Ukrainian officials say they’ve intercepted a plot to assassinate Volodymyr Zelenskyy. What happens if the country lost the ‘public face’ of the war
The cynical amongst us might characterise the appearance of such media narratives as harbingers of a major realignment of the West’s global strategic priorities.* Segments of Western publics may need some signalling that they no longer must insist that it is in our vital national interests that Ukraine not be defeated by Russia.
My position on the matter has not changed since the Russians invaded Ukraine – not our backyard, not our business, we are delusional to think we can win against Russia in that part of the world, our ‘grand strategists’ in positions of power all need to be fired and the institutions that trained them shut down.
*Probably to refocus on some damned foolish thing in the Middle East and/ or the South China Sea. It seems we will not learn and thus must be taught.
Second! And greetings from San Sebastian. So far we have driven from the Balearic Sea to the Bay of Biscay.
Not my first time here, and not as busy as memory serves. The bars are as crowded as ever.
What struck me most on the drive was the complete dominance of the landscape by wind “farms”. How any raptors survive here is a mystery. Also, roadside plants – tamarisk, roses and golden broom. Some red field poppies are also in bloom. All rather beautiful, but spoiled by industrial ugliness.
So much for the environment loving “Greens”. What a joke.
And in other bird news, the storks are nesting. All along the motorway, perched atop electricity stanchions, great flat nests are being refurbished. The enormous birds are busily flying to and fro, beaks full of twigs.
Again, I wonder how they survive the mighty turbulence of the nearby mincers. Perhaps many don’t.
Sacrifices to Gaia.

Today marks the end of the forth week of this sowing season.
Everyone concerned is averaging just under or just over 100hrs week.
Canola and wheat are up, boosted by 12mm last Friday/Sat.
Lentils finished yesterday morning and we are now on barley, hoping to finish a 350ha paddock before more forecast flanneries (ff’s) arrive tonight and tomorrow promising up to 40mm. We’ll take it of course but 20mm would be better.
Will still be 620ha of barley, 440 of field peas and 380 of irrigated durum to go when it drys out.
Walgett client has already had near 50mm with another 30 forecast. Canola and wheat doing nicely with chickpeas slated to go in on the 15th.
Long story short, it’s another great start to a season!
Wind turbines and solar panels are making a difference already!!
Early yesterday morning I posted a comment asking why a rather nasty and sinister rabid Muslim commentator by the name of ‘Sami Hamdi’ had been granted a visa to visit these shores.
Mr Samdi is currently ‘touring’ this country, and he has been very busy whilst here, attending and addressing lots of pro-Palestine events, including an appearance at Sydney University a few days ago. Samdi is on the record as lauding and celebrating the wholesale rape, murder and kidnapping of Jews on October 7 2023 He’s a well known Muslim extremist, he doesn’t much like Zionists and Jews very much. He’s quite open about his dislike.
Last night I watched in dismay the footage of Mr Samdi addressing the Sydney university crowd. His words were lapped up by the young indoctrinated fools. It wasn’t just offensive to watch, it was disturbing.
Nevertheless, despite his unapologetic Jew hatred, Mr Samdi was given a visa by our Home Affairs department, and so I remain rather perplexed and bewildered as to why this is so, and further, why he hasn’t been given his marching orders.
We all remember how Katie Hopkins was treated back in 2021, she was unceremoniously deported from these shores after some words she’d spoken…about Covid….but here’s the thing, those words weren’t exhorting people to hunt down Zionists (code…Jews). I have never seen or heard Ms Hopkins exhort her followers to violence or threats or intimidation. And we remember how various governments have denied or stalled visas to other far less offensive commentators, almost always commentators of the right.
Last night on his programme Andrew Bolt led with this, and it made me wonder whether Bolt reads this site, because the words Bolt spoke last night about Samdi were written by me yesterday morning. I’m flattered, look I could be wrong, but Bolt and others would be well served reading this site and C.L.’s marvellous blog.
Oh and where is the Coalition on this? They should be loudly calling for the deportation of the Jew hating Samdi. Or perhaps their timidness is because for far too long they have been the wagging tail of the left, as evidenced two weeks ago when they rushed to join in Labor and the Greens’ heckling and pile on of X and Musk. The Liberals and Nationals never seem to learn anything.
I note that there will be a senate inquiry into…wait for it….”right-wing extremism”……LOL. Maybe this site will be mentioned?
Years ago I read a book about this country called ‘The Fatal Shore’. I can safely assert that this country is now The Foolish Shore.
How’s the rain Bushie? Blokes around here are sowing dry and need some rain soon to kick off
RE airport security goons from the old thread. I watched in fury at Heathrow last Christmas as a ‘subcontinental’ goon reduced a young teen girl to tears.
The kid had a small pink backpack which we learned contained a dozen or so small gift wrapped parcels. Little dolls. Obviously gifts for he friends.
The arsehole forced her to unwrap each one of them destroying the wrapping and reducing the kid to tears.
He was just on a racist power trip attacking a white kid. Her mother was useless but the queue were infuriated and became vocal.
Of course they called the cops who were not too agressive but told everyone to behave or …….
As the queue progressed the senior copper quietly told everyone to submit a complaint. Obviously the goon had form.
That is amazing BB. We haven’t been able to get on because of the constant rain. BOM’s forecast drought resulted in near continuous rain since November.
We didn’t summer sow because of the drought forecasts. As it turned out, the headers would have bogged attempting to harvest now, so in a perverse way BOM’s catastrophe prediction was useful.
I see at Insty that one of the Noo Yuk state pollimuppets who voted for the special law used against DJT by the slag E Jean is now facing an historical rope charge under the same law.

Just read Greg Hunt’s submission to Covid inquiry. Thought he may be giving a mea culpa – but no – the maniac is still supporting the mRNA vaccines – even AZ which the manufacturers have withdrawn!
They will never admit the damage that they incurred. Hunt is interpreting increased deaths – even in nursing homes where vaccination was mandatory – to Covid. This is in spite of increasing worldwide acknowledgement by virologists & other medicos that the vax was a terrible mistake.
I guess that the reality would be too hard to live with. As I progressively hear of sudden cancer and heart attacks amongst contemporaries and other medical emergencies I now say nothing – except to express extreme sorrow. It is too cruel to say otherwise,
@mazemoore
Chris Cuomo just said that ivermectin works, he takes it daily, and that the medical community knew it couldn’t hurt you if you took it for Covid.
Flashback to Cuomo version 2020.
And there are people who still believe it. And believe that persecuting those who declined the jab was warranted “to keep others safe”.

Back in my corporate dressing days, I used to go to Melbourne at about this time every year to buy a couple of winter outfits. Canberra was pretty limited in that regard. Melbourne was the fashion capital of Australia, and I always came back well satisfied with high quality, classic and practical purchases. Not cheap, but would last for many years and not go out of fashion.
Was talking to a friend yesterday who just came back from a trip to Melbourne where, among other things, she intended to buy some clothes.
She said that a lot of her favourite boutiques are gone, victims of the COVID lockdowns and now the recession. Footslogging around, she found a couple of things, but the whole fashion vibe is dead or dying.
Another casualty of the wrecking ball of Dan’s regime. And it’s not insignificant – being the nation’s fashion centre is worth many, many dollars and jobs.

UN Accuses Israel of Denying Aid as Hamas Fires on Aid Crossing
Had a jog at hockey last night-
-every bloke knew about the Bunnings Stabby Boy- and were happy to joke a bit about it.
-NONE OF THE WOMEN KNEW.
There’s something funny going on- us older boys can talk about any subject, ones we’re on opposite sides of, like climate change, tranny teachers and a local swindle farm- but the women are largely schtum on anythng contentious, either through social conformity or just plain ignorance.
I’m thinking that maybe humour is the mixer that allows us men to discuss and digest things, yet the lockdown of commentary about anything contentious, meaning the exorcating incantation “that’s just not funny”, means the subject does not even get distributed in the first place.
In the middle ground, communitarian gags about things like creepy priests and the King speaking in a stuck-up voice are recycled constantly. The creepy priests thing is even current for younger kids to laff about- although it might be a shortcut for sniping at religious schools, it shows it’s as old as the chicken crossing the road.
I’ll also add that two mates have, in two minutes, eclipsed every gag that has ever been cracked at Tom Ballard or Ross Quantock.

Hi mate.
We have been putting seed into moisture from the start and even though it was becoming hard on the machinery prior to last Friday we were still able to do it. It’s been ideal since that but, ironically, this next lot has the potential to make things too wet. This is not a complaint, just the way it’ll end up, we have a full subsoil profile after the ElNino after all.
Re the dry down your way, yes, my Horsham client sent me a pic the other day of his airseeder shrouded in dust. I’m guessing Gez is in the same boat. Hope they get a drink from this lot.
Cognitive warfare: how the West is losing its youthMichael de Percy and Sascha Dov Bachmann
The Spectator
Part I
Pro-Palestinian student protests across the US have led to allegations of anti-Israel hate crimes and damage to property and occupations of university buildings that have created an environment in US academia which is – rightly – perceived as hostile to Jewish students and staff. Following the lead of elite campuses in the US, students at Australian universities began their own protest action, protest camps, and even occupation of university buildings.
The current situation indicates that the West is losing its youth to anti-Enlightenment ideas about liberty and security perpetuated through cognitive warfare.
Student protests are not new: recent examples come to mind that were critical of military intervention or climate change. What is new, however, is that the support for Hamas-led Palestine is also an open challenge to our Western liberalism, democratic values, and heritage which brought about the Enlightenment. It is precisely these rights that allow for the expression of one’s opinion and to demonstrate peacefully.
But support for Palestine is in fact support for Hamas, an internationally recognised terrorist organisation, which is a proxy of the global state sponsor of terrorism, Iran, and its regional non-state actors. Hamas started the war when it attacked Israel on 7 October last year, where it and other Islamist terrorists (including civilian Palestinians) allegedly went on a rampage of rape and murder in Israel.
Hundreds of civilians (including infants) were taken hostage and over 1,000 civilians were allegedly murdered. The number of alleged deaths alone makes this massacre of Jews the worst since the Nazi Holocaust of over 75 years ago.
The events of this day were celebrated immediately across the globe and not only in the Middle East. The Sydney Opera House was the backdrop of a pro-Palestinian rally with reports of antisemitic chants including ‘gas the Jews’ (an allegation which was disputed by NSW Police later). Prime Minister Albanese and Foreign Minister Penny Wong condemned the antisemitism, but the condemnation did not extend to what has been supported through omission since then.
PART II
Australia has seen an ever-increasing cascade of pro-Palestinian activism, fuelled by The Greens, some academics, trade unions, and fringe activist groups (which the Prime Minister recently referred to as ‘Trots’ – or ‘Trotskyists’). This activism created cognitive dissonance through distorted narratives, such as equating Hamas with a legitimate liberation movement, demonising Israel and Jews in general as colonisers of foreign land, and morphing the protest into something far more dangerous: a general protest against the ‘West’ and the glorification of Islamist terror organisations from Hamas to the Houthis.
Chants of ‘From the River to the Sea – Israel will be free’ and ‘Global Intifada’ on our streets and university campuses of today will become the challenge call of our present way of life in Australia and the West more broadly.
The greatest threat to the West is identity politics. Identity politics is a logical extension of the Enlightenment and of John Stuart Mill’s liberalism. But practised in the extreme, it can lead to individualism that conflicts with the idea of the common good. James Fitzjames Stephen argued against Mill’s version of liberty. Stephen criticised Mill’s religious zeal in support of individualism and argued that:
Part III
We find the West in this space now. Western youth, in a quest for individual identities that determine their rights and privileges, have lost their cultural identity. Lacking identity, they have become susceptible to malicious influence. This space is ripe for coercion and ultimately the loss of the West.
If we lose our youth to identity politics, we lose the great ideas that make Western Civilisation the most successful of all hitherto civilisations in terms of individual liberties, rights, and individual prosperity. And identity politics is ripe for exploitation by the enemies of the Western way of life.
The most obvious example in Australia is the copycat/cosplay approach by mostly white, well-to-do students to pro-Palestinian protests at our elite universities. Interestingly, only the elite universities have these camps. Working-class and regional universities do not have the same type of privileged students who can afford to live out their identity politics.
There is a major assumption that ignores not only the diversity of human experience and the practical realities of human nature but the evidence of individuals on the public record. Some people just do not fit the ‘narrative’.
Even the term ‘the narrative’ is a socialist construct. We don’t need to ‘change the narrative’. We need to understand that ‘the narrative’ is a socialist construct designed to speed up the process of ’contradiction’.
Most importantly, extreme individualism contradicts the very idea of liberal democracy. John Stuart Mill was radical for his time, and while we might accept that ‘eccentricity’ is good for diversity of opinion and lived experience, diversity is not good in all circumstances, especially when it comes to cohesion within a democratic society, resilience, and in the end, national security, which brings us back to our case.
Part IV
Australians are losing their identity to the point where our universities are protecting free speech that supports proscribed terrorist organisations and vilifies Jews in general. James Fitzjames Stephen warned of such tyranny in his critique of John Stuart Mill.
James Fitzjames Stephen’s critique of Mill was relegated to the dustbin of history. Until now. But his work was visionary. Stephen understood that when governments lose their moral compass, so too does society.
But the Australian example is one among many in the West. Europe has had its fair share of identity politics. The major difference is that Europe is re-experiencing the tropes that were used during the Cold War by the Soviet Union – in effect, an attempt to undermine the West by using its own success against itself.
This is now known as cognitive warfare, where psychological operations (PSYOPS) are being used to manipulate public opinion in the target state’s population to undermine social cohesion, trust in the government, and institutions. Developed during the Cold War by the Soviet Union to target the West, cognitive superiority is achieved by manipulating opinions, emotions, and attitudes. Russia has been key player in this domain in Europe. It was only a question of time until Western identity would be targeted more generally. Hamas as Palestinian resistance against Israeli occupiers is a continuation of a Soviet cognitive warfare trope aimed at Western audiences. The use of modern mass social media platforms such as TikTok as a tool for cognitive disinformation has been proven to be effective: the recent Tiktok craze ‘Bin Laden’s letter to America’ has shown that there is no limit to the extent of disinformation and its success among Western Gen Z audiences due to absence of resilience among the audience.
Cognitive warfare was easier to identify in the past when it was known as PSYOPS. Leaflet dropping or broadcasts to enemy forces were targeted at particular audiences. Now, however, the approach is more general in nature and influences cognitive behaviour through memes – or snippets of cultural information – that lead to what we might now refer to as ‘Woke tropes’.
The only defence against cognitive warfare as we now know it is to re-establish our Western and national identities, something that is being undone by the decolonisation project.
But contradiction is at the core of cognitive warfare. Our Enlightenment and liberal democratic traditions allow us to debate and protest, but free speech is now being used as a cognitive weapon against us.
Israel, for example, is the decolonisation project par excellence, but it does not fit ‘the narrative’. We caution anyone who finds themselves referring to ‘the narrative’ in their professional lives. This is a major part of cognitive warfare and is replacing the stories we tell each other that reinforce the liberties and standard of living our forebears enabled.
The worst part of the current geopolitical situation is not that we are engaged in a battle for hearts and minds. This has been a large part of warfare for the last several decades.
Rather it is by protecting freedom of speech at any cost, unless of course it is antisemitic, we are losing our youth to cognitive warfare that is designed to use our way of life against us.

The same goes for all the green and climate related demonstrations, the idle and comfortable classes are the only ones able to do what they want when they want. The working class students want to get through their studies as quickly as possible in order to start a career and a life, they are also likely to have part-time jobs while studying and so no free time for dilettante virtue signalling.
We can confidently conclude that the upper classes have always been the protesting classes and I think it stems from an inferiority complex. Their parents and grandparents have created the comfortable world in which they live so their efforts are not likely to add much if anything to it. Therefore if they destroy that world they will create something much better, fairer and grander.

We did that drive in reverse – in the other direction, not in reverse gear – in 2016. We always thought we would go by train, but that isn’t easy to do.
I was struck by the nearly deserted motorways with traffic bumper to bumper on the minor roads. Couldn’t figure it out.
Until we got to our first toll booth.
I think it cost us EUR 120 for tolls and one nights parking in Barthelona.

I saw this in action at JFK about ten years ago. Long line at passport control which included quite a number of obviously Orthodox Jews, some with 4-5 kids (they were all carrying a sort bouquet of plants, which I didn’t know the significance of).
Enter swarthy 5’4″ DHS operative with the unmistakable Lebbo strut. He walks up and down the queue and loudly picks out Mueslis (maybe with one kid, maybe just a couple) with the same line “You a family? Yes, yes. Come with me to the priority gate”.
So obviously a FU to everyone else in line, particularly the Jews.

A good example of how rub and tug’s new dis and mis laws will apply in Australia.
My personal experience from the Dawn of Time is that this is highly true.
For a son of toil, there was nothing as entertaining as listening to a soft-handed, wispy-bearded, middle-class student Marxist explaining wukka issues and urging protest. Up there with DIY eye tattooing.
On the same vein, I suspect that very few students of any persuasion studying vocational subjects are out occupying with the stinkies and bead boys.

Much hilarity.
The customer, a small, swarthy bloke who could have been Indonesian or Filipino in origin, there with his wife/girlfriend, responded in a broad Australian accent with ‘I’m Justin, but some of my friends call me Justine.’ More hilarity ensued.

I think that involved getting up early.
So that was a “no”.
There is a very good piece in Tablet Magazine on just who is financing the large scale elite university protests across the USA (and I suspect some of this dosh is making its way offshore too…to the UK and here).
The piece is called….
‘The People Setting America on Fire’. – An investigation into the witches’ brew of billionaires, Islamists, and leftists behind the campus protests
Link is here Tablet is not paywalled so I will not post the piece in full and besides, it’s lengthy.
https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/news/articles/people-setting-america-on-fire-soros-tides-wespac
It makes for chilling reading. You see, these protests require a lot of dosh to fund them, and the reality is that they are being generously funded by many large and well known corporate foundations and donors. Have you noticed the tents used in the pro-Palestinian encampments at universities here in Oz, the USA and the UK? These are being funded, not by the students, but by donors.
People like to focus on Soros’ Open Foundation but his foundation is not the only large corporate donor currently financing radical far-left causes, there are numerous others, two of the biggest and most prominent being the Ford Foundation and the Rockefeller Foundation. Over the last decade these foundations have funded BLM protests, BDS lobby groups, anti-Israel protests, the DNC, Democrat candidates, Occupy Wall Street protests, Extinction Rebellion protests, climate lobby groups and so on. Money has been poured into organisations such as the ADL and the SPLC, in the process politically corrupting and discrediting them. I could go on.
Here is Oz we’ve seen a similar phenomenon. The Teal movement is the brains of Svengali Simon, who carefully selected and used a number of Stepford Skanks in blue ribbon Liberal electorates to further his personal grudge against the Liberal Party, particularly Josh Frydenberg, along with the fact that Svengali Simon is also making a lots of dosh from renewables. Svengali Simon, prior to the 2022 election, was also able to lure other bored ‘millionaires’ in to support his Stepford Skanks. It worked well, those Stepford Skanks snatched every blue ribbon Liberal electorate in the country.
The mega rich are funding the revolution, not a new phenomenon. The question is, how do we combat this? I don’t know because here’s the rub, money talks.
I saw this in action at JFK about ten years ago. Long line at passport control which included quite a number of obviously Orthodox Jews, some with 4-5 kids (they were all carrying a sort bouquet of plants, which I didn’t know the significance of).
They were, no doubt, carrying a lulav….it’s a plant used during Sukkot.
Excellent article at Red State about Patriots keeping the Harvard tent city dwellers awake at night.

Yeah, another one is Tides Foundation.
Who is paying for the American campus protests? (3 May)
Tides Foundation is notorious for funding climate crazies all over the world. It further illustrates the links between the green movement and antisemitism, which we saw with Saint Greta recently.
Tom Steyer seems to be involved in this stuff too, he’s another notorious greenie billionaire.
Does anyone know if merchan and stormy were ever an item?
Anyway just to be perfectly clear: Trump never had sex with the stormy slut.
Mate was pointing out there seemed to be some questionable links between the WA police commissioner and a couple of uni based lawyers/ uman rites/ refugee /abbo groups.
Leading up to the decision to lay charges against the officer who shot the abbo lady with the knife in Geraldton.
There is a perfect self reinforcing circle at work where uni based organisations produce ” studies” which back up their opinions which are then laundered as ” apolitical”, all paid for by the taxpayer.

This would have been around September or October.
Hairy drew my attention to this last nite. During the recent Jewish Holocaust Memorial Day a group of Islamics walked the railway line towards the entrance of Auschwitz carrying their Palestinian flag.
What a horrible and deliberate provocation, reported here.
Just saw the idiot Sleaze dressed up in hi-viz and hat spluttering and stumbling about the Vic North-East Link and that morphed into gas and net zero 2050.
The trot is an imbecile. Like Turnbull, he opens the mouth, words come out but, as much as you try to understand, nothing makes sense.
You shake your head “what did he say?”
Fcuking nothing.
The mega rich are funding the revolution, not a new phenomenon. The question is, how do we combat this? I don’t know because here’s the rub, money talks.
The question is, WHY? What will they get out of it that they don’t already have?
Maybe it is just entertainment for them?
Their goal would be to further the establishment of the so-called global community at the expense of the sovereign nation state, which they regard as an impediment to solving problems such as climate change, poverty and nuclear war.
That’s the philosophy of cosmopolitanists like Soros, et al (btw I think it’s a mistake to focus just on Soros, as a sort of bogeyman of the right, along with the much less serious Schwab).
Things haven’t been going too well in the globalisation business lately, which might explain the rather cynical use of the Palestinian cause, such as it is, to mobilise protest.

Oct 7th was a glorious day of victory they tell us.
It’s the same Arab tale as usual.
Palestine now resembles Dresden.
These bastards will be in real trouble if they ever lose one…
So, Astra Zeneca have withdrawn their “vaccine” from the markets.
Not that there was anything wrong with it, ….., oh not at all.
Perish the thought.
There may have been a “clotting” problem, with a small number of “unlucky” recipients, but, it is just that other “vaccines” may be, ….., err, …., better.
Nothing to worry, …., or more importantly, sue about.
Now, prior to 2019, it took at least ten years, (if EVERYTHING went well), for a vaccine to come onto the market. The reason for that was all that bothersome testing. Three phases, the first two of which took the best part of 4 years each.
Now really, how is a pharmaceutical company expected to make money if they have to follow that tiresome testing?
Not to mention the outlay of cash to conduct it all.
Correct me if Im wrong, but the first strains of the “alleged virus” called
Covid 19, sprang up in China, in October 2019.
Miraculously, Pfizer, AZ and J&J all somehow managed to get their “vaccines” onto the market in the US, by Dec 2020. Australia received these
wonder medicines in March 2021.
Gosh those geniuses at Pfizer and AZ worked wonders didn’t they, to get ten years worth of testing compressed into 14 months.
They deserve a medal, ….., right?
ANU’s Professor Peter Collignon in the Oz …
I agree with this, but it prompts the question he does not ask.
If we are playing the “relative risk” game, why give the vax to a 40 year old who is at zero risk of dying from covid but you now introduce a 1 in 100,000 risk of death from a clot, and much higher risk of other chronic but not fatal conditions?
Because of various compliance workshops, I ended up here at the HRC
Positive Duty
My question is: If I have to do all that to comply with the law, on the other side of the coin, why do I have to put up with leaders and followers (not radical, just run of the mill) who have sworn to persecute me or kill me and my family, time and time again?
the mocker Andrew Giles is so removed from his responsibilities he might as well be in space
It has been two years since Immigration Minister Andrew Giles assumed his portfolio, and his performance has been the subject of much mention these last seven months. Suffice to say he is a reminder that ministers should not be appointed unless they at least have a passing knowledge of the concept of ministerial responsibility in the Westminster system.
No example better illustrates Giles’s ineptitude than his failure to manage the 149 immigration detainees released into the community following the High Court’s decision in the case of NZYQ in November, which held that immigration detainees could not be held in custody indefinitely if there was no reasonable prospect of their being deported.
On reflection, it was harsh and unfair of me to say Giles botched their release. If anything, he speedily managed the discharge of these criminals and other undesirables, including murderers, rapists, and paedophiles. So speedily in fact that just days after the court’s decision, 27 of them were dumped at a suburban motel in Perth without supervision. What I should have said was that Giles did an excellent job of releasing them quickly but has proved utterly useless at ensuring the community’s safety in the process.
That debacle is of little surprise, given he had no legislative contingency plans for an adverse decision in the NZYQ case, despite the court’s intimating in June that it would overturn its precedent allowing indefinite detaining of dangerous unlawful citizens. That Giles was absent for at least three meetings with senior legal counsel from his department in the lead-up to the court’s decision is a remarkable case of ministerial indifference.
Not that Giles is short of grandiose assurances when it comes to questions about overseeing the released detainees. “What we are working on … is to make sure we leave no stone unturned in managing this cohort,” he declared during a press conference in December, stating no less than seven times that he was doing everything possible to “keep the community safe”.
Five months have passed since then, yet as Perth woman Ninette Simons knows only too well, Giles is still working on his plan to leave no stone unturned. Last month the 73-year-old grandmother and her husband, Philip, 76, were viciously bashed during a home invasion and robbery. Among the three people charged is freed immigration detainee and convicted drug trafficker Majid Jamshidi Doukoshkan.

South Yarra attack: Melbourne grandmother reveals how she fought off sex attacker with her walker after he pounced on her in a lift
Daily Mail. Strikes me that this lady would make a damnfine Kitteh.
From The Oz…
Police have erected a mobile surveillance unit at Monash University in Melbourne on Thursday the day after outside activists hijacked a peaceful protest by students.
Police were called into the university on Wednesday to investigate an incident, in which pro-Palestine activist Mohammad Sharab swore at and abused Jewish students as they walked past.
The camera was erected to keep a watchful eye on the area and in the hope of dissuading any further incidents like that seen on Wednesday.
The mood was certainly much more calm among the sea of tents erected on the campus’s lemon scented lawns on Thursday morning.
Protesters were also seen erecting a makeshift fence around the camp, hammering in wooden stakes and orange barrier mesh, before being asked by school security to take it down.
One security officer was overheard saying “they would pull it down” if the students didn’t do it themselves, but the protesters did so without incident.
Mr Sharab on Wednesday was seen yelling “I am a Palestinian from Gaza,’’ to a Jewish student trying to walk past the pro-Palestine protesters.
“What you are experiencing right now is exactly what I experienced my entire f..king life, going from one city to the other, through checkpoints. Look how uncomfortable you are,” he added.
“Israel is a terrorist state and Zionism is a terrorist entity. Now get your phone and f..k off.”
It is worth noting that Mohammad Sharab was charged in February over his alleged involvement in a kidnapping and assault of a man in Melbourne. Sharab was subsequently granted bail (the judge also tried to impose a suppression order on the case which was overturned). There is also a video put up by Avi Yemeni last week showing Sharab outside the Victorian state parliament and it is very clear that Sharab engages in threatening and intimidatory behaviour, particularly at Jews. The video of him with Avi is very revealing. Oh, and I am pretty sure that Sharab is not a student at Monash.
And in news from the University of Queensland….
Queensland police confirmed a 23-year-old woman from West End had been fined for trespassing and then taken to hospital after she “attended a study area before allegedly creating a disturbance’’ on May 3.
The next day, another “disturbance’’ required police to attend the university and charge a 23-year-old West End woman with public nuisance.
A UQ spokeswoman said it had sought “police support on another matter involving a student and staff member, which has been conflated with the protests on campus’’.
That disturbance involved the 23 year old female breaking into the university office of a Jewish academic and which she proceeded to urinate in.
Classy lot, these ‘pro-Palestinian’ protesters.
Funny how the press has buried the story of Australia’s purchase of the AZ vaccine. They were very keen on it at the time, not least because of the Australian angle – AZ’s French born globe trotting CEO resides in Sydney and was reportedly in personal contact with Morrison. I’m not suggesting he acted improperly in any way, but the public deserves to know the nature of the government’s dealings here. And what of the TGA, which provisionally approved it? Did they have any pressure applied to them to do so? A curious journalist might seek to obtain all official correspondence relating to the matter under FYI, just for starters.

West Coast Eagles FC released a brief statement about a player (Tyler Brockman) being in a single car accident, which may have involved alcohol, and definitely involved leaving the scene of an accident.
Normally football clubs are very keen to announce sanctions against junior players who screw up, but the Eagles have gone vewwy, vewwy quiet on this one.
Why?
Some hints.
The accident was in Geraldton.
It happened early Saturday morning.
He attended a family funeral on Friday.
“His personal circumstances are complex”.
Had the pharma corporation done just that I would have forgiven them. Getting the money for nothing would have been far more forgivable than injecting harmful substances into the entire population just to get the money.
A few years back we were hearing of a case being brought in international courts seeking compensation for property expropriated from Jews fleeing persecution in Islamic countries.
This was brought to mind by a graph about where Israelis came from and how many Jews remain in those countries.

It’s interesting to look at the COVID debacle with these three groups in mind. Pretty clear techno-globalists loved it for the obvious reasons. Neocons loved it so long as it was under US leadership, and while Third-Worldists were neutral they needed buy-in for their support.

Barriers pulled down at Monash University
Staff writers
On Thursday afternoon security at Monash University started to break down a barrier that had been built around the camp with chairs and signs.
One of the campers approached the security guards, accusing them of putting their safety at risk.
“This the only protection we have from violent pro-Israel supporters,” she said. “A woman was violently assaulted here yesterday.”
As security continued to take down this makeshift barrier the crowd started chanting.
“Monash University we know which side your on, remember South Africa, remember Vietnam,” they said.
While a camp rep took to the stage claiming they had been silenced by the University.
“This morning Monash told us we can no longer say ‘from the river to sea’, he said.
“This is an attack on free speech.”

As far as I’m aware, AstraZeneca used a dead virus carrier for spike protein, rather than Mrna which reprogrammed your body to produce spike protein.
Mrs. and I had two shots each of AZ and avoided Mrna – which has yet to be fully pinged for the deleterious effects. There was learned opinion online warning about Mrna well before the repressive regime ground its heel into our faces.

All medications carry some risk.
Trading off a low risk medication to mitigate a high risk event is sensible.
But what is not so sensible is administering a low risk medication for a zero risk event (i.e. a healthy 40 year old catching Kung Flu).

Victoria Police to apologise for Stolen Generation roleHolly HalesAAP
Thu, 9 May 2024 7:12AM
Victoria Police will apologise for its role in the Stolen Generations as part of reforms stemming from the state’s truth-telling inquiry.
Chief Commissioner Shane Patton has confirmed the force’s commitments will include improved processes for Aboriginal people dealing with police.
This will involve expanded cultural awareness training across the organisation and upgraded reporting of police statistics about Aboriginal people.
In total, Victoria Police will carry out 79 reforms by the end of 2025 as part of the its response to the Yoorrook Justice Commission.
Yoorrook is creating an official public record on the impact of colonisation on Aboriginal people in Victoria and will recommend actions to address historical and ongoing injustices.
Mr Patton’s announcement came on the first anniversary of his apology in front of the inquiry for the mistreatment of First Nations people by police.
A Victoria Police spokesman said Mr Patton’s Stolen Generations apology will take place next month in front of survivors and relatives of those impacted.
“The chief commissioner will deliver an apology to the survivors of the Stolen Generations and their families at a community event in Thornbury on Friday 24 May,” he said.
Police on Wednesday unveiled the installation of a shield presented to the force at last year’s Yoorrook’s appearance.
Yoorrook Commission Chair Eleanor Bourke said police needed to implement further actions to correct any wrongs of the past.
“First Peoples have long suffered from broken promises and unfulfilled commitments following momentous apologies and acknowledgements,” she said.
“As I said a year ago, your apology must bring real change, chief commissioner. And it must be lasting.”
Yoorrook’s final report is expected to be handed down in 2025
Tom Collins has just platformed Nick Riemer, disgusting anti Semite, from Sydney uni. No push back on any statement and only the most gentle of suggestions in opposition to any statement the reemer had to say.
Sky betwwn midday and 6 is basically an audition for spots at the ABC.
Ms Grieve has 23 confidential sources that include patients, doctors & orthopaedic surgeons.
The court also relied on 8 or 9 orthopaedic surgeons as independent experts in this case.
Sue C has hit up Grieve a couple of times over the past few days asking was confidential witness #whatever involved in this case as a witness.
To which Grieve has declined to answer on the grounds of confidentiality.
It’s more than likely there has been crossover between the Al Muderis competitors who were confidential sources for Grieve who were also expert witnesses.
Sue C has also dropped that one in too “you relied on his competitors who were happy to discredit Al Muderis on the basis of confidentiality”.
Shows how moronic Grieve was to let the surgeons to speak off the record.
Shows what a pack of whiny bitches the orthopaedic community is.

WA Budget just released; lots of rosy stories (like renewing their $400p.a. energy subsidy and some other MetroNet and other guff…but here are some facts (as noted from the buget papers themselves)..
-Wages growth was 4.25% and expected to drop to 3%.
-Iron ore prices were $116 and expected to drop to $71.
-Unemployment rate is 3.75% and expected to grow to 4.75%.
-Net debt is $28.6Bn and expected to grow to $40.9Bn.
-2023/24 Budget surplus of $3.1Bn to drop to $2.4Bn.
So… by the end of the outyears we’re going to be poorer, with more expenses, less surplus and more unemployment.
Ok WA Labor.
Pervert apologist thinks Israel is a client state of the US. Israel does receive arms and other military assistance from the US, without that military hardware, and such things as the Iron dome, then more Israeli Jews would be slaughtered as they were on October 7, an event that clearly makes the pervert apologist happy. Odd though, the pervert apologist says nothing about how Gaza under Hamas has been a loyal client vassal of Iran and the mullahs.
But we know which side our resident pervert apologist is on. He’s on the side of Jew haters and Jew killers. He’s made that very clear here, time and time again.
Here’s the thing, like attracts like, Nazis attract other Nazis, very homeopathic.
Hamas has made it very clear that October 7 was a nice dress rehearsal for them, a dress rehearsal the pervert apologist clearly supports, of raped, slaughtered, mutilated and kidnapped Jewish men, women and children.
Oh…and it is worth noting that Israel also buys military hardware from the UK, Germany and India.
-Iron ore prices were $116 and expected to drop to $71.
That’s a spicy meatball.
It’s pretty clear, isn’t it, the pervert apologist wants Israel to lose and wants to see more dead Jews.
What a charmer, remember, he’s the one who has appeared here for years calling those whose opinions he doesn’t like…Nazis…but here’s the truth, the only Nazi he sees on a daily basis is the one he sees when he looks in the mirror.

Anything which moves us closer to Israel nuking the joint is welcome news.
Got talking to a pal about coal. I looked at Whitehaven stock which is a pure coal play or close to.
You could’ve bought the stock in the latter part of 2020 for 93 cents. It’s currently trading at 7.72.
Since 2020, there’s been $1.72 of cumulative dividends, which means the divs alone would have paid out 180% of the outlay if you have bought the stock on the laws just a couple of years ago.
Over ~4 years a .93 cents investment would’ve have made you a $8.51 return. The return is is over 900%.
Coal pays.

The kid molester has said the US will halt shipments of arms that could be used in belting Rafah. According to the WSJ, that doesn’t include defensive armaments to shoot down missiles etc. Israel is going to go hard into Rafah and all will be fine.
Hiden is just worried about the Hamarse wing of the party causing more problems.
Did you know you can charge $1.65 +GST a minute for that sort of chat?
This is NOT satire.
Very funny though.

Errr…I’m not an expert, but Ms Grieve appears to have a Hermes birkin bag.
Or a replica/knock off.
Gutfeld and Watters, the best social and political commentators going around on slut stormy and the missionary position:
I thought the missionary position was when you prayed for sex.
Still they’re not querying the stormy lie because for them it is irrelevant.
I also wish Gutfeld would leave Kristi Noem and her fuking dead dog alone. But Kristi did bail from his program while appearing on Watters and handling the dog shooting very well. But Gutfeld and Judge Janine both have dogs and are displeased with Kristi shooting the devil dog.
Hey JC
why would the WA State Budget have Iron Ore prices going from $113 this year to $71 in the fourth outyear? That’s a bit extreme!!!
Lysander
It briefly touched below 100 bucks about 1 1/2 weeks ago. I suspect they’re expecting the China slowdown story to continue especially in the real estate sector and more supply from mines in Africa.

Doc F this paragraph caught my eye as even at the lower levels I have to deal with it at, ahem, the coal face.
Developing new gas supply is technically challenging, expensive, and a lengthy process.
Indeed it is, pray tell how long has Narrabri been stalled by the EDO and other assorted ratbags? Unless the green & “Blak” tape is slashed and jurisdiction curtailed it will only get worse.
Gas fields deplete as gas is extracted.
File this under No s%$# Sherlock.
Exploring for gas requires advanced technology and techniques, such as seismic surveys which, as with any other human activity, have the potential for some level of impact on the environment and must be managed accordingly.
Seismic surveys are nowhere as damaging as they were 30 years ago. A lot of terrestrial tenements are done with thumpers over actual “bang” these days. As for oil & gas am unsure if this is viable but would imagine advances have been made to lessen any disturbance. Also a quick scan of studies on seismic damages makes me suspect the negative findings were already written before the study was compiled.
We need new and continued investment to develop and sustain supply to meet demand.
Above under point 1.
This investment is facilitated by a strong regulatory framework that aims to balance environmental and social impacts while encouraging new supply. There is always room to improve our regulatory settings. They must remain fit for purpose to achieve Australia’s goals.
Statement is tosh and full of buzz/filler words. Basically says we are not watering down any regulation but please, pretty please keep investing in us.
Exploration as Doc and a few others here including the finance guys know, is more miss than hit. We are regulating ourselves out of the world market. I note also the double standards that Farmer Gez and his colleagues deals with, that has all the hallmarks of QGC’s behaviour when CSG took off.
My 2c worth for what it’s worth.
Not just for shareholders.
It pays yuuuge royalties which State governments in the future will look wistfully back upon, mentally calculating how many jerbs that would enable them to “create”.

Here’s the thing: rub and tug and his merry band of turd slimes are going to place a carbon tax on the use of coal within Australia which will be 3 times the cost of the carbon tax the slapper said would never be. 3 fuking times! It will will reduce this economy to a state of rubbing sticks together. At the same time coal which is dug up and exported will not be subject to the tax. Because if it was chunk warships would be in Sydney harbour the next day.
I still maintain that of the current crop of pollies and senior bureaucrats 1 a week should be taken out and nuked.
He’s in good company Peter Waterman and zRid Stewart also have extensive model railways.
My model railway is soooo much more modest.
Will the record include receiving regular food, proper sanitation, medical care, education, and access to permanent, weather resistant housing, among many other benefits? No? I thought not.
I am not an enthusiast, but I do like toy trains.
Doc F. Just looking back seems I’ve got your statement mixed up with something that was written in a report.
Apologies didn’t realise as my anger grows especially on the lawfare part.
One of those misfire moments. Hope the basic intent was conveyed though though not at you.
What is it with Labor clowns and clownesses wearing Akubras.
Do they really believe that the people that they despise will be fooled by their dressups.
It’s ballcaps on backwards and kufi hats for you adolescents. Stop insulting true Australians.
The only time these idiots ever see the sun is at a crony’s barbie.

The mega rich are funding the revolution, not a new phenomenon. The question is, how do we combat this? I don’t know because here’s the rub, money talks.
The question is, WHY? What will they get out of it that they don’t already have?
It’s a modern form of an Indulgence, a remission before the Greens of the temporal punishment due to sins whose guilt has already been forgiven, which the faithful Green who is duly disposed, gains under certain prescribed conditions through the action of the Green Church which, as the source of redemption, dispenses and applies with authority.
If you are seen to have a pure heart by the Greens, then truely, you do have a pure heart and whatever you do is OK, like Meta man having a $300M yacht.

One hot afternoon in Kanazawa we stopped for a G&T at Paul Bocuse restaurant (just the bistrot, not the restaurant).
It is in a beautiful art deco building in a park near the castle walls. After our drink we went for a wander through the building. There was a fabulous display of black and white photographs of Japanese trains, from the 1930’s through to early 2000’s.
I walked down a corridor to another large room, hoping to find more.
It contained two massive tables each with multiple toy train displays.
Let me just say this.
Toy train people are the same the world over.
What about an apology and a similar promise for Victorians assaulted by police during the lockdowns?
Bradley Pen Dragon: Sex monster back behind bars over alleged supervised release rules breachPhil Hickey and Rebecca Le MayThe West Australian
Thu, 9 May 2024 3:11PM
Notorious paedophile Bradley Pen Dragon is back in prison after allegedly breaching the strict rules of his supervision order yet again.
The West Australian can reveal Bradley Pen Dragon was arrested last week.
It’s understood detectives from the serious offender management squad, who are tasked with monitoring sex offenders in the community, swooped on the 64-year-old.
He appeared before the Perth Magistrates Court from custody last Tuesday charged with one count of contravening a requirement of a supervision order.
It’s believed the charge relates to an allegation Pen Dragon breached one of the 62 conditions of the supervision order that he was placed on after his release from prison in 2022.
Court records show Pen Dragon is alleged to have breached the order in a Perth suburb on April 29 this year.
Pen Dragon pleaded not guilty to the charge in court last week, was remanded into custody and is next due in court for a trial listing hearing on October 15.
The sooner this P.O.S. is given a fair trial, and shot, the better.
The Auschwitz demonstrators have done us all a favour.
If ever an action dispensed with any ambiguity about “river to sea” and “death to Israel”, this one is it.
And whenever some mealy mouthed wokerati starts to froth about Gaza, that’s exactly the event I’ll cite.
The demonstrators, MEs and their useful western idiots are out and proud Nazis. Forget garages in the Grampians.
I thought Monty would be joining the IDF to fight Nazi’s. There is suppose to be 8000 in Rafah. Is your trigger finger itchy Mont?

To be replaced with “hot offerings” including … wait for it … sausage rolls!
It was a source of amusement to me when I used to fly a bit way back when, particularly early mornings. They would always run out of hot breakfasts and the unfortunate ones would get ‘fresh’ fruit or that fancy new thing, granola.
I was never sure if it was re-heating capacity or the fact that the ponytails surveyed the customers and found that “85% preferred healthy options” … until they smell the bacon that is.
Clears throat…
They’re not toy trains, they’re model trains. To scale.
“We always thought we would go by train, but that isn’t easy to do”
Isn’t it?
Barcelona to Zaragosa by train was a piece of cake and delightful to boot.
There is also a direct train from Zaragosa to San Sebastian which I haven’t caught.
I think I headed west from Zaragosa last time.
I also suspect people aren’t getting working holiday visas from China because they are considered to be high risk of overstaying.
Worse.
The Nazis tried to hide their designs for the Jewish people from the world.

Aaand, we have a live one on the hook!
I did consider putting “toy train” through Google translate for the Kanazawa chapter, but the thought of being disembowelled with a 1:48 scale Shinkansen carriage didn’t appeal to me.
