Anthony Hopkins, when asked why he doesn’t publicly comment on political issues.
There’s no reason why the P.M. cannot go to Lae in Papua New Guinea for Anzac Day. There’s an international airport at Nadzab (though a rough ride between there and Lae), we have a High Commission in Lae, and the war cemetery was maintained very respectably the last time I saw it (which admittedly, was about a decade ago). We also have a small contingent of ADF at IGAM Barracks which could be utilised for ceremonial purposes.
Lae was an important base, both for the Japanese, and then for the Australians and Americans from late 1943 onwards.
This “Future Made in Australia” thing sounds a bit like it might be inspired by “We Make Nafink” philosophy.
Privately, sure.
But it’s not part of his brief to represent the nation abroad at commemorative events.
That’s in the G-G’s remit.
At the very least, if cameras are going to be present, Albanese should invite Dutton. Using such an occasion for party political or personal political advantage is obnoxious and insulting to the memory of those who served.

From what I know as an Army brat getting to Major or Sergeant is easy in an arms corp in our army. WO2 up and Major up used to be a bit more selective and less time based especially for officers, SNCO’s less so.
Not all Majors will get sub unit command, even less will get unit command then above that commanding a Brigade & Division are even more elusive.
Will pass on to a mate who knows more than I to see what he has heard.

Naomi Wolf was one of the most famous liberal intellectuals in America. Then she questioned lockdowns and the Covid vax. It’s pretty amazing what happened next.
I linked a shorter version above, but this is the full Tucker interview with Naomi Wolf, which is one hour long (the rest is older stuff).
Don’t forget Black Tape. The Whale Spirits are among us, well perhaps the greedy slags who wish to shut down industry.
How this shit can be even considered in a court is beyond me.
The Daily Telegraph has short videos but can’t link them here.
However the title of one of those is Middle East becoming this generation’s Vietnam.
So says Joe Hildebrand. If I can somehow link it I shall.
Well, “Slainte” to all you mob.
Mme Zulu’s latest test results are back, and they are all negative. For the first time, in two years, there are no appointment letters stuck to the fridge. We are opening the (good) champagne.
Cats will do me the courtesy of ignoring any incoherent transmissions from this call sign..
Under proposed changes South Australia is moving to drop mandatory covid vaccination for healthcare workers – it would be the first state to do so. BUT workers have to sign a form stating they agree the covid vaccine is beneficial but they are willing to forgo those wondrous benefits. “We’ll graciously allow you to return to work so long as you sign this form saying we were right and you’re wrong”.
I guess that’s a reluctant admission that the evidence is natural immunity is the equivalent of – in fact better – than the vaccine. There was never any need to bully and coerce people into taking a vaccine using experimental mRNA technology.

Too few like you, and too many of the others.
Swan has the cheek to take a swipe at the head of ther Productivity Commission. Let me be Frank. the lowest ranked economist at the Productivity Commission is more able to comment on Albos new “inflation Reduction Act” than Swan. I know Swan is allegedly a “professor” at some University but he definitely did a “body swerve” when it came to economics.
Wayne Swan BA (Hons) is another example of what is wrong with politics and the academy in this country. That delusional piece of trash needs to be put in its place. The place of a useless tenth rate intellect who has never had a real job. Sadly that’s a requirement for membership of the political class.
So Swan’s a perfesser now? Gawd.
OJ Simpson brown bread.
I wonder if he’ll fit in the coffin.
Mentioned today Swan had a chop at Dai Le who has actual experience in the private sector, even though limited and I suspect being Viet would have an innate mercantilist bent anyway. As for Swan, he has none pre Parliament and I don’t count his post Parliament history, like Moyston he’s not on Boards for his knowledge or nous.
RGR produced some of the smarmiest ignoramuses I have ever seen. Conroy is another. They showboat around thinking they kicked goals but take away the media fluffers were really bereft of even the most basic substance or any tangible real time results except failure.
Reading David Reynolds new book “Mirrors Of Greatness: Churchill and the Leaders Who Shaped Him.” Good reading.
From the chapter on Lloyd George –
“His steering gear is too weak for his horsepower.” Lloyd George on Churchill, March 1916.
It was sometimes said that “Lloyd George was born a cad, and never forgot it. Churchill was born a gentleman and never remembered it.” Page 37.

Good news.
You and the bride – get fcuking very untidy.
Many commenters have a hazy memory of what they said and did at the time of the “pandemic” and now recall only the parts that puts them in a good light.
And LOL to Lizzy, she was so restrained since she started posting on CL’s blog, never talked about herself, not much anyway.
Sticking to topics only, but alas, she couldn’t keep it up.
Back to the all powerful all helping matriarch of the clan, that without her would fall apart.
Wonder what happens if … hope she’ll be around for a long time.
Not to mention lending her wast experience as an epidemiologist to the cause.
