Monty and his ilk should not be allowed to own property, have the right to the presumption of innocence or any kind of free speech rights. And if they ever use any kind of “fossil fuel” [Thomas Gold was correct] they are thrown in a non-heated prison with cold food only.
Jaguar (and Range Rover) is owned by Tata Motors. Can’t believe they signed off on the new marketing.
IMO Jaguar lost its credibility when Ford bought them. Selling Mondeos badged as jags.

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.
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.
His smugnorance is simply off the scale and “brick through the Telescreen” worthy.
However, in recognition of his stellar achievements he will enjoy a prominent role in HOP Time™.
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…..

I can confirm that a car that was vandalised overnight in Woollahra with the words ‘F*ck Israel’ happened directly outside Wolper Jewish hospital.

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.
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.

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.

Not because you need to—your office has its own private bathroom—but because you enjoy forcing women to submit to your demands.

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.

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. 🙂

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.

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.

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.
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.

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.

Out of the following:
Which of the above do you find the most abhorrent?
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?

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.

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.

Jeez Louise, Vicki. Some of these lots are bigger than countries. It’s like countries within a country. 🙂
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.
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.

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.
Let the denunciations begin.

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.
Yeah, no. We avoided that nightmare scenario twice, Perfesser von Wrongsolen.
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.

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.
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.
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?

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.

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.

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?

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.
The NSW Police are declaring the Eastern Suburbs carbecue and anti-Jewish graffiti as an isolated incident. How can that be when it’s over several suburbs? Once again, a snow job when most people know what’s going on. I detest this contempt for our intelligence.
