“Anti-Semitism is something that has been around for a long period of time.”

This is, in my view, a Government-defining moment.

Quite so.
Those Liberal adverts should write themselves … if they have the balls.
And when they squeal “Islamaphobia” dismiss it with a wave of the hand and say, “Yeah, yeah, whatever. How does it go again? That’s right. Slamaphobia has been around for a long period of time. Or has it?”

Albanese is correct of course, but in this context is calculated to suggest that the fire bombing of a occupied building is nothing out of the usual.

Just been to Xmas party in our valley (Hawaiian theme!) with lots of really great home cooked food – held at our refurbished hall. Our table didn’t score in any of the raffle tickets – but that’s OK. All is good is this part of the world. Lots of spring rain. No grizzling. Just good, simple fun. For a moment, the worries of the world are far away..lol.

I hate all this anti-semetic nonsense. The jews have never mentioned the asymetric persecution of Christians when child marriage is endemic in islam. The jews have never sought justice for Coptic Christians forced out of their homes in the Holy Land. The jews scream when they’re nicked by a modicum of defiance.

Get f_ckecd you retard.

We are a Christian nation. The jews, arabs, sheiks, muslims, buddists, zoastrians, wefare queens,hindus, quantifarians can get f_cked.

Apparently Islamic terrorism is caused by da joos.

So whether they do it, or they don’t do it, it’s their fault. Despite Islamic clerics calling for death to infidels. The volume of anti-Semitism is insane, but not surprising when you consider their success. Meanwhile, anti-Semites give Muslims a pass for atrocities.

But I’m old fashioned and think perpetrators are responsible for their actions. Quaint, huh?

When I recarpeted and lino’d the place, she got her jollies by running full tilt up the hallway and jamming on the brakes. Before it had been changed, it was all carpet, and she would come to a really quick stop, or do a 90 degree turn into the main bedroom trying to work out how many G’s she could generate before losing traction.
Not so with the lino. No way.

Federal Judge Forces FDA to Release Over a Million Pages of Pfizer’s COVID-19 Trial Documents They Wanted to Keep Hidden for 75 Years

The United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas ruled against the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in a high-profile case brought by the Public Health and Medical Professionals for Transparency (PHMPT).

The decision mandates the FDA to release the Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) file for the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine no later than June 30, 2025.

The case stemmed from a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request by the PHMPT, which sought comprehensive data related to the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine.

The FDA initially claimed it would need up to 75 years to process and release the requested documents. However, the Court, presided over by Judge Mark Pittman, rejected this argument, citing the importance of government accountability.

That way they can go back to their critical tasks of investigating sexual harassment claims from 300 years ago and marching for gay rights.

Memory Lane – Growing up in Australia

Anyone remember going here in the old days.

Questa Casa, also known as “The Pink House”, is Australia’s oldest working brothel: The brothel’s madam, Carmel Galvin, has lived there for 25 years.

She tells tourists stories about the brothel’s glory days, including a Dutch prostitute who reportedly saw 72 clients in a 12-hour shift.

The brothel’s history and the lives of those who worked there are the subject of the documentary The Pink House.

Again laws are already on the books. Ask the moron Webb to use them. Daily Telegraph:

Protests outside religious institutions and places of worship will face tighter regulation – or be outlawed altogether – as Premier Chris Minns declared it was no longer good enough to “hold the line”.

Designed to prevent the scenes of division seen outside the Great Synagogue of Sydney last week, the proposed reforms will aim to protect the right to peaceful assembly without intimidation or vilification of people based on their faith or religion.

The move comes amid “white hot fury” among the Jewish community towards the federal government about the lack of action, visits and engagement by senior Labor ministers.

Describing protests outside of places of religious worship as inflammatory and provocative, Mr Minns said he had been horrified at the Melbourne synagogue firebombing and protests in Sydney.

The Premier, who received a standing ovation after speaking at the Central Synagogue at Bondi in the wake of the attack, said the government needed to go further to ensure that people’s rights to religious freedom of expression and worship were protected.

“I am horrified by the attack at the Addas Israel Synagogue in Melbourne, and the recent sight of protests out the front of a religious institution,” Mr Minns said.

“Being heckled on the way in to observe your faith is not consistent with the principles of a multicultural, multi-faith community where all are protected by law from someone stopping them from prayer.

“Holding the line isn’t enough,” the Premier said.

“We have to go further and ensure that people’s rights to religious freedom of expression and worship is protected. It is the bedrock of our multicultural state.

“People have the right to feel safe in their own city, in their own churches, mosques, synagogues and other places of worship.”

He said he had asked the Attorney-General and the Cabinet Office to look at ways to better protect places of worship from protests and provide reform options to government.

Unlike many of his federal counterparts, Mr Minns has declared the Melbourne attack as “an act of terrorism” – going further than Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, who has been under siege for not following suit.

Former Labor leader Bill Shorten, when asked on Friday if the synagogue firebombing was an act of domestic terrorism, also said that even without knowing precisely the exact identity of the perpetrator – which he declared was a matter for police – that: “If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it is”.

Mr Shorten, who visited the Melbourne synagogue after the attack, also said the firebombing was not of a “milk bar” or “factory”, before releasing a strong statement declaring how “as a nation” Australians needed to “stand shoulder to shoulder with our Jewish community and embrace them, support them and speak out in their hours of need like William Cooper did in 1938 after Kristallnacht.”

Indigenous elder Cooper led a march to the German consulate after Kristallnacht, when Jewish homes and businesses in Germany were targeted by Nazi thugs.

German officials refused to take his written condemnation of the “cruel persecution of the Jewish people by the Nazi government in Germany” but the protest is seen by many as the only one of its kind in the world.

NSW Police Commissioner Karen Webb revealed she had spoken to her Victorian counterpart following the arson attack on the synagogue to determine whether there is any intelligence related to potential threats in Sydney.

Ms Webb spoke to Chief Commissioner Shane Patton on Friday and said while there was nothing to suggest any immediate threat, police had already increased patrols and would be highly visible in key places across Sydney.

What does Webb actually do except drink gin all day?
As for that bolded part, Minns’ just had to chuck in mosques, as if they are targeted every day by fiendish Christians and Jews.
Enforce the law dickheads.

Horrified, are you?

Not horrified about intimidators roaring around predominantly Jewish suburbs, holding rallies and marches every weekend around the Great Synagogue for over a year? Not horrified that school children have been instructed to remove their uniforms before going to the shops after school? Not horrified that Jewish schools have had to step up their security to the point where armed security are around the school grounds?

Wear your stupid Virtue Kippah into the city on the weekend and see where that gets you. Or maybe to one of the Sydney suburbs your Labor mates are so anxious to win?

HOLY SMOKES: Ana Kasparian absolutely ERUPTS on the Democratic Party and exposes them as thieves of taxpayer dollars.

We need more of this from fed-up liberals.

“When I look at my life right now and ask myself, which political party has made my life worse? It’s not the Republican Party. Locally speaking, the Democrats have complete control, and they have nearly destroyed my family’s livelihood.”

“I don’t care how naughty the Republicans are being right now. The people having a negative impact on my life is the Democratic Party, and they need to change their ways. When we say we want to change the status quo, it doesn’t mean we want to live in anarchy. It doesn’t mean that we want to have $24 billion of our taxpayer money in California stolen by these nonprofits.”

“It means that we want working people to be rewarded for their hard work. We want affordable housing. We want better working conditions, higher wages, better healthcare. These are things that Democrats used to purport to want to do. They don’t do any of it anymore. And so I’m done with them until they change their ways.”

When you elect a Labor government, you’re voting for radical social policy enforced by all the arms of government including the police.

The job of superficially popular leaders like Chris Minns is to conn the electorate into voting Labor, which then proceeds to enact radical social policy in which Minns and the ALP NSW right faction have no say.

Minns has no power. The street rabble of the radical left are running the Labor government in NSW.

India’s diaspora is one of Australia’s most vibrant and successful. It is now the second-largest diaspora group in the country – soon to be the largest, overtaking the UK. Over the past five years, India has provided more new Australian citizens than any other country.

….
Some of those divisions have ancient histories. Casteism has been exported to purportedly egalitarian Australia, where – according to new survey data – children are being excluded from birthday parties because their presence is considered “polluting” and low caste workers are being denied shifts by higher caste managers.

….
Dr Jasbeer Musthafa Mamalipurath, a lecturer in media studies at Queen’s University in Belfast, who has studied Australia’s Indian diaspora for more than a decade, says high-caste expatriates dominate cultural organisations, and exclude low-caste Hindus or people of other faiths.

….

Despite all of Minn’s talk since October 7, every Sunday since that awful day there’s a weekly NSWaffen sanctioned Jew hating festivus in Sydney’s CBD (and the effects on Sydney’s CBD businesses are profound). Whilst this Jew and other Jews try to avoid the CBD on Sundays, non-Jews also stay way.

Do I think Pretty Boy Minns is an anti-Semite? No, I suspect he’s appalled at what’s ensued since 7 October however he’s a pretty face that NSW Labor put up to win the state election in March 2023. It worked a treat, duping the electorate, particularly after the feebleness and insipidness of Parrothead. People were rightly furious after Covid. But ninety percent of Minns’ colleagues are far-left Jew haters.

Here’s the truth, after the utterly disgusting events in Sydney’s CBD on 9 October 2023 witnessed by me personally, a strong premier would have hauled in those two gin lane females, Catley and Webb, and sacked both. Catley’s is a pro-Palestine far-leftist. She is both inept and sinister. The fact she remains in her job is because Minns has zero power in caucus. As for the execrable Webb, I need a bucket near me when I see her on television.

I think calli said it best a day or two ago about Dutton and the Liberals. I am the first to admit that the Liberal party is not perfect however we are in a 1939 moment, we have no choice but to vote for Peter Dutton next March or May. This Labor/Green and police sanctioned Jew hatred would never have happened under the Liberals. I will vote Liberal in the lower house and split my vote in the upper house between the Liberals/Libertarians and PHON.

I want Labor gone but I also want those Teal whores gone too. They are simply Green wolves dressed up in Teal coloured sheep’s clothing

By the way, on Wednesday evening, in scenes reminiscent of Germany in 1938 or 1939, a baying mob of leftist and Muslim Nazis stood outside The Great Synagogue on Castlereagh Street here in Sydney and hurled obscenities and abuse. A Jew exited The Great and attempted to unfurl an Israeli flag in front of the Nazi scum. The Police had allowed the Nazi scum to stand on the street, they had done nothing to move on the Nazi scum but as soon as one Jew stood to face the Nazi scum, we saw how one goon police officer pompously rush over to confront the Jew and tell him to move on. That Jew complied however a short time later another Jew did the same, refused to comply and was issued with a notice. The first confrontation was filmed, the police officer insisted the Nazis had a permit to protest on the street outside the Jewish house of worship. However, here’s the thing, those Nazis had no permit.

That police officer should be sacked but so should gin lane females Catley and Webb. If Minns is serious about anything and I suspect he is not, that police officer should be terminated because either he lied or he is inept. I suspect both, which makes it worse. That police officer on Wednesday night on Castlereagh Street wasn’t interested in protecting the law abiding public, in this case the law abiding Jews, no, instead he was more interested in engaging in ideology and protecting the rights of feral Nazi scum.

I have zero faith in the NSW Police ability or even desire to protect NSW Jews….ZERO.

ENOUGH.

My first instinct is that the police officer lied about the permit however, if it’s true then yes, Catley and Webb have to go. Who in their right mind, in the current political climate, would issue such a permit?

My goodness gracious me. A bit late, file under saving your political arse. Hun:

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has met privately with Jewish community members at a synagogue in Perth one day after the firebombing of the Adass Israel Synagogue in Melbourne.

The meeting was closed off to media, though NewsWire understands Mr Albanese was invited to the community centre in central Perth and spoke there in the morning.

It is understood about a hundred people filled the synagogue.

Mr Albanese is expected to give a press conference in the WA capital on Sunday morning, where he is expected to speak further on the firebombing that has shocked the nation and triggered widespread anger.

In a statement posted to X on Saturday afternoon, Mr Albanese said the arson attack on Adass Israel was “un-Australian”.

“The Jewish community has made an extraordinary contribution to the strength and success of our nation, over generations,” he said.

“Time and time again, they have defied the cowardice and cruelty of antisemitism with courage and resolve.

“In this deeply distressing time, I want every member of the Jewish community to know our government unequivocally condemns the prejudice you have been targeted with.”

An Adass Israel worshipper allegedly observed two masked men deliberately poured accelerant on the floor of the house of worships before feeling the burning buildings about 4.10am on Friday.

Firefighters worked for 40 minutes to bring the blaze under control, which destroyed the building.

The Albanese government is facing a barrage of criticism for its alleged lack of action in stamping on the swell of anti-Semitism that has washed over Australia since the Hamas terror attack on Israel on October 7 last year.

Christ Almighty. The words and deeds of Albo just do not marry.
He can heap praise on the Jewish community all he wants, but at the end of the day, he is responsible, along with the weasel Premiers and next to useless Police Commissioners, for the wave of anti Semitic behaviour across Australia.
In voting for a two state solution, which of course Hamas don’t want, you and the hideous Wong Chap have emboldened arseholes here to be very naughty.
And to do this in Perth, on the other side of the country to where the actual shit is going down, well that’s the mark of the bloke.

This is what I find absolutely unacceptable, logic has completely left the scene in UK. If the government is keen to stamp out offence and causes of anxiety then why aren’t they applying that equally? The supposed offender who posted a message that caused the snowflake anxiety was also made anxious enough to react in that way. Why is his anxiety inconsequential?

Chart reveals why Australia is screwed
(News.com.au mainpage headline, 7 Dec)

Australians are getting poorer and a leading economist has produced a striking graph to explain the fall-off in living standards.

AMP chief economist Shane Oliver, in a post to X from Friday, shows off a graph displaying annual changes in labour productivity across several advanced economies.

Australia sits at the bottom of the group, registering a negative change in productivity, compared to a nearly 5 per cent growth rate in the US and 2 per cent growth in Norway.

“Australian labour productivity growth running at the bottom of the OECD … it’s the basic reason why living standards are falling in Australia,” Mr Oliver writes. …

In a more detailed research note, Mr Oliver said a surge in government spending was “exacerbating” Australia’s productivity slump and contributing to the drop in living standards.

“The surge in public spending is exacerbating Australia’s productivity slump with productivity down another 0.8 per cent over the last year as private market sector productivity is invariably higher than public sector productivity and as public spending squeezes out private business investment, it is likely exacerbating the weakness in private market sector productivity,” he said.

Entirely due to Labor seeing that ALP states and the Federal government have been hiring public serpents in massive numbers.

Cassie, been away for a few days, so sorry to read that your beloved mother has died. From the sounds of it, she was a mensch.

Meanwhile, TheirABC and the anti-education unions continue to conspire to prevent literacy:

Phonics — explicit literacy teaching focusing on the sounds in words — is being introduced into the Victorian curriculum despite resistance from the Australian Education Union.

Experts and the state government say the teaching method will improve results.

“Phonics, at heart, is basically just teaching children the letter sound relationships and it helps them to decode unfamiliar words,” Jordana Hunter from the Grattan Institute said.

“The research evidence is very clear that phonics is a very important component of an effective teaching approach in the classroom.”

Talk about dissembling. The ‘research’ has been very clear for decades, but you either wanted to believe otherwise, or were totes supportive of the Lazy Teachers Union.

And get this:

Earlier this year, the Australian Education Union expressed concern about the widespread introduction of phonics, saying it was being done without any consultation with teachers.

The AEU said the move demonstrated a “lack of respect for the teaching profession, who must be at the centre of any decisions around teaching and learning.”

“No other profession would be treated with the breathtaking disregard the minister has shown,” the union said.

Education Minister Ben Carroll has also announced the roll out of phonics will be fast tracked, and schools would share in $5 million to buy more handheld whiteboards and decodable texts.

“Whatever your post code, every child will get the benefits of learning how to read properly and it will set them up for life,” Mr Carroll said.

The state Labor government had previously resisted calls to adopt phonics in classrooms but changed its mind in the past two years.

Mr Carroll said the results from overseas were positive and couldn’t be ignored.

Who needs ‘results from overseas? ‘

I was taught to read and write in NSW beginning in 1959. The text was called The Phonic Primer, and it had an orange cover.

My cohort left school being able to read and write, with few exceptions.

I feel very sorry for kids who went through school via ‘student directed learning’ and all that nonsense. Poor sods can’t read, write or spell. It’s not their fault.

The Minister is arse-covering (although at least he has done something) and the LTU are digging in. Let’s hope some good actually filters down to the kids.

I know there would be some shortcomings and changes needed over time but I suspect that if say, 1965 curricula and texts were returned to the classrooms for the new school year, speed and breadth of leading, literacy and numeracy would all improve considerably.

When I started teaching in 1970 we were handed a file folder with curriculum that we were expected to teach at each level for all subjects.

No one asked any teacher if they wanted to be consulted on the matter. And I doubt I would have been in the profession for long if I had whined about not being at the centre of teaching and learning.

I thought the kids occupied that spot.

This story has more holes in it than a block of Swiss cheese. Chick with partner of 10 years at pub, goes outside with a guy she just met into an area where there is no CCTV coverage the next who knows what really happened?

The injuries to her don’t look good for him, the fact she went out there willingly doesn’t look good for her.

The lawyers leaking to the press don’t look good either. Am I right to think we are only hearing part of the story and that this isn’t her first rodeo with liaisons in a dark area of the car park outside of the CCTV.

On my comment about Minns and that Kippah.

He would be wearing it in a setting where it’s required…a synagogue or at a Jewish event. My husband has a collection of them! So I was being a bit unfair about that.

It isn’t the outward show that counts, it’s the inner sentiment that then expresses itself in actions. This has been wanting since October last year. Now we have escalated hostility on our streets. As the old saw goes, “all for the want of a horseshoe nail”.

Any response from the NSW government is too little too late.

As for the despicable Albanese, he has been weighed in the scales and found wanting. Not long now.

Wow, tough talk from Albo. That will fix it.

There are 2 levels of law enforcement here. Federal and state.

If we look back at the covid period, all resources available were mobilised to tyrannize, molest, beat up, incarcerate and generally brutalise Australians. The ADF, state police, AFP etc were monitoring and restricting all physical movements, surveiling online and telco activities, invading homes, arresting grannies etc.

But, when it comes to moslems intending and actually doing harm and publicly supporting terrorist organisations, strangely nothing seems possible to enforce the law, other than providing protection for pro-moslems against “Islamophobic” activity. Remember, BOTH parties brought us the moslem immigrants.

This country is a fkg shambles everywhere.People think that Dutton is a saviour. He isn’t. The PM doesn’t control state plods where the law enforcement task lies and state plods are union/Labor owned. Dutton is another obedient cog in the UNiparty machine- he was in Scummo’s cabinet as Home Affairs czar approving all the covid oppressions funding the likes of that animal Andrews (spit!), he still pays homage to the AGW scam/hoax and the Paris Accords, he wants freedom of speech in Australia curtailed.

He’s just another fkg cop.

Oh and back in early 2023 the NSWaffen Police allowed a protest outside a church.

I know coz I was there, with Tinta. I saw it and I felt it, the menacing, creepy and very sinister violence of the frothing far-left Nazi scum as the NSWaffen Police allowed them to walk directly past St Mary’s Cathedral whilst a funeral service was happening, a funeral service for Cardinal George Pell.

That was allowed under the Parrothead government, both Minns and Parrothead, two supposed Catholics, stayed away from the funeral service because both are spineless cowards.

It was pretty obvious, even then, that NSWaffen Police are SCUM, as are ninety percent of our politicians.

I remember how Mark Latham, who’s always targeted by scum for speaking truths, said…

‘who the f*ck protests a funeral’?

Good question. Who protests outside a synagogue? Who protests in Jewish suburbs? Who drives convoys of cards through Jewish suburbs to threaten and intimidate? Who stands in front of the Opera House and screeches f*ck the Jews, gas the Jews and where’s the Jews?

The template was set at the Pell funeral. Neither Minns nor Parrothead denounced that obscene funeral protest.

ALL ARE SCUM.

‘I get WA’: Anthony Albanese’s pitch to shore up west coast support ahead of Federal Election 2025Joe SpagnoloThe West Australian
Sun, 8 December 2024 2:00AM

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has declared Labor can win extra seats in WA in next year’s Federal election as he made his re-election pitch to the State that delivered him the keys to The Lodge nearly three years ago.
Mr Albanese said he was hopeful Labor would not only hold on to Liberal seats it won in 2022 — Tangney, Pearce, Hasluck and Swan — but was also hopeful of picking up Moore, Durack and the new seat of Bullwinkel.
Victory in those key WA seats delivered Mr Albanese majority government and with polling showing a tight race or even a hung Parliament, WA will likely again be a kingmaker State next year.
But 13 interest-rate rises and high inflation have plagued Mr Albanese’s Government over its first term, while a rise in anti-Semitism is also plaguing Labor as Opposition Leader Peter Dutton and the Liberals use the issue to paint Mr Albanese as a weak leader.
Polling now shows that voters could deliver a hung Parliament, meaning Mr Albanese would need to cobble together government with the help of Greens and independents.

That’s why hanging on to WA seats — and possibly winning extra seats — is crucial to Mr Albanese in his quest for a second term.
In an exclusive interview with The Sunday Times, Mr Albanese acknowledged WA was vital to winning a second term of government.
“Last time around, WA pushed us up over the top for a majority,” he said in South Perth. “WA is always going to be important.”
The Prime Minister pointed to key achievements — like the lifting of trade bans with China in areas like wine and barley, and soon-to-be lifted live rock lobster bans — and aiding WA’s critical minerals and renewable hydrogen industries growth through production tax credits as reasons he hoped WA would support him again.

Key achievements – like the banning of the live sheep trade….

Homs has now fallen apparently.

Syrian rebels announce seizing full control over Homs, the third-largest city (JPost, 8 Dec)

Syrian rebel commander Hassan Abdul Ghany said early on Sunday that insurgent forces “fully liberated” Syria’s central city of Homs.

This comes after Abu Mohammed al-Golani, leader of the Islamist rebel group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, a former al Qaeda affiliate, said in a video message on Saturday that the rebels are “in the final moments of liberating” Homs.

Golani called it a “historic moment” and called on his fighters not to harm “those who drop their arms.”

The rebels also claimed to have freed over 3,500 inmates from Homs military prison (Baluni prison), posting a video of it to their Telegram channel.

Dozens of fighters from Hezbollah’s elite Radwan forces fled Homs after a decision was taken with the Syrian army that the city could no longer be defended, a Syrian army officer told Reuters on Saturday.

Very dangerous for Syrian Christians, but Hezbollah could actually be eradicated, caught between two fronts. By now I suspect they are ruing their attacks on Israel.

The memory-hole is getting full.

  1. The guy who poured coffee over the kid in the park. CCTV showed it was a chink wot done it, but the cops were unable to work it out till he’d fled back home.
  2. The Iranian woman who ran over the kids at school, killing one. Suffered a “medical episode” according to the cops, as if that is enough to let her off. Let a jury decide.
  3. Addass Israel terrorist firebombers identity. Possibly not mahommedans, otherwise the cops would have implored against Islamophobia.
  4. Culprits in the “Burgertory” firebombing. Suggestions that the owner lit it himself for insurance. Cops said – not religiously motivated, so they clearly know whodunnit, but no charges laid yet.

Cops are useless except for running booze buses on busy main roads at peak hour causing traffic chaos.

Andrew Rule:

In the district that Geoff Clark terrorised for years, the locals call him “Borer” but there’s no affection in the nickname.

Anyone who knows Geoffrey Wayne Clark now tends to avoid admitting links with the disgraced “Indigenous leader,” convicted fraudster and thief, accused multiple rapist, bash artist, football thug and standover man.

The reality, of course, is that some people in southwestern Victoria were once happy to profit from Clark’s criminal streak.

Leaving aside his entourage of jailbirds, brawlers and rapists – most now dead or close to it – there were others who should have known better. Instead, they played along with Clark’s rackets to get a piece of the action.

They know who they are. Certain stock agents and contractors and government employees, opportunists who picked the taxpayer’s pocket as Clark played Aboriginal politics like a fiddle, siphoning funds for his own ends.

He stole so much for so long, victimising such a small group of people, most of them related by blood or marriage, that it was a form of extended-family abuse. You could call his victims the Stolen From generation. Some of them gathered outside the County Court last week to see the bully get his right whack.

The Stolen From are entitled to look long and hard at those who profited from Clark’s habitual exploitation and intimidation while milking public funding for private spending.

Clark was convicted of stealing close to a million dollars but no one doubts the real figure could be much more and that the court wasn’t hearing the full story despite the sustained brilliance of the investigators who finally nailed him.

There were multiple houses, properties, cars and, if rumours mean anything, expense rorts in pubs and massage parlours and strip joints. Gossips say “Borer” played up like a union boss on a Thai sex tour.

And then there was the dark side of the man who once tried to bring an illegal semiautomatic military carbine into Australia through Darwin airport.

The man who once pointed a gun at the head of a terrified reporter to stop him exposing Clark’s firewood-stealing racket in the Framlingham state forest.

The man who once smashed up a room at a Halls Gap motel and stood over state government staffers too nervous to complain or even go on the record about it later.

The man who once lured a South Australian drug courier to a Warrnambool motel, savagely assaulted and robbed him and raped his girlfriend, a crime worth 10 years jail that was written off.

The same man who in 2022 was given a good behaviour bond for threatening a site manager with a weapon and abusing him and another as “white f–king peasants” when they refused to give him the keys to a ute, which he then took by force.

The same man who offered armed robber and reputed hit man Amos Atkinson a Toyota HiLux and the salary from a “phantom” job at a taxpayer-funded goat farm if he killed a woman who was levelling rape charges against him.

The target was Clark’s cousin Joanne McGuinness, who brought the rape case to court only to see it dismissed. Witnesses lose their nerve when hit men are on the case.

To be fair to Atkinson, he always swore he refused the hit on principle (“I wouldn’t do that – kill a ‘sister’,” he told this reporter) and in any case didn’t fancy the goat farm job because it was at Balranald. He seemed insulted that Clark thought he could be bought so cheaply.

When several thousand locals and visitors hit Warrnambool racecourse last Sunday for the sixth edition of country racing’s new classic, the Jericho Cup, Clark’s recent jailing was a big topic of conversation.

He has gone inside for close to four years, with a maximum of more than six, on 25 fraud and theft charges. That’s no small thing for a man of 72, but no one suggests it was enough.

The consensus is that he got off lightly for those crimes for which he has been convicted, let alone everything he got away with.

It was always obvious to Warrnambool people that Clark was a suspiciously big spender.

Regular racegoers pointed out the spot where he paid for a corporate marquee at the annual May carnival one year, handing out free food and booze as if cost were no object. Bad Santa in a possum skin coat.

The marquee would have been fine if he weren’t stealing public money to do it. And, directly or indirectly, killing protected wildlife to play dress-ups as a pretend tribal chief.

“Borer” is not just a fraud and a thief, of course. If he was lucky not to be jailed for serial rapes and assaults in the western district over many years, it was a case of making his own luck by cultivating favours.

At the Jericho Cup, locals at last felt free to talk openly to outsiders about a man whose malign influence has lingered over the district in general (and Indigenous people in particular) since the late 1970s.

Clark’s undoubted ability as a country and suburban footballer and feared “king hitter” effectively scored him a “do-not-go-to-jail card” from an old-school policeman involved in the team he played for over several seasons. The team was South Warrnambool, known as “the Roosters”; the old-school cop was the late Jack Manley, a “legend” who could make assault and sex offences vanish.

Racegoers shook their heads at Judge Michael O’Connell’s comments last week promoting Clark’s “otherwise good character” and “fearless advocacy” for the Aboriginal community as mitigating factors in sentencing.

Locals recall Clark brazenly abusing funds intended for the welfare of “his people” to bankroll his lifestyle. But theft and fraud was never the most sinister thing about him.

The sister of one former Clark teammate had a narrow escape from being pack raped by Clark’s gang in the 1970s.

“She was walking through the cutting from the beach and there was a car load of them waiting,” a close friend of the woman told me on Sunday. “She was terrified — but then ‘Borer’ recognised her and told the others to leave her alone because she was (the footballer’s) sister.”

It took years for that young woman to tell her family how close she came to being one of the many victims abducted and raped by Clark’s gang, some being schoolgirls as young as 14.

So when the kindly Judge O’Connell pronounced that Clark’s million-dollar fraud was “profoundly disappointing” because of his “achievements” and his previous “good character,” Warrnambool people rolled their eyes.

The fact that Clark’s older son Jeremy was convicted but not jailed for related theft and fraud offences also disappoints the court of public opinion.

Whenever Clark couldn’t avoid charges by being an enforcer on the football field or a police informer off it, he could afford the best legal advice. There was a time when he could even rort and extort enough money to pay the great 20th century defence counsel Robert “The Red Baron” Richter to act for him.

Unluckily for Clark, one of the extensive and expensive Richter team had an attack of conscience and leaked information against him in 2001.

When Clark’s lawyers asked privately if there could be any more rape victims other than those who had already sworn affidavits against him, he couldn’t give a straight answer. He eventually admitted there were so many he couldn’t remember them all.

Richter pretended to box on gamely but was no doubt privately disappointed at this. His fashionable client, darling of Clifton Hill and Canberra cultural cliques, had turned out to be the Chernobyl of toxic masculinity. No one knew how many victims the defence might find. Any chance Clark had of suing for defamation evaporated.

Almost a quarter century later, the once barrel-chested, sneering and snarling Clark cuts an increasingly strange figure.

His hair, once sandy red, is as long as his unkempt biker beard and both have turned the faded shade of a dried tea bag. The big chest has given up the fight against an even bigger belly covered with tentlike T-shirts featuring faux tribal designs under a coat that homeless people could sleep under.

Like the judge who sentenced him, Clark seems profoundly disappointed at the way things have turned against him. After all these years of getting away with it, he is now behind bars for the first time since he did several months for assault as a dangerously violent teenager.

But whether he will serve out his time in a real prison is another thing. Even before his sentence had been handed down, city lawyers noticed the ostentatiously oddball figure shambling around the court precinct, muttering to himself and looking up at the sky like some biblical figure in the wilderness. McMoses on ketamine.

It’s possible Clark might have reached breaking point. But that doesn’t sound like the hard man that people have feared for 50 years. Cynics might think he’s showing easily-faked signs of mental decline that could ease the way to a reduced sentence and softer prison conditions. That cunning old killer Roger Rogerson tried exactly the same ruse and so did heavyweight champion conman Alan Bond.

Sad and mad or just bad? Watch this space. Borer was never one to resist a rort.

Fascinating, nauseating and infuriating all at once.
Having seen him as a young bloke, can attest he thought himself above the law.
Actually surprised he hasn’t taken down others in his orbit.
Anyway, keep him there. A truly repulsive man.

What is most interesting about the Conviction of Geoffrey is that his usual inner city cheer squad have fallen silent.
Up until now, any Accusation Against Geoffrey was met with howls of protest, led by Julian Burnside, that this was waaacism and an attempt by the Liberals to take down a fearless an honourable ‘Digineous Activist.
Since his thieving has been presented undeniably before a court with some of the key witnesses being Aboriginal relatives and community members Julian and Co have now gone quiet and are looking at their shoes.
What they fear most now is not more evidence of thieving (it’s only Gummint money, after all). What they dread is that, with Geoffrey safely locked up, an avalanche of women will come forward with credible and corroborated rape claims.
Which will make Julian and Co’s Defence of Geoffrey look a tiny bit misogynistic.

Yeah nah, that’s not how the game is played. See when you’ve been assigned the category of oppressor class, the only emotion that can be attributed to you is hate. So the offender posted their message from a position of hate, ergo a hate crime, totally different to the victim who makes their post in mere anxiety.

On fire yet again. Long may he keep his head above the parapet. My bolding etc. (Without wishing to appear condescending, for the non-mathematical readers, in the last sentence, an order of magnitude is a factor of 10.)

We didn’t vote for that
On that rarest of creatures: a politician who keeps his word

James Allan

Have you noticed how many things today’s politicians do that nobody ever voted for? It goes without saying that no one voted for the lockdown hysteria that included closing schools, making up social distancing requirements out of thin air, throwing darts at a phone book to decide which small (never large) businesses would close, pressuring social media companies to ban and shadow ban sceptics, spending and printing so much money to keep these idiocies going that it exploded asset inflation and transferred huge wealth from poor to rich and from young to old, basically doing more for inequality at home and around the globe than all the pre-pandemic policies of all the right-of-centre parties in the world put together. And multiplied by ten. And all while delightfully being cheered on by the ABC, BBC and CBC. As I said, I don’t recall anyone voting for any of that.

Nor do I recall voters sixty, fifty and forty years ago voting for the sort of mass immigration policies that have led us, in some serpentining way, to the recent riots and protests that could only be described as anti-Jewish and anti-Semitic. (Come on. The sophistical and Jesuitical attempts to argue that being anti-Israel, the only democracy in the Middle East that abides by far more careful military strictures than the US or Britain did in the second world war, in no way amounts to being anti-Jewish simply aren’t credible when that country’s enemies want to wipe every Jew out of the country. They say so openly. They deliberately park fighters and weapons in schools and hospitals.) Put differently, we have had hard-core multiculturalism shoved down our throats when, had the near-certain ramifications been explained to us, we the punters would never have voted for them.

Or what about the mania in government and big business for hard-core affirmative action under the guise of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion? 

Did anyone vote for that, with its demand that none of us think in terms of the individual human being but instead in terms of groups? Step one, you bunch people together in terms of their type of reproductive organs or skin pigmentation or when their DNA arrived somewhere on earth. (And why those arbitrary groupings and categories? Why not Christians as a group getting special privileges or ex-military types or working class men?) Step two, you demand statistical equivalence for these arbitrarily selected groups as regards corporate board places or university professorships or anything desirable. (Note that no one ever demands this for undesirable jobs or says that because 95 per cent of deaths at work are jobs held by men therefore we really need to get women into these jobs so that they can die at a statistically equivalent rate. That would be idiotic, right?) And step three is to claim that any statistical divergences are solely the result of discrimination and racism and sexism. It can never be due to people’s differing preferences and abilities and individual work ethics. The result is that we are only allowed to see things through the prism of identity politics and supposed oppression. Did you vote for any of that garbage? I didn’t. But when the Coalition gets into office what do they do about it? Nothing. Nada. Zippo.

And that brings me to Donald Trump’s recent sweeping victory. Establishment conservatives hate the man. My theory is that for many of them it’s because he embarrasses them by trying his utmost to keep his promises. Fourteen years of consecutive Conservative governments in the UK promising to significantly bring down mass immigration and it only ever went massively up. By contrast Trump tries to keep his pledges, establishment Senate Republicans willing. Mr Morrison wins an election here on the basis of sane energy policies and then out of the blue signs us up to net zero. Did anyone vote for that? Does any sentient being believe that Donald Trump would do that? All the snide and sneering remarks about how boorish and crass he is (and not just by left-wing commentators but by a host of right-wing establishment types too) assume that voters prefer a suave, debonair politician with impeccable manners but no backbone and no willingness to go to the wall for his promises over a Trump-like politician who intends to keep his word to the extent of his available powers. I know which option I want.

Consider this stunning set of poll results. In 2018 young men voted for the Democrats by over 19 points. In 2020 they voted Democrat by over 15 points. In 2022 it was the Dems by over 1 point. And in last month’s election? Young men voted for Mr Trump and the Republicans by over 13 points. That means that in six years young men have moved 32 per centage points to the right. And that was largely due to Mr Trump – not the Karl Rove type of advisor class policies or because of a candidate like John Pesutto. No, it’s because of such things as Trump’s promising to get rid of DEI everywhere he can. And just by being elected it’s happening already with Walmart and other big companies last week ditching DEI. Likewise, Trump’s cabinet nominees are promising to eradicate it from the federal government and the military. Young, white, working-class men have been some of the most disadvantaged people over the last quarter-century. So going back to a merit-based view of the world is political gold.

Here’s another way of putting all this. Unlike politicians for much of the last half-century, Trump is trying to do what his voters voted for. No caving in to a legacy media that US surveys show have only four per cent Republican-leaning journalists. No caving in to the bureaucracy (because, again, Washington DC voted 93 per cent for Kamala). And best of all, Trump simply did not listen to the advisor class that surrounds conservative politicians in the Anglosphere. Remember all the talk of how any other Republican candidate would do better in the election from the likes of, well, just about all conservative talking heads? Well, we know that was simply wrong. In all seven swing states Trump outperformed the down-ticket Senate and House candidates. He brought out voters the usual suspects could not. Why? Well, he’s brave in doing all that he can to keep his promises. And he fights the culture wars. And he seems to have an instinctive respect for free speech. Where do I sign up?

Compare that to the Coalition’s disgraceful support for the under-16 social media ban Bill. This is possibly the dumbest call Dutton could have made. And from all accounts it was a Dutton captain’s call. Why? In practice this thing will either collapse into meaningless ‘tick this box if you’re over 16’ or it will make everyone sign up online to what is step one of a digital ID. Can’t the Libs see that after their warm embrace of lockdown thuggery and fear-mongering all sorts of the base, their natural voters, don’t trust them? Dutton had moved most of these voters back home and then in one steroidally stupid choice – made worse by past Coalition appointees who’d operate this thing – he threw it all away. Can you imagine what the government would have done to lockdown and vaccine sceptics were digital ID in place? I can.

And here’s the really depressing bit. Only Senators Matt Canavan and Alex Antic thought principle outweighed career prospects and were brave. Don’t talk to me about Trump being flawed.

As a politician he’s orders of magnitude better than what the Liberals and Nationals offer up to us in this country.

Bullet sparks fresh police probe at synagogue fire in Ripponlea

Police are investigating a rusty bullet found outside the Adass Israel Synagogue, a day after worshippers were left with burns and millions of dollars worth of artefacts were destroyed.

A Victoria Police spokeswoman confirmed a single bullet had been found on the footpath outside the synagogue, along Glen Eira Ave in Ripponlea, just before 5pm on Saturday.

“The item will be examined and the exact circumstances surrounding it are being investigated,” the spokeswoman said.

The ‘bullet’, not actually “rusty” but certainly very heavily corroded (scroll down), was apparently found by a child.

Where will this go?

Perusing the dead tree Hun and has a headline ‘Conmunity Rejects The Vile Hatred’, of course pertaining to the synagogue fire.
So the normal procedure, get a few words from the leading Jewish people etc. and how appalled they are, along with the majority of Australia.
They are holding a rally at Ripponlea to denounce the shit flying their way.
Yet the ending of the article reveals all that is wrong with this poxy state:

On Saturday Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan reaffirmed the government’s commitment to introduce anti-vilification and social cohesion laws.

Despite condemning the firebombing, Mzzz Allan isn’t expected to attend the rally.

Wouldn’t expect her to after being confronted by incensed Jews with Avi Yemeni asking her hard questions, in which her response was to flee.
These last two paragraphs raise the blood pressure:

Across the city, pro Palestine protesters will gather outside the State Library for the 61st week in a row, with a march scheduled through the CBD ending at Flinders Street station.

Protesters will here from speakers, including Aboriginal activist Gary Foley, Uncle Robbie Thorpe and a member of the Woolworths strike.

Cease all funding to organisations that have Foley and “Uncle” in their employ. And ask old mate from Woolies not to turn up once strike action finishes.

On Saturday Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan reaffirmed the government’s commitment to introduce anti-vilification and social cohesion laws.

These are EXACTLY the kind of laws just introduced in the UK by Starmer. The laws arresting native white Brit grannies and grand dads , putting them behind bars- for upsetting moslems online and singing hymns in public.

In Wriggling and Squirming news:

After previously declaring the firebombing of a synagogue as “antisemitic”, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has revised his position and expressed his “personal opinion” that it qualified as a “terrorist attack”.

The Prime Minister said in his “personal view” the incident was “quite clearly” a terrorist attack.

“There has been a worrying rise in antisemitism, but we call it out and we call it out consistently,” he said.

“Now tomorrow the Victorian Police and the Australian Federal Police will be having a meeting.

“There is a technical process that is agreed in the protocols for designating an event as a terrorist act. That meeting is taking place tomorrow.

“If you want my personal view, quite clearly terrorism is something that is aimed at creating fear in the community.

“And the atrocities that occurred at the synagogue in Melbourne clearly were designed to create fear in the community.

“Therefore, from my personal perspective, (the attack) certainly fulfilled the definition of terrorism.”

Translation: And hopefully some time on Monday faceless bureaucrats will have lifted the responsibility and electoral consequences of this complex and deeply technical process from my narrow little shoulders.

Firm hand on the tiller.

Quebec premier to attend Notre-Dame Cathedral reopening Saturday in Paris

Many other heads of state and dignitaries are expected at the reopening ceremony, but Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is not scheduled to attend.

Legault thanked French President Emmanuel Macron for the invitation, which he said was a sign of the deep historic and cultural ties “between our two nations.”

This report by The Canadian Press was first published Dec. 5, 2024.

I wonder why there was no Australian representation at the reopening.

Re the terrorist attack on the synagogue I find it odd that there is no video footage mentioned. Was there no video installed or was it turned off? I would have thought that security video would have been installed. 

I don’t know every synagogue in Melbourne but I do know the area where that synagogue is quite well having grown up not far away. It would be one of the few Jewish institutions built right up to the footpath like a shopfront with no forecourt or space to have a security fence around it. It would have been readily accessible from the road. The other synagogues and schools I know or have been to have serious barriers and security with CCTV, frequently parked police vehicles nearby and armed guards at busy times etc. The Adass one is at the end of shopping strip and across the road from a railway station and small park. They are a sect that are not interested in modern aspects of life and I’d be surprised if they had high tech surveillance, but who knows?

Some Fitzroy Crossing kids have not gone to school in years – an innovative program aims to boost attendanceBethany HiattThe West Australian
Sun, 8 December 2024 2:00AM

A radical program aimed at getting truants back to school is bringing teachers to the students in the Kimberley town of Fitzroy Crossing.
And some teachers are meeting students whose names have been on their class lists for years for the first time.
Dire school attendance rates had Aboriginal leader Clinton Wolf despairing kids would ever return to classrooms.
“The biggest issue is, if you’re illiterate, you can’t do the things you need to do to be successful in Australia,” he said.
After years of COVID-19, and then the devastating once-in-100-year flood which wiped out the Fitzroy River Bridge and cut the town in half in 2023, many kids just stopped going to school. Some didn’t even start.
The latest Education Department figures show this year’s secondary attendance rate at Fitzroy Valley District High School was just 20.4 per cent — far below the attendance rate for all WA public schools of 82.2 per cent.
Inspired by a similar program in Derby, the Marra Worra Worra Aboriginal Corporation led by Mr Wolf set up a Night Space facility four months ago with funding from WA Police and the Department of Justice.

The program caters for kids aged from five to about 17, giving them a safe place to visit at night, have a meal and socialise.
More than 300 young people have visited since it opened in September, including 35 children under 10 and 127 aged 10 to 12.
“They can come in to an environment where there’s adults who are caring and nurturing,” Mr Wolf said.
“We give them a hot meal, wash their clothes, they have a shower or whatever, get themselves tidied up, they interact in a social setting.”
Importantly, crime figures for the district have plummeted by 36 per cent since the Night Space was set up.
But the corporation has a wider vision beyond feeding kids and keeping them off the streets. It aims to expand activities offered at the Night Space and eventually add a classroom.
“So the kids can come there, not only during the night-time, but during the daytime, because they have relationships in place, built on trust now, where we can slowly integrate them back into the school system,” Mr Wolf said.
Marra Worra Worra pays some staff from Fitzroy Valley DHS to help at the centre, preparing meals and mentoring young people.
Mr Wolf said teachers had met some students for the first time, even though their names had been on their class rolls.

Adass Yisrael in Sydney and Melbourne are children and grandchildren of deeply religious Jews who were fortunate to survive the Holocaust.

You have to understand that prior to World War II, Eastern Europe was home to millions of Ashkenazi Jews, almost all of whom were very religious. These Jews lived in places we now call Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary, Ukraine, Slovenia, Ruthenia, Czechoslovakia, Transylvania, Poland, the Baltic States, Belorussia, Russia and the Balkans. Shifting borders meant that a Jew could be born in Poland but end up an adult living in Ukraine. But it never mattered because for those millions of Jews those places were ‘Yiddish land’, it was the cradle of Ashkenazi Jewry, an historical remnant of the Pale of Settlement. Fiddler on the Roof offers a whimsical window into that vanished Yiddish land. It was a world of hideous persecution, pogroms, mass murder, forced conversions and so on but it was also a Yiddish land of great learning, of deep spirituality, of vibrant Jewish life, of Jewish song, dance, prayer, love and laughter. That vanished Yiddish land of shtetls and shtiebels, annihilated by Nazism, was home to dozens of Chasidic and Mitnagdim Hasidic sects, all founded by famous rabbis who lived in the 17th and 18th centuries, who liked to fight spats with each other over theology but both teamed up with each other to fight Zionism, which they regarded as a secular irreligious Darwinism.

That Yiddish land is no more, gone, disappeared, vanished, destroyed, and annihilated during World War II but you have remnants who live in the West and Israel, and they’re called Adass, Satmar, Lubavich, Breslov, Bobov, Belz, Vizhnitz and others. These sects clutch and cling to their traditions, and this is perfectly encapsulated by the song ‘Tradition’ in Fiddler on the Roof. Why is tradition so important? Because it allows these deeply religious Jews to continue their traditions and to keep their societies running as the world around them changes.

Here in Sydney I personally know many members of the Adass Yisrael community, I have on occasion frequented the Adass Synagogue here in Sydney’s Bondi. Adass are an ultra Haredi movement, originating in Hungary. Prior to World War II, Hungarian Jews were either uber secular or uber religious, there were not many in between. Adass are uber religious, I wouldn’t use the word ‘cult’, but they do operate like a sect within Judaism, they keep to themselves, they are very, very religious and conservative.

The Israeli television series, Shtisl, was based on a Haredi family living in Mea Shearim. That life is an Adass life.

An anecdote, in 1935 a friend’s late father was sent to a renowned Yeshiva in Warsaw to study Torah and Talmud and become a rabbi. This friend’s father’s father was very proud of his son having been accepted into this Yeshiva. The young Jewish boy, then only sixteen, was a very curious young man however he quickly incurred the wrath of the head Yeshiva rabbi by spruiking Zionism, and then he was caught reading Darwin’s Origin of the Species. Oy vey! For the sin of reading this book he was expelled. Scared of going home, he hit the road, it took him over a year before he faced returning to his father and mother, who were both devastated. This young boy later survived the war by joining the Jewish partisans in the forests of eastern Poland. All his family, apart from one sister who escaped with her husband to Russia by swimming across a river, were murdered by the Nazis. My friend’s father was one tough Jew.

Albanese government commits $32.5m to Jewish community safety
James Dowling
The Albanese government has committed $32.5m in Jewish community safety funding as it seeks to regain trust in the wake of the Adass Israel Synagogue firebombing.
Anthony Albanese announced the funding on Sunday in a statement co-signed by Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus. The money will be provided to the Executive Council of Australian Jewry for distribution.
The Prime Minister signposted spending on security staff, alarm systems and more at Jewish schools and community centres. It comes as he faces arguments that Labor’s pro-Palestine pivots in the United Nations and softer rhetoric on rising anti-Semitism implicitly abetted threats against Jewish groups.
“This grant of $32.5m will enable the community to provide support and security on the basis of priorities established by the community themselves,” Mr Albanese said. “Anti-Semitism is disgraceful, and I unequivocally condemn it in all its forms.
“Every Australian has the right to be proud of who they are and to feel welcome, safe and supported in Australia.”
Mr Dreyfus pointed to previous Labor achievements as aiding in efforts to shore up community safety, such as criminalising doxxing and banning Nazi hate symbols.
“There is no higher priority than community safety for the Albanese government,” he said.
“Anti-Semitism has no place in Australia. We all have a responsibility to fight against it.”

We’ll be seen to have taken some action…

Spent yesterday catching up with a couple of cousins and their rellies. They admit that Udine is no longer the place it used to be, because of, you guessed it, all that outstanding cultural diversity that only a racist bigot could question.

Apparently, it all really started in 2015, when the EU brain-flashed the idea of abolishing its international borders (..but not if you come by air or other legal channels.. no.. then the bureaucracy will indeed have its pound of flesh at the stale-white Westerner’s trouble and expense). This enrichment is predominantly of the MENA variety, with a much smaller, more discrete rump from the Middle Kingdom. If my knowledge of human physiognomy is correct, Somalia and the Sudan also appear to be represented.

The “new” crowd mostly hangs around the train station (drugs-trade related?), accompanied by a visible, flashing-lights-an’all police presence every evening. Compare this to daytime, with me seeing just one (1) police car in 3 days of walking everywhere. However, plain-clothed police are plentiful, all day, allegedly.
Naturally, the ambience around the station is similar to Sydney’s Auburn, with the obligatory accoutrements of such cultural vibrancy as filth, graffiti and a general look of urban decay. Something that was not obvious when I was last there, almost 3 decades ago. The European malaise in full view, yet again.

PS. Yesterday’s post had a couple of errors: Udine is in Italy’s North-East, not its North-West. My jibe at Oz ethanol pricing didn’t mention the light, subtle and much more pernicious Oz taxation system, something we have all learnt to love and enjoy on a daily basis.
I blame jet-lag.

In short:

In May, Mr Dutton said the Coalition would target net migration of 160,000.

Correction: he tried to bug out. As Dover said that is to be ascertained.

Assad vanishes into thin air after rebels seize Damascus, whereabouts unknown (JPost, 8 Dec)

The aircraft initially flew towards Syria’s coastal region, a stronghold of Assad’s Alawite sect, but then made an abrupt U-turn and flew in the opposite direction for a few minutes before disappearing off the map. …

On Saturday night, US officials told CNN that Assad’s fate was currently unknown.

The officials cautioned that there has been no formal assessment of Assad’s status and that his death has not been ruled out. 

“The emerging consensus is that is an increasingly plausible scenario,” one senior US official said to CNN. 

Dunno what that all means, especially the U-turn, but there’re plenty of AA missiles floating around in that area.

I agree that Dutton is not a savior and nor should we be looking for one. We are in the dunny because we of the conservative side of politics have been given the choice between useless craven self serving slime like scummo and the turd or the liars. Now that the liars have brought us to the brink of annihilation we have a stark choice. Wait for a saviour, wait for a leader or take the leader we sometimes see and force him to lead by pressure from we the people.
I am not perfect, far from it, and I don’t expect perfection from anyone who seeks political office, what I expect is the leader of my preferred political party to delegate to those who can achieve things e.g. Jacinta Price and back them all the way.
Dutton will make more mistakes as will others on the conservative side, so long as they treat the msm with utter contempt, the filth and the liars as the enemy they are, then I will accept that as a meaningful start.

I live in a safe Labor seat these days. It used to be a safe Liberal seat. Then a swing seat after the AEC boundary re-jigging.

Corangamite. It used to be the south of the river Geelong suburbs and out into the rural area and including Colac. Enough population growth in southern Geelong enabled the AEC to punt the rurals and Colac to the safe Liberal seat of Wannon, thus creating a new Labor electorate. That’s how they keep in the game.

I have never understood Numbers Bob’s psychopathy about being conscripted. If he was as crazy then as now he would have been psyched out.

Few of us were overjoyed about having two years turned upside down but you went along to get along. We were pissed off about those who snuck out though. Those blokes who were determined to not cooperate went to Catering or Ordnance where they wasted their two years. Tradies went to RAEME. Almost all tradies wound up in Vietnam.

I was keen on an Aviation cadeship, but five years was too much so off to a battalion.

The NCO’s were generally excellent, friendly and committed to teaching. Many had been to Vietnam so it paid to learn from them.

The young officers were like us – Red P’s, so they were generally pretty communal. Martinets and wierdos were moved on quickly.

We diggers all got along pretty well with each other. Lots of sport, pisstaking and booze so it was just like home. Numbers would have been given a terrible time from the blokes. Whimps and wingers copped it.

We were pretty enthusiastic about training. After all, they were getting us ready to go to war. But that attitude did not extend to drill which was universally considered to be a bullshit waste of time that should have been spent in training. We jacked up, especially when the Duntroon Battalion Commander held parades so that he could show off to his general.

The RSM knew what we were up to. There was a smile in his growl as he ripped into us.

So that was Nasho. I simply cannot envisage a place for Numbers in that experience. It simply was not as he describes.

Drill is super important and creates cohesion.

I went through Kapooka in 1988. Everything was still Vietnam. The training, the weaponry, the clothing and equipment. Vietnam still had a vibe going on there. The full Colonel Commandant was a Vietnam veteran (artillery).

I read a couple of books when I was there. A Soldier’s Story by Terry Burstall a machine gunner involved at Long Tan (D Coy 6RAR), and one by Les McCaulay? specifically about Long Tan.

Yeah nah, I don’t agree with conscription of young blokes etc, but have mucho respect for the Nashos who dived in and did the job.

My barber for a long time was a Nasho 8RAR veteran. 1969/70 tour IIRC. He wasn’t frontline, but radio boy/batman for his OC Mike Jeffrey who ended up Governor General for a bit.

People like Numbers might have got through training somehow, but once “in country” they would have been identified as liabilities and weeded out. Hence one of his nicknames Liability Bob.

Drill can seem like a pain in the backside. The RAAF guys who were on the Garuda flight that crashed in Bali (they were doing an advance recce for an RAAF VIP flight) said they often thought so during their training. But that day made them forever grateful for it. They knew instinctively that something was badly wrong and their training (brace position and all that) kicked in automatically. One of them still suffered a broken shoulder, but they both agreed that without the benefit of the drill they would both have been dead.

Anthony Albanese’s Perth bar mitzvah visit sparks displeasure in Jewish communityPaul Garvey
2 hours ago.
Updated 2 hours ago

0 Comments
Anthony Albanese’s surprise visit to a bar mitzvah at the weekend has caused tensions within the Perth Jewish community, with members divided over whether the Prime Minister should have been welcomed at the event.
Mr Albanese, in Perth for a ­series of events across marginal West Australian seats, was a last-minute attendee at the bar mitzvah at the Perth Hebrew Congregation in Menora on Saturday morning.
While the synagogue’s rabbi and the family of boy celebrating his bar mitzvah were happy to have Mr Albanese attend, multiple sources told The Australian that several guests expressed their displeasure at his presence. It is understood a number of Jewish leaders have privately expressed that they would not have allowed Mr Albanese to visit their synagogues.
Rather than change his plans and travel to Melbourne and visit the site of the Adass Israel synagogue fire bombing, Mr Albanese has stuck with his planned appearances in Perth over the weekend. WA is shaping as the key state for Mr Albanese’s re-election hopes, with Labor’s ability to retain the seats it gained in 2022 likely to determine whether the party can hold on to power.
Opposition legal affairs spokeswoman Michaelia Cash, the most senior Liberal figure from WA, said she was aware of unease among the Jewish community over the Prime Minister’s appearance.
“Members of the Perth Jewish community who were at the event Mr Albanese attended say they were not happy and were ‘amazed at his chutzpah for attending’,” Senator Cash said.
“They say that he didn’t acknowledge that the Labor government’s actions since October 7 have contributed to what is now happening to the Jewish community in Australia.”
