Outstanding!!!
I made the observation in a comment on the weekend that not even the Russians, at the height of Communism, mocked and ridiculed the slaughter of the Imperial family in that Ekaterinburg cellar. On that hideous night in July 1918, in that cold cellar, five innocent children were butchered, the young girls bludgeoned to death because the bullets didn’t work, they ricocheted off the girls due to the jewels sown into their undergarments, and so the soldiers used bayonets to hack the girls to death.
Nobody celebrated it, even Lenin was loathe to discuss it. Every country on the planet has historical events they would rather forget, or at least put into a basket of ‘it happened but let’s not discuss’. Most adults know this, celebrating and mocking Marie Antionette’s guillotining is both obscene and adolescent, but we live in adolescent times.
I understand the guards were recruited from The Ukraine because no Russian soldiers would do the deed. Certainly explains the hatred still showing today.
The soldiers who murdered the Imperial family were a mixed bag, comprising not just Ukrainians but also Austrians and Hungarians, the latter being POWs who were recruited into the Red Army. one of the soldiers stationed in the Ipatiev House and who is thought to have participated in the murders was Imre Nagy, later Communist leader of Hungary, who led the Hungarian uprising in 1956, only to be hanged by the Russians.
OK, fair enough. I understood that the group who raped, murdered, and tortured the Imperial Family were Ukrainian, but as you say – a mixed bag.
Got my latest missive from Eraring concerning their fuking gigantic battery:
Eraring battery powering ahead – Energy Magazine
The useless thing will have a final capacity of 2100MWh and give no change out of $1 billion. Some quick calculations before we start stoning bureaucrats and pollies behind this monstrosity:
2100MWh = 2,100,000 kWh
Average house uses per day ~ 30 kWh
In NSW ~ 3,000,000 houses
They need ~ 90,000,000 kWh per day
Batteries lose ~ 50% of stored electricity in storage and release conversion processes, effective capacity of Eraring super battery is 1,050,000 kWh
To work out how long Eraring would power 3,000,000 homes needing 90,000,000 kWh per day: 90,000,000/1,050,000 = ~ 85. 24/85 = ~ 0.3 hours or 20 minutes.
So $1 billion for 20 minutes; for 24 hours = $1 billion X 3 X 24 = $72 billion
Houses are only 20% of NSW power use so to power the whole state = $72 billion X 5 = $360 billion
BUT, with all reliable fossils gone and no nuclear and wind and solar only working for 30% of the time, how are the batteries going to get power to store.
The batteries are there ONLY to arbitrage volatility caused by renewables and the lack of dispatchable energy.
It is peculiar that the French can have a sense of humour about Marie Antionette, but you frightbats get your petticoats in a bunch about it.
Nobody cares, Munted.
PISS OFF, NAZI.
F**K off Gimp.
Far from it.
I’m not religiously invested myself. For me the image is, fairly simply, children trying very, very hard to be avant-garde and shocking – but actually ending up writing ‘piss bum fart’ on the front door of the Louvre.
The abiding interest is in the gaslighting by the Paris2024 Committee and the subsequent cover up by the leftly-oriented, orchestrated around the Bart Simpson Defence.
Off the blocks, Paris2024 was out and proud, confirming that M. Jolly used Da Vinci’s Last Supper as his inspiration.
Once the screaming started, and the tragic ‘we’re sorry you’re offended’ apology bit the dust, it was instantly into ‘but you misunderstood, you ignorant peasant’ mode.
Which has been uncritically and enthusiastically picked up and magnified beyond any return by those for whom drag queens are the epitome of all that is good and sophisticated in 21stC life.
So no way back now.
And perhaps predictably, Blue Smurf ripples have entered the US Presidential election:
Biden, Harris called out by religiousgroup for staying silent on ‘insulting’Olympics Last Supper drag parody
So, quite a bit more interesting than “a momentary image”.
Iron Law: It’s always the cover up that really gets things going…
Dear Monty.
The opening ceremony was crap.
The UK tried to be crappiest with its pean to a health bureaucracy, but the frogs topped it with pedo smurf and the testicle tableau.
It was lame.
You flatter it.
Nothing tickles the funny bones as much as the French Terror.
I can hardly wait for a reprise.
Perhaps they’ll do it as street mimes.
Nah. I want to hear bellowing of the elites “But it’s for your own good!” as they are dragged over the cobblestones to their doom.
The Spanish Inquisition.
Yes, I know the Spanish Inquisition and the Terror were two different events, but I don’t care.
Funny how Monty comes here with all the unoriginal social media talking points and thinks we don’t know.
Hey Nazi, overnight in Paris, at a game where an Israeli team was playing, Pallie Nazi supporters stood up in the stands and and screamed “Heil Hitler” and performed Nazi salutes whilst the Israeli national anthem was being played.
Any condemnation, Nazi? Oh, and since you’ve long said on these pages how much you ‘want to punch a Nazi’, well then, here’s your opportunity, get to it, go buy a plane ticket and head off to Paris. I wanna see you ‘punch a Nazi’.
Cassie,
the Gimp has been masturbating to the footage since it aired.
And while he is in Europe, he could drop in at Malmo.
Or, since he is a gutless worm, perhaps not.
I saw the video of Trump addressing (evangelical?) Christians, it was not controversial, unless you are a gaslighting liar.
A good description of mUntyfa, but probably a bit understated.
And no mocking the victims of the terror isn’t ‘tres amusant’.
She was murdered, her young son was abused and murdered, as were thousands more innocent victims.
It was a long time ago—230 years ago, in fact. But even so, what’s humorous about a woman having her head lopped off, brought on by an angry mob?

Having knocked around in the entertainment and hospitality industries in my younger days, they were industries where bright, hard-working people could get ahead irrespective of their formal qualifications. They learned by doing and being there.
I am trying to imagine the tour manager for Cold Chisel being confronted by a woke cat lady with a Bachelor of Entertainment Management. Disbelief would be the most polite reaction imaginable.

They should have stayed to flying regional routes in NSW/Vic that the red roo & now defunct Virgin Regional ignored. Their forays into NQ I know were fruitless where Sunstate (aka Qantaslink) have the place sewn up with a few smaller airlines like Skytrans & Air North and only lasted as long as the Fed subsidies were in payment.

I haven’t had any contact with the Highah Edukashun sector this century (and I’d like to keep it that way) but the figure of $115k seems high to me.
Even if it has grown with CPI, most of the time since she left Uni has been fairly low inflation, so that doesn’t explain it.
Could it be that she has course-hopped between the ages of 18 and 26 (“pursuing mah passion”) and has racked up a higher than standard debt?
?
Would also be a function of never having a job that met the repayment threshold. I recall I hit it a couple of years after leaving. ATO repayment rates were quite low I recall and appeared on your payslip and group certificate.
Another failed Econ 101 student. The costs were cheaper when she began as well. No doubt the second bit of paper had a lot of crossover credits.

I have no sympathy for the bint who racked up $115K for a mickey mouse degree but smell a rat. What other discipline did she rack up a sizeable debt with before switching?
That said HECS needs a massive overhaul. Needs to return to the one degree only and Postgrad at your expense model that I experienced. Lastly needs to be capped so these idiots can’t jump all over the place avoiding real life without consequence…
Bachelor of Arts at the University of New South Wales.
Oh, missed that but still the 2 together shouldn’t rack up $115K.
Nah, just cut it back so only the top 10% get free degrees, then everyone else can pay, with employers permitted to pay for employees degrees, conditional on graduates working for them for 5 years. Just go back to the 60’s. That’s how we got a man on the moon.
Now the banks use it in calculating home loan eligibility the real life consequences are front and centre.
Oh great. Many thanks. It was Martin Durkin.
I got to wondering if a white South Africa hosted the Olympics and decided to do a little parody of Martin Luther King being offed by James Earl Ray during their opening ceremony.

Albo’s Big Housing Build* is c. 50% behind its 23/24 target while new build approvals are at their lowest level in 13 years, down 8.5% since last financial year.
*1.2 million dwellings in 5 years.
Seems the only state where private dwelling approvals went up is QLD.
Somehow, I suspect that the population Ponzi will not be cut back to match the already bad housing shortfall.
Just for starters, we now have thousands of international students denied extended visas under Albanese’s “reforms” applying for asylum. It’ll take years to work through them all & in meantime granted they’re granted bridging visas a possibly Red Cross assistance with accommodation and living expenses courtesy the taxpayer.
Hello, Ozzie taxpayers!
The degree mills should put a warning on some of their courses: The prospect of employment in the subject you have chosen is diddly squat.
Given the international interest, I’m expecting the Brisbane Games to open with a humorous musical version of the Childers backpackers hostel fire.
Maybe a chorus line of Steve Irwin’s and a few stingrays. This is easy.
Actual stingrays?
Are the Steve Irwins real croc hunters or drag versions?
These are the details that count.
Smurf Steve Irwins or maybe furries?
Speaking of which the memorial – the reconstructed Palace Hotel – is quite well done & is part of a main street of mostly heritage listed 19th C. buildings.

Have just boarded the Glacier Express, out of St Moritz to Zermatt. Eight hours but kills air travel, basically because a) you can move around a lot more, and b) great scenery.
I am coming to the conclusion that Switzerland is the Japan of Europe. Everything is clean, everything works on time and as it should, and the people all seem happy, co-operative and hard-working.
All true. Their banking sector rises above expectations for a small country too. lol
Always keep an eye on the HELP cut off date. Unless you plan on being there at the end be gone before then.

The point being made – quite well I thought – was that wanton evil is to be condemned everywhere.
I was serving in the Coalition forces in Iraq in 2006 when Saddam was handed over the Iraqis for execution. It was accompanied by much derision and they botched it too.
I thought that was savagery at the time and do so now.
Or perhaps a re-enactment of necklacing a Zulu?
How about a re-enactment of the Belanglo State Forest murders?
Speaking of Childers, the memorial for the backpackers – the reconstructed Palace Hotel – is quite well done & is part of a main street of mostly heritage listed 19th C. buildings.

Yes indeed. Childers is a little gem. There can be benefits from time passing towns by.
Most definitely!
I stayed there on a job I was doing near Paradise Dam. Hosts were very good at that stage.
Restaurant was very nice and I took on the kilo steak on last night there, too bad I didn’t elect to time it otherwise my name would have been on the honour board.
Passed through on Sunday, but didn’t stop. Was too frustrated by the fact they closed the Bruce Highway for the annual Childers Festival !

“Islam is right about gays and women”.
Discuss.
Which Islam?
Outside the Quran there is no generally accepted authority.
I’ve no problem with that in itself, but it makes judging Islam difficult for outsiders.
Not least for Western liberal politicians overseeing mass immigration programs.
Society is capable of swinging from licentiousness to prurient. From one extreme to another.
Is that what we want? Or is a modicum of civil behaviour too much to ask?
Because at the moment, it appears to be so.

I’m just disappointed they didn’t have The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence re-enacting the murders of the martyrdom of the Carmel of Compiègne, a great opportunity for some musical numbers as the sisters stood by the scaffold.
Indeed, or a re-enactment of the massacres in the Vendee during the ‘Reign of Terror’, when over 200,000 men, women and children were massacred by revolutionary forces. The people of the Vendee had risen up to protest the oppression of the Catholic Church.
And it is wrong to think that France is now wholly secular. It isn’t. The Catholic Church is still strong in many parts of France, particularly in Brittany, in the south (such as Provence) and in areas like the Vendee.
In recent history, there has only been two revolutions worth any salt, one was the American Revolution and the other was the Glorious Revolution of 1688 which saw parliament take a supreme role. All other ‘revolutions’ have been demonic, with mass murder being the major feature.
I’m not sure the idiots understand the forces they are playing with, not the reduction in the probability of their own survival should those forces be unleashed in a modern, technological society.
Interesting that you should mention those two examples, Cassie, because there is a hypothesis currently under discussion in academe to the effect that that the American Revolution, contrary to popular conception, was not anti-monarch but anti-parliament because, in the context of colonial America, the parliament was usurping royal powers. Eight of the thirteen colonies were royal colonies and all were established by the king’s authority.
The revolutionary massacre in the Vendee ought to count as the first genocide in modern history. But if course it doesn’t because the victims were only Catholics and therefore deserved it.
I believe it. If people think otherwise, that is fine.

Has Tommy Robinson been arrested for inciting these atrocities.
No not for incitement, it’s for his documentary Silenced. Long & short the appearance of another cover up of bad behaviour by a refugee child that was played up as the victim.
Tommy will be in trouble because he recorded interviews without the knowledge of the people being interviewed mainly the teaching staff who were paid by their council hush money. Apparently libellous according to the Brit establishment. Here’s me thinking libel was a civil matter but that’s apparently what they are using to arrest him.
He brought this up in his one hour forty five min interview with Jordan Peterson in Canada that someone posted here and I got round to watching on the weekend.

Any island in the UK comes under sovereign territory and subject to sovereign law. They’d better stick to that.
You know, obviously the gays are incapable of behaving themselves within the strictures of decent society, so perhaps we need to bring back the Prevention of Unnatural Acts Legislation that we used to have?
My impression is that most homos are quiet and just want to be left alone, but there’s a proportion who are naturally flamboyant and want to flaunt their condition. Tolerating the second group does nothing to keep them quiet, it just encourages them to more extreme behaviour because they desperately want to be noticed. And this goes on until we get the olympics opening ceremony.
Like M0nty, they want attention and to annoy the straight majority. It’s all rather pathetic.
Mme Zulu worked with some not so terribly heterosexual men during her time in the workforce. She confirms what you say – the majority of gay men are in long term relationships, and “just want to be left alone” but there is a militant, younger generation who do want to flaunt their lifestyle.
I don’t mind the flaunting – a bit of colour is a good thing, but there’s far too much pushing the boundaries with no thought of the consequences beyond that of angering, and abusing the rest of society. When this behaviour is unrestrained society will clamp down.
So the point is that restraint will be enforced if the perpetrators of the unrestrained actions cannot/will not do it themselves.
And that’s the point I’m trying to get people to think about – do we just tolerate what the homosexual lobby did to the Olympic Games, or do we enforce civil behaviour on them?
The French Olympic Games went beyond good taste or even risqué conduct – it was in fact a Homosexual Hate Fest and tolerance goes both ways.
Sack the entire crew and make sure they stay sacked.
It is the managers/directors and Olympic Committee that should wear this enormous stuff up.There would have been an initial event concept, marketing plan and proposed budget. It would/should have been approved at a top level and monitored and reported on regularly.
It’s when they want to impose this lifestyle, and that of gender changes, by indoctrinating children in schools and libraries that I start to object. Limited flamboyance in known places, no objection, and no objection to those who want to live together quietly. But keep the lifestyle options for adulthood. That there is this option should be news to anyone under sixteen, not pushed at them from all sides.
They are making a statement, and the statement isn’t really about their sexual choices.
Like trannies who get off on the shock value. Did you think they really like wearing high heels?
The statement – like so many that are made today – is about how much they hate us and hold our values in contempt.
Enough.
The sword of vengeance cuts both ways.
Weirdo, blasphemous, fractured opening ceremony which ceremonialised nothing, 60% vegan menu for athletes, no air conditioning in the hot, humid Parisian summer, flag flown upside down, cauldron holding a fake flame, beds in the athletes’ village like rocks.
Just a thought…do they actually want the Olympics done and dusted permanently?
Nothing would surprise me about these nihilists.
I don’t mind. The Olympics were finished for me when they allowed professionals to compete.
Simple really, give the Games back to the Greeks and let them hold them from now on. It may be a financial plus for them collecting the funds while re-using the venues and stadia.
Indeed. Return the Olympics to their homeland. Just not building new facilities every four years will lift a huge burden.
Be a great opportunity for miles to withdraw… Our offer for a games people would want to see. The Paris games have been Heimanscheidted (sp? – the term is the marketing manager of bud lite) and the brand is worth nothing

Tell you what:
There are a lot of people here in the Northern Territory who spend their lives carrying on about how the NT should become a State.
Taking aside the more obvious commentary response about relative GST percentages and the continual flow of Federal funding into the place, despite the NT being incredibly resource-rich, the actual retort is:
When you can get a pizza on a Tuesday evening, then you can be a State.
Not before.
Place should revert to a Territory run by a few pubic serpents in Canberra. No Senators, no Reps. Like Cantberra.
Surely old Boomers in caravans aren’t putting up with that?
Yep, he was arrested for terrorism. (that’s the official reason)
Real reason for his arrest: He organised a rally of tens of thousands of people, at which there was no violence, no littering, no disorder, no graffitti, no vandalism & no arrests.
Nor were there any Palestinian flags at his rally.
Whatever happened to British justice?
I’d like to go off-topic for a bit.
I want to give a shout-out to all good physiotherapists.
I have mentioned here that I have have had both my knees replaced.
Because the ex decided that was an excellent opportunity to replace me, I didn’t receive as much post-op physio as I should have.
A couple of months ago, I decided to go for a course of physio to see if I could improve my balance and flexibility. It has been four and a half years since the op. I fall over easily but, the main problem is getting back up again. I have had to call friends to give me a hoist. This can be a problem when your nearest neighbour is 3 kilometres away.
Anyway, the physiotherapist I visited told me that, she really didn’t believe she could do anything for me as it had been so long since the op.
I said that I would like to give it a go.
Three weeks in and both of us were surprised at how well it was going.
Anyway, long story short, yesterday I was taking the pups out for a walk and, the big boy literally yanked me off my feet. For the first time in almost ten years, I was able to get myself back on my feet in less than two minutes.
No outside help needed. Still rather stunned by it.
It has been eight weeks since I started with the physio and the improvement has been amazing.
I still use a stick when walking in the paddock and for steps or uneven ground, but I can finally see a time when I can go up and down steps again.
So don’t forget to thank your physiotherapist if you are fortunate enough to have a good one. 😀
RU in Brisbane cos it sounds like we have similar problems, and I’d appreciate a suggestion.
Damon,
my physio is in Goulburn, NSW.
Sorry mate.
I can tell you how she has been torturing me if you like. 😀
The physio in this part of the Wild West has a very good reputation, indeed.
I think physio has improved in leaps and bounds since I was sort of involved in the early 80’s. Hubby had plantar fasciitis and after a year I got him to see a physio. He had his foot strapped, and repeated the strapping himself, and four weeks later was fine and has been ever since. We have a local physio business that has a big reputation (ie sees many sports people including Olympians). Rural southern NSW.
A good physio has kept my fractured coccyx pain at bay for Fiji (that, plus a big injection in the hospital), but sitting on those rubber Zodiac speedboats being bumped over the big waves means I’ll have to see her again soonest. I’m hoping another injection and physio will get us to our December Christmas in England. If necessary, I’ll have a spinal operation next year for it, but it’s too close to our next trip for that now.
Female physios also provide all sorts of emotional support. Mine is a pelvic specialist and she speaks to my whole undercarriage. Very helpful! Not at all embarrassing either.
Glad you have found a good one, Pogria, as there are some duds too.
Hairy swears by the ladies who regularly treat his DVT and Cellulitis swollen feet. They put his legs into all sorts of constrictive stockings and gadgets, but it is all working well. Plus I follow their instructions to give the regular foot massage he requires.
Pogria, I hope you always carry your mobile phone or some other contact system when you are on your own especially outdoors. No fun being immobile and unfound out in the paddocks. Confidence is great, but contingency planning is better.

For those who don’t know what I am referring to, those establishments were boy brothels serving a large network of poofter pedos who operated with impunity for years. The Wood royal commission in the 90s began to investigate them, but backed off when a witness said he saw prominent lawyers there. Most of those involved have never been charged. And the ABC, Fairfax and the political left couldn’t care less; they would crucify any surviving rent boys who tried to go to the police.
I don’t want to live in a society where gays are thrown off buildings, where young girls who have relationships with the wrong type of men are murdered by their father and/or brothers for bringing dishonour to their families and their bodies buried in a pit in a backyard somewhere.
But nor do I want to live in a society where sinister creepy empowered minorities such as the LGBTQI+ brigade use government sanctioned platforms to dictate to us ordinary people, who take advantage of our ‘toleration’, where we are seeing children being groomed by ‘queer’ adults, where we are seeing children being medically butchered by Mengelian doctors in the name of the cult of ‘transgenderism’.
I want to live in a Judaic Christian society, where there is respect for civil law, where everyone is equal under the law. I am not a particularly nostalgic person but I can honestly say that I do not like this world I find myself living in today, in 2024.
Today, contemplating the ghastly news from Southport in the UK, I have been thinking long and hard about the disaster that is the ideology of multiculturalism, an ideology imposed on most of the West, nobody was asked. Hear this, whilst I don’t care about a person’s immutable characteristics such as the colour of their skin or the shape of their eyes, I do care about the culture they come from and let me tell you this, most military age males currently invading Western Europe, who come from shitholes like Afghanistan, Syria, sub-Saharan Africa, North Africa, Bangladesh and so on will never assimilate in the West, rather they are in the West to destroy it and us, and in Southport overnight two young children, who’d gone to a Taylor Swift themed party, now lie dead because of this imposed pernicious and sinister ideology called ‘multiculturalism’.
Come to Adelaide – we had a premier who swung between both sides and allowed trannies and gay males abduct teenage males , drug them, rape then and murder them
Last night’s TV news reported an interesting court case. A young Afghani girl was forced by her mother (they were refs, the father was dead) to marry someone she objected to. The marriage didn’t work out, and as you do, he killed the wife.
He received a very long sentence, but interestingly, the mother was convicted (forget the charge) and received 3 years in jail. It happened in Melboiurne.

This is what I call great dancing
And, I think, to be deported when the sentence is over.
Good.
Yeah, that too, Sanchez.
I was really surprised by this.
Extremely good.
I read that piece – the mother was adamant she’d done nothing wrong, and another postbox in the court had a ‘medical event’ when the sentence was handed down, and wasted hours of valuable ambulance time as well.
Taking the piss, at every opportunity.
Australian women olympic rowers coming out of camera last in series of events.
Hang on. Aussie rowers were always the teams to beat. What could have changed?
Nah, not Government funding and universities taking over of rowing. That wouldn’t be then problem.
Ancient Cats will recall the annual national excitement over the two great Easter amateur sporting events – Stawell Gift and the Kings Cup rowing.
When those same outstanding athletes competed internationally they won fame with no Government support. Apparently something called merit had some influence in those days. Australian people followed their exploits avidly. Nobody expected or wanted Government involvement in our sport.
A pal down the street was a significant ladies international tennis player in the pre-professional era. I often question her about the requirement for women athletes to fund and drag around a ‘chaperone’ when they competed overseas. She hated it but said that it was nowhere near as objectionable as the arrival of Tennis Australia.
She can now barely walk but remains a terrifying golf player.
Government got involved, demanded control of the purse strings, and stuffed it up.
It happens every time and people still allow it to happen. What do they expect?
Courtroom drama as mum jailed for forcing daughter to marry her murdererBy Tara Cosoleto
Listen to this article
3 min
A mother has begged a judge not to jail her as she was sentenced to three years behind bars for forcing her 20-year-old daughter to marry her eventual murderer.
Sakina Muhammad Jan, 48, cried and yelled in the Victorian County Court on Monday, telling the judge through an interpreter she hadn’t done anything wrong and could not accept her sentence.
She is the first person in Australia to be sentenced on the charge of causing a person to enter into a forced marriage since it became an offence in 2013.
One of her supporters collapsed in the courtroom as Jan was led out by corrections guards, with the woman later being taken to hospital in an ambulance.
Jan was found guilty of forcing her daughter Ruqia Haidari to marry Mohammad Ali Halimi in August 2019, after the 20-year-old’s first marriage ended in divorce.
Haidari was considered “bewa” by the Hazara community, meaning she had lost her value, so Jan arranged the second marriage to restore her family’s reputation.
Haidari told friends, teachers and driving instructors she did not want to marry the older man, wanting instead to focus on her studies.
The 20-year-old begged her mother to end the engagement but Jan told her, “no matter what, you need to listen to me, to your mother”.
Haidari and Halimi were married in Shepparton on August 201, 2019. The couple moved to Halimi’s home in Perth later that year.
He killed his young bride five months after their wedding and is serving a life prison term for murder.
Judge Fran Dalziel on Monday found while Jan clearly grieved her daughter’s death, she had shown no contrition for her offending.
“You abused your power as a mother – as the person (Ms Haidari) loved and respected,” the judge said.
“While you believed you were acting in her best interests, you were not in fact doing so.”
Jan blamed others for organising the marriage and said she didn’t know her daughter wanted to back out of the engagement, but the judge rejected her claims.
“Ms Haidari told you she did not want to get married. You told her it was not up to her,” she said.
Judge Dalziel accepted Jan had faced cultural expectations from the Hazara community, but said the law prevented her from considering those customs as a mitigating factor.
The judge noted Jan, who fled Afghanistan with her family, would face deportation if she was jailed for 12 months or more.
Judge Dalziel said the punishment needed to reflect the serious offending, regardless of potential deportation.
“It must be made clear to everyone in our country that forced marriage is against the law,” Judge Dalziel said.
Jan was jailed for three years, but will be released from custody on a recognisance order after 12 months.
Jan initially refused to sign the order, maintaining she could not accept it.
Once the judge had left the bench, Jan’s son Taqi Haidari said it was shameful his mother was being sent to prison after losing her daughter.
Then Taqi needs to be pissed off back home himself.
Ooops, I got the Stawell ‘amateur’ bit wrong.
But you know what I mean. Dontcha!
I don’t think I would have ever made a judge – I would have sentenced the mother of the murdered girl to ten years, hanging upside down, in chains, followed by another ten years, to set her back on her feet.

The FBI reports nationwide crime stats, and recently the Demons have been refuting the claim that crime is up during Hiden’s term.
Fun fact.
Reporting is voluntary, and only about half of the country reports to the FBI. The FBI makes an estimate for those municipalities that don’t report.
Fun fact
The Hiden administration has been claiming that illegal entry into the US is actually much lower than during Trump’s term in office.
Fun fact
Refugee claims are accepted at face value, and therefore, the Hiden Administration doesn’t include refs as part of the illegal cohort.

Report from Cork.
Airbnb a little awkward. After complete silence since May when I politely mentioned to my host I would like to do a load of washing and have dinner at home there was fussing about her private spaces, even though the listing said there was kitchen and ‘shared spaces’.
I was a little put out and wondering whether I should bail to a nearby university student accommodation.
Anyhow she was in the office then home late so I had my Dunnes Stores microwave meal in peace and have yet to spot her.
I have wandered the streets this morning, mass at St Finbar’s ‘the oldest Catholic Church in Cork’ buildt 1766 just around the corner from the remnant tower of the Red Abbey, and the site of the first school opened by the founder of the Presentation Sisters in the mid 1700s, now handed over to the state as social housing.
I’ll go to the gaol this afternoon and catch the train to Cobh tomorrow, I want to visit the emigration museum. The tourist office lady told me there’s a cruise ship in and Cobh is buzzing but I’d kind of figured that from clumps of tourists in town.
Cork is an old fashioned cbd, department stories, baby wear shops, men’s wear and ladies fashion with 1960s mannequins in blonde wigs wearing shirtwaisters in the windows.
I’m having lunch out but not at the joint advertising Pride and Pints.
Try the university accomm Rosie. We used it for a night once when we were stuck with booked-out hotels during the Edinburgh Tattoo. It was OK. Clean and safe, both benefits in what can be a rough town at that time.
Simone Biles is actually amazing.
Have people noticed the Demons have been using the word “weird” when referring to Vance, Trump, and the GOP in general? They’ve particularly used it to describe Vance, though. Someone is saying this is coming from a professional adviser, and in the same way, Hillary was using the word “dark” against Trump.
Apparently, young women use the word “weird” quite a lot, and it’s an attempt to influence them against Trump and Vance.

Parts of the deep state might be preparing themselves to concede to the Trump agenda.
It has to occur to them that when he wins, especially if he has both houses, they’re out of runway, tried all options and now is time to save whatever might be left of their arses.
After all, most of MAGA is just what was considered normal a decade and a half ago.

They look deadly enough to me, Zatara. I hope Trump calls in the army to patrol the border. It’s not any sort of civilian or policing job.

Or elements thereof showing French patriotic pride in Liberty and Freedom.

Yep. Se Uhtred’s conflicts in Bernard Cornwell’s excellent books and TV Series “The Last Kingdom”. For Uhtred, ‘Destiny is All’, and his warrior ethos chases it to its finish. This ethos led conflict in Britain until the full Christianisation of Britain, by about the 9th or 10th century, but remnant elements still remained for centuries and still can be found in the traditions and culture. (See my theories published in Quadrant in 2018 on the Arthurian belief system – getting good readership and uptake of ideas still, on Academia.com )
Under new editorship I don’t think Quadrant has these sorts of interests any more.
That’s unfortunate.

I’ve been saying for some time now that the Regime is coming to terms with the likelihood of a Trump victory. The question though is what will the Regime expect from doing so at home and abroad? I think parts of the Regime are sick of the competency crisis and so would welcome less DEI in theory but will nevertheless pander to DEI in practice. I also don’t see any reversal on immigration; they’ll play the tough on illegals but boost the visa, green card entry tied to qualifications and business entry. Economically, they’re going to go all in on tech because that is where the donors in the Trump camp are from. Abroad, they’ll probably black hole Ukraine (bitter pill for neocons) but it might turn out into another Syria for Trump. He will try and pressure Netanyahu to make a deal of sorts, while turning to China but he may try something Nixonian here.

And in news this morning, a third child has died from stabbing wounds. As I suspected, all the little victims are girls.
The always articulate Mark Steyn has the best analysis of Southport’s massacre of little English girls attending a Taylor Swift themed party during the school holidays.
We all know human evil exists, in individuals and in ideologies. We just expect our various governments, bureaucrats and media to want to and to try to keep us safe. But these people are now so dogmatically twisted that they can’t or won’t even do that, and so three little girls lie dead.
Here is Steyn’s piece
https://www.steynonline.com/14495/the-management-of-murder
I see that PM Der Sturmer, visiting the Southport massacre site, has been heckled and booed. Good. And hear this, in an ideal world we would see not just the perpetrator of Southport’s massacre tried and then swinging from a tree but also those politicians and bureaucrats who’ve enabled this destruction of the West through mass immigration and multiculturalism. You see, I think it’s time we took up the left’s notion of ‘collective responsibility’.
Steyn is very good as again. The authorities can’t even keep their story straight about the city of residence.
I screenshotted the perps name yesterday as I knew that would be the first thing to go, it certainly isn’t a name you’d expect from a lad in Cardiff or Lancashire.
The fact that there are leaks already doesn’t bode well for the British establishment. Same with Tommy’s doco silenced which tells me that the authorities think they can just cover these things up like Rotherham but those at the coal face have other ideas.
One trained parent with a concealed carry sidearm and this would have never happened.
Wake up and smell the new world folks.
If we have Collective Responsibility, then logically we must also have Collective Punishment.
I suggested that and was howled down.
Less than two days ago, most of the media and Sleazy, the slug from Grayndler, the same slug who once shouted ‘smash her, smash her, smash her’ at a female Coalition MP, were sanctimoniously frothing and shouting for the Beetroot’s head.
But Dutton and Littleproud didn’t bite. Notice the difference between Dutton and his predecessors, particularly the unlamented Scumbag, who were always willing to throw their own to the enemy lions?
And now it’s gone quiet, because Dutton and co didn’t bite, they stood firm. The frenzied frothing nonsense has stopped. That’s how you deal with the left, you either stand up to them or you throw the slop back at them. Turning the other cheek or kowtowing to them has never worked and never will work.
They didn’t think anyone would have the hide to unearth the Smash her! tape.
If they keep going, Dutton would have had some fun in Question Time.
I think he should still have a go over the issue. I want to see The Unbelievable’s prestige sails in tatters. He did, in effect, advocate violence against a woman. And not just any woman – a specific woman who sat opposite him.

BREAKING: The FBI is now claiming that the Trump shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks had an unspecified “social media account” in 2019/2020 (when he was 14/15 years old) that posted “anti-immigrant and anti-semitic” content.
This is not consistent with Gab’s understanding of the shooter’s motives based on an Emergency Disclosure Request (“EDR”) we received from the FBI last week for the Gab account “EpicMicrowave” which, based on the content of that EDR, the FBI appeared to think belonged to Thomas Crooks.
Many, particularly regime media reporters, have doubted Gab’s claims that this request existed. Normally we don’t confirm the existence or content of law enforcement communications. In this instance we had to make an exception due to the overwhelming public interest in disclosure and transparency.
As a courtesy to law enforcement, we are not going to post the entire request. This is the first page of that request.
The story is this: the account for which data was requested was, UNEQUIVOCALLY, pro-Biden and in particular pro-Biden’s immigration policy.
To the best of Gab’s knowledge, as of 2021, Crooks was a pro-lockdown, pro-immigration, left-wing Joe Biden supporter.

Southport BURNS As Angry British Public Rise Up
The issue is that the people have had enough, and want answers. The Government is refusing to give those answers and is treating the general public as extremists. The general public know damn well they are not extremists, but they have been pushed to violence to get heard.
Describing them as ‘far right’ is equivalent to petrol on a fire and it will get worse until the communist establishment wakes up to their danger.

As numbers of new recruits skyrocket….
On the Southport murders. Rumours abound about the killer – was he a lad from Cardiff or a Rwandan illegal?
The police statement favours the former. The local people appear to think otherwise.
Here’s a thought. How about the police stop obfuscating on these types of crimes and identify the perpetrators once statements are acquired? There were clearly enough witnesses to identify the man.
The spectre of Rotherham lies heavily on the people of the Midlands, and elsewhere. The police should try to restore public confidence, not suspicion. Otherwise events like the mosque riot will continue, giving even more grounds for accusations of “white supremacy” and the like.
Perhaps that’s how they want it.
Wasn’t there a similar case recently where the offender was initially portrayed as a lad from a Welsh town but when locals were interviewed they described an anti-social loner from a refugee family who had never worked or assimilated?
Perhaps it’s already been consigned to the forgettery.

The Peelers came from the community in order to protect the streets from criminals preying on the average family. The UK police hierarchy are now little more than managers, the protecting role has been relegated to the past and so the protectors are rising back up from the streets.
The UK voted for another lawyer when a warrior is needed.
Unfortunately, there were no warriors with their hands up.
A decent, honourable man of courage would be torn apart in those Augean Stables.
Some good news.
Air New Zealand Scraps Promises to Cut Carbon Emissions by 2030 (30 Jul)
I’d think the recent election has something to do with it also. Air NZ wouldn’t have dared to announce this under a Labour government, but it is politically feasible with the new right-wing one.
Likely, but a loose coalition of non-Labour parties does not make a right-wing government.
NZ PM Christopher Luxon is a former CEO of Air New Zealand.
Da bruvvas ensuring Tony Burqa is well rewarded for his efforts. Will the Mo Bros be so generous?
I would expect that Burke’s security detail has already been revised and increased.
Maybe that will give him pause to ponder the wisdom of importing a ME vote herd.
Further to yesterday’s news that the Albanese misgovernment is 50% behind its domestic dwelling build target (1.2 million dwellings in 5 years) and that all states except QLD experienced a decline in new dwelling approvals in 23/24:

North African Crime-Rate Explodes In Germany (30 Jul)
Made worse I suspect by police taking a softly-softly approach to the problem since the German government is far-lefty.
Germans already had a sizeable Turkish underclass before Mutti Merkel opened the floodgates.
Turks were encouraged to migrate to Germany, for the same reason Algerians were encouraged to migrate to France – cheap labor for industry.
Turks began arriving in Germany in 1961.
I recall leaving a youth hostel very early one morning in 1975 and outside there was a group of women all burka’d up, sweeping the streets. Not sure what city, maybe Munich. Figured they were Turkish.

Isn’t the market supposed to take care of that?
No sales, no profit, shut it down unless there is money in the kitty and hope for recovery.
The German government is literally Green, since the Greens are in coalition with the socialists and a Green is the environment minister. They have passed the usual laws to force uptake of EVs. Unfortunately for them no one much wants them, sales of the things collapsed by 30% since last year. Eventually something is going to break this impasse.
Yep, but it’s not a functioning market when government is picking the winners.
Anyone who thinks that staggeringly stupid labore slag shifted into the “housing” portfolio can rectify the nationwide shortage of housing is even an even bigger imbecile than she is.
Albo isn’t blessed with talent. Something he has struggled with since Uni. Now he’s surrounded by it.
Gottliebsen has helpfully outlined the agenda for her.
You think she can’t follow it?
It’d be laughable if it weren’t so serious.

The Los Alamos people cheered when a speaker said that it was unfortunate that they didn’t finish the bomb quickly enough so that a bomb or two could be dropped on Germany.

B-Ark material.
They needed someone with industry nous, not an overedumacated bimbo. Good luck with those targets ma’am!
Modem leftard parties are all credentialed (but not educated) “Bimbos r us”, and that includes the nominally male members.
Mmm…when was the last time a builder found himself in a Labor ministry?
I say “he” because it must surely predate the advent of the first female Labor minister in 1983.
Be that as it may, you would have to think that if O’Neil stuffs this one up her political career is over.
After all, a bright girl like her wouldn’t be content with the backbench.
Roger:
When there was a leaking tap in the gents.
Why would her career be over ..? Take the ‘turtle” he’s never had a portfolio he hasn’t stuffed yet always getz another …. and then the mediocrity, burqa, ends up wth 5 at once ……. FFS!

I thought it was clear.
Given the Germans’ past history, why spend all that money and political good will to help them not only to rebuild but become a semi superpower.
There was no need for it even taking account of the Soviet threat.
Which as it turned out was mostly bluff anyway.
Germany has been western Europe’s chief geo-political problem since unification.
Better to have them inside the tent…
Read Marcus Woolfe book Roger. He was head spy for East Germany. I have no reason to believe he was lying in it. When they were trying for reunification he was overruled and Willy Brandt was thrown out after Gunter Guillaume, a close aide, was exposed as a Stasi agent by the East German political head of the Stasi to score points in internal political battles he was having. Guillaume knew Brandt was not a Nazi like so many still were in West German politics.
M0nty:”Last time he wasn’t a convicted felon…”
It’s sounds like a niggle, but actually he’s STILL NOT a convicted felon. No judgement from the bench as yet, just a jury verdict. He’s not convicted until the sentencing when the judge says “You’ve been found guilty…”. Which may or may not happen – he may declare a mis-trial due to SCOTUS arguments re: evidence in that case. (He should, but will he?)
And you’re VERY wrong – Trump has a great sense of humor. Look how badly he lives in the heads of the establishment gronks. Even when you explain he is using his “art of the deal” processes to get what he wants, it’s always “the end of the world/democracy/freedom/whatever” when he states a starting position.
They have to destroy “democracy” to save it. They have to force Biden to withdraw from re-election and install their own puppet (Kamala) so the plebs don’t get it wrong like they did with Bernie, thereby ignoring 14 million primary votes. But Biden isn’t “bad enough” to get 25th Amendment-ed , just bad enough in the polls they might lose.
Meanwhile, Trump went through the Republican process normally and won, democratically. If Trump wins in November, it won’t be because anyone cheated, but I can guarantee the Democrats will say it was.
Slight quibble – Biden wasn’t bad enough that the alternative was palatable had he been 25thed.
Maybe, but some tend to piss inside the tent just the same.
Nobody in the late 1940s could foresee the idiocy of multikulti & mass 3rd world immigration to Europe.
Harvard and McKinsey’s encapsulate Everything that is wrong with the US and the West. McKinsey’s pioneered hiring ‘bright’ graduated with zero real world experience.
And after hiring them they indoctrinate their empty minds with DEI.
Vile company. I wonder how much wealth has been destroyed by their ‘bright’ graduated.
Partition of Germany after WW1 back to it’s pre unification state would have saved a lot of grief further down the track.
I don’t think the state of play at the end of WWI permitted that. The Germans would have had to have been invaded, subjugated & occupied. The Americans certainly didn’t have an appetite for that.
Still, a useful start post -WW II might have been to separate (then mostly Catholic) from the rest, and link it with (then mostly Catholic) Austria as a neutral bloc across southern Europe.
(Pulls pin, throws, shouts “grenade” and takes cover)
PS, until the end of WW I, Bavaria was a largely separate state, nominally part of Germany, but ruled by its own king. The Bavarian army was a separate force from the German army at that time.
Precious little on MSM about Venezuelan post-election unrest.
Why am I not surprised they’re so far behind the 8-ball on this?
It was top of the page this morning on the BBC:

Super funds back canola to fuel ‘sustainable’ aviation (Paywallian)
Burning food in planes while burning super balances in stupid green boondoggles. And their timing is about as bad as you can get after Air NZ’s announcement that they can’t afford to use biofuel.
As bad as burning food in cars, as ethanol.
BoN:
Perhaps if there was a subsidy….
You know… for the good of the planet.
Thats like biodiesel. It costs more to process it for use than the stuff out of the ground. And can’t be used in late model diesels as it its not fine enough.
On the plus side, it’s not difficult to make at home when/if the system finally fails.
Any of the bush lawyers on this blog help out? Apparently there was five million quid on the head of the Hezbollah bigwig that the Israelis knocked off the other day. Can Israel claim that reward?
Suppose it would depend on who put up the bounty.
On a related topic, there is still a $15 million bounty on Maduro sponsored by the US.
New minister has a huge job fixing our housing crisis
Robert Gottliebsen The Australian 30 July, 2024
Gottliebsen covers the field of problems pretty well, but solutions are thin on the ground:
1) Using “sticks and carrots” to make everywhere like Brisbane from an approval perspective.
Yes, the BCC approval process is functional, but the outcome here has not been more supply = lower prices. The median Brisbane dwelling price has increased 56.8% since 2020 – 15.8% yoy in 2023/24.
Like everywhere else, Brisbane suffers from struggling/uncompetitive building contractors, trade and supply shortages, over regulation, and the union mafia.
2) Affordability:
A large part of the problem is that over the years the nominal price of housing has increased at a greater rate than wages – particularly at entry level.
When we bought our first house (a modest cottage in Ashgrove), with a 10% deposit the loan amount was slightly less than our combined income as young professionals.
The current median dwelling price is four or five times the average income x 2 – and only slightly better for teachers.
It’s rather sweet that Gottliebsen thinks that “the minister can set up a solution matrix”. It sounds suitably McKinsey; but I suspect that there will be big ALP policy blocks on the matrix that prevent her reaching an efficient solution.
You can’t expect to Build Australia with union power, and import 500,000 new persons, and allow States to run bread and circuses, and have nice things – and affordable housing.
There was a bizarre statement in that article along the lines that our lousy school education system is contributing to domestic violence.
Huh?
Yes, it looked like a stray para from another article.
Could be a comment on the general shitfulness of Australian policy-making, but I suspect we are expected to read in that: failed education = low literacy = DV = split living arrangements = increased housing demand.
Sloppy.
It would need some stats to back it up.
Most people could not afford to currently buy the house they presently occupy. I would struggle, it has increased 4x since the 1990s.
Ours is over 5 times.
We paid $52k for the Ashgrove cottage in 1982.
It sold about two years ago for ~$1.2 million – although presumably the fairly basic 1980’s kitchen and bathroom were renovated in the intervening 40 years.
That’s 23x.
A slab of XXXX was $12 in 1982.
So, $276 at a comparable inflation rate.
Only BobtheBoozer/Winston Smith would pay that.
Depending if it was XXXX Bitter or XXXX Gold.
Yes for Bitter, No for Gold. (I admit to having two slabs of XXXX Gold on the dining room floor, but only as a form of the tradies currency.)
Wink wink nudge nudge.
They ARE covered with an old drape so people don’t notice.
We were lucky to buy of the first price list for our village 3 years ago. Entry level pricing is now 3 times higher,. When we signed up, the difference between lowest and highest was 30k, now it is 600k. The difference from the price quoted in the first price list for the premium block in the 3rd stage is now 1.4 million, house is being built just now.
Unions are only really an issue on multi storey, multi residential construction (affecting Trubigov who is usually in Gottliebsen’s ear over lunch). The front loading of services based on buyer expectations – all at developer expense and capitalised into land prices doesn’t help. When we moved into our childhood home it had no gas, no street kerbing, no deep sewerage and we played in natural bush that became an oval about 10 years later. Home builders did their own site works. Deep sewerage and kerbing was council funded at various points. The land development opposite my current place took 18 months of heavy earthmoving and engineering. The building blocks were tiny, zero lot line terrace types. All perfectly level with not a dollar to be spent for the next 70 years.
Unions are only really an issue on multi storey, multi residential construction…
True.
Which has been the key to growth in Brisbane accomodation over the past 10-15 years.
Those 1.2 million dwellings Albo promised to deliver?
They aren’t houses on 1/4 acre blocks.
They’re still a big part of the mix on Melbournibad cow paddocks and the “secondary” capital cites.
If put to the people in these terms, which do you think they’d rather?
For their children’s and grandchildren’s sake if not for their own.
As I’ve said before in regard to our two-party polity, once a critical mass of the electorate no longer believes they have a stake in society, all bets are off.
The Greens, cynically (because they have no solutions that don’t involve socialising private property), are counting on this.
Amen to that.
For an idea of how high housing prices can rise in the short time .. my son bought 14 months ago at $1.35million last month he was offered $2.4million & this is a Gosford area water suburb ….

Did the article get posted? I’d like to read it.
Bulk av gas is quoted about $2,100 per tonne and unprocessed canola at 42% oil content would be $1,600 per tonne.
Work it out from there if you can find a bulk canola oil price.
Plus processing costs. The stuff is shit anyway. I once built a set of fuel tasks to hold Jet A1/Diesel/biodiesel. Used kevlar cloth and vinylester resin. The resin chemist gave me the special stuff that would handle the biodiesel.
Wonder what it will do to fuel tank sealant and fuel system seals?
There’s been enough problems with older light aircraft when 100/130 avgas went to 100LL which is actually different stuff (little things like your foam carburetor floats dissolving). Modern sealants and materials are designed to handle it.
Jet A1 is landed here for half that cost. Plus just over 3cents/lt for aviation safety tax, plus gst. In the late 80’s and early 90’s I was paying just under 50 cents a litre if I remember correctly and no sales tax. And they didn’t charge me for the drum.

Why is it fellow Kittahs and Cats that on a very small site with not that many commenters called Newcatallaxy.blog, can pick apart many political ideas and projects before they’re started yet government has a whole APS to do that and still everything they touch is effed. Not in good way. Sexy fingers they are not. I know there are a wide range of expertise and experience here but even things that not a lot of us know still have warning bells alerting us this is not a good idea. It matters not who’s idea it was, just about everything has that unintended consequences ring about it. Is it due to no life experience in our so called betters but I can tell you one thing, my nearly four grandson understands explanations and unintended consequences. He likes climbing trees and rockfaces just like his mummy. He knows to hold granddads hand crossing the road in case I get runover for not looking. He’s become responsible for me. Makes me wonder if the numpties in parliament can cross the road by themselves.
GreyRanga:
The reason for our ability to reason out shit is because we live in the real world. Political staff live in a world which has its limits defined by politics.
It’s not a smart arse answer either – it’s reality.
Also, most of us are clever clogs.
I don’t see myself as a clever clogs, I’m just interested in stuff, but I see a lot SFB’s around.
I think you answered your own question.
You are interested in how stuff works.
You are curious,
My experience of those who push themselves forward as our betters is that they are completely uninterested in even the fields in which they are qualified. They got the qualification to get the position.
See those in our parliament more interested in getting spastically drunk and pulling a root. See those caught out on video vigorously bumming in a US senate conference room.
These people are interested in their salaries, their perks, and getting drunk and laid.
Arky,
I’ve heard some different life philosophies before, but I’m not that sure I could beat that one. Well, not before I retired, anyway.
Nowadayz most Oz pollies are more interested in ensuring the paperwork to claim their $310 a night sleep-over allowance is lodged on time than any thoughts of governing Oz ..

He’s on someone’s CCTV, or summat like that.
He’s wearing & totally encased in, a green hoodie, and the video is at quite a distance. You don’t see much.
What you do see, however, is the limb proportions & torso ratio.
All Cardiff indigenous I’ve encountered have had a build similar to somewhere between that of Anthony Albanese & Peter Dutton.
The chap in the CCTV is built like a praying mantis or daddy long legs.
He looks like what you see when you get to the ‘stretch’ mirror in a fairground ‘hall of joke mirrors’.
Supposedly that’s him.
Lefty idiots love recruiting other lefty idiots until the entire APS is a giant useless farce.

And sometimes I feel the APS has a vested interest in making sure things don’t work out. NEEDS MORE OPM!!!!
Empire building is a big problem in public service, the more staff you have the more power you wield therefore expansion is far more important than actual achievements. Failures can always be explained away to ignorant politicians.
I’d suggest there is much more real life experience here, with various failures and successes, than in a large group of people whose adult life experience consists merely of getting elected and enjoying the perks.
Everything starts with truth. The entire APS have to pretend that many lies are somehow true.
Therefore they fail far harder than necessary.

Sky News UK being accused of inflaming the situation in Southport through their anti-citizen rhetoric.
It was apalling commentary, but some of it was simply quoting the “don t jump to conclusions” police stazi who then immediately concluded and announced that protestors were far right racists.
Contemporary police forces are not compatable with the community’s democratic expectations.
In Britain, the police are behaving like an occupying police force.
A Muslim police force. Not quite at the level of a religious police, yet.
But at some stage, the men and women in the street patrols will have to realise they live in the community as well.
That has consequences. Unpleasant ones – as we’ve seen in the Communist regimes in the East. One of them being Police Ghettos.
A riot outside a mosque in Southport UK is bad, shocking, the riot police are there, the MSM are describing the rioters as ‘far-right”.
A riot outside a Synagogue in Melbourne Australia is okay, the Victorian police stand back and do little, the rioters that night were never accurately described as ‘far-left and Muslim Jew haters’.

C’mon, Cats, seriously. “Industry nous” just ain’t gonna cut it.
The choke on production and semi-related price hyperinflation has been created by midwits who thought they had political nous, and they dug deep in to globalization nous, hamstringing supply with high energy prices nous and unionized labour nous, ramming the blood funnel in with every oppurtunity of planning nous, multi-level over-regulatory nous, endangered frog nous, and then cramming the counrty full of immigration nous, before really pouring petrol on the nousfire with lotsa money printing nous. (If you don’t think that the housing market has been parasitised- nay, colonized– by the Lizard People creating massive amounts of money with the stroke of a key and gifting it to their increasingly unproductive minions in the public service, education and NDIS, then wake up and smell the almond latte.)
We don’t need Another Man In A Blue Tie for the portfolio, not matter what side of the uniparty he’s from, no matter how much “industry nous” he proclaims.
We need to get the Fed out of housing, and stop the flood of endless immigration.
We actually need an outsider with no nous at all, like a Milei or Trump or Farage, to get the Lizard People the hell out of housing, and energy, and wealth creation, and every other aspect of our lives where they’re slipping in their tentacles.
We had a very good consultancy in Perth, paid a stupid amount for doing what others couldn’t and sometimes wouldn’t. Dealt directly with Multinationals and three levels of government. Then the big four accountancy firms got in on the act charging heaps more, then government wouldn’t deal with small business. When the bush fires went through Canberra the premium was 40% on top of what it cost and the small subbies in Canberra still did the work.
My wish list was simply for someone competent in providing housing to head up the department. And that would mean someone who had a working knowledge of the building industry.
It’s a big ask, even for a lass with a Fulbright Scholarship. 😀
