July 2020 to Jan 2024
The percentage rise between July 2020 and January 2024 is approximately 22.06%.
But weekly wages have also risen.
The rise for the entire period is :
It’s a loss, but not an out of this world loss. At least we can say higher management and CEOs comp has more than kept pace with inflation, which is far more important.
Renters and mortgage holders have been rooted, which is where I think there’s stress. But in any event, Dementia is getting a lot of flack, so that’s a good thing.
Annual household disposable income to Sept 2023:
Australia: -6.1%
OECD average: +1.7%
USA: +2.6%

I spent this morning at a “come and try” archery introduction. A great way to spend a Saturday morning and enough to get me to sign up for a 4 week beginners course.

Tom at 12:39 re Woollies.
Firstly, Colesworth don’t give a fat rat’s clacker about suppliers.
And normally they accept a bit of to-and-fro of customers in what is largely a duopoly. They always think they can restore market share equilibrium with saturation advertising and the bait of specials pricing.
Two things are possible here:-
1. Woollies market research tells them the boycott is sticking and customers have permanently shifted; and/or
2. They are getting massive pushback from staff via local shop stewards.
Did they stick a Granny Smith on your head?
I don’t know how that can be, Roger.
-6%
Award and mini wages were dictated upwards mid year 2023 by 5.75% and 8.7%. The drowning must be in salaries etc, and income related profits in small business. If so, them pain must be huge in that sector.

Way too many paras. Report to Mrs Stencho Pantyhose for your breeches. BTW interest rates are going higher (Long Term rates especially) as inflation has not been tamed.
Dropped a .22 hollow point onto a fox last nigjt from about 80m. Off the shoulder, scope. Sal the Bush Dog grabbed it for the coo de grah. Can’t imagine bagging it with a bow n arrow…
Nonetheless archery is great primal fun. My advice is stock up thoroughly before it’s made illegal, Ranga.
They have 215,000 people on the payroll, sent out an email, and the management was caught off guard it made its way into the media? They have to be lying. No one could be this stupid.

“Did they stick a Granny Smith on your head?”
Afraid not, no fruits allowed.
I did however manage to pop a balloon, so there’s that.
And after inflation, these rises were in fact fk all. But, the “inflation figures” we know are complete bs (vastly understated), so the nett effect is a decline in disposable income.
Typical, makes an abusive comment and not even a hour later it’s claiming the person responding is the cause.
Over or understated isn’t the point and for another discussion. Roger stated the fall off was -6%. The figure comes from somewhere.
After their Australia Day merchandise fiasco, I’m not so sure.

Walking to the local to grab a pint of Guinness I had to pass an enormous LED billboard spanning Military Rd (The Bridgepoint footbridge) where I saw an ad for some winery associating themselves to Mardi Gras.
It was a cheapish brand (I say ‘brand’ rather than ‘label’ to emphasise my contempt for their output) but wondered why they thought it a good idea. Then I remembered it would likely be a brand often sold in pubs and sleazy bars.
In fact, drinking aside I will bet there will be pallets of the stuff retrieved, at St Vincents hospital, from having been rammed into rectal rugae – within hours of penetrating perpetrators having paraded mocking the Church and and its Nuns and Priests.
Aaron
Another fan. Join the collection of clowns with JC and Sancho.
I think so.
The biggest worry for them isn’t the small group who shout at store managers.
It is the quiet shift of 5% of market share without a whimper.
As I say, they are quite OK with small market share ebbs and flows that they can advertise their way out of and/or throw some loss-leader specials at it (which they “invite suppliers to participate in” anyway).
In any case, they are spooked.
Which is good.
Thanks Roger.
You made me open the AFR account and just realized I’ve been paying for the sub and haven’t used it for yonks.
It sounds like the stress is really on the interest rate side.
Liz Truss made the cardinal error of not knowing that a large fraction of her party and the economic establishment are actually woke lefties, and considered her economic ideas heretical. Not wrong, false or impractical. Just heretical.
Truss was removed once she revealed her plan to wind back & even remove the tax shields many assets have in the UK.
The income tax cuts were all she got to in her multi stage plan.
Once the donor class got wind of her tax shield plans, she was binned pronto.
What Truss should have done once they moved against her was release the entire plan to the public.
Calm down Iodine Betty.
I think Aaron might have thought there was too much keyboard testosterone flowing last night.
He might have been right.

Quite, they were legal in SA provided u had a hunting permit, then they banned bowhunting, thus banning crossbows.

We need all of the immigrants because without them we don’t get cheap strawberries out of season.
Seriously. What happened when all the backpackers and cheap labourers had to go home during Covid? A bunch of stuff like this either vanished from the shelves or became horrendously expensive. I think I’d rather pay more for some groceries than have so many people unable to rent or buy a place.
Unlike many my age, I have never been angst-ridden about not owning the place I live in. I was always fine with renting a house in an area I wanted to live in and saving the difference between paying a mortgage (which was about $300-$400/week) until I could buy a house in an area I wanted to live in. However, early last year we needed to find a new place and I discovered the difference between rent and mortgage payments has become negligible. So I bought a house.
I’m sure a lot of people have piled into the property market for similar reasons since the immigrant spigots were opened again. This is a particularly stupid policy when we don’t have the housing supply for these people. The government knows this, yet they let them in anyway. Same thing is happening in the US and UK. Weird, that.
The issue is “Where is the money going?” Find that out and you’ll discover what the problem is.
Its evaporating due to money printing…
Just returned from local country show. What a treat. All the usual local cake/vegetable/photographic competitions in the hall – together with the fleece judging. Husband straight away bought an ingenious iron sculpture fashioned around a shovel handle!
Then ambled off the sheep dog trials on the local oval. Just love these. Most of the kelpies were sensational with amazing concentration & athleticism. But the champion was one sheep who had enough of it all & vaulted 5 feet over a black tarp!
Then grabbed a steak sandwich & coffee & walked to the sheep shearing exhibition. This was bl—ly amazing. A bloke (later told us he was 60) sheering a sheep with old fashioned BLADE SHEARS. He talked right through the exhibition about the history of shearing, the process etc etc. There was not a mark or speck of blood on the animal when he finished, & he didn’t use a sling. Later he invited questions & he said that blade shears were still used in South Africa where labour was cheap & they paid only a little more than a dollar or so a sheep. Here, he said, a good shearer with mechanical shears could shear 300 sheep a day & earn up to $1,500 a day. He talked about how long it took to maintain the blade shears etc. It was fascinating & we thanked him profusely. He said both his sons had taken up the trade.
After that we watched some “led” Australian stock horse judging & then some show jumping. Ambled off to the cattle yards to see the preparation of some special breed judging. All the kids from a local rural college were hanging about – some ready to bring a beast into the ring. Local owners great people – “Yeah – just open that gate & have a look at the cattle at the end – she’s apples” .
Back through side-show alley & was reminded by the Historical Society people on their stall nearby to join as I had promised earlier. Unfortunately, I was denied a bit of sport when I found that “the Tool” (Paul Toole) had departed from the Nationals stall before I got there. Damn!
The local town itself was absolutely parked out – there must have been a thousand cars around the town as well as in the precincts of the show. Great to see.
No drama involving a Beau, Luke and Jesse is complete without a General Lee…
I’ve only ever seen ONE display of sheep being shorn, correctly , with blades, where the blades are razor sharp, and pushed through the wool. All the others I have seen , the shears are used like a large pair of scissors, and the wool snipped off, which isn’t the way to use blades at all.
Could try a few persuasive measures on him:
Detectives will spend the weekend scouring locations in NSW for the bodies of ex-television presenter Jesse Baird and his boyfriend Luke Davies after celebrity-fanatic-turned-cop Beau Lamarre-Condon was charged with the murder of the couple.
On Friday evening, a source said Lamarre-Condon had not been cooperating with police.

Know for what’s worth I haven’t set foot in a Woolworths since the Australia Day boycott. Frankly the way the stores in Melbourne I walked past were flogging Lunar New Year I don’t regret it, albeit potentially insignificant in the scheme of things.
My mrs still uses them though so also probably moot point. That said I don’t spend a huge amount anyway, now imagine that if a sizable proportion of of my demographic being Anglo middle aged males is quietly doing same. I could see a problem showing up in the bottom line.
Personally IMO looking at that interview Badaducci was likely under pressure before he walked on ABC studio and that’s why it was such a train wreck. If it was falling sales or the backlash or both we’ll probably never know. He seems so sure and even combative about Australia Day that the saying “pride comes before the fall” comes to mind.

The implications of the Alabama precedent of zygote personhood are stupendously stupid. If you don’t understand that, you are merely ignorant. If you understand it and don’t care, you’re a sociopath.
The fascism comes from the state’s imposition of Christian values proselytised by extremist nuts like db onto the normal lives of regular citizens.
Libertarians should be appalled by the Alabama situation. They are not, as they continue to labour under the delusion that they are equal partners in an alliance with radical authoritarians.

At least Argentina appears to have woken up to itself. That is still decades away in Australia.
This ‘quantification’ problem is all in your mind. All you’re really saying is that the development of such a scale of punishment tied to the grievousness of the wrong is disputable. So what? Are you pretending that the same problem is absent when sentencing on the grounds of ‘community protection’?
How idea that the sentence for a wrong committed by a specific wrongdoer against a specific victim here ‘morphs’ into community protection is a mystery. In respect of the case that began this, the wrong committed to Jailyn is paramount and this is reflected in the idea that the punishment that is to be meted to the mother must be proportionate to that wrong. That isn’t to say that ‘community protection’ plays no part, only that this consideration is secondary and is in fact grounded in the former. Further, we are concerned with protecting the community from mothers or father that abandon/ neglect their children because they are owed the care and protection of their parents. Is this the community protection you have in mind?
Why is it worse from the point of view of ‘community protection’? Murder itself is by definition premeditated, those motives could be operative without any conspiracy, and conspiracy and murder as crimes are considered, separately, anyway.

LOL. monty can’t even refer to the embryo as an embryo but only as a ‘clump of cells’.
Oh no, the implications of treating the child in or ex utero, whether as zygote, embryo or foetus, as enjoying the protection of the law are just to terrifying to contemplate.
Yep, extending the protection of the law to all human beings whatever their stage of development is ‘fascism’.
Quick, someone get the fainting couch for monty.
The privileged, bored pseudo-feminists and academics of the West are betrayed by their ignorance. Women were kept as sex slaves by ISIS years ago. The Assad regime in Syria had killed more than 5000 women and children by 2020 and now all of sudden these ladies have discovered war? Cowards who enjoy complete sexual, social, financial, religious and political liberty are not raising voices to demand that women in the disputed territories might be free, they are raised in hatred of Israel. For Jews. For Jewish women.
The entirety of the Western left, feminists, alarmists, alphabet loons, racist ratbags, no borders, pro-palli, navel licking, virtue signalling nongs and trannie turds along with cringing, tut-tutting testicle free conservatives should be nuked.
A clump of cells in a test tube is not a baby. IVF is not murder.
The embryo holocaust is the slippery slope nature of the left personified; embryos, clumps of cells, are nothing so it is no crime to kill them. Soon, as has happened, live birth abortion (sic) happens; extant babies are left to die. Then we have assisted suicide and hierarchies of humans with left nominated victims at the top. So Jewish women raped and mutilated by hamas scum are not valued. And so.
Dickless, you a piece of shit.
Dover Beach:
Just wait until the State realises that if they have a “No Abortion” policy, and that they will provide for the mother until she gives birth then hands over the child to be raised in a State institution, then they can have the same outcome as the Young Pioneers and Hitler Youth. A politically brainwashed cohort of adults that will carry out their masters orders.
At an annualised rate of 4,000 abortions per year, it’s a eugenic dictatorships dream come true.
Good to see even m0nty objects to drag queen story hour. It’s a step in the right direction, I suppose.
Yes. The validity of such a scale is absurd when it applies to all crimes unless it also considers deterrence, societal values and so on.
No, it (conspiracy) is worse simply in a general sense because it is necessitated by premeditation. Murder, at least in NSW or at common law, does not require premeditation, it can even be constructive murder with no mens rea to killing.
The merits of retribution or deterrence are usually very convincing. I just see them as nested in the protection of the community. It is a more general argument.
It’s quite interesting. Is a single instance of constructive murder worse than multiple cases of manslaughter in the same incident?
So the court decided that given amendments to the state constitution in 2018, the public wanted legal protections extended to the child in utero, and the court here decided that the location of the child makes no meaningful difference. Nothing that I can see about ‘personhood’. And that any harm that leads to death that is caused to the child in or ex utero could involved a wrongful death claim according to state law. So, narrow in scope to begin with, but the implications are clear, which is why those that exploit the child in or ex utero for profit are screaming bloody murder. I don’t care. Cope. Seethe.

I used to be able to buy a dozen eggs for $3.00 in late 2019. Now $6.00
Can you explain each of your assertions?
This implies that Ireland was fascist before abortion was made legal, NSW is somewhat fascist and only Victoria isn’t fascist. Can you tell me how the ACT Government taking over a Catholic hospital, contrary to the Declaration of the Rights of Man, for example, is not fascist?
What about the Victorian law that now forces doctors to choose between abortions or their medical licence?
If a woman has a choice to terminate a clump of cells because of bodily integrity; then why don’t doctors have freedom of conscience?
Do you accept that forcing taxpayers to pay for other people’s abortions is a violation of their religious beliefs? If we don’t want to impose our values on each other, we shouldn’t subsidise our own exercise of legitimate rights.
I agree that life begins at conception, but I’m not sure that a zygote has the same inherent value as a foetus or even a fertilised cell that is implanted in the uterus lining. Or, at least, we apparently do not regard a zygote as being as important as a more developed embryo. If we did, would we not pour enormous resources into saving the zygotes that do not implant naturally, or into ensuring implantation occurs?
It seems that, in practice, life begins at implantation in the lining of the uterus. That is the point when people start arguing for the protection of the embryo.
Dover, I was kidding about the CEO, higher management part of the comment.
As I said, there’s stress, because wage gains haven’t compensated for both interest rate hikes and price rises. If you’re renting or have a mortgage toss a coin which one’s hurting (interest rate hikes or price increases) as nominal wages have only comped one of those.

Zulu – I am a mere woman & not too technical – but he talked about the enormous time it took to hone the blades. He also somehow disconnected them so that they did not operate entirely like scissors – there was some sort of thong that held them together – sorry if I am vague. The blades sort of sliced through the wool.

Why would it be absurd?
dot, murder involves premeditation, let’s not muddy the argument by reference to exceptions that have only be around for a minute or so. Look, no, none of these questions is particularly interesting. But since you’re asking, what are the wrong/s in each instance? The first involves a separate wrong, say theft, that inadvertently leads to death (constructive murder), while in the latter, you have acted with reckless indifference which foreseeably could involve multiple deaths or injuries to innocent parties. Which set of wrongs demands a harsher sentence to restore balance? I think both require at least 20 years without knowing anything more about each case.
But the protection of the community is nested within justice, and justice requires proportionality (retributive justice). We had a similar discussion to this over a decade ago when I turned the blow torch on the economics and law approach and its deleterious influence on compensation/ insurance.
If it’s anything like the beer market you spend years and tens of millions of dollars to gain a couple of percentage points of market share. A lot to hand back in an annual loss. No wonder he’s looking for greener pastures.

I think Branducci was under the pump from within.
I suspect he dismissed the Australia Day thing as a 48 hour wonder and assured everyone things would be back to normal toot sweet. Offer the bogans some cheap 2 litre Coca Cola and it will all be sweet again (so to speak).
Three weeks went by and, not only wasn’t there a bounceback in sales, I think the numbers were still heading South, Bud-Lite style.
Interesting that the direction not to wear slogans and tags wasn’t confined to a single issue. It covered several favourite woke issues.
Of course, this will now have backlash to the backlash. The activists will scream that Woollies are oppressing minorities, which is why they should stay out of this shit in the first place.
The new CEO should tell all employees …
“Focus on our real customers (who aren’t interested in this woke shit) and our suppliers and employees. And, as far as that goes, I am only interested in the wellbeing of employees whilst they work in our stores. We are not responsible for giving a platform for their personal hobby-horses.”
JC — A quick question for you. I am in the midst of setting an assignment for my students. Last year, they had to write a report on the inflation measures used by policy makers. They more used to plugging numbers into a formula; their knowledge about the measures is rather limited.
This year I am leaning toward them doing some analysis on exchange rates. You think some thing related to interest rates (or BOP numbers) worth doing?

Sure, I think having them study and understand something like the relationship (if there is one 🙂 ) between exchange rates and PPP would be good. A good way of showing them how it works and getting a better idea of PPP at the basic level would be the good old Economist’s MacDonald’s Hamburger index. The Economist gives a reasonable account of why they have been reporting it since the mid 80s.
What drives exchange rates is really difficult to explain because exchange rates are a relative value measure and that’s always changing.

I’ve heard this argument before in relation to abortion. Do we know how much is actually devoted to this to be able to say that not much is actually devoted? Also, doesn’t IVF require a lot of this research given the problem with implantation in IVF? Further, the problem so far as I’m concerned here is with human action, not so much with what occurs in the natural course of life. And the problem with the transition from fertilization to implantation is really the same problem re the child in its earliest stages after implantation; it is very fragile and subject to miscarriage until later in the pregnancy. Moreover, if we spend more on entertainment collectively than we do on preventing both, it probably says more about us collectively, than it does about the ‘value’ of the child pre-or post-implantation.

Fatboy, where are you seeing this slaughter as it’s not evident in the numbers.
mOron, WAPol investigated the Bishop and didn’t press charges. It was only after a Church investigation later , the results of which were handed over to the plod, that charges were re-instated. It was the Church’s efforts that brought charges against that retired Bishop. I’ll wager he was a homo before he allegedly became a p#do.
Someone posted here the other day Planned Parenthood running presentations selling dead baby parts. The remnants generating their income from in-utero murder. Only a deviant fat freak like you could giggle with glee supporting this horror.
What have you got against Mooslime men, you waycisst pig?
Say what you like about m0nty, but he is actually a member of a very elite group, being one of Rachel Maddow’s 39 viewers.
That’s the right way, then.
This has been done to death.
A capital account surplus is a current account deficit. Any FDI into Australia is a current account “deficit”. FPI is treated the same for accounting purposes and also funds a lot of our MBS lending. FDI has been critical in our development and capital intensity and hence wages growth. Any sustainable CAD is funded out of productivity gains.
Countries follow an investment development path. It is related to the product cycle path of production and trade. Australia invests heavily in retail, banking and infrastructure overseas. There are vertical and horizontal integration reasons for doing so.
The balance of trade is nested in the balance of payments.
The BOP mattered when we had gold reserves, except the internal price mechanism pre-WWI worked very well, just as our floating rates do now, but only indirectly against non-tradeables.
Acknowledging FDI exists at all makes the arguments of neoprotectionists like Paul Craig Roberts about the inability to trade endowments totally invalid.
There are some old theories about outward FDI being GDP and wage negative but they ignore issues like diminishing marginal returns, dynamics, the trade in endowments and cases of vertical and horizontal integration need to be examined separately.
McKinsey & Co
Wow just read about these guys, colourful company so to speak…
This is that clown Chris Bowen’s slagging of the potential of small nuclear reactors in today’s OZ. How about an onslaught of opposing argument in “Letters” on Monday??
Opponents of cleaner, cheaper renewables have used a particularly spectacular contortion of logic to claim the recent catastrophic storms in Victoria and the resulting power outages as evidence of the folly of acting on climate change and boosting renewables.
Predictably, nuclear energy advocates seized on the Victorian events and temporary power outage to re-energise their campaign for Australia to start a nuclear energy industry.
Let’s be clear upfront. Nuclear is not being pushed as a genuine alternative to renewables. It’s being used as a distraction and a delaying tactic.
It’s also quite the feat to assert that had it been nuclear rather than renewables, a coal-fired electricity generator in Victoria wouldn’t have shut itself down as protection against surges from storm-damaged transmission. It’s an even greater leap essentially to assert that a grid under the LNP would involve no distribution – given the vast majority of outages were caused by extreme damage to the distribution network – including from the half a million lightning strikes in eight hours.
Will nuclear powered electricity be transmitted by osmosis? By Bluetooth? By a vibe? Whether your energy comes from coal, nuclear, gas or renewables, if poles and wires are down, electricity won’t get where it needs to go.
The pro-nuclear argument is two-pronged. That the world has realised the perils of renewables and is experiencing a nuclear renaissance, and Australia is missing out.
READ MORE: Nuclear option made easy by the renewables miscue | ‘Engagement’ a lost cause: regions fed up with green fantasy | Anti-renewable rally calls on Nats to ditch net zero | Rival power plays ignite Canberra energy wars | Shift to renewable power is far from fit for purpose |
And that nuclear is much cheaper than renewable energy, once upgrading and expanding the grid is factored in.
Both these arguments collapse faster than a tree in a lightning strike when exposed to the facts.
Global investment in renewable energy sources constitutes three quarters of all power generation investment.
Take just solar, for example. Last year, the world installed 440GW of renewable capacity. This is more than the world’s entire existing nuclear capacity built up through decades of investment. By early 2025, renewable energy will surpass coal as the planet’s largest source of energy, while coal, gas and nuclear will all shrink their market share.
Nuclear and coal combined, however, account for only 16 per cent of new global power investment. In 2005, electricity companies in the US pledged to build more than 30 reactors. Only four ever commenced construction. Two were abandoned due to massive cost and time delays.
The alleged boom in Small Modular Reactors is also a mirage. China and Russia are the only two countries to have installed them. The US has now abandoned its “flagship” commercial-scale pilot SMR (promised back in 2008), wearing 70 per cent cost blowouts without having started construction on a single reactor.
We know the Russian SMRs have extraordinarily low load factors and that nuclear waste from the SMR process is disproportionate to their output. The Chinese data is more opaque, but given SMRs generate about 300MW (compared to a coal-fired power station at 2000MW), we have no reason to believe there is anything approaching a serious contribution to China’s energy demand from their two units.
My shadow minister predicted that last year’s Dubai COP would be remembered as the “nuclear COP”. Not so much. Twenty three countries have pledged to triple nuclear energy by 2050, while 124 countries pledged to triple renewable energy investment within the next six years, before the nuclear dream even gets started.
Then there is cost. Contrary to myth, GenCost does include the cost of transmission and storage, and the CSIRO-AEMO GenCost conclusions about the chasm between nuclear and renewables costs could not be clearer.
But if you don’t want to accept eminent and independent practitioners at those organisations, then you can have a look at the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists, which estimates it will cost $US15 trillion to triple nuclear capacity. Or University College London, which recently found that “new nuclear capacity is only cost-effective if ambitious cost and construction times are assumed”.
And if you don’t like University College London’s research, ask the merchant bank Lazard, which shows levelised cost of nuclear to be four times higher than utility-scale solar and wind.
Then look at how many nuclear projects are falling over because of cost and time overruns. The UK’s Hinkley C nuclear plant was promised to be “cooking Christmas turkeys by 2017”. It’s yet to warm a single drumstick, with latest costings at more than $86bn. Who in Australia does the opposition energy spokesman expect will be footing those kind of bills?
Like many things in the climate debate, the push for nuclear power has taken on a singular importance in the culture wars. It’s striking that a party that once prided itself on economic rationalism could embrace a frolic so spectacularly uneconomic. This is the triumph of culture wars over climate pragmatism in the alternative government.
The LNP has been promising to reveal the details of its long nuclear fairytales soon. It can’t come soon enough.
No plan for nuclear power in Australia will survive contact with reality. The Australian people deserve more than hot air to power their homes and businesses.
Chris Bowen is the Minister for Climate Change and Energy.

Excellent.
They make a great addition to the list. Must give them a call.
Does he use Hunter (of the nine-inch Hog) as his surrogate?
JC,
Thanks! We do all of the things you mention. PPP and its variants, IRP, IFE etc.
This, I like. They are being introduced to BOP this week. Get them to write about trade deficits. Compare the trend Australia vs. US etc.
They don’t get to work with data or most don’t know where to look.
The House is a complete shemozzle under Mike Johnson. It has achieved nothing at all, and is heading for a government shutdown leading into an election, which is always a huge vote loser for the GOP.

A few years ago I happened to be in Sydney (for professional work purposes I hasten to add) on the night of the sodomy fest. At one point it fell to me to make sure a drunken colleague got home safely to his place in Darlingurst. On the way there were bizarre sights of decadence in the local streets. One thing I can’t unsee to this day was a burly hairy chap clad only in a pink tutu bent over vomiting in the gutter.
At least there wasn’t another chap standing behind him with his pants down.
Bulk uppies for that comment, cohenite. 🙂
Chris Bowen once again insults farmers and the bush by not mentioning at all the land hungry nature of renewables.
We are going to teach him a lesson.
Lots of articles so far about the cop who killed (allegedly).
However not seen one that questions the issue of how able to take home gun.
According to something Michael Smith News put up he had a previous incident when took gun home.
Crickets from the media on this issue.
There’s an app called Veebs which allows consumers to scan goods to see if the manufacturers are pushing political agendas. Anybody know if it works in Australia?
So what distinguishes murder from manslaughter if not the absence of mens rea?
Yes, it becomes more difficult precisely because their the extremities.
I suggest you use them as an accompaniment to traditional understanding of torts and not as a substitute for reasons people like Ernest Weinrib have outlined.
I feel like I’ve been to a health spa. Hearing the lamentations of monty is rejuvenating.
Yikes – there are commenters here unrepentantly purveying “economic concepts”. 😕
I’m sorry. I did have a notorious bully for admin law & jurisprudence. He really was good but he did like bouncing people and I was glad I wasn’t there in person.
Rockdoctor mentioned his Woolies boycott.
I am still boycotting them and can’t see a reason to go back.
I would like to think it is having an effect and look forward to seeing it being mentioned in a future earnings report..
Great header painting dover0beach.

The Elbow regime doesn’t represent anyone — least of all the Australian working class, fewer than 10% of which are now union members (because they figured out that unions no longer represent them).
The Elbow regime is an activist organisation bred in splendid isolation from workers, surviving on Paul Keating’s superannuation sugar hit, which has removed unions’ need to have members.

err, Rog, you’re best taking any OECD “data” with a container load of salt. If the figures above do actually bear any passing resemblance to reality (accidentally or coincidentally) then we all might like to think that albozo’s circus troupe has some explaining to do.
But yeah, perhaps not. Illogical, incomprehensible gibberish in excelsis, leavened with much cow dung is their forte.
Dot,
We’ve had 44 years of current account deficits. During that time:
1) All volume manufacturing has left these shores, leaving us without critical mass.
2) Chink manufactured share of durable goods approaches 87%
3) Real estate prices pushed stratospheric by aforementioned chinks.
4) Price of telecommunications and energy increasing faster than inflation, not declining which you’d expect due to technology improvements.
5) Faggots and trannys everywhere.
6) Massive increase in abo worship.
Explain again how current account deficits have been good for Australia.
Anyone got a link to Ice Age Watch site: fuking google swallowed mine.
Dover I’d compare for example how murder and manslaughter are defined in NSW vs QLD as a start.
I more or less agree with what you’re saying other than which concept is the overriding one.
Torts have always been considered in economic terms and virtually every tort can be liquidated as damages, even if there are and were orders for specific property to be returned.
(The real problem with insurance is the totally bizarre “under-insurance” rule).
You are one sick puppy.
Breaking Nooze: Two extremely extreme right wing individuals identifying as “Economists” have led a populist putsch against the monstrous collectivist vegetables rapidly delivering Australia into third world sh*thole status.
Sky Nooze presents a pair of exclusively exclusive interviews with these two populist renegades, known only by their online monikers, “Pol Dot” and “Rabz”.
Tune in at 8:00pm tomorrow evening and prepare to be horrified. Adult concepts such as “individual responsibility” will be both examined and purveyed. You have been warned, viewers. 🙂
Barry, like the Greens, Dot is a libertarian who gets to wish a pox on the major parties, knowing he’ll never have the responsibility of government, which ensures endless dinner parties where he’s the smartest man in the room.
You have a far different outlook when you have to actually deliver policy.

Nice summary Top Ender.
Picked up a copy of the Spectator at the Newsagent yesterday but haven’t got around to reading it yet.
What db is actually celebrating is women being subjugated, impoverished and dying of treatable illnesses. That stuff gets him excited.
Yep, it’s over. Buying my groceries elsewhere actually hasn’t been that difficult.
My local woolies is a dank filthy cesspit, so making the decision to boycott them was very simple – and should have happened many moons ago.
BTW, Cats – BWS is also woolies, so give them the flick as well.
In other words, mUttley is claiming that Doves is a moozley.
Monty’s studied at the Cathy Newman school of debating.
Some points.
First, I have seen no evidence that Dover is a Mooslime, so the subjugation claim is over the top.
Second, in what way is Dover advocating for women to be impoverished? Delivering a healthy baby? If only your mother had known what to do.
Third, mUnty seems to be suggesting that pregnancy is a “treatable illness”. Again, if only his mother had got treatment.
Telling it like it is.
I suspect Coles is just as odious in its practices as Woolworths but it has a CEO (ex McKinsey & Co.) who is adept at staying out of the news cycle.
I’m certain of it and don’t forget Coles’s agitprop for Anal’s attempted coup. That said, I’ve disliked Woolworths for decades after having to do jobs at their outlets around Sydney. I found their managers to be seriously nasty people while Coles ones weren’t too bad. Anyway, another reason not to shop at Woolies. I like Foodworks and IGA myself.
“As if “Queers for Palestine” wasn’t enough of a self-parody, keffiyeh-donning gay activists in Seattle have declared a “homosexual intifada.”
After another pro-Hamas/anti-Israel march and rally that took over city streets that Seattle mayor Bruce Harrell ceded, the extremists plastered their signage around downtown Seattle. That’s when we started seeing a new flyer showing two men with faces covered with keffiyeh while embracing in a kiss. The pink-hued message says “Homo-sexual Intifada” in all caps.
Seattle’s homosexual intifada flyer is a stark oxymoron as brazen as it is ignorant. It signals LGBT Seattle activists are willing to become more violent in support of a terrorist organization that would order them tossed from the highest rooftop the moment they accuse someone of misgendering them.”
What if we cannot? Speaking rural here.
Next suggestion? Travelling 100’s of klms to eliminate BWS purchases? Unlikely to happen but a good thought nonetheless.
oops, forgot to add, my previous post was via Ace.
1. Manufacturing, such as Fisher and Paykel, moved back to New Zealand because of payroll taxes. It’s in the report the PC wrote in the 1990s.
2. Share of what? Imports of durable goods? They’re a $17 trillion economy and make mid-tier technology goods. Was it an issue that 100% of our early FDI was from one country, GB? Is it an issue that most chemical laboratory stuff comes from Germany, Switzerland and the USA?
3. This is almost entirely the fault of other parties. Firstly, taxes on new dwelling construction are over 40% – and up to 46% – this constricts supply as the tax RATE on new dwelling construction is therefore 66% to 85%. Can you name ANY other asset class taxed so heavily? Secondly, look at inflation. From April 2020 to now, M0 (currency) growth has grown from 115 bn AUD to 460 bn AUD (roughly). Median Sydney prices have gone up 22%. In 2011 to 2015, off the back off easy credit post GFC and intentional fiscal policy caused inflation, median Sydney house prices moved from 650,000 to 950,000. How many Chinese buyers are there really?
4. How has this got anything to do with the CAD when we have intentionally expensive “Green” power? We had the NBN idiocy, which set us back to the 1980s and dealing with a carbon copy of Telecom Australia. The balance of trade or BOP do not matter here.
5. Um? There are enough gays in Sydney to keep the West supplied for all time. The Eora people may have invented homosexuality for all we know.
6. Um? How TF is it the fault of Shell PLC or Astra Zeneca? The Eora people may have invented 98 RON fuel and Rhinocourt for all we know.

Boycotts are fine as long as you’re not cutting off your nose to spite your face, so to speak.
Collectivism is not a “treatable illness”.

Trust me on this, Cats.
Muslims make up 1% of the population there.

They’re not doing this in Tehran (~> 99% Muslim), let alone Minneapolis (5% Muslim).

Yale University to return to standardised admissions tests, following Dartmouth and MIT, after dispensing with them during covid.
Woolworths own about 10% of Endeavour Group (owner of BWS and Dan Murphy). My family have not shopped at Woolies since they showed how proud they were of their contempt for Australia. CEO gone but that not enough for me. I still feed the BWS and Dan cash registers though.
Thanks JMH, you patronising pratt.
Since the Woolies Australia Day debacle, I reckon this household has cut Woolies spend by around 60-70% and going lower where possible. If we can get a similar item elsewhere closeby (IGA) within 10%, it’s off the Woolies list. No more meat, fish, veges, poultry, grog, bread from Woolies. Not really cutting our noses but inflicting max pain where we can.
And with every shop, cheerily letting the Woolies check out know how well the reduced Woolies spend is going and why. ” Sorry love, but I’m not going to spend more than is necessary with a company that so openly dislikes Australia”. (Stunned mullet).

Reading “The Commando – The Life and Death of Cameron Baird, V.C., M.G.” by Ben McKelvey.
“It was during this mission, one commando told me, that the unit learned about the moral difficulties of fighting in Afghanistan. This man described spotting, in his gunsights, a child of 10 or 11 who was ferrying rounds to an insurgent mortar team. After firing warning shots at the boy’s feet and over his head, the commando had to aim mid chest. “I was f—ed up, but that was the job, he said. “If it was them or my mates, it was always going to be them.” Page 125.
I wonder what Chris Masters, and the howler monkeys of the press would make of that?
Laughing out loud at the media activists, politicians and the rest of the hysterics warning us that next Wednesday in Victoria will be climate armageddon.
The Bureau of Mythology is predicting that on the second-last day of the summer that never was, it will reach — gasp! — 36C.
PS: Southern Victoria hasn’t had a day above 40C — the heatwaves of previous generations — for at least a decade.
Melton is in my mind Melbourne’s answer to Campbelltown but it’s still in the old 03 phone zone. It goes from houso horror to very nice new suburbs- one I had only heard of recently- Weir Views.
Brookfield, Kurunjang, Harkness, Cobblebank- huge place. Quite amazing.
Dot.
TLDR.
It’s everyone else’s fault.
Economists cling to their pet theories even after they become absurd. It’s absurd that you can see no connection between rampant foreign investment and the destruction of Australia as a going concern.
Comparing living in the 60s and 70s to today – we are living in a dystopia. This place is a shthole compared to when I was a kid. And it’s all the fault of economist puritans just like you, buddy.
Ffs. Blaming Colesworths is the biggest distraction squirrel since the Russian satellite nuke.
Anyone falling for it should log off, never comment again and live a penitent life of shame.
The cause of this is governments soending money.
(Also, no sympathy at all for Colesworth suppliers. They crawled over the carcasses of their fellow suppliers to sup on that sweet, sweet volume. Well guess what? There’s no free lunch and you’re in that position at the expense of other suppliers.)

Try this one on for size, Vicki.
The modular series nukes could be put in the same footprint as the coal fired plants. No new lines to be erected, no food acres need to be ruined.
Why won’t they do it?
Because then the micro nuclear plants would be in the cities where NIMBYism reigns supreme.
Eynesbury is a lovely estate too-build around the old bluestone homestead. Rather good except for the preponderance of eucalypts.

“The privileged, bored pseudo-feminists and academics of the West are betrayed by their ignorance. Women were kept as sex slaves by ISIS years ago. The Assad regime in Syria had killed more than 5000 women and children by 2020 and now all of sudden these ladies have discovered war? Cowards who enjoy complete sexual, social, financial, religious and political liberty are not raising voices to demand that women in the disputed territories might be free, they are raised in hatred of Israel. For Jews. For Jewish women.”
Once folk understand the prime directive of the “livestock fanciers, / head-loppers”, stuff might make sense.
Neither has my region, n/w of you. Yet, I note with amusement, the BoM temp fiddling day in an day out.
They, the Climateers at BoM think the fix is in. It’s not. Never forget and never forgive.
Yeah, it was pretty obvious. Blaming them for gouging while increasing their electricity costs massively, making refrigerants ridiculously expensive because of mythical global warming impact, and raping farmers with crazy regulations, then expecting the poor farmers not to pass the cost on to Colesworths? I wonder what their IR laws are going to do to the casuals they employ?
Oh and Albo is now fleeing courageously from his $275 electricity savings promise. Sir Robin was a hero compared to this guy.
