Apologies if already posted. https://oversight.house.gov/release/breaking-hhs-formally-debars-ecohealth-alliance-dr-peter-daszak-after-covid-select-reveals-pandemic-era-wrongdoing/ I would have thought the Biden administration formally banning Daszak would have been bigger news.

Jaguar (and Range Rover) is owned by Tata Motors. Can’t believe they signed off on the new marketing.
The Indians are steadily destroying Britains manufacturing base. Or do we think the closing down of the steel industry is just a coincidence?
This is about revenge for the British Raj.
They paid billions for this asset. Lot of money to waste to exact revenge.
It’s not wasted – they are building their own replacement factories and mills. This is about eliminating a competitor – I thought that would be obvious.
IMO Jaguar lost its credibility when Ford bought them. Selling Mondeos badged as jags.
Well, at least they didn’t break down as often. But yeah.
Ha ha yes
Jaguar lost their credibility with the first XJ series, as beautiful and good as it was, the brand never recovered from how unreliable they were.

Sydney is waking up to this todaay:
A car has been torched and up to a dozen others vandalised with anti-Israel graffiti in an early morning attack in a prominent Jewish area of Sydney’s eastern suburbs.
Police and fire crews arrived at Wellington St in Woollahra shortly before 1am after receiving multiple reports of a car on fire.
Fire crews were able to extinguish the blaze, but the car was destroyed.
A large number of cars in surrounding streets had been spray-painted with the words “f..k Israel.”
It is understood no one was injured in the attack.
Forensic police teams have cordoned off several crime scenes.
Police have requested anyone with information or dash cam footage to come forward.
Why not check the residents’ security cameras, if I have them I’m sure they do too.
Police have requested anyone with information or dash cam footage to come forward.
Hahahahaha, like they’ll do anything with it? Have a riot at a church because of police inaction & they’ll be all over you like a kid on a cup cake. Is this call for info to look like they are doing something and because “so called and still unnamed expert” put another permutation on F@#K Israel this time round?
My 2c worth, the only part of the police force in a number of states that seems to work is the Traffic Enforcement division, funny that…
Not unexpected.
It’s the precise outcome that NSW Police and the NSW Government have been fishing for.
The police because it delivers more funding to ‘fight crime’, and the government because it enables more restrictive legislation against the naive population.
BB – if there’s a bigger deadsh*t blighting our beloved braindead lamestream meeja than Baul Parry, I don’t want to know who they are.

I feel sick. From The Oz, Jew hatred overnight in Sydney, in a Jewish suburb……I’ll just preface this, I am very concerned, this Jew hatred in Woollahra is very close to a Jewish hospital.
I will also add this, we Jews don’t go to Muslim suburbs such as Lakemba, Bankstown, Greenacre and so on, we don’t pull down Pallie Nazi flags, we don’t set fire to cars, we don’t scream abuse at Muslims, we don’t torch Muslim owned businesses, we don’t stand outside mosques and hurl abuse, and so on, oh but then again, unlike the leftist and Muslim Nazi scum, we would not be provided with a personal police escort!

Let my just state this, the above is not ‘anti-Israel’, it is ‘anti-Jews’.
Remember those threats screamed by frothing Muslim and leftist Nazis on Monday night 9 October 2023 is about to happen……..
Gas the Jews
F*ck the Jews
and the most chilling…….
Where’s the Jews
Well, those threats are now coming to fruition And whilst today these Muslim and leftist Nazis are torching cars, tomorrow they will be torching Jewish people. The fact this Nazi scum are emboldened to enter suburbs where Jews live tells you everything about this country in 2024.
I guess Paul Barry and other scum on the left, including the Nazi here, thinks we Jews are to blame for this.
The other day, visiting my mother, my mother’s friend popped in. We spoke about many things, how this country has changed and so on but she said this, that when it comes to the explosion and normalisation of Jew hatred in this country since October 7 2023, the buck stops with…..

Only the squeaky wheel gets the oil, etc.
The Jewish community’s refusal to stand up for itself, against the knowledge that the government won’t protect it, is making itself into a punching bag. And you know what happens to punching bags, don’t you?
Islam will only stop when it gets a punch on the snout.
The government will only stand up and help when the mayhem on the streets costs it votes.
It’s successive Australian governments that haven’t “stood up for any of us”. We knew forty years ago that non-discriminatory immigration was a crock, and particularly so regards muslims. Asians have proved to be quite ok! Back when we mainly got our immigrants from Europe there was some trouble between Serbs and Croats, but nothing on the scale of the post-Cronulla outbreak, and nothing on the scale of what we’ve seen for the past year.
Good Lord according to Paul Barry, they were the instigators. Daily Telegraph:
Karen Webb. Show some spine and go after these arsehats. They must be apprehended and given some treatment, preferably like the IDF are doing.
The Chinese communists are arseholes, no doubt.
Now can we talk about Daniel Duggan in solitary for well over a year now?
I am very distressed about a lot of things but this ‘incident’ in Woollahra is really upsetting me.
Truly disgusting Cassie. How far this country has fallen.
The fall correlates with the current Labor governments. This would not be tolerated by Liberal governments no matter how weak we think they are.
Thanks minns – you useless labore piece of excrement. Hang your empty head in shame you disgusting moron – oh and thanks for the three day train strike as well, you monumental dickhead.

Snap Top Ender and Cassie.
I think we know the answer. Will the Commish pour the same resources into finding the perpetrators, like she has with old mate who was stabbed in the eye and that aftermath?
Islam appeasing filth. And no I am not a bigot for saying this.
Islam has no place here.
BB, I venture that most here, are in total agreement with you.
Rabz add the protest at the Newcastle harbour to Minns’ most dishonorable roll call of shame.
Just lunacy on a grand scale.
Every Labor government degenerates into chaos. It’s who they are.
It’s a dictatorship of the minorities.
The majorities are getting no say in it at all. And it serves us right for putting up with it.
The MunTard’s twin, then.’
I can confirm that a car that was vandalised overnight in Woollahra with the words ‘F*ck Israel’ happened directly outside Wolper Jewish hospital.
Then there should be security camera footage, yes?
It is disgusting, Cassie. I hope the hospital has increased security and that the police actually are forced to do their job over this.
Meanwhile, try to be calm yourself and not let the vibes of this incident affect your seriously ill mum. She needs a peaceful environment right now. Very difficult for you to have this nightmare erupt at this time.
Or at any time.
That is truly sickening. Every sympathy.
Completely off topic as usual.
There is so much history out there that we never hear of.
I never trust any historian who claims to be just a historian, one cannot be such. You have to be specialized in area-time-culture to be credible.
What inspired this rant;
——————–
Levan (Leon) II Dadiani was the greatest prince of Odishi (Mingrelia) in history. In the 17th century, when eastern Georgia was conquered by Persia, he took on the leadership of all Georgian provinces and did everything to unite the Georgians, not only politically but also culturally.
Levan II renovated and rebuilt numerous churches and castles, including the Georgian Monastery of the Holy Cross in Jerusalem, and paid all the debts of the latter.
He also ordered the rewriting of the world masterpiece by Rustaveli, The Knight in the Panther’s Skin. This particular manuscript is considered the earliest dated known version of the poem.
This version corrects grammar, punctuation, and some phrasing while retaining the meaning of your original text.
He was crowned at the age of 14 and ruled the country for 46 years. During his reign, Odishi reached the peak of its political power, cultural influence and military strength.
I enjoy your off-topic snippets, Kevin. Please continue.
A true genius.
I like to play, winning is good but not the aim for me, learning the tactics of the opponent and applying it next time is more fun.
——–
After retiring from chess for approximately 9 years, in 1981, American chess legend Bobby Fischer agreed to play with Canadian Grandmaster Peter Biyiasas at the pinnacle of his glory and powers, and Bobby Fischer defeated him 17 times in a row.
“He was so good, so good that defeating him was impossible and there was no point in playing with him, and there was no excitement or fun in it.” They were beating me and I didn’t know why or what I had done wrong. and the most disappointing thing was that I didn’t even make it to the final stage with him.”
At one point, I would always lose in the intermediate stage at maximum and, what’s more, Bobby never took the time to think he wasn’t a rival. , and that there was no one worthy of the honor of fighting against him, and I, having been his opponent, bear witness to this indisputable fact.
It’s worth noting that computers ranked Bobby Fischer as the greatest chess player of all time, and his arch-rival, the legendary Mikhail Tal, described him as “the greatest genius to ever descend from the firmament of chess.”

There used to be a school of thought that Labor governments would keep unions under control and LNP governments would have endless trouble with Trades Hall.
But, with the ALP in power in Canberra and four states, including NSW and Victoria, Australian unions are out of control — especially now they no longer need members and get their cash flow from compulsory superannuation management fees.
Needless to say, transport unions therefore no longer give a stuff about the public and commuters — in Sydney, that’s supposed to be Pretty Boy Minns’s job.
Never forget it’s the trade union party. The unions came first and wear the pants. Their quislings in parliament are subservient to their paymasters at Trades Hall.
All true, except that Minister Jo is a lot prettier than Minns. A lot prettier than most Labor molls.

Good Lord according to Paul Barry, they were the instigators. Daily Telegraph:
Lakemba or Auburn are never referred to as Muslim enclaves. There are also huge Muslim “enclaves” in every suburb in the Bankstown area, Liverpool area, Fairfield, Granville etc. If they did that the list could be frighteningly long and give a different impression about that population.
Fairfield is not a “muslim” enclave .. A mid east majority .. YES .. but mostly Assyrian and Christian faith ….. the muslim sector is based around Fairfield CBD & out towards Fairfield East/West .. all the other surrounding Fairfield area suburbs (70% of Fairfield) are predominantly Assyrian …..
How quickly we went from “We aren’t going to change the demography of Australia” to “Well, it’s changed now, and we must accept that reality. Act accordingly, and show respect”.
This is the sort of lunacy they had in store. Thank God Trump won.

Why did the road to Albo’s house get an extra $70 million in funding? – 04.11.24
If this isn’t dodgy I don’t know what is!
Looks like Albo has been sticking his hands in the cookie jar.
In estimates I found out that what was an initial commitment of $30 million to fund a road on the central coast has been upgraded to $100 million with no actual reason as to why?
It turns out this road is the road that leads to Albanese new beach house.
Furthermore the NSW Government or the local council didn’t feel the need to contribute an extra cents.
Was Albanese using taxpayer dollars to impress his new girlfriend?
We know he likes to call his mate Joyce for flight upgrades, so he clearly doesn’t mind milking the system.
Not only does this look dodgy, it’s also hypocritical.
Albanese jumped up and down when the prior government paid $30 million for a vital piece of land in regards to Western Sydney Airport, yet he is more than happy to splurge more than 3 times that for a road that isn’t even the responsibility of the Federal government.
There has been a local area residents campaign to upgrade the (as it’s known) “5 beaches” road for at least 10 years but until now it fell on deaf ears ..!
Ironically, it’s straight out of the Bjelke-Petersen playbook. Remember the highway to the farm owned by John’s son?

We need three results in all trials involving crimes that may or may not have happened (as opposed to crimes that did happen but the guilty party is not established). Guilty, Not Proven and Innocent. If “Innocent” the accuser gets a mandatory 10 year jail sentence and the prosecution team face a $10 million fine to be paid to the accused.
I’m sure a lot of it is exactly this.

You are male. You are not female. Stop trying to forcibly enter women’s bathrooms. You are not engaging with anyone “respectfully.” You are attempting to emotionally blackmail actual women into accept men in their restrooms and locker rooms. Not because you need to—your office has its own private bathroom—but because you enjoy forcing women to submit to your demands.
These people deeply hate women.
Most toilets have a separate room for the disabled to use.
If you disable yourself by trying to be a sex you are not, then feel free to use the disabled facilities.
That’s what I’d say to any shemale I find in female areas.
That Jaguar advert is like watching the last sci fi film or advert from the seventies featuring “futuristic” metallic silver clothing or the last film from the early eighties featuring roller skates.
You know, just know, that you are watching a thing whose time has died. It’s got the worst sort of stench to it, not the stench of death, but the stench of a thing that people have just recognised as what it is and moved on from.
It is, as the young people say, “cringe”.
We’ve moved on from the pronouns, the electrification of everything, global village, worry about the future weather, everything is an -ism, total wankery.
It was always wank, but now it’s cringe as well.
It’s as dead as a roller skating chick in a metallic silver miniskirt.
If you weren’t told it was Jaguar, it could be an ad for any number of corporations.

The Prime Minister should make a statement to Parliament, immediately, to confirm whether UK missiles have been fired into Russia.
He must tell the British public if this means we are now at war with a nuclear power, what risk this poses to people in Britain, and why this action was taken without any approval from Parliament.
I have consistently condemned Russia for its invasion of Ukraine and called for a diplomatic solution to stop the endless bloodshed.
As we edge closer and closer to catastrophe, we should be doing everything in our power to bring about de-escalation and peace. Instead, our political leaders have added fuel to the fire and gambled with people’s lives for political gain.
Presidents and Prime Ministers must know that in the event of nuclear war, nobody wins.
I’m not interested in bombs. I’m interested in peace – and I will continue to campaign for peace in Ukraine, Gaza, Yemen, Sudan, the DRC and beyond.

Regardless of how he chooses to progress this, it is absolutely critical that Trump does not allow a single leftist anywhere in the country to be in any position of power (or potential power) before he leaves office.
If the Ds take control in 2028, there will never be another election again and every member of Trump’s family (and his supporters) will be jailed. Trump has every right to take a pre-emptive strike and, unlike 8 years ago, most of his supporters understand the gravity of the situation.

Going to be a lot more like this as farming families get wiped out by the inheritance taxes and have to sell out. What is strange is that building solar farms so far north as the UK seems not very worthwhile as the Sun is well to the south, especially in winter.
Solar farms in England .. LOL! ,, As a kid growing up in County Durham Summer was any day it got warm enuf to take your jumper off .. generally, if it wasn’t blowing a gale, it was intermittent rain periods … FFS!
Rewriting the food safety laws to make the land which currently isn’t allowed to be used for human food crops, and turning them into prime crop growing land never happens either.
Dr. John Campbell
Trump’s Presidential Health Review
Yesterday I mentioned the debacle in Tasmania where final year of high school exam papers contained errors which made answering the question difficult or impossible. There were errors in five subjects
Today we find that they found a significant error in a sixth subject:
Earlier this week, Tasmanian Assessment, Standards and Certification (TASC) confirmed there were errors in five exam papers last week sat by Year 12 students for the Tasmanian Certificate of Education (TCE).
That was despite the exams going through three levels of checks, first by the exam setter, then a team of critics who proofread the paper, and then by TASC staff who do a final check.
Following mistakes in last week’s exams, TASC ran a fourth set of eyes over the other exams.
Despite that, “some errors” were found in the biology exam that was sat on Tuesday, TASC board chair Dr Natalie Brown said.
[snip]
Holly*, a Year 12 student in Hobart, had all three of her Level 3 exams affected by mistakes — physics, chemistry and, on Tuesday, biology.
“They’re not minor mistakes … it would be nice if [TASC] just took accountability.”
She said having her third exam affected had made her question herself.
“I’m looking at things and I’m like, ‘did I just not study for this? Have they just put random stuff in it? Or is it just a typo?’” she said.
Yet we have heard nothing from the Minister, whoever he/she is. Nada.
Meanwhile, the incompetents responsible are ‘reviewing their processes,’ when they should be reviewing their CVs.
The last line of the story is hilarious. With a straight face, the board chair denied that AI was used in compiling the papers. ‘We’re human and we make mistakes.’
I think she just composed the text on her own headstone. 🙂
They should have given the papers to the ultimate quality controls, students about to sit the exams.

It came to mind after Arky mentioned the B-Ark.
For some time many who were free to discuss the origin and nature of Covid19 (eg retired from the pharma or medical profession) argued that virus research was pursued in the US defence departments until gain-of-function research was banned under Obama. It was then transferred under arrangements with the lab in Wuhan, and the rest is history.
I have been sceptical about this theory of US involvement since it seemed extraordinary that cooperation between China and US could take place. However, information that has gathered over the last few years is now pretty plausible. Today Jo Nova has published an article citing the testimony of former CDC director Robert Redfield. This is linked below.
Incidentally, this morning Ben Fordham on 2GB interviewed OS research scientist Prof. Angus Dalgleish who was SCATHING about the panicked and flawed response of virtually all western governments to Covid19. Great interview. Try and listen to a replay.

Absolutely, Bruce!
No. People in the future will be even more stupid than now.
Mike Rogers getting picked as FBI Director would be a big win for the Regime.
Well, okay then, let’s see some examples where this kind of thing has happened before.
There’s currently a war against farms in the UK, driven by the hysteria surrounding gerbil warming. The average return in the farming sector is 0.5%.
The proposed tax will force the sale of non-contiguous land, making scaling operations incredibly difficult. This paints a very bearish picture for farmland in the UK.
Would you buy UK farmland in this environment? If not, why would you expect funds that must meet certain return-on-capital benchmarks to invest in it?
Don’t ignore the questions posed as I’d really like to hear your counterpoints.

Somehow I don’t think these will be very friendly to rich American lesbians for much longer.
And Ellen may find that a unionised workforce won’t put up with her alleged treatment of underlings either.

Bruce, the lunatics pushing this catastrophe are getting more shrill as the whole climate change thing is toppling over. All the way to here I kept thinking there are adults in the government and industries who will pull the plug on the idiocy but sadly they either retired or were pushed out by the infected idiots or by the fraudsters who only saw the money to be made from subsidies-fortified installations.
Nobody in positions of power and influence saw or cared about the coming crash. It’s easy to be nonchalant when you are so well off that you are insulated from the effects of your bad decisions.
If the crash coming is as big as some predict, I doubt if the so called “well off” will be sufficiently protected. The debt spiral has been deepening for years. You can warn people, but few believe it is possible.
Too big to fail.

Yep.
What has emerged since Snaggletooth assumed the role of PM is – he’s not very bright.
True, there’s not a lot of competition on the front bench. But, his primrose path to the top has never required him to compete with smart cookies on either side of politics.
If Bob Hawke was forced to give him a Ministry, it would have been the least important one he could think of, and one where legislation sharply restricted him from actually doing anything.
He’s a midget compared to anyone in the Hawke Cabinet.
Not sure the path to the top is anything more than there being no one else left. Plibbers is worse.
People in the transport sector give Albanese very low marks for his time as transport and infrastructure minister: not interested in policy, portfolio administration or anything beyond the next press release. Old hands say Peter Morris, who wasn’t one of the front rank of the Hawke government, ran rings around him as a minister.
And yet, the ‘mopposition’ cannot (will not?) wipe the floor with them.
Huge psychological barrier to using nuclear, even tactically, for demonstration purposes; particularly with the public. If you were the Russians and you wanted to regain escalation dominance, you’d be looking for ways of reasserting this short of using nuclear weapons. How do you check the US short of using nuclear weapons? One way is disabling one of their carriers. Another might be helping the Syrians to forcibly remove US troops in eastern Syria.
BTW, there has been a little talk already about the possibility of clean, low-yield tactical nukes having been used in the last 12 months.
I truly hope this is the case in the Poot’s war-footing Russia; because the loud roaring of nuclear imprecations doesn’t seem to have much practical effect.
Most nukes are relatively clean (in terms of fallout) unless they have been designed to create excess fallout with cobalt casings, OR, are detonated at very low or ground level altitude where the ground/buildings/people are vapourised and sucked into the fireball.
BTW, there has been a little talk already about the possibility of clean, low-yield tactical nukes having been used in the last 12 months.

It would appear that, as usual, Labor is looking for any hollow log full of cash they can commandeer.
He’s a midget compared to anyone in the Hawke Cabinet.
What is disturbing about today’s Labor Party is that there is no one within the party, with the courage or wit to say
“Enough, the Australian people deserve better than this. We should govern for Australia’s future, not for our own personal now.”
Until someone does, everybody in the Labor party, from the lowliest member card holder to the highest office bearer will be held responsible and be scorned forever.

Why will the sales always involve non-contiguous land? If you have areas that involve farmers in the same situation, the land sold will not always be non-contiguous. Moreover, you keep asserting that the land that may be sold will only be used for farming and not potentially converted to other purposes.
These are the same guys that heavily promoted DEI to corporates like Boeing over the last decade. Was this in order to meet certain return on capital benchmarks?
“He’s a midget compared to anyone in the Hawke Cabinet.”

“The Embassy of Israel in Australia is appalled by the anti-Semitic attack in Sydney last night,” its statement read.
“Words are no longer enough – it’s time for action.
“We stand with the Jewish community and call for immediate measures to protect and uphold the rights and safety of all citizens.”
Any truth in the rumour that MOSSAD operatives will be on the next plane from Tel Aviv?
I hope so. This bullshit has gone on long enough.
Funny you should say that since JPost reported that their were MOSSAD agents with Maccabi fans in Amsterdam over those two nights.
Funny those people leaving a country cos politics!!!
Then again…
Polls are bullshit and have no other purpose than to influence future voting patterns.
These climate change poll results don’t make sense , but then again Essential is essentially labor aligned. How can nearly 50% believe that man is not the cause of changes to climate but then 70% agree that we are doing either not enough or just Enough to combat it. And this in the face of 40% higher electricity costs and past polls that show that people are not inclined to pay much to “save the planet”.
Toropets.
Amazing how the NSW police always go missing when Mueslis go on the rampage against Jews in their residential areas or provocatively hold anti-Semitic parades.
Yes, but why should we imagine that these corporations/ funds don’t have medium-to-long term investment horizons?
Yes.
It isn’t. It speaks precisely to your claim that they are only concerned with immediate return-on-capital (short-term investment horizons).
The average sized UK farm is around 88 acres. So Blackrock (your example) is going to get giddy buying an 88 acre farm and then hope the owner of next farm and the one after that etc are going to die a few days later.
I can’t recall you doing so – can you link to your first comment on this subject?
Please leave DEI aside and let’s focus on the answers to those questions otherwise we’re just wondering around.
FFS the media know nothing. Seems there’s another victim in the Lao methanol poisoning that the 2 Melbourne 18yo girls got caught up in, 28yo Pommy as well.
I tasted lots of concoctions while on breaks in South East Asia. Some of the jungle brews were yeah na just at a sniff and that included the rot gut Lao Kao. My personal opinion is that it was one of these jungle brews poorly distilled and condensed at the wrong temperature with probably crappy distilling equipment has caused this.
It was not an exactly uncommon occurrence in some of the places I worked. Locals would tell us about someone bought a bottle of something from somewhere and a bunch of blokes from village X nearly dies or are blind now. In most rural areas still happens from what I’m told.
Methanol lacing probably happens, why would you if you knew it would kill or maim. Not good for the tourist business and all of these areas like Veng Veng are in hoc to the mafia, the fee is called the key in Thailand to run a bar. Pretty sure if someone was deliberately spiking booze with methanol they would be face down in a rice paddy somewhere.
I reckon it’s a bad batch and there wasn’t any malice behind it. Why I used to drink from closed top bottles opened in front of me. The Singapore brew Tiger was always good for that once Carlsberg stopped brewing in Bangkok.
Anyway story from News kiddies below:
https://www.news.com.au/travel/travel-updates/incidents/third-suspected-death-in-the-laos-mass-methanol-drink-poisoning-tragedy-in-laos/news-story/cf8aa8e80d4473a0e41d097f023dfbe8
Is this where the term “blind drunk” came from?
Methanol is the waste product from distilling that is best used as weed killer or lighting bbq. In the distilling method I am familiar with approximately 200 ml of methanol is first drawn off from a 25 litre sugar wash. The distillation method would produce 93% ABV and the 200 ml of methanol has a foul paint stripper smell. The sweet smelling ethanol follows about 1° rise in temperature and is only good for around 1.5 litres of ethanol at 93% ABV the residual usually being discarded. Dilution to 40% follows. These quantities would be for a great recipe online using white sugar all bran and bakers yeast maybe some Vegemite to feed the yeast. Using fruit would increase the amount of methanol taken off
The use of methanol overseas is possibly the 93% variety which should be discarded . Who knows what they use.
Why the Hell would you holiday in places like these with reputations like this?
Great moments in wedding planning.
I cried at my vegan wedding — the $15K menu was completely upstaged after guests did the unthinkable (19 Nov, via Instapundit)
I like Tom. He sounds like a very practical guy.
The bride and groom set a trap for all guests which didn’t work.
So woke that she immediately went onto anti-social media to broadcast her horror, embarrassment, and humiliation.
As you do.
Simple solution, shave all your hair and refuse sex with men. I see that as the universal solution. Kurt Gödel and Bertram Russel eat your heart out.
If she had just swallowed her pride and ignored it there would have been no story.
Instead, by making an issue of it she has publicly humiliated herself.
Talk about the Streisand Effect.
I reckon she lied about not telling the guests the food was vegan.
Have you ever met a vegan that doesn’t broadcast that fact?
No, neither have I.
Fifteen thousand dollars seems extraordinary, especially for a meal which contains no meat or seafood at all.
This is what mystified me. How large was this wedding that it cost $15,000 to feed them?
Vegan is delicious — if you’re a rabbit.
Publishing a poll is next to useless without the questions and error bands.
At best you are relying on brand name and reputation. A broad Left-Right dichotomy will generally suffice. Some of the US stuff is worse than useless, eh mUnty?
Interesting juxtaposition:
The policing of wrongspeak – Melanie Phillips
Government guidance says that non-crime hate incidents are supposed to be recorded where an incident is “clearly motivated by intentional hostility” and where there is a real risk of escalation “causing significant harm or a criminal offence”.
Yet police forces have recorded such incidents against a nine-year-old who called a primary school classmate a “retard,” and against two secondary school girls who said that another pupil smelt “like fish”. Officers similarly recorded them against a man who voiced his view on transgender pronouns; a journalist who described a challenging interview with a “deaf and dumb” person; and a vicar who told a parishioner it was a sin to be gay.
The issue blew up when a Telegraph journalist, Allison Pearson, was visited at her home by Essex police who told her that she had been accused of committing the criminal offence of stirring up racial hatred in a tweet posted a year previously. The police have indignantly denied her claim that they had first told her she was being investigated for a non-crime hate incident; but clearly an actual criminal offence is more serious, and so the treatment of Allison Pearson becomes even more invidious.

Probably getting a bit of correspondence from the ex-ADF types who don’t want to see The Futures Fund fritted away to zero either.
You could bet the first of the low hanging fruit picked to save money wouldn’t be Parliamentary Pensions or the APS.
IIRC, the Future Fund was also intended to fund the APS pensions. Not sure how the cc Parliamentary pensions are funded.

I made an error reporting on the average sized farm in the UK. I didn’t read the google blurb summary properly and assumed they were talking acres instead on hectares. It’s 82 hectares which is roughly just over 200 acres. It’s still small acreage though.
In comparison, the average sized farm in Australia is supposedly:
I find this stat astonishingly large.
JC, I would think that the immense stations out West and in the Centre would account for the average size being huge.
Incidentally, in reasonably productive land (outside of the Great Interior), you need a bare minimum of 3,000 acres to scrape a living from livestock. It may be OK if you have very productive cropping soil.
Australia has a few million ha properties that no doubt bring the average up.
One of the interesting things about Clarkson’s Farm on Prime is that it is apparently one of the larger cropping places in the UK.
The other thing is the extent of the dead hand of government in the UK regulating the hell put of farming. No doubt a hangover for the EU days that the elite has actively kept as a big FU to the brexiteers.
Nit yes, I have often though it would be a bit of lark to send his offsider Kaleb downunder to see a wheat harvest on one of those bigger operations around Goondiwidni. A squadron of big combine harvesters with a header probs three times the width of those used at Clarkson’s all doing the one paddock at once.
Some very large farms up north cannot support many head of stock unlike down south.
My forebears had 800 acres for dairy cattle in the Northern Rivers of NSW, but the farm was consolidated with others in the get big or get out era when the family sold it. The house was empty and falling down last time anyone went out to look.
In Sa 3000 acres with 3 divisions and the financial risk is substantially reduced.

… however the market for the car on the left is about 1000 times greater, so that is what will be built. As pointed out above, the Chinese only wanted the MG name for instant market recognition.
Judging by the strangely named celestial electric cars now appearing, brand name recognition is no longer vital – it will be brutal price competition for the 20% of the market considering EVs from now on. Just another discount appliance pushing match.
I was travelling a few months ago and rented a Chinese made MG. The manual deceptively proclaimed that they were a 100 year old company with a proud heritage etc etc. No doubt younger people ignorant of automotive history would be sucked in.

From what I understand the modern MG comes with lots of optional extras. Like the ability of the airbags to deploy.

No, they are going to make purchasing decisions according to a plan, with a time horizon longer than a week.
My first comment today: would buy up prime agricultural land in the UK either to consolidate them or turn them into a wind or solar farms, or residential areas, etc.
I already showed you that it is relevant to your claim that they are singularly concerned with return on capital. You don’t need to go on about DEI, I could just as well refer to their push for ‘Net Zero’; they are simply examples of it using this or that issue/ policy for purposes that have little interest in immediate return of capital. That is all I need to establish.
It’s not if you take into account that Australia is 32 times the size of the UK. I would hazard a guess that most Victorian farms don’t have 2850 hectares holdings. That number is being skewed horrendously by massive grazing holdings in the NT, QLD and WA. Best not to use average in this respect; the median would be better.
I reckon most sectors except horticulture would struggle as a stand alone enterprise in Oz at less than 1500ha.
Gina’s land holding is around 4.5 times the freaking size of Israel. In more perspective she owns the equivalent of 70% of Greece.

Oh, really? Where exactly did you show this? And you’re saying they demonstrate this by being concerned with a few hundred acres of distressed sales here and there, all thanks to the tax?
DEI is a separate subject. BlackRock could promote DEI because their benchmark is relative. They were attempting to position DEI as a governance standard across all public companies. This way, everyone’s performance would face the same penalty. This would ensure BlackRock wouldn’t be the only fund manager whose results were impacted.
A fund manager’s performance is measured against others and also against the relevant indices.
Okay, I’m not going to ask you to answer those questions again as you’re obviously not going to.
The point isn’t about the size of the country. The point is that buying scattered lots here and there, sold due to tax distress, isn’t likely to attract any interest from large funds.
a collection of small blocks are quite doable for carbon trading in higher rainfall areas. Both soil and trees. And limited land has its own value and appreciation potential, as long as purchased after a discontinuity like these fascists’ land grab.
pommy rainfall is probably enough and regularly enough to possibly make soil carbon trading viable (not so this wide brown land, no matter how much the powers that be keep on funding new research in the hopeless hope that one day get them the answer they want).
And given the number of virtue signallers infesting the UK, a small block not generating much annual return is OK for a stock trader.
anyway, amalgamations do not need to be adjacent. Just nearby so not so hard to move equipment about. They don’t even need to be nearby for livestock.

Take this on a personal level: you’re invested in a fund. The fund manager sends you his quarterly performance report along with his future investment strategy. He tells you he’s planning to buy scattered distressed farms across the UK as they hit the market. He explains that the government is targeting farmers with harsh regulations aimed at preventing gerbiling. He also notes the expected return is about 0.5%, with further capital depreciation likely in the foreseeable future.
Would you stick with this fund, or run for the nearest exit? It’s a rhetorical question, so you don’t really need to answer it.
What if he tells you they are looking into rezoning feasibility?

In the comment before your first denial: These are the same guys that heavily promoted DEI to corporates like Boeing over the last decade. Was this in order to meet certain return on capital benchmarks?
Firstly, it isn’t within the parameters it was raised. Secondly, your attempt here to rationalize their concern for DEI is not convincing. Why would they promote it anyway if their concern is singularly rate of return?
That is a plausible counter, but the alternative is also plausible (consolidating holdings of those plots purchased normally and under distress over longer timelines, and it is even more plausible if you imagine they also intend to put some of those holdings purchased to other uses beyond farming.
The weekly dose. Enjoy.
The Mocker: Congrats, Anthony Albanese, for earning China’s red star stamp of approval
Hey everyone, guess who just picked up the school’s good citizen award? None other than our Anthony. Being announced on the eve of the G20 assembly in Rio de Janeiro it would bestow Albanese with a red star stamp.
Unlike the Morrison government, which “fell under Washington’s anti-China spell,” the Prime Minister had demonstrated “strategic autonomy”, gushed the state-owned China Daily last week. In light of the “hawkish look” of US president-elect Donald Trump’s likely cabinet, Australia could “offer some useful reference” for American allies and partners, it pronounced.
This is up there with the Nigerians giving out awards for good governance, the Saudis hosting a global Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras, and the Swedes being the ultimate authority on fine dining. It is not the headmaster handing out Albanese’s award, but the school bully.
Granted, Albanese is not the first Australian politician to be commended for his obeisance to the Middle Kingdom. Former Victorian premier Daniel Andrews proved a useful lackey by signing a Belt and Road agreement with China that Beijing used to undermine the Morrison government. The toadying increased tenfold when then-WA premier Mark ‘Mao’ McGowan, during his official trip to China last year, called for Albanese and all state and territory leaders to hold a national cabinet meeting in Beijing.
But obsequious premiers are of limited use. China’s aim has long been to divide the Five Eyes alliance, and to do that it must cultivate one of the respective heads of government.
Former New zealand prime minister is a case in point. Having imposed trade sanctions on Australia following the Morrison government’s call for an inquiry into the outbreak of COVID-19, Beijing enticed the Ardern government with favourable trade deals. In return New Zealand distanced itself from its fellow Five Eyes members, particularly regarding joint criticism of China’s punitive actions in Hong Kong and its treatment of Uyghurs. Naturally, Beijing made full use of this discord for propaganda purposes, praising the Ardern government.
Beijing’s strategy was to appeal to Ardern’s grasping provincialism. In the case of Albanese, it did so by exploiting his pusillanimity. Just ask Shingo Yamagami, who served as Japan’s ambassador to Australia between 2021-23.
“There’s no question that Anthony Albanese has been weak and meek vis a vis China,” he told the Sydney Morning Herald last weekend. “This is common knowledge in the international community”.
All too true. When a Chinese destroyer intentionally endangered Royal Australian Navy divers last year by blasting them with sonar, Albanese was about to attend the APEC summit in San Francisco along with Chinese President Xi Jinping. The timing was no coincidence.
Probing for weakness, the Chinese were testing Albanese’s mettle. It was not until the summit’s conclusion the Australian government released details about the incident. Pathetically, the Prime Minister later repeatedly refused to answer whether he had raised the incident with Xi. You might say Albanese left San Francisco with flour in his hair.
Gone is the tough-talking leader who called out others for not safeguarding Australia’s interests. As opposition leader, Albanese capitalised on the revelation in 2022 that then Solomon Islands prime minister Manasseh Sogavare had signed a security pact with Beijing. It was, said Albanese, a “massive foreign policy failure” by the Morrison government.
Then shadow foreign affairs minister Penny Wong also played the hawk. “On Scott Morrison’s watch, our region has become less secure, and the risks Australia faces have become much greater,” she said.
But if anything, Beijing has increased its influence in the region since Labor assumed government. As this masthead reported last week, the Australian High Commission in the Solomon Islands has refused to meet with Daniel Suidani, a former premier of Malaita province who vigorously opposes China’s encroachment. Forget asking our foreign affairs minister to explain. Wong refused to respond to questions, leading security analysts to conclude the Albanese government was placating China.
Last year East Timor blindsided Wong and Albanese by signing a security pact with China. Wong diverted questions to the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, which issued a feeble statement saying the agreement was “a matter for East Timor and China”. Is no-one in government aware East Timor is less than 700km from Darwin?
This occurred during Wong’s watch, but she has more important priorities. Last year, to the bemusement of British officials, Wong’s address at King’s College in London quickly turned into a Penny pity-party. Britain, she said, should share “uncomfortable” stories of colonisation with Pacific nations. You know, terribly harrowing stories like the fact Wong’s grandmother worked as a domestic servant for British colonists. Oh, the humanity!
Given Australia’s insipid stance, it is no wonder Beijing favours this government. It must also be delighted with the state of our defence force. Of Australia’s six Collins-class submarines, only one is operational.
In August, former chief of army Peter Leahy warned Australia had become a “strategic liability” for the US, saying the ADF is “stretched too thin” and has a “massive infrastructure backlog”. Like Wong, Defence Minister Richard Marles is focused on the important jobs, such as ensuring RAAF special-purpose aircraft flights ferry his golf clubs around the world.
Had you asked Albanese at the beginning of last year what was the biggest threat to Australia, he would have repeated what he said during the voice referendum campaign. How would Australia be “perceived internationally” if the proposal did not carry, he asked.
It says a lot about Albanese’s political antenna, suffice to say it is not located on top of his head. If he wants to fret about how we are perceived internationally, he should think about the ramifications of the Trump presidency.
Currently Australia spends only 1.99 per cent of GDP on defence. Trump has made clear to NATO members he holds in contempt governments that spend less than three per cent of that measure on defence yet expect America to defend them in the event of conflict. Wish Albanese good luck in explaining to Trump his priority, to use a hackneyed expression, is transforming Australia into a “renewable energy superpower”.
During the election campaign, Albanese promised to “protect” Australia if he became prime minister. If anything, we are looking increasingly like a protectorate. In CCP-speak, Albanese’s “strategic autonomy” is strategic sycophancy.
All that ar#e licking has earned albo a pat on the head.
Brilliant!
Yeah, no. We avoided that nightmare scenario twice, Perfesser von Wrongsolen.
In the 21st century, the accession of Australian Labor leaders reminds me of the Soviet Union’s revolving door of colourless politburo nonentities taking their turn as chief public teat-sucker: none has every had a real job and they’re not any good at anything, but socialism’s endless march must not be interrupted.
The ALP gains power federally only when the private enterprise party stuffs up or is infiltrated by traitors.
Indeed. Hard to think Albo is PM because he is not SloMo. Who was PM because he was not Spud.The political equivalent of the Chook “winning” the Olympics.
There seems to be a discussion in which there is an assumption made (real or for argument’s sake) that a large corporate investment entity, a “fund“, if purchasing rural production land, “farms“, would;
a) purchase only farms that join up into one block of land.
b) would personally run the day-to-day farming enterprise, as one economic unit, albeit with an employed manager.
Both of these beliefs are not true. More than 30 years of fund operations in Australia is to the contrary, never mind in other countries.
This belief is not even consistent with the land management model used in USA/Canada.
Listen dickhead. We’re discussing the UK and we’re well aware of large funds and corporates moving into the rural sector elsewhere. You fraud, fck off and go troll someone else.

the players were describing the play as it happened. When one of the players was underneath a scrum, the game was called. Heaps more players ran onto the field. The players already on field kept the ball in play.

It turned into a hilarious free for all.

The next time I walk past someone canvassing for the Red Cross, I’ll spit on the ground in front of them.
I have not donated to them in decades, they are not a charity but a power player.
You brought this up earlier today, not in the previous day’s commentary, which is what you were implying.
This is why I suggested you should leave DEI for a separate discussion as it has nothing to do with whether large funds are going to be buying, distressed scattered farmland as a result of the tax change.
Funds a singularly concerned with
When a fund makes or is about to make an investment,- at that point in time, the only concern is point 1.
And people tell me these things don’t exist.
Mate was telling me Russians have worked out how to spoof GPS guided munitions like Excalibur artillery rounds. Apparently a lot of Russian wire guided munitions reappearing on to the battlefield too.
No doubt we can do the same to their hardware hence the back to the future style wire guided stuff.
Remember seeing a Milan wire guided missile fired as a kid when the Army used to hold Ex El Alamein open days Puckapunyal. That was in the 1980’s so unlikely we’d have things like that in our arsenal anymore.
TOWs are good, but very short ranged.
My Lord Bebo.
All you need to know.
I will add that the thing is tiny. Might carry a payload of a kilogram.
The range, given the size of that cartridge, would be a few km at most.
And no one with a brain would design the drone to carry the cartridge, since that is extra weight. You would have the fibre cartridge at the groundstation.
And no one ever fired that critter out of a 4″ launch tube. Does it fold up like origami?
Furthermore if the Russians actually need this klutz of a weapon system it means their radio control is penetrated by the Ukies. Not a good look.
The Ukies seem to have no problem piloting radio controlled AP and AT drones to Russian attack formations.
You’re all over the place on this, Bruce of N. All you needed to do was google wire-guided drones before telling me they didn’t exist. I simply proved above , again, their existence. Nor did I saw they were shot from tubes. In that instance, I simply noted that just as wire guided ATGMs are in use, there now were wire-guided drones in use.
As to latter, both sides use jamming to interfere with the signal and thereby the operation of the drone. This concern with whether something is or is not a good look seems to be a concern, principally, of spectators.
Hey! Nice Faguar car you got there!

This is just silly. But, even so, I said yesterday: Unless you’re saying that no money can be made by buying off these farms all you’re saying is that purchasing them and operating them as is won’t generate worthwhile returns.
What do you think the implication of the above is, if not, that purchasing them and operating them in some other manner could generate better rates of return and thereby a better sale price if they are redeveloped and then sold off?
As I’ve already explained, it usefully demonstrates that funds like BlackRock are not singularly concerned with short-term rates of return on capital but have longer time-horizons.

Yes another very silly diversion tactic meant to cause confusion that’s really getting antique now.
As has been repeatedly explained to you, “large funds” like Blackrock are not going to be buying small lots scattered all over the place. There’s no upside in this and there certainly isn’t in the UK across all sectors with this government.
The sale process isn’t not going to be a one off under this tax regime because distress will be felt after the death of a farm owner. It’s going to be continual.
You know what, have it your way. British farm land is going to be the opportunity of a life time and funds will be falling over each other buying oddlots because of the tremendous upside potential they see with the current .5% return on capital deployed. You’re right.
I think you should perhaps withdraw gracefully from a discussion you have been losing all day. There is no need for BlackRock and other funds to make an immediate return on English farms. They have deep pockets, and the land value for a farm is chump change for them. They’re more likely to pursue green subsidies, cricket farms (also subsidised) and unnecessary new towns now being pushed by the Labour government. They don’t need a quick return
The Melanie Phillips article referenced by Winston at 1539 and cohenite at 1322 begs the question, which has produced the worse result, university “education” for police, or university “education” for j’ismists?

Interesting statistic. Australia only grows about twice as much wheat per annum as the UK. Comparing farm sizes should keep this in mind.
Maybe compare average wheat farm sizes in both countries?
Got a pal with 3 contiguous properties near Moree. He’s orginally from Holland and went back recently. Tells me the government trying to get farmers off the land is about using the land for housing, warehouses and industrial/commercial premises. Possibly same in UK.
Wheat yields in the U.K. are three or four times higher then in Australia.
That’s because they can plant winter wheat with much higher yield.
Yes, I think so too. Plus wind farms and, don’t laugh, solar farms. Lots of nice green subsidies. The UK government has just called for submissions on possible sites for new towns. A few strategic land purchases could corner some locations over 5-10 years. Of course, new towns of the 1940s and 1960s variety are unnecessary and were in their own day even, ugly and unsuccessful.
They will end up with all of Africa’s population and no farmland to feed them. Then they will colonise Africa again to grow the food.

The second stage development of the large-scale battery at Eraring Power Station has been approved, with a $450 million investment from Origin Energy.
The second stage of the Eraring battery will add a 240MW/1030MWh four-hour duration grid-forming battery to the 460MW/1073MWh two-hour duration first stage battery development already under construction at the site and anticipated to come online at the end of the 2025 calendar year. The combined energy storage of the stage one and stage two batteries will be more than 2GWh, enabling Origin to help keep the grid stable and support more variable renewable energy coming into the system.
Eraring battery powering ahead – Energy Magazine
The total cost of the stupid thing will be close to $2 billion and will supply 720MW for a couple of hours. So Fennells Bay and down town Toronto will be laughing for an hour or so when the blackout occurs and the rest of NSW are in the dark. For that money a 1000 MW coal/gas power plant could have been built which would keep Newcastle in power forever.
Seriously., the people responsible for this shit should be electrocuted.
How do you go bankrupt? Slowly then all at once.
How do you crash a grid? Slowly then all at once.
As the fat reserves are slowly used up in any system, it looks fine right up until the first emergency. Then it gives a creak, and a then a groan, and then goes tits up.
There will be little to no warning when this happens to the grid. Perhaps Queensland with its excess power production will be OK, until the Federal Government demands the Qld grid helps out the southern states. Qld will be the final reserves and it might just save the day, but it isn’t guaranteed.
An adventurous qld government should make sure the interconnectors had a completely destructive accident, and decide not to replace them. Exiting the NEM would result in a fall in energy prices and attract business to the state. Economic boom and jobs galore.
the government of course would not be as enthusiastic as it would lose all that GOC revenue selling power south to help its budget.
Two billion for an installation that delivers the same output as one coal fire power station unit for two hours.
Then has to be charged up again.

Here’s where you sign the surrender. “Reparations?” What are they?
I’m thinking that those millions of sub-continentals they keep importing will not be inclined to pay the reparations or give them any special privileges. I think in the next decade the aboriginal industry will be gone and the remote communities with them. “The First Nations” will be expected to get jobs just like everyone else.
The Fiji Indians would openly refer to the indigenous Fijians as jungali. No translation necessary.
I have only heard the term applied to uncouth, unsophisticated rural Indians.
Agree completely with the lack of sympathy with the Aboriginal Industry among the Subcontinental diaspora.
Look at it from the immigrant’ s perspective –
Visibly browner that almost all high profile “ aboriginals” – check
English as a second language – mostly check
Working long hours in a nursing home or driving a truck to get ahead – mostly check.
Kids leave home scrubbed and neat to study hard at school – only to be lectured all day about how noble aboriginals are – check.
No wonder the more recent immigrant group see no reason to regard the earlier immigrant group as “ special”.
They still haven’t read the memo. We’re over their continual whining. Indigenous children coming under State care at record rates and they make these stupid demands that have absolutely no impact on the plight of indigenous people. The activists are another group of elites who don’t give a damn about the people they purportedly represent.
Damn them, damn them to hell.
Some Aborigines and their activist mates win the prize for historical revisionism and fairy tales.
Nor will our kids hear anything about representative government, freedom of speech, the presumption of innocence, the right to a fair trial or any of those other racist, colonialist bourgeois illusions. Not that they do now anyway.
And we’d hear nothing of pristine tribal near-starvation at times, and some dodgy ways of finding protein in hard seasons. Let alone the gerontological rapine authorised towards young females.

Indigenous kids removed from family at growing ratesKeira JenkinsAAP
Thu, 21 November 2024 10:37AM
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children are being removed from their parents at the highest rates ever recorded.
The Family Matters report, released on Thursday, reveals Indigenous children are still “grossly over-represented” at every stage of the child protection system.
There are 22,908 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children in the out-of-home care system and they are 10.8 times more likely than non-Indigenous kids to be removed from their parents, the report said.
Indigenous children are also 5.6 times more likely than non-Indigenous children to be subject to reports to child protection authorities.
“This over-representation grows as family interventions become more intrusive at each stage of the system,” according to report co-author Catherine Liddle, who is also chief executive of the peak body for Indigenous children, SNAICC.
This points to “a systemic failure to respond and support children and families rather than issues driven at a community level”, she said
The rate of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children in out-of-home care has risen from 54.2 per 1000 in 2019, to 57.2 per 1000 in 2023.
A treaty will make all the difference, though, won’t it?
Perhaps there is a cultural problem?
I wonder exactly how many are of Torres Strait Islanders origin? Or is that one of those things that must not be said?
Given the great reluctance of authorities to intervene lest there be another wave of “ Stolen Generations” lies, it can be assumed that aboriginal kids need to be rescued, not 10.8 times more than other kids, but 20 or 30 times more.

Domestic violence continues to ravage Indigenous womenKeira JenkinsAAP
Wed, 20 November 2024 1:54PM
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women’s lives are not being valued the same as their non-Indigenous counterparts, advocates claim as the toll of domestic violence continues to mount.
Indigenous women are 31 times more likely to be hospitalised as a result of violence, says the Our Watch campaign against domestic violence.
The killings of 12 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women since June represent one-third of domestic violence deaths in that period, it said.
The country is in crisis with Indigenous women hugely over-represented in the toll, says Regan Mitchell, who leads the group’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander strategy against domestic violence.
“For our women – Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women – the key driver for men’s violence is the ongoing colonial impacts, which are still very much in play today,” she told AAP.
“The racist structures and systems and attitudes live in every pocket of society, the discrimination our women face, the oppression, and you can see what’s happening now, in 2024, our women’s lives are not being valued in the same way as white women.”
A 61-year-old woman died in hospital on Thursday, following an alleged domestic violence assault in Katherine, bringing the number of women killed in gendered violence incidents in the Northern Territory to eight since June.
If white men were the perpetrators of these murders we would have mass demonstrations through the streets of the CBD.
One of the Dodson brothers blames colonialism for the high rate of domestic violence against Aboriginal women.
Dreamtime stuff. No wonder nothing changes.
Anthropologists used to be able to say this domestic violence was cultural. Nothing to do with colonialism.
And yet when Jacinta Price (and others) call for a Royal Commission into it she cops terrible racist abuse and even death threats from Aboriginals and presumably leftist activists.
