An American friend told me that some cruise liner is advertising a four year around the world cruise for those Americans who won’t be able to tolerate Orange Hitler for four years.
Friends tell me that the well heeled, especially from the US, do that already. They have virtual apartments aboard the most luxurious ships and spend their remaining time spending the kids’ inheritance.
There is an apartment luxury ship called The World where you can buy pricey apartments and call all services in, or eat and share life on board as you wish. We passed by it on the Hurtigruten Midnight sun coming out of narrow Troll Haven in Norway. Apparently you can lease some of the apartments for a cruise.
A professor specialising in “inhuman geography” at a British university has declared the subject of geology as racist, claiming it has been unduly influenced by colonisation.
Kathryn Yusoff, who lectures at the prestigious Queen Mary University of London, condemned geology as a subject was “riven by systematic racism”
Professor is a dirty word.
Academic Claims Geology Is Racist and ‘Linked to White Supremacy’
Seen the twat? Her bios are full of every buzz word imaginable, I’m surprised she hasn’t found it homophobic as well, about the only thing missing.
Her PhD is another toilet paper type that isn’t science its voodoo.
She’s very cagey about her background too. PhD Geography but her Masters/Bachelor not listed. Could we have another Flammery, Bach Arts type that has crossed over into the serious realm but with baggage?
Thought it might be trans. How could such a person be appointed?
Words fail me!

The incurable TDS is the subject of an in depth analysis by Deborah Tyler at American Thinker. Here’s an extract, but the whole thing is essential reading. As Harold Ford Jr. Is fond of saying, I don’t agree with everything she says, and the comments below the piece are as fascinating as the article itself, which has a historical perspective on the indoctrinations visited on us since the 1960s.
”This obsessive hatred, popularly called Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS), is not a free-standing mental disorder. Rather, it is a delusional symptom cluster at the terminal stage of a sixty-year vast, progressively insane attempt by the left wing, especially the cultural, educational and political elites, to entrain the American people to despise their nation, their laws, and themselves in order to break their self-respect and mentally enslave them to government control. Few people can stand against indoctrination and brainwashing that they have been exposed to all their lives.”

Load shedding will be coming here too.
Rota Load Disconnections- aka Power Cuts–Coming To Your Street (17 Nov)
That is in the UK, which already has the highest retail electricity prices in the world. Someone in the media might want to ask Chris Bowen if he’ll rule out such practices here.
shitholeification
Voltage reduction was tried in the Ruhr Valley after the RAF bombed the dams.
Despite being warned it would cut production and endanger the factories, the authorities went ahead – and burnt out thousands of electric motors.
but they were ‘experts’ right?
Yes. They are. And you and Winston are f’in idiots.
When there are supply issues, failure to balance the system can lead to a system-wide blackout, damage to network infrastructure, massive delays and costs in getting it started again AND you burn out those thousands of motors. Possibly exactly the same motors.
Bowen should guarantee that such load shedding will happen where needed. Guaranteeing that it wouldn’t happen is criminally irresponsible.
Whether or not the supply should be there is irrelevant. The network operators need to deal with the realities in the ground.
The UK was in better shape when it was being bombed by Hitler.
The way things are going, not long before we can say German industry was in better shape when it was being bombed by the RAF – production increased until well into 1944.
Move over Kamalala! Here’s another saladeer. Mz Yusoff-
Errrr…okay.
Is she a geographer, geologist, historian, environmentalist, astronomer or gender theorist? Or a jack of all trades and master of none?
One thing. She has a bag of big words and convoluted sentences and she’s ready and willing to use ‘em!
Her kind were known as snake oil merchants in times past. The only skill she has is being able to separate people from their money.
Clarity of expression is the last thing that type of posturing academic lightweight wants – if adopted it would make plain the total absence of insight and intelligence.

Is it my imagination or has it suddenly gone very quiet in ME and Ukraine?
Russia has just attacked again and Joe Biden has authorised dangerous escalation.
Thanks Bungee. Must have been eclipsed by all the administration appointments Ree-ing.
Following on from the TDS article, the current mass-hysteria indoctrination using misinformation is of course the all-encompassing climate alarmism. It could only work with the complicity of the corrupto-crats in parliaments, business, the PS and the MSM. All should (one day maybe?) be held accountable for the damage being done.
Callie – Probably just local MSM not reporting. Lots of stuff is happening. Israel potted the Hezbie press spox guy overnight. Russia hit Ukraine’s electricity sector with 120 drones. Biden has given permission to Ukraine to now use long range US missiles to hit targets in Russia. The Norks are thinking about sending another 100,000 troops to help Russia. And it’s reported that the remaining Hamas leadership has just bugged out from Qatar to Turkey.
Let’s hope they are successful, and that the same happens here in Oz.

I spent some time on the weekend looking through ‘X’.
I wouldn’t say that the election of Trump is driving the left crazy, but I would say it has turbocharged their crazy.
One person reported that black people and Latinos were being sent text messages informing them of their imminent deportation. The next sentence melodramatically pondering why MAGA is so full of hate.
Absolutely no connection shown between any such messages but the thread took off from there.
We do know which side of politics loves hoaxes to cause alarm and try to gin up outrage against their enemies. If there are such messages I am pretty sure where they originate based on history.
But my favourite was one where one Twit was flabbergasted that Trump was already choosing his team. There must have been a steal and the election investigated.
Or more accurately, when will such practices be implemented here.
Old bloke next door has been informed that his power box will be changed over next week.
I’ve tried to let him know that he can refuse, but he’s been convinced it is for the best.
You can be well assured that the ‘elites’ of our respective societies will not have to endure the inconvenience of load shedding. I have my 7 kVa generator ready.

Which blog and first person was the first to coin the name of the incurable illness know as TDS?
TDS certainly wasn’t coined as a phrase and a malaise in Australia as most of the Australian “conservative” media have suffered from it at one stage or another.
I’m guessing TDS came from one of the American conservative news/commentary websites that have been observing Trump Derangement up close.
A quick search and it’s Charles Krauthammer – he coined “Bush Derangement Syndrome”, which then transferred seamlessly onto Obama and then Trump.
So it isn’t Trump-centric, but a progression through Presidents.
That there was no Biden Derangement Syndrome speaks volumes, but I leave it up to Cats to interpret that for themselves. 😀
Me. And I want a dollar for every time it’s used.
Defaulters will speak to my Lawyers.
Politicians tend to make sure such measures are not inflicted on their particular electorate as they want to be re-elected. Living in Bowen’s electorate then I might be at less risk of suffering the effects of his decisions. Or does he think he will get enough votes no matter what, his is a safe seat after all?
A rhetorical question, are the Lying Labor voters in Blown’s electorate the stupidest people on earth.
That would make far too much economical sense and too many families would no longer be reliant on government “services” such as childcare. It suits politician far better to have whole families on welfare and safely voting for the those who promise them more “benefits”.
Exactly! We can’t have the plebs deciding how they’ll live their lives and raise their kids, can we?
Actually, there are a lot of lefties on X who are adamant there must have been a steal in the US elections.
When Trump’s supporters claimed fraudulent behaviour in the 2020 election they had evidence such as the late-night drops of extra ballots when there were no Republican observers, or said observers being told the count was done for the night only for it to resume when they left, the real-time transferral of votes from Trump’s tally to Biden’s (Trump losing thousands of votes and Biden’s leaping by the same amount), the boarding up of Windows so people could not see what was going on, and impossible instantaneous addition of thousands of votes creating vertical lines on the graphs tracking tallies, and so on.
As far as I can tell there is absolutely no evidence available for this election. The Democrat vote sunk back to where it had always been before (no extra 15 million which made the basement hiding lacklustre Biden more popular than the near numinous charisma-geyser Obama – such was the feeling of the Dems at the time).
But, by golly they are full of unfounded theories.
It is cathartic, I suppose.
Slightly less destructive than sitting down pulling the wings off birds* while tearfully screaming “Look what you are making me do, Trumpf!”
*They would not pull the wings off flies. Call it a professional courtesy.
I had my usual Sunday night call with my Kent based farmer daughter.
She was not he usual placid self. Apparently the landholders in her district have been receiving emails, calls and in some cases visits from the Chief Constable’s people announcing that it has been declared illegal to operate farm machinery on the roads even if registered.
This thuggish outrage is of course focused on preventing Tuesday’s farmer protest.
She said that her frustratingly passive neighbours are finally recognising the risks that they are facing are are at least beginning to talk about organising.

No.
From wiki:
The origin of the term is traced to Charles Krauthammer, a conservative political columnist, commentator, and psychiatrist, who coined the phrase Bush derangement syndrome in 2003 during the presidency of George W. Bush. That “syndrome” was defined by Krauthammer as “the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people in reaction to the policies, the presidency—nay—the very existence of George W. Bush”.[10][11][12][13] The first use of the term Trump derangement syndrome may have been by Esther Goldberg in an August 2015 op-ed in The American Spectator; she applied the term to “Ruling Class Republicans” who are dismissive or contemptuous of Trump.

Ironic of course it was where all three countries had some mighty fights in WWII:
Japan, Australia and USA alliance
Australia has increased security ties with Japan amid fears over China’s military might. Annual deployments of hundreds of Japanese troops will now rotate to Darwin, with a new alliance-style agreement with Tokyo and Washington to counter regional threats.
Up to 600 Japanese amphibious force personnel will join annual US Marine Corps deployments to the Top End from next year.
Australia’s Defence Minister Richard Marles announced the measures with US Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin and Japanese Defence Minister Nakatani Gen in mid-November, saying a new formal commitment to consult on regional contingencies would provide “substance and a structure” to the trilateral security partnership.
Speaking at the naval base HMAS Coonawarra, the commitments came as Mr Austin declared he was confident the US could deliver on its promise to provide Virginia-class submarines to Australia, while Mr Marles confirmed Japan’s Mitsubishi Heavy Industries was one of two remaining contenders to build Australia’s $10bn general purpose frigates.
US submarine production is languishing at around 1.4 boats a year – well short of the 2.3 per year needed for it to meet its AUKUS commitments without eating into its own requirements. But Mr Austin said investments in production, including a $5bn funding injection by Australia, would “get this done”.
Japan’s Mogami frigate is up against Germany’s MEKO design, proposed by TKMS, in the race to build 11 new warships for the navy after South Korean and Spanish rivals were knocked out of the running.
Mr Marles said Australia was “very impressed” with the Japanese ship and would make a decision next year, with the first three vessels to be built overseas and the remaining eight to be constructed in Perth. The US Marine Corps rotational deployments have been under way for the past 13 years. About 2000 marines exercised in the Darwin area this year.

Bill Gates: To slow climate change, we can stick metal in cows to stop their farting
This guy keeps getting weirder and weirder. No wonder even his pro-forma wife divorced him.
Completely mad. Not only is methane harmless due to the water cycle (which is also why CO2 is harmless) but it is naturally removed from the atmosphere quite rapidly as it’s oxidized with the assistance of solar radiation.
Maybe we can stick metal into Bill Gates to stop him gassing off. I’m feeling charitable so I’ll settle for a stainless steel buttplug rather the plugging up the loud end.
We need to stick metal into billyboy …..lead with copper jacket would at a pinch.
Well, the trick would be to ensure the cost of sticking in the bolus is less than the increase in the value of extra meat production as the methane is converted into useful protein.
but it isn’t. Hence all this talk of carbon credits, or worse carbon debits on the cattle industry

It’s same here with Labor and Greens. Aboriginal flag, Torres Strait Islands flag, rainbow flag, Hamas flag all good. Australian flag? Sign of colonisation, invasion, oppression, blah, blah, blah.
Family at the top of my street have a proper flagpole in their front yard, fly the Australian flag all the time and replace it when it becomes tattered. I have no idea how they vote but do know that the husband is a migrant.

Hmm, why and why now? Could it be that Labor needs a distraction from Albo’s catastrophic poll numbers and to distract from the “Kevin in Washington” disaster?
Alan Jones is high profile to generate a lot of buzz and something like this can drag on for months and months. The other thing, Jones is connected to Liberals, or used to be, so guilt by association.
Another thought, is Alex Greenwich involved in any way?
The Parrot was a weird Sydney queen for years. Not that there is anything wrong with that. As always, let’s see how it plays out.
A moonbeam from the larger lunacy:
The UK’s $1.5+ billion dollar Advanced Research and Invention Agency, established by Boris Johnson, will fund geoengineering projects to increase cloud cover, thereby blocking sunlight and reducing terrestrial temperatures.
What could possibly go wrong?
Meanwhile, UK county councils report a 10 year lag on secondary road maintenance due to budgets being shrunk by inflation. And that’s taking into account the recent Labour budget’s increase in funding, which merely remediated cuts made by the Tories under…Boris Johnson.
Can’t fix the roads, can fix the climate.

Correction, should be Collins, not Ray.
Then there was that one in Queensland, wasn’t he Deputy Premier?
As usual, mUnturd suffers from selective memory loss.
You may be thinking of Keith Wright – who was ALP Leader. Or possibly Bill D’Arcy (who was ALP Deputy Leader).
Both genuine rock spiders.
You really are a greasy little smear of flith on this blog.
Says someone who has previously supported drag queen groomers in schools and libraries.
And then there’s Keith Wright (a former state leader), Bill D’Arcy and various lower-level party officials. And the Green member of Canberra’s local parliament who had to resign last year. And that’s just for starters.
Both Wright and D’Arcy, by the way, were state school teachers before entering parliament.
Liberal politicians can be disappointing in many areas, but being rock spiders has not been one of them(so far).
That’s why more rock spiders from the ALP have been jailed over the last 20 years than any conservatives.

Sure dickless. When it comes to sex perversions the leftoids leave the right for dead. Have you booked the milko’s kiddies in for their sex change procedures yet.
Having seen no evidence of 10K NK troops in Kursk, to date, the report now is that NK may send 100K troops but rotate them through the 10K ever only being on the ground at once. Sure Jan.
There’s been a bit of evidence, but generally the Nork troops appear to be underperforming, so neither Russia nor Norkistan would want to publicize that. It’s logical that they wouldn’t be very effective at the start since they’re green – like the US Army was at Kasserine for example.
(The stories of Nork troops discovering pron and drinking anything with alcohol in it have been amusing.)
The latter claims are a wink and nod that the former claims are largely in the imagination of those promoting the claims themselves.
You need to read something more than Russian sites. It’s human nature.
Yes, Musk is rigorously keeping the voluminous evidence of NK troops in Russia, their underperformance, and their fascination with porn, off his site.
I’ve probably seen a dozen or so stories around and about. As I said it’s human nature. The poor conscripts go from a repressive regime with no internet and limited access to booze and find themselves in a free-wheeling Russian province.
The more recent stories I’ve seen suggest that the Nork conscripts are now mainly digging trenches and manning artillery. Which is probably to keep them back from the hottest zone. There was at least one bad incident when the Ukies caught a platoon with drones – which they had had little training to cope with.
Last map I saw yesterday suggests not much is happening in the Kursk salient other that blood of the PBI being spilled in bucketloads. Very little progress despite the reported 50,000 reinforcements Russia called in. And a lot of those are hardened troops, especially VDV formations.
I have no doubt you’ve seen stories but I’ve yet to see any footage of NK troops in Kursk in combat. These ‘stories’ are the proverbial, You should have seen the fish I nearly caught last week, it was huuuge.
Well you won’t see the footage on the Russian milblogger sites you look at. So I suppose it means that it doesn’t exist…right?
(Yes I have seen photos and footage. Pretty grim some of it.)
Victoria on X: “Ukrainians captured a Russian soldier in the Kursk region. He decided to surrender because North Korean soldiers were shooting in the wrong direction and might’ve even taken out two Russians. Here’s hoping that “friendly fire” wasn’t so friendly after all. But even if it was https://t.co/94r7fgRef1” / X
I knew the resident Nazi would turn up and vomit a comment. He should go play with his Hamas buddies, I hear there’s quite a few in Melbourne.
Oh and speaking of spiders and how some spiders like to hide behind rocks, something he’s strangely, oddly and weirdly obsessed with, note how he disappeared from view here less than two weeks ago, he scurried away to hide, like some grotesque poisonous spider, no different to how some spiders hide behind rocks.
As for the Jones’ allegations, I regard them as no different to the Pell and McLachlan allegations, all political. Oh but here’s a thought, Jones should convert to Islam, express support for ISIS and Palestine and then the NSWaffen will give him a free pass.
I can’t comment on the allegations, but the timing. He’s 83 and not in good health. Are his opponents hoping he croaks before a trial is finalised so that it will never be disproved? Hmm.
Orkopolous
Indeed, and NSW Labor spend years trying to cover that up and worse, they tried to subvert any investigation.
The Liars never do too well on the numbers. “No thanks Bob [Collins]. I don’t need a lift, I’ll get a taxi.”
Sacked the female staffer who informed the police, and later had to make a huge payment for wrongful dismissal.
The party of the wukkas doing what it does best, shafting them
And they persecuted Gillian Sneddon, Orkopoulos’s staffer who reported him to the police, so resolutely that the Supreme Court eventually awarded her over 500k in damages. Regrettably, the damages were paid by the state (i.e the taxpayer), not the ALP machine.
Since dickless has raised the topic of perverts:
Gov. JB Pritzker Vows to Boost Sex Changes to Thwart Trump Agenda
Fat, ugly and evil. Not dickless but the mongrel pritzker. Well, dickless too.
I’m hesitant to make this comparison, and might end up doing the wrong thing here, but during the Second World War there was biological human experimentation (both by the Germans and the Japanese, but I’m referring to the former; no more details) … Without intending to dilute the evil, surely the intent behind this present chop-you-up cult is beginning to catch up with it’s historical forebears?
The stink from this Labour Government in Great Britain keeps getting worse.
The Police are in the cover up up to their necks, MI5/6 would have known about the father and the son, and the Parliament must have known just what was going on – there have been rumours of Starmer having a huge secret for months now.
And if the Royal Family don’t behave decisively – i.e. withdraw consent from this government and call for new election, then they’re gone as well.
Which, frankly, would be a bloody good thing.
THE issue, of course is if the splitting of the vote between the uniparty Conservatives and Nigels mob will just deliver the same result – a minority Labour government, and that leaves the people with only one choice – civil disorder.
Ok, someone made this.

I can’t comment on the allegations, but the timing. He’s 83 and not in good health. Are his opponents hoping he croaks before a trial is finalised so that it will never be disproved? Hmm.
I think you’ve said it best. From what I know Jones’ health is bad so the timing of this is everything.
The left have been out to get Jones for over 30 years, and every time they’ve targeted him they’ve failed. He’ll fight this but the toll on his health? It will be catastrophic.
I note that Jones stood by Pell. I hope people stand by Jones, I certainly will.
It’s similar to what was done to Kevin Spacey.
Bastards. Right or wrong have nothing to do with it. This is just the way they relate to others.
All the alleged offences mentioned seem to be Jones groiping younger stronger men, who just brushed him off. There is no real crime here, just a social vulgarity.
I see ‘Harris gonna win Iowa’ Boy is lurking. I’ve just checked the numbers and Harris is still 7.4M votes behind Biden’s 81.3M. While Trump improved his 2020 votes by 2.2M. Less than 800K CA votes left too. Tough break.
Correct.
The salient paragraphs in the Paywallian story:
The police “strike force” was established eight months ago to investigate specific historic sexual abuse allegations by Alan Jones’s media enemies.
Why only “sexual touching” (note: assault is not alleged) between 2001 and 2019? Why not prior decades?
This stinks of a media fit-up against Jones.
If I were him, I’d try to get this into court ASAP so the allegations can be tested under cross-examination.

Swedish Minister for Gender Equality Paulina Brandberg Seeks Treatment for ‘Phobia of Bananas’ (16 Nov)
She’s actually a righty, sort of. I am amused by her party’s logo.
Will she be “withholding sex” as a result of that banana phobia?
Ha, ha. That makes two of us. I wonder if they came up with that on their own or paid some consultant.
I note that NSW Police, who are now alleging Alan Jones “touched” a 2GB employee, are as politicised as Victoria Police and have let anti-semitic demonstrations and hate crimes proceed for the past year without enforcing hate crime laws.
Yet the accuser will never be revealed. How convenient.
Response to Knuckles‘ 9:100 a.m. post:
As a result of a long-term interest in military history and an aversion to learning social skills (Friends? Pttthhh!), I’ve read thousands of pages of historical primary documents over the years, including evidence presented in war crimes trials and eye witness statements. There is no denying that inhuman behaviour unacceptable to civilised society featured more frequently in Japanese forces than it did in their enemy’s.
That no significant responsibility for that behaviour was accepted by the post-war Japanese governments – nor insisted upon by submissive Australian authorities – while the responsible generation was still alive, leaves, in my opinion, an asterisk attached to those Japanese (wartime) and Australian (1950s to 80s) generations. The latter I regard as cowards who spat on the sacrifices of their fathers.
Having written the above, I do not believe that the sins of one generation must be borne and paid for, by their descendants. The apparent continued ignorance of that period in Japan is another matter entirely.
This is not a criticism of Knuckles, but a simple statement of opinion, for what that is worth.
Carry on.
My opinion precisely, and yet Germany which has admitted its actions, paid compensation to the victims, rewritten its laws to bring to justice the criminal element of the Third Reich, continues to be targeted in a way that Japan is not.
And the worst offenders claim Christian virtue while ignoring the Bibles teachings on forgiveness.
The refusal to forgive the German peoples for crimes they DID NOT COMMIT is hypocrisy.
Watched the v8 Supercars at Adelaide, Sunday. Chas Mostert led the race up until 5 or so laps from the end. Red bull driver Feeney was on his tail for most of the race. Feeney had amassed 30 seconds of penalty and had no chance of winning. A few laps from the end Feeney, unable to pass the leader, tapped Mostert at a corner and put him into the wall, damaging his leading car and losing precious time, this allowed third placed Red Bull team mate Brown to catch Mostert and win the lollies. Had Feeney been required to serve his penalties during the race , Mostert would have won comfortably. Nice teamwork by Red Bull.
lotta bull to me…..
I reckon they should have to serve the penalty within two laps. Standing still in the pits, no work to be done to the car. I liked Mark Larkhams precis about how Brown was not the best all year yet still still won the drivers championship. He made the most of every race, something our mediocre politicians should pay heed to. Some chance.

Life as normal in the Top End: 18 months for putting someone in a wheelchair as a quadriplegic for the rest of her life
Katherine mum jailed for stabbing cousin in neck, making her a quadriplegic
A 27-year-old Big Rivers woman who became intoxicated at a family birthday party stabbed her cousin twice with a butter knife, the second blow penetrating into the victim’s spinal cord, a court has heard.
A 27-year-old Big Rivers woman who became intoxicated at a family birthday party stabbed her cousin twice with a butter knife, the second blow penetrating into the victim’s spinal cord, a court has heard.
Katherine woman Jasmine Robbo pleaded guilty in the Supreme Court at Darwin to a charge of unlawfully causing serious harm to her 32-year-old cousin.
The stabbing occurred on June 23 last year at Katherine Low Level Nature Reserve during a booze-soaked family birthday party, Robbo’s sentencing hearing before Justice Judith Kelly on November 14 heard.
Robbo and her cousin, known as AB, became involved in a fist fight about 6pm over “jealousy” issues, but were separated by family members, Justice Kelly told the court.
However, Robbo then picked up a butter knife and stabbed AB in the ribcage, causing a laceration.
A second swing missed, but the third, aimed at the base of AB’s neck, connected flush and “deeply penetrated” towards the spine, causing AB to “slump down in a sitting position”.
Police and paramedics were called, and Robbo was arrested.
The injuries caused to AB by the stab to her neck were catastrophic, Justice Kelly said.
The blow severed the spinal cord at the C5 vertebrae, leading to a subarachnoid haemorrhage and leakage of cerebropinal fluid.
AB spent two months connected to a ventilator and suffered a number of infections, as well as deep vein thrombosis.
Attempts to surgically fuse the damaged spinal cord were unsuccessful, leaving AB, a mother of three, a quadriplegic.
“She is going to need 24-hour treatment and care for the rest of her life,” Justice Kelly said.
“What you did, you did in anger, uncontrolled, while you were intoxicated, but it has had the most devastating effect on this woman’s life.”
In mitigation, the judge told the court Robbo had no criminal history and a “very deprived” childhood.
Born in Alice Springs but growing up between Katherine and Kalkarindji, Robbo was shunted between various family members and experienced “lack of supervision, deprivation… [and witnessed] alcohol abuse and violence in the family,” Justice Jelly said.
The court heard the defendant gave birth to the first of her three children at the tender age of 16, but Robbo suffered “significant domestic violence” at the hands of the children’s father, and also became an alcoholic during the course of the relationship, which ended in 2022.
A psychological report diagnosed Robbo as experiencing complex post-traumatic stress disorder, which left her with difficulties regulating her emotions and impulsivity, Justice Kelly told the court.
Robbo’s deprived upbringing and complex PTSD lessened her moral culpability (known as the Bugmy principle), Justice Kelly found.
She sentenced Robbo to five years’ imprisonment, backdated to her arrest and remand last June.
Justice Kelly ordered the jail term suspended after 18 months, for an operational period of three and a half years, conditional upon Robbo being under the supervision of a Probation and Parole officer, and abstain from alcohol consumption.

Sticking knives in people is basically a lottery. Stab them 50 times in the right place and they walk away. Stab them once with a 5cm paring knife in the right place and they’re dead. Always a serious crime.

Just watched a clip from the Sawn Ryan show with an American business / chamber of commerce/ world bank type who has done a bunch of deals in China complaining about the lack of morality of the Chinese.
The thing that strikes me is the astonishing lack of accountability and inability to take responsibility of these types.
What we are going to see is American businesses leave China having learnt nothing, done no reflection on what went wrong and their own part in it.
They went there because that country offered dirt cheap wages and the partnership of a crony, corrupt and despotic communist totalitarian regime.
Was it so hard to predict that those same people would systematically steal IP, run the factories off shift producing knock offs, and change contracts at the last minute?
When you go somewhere because of the lack of standards and safeguards, and then complain you got played, that makes you worse than a mug. It makes you a patsy who helped play yourself.
As stated, these corporations and businesses haven’t learnt a thing, and God alone knows what that will lead to as they withdraw from China, blaming the Chinese and setting themselves up to repeat the same mistakes plus probably a whole bunch of new ones elsewhere.

QLD Premier David Crisafulli has told the LNP’s state council the party is not a vehicle to “fight the culture wars”, amidst member disquiet over his refusal to canvas changes in policy regarding late term abortion and nuclear power which would have strong grassroots support.
“The LNP is a vehicle for empty suited, milquetoast careerists.”
Wait, no…he didn’t say that. But he might as well have.
“The people of Qld gave the LNP a strong mandate to star as the antagonists in a reality series concerning the ongoing zombie apocalypse.
Forget about the voters; the election is over. They are dead to you. Now bring in the lunch.”
Nuclear power is engineering not culture.

In Turd World news:
Police should concentrate on tackling crime, says Starmer in free speech row over Allison Pearson tweet
Well, that’s not exactly what Starmer had to say in his gush of weasel words when asked ‘whether police should be prioritising free speech over hurt feelings’:
In the case of Allison Pearson, The Plod collective is doing exactly that. Looking after its community.
Pearson posted, then withdrew, critical comments on a picture of Greater Manchester police smilingly posing with UK members of Imran Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party – a Pakistani grouping, traditionally immersed in anti-semitism, and currently supporting a Hamas-led Palestinian solution.
Following a complaint to the Met, the Sussex and, finally, Essex constabulary have progressively raised the issue to a major crime status (the ‘gold group’ priority investigation into Pearson’s hideous crime is now being run by an Assistant Commissioner).
The escalation probably has nothing at all to do with the Pakistani community outrage over the Manchester fuzz ‘torturing’ peaceful folk at Manchester Airport.
Or expected crime yet to be committed by excitable persons.
Out of control.

The Honourable Bob Carr is Industry Professor (Business and Climate Change) at UTS, where his deep understanding of the climate change policy landscape, both in Australia and internationally, and his extensive industry networks, are helping translate UTS’s climate change expertise into real world impact.
The Billabong creature abides…..
I suspect that all he really does (for a large swag of Gs) is open doors for them using his ex Premier and Foreign minister rolodex.
I know just the people to help:
The prog-left can’t resist politicising everything, including the issue of sexual predation, in order to maintain the illusion of their moral superiority.
It’s juvenile behaviour extended into middle age and beyond.
And it is an illusion. More leftard politicians than conservatives have been convicted as “rock spiders”.
Well there is that. Misinformation I’m sure.
Iirc, Carr now lives in NZ.
In which case, how many trans-Tasman flights does he clock up a year?
Nothing honourable about him.
Thorpe is a complete fraud, like a lot of others of the Stollen Generation (h/t Tim Blair). She has eff all aboriginal dna.
And shame on Sky for giving her a pulpit.
It’s interesting that indig DNA seems to possess a measurably larger capacity to store/transport ‘historical trauma’ than non-indig DNA. Unless, of course, non-indig history is completely free of any and all experience of trauma; therefore there being none for the DNA to absorb and store. I wonder if any psyciency studies have been conducted on this intriguing subject?
Lidia Thorpe faces Senate censure over antics at King Charles’ speechSarah Ison and Noah Yim

Controversial independent senator Lidia Thorpe has been censured after the major parties combined to pass the motion in response to her protest of King Charles III last month.
Censure motions were passed against Thorpe and United Australia senator Ralph Babet, who posted “racist and homophobic slurs” on X last week.
The Greens, David Pocock, and Nationals senator Matt Canavan voted against the censure motion against Senator Thorpe.
Before the motion, Senator Thorpe said that the major parties were “giving her a renewed opportunity” to call out injustice and call for a Treaty.
“This motion shows where the major parties priorities lie. They don’t stand with First Peoples in this country. They stand against justice for our people, preferring instead to defend a foreign king, rather than listen to the truth,” she said.
“My allegiance is to the True Sovereigns of this country. Not some King who thinks he’s sovereign. In no way do I regret protesting the King. I would do it again. It is time this country reckons with its history, and puts a stop to the continuing Genocide on First Peoples.”
At one point during deliberations, Senator Thorpe entered the chamber to yell, “shame on you all” at the senators while the Senate President called her to order.

Carr now lives in NZ.
Umm, no, Bob Carr does not live in NZ. He lives where he has always lived, here in Sydney’s eastern suburbs. He now lives in Coogee, having sold his Maroubra residence after his wife died last year….
The sale plans follow the sudden death of Carr’s wife of 50 years in October last year, and his subsequent plans to move to Coogee, where he recently purchased a penthouse overlooking the beach for $8.8 million.
I often see Carr catching the bus to Coogee. I despise the man.
But it’s interesting isn’t it just how well former Labor politicians do in retirement? Those three amigos, Hawke, Keating and Carr, all did very well with their Chinese business associations (cough).
People in penthouses shouldn’t catch buses.
I used to have a bit of time for Carr in his younger days. He was commendably anti-Soviet, for one thing. But in those days he had sensible members of the working class like Ducker, Unsworth and MacBean to keep his feet on the ground.

Being censured is like being flogged with warm lettuce.
… continuing Genocide …
Either we’re using the wrong tools or productivity is far below scratch, because this genocide business has taken, what … 136 years so far? Could we borrow Mr. Musk and Mr. Ramaswamy for a bit to streamline things?
254 years, if we count from the arrival of HM Barque Endevour.
Australian productivity is poor, I agree Muddy.
Matt Canavan? He better have a good excuse for voting against the censure.
They couldn’t censure her on her own. They had to throw a righty in as well, whatever he did.
This is long overdue but pointless at this late stage.

Matt Gaetz just resigned from the House to avoid publicity for raping a victim of child sex trafficking, and to take up the position of US Attorney General in a Republican administration.

Not sure that Gaetz will be confirmed but he sure has a powerful incentive to run a bulldozer through the DoJ, as you just demonstrated.
The AJ story sounds like a load of tosh.
So, at age 63, he just decided to start touching people inappropriately?
I’ll wait and see what “evidence” they’ve got.
As usual, there will be no evidence – just hearsay.
It’s about time we started pushing this lawfare back.
Kathy Sherriff would like to have a word in court as well.
It started happening at age 63, because the gullible twits who’ve “come forward” weren’t born when he was younger.
i.e. they couldn’t find anybody of an earlier era prepared to perjure themselves

Isn’t it weird how the resident Nazi gets oddly excited and hot under the collar about sexual assault allegations directed against conservatives yet I must remind everyone here that this same Nazi has uttered not a word, or a peep or a whisper of condemnation about the real sexual assault that occurred in southern Israel on October 7 2023.

Currently reading RAILROAD OF DEATH by John Coast a British officer, captured in Singapore
If you have the opportunity get hold of and read a book called ‘The Boneman of Kokoda”, the story of Kokichi Nishimura who was on the opposite side during the Kokoda campaign. An amazing story of an incredible man. It certainly helped soften my perspective of those terrible times.
On my reading list: Kokoda Legend, Captain Sam Templeton, by David Howell.
The Boneman book was an excellent read.

Apologies for my pedantry, but Monty’s comment at 12:03 p.m. is not in the best interests of the blog. I could be wrong, but I’m not aware that the subject has been formally charged and found guilty of the offence alleged.
Unlikely though it is someone with links to the subject will read the comment, it might be worth considering removing it. I’m happy to withdraw and apologise if I’m found to be over-reacting.
Agree.
My first thought upon reading the disgusting turd’s words.
The presumption of innocence doesn’t apply to nasty conservativeses these days: cf. Pell, Porter, Lehrmann for a start. Now that the ACT chief justice has outed herself as a woke warrior, it’s no surprise that she let Wilkinson and Higgins get away with flagrant contempt of court.
United Nations (U.N.) Secretary-General António Guterres has launched a scaremongering campaign, asserting that climate change is destroying lives and economies around the world.
“No country is spared from the effects of climate disasters,” the Portuguese socialist wrote Saturday. “They kill people — everywhere.” Guterres continued, “Ubiquitous death is not the only consequence of global warming, he warned, because in a global economy, supply chain shocks caused by climate change also “raise costs — everywhere.” https://www.breitbart.com/environment/2024/11/17/u-n-alarmist-in-chief-climate-disasters-kill-people-everywhere/
The “ratchet effect’ of introducing unreliable wind and solar power that has to be firmed by a duplicate power source is causing power prices to soar ever upwards. It is fallacious to point the finger at so-called climate change and is aimed at misdirecting the focus away from real cause. It is no co-incidence that every western economy that has introduced unreliable renewable energy and other green initiatives is seeing its economy falter and business activity go backwards inline with the renewable rollout.
For the activists that’s a feature not a bug.
At some point the UN and their officials will be seen as the boy who cried wolf. The sooner, the better, the world needs a break from these charlatans.

It’s worthy of noting that Libs had the state legislature in NSW for a long time and all they ever did was make it easier to prosecute people based on nothing more than an allegation.
How long before a man thrown in prison for a crime he didn’t commit takes his anger out on society upon release?
Were that to happen to me, I’m not sure about taking anything out on “society”, however the police officers & prosecutors involved would have cause for concern.

What is behind the story that Der Sturmer was previously acting as lawyer for AR’s father? What was the case about?
Something to do with Starmer as a young lawyer successfully defending the father (back in 2003) from being deported for very serious crimes committed in Rwanda, I believe.
I stand to be corrected.
Caroline Kennedy’s speech at the National Press Club (which was very early to feature computer games way back) had many nice diplomatic bits. It was spoiled somewhat by some rather unattractive SBS bint who wanted to stick the knife into Tulsi Gabbard. Caroline side stepped her “lefty losing it” question quite adroitly.
On the other hand, her gushy endorsement of Penny Wrong was unnecessary.
A peer-reviewed University of WA study published last week in the journal Addiction Biology argues that cannabis use can cause cellular inflammation that may lead to an increased risk of cancerous tumours, pre-mature ageing, birth defects & a heightened risk of cancer in offspring.

Ah… so its Kate McClymont behind the AJ story…
The pattern is familiar but I’ll await actual evidence rather than make unfounded claims.
The actual evidence will be “honest recollections” by a couple of chancers.
McClymont’s record is better than Louise Nilligan but as Lysander said better wait till the”evidence” is tested in court. That old BBC newsreader got done. Wait and see.
Another stupid jismist asked about RFK Jnr. making “vaccines more unacceptable” – as someone else said recently, RFK has had all the usual safe kiddy vaccines – he’s only having a problem as many of us have with the dodgy ones.
The standard of Australian journalists is so woeful – did he really expect her to bag her cousin, particularly when so much of the criticism is not well-founded, and the concern for American health is a family concern, not just RFK jr.
Just wondering if under Albo’s censorship laws a Southport type scandal and the PM’s direct involvement in it could be covered up by such a law.
I suspect the MSM wouldn’t touch such a story with a barge pole.
The MSM are information launderers for the establishment.

But the two parties here, in effect, are Russia and the United States. Whatever Trump says, he has to convince Putin and his successors in the political elite, that the US won’t renege on whatever is decided, in ten or twenty years time. If he thinks that this is just a respite for Ukraine, while it and NATO rearm, only to take up the bit two Presidents down the road, why would he (and they) prefer that to the present?
Ten or twenty years time?
Yes, they will want something that indicates the Blob and not merely the Trump admin. accepts the terms.
If the Blob has a say, it will be for nuclear war.
Speaking of kiddie sex trafficking, how’s the Diddles/Hollyweirdo imbroglio playing out, mUttley?

These 8 Biden Cabinet members had no prior experience in the portfolio they became Secretary for:
1. Pete Buttijuice – Secretary of Transportation
2. Marty Walsh – Secretary of Labor
3. Xavier Becerra – Secretary of Health and Human Services
4. Gina Raimondo – Secretary of Commerce
5. Jennifer Granholm – Secretary of Energy
6. Miguel Cardona – Secretary of Education
7. Alejandro Mayorkas – Secretary of Homeland Security
8. Marcia Fudge – Secretary of Housing and Urban Development
I’ve gone easy on the remaining 7 Secretaries but, out of the 15 of them, there are still quite a few “line balls.”
(bit late) re Knuckle Dragger on the weekend thread…
Credit where it is due, she did sport the one truly great hairdo to come out of the Covid insurgency.
LOL.
Matt Gaetz just resigned from the House to avoid publicity for raping a victim of child sex trafficking, and to take up the position of US Attorney General in a Republican administration.
This is a summary of the charges against Gaetz:
Woman told House ethics panel that Matt Gaetz had sex with her when she was 17: report
This apparently is the woman who made the complaint:
That thing, is supposed to be in its twenties according to the article.
A practicing cadaver.
Claims from people with coloured hair should be statute barred.
Apparently it’s not.
I was joking; the complainant is not actually e. jean but someone of a similar mindset.
If the allegation is true, Gaetz needs an eye test.
Is the “‘smoking gun’ contemporaneous, jailhouse writing, documenting the plot” available publically anywhere?
Started watching a video on German legislation to stop egg hatcheries from killing the male hatchlings, which are completely useless economically for anything.
I just can’t.
I gave up after listening to the German minister saying “It’s not acceptable to kill an animal straight after hatching just because it is born a certain sex”.
There are around 100,000 abortions performed in Germany per year.
Suspect Biden’s allowance of Ukraine to use US missiles within Russia is an attempt to take one of Trump’s bargaining chips off the table before he can use it.
A deterrence is no longer a detterance once it has been used and countered.
Biden is an evil miserable old bastard, now making decisions directly costing both Russian and Ukrainian lives and weakening Trump’s hand.
“evil miserable old bastard” describes all leftards.
But the two parties here, in effect, are Russia and the United States. Whatever Trump says, he has to convince Putin and his successors in the political elite, that the US won’t renege on whatever is decided, in ten or twenty years time.
Although the UN is an untrustworthy actor, the sanest policy would be to have elections held in the disputed Russian speaking areas. This was done in Cambodia when, as I recall, Australia supervised the voting. The UN also was reasonably effective in finishing the hostilities in the former Yugoslavia and separating the contenders into separate entities.
Personally, I think Trump should “suggest” to Zelensky that he should retire with whatever wealth he has accumulated to some villa on the Riviera. NATO and other western nations should be encouraged to rebuild Ukraine.
I also think that Russia should be allowed to join NATO. But that really is dreaming.
Absolutely not.
The Russian president is a former officer of the Soviet Union’s spy agency, the KGB, which was responsible for jailing and even killing enemies of the state.
He is also corrupt and has diverted billions of dollars from the Russian treasury to his own private bank accounts.
Putin is now collaborating with the West’s enemies — communist China, Iran and North Korea.
Not to mention that he rigs Russian elections.
When China decides to challenge the “unequal treaties” (Siberia), Wussia will be looking for help.
It’s always the oggily ones.
This one in particular looks like a bowl of Doritos that’s been swallowed whole, and only partially digested.
Haunting imagery there. I had a handful of doritos last night myself.
“Matt Gaetz just resigned from the House to avoid publicity”
Someone actually wrote that.
Yes really.
Only mUnty.
So not a real intellect.
Not even close. An ex j’ismist apparently.
My son is watching Hillbilly Elegy.

Jones charged:
Veteran broadcaster Alan Jones has been charged for indecent assault and touching offences spanning more than two decades.
NSW Police charged the former 2GB radio host with 24 offences against eight victims, after arresting him at his luxury Circular Quay apartment around 7.45am on Monday morning.
Jones has been granted conditional bail, and will appear in the Downing Centre local court on December 18.
The charges included 11 counts of aggravated indecent assault (victim under authority of offender), nine counts of assault with act of indecency, two counts of sexually touching another person without consent and two counts of common assault.
Shirley, his ‘ra ra” coaching should be taken into account..? .. After all, that Broncos grub in QLD has been given “lettuce leaf slapping” charges cos “thugby” player …….!
Oz .. land of the multi-tiered justice system .. FFS!
Good. Let’s get this stuff into court ASAP where NSW Plod’s “victims” can be cross-examined.
Alan Jones should be assured that ordinary people are on his side and we’re sick of the injustice meted out to enemies of the regime.
If this happens gonna chalk it up as a Trump win.

Clever …! LOL!
That’s funny!
I used to have a cat who took great delight in pushing eggs off the kitchen bench, if I were silly enough to leave them for a few minutes.
I bought plastic eggs for him. When he realised there was no satisfying splat, he gave up. He did hold a grudge against me for a long time. LOL!!!
Heh. That was amusing. Thanks.

Yes! .. but you have to remember the Demonratz vote “en-masse” for their Presidential picks .. The Republicans are saddled with their RINOs voting with the Demons ……
It’s always the oggily ones.
This one in particular looks like a bowl of Doritos that’s been swallowed whole, and only partially digested.
It’s actually E. Jean Carroll the loon who claimed Trump raped her but would not say where or when. Trump was not found guilty of rape but guilty of sexual assault for saying in response to E. Jean’s bullshit that she was not his type.
I thought you guys would recognise E. Jean; but anyway my point is I reckon the claims against Gaetz will have the same merit as E. Jean’s.
I don’t think I’d like to associate with the people that think she is the type.
Gaetz at least has the advantage of the report being at a specific time and place, and there were multiple people at this party.
Trump should offer nuclear missiles to both Ukraine and Taiwan. Let the cards fall where they may.
Taiwan might already have them.
Then, that’s one or two more for Ukraine. That’s how you escalate. Putin has made enough threats about the use of nukes, so Ukraine should be offered the ability to retaliate in kind.
Maybe, but that bargaining chip was never going to dissuade Russia from the June ceasefire offer at a minimum. What the green light today opens up is retaliation in another theatre.
The DOJ investigated the accusations against Gaetz and found them to be not credible. Keep in mind, this was under the “Hiden” DOJ. I also read earlier today that the man who made the accusation had previously made the exact same claim against someone else.
Don’t bother FatBoy with facts, feelz are much more important.
LOL, The Russians did this weekend, hitting population centres and electricity plants.
As to that silly denial that Nork troops are currently supporting the Orcs: Biden and Xi were is discussions about this very thing at their Lima meetup.
E. Jean Carroll is someone who I’ve not spent a whole lot of time gazing at nor memorizing image of.
Not so Cohenite, it would seem.
I’ve only seen photos where she has horrible, spiky, blonde hair.
Ugly either way.
Difficult to tell as the pic isn’t full length – but E. Jean Carroll may well be what is colloquially regarded in some circles as a ‘cute owl’.
Eye of the beholder, and so on.
She’s what’s regarded in sane circles as a “Frightbat”, or perhaps “totally crazy old bat”

Robbers get surprised by an Off-duty Cop in Brazil
Yes I actually reported that myself but that isn’t the theatre I had in mind.
Sure, it’s ‘silly’ to deny what hasn’t yet been demonstrated even with the profusion of drones on the battlefield.
Idle curiosity.
Supposing that Trump is going to be obstructed, stifled to frustration by the Dems, supported by the Rinos so much that he pulls the plug at the appropriate time to give JD a chance to still run for another two terms?
How would they treat JD then?
I know it’s unlikely but a possible scenario.
He could have avoided all the lawsuits and aggravation just playing golf and going on holidays not stretching himself out with rallies.
He is not a quitter but still, anything can happen.
My guess (NOT a prediction) is that he will stay for the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence in 2026, and resign around mid-2027, leaving JDV with 18 months of Trump’s term, and the opportunity for eight more years.

Shirley it would be possible to arrange adoption for any excess roosters as family pets. Or perhaps reservations, where roosters can live their best, most respectful same sex lives.
Is there that much difference between the sexes for eating purposes?
Genuine question, all you chook farmers out there.
Capon (castrated chicken) used to be a popular meal in centuries past.
Still very popular in France. Although, they now use chemical castration. Castrating chooks is a specialised, yet dying art.
Winston,
hens have more meat overall than cockerels.
More breast meat, more leg meat etc. Much like humans. 😀
Cockerels are stringier, with less meat. Very tasty though.
They also don’t lay many eggs.

As if we don’t already have enough suburban noise pollution from barking effin dogs. We don’t need roosters crowing at 3am because the Moon rose.
Defeather them, chop their heads off and freeze them. Sell ’em in supermarkets.
That’ll stop the bloody crowing.
An air rifle pellet in the brain stops it also.
LOL Used to live in a small country town. 500 pop. Cropping and sheep country. Western Vic.
Quite a lot of house blocks were half-acre. A sheep or two as lawnmowers etc Occasionally some fuckhead, a blow in, would have a rooster. They were banned as per council regulations within a mile of town etc. You’d call the Ranger. Did that a couple of times.
Our local council bans roosters. When my neighbour had one, we agreed that we would say that it identified as a hen.
