In a memo to staff obtained by Daily Mail Australia, South African-born Woolworths CEO Brad Banducci told staff he was ‘deeply sorry’ they had to endure the backlash.

Ah, yes.
The “Kevin Rudd/NRL” style apology.
“I apologise that you have to put up with rednecks abusing you” apology on behalf of someone who you are gaslighting as the guilty party.
I will bet that any complaint, no matter how polite, is being logged as racist abuse.
The Saffie* CEO should have learnt many things out of the October referendum, with the main one being that the label “racist” has lost all of it’s potency.

* I love how the MSM are constantly labelling him as “the Seth Effrican born CEO”.
Classic dog-whistle which is meant to convey the impression of “arrogant c-nt”. In this case the stereotype proves to be true. I want him to go on the telly and say “Diplomatic Immunity!”.

This has gone past pride and into arrogance. If Greenwich is so proud of his lifestyle how come he is suing Mark Latham for accurately describing it?

This reminds me of the school councils in the U.S. which have graphically pornographic books in their libraries, but prevent parents from reading excerpts from these books because they are so offensive!

Hamas are very good ar recasting their own butchery of Gazan civilians as IDF brutality.
If you AK47s it’s not the IDF and given Hamas’s utter disdain for human life and their all Gazan deaths are martyrdom mantra why wouldn’t they, both to win the propaganda war and to keep Gazans in line.
We’ve seen them kill Gazans trying to loot trucks and early on, multiple deaths of people trying to
flee south, on the main road through the centre.
The IDF might make mistakes, but they have no incentive to kill civilians willy nilly, in fact every reason not to, including it goes against their reason for being.

And still they come!

The Allan government has been slammed over a “divisive” new campaign advising Victorians to “decolonise” their book lists this Australia Day.

The opposition have called for the CEO of government agency, Respect Victoria, to resign after the taxpayer-funded organisation launched an email campaign advising Victorians on how to “decolonise” their reading list this year.

In an email titled, “Decolonise your booklist this January 26”, the family violence prevention organisation asks subscribers to commit to reading books from Indigenous authors.

“The negative implications of colonisation continue to affect all of us, and one of the best ways to challenge racism, violence and discrimination is to take in what First Nations people – women especially – are saying,” it reads.

“With listening and learning comes greater empathy, solidarity and respect.”

But Liberal MP Nick McGowan on Thursday said the campaign demonstrated “none of these qualities” and only pitted Victorians against each other.

“It is not the role of government agencies to be pitting one group of people against another. I know that in responding to this campaign, that is precisely what Respect Victoria seek, though I must,” he said.

“I cannot, in all good conscience, allow this kind of behaviour to slide.

“I call upon the acting CEO of ‘Respect Victoria’ to resign today.”

The organisation is currently led by acting CEO Serina McDuff.

Mr McGowan questioned how the taxpayer funded organisation believed Victorians should “decolonise” their booklists.

“I would like to understand how current ‘booklists’ are a threat to all First Nations peoples “safety, equality and respect..” as claimed/implied by this Respect Victoria campaign?” he said.

“We all know this is an intentional use of inflammatory words to attract attention, but in this case the language is coming from an organisation which Victorians can reasonably expect would denounce such divisive marketing ploys.”

The upper house MP questioned why Respect Victoria considered the message a priority at a time when family violence incidents are reported to be increasing.

“At a time when family violence incidents are reported to be increasing, and the Victoria Labor Government is cutting 25 per cent of the staff at Family Safety Victoria, I would like to know how Respect Victoria would consider this a priority worthy of their taxpayer funded attention?” he said.

The Victorian government has been contacted for comment.

Speaking of old ladies, Hairy drives us from shopping at the Butchers and at Coles in Edgecliff to then go to the big Woollies carpark in Double Bay, specifically so he can browse around in Dan Murphy’s, which he loves to do. I’ll sit in the car and read, I say, if you’d be good enough to go up to the top floor carpark for me, as you know I get claustrophobic down in the bowels of this one. Your wish is my command, he says back to me, grinning at being given leeway to go a bit mad in Dan’s. I’d prefer that in writing I say, but he shakes his head. No deal.

He returns half an hour later with a lot of bottles (what’s Midori? he asks me re my request for my punch). Yes, Dans do stock it. You should have been there, he says to me, because there’s an old Jewish lady up there outside Woolies giving a very strong lecture to two young women sitting at a table there collecting for Medecines Sans Frontieres. What frontier are you on about? Just Gaza? she spits out at them. They don’t know what’s hit them.

There should be more of it.

I met a traveller from an antique land,
Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal, these words appear:
My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.”
Percy Bysshe Shelley.

Thanks for trying to raise the standards amongst these Philistines but a forlorn hope. Shelley’s great poem’s point is perhaps not appropriate for the Capt Cook statue’s vandalism. Shelley was writing about the egos of tyrannical rulers but also their ignorance in not appreciating how the artists who depicted them despised them and who resisted the lone and level sands of history more vigorously than the kings they wrote about.

Cook’s Two vast and trunkless legs of stone have suffered not the indignity of history quashing ego but just pure vandalism and the nihilism of the activists. I will be interested in how the judiciary deals with these bastards. Apparently the CV images are plain. If they don’t get a few years then it it will not be Cook’s statue which is a wreck but the society which did not defend itself against the vandals within which is.

James Cook was a humane, kind and decent man, a man of science, a man of the enlightenment

I bet he wasn’t all of those things.

You don’t run a ship, or a number of ships across multiple expeditions covering over 100,000 km 250 years ago over an eleven year period with shit weather (he went south of the Antarctic Circle no less than three times) and disease at every turn by being humane and kind. Not to everyone, at least.

As the Russian bloke remarked, apropos of John Wick:

‘He is a man of focus, commitment, and sheer will.’

Without those men of focus civilisation wouldn’t have existed. However – he wasn’t a roving exterminator, either.

Guaranteed he would have had faults and deficiencies like everyone else – but those ‘get shit done’ guys are the reason we enjoy the standard of living we do.

I find it impossible to reconcile that there is a statue of James Cook (or was, and there will be again) and equal honours have been extended to a woman who one kicked a football to a standard of a 14 year old boy.

I attended Endeavour High School in The Shire. Our school motto, like Cook’s, was ‘Honour Bound.’ I doubt that it would resonate with young people today – indeed, most of them wouldn’t know what any of it means.

Saw a few cars and tradie vehicles flying Australian flags today, and based on previous experience, there will be a lot more tomorrow. Unlike decadent councils elsewhere, our council is hosting an all day event celebrating the event. There is a day of multi-culti stalls and performances and a later, a rock band in the park, a citizenship ceremony, and a fireworks display in the evening.

Queanbeyan has every type of ethnic group, but apart from Skips, none are dominant. The local Aborigines are kept in check by a hefty contingent of Islanders, who don’t buy into their ‘poor me’ shit, let alone that they really own all the land. Amazing how they pull their heads in when nobody buys into the narrative and large, imposing individuals reinforce the fact.

I never said Cook wasn’t a disciplinarian. Cook was a disciplinarian but unlike many of his contemporaries he was considered fair plus he wasn’t reckless with his crew’s lives, which is why men wanted to sail with him.

I’m not sure of the constitutional implications, but Texas was a separate country when it joined the Union. In terms of border enforcement, it may be that Texas has residual rights not shared by other border States. I’m guessing that this is behind a lot of the unilateral actions by Texas – they are prepared to go to SCOTUS and argue that their joining the Union did not wash away every single aspect of their previous status. It was not unconditional.

We shall see.

Oh, and by the way, I think too many people here take for granted Dover’s willingness to supply emails on request. Same for Sinc in the past. This is something nice that they do to be helpful to commenters.

It is a kind service & much appreciated.

Though it was puzzling to receive unsolicited & unexpected emails from other Cats, saying they’d been supplied my email address by Sinclair Davidson.
Each time contact was made with me, I’d immediately change to a new email address.

Thus any unsolicited contact would, by the email address used, unwittingly reveal if they’d obtained my email from another commenter, or from Catallaxy itself.

Once you realise that each contact is from a “virgin” email address used only to comment at Catallaxy, it becomes quite tempting – via adroit use of email addresses & domain names – to game the unsolicited responses.

I’m not saying Sinclair Davidson used to supply commenters emails without knowledge of that commenter, however I’ve yet to arrive at how email addresses never supplied to another & used only to comment at Catallaxy, came to be in the hands of regular Catallaxians.

The global burning freaks are scraping the bottom of the barrel now – hopefully a sign of desperation:

Our changing climate may compromise the health of our babies before they’ve even exited the womb.

There’s growing evidence extreme temperatures and natural disasters are linked to premature births, stillbirths and even abnormal gestational weight and size in many parts of the world — including Australia.

And with global temperatures on the up and up, and natural disasters becoming more frequent, the World Health Organization (WHO) says mothers and their babies are in danger.

“Climate change is a growing threat to maternal, newborn and child health that can no longer be ignored,” the WHO says.

Inaction could even mean we lose some of the hard-won advances for maternal and newborn survival we’ve made in recent decades.

Truly disgusting. And, a pack of lies.

The tax cut announced today are a bit of a disappointment.
The initial tax cuts would have bought 98% of the population to a tax rate close to the company tax rate with the ability for 2 adults in the family to keep $400k themselves.
No other companies and the complexities of keeping your money would have been cleared.
Accountants fees would be slashed.

Of course.
The foolishness of appointing an “advisory” board which effectively issues binding rulings.
My theory is that Woollies agreed to a raft of demands from Goodes, including the Yes case for da Voice, and joining the “change to date” push.
They backed off on use of their stores in da Voice campaign after an initial backlash when they tried to force Dan Murphy’s staff to wear Yes campaign slogans.
Which makes the Australia Day thing seem a very strange doubling down … until you realise that it had already been promised to Goodes.
No doubt Banduci was hoping this would slide through un-noticed.
He is learning the downside of throwing his lot in with a race-baiter like Goodes.

Son Of Bloke Killed By Stingray But With No Other Appreciable Skills News (the Courier-Mail):

Wildlife warrior Robert Irwin has threatened to renounce his US citizenship, following the Oscar snub of fellow Queenslander Margot Robbie for her role in “Barbie.”

Irwin, 20, expressed his disbelief and frustration on The Project on Wednesday night after the news broke earlier in the day that Robbie did not receive a nomination for ‘Best Actress’ for her role in ‘Barbie’ at this year’s Academy Awards.

What? This must be reversed immediately! Immediately, I say!

More drama, courtesy of Teh Project:

The conversation took a dramatic turn when co-host Waleed Aly asked if Irwin would consider renouncing his American citizenship over this perceived injustice.

“I think it only makes sense,” Irwin replied.

Irwin obtained his US citizenship through his US-born mother, Terri Irwin.

Of course he did. Irwin and his misso dressed up as Ken and Barbs for Halloween, of all things, thus pouring further fuel on the concept that Irwin should either piss off and remain in US F Grade obscurity, or do something worthwhile for his life rather than live off Dad’s estate – which was largely funded by the US market in any event.

I know I’m a victim of my pride
I belong to all that I’ve been through …

I came for miles on a broken wheel
I came to see whether love can heal
But I won’t kneel, no, I won’t kneel

22% of households who took the shots have a COVID vaccine injury

How frickin’ (avoiding saying ‘f*cking’) dare you put up such ludicrous nonsense.

Seriously folks, look at the scientific ‘rigour’ behind this.

I have to think your brain is broken, that you spend all your waking hours trawling the inertubes looking for anything the headlines of which agrees with with what you belive Cats think, and you post it as reflexively as scratching an itch rather than assayingthe truth of a point. You show absolutely no discrimination between the dodgy and the extremely dodgy. I know you understand less than 1% of what you post because if you understood even that much you would not post anything so nonsensical.

It is like you are desperate for friends and you have settled upon this explosive diorrhea of inane links as a way of ingratiating yourself with the cool kids.

For the love of God…just stop!

I promise I will honour you more for your absense than your copious gullibility.

Well, I won’t actaully honour you, but I will stop using your screen name in jokes that begin “So there was this bloke, Indolent, who stuck corn stalks up his arras because it was mentioned on Breitbart, and who…”

Just buy him a coffee.

Or ask him about the link he put up abut Disney execs being handcuffed for child-related sexual matters and laughing in the cops’ faces as they did so, telling them they’d all be freed within the hour.

And about how the site he linked to mentioned three times, at the start, beginning and end, that it was a satire site.

His behaviour mirrors good old rsrssrrss – ‘too many tabs, not enough sleep’ or ‘Army Tanks on the streets’ (a Landrover) Annie.

Immense fun, and immense sookage when you do exactly what you just did – call his Radio Rental rants what they are.

Who watched the tennis last night ? – Jelana Dockichs outfit the flared white pants and the pink blazer – she looked like an ice cream bigger than the John Martin’s Santa in Rundle Mall.

Perhaps you need to read her book. It’s an absolute miracle she can stand upright after the childhood she endured. Abuse is too kind a word for it, she was tortured and terrorised. If food feeds the demons or the added kilos make her feel safe, well, good for her.

Read it. Get back to me when you can coherently explain exactly what you would have done with an adult like Demir as a parent. She has suffered enough for several lifetimes. Her size is none of your damned business.

As evidenced by the fact that the sensational click-bait headline is usually contradicted in the second or third paragraph of the linked article.
It does no service to people who want to raise rational and supportable concerns about vaccines and other things Covid related.
Buy me a cup of coffee.

For the record:

The Daily Expose’s website address is actually a mechanic’s shop in regional Britain.

Glad I kicked off a bit of a discussion, thanks Cohen et al for longer considerations. Of course no single piece of art can have only one interpretation, even an individual’s interpretation can change over time, and be multifaceted as well.
Mine is this-
If we deliberately belittle our achievements, denigrate our inheritance, denigrate our ancestors, overthrow Australia for Sorry Serfdom, replace marriage with rainbow sex miasma, dissolve families replace enterprise with corporations, spurn history for tabloid scandal, ghettoise humans for their genetic code-
ie, let evil imbeciles cut down our poppies for spite-
-we will make a wasteland.

Economists say that if you spend more you fuel inflation, economics say that if you have a $500,000.00 mortgage you pay the banks an extra $14,000.00 a year, Tourism says come to Australia and spend your money to benefit our Economy, It’s all bullshit!! Inflation is from the cost of energy, The Global warming bulltish, stop drilling for gas and oil and do not mine coal and do not Dam rivers, it’s very frustrating, Happy Australia Day tomorrow, the true day!!

I suspect you have to the wrong address and being goaded into believing it’s correct. The Abbott imbroglio back in 2013 suggests otherwise.

A brief calculation shows that if the space between stars in a galaxy has something like a 1.5 kgm brick in a cube of 1,000 km on a side, on average, then this would account for the missing mass that is needed to explain the observed rotation rate of galaxies. There is no need for exotic matter or the various weird hypotheses of cosmologists.

This also solves the Fermi paradox. The reason the aliens aren’t here is that they set off to get here, and hit a brick on the way. At some significant fraction of the speed of light, this would be like nuking the spaceship.

Or more likely they found out about the density of random bricks and decided going was a bad idea so didn’t bother.

Do you happen to have an English version of this laying around, Tickler?

  1. I spoke to a road engineer a few years ago out Wilcannia way. He said there’s more money for repairs…

  2. Don’t celebrate yet… https://insidefmcg.com.au/2024/10/17/fenn-foods-rescued-from-liquidation-by-rival-smart-foods/ Smart Foods has acquired Fenn’s equipment, stock, and the Veef and Love Buds brand names, according…
