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.

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.

More reasons never to fly Qantas.

Qantas passenger complains about meal that critics say looks like ‘prison food’ (21 Mar)

A Qantas spokeswoman said the airline was “incredibly disappointed” with how the meal was presented.

“We pride ourselves on delivering enjoyable dining experiences and this falls well short of our high standards,” she said.

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.

Bamboo does not help tastewise. I dream of greenies having to undergo the catheter experience, I’d give them a choice of glass or bamboo to replace plastic.

Roger this is what you get when you don’t know where your preferences go.just about all the micro parties go to the Liars or the Greenfilth.

UN secretary-general youth climate adviser calls for Whites to be stripped of power in ‘revolutionary fights.’ (21 Mar)

The United Nations’ Secretary-General António Guterres personally selected Pakistani-American Ayisha Siddiqa as one of his advisers to help “accelerat[e] the implementation of his climate action agenda,” a 2023 UN announcement stated. Siddiqa was a Time Woman of the Year in 2023 who has co-founded two youth climate activist organizations.

…

According to her social media posts, Siddiqa is more than an environmentalist. She unabashedly promotes radical leftist beliefs like abolishing the police, espousing socialist ideals, sharing Marxist-themed and anti-capitalist content while repeatedly denigrating White people.

These people keep on giving more and more proof that Blair’s Law is real.

Rabz the UN now, and bulldoze it into the East River. Then salt the earth where it infested the US for so long.

Future nuclear power reactors could rely on molten salts—but what about corrosion? (TechXplore, 21 Mar)

For decades, researchers have been working on designs for both fission and fusion nuclear reactors using molten salts as fuels or coolants. While those designs promise significant safety and performance advantages, there’s a catch: Molten salt and the impurities within it often corrode metals, ultimately causing them to crack, weaken, and fail.

…

Short and Weiyue Zhou Ph.D. ’21, a postdoc in the PSFC, has been investigating that question for eight years. Their recent experimental findings show that certain alloys will corrode more slowly when they’re irradiated—and identifying them among all the available commercial alloys can be straightforward.

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.

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.

What is happening to Trump is not about Trump but about everyone

Nup, it’s just about crooks like Trump who make nine-figure sums in illegal profit from bank fraud.

So if the top cop was going to do this, why didn’t she do it weeks ago?

The off-duty police officer accused of killing two men has been sacked from the NSW Police Force.

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.
