China is our adversary, and pretending this risk doesn’t exist is sticking one’s head in the sand. They can never be trusted as they believe South Asia and the Pacific is their zone of interest and everyone should obey the CCP or else.
Wrong? The only one who’s wrong is you because you have this everlasting belief that Putin and Russia have a right to attack other sovereign nations and anyone aligned to Russia must be on the good side.
The entire region is wary of China, which you’re mischaracterizing. And when has appeasement ever worked?
Of course, it’s America’s fault. How Leftwing 1960s. That’s 50 years past expiry date.
Wrong. The Philippines is firmly aligned with the US.

Memories can play strange tricks on you.
I haven’t been to the movies since drive ins.
No TV in the house for don’t know how long.
Anyway to cut it short, I had to sneeze and it reminded me of a scene in a long forgotten movie starring Clark Gable and Gene Tierney, where he was disguised as Russian military doctor in a theater and called to help a general who had trouble seeing or something and he made him sneeze or hold his nose and blow, not quite clear now.
Why would that be, psychologists?
Yes, the movie was “Never Let Me Go”
Had to search for the title.
For the cat ladies.
What is something that almost nobody knows about nuclear submarines?
Where they are.
About the two way communication, I’m not too sure, the sub can receive/send and all it has to do is acknowledge with a beep a while later, no need to have a long dinner talk.
Ultra long and ELF frequency radio waves can be detected under water, and this is one means of communication with subs. I would be surprised if there weren’t other systems we don’t know about.
—————————
Generally, there’s no two-way communication with a nuclear submarine on patrol, so the Commanding Officers are expected to be independent within the broad parameters of their mission orders. No micro-management from the Admiralty is possible.
On patrol, the boat is expected to go to a certain area and, well, patrol. A nuclear missile-equipped submarine — an SSBN, or ‘boomer’ in US Navy parlance — is supposed to stay within launch distance of its assigned targets — that’s 12,000 km for a Trident missile-equipped boat — and otherwise stay away from any surface or submarine contacts.
A nuclear attack submarine (SSN) on patrol will be trying not to be detected, generally, but also be expected to track, identify, and possibly follow any interesting contacts, with ‘interesting’ being up to the skipper, based on any intelligence briefings he’s had before the patrol. If the passive sonar picks up what sounds like an adversary submarine not in the database, for example, the skipper will be expected to follow it long enough to record its signature so that Naval Intelligence can add it to the database. If it is identified, it may be followed just build up an idea of what that particular submarine gets up to on its patrols or special missions.
An SSN will be given special missions occasionally, like going to a certain point, go to periscope depth, put up the electronic intelligence masts, and see what they can pick up. Or go to within a few miles of another point, and listen for and record expected underwater salvage activity. Or proceed to such-and-such an area to take part in naval exercises with a friendly nation where they will be expected to find and track the friendly fleet, avoid detection, and come to periscope depth occasionally to take pictures of the flagship (or any other ship) to prove that they could have sunk it if it was a shooting war.
So, in general, nuclear submarines’ positions are unknown. On patrol they might be (made-up examples) “in the North Atlantic, east of the GIUK line” or “west Pacific, at least 3000 km from the Chinese coast, and within 12,000 km of the Yumen missile silos” and no-one on Earth except the CO and navigation officers and technicians knowing any more than that. Even on missions with strict parameters, no-one but the crew should know the exact location of the submarine at any particular time. If the crew have done their jobs properly.

https://search.brave.com/search?q=Australian+made+IV+fluids&source=desktop&summary=1&summary_og=5f3e70599f662e7fde2156Australian made iv fluidsBased on the search results, there are a few Australian companies that manufacture IV fluids:
It’s worth noting that the current shortage of IV fluids in Australia is primarily affecting saline and compound sodium lactate (Hartmann’s solution), which are manufactured by overseas companies. The Australian government has approved multiple overseas-registered alternative saline brands to address the shortage, but these may not be manufactured in Australia.
Key Points:
No, it’s a refusal to stump up funds to maintain adequate stocks of supplies. Our systems have, for years, had all the fat cut out of them to feed the voracious appetite of the bureaucracy.
It’s as simple as that – the growth of government and its parasitic arms are now threatening the health of the people.
And notice that the steps taken will not add one bag of Normal Saline/Hartmanns to the system it just adds to the demand on the OS suppliers.

Thank you to Bob the Boozer re info on Aussie companies producing IV supplies. Good grief, this company is going down the gurgler if he is right that the government is simply not prepared to cough up the money for adequate supplies. Yet an ever growing fat bureaucracy starves government coffers,

That article is about the best explanation I’ve read so far for what’s happening.
One thing is obvious, they called for a debate because they knew it would sink him (Biden).
The UK appears to be the wokiest place on earth.
The UK is fast sinking into sinister totalitarianism. It’s been on this trajectory for years now, aided and abetted by do nothing, supine, cowardly and quisling conservative governments. Der Sturmer da Fuhrer and his jolly Marxist and Islamist comrades are simply arranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.
There’s also been an increase in demand for IV fluids.
The reason why would be good to know.
Re the escapades of Elon:
The Australian Spectator had some interesting articles on him recently.
Personally, I think he is a much needed warrior against the increasing attacks on free speech by – of all entities – contemporary democracies in the ‘free world’. I am not interested in his motivation, I am just grateful that someone with his reach is an ally in this struggle.
BTW the vaccine war has also inspired Robert Malone to write a book on the attacks on free speech.. He has also become an impassioned defender of our most precious asset. I will post his latest discussion of the threats of the big international organisations of our way of life in the West.

The Trump campaign had their emails hacked by Iran and sent to the media, lol. Wheels on fire, rolling down the road.
I see from Bruce’s link that Farage has plummeted in netsat, particularly with Tory voters with his rating dropping from -10 to -27. He is even in the negatives now with Leave voters.
Seems like that “two-tier policing” line is falling flat. Turns out British people don’t like fascists.
From bons’ link on Raygun*.
They’re everywhere, like a disease. He sums it up well.
*why, oh why do I immediately think of King Lear? And how aided and abetted she was by Cornwall? Yes, there is a surfeit of stupid, overconfident Karens. And there is also a bevy of opportunistic, cruel enablers hiding in the wings.
We don’t need any more communication, gender study, interpretive dance, political study and so on graduates. How about trade apprentices are paid the same way HECS fees are. The employer doesn’t pay. That way the apprentice once qualified or drops out pays the money back at the same rate. At the very least the country gets something out of it thats useful. No more importing labour or bum wipers, we already have enough. Why do we hear about people that are working, paying tax, supporting their families getting turfed out yet keep the scum of the planet for free?
So, let’s get this right, our resident Nazi thinks it’s funny that the Jew hating totalitarian theocratic state of Iran, the same Iran that weekly executes homosexuals and pesky women who take off their chadors, hacks into a presidential candidate’s emails.
Our Nazi stands with the mad mullahs. I think it is pretty obvious that our Nazi has no moral compass but Nazis never do, never have and never will.
Roger and I were talking about Australia’s potential enemies since WW2. I was suggesting that Australia was capable of defending its approaches from potential peer enemies; that didn’t include USSR or China.
Not sure how Russia is relevant here but still, anyone waving their poms poms for the US shouldn’t be speaking about sovereignty.
Sure sure.
I’m not blaming anyone. I’m arguing that the Phillipines doesn’t want to be dragged into a regional war because the US wants to contain China.
These Russians, are they in the room with us right now?
Our Nazi stands with Iran.
No wonder he’s always been silent about October 7. He stands with Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran.

I’ve been trying to work out why the hoi polloi of Europe have been accepting of the Muslim invasion.
Here’s my latest thinkings:
They believe Islam is the way of the future and that under Islam, they will keep their status and wealth. While they don’t believe in anything about Islam itself, they see the current structures in the ME and believe they can remain on top with a religion they only have to pay lip service to.
In their own compounds they will have the right to do as they wish, but keep a pious face on in public.
The alcohol will remain in their private bars, the bacon will remain in the fridge, and their women will remain in their kitchens and bedrooms. And like most of the ME the men at the bottom of the rung will be sent off on useless wars to keep their numbers down and provide a useful pool of women who will never get married unless they accept 4th wife status.
The ugly and stupid ones will have to put up with the dregs of the man market.
Impose this with a feudal culture, and it looks like something from the barbaric past.
I wonder what their wives and daughters think of their future?
I thought the alien who ran space chook was now a Trump supporter; apparently his minions have not got the message:

Dawkins clarified he had not posted about Khelif on Facebook but only on X, formerly known as Twitter. Despite this, Facebook appears to have removed his account. On July 29, Dawkins tweeted criticism over genetically male athletes competing in women’s events.

Mine closure ’21st century colonialism’: McKenzie
James Dowling
Nationals Senator Bridget McKenzie has called the closure and protected status of the Jabiluka uranium mine a “classic case of twenty-first century colonialism”.
At the NSW Labor Conference in July, Anthony Albanese announced Jabiluka, the world’s biggest untapped uranium source, will be closed off and made part of Kakadu National Park. Mining had been opposed for decades by traditional owners due to the cultural significance of the area.
“We want to see economic empowerment, particularly for marginalised Indigenous Australians and that means all options on the table to actually grow well-paying jobs in the Northern Territory,” Senator McKenzie said on Sky News.
“The government is now wanting to shut those opportunities down.
“It should be a bright future for Jabiluka and the Territory’s uranium deposits, instead once again Albo is picking ideology over practical solutions.”
Senator McKenzie said the Albanese government was also moving towards a blanket ban on livestock farming.
“No matter where you look, we’re seeing agriculture under attack,” she said. “The endgame, I think, really is the end of livestock production more generally in this country.”
Good luck with a ban on livestock farming – that will have the peasants rioting in the streets..
Apparently Breakdancing is a one-off as an Olympic “event” for 2024 only.
As Harry Richardson says….
As you might be aware by now, Australia sent an overweight, overconfident, uncoordinated Millennial female to represent the nation in Paris.
It was bad. Really bad.
Rachael ‘Raygun’ Gunn is not a loveable Aussie underdog. She’s the exact opposite. The 36-year-old thinks she’s amazing, and she’s been able to live in that delusion until yesterday when the whole world saw the reality at the same time.
Rachael has done the world a favour by ensuring that this “sport” will never be part of the Olympics again.
I’m still chortling at the attempt to do a Garrett.
Outstanding WIP.
There are some crackers in the comments section of TWiP!
Edit: Sorry. Didn’t notice cohenite’s comment before I posted.
To be fair to this Raygun person, she may well be the best female…um…breaker* in Australia. No obvious reason why whoever makes these decisions wouldn’t choose the best. Perhaps there isn’t a lot of competition out there.
And perhaps, because I know bugger all about breaking, scoring zero points across all of your performances isn’t as laughably humiliating as it sounds. Maybe scoring a point is particularly difficult, but once you meet that high threshold, you can then score many. Hence her opponents collectively scoring 54 to her 0. I don’t know, and I don’t care enough to find out, in all honesty.
Although the ABC is going into bat for her, and that is usually a good indication of someone being worthy of ridicule.
*Is that the right word? So stupid. Why can’t they just be called break dancers? I suppose that might prompt the question as to why break dancing is an Olympic sport. Although ‘breaker’ sounds like a position a scrapyard owner would advertise. Alternatively, my 2 year old nephew is a world class breaker. Breaks all kinds of things, he does.
I got sent an article from a Kiwi paper about their electickery market.
As many here will know, husband has been having an ongoing battle with our electricity provider over a sudden and unexplained increase in our electricity bill at our farm where we have a 10kw solar system. Since the dispute involves not simply the increased cost of energy, but the figures for consumption claimed, he has been obsessively examining the very precise figures he has been able to access through their App. He is convinced they are in error and the provider has agreed to send a technician to check the meter.
Meanwhile we accessed a fascinating technical paper on the internet from a Kiwi technician who explained how the smart meters could be manipulated by the companies. We now don’t believe that an examination of the meter itself will uncover anything favourable to us! I now understand the material I read about the problems the installation of smart meters brought in the UK.
I am becoming deeply concerned about the ability of the average citizen to maintain an equitable position in the midst of both government and commercial practices in the modern world.

She is a lecturer at Macquarie University with a PhD in cultural studies.

Lol
It is sounding more and more insufferable.
Being awarded zero points for doing an emu impression. I guess that is making a mark of sorts.
Is it, though? Is it really athletic? I mean, Raygun isn’t obese but she doesn’t have the figure of an athlete. And the US competitor who Raygun was squaring off against had a flabby midriff exposed. Again, not exactly athletic. Professional ballroom dancers are in much better shape.
Do you get to choose what you wear as an Olympic competitor? Anyhoo, I suspect it wasn’t her outfit they were mocking.
Mmm nah I think they haven’t given it a second thought, for the same reason as to why they wouldn’t give a suggestion that thumb wrestling be included as an event a second thought. And if countries are putting up 36yos and fatties as their champions, I’d say they made the right call.
Also. She had a chance to “show it” and scored zero. She may not be the best advocate to spruik the excellence of the competitors of this event.
That could be written today, about almost any DFAT staff.

I was listening to VDH earlier about where the Trump campaign could go now to win in November.
He reckons they should go absolutely ruthless, as Lee Atwater did for Bush snr. Atwater took over the campaign in the final stages of the 1988 election. I recall the 1988 campaign very clearly. VDH reminded us how Snr was around 17 points behind Dukakis and ended up winning by 8 points, all done within 90 days of the election. Atwater painted Dukakis as an out-of-field dangerous leftwinger, and ads came out about the famous Willie Horton incident. Horton was a black criminal who was let out of jail early and straightaway murdered someone. It was big news then.
I don’t know; perhaps it’s just my perception. Trump appears to me to have slowed down since the assassination attempt and has lost his verve.
I was just randomly reading stuff across the interwebs and came across a page where a historian decided to do one of those “Great Opening Lines” lists but of ancient historical texts instead of just English texts of the last few centuries.

Elon Musk Buys The United Kingdom To Establish Free Speech There
Last nite, for wont of anything better to watch, we settled on Netflix’s TV movie of Jane Austen’s ‘Persuasion’. We didn’t make it all the way through. Incredulous at first at how the story was presented, with the heroine turned into an all-knowing you-to-girl, totally counter to the book’s intent, we winced in pain at this destruction of Austen’s perceptions. To say nothing of the casting of about 50/50 black vs indigenous Britishers, which was also a major draw-back. All was turned into a Brigerton Rom-Com with today’s Rom-Com dialects also translating Austen’s crisp assessements.
Aha, says Hairy, sitting at the dining table over his tablet gadget, idley only glancing at it while sharing this movie with me across our open plan rooms, where I sit properly on a sofa taking it all in. Here’s the review, he announces. I thought I’d seen it, he says. Deborah Ross in The Spectator. Headlined ‘Everyone involved in this production should be in prison’. Yep. So we went click on it towards the end. Just couldn’t stand it any longer.

Went to K-mart with the eldest. I hate K-mart- the piles of clothes slipped of the rack, the cheap plastic everything, the low energy Karen staff, the battery hen check-out, the dill with the scanner at the door checking that you’re not shoplifting $3 worth of tat, the gay rainbow everything- but youngster was printing photos, needed a cash card, etc, so in we go, me having a minor amount of fun impersonating a bitter and confused old man-
Got done, got to the exit where said authority-lite adolescent is tazering receipts without eye contact, all the cattle club members filing through for compliance-
Three kids just stand in single file, a yard in between, receipts in one hand and goods in the other, palm outwards at shoulder height, staring straight ahead. Young staffer was filthy, blushing, I assume the pisstaking shoppers were his classmates, riffing with hilarious “K-mart Club Member 6079, Smith, W!” and “No Fruit! Two Weeks!” while staring at the exits, a brilliant mash-up of Ivan Denisovich and malicious compliance.
Made my day, restored my faith that the kids are alright and paying attention too.

I don’t know; perhaps it’s just my perception. Trump appears to me to have slowed down since the assassination attempt and has lost his verve.
Trump’s recent 1 hour long news conference, taking dozens of questions from the scumbags, was as good as you’ll get.

Nothing to do with me. I’ve been responding to your “what’s wrong” comment.
Russia is relevant because you appear to have the hots for anyone aligned with the Klepto.
Your basically nit picking. All international relationships have issues here and there that doesn’t impact the substance nor the reasons for the alliance. As a matter of fact, a new US base has been approved by the Philippine government.
You’ve really thrown out the kid with the dirty water. There’s a lot to criticize the US for, but to openly side with the Klepto, the CCP, Iran and recently North Korea.. that’s like sinking into the Mariana Trench with lead weights. Please snap out of it and write more things like the Oakeshott opinions you once posted. They were really good.

University of Tasmania lecturer Adel Yousif outrages Jewish community over ‘Hamas is legitimate’ claimMatthew Denholm

A senior university lecturer has repeatedly described Hamas as a “legitimate resistance movement” and denied Israel’s right to exist “in its current form”, sparking complaints from the Jewish community.
University of Tasmania food scientist Adel Yousif, who has Palestinian heritage, has been a guest speaker at multiple pro-Palestinian events in recent months, expressing views described by some as “Hamas propaganda”.
Complaints to UTAS have so far met with a defence of Dr Yousif, on free speech grounds, while he told The Australian he was “not a Hamas supporter“ and opposed only the “current Israeli model of incessant violent colonisation”.
Concerns within the Jewish community focus in part on information authored by Dr Yousif and shown on a projector screen at an “Educators for Peace” event in Hobart on June 26.
It lists “misconceptions”, including that “Israel has a right to exist”. “It does not have the right to exist in its current form of bigotry, racism and apartheid,” Dr Yousif’s projection says.
Another “misconception”, it states, is that Hamas is a terrorist organisation. “Every colonisation project in history has a legitimate resistance movement,” says the projection, which appeared to have been removed from Facebook after inquiries by The Australian.
The Executive Council of Australian Jewry condemned the material. “Hamas (is) a designated terrorist organisation which has butchered, raped, mutilated and kidnapped civilians in Israel,” said Peter Wertheim, the executive council’s co-chief executive.
“It is bad enough that this sort of Orwellian propaganda is being disseminated to teachers … it is truly horrifying to think that this is all in preparation for teachers to indoctrinate their students with the same hateful lies, and with the imprimatur of a university.”

Of course, upon Raygun’s return, questions will be asked.
And it won’t be “How did someone who was so obviously shithouse at what she did get a gig in Paris?”
No, no.
Perish the thought.
It will be, “Where is the government funding so that shithouse performers in fringe activities can reach the level of mediocre and get more free taxpayer funded gigs?“
Our systems have, for years, had all the fat cut out of them to feed the voracious appetite of the bureaucracy.
It’s as simple as that – the growth of government and its parasitic arms are now threatening the health of the people.
I am not sure about that:
*Who decides exactly what is stored – Bureaucrats.
*Who decides the level of each items storage – Bureaucrats.
*Who decides where it is stored – Bureaucrats.
*Who decides who owns the storage facilities – Bureaucrats.
*Who decides the manning levels of each facility – Bureaucrats.
*Who decides the rules about restocking and checking such premises – Bureaucrats.
*Who decides what rules, industrial rates awards etc this comes under – Bureaucrats.
The bureaucracy would love to store stuff, what a boondoggle that would be!
The problem, as it is, comes from the JIT (Just In Time) principles of modern manufacturing and production. It can only deal with known forecasts of needs though. If someone decides, without warning, to start storing stuff and buying it in great quantities and the manufacturers are unaware of that, sudden shortages are the result.
Question – Why don’t we make more here? Our governents all believe in competitive tendering for goods, lowest price that meets the requirements wins. That lets in all the overseas suppliers. If we had protectionism, again, the local prices would go ballistic, like they did before tarifs were removed.
BTW – Bureaurocrats are not judged or measured on buying something local to help local industry or the tax payers, they are measured on meeting the requirement at the lowest cost and on time deliveries.
We are our own worst enemies, and usually get what we deserve .. sadly.
He keeps teasing about this more to come on the creep side.

If October 7th wasn’t an atrocity committed by a terrorist organisisation, I’d like the good professor’s definition what just what a terrorist organisation is.
Dr. Raygun – for Doctor she is (doctor of breakdancing, fhs) a lecturer of Breakdancing – with her memorable Olympic performance, is a textbook example of academia getting involved in industry.
A senior university lecturer has repeatedly described Hamas as a “legitimate resistance movement” and denied Israel’s right to exist “in its current form”, sparking complaints from the Jewish community.
Which means this ‘university professor’ regards rape and murder as legitimate, and when he says Israel has no right to exist in it’s current form, he means Israel has no right to exist at all, meaning the genocide of all Jews living between the Dead Sea and the Mediterranean.
Hmm, sounds very Nazi to me.
Oh and memo to our resident Nazi, since you’ve spent years here smearing those you don’t ‘ like as “fascists’ and ‘Nazis’, perhaps you could condemn the above words?
Oh sorry, in order to condemn those words, you would first need to disagree with those words, and that you don’t…..do you?
It is amazing how threatened you lot are by the sight of a woman with confidence.
I tell you the women I respect, it’s those confident Iranian women who discard their muzzle aka chador in public, bearing their magnificent hair so they can feel the wind blow through it, and by doing so these women incur the wrath of those same medieval mullahs you support. The punishment metered out to such confident women for their crime of feeling the wind blow through their hair? Imprisonment, whipping and in some circumstances…….execution.
Nazi, don’t you dare ever lecture us about ‘confident women’. I will never forget your chortles of laughter when confident women were bashed and nearly lynched in an Auckland Park. You are a hypocrite
I’ve just returned from shopping with my elderly and very frail mother at Bondi Junction. We went to Spotlight, a store we both love. Mum’s physique is shrinking by the day, and so I lost her in the store I couldn’t find her and I panicked, eventually finding her surrounded by Manchester.
I have some wonderful news, after months of anxiety and sadness, my nephew and his wife are expecting a baby. So at Spotlight I bought some wool, I’m going to knit a baby blanket!
You picked up a comment I made to Roger via Vicki. That was the context in which ‘peer enemy’ was used.
This, again, is your fantasy, not mine.
It’s hardly nitpicking. The Philippines, just as we are, is being forced to choose between the US and China, when it would prefer friendly relations with both. And it’s being made to do that because the former needs to maintain and/or augment those forward bases to contain China and would be punished if it didn’t.
Hardly, I just have come to the conclusion that there will be no possibility of change in the US without a major external shock.

From Courier Mail. Multiple arrests is 4 and “large” is 40.

Thanks for the pointer to CL’s article- he doesn’t like the Murdochs and nor do I.
DiL off to present a paper at international conference that shows others summations of cause and effect are the complete opposite of what they’ve been saying for years. She’d been doing the study for her Phd when covid came along and couldn’t continue with it. Now she’s had it published and is going to cause ructions in the field. The best thing is her Professor’s thought what she was doing was of not much value so never claimed input of which was zero anyway. Just think, she could have been doing something like breakdancing really badly instead.
Just returned fron jogging (if I can call it that), the City2surf.
Last year there were lots of ‘Yes’ Voice activists waving thir placards from bridges over the course. This year the first bridge had a bunch of Hamas activists waving Pali flags wearing t-shirts spelling out Free Palestine.
I was a little surprised how many runners/walkers were waving, putting their hands up in support. As I passed under the bridge I caught the eye of a flag waver and rather uncouthly for a gentleman such as myself, flipped him an enormous and cranky bird.
Later on there were quite a few groups waving Israeli flags with lots of posters of missing loved ones asking “Bring them home”. Very happy to give them a smile and thumbs up as I wobbled slowly past.
That GB news article posted bought up a good point on Starmer’s crackdown.
These courts are supercharged to push people through at an accelerated rate. To the point that due legal process such as consulting with lawyers isn’t feasible. How many of these sentences that go to appeal are going to be slapped down as excessive or denial of natural justice?

Spent a few days last week on the west coast of Sweden. Seaside towns were teeming with Swedish tourists enjoying the sunny summer weather, jam-packed marinas everywhere. Then came the wind and rain with temperatures of Australian winter.
Swedish people are very lovely but so uptight about separating their rubbish into more and more categories, down to recycling bins for different colour glass bottles and jars.
Lots of Teslas on the road and even saw a charging station with over a dozen chargers with half of them in use.
I saw just one Palestinian flag and that was in the front yard of a house in deep rural west coast.
By the way, electricity is cheap in Sweden and my relatives were horrified when I told them how much I pay for it in Australia.
John Pike’s book “Vietnam and the Cold War 1945 – 1954” contains the account of the German legionnaire, who shot his commanding officer, and deserted to the Viet Minh, to avoid the predatory attentions of said (homosexual) commanding officer..
I’ve just read the total tongue-bath Nikki Gemmell gave to Kamala Harris in the Weekend Australian magazine. It’s all about the vibe and how great it is, all for women and girls, Harris a ‘lightening rod for all that female rage’, Kamala ‘telling it straight with a twinkle in her eye’. JD Vance, pfft, an ‘easy target’, a ‘woman-hater’. Not a word about any policies and real reasons to vote for this piece of female fluff puppetry in Obama’s pocket.
Makes me wish women had never been given the vote. By Gemmell’s intellectual lights, we don’t deserve it. Guess I’m glad that some women are definitely made of sterner stuff and not so easly led. Too few of us though.

You will be refused bail even if you only watched riots from the sidelines, judge warns
A judge has warned that anybody present at a riot will be remanded in custody, even if they were only a “curious observer”.
District Judge Francis Rafferty said that someone’s presence at a riot made them involved in the riot as he refused two bail applications.
The judge spoke as four men appeared in Belfast magistrates’ court charged in relation to disorder in the city.
Refusing bail, the judge said: “Anybody involving themselves in this type of behaviour, this type of disorder, as an active participant or a curious observer can expect to be, save for the most exceptional circumstances, remanded into custody, and this defendant is remanded into custody.”

Plead guilty and you could be out in two years.
Fight us and you’ll be denied bail, placed on Remand with a court date sometime in 2026 and you’ll serve every day of your sentence with no chance of parole.
I remember Nikki Gemmell when she was on JJJ reading the news. She would banter with the DJs after the read and she thought she was absolutely hilarious. I mean, I guess it was good she laughed at her own jokes because at least that meant someone did.
No surprise she’s become a garden variety hack.
Just more proof that the meja is part of the problem and has been for decades.
The Murdochs and the other dinosaur outlets don’t like Musk- shows there is a lot to like about him. I’ll forgive him for his cars.

It was all related anyway.
It’s mind-reading, Dover. Recall, you were very much in support of mind reading when I was critical of anyone doing it, so I’m just following your lead here.
Friendly relations between the Philippines and China? Sure thing, as long as the Philippines accedes to all claims to the South China Sea. When that happens, the CCP would love to have great relations. Until then, it will keep trying to take islands and areas that belong to its neighbors.
LOl, made to whom? The bad old US? You’re dreaming. If the Philippines wanted to close down relations with the US, it could do so tomorrow. However, however the US is in middle of constructing another base, so the relationship is as bad as you trying to make out. Furthermore, there would be need, if the CCP wasn’t trying to take over a waterway that doesn’t belong to China.
Sure, but you don’t hope for any external shocks for those arseholes you support, right?
Have you ever considered what a world dominated by Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea would be like? You really want to live in that world, or pretending to, but hoping in it never happens, because I tell you, it won’t be fun.

I have been to a few breakdancing competitions. Most are run by the Phillipinos here in Oz.. Fantastic. Quick, rhythmic, innovative. Plenty of girls. Competition is fierce, artistic and in good spirit. Raygun is a complete disgrace. Pathetic display of academic, DEI, fat. entitlement. Her kangaroo bit was called bunny hopping by some. Ha.
Good news for Craig McLachlan. He is returning to acting. Has signed on for a film. Great to hear. He was almost destroyed by the “Me Too”,crap.
Yep, agree 100%. McLachlan lost everything, not just his career but tonnes of money. He was ruined financially. And remember, he faced criminal charges, an actual trial, where he was found not guilty. I suspect he’d be the first to take his hat off to his partner, Vanessa Scammell, who’s one strong and classy woman, unlike the nasty mediocrities who accused him.
I saw it but am still shaking my head, words can’t describe the acute level of cringe involved in that spectacle.

A lot if discussion on twitter about the cringeworthy Australian ‘break dancer’.
She’s a 36 year old gender studies type Sydney based university lecturer who seems to have had an agenda.
And exactly the demographic that shouts break Dancer.
I’m not sure the dumbocrats have thought this whole waltz thing out properly. Given he’s a bland fat white middle aged collectivist mediocrity and massive fatal coronary waiting to happen, it’s inevitable that all he’ll simply do is make the cackling kamel look like even more of a sideshow alley freak than she already is.
As for the raygun, if she didn’t exist, satirists would have had to invent her. Evidently, she should be grateful she wasn’t awarded a negative score.
Also many many accounts pointing out that a male Muslim would never touch an unrelated female Muslim, let alone hoist them up for a shoulder ride.
I remember rare occasions when Tharunka was entertaining one being an article where ‘cold toast eaters’ were defended a Macquarie Uni don. I once read a Macquarie Uni Handbook (before the internet had taken off) and it was like a spoof- ‘gender and power’ sort of shite. A poisonous sapphic coven if ever there was one. The worst.

I think you’re confusing mind reading with Tourettes.
Where have I argued they want to close down relations? Still, the idea that the US would just give up those bases without penalising the Phillipines, same is true of Korea or Japan, is pure fantasy. Do you see them giving up their bases in Iraq even though the Parliament has told them to leave? Do you see them leaving Syria even though they were never invited? No, and, no. They are not going to just up and leave areas that enable them to project their power globally without resistance.
.
None of those countries dominates politics as the US does for the West so there would be no reason to.
I know, we might even be imprisoned for retweeting.
Roger and I were talking about Australia’s potential enemies since WW2. I was suggesting that Australia was capable of defending its approaches from potential peer enemies
Not that Australia was capable of defending its own shores in WWII.
This was a nation that did not have a single Spitfire or Hurricane flying in its defence when the Japanese arrived.
This was a nation that saw clearly marked enemy aircraft overfly its major cities of Sydney and Melbourne to survey the target area – and did not fire a shot in response.
This was a nation that saw ships sunk off its shores by the score by enemy submarines, and sank a meagre four in response.

At the risk of getting carted off by two-tier Keir: only loser surfers, skateboarders and probably break dancers would be seen dead at the Olympics. Skaters and (proper) surfers despise the commercialisation of both sports. The Torquay surfer robber barons have a lot to answer for. Hope I haven’t committed a crime Keir. But how would you know?
You would imagine, given the U.K. government resources likely being devoted to tracking Mr. Tommy Robinson (phone & email interception, ‘strangers’ approaching him trying to provoke a certain response (which will be recorded), and confidants leaned on heavily), that if the bloke was as evil as claimed, there’d be selective grubbermint leaks and a solid legal case built by now.
