There’s one episode called “Midtown Slasher” about a guy who was killed in his office one evening in the most grizzly way. I won’t give away the storyline. The victim’s son was in the same school—a grade above my kid. I have watched it and it’s really well done, so I recommend it.

Future Liberal govt would have ‘zero tolerance’ for anti-Semitism in Australia: Peter Dutton
Israel lashed yet SAS victims ‘destitute’ with compensation yet to be paid to Afghan families
By ben packham
Anthony Albanese’s demand for “full accountability” from Israel on aid worker Zomi Frankcom’s death comes as the government drags its feet on compensating the families of 39 Afghans killed by alleged Australian war criminals.
The November 2020 Brereton report recommended the government compensate the families of those wrongfully killed by Australian special forces in Afghanistan, without waiting to establish criminal liability for the killings.
Three and a half years on, Defence has told The Australian that a “pathway” to providing compensation has been agreed, but details are yet to be finalised.
UN special rapporteur on human rights and counter-terrorism Ben Saul said Australia’s response to the Brereton recommendation had been “sclerotic and inexcusable”, leaving the victims’ families “destitute”.
“Australia is required by international law to compensate for unlawful killings,” Professor Saul said. “The government could pay through neutral humanitarian actors. There is no objection from the Taliban, (and) paying would not imply recognition of the Taliban government or infringe any sanctions or terror finance laws.”
Wollongong University international law professor Greg Rose said Australia’s drawn-out approach stood in contrast to Israel’s immediate probe into the deaths of seven aid workers last week. “The rapidity of Israel’s response would leave Australia as a shadow in the dust in the far distance behind,” he said
The Prime Minister says he expects Israel to fully co-operate with Australia’s special adviser on the deaths of Ms Frankcom and six colleagues killed in an Israel airstrike last week, including through the provision of classified documents.

‘Very tough week’: Australia and Israel’s relationship strained after Penny Wong remarksIt’s been a very tough week for the bilateral relationship between Australia and Israel, says Australia Israel and… Jewish Affairs Council Joel Burnie. His remarks come as Foreign Minister Penny Wong has called for the recognition of a Palestinian state. “The rhetoric from the Australian government has certainly intensified after More
A 2006 update on the doctrine noted the ADF’s targeting of residences and convoys to search for Taliban commanders required “consequent acceptance of non-combatant casualties as a necessary proportionate risk to achieve the military objective”.
Professor Saul said Australia’s interpretation of the laws of war was robust, and cultural and leadership failures in Afghanistan were “hopefully being addressed”.
Amid the fallout from Foreign Minister Penny Wong’s speech floating Australian recognition a Palestinian state, the Prime Minister insisted on Thursday that a Hamas-free Gaza was possible as a prerequisite for Palestinian statehood. The Prime Minister rejected a suggestion that separating the terrorist group from a Palestinian state was “just about impossible”.
“Well, that’s not right. That’s not right,” Mr Albanese told Nine’s Today show.
But the head of the General Delegation of Palestine to Australia, Izzat Abdulhadi, said the terrorist group that slaughtered 1200 people and took more than 250 hostages would never be removed from Gaza. “You can weaken their military capabilities, but Hamas is a part of the Palestinian people,” he told ABC radio. “Hamas is a philosophy. Hamas is an idea.”
Senator Wong sparked anger in the Jewish community and among Labor supporters of Israel with a speech on Tuesday arguing Palestinian statehood was a necessary step along the “pathway” to a two-state solution.
She said putting Palestinian statehood at the end of the process had failed for the past 30 years.

One of Australia’s most prestigious universities has cancelled a speech by an Israeli engineering academic after it had been advised the event would be “severely disrupted”.
Professor Tal Shima, an aerospace engineer, had been scheduled to speak to a small gathering of staff and students at Melbourne University’s engineering faculty on Thursday, but the lecture was abruptly cancelled.
The Australian understands the faculty made the decision to cancel following a number of threats to disrupt it.
The pro-Palestinian group UniMelbforPalestine demanded the event be cancelled, citing Professor Shima’s position at the Israeli Institute of Technology. The professor has, among other roles, been dean of aerospace engineering, which the group claimed involved “researching weapons” used by Israel and which meant he had been “directly involved in the slaughter of Palestinians in Gaza”.
It also claimed research organisations he worked for had been funded by the Israeli Ministry of Defence and the US Air Force.
On Thursday the Instagram page of the group – “a grassroots collective of University of Melbourne students, staff and alumni organising on campus for a free Palestine” – boasted that the event had been cancelled.

The “compensation” to landholders is a one off payment for infrastructure that will impact the farm for many decades.
That compensation will be taxed as non farm income and cause a nice large blip in revenue that will attract high tax rates.
The $200,000 per km is over a twenty year period. That’s ten thousand per km per year and only costs the proponents 3.65 million per year on a multi billion dollar project. That easement gives them the right to bulldoze anything under those lines for over 120 metres and restrict any landholders nearby not in the easement from building any structures or using farm practices that could impact the line as well as those under the line. They also have the right to run a permit system covering any activity that farmers may wish to conduct in the zone. This includes height restrictions of machinery and limiting farming activities to weather conditions that they deem is safe. Twenty eight degrees is already enforced in the Western District by companies with existing easements as the top temperature for harvesting crops. Your only complaint avenue is through the same companies complaints department. The government offers no dependant ombudsman.
You get to pay for the whole thing.

It gets worse with snowy 2 and humegrid. Snowy 2 was originally designed with a bigger dam. That has been reduced by 20%. So as a peaked it will not be able to generate for as long. Added to this is that during a drought in that area it will not be able to be used as much. Essentially the humbling could be empty most of the time. Snowy 2 is a peaked not a generator. It arbitrage electricity prices.
2 gas generators would be far less costly. And could be built close to existing transmission and gas pipelines. But oh! That’s right we haven’t got any gas and we are shuttering some gas generators.
Note that only 40% of a bill is electricity. The rest is metering, transmission and distribution. All regulated. They get paid even if the generators are stranded. It is indeed a set show. Any commercial organisation would go broke with snowy 2.

Paging Blackout Bowen – Hello Bonehead – Low Cost Electricity –
The start of a much-delayed nuclear plant in Finland has helped bring down electricity prices by more than 75 per cent in the Nordic country. The Olkiluoto 3 (OL3), Europe’s first new nuclear plant in 16 years, began operating in April and is capable of meeting up to 15 per cent of the country’s power demand. Nuclear made up a third of Finland’s total electricity generation in 2021.
Average spot electricity prices in the country fell to €60.55 ($65.69) per megawatt hour in April from €245.98 per megawatt hour in December, a decrease of 75.38 per cent, according to Nord Pool, a physical electricity exchange.

What an utterly infantile statement. Ignorance writ exceedingly large.”
No, it’s quite accurate, in fact.
Israel has always been prepared to negotiate on this, the Pali’s have always rejected it.
Pali’s will again reject it, if asked – they are not interested in living in peace with their neighbors, they want to kill them all, subjugate them, or drive them all off their traditional lands.
No compromise is possible with these people – none.
When your “enemy” provides you with a fresh water pipeline, and you dig it up to build rockets from, you’re not a champion of “the people”, you are war-mongers, pure and simple. When the road to peace (Abraham accords) is seen as a threat to the powerful and all thoughts of keeping those who do not want to be involved in a war out of the conflict, let alone some of those being used as human shields (against all international law and norms, let alone ethics), when you block roads and mow down unarmed civilians just trying to escape, when you rape, pillage and plunder, when you shoot unarmed civilians in the back as they attempt to flee, when you take hostages and then torture and rape them, when you put a baby in an oven and leave it cook to death, you have no right to any sort of moral high ground – sorry, you just don’t.
Don’t get me wrong – there have been some truly awful things done by both sides in the current conflict. But my view is: the Pali’s (OK, ham-arse) started it, then when they ran out of rockets, immediately called for a truce. No – just no. Israel has been too soft – they should have gone full on and had it finished by now. Much as I hate to say it, all the Pali’s understand is force, and a brutal retaliation is all that will keep them under control – at least for a time. Yes, it’s distasteful, but it’s reality and we must face it.
The hypocrisy of the US in particular is stunning – how spastic did they go after 9-11. They spend 30 years trying to exact revenge and suppress the cult to enacted it. 10-7 was a larger percentage of the population killed and injured than 9-11 was. As I said before, IMO Israel should have given 24 hours notice, then used fuel/air explosives on one end, then do the same for the other end of Gaza – just flatten the whole lot and say “We will never initiate hostilities, but we will always respond with at least equal force and usually much, much more. You already know this, and this time it is no different. You can sue for peace if you want, but it will be unconditional surrender or complete destruction – your choice.”

Quite honestly I don’t know why I look at this blog and read with interest the views of most of you share with me. It’s depressing, and in my lifetime I’ve only been depressed twice, each time for a period of about twenty minutes each, then carried on. Short of going postal I am at a loss of what to do. As Eyrie commented on BB’s comment, we should be “filthy rich”. When I came here in 79 I couldn’t believe how easy it was to make money. The Lucky Country it used to be called. No wonder, lucky a lot didn’t get sacked for being bludgers. As the welfare state took over this place has turned into a dump. Even though I despise Canberra, but have to live there due to family, it used be a clean and tidy place in the early 2000’s, only to have over twenty years of the Liars who’ve achieved zero. Labor are the muzzies of the Anglo world. Turn everything to shiite. They think they’re doing great strokes but the only thing they’re stroking is the wedding tackle.
Thanks Kneel – my sentiments exactly.

‘Pointless’: Howard blasts Sirius Building name changeTricia Rivera
Former prime minister John Howard has slammed a decision to change the name of the Department of Health’s headquarters over its colonial association, in a move he says is “pointless petulance”.
The Department of Health is planning to change the name of the building it occupies, known as the “Sirius Building”, named after the HMS Sirius, the flagship of the First Fleet.
“I hold in contempt this petulant, juvenile piece of anti-colonialism. It’s just pointless petulance,” Mr Howard told The Canberra Times.
The second building on the site, known as the Scarborough House, was named after the HMS Scarborough.
The building’s architect intended to commemorate the arrival of the first fleets and expressed disappointment over the move.
Other colonial reminders around the building have also been removed following complaints from public servants including names of ships in the First Fleet which were previously engraved on the walls.
The new name for the Sirius Building is expected to be chosen in the coming months.
“Pointless petulance.” Well said, that man.
The use of ‘postpone’ indicates that they are trying to calm down domestic fears.

For those energy wonks willing to wade through detailed obfuscation, Transgrid itself reveals in its pricing submission to the AER exactly how juicy its operations are to portfolio investors – and how it benefits from bulking up capital investment in the grid infrastructure.
Without attempting a Finance 101 masterclass, Transgrid offers its investors an asset with a Beta of 0.6 (incredibly low risk), the ability to gear up to 80%+ on the back of government guarantees and strategic monopoly assets (boosted equity returns), and enhanced returns to equity thanks to the regulator accepting regulated charges based on early depreciation of long-life assets.
The wettest of wet dreams for portfolio investors – say, for instance, Australian government superannuation funds.
However, unaccountably, someone has allowed the benefits to leak away to Canada and the UAE.

Kate has not been seen in public since Christmas Day and I seriously doubt she ever will be again. If you watched the timeline I posted the other day, a state visit to Italy by William and Kate in early 2024 was announced a couple of days before Christmas (so much for a planned operation). Then three days after Christmas an ambulance was seen leaving Sandringham Palace. Now if the chef’s assistant had a heart attack, I’m sure he’d be rushed to hospital but I doubt it would be in a convoy with police escort, which was the case here.
Then we’ve had this edifice of lies and deception being pulled apart one after the other. The short clip below is about an FOI request to the BBC about the veracity of Kate’s supposed video message and instead of saying that it was genuine, they said it was proprietary property and not subject to FOI.
If Kate had a serious medical event why would they lie about it? What happened to her? What puzzles me the most is the silence of her own family.

Penny Wong urges Iran not to escalate conflict in the Middle East with retaliation against Israel
Well now that Penny has spoken, I’m sure Iran will be backing down.
Israel bombed Iran’s embassy. That is not going to go unanswered (as Israel would have known full well).
This looks to me to be a rather unsubtle effort by Israel to draw the US into a war with Iran. I would hope that the US has been crystal clear with Israel that it is on its own if its actions result in it being on an escalation ladder with Iran that it loses control of, but I doubt this is the case.

The motel recently enjoyed recipients of the NDIS, in this case Indigeous ones.
The booking was made as someone and a carer. two rooms. The booking agency didn’t reveal the source. This is not unusual – people come here for medical appointments or surgery, with a carer who may be a relative.
What happened was that the ‘patient’ (a feral with the social skills of a wombat in mating mode) and his mother (the ‘carer’) turned up, along with a few others, including a couple of kids.
They distributed themselves across a couple of rooms, and commenced to invite their friends and relatives around for a party. Blokes in big jackets and hoodies appeared. Chicken bones were strewn around the forecourt. In the mornings, it sounded like a TB ward as the blokes hawked and coughed and spat into the garden. The rooms were trashed.
The owner tells me that she has no idea why the NDIS funded this jaunt, there doesn’t seem to be any sign of therapy in the party timetable.

And posting her humiliation for the World to see.
Because 1 million fellow religionists have her by the balls in domestic politics.
Inshallah.
More Exposé stuff …
Keep up.
They have announced she has cancer.
I repeat.
Cancer.
Already disclosed.
And now having chemo. Very remiss of her not to be giving the Exposé a daily scoop to fill their begging bowl, but there you have it.
Not puzzling at all. She made a very clear statement about the cancer, which emphasised nothing more would be added.
Oh, right. Well, now that you have gone ALL CAPS I will now take you seriously.
Who’d want to go see a play about qwerties staged by a bunch of nazis?
Had a child go through the Children’s Theatre route, and Secondary School Drama etc. By the time she finished (2013) there was a distinct woke feel to local theatre including in schools. At least she got some Shakespeare under her belt before that got rewritten. Haven’t been to any live theatre since, anywhere, as I can’t stomach the attitude. Mind you, everything seems to be either indigenous or qwerty, with the occasional all women or all refugee performance thrown in.
Good thing nobody outside of Oz pays her any mind, else we’d have cause for great embarrassment.
I must say it’s been good to hear Simon Birmingham on ABC RN giving her a pasting (metaphorically speaking!).

Maybe if the Israelis recognised the Palestinians as people with rights and gave them back their land and homes, then they wouldn’t have to live in militray camp surrounded by barb wire and machine guns.
The free market has been vindicated again and again: Time and again the government announces new industries and businesses it is going to launch – and money is no object! And time and again these initiatives fail. The free market had recognised long before that the opportunity was not viable.
Besides, why would anyone believe anything Albo says? He has no history in anything other than union politics and politics politics. Producing stuff, marshalling resources, taking a risks, and setting it all in motion is simply beyond his comprehension. His history has actually been leach off businesses, sucking the blood out of them until they collapse.
Does he truly believe anyone sees him make these pronouncements and think he speaks with any authority?
Or do they do what I do, and immediately start calculating how much his schemes are going to damage the country and harm me?
Just wanted to let you all know that, despite our often very harsh opinions of the various GovCo departments, agencies etc, that I recently had cause for two(2) interactions with Service NSW, and despite my pre-interaction concern that these would be difficult and involve much ridiculous paperwork and long waits (both in person and on the phone), that both of these interactions went smoothly and much more quickly than I anticipated, and no significant delays or endless paperwork were involved. One (in person) was resolved in under 10 minutes (including wait time), and one (on the phone) resolved in under 5 minutes (again, including wait time).
In light of that, I would only say: Well done Service NSW – you have excelled with this customer and I am most pleased with you at this time. If this is a typical example of your service levels, then the citizens of NSW have much to cheer about and little to complain of in regards to Service NSW.

Families seek damages after OJ Simpson dies
theaustralian.com.au01:37
O.J. Simpson, the man famously acquitted of murder, has died aged 76O.J. Simpson, iconic football star, Hollywood actor, and notorious murder suspect, has passed away age of 76…
The families of OJ Simpson’s alleged victims have vowed to pursue his estate for unpaid compensation after the death of the former American football star.
Simpson, who died in Las Vegas on Wednesday of prostate cancer, aged 76, was acquitted in 1995 of the murder of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ron Goldman, in a trial that transfixed America and the world.
In 1997 he was found liable for the pair’s deaths in a civil proceeding. Simpson was ordered to pay $US33.5 million.
However, the legal victory was a largely pyrrhic one: he avoided paying significant damages. The Goldman estate received only about $US123,000.
Simpson continued to deny involvement in the deaths, eventually writing a “hypothetical” memoir called If I Did It, laying out the way in which he would have killed the pair, had he been so inclined.

Arnie Bertrand appears to have skipped over these relevant bits in the piece he himself linked to.
Also, it beggars belief that even if the Philippines skipped the idea of putting the deal in writing, China, which claims 99.99% of the South China Sea wouldn’t have wanted a signed and ratified treaty over such an important issue. Arnie appears to be bullshitting as usual.
Later in the piece, it says the Dute denies ever making a gentleman’s agreement.
Arnie shouldn’t have omitted these parts.
Also, there’s this.

The OJ farce was only good for two things – “the Chewbacca Defense” and (the fictional) Jackie Chiles.

And very well said.
In the bad old days, the NSW “Non Service” at Wynyard in Sydney NSW 2000 was a nightmare to deal with.
Then BC sometime (now called BC which means Before Covid) everything suddenly improved. And the excellent level of service (for a Guv’ment Dept. that is) continues. Far better than a Bank (not too hard to beat the Banksters that is).
So Hats Off and well done. Please keep it up.

Here’s a rare breed in Australia , a CEO of a manufacturing concern. He’s talking about the hardship faced by this sector and why the Liars subsidy plan will never work. In fact, I suspect the “Made In Australia” boondoggle is some convoluted way of funneling funds to the Unions.
Taxes, everywhere you look.
More taxes. Payroll tax
More taxes
Energy costs.
No, you can’t.
Yep, he sure will.
Here’s more from Partridge, this time talking about land taxes. The state governments aren’t just fcking over individuals where these days the cost of land tax means you’re essentially renting the land from the government as it’s so high.
They’re also fcking businesses.
What I mentioned some time ago. They’re now attempting to divert scarce capital from higher return on capital industries to lower return on capital sectors.
She was handpicked by the Liars too. That’s how bad things are.
Business, particularly in manufacturing, is doomed under the various incompetent rabbles posing as governments. The 2/3rds of my offspring who voted for these troughers will receive minimal sympathy from me when next they whinge about rent or mortgage payments and the ever increasing Aldi checkout shock.
I love them to bits but they are the problem and their idea of solutions is mostly based on gimme OPM via political pork.
Eslake did some work in the return on capital story and manufacturing under the current economic circumstances has the lowest return of all sectors discussed.
Just think about this. Wages alone for decent people would be around 35 bucks an hour. Factoring in indirect costs, such as super and Workcover, and it would be over 40 bucks an hour. Taking Eslake’s estimate, you have to pay all other expenses and make a profit all with the $79 an hour bogey. Good freaking luck.
Bwahahahahahahahaha! They’ll struggle to even “build” eight, which will then no doubt promptly collapse on the unfortunates attempting to exist in them.
There’s reality and there’s Albansleazey World and the twain shall never meet.
I love them to bits but they are the problem and their idea of solutions is mostly based on gimme OPM via political pork.
We have the same problem, Megan, with one of our grandchildren. He has had jobs in the past – in school holidays. But since entering university 3 years ago he seems to be averse to p/t work. Admittedly, Covid intervened. But there have been plenty of opportunities after lockdown finished.
We are currently supporting his accomodation (as we had during his boarding years at Scots – not inconsiderable). But we are “over it”. He has struggled at university – so we persisted. But he now appears to have abandoned his degree & we are about to let him know that our payment of his share of a rented house is about to cease.
I might add that the younger grandchild has always been a hard worker – both at school ( & now university) & has always had p/t jobs which now accounts for a car which she mostly financed, and recently an OS holiday!
Puts her brother to shame.
“ALP National President Wayne Swan”
The Ex-Treasurer. I would not trust him with the tea money –
The financial year 2012-13 was meant to be the year Labor returned to surplus, “come hell or high water”, as then-treasurer Wayne Swan said. Labor even prematurely announced it had been “delivered” after the budget in May 2012. By December, the surplus had been abandoned, despite the government holding the line on spending. A predicted surplus last May of $2.5 billion became a deficit of $18.8 billion.

NSW Independent Dai Le, who appeared on the program with Mr Swan, said there was no way Australia could compete with countries like China.
Mr Swan hit back at Ms Le, challenging her as being “completely out of her depth”.
We saw that on TV this morning! Swan was a disgrace – a condescending, and probably misogynist creep!
One of my few political joys was years ago – when Swan was a Minister in the Labor government – was putting to him at a meeting that he didn’t have even a modicum of a “business plan” for the the Murray Darling scheme or the rollout of the NBN rollout. He gave me a withering look as I left – as only he can.
He really is a despicable creature. Very, very nasty.

Besides even if it wasn’t for long Dai worked in the private sector and claims to have helped set up the Fairfield City Champion newspaper. Swan’s private sector experience… Zilch.
If a venture is viable and promising great returns businesses will invest in an instant. When something doesn’t look right but governments are pushing it businesses will be in it only with the government’s money, namely subsidies.
A smart and honest government would give up after a certain time when the business cannot operate without taxpayer funds. We do not have a smart government, we have a corrupt government which is hellbent on placating their green voters whom they have radicalised. The businesses will go along because it’s not their money.
Essentially, what shits me off the most about these new taxes is that the governments (of both stripes) pay zero attention to reducing expenditure.
The way “foundations” and “charities” and the like get government grants is
out of control.

There are no houses being built, or not as many as needed, because at present it doesn’t make economic sense. Any contracts entered into will take current building material prices and labour costs into account. The pace of inflation puts the construction companies in danger of losing money in order to complete the jobs.
The simplest and best solution is to stop all immigration immediately which will ease the pressure on residential demands in the first instance and stabilise the rest of the economy by lowering inflation that owes a lot to mortgage interest rates.

Husband and I are great fans of the “9 Life” (ch 94) channel on free TV. This channel broadcasts “home fixer-uppers” in the US, as well as home purchasers in all of the US states – rural and city purchases. It is a real eye-opener re housing and prices in the USA. We are amazed at the level of quality building – much to the scepticism of friends here in the building industry. The prices are also incredibly cheap by Aussie standards – particularly outside the major cities on the coast. And, of course, many are in some of the most beautiful country in the world – particularly in forested areas and near lakes. It is no wonder to us that the USA is so coveted as a place of immigration.
BTW Ch94 also features shows which document holiday rentals and/or short term rentals in all cities and countries across the world. It really provides a remarkable insight into countries outside of the tourist traps.

Albanese to visit Kokoda Track in PNG on Anzac DayPrime Minister Anthony Albanese will visit the Kokoda Track ahead of Anzac Day commemorations during a visit to Papua New Guinea.
The trip, more than 80 years after troops fought along the rugged track to defend against a Japanese invasion, comes as Australia seeks closer ties with its closest neighbour.
The prime minister said the visit would honour the sacrifice of Australians who fought in the campaign.
“This year on Anzac Day I will be in Isurava on the Kokoda Track … taking the opportunity to show my respect to the remarkable effort to protect our nation at one of its darkest hours,” he said in a speech in Sydney on Friday.
The visit to Papua New Guinea comes after Albanese became the first Australian leader to address that country’s parliament. Marape also gave a speech to federal parliament in February.

The final line from Jack the Insider’s article on OJ:
But we can move in from the niceties now. Put OJ Simpson’s body in a bin liner and take him out with the trash.
He was on Dross Greenfilth’s business show on Sky last Sunday morning saying exactly what is apparently only being picked up on now. He was incredibly scathing about the current government’s idiotic policies and eye wateringly high taxes.
Why anyone would attempt to run any sort of business here that actually manufactured anything tangible or useful is beyond me. Unless you were on the subsidy train, of course.
Then it’s thanks taxpayers and full steam ahead to insolvency – at their expense, of course.
Kill me now, just kill me now.
Dover, I’m giving to the Nov elections and if Trump is cheated I’m done with the US. The love affair is over. I’ll be joining your side.
An old saying in the 90s was that American Jews live like WASPS, but vote like Puerto Ricans, meaning impossible to understand how they could vote Demon. Those less leftwing American Jews must be going through mental trauma at the moment over the vote.
Just get a load of the Dersh unable to say he’s voting Trump. He is of course.
Vicki I’ve been watching US youtubers doing rebuilds or building projects from scratch.
It’s quite delightful.
One of them, based in Alaska, supplements store bought lumber with dead spruce taken from his own property.
There might be Jack booted officials lurking but as they want what they build to last, be safe and functional they hardly need that oversight.
And Trump makes the trauma for these folks even worse. He just nonchalantly replies, when he’s asked a question about Israel etc., he says, Israel has never had a better friend than himself. He’s just tormenting them because they know it’s true.
Lot’s of Danish bricks are being used in new builds. They really look great. Much more expensive, I’d guess.

Interesting that OJ managed to shuffle off the playing field same week as Oscar Pistorius got out of the clink.
I had the misfortune to be visiting the US when the OJ stuff happened. The media reported on literally nothing else, it was like having to listen to Stairway to Heaven a thousand times straight. Ech! The US MSM was horrible even back then, worse now of course.
Perhaps we could get the unions to pilfer the supplies taken to PNG with him so he turns up without, say, shoes or medicines or such, or perhaps damage the plane.
Give him the real Kokoda Track experience.
This the real downside of Trump Derangement — American Jews who will never vote for him because it would make them a laughing stock among their friends at dinner parties, even though they know a second Trump presidency is the only way to restore US-Israel relations with Biden taking the side of the savages who butchered 1200 Jews last October,

Two snippets from The Navy – The Magazine of the Navy League of Australia, Vol. 86, No. 1:
Late news which most probably already know, is that the PLAN lost an experimental sub last August with all hands (a training crew). According to the Brits [who I’m guessing knew due to sigint], the sub was damaged after colliding with an underwater obstacle laid by its own navy to trap U.S. and other allied subs.
What I find most interesting -if the dates in this brief mention are correct – is that the information about the disaster was made public in China on an anti-government social media account the same day as the loss.
“This year on Anzac Day I will be in Isurava on the Kokoda Track …
While I applaud almost any solemn, politics-free commemoration of history, I would like our elite class to eventually discover there was more to Australia’s war in Papua and New Guinea than just the Owen Stanley – Beachheads campaign, and Milne Bay.
The Wau-Salamaua Campaign (which I’ve referred to previously) embraced a period of 18 months, both prior to and after both of the aforementioned. Australians were fighting in northern New Guinea, New Britain, Bougainville, and three different locations in Borneo when the war concluded.
Having dragged myself (slowly and painfully) along the Kokoda Track and read quite a bit about it, I don’t seek to strip it of acknowledgement, but I would like to slap the lazy media and political class into a realisation that the greater majority of Aussies who fought in the SWPA got nowhere near the Kokoda Track or Milne Bay.
This won’t be politics free.
I’ll also add that I’m tired of Prime Ministers elevating themselves to de facto head of state.

Perth’s Blue Room Theatre slammed over Palestine stance
By paul garvey
One of Perth’s most prominent independent theatre groups has been accused of creating an unsafe space for members of the Jewish community after it issued a public “statement of solidarity” towards Palestine.
The Blue Room Theatre posted a statement on social media declaring that it stood in solidarity with the Palestinian people while slamming Israel over its conduct during the conflict.
“By starving Gaza, bombing hospitals and cutting off food, medicine, fuel and humanitarian aid, Israel is committing genocide and war crimes,” the theatre’s statement read.
“We support Palestinian liberation. We urge our Australian government to support Palestine’s freedom by demanding an immediate ceasefire, an end to the Gaza blockade, an end to Israeli occupation, oppression, apartheid and ethnic cleansing.”
The theatre has long been a launching pad for young Perth talent and has Western Australia’s prominent Chaney family among its biggest backers.
Its main sources of funding come from federal and state government agencies.
Theatrical people should be careful what they wish for, their profession isn’t a popular one in the ME.
A bit of houthi tookey notwithstanding.
