who shot 3 Australian troops in the back. BRS was cleaning up hekmatullah’s associates but never got the bastard. The US forces had him locked up but released him to the taliban when biden crawled out of Afghanistan.

3 things: Mcbride was at best a naive fool; there is never any mention of what BRS was doing or the death of those Australians; thirdly, we don’t know what BRS’s ROE were; if they had been open ended as black ops usually are and not restricted to the general ROE.

My poor, sad Alma Mater, the University of Sydney, where long ago I took two worthwhile degrees, is currently swirling down the woke moral plughole.

We can probably handle [a Big Australia] but we it won’t be very good for living conditions. We’ll basically be living in high-rise shoe boxes. We’ll have permanent water shortages. And we’ll have to spend tens of billions of dollars on water desalination because we just simply won’t have enough water.

All aboard the magic bus!

Biden-favored EV bus maker Proterra goes bust and leaves a trail of broken and irreparable buses (5 Dec, via Lucianne)

Early on, the company’s customers were noticing issues with the buses. The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority purchased five Proterra buses in 2019. The company promised ranges of 100 to 120 miles on a single charge, but the authority found they ran as little as 60 to 100 miles on a charge — even less in cold weather.

The problems with the Proterra buses go back to well before the company’s bankruptcy. PBS/NPR affiliate WHYY reported in July 2021 that South Philadelphia transit system purchased some of the buses, which stopped running when their chassis cracked.

In August 2021, the Minnesota Reformer reported that Duluth’s planned transition to an all-electric bus fleet also ran into problems with cracked chassis. The buses were also failing to drive up steep hills.

In a quarterly filing this summer, just before it announced its bankruptcy, Proterra remarked on how important government funding is to its business model.

This particular tale of woe goes on and on and on. It’s rather fun. Unfortunately companies relying on government money are especially vulnerable to the whims of bureaucrats, and it certainly doesn’t help if your buses can’t get up a hill.

Beyond the expected report from FAO, the conference has already drawn criticism for perceived hypocrisy and elitism as wealthy delegates from around the world have flown into an oil-rich country to discuss ways to change global economic systems to counter climate change.

The end of this century will be too late.

At that rate, by 2030 there will be a shortfall in water storage of 30% per person.

Mind you, he wasn’t working with this year’s immigration figure, the highest ever.
