Yes, the fact the terrorists didn’t take the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to claim their 76 virgins right then and there, righteously covered in the blood of the many slain infidel, strongly suggests these people weren’t Islamic fundamentalists.
OCO, it appears to me they were recruited as patsies even if the front of house here was ISIS. It will be interesting to see how this pans out over the next week or more but I reckon there are some very nervous people atm and they’re not in Central Asia.

Too close to the truth with that painting Dover
Early morning funny courtesy of the Hun:
ABC chair Kim Williams has warned journalists that activism is not welcome at the taxpayer-funded broadcaster and if reporters fail to observe impartiality guidelines they should leave the organisation.
Mr Williams, who commenced as ABC chair two weeks ago after the conclusion of Ita Buttrose’s term, said he had little tolerance for reporters who failed to be objective and stressed the importance of staff always aspiring to be “fair-minded”.
“If you don’t want to reflect a view that aspires to impartiality don’t work at the ABC,” he said in a recent episode of the Fourth Estate podcast with host Monica Att“I really think this is a very serious issue.
“This is a publicly funded organisation, it is a publicly accountable organisation, it is a respondent to legislation to the national parliament and it must always aspire to be as fair-minded in its work as it possibly can be.”
In the 2022-23 financial year the ABC received $1.07bn in annual funding.
Under its editorial policies it has a statutory duty to ensure the gathering and presentation of news and information is impartial and it reflects the standards required for objective journIn the podcast, Mr Williams also highlighted the importance of public interest journalism.
“It needs to ensure that there is a very conscious movement to better reflect the panoply of Australian society and its journalistic workforce,” Mr Williams said.
“But that doesn’t give people a leave pass to abandon the aspiration to impartiality. That’s just not available for discussion nor should it be.”
In the candid 30-minute discussion with Attard, Mr Williams raised his concerns about the use of social media by ABC staff, which has at times been problematic for the organisation.
The ABC suffered damaging fallout in 2021 from a defamation action by former Liberal MP Andrew Laming against Four Corners journalist Louise Milligan, who falsely accused him on X, formerly Twitter, of upskirting a woman. That matter cost taxpayers more than $200,000, including $79,000 in damages.
“I have to say to you that I have a deep and abiding and growing scepticism about the value of social media,” Mr Williams said.
There’s a bit more in the article but you get the idea. I expect a few more poxy strikes from these vermin and a continued up yours to the public that pay their bloated wages.
if reporters fail to observe impartiality guidelines they should leave the organisation.
Then they will be truly independent rather than tax-eating parasites.

I really want to go to the basilica of St Denis, I’ll wait until I’m travelling with someone else though.?
I visited the basilica of St Denis at Christmas 2007 with my wife and 3 teenage children.
It is of great significance as many French kings are buried in the crypt including Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette.
The walk to and from the metro station was the most nervous I have ever been in a foreign city. We just looked straight ahead making no eye contact with anyone.
The basilica must miss a huge amount of visitors because it is viewed as unsafe. A great pity considering it’s historical significance.

Can you imagine the squealing of the fat freak slumlord if he was in court on “Trumped” up charges. Did the milko stay over last night?
Will his latest nonsense finally get Bruce Pascoe sacked as Melbourne University’s Professor of ‘Indigenous Agriculture’?
Fake Aboriginal Bruce Pascoe has already proved there’s almost no lie or fantasy about Aboriginal history – or his own – that’s too much for our politicians, academics, writers festivals and the ABC to swallow.
Yet he’ll now test their credulity to breaking point with a new book about his farm: Black Duck: A Year at Yumburra.
Pascoe writes that Aboriginals ran this country “perfectly for 100,000 years” – yes, 100,000 years – and to end their disadvantage we must “develop a truly Australian cuisine based on the old food production techniques”, and pay them for the produce.
Indeed, Pascoe boasts, “we actually perform these miracles” on his farm near Mallacoota.
As if. Let this book be the final test of our cultural elite that has promoted and protected Pascoe for so long, selling him as an Aboriginal when genealogical records show all his ancestors are of British descent, and showering him with praise and prizes for his fake history, Dark Emu, in which he falsely claims pre-colonial Aboriginals were really farmers living in houses in towns of 1000 people.
But let’s look at how Pascoe has rowed his boat out even further with this latest book, starting with his claim that Aboriginals were here for 100,000 years.
Pardon? Activists today boast Aboriginals were actually here for 65,000 years, taking strange pride in claiming this is the “oldest continuous culture on earth”, as if the rest of the world were losers for having seen the rise of great empires – the Egyptian, Chinese, Athenian, Roman, British – and been changed by all they discovered and built.
Hear it from the Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese: “The historic fact that Australia’s story is 65,000 years old remains a source of national pride and remains a fact.”
Well, actually, even 65,000 years of Aboriginal settlement isn’t really a “fact”.
It was long thought Aboriginals were here for no more than 45,000 years, until Professor Chris Clarkson and others claimed in 2017 to have found a hearth at Madjedbebe, in the Northern Territory, that showed the occupation of Australia by “modern humans out of Africa … began around 65,000 years ago”.
Pardon? Two papers since, by Professor Emeritus Jim Allen and by nine scientists led by Distinguished Professor Emeritus James O’Connell, say they don’t believe it.
Why was this 65,000-year date confirmed only by testing the sand grains around the hearth, and not the carbon residue? Why does no other site of Aboriginal occupation come within 15,000 years of this new date?
Hadn’t the hearth simply been settled deeper in very sandy soil, deeper into the older levels, by the heavy rainfall of tens of thousands of years of wet seasons, plus the burrowing of the termites so common there?
In fact, it’s generally accepted that human beings like us – and Aboriginals – with our telltale genes from interbreeding with Neanderthals spread across Eurasia from Africa and Southwest Asia only about 50,000 to 55,000 years ago.
A group of 18 Aboriginal men even had their DNA tested with Family Tree DNA, and found their common ancestor lived 65,000 years ago, and not in Australia but probably still in the Horn of Africa.
Still, facts never were Pascoe’s strong suit. He sells dreams, and this time he dreams Aboriginals will finally thrive when the rest of us eat “truly Australian cuisine”, and “think nothing of eating … kangaroo grass bread”. He and his family already “perform these miracles on the farm”.
Some miracle. Even if you like the taste of kangaroo grass, it still costs a fortune because its yields are so low. One kilogram of wheat flour at Coles costs just $1.40, but one kilogram of kangaroo and spear grass flour from Pascoe’s farm is $360 – despite charities and taxpayers giving Pascoe more than $2m to help make it.
But watch. Will his latest nonsense finally get Pascoe sacked as Melbourne University’s Professor of “Indigenous Agriculture”? Will the ABC now disown its hero?
Pascoe is testing again our cultural elite’s commitment to telling the truth. I’m betting on another fail.

There are a couple more but I will leave you with the flogs flog, Craig Foster:
Attacks on journalists, whenever and wherever they occur, grossly threaten our right to meaningfully participate in decision making.
Er Mr Foster, your role as a journalist is to provide information on the sport you are covering, not be involved in decision making of any kind, except to vote for one of your mates to accept some gong.
I’m sure Putin is quivering from these comments. Good Lord.
The above Indolent comment reminds me.
People who take direct medical advice from blogs should use extreme caution.
A person who I won’t name, but was a commenter, and had been banned on the old Catallaxy, received medical advice from another commenter who ironically had also been banned from the old Catallaxy. The advice was to ignore medical guidance with taking medication for a serious illness. That person is now supposedly dead.

As I said the other day, I had abominable surgery recently, and the surgeon removed a couple of tumours.
I asked him, “Were they turbo-charged tumours?”
“What are you talking about?” he replied. “No, they weren’t turbocharged, whatever that means”.
Next day he brings in some scans I had done five years ago for something else which he had dredged out of archives.
“See that there?” he says, pointing to a tiny spot on the image. “That was the very beginning of one of those tumours. Growing slowly for five years”.
I reckon it was photo-shopped as a cover up.
You can’t trust them.

The person had a bunch of health issues and was highly susceptible to free advice from the innernet.
Specifically I think it was medication for kidney function which was the subject of the free advice, and I think the advice was also not to let on to the doctors that you are not taking the meds.
So you rush to ED with failing kidneys and lie about your medication, so the medicos are scratching their heads as to what is causing the failure.

Dick Smith has been a greenie for fifty years at least.

He was well liked and used to give our school items to raffle, from his shops including a heated toilet seat which amused us kids.

Currently listening to Sapiens as an audiobook. Aboriginals hunted 23 of 24 species of megafauna to extinction and irreversibly changed the flora of this country. Bruce is on pretty thin ground, as usual.
He is just polishing up a work where he explains that a particular element of some myth records the Big Bang, which Aborigines observed.
So, does anyone have any confidence in the prospect of the new ABC CEO’s actions measuring up to his rhetoric?
Or is this just some tired ritual perfunctorily run through to a god they don’t believe in for a goal they have no intention of striving for?
It just seems impossible to rehabilitate the ABC. If it were a matter of cutting away diseased cankers from healthy tissue then that would be one thing. I think however that there is no healthy tissue and the ABC is rot and infection all the way through.
All Trump needs to do is squat on those properties. That will tie up her actions for years.

There are a lot of people on Twitter saying the attack on Moscow was likely Mossad/US.
Wouldn’t you think that, even if there was a hint of US involvement, the Russian propaganda machine would be all over it?

If you are going to make this claim as a state you are going to want to be across the facts pretty well. Also, your audience isn’t going to be the Russian public, or even world opinion, its going to be other states. Also, the ramifications of such a thing are so serious that making the claim can generate a momentum of its own. Take for example, the reticence of the NATO countries to delve into the actual perpetrator/s of the Nord Stream sabotage publicly.
Interesting, from the Australian Electoral Act 1918:
(8) A person who:
(a) by reason of being of unsound mind, is incapable of understanding the nature and significance of enrolment and voting is not entitled to have his or her name placed or retained on any Roll or to vote at any Senate election or House of Representatives election
So, Muntard, you’re not entitled to vote.
This is about the third or fourth time you’ve used the Nordstream blow-up to somehow imply the terror attack is in someway connected to Western state actors. Except Nordstream didn’t kill 140 people and left 100s injured from bullet holes.
The one example you’ve steering well clear of is the accusation by Kasparov, and is closer to the mark if you’re looking for state actors.
Pretty much a given that Putin and the FSB were responsible then. Why not now?
Tanya Plebersuck should use the existing Environmental Laws to ban all Wind Towers and Solar Factories and the Transmission lines to ever be built.

No, I mentioned Nord Stream above as an example of state actors avoiding claims that incriminate other states because the implications of doing so are serious. BTW, the ‘except’ is irrelevant; the point applies to manifestly harming a state interests which isn’t limited to killing or maiming its citizens at home.
I think I actually dealt with the ‘false flag’ claim a couple of days earlier. Why would Putin conduct a false flag after an election? Makes no sense. If the claim is though that its not in order to win the election but to cultivate support for an intensification of the war in Ukraine after the election, why use Tajiks? Why capture them rather than kill them? Also, an attack immediately following the election has opened criticism that he and the Russian state are unable to protect its citizens. NYT was running with this line over the weekend. Sorry, failing any evidence to the contrary, this claim is a dead letter.
Sanch, good to hear they got the bad bits out-
re medical imaging, we’ve spent the last week looking at both xray and ct scans of my dog’s wonky legs, and I seriously can’t tell how the docs can pick out anything without simply years and years of experience, and even then, one will see something that another can’t, or more confusingly, interpret something 180 degrees from another interpretation. And we’re talking the relatively hard matter of bones and ligaments. If you’re looking for bogeys amongst soft tissue, muscle, membranes, organs and gizzards it must be like slicing a micron-thin slice of a meat pie and trying to figure out if the greyish-brown bit buried in all the other brownish-grey stuff is meat, earlobe, lip or gristle. Or mushroom. Or rat.
And then trying to guesstimate what roadhouse hot counter it came from, and when.
Hahahahhaha What election? The one where Putin received 87% of the vote? Don’t make people laugh.
Former special forces commando cleared of assault after ‘inconsistencies’ found in case
theaustralian.com.au09:41
By lauren ferri
and clareese packer
Former special forces commando Heston Russell has been cleared of common assault after a magistrate declared he did not drunkenly punch a man at an inner Sydney pool party.
The 38-year-old had drank half a bottle of tequila at the Woolloomooloo party on January 2, 2022, before he threatened fellow partygoer Steven Pate, saying “I’m going to throw you over the balcony”.
But he denied punching Mr Pate during the heated incident, which took place at a Cowper Wharf Road rooftop pool party after the group had been on a Sydney Harbour yacht drinking since 11am.
Mr Russell, a one-time Senate candidate and veterans’ advocate, pleaded not guilty to one count of common assault and faced a two-day hearing last year.
Magistrate Margaret Quinn on Monday found him not guilty of the charge.
If the election/ public support didn’t matter why engage in a false flag? You’re undermining your own claim.

Factoring in of course, the fact that ‘their physician’ is only allowed (upon threat of AHPRA sanction), to parrot official government propaganda (aka Pfizer approved information), and if they want impartial medical advice, they need to consult a de-registered Dr.

Putin Blames Everyone Except Islam for Islamic Terrorist Attack (24 Mar)
One thing not discussed by him or anyone else is the Islamists would just love to get a nuclear war going, so attacking Russia and fingering Ukraine/Mossad/CIA would be in character.
Elections matter, even if they’re rigged, else why hold them?
Hypocrisy is the tribute vice pays to virtue.
Although hypocrisy would seem to be the least of Putin’s vices.
Without US support, Israel would have run out of munitions months ago. There is also the financial and diplomatic support its getting from the US and in turn diplomatic and geostrategic heat the US is coping for supporting Israel.
“, and if they want impartial medical advice, they need to consult a de-registered Dr.”
Really, and this deregistered doctor is going to be able to order tests, prescribe medication, organise referrals etc.
I know; they are so brilliant they can look at an internet photo of the age spots and discolouration on a nonagenarian’s hands two days before her death of old age and declare her death was really from ‘blood cancer’!
If that holds true, it only applies to vax related issues.
The issue under discussion was a former poster here who I think had serious kidney issues, and another moron advised her to ditch her kidney meds and lie to the docs about the fact that she wasn’t taking the meds. There is zero Pfizer-Pfactor at play in that one.
We don’t know what happened, but she went from posting 24/7 on various sites to MIA overnight.
Seriously, Duk, leaving aside the Pfizer-Pfactor, would you, not being a specialist nephro-guy, advise someone sight unseen on a blog to ditch medication prescribed to counter kidney disease?
The point JC was making is that there are real world consequences of this sort of reckless “advice”, and the scepticism pendulum can swing too far.

For those that think Drs can read scans or X-rays well, think again. My case only, so many varied orthopaedic operations over my lifetime. The very first one 50 years ago the surgeon almost cancelled the operation coz I wasn’t in enough pain. Afterwards he said the X-rays hadn’t shown the extent of the damage. Rince and repeat every other operation since. Supposed one hour op on my shoulder resulted in a two hr op due to same. One and a half hour op on my neck ended up 5 1/2 hrs with one of the discs being mush. Didn’t show up on the MRI. TKR both legs the surgeon didn’t know how I could still walk with the meniscus being non-existent. Pain being subjective does make it difficult to assess the extent of injuries.
‘Pain being subjective’
Preach it.
Saddam held “elections,” the Soviet Union held “elections,” and Putin’s buddies, Iran and China, hold “elections.” There’s nothing extraordinary about holding sham elections.
You’ve been the one bringing up state actors and pointing a half-hidden finger toward the West and Ukraine.
The West wasn’t involved, and the likelihood of Ukraine being involved is also extremely low. If Ukriane’s Western backers found out, they would lose all support over something as evil as this. Having speculated about state actors, the individual, and the state intel apparatus that has a history of killing its own people, are the FSA and Putin in the attack mentioned earlier. Therefore, the only two likely scenarios would have to be ISIS and Putin. Take your pick.
Now, was the Russian election a sham, as you haven’t answered the question and keep skipping over?

ACT Greens Attorney-General Shane Rattenbury faces significant questions over his #MeToo crusade
8:30PM MARCH 24, 2024
It is the supreme irony that we may have been looking in the wrong place for possible political interference in the way law-enforcement officers in the ACT conduct prosecutions of sexual assault cases.
It was Shane Drumgold who first made explosive allegations that there had been political interference, specifically by Senator Linda Reynolds, in relation to the investigation and prosecution of Bruce Lehrmann for the alleged rape of Brittany Higgins.
Drumgold’s allegation was found by Walter Sofronoff KC to be utterly without merit. So much so that Drumgold was forced into a humiliating withdrawal of the allegations and Reynolds won a grovelling apology and damages from the ACT government when she sued it and Drumgold for defamation over the allegations.
Now, there are new and bigger questions. And the politician whose conduct deserves further investigation is ACT Attorney-General Shane Rattenbury.
Our news story raises significant questions.
By hauling the ACT Acting Director of Public Prosecutions Anthony Williamson SC into his office in late January, did Rattenbury expressly or impliedly use political influence to try to keep undeserving prosecutions alive?
That Rattenbury could have questioned Williamson about the discontinuation of sexual-assault cases at a time when he was actively considering whether Williamson should be appointed as DPP on a permanent basis is disturbing. Does the Attorney-General understand that the proper administration of justice demands that the DPP is an independent statutory office and must remain independent from the government and the politics of the day?
Why would Rattenbury question Williamson about the discontinuation of specific cases?
Was Rattenbury sending Williamson a message that he was watching discontinuations carefully and that it could be a factor in his choice of a permanent DPP?
Though Rattenbury says a selection panel, and cabinet, picked Victoria Engel SC as the new chief prosecutor for the ACT, does Rattenbury’s involvement mean that many might think the chosen person was regarded as more likely than other candidates to run as many sexual-assault cases as possible even if they have dubious prospects of success?
Discontinuation of sexual-assault cases is not done lightly. There is a lengthy and robust process before any such decision is made. A discontinuation may, by far, be the best course of action not merely for those wrongly accused of sexual assault, but also because it spares complainants possible humiliation as well as avoiding the burden on our courts, police, jurors and lawyers caused by weak cases that should never have been brought.
Rattenbury is, of course, a member of the Greens, whose political base is full of activist feminists who trumpet the “believe all women” mantra and want much higher levels of prosecutions and convictions for sexual-assault cases. With ACT elections in October, no doubt Rattenbury will be mindful that many of his potential voters hate the discontinuation of sexual-assault prosecutions. Whether he goes too far to keep his base happy is the question that the public deserve to have answered.
This is a most serious issue all over the country. Judge Robert Newlinds, a NSW District Court judge, expressed the fear that grips many rational observers about the way DPPs around the country are running sexual-assault trials. He recorded his “deep level of concern that there is some sort of unwritten policy or expectation in place in the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions of this state to the effect that if any person alleges that they have been the subject of some sort sexual assault then that case is prosecuted without a sensible and rational interrogation of that complainant so as to be satisfied that they have a reasonable basis for making that allegation”.
In the ACT, however, the concern runs even deeper. Not only should voters be asking how and why prosecutors get appointed, and how and why sexual-assault cases are commenced, but they need to be asking serious questions about how these cases are conducted once they get to court.
On the evidence of Drumgold’s admissions, we know he withheld evidence from Lehrmann’s defence team that they were entitled to, that he misled the Chief Justice in the course of the trial and that he procured his most junior employee to swear a false affidavit. God only knows what we don’t know.
Drumgold’s misbehaviour should not taint other ACT prosecutors who behave professionally while carrying out their important roles. However, Drumgold’s former status as chief prosecutor and his ability to direct more junior employees does raise questions about the culture of the Office of the DPP.
There are other pointers to systemic failure in the ACT. As The Australian has reported, when Lehrmann sought legal aid in the ACT, he was told that the Legal Aid lawyers would not challenge the complainant’s credibility. In other words, if you are poor and an alleged perpetrator of sexual assault in the ACT, you can forget about getting legal aid to run a proper defence.
Even more concerning is that, as far as we can tell, none of the official pillars of the ACT justice system – from the Chief Justice down to the ACT Bar Association – has yet taken any measures to discipline Drumgold for his admitted misconduct.
Is this a sign that legal luminaries in the ACT are willing to turn a blind eye to the fact that a chief prosecutor misled the Chief Justice in the course of a trial, withheld evidence the defence was entitled to and connived at the swearing of a false affidavit? For so long as there is silence from lawyers charged with overseeing the administration of justice about serious questions hanging over the ACT justice system, there will remain a serious whiff of class warfare in the ACT air.
Rattenbury’s hard-line ideological determination – aided and abetted by the radical adherents of the #MeToo movement, to get prosecution rates up apparently without apparent regard to the disastrous consequences of failed prosecutions not merely on complainants and alleged perpetrators but on police, judges and juries – makes us wonder what is really going on here.
Is this a case where young males have become the 21st century Kulaks, a despised class enemy whom the government feels entitled to persecute at will?
If you are in any doubt about this, visit any decent sized ED on a Saturday night and observe the antics on display in the hope of procuring a bit of good pain relief gear.
This was years ago when I read this. Imaging was about a 50/50 guess. I believe imaging has improved immensely since then. I suspect imaging, especially for nasties is the first port of call. The definitive proof would then be a biopsy. Imaging could show a lump or some tissue distortion etc, but only a biopsy is the gold standard I would presume.
Well. One post today that snuck by Moderation.
I don’t suppose there’s a switch to open all the replies by default? Because this layout means I’m jumping all over the place finding replies. It’s like being born in 1980, getting married in 1857, having children in 2031, 1946, 1952 & 1894. And finally dying in 1858.
Then handing the whole bloody mess to a genealogist to make sense of.
I see you’re continuing to ignore the pointlessness of false flags if elections/ public support are irrelevant or is there another audience the false flag applies to?
Ukraine used a truck that was unbeknownst to the driver remotely detonated over Kerch Bridge killing him and others travelling on it. They used a present to smuggle in a bomb to a cafe detonating it during the talk; using patsies. They are using cluster munitions in Belgorod, they regularly shelled Donetsk, they burnt over 50 people alive in Odessa, and so on. They could easily do something like this using proxies, and in these other cases the West looked away.
See how this works? The ABC employs the factcheckers that clear it of wrongdoing.
The ABC is a propaganda factory free of any KPIs that require it to perform by any metrics like ratings and launches public attacks on anyone that opposes its funding — the Mafia model.

Anthony Albanese faces a greater threat to his re-election than his predecessors
Having narrowly survived the political curse of Australia Day, which had claimed the leadership of three of his predecessors, Anthony Albanese now faces an even greater curse and threat to his re-election.
It’s not just journalistic hyperbole, it’s an inconvertible fact of political history: no first-term government since World War II has increased its majority at its first re-election attempt, with losses of between three and 20 seats.
This means the Albanese government, with a majority of two – thanks to its historic win in the Aston by-election – has to perform better in its re-election attempt than Robert Menzies embarking on the longest term of government in history; better than Labor’s longest-serving prime minister, Bob Hawke, and better than John Howard as he started Australia’s second-longest prime ministership.
It goes without saying that to stay in majority government the Prime Minister will have to do better than Gough Whitlam who lost 14 seats, Labor’s Julia Gillard, who contested the re-election after Kevin Rudd’s removal and took Labor into minority government, and the Liberal’s Malcolm Turnbull, who wiped out Tony Abbott’s 2013 30-seat victory and left the Coalition on a one-seat knife edge.
The latest Newspoll survey result is a check to Labor’s mid-summer recovery after directing $104bn in tax cuts towards lower and middle-income earners.
According to Newspoll Labor’s primary vote fell from 33 per cent to 32 per cent – its lowest since the crushing to the indigenous voice to parliament referendum last year – curtailing a small recovery and suggesting the hint of a new downward trend.
At the election in May 2022 Labor’s primary vote was 32.6 per cent and relied heavily on Greens’ preferences and independents defeats of Liberal MPs to win the election with a wafer-thin majority.
Albanese, aware of the danger of falling support for a government heading into a new parliamentary year, fought for a recovery so that Labor went into 2024 with renewed momentum.
This Newspoll result suggests that any momentum has stalled and Labor’s task for the election, due to be called in 12 months, is harder than ever as it scrambles to try to clear problems on energy, tax, religion and carbon emissions.
The historical perspective makes the task even harder with no first-term government ever improving its majority and the smallest loss being just three seats – enough to remove the Albanese government.
Hawke, as Labor’s most successful leader, even allowing for a massive 23-seat increase in the size of the House of Representatives in 1984 went from a 30 per cent margin to just 10 per cent.
In 1998 Howard’s GST election decimated Liberal MP ranks and gave Labor a national two-party preferred majority but the massive 1996 victory ensured the first-term Howard government was re-elected.
Even Labor’s historic win in 1972 could not deliver the Whitlam government with more seats and, the man who removed him in 1975 with a landslide, Malcolm Fraser, went backwards in 1977.
Rudd and Abbott never got to contest the first re-election of their governments and both their replacements, Gillard and Turnbull, went badly backwards into minority and bare majority in 2010 and 2016.
Albanese does not have the benefit of a Whitlam, Fraser or Howard landslide, nor even the latitude of Hawke or Menzies, but, he is going to have to outperform them all at the next election just to stay in power.
You have evidence of this, or relying on the Deckchair Warlord, others of that ilk and/or Russian propaganda?
That’s bad, yea?
This wasn’t in the current round of Putin’s attempt at annexing the country, was it?
Putin killed hundreds of his own freaking people and then blamed it on the Chechens. Please don’t get religious all of a sudden, about Ukraine.
Should I list the dirty tricks Russia has used?
Still, the answer to the sham election awaits.
I watched the channel 7, 9 and 2 news last night, and they all parroted the USA line that it was ISIS-K and there was “no evidence, what-so-ever” that the Ukraine was involved, and that Putin was basically lying.
No analysis or input just quoting their USA or Washington reporters who were quoting some US spokesperson (s).
…
Well those 4 boys certainly did an interesting road trip when they high-tailed it out of Moscow.
Did they go south-east east to Kazakhstan and other ‘stans. Nope.
Did they go 370km directly south-west with only 150km left to go till reaching the Ukrainian border? Yep.
…
Mercenaries? Useful dupes? False flag? Who knows?
…
But I must be wrong because the ABC reported today the Kamala said there was no evidence that it was Ukraine. And that ISIS-K had claimed responsibility. And Kamala would never be sent out to lie to the media would she?
Not the President, not the Secretary of Defense, not the CIA chief, not the NSA chief. Nope. Kamala!
…
I bet old Joh Bjelke Petersen has a self-satisfied grin on his face, “feeding the chooks” of the media has never been easier.
…
P.S. Perhaps that map going round the internet is fake, but the the ABC can be “fair minded” and explain how it is fake.
JC, I’ve had every sort of scan and any sort of soft tissue image is still poorly represented. Usually as a contrast to bones. I always tell them I don’t scan well, yeah thanks GreyRanga but the adults are in charge here. To be told later, you don’t scan well. Que! I must remember to tell you that next time, like all the other times you paid no attention to me.
NBC hired Ronna McDaniel, former head of the Republican organisation. Because they want diversity of political opinion? I think not.
Natural Instinct, you are certainly hopeful the ABC can explain anything. In the words of ObiWanKenobi “these are not the facts you are looking for “.
looking at the current disastrous unfolding of the election machinery in the US, is there anyone who has any confidence in any of them?
I cannot say that there is any better recording system than paper votes, marked with ink, and indelible finger paint.
The use of computers and other so called ‘high tech’ collating systems has been a fiasco for the citizens of Western Societies.
That’s what the Russians are saying. Go back to Kasparov’s comment. Why would they head towards the most fortified border in the world?

So what’s the answer to the pitfalls of subjective interpretations of imaging? There’s much spruiking of “AI” as being better at spotting bogeys at a margin of double figures percent- but will insurers start pressuring that Drs be overruled by medibots?
JC, I’ve had every sort of scan and any sort of soft tissue image is still poorly represented.

Yoorrook turns to early settlement, massacre sitesAdrian BlackAAP
Mon, 25 March 2024 1:44PM
A ceremonial hearing has been held for the inquiry on Gunditjmara country at Budj Bim near Portland.
Victoria’s truth-telling inquiry has met near the state’s cradle of European settlement and the site of its first recorded massacre of Indigenous peoples.
The Yoorrook Justice Commission held a ceremonial hearing on Gunditjmara country near western Victoria’s Portland, where Edward Henty established the first European settlement in 1834.
The next three weeks of hearings focus on injustices against Indigenous Victorians related to land, sky and waters.
Hearings will include testimony from Premier Jacinta Allan and Water Minister Harriet Shing.
“What our people have been through since invasion will be told through the stories to Yoorrook Justice Commission,” Gunditjmara elder Donna Wright said.
She said the hearings were being held in their rightful place.
“In this part of our country, there’s a glorification of the colonisers who stole our land, the massacres, the murders, the frontier violence, violence against our women and our children as well,” Ms Wright said.
“It did not stop us. We’re still here and we’re still fighting.”
Inquiry commissioner Travis Lovett said Gunditjmara Mirring country told the story of colonisation “from beginning to end” in one region.
“The first recorded massacre in Victoria took place at the Convincing Ground on Kilcarer country, which we will also visit today,” Mr Lovett said.
“It is there that the European whalers used their guns to fend off the Kilcarer Gundidj people from accessing their own resources, which they had done for thousands of years prior.”
Several of the upcoming hearings will be held on country.
“During this time, you’ll also hear more evidence about how the theft of land, water and resources has impacted and continues to impact First Peoples today,” Mr Lovett said.
“We invite all Victorians to walk with us. To listen, to learn and share our history.”

Are you suggesting the truck driver knew he was carrying the explosives?
Yeah, using cluster munitions in built up areas is bad or at least not good.
No, they burnt 50 people alive in Odessa, for instance, in the year the US organized the coup.
I’m not the one getting worked up here. You have no idea if Putin organized the ’99 apartment bombings. None at all. There’s a few problems with the claim just as there are with the Moscow bombings being false flags. Putin/ Yeltsin didn’t need a false flag to restart efforts in the Caucasus. There were kidnappings, a war already in Dagestan, so extending it to Chechnya would have been straightforward. Further, if it is a false flag why organize a half-dozen bombings in multiple cities over nearly two weeks? Makes no sense. It’s overkill and opens the false flag to discovery. There is also the fact that militants from Dagestan threatened such a bombing campaign and they were actively fighting the Russians already.
Sure, but the conclusive evidence is always a biopsy, no?

Russia has form in conducting terrorist acts and supporting terrorism around the world. The USSR was one of the biggest supporters of terror groups.
Two of the most famously infamous attacks on civilians were
1/ in the 80s, shooting down a Korean airlines jet because it (mistakenly) traveled into Soviet airspace by a few miles. There was no cautionary signaling. They just shot it down with an air to air missile.
2/ Malaysian airlines shot down by a missile, even though the Russians were aware that airspace was used by civilian airlines.
But also, let me repeat, blowing up those apartment buildings by Putin and the FSA and then blaming on chechens.
Spare me the bullshit that Christians and Muslims have lived with each other blissfully for 100’s of years.
Seems the tradie, in Broome, who tied up the three indigenous kids, with cable ties, after he rumbled them in his mother’s swimming pool, has been granted bail…
Because it’s not. The DMZ between NK/SK is easily more fortified, but in that region, the line of contact in the south would easily be more fortified and subject to ISR. Also, the region of Bryansk is forested in parts along the Ukrainian border so offers opportunities for exfiltration.

I have no idea and neither do you because it would’ve come from Russian propaganda.
Interesting how you seem to always give credit to Russian propaganda.
Yeah, in built up areas it’s pretty bad. Payback is a real bitch though, right?
Targeting Civilian Infrastructure: There have been reports of Russian forces deliberately targeting civilian infrastructure in Ukraine, including hospitals, schools, and residential areas, in violation of international humanitarian law.
Oh, so we’re going back a decade ago even though the current leadership had nothing to with it. Righto.
It’s pretty well established it was Putin’s gambit. Also, let me add the fact you’re speculating every day about this war. I don’t think you’re the only one allowed to make assertions.
Wait a minute, they were heading to the Sth Korean border and entering from North Korea? 🙂
Moreover, you’re again giving credit to something the Russians are claiming who are as credible as the other side of the conflict.
Call it the second most fortified then if it makes you happier.
But seeing we’re in the speculation business. It makes sense for Putin to lay blame on Ukraine because he wants to raise the anger of the Russian public against Ukraine. And the last thing the prick wants is to get into a skirmish with Islamic loons right at this moment.
Let me speculate now.
The attack was conducted by ISIS related lunatics. Putin will blame it on Ukraine because it suits his strategy and gets the punters fired up against the Ukes. The last thing he wants is another skirmish with Islamist elements seeing he’s fellating the mullahs and Hamarse. It would very much suit his strategy.
Very strange coincidence…

Sure, sure, but it doesn’t matter given a family was also killed while on the bridge, or is that only Russian propaganda?
You need to get your story straight, JC. On the hand you argue that the Ukes wouldn’t deliberately target civilians and when they do you cry ‘Payback is a real bitch’. Which is it?
Many of the people that did this came to power subsequently, but again you miss the point, the charge applies to Ukraine, and the West’s ability to ignore it when it suits.
It isn’t, and the fact that you’re not addressing the points raised against it suggests a certain lack of confidence in the claim itself.

There’s no need for me to get my story straight as you’re the one unable to cope and show it be meandering from one irrelevant point to another. The area was a war zone and it was that they weren’t deliberately targeting civilians. Totally different to what occurred in the concert hall.
And yet, you still refuse to answer if the recent election was legit.

NSW Bill passed under the cover of night Kirralie Smith March 25, 2024
Under the cover of night, NSW Labor, the Greens and independent Alex Greenwich teamed up to pass the controversial ‘Conversion Practices Ban Bill’ in NSW.
They rammed it through while you and I were sleeping, while many parliamentarians had gone home for the night.
They rejected public scrutiny and consultation.
They rejected the piles of evidence that proves issuing puberty blockers and cross sex hormones to minors is irreversibly and catastrophically harmful.
They conflated sex and gender identity. Sex relies on biology while gender identity denies biology.
They disregarded the voice of detransitioners and victims of the transgender industry who have been deeply harmed by this insidious ideology.
They will never have to give an account for the incredible damage this bill paves the way for.
It is incredibly disturbing and frustrating.

Watch Susan Carter speak about “transing the gay away”.
What are you talking about? What is this?
LOL on the meandering and irrelevancies. On the latter, if they don’t want to appear to be deliberately targeting or indifferent to civilian casualties, don’t use cluster munitions in built up areas, don’t describe this a payback is a bitch, and then pretend this is all totally different.
I’m not a dancing seal that performs tricks on request especially when they are irrelevant to what is being discussed.
So rather than address the points I raised earlier you’re just going to complain that I’m trying to ‘read your mind’. Human beings read intentions from words and deeds. If I see someone looking in my window at midnight, I’m going to guess he intends something nefarious. This is entirely justified in the circumstances.
The definitive proof would then be a biopsy. Imaging could show a lump or some tissue distortion etc, but only a biopsy is the gold standard I would presume.
Yep ..! my CT scan showed very little 3 weeks ago but the MRI 2 weeks ago shows a possible problem (may be Cancer) so I’m going in for a biopsy in a couple of weeks so the doc can be more positive ……..

Terrorist-backer, radical preacher Abu Ousayd a Saturday school principal
By alexi demetriadi
A radical, terrorism-backing Sydney cleric who described Jewish people as “descendants of pigs and monkeys” and urged people to “spit on Israel” so that “Jews would drown” is a Saturday school principal teaching sharia to children as young as five.
The Australian can reveal that southwest Sydney cleric Abu Ousayd is the head of an informal Saturday school for children aged five to 12 at Bankstown’s Al Madina Dawah Centre.
Since the onset of the Israel-Hamas war on October 7, the centre has provided a platform for incendiary sermons by a number of clerics, including Mr Ousayd.
Mr Ousayd has previously expressed support for Islamic State and al-Qa’ida, boasted of friendship with terrorists Khaled Sharrouf and Mohamed Elomar, and preached extremist ideology at his now-defunct Al-Risalah Islamic Centre, which was frequented by numerous men who committed atrocities in Syria.
As recently as last month, the Al Madina Dawah Centre was encouraging enrolments for children to study the Koran, Arabic and sharia, at a cost of $200 per place.
Promotional material said the school would “grow hearts and minds, guided by the Koran and Sunnah”, and promised “learning, fun and play”.

Just because you lose a limb, shouldn’t mean you lose your mind.
This.
Sure, sure, but it doesn’t matter given a family was also killed while on the bridge, or is that only Russian propaganda.
Why does a kernel of truth have to mean that the rest of the story has to be correct?
Payback for Russian aggression against Ukrainian civilians is a bitch. See the comment above about how the Russians have been targeting civilians and civilian infrastructure. Add to that the fact that, early on, the Russians were actually targeting a nuclear reactor.
It was also a war zone, and therefore the Ukes are perfectly entitled to blow up the place. If there were civilians in the area, that’s just bad luck. Equating that with what occurred in the concert hall is really stretching credulity.
It’s a perfectly reasonable question.
I have addressed and re-addressed the points you raised. I even added my speculation to yours. You suggested that I wasn’t “confident” in my responses, which is mind-reading 101. I’m sorry, I don’t find your speculations convincing, and if you find that what I’ve said lacks a certain quality of confidence, then that’s on you. The analogy is also very silly, as it has zero relevance to our discussion. Mind-reading in this instance means that you’re attempting to read something that isn’t there. I’m not there at your window at midnight looking into your home. You’re buying into Russian propaganda that it was Ukraine that sent in those mass murderers. If I may mind-read now, you’re so hung up on making Putin appear innocent that you can no longer even entertain the possibility that anything you have said about this war is totally wrong.
What’s daft is suggesting the Ukrainians have been at “war” as though it was the Ukrainians wanting to annex another country, and then calling it a special operation. Call it what it is – Russian aggression.
Fine, you don’t like my speculation. I consider yours pretty daft too.
Elder who voted ‘no’ elected to state voice
By paige taylor
An Aboriginal elder who voted against a constitutionally enshrined national voice at the referendum last year has been elected to a legislated version of the voice in South Australia.
Donald Fraser, who was born on the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara Lands and grew up at the Presbyterian Ernabella Mission in the Musgrove Ranges, told The Australian on Monday he believes his home state should trial the voice before other states considered adopting it. Once state voices were working well, Mr Fraser said, a national voice could be the next step.
“I wasn’t in favour of the national one not yet,” he said. “Once we’ve learned here in South Australia we will pass it on to other states. Otherwise it will be too big to control it.”
The SA Electoral Commission published the first results of its count on Monday, declaring Mr Fraser one of seven successful candidates for the region called Far North. That region covers the town of Coober Pedy and the remote APY Lands where the late Indigenous leader Lowitja O’Donoghue was born.
Mr Fraser, who worked with O’Donoghue when they were both employed by the old Department of Aboriginal Affairs, said on Monday that he believed he was born in 1948 but had never been able to obtain a birth certificate.
He said economic development on the APY Lands must be one of the voice’s top priorities when it begins advising the Malinauskas government. Mr Fraser, who lives in the APY community of Pakutja, said government departments once helped his people run small enterprises that created jobs.
“People out here are on Centrelink since government took away the funding that created all those jobs,” he said.
“We used to earn $30 a week, which was a good wage at the time. There were a lot of jobs here but there is nothing now. It would be good to get together with the government, throw all the cards on the table and try to run that one.”
Mr Fraser said that running cattle could be a good option but there were plenty of other opportunities on the APY Lands.
“We are crying out for economic development,” he said.
“Once people earn a decent wage they can buy clothes and the expensive food they just cannot afford on Centrelink. Food is very expensive here.”
The first members of SA’s voice were declared on Monday as the Electoral Commission began what was expected to be a three-day count to decide who would sit on the three-tiered body. There are a total of 46 positions. The precise structure of the SA voice was established in legislation last year after consultations with Indigenous people across the state. The voice will be able to talk to the government and the parliament.’
In SA, the legislation creates six regions. The representatives elected from each region will form six local voices. Two members from each of these local voices – a man and a woman – will sit on the state voice. This means the state voice will have 12 members drawn from the local voices.
it doesnt. The whole point of referring to them is that it is incontestable that they were killed in the vicinity of the truck bomb.
Again, your saying that the Ukes wouldn’t target civilians and now your saying when they do it’s payback. How can the latter preclude them from something like the Moscow bombings? It can’t.
Nonsense. Further, the civilian infrastructure they’ve targeted is dual use and nothing different from what the US targeted and destroyed in Serbia, Iraq, Syria or Libya, for instance. As for this idea that they’re targeting a reactor they themselves have in their possession, again, makes absolutely no sense.
That’s not how it works, even in a war zone. And it makes no sense for you to say its bad luck here but not went it’s putatively the Russians. Lastly, it doesn’t stretch credulity to liken indiscriminatey using cluster munitions in a populated area with a indiscriminate killing in a theatre; both are a likely in the casual and wanton disregard for civilian casualties.
No, you have ignored the points raised against the claim that the apartment bombings were a false flag. I’ll let others guess what I’m thinking as I wrote this reply.
You accused me earlier of meandering and irrelevancies and the above either missed the point or is dodging the point made. I argued the Russian public is already sufficiently angry towards the Ukrainians as not to need a false-flag event to arouse them to further anger, and your reply is now to contest the use of the term war rather than address that point.

President Trump just posted this on Truth Social. He said the judgement against him in the NYC Civil Fraud case is Election Interference, and that the number should be ZERO.

It’s irrelevant and wasn’t contested. What is contested was the story that went along with that. A truck bomber on a suicide mission.
Again, your saying that the Ukes wouldn’t target civilians and now your saying when they do it’s payback. How can the latter preclude them from something like the Moscow bombings? It can’t.
Boy oh boy you stretch things out. I said, it’s unlikely the ukes would arrange an attack of this nature and I suggested that because Putin has form, it would be more likely he was the culprit. It was you that equated cluster bombing in a war zone to the attack in the theater. One is a terrorist attack and the other isn’t.
Nonsense. Further, the civilian infrastructure they’ve targeted is dual use and nothing different from what the US targeted and destroyed in Serbia, Iraq, Syria or Libya, for instance. As for this idea that they’re targeting a reactor they themselves have in their possession, again, makes absolutely no sense.
Stop bringing the US into the discussion as it’s irrelevant and muddies the water. We’re discussing the attack on the concert hall.
The Russians began to attack the reactor!
But Russians lobbing missiles in Ukrainian civilian areas is okay then?
That the apartment bombings were a false flag carries more credibility than Putin’s accusation it was the Ukrainians who done it and you buying into this propagandist tripe.
Domination Through Chaos and Fear
There is the new call-up about to occur, so there’s that. Also, I disagree the Russians are that angry with Ukrainians, as though that has anything to do with Putin’s attempt to annex the country.
