King Charles’ letter to John Kerr on Whitlam’s dismissal undermines his integrity
2 hours ago
4 comments
As King Charles arrives in Australia for his first visit here as our head of state, he is yet to address the grave error of judgment he made in supporting the dismissal of Gough Whitlam’s government in a handwritten letter to John Kerr in March 1976.
“Please don’t lose heart,” Charles wrote to Kerr months after Whitlam’s dismissal in November 1975.
“What you did last year was right and the courageous thing to do – and most Australians seemed to endorse your decision when it came to the point.”
This letter, sent without Queen Elizabeth II’s knowledge or approval, is a statement of support for the dismissal by a member of the royal family.
It is an embarrassment to the monarchy and undermines their non-interventionist stance in political affairs, breaching longstanding protocol and convention.
I discovered the letter in Kerr’s papers in the National Archives and it was revealed in The Australian in October 2020, and in The Truth of the Palace Letters (MUP).
It was not vice-regal correspondence released as a result of the High Court case nor was the letter mentioned at all in Jenny Hocking’s book The Palace Letters (Scribe).
The dismissal of the Whitlam government over the failure to secure supply was a convulsive event that divided Australians.
Labor lost the subsequent December 1975 election but polls never showed support for the dismissal.
Kerr terminated the commission of a prime minister who commanded the confidence of the House of Representatives.
He failed to follow Walter Bagehot’s well-known rights of the sovereign: to be consulted, to encourage and to warn. Rather than counsel or warn, the governor-general ambushed Whitlam with a surprise dismissal.
For Charles to step into this controversy and state an emphatic position, knowing he would one day be our king, showed an extraordinary failure of judgment.
The letter does not demonstrate he or anyone else in the royal family knew of or approved the dismissal in advance.
Charles was distant from events. His mother would never do what he did.
Kerr raised potential use of reserve powers to resolve the crisis with the Queen’s private secretary, Martin Charteris. (Paul Hasluck also raised using reserve powers in vice-regal correspondence.)
Charteris warned Kerr days before he acted that these powers should be used “only” for constitutional and not “political reasons” and only “when there is demonstrably no other course”. Charteris and his deputy, William Heseltine, thought Kerr acted prematurely.
Charles compounded the blunder of writing to Kerr by refusing to address it before becoming king. He rejected a request from The Australian to comment on it and, perhaps, recognise his youthful indiscretion.
Of all the utter hogwash, I’ve ever read…..
Makes you almost like Chilla.
Poor old Mavis, like many leftards, just can’t let it go.
Zactly, Kerr did the right thing. The electorate decided.
Never mind that trying to govern without supply breached not only the text of the constitution (no monies may be withdrawn from the consolidated fund except by authority of an act of parliament) but also the basic principles behind parliamentary government.

Arky, you give off some of the strongest divorcee energy on this site, which is saying something, but there no need to make it so obvious.
No you idiot.
I captured the only good one.
It’s all the other blokes I’m campaigning on behalf of.
And for my daughter, in the hope that by the time she is ready to marry all the boys haven’t been completely broken down by the ugly, stupid, vindictive, men hating harridans promulgating this idiotic ideology.
But maybe even worse than the moronic man hating, girl power ideology, is the inevitability of the backlash.
Which won’t come from men in all probability.
It will be driven by the same forces of social proof that drive females on throughout history. They created the brainless consumerism of the 1950s 60s and 70s. Their decisions to co-habit throughout the 70s and 80s created the forces that shaped my youth. Their decisions to pressure politicians in the twenties created prohibition.
Their embrace of green policies has driven the current stupidity.
And when the current situation proves untenable for their desired outcomes, they will drive a predictable social movement to go the other way and start some pseudo religious excuses to persecute those they think are responsible for their misery.
I would prefer they took responsibility now and choose to do the right thing, because men can’t force them, it’s never been ordinary, sensible working blokes who got to create the social norms of the day, that is one of the important roles of chicks, along with knitting, child rearing and homemaking.
You are not making much sense.
Let me make it simple for you.
Men are driven to do what they do in order to get the women. (Scarface).
Women know this.
Hence, women make the social mores of the day.
Arky makes more sense on acid than you do sober, Monty.

You can always rely on Trump to add finesse.
No official confirmation yet – however no end of credible sources saying Sinwar has been sent to hell by the Israelis, though apparently not the grey matter, which they operated on a few years ago.

Not a film buff and never seen the film but this was of interest, looks like the industry had some scruples way back.
———–
During the filming of *Taxi Driver* in 1975, 14-year-old Jodie Foster portrayed the role of Iris, a young girl caught in the grim underbelly of New York City.
The film, directed by Martin Scorsese, delves into complex themes of loneliness and alienation, and Foster’s character is pivotal to the story. However, due to the explicit nature of some scenes, particularly those involving adult themes, Jodie’s older sister, Connie Foster, stepped in to serve as a body double during these moments.
This decision was made to protect Jodie, who was underage at the time, and to adhere to industry standards regarding the portrayal of minors.
Connie Foster’s involvement as a stand-in highlighted the careful consideration taken by the filmmakers to navigate the sensitive aspects of the film.
While Jodie was incredibly talented and delivered a powerful performance, the presence of her sister allowed for the necessary adjustments without compromising the integrity of the scenes. This protective measure ensured that Jodie could focus on her acting while Connie managed the more challenging requirements of the role, allowing for a seamless integration of both sisters’ contributions in the final product.
*Taxi Driver* went on to become a critical success, earning numerous accolades and solidifying Jodie Foster’s reputation as a gifted actress. The film’s impact was felt throughout the industry, and it raised important discussions about the portrayal of youth and the ethical responsibilities of filmmakers.
Jodie Foster’s performance, complemented by the support of her sister, contributed significantly to the film’s enduring legacy, illustrating the complexities of family and the need for safeguarding young talents in the arts.

My pessimism is telling me that Trump will become president but the demoscum will have control of the upper or lower house, thus thwarting him. Thoughts?
I think the Republicans are very aware that they need both the House and the Senate, they know the Presidency by itself is not enough. The judicial appointments too, I reckon the people will kick the dems out.
I think you may have a point.
Unless Trump can make them look so bad with the public, they will succeed in thwarting his programs.

Trump Will Never Make This Mistake Again | Dinesh D’Souza
In this episode of “The Rubin Report,” Dave Rubin interviews Dinesh D’Souza, who shares his evolving views on Donald Trump. Initially skeptical, D’Souza discusses how he came to see Trump as a champion of the marginalized against a backdrop of elite disdain. He argues that Trump underestimated the extent of governmental corruption and institutional betrayal, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. D’Souza suggests that if Trump returns to the presidency, he could correct past mistakes by assembling a broader coalition and bringing in individuals who genuinely aim to reform compromised institutions. **Key Points:** 1. **Initial Skepticism Towards Trump**: – D’Souza and Rubin share their initial hesitations about Trump’s candidacy, focusing on the unclear ideological background and their preference for other candidates like Ted Cruz. 2. **Importance of Trump’s Appeal**: – Trump is seen as a voice for those ignored by the cultural elites, symbolized by his descent down the escalator at Trump Tower. – This action represented a break with the elite and an alignment with the “Pitchfork people.” 3. **Underestimating Government Corruption**: – D’Souza argues that Trump underestimated the widespread corruption in institutions like the CDC and NIH, trusting them during the COVID-19 pandemic. – The choice to prioritize public health led to significant consequences for his presidency. 4. **Lessons from Trump’s First Term**: – The importance of personnel and institutional trust issues in Trump’s administration are emphasized, suggesting that many traditional institutions had become compromised. 5. **Potential for a Second Trump Term**: – D’Souza expresses confidence that Trump could successfully navigate a second term by enlarging his coalition and appointing the right individuals to tackle institutional corruption. 6. **Broadening the Coalition**: – Recognizing figures like RFK Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard, D’Souza suggests that Trump should aim to include diverse voices and perspectives to strengthen his political base. 7. **Restoration vs. Victory**: – Even if Trump wins, D’Souza contends that this would not be the end of the struggle against entrenched powers; rather, it would mark the beginning of a longer restoration process. 8. **Power Dynamics**: – D’Souza speaks to the difficulty of overcoming the entrenched forces that ousted Trump in 2020, highlighting how systemic coordination among institutions can manipulate electoral processes. This discussion centers on the themes of political transformation, institutional trust, and the need for broader political coalitions in contemporary conservative politics.
Sinwar snuffed, Sinwar dead, Sinwar kaput. May he rot in hell.
The Israelis have even released a picture of his dead corpse.
What wonderful, wonderful news to wake up.
And this has vindicated Bibi, after the wholesale disaster and destruction of October 7 2023, after being constantly vilified and undermined by western media and by the current weak American administration, by other pathetic western leaders and politicians including our own grub from Grayndler and Pong, even by his own ideological enemies within Israel, Bibi knew that there can be no ceasefire until Sinwar is kaput, Hamas surrenders and whatever hostages remain alive are returned.
Like Churchill, like Eisenhower, Bibi knows there can only be unconditional surrender.
Bibi is the epitome of…..Fight, Fight, Fight.
I now wait to see the pictures of grief stricken leftist and Muslim Nazi scum across the West mourn their misogynistic racist Jew hating hero.
A few years ago, when he was still imprisoned in Israel, Sinwar the Jew hater’s life was saved a Jew, it is fitting, very fitting, that Sinwar the Jew hater’s life was terminated by a Jew.

O’Neill doesn’t mince words…
It was during a ground operation in Rafah in southern Gaza that the IDF killed three terrorists. One was Sinwar. Rafah, of course, is the city every virtue-signaller in the West told Israel to leave well alone. ‘All eyes on Rafah’ went the social-media cry a few weeks back. Yet it turns out the man who green-lighted the rape, kidnap and slaughter of more than a thousand Jews was there. Listen, if your campaigning entails putting a moral forcefield around a fascist overlord, if it involves the protection of a Jew-killer from the Jews looking for him, then you might not be as virtuous as you think.
Thank God Israel had its eyes on Rafah.

As a former lefty, Brendan O’Neill nails the Jew-hating modern left over its embrace of terrorist Yahya Sinwar:
One of the few voices with a media megaphone who understands the courage and cleverness of the Israel Defence Forces.
Met him at a dinner when he visited Australia recently and had a long chat with him afterwards.
He is the most sincere man ever, and very clever and capable.
He did seem happy though to have our encouragement. We are an active couple of a generation before his. When he bemoaned to us the lack of a centre-right media in Australia we mentioned this site and CL’s to him and hope he comes here occasionally.
Can you imagine an islamic regime performing life saving surgery on any Jew let alone a serial murderer who wishes them only death and destruction?
Yes, it’s remarkable, and goes to the heart of the different world views. Years ago Bob Dylan released a song “Gotta Serve Somebody” which articulated the reality simply and clearly.
I’m not celebrating the horrible man’s death, but it’s a weight off my mind. And it brings the inevitable conclusion a little bit closer, rather than the prolonged misery that many, including our own government, appear to want.

What she’s actually saying here is that the Border Patrol is not entitled to government support. The reason she’s not prepared to actually say anything is that they’re well aware that her real opinion would send people fleeing. That’s why she’s constantly obfuscating.

Shadow of the vampire, Dafoe is great as the vamp.
If you are into that sort of thing,Midnight’s Edge have just redited the original Nosferatu to take the colour corrections of 2 previous re-edits ( the second reintroduced some problems the first corrected) and fixed an obvious error that both missed.
They also did a retrospective…
Nosferatu : https://youtu.be/6CwgYoJkimo?feature=shared
Retrospective: https://youtu.be/a9xI1BErmnU?feature=shared
The retrospective reminded me how much I missed Bill Collins’s commentary before the sunday night movie( and the ‘classic’ sunday night movie)
Dafoe’s greatest performance.
Returning by train to London from Newcastle on my way back to Australia.
Standard class single fares booked online range from $80 ($43 was the very cheapest offered) to $190, depending on time of day, carrier, and the number of carriages the service company decides to put on the train.
Much more if you just rock up to the station to buy a ticket – sometimes double.
Plus, booking doesn’t guarantee a seat or that the service won’t be cancelled (about 10% are dropped, with no notice, for ‘logistical reasons’).
As with the main highways (essentially joined up roadworks) travel in the UK is an expensive and unreliable nightmare.
As is pretty much every public service.
I haven’t been elsewhere in Europe this trip, but things must be pretty dismal if the UK is the destination of choice for country shoppers.
Perhaps it’s the welcome mat.
I took a pre- paid $33 Newcastle to London back in 2013 so the cheapest hasn’t gone up by much … it was the standard seat so no idea what you get for more bucks .. & being just over a 3 hours trip can’t see any advantage to expensive seating ……….
Important .. Did you visit Gateshead? my home town ……!
Poms regard a 100km trip as a major undertaking.

Last week’s talking points:- “It is futile to attempt to kill the leadership of Hamarse/Hez-ball-less. For every one they kill, there are ten to replace them“.
This week:- “OK. So all the Hamarse/Hez-ball-less leadership is dead. Continuing on with the war now would be nothing more than a land-grab”.

Get them in 10 days time, enough time to celebrate the US elections.
I’ll let you know what they’re like.
The Gazans mourning and regretting the demolition of Sinwar confirms my thoughts that there are plenty of pro-Hamas people being portrayed as innocent civilians. One said “who will negotiate for us now?”
Easy, he just said no, repeatedly.
A drop in the bucket to make it look like the government is ‘tough’ on the scum who celebrate the slaughter.
It will have NO effect on the Muslims – they know what game is being played – theirs.
So global worming is NOT a fraud?
He’s a politician, not a truth teller.
Chris, he’s saying that the AGW Theory is being used as an excuse to put tariffs against our goods.
He’s aware of the game and the way it’s being played. He’s a smart politician, not a demagogue.
indeed. In fact a cynic could say that the whole zeitgeist is a vehicle for the EU to impose non tariff barriers to imports from other developed countries, and raise the cost of production in more competitive and more powerful countries to give a leg up to the EU. Ever since Kyoto where the choice of the reference year of 1990 gave newly merged EU with the east an instant economic leg up. Mainly targeting the USA of course, with countries like little old Oz merely collateral damage.
Probably the best and clearest statement by the Coalition to date:
Anthropogenic global worming as panty-bunched is a fraud (and a pisstake by certain ‘developing nations’). However, until the experiential learning is done by our trading partners, there is solid commercial support for Dutton’s observation:
Realpolitik rather than realscience.
Yes.
The reason Morrison capitulated at Glasgow was that we were being threatened with sanctions by the US & EU.
… and as with the Wuhan Flu, a patriotic Government would quietly search and plan for a way to obtain reparations.
Indubitably.
Labour’s kiboshing of Sunak’s Rwandan offshore processing plan (which the Germans are reportedly now considering) effectively means the UK is one of the few European countries where irregular arrivals can hope to stay indefinitely and receive housing and income support.

Negotiations? Lots of people don’t understand 100% of nothing is not winning. Exactly the same as the Gangreens, 100% renewables yesterday, with absolutely no idea of the consequences. They screw up their nose at 5% improvement. Muzzies are generally uneducated. They learn to read by quran as an instruction book. Nothing to comprehend, follow blindly.

‘Sinwar died alone wrapped in blankets like a rheumatic housewife’: Jewish body
Australia’s peak Jewish organisation has welcomed the news of Yahya Sinwar‘s death, saying the terrorist had been “wrapped in blankets like a rheumatic housewife.”
Executive Council of Australian Jewry co-chief executive Alex Ryvchin said Sinwar planned the October 7 atrocities to ignite the world against Israel politically, economically and militarily.
“Today, Sinwar died alone wrapped in blankets like a rheumatic housewife,” Mr Ryvchin said.
“Hamas is reduced to small batches of terrorists incapable of waging war or ruling Gaza. Only Hezbollah materially joined the Hamas war and its leader is also dead.
“Everything has been laid bare and peace now beckons.

I never liked Katherine Hepburn until I saw her in this many years ago. I firt saw it as a kid. I was dragged along to all the movies by my parents. Did me good.

The difficulty of stopping and reversing all this nonsense is made all the greater by the international trade dimension to it. It’s not just a case of fixing things in our own country.
Thanks for nothing Howard (RET) and Turnbull (Paris?).
How to stop the nonsense?
Howard did Paris, introduced the legislation to stop nuclear and did the RET. This is why that despicable little turd is Australia’s worst PM ever.
I’ve heard this argument from some Libs particularly “moderates”. It ignores the fact the two thirds of the world don’t give a stuff. The Germans and Poles are currently falling over themselves to buy Russian gas and oil. So much for sanctions. The truth is we no longer make stuff thats exported to the EU or the UK or US except stuff they really need like uranium, lithium, coal and gas. We import far more from the EU. If they stuck tarriffs on our product we can return the favour and it would hurt them more.
This argument that we are forced to reduce CO2 is crap.
I almost more offended by the sloppy language.Given that we are carbon based life forms and everything around us is based on carbon how the hell do we de carbonise?
We’re a small player.
We have to wait for the US & EU to see the light.
Either that or join BRICS.
(That should stir up some debate!)
I’m grateful that it now more possible that the hostages might be released and that might be peace in Gaza but I can’t celebrate the death of anyone, no matter how wicked.
Wise words. I will go to synagogue tonight and no doubt the rabbi will remind us that whilst it is good Sinwar is with Allah and the virgins, we Jews do not and should not celebrate the deaths of our enemies.
As for
These people have convinced themselves evil is good and now face reality, what will it take for muslims to see that they are member of a human sacrifice death cult?
Indeed, I just don’t know. The problem is a weak West, weakness empowers evil. We are reaping what we have sowed over the last few decades where everything has been politicised and debased by the Nazi far-left.
I believe Israel has intelligence that most of the hostages are now dead. But that won’t stop Israel. We need to retrieve every Jewish body, so that they can have a Jewish funeral and their souls can be at peace. Israel will not stop. Bibi will not stop.
By the way, where is our Nazi this morning? No doubt mourning Sinwar.

Lies, damned lies, and greenwashing…
Electricity from the UK’s largest solar panel array in Kent, approved on the basis of a social license claim that it would power 100 000 homes, has been contracted to corporate giants Tesco & Shell.
The most remarkable thing about the scum sinwar’s death is that the grub was treated and cured of an aggressive brain cancer in an Israeli hospital in 2008. He was subsequently captured after being involved in terrorist attacks and released in a prisoner exchange in 2011 with another 1000 hamas grubs for one Israeli soldier, Gilad Shalit.
What a horrible thing for the Israelis after 2011 when hamas then knew they had great leverage from taking Israeli prisoners.
I still think the Israelis should nuke the pallis, hezbellah and the iranian mullahs. You’re never going to have any peace with these mongrels running around.
Just turned on Sky news.
Who the F is Rusty Bowers and why is a former politician of a minor US state having a go at Trump even newsworthy in Oz?
Notice Albo’s Pork Barrelling of the windy road from Terrigal to Copacabana has been dropped.
Ex Speaker of Arizona’s House of Representatives. He claims that Trump, in the wake of the compromised 2020 election, tried to persuade him to cancel the state’s electors. He refused as the move would be unconstitutional.
If what he says is true, then he is in the right.
He is also refusing to vote for Harris.
Thanks Calli.
Still don’t think its newsworthy outside of the US unless Sky reaffirming its TDS credentials.
More going on here with this s show of a Government. Albo is apparently snubbing the inauguration of the new Indo President and it hasn’t gone down well with some foreign affairs writers.
Yes. Anneliese is hunting around for anyone with a scrap of dirt on Trump. This guy has a spadeful, but it’s all about he said/she said and involves the intricacies of constitutional legality.
All it meant to me was that Trump tried every method at his disposal post 2020 to no avail. Bowers described the aftermath and its repercussions on him, with armed stakeouts of his home and other types of intimidation.
Not America’s finest hour.
And that continues to this day, with the successful party lawfaring anyone in their way, including the hapless caught up in January 6, held without trial and imprisoned on very specious grounds. I hope Trump wins, if only to have these political prisoners released.
And, should he win, be prepared for the sore losers to attempt to burn the country to the ground again. They have shown exactly what they’re like…something for Mr Bowers to ponder upon also.
So the other residents of the area will have to forego that amenity because it was a bad look for Albanese, even though it was overdue.
It’s all about him, isn’t it?

It’s not the time for cease fire but for Hamas, their supporters and fellow travellers to surrender and release the hostages. That is how this conflict must end. Ceasefire would have let Sinwar prevail. He has gone the way of Bin Laden.

Sinwar’s body guard worked for the UN. What a joke of a world we live in.
I also think that this is why Bibi and many other Israelis are giving the middle finger to the UN and the Jew hating West, of which I include the grub from Grayndler, Strap on Pong, Burqa, the wolf in sheep’s clothing Husic, the Australian Nazi party (aka the Greens) and all the rest of the far-left scum.

Early morning coffee and Paul Ham’s book on Australia in Vietnam.
By 1967, (Phouc Tuy) province seemed secure. Elections held for presidency of South Vietnam were free and fair, with 91% of voters in Phouc Tuy turning out to vote.
“The National Liberation Front responded with more terror. In Phouc Tuy, women and children were the victims of shocking attacks. Five children died of horrific wounds sustained during an M16 mine attack, in retribution for their parents accepting Australian medical and dental aid: two civilians were found, face down, dead, on a road in Hoa Long, their hands bound with wire – punishment for having accepted Australian aid. They were two of thousands of examples of examples of the methods of an enemy bound by no rules of engagement and no military law, for whom civilians were expendable, For Hanoi, a Marxist victory over South Vietnam justified any act of terror. This was the regime to which Western peace groups donated money, medical aid and “moral support.” (Page 333.)
And who Western peace groups regarded as a bunch of gallant Robin Hoods, fighting for their independence, in the face of the Yankee imperialists..
And who are currently supporting Hamas rapists and baby murderers.
Quite an apt comparison.

Henry broke from Rome’s authority but he didn’t separate church and state. To this day the CofE is a “state church”, although the church has much more autonomy than it did in Henry’s day.
In Henry’s day, disagreement with his (ever-shifting) religious views – and his views on anything else – meant hanging, drawing and quartering.
A young Prince Albert (later King George V & Elizabeth’s father) came bottom of his class at the naval academy.
He was, however, mentioned in dispatches at the Battle of Jutland, in which he served as a turret officer and only narrowly avoided being hit by a German shell.

Megan Davis, Australians have spoken. Respect their verdict
The Mocker
The first-year anniversary of the voice referendum is upon us, and it would not hurt to begin this week’s column on a positive note. Accordingly, I would like to acknowledge and pay my respects to the framers of our constitution.
I pay tribute to their wisdom and foresight and thank them for their wonderful gift. I also acknowledge our constitution is the supreme instrument of sovereignty in this country. In addition, I extend my respects to the founding fathers’ descendants, past, present and emerging.
Our country is not only a longstanding democracy. It is also one of the most stable nations in the world. And it is no mere coincidence the constitution which ensured this is one that cannot be amended at whim.
If you propose to change it, you must bring the country with you. If you fail to do so, you have two choices. You can state for the record that Australians have spoken and that you respect their verdict. That is the sensible and dignified option, particularly if your case for change was so unconvincing you failed even to carry a single state.
Alternatively, you can screech incessantly and insist that sinister forces conspired to nobble your campaign. To do so, even spontaneously, is both unedifying and embarrassing. Imagine how much more ridiculous you would appear if you still persisted with this behaviour a year down the track.
That brings me to Professor Megan Davis, Referendum Working Group member, Cobble Cobble woman, and University of NSW pro-vice chancellor. As reported last week, she has called for misinformation legislation to protect future referendums from the “Trumpian” lies she claims thwarted the voice campaign.
“We want freedom of speech, but we need to balance that with upholding principles of democracy and democratic rights,” she told a UNSW audience.
I understand perfectly well, Megan Davis. There is no better way of upholding principles of democracy and democratic rights than by deplatforming and muzzling those you personally deem to have spread misinformation. I would go even further and say it would be misinformation to claim your proposal is undemocratic. In no way does it curtail or infringe the rights of those who agree with everything you say.
Davis’s argument is not an academic rationale, but that of an activist. What passes for logic is a flawed syllogism. First premise: The only thing that can prevent a noble and justified referendum proposal from succeeding is Trumpian misinformation.
Second premise: The voice was a noble and justified proposal that did not succeed. Conclusion: The voice campaign failed due to Trumpian misinformation.
If you think I am exaggerating, consider a few examples of what Davis posted on her X account during the referendum campaign. She rubbished the claim the voice was “divisive”, saying it was a “Trumpian tactic” employed by the No campaign.
So too was political commentator Michelle Grattan’s “gloves off” metaphor that characterised the robust exchanges between Shadow Indigenous Australians minister Jacinta Nampijinpa Price and Referendum Working Group member Marcia Langton. “This ‘both sides’ reductionism is Trumpian,” protested Davis.
Liberal senator Matt O’Sullivan had also disseminated “Noalition misinformation”, said Davis. His sin? He observed the Albanese government had not endorsed a model of the voice.
Likewise national security think-tank Australia Defence Association incurred Davis’s reprimand. It had pointed out even left-wing academics had said the wording of the referendum question raised concerns about justiciability. “Don’t spread misinformation,” responded Davis curtly.
You get the picture. “The entire ‘No’ case is based on misinformation,” Davis proclaimed. Her robotic responses vindicate constitutional scholar and Referendum Working Group member Greg Craven.
“Large swathes of the Yes campaign were obsessed with the idea of misinformation and disinformation,” he wrote last week. They “would characterise any contrary argument as misinformation or disinformation,” thus building the case that those responsible “should be effectively banned from the referendum.”
It say a lot about Davis’s skills as an advocate, or lack thereof. To see her let loose in a courtroom would be a cringeworthy spectacle. Judge: “Ms Davis, what are your grounds for appeal?” Davis: “Your Honour, everything the other side said is Trumpian disinformation.” Judge: “What is your basis for that claim?” Davis: “Your Honour, that is exactly what Trump would say!”
Writing in Guardian Australia last week regarding the referendum, Davis was oblivious to spreading a little misinformation of her own. This concerned the argument the electorate’s rejection of the proposal extended to treaties and welcome to country ceremonies.
“The republic movement lost at referendum to an even greater degree than the voice but there is no public discourse as to its evisceration from Australian aspirations for future structural change,” she said.
This is nonsense, and I am not just referring to the turgid prose. Like the voice, the republic referendum was resoundingly defeated, but it fared better. Around 45.13 per cent of Australians voted for a republic as opposed to the 39.94 per cent who voted for the voice.
This is not Davis’s only own goal. She claimed she had come across the beginnings of a misinformation campaign against the voice in November 2022 and that she had lobbied the Albanese government to legislate against it.
“I’ve had a lot of contact from Queenslander mob … who are saying the Queensland Electoral Commission put out all of these ads about misinformation so that Queenslanders can distinguish between what is fact and what is not,” she said. “We’d asked for that”.
In other words, Queenslanders, thanks to Davis’s lobbying, were far better equipped to distinguish between fact and fiction in deciding how to vote. But this puts a big hole in Davis’s conspiracy theory. Queensland, of all the states and territories, recorded the biggest percentage of No voters in the referendum.
Notably, Davis relies entirely on isolated and anecdotal accounts of misinformation to justify her calls to introduce sweeping legislation. Given the absence of any credible empirical studies to corroborate her demands, her agenda is one of punitive revisionism.
That said, I do not think Davis should be silenced, as she would her critics. We should welcome the opportunity to expose the shallowness of her arguments. Trumpian disinformation, you say? The word you are looking for is ‘projection’, professor.

Comments: WEB – Hysterical Fake Tough Guy Dave Bautista Makes Pitch to Men: Trump Is Not a Tough Guy (breitbart.com)
Nice pearls. Stop clutching at them and they’ll last longer. 😀
Bautista these days, looks like he is channeling Karl Lagerfeld.
As with the main highways (essentially joined up roadworks) travel in the UK is an expensive and unreliable nightmare.
Had to drive Warwick – Byron Bay on Wednesday via Killarney -Kyogle-Lismore. Lost count of the number of roadworks but must have been about 27.
Australia now has a RoadWORKS network not a Road network.
I think this is all part of the plot to keep us all at home.
If we built the roads to a higher spec in the first place they wouldn’t need so much repair.
I spoke to a road engineer a few years ago out Wilcannia way. He said there’s more money for repairs than there is for construction so they cut every corner they can on the original, even if it means the surface starts to break up after a year. They make it up doing repairs.
Yesterday we did Stanthorpe, Clifton, Gatton , Esk, Maleny , home. Same thing.
The day before coming up the New England ( as part of Cooma – Tamworth – Stanthorpe) run. Very similar.
Funnily enough the day before Traralgon – Cooma no roadworks, but lots of reduced speed because of ‘traffic hazards’ ( read potholes and cracking pavement)
Proserpine to Gumlu south of Ayr about 80km is one giant roadworks zone. I’m told south of Rocky it gets worse.
From ol’ ‘fred: “Looks like sending the apprentice to the shop for a metric shifting spanner is not on:”
Friend of mine got asked for “striped paint”, so he told the guy to wait.
Took lid off paint tin, allowed skin to form.
Put tint on skin in stripes.
Refit lid.
Tell guy to be very careful to keep tin upright and not shake it etc.
Epic response from those who sent someone for “striped paint” and actually got it! 🙂
Nor even a radiation hose for a Volkswagen engine?
As a rouseabout, I got sent to the boss for a wrinkle stretcher.
I was made to stand in for the storeman – one guy asked me to get him a “long weight”. I spent ages panicking as I searched the store in vain for the item he described.
Finally admitted my failure, he laughed, told me he’d had a long wait which would do nicely!
Get me some black and white ink from officeworks please.

Once it goes on your chart it is Gospel.
I had a bit of minor slice ‘n dice earlier this year and for some reason someone entered atrial fibrillation on my chart (which I do not have).
Two days wired up in Cardiac ICU until my surgeon – a man not to be f-cked with – came in Monday and announced loudly “He doesn’t have AF. Move him to the general ward”.
They tried to give me a prescription drug which the surgeon had withdrawn because he thought it might be contributing to another problem.
I refused.
“But it’s on your chart”.
“Ask Mr Jones (the surgeon)”
We decided to have another look rather than front the formidable Mr Jones.
“Oh, yes, here it is. Wasn’t carried forward from the previous chart.”
Nephew was seeing several different specialists, each one prescribed him drugs without reference to the other specialists. They just about killed him. Just as well he’s an ED nurse. When he was here on Wednesday with my sister he told me about his girlfriend of many years. She also is an ED nurse. She is in a new medical management team which is made up of academics. The boss is doing a PHD and continually stuffs up due to no practical knowledge. Girlfriend was brought in fix the problem. Remember when the Head Physician and the Matron ran hospitals. Now its the CEO and the minions who are more numerous than doctors and nurses.
Girlfriend is there for six weeks then its back to chaos.
Re Rosie’s link to Cenk Uygar earlier today “Now you’ve killed all the leaders it is just a land-grab if it continues”.
Scratch the surface of this and you unearth his main fear.
That Israel will have supervision of Gaza and the activists at UNWRA won’t get a look in.

Afghan Migrants Face Deepening Despair as Iran Intensifies Deportations – The Diplomat

Today I experienced my first Wensley’s pork pie. Almost, almost, as good as a proper pommy pork pie. Nine out of ten.
I had one 40 years ago at a pub in Vic Park, Perth. The chef was a pom. Never had a pork pie before nor since as good. A completely different level.
Vic Park Central has a pie shop with OUTSTANDING pies. I loved eating them when I worked in the area years ago and I went back to check last week and they are still awesome.
And the lovely Chinese lady serving hands the pie and then your change in two hands with great courtesy!
‘Honour enough’: Pezzullo responds to being stripped of Order of Australia
Former Home Affairs boss Mike Pezzullo says serving in one of the top jobs in the public service for more than three decades was “honour enough”, following revelations the governor general had stripped him of his Order of Australia.
Mr Pezzullo was fired as Home Affairs secretary last year following the release of WhatsApp messages that showed he had expressed strong views on potential ministerial appointments to Liberal powerbrokers.
In a statement on Friday afternoon, Mr Pezzullo being stripped of the Order of Australia honour did not “amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world”.
“Those who recommend and make these decisions believe presumably that it is a just and fair one,” he said.
“With wars underway around the world, and more likely to break out, possibly in the Pacific, with rising intolerance and anger in public debate, with many people struggling to make ends meet, and many other problems besides, being stripped of my official honour does not amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world.”
Mr Pezzullo urged for people to focus on “far more pressing and serious matters” than his loss of the Order of Australia.
“In any event, I was blessed over 37 years to be able to work with, and eventually lead, so many patriotic, talented, and largely unknown Australians who work day and night to keep us safe,” he said.
“That was honour enough for me.”

I didn’t have the heart to suggest her father was not a gentileman.

Today was a perfect day. Perfect in the glorious Sydney weather and perfect in bringing together my two eldest sons with their visiting ‘cousin’ who is also their age, all of them fifty or approaching it. During their childhood this ‘cousin’ often stayed with me during my time as a single parent, and visited us later too. He father, with whom she resided for school holidays and at other times when not at boarding school, was a man of temper, troubled by alcohol and mental illness. He would arrive at my door, often late at night after a fight, stabbed, bleeding, bruised or just fed up, and thrust his daughter in my arms and I would take over. My place and my boys meant safety. She’d settle in immediately and they loved her as a sister. They have all been all damaged in some way by circumstances then and later, but the three share a deep affection for each other. We’ve kept in touch although she married an American and has two teenage children herself now. On this trip she came without her children.
I took the three of them to a lunch at Watsons Bay Hotel in the beer garden, with gun-barrel views down to the Manhattan-style skyline that is now Sydney’s CBD. We walked down from our place and afterwards walked around to Camp Cove with its redolent history of Sydney’s first days. Sydneysiders were out in force sunning themselves while children played. The day was filled with the scent of Jasmine, the Bourgainvillia’s wild efflorescence, and the busyness of birds, birds everywhere. We covered a lot of ground from past and present times, in the easy way that family members can have, often with considerable hilarity at memories long-forgotten and now shared again. As I watched the three of them from my seat on the steps to the sand, their shoes off and pants rolled up, paddling in the shallows near the rocks and squealing as they prodded Conjevoi to make them squirt and shared opinions and secrets, they could have been three twelve year olds again, doing together what they always did, out and about in bushland or on the rocks at the beach.
A small warp in the weft of time on one perfect day.
A lovely day, Lizzie.
Thankyou Lizzie for taking us with you. I could almost smell the sea air.

The Bad Roads – Blue Girl
What is with the ALP and stadiums. They promising to not just one but two in Mackay…
The only semi-prominent sports team I know of there is the Canecutters RL team which is in the Qld Cup but the stadium there is good enough for the level played there, unsure where the other stadium is though.
Our American guest lives in Portland, which has been traditionally Democrat country, blue as blue, and I had thought them both Democrats at our last meeting. Now though she tells me they are both ‘leaning Republican’, and it turns out they’re really red hot Trump fans, because their beloved city of Portland is wrecked beyond belief with drugs and welfare slackness and nothing works any more. She had heard of JD Vance, good things, but had never seen him and knew nothing of his history. Tonight we’ll watch together the movie movie made of his book, which has prompted Hairy to tune the other TV for his favorite sports so he won’t have to watch it for a third time.
This woman, who is like another daughter for me, works part-time as a teacher in a Portland school. Last night she described in detail the terror of a recent school-shooting at her school, where the staff all flew into training mode. I was literally throwing some of those kids back into the classroom, she said, where they did as per the shooting lockdown protocol and hid behind upturned furniture. She had difficulty stopping some of the kids taking video of the SWAT team outside in action. She is in despair at the state of education in the US. She teaches math (Calculus) but is sometimes asked to teach entirely away from her skill set, e.g. in modern history, where she says she knows enough to make do in a class where some kids are so wild they break furniture and throw paint on the floors as attention-seeking. I once had to teach some of that gender nonsense or lose my job, she spits out, saying she managed to tone it down somewhat in the class. Kids, her kids anyway, come home from school now making faces about what they have to sit and listen to. There’s no real education, she concludes. They need some discipline and responsiblity, she adds then, grimly.
America is thoroughly broken, it’s f’d, she announces on arrival in no uncertain terms. If Trump loses, it’s finished, she tells us. We agree, pleased our house guest is such an easy guest for us, politically. I love Rita, can we put on Sky News? she asks, to our delight, as we realise our TV watching is not going to be curtailed for the duration of her stay. She’s a fairly no-nonsense person, product herself of a background where she knows the score about achieving in spite of setbacks. It surprised me she knew so little of JD Vance’s story.
The US MSM would not spruik his story, it doesn’t fit the narrative.
Lizzie, unfortunately our recent American guests (from Seattle) were incorrigible Democrats. But they also are in despair re their country & would love to emigrate to Oz – but are considered too old to be new citizens – although only in their 50s & 60s.
It’s amazing how some of them never connect the dots re the Democrats and the failure of the schooling and welfare system. It seems now they are just blindly hoping for some sort of change under Kamala. One which JD’s eviseration of her latest intereview suggests that she will be completely unable to produce.
It is clear she is simply a mouthpiece for Obama, who gifted us Iran and its possible nuclear weapons.
America is thoroughly broken, it’s f’d, she announces
No, it is not though some states are such as California, Washington, Illinois and Oregon. These will need to be ostracised by other states so they can get back to civilisation.
So many promises being made why not throw in Gladiators as well. Could be a 2nd career path for NRL players.
“What is with the ALP and stadiums. They promising to not just one but two in Mackay…”
Yup we already have the circus and the bread with 50c fares/cut price rego is already handed out.

You are only Jewish if your mother is Jewish, and her mother is Jewish and so on, or by undergoing an Orthodox Halachic conversion.
Victoria Starmer’s father was Jewish whilst her mother ‘converted’ through a reform congregation. I do not regard Victoria Starmer as Jewish.
Judaism does not proselytise however it welcomes sincere converts.
Thanks Cassie.
There are many men and women who are actually Halachically Jewish but aren’t Jewish, in that they’re Catholic or Protestant…….Nick Greiner and Archbishop Anthony Fisher are two who come to mind.
And Malcolm Fraser, I think?

Dan Andrews to head youth mental health service
Former Victorian premier Daniel Andrews has been appointed to chair youth mental health service, Orygen.
Mr Andrews told the Herald Sun he was “incredibly proud” to be taking up the role, adding it was a “pivotal time for youth mental health in Australia and globally”.
Orygen is the largest translational mental health research organisation in Australia and the largest clinical research organisation focused on youth mental health in the world.
The board of directors appointed Mr Andrews to fill the position for a three-year term.
“Orygen is one of Australia’s most important organisations, with a bold vision for all young people to enjoy the very best mental health as they grow into adulthood,” Mr Andrews said.
“It will be an honour to work closely with executive director Professor Patrick McGorry and help him realise that vision through Orygen’s groundbreaking research, knowledge translation, advocacy, workforce development and clinical care.”
Sounds like a fallback job. No-one else wants the toxic bestard.Even this mob have got him on a fixed term.
Payback for increasing their clientele as a result of the lockdown ?
Or am I too cynical?
Reward for getting the numbers up.
Now on my Never Donate list.
How do you measure the mental health of a teenage boy colliding with a Ford Territory?
But your Honour my client is committed to helping young people and therefore deserving of leniency. He is ultimately an upstanding citizen. The community has erected a statue of him blah,blah,blah.
Nothing involving that man happens by coincidence and its always about Dan.
Gaddafi was also halachically Jewish.
A very wise rule that one, you can always be sure who your mother was.
Your father?

David Starkey: Tony Blair Destroyed the Old Britain

One of the most revered and beloved women in Jewish history was a convert. Her name was Ruth, the great-grandmother of King David.
Ruth was a Moabite woman who married a Judean named Mahlon. Upon his death she became a widow who chose to accompany her mother-in-law, Naomi into Judah. Whilst Naomi protested the decision, Ruth persists and perseveres. Ruth pledges her absolute loyalty, even unto death, to Naomi, her people, and her god Hashem.
Our dear 90+ Jewish lady at our coffee shop is a “Ruth”.
Ruth 1:16-17 New Living Translation (NLT)
Wherever you go, I will go; wherever you live, I will live. Your people will be my people, and your God will be my God. Wherever you die, I will die, and there I will be buried. May the LORD punish me severely if I allow anything but death to separate us!”
“”Whither thou goest, I shall go; thy people shall be my people; and I shall dwell in the House of the Lord forever”
I learned these words (may not be accurate) when I was around eleven years old in England at Sunday School, where they taught us all of the Old Testament stories.
It always stood for me as a parable of marriage and its commitments to a man to be a part of his family.
And an ancestor of Jesus.
Lizzie I could almost feel the sunny warmth and smell of the sea — thanks for that little vignette – beautifully written as always.
You are very kind, Tinta. Sometimes the mood just takes me .. today the three of them have met in town to go to the Art Gallery of NSW. All three of them like art and have pretty good perceptions of it. My second son, who has a serious drug problem (for which yesterday acted like some sort of familial ‘intervention’) was said by his teachers to be gifted in both art and in the sciences. He is strong leadership material, one of them said to me.
I sometimes wonder how many times a heart can break over a child.
I think though that it is countless.
Grotesque.
Former Victorian premier Daniel Andrews has been appointed as the new chair of youth mental health research organisation, Orygen.
Mr Andrews was appointed by the Board of Directors to fill the position for a three-year term.
Orygen was established more than 30 years ago and is one of the largest mental health research organisation in Australia, with a focus on youth mental health.
Mr Andrews was premier of Victoria from 2014 and 2023.
He was the state’s health minister between 2007 and 2010 and party leader when Labor was in opposition from 2010 until taking back government in 2014.
Orygen’s executive director Patrick McGorry said Mr Andrews was a significant mental health advocate throughout his time in politics, crediting him with establishing the Royal Commission into Victoria’s Mental Health System and helping to fund the development of Orygen’s Parkville site in Melbourne’s biomedical precinct.
“With 20 years of leadership in mental health reform, Dan Andrews will be an outstanding leader for Orygen and the field of youth mental health,” Professor McGorry said.
Libel laws constrain me from saying what I think about this.
