Same here, although I can’t the point of Dover arguing, whatever he says is going to be gainsaid.
As to calli having an admirer in reverse? Who is it and why? Did she kill a china man?
I’ve had a very long day at the hospital. My mother is being moved to palliative care. When I arrived at the hospital today I went to kiss my mother and she whispered to me she was dying. You can imagine how that made me feel. Whilst I am surrounded by a lot of love, from family and friends, it’s a distressing time and nothing diminishes the pain and nothing stops the tears. Over dinner at my nephew’s tonight I welled up with tears. Still, I am fortunate, I have wonderful family and marvellous friends, and I have to draw on the love and support of family and friends.
Sitting in my mother’s room, whilst she was sleeping, I noticed she had today’s SMH in the room. I thought that was odd because I’d organised for her to get the Australian newspaper every day, not the SMH. But Mum is no longer reading newspapers or even watching television. I don’t like the SMH and my mother doesn’t like it either. Anyway I thought, oh well, I’ll do the word puzzles. I opened the newspaper and by chance came to the letters page and I read the ‘letters’ and I was shocked at the vicious letters the paper published about Jones, particularly this this…..
‘I note the numbers at Tony Abbot’s Christmas drinks continue to decline. Firstly, Big George Pell and now Jones.. Who’s next?
I won’t write here the name of the author of the above bilge. But I was stunned at the sheer viciousness of the letter and the fact that the SMH published it along with other far more prejudicial letters about Jones. The left aren’t interested in ‘justice’, no this is cultural, it’s a Pell redux, it’s Pell Take Two.

Former Mosman deputy mayor Andrew Brown arrested for wearing anti-Israel shirt in Bondi
A man arrested at Bondi Beach for wearing an allegedly “offensive” anti-Israel shirt in residential areas with high Jewish populations can be revealed as former Mosman Council deputy mayor Andrew Brown.
Brown, who is the son of former Hawke Labor minister John Brown, has been unapologetic about his views on Israel after his arrest on November 3 and has since appeared in a TikTok video explaining that he wore the top emblazoned with the words “f**k Israel’ and ‘f**k Zionism” to “give Palestinians a voice, because they don’t have one” and that supporters have since asked to have their picture taken with him.
Brown, a former deputy mayor between 2004 and 2008, was confronted and arrested by police at the tourist beach spot for wearing the provocative top at around 12.50pm on Sunday November 3.
He has been charged with stalk/intimidate intend fear physical etc harm and two counts of behave in offensive manner in/near public place/school.
No pleas have been entered.
Mr Brown was arrested for wearing the allegedly offensive shirt.
He was initially refused bail but subsequently granted conditional bail as long as he does not enter the Eastern Suburbs area, from Paddington in the west to Bondi in the east from Bronte in the south to Watsons Bay in the north, except to visit a solicitor or attend court.
He must remain on good behaviour and not make contact with any prosecution witness.
Crowds did a double take and gathered while police questioned him on the beach promenade earlier this month.
Brown has also been seen parading in the T-shirt in Sydney’s Double Bay and Bondi accompanied by his wife, which police will allege was to offend and intimidate in the predominantly Jewish residential areas. His wife is not accused of any wrongdoing.
In a subsequent podcast entitled the dietdoctor, Brown explained his views saying, “Anti Zionism isn’t antisemitism….
“Zionism is the theft of an indigenous peoples land,” he said.
“It is the dispossession of people. The Nakba 1948. Then continued dispossession and brutalisation of people.
“You know when I wore that T-shirt a couple of times, the amount of people who came up to me and want their photograph taken with me…saying ‘good on you brother’…whatever, 10 to one.
“To anyone who may have been upset, why should I pay any attention to them anyway?
“I suffered the ignominy on the weekend, of being approached by two police officers, being handcuffed, being dragged up the beach, being dragged through Bondi.
“It was a message behind that, which is ‘do what you told don’t come down here agitating.,” he said.
“Being thrown in the back of a paddy wagon, being left in a paddy wagon for half an hour in a dark car park, and then having six hours and a police cell for wearing a t shirt, being charged, fingerprinted forcefully, DNA tested for wearing a t shirt in Australia in the 21st century, because some people took offence to it.
“I think the Palestinian people are most courageous people on the planet, and if I can give voice to them, because they’re voiceless, you know…”
The Executive Council of Australian Jewry co-chief executive Alex Ryvchin said Brown should be avoided.
“The guy has been seen swanning around Double Bay and Bondi Beach, lingering for long periods of time,” he said.
“It is peculiar for a former public official with no apparent link to Jews, their state and their national movement.
“The profanity is plainly offensive and anyone who thinks fit to behave so erratically should be avoided. I urge members of the community to give this hero a wide berth.“
Brown is due appear before Waverley Local Court on January 22, 2025.
Brown has been contacted for comment.

The Trump Counterrevolution Is a Return to Sanity
I might be going senile.
A memory just came flooding back, and I have to write it down.
I don’t know what made my old man allow a 15 year old Arky drive the family falcon station wagon to the St Andrew’s – St Margaret’s College annual dance.
But after picking up my mate Stu, this actually occurred.
Very exciting it was. Stu had a flask of bourbon, and just outside St Margaret’s, was the corner my brothers referred to as “squeally corner”.
The night ended there and then, as the Falcon swung like a pendulum first one way then the tother into a brick wall.
Stu’s dad was a panel beater. Who arranged to have the falc towed to his shop.
I spent the night at Stu’s house.
I remember the next morning the worst thing was that Dad didn’t say a word.
That was worse than worst bollocking imaginable.
Four decades later Stu still not so gently mocks me about stuff, but not that, we have both done worse.
I remember the next morning the worst thing was that Dad didn’t say a word.

Thank you Rosie and thank you to all the others who have offered support. And yes, Mum is in a wonderful Jewish palliative care facility where they value life above death yet where terminal conditions are treated with love, care and dignity and where Mum will have both comfort and quality of life for however long she is here.
Whilst it’s the best place for her, it’s still hard to come to terms with, I always have a lump in my throat and my eyes well up with tears at any given time.
Just further to this Jewish facility, there are now security guards walking the carpark. I know this has been said many times but the Australia of 2024 is not the country I grew up in.

Regardless of what you think of Justice Lee’s Bruce Lehrmann judgment, last night in Sydney Lee gave this stinging speech…………
Anti-Semitism ‘an attack on my wife and children’: judge Michael LeeELLIE DUDLEY
In an extraordinary and deeply personal speech, Federal Court judge Michael Lee says the “growth and mainstreaming” of anti-Semitic behaviour stemming from the October 7, 2023 massacres must be tackled, and declared that any attack on the Jewish community is an “attack upon my wife and my children”.
In Justice Lee’s powerful address, delivered the night after a car was torched and buildings were vandalised with horrendous anti-Semitic slurs in Sydney’s eastern suburbs, Justice Lee said some Australians do not understand the “complex narrative” of the Middle East conflict and instead prefer “historically flawed” reports from parts of the media.
Anthony Albanese condemned the attacks in Woollahra, but Jewish leaders and former prime minister John Howard said Labor’s “inaction’ on anti-Semitism was partly to blame for the major escalation in violence.
In his speech, Justice Lee praised Western Sydney University for showing strong leadership when campuses were overrun with pro-Palestine encampments this year, but said Australian institutions were producing future leaders who have a “sense of self-righteousness” exacerbated by a “lack of a traditional Western historical education”.
Reflecting on behalf of he and wife Penny – the daughter of former NSW ombudsman and prominent Jewish lawyer David Landa – Justice Lee said he was struck by a “discomforting” reality after Hamas invaded southern Israel.
“The revelation for both of us, since October 7, is that in our different ways, and from our different perspectives, the stark and discomforting realisation that despite living our whole lives in this country, and thinking we knew it so well, we do not now recognise an aspect of it,” he said, speaking to the Jewish House Gala Dinner.
“Connected to this was the realisation that some people we thought we knew well did not understand, or did not want to understand, a more complex narrative than that presented by simplistic and historically flawed declamations on social and some other media; nor were they empathetic to the trauma the events of last year and its consequences have occasioned.
“Whether this appreciation is a result, Saul-like, of scales falling from our eyes or a profound shift in the culture might be thought, at least on one level, to be of little moment. But upon reflection it does matter because the growth and mainstreaming of anti-Semitism we have all seen emerge over the last 13 months must be tackled, but understanding how it is to be tackled requires some understanding of how we got to where we are.”
Justice Lee, a judge of the Federal Court since 2017, rose to prominence during the high profile defamation case between Bruce Lehrmann and Network 10, and has become well known for his quick wit and sharp turn of phrase. Speaking on Thursday night in a personal capacity, he told the crowd he was introduced to “the richness of the Jewish lived experience through my wife’s family”. “Twelve years ago, I gave a speech in the function room behind Temple Emmanuel. I remarked that when I was a boy learning public speaking at a Marist Brothers school, I was confident that there were a number of opening words of a speech that I would never utter,” he said.
“One form of opening words was: ‘I proudly accept your nomination for President of the United States’; another, equally unlikely, were the words I opened with on that occasion, being: ‘Welcome to my son’s bar mitzvah’.”
He said there had been a “soft revolution” in values over the past 50 years within “numerous institutions, including universities, unions, the arts, and schools”.
“In universities, it can be seen in courses focused on what is described as ‘critical legal studies’ but is most evident in the social science, history and education faculties,” he said, adding that it is “unsurprising” students “now seem to use school and university to proclaim, rather than to learn”.
His comments come after universities, including Deakin University, Melbourne University and the Australian National University, were overrun with pro-Palestine protests earlier this year, with many playing host to weeks-long encampments.
In September, University of Sydney vice-chancellor Mark Scott apologised for the “unacceptable” anti-Semitism experienced by Jewish staff, students and alumni during an eight-week campus protest.
Justice Lee said the Jewish community and “non-Jews of goodwill” must attempt to effectively communicate with a generation of people exposed to institutions that are “producing an apparently significant number of future leaders whose lack of a traditional Western historical education is matched by their sense of self-righteousness and their willingness to spout slogans”.
“This is a worrying combination, further exacerbated by access to a balkanised ‘legacy’ media and social media, resulting in preconceived notions being re-enforced by the like-minded,” he said, adding “good leadership” at universities can have an impact when it comes to “institutional decay and the diminished intellectual rigour of many courses”.
“I am on the board of an institute within the Western Sydney University,” he said. “In contrast to other universities, and despite having the largest Muslim population of any university in Australia, I was pleased to see it had had no encampments, and the leadership of the university spoke out promptly and firmly against anti-Semitic speech.”
Justice Lee concluded his address by echoing the words of his wife’s late grandfather, former NSW housing minister Abe Landa, when speaking to the NSW Legislative Assembly in 1946. “‘I shall treat any attack on the Jews as an attack upon my wife and my children’,” he said. “Although, unlike Abe, I cannot say I spring from your faith, over the sweep of almost 80 years, I can say I feel exactly the same way.”
Kol hakavod Justice Lee.
Ah, the old “sexual misbehaviour”, an evergreen smear. I remember they tried to stop the appointment of Clarence Thomas to the Supreme Court. It failed, and none other than Laura Ingraham became his clerk for a while before going into show biz. They tried it against Kavanagh, and it failed. They tried it against Trump. Now they’ve tried it against Gaetz and achieved a success. From what I’ve read it’s only seriously alleged that Gaetz paid for sex from ladies who did it for money. Even so, there has been no prosecution from a trigger-happy DOJ. Sky News turns to Michael Ware for comment!
P.S. They are trying it on Pete Hegseth as well.

A good read from a former Treasury Official. One of the few ‘sound’ ones that I have known.
David Pearl
The Future Fund is now captive to Jim’s pet projects
As if any further confirmation was required, Jim Chalmers has now proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that he’s a serious liability for the Albanese government.
Not content with presiding over an economy that has virtually ground to a halt, with living standards falling, productivity flatlining and an inflation rate among the highest in the developed world, the Treasurer is now deepening his assault on the integrity of our key economic institutions.
He has weakened the Reserve Bank’s traditional inflation-fighting focus and directed the Productivity Commission to focus more on green ideology. And he has now turned his attention to the $230bn Future Fund, which was set up by former treasurer Peter Costello to meet the federal government’s mammoth, unfunded public sector superannuation liabilities.
As we know, Chalmers and Finance Minister Katy Gallagher have announced that the Future Fund’s mandate will be changed to require it to consider “national priorities” when making its investment decisions. If you think that sounds ominous, you are right.
This is a marked change to the Fund’s initial riding instructions, which focused on obtaining the best available commercial return and did not privilege particular sectors. Chalmers’ pet priorities are to increase the supply of residential housing, support the net-zero energy transition and fund local infrastructure projects to improve economic resilience and security. He insists this will not compromise the Future Fund’s focus on maximising commercial returns.
https://content.api.news/v3/images/bin/78e45c8dcedbf129982bbf393ab78645
Katy Gallagher
Yet we have just witnessed the re-election of Donald Trump, who campaigned strongly against net-zero climate austerity and will pull that country – the world’s largest economy, let’s remember – out of the Paris Agreement. It’s dead.
Let’s not also forget the Albanese government has bet the house on wind and solar to get us to net zero: energy sources that apart from being inherently unreliable and expensive, require massive subsidies from the taxpayer to be commercially viable.
Residential housing, meanwhile, is a sector tied in state and local government red tape, with the threat of investment-killing capital gains and negative gearing tax hikes looming over it – from none other than Chalmers himself.
And in the area of infrastructure, the reference to “economic reliance and security” is well-known code for projects that do not stack up on commercial grounds.
As Judith Sloan pointed out on Thursday, if investments in these sectors were financially attractive propositions, the Fund would already be putting money into them.
If a David Murray or a Peter Costello-like figure were chairing the Fund, perhaps its commercial integrity could, despite Chalmers’ political directives, be salvaged. But Greg Combet, a career unionist, ultimate Labor insider and climate utopian, is at the helm.
And now that it’s integrity has been breached, we can look forward to further Labor hobbyhorses to be added to the Fund’s investment wish list.
Why not the care economy or local manufacturing? Why not union-favoured construction projects? Every industry association in the country will be knocking on Chalmers’ door to get their sector a mention. His naivety is staggering.
The Fund decision, while deeply flawed, is not at all surprising for this Treasurer to make.
It reflects his basic misunderstanding of the nature of capitalism. When he invokes this term, he has in mind politicians directing private capital into favoured projects, not markets allocating resources to their highest-value uses, as directed by millions of consumers’ price signals.
Adam Smith first articulated the miracle and genius of the latter, which protected individual freedoms while achieving both social cohesion and growing prosperity – and all without a central directing political Leviathan.
A succession of leaders of failed, interventionist states has demonstrated the economic folly of the former. Crony capitalism is not progressive or enlightened or sophisticated, as Chalmers believes, but the oldest governance cancer there is.
At a deeper level, Chalmers’ Future Fund gambit is evidence of his inability to face the reality of trade-offs, which – when you think about it – is a basic requirement for competent economic leaders.
If you insist on equality of outcomes, you cannot have equality of opportunity. If you insist on running an economy with an overheated labour market, such as ours, you cannot have stable prices. And if you mandate expensive wind and solar power, you cannot lower power prices.
If the Future Fund fails, it is not only taxpayers that will suffer, but every person in Australia who depends on the government safety net – whether the Age Pension, the NDIS, aged-care support, unemployment benefits or the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme.
The Future Fund is an insurance policy for these millions of Australians. A financial resource that, if managed wisely and prudently, could fund the coming tsunami of public sector superannuation liabilities with no need to made calls on our annual budget – with no need to cut into their entitlements.
Without the Fund or something like it in place, these liabilities will have to be funded by higher taxes, lower welfare payments or higher debt, pushing the cost on to future generations.
This is the position that Greece found itself in after the global financial crisis. We are not close to that country’s predicament, but Chalmers’ weakening of the Future Fund is a small step in that direction.
When Labor has taken the economic high ground and looked out for working Australians, it has always enjoyed political success. When it has surrendered to ideology and forgotten its traditional base, it has suffered.
A good Labor treasurer should be the economic conscience of the government they serve. A Chris Minns or Peter Malinauskas, if in Canberra, might fit the bill.
Jim Chalmers, for all his boasting and ambition, is not that man.
David Pearl is a former Treasury assistant secretary.

I think the other aspect is Thune’s promise to allow recess appointments (see Branco’s toon this morning). It’s plausible that Thune could’ve threatened Trump et al that he will renege if Gaetz remains the AG nominee. Trump being a dealmaker would accept such a deal in order to get the rest of his team through. Then of course he’ll deservedly reward Gaetz later.
I have zero evidence for this, but Hinderaker’s theory would fit with it.

We all know social media can be dangerous for kids. It’s a world filled with predators, bullies, and content that can mess with their minds and emotions. Parents are right to demand action. You and I both know something needs to change.
But the Australian Government’s “solution” to this problem isn’t the way. That “solution”—the Online Safety Amendment (Social Media Minimum Age) Bill 2024—is a rushed, reckless piece of legislation that puts your privacy—and the privacy of every Australian—at serious risk. This isn’t just about kids anymore. It’s about you, me, and the government sticking its nose into every part of our online lives.
Find out how you can fight back at the end of this article!
The Social Media Minimum Age Bill 2024 requires platforms to collect private data, like IDs or even biometric scans, creating massive risks of breaches and misuse.An unelected bureaucrat—the eSafety Commissioner—is given sweeping powers to interpret and enforce vague rules with no proper oversight.The Bill’s vague definition of “reasonable steps” leaves platforms free to adopt invasive measures, like requiring ID uploads or facial recognition, with no clear limits on how far they can go.This legislation undermines online anonymity, linking real-world identities to social media accounts and threatening free expression and privacy.The government is rushing this Bill with just a 5-day inquiry and 24 hours for public submissions, leaving no time for proper scrutiny or debate.Go to the bottom of this article to find out how you can take urgent action.Have you heard about how fast they’re moving on this? The government is ramming the Bill through Parliament. They’ve given Australians less than 24 hours to make public submissions to an also rushed Senate inquiry—barely enough time to read the thing, let alone understand it. Why the rush? What are they trying to hide?
What does the Bill mean for you?
Let me tell you what this Bill does. It forces social media platforms to prove that users are 16 or older by implementing “age assurance” systems. That might sound harmless, but have you thought about what “age assurance” actually means? It means collecting your private information—your ID, maybe even your face through biometric scanning—and storing it online.
The Bill requires platforms to take “reasonable steps” to enforce the age limit. But what’s reasonable? That’s entirely up to one unelected bureaucrat: the eSafety Commissioner. This is the same person who once suggested that freedom of speech needs to be “recalibrated” for the sake of safety. That should send a shiver down your spine.
The Bill itself makes it clear: the eSafety Commissioner gets to decide what’s reasonable. They get to write the rules without oversight. Section 27(1)(qa) of the Bill gives them the power to set guidelines, and the Bill’s accompanying explanatory memorandum even says these guidelines “are not legislative instruments,” meaning Parliament doesn’t get a say. How is this democratic? How is this safe?
The major concern I have about the Bill is that your privacy will be undermined.
Now, you might be thinking: “But surely there are privacy protections, right?” Wrong. The Bill claims platforms can only use your personal information for age verification, but can you really trust that? Do you trust these platforms, or the corporate bureaucrats behind them, to destroy your data when they say they will?
And what happens if there’s a data breach? Think about it: your child’s ID, your face, or your private details in the hands of hackers or even foreign governments. Section 63F of the Bill outlines the so-called privacy safeguards, but we all know how easily these promises can be broken.
This Bill doesn’t just target kids. It affects you. Every Australian will feel this if these systems are rolled out. It’s not just about whether your kid can make a TikTok account—it’s about whether you’re comfortable handing over your identity to Big Tech and Big Government.
Perhaps the ABC has more than one FranK elly.

It is a minor escalation from nuclear sabre rattling to actually throwing a sabre, albeit one without actual nukes. It is intended as a threat that Russia is able to deliver nukes fairly easily.

Would love to hear from a constitutional expert about this- how would it even be legally possible for Australia to have a treaty with its own citizens? It seems an obvious absurdity.
If every Aboriginal person born in this country is an Australian citizen by birth, then how does any government, state or federal, have a treaty with only some of its citizens and not others? And how does one determine which side of the treaty they fall on in the case of mixed racial heritage?
I suspect any treaties entered into would be ultimately null and void.
These f*ckwits are utterly insane – from the piece above comes these li’l gems, perfectly crafted for those existing in this age of unprecedented global collectivist stupidity:
But wait, that’s not all, folks!
For how much longer can this sort of insanity exist in plain sight before the global peasantry rises up and gifts these evil barking mad hypocritical lunatics a starring role in the long overdue and very righteous implementation of HOP Time™?

Not a quick or easy job.
Yet we the public (or, more accurately, appropriately qualified lawtradepersons) get one (1) day to make submissions [Bill introduced to Parliament 21/11/24, closing date for submissions 22/11/24, with the Inquiry due to start on 26/11/24 – ie next Tuesday].

This age verification for social media, doesn’t affect me I’m not on anything.
However a mates mrs is Thai, currently very indignant about giving details to Facebook if she has to but like a lot of Thais she runs under a false name, false age, false city of residence & has no profile apart from name so would run afoul anyway. She has it for messenger so they can face time overseas.
If she were to move her profile residence from here to Thailand, would that be a work around? Or would there be some geolocation type firewall?
I’m curious as well, as I suspect a lot will just do that and I’d imagine the Government would have already thought of that course of action, mitigating it somehow.

Can you give us a summary of what he had to say.
ICBMs weren’t used. They were MRBMs. ICBMs would be noticed by American early warning systems and they’d have been at DEFCON 1 in an instant. ICBMs would be a tier 1 escalation because you don’t know their warhead is conventional or nuclear until they hit the target. As P mentioned above, they used a new MRBM, that is hypersonic with multiple warheads, that is difficult to detect and impossible to stop with AD. It’s an escalation because they are telegraphing they have those capabilities and are prepared to use it.
Hmm. Are non-citizens eligible for unemployment benefits and other Commonwealth support?

Worse: if they can sign treaties with Australian governments, haven’t you just laid a basis for them to negotiate treaties with overseas governments?
What’s to stop them signing a treaty giving away parts of Australia or some of their rights to the CCP?

Jussie Smollett has conviction over ‘hoax hate attack’ overturned
An actor accused of hiring two men to stage a racially motivated attack on him has had his conviction for lying about the incident overturned.
The Illinois Supreme Court ruled on Thursday that Jussie Smollett, who starred in the drama series Empire, was treated unfairly because prosecutors broke an agreement not to charge him.
“Today we resolve a question about the state’s responsibility to honour the agreements it makes with defendants,” wrote Justice Elizabeth Rochford.
“We address whether a dismissal of a case … allows the state to bring a second prosecution when the dismissal was entered as part of an agreement with the defendant and the defendant has performed his part of the bargain. We hold that a second prosecution under these circumstances is a due process violation, and we therefore reverse defendant’s conviction.”
Smollett, who is gay, claimed in 2019 that he was attacked in Chicago by two men who shouted racist and homophobic abuse at him, and left him with a noose around his neck. The men, Smollett said, shouted pro-Trump slogans and told him he was in “Maga country”.
Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, the model Naomi Campbell and the actor Kerry Washington were among those who leapt to Smollett’s defence and condemned the “attack”.
Yet a court was told that he had paid two brothers, whom he met on the set of the TV show, a total of dollars 3,500 to carry out the attack.
Prosecutors alleged that he staged the attack because he was unhappy with the studio’s response to hate mail he received.
Smollett, 42, insists he is innocent and did not stage the hoax, despite the brothers giving detailed interviews describing the arrangement.
Smollett was sentenced to 150 days in jail, 30 months of probation, and ordered to pay more than dollars 130,000 in restitution. He served six days of that sentence in 2021, but was released pending appeal.
In 2019, Kim Foxx, the state lawyer for Cook County, agreed to drop the charges if Smollett paid dollars 10,000 and did community service. But that agreement was rescinded and a special prosecutor later charged him again, leading to his trial and conviction.
The latest ruling cited the overturning of Bill Cosby’s conviction on sexual assault charges after the Pennsylvania Supreme Court concluded that his prosecution had broken a previous agreement not to charge him.
“It cannot be gainsaid that society holds a strong interest in the prosecution of crimes,” the Illinois justices wrote.
“It is also true that no such interest, however important, ever can eclipse society’s interest in ensuring that the constitutional rights of the people are vindicated. Society’s interest in prosecution does not displace the remedy due to constitutionally aggrieved persons.”

Former prime minister John Howard has repeatedly pointed out that treaties recognised by international law can only take place between sovereign nations. That means very clearly that the Australian government cannot enter into a treaty recognised by international law with a designated group of its own citizens. Does Bill Shorten fail to understand this?
Shorten will be a good fit at the ‘university” of canbra. In what way do taxpayers benefit from the ‘university” of canbra?

On UK farms.
Missed the discussion yesterday. Some perhaps useful insights into Starmer’s raid on the UK farming industry:
Nearly half of the UK’s ~200,000 registered farms are sub 20 hectares (~50 acres). The vast majority of these will be deeply uneconomic from a business perspective – mainly lifestyle, high-risk specialists, horse growing, and desperate hard-scrabble subsistence farming.
The other 100,000 farms cover around 15 million hectares – so an average of 150 hectares (~370 acres). These make a modest financial return – although farm returns have been thrashed in 2023/24.
Despite the above, quality UK farmland is (or perhaps more accurately, has been) an attractive investment asset class, offering portfolio investors capital growth and a non-depleting asset – albeit with a low yield.
As at UK Summer 2024, there is significant investment interest (particularly in England) and historically high supply of agricultural land coming onto the market has not crushed land prices.
This is the market segment that Starmer/Reeves are targeting.
The productive, value-adding bit.
As Labour does.
So, guilty as charged.
But a victory anyway for the foresighted Mz Foxx:

“We should all fear [her] because she’s competent. We may not agree with her ideologically, but she actually knows how to do this job.”
“Pam Bondi knows what she’s doing. She knows what she’s doing about immigration.”
“She is a dangerous and effective pick, and that’s frankly worse than what we would have got with Matt Gaetz.”

Exactly so. I use a VPN but Amazon has no problem recognising me when I visit the site, no login needed.
Quite.
That’s because they use the network card’s MAC (medium access control address) to identify you.
This is almost unique to each card and can be found, through the Window$ command prompt by typing “ipconfig /all” and looking at the “Physical Address” result of the network card you’re using, usually either Ethernet adapter or Wireless LAN
The MAC address can be changed through the Window$ registry, but it will need to be changed regularly to ATTEMPT to maintain anonimity.

Gosh no, JC! I didn’t take notes & he delivered one of the densely factual talks I have heard at the Institute. His talk ranged across the implication of Iran in the Oct 6 attacks to a very broad history of Iran’s ideological expansion in the ME. The guy is a living encyclopaedia on Iran.
However, you can (I think) hear the speech on the Sydney Institute website. I don’t think you have to be a member to do that.
I just asked a weak question on whether Islamic State, and also the assassination of Suleimani, slowed them down.

Further for those interested in the work of Matthew Levitt:
Matthew Levitt is the Fromer-Wexler Senior Fellow at The Washington Institute and director of its Jeanette and Eli Reinhard Program on Counterterrorism and Intelligence. From 2005 to early 2007, he served as deputy assistant secretary for intelligence and analysis at the U.S. Department of the Treasury. In that capacity, he served both as a senior official within the department’s terrorism and financial intelligence branch and as deputy chief of the Office of Intelligence and Analysis, one of sixteen U.S. intelligence agencies coordinated under the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.
Dr. Levitt has served as an expert witness in several criminal and civil cases, lectured on international terrorism on behalf of the Departments of State, Justice, Defense, and Homeland Security, consulted for various U.S. government agencies and private industry, and testified before the Senate and House on matters relating to international terrorism. He is the author of several books and monographs and is the host of the podcast series, Breaking Hezbollah’s Golden Rule. He created and maintains interactive maps of Hezbollah’s international activities and of Iran’s external operations.

Cummins had a book out recently, I will try and find an excerpt but it was sop, and Khawaja is the laziest cricketer since Inzamam Ul Haq. Incidentally both Pakistani.
Quite.
The Regime is very happy today. Cock-a-hoop, in fact.
Seems not so long ago the Dims were fulminating against the idea of a President (well, one President really – Trump) having immunity for actions undertaken while in office.

I am thinking Poena Cullei. The only issue are what animals to put into the sack with him before tossing it in a river.
A snake is a must have, I think. Some rats. A vulture.
And a member of Ms-13. I did say animals.
So, TheirABC have a “make a donation” page on their homepage now for those suffering cost of living:
ABC WA Gives – ABC Gives
Perhaps they could give some of their annual $1,400,000,000?

Sydney student banned from year 12 formal for wearing Palestinian scarfBy Kate AubussonNovember 22, 2024 — 4.12pm

A Sydney teenager has filed a complaint with the Australian Human Rights Commission after he was banned from attending his coming school formal because he wore a scarf with the keffiyeh pattern to his graduation ceremony.
In an incident that comes amid heightened community tension over the war in Gaza, the year 12 student said he was humiliated and distraught after several staff members at Condell Park High School demanded that he remove the traditional black-and-white patterned scarf that symbolises his Palestinian heritage at the ceremony held in the school hall.
This was despite the south-western Sydney school’s longstanding custom of encouraging students to wear garments and accessories of cultural significance. Photographs from the September event show other students wearing other cultural artefacts, including feathered cloaks and garlands, over their graduation gowns.
The war in Gaza has triggered deep ruptures within local institutions, including schools, universities, the Sydney Theatre Company and Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, sustained protests in major cities and disturbing acts of vandalism.
It also follows concerns that public schools could expose themselves to legal risk if they instituted bans on Palestinian students or staff from wearing keffiyehs after the Education Department advised them to maintain neutrality on Israel and Gaza.
The teenager, who requested not to be identified, said staff members accused him of making a political statement and prevented him from posing with friends and a senior staff member for a group photograph while he wore his scarf.
