Definitely weekend shift ATM at News Corpse. Some clown who moonlights with AP Newswire among other stories is beating the drum for ex Cyclone Lincoln as well as normal wet season events near Tully of all places, 200m they were expecting today is around 5% of annual mean. Not overly unusual for Nov-Apr.
Then ex Cyclone Lincoln never got going again and currently sits at 1000mb well below cyclone threshold in seas too cold for formation. In fact these sorts of systems have what’s known as an extratropical low transition to become something more akin to a east coast low. I honestly wouldn’t be surprised ex Lincoln misses WA all together to meander out into the Indian Ocean before washing out or being absorbed into the lower hemisphere weather patterns.
Today was a nice day in Victoria after a cold start, tomorrow off to Shep to stock up on the damaged stock from SPC to take back to Qld. Sad to say Campbells as I find out today has closed up it’s outlet at Lemnos. Tomorrow looks equally as pleasant weatherwise.
The idea that the current account deficit or trade deficit is to blame for woe is really laughable.
1960 recession BOP near zero.
1991 recession, CAD, with a trade surplus.
1964 and 1967 in CAS, as were the early Whitlam regime.
As far as I could reasonably quickly fetch the data, Australia has had a persistent, near permanent CAD since the late 1950s – the real exception being the COVID lockdowns.

Good job, TE…
Thank you, Dot.
Here’s another example of the “underage bimbos” I’m prone to lusting after … 🙂
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.
This is the sort of bloke the ATO is crying out for.

JC I hope you were just extracting the micturition with that comment.
That is slanderous and quite uncalled for. I’ve been following Rabz’s comments forever and not once has he posted anything untoward.
There are some here who have lauded underage exploitation. Perhaps you should direct your condemnation to them.

On the face of it, driving through, Campbelltown appeared to be a well manicured, attractive place.
Some of the outlying suburbs weren’t too flash though. I had relatives living in Airds, Bradbury and later Rosemeadow (The later was nicknamed Roseghetto). The pub just up from Macarthur Square from a NSW Cop I used to know was one of the roughest in Sydney at one stage. Grandmother was at Leumeah after she was moved on from Green Valley which also wasn’t flash. Even my aunties who lived there were very protective of us when we visited. Most of my cousins turned out alright though, only one black sheep.
From what I know from rellies, most of the HC clientele have been moved on and ghettos like Airds are being demolished bit by bit. Last rellie who is still in Airds has been told her & husband will be relocated within 2 years. Probably why is seems different to it’s rep. Most of my cousins own their own houses in Camden now after doing trades.

Quite so.

You must have nodded off for about three months.
I am not suggesting you have VD, but it can impact the powers of accurate recall.
Via Ace,
“Minnesota declared itself a “trans sanctuary” that would sever the parental bonds of authority over children, if children ran away to Minnesota seeking genital amputation against the wishes of their parents.
Now Big Mutilation is rolling in money– the clinics are cutting and chopping night and day, and still can’t keep up with demand.
During the last legislative session, Minnesota declared itself a “trans refuge” state, inviting children from around the country to travel to the state to get “gender-affirming care” here if they were no longer able to get treatment to medically transition in their home state.
The law was specifically targeted to get children to come to Minnesota for treatments including hormones and surgery.
Minnesota Democrats placed this law near the top of their legislative agenda, and were over the moon when they managed to get the bill passed.
There was no question in anybody’s mind that this would result in a substantial expansion of the client base for clinics and doctors that provide this care. That was the whole point–to bring children here to get the care “they need.”
Regardless of what you think of the morality of what they did–this law would allow adults to violate court orders and custody rights established in other states–it was not just predictable but also the entire point was to dramatically expand the patient pool in the state.
Well, it happened, and in a big way.
And now the butcher shops “struggle” to keep up with demand. Hit the link for The Rest of the Story.”
Here’s the link.
The words do not exist to describe these foul creatures.
Angry uncle is angry, and not just unhappy with the carpet in the host’s lounge this time.
This actually reminds me of someone on exCat who railed against anyone complimenting a very much adult supermodel (Emily somebody) as being ‘obsessed with prepubescent girls’. That particular someone was also mocked, and rightly so as well.
As mentioned just above, put your evidence up or pull your screamy little pinhead in.

Roger, thank you for asking.
Fortunately, a prayer and a wind change saw the fire recede from Beaufort and travel northwards. Of course, this put other communities in danger, requiring more prayers. According to ABC updates, three homes have been lost in the area, but conditions have abated temporarily, with more heat, wind and dry lightning expected Wednesday and Thursday.
I’ve spoken to brother several times throughout it all. He said many hospital patients and allied residents were shaken by it all, but they are being moved back today and tomorrow.
There were a thousand CFA volunteers and 23 air support involved. The very best of community service.
Very ghey.

Thanks Delta. I expected more from you with regard to backing up a statement. I was wrong.
I assume it was a brightly coloured cocktail with a paper umbrella in it.
Thanks for the update, Delta.
I was quite touched by his story & when I read an account of an older gent in Beaufort who stayed to defend his property and was later taken to the hospital by a neighbour who evacuated but went back to check on him I did wonder. I’m not familiar with that part of the world but there seem to be some good people down there.
On that positive note, good night!
Glad you like Ncl music Rabz! Here is some more Novocastrian music stuff:

Yes, Roger, there are some lovely people living there. Many of the townsfolk knew of his tragedies, particularly after his son’s death, but he had become quite reclusive by then and people were not sure how to – or if they should – approach him. Some did, though, particularly his neighbour who would barge in and demand that he come over for dinner now and then.
Like the gentleman in your post, Brother would have been out driving the water truck – ‘his job’ in the Beaufort brigade – if the hospital had allowed him to go. An extraordinary man.
JMH MIA.
Hmmmm.
I was having a general chat about the weather with one of the neighbours this afternoon when he changed the topic and said-
How can Peter Dutton be worth $300M on a MP’s salary? Surely there is corruption somewhere.
I said where did you hear that?
He didn’t know but read it somewhere.
I googled it and on a bunch of websites, I had never heard of plus the Beetoota Advocate it came up several times.
I explained to him that the BA was a satire and the others were probably Green disinformation and PD is probably worth $10-15M.
This gave me an opportunity to declaim on the variously corrupt Labor politicians and the seriously screwed insider trading rules for US politicians.
He is a retired pilot, lefty( campaigned for Chicken girl here in Warringah) and despite that a very nice neighbour but clearly lacking critical thinking skills. There must be thousands of such naive people out there in our electorate and millions across Australia.
BTW anyone know what Peter Dutton’s net worth really is?
. It was a dreadful scandal, many of the Italians in that motley group of impoverished people were from the Brugnera area on the Livenza River.
Coming from northern NSW near the New Italy area I’d heard stories in my childhood about how there came to be a New Italy. Visiting Italy for the first time in 2008 we stayed at a agriturismo in my mother’s village which in fact was run by the daughter of my mother’s first cousin. On the coffee table was a book about the story of what had befallen those Italians who’d been duped by that bounder Marquis de Rays — desperate people duped by an aristocratic cad.

“ might have been the street the Mosman Amphibian aka Bunyon grew up in, She’s from Campbelltown you know.”
and Tinta,
she dined out on that bon mot for decades. Never failed to remind anyone who was within breathing distance. That, and the fact that SHE went through to year 12. bluuurrrk.
As much as I dislike Ita these days, I have to give her credit when it’s due, Ita started as a cadet with Packer at age fifteen. Unfortunately, Ita and Amphibian both, have forgotten their roots.
As for Campbelltown, it was never as bad as made out. When it developed it’s fearsome reputation, it was still mainly a rural outpost. As with most Housing Commission developments, they were built in pockets amongst market gardens and bush. As mentioned by another commenter above, the various burbs, Claymore was the worst. The residents of these areas were never encouraged to buy their homes. There are third and fourth generation welfare residents living there. It literally was a place where they sent the people they believed had no hope of amounting to
anything. A whitey’s version of the block in Redfern where they dumped the Abo’s that didn’t want to live outback, but also didn’t want to go to school or work.
I was a Valley Girl for ten years. My parents bought our house. The funny and sad thing is, my family moved into our house at Busby, twenty years after the War and our neighbours on one side were Aussies, very kind to us, the other side, Krauts.
By the way, our Aussie neighbours had a concrete Abo and his lubra in the front yard.
Lol. The Krauts were renters and bludgers.
Also, let’s not forget those other areas of brotherly love, Doonside and Mt Druitt. Hah.
How can Peter Dutton be worth $300M on a MP’s salary? Surely there is corruption somewhere.
Does he have an opinion on Neville Wran?
Some fantastic property transactions.

I can’t do the ABC, not ours anyway. I can do this ABC but:

Teaching local community groups how to compost!
She went a long way from her roots and on the way became the vile elitist we know and loathe
No, BoN, they aren’t. I caught up with Timbo recently (who’s a sad shadow of his former self thanks to MS) and he was very scathing about contemporary Ozzie “comedy” – “depressing and boring”, he stated.
As for DAAS on the ALPBC, that’s why I’ve recently been posting their film clips from the big gig (circa 1989-90).
“Do you like hippees?
Do you trust hippees?
Do you want them near you kiddies?
Have you ever been a member of the communist pardee?”
Such heresy would not be allowed nowadays, but that’s missing the point.
DAAS were collectivists pretending to be iconoclastic extreme right wingers.
They did it so well, that “Dead Elvis” and “I wanna spill the blood of a hippee” remain two of my favourite Ozzie songs of all time.
Then there was this li’l instrumental …

I believe Duttons wife runs a number of children care centres. Can be a very lucrative business. Have mer her a few times and she’s very friendly and their boys polite and well mannered.
He was always business and was often shadowed by the AFP due to threats received…which would tend to take the floss of your day.
A quite passable version of the other Ozzie National Anthem. 🙂
Tinta,
the reason I asked about Tobacco farmers, in the mid eighties, I met a lovely woman who lived up the road from me, I lived in a rural area of five acre lots. She was an Aussie who had married an Italian Tobacco farmer against her family’s wishes.
We got on so well, she treated me like a daughter.
It would have been awesome if you were in some way related to her. Not that it would make a difference knowing you aren’t. You are great anyway. 😀
Yes foreign funded GetUp was out to get Dutton. Means there must be something good about him. I’m not sure that much good comes out of the USA anymore.
Rabz,
Throw your Arms Around Me was one of the songs I had at Mum’s funeral. The Hunters and Collectors version. That is my favourite.
Also, In the Arms of an Angel, by Sarah Maclachlan.
Still become teary when I listen to either one. sniff…
Yes I’m sad about that Rabz, but I carefully checked them all out and all three are still plugged into the lefty socket, even Tim. I wish it were otherwise. Maybe he’s been on the red pills more recently. Privately at least. On the other hand I suppose that’s how you have to be to work these days, at least in this country. Shit of a situation, and I know since I have family who had to work in that wretched space.
I’m fed up with woke so here’s Flash Gordon.

I wouldn’t go so far as to say db was Islamic. His credo does share some similarities. Women in about the same place.
A better fit is those charismatic Protestant ministries in America. They have no essential substance to them, which is why they are such fervent Trump supporters. Religion, for these psychos, is a thin veneer over authoritarian nationalism. They don’t believe in democracy or the rule of law. Neither does db. Only power matters.

Enthusiastically.
Trump gets a lot of criticism here. You have this place confused with Free Republic!
I hardly think people here can be called nationalists.
I know DB believes in the rule of law, we had a discussion about what the overriding principle in criminal sentencing is today. If there’s no rule of law, there’s no need for a jurisprudential framework.
Does democracy get criticised here? Yes, it does. Does anyone want anything inherently anti-democratic? No. The worst is they want a monarchy or republican checks or balances like recall elections.
I’ve never seen DB write anything sympathetic to fascism or power for power’s sake. I would call him a distributist. If you believe in subsidiarity (and the Western framework for the rule of law that goes back to Aquinas) it’s hard to be fascist.
No. Impossible.
Song Two
Tender – Oh my underage bimbage …
A bit of fine Aussie music I just came across, which you won’t find in their discography or the wiki for the movie it was written for.
Single Gun Theory – Illusion (2000)
A slight digression, but this was about four years before the Germans claimed Kaiser Wilhelm’s Land, New Britain [not so named at the time of course], and various other islands; including (I think?) what is now known as New Ireland.
This annexation caused a bit of a panic in Australia at the time I believe. In September of 1914, an Aussie Naval and Military force seized these same German possessions after a brief exchange of musketry.

Ha, BoN – a BLPBC studio, no doubt.
Pogria – I’ve never seen Flesh Gordon… 😀
Flash Gordon is wonderfully camp, and the Queen soundtrack is really good. I had it on vinyl when I was at uni. Anything with both Topol and Max von Sydow in it is going to be watchable.
I can’t think of a SF movie theme that fits as a suitable riposte, so I go with one from a TV show instead.
Firefly Opening Theme (2002)
I was looking for Dido on you tube as another great female singer and found an added bonus! David Boreanaz in her film clip. mmmmmmmmmmmmm

Dickless slimes in. The religious folk who support Trump are the essence of basic democracy because like black churches they are grass-roots operations but unlike the black churches are more politically discriminating and not tribalised.
Now FOAD you shit-stain.
Most of them are despicable but Pastor Alex is a riot. He argues that satellites are blocking prayers going to God and stop angels from helping us. When I first read about it I thought it was a joke but no …
https://www.reddit.com/r/atheism/comments/18goyv1/okay_this_loon_thinks_satellites_interfere_with/
There is even a FB group: Christians against satellites.
A single loon is neither here nor there. Much more concerning is a 2019 Gallup Poll which found 40% of USA citizens embrace creationism. Framing of the question makes a difference, dropping to 18% in some framings. That is still far too high.
When it is stated by their preferred oracle people can believe the strangest things. There’s not much we can do about that. It’s sad and scary to recognize that so many people can be so easily deceived.
Well you know, these tempty li’l bimbages that we don’t talk about, I tells ya! 😕
Bruce of N,
you REALLY need to see Flesh Gordon. Then you will know what I meant when I quoted, “ooh, it’s a nice likeness!”.
Watching Brian Blessed galloping around in leather jocks and wings made the movie worth watching. 😀
I love revisiting a lot of the stuff I watched, or missed, when I was teens or twenties. I recently found a copy of “Sword of Honour”, in an op-shop. I was never able to see it when it actually was on television, so I binge watched it over the last couple of days.
Forgot what a spunk Andrew Clarke was. 😀
Through this DVD, I have come across a mob that sells heaps of early series and movies, especially Oz ones. I am going to order Cash & Co and Tandarra. I haven’t seen them since the seventies! They also have the complete series of Monkey!

The founding event of modern conservatism was the French Revolution. They side with the King against the commoners every time.
You may protest that the commoners are with you now… no they are not. Trump’s base is the petit bourgeoisie, not the proles.
You gotta burn to shine Pogria, it’s the memo.

Sick of You – CAKE (2010)
Thus spake a truly preposterous collectivist, who is so out of touch he doesn’t even realise his marxist cliches are passé.

FFS, just let me into that guitar cathedral, god, if you finally want me to acknowledge your existence. 🙂
You know you want to!
excellent behaviour !
I think it’s becoming clearer what the recent rotation of the political axis is heading towards.
During the Cold War, the argument was teleological morality (old Left) vs nomological morality (old Right). The Right won that on the empirical result that showed good means produced good ends.
Where we are heading seems to be Moral Relativism (new Left) vs Objective Morality (new Right). Moral Relativism really only works as a descriptive principle. I don’t think this is a position that would survive long without the present grip on Academia and the mainstream media that it has.
M0nty seems to want to fight on the old battleground; and the Left generally seems to want to fight the rotation itself. The main tactic here seems to be increased political polarisation. Effecting this polarisation by attacking those who promote compromises (e.g. JK Rowling on trans issues) is going to be a losing strategy long term.
Because embryos are classed as human beings? Nuts. But if you’re suggesting I’m cheering the premise being established and its implications for abortion. Sure. Nevertheless, the idea that this means women will be subjugated, impoverished and die of treatable diseases is, again, nuts. You might as well say that the protections afforded to children between 0-18 years of age subjugate and impoverish their parents too. Further, since I’ve always defended the right of the mother to medical care where the condition is serious even if the treatment may incidental harm or kill the child, your statement is therefore also a lie.
Rabz is well known for three things:
1. A talent for vituperation normally exercised against the parasitic class.
2. A strong taste for what he and others here think (wrongly) is music.
3. A strong taste for watching videos of (definitely mature) young ladies dancing about in short dresses that show their knickers.
The last is shared with the overwhelming majority of heterosexual blokes. I would be more worried about males who didn’t enjoy it.
Suggesting he has paedo tendencies isn’t just wrong and insulting, it’s flagrantly stupid.
Afraid at first, I was
Petrified, I was

It is reported that the hyphenated Nancy who (allegedly) shot the two guys in Sydney is giving a “no comment” interview and not giving up the location of the bodies.
It would seem he thinks “no bodies, no conviction”.
I wonder if he wagged Police Academy the day they did “Overwhelming Circumstantial Evidence”.
Gee, thanks Doc 😕
What we got here is an ageing, fading female who, as KD might say, “was a solid 6.5 in her day” but hasn’t drawn a sideways glance from a male in over ten years.
Her reaction to men her age admiring younger (but well above consent age) women is to spit bile around.
Sad.
Well I’m with you on the vituperation (I admire your talent) and the dancing girls.
Two out of three ain’t bad. 😉

I wonder whether in the back of his mind he is thinking of that electrian bloke who had the young blonde boyfriend ten or so years ago. His boyfriend died mysteriously in his presence and he buried the body in the Royal National Park (IIRC).
He agreed to tell plod where the body was in exchange for indemnity from prosecution for murder. They found the body, the bloke stayed out of jail and the young man’s parents have no justice.
Maybe old mate thinks he can reduce the charge or cut a deal.

Real Deal.
There is no chance Mr Celebrity-Stalker can pass this off as a murder-suicide that he just stumbled on, panicked and disposed of the bodies.
I suspect he is so dumb he doesn’t realise exactly how screwed he is.
The alleged killer cop has only one bit of leverage, the bodies.
He can have 100 varieties of crap spun to try for manslaughter rather than murder.
Or the ” I don’t rot in jail for life if I provide the bodies” gambit.
Not saying either are likely to work, just if he’s that dead to rights it’s all he’s got.

Huh.
Mole.
Constable Hyphen-Soyboy hasn’t exhibited any signs of being a master criminal so far.
In fact, as far as stealth goes, he is something of a bleeding elephant crossing a snow field.
On exposed form, the disposal of the bodies will have been untidy. Once they are found, he has nothing left.
His only chance of sentence relief is to give up the location now.
But I think he is too dumb to see that.
CONCEPTUAL BREAKTHROUGHS IN THE EVOLUTIONARY BIOLOGY OF AGING
I have had some online dealings with Michael Rose. Very intelligent, equally arrogant, and puts forward a completely different approach to understanding aging. A major emphasis in his work is antagonistic pleiotropy. That makes a lot of sense but I don’t know what the big deal is because it is obvious. It helps explain certain problems with aging. I should read the book. His ideas are a worthy contribution to the subject.

A meat related public service announcement.
Vic’s meats is having an on-line promotion at the moment with a range of cuts being sold at discounts.
They are still moving their leftover Christmas hams.
$94, down from $235 for somewhere between 6-7kilos.
Not too shabby.

Footage of Albo at the Taylor Swift gig has made it’s way onto social media.
He was in a corporate box.
No doubt he’ll declare who he & his bird were guests of at some stage.
m0nty asserted that:
The idea modern conservatives have emerged out of the French Revolution.
This totally ignores early modern history, including English and American history. Let alone how different English and French societies were even in 1770 let alone 1789.
Conservatism can probably reliably go back to Lord North, the 1st Tory PM of significance, but you could go back as far as the Glorious Revolution. The Tories never sought to concentrate power in the hands of the Crown after this.
The idea that having an ethical argument against abortion based on scientific fact (life begins at conception) equivocates your beliefs to French feudalism owing its roots back as far as Roman Empire era (3rd century) Frankish King Marcomer is disingenuous and bizarre.
That was hilarious.
Arguing with monty is like shooting fish in a barrel with a Howitzer.
No doubt, but I find it interesting that he hasn’t declared who his father is, despite it being all over Women’s Weekly a few years back when he was trying to humanise himself before an ALP leadership vote.
What a grub.
Mummy bloggers are opining that the new female Woolworths CEO is being “set up to fail.”
The sisterhood is right behind you, Amanda, knives in hand.
They wanted $60/kg?
No buddy, you chose to lease near the city.
You’re not buying meat. You’re paying their lease.
As I age (politely phrases to females as “as time goes by”) I am trying to get back into athletic performance before it’s too late.
A good diet by frugality is my current idea.
I’ve worked out I can eat the Oslo Breakfast for about $25 per week, including cod liver oil (omega 3s) and one boiled egg (choline, cholesterol). I’ll sub in pumpernickel for rye annd butter for margarine (vitamin K2 and CLAs) and also eat the carrot whole and boiled.
That just leaves 28 other meals.
I’m not accounting for salt, pepper, utilities, etc.
Maybe because it was designed for children the calories are low. My concern is micronutrients.
How to do two more meals similarly (frugally) without driving yourself nuts or eating too much carbs whilst getting enough protein and all micronutrients?
By rights, fish should be cheap as chips…
I could eat porridge only but I don’t want to get scurvy.
So should gas.
Another question for Mr. Albanese.
You’ll live longer and be happier not worrying about it, Dot.

No wonder Albo refused to donate his concert tickets to the caller in the radio interview. You can’t have riff raff in a corporate box.
Will it be another nonentity to destroy the company like that vapid Optus woman?
Funny joke about PETA in WiP.
(Thanks Tom.)
Pick any Ask An Imam website for more “I accidentally…”
I think Mz. Rosmarin was a singular specimen.
This lady apparently has runs on the board in another division of the company.
Given Woolworths’ market share, I think it behooves us to wish her well in restoring the company’s reputation, which will mean setting aside political agendas, putting customers first and giving suppliers a fair deal while delivering a profit to shareholders.
In his parliamentary citizenship declaration, that is; in case anyone was wondering.

Why don’t we have more Filipino migrants?
From my experience they are an asset to any community you find them.
They certainly boost church attendance.
The German centre-left government is moving to “mass deportations” (the Chancellor’s own words) of failed asylum seekers in response to public discontent over border policies.
Anglosphere countries are rapidly becoming the odd men out on this issue.
