Having a teenage daughter, one of the major problems is they have no effective disciplinary methods. time outs and having their devices banned seem to have no effect, they sit there and day dream. social media is an enabler of the worst toxic female tendencies. what they need strong deterrents like a belt across the butt.
schools need to bring back the cane.
Quite possibly.
But one of the upshots of the inquiry report is that the extreme measures used during covid – state border closures, de facto vaccine mandates and lockdowns – are now permanently off the table.

Half a century ago corporal punishment was dealt out by sadists and weak teachers on boys, up until we were big enough to say ‘No, you’re not doing that to me’.

Opposition Senate Leader Simon Birmingham says Anthony Albanese must declare whether he acted “on behalf of Qantas” during the government’s recent decision not to allow more Qatar Airways flights into Australia.
This comes amid mounting pressure on the Prime Minister about his relationship with former Qantas chief executive Alan Joyce. Mr Albanese has repeatedly dodged questions on whether he solicited free flight upgrades in direct communications with Mr Joyce.
“Here’s a question Anthony Albanese should answer today – did he or his office ever engage with the Transport Minister or her office on the Qatar flights decision?” Senator Birmingham told Sky News.
“Did, in fact, he exercise his prime ministerial authority or his office do so on his behalf to interfere to protect Qantas and to ensure that Australian aviation customers were given less choice and greater costs?
“Because that’s what this all comes down to.
“If you’re having a debate about indeed the influence, it is also whether that influence was used and exerted by the Prime Minister in terms of protecting, potentially, Qantas’ interests and he’s never given a straight answer on that. That’s really where he should be pressed to give a direct answer. Did he ever actually act, as Prime Minister, recently on behalf of Qantas?”

That may be the case in terms of nailing Albanese in parliament, but in the public’s mind the issue is an apparently long-standing pattern of behaviour that goes to Albanese’s character and fitness for office, which they’ll have the opportunity to vote on if he leads Labor to the next election.

Corporal punishment.
I got caned quite a bit.
I object to the times it was done over stupid “procedural” crap or minor classroom infractions.
Getting belted because you forgot to show up for such or such fatigue because your socks were down, bullshit.
Or because some boring xunt of a teacher felt his grip loosening over a class and happened to turn around while you were talking to a mate. Weak pricks.
But the time I physically bullied a smaller kid, got warned, then did it again? That punishment was deserved. And it hurt too.
But the effect on me and most of my mates was: we left and got a trade.
As for the modern classroom, not much has changed. The useless and weak pricks without a grasp of what they are supposed to teach or any idea of how to hold another human being’s attention deal out punishments. But today the punishment is in some cases worse: long boring lectures and meetings with “team leaders” full of all the current jargon and insincere psycho babble.
And the “bad” kids still don’t give a f*ck, are on track to leave early after disrupting everyone else’s lives and take punishments as a badge of honour.
Nothing really changes.
I taught for twenty years. I could not imagine taking to even the most annoying kid with a cane or a strap, and am totally bemused about what could possibly have been going through the brains of the idiots who used to do that to us when we were nine or thirteen. It’s frankly incomprehensible.

Moreover, heavy restrictions (on dual citizenship, welfare for multiple families, honour killings, child forced marriages, inflammatory sermons, taking over streets for worship, no-go zones, etc etc) should be imposed (and rigorously enforced) on those already resident here. And if they don’t like it, they can leave forthwith.
All we need now are politicians with a backbone to urgently do something about this festering cancer. (/sarc)

There was some corporal punishment at my Catholic primary school but zero at my girls Catholic secondary school.
The boys schools used the cane though
The only teachers who dished it out at the primary school were female married lay teachers, never the nuns.
Parents knew whether or not the teachers at the schools they sent their children to hit children if they didn’t condone it, the children wouldn’t be there.
Corporal punishment was also used in state schools. The Beaumaris enquiry stated primary school children were belted, caned, strapped, even kicked by male teachers.

The subtext for the creation of a CDC is that any future pandemic response must be taken out of the hands of state premiers and their incompetent lickspittle health advisers.
No! No! No! Roger.
The creation of the CDC is an attempt to ENTRENCH the “incompetent lickspittle health advisers”. I have been talking to my friend (retired research company CEO) who was a vociferous opponent of the government handling of the pandemic and is currently a member of the AMPS – the society of medicos trying to get justice for the vaccine injured and a change in understanding of Covid. The cabal who has put out this report even have a CEO in mind for the job and we wont like who it is!
The key to understanding this ploy is to look at the CDC in the US. It was hand-in-hand with Big Pharma. I have not yet read the whole of the report – but from what I understand it is designed to put the blame for the worst of the policies to the Morrison government. Lockdowns etc will not happen again. But don’t think that mRNA vaccines will be withdrawn – I believe that the bureacrats will attempt to convince whatever government is in power to adopt the WHO mandates in the event of future pandemics.

Cut in two, round Gladstone north. That way Queensland could have the Ag and NQ the mining. As for as a port Townsville could be expanded just need a shedload of dredging the sand flats south of Ross creek mouth. Airports, 2 international rated ones with again Townsville and Cairns. Cairns currently runs most of the commonwealth bureaucracy and Townsville the present Queensland state. Everything’s there just within the state framework atm.
No effing way to absorbing the territory, that would just set up another perpetually left dominated state and there’s enough of those now.

But why has the CPI increased at a reduced rate in the September Quarter, from 1% increase to 0.2% increase.
Behold:
Electricity prices fell 17.3 per cent in the September quarter; “The introduction of the 2024-25 Commonwealth Energy Bill Relief Fund (EBRF) rebates and State government rebates in Queensland, Western Australian and Tasmania from July drove the fall this quarter.”
Transport: “The main contributors to the fall were Automotive fuel (-6.7%), Motor vehicles (-0.8%) and Urban transport fares (-2.1%). Urban transport fares fell (-2.1%) due to cheaper or free public transport initiatives by state and territory governments. Initiatives effective within the September quarter 2024 were Brisbane with 50-cent fares from 5 August, Darwin with free bus fares from 1 July, Canberra, from 20 September, with free public transport as the city transitions to a new public transport ticketing system and Hobart with half-price fares, which was effective from 1 June.”
All that lovely government money, freshly printed just for you. It’s free!
Heather Heyering is a scientist married, I recollect to Bret Weinstein. She was previously a rusted on Democrat. During Covid, like many others, she got a “wake up call”. She has just posted, on her substack, the reasons she will now vote for Trump. I have abbreviated it – but it is worth reading.
Why I Am Voting for TrumpAnd am proud to do soHEATHER HEYING
OCT 29
Eight years ago I couldn’t imagine that I would ever vote for Trump. Four years ago I considered it, but opted against, voting third party instead. This year I am voting for Trump.
There are many Americans who have followed a similar path.
Last week’s DarkHorse made a case for Trump. But I am still met with dismay and disbelief by some family and friends. Increasingly, what I hear is this:
“I understand that you can’t possibly vote for Kamala. But what are the reasons to vote for Trump?”
Here is one set of answers.
Trump is not owned.
Trump is not the nominee for the Republican Party of old, just as Kamala is not the nominee for the Democratic Party of old. Dick Cheney has endorsed Kamala Harris, and all the neocons are becoming Democrats, saying that Trump has “suffocated the soul of the GOP.” Traditional power is scared, and it is concentrating in the modern Democratic party.
Trump doesn’t answer to the power brokers of either party. He is his own man, and he is WYSIWYG—What You See Is What You Get. This is part of what people don’t like about him—they don’t like his tone or his humor, his meandering or his jibes. I understand. I didn’t like any of that either, although I got over it. You know what he never is? Insincere. He is human, and he is willing to show us his humanness. I far prefer a president who is comfortable enough with himself to reveal that self to the American people, than someone who is always hiding behind prepared words and fictions.
Trump is taking counsel from truth-speaking patriots.
Among these is Bobby Kennedy, Jr, who was my preferred candidate for president. Kennedy left the race in August, and endorsed Trump. More important than that, Trump has embraced Kennedy, and we are told that Kennedy will be empowered in a Trump administration.
Kennedy sees the death grip that Big Pharma, Big Food, and Big Ag have on the American people, and he has the capacity to address those problems. We have become a sick, out of shape, and confused people. We accept meds for every perceived ailment, including the ones caused by the last meds. The ingredients in the prepared foods on our grocery store shelves are a toxic brew—far more toxic than the products allowed on the shelves in other countries. Our food pyramid is inverted, and the recommendations coming out of nearly every agency tasked with watching out for our health are the inverse of what healthy people should do. Do not listen to the FDA, the USDA, or the CDC. Instead, eat animal proteins and fats, and produce that has been grown with as little chemical intervention as possible, savoring every single bit. And then do what is free and feels good. Go outside and face the sun. Walk. Form relationships. Touch people, and also grass and water and soil. Be barefoot under a night sky.
With Kennedy on task, many of the federal agencies, including those which fund science, will be on notice, and will have their houses cleaned. Finally.
The FDA was supposed to oversee the safety of our food and our drugs; instead, they are in bed with big pharma. The CDC was supposed to help us stay healthy and avoid disease; instead, they too are in bed with big pharma, and run by useful idiots. The NIH and NSF are supposed to be overseeing the funding of science; instead they, too, are in bed with big pharma (note a trend?), and also so bolloxed up that they don’t know science when it hits them in the head. They are funding politicized garbage which often doesn’t meet the basic expectations of science. Covid revealed the rot in medical and pharmaceutical research, but the rot is everywhere. Politically popular answers are generated by power brokers behind the scenes, and then research is funded and conducted to arrive at those answers. This “science” is conclusion driven, rather than hypothesis driven, and is therefore not science at all. Actual science that arrives at different answers—atmospheric Carbon is not the only thing responsible for our changing planet; puberty blockers are not safe for children—is disappeared.
It is also true that, in the final year of his first term, as Covid became the thing that we were all focused on, Trump halted funding to the World Health Organization¹. At the time, I thought this was yet another randomly batshit move of his. I was wrong. During Covid, the WHO revealed itself as an extra-governmental agency that seeks authority over people which nobody should have, ever. The United States should not be part of the WHO. Trump was right.
We need science back, real science, not feel good solutions that don’t help anyone. The Democrats think they are the party of science, but they are not. Trump, with Kennedy and his other advisors, will steer us in the right direction.
Trump is better for Americans.
In Trump’s first administration, prices of household goods fell, and jobs were created (until Covid turned everything upside down). People could afford to live. Trump understands the value of small businesses, and worked to support them. Since 2020, though, according to the U.S Bureau of Labor Statistics, the price of food and beverages has gone up 22.6%, the price of housing has gone up 25%, and the price of gasoline is up 55.8%.Many Americans are suffering—finding it ever more difficult to feed and house their families—while the media spins stories assuring us that the economy is strong.
Trump is not ashamed to be working on behalf of the American people. We are Americans, electing an American president. It is not just our right, but our duty, to want a leader of our country who puts our country first. This is neither racist nor elitist.
Trump talked big about building the wall at the southern border, and some of his rhetoric was inflammatory and mean. This was another place where the mainstream media got into my head. I always knew that a secure border was a necessary precondition for a health society, but I was foolish to believe that Trump’s talk of a border wall was over the top, anti-legal-immigrant, anti-human even. Once again, I was wrong. Trump failed to build the wall, though, and under Biden-Harris, the immigration problem has become catastrophic.
In April 2024, the House Committee on Homeland Security released their latest “Startling Stats Factsheet” which provides details on the people apprehended at our southern border (reported at homeland.house.gov). In March of 2024, encounters with Chinese nationals at the southern border had increased by 8,500% compared to March of 2021, and the vast majority of these Chinese nationals were single individuals, not families. In Panama’s Darien Gap in January of 2024, Bret and Zack Weinstein (my husband and first born, respectively) observed several immigration camps, full of people heading north to try to get in to the United States. At some of those camps, like Lajas Blancas, Latin American families were common; in stark contrast, the massive San Vicente camp was mostly populated by single Chinese men of military age.
Humanitarian crises do cause families to flee terrible regimes, and while open borders are never the answer, sometimes people make difficult decisions that put them on the wrong side of the law because they truly have no choice. But young men immigrating solo, often with criminal records in their home countries, are living an entirely different story. Families tend to flee war zones. Young men tend to go towards war zones. A flood of illegal immigrants across our southern border of fit young men of fighting age looks a lot like a war—or preparation for a future war—is coming to us.
Trump was aware of the problem, and was roundly mocked for being concerned about it. The problem has gotten far worse since he left office—since Kamala was put in charge of stemming illegal migration across the border, and failed utterly. Now, Trump is even more focused.

And here it is,
U.S. Border Chief Aaron Heitke who served under 5 different Administrations:
CONFIRMS BEYOND THE SHADOW OF A DOUBT,
Since January 20, 2021, the United States government is being run by a terrorist organization.
Was ordered by the Biden/Harris terrorist administration to coverup, conceal and manipulate data on the border crisis.
“We have no idea who or what is coming through our country.”
— “Special Interests Aliens” (SIAs) and “KNOWN and SUSPECTED TERRORISTS”,
“At the time I was told I could not release any information on this increase in SIAs or mention any of the arrests.
The administration was trying to convince the public there was no threat at the border”
— FENTANYL
“San Diego area sees between 80 and 90% of the methamphetamine and fentanyl seizures annually for our entire country.
With little enforcement at the border these drugs were coming through in mass.
During my last year in San Diego the price for a single pill of fentanyl for example went from 10 dollars to 25 cents.”
— FUNDING
“To make matters worse during 2022 and 2023 I had to shut down San Diego traffic checkpoints. Which are critical from drug interdiction. Because the resources had been diverted to PROCESS RELEASE MISSION.”
— THE COVERUP
“I had to release illegal aliens each day into communities who could not support them. To QUITE the problem two flights a week were provided from San Diego to Texas. Each flight cost approximately $150,000. This was the administration’s way to try to quiet the border crisis.”
“Through pressure through the Administration my headquarters became more interested in fiction being portrayed in the media and not at all concerned with reality.
We had 2000 or more illegal aliens sitting between the fences asking to turn themselves in. I WAS TOLD TO MOVE THEM OUT OF SIGHT OF MEDIA.”
He’s not wrong. And even if Trump wins, it’s even a question of whether they will permit him to take office. That’s where we are at the moment.

Joe Aston was on 3AW yesterday and talked about the bromance.
Putting aside the obvious corruption issue, Aston pointed out Luigi’s tin ear when it came to da Voice, and probably Qantas as well.
At a time when Qantas and Joyce were clearly on the nose, Luigi decided that it would be a great idea to launch da Voice campaign alongside the Detestable Leprechaun in front of a Qantas dot-painted jet.
He was clearly drinking his own bathwater by the schooner. Firstly, believing firstly that da Voice Yes campaign was an unassailable winner and, secondly, that Qantas was a much loved National Carrier and the shit-show that it had become was just media chatter.
LOL!!!
Many peeps don’t realise road names and suburb names are governed by a geographic names committee that adheres to naming conventions set by the United Nations. That, in itself, is odd!
Back in the ancient history, I helped name a street after a famous community service volunteer. His surname was Hall and I (proudly) managed to get the rules broken by having the road called Hall Way. 😛
I am unable to come to terms with the UK Government’s (and the people’s) response to what is the most horrific crime imaginable – the massacre of infants.
A nation that still talks about the Yorkshire Ripper not only buried this outrage but attacked and imprisoned those who knew that Starmer’s police were lying about the attack and protested appropriately. “Far right thugs”; an elitist cover up call taken up by the Conservatives, conservative media, Farage, police and even Spiked and Lotus Eaters. The latter two engaging in cowardly concessions to free speech repression.
The UK is on the edge. The murder of Robinson and others by muslim prisoners is being engineered. Now that it is proven that the people were lied to and the maniac who dismembered the innocents was indeed a jihadi, what can we expect?
Violence would be terrible but seemingly inevitable, and in the long run may contribute to the removal from power of disgusting stalinist socialism, and an honest defensive response to Islam.
Who is to blame – Blair, Obama, Trudeau, Adern, Gillard, Cameron and pussy struck Johnson – all from the anglosphere. They capitalised upon the innate good nature and trust of their societies in order to destroy western culture and those societies. Criminals!

and, like other leaders and leader-adjacent blokes like Gayleford, Schwartzenegger, Emhof and Biden, he’s knocked up the nanny*.

The Second ComingWilliam Butler Yeats
Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?
