Well, it provides a justification for the Appellate court to overturn the conviction without having to go into grotesque malfeasance of Merchan’s conduct.
Possibly. The issue will be whether merchan knew before the jury verdict came down. If that is the case all bets are off. Or would be in a normal society. The US is currently being run by a demented pervert who shat his diaper at D-Day.
Hi Folks..If you have time read this and help Aussie’s in rural Aust. Its a petition to overturn the live sheep export ban. Please let this thru Dover..to many lies have been told about live sheep exports by the anti live sheep activists. https://www.keepthesheep.com.au/

From our hotel room across from Southern Cross station, you could see a bit of history. Along those tracks a few old brick buildings of business that depended on rail. Built on a vision from the state’s early leaders and entrepreneurship which the current mob do not share.
Yeah they might be building a rail loop and some other roads no one wants, it’s not the same.
Yes Vicco needs another Sir Henry Bolte. Amazing how people I need in my work still talk about him.

I hope you all can help in some way by cash donation or legal assistance.
Merchan is covering his ass. He has done what the scum paid him to do and now he is attempting to distance himself from the inevitable blowback when The Evil Orange Man becomes President again.
He is preparing the ground for a higher court to take over and believes he can sit back and stay untainted.
Of course I could be entirely wrong, yet again, and he will gaol the Evil Orange Man.
Either way he has a target on his back.
Slimy creatures like him always try to have an each way bet.
Last night I watched ERIC .. New Netflix series with Benedict Cumberbatch .. My best recommendation ..

In fact other than needing a catchy title no idea why he is there .. 2/10

Best bet is the first nukes will go off in the ME, when Israel gets pushed too far by her allies, or when Iran decides to deal with her ‘Jewish problem.’
WW3 will happen – just like WW1 – as agreements and Alliances pull in the major powers.
The use of nukes is not necessarily the start of WW3 – but that’s just my opinion. Islam will probably have a go at Israel, then blackmail the West into allowing them to continue Hitlers Solution.
Does anyone here think that we will swap Washington/London/Berlin for Tel Aviv? I doubt it.
I didn’t expect The Times to go here:
Re: how WW111 start? Probably as a result of a minor, but escalating event. And it will happen very quickly.
We all watch with mouths agape at the stupidity and brinkmanship.
incidentally, we listened this morning to Kim Beasley being interviewed re our defence issues. Interestingly, he implied ( as we understood it) that US & Brit subs are patrolling our waters all the time.

BBC continued in panic mode last night: there’s a movement to the right, wait a minute, the extreme right, in Europe!
Newshour had a woman on to explain. It’s like this, she said. The right offer simplistic solutions and world views. The more valid political views are more complex, nuanced, and global!
Most scary of all was that a lot of the rightward push was coming from “the young”. Horror of horrors.
Example One was a 25 year old from Hungary with “piercing green eyes”. Example Two was asked why he was voting rightwards: immigration.
He said he was not so much voting right as voting common sense.
This did not please the BBC operative.
Merchan is covering his ass. He has done what the scum paid him to do and now he is attempting to distance himself from the inevitable blowback when The Evil Orange Man becomes President again.
There’s too much mess now in the USA for Trump to clean house.

Beasley’s father produced the immortal quote about joining the Labor Party when it contained the cream of the working class. It now contained the dregs of the middle class, who persisted in using the Party as an intellectual spittoon. I’m looking at you, Bill Shorten and Anthony Albanese.

The juror cousin thing is a hoax, the Facebook poster admitted it.
Bad luck you lot, Trump is still guilty.
Got a link dickless. All I could find was this scuttlebutt:
“My cousin is a juror and says Trump is getting convicted,” the user wrote on the New York court system’s Facebook page, Judge Merchan said. “Thank you folks for all your hard work!!!!” the user added.
The juror’s relative, named Michael Anderson, left the comment on May 29, the day the jury began deliberations in the trial and a day before Trump’s historic felony conviction, the judge said. Jurors are prohibited from discussing or communicating about trials they are serving on with anyone.
Some new Friday commenters on the post claimed that Anderson is an internet provocateur of sorts, a self-proclaimed “professional sh**poster,” as the user self-identified in a Friday post, the Hill found.

Apollo 8 astronaut William Anders known for Earthrise photo, dies in plane crash
By adella beaini
The former Apollo 8 astronaut who captured the iconic 1968 “Earthrise” photo from space has tragically died in a plane crash.
Retired Major General William Anders, 90, was killed when the plane he was piloting alone plummeted into the waters off the San Juan Islands in Washington state.
Social media users caught footage of Anders attempting to make a loop in his vintage T-34 Mentor, before crashing straight into the water.
“The family is devastated,” his son, retired air force Lt Colonel Greg Anders, said. “He was a great pilot and we will miss him terribly.”
https://x.com/MyLordBebo/status/1799174912890048609
He’s right. The ME , Africa and woke Euro leaders have gone a long way to f**k European culture forever. Only the architecture remains.
We don’t see the entire loop on film so can’t say for sure but, excluding some sort of medical episode or mechanical failure (e.g. jammed flight control cables), it looks like a rookie error from a 90 year old.
From the very beginning of the footage we can see he has no way out. If he pulls too hard he will stall it and he is too far around the loop to roll out of it.
One of the immutable laws of aviation … if you pull into a loop at 50′ – 100′, don’t manage your power all the way around and don’t actively relax back-pressure over the top, you will hit the ground.
Woof!

Wouldn’t be a stack of g’s in a loop in that aircraft I wouldn’t think.
Maybe 3-4 if you really pulled in hard.
I doubt it would pop a valve, but it might cause a grey-out for a couple of seconds in a 90 year old.
Shouldn’t be anything dramatic over the top where you release backpressure (lift and gravity are working in concert inverted, so you have to fly the loop, not just pull back all the way around).
PS … the aeroplane in question is g limited to +6/-3, which is pretty standard for aerobatic aircraft.
But most people don’t go near that in a loop and generally nurse vintage aircraft around a bit, not pushing the envelope.
Credit to the bloke in clip 4. After knocking the pr*ck out, he drags him to the sidewalk so he does’t get run over.

Probably Trump’s best shot at this stage:
Rubenfeld: “Believe it or not, there is one other avenue that the Trump lawyers could pursue. They could sue in federal court and ask for an emergency, temporary restraining order. Restraining order of what? Well, let me tell you something that you might not know. You’ve probably been reading in the press if you’ve been reading about this case, that Trump is already a convicted felon. The jury has convicted him. He’s a convicted felon. Well, guess what? That’s not true.
You’re not a convicted felon because of a jury verdict; you’re not convicted unless the judge enters a judgment of guilt against you. The judge still has the power, as I told you before, to throw out that verdict and enter a judgment of acquittal.
You are not convicted until the judge enters that judgment of guilt. Now, in New York, it’s very likely that Judge Mershon will enter that judgment of guilt against Trump on the same day that he issues sentencing, that’d be July 11th.
So, what would this federal case be about? In this federal action, Trump would sue Judge Bragg and other state actors and ask the federal judge for an emergency, temporary restraining order halting Judge Mershon from entering that judgment of guilt until the federal courts have had an opportunity to review and rule on the serious constitutional arguments that exist here.
Let me tell you why I think that might be a very important thing to happen. Because going after a former President of the United States and somebody who is running for President now, that’s a very bad look for this country.
It’s an especially bad look when the folks bringing the case and the judge deciding it are members of the opposing political party. It’s an even worse look when the crime is so unclear that the state is ‘hiding the ball’ about what the actual charges are right up through the trial, and indeed into the trial.
And even now, we don’t know exactly what the jury found Trump guilty of. If you’re going to go after a former president and somebody who’s running for president now, the poll-leading candidate, if you’re a member of the other party and you’re going to do that, you better have the goods.”

So she’s never having kids, then. If she still hasn’t “figured out”, by the age of 29, how or when her HECS debt is going to be paid off, it probably never will be. She may as well just be honest with herself about it.
I could be wrong but if you genuinely wanted kids, I don’t think your HECS debt is going to stop you. It is the most benign debt imaginable. No one ever bothers you about it – it just sits there until you start earning a certain amount of income and then your salary is garnished lightly until the debt is gone. You could easily go through life with a HECS debt and not even realise it. Does this woman think her kid would be up at night worrying about their mum’s HECS debt?
As for the home ownership thing – well sure that’d be nice, but you have your whole life to buy a place but only a few more years to have children. Hell, the kid wouldn’t even know their family didn’t own the place they lived in until they’re 5 or 6.
Although perhaps kids might be more financially manageable if she grated her cheese straight off the block?

So I’m selling a bar fridge on Gumtree (work moved offices and the boss no longer wants it in his office, lucky me). I reckon I’ll get $50 for it. A bloke from rural NSW has offered to buy it, wants me to post it to him (obviously I’m not going to do that or pay for it and he must know this) or he’ll arrange for a courier to pick it up. He knows I’m in WA. Wtf? What is he planning on putting inside that fridge before it makes the journey across the Nullarbor, I wonder? Think I’ll pass.

Visiting Mildura. Seems like a fine city with great Mediterranean feel. Lotsa cypresses and palms. Staying at very woggy grand hotel with Italianate arches and shaped.potted figs. Great paddle steamer ride to Wentworth today then back to Mildura by bus past olive groves, vineyards and citrus orchards. Many fine.homes both old and new in Mildura and surrounds. The regions sure beat the capital city CBDs.

Sancho you may have touched on something with the rookie error. My dad was and excellent motorcycle rider but after a massive prang which had him airlifted to RPA and resused twice he admitted when recovered that he f@#ked up, too cocky and took on an overtaking manoeuvre he should have been wiser not to. He was in his late 50’s when he had that oopsie. Luckily he survived.
That said brings back memories I was coming home from overseas 3 days after it happened, my family held the info from me till I landed in Sydney on a red eye run and turned my phone on. Such is life.
Gumtree is basically a haven for thieves, fences and scammers.
Speaking of which, I popped into the bank the other day to withdraw some folding currency to pay someone.
Teller : “Are you buying something today?”
Me : “Err, is that relevant?”
Teller : “Just a warning to look out for scammers.”
Me : “No problems. I know who I am paying and they have already delivered.”
I get why banks feel obliged to ask the question, but it does get your back up at first.

I phoned them, and it turned out it actually was them.
Managed to restrain myself. F’in eejits. No wonder scammers have it easy. They duplicate their methods.
My approach, which has worked so far, is as follows.
Never, ever provide personal information if you don’t have to. Rewards programs are data harvesters pure and simple. They get hacked all the time. Don’t touch them. If you are in them, withdraw asap. When you have to change your drivers licence, passport, bank details, credit cards and who knows what else, saving $4 on a bag of groceries or a bottle of wine will pale into insignificance.
Use Adblock and VPNs. Don’t make it easy to be tracked and hacked,
Thus endeth the lesson. 🙂

Happened to my mother back in April, before she had her fall and was hospitalised. She needed to pay a handyman because he asked for cash. No problems, my mother loves using and paying with cash. She went to her bank, one of those few branches that still remains open and one she’s used for over forty years, and she was asked a similar question as you were. Well, my mother went ballistic.
She has now decided to withdraw cash when she shops at Coles and Woolies, which she does every few days. She’s aware that there are daily cash withdrawal limits but she says she prefers to hoard cash at home, something not uncommon with elderly people. A few years ago a relative of mine’s mother-in-law died and they found over $80,000 stashed away in her home, in books, saucepans, drawers and so on.
My last employer just sent an email asserting that I had been underpaid on annual leave balance, please send bank and ID detail including a selfie holding up drivers licence or open passport.
Yeah nah.

“Oh, and, if the live sheep trade is stopped, what is to become of the surplus wethers?”
The answer was simple “Oh, just stop breeding wethers, then!”

RED SKELTON’S SECRET TO THE PERFECT MARRIAGE
1. Two times a week we go to a nice restaurant, have a little beverage, good food and companionship. She goes on Tuesdays, I go on Fridays.
2. We also sleep in separate beds. Hers is in California and mine is in Texas.
3. I take my wife everywhere, but she keeps finding her way back.
4. I asked my wife where she wanted to go for our anniversary. “Somewhere I haven’t been in a long time!” she said. So I suggested the kitchen.
5. We always hold hands. If I let go, she shops.
6. She has an electric blender, electric toaster and electric bread maker. She said “There are too many gadgets, and no place to sit down!” So I bought her an electric chair.
7. My wife told me the car wasn’t running well because there was water in the carburetor. I asked where the car was. She told me, “In the lake.”
8. She got a mud pack and looked great for two days. Then the mud fell off.
9. She ran after the garbage truck, yelling, “Am I too late for the garbage?” The driver said, “No, jump in!”.
10. Remember: Marriage is the number one cause of divorce.
11. I married Miss Right. I just didn’t know her first name was ‘Always’.
12. I haven’t spoken to my wife in 18 months. I don’t like to interrupt her.
13. The last fight was my fault though. My wife asked, “What’s on the TV?”
I said, “Dust!”.

Adventures With Purpose Solves 30-Year-Old Cold Case from 1994 During Search for Another Missing Person from 2018.
The search took place outside of Elk Grove, CA – April 13, 2024, when Adventures With Purpose (AWP), the renowned volunteer dive team known for solving cold cases, successfully recovered the vehicle and remains of Arnell Narvaiz, a man missing since July 1, 1994. The discovery occurred during a search operation for another missing person, Duke Haringer, near the Delta Island Ranch in Sacramento County.
Arnell Narvaiz, who vanished while driving his beige 1988 Toyota to his workplace at a Delta Island Ranch, had been missing for nearly three decades. His vehicle was located submerged 30 feet deep in the Delta, buried up to the windows in silt. The AWP team, using advanced sonar technology, identified and verified the vehicle by retrieving its license plate.

Catching up with some observations from the UK-
One of our Cotswold walks took us to Hidcote Gardens from Chipping Campden. The visitors were quiet, well dressed, mainly elderly and it was like stepping back to the 1950’s when people made some effort to look smart when going on an ‘outing’.
Lots of Union Jack’s being displayed in the smaller towns in the South West on England.
In the UK there is some sort of fixation on allergies that wasn’t present last time. Before booking a restaurant or ordering a meal it seems to be compulsory to ask if you have any allergies.
London didn’t seem to have changed much from 6 years ago apart from even more renovation/restoration works going on on both public and private buildings. It is the most I’ve seen over the last 45 years-peak scaffolding.
I’ve used AirBnB in various countries and generally it’s been OK once you realise the description and photos you see when booking are as good as it gets and reality will be a little disappointing. However Covent Garden is an exception, over 10 years we’ve stayed in 3 different apartments and they’ve all been crappy in one way or another.
Ha! Elsie is wriggling around my feet – she’s unhappy. I’ve cut down her bikkies because she’s putting on a bit of a gut. She still gets the wet stuff in the morning, but because cats like to snack, she’s down to 2 scoops of bikkies instead of 3 overnight.
Her bowl still has enough to get her through to morning but she can tell there’s not been as much the last 3 or 4 days.
Bikkie withdrawal – cats get it too.
She’s putting on bit of a gut. They say cats start to look like their carers.
Israeli military rescues four hostages alive from Gaza
Israel’s military rescued four hostages from central Nuseirat in Gaza on Saturday in what it described as a complex daytime operation.
The four hostages were held in two separate locations in Nuseirat in central Gaza, the military said on Saturday night AEST, after being kidnapped from a musical festival in Israel on October 7.
Noa Argamani, rescued in Saturday’s raid, was shown in one of the first early images of the Hamas-led raid into southern Israel, as a clip of her kidnapping circulated widely on social media.
Israel said that the four rescued hostages are in good medical condition and have been transferred to Sheba Medical Centre for evaluation.
The latest operation brings the total hostages rescued alive to seven since the start of the war following the Hamas-led attack on October 7.
Along with Ms Argamani, Israel named Almog Meir Jan, Andrey Kozlov, and Shlomi Ziv as the rescued hostages. Saturday’s operation involved forces from Israel’s military, Shin Bet, and police hostage rescues units, the military said
BTW London coffee has improved greatly over the years so we went to a cafe that had good reviews.
Ordered at the counter, the girl taking the order was looking over my left shoulder with a funny expression. I looked around , no one there-
‘Good morning , how are you?’ she spoke to no one.
‘Fine thanks, could we have 2 cappuccinos please?’
She now looked over my right shoulder, I looked around, no one there again and she repeated
‘Good morning, how are you?’
‘Fine thanks, could we have 2 cappuccinos please?’ I repeated, then- ‘How much is it?’
There was some confusion until another person came over to sort matters out and ask our table number, I chose table 7.
We went over to table 7 but nearby table 8 looked better so we sat down at table 8 and swapped tables 7 and 8 numbers.
At this point I looked around and saw a dwarf waitress carrying a rattling cup and saucer and that the barista, despite seeming to have 2 left hands , was making a valiant attempt to operate the expresso machine. Slowly realisation dawned, it was literally a sheltered workshop, the good reviews must have reflected that.
Good on them for giving people a chance I thought then I had another thought – oh shit, maybe I shouldn’t have swapped the table numbers?
Sure enough the waitress started towards our tables 7/8 then turned around, walked in circles for a while, despite our desperate signalling and ended up putting them on table 15.
At this point one of the helpers brusquely walked over and swapped the numbers back whilst we sheepishly looked the other way as we collected our coffee from table 15.
Not sure if our custom was a positive or negative contribution.
BTW I’d like to say the coffee was good, but it wasn’t.
Still it was better than the crap served in France that they pass off as coffee.

We know Hollywood has run out of ideas…
Sadly, Rome so far has been a bit of a wash-out. Even though it has been as hot as a furnace.
Started with the Vatican tour which cost an arm and a leg, and sure we missed all the poor plebs lining up but it was still packed.
Remember that thing called covid? And “social distancing”? Nah, they don’t either. Except for the dispenser of holy water in St Peter’s that is now automated. It would be funny, but it isn’t.
The Pieta is behind a shroud (if indeed it’s actually there at all). Apparently the glass is being replaced. The baldaccino is swathed in hessian and scaffolding, and no chance to get anywhere near the Bernini’s sculpture either. Oh well. You’d think they’d get the work done during lockdown when no one was visiting.
Next…off to the Piazza Navona. Again, everything behind scaffolding and plywood. I have visited the place over 23 years and it’s always been in various stages of repair. So…the Pantheon. Same story. Plywood, this time with perspex windows to view the fountain. The actual building was like a zoo. Gone are the days of just walking in and admiring Rome’s ancient cement fu.
By this stage, having lost the will to live, we caught a cab back to the hotel.
My recommendation…do not spend your hard earned visiting Rome until the idiots get their act together. The place looks like a filthy building site from one end to the other. Even the Victor Emmanuel memorial is surrounded by building works (a new Metro). It was beautiful in 2001. It’s now a mess.
On the positive side, Michelangelo’s masterpiece in the Sistine chapel held me spellbound. I spent around 20 minutes in there admiring his swirling Last Judgement. The blue background, fresh and lustrous, the muscular, active figures…and the ever-young Christ, hand raised in an eternal farewell to the lost.
And I have a soft spot for Botticelli’s Moses and the daughters of Jethro. They look like they’re in the Italian countryside.
Week In Pictures.
I’ve had the serious sh*ts today, Tom. But many…many LOLs.
Since I’ve been overindulging in religious art, this one.
My recommendation…do not spend your hard earned visiting Rome until the idiots get their act together.
I’ve only been there twice and found it hard to find out what’s being impacted by construction or maintenance, which is dodgy.
These aren’t like weekend roadworks in Sydney or Melb.
These are works that are planned ages in advance.
Imagine if you’re some old eastern European pilgrim who’s trained it in and you’re going to Rome for the one & only time in your life, you show up and half of St Peters is behind scaffolding.
Calli, is that St Peter in chains church on your to-do list?
First time I went, Moses was behind scaffolding which in my youth I squeezed past to have a look up close.
The next time, older, no scaffolding but they had other work going on which roped off a chunk of the church where Moses was.
It’s like they want to piss off the punters.
Tomorrow, I think we’ll go down to Saint Paul’s outside the walls – dedicated to Saint Paul who was martyred there. Not sure what to do after that. So many choices.
CNN had the caption up “hostages released”.
Considering it’s CNN, referring to them as hostages probably caused much angst in the newsroom.

China and the Saudis have just signed a huge deal for gas pipelines. Apparently, the Saudis have found huge gas reserves:
https://www.breitbart.com/middle-east/2024/06/06/chinas-sinopec-signs-1-1-billion-natural-gas-pipelines-deal-with-saudi-aramco/
The China Petroleum and Chemical Corporation (Sinopec) announced Thursday that its Sinopec Oilfield Service Company has signed an agreement worth about $1.1 billion to construct natural gas pipelines for Saudi Aramco, the state oil company of Saudi Arabia.The Sinopec subsidiary is stepping into the third phase of a massive Saudi Aramco project to develop a natural gas pipeline network. Aramco canceled plans last year to increase oil production. Instead, it plans to increase natural gas production by 60 percent by the end of this decade — an ambitious goal that will require a vast network for moving the gas within Saudi Arabia, and perhaps for exporting it.
and
The Jafurah discovery was big enough to make Aramco a major global LNG player all by itself. Combined with other discoveries, Saudi analysts believe they could become the third-largest gas producer in the world by 2030 — just in time to ride a projected surge of demand for gas over the following decade.
Yet, leftists are still trying to stop gas projects everywhere, including by making up stuff (see the recent example off the NT) and claiming that coal is dying when it is thriving and expanding.
I really hope that Dutton’s announcements will burst the fantasy bubble that has characterised any attempt at realism about energy policy.
I hope so too. It’s never been about the environment. It’s bogans shouldn’t have nice things.
There is an article in the Weekend Paywallian (sorry, can’t recall the author, read hard copy at the coffee shop) which mirrors Peter Smith’s piece here.
It says that clinging to unreal, idealistic fantasies such as those about energy are typical of arrested development. It’s childish.
If it is online, someone please put it up.
Noa Agamarni, , seen dragged away by Hamas, has been rescued by Israeli commandos, along with 3 other Israeli hostages. Currently being reunited with her dying mother. Wonder, wonderful news.
The arrested development thing makes a lot of sense. Pravate skool educated. Bludge degree. Sinecure in union or pollimuppet’s office. Incurious. Everything given to you.

FFS! ..
None questioning WHY hostages were being held in residential areas ….. After all, it’s only Israel that does as it likes according to the “unbiased” media ……..
It’s unfortunate that the Israeli gummint alwayz responds with diplomacy instead of using plain wording …….
“We is gonna bring ALL the hostages home and if that involves killing every c*** in Gaza to do it then everyone in Gaza will die so f*** ‘em” …………
Also noticed media-wize that only “our” ABC headlined the rescue and other Oz media I looked at) relegated the story several rungs below the disappeared quack event … tho all are prioritizing the MoH figures over the hostages ….

That porcine forces of subhuman evil are STILL holding hostages – either barely alive or their remains – seems to be an irrelevance, according to the majority media.

Noa Argamani has been freed from Hamas terrorists, along with three other hostages.
Noa was abducted from the Nova music festival on October 7, and held hostage eight months before her rescue last night.
Noa was returned to her father, on his birthday.

Noa is now safe in her own bed.
But who rescued Noa Argamani?
Was it Joe Biden? Did he do it?
Was it the United Nations? Did they play a role?
Was Noa set free by the International Criminal Court? George Clooney’s wife perhaps? Okay, that one was just me teasing.
Was Noa liberated by Australian Greens leader Adam Bandt. Or by he forked tongues of Anthony Albanese, or Penny Wong, or Ed Husic?
Was Noa reunited with her family by students chanting rhymes on the lawns of ANU?
No.

Don’t forget how our own Senator Pong, she of the forked tonque and weasel words, just like the slug from Grayndler, on the night of October 7, whilst corpses were still warm, whilst Jewish women were still being gang raped, whilst the corpse of Shanni Louk was still be paraded through Gazan streets like Satanic booty, urged Israel to ‘show restraint’. Yes folks, that’s our leadership.
A time to rend, and a time to sew
a time to keep silent, and a time to speak
a time to love, and a time to hate
a time for war, and a time for peace
And yes, there will be a time for ‘restraint’, but only when, ONLY WHEN, the hostages, be they alive or dead, are returned to their families and when Hamas SURRENDERS.

I’ll kick out any foreigner who commits serious crime, says Peter Dutton
By joe kelly
and dennis shanahan
Peter Dutton says that no non-citizen who commits a dangerous crime in Australia should be allowed to stay in the country as a matter of principle, arguing that they should be deported “immediately”.
The Opposition Leader told The Weekend Australian there was support for a robust migration program but argued confidence had been dented by the arrival of asylum-seekers in boats in northern Australia and accused the government of “bringing in thousands of people who haven’t been properly checked from a war zone”.
Figures provided by officials at the Department of Home Affairs in budget estimates hearings last week revealed that, since October 7 last year, a total of 2686 visitor visas had been granted to people fleeing Gaza. As of May 28, a total of 1044 people fleeing Gaza had arrived in Australia.
With Labor on Friday releasing Direction 110 to replace the contentious Direction 99 so as to scale back the weight given to the Australian ties of non-citizen criminals facing deportation, Mr Dutton said foreigners who committed dangerous crimes in Australia did not deserve to stay.
“They don’t (deserve to stay) and they should be deported immediately,” he said.
Albanese put Australians ‘second’ with Direction 99: DuttonOpposition Leader Peter Dutton has commended Shadow Home Affairs Minister James Paterson’s… involvement in the rewriting of Direction 99 while Prime Minister Anthony Albanese put Australians “second.” Mr Dutton’s comments follow Immigration Minister Andrew Giles announcement the controversial directive which enabled a number of criminals to stay in Australia, More
In an interview to mark two years as Opposition Leader, Mr Dutton said there were “millions of people who want to come to our country – be law abiding, help their neighbours, not rob them; go to work, not turn up to a Centrelink office”
“And we shouldn’t be ashamed of saying that we want the best of the million people who want to come here tomorrow to be part of the migration program instead of compromising and keeping people here who, in many cases, have committed multiple crimes against numerous Australian citizen victims,” he said.
Them California sheriffs look mighty relaxed, indo. Hands on hips, idly watching the vehicle parade, unconcerned about the crowd being all het up or misbehavin’.
Also completely indifferent to the possibility of a threat to the motorcade from the crowd, ie not watching at all. Que sera? Or malicious neglect?

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-06-09/redcliffe-hospital-allegations-of-flawed-care-after-baby-deaths/103952298
But, they couldn’t resist becoming the story:
On a balmy autumn morning at bayside park near Redcliffe last month, the ABC arranged for Ms Pulleine to meet for the first time with Lacey and her partner Severio Rochford.
The couple peppered the veteran midwife with questions and while they were reassured that the baby’s loss was not their fault, Ms Pulleine’s responses reinforced their concern about the care they received.
One question in particular had been haunting Severio.
“Did he suffer before he died,” he asked about Remy, his stillborn son.
Ms Pulleine answered slowly, confirming the child would have been in distress.
Severio broke down and turned away, covering his face with his hands.
They staged a scenario of grief to report on. Creeps. Deadshits.
And, what’s with this ‘on a balmy autumn morning’ bullshit? They do that more and more, apparently believing that the kiddies are:
(i) Joseph Conrad resurrected;
(ii) in receipt of a comment from the teacher at their creative writing course telling them to add atmosphere; or
(iii) using TheirABC, encouraged by their superiors, tof develop their ‘creative’ writing.
The longform stories are full of this crap, and it is worse than Victorian teenage girls and young women ladling on the adjectives and adverbs.
Because the current crop of graduates from J school know nothing and have not read anything, they produce embarrassing cliches, retreads and even completely misunderstood references as though they are Great Thoughts.

In another likely bit of Paliprop the BBC ran an interview with a “14 year old girl” from Gaza. She sounded more like an adult running disinformation to me.
Noa was returned to her father on his birthday, and she was immediately taken to the hospital to see her dying mother, who has brain cancer.
You know, I do believe in God but I frequently struggle with God. Judaism insists we struggle with God, and in that way I am a true daughter of Jacob. But last night I thanked God, for he does truly deliver miracles, but those miracles are never without a sacrifice. Commando Arnon Zamora paid the ultimate sacrifice to save Noa, Almog, Andrei and Shlomi. Arnon Zamora, like Yoni Netanyahu at Entebbe, was killed whilst rescuing Jews. I suspect Zamora’s death is weighing heavily on Bibi’s heart this morning.
May Zamora’s memory be a blessing, to Jews, Israel and all righteous people on this planet.
Senator who broke ranks on Palestine to speak at rallyKat WongAAP
Sat, 8 June 2024 1:32AM
A Labor senator, who broke ranks with her party and declared Israel’s violence in Gaza is a “genocide”, will address a pro-Palestine rally as community tensions simmer.
Fatima Payman will address a rally in Perth on Saturday weeks after she made her explosive statement and urged the prime minister to brand Israel’s actions a “genocide”.
The protesters will call on the government to impose an arms embargo on Israel and expel its ambassador, Friends of Palestine WA chairperson Nick Everett said.
“Senator Fatima Payman is the first Labor federal parliamentarian to break ranks with the Albanese government and call for sanctions against Israel,” he said in an emailed statement.

Together, the collective age of the bride and groom was nearly 200. But World War II veteran Harold Terens and his sweetheart Jeanne Swerlin proved that love is eternal as they tied the knot inland of the D-Day beaches in Normandy, France.
Their respective ages — he’s 100, she’s a youngster of just 96 — made their nuptials an almost double-century celebration.
Terens called it “the best day of my life.”
On her way into the nuptials, the bubbly bride-to-be said: “It’s not just for young people, love, you know? We get butterflies. And we get a little action, also.”
