Andrews is one of those persons I could not ever be in the same room as.
His destruction of Melbourne and Victoria will be seen alongside Cain/Kirner.
Yes Melb CBD is dirty and threatening now
Haven’t been there since the early 90s. Bits weren’t great then but would never put any of it as threatening.
Andrews is a pure political animal. Nothing he does is without a angle.
I would find it difficult to be in the same timezone as Andrews.
Come to think of it, why the RC church never excommunicated him because of his abortion record as health minister is beyond me too. I’m sure Mannix would have.
That’s because the Church has been seduced by the Left, and is quite comfortable as a skinsuit.*

Defecation on Wasaga Beach prompts progressives to label critics ‘racist’
Tell our governments to stop passing the buck and fix our cities!
David Menzies visits Ontario’s famed Wasaga Beach, where local residents have been complaining about Indian people defecating on the beach — only to be labelled as “racist” by progressives.

The Glad Bag shows how tough it is to get things up on appeal. NSW ICAC claims another Lieboral. Although I didn’t have the Glad Bag going in a sex scandal in my weekend Multi.
If you are a Liberal misplacing a biro is an ICAC offense. And don’t even think about drinking a bottle of wine.
First they came for the green berets and then it was the sandy berets.
New Chief Defence is Navy so what does he care.
That very much depends on the merits of the case.
She chose to play the political game yet decided not to abide by its rules; rules which are intended to protect the public purse from the threat of corruption.
At the end of the day, she retains a well-paying position at Optus.
Others convicted in much less weighty matters never get a second chance.
But of course Bambi Kenneally knew nothing , repeat nothing, about what her esteemed mentors Obeid and Tripodi, and her distinguished colleague Orkopoulos, were up to.
‘Poor little me’, she said, flicking her fringe and batting her eyelashes, ‘if only I’d known’: and the ICAC believed her!
Been watching some interviews of Jim Morrison.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQfr-BtcDII
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OiQnqA6zRkE
Morrison is much more thoughtful, educated and obviously well read than one might have assumed.
A genuine free- thinker, I doubt he would have had a bar of the woke stupidity of modern times.
Not at all the hippy- dippy commie radical as some of his contemporaries.
So, I’m claiming Jim as an anti- woke icon.
If we have Johnny Rotten and the ghost of Jim Morrison, we can’t lose.
As an aside, in that second interview with Howard Smith of the Village Voice, Smith shows every sign of being the type of smarmy, not too bright, arsehole journalist we have come to know in recent years, and Jim befuddles, angers and confuses him with the same type of humour Trump deploys. The left just doesn’t get it. They didn’t get it then, and they don’t get it now. They just don’t have the humanity or wit to get it.
Bookmarked. Will watch tomorrow. From memory, Morrison was a child of the military – an admiral.
Always loved The Doors.
L.A. Woman is still one of my favourite albums.
Johnny Rotten got cancelled by the BBC: not for the in-your-face crudity of the early Sex Pistols, but for saying out loud what everybody in the business knew but would never dare say about Jimmy Savile.
Re Andrews,”“I think I’m obliged to say that I do not at this time support a recognition of a Palestinian state,” he said.” Note he leaves options open.He can change his mind whenever it suits him. Weasel words. Typical of Andrews.

News here talking about an attack on French Eurostar in London?
Roger that article by Adam Creighton you posted this morning had me thinking about it all day- the way our supposed representatives compete with each other to make our lives harder and more unpleasant, not the other way around. What a perversion of the Australian Constitution.
Latest on SNCF sabotage. Apparently fires have been lit beside lines.
https://news.sky.com/story/vandals-target-paris-olympics-by-setting-fires-to-damage-high-speed-train-routes-13184855
According to the Mail, the blame lies with Russia, Russia, Russia. snork.
Is that this?
Sabotage’ Hits France’s High Speed Rail Network Hours Before Olympics (26 Jul)
I’ve long thought that VFTs would be vulnerable – all it would take is one hijacked truck full of rocks on the tracks and a train going at 300 kph would be instant confetti.
Will our Australian leftards making their pilgrimage to the home of Sartre, Derrida, Foucault etc etc refuse to travel on SNCF or turn on the lights in their rooms because they are nuclear powered, I wonder?
It’s a little known aspect of French Law that any attack on a Very Fast Train introduces one to Madam La Guillotine.
On my way to Waterford. Collected the mail for my hosts who are out for the day. They don’t bother with a house number or the road, just the town and the postie knows.
Couldn’t take me to the bus station so they put me on the three day a week service for shut ins, had to give the lady of the house’s name. All very well until the driver asked me the name of the road, I’ve walked back and forth often enough to feel like I know every blade of grass but not the name of the road, and how did he find it?
The only other passenger had a brogue on him I could barely understand.

Please now expound on how your experience wearing a blue cap in airconditioning, and well away from nasty men allows you to comment with authority on this subject.
I have the vaguest recollection of watching a YouTube fillum, perhaps last year, regarding the architectural engineering of the Twin Towers. What struck me was the internal flooring only sat on brackets attached to the exterior (and internal structural core) shell. I’ve no doubt butchered the details here, but I recall that once the weight of one floor fell off these ‘brackets’ (whether due to heat or movement, I cannot remember), it added to the weight of the floor below, etc. etc. Hopefully a sharper Cat can explain that better than I, but my understanding was that this non-fixing of the floor to the outer shell was a key initiator of the collapse.
No matter how much you hate the media, it will never be enough.

A little less of the intensive grimacing and you may just find the audience you crave. I would have walked past, and thought of you as another one of those millennial tossers who should be amazed at your skills but aren’t.
Your loss.

Look from a mate ex RAR on the Cdo Berets.
To wear the rifle green beret/skippy badge you must pass Corp Training at SOI and march out. Be posted to an RAR unit or be less than 2 postings outside an RAR unit but in an all Corps role like a HQ (Mate admits this one is abused). Posted logistics staff or attached arms corps cannot wear the skippy badge with rifle green beret.
Otherwise it’s the navy blue (Dark blue) beret and that includes ARes grunts. Mate has said unless there has been a change loggies wouldn’t dare wear the Sherwood Green Cdo beret but ARes were allowed after completing Cdo operators course.
Mate also said that rumours been abounding for years they will wind up reserve Cdo selection pathways and only allow separating members from Reg Cdo into the reserves apparently like the SASR does due to skills gap/fade. Possibility this is in progress now.
Very few RAAFies have ever achieved this.
No great socio-political insights to report from Fiji, Cats, because we’ve not left the confines of this resort for four days. However one aspect of industrial relations did impinge upon consciousness, and not from the ‘staff’ servicing our every need either. Oh no. They are well paid and come with the territory we are paying for. ‘Twas when on our first afternoon on a sunny day we went for a swim in the Adults Only pool. Not many there because some winter renos were taking place, driving adult aesthetes to the two other pools given that it was post school holidays. We stayed for the length of it, a big twenty-five metre long pool where Hairy and I happily did our laps, me showing off my new teal blue-green swimsuit to replace to one stolen in Sydney. Shame about the colour – pace Hairy – but it is a stylish one-piece with a classy midriff buckle and fits well with some cross-over draping, a multi-size that fits well now yet suits future aspirational slimming targets, that’s the benefit, teal or no teal, so thank you Jantzen.
A small group of eight young Aussie chicks and four blokes from their group were having a pool cocktail party on and near the steps at the entrance end. Did I hear one cocktail being called a Climate Driver? I think I did. As I did my first lap I noticed the work going on up the far end to the left, which consisted of many workers removing a large expanse of old decking and replacing it with new stuff. They were still at the removal stage, but what impressed was that there were so many of them. Swimming back to base, I started my second lap and assuaged boredom by counting the men working on site. All Fijians, eleven wearing white hard hats and tradie company uniforms, ten wearing two different sorts of standardised gear but no headgear, and six in nondescript work clothes, one wearing a fedora with dreadlocks. So there were 27 men on site doing this one job, which though large I suspect could have been done by a team of six Aussie tradies in a morning.
These guys seemed to have been there most of the day already, because it was approaching 4pm knockoff time. I watched as a few of this crew desultorily picked up a few small planks each and wandered off, while others sat holding bits of string up, or swished a broom around or just looked busy doing nothing. Two Fijian men in white hard hats then wandered in and looked around, said a few things and disappeared. I also noticed two Fijian plumbers from the same company, no hats, working on pipes on the right hand side near my (unmarked) lap lane.
As I swam back to base again near the steps the young blokes and their girls were noting the activity and the numbers of workers. I heard one of them saying to the other blokes what were they doing over there, milling around, and how many were there, hard to tell from here.
Twenty-nine, I announced to them as I stood up before my next lap. I’ve just counted them. Plus two white-hat supervisors. On Fiji time and Fiji rules, though I didn’t say that bit out loud. The job was still only half done when we swam there today, two days later. We had really heavy rain last night, a real tropical downpour, which might have also clipped their work wings.
29, and that’s not including the plumbers on the other side.
Hairy reckons it’s probably a whole village and there may be something in that, though different companies involved.

Tell me! Promise me you’re not heading off on another cruise, because after the one tangled up with COVID I would’ve thought you had learnt your lesson. You were almost banned from coming back home for two years!
I guess I am a slow learner, JC.
Interesting to watch the news about the security for the Paris Olympics. What are they scared of? What does Paris have that worries everyone so much? mmmmmmm… quite a mystery.
Surely it has nothing to do with Faranji (Frank) the Muz word for the non believing enemy.
JC, tomorrow we are taking a short, very short, three day cruise to some of the nearby Fijian islands, including the one where Tom Hanks was filmed being inventive and going slowly bananas in ‘Castaway’. Since the Covid event we’ve done our Panama Cruise and a US road trip, then an Italian road trip and an Adriatic and Aegean cruise ending in Rome, we’ve also been through the Caribbean and up the Amazon on a cruise flying around South America afterwards, then there’s this little show tomorrow and we’re heading to South Africa in December to pick up a cruise up the Indian Ocean to the Arabian Sea, ending in Dubai (Hoothis notwithstanding, so far anyway). We’re then heading for Christmas in England and Hogmany in Scotland.
Just so’s you know I/we are packing as much into the remaining years as we feel we can manage and enjoy. As well as visiting up and down the eastern coast of Oz to visit our family. I think Bruce in WA is one of the big cruisers on the Cat. And Calli is catching up too. I find it a very relaxing way to travel though I also like to intersperse cruises with land travel, for variety.
Go for it. 😀
I guess the kids must be overjoyed watching the inheritance falling by the hour. 🙂
They will do alright, JC, nary fear.
My goodness, but this cruise is full of people doing the same.

I’m in the Waterford share house. A bit misleading as while the owner lives in he he has five rooms to let and one bathroom for us all.
And a lot more ‘lived in’ that the glamorous photos suggested.

It’s only 3 nights so I’ll grin and bear it.
Conclusion on page 43.
That bloke is a deadset wanker, fool and bullshit artist. Anyone who believes anything he says has quite severe comprehension problems.
For a starter every floor of those two buildings weighted around 4,500 tons. A Boeing 767 weighs about 80 tons and both planes were traveling at about 500 mph and were carrying about 15,000 gallons of jet fuel.
If that is not enough data, how about the initial impact being equivalent to approximately 85 tons of TNT being detonated in each building. The structural damage caused by the aircraft hitting the buildings was catastrophic, then the burning fuel weakened the steel enough for the south building to collapse first because there was about 150,000 tonnes of building above the damage and there was 76,000 tonnes above north building impact zone.
The same people who believe the crap this goon puts forward probably believe that the windows blowing out were caused by explosives. How about each floor covering almost an acre (4046 sqm) in area and being 3.5 m high so there was approx 14,000 cubic metres of air in them. That air was instantaneously pressurised to almost infinity as over a million tons compressed it and it had to go somewhere. It blew out the bloody windows as it pressurised the lift and stair wells.
Isn’t steel made of dust that vapourises the brain cells of anyone that can see it happening? Asking for SFB.

Morrison was reading books in high school that his teachers knew nothing about. Thinking he may have been lying they confirmed the books by going to the Library of Congress. He was very well read. It is claimed he scored 149 on an IQ test. His grades weren’t good, not outstanding. That probably reflects that he was more interesting in following his thoughts than the syllabus.
There are other rock stars that are intelligent though very few in the category of Morrison. Ian Curtis of Joy Division was very well read, his lyrics contain allusions to a wide range of literature and he won writing competitions at school. Morrison was stupid and overdosed on heroin, Curtis committed suicide. Both were tortured souls. It has been suggested Morrison was sexually abused as a child\teenager, and Curtis had severe epilepsy that was destroying his brain.
Arky I don’t know why you were impressed. Even at 1.5 speed he is only speaking at a reasonable speed. There’s nothing substantial there. Too many drugs, too many parties, too much booze. Wrecked himself. Almost said as much when asked if he read a lot he said not anymore.
I’m not surprised you weren’t impressed John.
Jim had a slow, southern drawl. His father was from Georgia. You can listen to him speak in interview too.
