I suspect Trumble thinks of Democracy the same way as the American Democrats when they say “Our Democracy is threatened”. They are not referring to the freedoms and inputs from the citizen body – they mean the government and more particular the government that they dominate through their own members, the RINO’s, and the deep state.
For them, the demos is a threat to democracy.

I suppose that it is too much to expect j’ismists to be fluent in the English language, but the ongoing inability to distinguish between someone earning money by doing an actual job, and parasites like Weimar being paid for hanging around the office doing bugger all.

In the early 1950s a British Commercial Airline pilot made a bit of a hash landing at Frankfurt Airport and mucked up pulling up at the wrong demarcation spot. The German Airport Air Traffic Controller radios the pilot to ask him whether this was his first time in Frankfurt.
The pilot messaged back “No. Not my first time but the last time was in 1945 and it was night time and dark and I didn’t land.”
Just spent the best $2. Out shopping, heading back to the car when I saw an older lady getting a trolley only to discover no change to unlock it. I handed her $2 for it.

Supreme Court bombshell: Qld’s mandatory Covid vaccine orders ‘unlawful’

Makka, about Cook. When I was in NZ my mate has a map of the country on his workshop office wall of the country dating 1951. He says,”look at this”. On the map the Fjordland coastline has a note to say it was taken from Cook’s charts as no newer survey had been done.
The operative bits:
Nothing in the article about redress for harms caused by the unlawful directions.

Stupid comments all around. The Gender Pay gap is high level BS:
Australia politics live: Katy Gallagher calls on Peter Dutton to distance himself from Matt Canavan comments on gender pay gap reporting
Katy Gallagher has called on Peter Dutton to distance himself from comments made by Matt Canavan, after the opposition senator called the release of a national gender pay gap report today “useless data” that “breeds resentment and division” and might push people toward following Andrew Tate – an influencer currently facing human trafficking and rape charges.
The government’s Workplace Gender Equality Agency released individual gender pay gaps at nearly 5,000 businesses across Australia – every private company with 100 employees or more – on Tuesday for the first time.
Canavan posted on social media platform X on Tuesday morning, after the release of the data, saying it could push people toward Tate:
Gallagher:
An absolute banger. Senator Lleyonhjelm pulls apart this idiocy and the high-level APS is left mumbling and arse-covering with sheer farting rhino turds.

There possibly was some adult supervision too.

Does anyone seriously believe that all the WFH public serpents are actually taking their full “working day” to do whatever it is they do to occupy their time? This is just a double dip at a pay rise, then many will take on casual employment for there fifth working day.
I have a number of arguments over the past year or so about this. Most people cannot believe it and think it means 4 x 10 hour days. It is nothing if the sort. It is same pay for 80% of the work.
So unless you have been. Sitting around wasting 1/5 of your time at work, there is no way you are going to be as productive in 4 days as you were un 5 days. So next things the govt will need to hire new workers to make up the difference.

The following comment appearing on Redditt concerning the landmark decision today in Qld:
Dozens of police and health workers including paramedics have won a mammoth legal battle over mandatory vaccination orders after the Supreme Court declared they were unlawful.
In a 115-page decision handed down by Justice Glenn Martin on Tuesday he declared police commissioner Katarina Carroll’s direction for mandatory Covid-19 vaccination issued in December 2021 was unlawful under the Human Rights Act and banned her from taking any steps to enforce the direction.
He also ruled that a similar order by John Wakefield, the director general of Queensland Health’s equivalent vaccination policy “is of no effect” and Mr Wakefield be blocked from forcing paramedics to have the injection. Seventy four people opposing vaccinations took the state government to the Supreme Court to challenge vaccination directives, they were included in three separate applications before the court. Two related to police officers or civilian staff, and the third case related to Queensland Ambulance Service workers. The workers did not have to be vaccinated while their legal fight was underway.
Hey Indolent – I reckon the decision today on illegality of Vax mandates deserves a celebration.
Too little, too late. Where’s the sanctioning of the hitlerist dunderheads who thought they could decree these ridiculous, utterly obscene “mandates”?
BoN’s take …
Philosophically that doesn’t make any sense.
You don’t think woke inner city cafes and bars support woke wineries?
A lot of people buy organic and preservative free wines.
The issue is that there are plenty of good wines around and “Riverland” is more noted for table grapes and bulk wines.
I know you are looking for a local Bud Lite to kick, but this is more likely a regional brand problem than anything else.
Have to say, Taliban Supreme Court, at least as report above, appears very based.

There’s actually a linear logic to the decision.
I know a lawyer who worked on the police case. She was always confident of a win.
Sancho – Loudly targeting your product only at a nutty 10% of the population is a great way to go broke.
Instead you should say nuffink on the label or in your advertising material (ahem Bud Light) to annoy the 90% of people who are fed up with woke, but also make your product organic, vegan and Gaia-worshipping, then rely on the frootloops to read the fine print. Which they will, whilst carefully searching on the internet for the most virtuous tipple they can get blotto on.
That way you are selling to 100% of the prospective market.
The art of selling woke products is to dog whistle to the woke. That way the rest of us don’t hear or see the stupid religious signaling.
However, this sounds a little arbitrary,.

Of course if you are going to make something organic, vegan and Gaia-worshipping it’s going to be very expensive to produce. So it better taste damn good or you’ll get undercut by your unwoke competitors. Free markets are great sifters of stupid.

Jeanette Young, current Qld Gov General and previously Chief Health Officer should stand herself down right now. This Supreme Court ruling is excellent, and as others have said, too late.

Apparently, that’s not corruption, or so I was told by the health service which refused to investigate its own CEO.

Speaking of Victoria, according to Sky the other night, the Libs now have a policy of 95% renewables by 2035.
It is becoming clearer and clearer that they do not want to be in government , that a few of them are happy in their safe seats and high income and emitting the occasional bleat .
Seriously Victoria is now a one party state.There is no monstrous act or cock up that Labor can make that will lead to it losing as the opposition is running dead.
If they continue in this vain, any chance of a Federal win by Dutton and his Libs will vanish. No way will they campaign on nuclear.

Even now they have not yet been reinstated despite the mandates no longer being in place. Others have, he said, but not them, because if they were there would be claims & compensation for wrongful dismissal.

TrkB is widely regarded as the most important growth driver in the adult brain. It is not about serotonin, it is about that. The potential is to forget about the high and focus on developing a drug that targets Trkb. No need for expensive therapy sessions with patients going mystical and woo woo stuff.

I’ve always been somewhat perturbed that Shakespeare really called his kid Hamnet.
Nietzsche was wrong for the same reason Petersen is wrong. They think behavior is primarily regulated by our worldview. In a discussion with Dillahunty Petersen argued that there are no true atheists, implying that genuine atheists would be psychopaths. Dillahunty demolished him. If you want to understand human behavior don’t rely on philosophers and religionists because in the last 50 years we have learnt more about behavior than the entire previous history. Start with Sapolsky’s Stanford lectures on Youtube. Slow because it is introductory but he provides the critical concepts.

Nietzsche was right about many things, and way ahead of his time on a number of topics.
Up there, was his assertion that God is dead. For way too many these days this is true.
But it was not a proclamation of fact, more an observation that humans had drifted away from God.
As it was with Mark Twain (Samuel Clements), rumours of his death have been exaggerated.
Nietzsche also had a severance from Wagner due to the latter’s anti-semitism.

The Great Taking: How Deep State Will Ensure You Own Nothing
The Police Commissioner is behaving as an utter fool during the press briefing about locating of the two slain gay men. First she’s giving her condolences to families of the victims and in the next breath jokingly referring to investigators who were present. She has no sense of the occasion or how to behave. Just as well she handed over the briefing to her deputy. Everyone is doing a better job than she did, she has to go.

Our fearless Police Chief after her interview this morning;
“The NSW Police Commissioner refused to leave Channel Seven’s Sunrise studio on Tuesday because she feared she was about to be ambushed outside by one of the network’s news crews.
Webb – who had just finished a brutal interview with Natalie Barr where she brushed off concerns about her leadership by quoting Taylor Swift’s line ‘haters gonna hate’ – then reportedly refused to walk outside.
‘If you want any indication of a police commissioner under siege, Karen Webb stayed in the Sunrise studio for up to 10 minutes today, refusing to leave, saying she would not be ambushed by our crew,’ reporter Robert Ovadia claimed. “

Nobody doubts that there are social benefits associated with the western Christian mythos. Also some serious problems.
Nietzsche is said to have claimed that Christianity contains the seeds of its own destruction in that it elevates truth as essential, and the pursuit of truth entails doubt. So a really good Christian will doubt the foundational beliefs.

Avi Yemini has a report…
My younger brother got his promotion to Senior Sergeant when he was seconded to the Wood Royal Commission. He and a superintendent sat through all the evidence and tried to crystal ball the recommendations and come up with a plan to implement said recommendations. That pommie dickead commish had the political nouse to plan ahead.
I’d say she was right on the second point. If it had been a hetero triangle and a bloke had killed his girlfriend and her new lover, nobody would call it a hate crime.
Oh, OK.
I did wonder how he got the bodies out un-noticed in busy Paddo.
I can buy that.
But I can’t buy that.
Getting two bodies out of a house in a surfbag in a busy suburb and into a van on your own is stretching it.
Note the cute choice of words.
“Placing the bodies in their current location”.
Not saying “moving them from Paddington to Bungonia on his own”.
The Tele:
And:
The bodies were allegedly discovered inside two surfboard bags
That disposal method didn’t work for Roger Rogerson either.
Closely related to Mark Bolton, I assume.
My suspicion is that he maybe didn’t do the shift anyway (even though NSW Plod told the press he was “on shift”).
In any case, he picked the gun up Friday supposedly for a Sunday shift and returned it on, I think, Tuesday.
That screams slackness.
Looks NQR straight off the bat. Have you seen the vid of him tasering (or trying to taser) a bloke from a few years back? It was on a A Current Affair air last night.
And Petersen seems to think that psilocybin has some connection with the transcendental. A simpler explanation is that it can make you permanently potty.
Well, not ideal for disposal at sea, due to the buoyancy factor.
And for land disposal?

They love labor here in Victoria and I don’t understand it, then again, the other mob gets no air time at all and might as well not exist in the media here.
That plays a fair way into it, and during an election the bad news is nearly all one way and our ABC do all they can to aggressively attack anyone but Labor and the Greens.
How do you defeat that?
Currently the other mob is trying the technique of the last Liberal Government, sucking up to the media .. it will never work and is astonishing they keep rolling it out.
They seem convinced they need to be nice to their critics and copy the woke/green climatey BS .. makes me sick to hear it.

I can’t recall any understanding shown of the horrors of the 2018 drought or the subsequent terror generated by the Gosper Mt firestorm.
Of all recent Liberal PMs he was the most urban centred. His support for Net Zero confirmed it.
What’s Andrew Clennell on about with using police weapons in user pays work?
In such work eg presence at AFL games the police are present in police uniform. Individual police are not paid by the event organisers they are paid by the police service. The event organiser pays the police service their fee.
Where do these journalists come from? Clennell is supposed to be an experienced journalist yet he gobs off on an issue like this with no idea how it works.
It’s been about 5 days since we learned that the accused signed out the weapon for a user pays gig. He’s had all that time to familiarise himself about the workings of user pays events and he still disgraces himself.
What a goose!!
The next time a gay kills another gay I demand all gays be banned from Mardi Gras as clearly anti gay.
I don’t think they have thought it through.
Given the idiocy of their policies (and their leader) that’s probably not a bad thing.
Giuseppe Prosciutto: “We’ll be going 95% Year Zero by 2035 when that uppity nayzee chick Deeming won’t be any where to be seen”
By taking a leaf of the playbook of politicians who do get into the media. Eg Jacquie Lambie, Pauline Hanson, Bob Katter, George Christensen, et al.
Say something sensible that the left consider to be outrageous, & say it like you mean it. Eg, The army shouldn’t pay income tax, or car rego should be half the price, or somesuch.
The horrified left-leaning media will get your name & message out there, believing they’re showing the genpop what a dickhead you are, meanwhile the normies are hearing something that sounds sensible.
Puzzled as to why your polling is heading north, the media will double down on amplifying your message.

What’s this with the Commish giving her condolences to the QERTY community? I’ve never seen this done when heterosexuals are murdered. Our condolences to the “straight” community? Identity politics is infecting every nook and cranny.
Yeah, I thought the same. Why was she apologising to a specific distinct group? Perhaps an apology to the people of NSW generally, that police procedures appear to have let them down by allowing a person to use their service weapon to commit a crime. Or, how about an apology that the person was deemed suitable to be a police officer and wasn’t weeded out when he applied. Whilst on the subject, how about an apology for the appalling ignoring of hate-speech by police over the past 3 months by the Pali supporters.
What is it about the homosexual lobby that it commands such fawning from our politicians and assorted other leaders (ie. police).
Total mystery why they lose elections.
Can’t wait for the day his go-fund-me flops (trying to raise the money the court says he must pay to Ms. Deeming)
Body boards!
Who’ll be leading the fawning political obituaries for Goose Morristeen this evening on Sky?
Shazza?
Kenny?
Crudlin?
Pricey?
Joe Hildebeast?
Ding Dong! We have a winner, folks, Paul Murray, come on down!
The Qld Human Rights Commission’s judgement is not kind to the court performance of QPS Commissioner Carroll, however my reading of the summary and (an admittedly cursory) skim through the full product leaves me confused. I’m happy to be corrected, but my interpretation is that, while both directives (QPS and QAS) are ruled unlawful, the limitations to the human rights of the applicants was declared reasonable.
So that’s a ‘no-but-yes?’
What am I missing?

Full judgement (115 pages).
Page 114:
Nothing changes?
Uh-oh!
Man in a white van?
20 years on Burke remains political Kryptonite. With good reason.
Sorry. On the final page (if I understand it correctly, bearing in mind my redneck yokel status), orders are given that restrain the heads of the QPS and QAS from taking disciplinary action against the non-vaccinated applicants.
It’s difficult to know what to make of all of this. Certainly there were no attempts to seek financial redress by the applicants.
Where does the Qld Human Rights Commission fits into this vaccine mandate judgement?
Off topic, but the Lieboral Party don’t seem to have any problems with oral ejaculation. (Likely due to the escaping gasses of internal decomposition passing through the vocal chords).
The QHRC has declared that the QPS and QAS directions for mandatory jabbing were unlawful because they breached the applicants’ human rights. However, the limits placed on the applicants’ human rights were ‘reasonable.’
I think. I don’t know. I’m not a beagle eagle. Or summink.
(The efficacy of the vaccines seems to have been assumed?).
I had a look at a brief interview he gave on free will and was not particularly impressed with his philosophical excursion. He seems to be rehashing a position better put by Rosenberg but lacking the philosophical background of the latter.
It was Supreme Court not HRC.
So far neither The Oz, Herald Sun or Daily Telegraph have mentioned the case.
4BC did have a clip on the news with Pauline Hanson saying she feels vindicated over the result.
Not listened to 4BC all day but don’t appear to be giving the story much attention.
The mainstream media will be trying to keep this low key.
So tell everybody you know!
I was speaking to an ex-copper (Victoria) mate today in regards to procedure regarding service weapons. He was stationed in his time at a few different cop shops in Surf Coast and Bellarine towns.
He used to like doing overtime/off-roster gigs at the footy at Kardinia Park. In those instances the cops doing the footy that day would report to Geelong cop shop, suit up/briefing etc, and then be issued with what he called a “spare” from the armoury. Any of the coppers that were based at Geelong station doing the footy would sign out their own service weapon etc.
After the footy. Return the spare, get in your civvies and go home.
For some LOLs Mavis has a column on SloMo in today’s Paywallian.
Very interesting presentation by Arab League at the ICJ today.
Worthwhile addition for the Israeli hostage negotiations ..

Her final years must have been heartbreaking for her. Did she have any other family?
Yes, we need to know when the police have been rented and when they are on actual policing work. One other thing, why are they allowed to wear uniforms when not on official business and just being rent-a-cop?
“I have a job to do. It is a big job. This is just one of many. We actually had seven murders last week.
To give you the idea she does any plodding .. LOL!
If it weren’t for the media publicity over the plod pillow biter’s involvement in 2 of them her only interest in the weekly murder rates would be the stats memo in her in-tray ..
Credlin: again we are being regaled with agitprop about the gender pay gap by the same people who have trouble saying what a woman is.
Ouch! Touche!
Her will mentions nieces and nephews, grandnieces and grandnephews, as legatees.
The world is turning upside down, more and more. A middle power like UK going down the gurgler while Argentina, a former basket case, has decided not to commit political and economic suicide. I suppose it helps that they don’t have an infiltration of millions of illegal immigrants and only their own population to persuade.
How many people in NSW? As someone has said, probably on borrowed time. Shades of “I had to eat”. Other parallels could be drawn.
Shades of “I had to eat”.
very much so
Grandees gotta luv ’em .. one of my grandees, miss five, rang me today, “Grandad for my burfday I wantz a guitar, pleeze” ..
Apparently, according to Mum she has been inspired after her trip up from Danistan to see TAY TAY …. LOL!
Are you unaware of identity politics or is this a rhetorical question?
I watched two minutes of remarks about racism and forcible this and that.
As though Arabs were just innocent sitting duck victims of Jewish aggression.
100 years of suffering.
Jews have always lived in Israel.
More Jews moved to Israel in the late 19th and early 20th century by buying property from willing sellers.
Arabs started a war and lost.
More than once.
Billie, since the Libs are never going to get a break from the media they might as well play against the media. Do stunts, make outrageous statements that would enrage the media but play well with the voting public, ask uncomfortable questions of the government and the media. Make the media defend their own actions.
I know, this requires guts and imagination which the Pesutto lot run from at supersonic speed.
Oh, you mighty warriors of Hamas – dragging half naked Israeli girls off to Gaza, on your motorcycles…Just a single bullet, fair between the eyes…
Should have scrolled down to your comment to see that you already suggested this approach. Consider this a big uptick.
Ah, WA … beautiful one day; a police state the next.
I always assumed he would as they are close friends.
I think he is way off base on that issue. I couldn’t care less about arcane debates that have been going on for centuries because if the issue hasn’t been solved by now the question is the problem. That highlights a fundamental problem with philosophy and is why so many are turned off by the subject.
When it becomes to behavior though Sapolsky is leading the way.
Twiggy is a fuking POS. He is full blackout bowen against nuclear and full blackout bowen for ruinables. No wonder his missus has pissed off, along with his female CEO.
You can’t see the forest for the trees?
I certainly can’t see Twiggy Forrest’s intellect getting to grips with the brave new world we inhabit these days. His obsession with renewables is no more logically-based than all those others.
Sopranos marathon. Day 5.
Tony Soprano just killed Ralph Siporetto over Pie-Oh-My’s death in a fire.
A televisual feast indeed.
Lizzie, people who have always relied on lies will not willingly accept the truth.
Or people are making the same mistakes over and again as philosophical questions are revisited.
No surprise Trump completely bypassed the media via Twitter prior to his election. Now he is political Hydra, every time they cut off a head two grow back.
Sorry Rosie, confused you with Lizzie.
Lack of empathy.
There were many other occasions when he demonstrated that trait.
I’m not suggesting a PM should wear his heart on his sleeve but there was something awry with Morrison’s personality in that regard.
Good ICJ presentation DB, but presumably the shortcoming to the argument is that it basically assumes history and a right to self determination only began c 100 years ago?
I wouldn’t be too sure about that.

Argentina: Activists to strike nationwide, protest in Buenos Aires on Feb. 26 (26 Feb)
Argentina has a history of putsches and coups, and we haven’t seen their deep state in action yet. After all those years with the Kirchners in the big house they must be well entrenched. They’re unlikely to be happy campers right now.
The Jews owned some 7% of the land of “Palestine” – they paid over the going rate, in gold.
