I don’t see us getting out of this. We are on a path , just as basket cases in Sth Am and the Med squander nations have taken. Not unless Govt slashes it’s size, reduces taxes, abandons the Green dream and states and councils walk back the massive burdens of fees, levies and restrictive regs. Corps like miners and banks will do ok, as usual.
I don’t see any Govt state or federal or council volunteering to reduce their confiscation of our money. So, we’ll continue to see less of it.

The WEF says COVID was a test run to see what the bulk of the population would put up with in terms of restrictions on freedoms and imposition of dodgy remedies like masks and personal spacing. It was a success, of course.
But it wasn’t the first test. That was Global Warming then Climate Change with added Extreme Weather. That unholy propaganda, aimed at knobbling the west by restricting energy and imposing stupid rules on all manner of things (including eating red meat!) has been incredibly successful. It has only been possible with the poisonous combination of idiot or ill-intentioned politicians and complicit media.

This is better than outright bans, which take away people’s right to choose.

US Intel Undercuts DOJ’s “Foreign Interference” Claim Used To Smear Conservative Pundits (8 Sep)

Kean – snivelling turd.
AEMO’s ISP was manipulated to produce the necessary mechanism for the biggest theft of public money and assets by the corporate and investment sector.
Speaking of global warming, I finally found the evidence I was looking for, demonstrating that feedback from water vapour is negative, no positive, as clouds.
Water vapour alone is a greenhouse gas, implying that it’s increase creates a positive feedback loop, but increased water vapour creates more clouds, which reflects sunlight.
We see this in practice. El Nino is characterised by warmer waters in eastern Pacific and colder waters in the Western Pacific.
Well, guess what. Such colder waters produces less evaporation, hence less cloud. Australia gets oversaturated with direct sunlight creating hotter conditions and drought.
For the slow (I’m speaking to you, Muttley), colder water creates drier and hotter conditions. La Nina of course creates the opposite effect, with warmer waters creating cooler conditions through increased cloud which explains all the rain.
So the more temperatures increase, the more it gets absorbed in the oceans, the more rain we get. It’s a negative feedback, so the more it warms, the less it warms. The earth self-correcting.
Brice, feel free to correct or adjust where necessary.

ANU revokes expulsion for student who supported HamasBy Paul SakkalSeptember 7, 2024 — 7.30pm
Listen to this article
3 min
The Australian National University has backed down on expelling a protest leader who declared Australians should support Hamas, according to the activist who is back on campus months after pro-Palestine tent protests sparked a ferocious debate on freedom of expression.
Beatrice Tucker was expelled and banned from stepping foot on the prestigious Canberra institution’s grounds after saying Hamas, which carried out the worst massacre of Jews since World War II, should not be condemned for the October 7 attacks.
The university believed the comments may have breached laws prohibiting support for terror groups. Its contentious call to kick Tucker off campus represented one of the toughest actions taken by universities as Coalition MPs and Jewish groups argued for the protesters to be booted off campuses, prompting civil libertarians to raise free-speech concerns.
“I actually say that Hamas deserve our unconditional support,” Tucker, a member of Students and Staff Against War ANU, said on ABC Radio in April.
“Not because I agree with their strategy. But the situation at hand is if you have no hope, if you are sanctioned every day of your life, if you’re told you’re not allowed to drive down a road because somebody who is Israeli gets to have preference and you sit there for 12 hours. [That’s] the reality of life in Palestine.”
Tucker, who was contacted for comment, wrote in social media posts this week: “My expulsion has been overturned babeeeyyyy!”
“Guess who got to step onto ANU campus today after 4 long fighting months.”
“Just wanna affirm that Palestini4ns have the right to res1st, by any means necessary as recognised under international law & we have to continue to fight to say so.”
“Gutless” and “Cowards” are words that spring to mind.
Comment awaiting approval.

Sorry to be pedantic.
Oops, sorry. I should’ve checked, I’m always terrible with names.
I would have thought having poisonous malefactors like Chaney attacking him would only boost his standing.
“Eighteen Days inn October” contains the statement that, on October 20th, 1973, an Israeli pilot named Giora Even notched his seventeenth kill, making him the worlds most successful ace of the modern jet fighter era.
A footnote notes, dryly, that the record for an American is Charles B DeBellvue, who recorded six kills in Vietnam.
The cope, it burns you so. You are reduced to feebly mewling the excuse that the Russians used a cut out so your boys are barley-cross-fingers. Pathetic.
The Feds have all the receipts. The money existed, it was paid in gargantuan amounts for services rendered. The supposed donor, “Eduard Grigoriann”, never existed. A classic GRU tactic which even idiots should have recognised, if they weren’t blinded by roubles.
No word on whether Pool, Rubin, Southern et al will donate their blood money to charity. Or perhaps an Ukraine war veteran fund? If there is any of it left after buying caviar and vodka.
Do they even know where the money for their salaries came from? I’d be sceptical it was even Russian. After all Vlad has quite a few other things to spend money on right now. Could easily have come from a Dem billionaire or the Chinese – both want to take Trump down. So using a TDS influencer to undermine him with the base would be in character.
And the Feds don’t have the receipts as the article I linked says: the US Intel community blew off Garland.
Who is doing cope now eh Monty? Does it hurt when yet another fake news Dem hit job unravels?
Who is this Eduard Grigoriann? Only a day or so it was someone called Kalishnikov or similar.

How the “mighty” fall .. way, way back in 1968 I toured the USS America, anchored off Garden Island cos too big to dock, she had more air firepower on board than the entire RAAF, of the day, could muster, 7500 crew and was an awesome fighting machine .. Now the US has 8 bigger than she was & is getting humiliated by sand monkeys in sail boats & Iran weaponry .. All cos winning isn’t what the US media wants ……
When you let the media dictate policy your on a loser ,,,,!

Those aren’t the difficult lessons here, Makka. It isn’t DEI preventing the USN regaining control of the Red Sea. Naval power alone will never achieve that. Further, neither will air power. Same applies to Straits of Hormuz.
I suspect the Houthis are seriously pissing off the Arabs. Very unlikely that any Israel-linked ship would be traversing the Red Sea.
What it looks like is the Houthis are shooting at anything that moves then saying it is Israeli.
But the likeliest cargoes would be to/from Egypt, Sudan and Saudi – they don’t have much choice about using the Red Sea. I know they’ve also shot up ships delivering to Iranian ports.
So far the peace deal with Saudi is holding, but it must be very strained.
Why would Yemen give two-shits about Gulf Arabs?
Because after a long war with Saudi they probably don’t want a long war with Saudi, Egypt and Sudan.
The RSA was useless, but Sudanese mercenaries were fairly bloodthirsty and the Saudi airforce pilots did tend to bomb their targets.
Iran and Saudi have also been doing kiss and make up lately. So I doubt Iran wants that to fall apart.

Have you tried Aldi, Joh? To my untrained eye they appear to have a reasonable selection of cheese with a bit of European sensibility thrown in.
Thanks for the tip, will do. 🙂
Aldi’s own-brand items (including cheese) compete on quality with the branded products and are much cheaper. Their other great advantage is that, because they don’t stock umpteen versions of the same thing, their stores are smaller and you can go around them faster.
The drawback is that the inventory can be a bit erratic; e.g. for some strange reason they decided a while ago to stop stocking chutney, mint sauce and flavoured couscous. But if you’re feeling the financial pressure, it’s a good option.
Just keep it going. Full stop.

On clouds.
NOAA points out the inconvenient fact that the world’s stock of climate models do not model the underlying physics of cloud formation:
This is a fairly heroic understatement, given the significance of the transport of latent heat upwards in the atmosphere through evaporation and convection, its release via condensation, and the impact on the energy budget of the high atmosphere of water droplets freezing in stratospheric+ clouds.
All the models used in ‘climate science’ parameterise clouds*. That is, the clouds and associated energy transfers are ‘assumed’ by the modellers rather than based on explicit physical process. As the NOAA piece explains, this is a necessity because of the weak scientific understanding of the actual processes of cloud distribution and formation.
The end result is that almost everything ‘known’ about CO2 climate sensitivity is at best a rough guess. Done by people with a vested interest in the worst possible outcome.
But, hey, The Science Is In.
Bet your life on it.

A journey in numbers
FOUR months away…
TWENTY-THREE countries: Mauritius, South Africa, Namibia, Cape Verde, Las Palmas, Greece, Tunisia, Malta, Italy, Turkey, Crete, Romania, Bulgaria, Serbia, Croatia, Hungary, France, Switzerland, Scotland, England, Portugal, Spain, Japan.
Worst country = Tunisia – worth going but lots of dodgy areas and dubious public road transport. Also armoured cars on the streets of the capital Tunis makes one pause for thought. Best country Malta – a fascinating historical and architectural marvel with its own blended culture of thousands of years overlaid with the best of British.
TWENTY flights. Worst airport was Tunisia of course. Airlines were all pretty good except for two lost bag episodes – see below for a whinge. RyanAir can be very annoying with incessant announcements. None feature a “Welcome to Country” so there is that.
More train and bus rides than we can recall. Best train service from the Swiss – always on time, and excellent rolling stock. The British trains were also very good.
Worst minor transport service was Hellenic Ferries, staffed by sullen and uncooperative Greeks. Run on a principle of swarm on board a 500 passenger ferry, throw your bags in enormous store cabins down at the stern and fight for a a seat. Then again the ships were fast and on time and safe enough.
TWO best beggars. Aggressive begging in Europe seems to be a lot less than in Australia. Britain seems to have a lot, but the two standouts both were in Lisbon, Portugal, and both had a new angle. One tramp had a guinea pig, and another a rabbit, and they looked to be coining it due to people stopping to look at the animals. Personally speaking I would have thought they would be prevented from this rather harsh practice by the local plod but apparently not so.
THIRTY or so accommodations. Longest 19 days on the Africa cruise; shortest ones were a night here and there. Most interesting might be our eight day TrustedHousesitter.com stay in Romsey, a British village near Southhampton. We looked after two Jack Russell terriers; one morose cat we rarely saw, and a tank of fish. Nice house and garden with walks nearby.
ONE grumpy taxi driver. Pireus, the cruise port for Athens, is dominated by union-controlled taxis who have squashed Uber out. We got in for a two kilometre ride to the railway station, and asked the driver how much – 30 Euros/about $60 Aus, he said – an exceptional rip-off; they all want the trip to the airport for which they charge an even more outrageous sum. So we got out and a Chinese lady got in. One of several very courteous Greek policemen wandered over and asked why we got out. We told him; he ordered the driver to take us for E10, and we got back in. The driver was furious; took off at a rate of knots, and while speeding along put into Google Translate on his phone: “the police will now fine me 300 thanks to you my friend”. I disputed this as the policeman had not noted down his rego, and made sure we got our bags out before I paid him.
FIVE cruises. Three ocean liners as work cruises, one round Africa, and two in the Mediterranean. Two river cruises: Bucharest to Budapest with UniWorld, and up and down the Duoro River – Portugal with a bit of Spain – on board a TravelMarvel cruiser. Best food in the everyday dine-in restaurants was the new Princess Sun.
FIFTY entertainment pieces approx. Most unusual: the Romanian dancers on the UniWorld river cruise. Best overall: Princess consistently put on excellent singing and dancing shows, and unusual presentations too – one such was a “speed painter” who took requests and did big panels with brushes and spray cans to a three minute song.
TWO disasters. Two cases of delayed bags: one in Mauritius – went to the airport and found it after many excuses; and another when Scandinavian Air failed to deliver on a Saturday flight; also on a Sunday, and then delivered it halfway through a Monday.
Apart from that the towing handle fell off one suitcase. Power outage in the housesitting job, but managed to find out why and reset circuit breakers and freezer and so on. Not really disasters…

It is in part- absolutely. The lessons the US is learning once again, is that there must be both a will and ability at the top to complete win a kinetic confrontation. A will to withstand the media and political hysteria along with the tools (command) to accomplish defined goals no matter what. The CiC is a vegetable and the USN is infected by inept DEI hires at all levels. The asylum is in the hands of the m0rons.
If the Houthis tried this on Israel , hundreds of planes would appear over Yemen inside 24 hours to carpet bomb the Houthis. The Gaza treatment. The USN is running scared of confrontation in the Red Sea for fear of the embarrassing loss of a Billion$ warship and it’s crew to some ragheads. Sad doesn’t cover it.
They did try it on Israel and Israel did send planes over to carpet bomb Houthistan.
The Houthis now don’t have an oil refinery and terminal anymore.

media hype – total bs on the news in adders last night – tickets for port Adelaide go on side on Monday at 9:30 – expected to sell out faster than the Geelong game, a bigger crowd expected , fans are going to get behind the team –
after last week same shit diff yr , go to big footy on line and read the comment from the demos, they are not turning up, coach has to do, 9 players not up to it playing a team who are red hot, being sold hope , club is called cowards by its fans.
next Macc caused this.
The Houthis have, they shut down their southern port. And they got that treatment earlier from the Saudis to no effect. The Houthis still got the Saudis to the negotiating table because the Houthis had the capability of effectively responding.
If only:
Probably fearful that people with red-green colour blindness would mistake green for red. Which would be understandable of course.
Maybe a Venn diagram would help.

The Saudi’s haven’the stomache or inclination for a drawn out bloody war. They can easily buy their enemies off at any time and go back to whoring on the Riviera.
A few days ago, you incorrectly hit me with the accusation that I’m recycling phrases. Meanwhile, you’re clinging to the same two lines like they’re your emotional support blankie. .
“Cope”? Really? That’s more overused than my family Netflix subscription, Didn’t the Deck Chair War-Servant start this cope thing?
By the way, I was being sarcastic about the world power thing… which should’ve been as obvious as wearing sunnies at the airport at night (like I once saw Tony Jones doing).
The Red Sea and the Suez? Yeah, not exactly top-tier on America’s must-watch list.
Also, with the current administration, the US policy toward Israel is about as clear as driving through thick fog, so the US wants minimal interaction. The Israeli-Pali war is what got the Hooties busting out their dance moves like they’re auditioning for “Dancing with the Stars.” (The two on the left are ripped, Hootie Tootie special forces recruits).
Let’s be honest, if the US wanted to squash the Hooties, it would’ve done it pretty quickly.
In an air-conditioned conference room?
The Saudis at the negotiating table? Well, yeah, the Hooties figured out their secret weapon: turning off the Saudis A/C. The second the temperature starts climbing, the Saudis are like, “Alright, alright, let’s talk, we’re done here!”
Dover, the Saudi military can’t operate without cold air, as I’ve said before. 🙂
I think it is fairly safe to assume that most people with a large following on social media are selling their influence, and that it will be sold to the highest bidder, be that the devil himself.

And Abbott’s failure meant we got Liberals that said ‘F*ck it, why should Labor have all the fun, we will just borrow and spend like they do!’
The Liberals first job is to protect Australia from loonies – and instead they are making it worse.
One of the most ridiculous and offensive series in recent years has to be the “reimagining” of the Tudor Court. Or, as we like to call it, Black Anne Boleyn. That’s right, Netflix decided to really reimagine the downfall of Henry VIII’s second wife by casting dark-skinned black actress Jodie Turner Smith. Because we all know that black Africans were a huge part of early modern English life, and that Henry was an early proponent of interracial dating.
Bolding head prefect!
The worst example is when they started blackening our Jane. Just imagine Elizabeth Bennet in an afro telling tall dark and black Darcy: I ain’t no Jackamammy; how’s them apples nigger?!
I’ve stopped even bothering with ahistorical garbage that they are churning out these days like the above.
Remakes are just as bad, Magnificent 7 remake I lasted 10 mins, it was absolute unrepresentative of the times.
I lasted five minutes into the new “Persuasion” movie. Break the fourth wall at your peril – only the best can do it successfully.
And definitely not when “re-imagining” a Jane novel.
Denzel Washington, playing Winston Churchill?
And we will soon be seeing a white gay Nelson Mandella, and a short fat Asian playing Barack Obama???
For military Cats – “Eighteen Days in October” by Uri Kaufman, is highly recommended. Much new material on the Yom Kippur War – Israeli tank losses in the opening stages of the war were heavy, but, when the Israeli counter attack began, the Egyptians lost one third of their tanks in four days. There’s also a good account of dealing with some of the towering ego’s in the Israeli High Command. Good reading!

‘So much mental load’: Mothers speak about school lunches (MedXpress, 7 Sep)
No wonder kids are so neurotic these days.
(The author is a Canuck professor who pretty much is everything you would expect. No idea if she is married or if she has kids, even though I tried looking her up.)
Then there are the food police at schools where they will check your childs lunch and remove items not deemed healthy and or chastise parents. I think that may have died off as parents ‘politely’ told them what they could do with their policies.
And then you have allergy police who demand that no child ever eat, peanuts, eggs, wheat etc because theirs will die if they even come in contact with residue on gym equipment etc.
I has Vegemite and cheese sandwiches and an apple every day from grade 1 to 11.
Nell, the Cook, and her team of 4 of the kids on the kitchen roster, made 36 lunches every school day except Monday and that was because there was no bread from the weekend.
I don’t think Nell went mad although there were times…
🙂
The struggle is real.
I would wager she has cats though, lots of cats…

Just farewelled two American visitors who enjoyed a short stay at our farm. Both (a married couple, middle aged) are intelligent professionals – one a retired lawyer, and the other still teaching in the medical field. Both are committed Democrats, so our discussions on the US elections was in depth, but civil(!). It really was an exercise in good manners, but committed ideas. As it should be.
Neither thought the election result was predictable. I mentioned that the Rasmussen poll has just registered a roughly 60/40 result in favour of Trump – totally challenging the media polls supposedly registering a 50/50 split between Trump and the pretender, Kamala. They were surprised and had little to say in response.
BTW this couple, who we met through mutual Sydney friends, visit Oz every year. They have tried to emigrate here, but can’t even get a long visa because of their age. A pity, because they have ample financial security and would be good citizens.

Has there been a Rassie poll that slanted?
You never used ‘time machine’ earlier when I raised Iraq and WMDs? Come on. But getting back to the issue, yes, ‘cope’ is particularly apt here. You used sarcasm as a way of handwaving away the reality of the last 9 months. The reasons that I gave that initiated your response were made 9 months earlier; that short of sending troops into Yemen or working out a compromise, the US couldn’t stop the blockade simply with air or naval assets.
Not without troops on the ground. They’ve effectively said that losing control of the Suez Canal/ Red Sea is less strategically costly than defending it. That is a win for the Houthis.
And neither does the US.
That’s my point. But at least the Saudi’s don’t let DEI intervene in their abilities. Their money does the talking.
While the headline growth figure is still in positive territory – just, at 0.2 per cent – that’s only because the Albanese government is flooding the economy with taxpayers’ money; and because it’s also importing migrants at all-time record levels. If one or either of those things weren’t happening – the unsustainable spending or the high migration – we would have no growth at all and we’d be in official recession, not just per capita recession.
Glad to see that this is recognised. Government spending and over-the-top immigration is lazy economics – a seemingly easy fix to stagnant growth.
Mind you, the Morrison/Frydenberg combo were embarking upon the same course before they were chucked out.
I see Josh had a big editorial the other day attempting to remind us all how he saved the country from a Covid induced economic catastrophe. Had nothing to do with a massive and unprecedented overreaction by Government apparently…
No kidding, you could slap these ears on a futuristic Concorde and ditch the engines—they’d take off on their own and reach mach1 in seconds.

Who knows?
For Indolent, and all those who suspect that the bl—y spike protein has done more damage than we think:
The Whole World Has Been Poisoned
The spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19 vaccines has diminished us all. JOHN LEAKE
SEP 7
Last night at dinner with Dr. McCullough, we talked about the test he is now using in his clinical practice to detect antibodies to the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. He frequently detects very high spike protein antibody levels in patients, even in those who never received a vaccine and who have not had acute symptoms of COVID-19 for over a year.
All of us have been exposed to the toxic spike protein that Ralph Baric, Shi Zhengli, et al. developed in their laboratories. The only question is how long will it take our bodies to clear it. Dr. McCullough pointed out that the spike protein is, like the pathogens that cause syphilis, and Lyme Disease, able to resist being cleared from the body. Even if it does not cause obvious clinical diseases such as myocarditis, strokes, and blood clots, it is probably still affecting all of us to some degree in terms of diminished vitality.
We often think of poisons as substances that immediately result in spectacular distress and death—things like snake venom, ricin, botulinum, and cyanide. While the spike protein induced by the COVID-19 vaccines may indeed rapidly kill some people, for most of us, it is a “subtle thief of vitality” (to paraphrase Milton’s characterization of time as “a subtle thief of youth”).
Milton’s metaphor is useful because it appears that the spike protein is a poison that accelerates senescence, or aging. I currently know a lot of people in their seventies who were doing just fine until 2022, but experienced a sudden manifestation of diseases associated with aging—diseases such as Parkinson’s, dementia, and cancer—that seemed to advance at a terrifying rate.
For most of us, the symptoms range from ringing ears and sleep disturbances to a generalize diminishment of vitality. We are more inclined to feel fatigue, lethargy, and a depression of spirits. We suffer brain fog, indecisiveness, and a depression of spirits. We don’t move as quickly, and we seem to experience aches and pains associated with inflammation.
“The whole world has been poisoned,” I thought as I went to bed last night. This morning, I read an essay by James Howard Kunstler that opens with the following quotation from my friend Ed Dowd.
In this context, Ed was referring to the poisoning of our minds, but I know from my conversations with him that he shares my perception that our bodies have also been poisoned by the spike protein. A weakened body is always accompanied by a weakened mind.
In spite of this essay’s gloom and doom, I see grounds for hope. While President Trump was duped by the Bio-Pharmaceutical Complex in 2020, he expresses signs that he now understands that. Even more promising is his recently consummated alliance with RFK, Jr. Guys like Drs. Peter McCullough, Paul Marik, and Pierre Kory are working hard to discover antidotes to spike protein toxicity. We may be on the cusp of a new era of healing.
Do vaccines cause autism? Finally, a definitive answer!
Yeah nah.
These days kids are diagnosed ‘autistic’ if they just act like boys.
That has ALWAYS been my thought.
When a mother apologises to for her sons being boisterous, I always say it’s an absolute pleasure to see and hear such normal boys.
The definitions of what is autism have changed significantly over this period. So have the number professionals in the industry diagnosing and treating autism and the incentives to put a label on a kid as autistic have all increased too. Autism spectrum disorder has become fashionably acceptable. Far more acceptable than born with mild brain damage or has petit mal. And a kid with a raging temper who has never been taught control by parents, far better to excuse with ASD or ADD.
As mem says.
In the 1960’s/70’s, diagnosis largely happened at school and terminology was less than charitable.
As I remember, kids were diagnosed at age 5 or 6 as ‘slow’, or ‘backward’, or ‘disruptive’ – and shunted off into ‘B’ classes to learn to play the castanet – or just rock to and fro, quietly. After primary school, it was off to special school, or languishing at secondary modern, unable to do much of anything.
And then they sort of disappeared.
By the 1980’s that was unacceptable.
And I’m amazed that anyone has 72 vaccinations by age 18. Counting MMR as three, delivered twice, and whooping cough and polio delivered twice, plus tetanus, mine had 12.
No. But the chance getting on the NDIS does.

Vicki, this is an expanded view of your poisoning comment and link.
Dr. Richard Fleming: Bioweapons and eugenics, are we the next endangered species?
Thank you, Indolent. What has occurred in respect to both the bioweapons gain-of-function virus development, and the subsequent mRNA “vaccines”, is beyond what most people can grasp, let alone believe. No doubt you encounter this as I do.
I find it profoundly terrifying. I have lived a wonderful life, but I despair for my grandchildren……
Thanks, Bruce. The silly thing is that THIS IS OBSERVABLE. Anyone on the NSW coast can see the stark contrast from the El Nino bushfires and the wet La N?na years. This is a mitigating effect both ways, reducing cooling AND warming. It takes something much bigger than human CO² to have a massive effect on the planet. The sun, of course, is king.
You’ll end up in a Gulag talking sense like that.
Gulag it is,then. The sun is the driver of climate.
Historians are always looking backwards. The problem with your claim was that nothing Buchanan or I argued depends upon knowing something that was unknown in ’39 or ’40. It was simply a position argued from what was known then.
Just admit that the costs are greater than the benefits and those costs includes the loss of prestige.
And maybe the US administration is waiting for Europe, China, and the East to do some of the lifting themselves.
Everyone seems to be waiting on someone else doing something where the Houthis are involved .. and in the meanwhile .. duuuh!
The Europeans have sent assets; same constraints apply to them. China and the East are less effected.

Who are you kidding? There is an immense loss of prestige atm. They cannot control a major international waterway because of the Houthis. That is a heavy blow for a hegemon. It basically signals its limits and vulnerability to every other major power and the danger of dependency to its allies and client states.
It actually doesn’t. It’s success in weakening the military is limited.
No one has tried it since WWII.
Carpet bomb!
What military!
Should be NOTHING left

It never worked in WW2. It was used predominantly as a terror weapon.
WWII was probably the last time someone from the west won a war, by that metric it did work. It bought the Japanese to the table and let them know they were beaten.
It worked for the Romans.

WA’s $376k Agent General in line for pay cut, Premier says
Sun, 8 September 2024 11:49AM
Comments
Dylan Caporn
WA’s highly paid London-based agent general could be in line for a pay cut, with the Premier admitting the $376,000 salary does not meet public expectations.
Roger Cook’s confession came after The West revealed the generous details of John Langoulant’s contract, including a total of $800,000 in salary, allowances and rental assistance for a central London apartment.
Speaking to reporters on Sunday, Mr Cook said his decision to only appoint Angela Kelly — Mr Langoulant’s successor — for nine months was to avoid a lengthy pre-election appointment and review pay and conditions.
“This, obviously, is an opportunity for us to take a fresh look in terms of that role and make sure that it’s meeting our needs and community’s expectations,” he said.
“I want to review the conditions and the circumstances for the agent general to make sure they’re more in line with DFAT wages and conditions to make sure it better meets public expectations.
“It’s more appropriate in a post-election environment that we make these longer term appointments.”
Mr Cook has previously defended the spend on the Agent General position, saying the historic nature and seniority within the public servants justified the spend.
All pigs are equal…
Regardless, Handsome Boy will never be welcome at the Mardi Gras again.
“The incredible shrinking Prime Minister” someone dubbed him this week.
It’s Sunday so of course we have a woke sermon from the ABC. Today’s is on euthanasia ,and of course only from a supporter’s point of view:
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-09-08/ros-worthington-chooses-voluntary-assisted-dying/104314116
Perhaps the entire staff of the ABC could take this holy lesson to heart.
That would save quite a lot on the ABC wages and salaries budget. Win-win!
Maybe proponents should sign up for involuntary euthanasia? At any time during the rest of their lives they could get a knock at the door and be taken away and euthanised. Whether they are happy, sad healthy or sick. It doesn’t matter, just like the unborn and the elderly and sick they want to kill off, their lives are just as insignificant, so it shouldn’t matter when they go.
Good thing the batteries aren’t particularly combustible – oh, wait …

The person who created Tenet was Lauren Chen (well, her and her husband). She is actually an anti-Trumper as she sees him as having betrayed true conservatism, such as his refusal to commit to a national abortion ban (which he insists is constitutionally a state matter) and his embracing certain Democrats like Tulsi and RFK Jr. She seems also to have lately been afflicted with figments of sinister Jewish cabals dancing in her field of vision.
Even the DOJ indictment makes it clear there is no evidence of deceptiveness by Pool and others. It seems that what Pool at least agreed to was to grant her limited license to one of his podcasts – whereby they could show it on their channel but the Beanie retained ownership and could show it where he wanted as well. It was not a political podcast. The first episode of the podcast was about skateboarding. His opinion on Russia and Ukraine has been consistent from day 1: America should not get involved and risk getting dragged into a more serious situation should it so evolve. He was also against Iraq for the same reasons. Is he supposed to be a Saddam Hussain shill too?
He thinks America has plenty of problems of its own at the moment.
For what it is worth his expectations for Trump are that he will keep America out of wars but manage to broker international peace without making the US the eternal guarantor. His economic management will be good and he will start to cut into the swamp. But Pool believes Trump is still only a human. Not winged Nemesis scything down all wrongdoers. He will be a great President – as Presidents go – and get done a lot of what America really needs now. As well as a flesh and blood human might.
Queering the census results.
Dover, in your last comment, you casually slipped this in.
Our point of discussion centered on Cooper’s assertions, not Buchanan, so why the casual switcheroo?
Yeah, because if you can’t control a waterway, how can you possibly call yourself a superpower?
Honestly, it’s like tripping over in the final of Dancing With The Stars competing against those feet tapping faggots. And in any event, what more “prestige” could the Hiden administration lose that would get them to zero, when it’s already there? Don’t be such a drama queen.
Yesterday, in the new Islamist hub of London, there was yet another huge pro-Hamas rally. What’s interesting and disturbing is that the politicised London plod and the Islamist mayor gave the Islamists and leftists the all clear to congregate and march but refused permission for a counter protests called ‘Stop the Hate” to proceed. Stop the Hate is an organisation made up of Jews and their friends to stand for Israel and Jewish communities. At the Islamist rally yesterday in Islamist London they carried banners with the Red Triangle, which is the new ‘swastika’. Do you know what this ‘Red Triangle’ is code for? It’s a Hamas sign to indicate their target for murder.
A question for our Nazi, as he’s clearly obsessed with money being channeled/funnelled from unsavoury sources to fund various groups here in the West, why isn’t he concerned about where the funding behind these pro-Hamas rallies is coming from? These ‘hate’ rallies/protests/ gatherings are very well funded. But curiously, oddly, weirdly, our Nazi just isn’t bothered by that funding. Wonder why? Oh I know, they’re not right-wing Youtubers.
That’s why I was so outraged to see it there in plain sight in the banners that were hung over our Parliament House, let alone the outrage I feet that the people who broke into our Parliament and were not apprehended immediately by security have now been given light ‘suspended’ sentences.

Be interesting to see if the Department of Veteran’s Affairs rates a mention.
Cooper’s assertion re Churchill and WW2 is the same as Buchanan’s. The ‘casual switcheroo’ is simply a way of focusing on the substance rather than banging on about Cooper.
Exactly. If you can’t control a major waterway – let’s not pretend that the Suez is unimportant – then your prestige as hegemon is significantly diminished. It is. Let’s not pretend otherwise.
Hundreds Attend Funeral for Slain Hostage Eden Yerushalmi in Petah Tikva

Eden was 24 years old. A beautiful young women. Starved by Hamas, she was only 36 kilos before she was murdered by Hamas scum who put a bullet into the back of her head.
The same Hamas scum that many in the West now extol and laud.
But hear this, we Jews will always stand for good, for life and for decency, even in the face of absolute evil.

Alarm at Greens’ ‘Hamas symbols’ (Paywallian)
C’mon Green peoples, surely it’s time for the twin silver lightning bolts.
Fair to say that the only similarity between the mens and ladies Aussie Rules top level is the shape of the ball.
The ladies is a disgraceful product which will never match the hype. Bit like the Carlton blokes. Absolutely putrid.
The AFL audience at the Seven Network halved when the AFLW season started a fortnight ago. As the Lezzo League season progresses, AFLW is now not even in the nation’s top 30 most popular shows.
Footy fans aren’t stupid and won’t patronise a dud product. AFLW is like watching a junior boys match with little league scores as the females struggle to cover the full AFL ovals the chicks insist on.
So the Seven Network — not the AFL — has to wear the commercial disaster of broadcasting a product next-to-no-one is watching. Once more, the billion-dollar rights for the men’s game are subsidising the women’ game because it can’t stand on its own two feet.
Suspect we are close to peak prices for AFL and NRL rights. Big Bash League has already peaked.
Reading the account of the Yom Kippur War – the organizers of the protests into the conduct of the war, which began weeks after the end of that war, asked that those personnel, wishing to join the protest, and arriving directly from active duty, NOT bring their weapons…
We were banging on about Cooper’s points. If they’re the same, then there’s no reason to go all Buchanan on me.
I never said the Suez/Red Sea was unimportant. I just said it’s not exactly a ‘red alert, DEFCON 1’ kind of deal for the US and probably never was. There’s a difference.
So then, American military prestige is now nestled somewhere between Luxembourg and Mauritania? I think you’re being over-dramatic.
Great move. While families struggle to their homes going, our Liar’s Govt deals with the really BIG issues. This will be very popular.
And to have the Treasurer announce it!
Additionally, 4.7 Billion $$$ for DV activities. No end to the Liars burning through OPM while families scrounge for pennies.
Albo must have his concerns. After the entire Cabinet goes missing Albo joins them. Like Home and Away he must be hoping a wedding will spark some interest.
These answers will be rorted. Expect a high percentagage of trans and gay people to emerge. All lefties will be in on that game, declare trans or gay on the census for the sake of ‘diversity’ even if you are not remotely trans or gay. The more trans and gay people that emerge from the census, the more push there can be for claiming special privileges needed to ‘normalise’ these groups.
A ridiculous question, best left out.
How much taxpayer dosh has been flushed down the toilet ejucating “Dr’ Chalmers? Lord Unis have a lot to answer for BIRM.
an Israeli pilot named Giora Even notched his seventeenth kill, making him the worlds most successful ace of the modern jet fighter era.
I have read a claim that at least one, possibly two, Russians, scored over 30 each in the Korean War.
It’d be interesting to know what has been going on over the skies of Ukraine.
On the other hand I suspect there will soon be no more aces. Ground base AA is getting really seriously lethal.
Not a lot I suspect in the air to air region.
Air to drone is bigly.
The F-16 that the Ukies own goaled with a Patriot had been busily shooting down Russian drones.
I don’t think drones count as ace victories though.
Some of Jerry Pournelle’s military SF posited that there would be zero flying machines except for rear area transport. Seems about right.
Air to air kills should always be judged with suspicion. They are almost always inflated by both sides. The reasons include a desire to promote positive fights, inexperience by the aircrew, and so on.
Here’s a para I wrote some time back:
Beginner pilots misidentified their targets, opened fire too far away, and often claimed victories that weren’t. There were a number of reasons for this: two or three pilots might fire at the same bomber, and each claimed it as a victory. A smoking aircraft also was not necessarily a kill – it might be just damaged, and some machines produced smoke under emergency power as they sought to escape: both the Zero and the Betty bomber were known for this. For example an attack on Darwin on 25 April 1942 saw the defending forces claim 12 of the raiding aircraft shot down; in reality the Japanese lost five. Not to be outdone the attackers claimed seven destroyed and two probables: the reality was three P-40s hit.
Not sure what your point is here. If I remove Buchanan and sub Cooper back the point is the same: The problem with your claim was that nothing [Cooper} or I argued depends upon knowing something that was unknown in ’39 or ’40.
So what was meant by, Yeah, because if you can’t control a waterway, how can you possibly call yourself a superpower?, if not diminishing the importance of the Suez as a major waterway?
This just miss the point. No one is pretending that it’s inability to control the Suez is an existential threat to the US. What I argued was that it’s inability do so significantly diminishes is its status as hegemon.
It’s a difficult time for Jews, it’s a difficult time to have faith. I’ve joined a Jewish women’s study group. This morning the Rebbetzin (Rabbi’s wife) began our morning study session by talking about the six young Jews murdered in Gaza. Some of us sobbed at the table. She told us to be strong and to always have faith in Hashem. She spoke of the struggle between Isaac and Ishmael and the struggle between Jacob and Esau. Jewish history is replete with struggle however we Jews always persist. The Rebbetzin reminded us of the words from the Seder, the Passover meal…..
‘In each and every generation they rise up against us to destroy us. And the Holy One, blessed be He, rescues as from their hands”.
I do believe in Hashem. I have to believe in Hashem.
Remember Esther and Mordecai.
Hear O Israel.

I am grateful and happy that you have comfort to turn to.
Bless.
Cassie, as a Catholic, I was taught ( and still believe) that good must vanquish evil, and the Archangels are our army, otherwise all is darkness and there is the End. I believe we are in this battle at present.
Soviet AcesSquadron leader Nikolaj Sutyagin is considered the top jet ace of all time. He served as a deputy squadron leader with the 17 IAP and earned his first victory on June 19, 1951. Just three days later, he had shot down two F-86s and increased his score to three. He continued to achieve victories regularly and had his best month in December 1951 when he reported destroying five enemy planes in the air. Overall, he had 22 confirmed kills in 149 sorties, with his victories including 15 F-86s, three F-84s, two F-80s, and two Meteors.
Pardon me for being sceptical, ZK2A, but a sceptic I am about Russian scores in any field of combat. Not exactly brimming with confidence over the US ones either.
If it’s any comfort Cassie, I meet with some ladies on Friday mornings and we pray regularly for our country’s Jews and for the hostages.
We won’t be the only ones. Also, what Bruce said. One of my favourite stories (and I have many favourites). And also Psalm 91.
Just further to the Murdoch family. Whilst not perfect, they’re a helluva lot better than many other wealthy families. The problem with us on the right is that we expect, actually we demand perfection at all times. The left aren’t that fussy. Perhaps we should be a little more forgiving.
Murdoch newspapers are one of the few media outlets that allow and publish right of centre opinion. Take this country, without Murdoch’s News Corporation, particularly it’s print outlets such as The Australian and it’s broadcasting outlet, Sky News, we’d be bereft. What would we have? The Guardian, the SMH and The Age that’s what we’d be left with. Yuk, yuk, no thank you. In this weekend’s Australia, the Oz published the always superb Brendan O’Neill and his excoriating piece comparing the Jew hatred of Candace Owen and Chlamydia Ford. Ya reckon you’d see such a piece in the SMH or The Age? I don’t think so.
James Murdoch and Lachlan Murdoch have different politics, I have different politics to my brother. So what?
Since October 7 2023, the Murdoch family have donated several million dollars to combat Jew hatred. Whilst the Soros family funds Jew hatred, the Murdoch family fights it.
So, who in the Labor Party thought it a brilliant idea to wheel out the Treasurer before the media today to announce…that they had capitulated to the alphabet people on the census sexuality question?
What a shambles of a government.
I can remember when leftards refered to Jo B-P as “Mr 26 percent”, because that was the Country Party vote. They never mentioned the Libs vote, which provided the numbers to the Coalition.
And now AnAl is “Mr 24 percent”.
More than a few Federal elections get decided in Queensland before WA polls even close. I have my doubts about the media narrative that Albo survives and goes into minority government. Governments don’t win elections when the economy is as crook as this.
Even the Akubra won’t save him now.
August 1789, the dirty French declare the Rights of Man, four years later they declare terror the order of the day, and massacre tens of thousands of their fellows, thus proving that those who bang on about rights should draw your cynicism, not your admiration.
The Rights of Man:
1. Men are born and remain free and equal in rights. Social distinctions may be founded only upon the general good.
2. The aim of all political association is the preservation of the natural and imprescriptible rights of man. These rights are liberty, property, security, and resistance to oppression.
3. The principle of all sovereignty resides essentially in the nation. No body nor individual may exercise any authority which does not proceed directly from the nation.
4. Liberty consists in the freedom to do everything which injures no one else; hence the exercise of the natural rights of each man has no limits except those which assure to the other members of the society the enjoyment of the same rights. These limits can only be determined by law.
5. Law can only prohibit such actions as are hurtful to society. Nothing may be prevented which is not forbidden by law, and no one may be forced to do anything not provided for by law.
6. Law is the expression of the general will. Every citizen has a right to participate personally, or through his representative, in its foundation. It must be the same for all, whether it protects or punishes. All citizens, being equal in the eyes of the law, are equally eligible to all dignities and to all public positions and occupations, according to their abilities, and without distinction except that of their virtues and talents.
7. No person shall be accused, arrested, or imprisoned except in the cases and according to the forms prescribed by law. Any one soliciting, transmitting, executing, or causing to be executed, any arbitrary order, shall be punished. But any citizen summoned or arrested in virtue of the law shall submit without delay, as resistance constitutes an offense.
8. The law shall provide for such punishments only as are strictly and obviously necessary, and no one shall suffer punishment except it be legally inflicted in virtue of a law passed and promulgated before the commission of the offense.
9. As all persons are held innocent until they shall have been declared guilty, if arrest shall be deemed indispensable, all harshness not essential to the securing of the prisoner’s person shall be severely repressed by law.
10. No one shall be disquieted on account of his opinions, including his religious views, provided their manifestation does not disturb the public order established by law.
11. The free communication of ideas and opinions is one of the most precious of the rights of man. Every citizen may, accordingly, speak, write, and print with freedom, but shall be responsible for such abuses of this freedom as shall be defined by law.
12. The security of the rights of man and of the citizen requires public military forces. These forces are, therefore, established for the good of all and not for the personal advantage of those to whom they shall be intrusted.
13. A common contribution is essential for the maintenance of the public forces and for the cost of administration. This should be equitably distributed among all the citizens in proportion to their means.
14. All the citizens have a right to decide, either personally or by their representatives, as to the necessity of the public contribution; to grant this freely; to know to what uses it is put; and to fix the proportion, the mode of assessment and of collection and the duration of the taxes.
15. Society has the right to require of every public agent an account of his administration.
16. A society in which the observance of the law is not assured, nor the separation of powers defined, has no constitution at all.
17. Since property is an inviolable and sacred right, no one shall be deprived thereof except where public necessity, legally determined, shall clearly demand it, and then only on condition that the owner shall have been previously and equitably indemnified.
How’s the greatest historian in the United States going?
“Are you a Zionist? Because really they’re the ONLY people having problems with that interview.”
The Telegraph (UK):
What is known is that the market rate for renting a flat in the area is AUS$727.75 a week/ $2910 a month.
A gob of spit in the face of the UK taxpayer and residents generally.
In 2023 the UK was identified as having the highest rate of homelessness in the developed world, by a mile (source: OECD).
The homeless included 130 000+ children, it should be noted.
Major. Yes well , other “major” reasons have to be ,while families do it very tough, they see this horrid Govt squandering THEIR hard earned on their vanity projects , blocking job creating mines, pandering to terrorist migrants and the parasitic indige industry.
Working taxpayer families,you get to the back of the queue and be thankful you have highly educated technocrats like Dr Jim to look after your future. It’s all good.
Spot on, Arky at 5.22pm.
The loony left in government here and overseas proclaims all sorts of radical “virtues”. Judge them not on their words, but on their actions and the consequences of their actions.
The current conflict in the West is between freedom and the tyranny of the fascists in power.
The only brake on the powerful is democracy.
In the USA, the powerful will do whatever electoral cheating is necessary to stay in power.
Australia’s only remaining virtue is that, for all sides of politics, electoral cheating is still frowned upon.
We should remember about the French Revolution also Tom, that as today, they were all lawyers.

At war with their own people like most of the western political class. Again I ask what use are the Windsors now in the yookay?
They gave conservatives the illusion of continuity while everything was systematically moved under their feet.
Yes see what you mean
Charles will see the destruction of the House of Windsor. It will come about as he abandons the basis of the royal Family – the respect of the Commoners.
And frankly, I hope it is soon.
Something I’ve learnt in the last 20 years or so is gubmints don’t create wealth but they sure can destroy it. Productive citizens create wealth. Anal and co have to go and it’s looking like most of my fellow Australians realize this.
Vampires suck.
yeah
Wish I could give you two ticks.
I really can’t understand the mindset of poisonous wreckers like Blabbersack, Giles, Dreyfus, Chestyblond and Anal. They really must hate this country.
And consider such hatred a virtue.
True believers.
They really do hate, not just the country, but everything we have built because we did it at the same time as we rejected Socialism.
And THAT is the ultimate sin.
Nice track. Nice, after many years, also to hear it again!
100% correct Makka- I couldn’t put it better.
Not to mention bought off. In the pay of the CCP, they are.
Traitors.
Keating comes to mind. What an abomination. In more ways than one.
I despised that man.
Keating’s baby, compulsory superannuation, is unique in the Western world and has enabled the Australian Labor Party to abandon the working class to allow unions to become the parasitical overlords of superannuation via super management fees, etc.
Unions no longer need members as they get their cashflow from super.
That means unions are now free to indulge their ideological impulse of breeding and training socialist/communist activists.
Outside of the public service, only 8% of the Australian workforce are now union members.
The ALP now represents only a tiny minority — out there on the lunatic fringe with the Greens.
The current federal government couldn’t give a stuff about the working class, employment and economic growth.
The ALP is now fully committed to toppling capitalism and the free market.
Lunatics like Jim Chalmers now consider themselves the Australian Revolutionary Guard.

This guy is like a windup doll. He has used those phrases at least a dozen times in a soft interview with Clennell.
This weirdo wants a “crack” at the top job. He needs a better scriptwriter.
Clare might be the best of the post R-G-R generation. It ain’t brimming with talent.
And now Clennell has that lying deadsh*t Kean on to spruik his b/s. I bet no questions are asked about the clear conflict of interest.

This in response to the clear conflict of interest between his lobbying role and climate commission jerb. And he hides behind the fig leaf of the previous government.
We see you, you smooth faced grifter.
I suspect not a few people would like to see “eat no meat” Kean strung up on a strong framework before his time is done.

Oh, bollocks you commie clown …
Let me get this straight: I point out that you morphed Cooper into Buchanan, and you’re just sitting there, scratching your head, wondering what my point is? You’ve basically said, “Cooper, Buchanan—same thing,” but you’ve yet to explain why they swapped places!
Known or unknown, it doesn’t change how people react when new info drops. I really hope you’re not about to suggest that everything you know now was common knowledge while history was busy happening. Hitler was out here breaking treaties like a kid breaking curfew, and now you’re supporting Cooper’s contention that he should’ve been trusted with a peace deal? That’s hilarious—what’s next, trusting a fox to watch over a bunch of chooks?
No it doesn’t. It just means the Hiden administration is basically useless and ineffectual.
In totally not surprising news.

Carbon offsets a waste of money that don’t cut emissions, says Fortescue
Despte touting green credentials, Andrew Forrest’s Fortescue no longer considers carbon offsets a worthwhile expense.
Iron ore giant Fortescue will no longer buy voluntary carbon offsets, citing doubts over their effectiveness in cutting emissions, in the latest backlash by an Australian corporate against the booming industry.
“Fortescue will no longer buy voluntary carbon offsets unless required by law, as offsets have been shown to be troubled by extensive concerns about quality, lack of additionality and an inability to deliver real reductions in emissions,’’ the company said in its annual report.
Fortescue’s shift, which has been underway since September last year, mirrors moves by other large corporates such as Telstra, which announced in June it would also stop using offsets in favour of direct action to reduce emissions”.

Sunday night is a media desert if you’re interested in Australian politics.
The Australian hasn’t yet put together its Monday morning line-up but, in any case, the Paywallian has become little more than an Australian politics gossip rag that doesn’t do any of the hard work of breaking stories.
Likewise, Sky News has a succession of weak opinion shows not designed to provide any light on the heat of political argument.
So I’m watching a Rick Stein food doco on Cadiz on the Spanish south coast – one of the few places in Europe I’d like to visit. At least Stein is telling me stuff I don’t know.
Watched a bit of outsiders this morning after zapping Clennell’s tongue bath with Kean, lasted about 10-15mins. Got bored, there’s nothing new that Kenny, Credlin, Bolt or PM hasn’t flogged to death repeatedly during the week.
Sky news plumbed new lows last week had some Pali student on opining the Aussie government should be doing more for his mother trapped in Gaza, what they left out was he has only been here a few months and since arriving has been rabble rousing for the Pali causes and is a pin up boy for The Guardian/Green Left publications.
As for the future of News Ltd I’m not seeing anyone up and coming who I would consider a Blair or younger Bolt or anyone that is likely to startle the horses. None of the younger ones I find engaging, Shari’s good on Israel but that conflict will end.
Personally I think it’s indicative of anything on TV these days. Superficial, vacuous and full of bling or bread for the masses in sport.
Dunno maybe I’m getting jaded.
Watching a re-run of Vera this evening.
Tom, you must go to Cadiz, everything about it is 2000yrs of Mediterranean history. And you must see the cats. They live on the Corniche, an institutional population. Google “Cats Of Cadiz.”
Back when I read the Australian (early Krudd area) there was an obnoxious little column called ‘capital hill’. Smug and odious.
My comment on Pete Smits article, Hydrocarbons are not dispensable” on a separate thread are still in moderation. so I have re-posted my response here in the hope it may be published.Pete if is a good thinker and writer too. He should be cherished. My response:
Pete, I fear that many people don’t know what Hydrocarbons are, and what their importance is to our modern day life. Let’s start small – sneakers, rain hoodies, coverings for mobiles and laptops, synthetic clothing, much of the stuff in your kitchen, microwave components, cell phones, computers etc. Then the big stuff, building materials, fuel for your car, your lawn mower, your power boat, the very road you drive on daily, our defence equipment, satellites and international communications equipment. And don’t forget the many and essential uses in our medical system. From masks to gowns, to cleansing materials to operating equipment and in my case a plastic shunt in my brain that keeps me alive.
Hydrocarbon, any of a class of organic chemical compounds composed only of the elements carbon (C) and hydrogen (H). The carbon atoms join together to form the framework of the compound, and the hydrogen atoms attach to them in many different configurations. Hydrocarbons are the principal constituents of petroleum and natural gas. They serve as fuels and lubricants as well as raw materials for the production of plastics, fibres, rubbers, solvents, explosives, and industrial chemicals.
Oh and I forgot, breast implants, penile implants and lots of other paraphernalia essential to the LGBTQ fraternity.
Long live hydrocarbons!

I think the future of journalism should be citizen journalism. I find the knowledge and insights of people here generally superior to anything I’d read in a paper or hear on TV/Radio.

Did you miss: The ‘casual switcheroo’ is simply a way of focusing on the substance rather than banging on about Cooper.
The points raised by Cooper or Buchanan were known to the principals. There is no ‘new info’ that could have been heeded by them. The further point I’ll leave for an upcoming post.
It does. I know you like to avoid the US’s problems by placing them in the lap of the Dems but they’re owned by them both.

Veterans support group ‘stands ready’ to help roll out royal commission recommendationsJoseph Olbrycht-PalmerNewsWire
Sun, 8 September 2024 11:21AM
A leading veterans support group says it “stands ready” to help implement key recommendations of a major royal commission report into suicides among current and former defence personnel.
The Royal Commision into Defence and Veteran Suicide will hand over its highly anticipated final report to Governor-General Sam Mostyn on Monday.
Little is known about what will be in the document, but Soldier On chief executive Amy Cooper told NewsWire her organisation had worked closely with the commissioners and she was “hopeful”.
She hailed the interim report’s 13 key recommendations as “short and sharp”.
“I think the royal commissioners will likewise be making some good, clear and concise recommendations, and that they expect further momentum and traction from government,” she said.
A mate tells me there are too many Vet’s organisations around now, all with their own agendas and personalities.
Perhaps that’s how Governments like it too divide and conquer.
Apparently the Veteran Act that the other 2 will be rolled into in 2 tears time takes an axe to compo payout and abolishes the Gold Card. Mates lucky as his entitlements will be untouched but boys serving after that date wont be.

Activists hope Plibersek goldmine ban will be good sign in saving Burrup rock artPaul Garvey and Paige Talor

Tanya Plibersek’s decision against the $1bn Blayney goldmine in NSW’s central west has raised hopes inside the campaign to slow or stall Woodside Energy’s multibillion-dollar gas projects on the rock-art rich Burrup using the same cultural heritage laws.
Benjamin Smith, a University of Western Australia professor of archaeology who has long been associated with efforts against the pace of development on the Burrup, told The Australian that the Burrup was home to far more sites of cultural significance than the area protected by the Environment Minister’s decision to knock back a tailings dam proposed as part of Regis Resources’ Blayney gold project.
“[Ms Plibersek’s decision] gave me hope,” Professor Smith said.
“Clearly the Burrup case has vastly more evidence of cultural significance … It’s been put forward as a World Heritage site. No one’s contesting it. So a World Heritage site surely deserves that same level of intervention, probably more.”
A few scratchings on rocks – this is Australia, in the twenty first century…words fail me, the honestly do!
These remnants can be photographed for academic documentation, or even carefully removed to a museum. There is no need to save every one of them.
My word Bruce, have a bit of self respect.

Slowly but surely moves are taking place.
I’m so old I remember when Paul Keating disapproved of such things as the “bottom of the Harbour schemes”. How things have changed for the ruling class, now fleecing the taxpayers for private gain is all the rage.
