Bring on the J Curve.
Worst performance since 1991 was a nice tribute to Keating.
Mind you, the RBA did miss the fact that the real economy – wages, spending and business investment considered apart from the artificial stimuli of government spending and immigration, that is – has been in recession for three months.
Just a few weeks ago it was “running hot” according to them.
To borrow from “51 intelligence experts”, this whole Tenet, Tim Pool, Dave Rubin saga bears all the hallmarks of a classic Russian disinformation operation.
You expect they will sit this one out. “Fool me once …”
Senator Rennick in that clip questions why if two doses of vaccine was supposed to work why would we need 12 per person.
Kelly the CHO naturally avoids explaining or admitting the two jabs did not work.
That clip is just one of many that shows the Federal Health Department should be renamed the Department of Misinformation as so much of what they said was BS. One of Rennicks other clips showed him saying the Vax spike protein moved all around the body whereas TGA had previously said would stay in the arm.
The other problem is the Coalition and more recently Labour Ministers have accepted all the BS without question. They will defend them no matter what the evidence.
It is actually scary that our health depends on these people.
Oh, might as well mention that previous head of TGA John Skerritt now works for Medicines Australia the main lobbying group for big pharma. Sponsored by the major Vax companies.
To be fair no one in either the Coalition nor the Labor Party has enough scientific understanding to write onto a Maccas napkin.
So they have to accept the advice of the totally captured medical industrial complex. Which donates entirely to the Left.
Rennick, Roberts and Antic being notable exceptions but written off as anti vaxxers.
Combine with a media that failed miserably and you can see will will keep charging down the jab jab jab road.
Too many people have no interest in anybody finding anything about the whole Covid episode. I’m with the 4Chan boys on this one.
Yep, that used to be one of my lines when speaking at rallies – ‘If 2 shots work, why would I need a 3rd?, If 2 shots don’t work, why would I get a 3rd?’

BoN – And Russia is bleeding out. Sadly Putin isn’t a statesman or he’d cut his losses and get out of the morass.
Monty level trolling.
Truth. Stop watching Russian TV.
I look at a lot of things, like the expanding cemeteries in Russia. I see the footage of the combat losses that both sides have been suffering. I see the maps of progress: not much (although ironically Ukraine has gotten about twice what Russia has been capturing lately).
The harm that Mr Putin is doing to the country of your family will not be repaired in a century. All for ego. A complete and miserable waste of blood and lives. I am sad for Russia.
Lmao
Presumably you don’t personally know any of the hundreds of thousands of young Russian men who have been killed or maimed.
Neither do you.
I have Russian friends who got out in 2022.
(I think perhaps I should add some more. She was placed with us a few times. Australia is a long way from Moscow! All the Russian students we had work with us were excellent. But she was quintessentially Russian: we offered her an all expenses paid PhD in Oz but she just wanted to go home to her guy and back to Russia.
In 2022 she contacted me for a reference which I provided. I haven’t heard where they’ve ended up since, but they’re bright and very competent people, so will do well wherever they’ve ended up.)

Interesting interview with Eric and Lara Trump on Sky. It was soft, basically a character reference, but still a few snippets of new info.
Trump had no rally scheduled for the day after the assassination attempt, but decided to go anyway.
Also, he was the one to go to Arlington on the anniversary of the deaths of those US soldiers in Kabul. Joementia and Cackles didn’t bother.

And Russia is bleeding out. Sadly Putin isn’t a statesman or he’d cut his losses and get out of the morass.
I remember how, just a short time ago, in fact it was only 2021, when a ‘statesman’ called Joe Biden cut his losses and withdrew from the morass that is Afghanistan. How did that go?

I really don’t know what to think. I also don’t know why I watched (some of) that.
I think I’ve been steveteed.
While we may enjoy indulging in a bit of Schadenfreude at Labor’s electoral misfortune, the Greens’ ability to win urban seats does not portend well for the country given our developing economic malaise.
Keep an eye on metropolitan Brisbane in the next federal election.
Off and on have spent a bit of time in Darwin. Greens winning up there is something I thought I wouldn’t see in my lifetime.
Brisbane on the other hand has been flooded with southerners since the 1990’s and they have regrettably bought their disease with them…
The rot started with public servants sacked by Kennett.
Prior to that we’d only had retirees attracted by low state taxes.
I’m of the school things have to get worse to get better. Like others I never thought I would see Greens in the NT. Or live where I would have a Liar member. The end of days – or somewhere close.
At the end of the second flagon of McWilliams Royal Reserve, I sometimes think it might be better for a quick trip to ‘worse’, via the learning experience of Greens in government.
…. and
I am a little late with my report from my 15 year old grandson at Father’s Day lunch.
He tells me that most of his cohort are very keen to enrol to vote when they turn 18.
He tells me a reasonable number of them recognise that the curriculum is imposed on the school and that it emphasises aboriginity, climate change and multiculturism. And despite the attempts to indoctrinate them, a fair number of his friends can see through those attempts, and they can see most things as they really are.
And they mostly want to vote for a government that is prepared to reward effort, tax lightly, reestablish law and order and limit immigration.
It was the best Father’s Day present I think I have ever received.
Trick is, to get a good reading list into them while they have time and interst to learn. Good Luck !

The Australian’s Washington Correspondent Adam Creighton discusses the “embarrassing” photo that shows Tim Walz’s family wearing shirts reading ‘Walz’s for Trump’.
Family members of vice-presidential nominee Tim Walz have declared they’re throwing their support behind former US president Donald Trump, including Mr Walz’s older brother.
“Certainly, that is very embarrassing,” Mr Creighton said.

Here is an interesting contrast between sane government and a socialist sewer. Note the incredulity of the media.
Why does this happen: malice or stupidity?
A mixture.
Past the age of around 40, only the stupid are still socialists. Unfortunately far too many of those are also malicious, probably because of anger at those who reject their stupid political beliefs.

It’s noteworthy wrt this case that the nefarious players had to deceive the conservative channels to the upmost in order to channel money their way.
As opposed to, say, The Young Turks who are an overtly anti west, socialist, anti semitic outfit run by a bombastic slob of a human who had to be dragged kicking and screaming into acknowledging the Armenian Genocide and who in the past have taken large amounts of money from Qatar. (You know, the same country harbouring the hamas leadership.)
Oh and they still maintain a partnership with AJ+, the social media arm of the anti west Al Jazeera.

I checked some of the other references – Quora attacks the publication. But very noticeably, doesn’t attack the study.
Good enough for me. Quora itself is a mere opinion site that commonly gets facts wrong while presenting itself as an authority on just about any subject.

Explosive letter buries Tanya Plibersek’s reasons for blocking $1bn Blayney goldminePaige Taylor
2 hours ago

Claims of ancient camp ovens, possible burial sites and an initiation area near a proposed $1bn NSW goldmine were examined and dismissed as having “no authenticity” in a cultural audit overseen by the Indigenous elders representing the local land council, according to senior Wiradjuri adviser Roy Ah-See.
An explosive letter provides the first detailed account of what is believed to have swayed Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek to make a rare Section 10 declaration against the Blayney goldmine in central-west NSW in a last-minute intervention on cultural heritage grounds last month.
She controversially took the advice of a small charity over the Orange land council that holds land on behalf of local Wiradjuri people and has cultural authority for the area under NSW law.
In the letter to Ms Plibersek, obtained by The Weekend Australian, Mr Ah-See conveys the Orange Local Aboriginal Land Council’s anger that the expertise of its elders was dismissed in favour of “baseless claims” of the dissident group and calls for an urgent review of the Section 10 evidence.
“You have made baseless claims now the accepted truth,” Mr Ah-See tells Ms Plibersek.
“You and your advisors (sic) do not have the skills to make these determinations. Surely Aboriginal culture and heritage decisions should be under the guidance of the Aboriginal Affairs Minister.
“OLALC are respectfully requesting a review of the Section 10 evidence, through proper consultation … OLALC have a voice and they are using it, they just want to know if you are listening.”
Mr Ah-See’s letter says the initial Section 10 application against the mine contained claims of camp oven sites, scar trees, ochre sites and possible burial sites aligned with the frontier wars.
According to Mr Ah-See, the Orange land council then insisted that mine proponent Regis Resources grant it access to the site so its own surveyors could conduct cultural audits. These surveyors are highly skilled and respected, Mr Ah-See says, and claims of camp ovens and multiple scar trees were rejected as having no authenticity.
She’s done now. That diminishing chance of being PM just vanished…
Roy Ah-See has done the aboriginal cause a great service.
To state, loud and proud, that local people have carefully reviewed the proposed dam site and are sure there is nothing there of cultural significance is a huge boost to the credibility of his people.
Also a major blow to Green manoeverings behind the curtain.
How many other projects were/are cancelled or delayed by a tissue of lies?

Look. For clarity. Absolute clarity.
I am not saying Covid and everything to do with it wasn’t shit.
Because it was. It was shit. Elite-level shit.
But it spawned thousands of these sorts of comments from alleged and apparent ‘professionals’ on all sorts of platforms. Platforms which allowed nuffers to display their nuffery to millions.
I am astounded this is still going on. A fruitless search for either relevance or attention, perhaps.

‘Cast of thousands’ headlined Reynolds defamation trial
Aaron BunchAAP
Sat, 7 September 2024 4:32AM
The defamation trial initiated by Senator Linda Reynolds against Brittany Higgins has wrapped up.
What started as a defamation case between a senator and an alleged sexual assault victim ballooned into a who’s who of Australian politics and media.
Prime ministers, television presenters, journalists, members of parliament and political staffers made the court transcript in the Perth trial that pitted Senator Linda Reynolds against her former staffer Brittany Higgins over social media posts the ex-minister believes damaged her reputation.
All told, more than 20 witnesses gave evidence at the five-week trial, which re-examined Ms Higgins’ alleged rape at Parliament House in 2019 and subsequent events including her decision to publicise her claims two years later.
Senator Reynolds’ lawyer Martin Bennett told the Supreme Court of Western Australia Ms Higgins and her now-husband David Sharaz created a “fictional story of political cover-up” that cast the senior Liberal as a villain in a bid to harm her.
Mr Bennett also alleged the recently married couple courted journalists Lisa Wilkinson on Network Ten’s The Project and Gold Walkley award-winner Samantha Maiden from News Corp with their “fairytale” while Ms Higgins was still working for Liberal senator Michaelia Cash.
Ms Higgins’ five-hour pre-interview with Ms Wilkinson and producer Angus Llewellyn laid bare her visceral hatred and “was the genuine, unguarded, unrehearsed, real, true expression of the motive” for the “premeditated” ambush on his client, he alleged in court.
Justice Paul Tottle also heard Ms Higgins and Mr Sharaz’s conspiracy included providing a “dossier” to Labor politicians in the lead-up to the political firestorm that erupted after Ms Higgins’ emotional tell-all television interview.
Senator Reynolds testified that Kimberley Kitching gave her a heads-up before fellow Labor senators Katy Gallagher and Penny Wong led the intense grilling that resulted in her physical and emotional breakdown in parliament.
She also delivered a bombshell when she linked the saga to Senator Kitching’s death from a suspected heart attack in March 2022, amid tearful evidence in which she alleged her friend was bullied by her colleagues.
Former prime minister Scott Morrison said Ms Higgins’ accusation her former boss mishandled her alleged rape amid a political cover-up was weaponised to discredit his government, and the political attacks were aggressive and co-ordinated.
