Over the years, whenever Jews, Sikhs, Hindus and Buddhists have moved to a new country, they generally try to assimilate and blend in. When they send their children to state schools they don’t make demands on the school for such things as a prayer room, nor do they insist the school provide kosher and vegetarian food. Jews, Sikhs and Hindus make no such demands. Instead, Jewish, Sikh and Hindu children bring their own food to school, and they don’t insist on special rooms to pray in. And if they want special schools to provide a religious environment and cater kosher and vegetarian food, they set up their own Jewish, Sikh and Hindu schools.

But there is one noxious religious ideology that does make demands, despite it being a minority (for the time being) in the West. That ideology is called…..

Islam

Of course, it is all part of Jihad. Jihad doesn’t just mean violence, war or rape, no, no, they do those things very well of course. But jihad also means badgering, intimidating, coercing and bullying non-Muslims to capitulate to their disgusting religious ideology.

Key Liberals lend support to an Indigenous governor-general

Former Coalition Indigenous Australians spokesman Julian Leeser has endorsed an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander as ­the nation’s next governor-general, suggesting Tom Calma, Ken Wyatt, Marcia Langton and Patrick Dodson as viable options.

With David Hurley not ­expected to have his term as ­Governor-General extended beyond July, Professor Calma – a leading Indigenous rights campaigner and co-architect of the voice to parliament – told The Australian on Monday it was time to appoint a qualified and capable Indigenous person as the King’s representative.

Mr Leeser said Anthony Albanese should consult with Peter Dutton to ensure bipartisanship over a suitable Indigenous appointment and ­ensure it would assist the nation on its “path of reconciliation”.

Opposition Indigenous Australians spokeswoman Jacinta Price said race should not be considered in appointing a governor-general. “It should be based on finding the right candidate for the job, who is qualified and has the best interest of all Australians as their sole focus, regardless of their background,” she said.

“Australians have made it clear they do not want to be divided along the lines of race, yet the activist class continues to push for identity and race-based politics, undermining trust in our institutions and setting back the causes they claim to champion.”

Former prime minister John Howard did not make the case for an Indigenous appointment but said it was important that whoever took on the role was well qualified.

Former NSW Liberal premier Barry O’Farrell threw his support behind calls for a first Indigenous head of state, saying Professor Calma had “given voice to an idea whose time has come”. Mr O’Farrell, recently Australia’s high commissioner to India, said there had “always been an element of symbolism in federal and state vice-regal appointments, whether Doug Nicholls as the first Indigenous governor, Quentin Bryce as the first woman appointed or Isaac Isaacs as our first Australian-born governor-general”.

“As with Tom Calma’s call, these appointments sent strong messages nationally and internationally about the character of Australia.

Mr Leeser, who argued for the next governor-general to be an Indigenous Australian on the day of the King’s coronation, said this was a “natural step in the evolution of the role of the crown in our country”.

“First, the person must be qualified,” he said. “The governor-general will take office before a general election. If the result is uncertain, the governor-general will be the umpire. So it is important he or she has extensive experience in government or in the law.

“Second, the person must be a unifying figure. That is the informal test that is applied to this role and it is even more important given this can be a step on our pathway to reconciliation.

“I also believe the Prime Minister should heed the lesson of the referendum – and that was the importance of consultation. Though not required by law, I believe (he) should consult with the Leader of the Opposition and make this a bipartisan moment.”

Mr Leeser said a number of Indigenous leaders would be qualified and were unifying figures. “Tom Calma, Ken Wyatt, Marcia Langton and, if health allowed, Pat Dodson all immediately spring to mind,” he said.

Mr O’Farrell said professors Calma and Langton would make strong candidates and there were options from the political sphere, including Labor MPs Marion Scrymgour and Linda Burney and former Liberal MP Ken Wyatt, while “outstanding Australians” like Noel Pearson or Jackie Huggins could “make significant contributions as head of state”

We have guests coming. They are grain farmers from near Metz in Eastern France. We thought that it would be nice to take them for a trip through a grain growing area.

Anywhere should be super-interesting for them.
Farmers love seeing how their own product is grown in another country.

For a novel experience, find a cane farmer who’ll host them on his farm for a day.
That is always an eye-popper, especially for Australian farmers, say graingrowers, sheepmen & the like. It’s like entering lord of the rings (for them) into a world of farming & farm production they never imagined existed.

Plus farmers are always quite impressed to see some actual bamboo growing.

I’m sorry but Ron DeSantis is not like John Howard. I think also it is a testament to his character that he’s retired from the race and like Vivek he hasn’t wasted anytime endorsing Donald Trump.

I think people here need some perspective. I’m glad Trump is running and winning but I’d be equally happy if the leading contender was Ron DeSantis.

Agree 100%

The adoration for Trump is reaching cult like levels, with anyone opposing him being labelled “deep state swamp creature”.
In what way has Florida been run along “establishment (TM) lines”?
I suppose everyone just wants a good show.

I want Trump to win, he has to win but the latest polling has him only level with a walking corpse, and when that walking corpse is replaced by a “hope and change” candidate, what then?
I think the biggest issue coming is the amount of people who viscerally hate Trump and if the rats come up with a popular alternative it’ll be look out.
I hope they don’t and stick with the corpse but I doubt it.

At the time, agronomist Norman Borlaug (Nobel Peace prize, 1970) was already quietly implementing his “green revolution” in south Asia, which effectively saved hundreds of millions, if not billions of people over decades since, from starvation.

A lesson forgotten in Sri Lanka less than 50 years later.

Smart idea Bons. Should be more clarity by tomorrow. BOM has been in chicken little mode for a week now.

US CIMSS & JTWC both showing minimal interest in the system so far. Though JTWC is stirring with it’s last bulletin.

Wind shear is high, apart from a narrow band which the system is on the edge of. However other conditions to intensify are strong. It hasn’t been named and won’t be till tomorrow, maybe…

The extension of the watch north from Ayr to Cairns tells me there’s a lot of uncertainty atm. If I were a betting man possibly due to intensification being slower than expected. If it rapidly intensifies then Ayr to St Lawrence is in the firing line. The longer it stays as a tropical storm the higher the chance of a more northern crossing.

I have priced leaving the car at Tullamarine & flying home for a house sitting for a few days. As a precaution. Decision point for me tomorrow afternoon to book.

. Could a mother in that plight turn love of the child into restoration of her own dignity after that degradation. What are the options? Offer for adoption to a friendly childless Arab Israeli couple.

A Jewish family loving the child of the rape of a Jewish woman by a maurading Arab man was very sensitively handled in that show ‘The Beauty Queen of Jerusalem’.

My mother always used to say about babies that they bring their own love with them, and that is so true.

It just displays how very much Jewish people are feeling the strain.

Consider how many aspects of old fashioned, easily recognised antisemitism are being played out at present right under the noses of those who pride themselves on understanding historical antisemitism. Not me, they say, just look at the evidence.

1 – The locations where Jews are permitted to live were subject to decisions by others. That’s been practiced in Europe and the Middle East for centuries. Ghettos. Jewish quarters. “Settlements are an object to peace” is the contemporary form of it. Are we supposed to believe warfare against Jews is warranted when they live where others insist they shouldn’t.

2 – Evidence was not accepted from a Jew in medieval European or in Islamic courts. Look at the range of Islamic and westerners refusal to believe evidence about October 7th, Hamas’s human shields, and evidence of UN’s entwinement with Hamas and anything anti Israel by NGOs. All those who say “But it’s only Israeli hasbara” without conducting their own assessment are in this basket.

3 – The idea that Jews turned against their devine covernant, and they’re in league with the devil has been carried over to the idea that the Jewish state is the ultimate anti-humanitarian state, the state most in breach of UN human rights decrees – where these accusations are taken to be the ultimate measures of morality today.

I’m not a mother so can only attempt to weakly imagine. But I really can’t imagine what range of emotions would result from a child born from a rape on October 7th or during Hamas captivity, How would you discuss it with your child? How to explain your love for them even though the cause of their conception. How would that child handle it through their own life.

FMD. Sophie Elsworth reporting:

ABC managing director David Anderson has succumbed to pressure and will meet disgruntled staff over their grievances on the ­taxpayer-funded broadcaster’s coverage of the Israel-Hamas war and the sacking of fill-in radio host Antoinette Lattouf.

The ABC’s internal crisis grew on Monday after about 200 staff met via an online union meeting on Monday and passed a vote of no confidence in Mr Anderson.

Sources at the meeting told The Australian that the ABC’s global affairs editor, John Lyons, dominated the meeting, voicing annoyance at the handling of coverage of the Israel-Hamas war and even changes in directions to the use of the word “genocide” in stories that meant it should not be reported without challenge.

Lattouf’s sacking was also discussed at the union meeting.

The Australian can reveal that just three days before she signed with the ABC in November, Lattouf boasted on social media she could not be fired over her views relating to the Israel-Gaza war.

Frustrated employees at the meeting said Mr Anderson had failed to properly handle outside attacks criticising staff and he had not defended the ABC’s integrity.

Just hours after the staff declared a lack of confidence in him, Mr Anderson said in a statement: “I have listened to and heard the concerns of members of staff and I will meet with them in the coming weeks.”

A motion was also passed, by 128 votes to three, for a vote of no confidence in Mr Anderson and stating that he must take urgent action to win back the confidence of staff.

The motion included that senior management must win staff and public confidence back, work with unions to build a culturally informed process for supporting staff under attack, address inequality for staff of colour and uphold a transparent complaints process when grievances were lodged about staff.

The union push came as it was revealed that Lattouf had told her social media followers that because she was a freelance journalist she couldn’t be sacked and said “f..k them” to anybody who did not want to work with her as a result of her views on the Israel-Gaza war.

The posts by Lattouf were shared on her Instagram and TikTok accounts to more than 66,000 followers and included her praising journalists who signed an open letter calling for newsrooms to treated unverified information from the government of Israel and terror group Hamas with the same “professional scepticism”.

In a three-minute video posted on November 24, she told her followers: “As an independent and freelance journalist, nobody can fire me.”

Lattouf, who has Lebanese heritage, then laughs and says: “I will certainly be using my voice and sharing my concerns.

“I have thought about future job prospects, so if somebody doesn’t want to work with me because I care about dozens of journalists who have been slaughtered by (sic) doing their work, because I care about the 1000s and 1000s of children who have been killed and civilians harmed … then honestly f..k them.”

Lattouf was asked to be a fill-in radio presenter to replace ABC Sydney radio’s mornings host Sarah Macdonald for five days from December 18, but she was sacked after three shifts on ­December 20.

She shared a Human Rights Watch post about the Israel-Gaza war that read: “The Israeli government is using starvation of civilians as a weapon of war in Gaza.”

She says she was sacked because of her ethnicity.

She has lodged a claim with the Fair Work Commission claiming she was unlawfully terminated from her employment.

On Monday, the law firm representing Lattouf said in a media release the ABC now claimed she was “not sacked from her role”.

Ultimo could be used as a measure to assist the housing crisis. After having these cockroaches forced out and put to useful work.
Shut it down. Fire them all.

Maybe enter into a competition between New South Wales and Victoriastan Mr Miles. Courier Mail’s Stephanie Bennett:

Queensland has built fewer new homes in the past year than at almost any time in the past decade, with new data revealing the state was falling well short of its housing target.

Figures released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics on the number of new builds completed show the Sunshine State added 32,411 new dwellings from September 2022 to September 2023, compared with 34,639 in the corresponding period – a fall of about 6 per cent.

That figure fell far short of the 49,000 new homes Queensland would need to build every year to fulfil the state’s share of the 1.2 million new Australian homes by 2029 – a target the federal and state governments committed to at last August’s national cabinet.

Over the past decade, an average of 37,500 new homes have been built in Queensland each year – peaking in 2016-2017, when more than 47,000 new homes were built.

But Housing Minister Meaghan Scanlon insisted the government was taking measures to increase the delivery of new homes – and hit the new-home targets.

“We’re offering free TAFE and apprenticeships to grow our own construction workforce,” she said.

“Our SEQ regional plan will help to deliver almost 900,000 new homes where they’re needed in well-located areas.

“We’ve introduced a Bill to reduce even more red tape, unlock land and allow new pathways for housing developments.”

Housing Industry Australia senior economist Tom Devitt said the ABS data also revealed the amount of construction commencement in the September 2023 quarter was Australia’s weakest in more than a decade.

“This lack of new work entering the construction pipeline is expected to produce a trough in new-house commencements in 2024, when Australia will start construction on just 95,400 new houses, the weakest year in over a decade,” he said.

Mr Devitt said it was essential all levels of government were playing their part in boosting the amount of new homes.

“Holding all levels of government to account for improving planning regimes, reducing red tape, and supporting the development of appropriate infrastructure and a skilled construction workforce must be a priority this year,” he said.

LNP Deputy Leader Jarrod Bleijie said it was clear Queensland needed more new homes, “not less, to ease the housing crisis”.

“It is unfathomable the number of new homes has fallen by a fifth under Labor and Queensland had the biggest falls in the last year alone,” he said.

“Amidst the chaos and crisis, Labor has not only miserably failed their own target, it’s clear they simply have no plan to deliver the new homes we need.”

“It’s hilarious how trolls claim to despise the people they’re trolling — but are addicted to the attention they’re getting!”

It is showing you as a man with Square shoulders .. and knowing that any one on your sphere one influence …or even remotely approaching it … is clearly succumbing to the necessity ..no indeed not ..The ADDICTION to your presence ..

after all where else could we find access to cartoon about Branco …

Oh Gosh ” It’s hilarious how trolls claim to despise the people they’re trolling — but are addicted to the attention they’re getting!”’

OH TOOOOOM !!! Just tell me How much you …speaking of addiction … or more likely corecion … pictch away at me for no reason about some thing so inconsequential …

Now IF I were a little bit irritated I might have shrugged my shoulder .. made a cup of tea and rubbed someones shoulders aand cast my mind to something a bit more intreresting …

OH But NOT YOU TOM ..

Apparently you feel driven to be rude in the internet to someone that you don’t know but hit them up with “base line Tasmania ” Insults .. but you did it any way cos you are a ~squish~

Beware Greeks baring grifts.

Greece to impose ‘climate crisis resilience fee’ on holidaymakers from this month (22 Jan)

The new tourist tax will reportedly come into effect this month, according to Schengen Visa Info.

The new levy is anticipated to yield €300million (£257million) in 2024 and will aid in the reconstruction of the nation’s infrastructure that has been damaged by climate change.

Last year, hundreds of wildfires ravaged parts of Greece including Rhodes. The devastating wildfires resulted in at least 28 deaths and injured 75 people.

Maybe they could use it to cut down all those eucalypts they so unwisely planted all over the country.

ANALYSIS OF THE ASSASSINATION THREAT AGAINST PRESIDENT TRUMP BY ALEX SOROS, SON OF DEMOCRAT PARTY MEGA DONOR GEORGE SOROS

.
@AlexanderSoros is the son of @georgesoros.

His post tonight is a direct threat of violence against President Trump.

If you look closely at the photo in the @TheAtlantic article Alex Soros posted tonight, there is a call for assassination embedded in the pictures.

Not only does one of the pictures have a single bullet hole through glass, and not only is $47 of cash seen, but there’s messaging conveyed through the arrangement of the money.

While some of the bills are upside down with obfuscated writing, “States of America” is legible on one of the bills. On another bill, the finger is covering the face of the US President.

And on another bill, the words “silver certificate” are legible.

The $47 in cash is a reference to the 47th President of the United States Of America (Donald Trump).

Silver Bullet= simple guaranteed solution for a difficult problem =certificate

Alex Soros is conveying that “the silver bullet” for $47 is death and that a financial award will be paid to the person who does it.

This is a threat against the life of President Trump. The son of George Soros and
@TheAtlantic are suggesting they will give an award to whoever kills 47 because the other legible text on the bottom bill with the President’s face on it says “will pay to the bearer on demand”.

Aka a paid hit man.

This assassination threat needs to be taken very seriously.
@SecretService @FBI @JasonMillerinDC @LaCivitaC @TeamTrump @DanScavino @TheStevenCheung @EricTrump @DonaldJTrumpJr @realDonaldTrump

He’s not watching it anymore. He laughed it off as a lunatic site replete with conspiracy theorists. Why do you even care about what people think of this site? It is just another blog. Inconsequential to the world at large. No impact, no significance. It is just for fun. There’s nothing wrong with that.

So why mention it?

Further to conspiracies and stupid ideas, interesting how you rise to defend the dribbler called Mark Bolton, someone who does bring this site into disrepute. But I suspect you don’t mind some “conspiracies’ and some ‘stupid ideas’.

Mr Bolton’s profound insights remind me of Spud from Trainspotting’s job interview, speaking at a million miles an hour:

Spud : No! I went to Craigy, Craig Newton. I just put down “Royal Edinburgh College” to help get the job. There’s too much discrimination in this town, man. Cause they’re both schools, right? And we are all in this together, and I want to put across the general idea rather than the details, like people get all hung up on details, like which school did I go to? How many grades did I get? It could be six, it could be none. It’s not important! What is important is that I am, yes?

Man : Mr. Murphy, do you mean that you lied on your application?
Spud : No! Oh yeah, oh yes, only to get my foot in the door, showing initiative and that like.

Man : But you were referred here by the department of employment, there was no need for you to get your “foot in the door” as you put it.
Spud : Eh, cool, whatever you say man, sorry. You’re the man, the dude-in-the-chair.

The site would be better of without Bolton bombing it regularly.

It’s not a though he makes any sort of rational arguments, and his anti-Semitism is growing more obvious. He’s bringing craziness from some very crazy internet sites to pollute the atmosphere here. Others have to come in and act normally inbetween these spittle-flecked sprays. Up to Dover as to whether he’s interested in letting this continue and for how long. I guess one of the hopes is that Bolton will just drown in his own soupy mind and dribble off. Even Sinc, the greatest libertarian, did have some limits for allowing in site bombers. Meanwhile, the risk is that others will find better things to do than simply being interstitial to the loon if this sort of bombing continues.

They then stay up until 7:30 AM DST the next day to rant about (((Jews))).
