“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.

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.

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?

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.

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.
Your last sentence says it all BB. Our pathetic leaders don’t need more laws. The Judiciary needs targeting every day as to how useless they are. Since the MSM is in governments pocket it’ll never happen.
He thinks this will placate the Jews so he doesn’t actually have to do anything. Wearing a skull cap is easy, ordering his police force to do their proper job is against his real religion which is leftie politics.
“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.
Brace yourselves for another round of freedom restrictions in the name of “doing something”, when, as BB said, all they need to do is enforce the law.
Don’t be too hard on them. They have to destroy freedom in order to save it.

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?
You and the NSW Police have allowed this to slide. No good waving your confected horror around now.
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.

I think you’ve said it best about Pretty Boy Minns, a lightweight I’ve called out since Monday night 9 October 2023.
Pretty Boy Minns talks very pretty words but he doesn’t walk those very pretty words.
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.
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 ladies Catley and Webb.
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.

Low Wattage Murray Watt on Sky being cosily interviewed by Clennell.
Everything is Peter Dutton’s fault, as usual.
Don’t they realise that this merely demonstrates their fear of Dutton?
They tried it with Abbott, who went on to win a landslide in 2013.
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?
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.

I was really disappointed with Josh Freydenberg pleading with Albo to declare the firebombing of the synagogue in Melbourne as a terrorist attack. Enough with the pleading, demand it. Albo needs to feel the heat.
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.
We had UK texts-
Dick and Dora, Nip and Fluff (the last two were pets, be not alarmed Gentle Reader).
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.

Hi from OZ , We have some good news .Some Dairy companies are saying that they are NOT using Bovaer . Also one is advertising that they only sell “FULL FART ” milk . I think that has to be the war cry .”We only want Full Fart milk” . Dairy I say this as it is a bit cheesy. I don’t want to butter up Bret and Heather but I think they are an example of the cream rising to the top of the milk. Cheers and Best wishes to everyone

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.
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.

Perhaps it is just more noticeable now, but the establishment’s conviction that they have the right to impose their ‘values’ upon the unwashed has been around for a while.
I recall in prehistoric times standing around outside a JC Superstar show that had just been canned by a magistrate as a consequence of a complaint by a pearl draped proto-Karen.
Overturned the next day, but the establishment had made their point – “it is people from OUR suburbs who are in charge”.
Queueing for a drink at our club’s Christmas charity last night. The fellow in front of me said “that young woman behind the bar is very attractive”.
“Yep, that’s my youngest granddaughter”. It was, and she is. How on earth did a ball of nappies suddenly become a beauty doing a holiday job behind a bar?

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.
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.
We desperately need the same here. No one will miss them. And their bureaucrats don’t vote for anyone but Labor. But in a two for one imagine all that new “skilled” Labor ready for the private sector. LMAO.
We reinstated it ourselves years ago by dint of special rides in the car to school (“missed the bus again”) enabling an enforced 15 minutes of rote repetition in a one on one situation. Worked very well.
I was in a Prep to grade 2 composite class at a small rural school. I therefore knew my times tables at the end of my prep year. As did most of the Prep grade.
That chanting of the tables by the whole class would develop a rhythm and, just like an advertising jingle, the material was fixed in our little minds.
Most, dare I say old, people can still run off their “ times tables” 60 years later.
… should face expulsion to a country more in line with their ideological beliefs.
And that should include the keffiyeh-wrapped university students from the comfortable Northern beaches.

‘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….
I recall back in the late 70s Senator Peter Rae headed a review of federal government QANGOs. The only one that got the chop was the ACT Collector of Rabbit Pelts.
the idea that it’s the government’s job to stamp out anxiety and offense is preposterous. like the euthanists, the slicing away of the undesirables always ends at N=1.
?It’s all an extreme form of political and cultural fascist narcissism

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.
Aboriginals could not defend ‘their’ land against invasion, and now won’t defend ‘our’ land. Well, not if the money runs out, and there’s not a. satisfactory arrangement with the new landlord.

The memory-hole is getting full.
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.
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.
Addass Israel terrorist firebombers identity. Possibly not mahommedans, otherwise the cops would have implored against Islamophobia.
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.
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.
Then all bets should be off with the family of the slain boy. Media may ignore them but in the days of social media there’s ways of getting your message out and the special treatment this woman got was eye opening.
Dunno maybe a complaint to IBAC as well on police partiality.
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.
I’ve mentioned in the past my close encounter with him in the early 2000’s when I was completing a project with indigenous staff of a certain Commonwealth department.
Issued a clear threat when I refused to hand over a copy of the project report.
A photo of the ugly toad is enough to make my skin crawl.
How on earth did this happen.
the story of that girl at the beach is harrowing.
Lock him up for life.
Remember a girl who said she was raped by him and his shies. Who does he think he is.
The journos made it seem light weight and funny.
Get rid of him.

The effective silence over the Melbourne terror event, the greatest outrage in modern Australian times, surely can’t continue.
Sure, our MSM and the propaganda networks are suppressing it, but the reality is beginning to hit home to despised ordinary Australians and even a rare few pollies. International bloggers are going to town on Albanese as they should.
I like to believe that the Young Labor Club p’sup organiser has walked himself into another ‘Voice’ disaster. I sent a note to Advance asking them if they intend to take up the issue – donation to follow if yes.
I want to see the smug faces of Albanese, Bourke and the Pig turn into supressed fury as always happens when the people thwart their fascism.

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.
Will Nilligan put together a three-part Fork Orners special on it?
Sleazebag trying some damage control. Many Millions of dollars for “Security”, have, of course been pledged.
Actually mentioned the “T”, word. Lol! What a f**king wanker!!
Also spouting his “I’m a real friend to Jews”, bona fides. Talk about a tin ear, and not being able to read the room.
The Jewish Community and their leaders need to shun the Labor Party and every single scummy pollie connected to them. Don’t let yourselves be used for media sound bites. As soon as the cameras and mics are switched off, every single word and pledge is chucked in the trash.
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?
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.
Or that would be my guess without knowing the specifics.

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.)
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.
A corroded .22 bullet that was probably sitting in the bottom of grandads toolbox for 50 years.
I reckon it’s got sod all to do with the burning. A plant perhaps?
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. Maybe I have just missed reference to this?
Pollies have dangled this carrot for years. Makes sense given the level of development out that way. Heavy rail still the only real way to move big volumes of people.

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.
You know where this is going, don’t you? Not at the pro-moslem supporters.
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.

Avi:
I ask politicians and police the hard questions and talk to the Melbourne Jewish community about the terrifying attack on the Adass Israel Synagogue.
Jeez, Prof van Wrongselen behind a paywall. Cripes. I expect Albo won’t be seen for dust after the election regardless of the result (which I expect to be a bloodbath).

Hopefully Australian politicians are observing Starmer’s impressive downward trajectory as the UK voteherd work him out.
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.
No word of any invitation and I find no record of nonacceptance here.
Would prefer Boland opening with the new ball than Cummins.
Don’t knock it, he just got Jaiswal with his first ball.
NSW biased asshole much Bruce?
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?”
And what does it typically result in, you f*cking moron?
THIS!
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.

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.
And the Ambo chicks with big arses. That I totally don’t want to smash.
I invented quantifarians.
Mad stroke by Jaiswal. A deliberate late cut feather through the slip cordon for Four.
A three course meal presents itself.
So the Jews, who to my knowledge have never ever concocted, let alone tried to carry out mass killings in this country can get fcked. Is that right?
What are ‘wefare queens’?
Something tells me you have had experiences with ‘ambo chicks’ before. Along the lines of ‘hold still while I sedate you’ after a few episodes of you mowing the roof at 3.00 a.m.
You are obviously a humourless welfare queen. The Quantifarians want you to explain why they been left out of your diatribe.

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.

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.

Enforce the law dickheads.
There will be no change until Albo loses the election. Minns can pretend to care and sound very earnest but there will be no action.
Your last sentence says it all BB. Our pathetic leaders don’t need more laws. The Judiciary needs targeting every day as to how useless they are. Since the MSM is in governments pocket it’ll never happen.
And AnAl had to put Islamophobia before anti-Semitism in his babble.
Isn’t Minns’ a Catholic? Which makes this as ridiculous as St Jacinda.
He thinks this will placate the Jews so he doesn’t actually have to do anything. Wearing a skull cap is easy, ordering his police force to do their proper job is against his real religion which is leftie politics.

Brace yourselves for another round of freedom restrictions in the name of “doing something”, when, as BB said, all they need to do is enforce the law.
Don’t be too hard on them. They have to destroy freedom in order to save it.
Was he also “horrified” at the protests during CDL Pell’s funeral? If he was, he kept it quiet at the time.
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?
You and the NSW Police have allowed this to slide. No good waving your confected horror around now.
That is now a parody, not an actual expression of emotion. It’s coming close to the Monty Python’s dead parrot gag.

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.
I disagree. If he actually did something effective he would be wildly popular and thus far less beholden to the far left of his party.
I repeat.

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.
….

I think you’ve said it best about Pretty Boy Minns, a lightweight I’ve called out since Monday night 9 October 2023.
Pretty Boy Minns talks very pretty words but he doesn’t walk those very pretty words.
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.
She is a perfect example of the saying that the outside reflects the inside.
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:
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.

Tallow & RFK Jr. vs. The Atlantic
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 started with “This is John. This is Betty” ! Golly it’s all coming back.
We had UK texts-
Dick and Dora, Nip and Fluff (the last two were pets, be not alarmed Gentle Reader).
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.

Hi from OZ , We have some good news .Some Dairy companies are saying that they are NOT using Bovaer . Also one is advertising that they only sell “FULL FART ” milk . I think that has to be the war cry .”We only want Full Fart milk” . Dairy I say this as it is a bit cheesy. I don’t want to butter up Bret and Heather but I think they are an example of the cream rising to the top of the milk. Cheers and Best wishes to everyone
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.

Thank you, Johanna. I really appreciate your kind thoughts.
Perhaps it is just more noticeable now, but the establishment’s conviction that they have the right to impose their ‘values’ upon the unwashed has been around for a while.
I recall in prehistoric times standing around outside a JC Superstar show that had just been canned by a magistrate as a consequence of a complaint by a pearl draped proto-Karen.
Overturned the next day, but the establishment had made their point – “it is people from OUR suburbs who are in charge”.

Queueing for a drink at our club’s Christmas charity last night. The fellow in front of me said “that young woman behind the bar is very attractive”.
“Yep, that’s my youngest granddaughter”. It was, and she is. How on earth did a ball of nappies suddenly become a beauty doing a holiday job behind a bar?

…my god, that bloke is a colossal tosser.
I find him contemptible that he cannot honour any occasion with an appropriate outfit. He is a horrid little method actor, that is all.
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.
Sounds like a good start.
Speaker Mike Johnson, backed by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, is plotting to eliminate 75% of federal government agencies. The current 428 agencies would be slashed to just 99. (7 Dec)
C’mon guys, even 99 is too many. Surely you can shave that down some more.
We desperately need the same here. No one will miss them. And their bureaucrats don’t vote for anyone but Labor. But in a two for one imagine all that new “skilled” Labor ready for the private sector. LMAO.
It would be educational for even a small proportion of them to start their own businesses.
Not public servants, but I knew a number or ADF personnel who retired to start a small business (often news agencies).
A year or two later, many were walking the corridors of Defence, in low level public service jobs.
Rote learning of the 12x tables by the end of grade 3 (at least) needs to be reinstated.
We reinstated it ourselves years ago by dint of special rides in the car to school (“missed the bus again”) enabling an enforced 15 minutes of rote repetition in a one on one situation. Worked very well.
I was in a Prep to grade 2 composite class at a small rural school. I therefore knew my times tables at the end of my prep year. As did most of the Prep grade.
That chanting of the tables by the whole class would develop a rhythm and, just like an advertising jingle, the material was fixed in our little minds.
Most, dare I say old, people can still run off their “ times tables” 60 years later.
Looks like they are still expected to know 10x tables
https://www.scootle.edu.au/ec/search?accContentId=ACMNA075
especially note the last item in that list (“Patterns and number facts: Year 4 – planning tool“)Possibly they are expected to learn the facts by methods other than straight rote learning it all.
Yep, the outcome of “student-directed learning” with regards to actual knowledge of tables may not be as it is with “explicit instruction”
Yep by the of grade 2 I reckon – then changing the sign over when you bring the number to the other side.
unfortunately that has never worked for me.

You can say that again.
Although I credit my wife and happy for it.
Imagine the poor kids wearing my physiognomy?
With the election rapidly approaching I suspect Federal Labor is leaning heavily on NSW and Vic Premiers to go easy on the antisemitic marchers.
No data for this hypothesis just my suspicious little mind.
One possible data (counter)point – I wonder, then, what Chrisstafooli’s response will be/has been?
Not “un-Australian” you Muslim salad tosser.
It’s “un-Western civilization” and anyone found to have done it should face expulsion to a country more in line with their ideological beliefs.
And that should include the keffiyeh-wrapped university students from the comfortable Northern beaches.
‘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….
The only achievement the Lying Labor Liars have is a discordant society breaking down. Fuc* off you POS trot traitor.
The Liars will go seriously backward at State and Cth level. The Liars could have already lost government before WA counting even starts, as usual.
The Ramaswamy recently told Tucker there are so many federal government agencies in the US it’s basically impossible to identify them all.
And yes, 99 is still too many, 99.
Mmmmmmm 99!
I recall back in the late 70s Senator Peter Rae headed a review of federal government QANGOs. The only one that got the chop was the ACT Collector of Rabbit Pelts.
the idea that it’s the government’s job to stamp out anxiety and offense is preposterous. like the euthanists, the slicing away of the undesirables always ends at N=1.
?It’s all an extreme form of political and cultural fascist narcissism
Remember what I said about the Police being full of woke marxists?

Aboriginals could not defend ‘their’ land against invasion, and now won’t defend ‘our’ land. Well, not if the money runs out, and there’s not a. satisfactory arrangement with the new landlord.
The memory-hole is getting full.
Cops are useless except for running booze buses on busy main roads at peak hour causing traffic chaos.
Then all bets should be off with the family of the slain boy. Media may ignore them but in the days of social media there’s ways of getting your message out and the special treatment this woman got was eye opening.
Dunno maybe a complaint to IBAC as well on police partiality.
I suspect they’ve been told not to rock the boat.
Multiculturalism is a delicate flower, and must be enforced with tyranny lest it rot in the ground.

Andrew Rule:
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.
Yes looking at the rap sheet above how he avoided becoming shark food in the Bass Strait is amazing.
Clark is just the latest in a long line of the “Big Men”, who consider themselves entitled to first pick of everything…
Burney considered attacks on him were whitefella racism.
The less than Noble Savage. As usual, most of his victims were Aboriginal. Fix your own house.
A classic warlord. The very reason we have a legal system.
I’ve mentioned in the past my close encounter with him in the early 2000’s when I was completing a project with indigenous staff of a certain Commonwealth department.
Issued a clear threat when I refused to hand over a copy of the project report.
A photo of the ugly toad is enough to make my skin crawl.
How on earth did this happen.
the story of that girl at the beach is harrowing.
Lock him up for life.
Remember a girl who said she was raped by him and his shies. Who does he think he is.
The journos made it seem light weight and funny.
Get rid of him.
The effective silence over the Melbourne terror event, the greatest outrage in modern Australian times, surely can’t continue.
Sure, our MSM and the propaganda networks are suppressing it, but the reality is beginning to hit home to despised ordinary Australians and even a rare few pollies. International bloggers are going to town on Albanese as they should.
I like to believe that the Young Labor Club p’sup organiser has walked himself into another ‘Voice’ disaster. I sent a note to Advance asking them if they intend to take up the issue – donation to follow if yes.
I want to see the smug faces of Albanese, Bourke and the Pig turn into supressed fury as always happens when the people thwart their fascism.
IT IS NEVER SAFE TO VOTE LABOR.
Great article BB- it just stinks so badly and in so many ways

My mail might not be 100%, but there are only two minor elements of that story which don’t tally with my understanding of the Exploits of Geoffrey.
The rest is totally kosher.
I want to see the smug faces of Albanese, Bourke and the Pig turn into supressed fury as always happens when the people thwart their fascism.
Would be even better than watching the Miles tantie back in October.
They really have NOTHING of value to offer the electorate.
Even prisoners have sisters, cousins, aunts who might have been on Clarke’s predatory hit list. He might have a welcoming committee.
A sort of “Welcome to Country” in fact.
Bush, earlier and apropos of snivelling by our betters:
Elbow could have nailed his colours to the mast, simply by uttering a single sentence along the lines of:
‘If you want to firebomb religious buildings, then this is not your country – and we will find you another one better suited to your needs.’
Speaking of which, have any of the multiple arson attacks on Christian churches in VicDanistan yet been solved?
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.
Will Nilligan put together a three-part Fork Orners special on it?

Actually mentioned the “T”, word. Lol! What a f**king wanker!!
Also spouting his “I’m a real friend to Jews”, bona fides. Talk about a tin ear, and not being able to read the room.
The Jewish Community and their leaders need to shun the Labor Party and every single scummy pollie connected to them. Don’t let yourselves be used for media sound bites. As soon as the cameras and mics are switched off, every single word and pledge is chucked in the trash.

Crossie inquired:
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.
Or that would be my guess without knowing the specifics.

Bullet sparks fresh police probe at synagogue fire in Ripponlea
The ‘bullet’, not actually “rusty” but certainly very heavily corroded (scroll down), was apparently found by a child.
Where will this go?
A corroded .22 bullet that was probably sitting in the bottom of grandads toolbox for 50 years.
I reckon it’s got sod all to do with the burning. A plant perhaps?
When will the “Monopoly” board be uncovered ..?
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. Maybe I have just missed reference to this?
A good question waiting for an answer that will only emerge when the authorities want it to.
IIRC some reports have mentioned cctv showing fluid (i.e. petrol) pouring into the doorway by 2 x persons clad in balaclava.
This may be cctv from a premises other than the synagogue.
Ellenbrook Metronet: Anthony Albanese, Roger Cook and Rita Saffioti declare rail line worth the wait
It’s only taken thirty years…
Pollies have dangled this carrot for years. Makes sense given the level of development out that way. Heavy rail still the only real way to move big volumes of people.
Cali, I made a point when Clark was sentenced they send him to Dhurringile near Mooroopna so the Yorta Yorta boys could take real good care of him… Have since found out they moved the last prisoners in August and closed it.
Bugger, Beechworth is still open, am willing to compromise so how ’bout there.
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:
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:
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.

Gary Foley – founder of the Aboriginal “Black Power” movement, and sucking on the public teat ever since?
I used to see Foley hanging around uts when I was a student there. Marxist agitator.
Because all this shite happens in the cbd every weekend, you just don’t want to go there any more. So it further decays.

On the subject of the synagogue attack, have any of the multiple arson attacks on Christian churches in VicDanistan yet been solved?
Is it something about the state?
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.
You know where this is going, don’t you? Not at the pro-moslem supporters.
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”.
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.

Jeez, Prof van Wrongselen behind a paywall. Cripes. I expect Albo won’t be seen for dust after the election regardless of the result (which I expect to be a bloodbath).
Hopefully Australian politicians are observing Starmer’s impressive downward trajectory as the UK voteherd work him out.
A long way out, but Labour is now polling behind Reform and the Torries*.
And the ‘how long will he survive’ drums are starting to beat for Starmer.

I wonder why there was no Australian representation at the reopening.
No word of any invitation and I find no record of nonacceptance here.
