Why not make the judiciary (bureaucracy) accountable for their actions? For example, if a judge repeatedly lets off an offender because in their opinion they are redeemable and they go on to commit a crime, then the victim ought to be able to sue the judge. Obviously, this is a simplified example and consequences need to be considered.

A lot of books became unavailable for borrowing in early October and the message from the organisation was that they were being sued by publishers for copyright breaches.
These texts were nothing to do with politics. However, given the significance of the organisation’s work for the inquiring citizen, their plight does raise a few questions.

Advertising the Cat POTUS poll….
Rules:
Choose the number of votes which will elect either Trump or Harris. So a typical choice would be “Trump to win, with 291.”
The time and date you make your choice will be recorded. So first in best dressed will get you your vote.
Note a second vote on the same POTUS number would put you in second place if you won.
Voting open now; closes with final US poll
You can only vote ONCE, but you may change your vote
Prizes:
First placegetter gets a choice of either of my two latest works: Cyclone Warriors – the Armed Forces in Cyclone Tracy, or the 3rd edition of By Derwent Divided, the story of the Tasman Bridge disaster, both out now and commemorating the events of 50 years ago.
Prize will be signed and posted within Australia.

The headlines in the fringe media make very clear that Mossad is “implicated” in spying on Giorgia Meloni and colleagues, looking for blackmail dirt. Shirley an international scandal that drags Israel into further disrepute and odium:
Mossad behind Italian ‘blackmail’ spying scandal
Israel’s Mossad implicated in espionage scandal in Italy
Why is Israel Spying on Italy?
A very quick review of what seems to be the source material shows us that in February 2023, ‘two men identified by the Carabinieri as Israeli agents’ visited the offices of Equalise – the private investigators actually accused of the spying.
The Israelis were reported to be trying to purchase information on the Wagner Group and offering reports on illegal Iranian gas sales (which might have been useful to ENI).
But not spying on Ms Meloni and friends.
But, hey. Mossad.
They were there…
Haters gotta hate.
were mossad at Madison garden when Nazis?
Remember that conspiracy theories are a national sport in Italy.

Boys now guilty until proven innocent: Parents speak out after sexual assault caseNewcastle couple Karen and Phil Milner say their family has been to hell and back after their son was labelled a predator and they funded his legal defence to prove he was innocent of sexual assault and choking charges.

The Sunday Telegraph
A Newcastle couple forced to sell their home to help their son fight sexual assault and choking charges said the “pendulum has swung too far” in favour of alleged victims and lives of innocent young men are being ruined.
Speaking exclusively to the Sunday Telegraph, Jack Milner’s parents Phil and Karen said they were overcome with relief this week when after enduring a 5-day trial a jury took just under 90 minutes to find their son not guilty of assaulting a woman in an alleyway near a Newcastle bar in November 2022.
Mrs Milner spoke about their two years of hell, having to support their devastated son through the anguish of being charged, labelled a predator, and their family’s reputation in tatters because of intense publicity about the case. Mrs Milner said she shuddered at the thought of how many other young innocent men were locked up in jail because they didn’t have the resources and support to defend themselves.
“We pretty much sacrificed everything. We would give our right arm for our children but if we didn’t have a house to sell to support our son’s defence then he would be languishing in jail waiting for his trial,” Karen said
“The evidence was so overwhelming in support of his innocence, we just don’t understand how we could have ended up here in the first place.”
“If we could make a difference, by letting people going through what we have gone through know, they are not alone, then that’s something positive that can come out of all the heartbreak we’ve had.”
The jury heard a 22 year old woman approached 19-year-old Mr Milner, an apprentice mechanic, and asked to borrow his shirt after she was denied entry to the Finnegans nightclub in Darby Street.
When cross examining the woman last week, defence barrister Margaret Cunneen SC said the woman was the one who initiated contact with her client.
“You grabbed him, hugged him, kissed him on the mouth,” she put to the woman.
“No,” she replied. “I wasn’t talking to him, he was speaking to me.”
Ms Cunneen said there was no rape and the woman had “made up this false complaint against Mr Milner”, fearing she would be in trouble for trespassing.
18 months for “contempt of court”. I too have total contempt for that court.
Tommy Robinson: What the judge said about his risk in prison
How about the law’s contempt for the people?
Perhaps it’s time for another Magna Carta.
Sadly it has proven to be untrue that Trump has persuaded Nayib Bukele to run the Trump DOJ.
Shame that. A Bukele prison would fit comfortably in Washington’s Mall.
I really despise ‘the law’ and lawyers. Whether you are wrongfully imprisoned or not depends on how much money you can access. What a fuking joke. Like I say, a hangover from 1066.

They now have to sue the woman and seek exemplary costs against the wallopers.
Agree 100 percent. Apologies for my earlier sweeping statement. You are an honourable exception Cohenite.
And even if they win, they would only get back the value of their house at the time it was sold, which would probably still leave many hundreds of thousands short in this market.
I hate the “justice” system, too.
In fact, I’m actively looking for a start-up which will work to load the common law casebook into AI, and create a super-low-cost, high speed, high accuracy legal advice for the self-representing and take end the horsehair leeches of qualified privilege sucking blood, tears, money and time from the common man whom they presume to serve.
Some important books are appearing:
“Fighting Goliath” by Prof. Norman Fenton
This just released book recounts Fenton’s efforts to counter the misinformation and propaganda of government bodies in respect to the Covid pandemic. In spite of his very high academic & professional standing, Fenton was opposed in every possible way from publicising his understanding of the threat of Covid.
“The Exhausted Brain” & “The Indocrinated Brain” by Dr. Michael Nehrs
The first book explains the effect of various stressors on the neurogenesis of the hippocampus. Modern life, and particularly the stress of the Covid years, has placed exceptional stress on the hippocampus which governs various aspects of memory. I am always interested in the hippocampus, since years ago I suffered an incident of Transient Global Amnesia, famously caused by exceptional stress. In my case, it was induced by the stress of the Great Drought of 2017/8& combined with an incident when daughter required me to given a lesson to grandson on the causes of the Vietnam War! It was indeed transient – about 3 hours.
“The Indoctrinated Brain” explains how governments, the WHO and the medical bureaucracies were able to convince so many people to accept a completely untested and novel vaccine.
“The End of Everything” by Victor Davis Hanson
This incredible classically trained historian uses his amazing knowledge of our history to explain the current era in which many western nations appear to be on a suicide mission.
“Hippocracy” by Prof. Ian Harris
Prof Harris, an orthopaedic surgeon & lecturer at the UNSW, presents a controversial theory that most spinal surgery does not address the cause of back pain. When some spinal surgery appears to work, it is mostly due to the placebo effect. (See also “Surgery: the Ultimate Placebo”)
Matt Walsh: I used to hate Donald Trump, now I am a huge supporter
Without knowing any details pertaining to who actually authorised this to go to trial, I have no doubt this is just the latest in a long conga line of sexual assault ‘prosecutions’ not recommended by the jacks in NSW, but enthusiastically taken up and run with by the NSW DPP.
There was a recent and very public punch-on (and on this very subject) between the judiciary there and the (chick) DPP boss, who from memory is a mutton-dressed-as-lamb me-tooer with a face like a bulldog’s arse.
Indeed the DPP in a number of States are at war with the judiciary. Not a good look.
the DPP is stuffed full of b*ttf*ck ugly lesbians with a woke marxist axe to grind

Winston, I hate the veggie garden! Even on a farm, I reckon that this is the hardest area of physical work. Even with a “cultivator” machine, hoeing is damn hard work. The weeds seem to proliferate at twice the rate in a vegetative patch than they do in an open paddock!
I have been toying with the idea of putting up temporary fences across it and letting in the chooks to weed unplanted areas for me. But would take too long to be effective, I think. And they would kill to get into the spinach !
And yes.
That lying mole needs to be sued by the young apprentice and his parents, to ensure she spends the rest of her life in a houso walk-up complex selling her rapidly-expanding arse for meth and durries.
Yes was about to post similar.

I know someone who had to do similar to get their teenage son off the hook. 5 figures to lawyers otherwise the son would be inside and with a BS conviction. She folded in the end admitted it was lies and turns out the other family pushed it.

Calli,
having just spent two weeks in Springfield, I can tell you that everyone believes Haitians have nibbled on a moggy or two, but no one will say as much in print.
There’ll be a chapter on Springfield in my book on the election year, which I’m trying to write amid Quadrant’s tech collapses and hope to have available in March.
The real story is about labour hire firms bringing in Haitians as virtual slaves, housing them six to a room (forcing out former residents), flooding schools with non-English speakers and swamping the local hospital.
That’s the real story,carefully buried by the MSM. Cat cuisine is at best a side issue.

Still, the idea that Trump can govern without the participation of the elites is an illusion. It will all be a matter of which factions within are favoured and which are not.

On Moresby…when I was in PNG in the mid 80’s it was unsafe. No one lived in unprotected premises, all behind tall fences, barbed wire, guards and dogs. Preferably in a compound with other ex-pats.
It has only become worse.
I pity women and children there. They are preyed upon by their “men” in horrific ways. You can only do so much for them – provide a safe place to sleep at least during the week, keep their bank book in a safe spot, offer to help with education. All the “paternalistic” things that are so derided by the ignorant or the opportunistic. It’s a savage, terrible place, punctuated by little communities of light, usually satellites of churches and Christian missions.
There is great natural beauty and fertile abundance. Vast mineral wealth. The people are poor and the politicians and exploiters are rich. The politicians especially love to come “south” and live it up, and also make use of educational facilities for their children. Like Albo, they have a sweet tooth for the pointy end.
Do the bookies have an exclusion clause for result rigging or is it for a win no matter how?
LOL
Yep, as the saying goes, PNG is a mountain of gold floating in an ocean of oil run by cannibals.
The worm has turned.

How many even on the conservative side didn’t understand Trump 1.1?
Who were reluctant in support of Trump version 2.0?
But now understand, and get it and embrace Trump V3 and are having fun?

As JD Vance said to his interviewer recently “Do you hear yourself speak?” How can Clare imagine that’s it’s OK for him to ask for personal favours from an airline that is not available to an ordinary taxpayer of the same health status but fewer financial or political advantages?

Pay for it yourself.

He solicited an upgrade, which, no matter the circumstances, contravenes the PM’s code of ministerial conduct.
If that code means anything (yes, I know) Clare should resign.
At least he’d be setting an example for the PM to follow.

It’s worse than that, males are now automatically judged to be guilty until proven innocent
Margaret Cunneen, like Bettina Arndt, does God’s work.
I wish to remind people here that the current Director of Public Prosecutions here in NSW is a ghastly and mediocre woman by the name of Sally Dowling. Dowling is quite possibly the worst person to ever hold the position of head of the DPP which is no doubt why she was appointed to the role by that mediocre Liberal, Mark Speakman, when he was AG.
You can always hand it to an incompetent Liberal government to f*ck things up.
Even worse than that pompous ass Cowdery – and that’s saying something.
That’s nice Mr Clare. No doubt your name and position had nothing to do with the upgrade. Snork.
Or is that Snort, snort, trough, don’t you know who I am?
Unfortunately Qantas was unable to provide an upgrade for my husband after his bilateral surgery. He isn’t important enough.
What a repulsive, entitled creature Clare is, not for requesting an upgrade (we all try it on) but for rubbing our noses in it.
Gosh, I’m on someone’s speed dial again this afternoon.

I watch as many of these Ford factory films and shipping in and around the Great Lakes as I can get my hands on, going back to the 1920s
Ford factory, River Rouge plant 1954:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdIVK3R7JDI
What is interesting is the men, how they hold themselves, how they reflect the society they live in.
By the 1960s the men in that plant were not the same.
They might have been some the same actual men, 15 years older, but the society had changed and they along with it.
The social decay that characterised the 1970s were well evident in the River Rouge Ford men as far back as 1962.
First men stopped wearing hats.
Then they started growing their hair long and the women started cutting theirs short.
There’s no coming back from that.
But seriously, that the counter-culture was able to sweep through American institutions with so little resistance is a sign that those institutions had already been hollowed out from within.
Until recently – and an asinine comment about Gaza – I regarded him as one of the more sensible Labor MPs.
I’ll rephrase that.
”We all try it on” when there is a need. Like injury or surgery.
I pity desk clerks being petitioned for “better seats” and “better rooms”. If something is available, be prepared to pay for it.
Upgrades are very rare these days unless you pay for them. Airlines have even partitioned economy into various extra categories according to the degree of legroom where you are seated, for which you pay extra. And then on local airlines there’s sometimes the micro-difference in fare prices, which mean some people get a meal and more than a cup of tea.
Better rooms are worth a try sometimes though. If they’re available and they think they’d like your custom again, then a higher floor or a better view or more space can be offered gratis. If you complain about your room too they will sometimes offer something better in the same price range, but away from a noisy road or with aircon that works without rattling, or with a better aspect or not near the lift etc. But don’t try this on cruises; they rarely change anything once you’ve booked.
Many of those men had seen national service. Discipline. I also think belief systems and world view shapes how people saw work – not as a career but as a means to a well defined end.
A snapshot – I remember my uncle, a plumber, going off to work (by public transport) wearing a suit, tie and hat. His overalls, along with his lunch and thermos, were in his Gladstone bag. Over six feet tall, he marched up the street as though he owned it, touching his hat to neighbours on the way.
We would stand at the gate to see him off. Tea and cake was always there on the table when he returned. Or maybe a beer in the fridge in summer.
The seat was occupied by a non-paying politician?
Little people.
I do recall a couple of years ago Clare was labelled – no doubt by giggly staffers, and which made its way into the media – as ‘Minister for Hotness’.
I do not know whether the ladees regard him as hot – or not – but, I will say that on appearances alone, he may last between three and five minutes without a mid-strength oat milk latte at hand.
A man with pixie ears isn’t hot.

— Calli above on her former home, Papua New Guinea:
That’s certainly true – but keep away from the perennial tribal troubles of the Western Highlands if you plan to visit for a look around.
I visited PNG twice (once to walk the Kokoda Track – best thing I ever did).
PNG is the South Pacific’s best-kept secret and it’s unlikely to be discovered any time soon by a mass audience because: a) it’s hard and expensive to get to; b) it’s a tribal society of 10 million+ people squeezed into an earthquake-prone land mass only double the size of Victoria.
You’d need a couple of months to see it all. There’s limited holiday accommodation in coastal centres like Madang, but I’d say the real gems are islands like New Britain and New Ireland in the north.
The distinguishing feature is that, even though this is the poor Third World, there is little malnutrition because of the climate and the abundance of seafood and vegetables.
However, I’d guess that, as in other Melanesian societies, diseases like diabetes are common, fuelled by the local popularity of Western soft drinks.
But the idea of a tourism economy is alien to the mostly corrupt national government, which relies on financial aid from big brother Australia.
Mining is huge but miners struggle constantly to get access to minerals. Bribes can buy almost anything at any level, up to and including the national government.
I understand the Kokoda Track is currently closed because of local tribal issues.
Definitely a bucket list must-visit, but only for adventure travellers. Allow plenty of time to comply with government time-wasting and other restrictions.
Try sailing around the place – carry plenty fish hooks and line, you can swap them for fresh fruit etc.
PNG is beautiful, or could be. We’ve been there several times in the past 25 yrs, mostly sailing around the Louisiades, Milne Bay, Trobriands, Madang, New Britain, Rabaul, also around West Papua, Raja Ampats, Banda Neira and the Wallis Line.
Port Moresby Yacht Club used to be pretty safe, not sure now, but flying we always stayed at the airport hotels. Barbed wire and armed guards.

Dickless will believe anything he finds in the DNC/MSM talking points, or on a leftard website.
One of the great moments of Wussia, Wussia, Wussia was him solemnly informing us that “chatter on lefty websites” was that Trump’s arrest was imminent. It didn’t happen.

I know it’s bad here, but what about PNG?
I did a 3 year contract in PNG looking after the chemical division of a local company. The business covered retail, commercial and industrial chemicals and I was fortunate to visit virtually every part of PNG including the islands. It’s a beautiful country and for me it was a long adventure.We had branches in Mt Hagen ,Tabubil, Rabaul, Madang, Lae and Port Moresby. Dangerous but as a South African I was not over concerned. In fact the owner of the company had a number of expat Saffas working for him as he said he found that we were not phased. Note all of us had done military service which probably helped. And the corruption was little different from that of the ANC in South Africa.
That is a genuinely interesting anecdote. Thanks.

At least the GOP seem on top of this shit unlike in 2020. Isn’t it odd that no accusations of cheating are made against the GOP. Imagine if we had a decent press. When there is a working press it is one of the fundamental reasons why the West is infinitely better than the commie and muzzie shit-holes. By working I mean impartial, non-partisan and always scrutinising the mongrels running the place. But the msm is never working and is always partisan, corrupt and spewing lies.
With maybe a dozen or less exceptions you could take the entirety of the msm out and put bullets in them and the place would be better off.
Ann Selzer is the GOAT of US polling. You couldn’t get more credibility.
Having said that, she is putting her proverbial on the line with this poll. Interesting times!
Calling her a goat doesn’t increase her credibility.

Top Ender, I got in pretty early, almost immediately after you called for guesses, to bags 300 as my bet, but apparently Tekwini came in before me.
Thus could you please put me to the nearest available which is now 301?
Ta. Lizzie.
Can do but you’d be second – zimlurog got in. I’ll publish the list.
That’s odd. Makka had a comment refuting the Iowa poll in moderation. Now it’s gone.
Dover, can you please retrieve it from the spam bin?
Remember how Tony Abbot, when PM, was ridiculed and sneered at by the left because he refused an upgrade?
They saw that as giving a bad example.

This was fun, since in the last week we found out that Elon has a capacious pad, worth about $50 million, which has no less than three ladies in it and 12 children.
Not many gay men have three girlfriends and twelve children by them,
OTOH, not much to admire, either.
Morality-wise, that is.
I think the women have been sequential, like Trump’s.
Bill Clinton stumping for Harris in Michigan:
“I don’t think it’s right to say that people have to vote for Donald Trump because the economy was better then.”
“Well, if [illegals let in by Biden-Harris] had all been properly vetted [crimes they committed] against Americans probably wouldn’t have happened.”
Sounds like Bill made the mistake of trying to defend her record.
OK, TE, I see that someone has already asked for 301 too.
I’ll take 282 or 283 if either is still available.
My optimism is fading.
283 is yours
Seems that only 7% of Iowans care about the economy.

I really don’t care as long as it is above the line.
Allocate away, but let me know. Ta.
Thank you, TE. Found it in the reply.
I am 283 now.
This is still worryingly within the debatable range where all sorts of legal to and fros might come into play, but at least it’s not in the 70’s.

Harris winning Iowa would be a November surprise, for sure. She has been strong with older voters, so Florida counting early on Wednesday morning will tell us whether Selzer added too much gin to her seltzer.
You forgot to add quotes to “winning”.
And about the only older voter she is strong with is Willie Brown. Fond memories!
Really starting to look like this was all confected by the British security state.

As a chemist I have a certain admiration for Mr Putin’s ingenuity.
Also shows how amazingly tough human bodies are.
The MSM is pleased to carry on about it being a neck and neck election.
But are they giving their audience an even presentation?
I perceive that there are way more vox pops with Democrat voters, and way more negative items about Trump.
Falisfying the polling by oversampling Dems gives the media and the Deep State the plausibility they need to steal the election in the 24 hours after the polls close –as they did in 2020.
None of this would be possible if the news media was doing its job.
So true… and they will. I expect none of the swing states to be called on the day of the election…
TE, can you check back thread. There were a few bets placed by Cats caught in pending that I recently released.
Whilst I’m not making any predictions as to the overall result on Tuesday (Wednesday our time), I will predict this…..
Donald Trump will win Iowa.
I’ll take Trump 323.
My surgeon provided a medical certificate to Qantas when I had to defer a flight to have knee surgery. I flew to LA with my 13month old baby a week later and the only upgrade I got was a seat in the more spacious bulkhead row and a bucket to keep my leg elevated.
They did deliver me to the immigration fast track once I reached the US.
So, Mr Clare, what makes YOUR leg surgery more worthy of an upgrade, you grifting parasite?
Mr Clare is a special person.
Just ask him, he’ll tell you.
Didn’t Blache D’Alwhatsit and someone have a cat fight in the chairperson’s lounge at Adelaide?

This is from a group of nested replies.
I am so depressed about the whole thing that I don’t expect any states except California and New York to be called on election night. I also predict that a particular cheat will be launched at Texas, if they can swing it they won’t need many of the smaller swing states.
I had a double knee replacement almost three years ago. I’m still waiting for my airline ‘upgrade’. I thought socialism was about ‘sharing’? I’ve never flown ‘business’ or ‘first class’. I sometimes think it would be nice to experience either before I die.
But on a more serious note, and one that those here with a modicum of history would know, those infamous socialists throughout history never went without. Going without is for the plebs, for the masses, for the great unwashed, for ordinary people like you and me. I remember reading how, during the Soviet famine of 1921, when thousands starved and dropped dead thanks to Lenin’s idiotic and chaotic collectivisation policies, high ranking Communist party officials were extremely well fed. This was noticed at the time by foreign aid groups who were given permission to go in and distribute food. During the Siege of Leningrad, from 1941 to 1944, the city was cut off on all sides except through Lake Ladoga. Food supplies were hindered by the German encirclement, and so hundreds of thousands of ordinary men, women and children starved and dropped dead on the streets, with many engaging in cannibalism BUT the Soviet elite running Leningrad were well fed, any food that made it across Lake Ladoga was first distributed to fill the tummies of the party elite. The same happened during the Holodomor, in China, in Cambodia, in North Korea.
Now, some might say to me that it’s a big stretch to compare an airline upgrade to siphoning food during a famine or siege but it all comes from the same socialist/communist trough. The grub from Grayndler and his motley comrades, the Green Nazi party, the Teal whores and all rest of the corrupt grubs found loitering in our Canberra trough are no different to the party comrades of old, be it Lenin, Stalin and so on. Remember this, whilst they are quite happy to make us go without, they have absolutely no intention of ever going without.
Cassie – we have just been to see “Lee”. A movie for our times which reminds us where anti-Semitism leads. Footage from Dachau actually photographed by Lee Miller who accompanied the allies entering the camp. I hope many, many people see the film – especially the young who have not been taught what happened, and the older ones who have chosen to forget. An important film.
Isn’t that the entire mission statement of the WEF elites?
Just wow.
No doubt a concussion. Did I laugh? Yes, yes i did.

Great job Top Ender !
I see that Jon Bon Jovi has endorsed Kamala and even claims to have written a song about J6. Well, he has just lost my daughters. I didn’t mind his and the group’s songs but I do now.
Do these US celebrities realise that they are destroying any basis for a unified culture and that in future up and coming celebrities may be asked to take sides?
These idiots in the music industry apparently think the emotional gratification from sacrificing half their recording sales in order to be popular with the minority somehow makes sense.
Dumbest people ever born.

Bold. Very bold.

Andrew Bolt: Labor’s no longer about fighting for the poor, rather it’s fighting for poor me-me-me
Federal Education Minister Jason Clare has just schooled us on how to demand freebies while still playing the victim.
What an insight into the entitlement culture of this – ha! – socialist Left government of Upgrade Albanese.
Clare admitted on Sunday he’d, oops, asked Qantas government relations staff for an upgrade for a holiday flight to Singapore in 2019.
Amazing. The man goes on holidays but wants other people to pay for it?
Knowing how bad this sounded with his prime minister accused of the very same thing, Clare pulled out his violin.
Clare said he’d just had surgery to cut a melanoma out of his leg so “yep, I asked for an upgrade”.
“I remember picking up the phone and asking for a bit of assistance there.”
Here’s where your heart is supposed to melt. Give that poor, lame politician an upgrade!
But wait. If Clare really thought he needed to fly in business class with his wonky leg, why didn’t he pay for the upgrade himself?
Why ask Qantas to pay for it?
This kind of thing seems to run in Clare’s family.
In his first speech to parliament, he complained that his great-great-great-great-grandfather also had to travel when he had problems with his leg.
That problem was a leg iron. Thomas Clare was a thief, you see, being transported to Australia, but Jason Clare reassured parliament: “We have come a long way since then.”
Yes! Now that thief’s great-great-great-great-grandson can get Qantas to provide the Clare leg with comfort he has no intention of paying for himself.
Maybe the Clare family hasn’t come such a long way after all.
In that same speech, Clare vowed a Labor government “will put fairness back into the workplaces”.
Now look at him and his Labor prime minister, oinking ahead of the queue to get business class seats they haven’t paid for.
When I worked for the Labor Party I thought it was about fighting for the poor.
Now the Education Minister shows it’s busy fighting for the poor me-me-me.
For Albanese, Clare’s admission is yet more embarrassment. It took the Prime Minister six days after he was accused of himself asking Qantas for freebies to finally deny doing any such thing in any possible way.
Yet now Clare shows how easily a Labor MP could limp into a business class seat just by calling some guy at Qantas.
This scandal has more legs than Clare’s clan.
Herald-Sun
Gosh. Bolt was actually very funny whilst nailing the grifter.(It actually read more like Blair). It was a good read on a Sunday nevertheless, so I tips my lid to Mr Bolt.
Wow – what a painting
Forgiving HECS fees is another way to cause division and animosity within society. What Upgrade Albo is doing is telling hard working tradies and other non-degreed workers that they have to pay for the Palestinian protesters’ HECS. Not smart Albo, you may get those Greens voters back but you will lose far more of other young voters.
TE,
Can I have whatever Monty has said for Kamala for Trump please?
It will probably be more than that but it will do.
298 then – done
Leg Iron Clare is still stealing.
Now he expects my kids, who have paid off their HECS debt at great cost, now to pay off other people’s.
Incidentally , they too are descendants of those who came here below decks.
Cats, this is for poor li’l Peanut the Squirrel:
This beautiful creature must die … 😕
Geezus Rabz, that soundtrack was horrific. And I come off a farm too. Gave me the creeps.
Mem – the murder of peanut is no joyous event. Such an inglorious fate is what dumbocrats (and labore and the greenfilth) have planned for anyone they deem not to be of them.
It does indeed.
An insightful commenter on the British Labor MPs recent “gift” scandals whose name eludes me made the point that if a person deems themselves to be righteous because they’re on the right (i.e. Left) side of politics they’ll likely consider themselves deserving of any perks that come their way without a second thought as to how it might look or any codes of conduct in place.
It is, in their eyes, justified.
It displays an astonishing lack of moral insight.
It wasn’t Theodore Dalrymple but it was along his lines of analysis.
If you want to see how slanted the polls are –

This was on Outsiders this morning and its outstanding.
Democrats deserve the ‘electoral ass-whooping’ they are about to get: Benji Irby

Lots of comments from America, too.
Benji was impressive this morning, he’s come along way since he was a “cab driver” in NYC. The people who do this kind of commentary must have other career plans for the next three years, no?

Reply YEAH!!, what Dover said.
Long ago I used to work with a woman whose husband was an architect who could afford to buy them business class airline tickets when travelling to Europe each year. She told me that they travelled economy, that it was important to get there as cheaply as possible. Once they got there they stayed in nice accommodation in prestigious destinations and enjoyed themselves.
This reminded me how all of us had to make decisions about our priorities except, of course, for our politicians to whom even the sky is not the limit.
Rasmussen Head Pollster Predicts Major Trump Landslide Victory
not counting on it but let’s be hopeful
That’d be very ironic if Weirdo Walz’s state went to Trump.
even more repulsive Tim Kaine, the lesbian bitch’s running mate
On Friday’s The Five that Jewish princess kunt jessica tarlov regurgitated the Trump liz cheney bullshit; that Trump had supposedly called for her execution when he had simply in typical Trump flourish repeated what the demorats had called cheney 20 years ago: a hypocritical war monger. If you watch nothing else just watch how Watters, Gutfeld and the Judge eviscerate tarlov. Gutfeld especially can barely contain his anger at tarlov and the msm’s gutter lie about this and every other lie about Trump.
On this basis I’ll make an ancillary prediction: if Trump wins and the demorats try again what they did after the last time he won I think they will be met on the streets with a lot more resistance from Trump supporters and officials. I think the penny has dropped at what destructive bastards the demorats and leftoids are in general.
I think there is a poll that says majority of Americans think the Democrats will cheat or that their elections are not clean. However, I don’t think there will be pushback simply because the treatment of the J6 protesters has cowed all Americans just as it was meant to.
While I don’t find Gutfeld laugh-out-loud funny, his opening monologues are more often than not spot-on, and occasionally thought-provoking.
Tyrus is normally a straight-talker also, which is refreshing.
OTOH, not much to admire, either.
Morality-wise, that is.
Musk’s genes need reproducing far and wide. He’s the first space Emperor. Whatever it takes. Good on him and the ladies concerned. I see on various occasions during launches, a little Muskette is sitting on Elon’s knee while Elon is at a PC. I think he likes his kids.
Also seen during a Tim Dodd interview at Starbase, 3 little Muskettes being looked after by nannies. Hilarious as they made a break for it and the nannies and Elon’s inner ring of security round them up.
TE can I have Trump 294 please?
Done
Discounting HECS fees by 20% shows the tertiary sector they can increase their take by 20%. Also fails to teach that if you acquire a debt, it should be paid.

I wouldn’t mind if the polls were just wrong because then the win, in contrast to them, would be much sweeter. The point of the neck and neck polls is to make the forthcoming steal look more feasible. They could say it was so close and obviously the winner had more voters turn out at the last minute. Gaslighting in its purest form.
Yeah I dunno cohenite, there has been zero evidence of the Proud Boys, III%ers etc recovering from their leadership going to gaol after J6. Maybe there is another fifth column lying in wait to do the putsch right this time, but if so they are keeping well schtum.
The other aspect of that is that there will be a major show of force by Biden to prevent any such shenanigans ensuing again. The handover on Jan 2025 will be wrapped up tighter than a fish’s bum, cops will be three deep all over DC. Any crowd of black-clad insurgents will get slam tackled toot sweet.
Hope so, because it’s Antifa we’re talking about as likely here, pulling their usual stunt of roughing people up and destroying property.
Trump will win.
No they won’t, idiot.
Antifa and BLM are special people.

Crossie:
That’s the idea.
Communists work by splitting society into groups and pitting them against each other.
The whole idea behind “Greek/Australians”, “Italian/Australians” and “Aboriginal/Australians” is creating division where it didn’t exist before.
Doesn’t this also tells us that universities are charging too much? Or better still, let’s go back to uni courses being free as long as you have marks good enough to qualify for entry. As for international students? Simple, no more.
Yup.
You do know that apprentices may be charged fees for the TAFE component of their training. They may avail themselves of HECS/ fee/help just like uni grads do
Freya Leach is on Sky at the moment with The Sunday Showdown crew. She is very young yet so good, I hope she has a great media future ahead of her.
Any crowd of black-clad insurgents will get slam tackled toot sweet.
If by black-clad insurgents you mean antifa, BLM and other sundry FBI plants then dickless, that is something we can agree on. But I doubt the demorats will suppress their core constituency.
Mmmyes.
That used to be my theory too.
The trade-off between accommodation dollars and flying dollars.
Now we just do both … fly up the front AND pay for good accommodation.
(But none of it is courtesy of the taxpayer or airline shareholders).
When younger and with kids in tow economy often did it for me even when on long haul flights. Hairy was usually up at the front in business courtesy of work and he’d come down occasionally to do an Atticus Finch on the kids to control the mayhem better than me and I’d go up to Business to sit in his seat there for an hour or so and enjoy some peace. Don’t know if one could get away with that these days. As a platinum flyer, occasionally if we were both flying economy on holidays sans kids, we might get a complementary upgrade or if not, then a glass of champers would arrive for us in economy prior to take-off. Very nice hotels came for free for me sharing his bed of course. We’d pay for an extra room for the kids as well as for their fares and mine if I didn’t also have work funding of fares for the travel, which I’d align with his.
These days we don’t try to save money. Not at our age, when money is not any consideration, as it could be in the past putting four kids through private schools and purchasing and sustaining a very large house and its gardens and an associated lifestyle. Now it’s business class and good hotels, and always a night beforehand in Ridge’s on the tarmac at Syd International so we don’t have to get up too early and risk traffic from Vaucluse for any morning flight. We also like to break a long haul journey these days, so have become quite fond of airport hotels. Stress free travel.
You earned it. You are entitled to spend it any way you like. 😀

Tom, she doesn’t have a vagina. She has, what Ace so delicately called it when describing Fani, cant remember her last name, a “Meat Tuba”. snork.
Let’s also see how Vivek Ramaswarmy rolls too when he speaks to the voters. Have a look at him here, in New York at the big rally there – full of Nazis of course. All those Jewish Nazis, and Nazis of Colour, and Nazi suburban mums and dads and even the Nazi kids. Democrats have got nothing to offer, nothing but more of the dismal same. Vivek is such a young firebrand and the crowd is loving it.
Vivek and Vance are apparently good mates – that’s why Vance called his son Vivek, a good Indian name.
Not to win now is unthinkable, but if the steal should be on and take it by slim margins in a few key seats, the enthusiasm and clear direction setting that the Trump rallies provide shows exactly where the country is sitting with regard to Democrat lunacies. The shift everywhere, even amongst Democrats, is away from the ‘woke’ and towards the right.
In this we win even if we don’t. The anti-woke tide is floating all boats.
Nope. If Trump loses, this will be a watershed moment in the history of modern civilization. The censorship, oppression, wokesim insanity , child brainwashig, perversions, injustice, lawfare, MSM propaganda etc – all the most tyrannical elements of leftism will be dialled up to eleventy. Future elections will be rigged to ensure no other group get to power. All potential opposition will be crushed ruthlessly. We will feel all this through 5 Eyes and imported “values” as the price we will pay for the US protection racket.

Whose best cinematic moment was as a counterintelligence officer in Apocalypse Now.
And made a shit tin of cash pretending to be something he wasn’t in a number of extremely popular roles, before he decided he had enough rivers of gold and reverted to type.
A bit like Bruce Springsteen, really.
Liberal Data Analyst Nate Silver Says Trump Favored to Win, Accuses Pollsters of ‘Putting Finger on the Scale’ to Make Election Seem Closer Than it is
According to Daniel Greenfield the ‘rats even called Barry Goldwater a nazzi! Truly the evil party.
If Trump loses he might as well move to Cuba, Argentina or Venezuela, otherwise he will end up in jail and broke, guaranteed.
They simply stayed the execution so far, being unsure of the election outcome, but the full judicial fury will be unleashed if he loses.
Israel. The Israelis love him. Indeed I recommend he leaves for Tel Aviv tomorrow.
I have noticed that it’s mostly old celebrities who are no longer relevant or the ones who are so rich that they don’t care if they lose viewers/concertgoers in the near future. The youngsters are not coming out for Kamala which makes me happy even if they are only concerned with their financial position, at least they are rational.
Every Republican President Is Hitler – Daniel Greenfield / Sultan Knish Articles at DanielGreenfield.org
Before Democrats were comparing Nixon to Hitler, they were comparing Barry Goldwater to Hitler. Goldwater had a Jewish father and a distaste for Socialism, which would have made him unwelcome in the ranks of the racially and politically pure National Socialists, but that didn’t stop the Hitler accusations from being hurled by the Democratic party and its political allies in the press.
Freya Leach and Kel Richards get to the nub of the issue.
-is there an inappropriate relationship between Qantas and government
-rules governing parliamentarians forbid them from asking for gifts
The whole upgrade issue has opened a stinking can of worms.
Asking for an upgrade is asking for a gift. Quite simple really, only a university educated journalist cannot work it out.
Good.
What happens when everyone’s Hitler?
Will there be grades of Hitler? Perhaps percentages?
The whole upgrade issue has opened a stinking can of worms.
Good and it’s time to revisit foreign citizens sitting in parliament
Including dual citizens.

Goldwater was an interesting man. Unfairly maligned.

A few weeks ago I had a similar, much longer term real inflation check – the price of a pint of beer in a basic pub.
In 1973, when I first started (legally) drinking in pubs, a pint of Newcastle Exhibition was around 12p.
The Bank of England inflation calculator tells me that, at the historical official inflation rates, that should be £1.10 a pint in 2024 terms – everything else being equal.
Everything else is obviously not equal. Not by a long way.
?A basic pint in the industrial north is around £4.50, a basic pint in a crappy London pub, around £8.00.
As we notice here, real inflation is far greater than the official rate suggests.
1 oz gold in 1973 was $106.48
Today it’s $A4,200 roughly.
It can’t all be explained by demand. What it shows is how far the currency has been debased by government money creation.
Everyone who has a mortgage or a fixed income knows it but they are not part of the club. Labor have obviously decided that little Aussie battlers are not their constituency. If LNP were clever they would really use it to their advantage.
The basket used to estimate the inflation for households has changed radically over the decades. And if you refer it to a proportion of your salary it’s got a lot cheaper I think.

Most of the cast of the Avengers, the best of the Marvel movie conversions, have come out for cackles: Johansson, Downy, Evans, Ruffalo who is a real prick, Cheadle, Bettany, and someone called Gurira who was in the worst of Marvels, Black Panther. Fuk them all; with Diddy’s dildoes.
Freya Leach is on Sky at the moment with The Sunday Showdown crew. She is very young yet so good, I hope she has a great media future ahead of her.
Crossie, I heard her speak at the Sydney Institute a while back. She bravely opposed the anti-Semites at Sydney Uni, and, if my memory is correct – her father was the lone man who carried an Israeli flag at the infamous Opera House debacle.
She spoke superbly at the Institute and I stayed back to congratulate her. A lovely, extremely bright young lady.
Pastor Leach. He is the gentleman who organises the “Never Again, is Now”, gatherings. I was at the Parliament House gathering and was very happy to hear Freya, and her father speak.

Yes and I’m sure most here would be familiar with Ronald Reagan’s speech for Barry Goldwater but in case they’re not here it is-

Johnson trash would really have to be up there with the worst until the old perv came along.
Albo’s HECS stunt will be seen as a cheap bribe in the way Howard’s tax free superannuation distributions were not. Of course you could argue (legitimately) that the money has been taxed15% going in, 15% on earnings so taxing it a 3rd time might be a little unreasonable.
Fairness is in the eye of the beholder.
All you jokers on the Trump side of the ledger,
the cheating is light years beyond your comprehension:
As is unemployment.
Funny that.
It’s as though being in government employ gives one a license to fudge the figures…for the greater good, of course.
ALL Govt figures have as much cred as the BOM’s climate forecasts. Published to support the narrative and deceive the plebs.
Covid broke all prior bounds.
Yet they wonder at the growing popular belief that governments lie to people all the time.
Governments invented misinformation & disinformation.
It has become stock in trade for politicians: the half truth, the misdirection, the selective use of statistics – and the beat goes on.
And they don’t care that we know – viz the proposed exclusion of government porky-telling from future misinformation legislation.
Which reminds me, Dutton must fire the eSafety Commissioner as a top priority if/when he wins the next election.
Abso-fooking-lutely.

There is a slight problem, Israel depends on the US for her security, not sure they will protect him if push comes to shove.
The other 3 I mentioned are already in the black books with the US so they don’t care.
As to moving tomorrow, I agree, I just hope he has made suitable arrangements and doesn’t depend on the mercy of the democrats in case he loses.
I hope to God I am wrong and he comes through and wins big.

Cat POTUS poll
You have me down twice for 273..
As I have the nauseating feeling that the Kamel’s cheat will overcome the Trump landslide, it’s 273 for the cackler from me.
Thank you.

Well, despite my at times acriminous discussions with my UK (domiciled) daughter about selling up and returning to Oz, the response was pretty much “gee Dad, that won’t happen”.
As of two days ago her Kent farm is worth 20% less, but it is far worse than that. Nobody in the UK will buy farm properties with Stalinist manacs in charge of the nation insisting that all productive land be turned into kale plantations.
Sure, presentationally it is Starmer’s fault, but in reality it is not. The whole outrage is a consequence of the self serving arrogance of the UK establishment. They still despise the lower orders and as long as their wealth is secure in Dubai, or in huge landholdings the the Royals will prevent Starmer from stealing, they don’t care.
This week Farage showed himself as just another snobbish establishment figure contemptuous of the working class.
They need to be careful.
And Reform is down 3 points in the polls as a result.
I mean the scores and scores of confirmed right-wing militants who started a riot and tried an insurrection… then got arrested, convicted and gaoled for long stretches.
If there is going to be any sort of repeat of J6, those new cadres are exercising some stellar radio silence protocols. The far, far more likely scenario is no populist uprising to save Trump from gaol.
Boring….
idiot
You really can’t be this clueless Monty.
Not even you.
My count of glowies at J6 is well over 300. And all those poor patriots who have been incarcerated for parading peacefully. Not to mention Ashli Babitt.
The totalitarian fascists are on display openly, they are the Left and the deep state. And you are one of their capos.
LOL, the fat fascist fool still believes in the only unarmed insurrection in history.
Even Wat Tyler and his rebellion had agricultural tools.
Hey guys – Cassie is on a Sky panel at the moment!
I mean the scores and scores of confirmed right-wing militants who started a riot and tried an insurrection… then got arrested, convicted and gaoled for long stretches.
Of course, our Nazi says nothing about the scores and scores of confirmed left-wing militants who started riots and insurrections across America over the summer of 2020, and most of them didn’t get arrested, most of them didn’t get convicted and most of them didn’t get gaoled for any short or long stretches.
It is also worth remembering that Cackling Kamalhhhhhha the Great Fellator helped set up numerous online go fund me accounts for those scores and scores of confirmed left-wing militants, activists and all round scum.
Don’t worry folks, I’m always happy to provide the Nazi with some basic facts.
“What happens when everyone’s Hitler?

Calli,
I am fighting my own personal Hitlers right now. Crows have killed my beloved hens. I am working to stop them going after my ducks and turkeys.
I don’t have guns, yet, and it was too windy today to use my Bow, so I placed poison out for the murderers.
The problem with that is, I will have to sacrifice my favourite birds, Magpies, as they eat the same food that Crows eat. Except, Maggies don’t murder chickens.
The Poison has a trickle-down effect, as I have to keep my dogs on leads when I take them out with me.
I will prevail. Tomorrow is supposed to be calm. I have a good eye, and don’t need specs.
Pogria, we have had problems with crows in the past. Husband managed to close the door to chook yard & trap the culprit. After a lot of effort he threw a towel over it and then rung its neck.
I dont suggest you despatch it in the same way! But you can take it a long way away! None of its mates ever came back. They are smart birds.
Indeed are smart. After school worked on a farm that had problems with crows, they could tell when we had shotguns and not or sticks. Crows were hated in the area especially at lambing time.
Later worked with a driller who grew up on a cattle farm near Callide in Qld, he 7 his dad used the open window sniper trick from inside the room. Even the crows eventually cottoned on to that and the range/angles of the rifles through the apertures.
Bloody smart birds. I admire them when they are not on my property. As you wrote, lambing time is perilous.
I came to loathe them decades ago when I saw they couldn’t wait for a cow to die before they took the eyes.
Vicki,
I have no problem dispatching anything that threatens mine.
I seem to have a family of Corleones after my birds. There were two , to start. Now, they are like housos at a “free to a good home”.
Every effing rello has turned up for a feed.
I got rid of the bastard crows here with an mp3 recording of their predators that i bought from a guy in the US. Only works on crows and despite my initial scepticism they definitely didn’t like it.
Cheap and easy…I think he might even offer an instant download nowadays.

The Albanese government is poised to cancel a planned $7bn military-grade satellite communications system it gave the green light to just 18 months ago because there is no money in the Defence budget to pay for it.
But he has $16 billion to forgive university students and Palestinian protesters’ HECS.
That’s a point a number of people have been crass enough to raise in the “Comments” section!
This pack of treasonous bastards would sell a backdoor to the Chinese anyway.

As a former drug dealer who has been raided under criminal pretenses by the State of New York, I would like to opine on the Mark Longo and Peanut situation as an expert.
If you told me this was an SNL parody of what a future Democrat run anarcho-tyranny state looked like, I would believe you.
> Guy runs a animal rescue non-profit
>10 officers raid his house
>not allowed to use bathroom alone
>not allowed to feed his other rescue animals
>interrogated wife about immigration status
>search warrant from 4 bureaucratic departments
>they put down the squirrel and his raccoon
Just absolute clown world government and maniacs running the place.
We need Trump really bad
After a lot of observation I’m now of the opinion that the swing states may not matter so much in this election. I think Biden and Harris have destroyed the majority of American voters faith in government and in particular, those two, that Trump just might pull a Reagan and swing a lot of Democrat states over…. Rigging polls will not sway voters who have been disenfranchised from their normal life by cost of living and crime statistics pressures brought about by the actions of those morons…
282 for Trump thanks TE
Done
Thank you sir
Defence lawyers should start calling in DPPs to testify under oath whether they place pressure on staff to pursue obviously false rape cases.
A feminist DPP being imprisoned for perjury would be most satisfying.

Voter suppression.
In some circumstances mUntard gets quite agitated about this. In others, not so much. This is a “not so much”.
I mean the scores and scores of confirmed right-wing militants who started a riot and tried an insurrection… then got arrested, convicted and gaoled for long stretches.
LOL, great piss taking dickless.
Virginia is shaping up to be a crucial battleground. Youngkin wanted to purge the rolls of non-existent voters. The Dems took it all the way to SCOTUS and lost, to protect the steal. If Virginia falls then a landslide is on that cannot be hidden by shenanigans elsewhere.
There are famous Virginia battlegrounds: Manassas, Fredericksburg, Petersburg, and then surrender at Appomattox. Will the war be won in Virginia?
Dickless: ” insurrectionary insurrection is insurrecting”
Also dickless ” no firearms were used by gun huggers preparing to overthrow the government – because reasons”
