Breaking: The Biden Administration has unsealed the indictment against Dr. Eithan Haim, who blew the whistle on the child sex-change program at Texas Children’s Hospital.
He is now facing up to 10 years in prison for telling the truth about a practice that is now illegal.
I think it’s about time we realised the Biden Administration has gone rogue, and the entire thing needs to be shut down.
This is the reason the second amendment was put in place.
This is the progressives infesting the Biden administration once again proving that they cannot be trusted not to abuse the power loaned to them by the people.
They are in fact “why we can’t have nice things”, like trust in the national legal system.
Only 4% wind energy being generated across the NEM and 14% solar at 9am EST. A piddling output for $ billions already spent. Albanese and Bowen will sink more billions into the renewables black hole hoping to make it work and gambling against the odds with taxpayer’s money.
Fuk I loathe Starmer. The very model of a modern pollimuppet. Another effing lawyer too.
And when Boris Johnson chipped him for being the DPP who didn’t prosecute Jimmy Savile (which was perfectly true), ‘respectable’ opinion was outraged.

Garry Narkle: Notorious serial rapist slapped with new historic sex offence charges, ‘fears dying in jail’
Rebecca Le MayThe West Australian
Mon, 17 June 2024 1:23PM
WA’s most notorious rapist Garry Narkle has been slapped with new charges alleging historical sex offending.
The 69-year-old was jailed for a decade without parole in 2010 for raping a homeless man in his caravan.
But he has remained behind bars under High Risk Sex Offender legislation passed through State Parliament in 2020, which broadened and replaced the Dangerous Sexual Offenders Act 2006.
Narkle was the central inspiration for that initial bill, labelled a “serial sex monster” in Parliament by former State attorney-general Jim McGinty after being convicted of sex offences against 14 women and girls over three decades.
That’s the turd that raped my sister in law when she was a kid. Jammed a stick up her vagina and she nearly died of blood loss.
Freed to prey on dozens, maybe hundreds more.
There is no way I’ll be convinced the legal system is serious about protecting the public while excrement like Narkle are repeatedly freed over and over
It’s astounding how quickly CSIRO and BOM have lost legitimacy with the public, it only took four or five years. We used to trust CSIRO so much we made their diet book a bestseller. These days we expect them to lie about everything, science be damned.
As for BOM, we take delight in pointing out their failed weather forecasts. In the past, before they decided to hide or change the historical temperature and rainfall records, we gave them the benefit of the doubt. Now we assume everything they publish is in order to further their ideological convictions, meteorology be damned.
I continue to be amazed by the extent of their wrongology. There’s no science or learning applied to their long range forecasts, which seem to be completely mired in climate fantacism.
March to May 3 month maximum temperature outlook – 80% chance across the entire continent of exceeding the median.
Actual numbers – large swathes of the country bang on median decile, or for NE WA and W NT, lowest on record.
Just think the amount of national infrastructure that could have been built with the billions in subsidies and contracts handed out to billionaire* friends of politicians. Upgrading of national highways, airports, railways for a start. Fortifying and modernising our defence capabilities, paying benefits and settling compensation claims of all veterans would have been the smartest moves.
*Makes me wonder if they are friends because they are billionaires or they became billionaires because they had politicians as friends.
ABC RN news this morning had a report on a climate coalition preparing to field “independent” candidates in conservative seats at the federal election, with a focus on QLD.

Garry Narkle should have died in jail years ago – at the end of a rope.
He should be let free. That way we can greet him at the gaol gates with a length of good English hemp rope.

Be proud, Australia – he is our leader!

Well he got that one wrong. And he didn’t correct himself so he was unaware of the horrendous gaffe. No excuse. It was one name he should have been across. I don’t see him surviving for much longer as pm.
My money is on Tanya Plibersek wielding the big knife.
Hey, 30% of Australians cannot be wrong!
A typical extremely Far Right nit pick.
Firstly, it’s cleverly designed synergy. 9AM is off-peak, so nobody actually wants any electricity at this time of day.
Secondly, once Snowy 2.0 is up and running, Australia will be the envy of Top Men everywhere.
Australia will be the envy of Top Men everywhere. Is that the same as Shane Wand being the best Treasurer in the world?
Even better.
Amused by the “sad” tale of Birmingham, UK having to dim the street lights and cutback on other Council utility services cos gone bankrupt but also having the highest level of “city” unemployment in the UK ..
Yet for some reason the report never mentioned they also have one of the highest (if not the highest) level of ethnicity in the UK …..
I remember as a schoolkid growing up in County Durham in the 1950s the standard joke about Birmingham, even then ..
“It was a nice place to live before the whiteman came” ……
Could still afford to hold the Commonwealth Games. Unlike Melbourneibad.
Birmingham is pissing millions up the wall in a failing Oracle ERP implementation. It’s already 15 times over budget
This OT has the highest usage of the reply function to date. After all the naysayers said they didn’t like it, it is now being used. I wasn’t a naysayer, I said nothing but didn’t like it and still don’t. Its hard to see the number of replies. Having to go over the comments many times is bit of a pain but the replies this time in particular are worth the effort. The number of subjects covered amaze me. While I agree with so many commentators I have reservations with the same. This is to be expected as we can only view the world from our own perspective. Thank goodness I’m not a lefty having to tear down everything whilst not being able to build back, where have I heard that phrase? The left have no future as they have to keep destroying to rebuild. While I’m not religious I appreciate the foundations our civilisation is built on. Seems to me the the left forgot about the cluebat which is being swung allover as the elite with everything they have and never want for anything except total control. The left want the whole lot not satisfied with 1% gains. Changes are coming from the young people who have been indoctrinated in the schools yet have seen through the BS. I remember my kids at school, they saw through the leftist teachers and openly mocked them, the things they did believe have since changed as they’ve found out they were being lied to. Who was it that said something along the lines of you fool some people all the time, you can fool all the people some of the time but you can’t fool all the people all of the time? I may have got a bit carried away but when you’re on a roll why stop.
It’s now being used because there’s no alternative.
I hate it. And yes I was one of the ones who wanted it, but experience has shown me that the format shuts replies down to minimal levels. Nested comments appear to work in small blogs, when they get to this size they collapse under their own weight.
Whereas, under the old format there were multiple >10 replies, they’re as rare as rocking horse shit now.
This format stifles the blog – all you have to do is look at the amount of comments.
I have come to enjoy the “reply” function.
It makes for a very complex and thoughtful blog, with lots of little back alleys (which you don’t have to take if that’s not what you want).
Thanks, Dover, for a clever use of the available software.
I read every reply to every comment, otherwise one misses half the blog experience. People tend to use the reply function as a replacement for the comment function.
I think people hit reply because it is just too difficult to scroll up to the top each time to make a separate comment and then wait to see it appear after a refresh.
Great post, Ranga.

Interesting case in Kansas and basically same happened in Australia. The population was sold a product based on false information and advertising. Pfizer may have immunity for any adverse events but surely that does not give them immunity from deception ?
“Pfizer made multiple misleading statements to deceive the public about its vaccine at a time when Americans needed the truth,” said Kobach”
What’s even more interesting to me is that the immunity from adverse effects in the US was sold to the public many moons ago based on the government establishing a program to pay the adverse effect claims.
The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program.
Which suddenly didn’t apply when it came to Covid-19 claims for which they invented another program. I haven’t examined them closely but I have my suspicions that the later one isn’t quite as responsive or “generous”.
Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program

One-third of primary school children in Vienna are Muslims, overtaking Catholics as largest religious group (17 Jun)
Paging a Mr Jan Sobieski!
When you pay them to have children they will though it seems you can’t even pay the Austrians to have children.
Hilarious. In the 17th Century Vienna was besieged by the Ottomans and then the Battle of Vienna. The christians had Jan sobieska as a leader. 85-70 thousand muslims died. It was the high tide of the Ottoman advance. B\
=But now the muslims just walk in and take over. The West has become a joke.
This gets tucked away in the ‘rueful chuckle’ fringes of Australian reporting. The Chinese equivalent would be for Li Quiang to refer to Albanese as ‘Mr Shorten.
It will however be viewed as a serious affront by the Chinese delegation.
In the hyper-status-conscious world of Chinese politics, being shown up by Handsome Boy to be a blurry, indistinct figure, easily confused with a predecessor, is a terrible outcome.
China will handle it with ignoral with Chinese Characteristics – ie nothing said, but a price will be paid somewhere down the track.
Given they’re righting wrongs from the 6th and 8th Century it might take a while.
Doc Faustus:
Which in this case it is, but the criteria for “Serious Affront” is a diplomatic one and it corresponds to the imbalance between parties.
In other words, can the Chinese Communist Party get any political traction with the ‘misspoken’ comment? Yes they can, and so they will.

I received some push advertising this morning. Thrive by Five, bemoaning lack of childcare and how “I want you lot to pay for my childcare and need government to make laws to force you to pay it”. The CEO is Jay Witherall, another unflushable turd. It is funded by twiggy forrest. Do these people have delusions of grandeur? Have we seen the likes of Gina Reinhardt or Kerry Packer telling how to live our lives? They got on doing things without fanfare. My wife’s GG Grandfather worked for a bloke who brought a ship in Sydney and was a pioneer in the shipping industry. For some reason I haven’t been able to ascertain was poorly thought of. One of the things he did was upon hearing of a hard worker but down on his luck bailing him out with no expectation of repayment. He did this many times. Maybe this was the source of the disparagement of this man. GGGrandfather was also tarred with the same brush as he was the Captain of a coastal trader for this bloke. Only recently has there been positve views about this bloke.
Good Lordy. Now I’m “waiting for approval”.

“Firstly, it’s cleverly designed synergy. 9AM is off-peak, so nobody actually wants any electricity at this time of day.”
Not quite true. Most people go to work. Fluorescent lighting, computers, heating (if necessary), schools…Greta was right. You rile up the kids. Can’t charge their phones, use their computers, and you have a problem.
Off-Peak is between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. on weekdays and all day on weekends and public holidays in NSW.
The key here is “load management”. You can’t stop a power plant running.
We still have off peak load?
So while I’ve been running the dishwasher during the day when the paltry sums they pay me for my solar input are working, I should be washing my cat bowls at night?
Not if you are on Ergon Tariff 12C.
It would be cheaper to buy new cat bowls between 4PM and 9PM.

It’s well past time that Australian governments told US governments that deindustrialisation and green religion drives her allies further into the Chinese orbit.

Electricity pricing will increasingly look like mobile phone pricing. It’s all about managing the churn.
It certainly will become opaque. Smart meters are going to become ubiquitous and the information they provide will be used to ‘shape’ tariffs for individual customers.
Thus, if you have the terrible habit of using an electric oven or induction cooktop in the evening, you are going to be slugged with a character-building cooking tariff to change your vile behaviour.
And it won’t just be the billing. Smart meters are already set up to curtail use of power for certain concessional tariff applications.
So get ready for unexpected evenings of cold dinners, non-functioning aircon, and a flat EV in the garage. Or no power at all, because your low electricity social credit has selected you to be load shedded – for the fifth time this week.
Unless, of course, you are part of the nomenklatura…
Welcome to the Turd World.
Not even “get ready” – its happening now.
Oh Dr. F – we are already experiencing it! After consistent billing for the last few years (we have a 10kw solar system so we export a lot of excess power to the grid) we have received bills in the last billing periods that just do not correspond to our usage & excess power. Husband started taking every day readings as soon as the smart meter was installed a while back – so we have precise records. Suddenly they do not match with the records of the energy company – in their favour, of course.
Husband is like a dog with a bone with these bills & has made many calls to the company & their “resolution” people. The word may have got through ( he has said he will take it to the Ombudsman) & now he reckons that the figures are suddenly consistent. BTW he has dowloaded an App which shows their readings, so that they can be compared with the meter readings on our solar system.
What app is that, Vicki?
You’re not wrong. All the time of use risk previously borne by the retailer will be passed on to the consumer.
Correct; very little sneaks past the Bear.
But any savings from the risk allocation efficiency are likely to be a little ‘sticky’.
My cooking is bad enough without having a character-building surcharge written in to it. Nuclear power can’t come soon enough for me.

Great work from the student pilot and ATC.
—-
Student pilot Max Sylvester had not spent more than 10 minutes in control of an aircraft during his first two flying lessons. During his third, his instructor, who had so far watched his every move, became unconscious leaving Max alone in the cockpit.
At 4 PM on the 31st of August 2019 at Jandakot Airport in Western Australia, Max settled into the two-seater Cessna 152 for his third lesson overall, and the first in the Cessna 152. As they cruised at 3,500 feet, he noticed his instructor Rob was staring out of the window into the sky. Max assumed he’d seen something, but there was nothing there.
The instructor began shaking and it was clear that something was wrong. He was having a seizure. Without flying experience or an instructor, Max was left alone to deal with the emergency and he had his wife and three children waiting on the ground. This is the conversation between Max and Air Traffic Control.

The dirty little secret that pilots keep is that aeroplanes fly themselves quite well with just a little guidance.
A pilot is someone who would rather go flying than get a real job.
They earn their money in bad weather.
The airline business is very procedural and all laid down. If you do it right you will be able to land at a suitable airport.
That’s why I loved flying cargo. Very little was predictable.
Besides, “Boxes Don’t Bitch”.
I know Iowa is not a huge deal, with only 6 electoral votes, and in 2020 Trump won by 8% but this is still big:
Trump leads Biden by 18 points in Iowa — a bad sign for president in 2024 swing states (nypost.com)
That Des Moines Register poll is known for being notoriously accurate.
The implications for the mid-west states are indeed huge.
Meghan McCain, who hates Trump with a passion hotter than the sun, warned that “There is no scenario where Trump wins Iowa by 18 points but loses Wisconsin”. Wisconsin is listed as a toss-up by most and has 10 electoral college votes.
Bill Kristol, another Trump hater, said Trump now “has a good shot in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan (all toss-ups), and could win the whole thing.”. That’s 44 total electoral votes.
Based on recent polls, Biden would have to sweep the Great Lakes battleground states of Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania to have any chance at winning the election in November.
Reminder, 270 votes is the magic number to win.
And boom, Trump out polls Joe in his home state.
The election is still 5 months away but the Dems have to be getting a bit twitchy about it.

Lucky it’s radio for me.
Lucky for the rest of us too gez
Heard it (? you or another) on radio this arvo (rural NSW) and again tonight on Sky. Excellent action, and pretty relatable to Melbourne since they had those terrible fires in 2019 involving fallen power lines. Central Sydney isn’t much affected by fire, except for the smoke. Canberra had their experience with forest mismanagement next to urban sprawl if I recall. Keep banging on about this, or all is lost!
Check the fine print! They have it all figured out. Check out my reply to Dr. Faustus.
GrayRanga, there are two reasons that the young will back change. The first one is generational rebellion, if their parents are for it the young will be against it.
The other reason is as you pointed out, even the young can see through BS. I was sceptical when the Soviet Union fell that it wouldn’t be replaced by freedom but something much the same yet the young embraced the change and made it work in most of Eastern Europe if not quite in Russia.
Sadly, when tyranny ended behind the Iron Curtain it just moved West and was adopted by the rich and famous, looking at you WEF.

No, Sancho – I was commenting generically. But I believe they are all moving in the same direction.
It was already here, biding its time.
I missed it, Joe Biden thought he was at the G and not the G7 last week?
Gez, how are the Firery’s Union thugs copeing with the CFA action?
I would have assumed that their Liars bosses would have told them to intervene.

Words fail me, they honestly do!
Remember when they just wanted toleration?
First legalisation, then toleration, then acceptance, then acclamation.
Then complete control.
Nothing from the UFU so far Bons.
They’ll put their shiny arses at the government’s disposal but they know we don’t like them.
When CFA and MFB cross paths on a fire ground you could cut the atmosphere with a knife.
I don’t even think they exchange Christmas cards.
Laziest bastards in Government.
Gez – I noticed lots of union ‘rock’ posters on walls this afternoon complaining that metro MFB/FRV trucks are ‘too old’ and need replacing – can’t imagine they’ve done THAT much mileage though. Happy to be corrected, but working assumption is just another log of claims the State Govt will accede to.
How to say you are totally out of touch without saying it.
The Biden campaign is launching a $50 million ad campaign in all the swing states, seeking to make Donald Trump’s recent criminal conviction a central theme of the 2024 election.
Nobody worth trying to convince thinks that the Trump trials are anything other than Biden abusing his DoJ to attack his political opponent.
Since the verdict, Trump’s campaign and allied groups have raised more than $420 million, destroying the cash advantage Biden had earlier this year.
But hey Joe, go ahead and make more people aware of what you did by advertising it like it was a trophy. Trump can always use more campaign donations.
With a senile fool as a candidate, they have nothing left but to double down on the lawfare, by highlighting it. Everything on a pair of twos.
Is Cackleberry going to be running with Sniffy Joe? If they can cheat enough I’d think that to be very risky. Sniffy is likely to wander off and never come back.
Yep. Probably the singly most unelectable female in the US.
Killary. Line 1.
I’d put $100 on Hillary going to the election as a surprise candidate after the Democrat selection process is done.
She has to have as short a campaign as possible to nullify her ‘advantages’.
The sneaky and dishonest tactic used by “journalists” was perfectly illustrated by an interview with Nigel Farage on Sky UK this morning.
He was asked to state that he would “never join the Tory party”. Why should he say never?
But it was a heads I win, tails you lose situation. There was no correct answer.

I understand that this has been known for some time in general terms. It was apparently disregarded as being just rumour. Tragic. There will be some of those who knew who will never recover their careers. Bibi may not have known, but he is cactus in any case.
Unless he can prove the situation had been hidden from him by an opposing political faction.
I think I’ll pass on the outcome for a week or so.
If there’s one thing that is difficult to decipher, it’s ME politics.
This has been known for some time.
I would imagine the IDF gets intelligence like this every other week. It has to be evaluated. We’ll see what comes out in the wash.
The intelligence likely didn’t include ordinary Gazan civilians raping and pillaging, which possibility had not even entered into Hamas’s plan, counter-productive as it was in terms of them obtaining leverage over the Israelis rather than provoking an all out war.
The Israelis should be more concerned about the routine security failures on the day, which demonstrated a fatal complacency. And that may link back to the intelligence assessment failure.
October 7, 2023, was the mother of all intelligence failures.– most likely because of tribal leftist sabotage in the IDF and Israeli government.
knives coming out for Bibi, looks like.
Initelligence is not a 100% picture given as a certainty to the customers. It is hedged about with words like “probably” or “likely” or “possibly”.

My bet is Twiggy.
“Mr Kean said he would be taking a role related to energy when he moved to the private sector”.
Malocclusion Turdball is my guess
Has Matt Kean seen the writing on the wall in the electorate? The hunger for his type of Lino had gone. Which green energy carpet bagger has hired this leech?
Welcome, Long Time Lurker.
That may well be so. However, intelligence to this sort of effect is still subject to a number of conditions:
a. That the people receiving the intelligence assess it as credible and imminent;
b. If so, that those people adequately described that intelligence picture, along with properly identified risks and threats to the IDF Top Men; and
c. If so, that the IDF Top Men decided to take it seriously, if not act on it.
There are a lot of ‘if’s in there, a lot of cracks where information can fall and a lot of room for personal agendas to come into play.
Nowhere in the article did it say that the IDF knew the date, time, or location of the attack. Without such details it is fairly unactionable intelligence despite its basic validity.
He who defends everything defends nothing. – Frederick the Great
The IDF deploying a large defensive force surrounding all of Gaza on 100% alert forever was obviously unsustainable and a pre-emptive attack not politically acceptable. The solution they apparently chose was to rely on lighter screening/monitoring units and keep heavier mobile rapid response forces in reserve.
From the comfort of an armchair It would appear that the breakdown was in the failure of monitoring, reporting, and/or the lack of timely and appropriate command reaction. Time will tell and books will be written eventually.
The fact that the reported document surfaced now and was leaked to the press is strongly suggestive of the motives behind those doing so.
It’s most definitely actionable. The document lists the intended targets as the military installations on or near the Gaza border, the kibbutzim near the border, and so on. How about having the military outposts on alert and manned. Doubling the security at the relevant kibbutzims. Calling off or relocating any music festivals near the strip.
From memory, half the problem was some personnel/ units had been transferred to the West Bank.
It is called Silent Evidence. How many of these Jihadi training and plans the IDF found in the past did not happen. The press constantly does this when it comes to risk. If there is an earthquake then you can guarantee you can find a person who predicted it.

The article appears to be bullshit as that Israeli intel was not expecting a civilian massacre, nor taking civilian hostages.

Britain’s richest family spent more on pet dog than they paid their servants, court toldBy Hugo MillerJune 18, 2024 — 11.02am
Listen to this article
4 min
The billionaire Hinduja family spent more on their pet dog than they paid one of their servants, according to a Swiss prosecutor who urged jail terms of as long as 5½ years at a trial over alleged trafficking and exploitation of staff at their Lake Geneva villa.
Prosecutor Yves Bertossa launched a blistering attack on the family at the Swiss city’s criminal court, citing testimony from the staff and Hindujas, as well as evidence submitted during his investigation.
“They spent more for one dog than one of their servants,” he said. The woman, he said, was paid at one point as little as 7 Swiss francs ($11.90) for a working day that lasted as long as 18 hours, seven days a week. He pointed to a budget document headlined “Pets”, which he said demonstrated that the family spent 8584 ($14,589) Swiss francs in a year on their family dog.
Staff contracts didn’t specify working hours or days off, but rather that they be available as needed by their employers, Bertossa continued. Given their passports had been confiscated, they had no Swiss francs to spend as their wages were paid in India and couldn’t leave the house without their employer’s permission, they had little to no freedom, he argued.
Even when they left the Hindujas’ home for the family’s residences in the Swiss Alps or Cote d’Azur, it wasn’t for fun, he said. When they accompanied family members to Cannes, he asked, “What were they doing there, jet-skiing?”
But lawyers for the family immediately hit back at Bertossa’s claims, repeatedly citing the servants’ testimony that they were treated with respect and dignity. Bertossa, according to the defence, was being misleading in his characterisations of their remuneration.
“The salary can’t simply be reduced to what they were paid in cash,” given their board and lodgings were covered, said Yael Hayat, a lawyer for family scion Ajay Hinduja. Eighteen hour-working days is also an exaggeration, she said.
“When they sit down to watch a movie with the kids, can that be considered work? I think not,” she said.
That’s what employment contracts are meant to stipulate.
No wonder there weren’t any contracts, given that the employment conditions would have been illegal under Swiss law.
Yael has obviously never spent a weekend watching videos with nephews, nieces, young cousins etc. Stupid twat.
Keane, Dutton and Littleproud.
That ain’t gonna work for Federal LNP members or electors. Keane climate crony scams are rapidly being left behind in the Party except within the corrupt NSW Executive.
Photios’ thugs grip upon the Executive is a problem that appears to be insoluable. These crooks will fight to the death to oppose nuclear and retain their renewable scams.
The denial of rights for the NSW (and QLD) branches is an adequate reason for a Federal intervention, BUT will Dutton try. The Federal inaction in relation to the Victorian outrage does not leave me feeling any degree of confidence.
Dutton does appear to have more support amongst the Federal members than any recent leaders. He needs to take advantage of that make a move because the Moderates will happily loose the election if that shores up their Party sinecures.
Surely Dutton understands that Photios will preselect people who will completely undermine him.
People like Canavan, and the Senate women need to step up and be voluable in demanding action. The electorate will support them.

Stranded in Barcelona! Cunard in port for four days to do work on a stabiliser. Better here than being towed back to port. There are worse places to be stuck.
So…slumming it strolling up La Ramblas to the fountain and back and checking out all the galleries and museums I missed first and second time around.
Another of Spain’s well kept secrets is Tarragona. It has a Roman amphitheater with the sparkling blue Med as a backdrop, a portion of a circus still standing plus odds and ends of the city walls, and a cathedral with an amusing and typically Spanish story about the acquisition of relics, this time a saint’s arm. And no crowds.
Also, just outside the city, an almost perfectly preserved Roman aqueduct.
Being stranded in Barcelona is terrible. Just terrible!
So many remains of the great Roman civilisation in this part of of Europe.
An arena they found in Cartagena in 1989 when digging for foundations to a residential block is now the main tourist attraction in that city, much bigger than the Civil War underground bomb shelters that are the only other tourist attraction.
Lucky you Calli.

Hi GG
I have just recovered after a burst aneurism in the brain and a larger one sitting in waiting at the base of the brain ready to go. Incredible surgery for both done through arteries from groin up to brain at Austin Hospital in Melbourne. Thanks to radio isotopes from Lucas Heights. There are marvelous things happening in this type of surgery in all parts of body. Clips and stents and sizzles. Please investigate.
Just great news, mem! There is much that disappoints about modern medicine, but SO much that is amazing. I do hope Greyranga can follow up on this.
Good luck with it all. Wow.
Thanks mem, I’ve already discussed this with my specialist and he says most likely through the groin but won’t know until a certain type of scan, can’t remember name, is done, otherwise its open heart. I’ve had a few blood clots in my feet but sorted itself out before they went black. A nice mid blue. Had I known I was going to have so many health issues I would have had a more riotous life.
By the sounds of it you did all the things I wish I’d done, and I’ve done all (maybe) the things you wish you’d done, and so together we’d make the perfect “boiled egg”. Good luck. mem
GrayRanga, so sorry to read that. I hope your doctors are wrong and you will still be here to meet your great grandchildren.
Crossie life expectancy is 10 years after surgery and almost zero even if on the operating table. I have no problem with that, if anything it has focused my mind about what is important and what is dross. Those years of 16 hour days for what? I’ve had a very comfortable life. We only get out what we put in.
Best of luck Ranga, and that’s great news, Mem.
Scott Morrison prepared to take witness stand in Reynolds, Higgins defamation rowBy Jesinta BurtonFormer prime minister Scott Morrison has been named among the high-profile witnesses called to give evidence in WA Liberal Senator Linda Reynolds’ high-stakes defamation trial against former staffer Brittany Higgins.
On Tuesday, the WA Supreme Court was told Morrison had filed and signed a witness outline ahead of the defamation trial to commence in late July.
The court was told the bundle of evidence adduced by Reynolds’ legal team would also contain sworn testimony from WA Senator Michaelia Cash and her former chief of staff.
Cash’s attendance in-person will hinge on parliamentary sitting dates, with Higgins’ lawyers continuing a push to delay the slated July 24 start date to accommodate new WA-based counsel.
Outside court, Reynolds’ lawyer Martin Bennett told the waiting press pack Morrison was expected to be overseas at the time of the trial, but was prepared to give evidence remotely if required.
And Reynolds, who made a surprise appearance at court, mentioned Morrison by name while sharing her gratitude to her former parliamentary colleagues for their support.
In 2021, Higgins alleged she was raped in Reynolds’ parliamentary office by her colleague Bruce Lehrmann – a claim Lehrmann has long denied. Lehrmann is appealing a decision by Federal Court Justice Michael Lee in an April 2024 civil defamation case that, on the balance of probabilities, he did rape Higgins. A rape charge against him was withdrawn in after his 2022 criminal trial was aborted due to juror misconduct.
Reynolds, the former boss of Lehrmann and Higgins, has faced years of criticism over her handling of Higgins’ rape allegation.
The senator said the ongoing fallout had a significant impact on her and others, with her medical professionals among those expected to take the witness stand.
“I need to clear my name finally, after well over three years… so many people have been so damaged by this,” she said.
Don’t mess with Marty. Brittany needs to make this go away but Zwier and the Liars are running it now.
The early iterations of professional freak shows seem like high culture compared to the menageries of grotesque we now produce for entertainment.

Can someone explain the military industrial complex as I don’t see the loads of money going to the contractors?
If you follow the money, you also should be able to see “the money” but I don’t.
Let’s take Lockheed Martin Corp, one of the big defense players in the industry. I’ll leave Boeing alone as it’s beset by those problems in the civilian side causing the stock to be trashed. Lockheed doesn’t appear to be having any of those large problems.
Lockheed stock has been doing nothing since 2022 – remained flat.
The stock has a PE ratio of 16.81 while the average PE for the Dow is
In other words Lockheed is trading at almost half the current PE for stocks in the Dow.
How about a defense ETF, which carries the major defense contractors.
It’s trading PE around 30.72, which is at a tiny discount to the Dow, but nowhere near as bad as Lockheed. However this is nothing startling.
Since 2022, it’s gone from about $110 to $133, which is a 21% climb.
For 2022, the Dow rose 31% from it’s low point that year.
Defense should be trading at a massive multiple to the Dow and the S&P 500 if we’re to believe this huge money machine exists. At least the stock market doesn’t appear to believe it so.
Let’s try again.

Like I said, the IDF is not immune to Mark Milley types and by the looks of it there are few “top men” actively working against the government.
JC all the problems and cost overruns along with changes the F-35 probably depressed the stock price. I notice General Dynamics dropped off during 45’s Presidency getting out of wars. The first two years probably only increased due to forward orders. I think you’re right, wheres the money going.
Here’s more Ranga
The total market capitalization of the major defense contractors is, according to Gemini.
Say, add in $100 billion because of individual problems at these firms, like you mentioned (Lockheed) to blow up the figure taking it to $631 billion.. We’re still nowhere near big and beautiful when you consider Nvidia and Microtheft are US$ 3 trillion apiece. The military industrial complex is really quite small.

It’s mind boggling. No it’s actually freaking criminal. China, the world’s largest importer of energy has one of the cheapest electricity costs in the world.
China 8 cents

We’re the largest coal exporter thereby allowing others to burn it and we’re now the second largest gas exporter (and the same applies). This is madness on a criminal scale. We’re letting China, our big threat burn our coal as we close down plants.
100 bill here and a hundred bill there and you’re still not talking serious money. I see 2024 defence budget is over 2 trillion. Previous years less than a trillion. The government is spending more than these companies are worth. Me non comprende.
A lot of that expenditure goes on personnel costs – over 40% of the total her, probably similar or more in the US. Then there are fuel, ammunition and repair and maintenance.

There is of course, nothing to see here. Doctors remain baffled.
As long as middle class welfare is consigned to bin as well.
It isn’t ‘ old news’ given they are referring to a document, “Detailed End-to-End Raid Training,” that hasn’t been mentioned before in reports and the document involves includes details of what was planned, “exercises included raiding military posts and kibbutzim (collective communities in Israel), kidnapping soldiers and civilians, and maintaining the hostages once they were in the Gaza Strip”. So this is over and above what the Egyptians warned a few days before the attack.
They mention kibbutzim and civilians as well.
No, it appears that the IDF/ intelligence had a very good idea of the plan and its intended targets.
Peter Dutton will announce nuclear reactors will be commonwealth-owned and operated under similar schemes to those overseeing Snowy Hydro and the NBN, as Jim Chalmers attempts a renewables reset by placing new “community benefit” principles at the centre of Labor’s Future Made in Australia Act.
The Australian can reveal the tightly held nuclear policy to be announced on Wednesday, which does not incorporate wider climate and emissions targets, was not fully briefed to shadow cabinet members on Tuesday night to avoid locations being leaked.
It’s understood Mr Dutton has briefed MPs whose electorates could host a nuclear reactor.
The release of the policy was brought forward as a result of high levels of support in community surveys commissioned by the Coalition across seven proposed reactor sites.
Coalition MPs will give the green light to the nuclear policy on Wednesday morning.
This comes as Dr Chalmers will declare the government’s plan for net zero emissions is “mainstream and middle of the road” and release Treasury’s Sustainable Finance Roadmap and new legislative details underpinning the government’s Future Made in Australia plan.
Labor is vowing to prioritise measures to deal with greenwashing – which occurs when a company makes false or misleading statements about the environmental benefits of their product or practice – and improve access to climate and emissions data.
Speaking at The Australian’s inaugural Energy Nation forum in Sydney, Dr Chalmers will warn that Mr Dutton is embarking on a “nuclear road to nowhere” and attack the Coalition for being economically irrational and fiscally irresponsible.
The Australian revealed in February that the seven sites were expected to be in Coalition seats including in the Latrobe Valley in Victoria, the Hunter Valley in NSW, Collie in WA, Port Augusta in South Australia, and the southwest Queensland electorate of Maranoa, held by Nationals leader David Littleproud.
Great work!

Former Qantas CEO Alan Joyce faces a challenge to claim a $16m windfall, with the airline hiring a high-profile consulting chief to question senior leaders on whether a series of bungles will void the payment of lucrative bonuses.
Former Boston Consulting Group strategy chief Colin Carter was asked by the Qantas board to provide independent advice on whether the payment, double previous estimates, must be made given the litany of failures that occurred during the final years of Mr Joyce’s reign.
Mr Carter has advised Australian prime ministers and Australian Airlines during his lengthy career, and the board’s decision shapes as one of newly named chairman John Mullen’s biggest early tests at the aviation giant.
Sources said Mr Joyce and members of his executive committee, plus select board members, were currently being interviewed.

Eleven years on from a near-fatal crash involving Daniel Andrews and Cath Andrews, cyclist Ryan Meuleman’s family still don’t have clarity on why Victoria Police failed so comprehensively.
Rita Panahi
It’s a David and Goliath battle in more ways than one.
On one side we have the powerful former Victorian premier Daniel Andrews – last week awarded the nation’s top honour and represented by a partner at one of the country’s most prestigious law firms – and on the other is a working-class family whose world was turned upside down in 2013 when the Andrews family’s SUV struck their teenage son.
Ryan Meuleman was lucky to survive the near-fatal accident on the Mornington Peninsula but to this day the family do not have clarity on precisely what happened and why Victoria Police failed so comprehensively to follow standard operating procedures, including securing the vehicle at the scene for forensic examination and conducting a mandatory breath test.
Andrews has claimed that Ryan “T-boned the car” and back in 2017 he said both he and wife Catherine, who was behind the wheel, had no issue with any documents concerning the case being released.
“I want to make it abundantly clear I have no objection, I have no problem, no concern, with documents being released,” he said.
But now he is fighting a Supreme Court order to provide his mobile phone records from that fateful day.
On Tuesday Ryan’s father Peter Meuleman told me he was determined to uncover the truth. “We are hoping to get justice for Ryan, it has been such a long road for us. So we would really like to get closure on the case, if we can get some honesty, transparency and justice for him,” he said on The Rita Panahi Show on Sky News.
But justice ain’t cheap.
The Meuleman family have set up a GoFundMe page to help cover legal expenses in their civil case.
“This is a really expensive legal exercise, we are a humble family from humble means and we want to fight this case, we want to get justice for Ryan,” Mr Meuleman said.
“I’m sure the Andrews camp can outspend us … they think once they’ve outspent us that we simply just go away.”
He called on Andrews to comply with the court order and rejected the notion that it was a fishing expedition.
“If you’ve got nothing to hide you’d be transparent about all of those records,” Mr Meuleman said.
“This is a legal case which is far from a fishing expedition.
“We just want clarity, closure and justice.”

Might need to go to the High Court too.
IIRC, it is about 10 years ago, to the day, that Israel discovered tunnels from Gaza, inside of which were weapons, gas masks, gas, grenades, handcuffs, modified motorcycles (to carry hostages fast through tunnels) and lots more.
A very chilling discovery. There was no doubt what was the intention.
Even my dog, if questioned, would tell you this indicates Hamas’ intentions in crystal clear fashion, & that Hamas would not have eased off on the yearning to pop up into Israel, kill as many people as fast as possible, get their hands on some Israeli girls & whisk them back to Gaza.
I always thought that the followers of the Tartarians were taking the pee, and their site was a spoof site.
Not anymore.
Here is the site and the latest revelation.

Chapter 5 – Lost Tartarian Technology
The following is taken from my book and I would love to know if anyone has any further information on this particular subject.
Again, as with all other posts, if I can use what you provide, you will be credited for it and sent a free copy when it’s published:
To heat a Tartarian home was quite simple and the original purpose of the chimney has very little in common than those of today. Each fireplace had two goblets, or poles, either side of the opening and a metal backplate (refer to the images in the centre pages).
They didn’t burn fuel of any kind, but instead they utilised the energy transmitted from the rooftop antennas, resonators and capacitors, to then bounce ionised air between the two goblets, which was then stored within the metal backplate.
In the winter it generated heat by creating a vacuum within the chimney. In the summer the metal plate absorbed the heat and the vacuum was used to cool the room and the chimney used simply as ventilation.
Thanks,
Guy ??

It was explained a few days after the mass murders and abductions that the Israeli government was reliant on the high security fence etc for protection.
How does this incredible report invalidate or add anything new the Israelis were too reliant on tech and they failed to act despite being ripped off? That is, notwithstanding the fact Israeli intel would be overloaded with threats all the time.

I’m in no great shape but even I could’ve beaten the crap out of him, but, but that would’ve made him the victim.
The way things are over there and coming here, better err on the side of caution when it comes to physical altercations.
Disagree, that is one of the reasons we are where we are now. People getting away with being arseholes. I have a few medals and cups from competition. I no longer remember who I beat, but I sure remember who beat me.
The Australian revealed in February that the seven sites were expected to be in Coalition seats including in the Latrobe Valley in Victoria, the Hunter Valley in NSW, Collie in WA, Port Augusta in South Australia, and the southwest Queensland electorate of Maranoa, held by Nationals leader David Littleproud.
This is so arse about.
The way to do it is to have towns, regions, states bid for the nuclear power plants.
With the trade off that anyone within 100kms gets discounted electricity for a period of time, say 20 years.
It turns the narrative from a government telling people where they could potentially go to being the punters demanding it.
There’s going to be cross over between regions that want it & regions are suitable.
And the need for taxpayer subsidies (as per what Dutton said last week) isn’t needed is if you give 100 year exclusivity on providing nuclear services to Australia, you’ll see consortiums line up & pay for it.
Dynamic policy making & delivery isn’t really Australia’s thing.
Bern, watch public opinion turn. Even if Mr Potato Head’s twentysomething “advisors” think nukes are a negative, come election time, Australians — especially in bush electorates — will be demanding it and those who miss out will consider themselves losers.
The Australian ban on nuclear energy is a lingering expression of political and social backwardness, which the normies are now sick to death of.
A 2013-style LNP landslide is on the cards next year IMO.

Husband just made a good point. He’s sick of the talk about the “Climate Debate” . He really reckons we need to call it the “Energy Debate”. We need to stop the climate nuts dominating the debate by use of language.
See you just didn’t marry him for his looks.
That too! But you are right……the love of my life….can’t imagine life without him.
My wife just needed an MRI. They booked her for a Sunday evening, which seemed surprising. But they told her they have bookings until 11.30pm, 7 days a week now. I was reminded of this when I just saw this article about NHS waiting lists in the UK, because of the lockdowns, but both parties blame the other:
NHS Waiting Lists – Don’t Mention Lockdown – The Daily Sceptic
Same for all the DV ‘debates’ now I should think. Being locked up in an inner city apartment for 22 hours a day during the lockdowns sure sorted out some people’s ‘relationships’, sadly. But, oh toxic this, and feminist that, and don’t mention the l.o.c.k….
My recent MRI was on a Sunday in Sydney and the place was busy.
I have mentioned before that I enjoy reading leftie Slate‘s agony columns for shits and giggles. The pretzel logic and other contortions they go through to justify their worldview are often hilarious.
But they are also revealing, and explain why their offspring grow up entitled and unhappy.
Toddlers typically hit others because they do not have the vocabulary and emotional regulation to express their feelings. It’s common for kids this age to behave perfectly well at school, and then make a complete 180 at home. Your son might be using all his self-control at school and is spent by the time he gets home. (The positive side to this, of course, is that he feels safe enough with you and your husband to act out at home, knowing you love him no matter what.) It’s also possible that he expects to get his way at home, being an only child, whereas at school he is one of many kids, so everyone has to compromise. All of this is perfectly normal.
When younger toddlers hit, the conventional advice is to give a verbal correction and an immediate consequence (even if that means you walking away). You want to extinguish the behavior by starving the kid of your attention. For older kids, though, you can start to bring in more language to help them process the situation; with my son, that started around 4 years old. I would interrupt the tantrum behavior with a firm, mom-voiced, “We do not hit/slam doors.” Then I would gently get on his level, make eye contact, and follow a basic verbal formula: name the feeling, validate it, explain myself, offer a solution, and offer a hug. It might look something like this:
“You seem angry right now. You’re angry because you want me to fix your book, and I said no. I totally get it; it bothers me when my things are broken, too. The thing is, it’s already past our bedtime and we need to get some sleep. But I can take the book with me and tape it before breakfast tomorrow, or we can do it together after school. Which sounds better? OK. Now, do you want a hug?”
https://slate.com/human-interest/2024/04/nephew-father-example-family-parenting-advice.html
The hitter is three years old. He hasn’t got a clue what this woman is talking about. But, hitting his parents gets him a lot of attention and babble followed by a hug.
And, what’s with the obsession with giving kids who have the IQ of a smart Kelpie and the emotional maturity of (deleted – don’t want Dover to get sued) all of these choices? I can’t recall ever being asked if I wanted the blue T shirt or the white one, I just got dressed.
The grown up versions may be obnoxious, but it’s not all their fault.
I’ve seen where mums are using sign language for please and thank you and I love you etc for littlies who are not yet verbal, seems to work well.
Kicking arse big time with our CFA renewables strike.
Main news bulletins in Vic. The government is scrambling for a defence that’s easily countered with facts.
Gez, when matters settle it would be instructive to learn how the CFS was mobilised.
In QLD, the Union Super Funds have done their most destructive work in locations remote from public gaze but that is changing as solar farms move into agricultural areas. Mobilising the RFS would be more difficult than in Vic, but there is potential.
There is significant residual resentment within the RFS over their emasculation by the Chook and her union firery thugs.
If you want to witness an after training drinks session implode, just mention the outrage of RFS members over being forced to undertake anti kiddy fiddleing training.
So, last night I had the misfortune to view a clip showing a piece of low IQ scum spit at an elderly little Jewish man wearing a yarmulke. The putrid piece of scum was shouting…’from the river to the sea’. Yep, and that folks sums up the progressive left in 2024, they have and are emboldening human garbage like the fatso big boob spitting male in the footage. To be honest, I found the footage distressing.
Remind me, just who are real Nazis in 2024?
Cassie,
the light here is that, many people came to the old gentleman’s aid.
Fatso moob man was not expecting that.
Yep.
Thank goodness for that!
I came home from hospital last night , yeah!
Kidneys now working at 11%, which is 11% more than they were on Sunday. The only downside at the moment is having to use the loo a lot. It looks like the medicos clobbered them with multiple contrast CT scans and antibiotics they were treating my fever for.
Bad news is my blood sugar, which was a little high , but under control, went totally haywire, they had stopped the tablets because of kidney interaction, and I am now on insulin.
The good news is I don’t have Covid, flu, RSV, HIV/aids, or any of the 3 hepatitis:-)
All things considered, happy to upright and breathing!
Great news, Dio.
In light of the blood sugar news, best avoid the chocolate milk for now. 😀
ATM everything is so haywire, the diabetic educator said go ahead and have the celebratory sugar free chocolate milk. It was sooo good.
It’s nice to celebrate the little things.
Thank heavens for artificial sweeteners! (And stevia.)
I’ve been off sugar for years now, not because of diabetes but as a general health measure. I note now that scientists believe a high sugar low fibre diet is causing mutations to the gut microbiomes of young people.
Well done Diogenes. 😀
Wow. Chin up, we are all thinking of you here Diogenes.
All the best, Dio.
Hang in. Best wishes.
We’re riding the bumps with you, Diogenes!
Good result. Take care and follow any instructions going forward. Basically where I ended up – things should stay alright if everything else remains OK.
Oh dear .. putz my kidney overload probs due to prostate into a very minor ctaegory .. all the best …..!
I am so amazed and impressed at how people here cope with some terrible afflictions with good grace and humour. It’s humbling stuff. Hope all goes well for you, Diogenes, from now on and for all others here who are in medical strife of one sort or another.
Plenty of protein and fat might help your diabetic tendencies. Dave Mac at No Carb Life has lots of ideas.
Best wishes…
Keep up the good work Diogenes!
Stand by for the Green-Left media to go ooga-booga on nuclear again.
Fluffy Annaliese dredged up that old standby “nuclear waste”, which even Mr. Gaia himself (James Lovelock) said he’d be happy storing under his house! Australia has vast areas of geologically stable vacant land where a waste storage facility could go, but experience shows that there’s always an alternative bunch of “Elders” that enviro-loons can enlist to object to a site which genuine elders have already OK’d. Same as Gas Processing plants onshore in WA.
Fluffy Annaliese is a perfect description of that stupid female.
At a recent energy debate organised by the IPA a nuclear expert stated that so little real danger exists re nuclear waste that it is even stored on site in many reactors OS.
Why not store nuclear waste at Maralinga in Woomera? It’s already out of bounds due to the nuclear tests there in the 50s.
IFRs use nuclear waste from other reactors; and Natrium reactors, Molten Salts, don’t have any waste.
There’s facts Gez and then there be horseshit on a grand scale. Daily Telegraph:
So did these other people who voiced concern get a bit of dosh?
And underwater Aboriginal sites? Who knew that those along the coast were your regular Jacques Cousteaus. FMD
During all the talk on nuclear today, keep an eye on the small print for mention of gas.
If they’re going to dump coal (which is stupid, but…) we’re going to need gas “to 2050 and beyond” as Labor’s resources Minister King has conceded.
Given the lag time for nuclear plants, Dutton needs to take on the gas cartel and move towards a domestic reservation policy or propose another mechanism to guarantee supply at an affordable price or we’re stuffed.

That, plus strip mining and keeping the coasts apart is what much of it is only good for.
We desperately need to build a canal from PortaGutta (Port Augusta) to Lake Eyrie. Flood the place permanently and recreate the environment that delivered rainfall to the Red Center.
I want it done more for the screeching and tears from the Greens that will keep them occupied while we get on with it.

I say, enough! of this contorted nonsense. If the celestials- or the Krauts, or the Frogs, or the First Nationses, any of the proud ancient cultures want to adopt our sensible roman alphabet, they can play a straight bat with pronunciation and definitely not expect to command their very own exclusive sub-rules of contradictory lisps and stutters. We Proud British have a perfectly sensible system of keeping spittle and gobs of upper respiratory viruses out of polite discourse. The exceptions to the rule- say, Anthony Albanese- stick out as an instant indication of lickspittle midwits.
This has not been thoroughly thought through.
The old Wade-Giles transliteration was much easier to follow, compared to PinYin
Umm, not really guys. There never was a place named ‘pee king’. Instead by Wade Giles the pronunciation is exactly the same as now with Pe pronounced ‘Bei’ and king pronounced ‘Jing’ with a hard J (not soft ‘zzz’!) Also WJ had the little numerals over each syllable to tell you the tone, just as Pinyin has wavy lines. But most typewriters can’t do either so…
Oh and Wally – Giles and Wade were thoroughly British chaps who worked out this system. Pinyin is better because it uses fewer letters.
‘WJ’? I meant WG, oh dear, losing it.

The official transcript of Biden’s speech at the fundraiser. Holy hell.
I stumbled on a raging controversy on twitter about Tasmanian Aboriginals abandoning fish consumption around 2000 years ago (that and other things)
Other than typical Palaeolithic fish traps in rivers and creeks is there any evidence that Aboriginal people ventured out to sea, like in boats or on rafts?
They might have spear fished in shallow water but I don’t know that they had nets etc.
I’m very dubious about the relationship with whales, other than the occasional beached ones.
And again if late 19th Aboriginals adopted Christianity, apparently with enthusiasm as so many became pastors and ministers I doubt the clarity of handed down spiritual beliefs and more importantly why we should care about them.
Rosie, I’m not sure if you are just referring to deep water fishing. But they did construct quite ingenious fish traps ( I have one from Maningrida) for streams & rivers. These were made from strong vines & had an inner second tunnel which traps the fish.
One wonders at what external cultural influences may have been at play in the northern coastal regions too. They were less isolated than other aboriginal areas. New Guinea slash and burn agriculturalists had very good net-making skills and the ideas could easily have percolated across by occasional visitors or via the Torres Strait islands. I’ve been amazed as some of the more advanced sorts of artifacts made in the north that don’t seem to be replicated, as far as we know, in the south or west of the continent.
The fish traps that I know of are from the mainland, of course.
Indigenous pseudo-anthropology is the attempt to underwrite the claim of “world’s oldest continuous culture” with academic capital.
The revolution is being subsidised…to the tune of $300K in this instance.

I specifically mentioned fish traps on inland waters and they were no more ingenious than those constructed by Palaeolithic people in other parts of the world.
The thing is, other people moved on to rods and nets and boats etc.

Glenn Greenwald: Antisemitism, Attacks on Free Speech, and Everything You Need to Know about Brazil
Nazi salute and public display of symbols to be punishable by up to five years in prison in proposed WA lawsWed, 19 June 2024 2:00AM
Josh Zimmerman
Displaying a Nazi symbol in public — or performing a Nazi salute — will be punishable by up to five years in prison under new laws that will be introduced to Parliament on Wednesday.
The WA crackdown comes amid a recent rise in anti-Semitism following the outbreak of the Israel-Gaza war in the wake of a Hamas-led attack on the Jewish state on October 7.
Under the proposed laws, it would become illegal to display a wide range of Nazi symbols in a public space.
They include the Hakenkreuz — better known as the swastika — as well as the Nazi flag and eagle, SS bolts and depictions of the Nazi salute.
Don’t you love it when our politicians spring into action…80 years too late.
Meanwhile, what about the Hamas flag and paraphernalia, IS state, Hizbollah and so on?
Cowards.
When they start arresting pro-Palestinian thugs, I might believe them.
Till then, it’s all bunting.
An Indigenous academic, who criticised the cultural and environmental impacts of the controversial Illawarra offshore wind zone, was recently the recipient of a $300,000 research grant from the Albanese government.
Dr Jodi Edwards, an adviser and leader in the local Dharawal community, was commissioned in February to “explore how Indigenous songlines have protected whales and dolphins over hundreds of years”.
How on earth could that happen?
Could I get a $300k grant to ‘explore how kebab outlets have created cultural songlines across Melbourne?’ Maybe.
They’re havin’ a laff.
Unfortunately, the laff is at our expense, in more ways than one.
Still, it will be an interesting test of how much is needed to buy an indig wakademik.
Don’t you love it when our politicians spring into action…80 years after the fact.

The animal protection thing is a modern obsession of the comfortably well off and getting a $300,000 will certainly make Jodi comfortable. I expect the indigenes would have been more interested in how to get their hands on all that meat floating offshore.
We are being defrauded of our taxpayer money at every turn.
