NSW Parliament passed that absurd “anti-gay* conversion therapy” Bill last night.
I think gay conversion therapy is pretty silly, but it shouldn’t be banned.
*Trans
Here’s the thing. Uniparty politicians won’t stop pushing trans stuff until we target their children and grandchildren for gender-affirming surgery.
It’s the only way. Make them care about the issue? Their line dies, due to their own stupidity?
It might be evil to play God, but if it’s the only way to get the ruling class’s attention so they stop playing God on a grander scale?
Mea culpa, mea culpa maxima.
Silly? dot, in many instances “conversion therapy” is just prayer groups and counselling that is voluntarily entered into.
Provided nobody is coerced, what’s the problem?
The law impinges on religious freedoms.
Some dudes are just too gay to even bother with that.
Of course, but then some aren’t and want to follow their religion.

“MacArthur Reconsidered” by James Ellman makes interesting reading. The final conclusion the author draws is that the United States does not need another MacArthur. One General Douglas MacArthur was more then enough….
McClellan seemed to be a similar critter. Lincoln must’ve sung hosannas when he finally found Grant and Sherman.
After one of Grant’s early victories, Lincoln was at a society do in Washington when a woman complained to him that Grant was a drunkard (which wasn’t strictly true). Lincoln reportedly replied, “Do you know what whiskey he drinks? I’d like to send every general in the army a case.”
Grant’s grandson wrote that neither his father nor his grandfather had much head for strong drink, and a little went a long way.
There may be a touch of revisionism there. Biographer Ron Chernow argues that Grant was a binge drinker who could go for months without a drink but would succumb occasionally while away from his family. As I recall it, one or two incidents early on dogged him the rest of his life.
MacArthur had his good points.
In his office in his Brisbane HQ he refused to have a portrait of Roosevelt on the wall behind his desk as protocol demanded, opting instead for a portrait of Washington.

Huge Target change could transform Australian shopping (News.com.au, 22 Mar)
I hate the wretched things. They’re slow, have annoying voices, encourage theft and dishonesty, and strip jobs from people who need them – older checkout chicks.
Seems I’m not alone, since the story has a webpoll:
I went into an Aussie Target the other day and found a pair of shoes that was worth buying. Arrived at the checkouts. Every single checkout was a robot. So I turned around, put the shoes back, and walked out.
Kmart is the same.
There’s nothing I love more than Woolworths and Coles hectoring me about gays, indigenous whales, land rights and Captain Cook committing genocide – so I absolutely adored their COVID preaching and misanthropic perspex barriers, but the use of face recording technology on their automated checkouts which could never be misused – well that just takes the cake and has stolen my heart.
It is the best shopping experience I could imagine. God bless their CEOs who have the common touch and our interests on their mind.

Attainder
I really can’t see it dot. The 8th amendment and misapplication of the base charge, 63:12, plus judicial error in pronouncing guilt without a trial are the immediate basis of any appeal. I also don’t understand why Trump has to pay the fine before he can appeal the paying of the fine. This was part of the bony bastard’s judgment not part of any legislation. I would be applying for an immediate stay of the Judgment.

I bet though she ends up on her back like her sister in Georgia. She behaves like a crook and there must be something in her past that the Republicans will eventually dig up.
Its a general thing to prevent endless appeals delaying a court ruling being implemented. Trump would have been advised of this possibility (raising a surety bond or cash to support an appeal) by his lawyers before going down that route.

More reasons never to fly Qantas.
Qantas passenger complains about meal that critics say looks like ‘prison food’ (21 Mar)
Here’s the photo the passenger took.
The thing I’m most amused by, apart from the ridiculously bad food, is the wooden cutlery and the rather wonky rectangular paper box thingie the food has somehow been extruded wetly into. If you fly, choose an airline that hasn’t caught the green virtue signalling disease, and has real dining utensils.
Moist, surely?
Looks bad, sure.
But who flies cattle class and expects an “enjoyable dining experience”?
I’d wager the truth behind the airline’s “disappointment” is that catering has long since been outsourced and the unit cost the airline imposes on the supplier has recently been cut.
Thanks, QANTAS!

I was just thinking about him last night.
He would be absolutely affronted at the thought that a black person would need anything more than equality of opportunity to succeed.
I am sure he would view affirmative action “thumbs on the scales” as some sort of acknowledgement that blacks are inherently inferior and require an additional leg-up to succeed.
I was watching a video the other night (that I failed to bookmark; might try and find it later) that featured a middle aged black woman addressing a room of white men telling them Obama must hate blacks because his policies were so detrimental to their welfare and hence to America. She mentioned her mother, who may have been in the civil rights movement, writing to all the black churches in her vicinity to warn them about Obama.

M0nty: “let Tish confiscate multiple properties”
Gee M0nty, did you ever wonder “And then what?”
Even you would have to admit that when the supposed victims not only say “we were never fooled and we always do our own due dilligence” but also “We’d be happy to do such lucrative business with Mr Trump again”, it’s hard to justify such a ludicrously large penalty, and even more ridiculous to suggest that anyone should need to stump up $0.5 Billion just to appeal such a ruling.
Trump appeals to SCOTUS, citing that he received a summary judgement and therefore was denied due process, and/or the punishment is excessive and/or who knows what else.
If Trump wins such an appeal after NY has confiscated his properties, how much is just compensation for his loss of property, reputation and so on, and how much as a penalty to NY State for egregious prosecution? Could easily top $1 billion, and I would suspect should be even greater, given the great misuse of power from a public official (assuming Trump wins an appeal, don’t forget).
If Trump loses, how many will leave NY forever? Already, the number is cited as “50% in the next 5 years”, how much will that accelerate if every single property developer flees the state, leaving not just empty office space that can’t be filled, but also can’t be repurposed into housing?
What happens when the $370/day required to house and feed illegal immigrants due to NY’s crazy “right to shelter” law applies to 1 million plus – and there are no more rich people to tax?
Johannesburg is a good example.
Deutsche Bank (USA) dumped Trump 4 years ago and refused to do any more business with him or his family. Trump family leaving NY is no loss – sub-contractors and service providers won’t miss the trumps at all.
Trump’s net wealth has been going up since the GFC, Deustche Bank’s has not. An 84% loss to equity holders.
I’m sure they’re totally not political idiots propped up by bank bailouts ruining a long-established brand, and they could totally succeed in bringing a start-up to life.

“The Commissioner has the ability to remove officers if she has lost confidence in their suitability to continue as a police officer,” the statement said.
Quite a few legal i’s to be dotted and t’s to be crossed I would think. Even in such a case as this she can’t act by a simple decree.

Because the commissioner was a diversity hire and knows she would never have got the job on merit.
Therefore, the key to her staying in the job is surrounding herself with advisers and lawyers and procedures to ensure she can’t be sacked without months or years of legal warfare.

Future nuclear power reactors could rely on molten salts—but what about corrosion? (TechXplore, 21 Mar)
They added europium fluoride to accelerate corrosion in their experimental set up, which is noteworthy since 155Eu is a fission product. So with MSTRs you have to safeguard against both the thorium and the fission products – both nuclear behaviour and chemistry. So it gets complicated.
Even though this is an excellent finding I still think corrosion is going to kill the idea. Which will be unfortunate since fuel-element thorium designs would be the way to go, but if MSTR’s give thorium a bad name it’ll be very hard to overcome resistance from the usual suspects.
This idea of small scale reactors is just another one of the “libertarians” red herrings to support their lefty mates in destroying all the proven things that actually work.
Like national borders, ICE cars, mass production manufacturing, enforcement of drug laws.
Every weirdo libertarian obsession has it’s origin in excusing the wholesale leftist destruction of our society.
One might start off being puzzled by their fart smoking promotion of seemingly off beat cul de sacs.
By now you should be able to see enough of the trail of wreckage behind them to figure it out Bruce.
Go look at the city centres full of drugged out whackos and derros. Look at the border crisis. Look at horrible destruction wrought by their bogus “free trade” obsession.
It’s a huge country with an existing uranium industry. Just build some bloody proper nuclear power stations. It’s not hard. Even the ridiculous flipping French have them.
Sheer idiocy.
No one has argued against national borders. We should have nuke immediately. We could produce cars, but we’ve made it too expensive to do so here.
Drug laws are hyperbolically idiotic.
Triggered again.
“I think”
Not science.
You need to put quotes around that word, like this: “civilian”.
Study: 93 Percent of Palestinians Deny Oct. 7 Atrocities (21 Mar)
Which to my mind qualifies 93% of Palestinians to not be civilians.

LOL. “Youths”, the all-purpose excuse for anyone between 15 and 30 who might be a bit suss.
I’m not particularly hung up on the term, but would it be any different if they used ‘teenagers’,’ young adults’, or just omitted the term, and just said civilians?
Australia’s Uniparty has granted Indian educational qualifications Australian equivalence status.
Given how Australian educational standards have fallen that seems appropriate.
We’re going to be behind India soon, since our students won’t have learned anything practically useful. But they will be able to recite Rabbit Proof Fence and Inconvenient Truth by heart.
Dickless is cock a hoop; which is the only way he can have a cock.
What is happening to Trump is not about Trump but about everyone, even dickless lefties, because even though they think they’re in with the elites they’ll be fed to the crocs like everyone else.
Has Monty ever given you the impression he can think further than a day ahead?
If given the chance to hurt a right winger he will support it. Any idea of precedent, blowback, unintended consequences etc mean nothing to any leftist.
And in Monty’s defence, why should it? You can virtually guarantee that if Trump wins power half of the Republicans in congress will revert to their default simp nature and say “forgive and forget” “let’s not stoop to their level”, “we have more important things to do” etc.

?School principals under attack from violent students and angry parents
By NATASHA BITA
EDUCATION EDITOR
Violent students and bullying parents physically attacked half of the country’s school principals last year, forcing schools to hire security guards, according to the results of a shocking new survey.
The escalating violence is revealed in the world’s longest-running survey of school leaders, which found 56 per cent of the 2300 Australian principals surveyed are now so stressed they want to quit their job.
Australian Primary Principals’ Association president Angela Falkenberg on Thursday revealed a parent had threatened her with a gun, while another pulled out a knife, after they became angry that she had been “telling off their child’’.
“People have been pushed, shoved, hit and kicked,’’ she said.
“I know a female teacher who had her front tooth knocked out by an angry male parent.
“I had a gun pulled on me in the Northern Territory in the 1980s – it scared the heck out of me but I was told to toughen up.
“In another meeting, a parent pulled out a knife and said ‘I’m just putting it here (on the desk) just in case.’
“I had a child who brought dope to school to give to a friendship group, but when the parents came in they were angry with me because they wanted their stash back.’’
Ms Falkenberg, who is now based in South Australia, said more schools were hiring security guards to protect students and staff, and some principals had taken out AVOs (apprehended violence orders) to keep menacing parents at bay.
She said that when principals meet parents in an office or classroom, “we position ourselves by the doors in case we have to get out in a hurry’’.
“It can be drug-related, it can be mental health,’’ she said of parents’ bad behaviour. “I’ve called the police many times – sometimes the police don’t even turn up, so principals have to go to a police station to report it.
“Some schools have security guards, and many have security fences so the way in and out of school is restricted.’’
The Australian Catholic University survey found 48 per cent of principals and deputy principals reported physical violence last year – up from 27 per cent a decade ago.
The ACU’s Institute for Positive Psychology and Education polled 2300 principals, deputy principals and assistant principals for its annual Australian Principal Occupational Health, Safety and Wellbeing Survey.
Half the principals reported physical assault – 96 per cent at the hands of students, and 20 per cent from parents.
“Physical violence has increased 76.5 per cent since the survey’s inception in 2011,’’ the ACU report states.
One principal told the ACU team “I have been injured by students trying to protect others’’.
Another said that “assaults on me and my staff by students with disabilities, and by adult trespassers and teen trespassers, have greatly increased this year’’.
Australian Secondary Principals’ Association president Andy Mison said that he had been “thumped and grabbed and had a shirt pulled’’.
“Sometimes quite large aggressive dads come in swearing and threatening somebody and the school needs to go into lockdown,’’ he said.
“Most kids and parents are amazing but there’s a small group of parents who think it’s OK to come in, all guns blazing, and take out their rage and frustration in the school.”
Mr Mison said the survey showed principals were suffering unusually high rates of burnout and stress, and called on governments to cut administrative workloads, hire more teachers and fund schools to teach children with mental health problems.
ACU researcher Paul Kidson called on education ministers to take action at their next ministerial meeting. “More than 1250 principals told us they would seriously consider leaving their current job,’’ he said.
Dr Kidson directed the blame at “helicopter parents’’ for intervening every time a teacher reprimands a student.
Oz
“The government ‘ll fix it!”
There are already laws against menacing with a weapon and assault.
Are charges not being laid? Are police not arresting the alleged culprits? Are the courts not dispensing justice?
Let’s start there before we spend millions on another failed government program.
Indeed, and perhaps the principals might reflect on their roles in weakening discipline a decade or so ago, when the current parents of primary school kids were in high school.
Even though this is an excellent finding I still think corrosion is going to kill the idea.
Molten salts or lead as a coolant have many advantages, actually increasing the efficiency of the fission process thus increasing fuel stocks.
Corrosion is a problem with salts but utilising the fission process itself mitigates the issue. That is directing part of the radiation to the metals in the reactor reduces markedly corrosive process.
I agree with you about lead. It is liquid over a range of 1,400 degrees, which makes it very tolerant of problems. It’s probably going to be preferred over sodium for future breeder uses.
The problem with molten salt systems is the halogens – they are bad news for corrosion. I’ve seen vast problems with molten halide baths and with aqueous halide solutions. They can eat inert metals like titanium or Inconel for breakfast.
If it was something that could actually work to solve anything, then whacko libertarians wouldn’t be fascinated by it.
Grumble grumble, nothing of value
Libertarians are even more thin skinned than baby boomers. God help us if we ever find a criticism that exclusively upsets libertarian boomers.
“Al Jazeera has acquired leaked IDF drone footage showing the IDF killing 4 unarmed Palestinians in Khan Yunis using drone strikes. The footage clearly shows to terrorize and instill fear in Palestinians, as a means to coerce them into leaving Gaza permanently.”
These guys can’t get their propaganda lined up. It was footage leaked by the IDF, it was an IDF drone shot down by Hamas, they were hastening to their homes but most of all, like everyone in Gaza, they were innocent civilians. Don’t even know for sureif they were killed by the IDF or it was friendly fire.
That fellow makes a lot of assumptions on his X feed.
Or he asks followers to do so.
I’m not sure there is a contradiction between ‘Al Jazeera obtained leaked footage’ and ‘ footage leaked by the IDF’. As for the friendly-fire possibility, do you know if Hamas has munitions that accurate?
JC
No. You don’t. If someone said “I witnessed my kid develop autism symptoms the day after their 12 month shots you would say “correlation isn’t causation. Hah!”
But if someone says “I’m sick and I did a test and the test showed that I might have caught the “virus” at some point in the past” you take that as definitive proof of causation.
Please stop talking epidemiology. You have absolutely no clue.
Causation is shown by challenge, dechallenge, rechallenge. There are many such events involving vaccines and injury – ergo, vaccines cause injury (including autism).
There are no CDR events involving viruses. None. Ever. Therefore, there is no valid evidence that viruses cause injury or death.

“More likely a roadside IED went off and triggered a second one off to the side and a hamas drone. The drone was supposedly “shoot down”, they would definitely be showing the drone remains in their coverage as proof it was Israeli if their claim were true.”
Just one of many comments pointing out the obvious flaws. If you shot down an IDF drone, you’d make sure there was a money shot.
Far more likely these people were killed by something hamas left for the IDF to walk over.
I’ve seen lots of footage of IDF shooting people with drones, they’re always clearly carrying weapons.

Students with ADHD, autism receive compensation payouts for discrimination
EXCLUSIVE
By NATASHA BITA
EDUCATION EDITOR
Schools have paid compensation to students suspended for misbehaviour after litigious parents took discrimination complaints to the Australian Human Rights Commission.
The AHRC fielded 111 complaints about schools breaching the Disability Discrimination Act last year, compared to 79 in 2022.
Several schools paid tens of thousands of dollars to students diagnosed with autism or ADHD who had been suspended or expelled for their behaviour.
One religious school paid $30,000 and apologised to a mother who alleged it did not take “reasonable steps’’ to help her son transition to high school.
The mother claimed the school failed to provide “reasonable adjustments’’ for her son’s learning, as he had ADHD and was on the autism spectrum. “She claimed this led to an escalation in behaviour by her son and alleged the school responded in a punitive way by suspending him on multiple occasions rather than appropriately accommodating his disability,’’ the AHRC says in a newly published summary of the case from 2022.
“The complainant also alleged the school treated her less favourably as a parent of a student with disability by not addressing her concerns and making her feel guilt and shame by discussing concerns raised by other parents about her son.’’
There are concerns the National Disability Insurance Scheme has failed a generation of children with mild… developmental delays. Child autism experts are warning the NDIS focuses too much on providing therapeutic services in clinical settings. They claim children are better supported through less intensive therapy approaches. These include environments such as More
A private school paid $25,000 to the mother of a six-year-old boy with autism, ADHD and developmental delay, who had been suspended. The mother alleged that the school had banned her son from the first week of kindergarten “because he may scare other children’’, and then limited his classroom attendance to three hours a day.
“The complainant also alleged that the school did not accommodate her son’s disability in the classroom, did not make allowances for her son’s disability when applying disciplinary policy and did not develop an individual plan for her son,’’ the AHRC case summary states.
“The (child) was ultimately suspended and the complainant removed him from the school.’’
The school denied unlawful discrimination but agreed to pay the mother $25,000, in return for her taking down “negative comment’’ she posted on social media.
A private high school paid $50,000 in compensation to a 15-year-old student with down syndrome, anxiety, a speech disorder, scoliosis, and sensory processing difficulties in 2019.
The school expelled the girl because of her “spitting behaviour’’, the AHRC summary states.
The girl’s psychologist had explained that “her disability manifested as a habit of spitting when frustrated, embarrassed or annoyed’’.
The girl complained to the AHRC that the school had failed to provide reasonable adjustments and that “her enrolment was ended after a number of occasions when she spat on teachers and students’’.
“The school confirmed it ended the complainant’s enrolment because of her spitting behaviour, which was considered to be deliberate and not a manifestation of her disability,’’ the AHRC states.
“The school said the behaviour was causing ongoing distress to teachers and other students.
A state education department paid $40,000 to a mother who alleged a principal had assaulted her 10-year-old son, who had anxiety and “processing speed difficulties’’. “The complainant alleged the school discriminated against her son on the ground of disability including by failing to develop a behaviour support plan,’’ the AHRC summary states.

Some of these cases will be legitimate, but I suspect mostly it’s a case of “produce more lawyers, get more lawsuits” or threats thereof forcing a payout.
So how does paying “go away” parents money help/solve the situation ..?
Reality is if kids have disabilities that show they can’t cope with “normal” schooling then they shouldn’t be in “normal” schooling ….
Absolutely.
Placing “special needs”, kids in normal classes, drags down the ordinary kids. Every kid loses.

Why is my comment awaiting approval?
I like the look of the new site but it’s giving me the sh!ts.
Happened to me a few days ago. By the time it was approved, the topic was stale. Strange, because posts had been accepted before on this new format. Not sure if this is to be a regular “thing”.
Sproul junior not quite the thing. My understanding is that Franco was an indifferent Catholic and Catholics were forced into Nationalist arms by the savagery of republicans. Not just religious such as nuns and priests were targeted but practising Catholics, especially if they were were involved in lay institutions like Catholic Action being hunted out and murdered.
Beevor dismissed the nuns being raped claims because there was no post war outcry, not understanding that the sisters would have just went quietly back into their convents.

“The AHRC fielded 111 complaints about schools breaching the Disability Discrimination Act last year, compared to 79 in 2022.”
Can’t help wondering how many complaints about breaching the Human Right of bodily autonomy – which Australia signed up to under the UN – they got regarding the vaxes, yet they did nothing about that, despite the recent Queenthland ruling. Can you FOI the AHRC?
Can you FOI the AHRC? Should be able to, it is a legislated organisation funded by the taxpayer.
Drugs that lower the level of something that causes problems for being too high (eg hypertension, uric acid) might make sense. Not giving any particular ones my endorsement, but I can see why they *might* work.
Analgesics are fine when used sparingly (ie on severe pain) but as pain is healing, suppressing pain slows healing. Their common (over) use is therefore bad.
Germs are ubiquitous, taking abx to kill a bunch of them is absurd – a dumb answer to the wrong question. These are unambiguously bad (like analgesics they can suppress symptoms but do it so harshly that any short term benefit is massively overwhelmed by the long term harm).
Chemo is lunacy and is also unambiguously bad. And they don’t even suppress symptoms – they introduce a whole bunch of new ones.
All vaccines are horrific. Like abx they are a dumb answer to the wrong question. Unlike abx there aren’t even proximal cause stories to indicate that they “work” in any fashion. Their “success” is entirely predicated on the most obviously hopeless statistics imaginable.

Nup, it’s just about crooks like Trump who make nine-figure sums in illegal profit from bank fraud.
How can it be “bank fraud” when they testify in your favour?
BTW, I would agree that sometimes medications are used to treat what appears to be a condition, when in fact it is possibly a symptom of something else.
Two examples from within my circle:-
1. Sudden unexplained BP increase (as in, normal to 175/100 ish overnight). Medication increased to treat acute hypertension. Twelve months later massive tumour found in one kidney.
2. Again, sudden unexplained spike in blood sugars. Diabetes medication increased massively but didn’t quite fix it. Nek minnit, serious pancreatic issues surface.
Were the BP and blood sugar spikes portents of the other more sinister things?
Who knows?
But I think GPs use medication as the first tool in the armoury rather than asking why two relatively fit and healthy people with well controlled and mild chronic conditions suddenly present with off-the-charts symptoms.
Fatboy, the banks lent the money based on their own valuations of the properties and what Trump did is 100% no different that what every single developer does in NY, Again, they did not rely on any of Trump’s valuations.
The ugly obese black bint needs to be in jail. She actually campaigned on going after Trump when there was absolutely no evidence of a crime. That’s illegal except in places like to old Soviet Union. “Show me the man and I will show you the crime”.
Doesn’t matter what process the banks went through, submitting material misstatements a.k.a. fraud that results in getting bigger loans or making more profits is subject to prosecution. Not seeing anyone stand up for Trump on this matter or provide $$$ to help fund his appeal … everyone in NY knows Trump family are fraudsters from decades back.
You’re lying. No one was convicted of fraud, his tax records are squeaky clean and being sued for a civil penalty by summary judgment then a trial for damages?
Loopy stuff.
A curious GP is worth their weight in gold
I suspect our increasingly socialised medical system actively works against such individuals.

Quite so.
As well as a GP who recognises they are out of their depth and bumps you on to the person most likely to make an accurate diagnosis.
Trump has been convicted of bank fraud. His fine is based in part on the interest saved by underquoting the value of his properties, and part on the extra profits obtained by having the bonus cash on hand to do other deals. The second part is cheeky by Tish, no doubt, but when you’re dealing with Al Capone type figures like Trump you have to assume the whole operation is built around crime. Saves time that way.
That’s weird since the banks he was supposed to’ve defrauded testified in his defense.
You’re very funny Monty. I do hope no one wants to persecute you by using lawfare to steal your assets.
er… I’m pretty sure you’ll find it was alleged over-valuing
is there anything you get correct numb-nuts?
That’s their job.
But they need to be curious enough to order the appropriate test, the result of which then warrants a specialist referral, in the first instance.
Writing a script and saying “come back if it doesn’t improve” was the lazy way out in the cases you cite.
Roger at 5:22.
Exactly.
I had a GP who had an initial gut feel what a problem was, but wasn’t 100% sure, so shunted me down to the local ED with a referral letter.
Diagnosis within four hours, and not what he thought, even though his was a reasonable hypothesis which fitted the blood results.
He could have fired me off to a specialist who would have given a “nothing to see here” and it might have taken weeks or months to get it right.
What is happening to Trump is not about Trump but about everyone
How do you feel about crooks like Pelosi, who made millions tgrough illegal insider trading?
PS, how do you explain the various banks denying that they had been defrauded at all, let alone into the hundreds of millions?
Doesn’t Fat Boy have one or two “investment”(ie, slumlord) properties? When he borrowed to finance them, did the banks accept his valuations? Were they accurate, or did he defraud the banks with his own valuations?
How do you feel about crooks like Pelosi, who made millions through illegal insider trading?
That’s not in the demonrat talking points the fat creep pollutes this blog with. Certainly shows the moral exhaustion, stupidity, uselessness and plain nastiness of the modern left
Monty
I thought he was convicted of overvaluing his properties now you’re saying he undervalued them!
Neither are actually real things – let alone crimes – but it’s interesting that you don’t really care what he did just as long as he is found guilty of something.
If Trump and the Republicans win in November will you be happy if they charge every Democrats with treason Monty? As long as there’s a conviction you’ll no doubt accept it if Pelosi and Schumer and James and Engoron and Willis are all thrown in jail. Rule of law and all that.
Trump has been convicted of bank fraud.
Bullshit dickless. 63:12 has nothing to do with banks. In any event the banks testified they had not been defrauded. This is a victimless crime with no quantifiable loss because the banks set their interest rate to Trump on their own recognizance of his assets and value as a borrower. Letitia and that weirdo judge are simply self declared political hacks; and you’re dickless vermin.

I see nasty Barker boy Garret in the news again- saw the ugly face on some shitty magazine at the Truckstop this morning. Also an interview Leigh Sales (Sales said with a snarl). Just eff off.
Promoting a new album, I believe.
Nice to see the ABC giving him free publicity.
Ah I see- after the death of the pink bats installers you think Garrett would just go away.
For my sins I read the interview.
In it he says he doesn’t go in for self-reflection.
Pretty revealing.
Indeed- a very nasty piece of work and a media darling.
It goes to show how stupid Aussies are when the best they’ve ever been voting for a rabble like the Lying Labor Liars.
What a stupid thing to say
It’s all for the cause, right? – Michael Smith News– Dick Tracey not happy. What horrible spoilt people.
Were the Great Escape prisoners ‘betrayed by their own side’?
The Great Escape wasn’t so great in the end. Almost all the Allied participants in the breakout from a German prisoner-of-war camp were captured and most were murdered.
It has always looked as if the plan went wrong, but what if something more sinister was at work? Had the Great Escapers been betrayed?
A newly uncovered document in British National Archives has revealed that Flight Lieutenant Desmond Plunkett, the map-maker and 13th man out of the camp, believed the Great Escape had been brought down by its own side.
When the war was over, Plunkett told the British authorities that two unnamed Englishmen had betrayed the plan to the Nazis and condemned their comrades to death.
The discovery comes in time for this weekend’s 80th anniversary of the escape from Stalag Luft III, on the night of March 24, 1944. After a year digging tunnels, 76 prisoners broke out of the camp but only three made it to freedom. The rest were recaptured, and 50 were killed on the direct orders of Adolf Hitler.
The story was immortalised in the 1963 film The Great Escape, starring Steve McQueen and Richard Attenborough. Plunkett was one of the inspirations for Colin Blythe, the character played by Donald Pleasence. He had made about 2500 maps for the escape and volunteered to be the 13th man out of the camp, because no one else would take the ill-favoured number.
In the end, he was lucky to stay alive after being captured near the Austrian border and interrogated by the Gestapo. He was moved to Stalag Luft I and liberated at the end of the war. After being freed, he was given a questionnaire to fill out, as were all returning prisoners of war, and this is the document that has now come to light. In it, Plunkett directly suggests that two people betrayed the escapers and urges that they be tracked down. “There are two individuals … whose activities have a direct bearing on the fate of the 50 executed prisoners of war,” he wrote in 1945. “These two persons must be traced, as both are undoubtedly indigenous Englishmen, and must be tried for their collaborating activities with the enemy.”
That the escapers may have been betrayed had long weighed on Plunkett’s mind, as he thought that he himself might have let his comrades down.
“There’s a suggestion that he blamed himself for the executions of the 50 by accidentally saying something in interrogation,” said Will Butler, the National Archives’ military expert. However, his peers assured Plunkett that the escape was blown long before he succumbed to Nazi interrogation.
Plunkett’s accusation is striking, but historians believe it tells us more about the toll that imprisonment and Gestapo interrogation had taken on him than it does about the failure of the escape.
“This is a curious claim by Plunkett,” said Guy Walters, author of The Real Great Escape. “He certainly doesn’t repeat it in his book, and I think his treatment at the hands of the Gestapo and his subsequent breakdown may have contributed to a sense of paranoia.”
Walters accepts that some PoWs did collaborate with their Nazi captors, but it seems hard to see how this might have contributed to the Great Escape’s downfall once the prisoners were out of the camp.
“Certainly, there were a few rotten apples among the PoW population, but it is hard to see how the actions of two supposedly treacherous individuals could have led to the murders of 50 of the escapers,” he said. “Although I’d hate to take issue with any of the brave men on the escape, I believe Plunkett is mistaken.”
Historian James Holland said the plan failed because it was hard for a bunch of Englishmen in Nazi Germany to evade capture.
“Everyone was super-alert and aware of strangers,” he said. “In a town where there were lots of people, you stood out like a sore thumb.”
Holland also feels that the questionnaire is more likely an insight into a tortured mind than it is a smoking gun for a conspiracy theory. “There’s a lot of bitterness if you’re a prisoner of war for that length of time, and bitterness and guilt about the fact that 50 of them got executed,” Holland said. “Those feelings of resentment are entirely understandable, but it doesn’t mean to say that just because someone has accused someone else of betraying them that it’s correct.”
Plunkett’s questionnaire was found as the National Archives prepared for its exhibition, Great Escapes: Remarkable Second World War Captives. Also among the records is another questionnaire, filled out by Donald Pleasence himself, who not only portrayed a PoW in The Great Escape but actually was one, having been shot down in an RAF bomber over France in 1944.
THE TIMES
80 years…will have to watch the movie over the weekend.
I suppose it could be nitpicked for accuracy but it’s a cracker of a story.
If Trump and the Republicans win in November will you be happy if they charge every Democrats with treason Monty? As long as there’s a conviction you’ll no doubt accept it if Pelosi and Schumer and James and Engoron and Willis are all thrown in jail. Rule of law and all that.
Isn’t the death penalty still on the books for treason in the USA? Maybe they could throw these commies out of helicopters. They would make a fortune on pay per view.
I have heard it said that the Commish can indeed sack any jack at any time, if she is sufficiently convinced that she’s lost confidence in said jack.
Usually (apparently), when charged with something a jack is suspended with pay until a committal has finished, and then once a magistrate says there is a reasonable chance of a finding of guilt by a properly instructed jury, then the pay’s cut off.
Generally, I have heard, the jack resigns early on in the process – thus making it a moot point. Ex-Sergeant Neil Mellon in the NT, charged with perverting the course of justice when one of Matt Wright’s choppers crashed and killed the bloke slung underneath it is an example.
This is not the usual thing, however. If this mincer is boxed in completely by a pile of evidence – so much so that the Homicide Squad charges the bloke with murder – well, if I was the Commish I would want this as far away from me as I could and would sack him as soon as he was charged, and at the very least as soon as he spilled on where the bodies were.
It smacks of hesitancy from a Nanna masquerading as a Chieffa Po-Lice who is so unsure of her next step she does nothing, which makes the optics worse.
Nanna Webb’s in the departure lounge. Back it in.
Yeah but still has to be done according to the usual administrative law principles. The fuzz are a particular case,as was found to be so in the WA Covid court case.
KD at 7:10.
It seems the smart money on sacking Constable Hyphen-Soyboy would be to scratch around and find something sackable but unrelated to the mudder charge to avoid any presumption of innocence questions.
Where would I go?
Firstly, soshul meeja posts clearly in breach of policy.
Secondly get IT to look up his database search history. I would be gobsmacked if it transpired he had NOT been looking up the rego of gay hunks he had seen driving around.
Thirdly, something indirectly related to the mudder (e.g. the protocols around weapons).
Absolutely would have been covered during the investigation – in fact, I would be surprised if that hadn’t have been one of the first boxes ticked, along with all his socials.
‘Lost confidence’ is a subjective term, which is why I am astonished that – given the circumstances – LaMoida hadn’t been sacked earlier.
Nanna Webb. Flailing to the end.
It appears one of the targets in Ukraine today was the Dnipro hydroelectric dam. From what I’ve seen, it won’t be producing electricity anytime soon. Engine room kaput.

Top Perth lawyer Tony Elliot ordered to pay $20,000 for botched defence of innocent man Steven Jeffery

One of Perth’s most prominent lawyers has been given a dressing down — and been ordered to pay $20,000 in fines and costs — after admitting “serious shortcomings” in his representation of man who was jailed for 11 months for a crime he did not commit.
In 2017, Steven Scott Jeffery was convicted of a sex attack on a 13-year-old girl, who told a court she had been touched inappropriately while sitting at a lunch table surrounded by adults and other children.
Mr Jeffery vehemently denied the offence had taken place — before, during and after his trial.
And that defence was put forward by experienced barrister Tony Elliott, who was part of the defence team for Lloyd Rayney, and in the same year was made President of the Criminal Lawyers Association.
In a verdict which devastated Mr Jeffery he was found guilty, and sentenced to three years inside.
And shortly after, he appealed, partly on the basis that his lawyers had run his case incompetently.
In an extremely rare ruling from the WA Court of Appeal, three judges agreed with the argument put forward by former WA governor Malcolm McCusker and ordered a retrial.
The prosecution was then abandoned. But not before Mr Jeffery had spent 11 months in prison, sharing space with notorious killers including Dante Arthurs and Bradley Edwards
But the comments made by WA’s highest court remained damning.
“In our view, the appellant has demonstrated that he suffered a miscarriage of justice because of the inadequate advice given to him by his legal advisers,” the Court of Appeal ruled.
“The case theory suffered from an insurmountable defect: it was completely unsupported by the evidence. In our opinion, no competent counsel would reasonably have formulated the case theory which (Mr Elliott) put before the jury.”
Now, a ruling published by the State Administrative Tribunal has revealed that Mr Elliott has been found guilty of professional misconduct and unsatisfactory professional conduct.
That finding was not accompanied by a suspension from practice — which it could have been.
Instead, Mr Elliott was publicly reprimanded, fined $12,500 and ordered to pay $7,500 in costs
Miltonf, what is stupid about saying Aussies are stupid for voting for the liars, who prove every day to be useless.

As the parade got in full swing, and the land troops marched in their endless formations, Alexander remarked:
“Comrade Brezhnev, with these fine soldiers in my command, I would have finished my conquest of Asia!”
Leonid cracked a smile, and toasted 100g of vodka with Alexander, pleased at the praise.
—
On it went, and as the proud fighter jet pilots whooshed through the sky above, Julius was watching with hawkish impression, then exclaimed;
“Comrade Brezhnev, if I would have had your air force, I would have conquered the whole world!”
Leonid guffawed loudly, poured another 100g of vodka to toast with Julius, visibly glowing.

Then everybody’s eyes went to Napoleon, who had said nothing. He was holding a copy of Pravda, the main newspaper of Soviet Union, and seemed to be inspecting it thoroughly.
Moments passed, until Brezhnev harrumphed extensively to gain Napoleon’s attention.
for a few seconds longer, Napoleon remained still, then turned to the trio, with his eyes completely wide open as if in disbelief or marvel.. and with the utmost reverence, stated slowly:
?“Comrade Brezhnev! If I would have had a newspaper like this in my day, nobody need ever have found out that I lost in Waterloo!”
