As an off & on landlord since I’ve been in my 20’s the biggest problems with property damage have come from pets and not children. Dogs and sometimes unspaded cats.

I have never had an issue with renting to families or even single mum with a good job.

Question, why did you choose the first quarter of 24?

?
just ask the AI

This was a slight increase of 2% from the previous quarter, Q4 2023, when Tesla reported $433 million in carbon credit sales. 

Tesla’s carbon credit revenue has been a major contributor to its financial success. The credits are relatively inexpensive to earn, so they translate to pure profit for the company. Tesla has generated nearly $9 billion in revenue from carbon credits since 2009. In 2023, Tesla’s carbon credit sales reached a record high of $1.79 billion

OK, so what the last two decades demonstrates is that Tesla was better in their lobbying efforts and thus skewed the system to their advantage more successfully and to the detriment of the ICE manufacturers.

You’re just anti-Musk. The legacy automakers haven’t been asleep at the wheel (literally) when it comes to EVs. Both GM and Ford have committed to going fully electric by 2030. Each of them has as many models in the market as Tesla—possibly even more. They also entered this segment not long after Tesla. So stop with the absurdity that Tesla skewed the system in their favor. It’s simple: people preferred Teslas because they’re better EVs in the segments they were shopping for.

I mention tariffs as one of many examples in which the market for cars is skewed to EVs and you continue to pretend that a 100% tariff on Chinese EVs doesn’t assist Tesla in the US market. And you continue to make the claim which I never made that Biden did this as a favour, mainly, for Tesla.

You’re either for tariffs and protection, or you’re not. Agree or disagree—it doesn’t matter. The Biden Administration imposed those tariffs to protect the entire EV sector from export-subsidized cars being built in China and sent to the U.S. As a protectionist, what comes first: protection or some cockamamie nonsense that the Biden Administration was protecting Tesla?

I didn’t say you made that claim. The point was to show that the reason Biden imposed the tariffs was to assist the legacy automakers, and yet you continue to show that you don’t believe it.

Frankly, I’m surprised you have no response to the export subsidies collected by BYD. If you love tariffs, you must consider export subsidies to be like dangling a crucifix in front of a vampire. But silent on this.

The credits go to the revenue line and flow through to net income after expenses are accounted for. It’s not a big number once expenses/costs are taken into account.

Revenue for Tesla in 2024 was just under $100 billion. Credits represent a small part. No biggie.

As the company is growing, investors are more interested in sales.. until the perception is that the firm is now mature. We’re not there with Tesla.

Ok I liked her a lot but one hundred million Aussie for one statue? Sheesh.

‘Nothing is off the table’ for new £46m Queen Elizabeth II tribute statue (4 Jan)

Over two years since the nation bid farewell to Queen Elizabeth II, Britain’s longest-serving monarch, plans are afoot for a new statue to commemorate her remarkable and lasting legacy. The committee spearheading this ambitious project has declared that “nothing is off the table” in their quest to find the perfect tribute.

With a hefty £46 million budget at their disposal, the team behind the proposed St. James’ Park monument hinted that it “could include digital technology.” Baroness Amos, a member of the memorial committee and former leader of the House of Lords, shared with The Times: “We do not want to be prescriptive about this.”

Ok, yes, after this ridiculous qango is finished it’ll be a 3 foot tall painted plaster statue, as they will have run out of money.

Every EV is being subsidized. My understanding is that there’s little incentive in Australia from the government to buy an EV.

If Trump removes the credit, the legacies are done for because they don’t make money in the EV space. Tesla has the biggest operating margin in the business, so they could drop prices and take more market share. It’s actually better in the long run for Tesla.

Sales volume/revnue growth to costs, is dare I say, part of the matrix to what you look for quarter to quarter in what is considered a growth stock.

Another aspect of the grooming:

Are the Police that badly trained they weren’t aware a 12 year old CAN’T give consent?
?If that’s the case, the man in charge of the Police needs to be stripped of his rank, his pension and his nuts, locked in the Tower for a month and his remains fed to the Ravens.

Absolutely ridiculous news (the Tele):

Australia’s management have accused India of using “intimidating” tactics by aggressively swarming 19-year-old Sam Konstas.

‘Swarming’ is a completely inaccurate term for what actually occurred.

Far from moving to pull Konstas into line for sparking a war of words with Jasprit Bumrah, coach Andrew McDonald rallied behind the teenager and checked on his welfare following the explosive end to day one.

After Test legend Allan Border suggested he would be telling Konstas to rein in his on-field chirp, McDonald instead put the heat on match officials by intimating his surprise that action was not taken against the mass of Indian players who went ballistic getting in the face of the non-striker to celebrate the wicket of Usman Khawaja.

One: You cannot ‘send off’ a batsman who hasn’t been dismissed.
Two: No Indian players were ‘in his face’. They went out of their way to be far enough away from Konstas to avoid drama, and in any event Konstas himself went well out of his way to walk towards the bowler after the previous ball and deliberately aggravate him.

“My conversation to him was just around whether he’s OK. Clearly the way that India celebrated that, it was quite intimidating,” McDonald said after play on day two.

Whether he’s OK? He is an adult, and playing Test cricket. He is sufficiently talented not to be a babe in the woods, he’s gone well out of his way to rattle Indian bowlers, he’s constantly wound up the crowd for better or worse and he is most certainly not eligible to have his hand patted after it all comes back at him.

It’s also shit that team management felt the need to play that unnecessary card.

Dear Mr Konstas: You bought the ticket, now you must ride the ride.

Tesla is not only bagging government support via EVs, but through batteries and other renewable bondoggles. But sure, it’s their superior product that is the principal cause.

They are the only player is these sectors and so, yes it’s the biggest player it has the superior product. If only they were competing against the Chinese in solar panels and windmills. Now that would really mean he’s evil.

Again, I ever made that cockamamie argument, you just said I did because you couldn’t counter the central claim that Musk has been gaming the climate change boondoggle to his own benefit and in such a way that undermined ICE vehicles.

Tesla has almost no gain from those tariffs because it’s not computing in the low end segment.

It doesn’t matter why Biden did it, what matters is what the effects of closing off Chinese EVs from the US market on vehicle manufacturers in the US. I can’t imagine it doesn’t benefit the No 1 manufacturer of EVs.

What you imagine or don’t has no bearing on reality. BYD is competing at the lower end of the car market. It has much impact on Tesla sales as corolla’s on Mercedes.

No one reading this who understands the argument I’m making would be surprised by this because I have made any claims about tariffs, export subsidies per se.

Look, it’s not my preference, but I have to admit that Tesla cars are revolutionary, particularly with their embedded software. There’s real value in that.
Robots will also be a game changer.
That said, I don’t want to take away from BYD, which I believe is leading a revolution of its own by making cars that are significantly more affordable. Cars shouldn’t be so expensive, and one big reason for their high costs is the complexity of internal combustion engine (ICE) motors, which consist of around 2,500 parts. In contrast, an electric motor requires only about 26 parts. If battery technology advances to the 1000-kilometer range with very short charging times, the writing will be on the wall for ICE cars—though not all of them, of course. Sales will likely shift massively in favor of Evs.

Then, who cares if you junk a $5,000 car after 7 or so years? There’s also the possibility that robotaxis will reduce the need for car ownership, which, in terms of cost-of-living reduction, could provide immense savings for people.

It’s interesting how the comrades on the progressive left look upon ‘rape’. They’re very selective. They go all gung ho for the ‘Metoo’ movement but it seems they don’t mind or they’re willing to close their eyes wide shut when some females are subjected to rape by Muslim males. Ya see, it depends on the ethnicity, the politics or the skin colour of the females who are being raped and then those so called strong, powerful, forceful, feminist ‘Metoo’ afficionados will purse their lips and say coldly……’Youtoo’.

I’ll just preface this by saying that I refuse to call those gangs in the UK that have systemically raped white working class British girls for upward of three decades now ‘grooming‘ or ‘Asian‘. No way, Jose, because the gangs that have operated with impunity in the UK over the last three decades are rape gangs, not grooming gangs, and the ethnicity of ninety-nice percent of the members of these gangs is sub-continent, not Asian, and finally, the religion of the ninety-nine percent of these gangs is Islam

Glad to clear that up, just in case any of you were under any misconceptions.

Also, over the last three to four decades, these rape gangs have also targeted both Hindu and Sikh girls and women, which is not surprising as Islamic rape of non-Muslim girls has a long history, it goes all the way back to the founder of the death cult, Mo the Pedophile and it’s obliquely called……’love jihad‘….except there’s not a lot of love involved, Muslim males particularly like anally raping kuffar women! Both the Sikh and Hindu communities in the UK have no illusions about what they are dealing with, and the Sikh community, in the late noughties, took matters into their own hands after local police refused to deal with the situation.

In the UK the progressive left have no problems with Muslim males raping vulnerable white working class English girls, no problems at all, because those girls are the bottom of the societal ladder, but interestingly, the modern progressive left have no problems with Muslims raping Jewish females, both girls and women, as we saw on October 7 2023. I suspect that if Jewish girls in the UK were attacked, the silence would continue.

By the way, back in May 2021, when Israel had to go into Gaza, convoys of subcontinental Muslim males drove through London’s Jewish suburbs with loudspeakers screaming ‘we’re coming to rape your mothers and daughters’. It wasn’t a veiled threat, it was a very direct threat yet nobody was arrested and nobody was ever convicted. Muslim males have free rein to do what they want across the UK. As for dimwits who say that those Paki and Bengali Muslim males were just engaging in hyperbole, as if that absolves them, given the events of October 7 2023 and given the decades of systemic rape of white working glass English girls across England’s numerous towns and cities, I am going to believe them.

I watched Douglas Murray’s Spectator piece. As always Murray is superb, he doesn’t mince words but as I wrote in an earlier comment, the UK now stinks and I’m not sure anything can now get rid of that stink.

Douglas Murray on grooming gangs, Tommy Robinson and what’s wrong with Britain

In the Spectator’s “Douglas Murray on Grooming Gangs, Tommy Robinson, and What’s Wrong with Britain,” Douglas Murray discusses the long-standing issue of grooming gangs in the UK, highlighting the systemic failure to address the problem. He argues that this issue, particularly prevalent in Northern towns, involves predominantly Muslim men targeting young girls, and has been suppressed by authorities due to fears of racial tensions. Murray criticizes British media and political leaders for deflecting responsibility, focusing instead on figures like Tommy Robinson, who, despite his controversial methods, brought attention to the issue. He suggests that foreign voices, like Elon Musk and American commentators, spotlighting the scandal may be necessary to force action, as domestic attempts to address it were often sidelined due to fears of fueling far-right narratives. Murray emphasizes that British authorities have historically prioritized avoiding controversy over justice, contributing to a culture where expressing legitimate concerns is stigmatized. He calls for a reassessment of political and social priorities to focus on justice and integrity rather than political expedience, urging the UK to reclaim pride in its cultural heritage and address societal issues head-on.

The British Authorities, by prioritising a justice system that is failing the marginalised, over controversy, is contributing to the social upheaval they claim to want to avoid.
The British system is equivalent to the sheepdog who has made common cause with the wolf so it can have an easy life, while it is nipping at the heels of the sheep who are protesting at the depredation of the flock.

The assumption in this piece is that the view of the nature of the narratives fueled is the correct view. Is it AI? AI would have no way of noticing the underlying assumptions that it is fed.

Wouldn’t the price range in the US be comparable to Australia? Yes, yes it would, so the argument that they involve entirely different market segments is nonsense.

What’s nonsense is your nonsense

Here’s the fcking price range for Tesla’s sold in Australia

As of May 2024, the prices of Tesla models in Australia are: 

Model 3 Rear-Wheel Drive: $54,900, down $4,000

Model 3 Long Range AWD: $64,900, down $3,000

Model 3 Performance AWD: $80,900, unchanged

Model Y Rear-Wheel Drive: $55,900, down $5,000

Model Y Long Range AWD: $69,900, unchanged

Model Y Performance AWD: $82,900, unchanged

The cheapest model is $55,000. BYD is around $37,000

Now compare the two start models of both makers.

Dolphin: A hatchback with a starting price of $36,890 for the 2023 model.

Model 3 Rear-Wheel Drive:

Yea same cars in the exact same segment.

By the way, you said you like BYD. If you buy one avoid side on collisions because the door support is thinner than rice paper.

A nasty little chart.

One of my low-probability but plausible surprise predictions for 2025 was that there will be a political crisis in Chicago, and perhaps the whole state of Illinois, on account of the radically deteriorating condition of the city under its radical mayor Brandon Johnson, whose public approval rating is somewhere down in the low teens. Our friends at the Illinois Policy Institute show one of the greatest sources of fiscal ruin in Chicago, but this also applies to Illinois as a whole, as both jurisdictions have become wholly-own subsidiaries of public employee unions:

“Come and meet the parents” was a common line. Get to the house and there’s a note on the kitchen table – in Arabic – boy translates it to be “Mum and Dad out shopping – back at 4.”
Then the cars start arriving, arriving with lots of Lebanese men and alcohol while the 14 year old is patiently told that yes, there’s going to be a party, and she’s the entertainment.
That particular scenario played out multiple times, along with the explanation that it was happening because “she was a White Anglo Christian Slut.”

Yes, the Grooming Gangs Were Pakistani
How the media lies about the worst scandals in British history

The coverup of the racial nature of this crime has been twofold. First, British authorities including social workers and police avoided prosecuting the matter because they feared it would inflame racial tensions were it revealed that Pakistani gangs were targeting White British girls. Second, since the scandal has come to light, establishment media has tried to downplay the overwhelming overrepresentation of Pakistanis and claim grooming gangs are primarily a White phenomenon.

So much Palliwood stuff gets shown to gee up the protest troops here in the UK. Hamas is never named nor slated, the vision is never queried, and the IDF are always blamed for whatever ‘terror porn’ is being pushed. No wonder the people are incensed and baying for Israeli blood, this is sheer propaganda, Goebbels would be proud, as it’s happening at a societal level that works just as it did in Germany in 1938. Worse than in Australia, I think, even though Oz uses some feeds from the UK.

I’m calling bullshit on this. The root cause of rayp gangs is that moslem numbers were allowed to become so big that they held the power and influence in local councils, local Govt and therefore in Parliament. Grubby corrupt political actors at all levels, aided by cowardly police jointly chose to back away, take the easy road and do nothing, covering each others arses along the way. Just for the vote. That’s the squalid motivator. Brought about by UNiparty immigration policy overs decades.

Bottom line, moslem numbers became too big. So big they have been able to call the shots all across the UK thoughout all levels of Govt. Unless there is mass deportations, Great Britain is done for. Demograhics is destiny. We here are on the same path if we do not change our immigration policies. We need a referendum.

Not the model you showed. It looks inferior and internals such as the software is way below Tesla’s.

BREAKING NEWS: TOMMY ROBINSON SPEAKS FROM PRISON [FULL AUDIO]

In the audio message from prison, Tommy Robinson expresses his frustration with being held in solitary confinement for an extended period, which he argues is detrimental to his mental health. He claims that his imprisonment results from political motives, particularly due to a film he made criticizing the judiciary and exposing alleged corruption. Robinson contends that he should be in an open prison as a civil offender but is instead in a maximum-security facility, which he deems unjust. He argues that his treatment amounts to mental torture and accuses the government of attempting to break him mentally. Furthermore, he discusses feeling targeted by the government through financial penalties and the use of terrorism legislation to confiscate his phone, asserting that the true intention is to suppress his ability to expose further corruption. Robinson insists that despite the efforts to silence him, the truth will prevail, and he emphasizes the importance of free speech and standing up against injustice.

Book review of Paul Sheehan’s book “Girls Like You.” Health warning – some of it makes rather disturbing reading.

If women in Western countries don’t want to be savagely raped, then why don’t they just stay home, veiled, away from the presence of men?

This was the reasoning of the ‘K’ brothers, Muslim male migrants to Sydney whose defence Counsel proffered this ‘cultural timebomb’ defense to explain and excuse their savage gangrapes of numbers of women in Sydney.

The ‘K’ brothers argued that because they were Muslims who grew up in a Muslim society, they didn’t know that a woman has a right to say ‘no’ if she ‘provokes’ men to harm her, such as by standing on a street without a male bodyguard at all times (mehram, a male relative, as is required by Muslim custom). When women don’t do this, they invite an attack and have only themselves to blame.

This is the first theme of ‘Girls Like You’, another piece of the Sydney story were police have warned non-Muslim women not to walk in Muslim-populated suburbs because of the higher likelihood of being raped by Muslim youths who consider unveiled women ‘whores’ who are thereby luring men to rape them. The failure of multiculturalism where one culture condones rape and abuse of women for ‘transcending bounds’ of decency while living in a sexually-liberated feminist society is one familiar narrative through the whole Western world today. Most reported rapes in Norway and Sweden are committed by non-Europeans, and it is little surprise which part of the world the rapists overwhelmingly come from.

The rapists claimed all their trials were ‘Islamophobic’ conspiracies, despite overwhelming evidence that these rapes occured, including a video of an unreported rape by a 14-year old member of the family filmed by his brother with his entire fist in an unconscious girl’s vagina. His father, a Pakistani-trained doctor, joked that he’d make a good gynaecologist. The delusional vanity and denial of such people is a common theme among Muslim societies worldwide.

The ‘K’ brothers wasted over $3 million in taxpayer money by sabotaging a weak, byzantine legal system from start to finish. But worse were the harrowing experience they put their victims through, by harassing the rape victims in court both personally and through government-provided legal aid.

Going to be hard to invent reasons to select Hazlewood in front of him now

Marsh was only in the team because Cameron Green is out for the season. What Mr Green may find is that Webster may have concreted himself into a spot he can’t be dug out of, especially if he tours Sri Lanka next month.

Green may well have to wait for up to four years now (he’s in his mid-20s) while Webster (31) gets a run as the giant all-rounder for a while.

Boland, to my mind, cannot be unselected now. Every single time he comes in to the team (mostly to replace an injured Hazlewood) he has kicked arse to an A Grade standard, and did so again this time around.

Josh, mate, buddy. Time to go. One way or the other.

Our medical costs ARE preventable

He has a point but proving the causation is almost if not impossible. Autoimmunity, cancer, CVD, and diabetes rates are rising and worryingly at younger ages. That has been happening for nearly 50 years. Obesity can drive many of those conditions because obesity drives inflammation. Have a look at some 1940-60 footage, lean and mean. Everyone complains about Big Pharma(but relies on doctors to cure them) but few recognize a far bigger problem with modern food manufacturing.

Ten officers will move from Adelaide to assist colleagues in Alice Springs from Monday.

This will allow NT officers to return to the Top End for Operation Oxley, which is aiming for a more visible police presence.

Getting on top of the lawlessness is the first step in returning civility, as Giuliani did with his broken windows policing strategy. The Dems have of course now undone all that unfortunately.

The whole “We’ve got to keep the Paki/Mooslime rapes of girls from the white working class, and Sikh and Hindu families quiet for the sake of community harmony” story is, and always was, farcical.

The girls knew, their families knew, their friends and their friends’ families knew, and all could see the authorities protecting the perpetrators. How can that contribute to “community harmony”?

The cover up caused more inter-communal hatred and distrust than would have been caused by swift justice, administered fairly.

The police, social workers, local and national bureaucrats and politicians who enabled and continued the cover up deserve to have their lives and the lives of their families destroyed.

Not sure what O’Neil is getting at with his comments about Musk.

“Cack handed”? I don’t think so. Musk has opened a nasty can of worms that many…many people hoped would just fade away. The principle is the same the world over – politicians and law enforcement minimising or ignoring harm in deference to the new and shiny tin god – Social Cohesion.

We see it on our streets every single week.

Australia had its own brush with rape gangs. No doubt the same is happening in many other countries, including the States. Perhaps Musk, by stirring up Britain’s dirtiest well known “secret”, will help focus the gaze on similar crimes and coverups back home.

I’m just glad he has all the cockroaches scuttling for cover. Again. And it may just be that the idol of “cohesion at any cost” will be toppled from its undeserved pedestal.

Just further to those Sydney gang wapes back in the early noughties, I remember them well and I particularly remember the court case. The victims of those wapes were also working class white females, from Sydney’s western suburbs. That successful prosecution was led by a fearless and talented woman by the name of Margaret Cunneen. Cunneen was then Deputy Senior Crown Prosecutor in the NSW Office of the DPP.

However, Cunneen’s fearlessness in prosecuting Bilal Skaf and his merry band of muslim wapists made Cunneen a prime target of the chattering left and so, over the last 20 years and more, media scum at the SMH and ABC along with various leftist progressive commentators here in NSW have tried to destroy Cunneen, most infamously with the ICAC attack on her.

Cunneen is not some delicate fragile petal, she is not a woman for turning and she fought back against ICAC.

The attacks on Cunneen are political and go back to her successful prosecution of Skaf. I know this, because I’ve talked to her about it.

Ya see the progressive left, despite their sanctimonious ‘metoo’ protestations, don’t actually mind a bit of wape-wape, it just depends on who is perpetrating the wape-wape and who the victims of the wape-wape are. So, if the victims are a demographic the left don’t much like or care for, such as Israeli Jewish woman, Sikh and Hindu women, and white working class English and Australian girls, then the left don’t and won’t just ignore the wape-wapes, they’ll stand at the carousel entrance and shout…’roll up, roll up for some wape-wape’.

The left aren’t just hypocritical, they are verminous enablers of wape, they operate as a Praetorian Guard for Muslim wapists.

Finally, the bottom line, one that most of us here know, is that wape is a tool of jihad, used since Mo the Raving Peterfile founded his death cult.

‘World’s wildest car festival’: $50,000 up for grabs in burnout competition at Summernats car festival in Canberra (4 Jan)

Thousands of car enthusiasts have flocked to the nation’s capital to feast their eyes on elite cars worth more than $70m at “the world’s wildest car festival”.

About 130,000 people are expected to attend the Street Machine Summernats 37 car festival at Exhibition Park in Canberra over the weekend, with the event kicking off on January 2 and wrapping up on January 5.

The problem in the UK is the class system, it’s a prism which effects everything. But this prism of class is actually worse than it was 50 or 100 years ago because now this class system is controlled by a very toxic and elitist progressivism which makes the old aristocracy look positively benign. It’s now called the UK establishment and defined by being far-left, Jew hating and pro-Islamist.

To his credit, Brendan O’Neill has long called out the wape gangs in Spiked, as has the likes of feminist Julie Bindel, Douglas Murray and others but when it comes to Tommy Robinson they all recoil in ‘quelle horreur’ although Douglas Murray understands why Robinson has mass support, hence his somewhat measured praise of Robinson. Robinson is popular because the MSM and the UK establishment have failed to do their job.

By the way, and it only popped up on my Youtube feed a few weeks ago, back in 2012 the BBC commissioned a lass from Luton by the name of Stacey Dooley to investigate the Islamisation of the town of Luton. It’s called……’My Hometown Fanatics: Stacey Dooley Investigates‘ and it’s a look at Luton which back in 2012 was a nest of Islamist terror…and it’s only gotten worse. Stacey Dooley grew up with Robinson (real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon) in Luton, they’ve known each other since they were children, both Robinson and Dooley are white, indigenous working class and have watched their town become captured by Islamists.

Interestingly, the BBC quietly buried the Dooley documentary. There’s no way the BBC in 2024 or 2025 would produce a similar documentary, no way in the world. The corporation is now fully captured by the woke far-left and the woke far-left are now fully allied with the Islamists and they are certainly very content to shrug their shoulders at the mass gang rapes of white working class girls.

The MD of the holding company was Lord of the Realm. He spoke to us foreign plebs completely different to the English plebs. We spoke to him as the boss but equal and he responded in kind. He came fishing with us in the weekend. Much to the consternation of the local MD. He was given equipment to use and responded with bottles of malt.

Ah well thems the breaks. Daily Telegraph:

A bystander who was knocked to the ground by police during a violent “Invasion Day” rally has been stripped of her $800,000 compensation payment in a case that divided judges in the state’s highest civil court.

Irish national Laura Cullen was seriously injured on January 26, 2017, when she was knocked over by a leading senior constable as he attempted to arrest a protester in the crowd, who was later identified as left-wing activist and former Greens employee Hayden Williams.

Ms Cullen developed retrograde amnesia after her head struck the ground, leaving her with no memory of the incident.

She successfully sued the state for negligence, and in 2023 was awarded $800,000 in damages, plus legal costs, after a Supreme Court judge found the officer involved had breached his duty of care.

However, the Court of Appeal overturned the decision in December, stripping Ms Cullen of the payout, (payment of which was stayed when the appeal was lodged) and ordering her to repay $103,000 in legal costs to the state.

According to court documents, the estimated 5000-strong crowd was marching along Broadway in protest of Australia Day when police saw one of the demonstrators, Birrugan Dunn-Velasco, draw a group of people around him and prepare to light an Australian flag on fire.

Specialist officers pushed through the crowd and deployed a fire extinguisher before any flame could ignite.

The court heard Williams saw a female police officer filming the unfolding incident with a handheld camera and struck her on the arm, knocking the camera out of her hand.

Leading Senior Constable Damian Livermore witnessed Williams’ actions and attempted to arrest him.

The pair got into a scuffle and both tumbled to the ground, knocking over Ms Cullen as they fell.

Williams was charged with assaulting a police officer and later found guilty at a criminal hearing. He was released on a good behaviour bond without conviction.

Ms Cullen’s civil case against the state centred on claims the specialist officers and Const Livermore had been negligent in their actions that day and breached their duty of care towards her as a rally spectator.

Acting Justice Michael Elkaim ruled in favour of Ms Cullen following a week-long trial in the NSW Supreme Court, finding the police intervention in the fire incident was “reckless and out of proportion” to the danger posed.

He said their actions had caused a “domino effect” that culminated in Ms Cullen being injured and awarded her $800,000 in damages, plus legal costs.

Lawyers for the state appealed the judgment but the case divided the Court of Appeal, with the three-judge panel split on its final decision to overturn Justice Elkaim’s orders and the hefty compensation payment to Ms Cullen.

In a majority decision, the court concluded Justice Elkaim had been wrong in finding the specialist officers and Const Livermore had breached their duty of care towards Ms Cullen.

They found Const Livermore was “undertaking a lawful arrest” of Williams at the time, and was “entitled to use such force as was reasonably necessary to make the arrest”.

“It was not argued that he could or should have tried to check around him as he was wrestling with Williams to ensure he was not about to bump into anyone,” the published CCA judgment read.

“We consider Const Livermore, in lawfully exercising his power to arrest Williams, could not possibly have prevented the impact with (Ms Cullen) by the exercise of ordinary care and caution — his actions were utterly without fault.”

As part of the appeal decision, Ms Cullen was ordered to return $103,000 in legal costs already paid to her. She will also be required to pay the state’s legal fees for the Court of Appeal hearing.

Greens arsehole.

Yep, the class (now establishment and bourgeoisie) structure continues to ruin Britain. Farage’s “that lot” comment disqualifies him in my mind for any serious leadership role. He is just another mindless class snob.

I saw a comment a few weeks ago in an article about the London blitz that defined the class structure then and echoes to the present. “When East Londoners were nearly starving and wearing flour sack underwear, the upper classes were importing fine cloth for officers’ uniforms and dining in fine restaurants ex-rationing”. Substitute removing heating subsidies for pensioners and nothing has changed.

Federal election 2025: $2m grudge match in Curtin sees teal and Liberal coffers overflow with cashJoe SpagnoloThe West Australian
Sun, 5 January 2025 2:00AM

With the Climate 200-backed Kate Chaney expected to spend at least $1 million defending her seat in 2025, Liberal candidate for Curtin, Tom White, has revealed he too is building a massive war chest to take her on. Credit: Daniel Wilkins;Kelsey Reid

Liberals have vowed to “fight fire with fire”, as the battle for the crucial seat of Curtin in this year’s Federal election turns into a multimillion-dollar shootout.
With the Climate 200-backed Kate Chaney expected to spend at least $1 million defending her seat in 2025, Liberal candidate for Curtin, Tom White, has revealed he too is building a massive war chest to take her on.
In an exclusive interview with The Sunday Times, Mr White all but admitted the Liberals would at least match Ms Chaney’s expected $1m plus spend in Curtin, held with a 1.3 per cent margin.
Sources say the fight for Curtin — billed as a grudge match between the Teals and the Liberals — is likely to be a $2.5m contest in what would be the biggest spend ever seen for any WA electorate at either a Federal or State election.
Asked if speculation the Liberals would be throwing $1m at Curtin were accurate, Mr White told The Sunday Times: “I’m not going to put a precise number on it, but that would not be a ridiculous statement to make.
“I am not going to dispute that number.

Piers Akerman is back:

Anthony Albanese reckons he’s been underestimated his whole political life.

He’s wrong.

This whingeing mistake of an arrogant prime minister grossly over-estimates himself. He’s a failure.

This holiday period has been the quietest in Australia since World War II when the war dampened celebrations.

Small businesses are going under in record numbers, families are watching every dollar.

Albanese took time out as 2024 drew to an close to tell reporters he’s been underestimated but was “focused on making a difference for cost of living, making a difference for plans that we have going forward”.

Clearly that focus is blurred.

The cost of living is soaring, largely because of Albanese’s support for the truly insane Net Zero targets.

The obscene cost of this farcical obsession with so-called clean wind and solar energy is the biggest single driver of inflation in the economy and it’s crippling the nation.

The wind doesn’t blow 24/7 and neither does the sun shine, and both of these energy sources need tens of thousands of kilometres of new transmission lines to connect them to batteries or pumped hydro facilities where they can be stored to deliver minimal back-up when needed.

Neither can provide the essential base-load power necessary to underpin and maintain the security of the grid.

Electricity inflation caused by this excessive investment is running at 16.5 per cent year on year and they claim the solution is to spend more.

This is as insane as Labor’s attempts to boost the economy by increasing immigrant numbers when the nation is suffering from a chronic housing shortage.

Not skilled immigrants, either, but members of minorities whose culture is at odds with Australian values.

The lunatic Left responsible for the Albanese government’s policies doesn’t see this as a problem.

It sees the Western canon of Judaeo-Christian ethics, the rule of law, as the issue and is working through the public service, the educational institutions, and the corporate giants to diminish the civil legacy enshrined in the Constitution.

The judiciary has started inventing laws that rely on the vibe, not on our elected parliamentarians.

Opposition Leader Peter Dutton’s New Year message was plain: Let’s get our country back on track.

Easier said than done but it’s a more positive goal than Albanese’s more of the same but worse.

Dutton must dump Labor’s unachievable and catastrophically punitive Net Zero targets. There is no climate crisis, as any student of historical meteorological records will confirm. We have weather, we have always had weather, and weather changes in cycles.

Restore reliable dispatchable power, backed up by nuclear which is the cleanest and safest energy source.

International fence building is needed to repair the damage that Foreign Minister Penny Wong’s student grasp of politics has wrought.

Jumping into bed with the UN’s support for terrorist-infiltrated organisations like UNRWA has been one of the most repugnant examples of her ill-judged decisions. Until the Palestinians (aided and abetted by the UN’s dedicated refugee agency, UNRWA) halt the indoctrination of kindergarten kids, the endless, senseless violence will never end.

Israel has every right to exist under every law known to man, and Israelis have every right to protect their population

Last year, I was among those who visited that country to see with my own eyes the horrendous evidence of unchecked barbarity, rape and torture.

To my utter disgust, Albanese and Wong have promoted the absurd idea that there is an equivalence between Hamas and the Israeli forces.

In all of Australia’s dealings, none is more shameful than this selling out of a trusted, reliable ally to win the votes from a bloc of extremist Muslims whose actions have demonstrated they are opposed to the Western ideal of law and order.

Islamist terrorism is again active in the US and Europe; no action has been taken against hate speech here.

And Albanese believes he’s been underestimated.

Tell him he’s dreaming.

Sort of ties in with Starmer. Power at any cost.
Have the baseball bats ready come election day.

Early morning coffee, and reading John Edwards’s biography of John Curtin.

Most Australians know, how in 1942, Curtin was looking to America as Australia protector. Edwards points out that, by 1944, Curtin was advocating that Australia base it’s post war foreign policy on a refreshed British Empire, and the British restore the naval base at Singapore, and place a fleet there for Australia’s protection. In the meantime, Australia might well reassign it’s troops from MacArthur’s command to Mountbatten’s, and reengage in a war in Asia to reconquer the British colonies of Burma, Malaya and Singapore.

Behind the UK establishment’s betrayal of it’s young girls and their families is the deviant leftist philosophy that it’s actually ok to engage in s3xual relations with minors. The current deviants in power have form dating back decades supporting this sick perversion. Trying incessantly to get the legal settings “right”. P3dophelia is just a condition, not a crime is the evil logic. Some MP’s and Labour figures are on record as stating that the young girls must have asked for it, that kids as young as 11 and 12 “gave consent”. What’s the problem here? Who can blame the moslem gangs? And their moslem constituents, to whom they owe their lifestyle in luxury and loot, well their age of consent is around 11 or 12. They marry their girls off at 9 ffs. This is the “New UK”, so go along to get along.

Well if they actually taught the basics maybe there’d be a justification. But right now a lot of kids coming out of high school are unable to read or do arithmetic.

In 2025 and beyond, schools need to teach more than just ‘the basics’ (Phys.org, 4 Jan)

Another frequently noted non-cognitive skill includes social-emotional learning or what is sometimes referred to as emotional intelligence. The latter allows students to self-regulate and ultimately become more resilient in the face of adversity and changing times.

Clearly, there is an urgent need to embrace, in concrete terms, the dualities of cognitive and non-cognitive skills within our schools. Sometimes being two-faced can be a good thing.

Two faced academics teaching propaganda, mysticism and stupid psycho stuff to kids. Here’s who they are:

Louis Volante – Distinguished Professor, Faculty of Education, Brock University

Don A. Klinger – Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Education, Murdoch University; Professor of Measurement, Assessment and Evaluation, Murdoch University

Joe Barrett – Associate Professor — School Health Policy & Health and Physical Education Pedagogy, Brock University

Got to love it when Aussie drones hook up with Canuck drones.

Establishment Crumbling: Labour Voters Flock to Farage’s Reform UK over Mass Migration, Mega Poll Finds (4 Jan)

The left-wing Labour Party government in Britain is “haemorrhaging” voters to Nigel Farage’s Reform UK over the issue of mass migration, a “mega-poll” has found.

According to a seat-by-seat analysis conducted by the Stonehaven political strategy firm, Reform UK would surge to 120 seats if the election were held today after just sending five MPs to Westminster in the general election in July.

Unfortunately the next election is over four years away, so Labour has a real chance of turning the UK into Somalia.

Correct, the Tories, from Cameron to May to Blob to Truss to Sunak are all responsible for the gift of Sturmer and Labour. In 14 years, from 2010 to 2014, none of Blair/Brown’s catastrophic policies and laws were repealed. Not one.

But my particular contempt, loathing and disdain is for Blob Johnson, who won a massive majority in 2019 only to squander it. Whilst I never much cared for milquetoast David Cameron, it’s worth remembering that when he won government in 2010 he had to form a Coalition with Nick Clegg and the Liberal Democrats. Cameron won a majority in 2015, agreed to the Brexit vote, and he then did the right and honourable thing by stepping down in 2016 after the UK voted to leave the EU.

Fourteen years of Tory government and nothing to show for it, oh okay, the UK has kinda left the European Union but they’re still tied to various European courts and conventions. Under Blob, immigration was ramped up to steroidal levels, even during the Covid years. Whilst ordinary Brits were locked up, schools were closed and people’s lives destroyed, Blob partied with his shallow wife and hundreds of thousands of unsavoury people arrived in the country.

But Blob’s sins are nothing compared to the creepy sinister Stalinist adulterer, Two Tier Kier Sturmer. Prior to the July general election, Peter Hitchens, an oracle like his later brother (just more dour than Christopher) warned everyone that Sturmer is much more dangerous than Jeremy Corbyn. People think they dodged a bullet with Corbyn but they’ve been gifted something far more dangerous and sinister in Kier Sturmer.

With the latest revelations, do I see GB fracturing along class lines?
Because it looks like Farage is drifting into his natural side – the rulers. Saying that Tommy Robinson doesn’t ‘fit’ into his view of where Reform needs to go.
The next week is going to be very interesting – especially if the million woman march takes off.

How is that neither Theresa May nor Suella Braverman, both female home secretaries (May later a PM) choose not to green light an inquiry into the mass rape of young girls? The Boris Johnson government was voted in with a massive majority.

Theresa May was too busy persecuting Tommy Robinson. Is she did anything about the raped girls then she would have had to admit that Tommy Robinson was right.

Because they don’t give a damn about the masses. They are only interested in their Ruling Classes.

Starmer is MORE EXTREME than Corbyn. The Right Don’t Understand the Battle They Are Losing

The video discusses the perceived ideological shift in British politics, arguing that Keir Starmer’s Labour Party is more radical than that of Jeremy Corbyn. Peter Hitchens highlights how former liberal policies have reshaped Britain and critiques both the current Conservative and Labour parties for their failings in governance and opposition, respectively. Hitchens emphasizes the influence of ideologically driven agenda from the left, suggesting that political focus has shifted from classical conservative values and created a disconnect from the electorate. The discussion touches on issues like the politicization of police, the erosion of traditional British justice, and the implications of recent immigration trends. He argues that conservative forces have inadequately addressed the ideological transformations stemming from Blair-era reforms. Hitchens concludes that there is a lack of a true conservative opposition, and expresses a broader disillusionment with current political structures and dynamics, while also turning his focus more towards spiritual and eternal matters in his personal reflections.

Khawaja gorn for 41. 4/104, with 58 to get.

Great Prediction:

It would not surprise me one little bit if Khawaja retires now, from Test cricket at least. Next up for Straya is Sri Lanka in Sri Lanka, where the 38 year old averages only 28 – so only further pain awaits him there.

Starmer’s government is ‘incompetent’ | Peter Hitchens

The video discusses criticism directed at Keir Starmer and the Labour government for their handling of grooming gangs in the UK. The public and media have accused them of failing to protect children from these criminal activities, with some suggesting that Labour protected these gangs to secure votes. The video highlights a clip of Starmer, who was the Director of Public Prosecutions at the time, being questioned about the failure of the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) in handling grooming cases. Starmer explains that traditional tests for witness credibility and reliability used in such cases were not suitable for grooming victims, often producing incorrect assessments. He emphasizes that the issue was not only with the CPS but also involved the police and courts. The video suggests that Starmer’s approach and that of the Labour government reflect inadequacies in addressing public concerns, sparking debate on whether he should resign as Prime Minister.

Who might have thought that a former immigration lawyer might be suspected of applying inappropriate rules or using the law in ways it was never intended to get the outcomes he prefers rather than protecting the local community?

Starmer & co are not incompetent.
They are doing exactly what they want.

Greenwald & Hersh have written about Starmer being surrounded by CIA & CIA adjacent people ever since his uni days.

The Grayzone (who are hard to read or listen to now considering they are all in on Hamas) has been calling Starmer a full blow CIA plant ever since he became the opposition leader.

Don’t tell the Indians, but it’s clear they respect only captains that are picked on merit. Had Bumrah captained the whole tour, the result may have been different. They fell apart when Kohli was properly in charge.

What history has shown and what for example Russia knows all too well, the only way to manage a minority islamic population is with an IRON FIST

Wouldn’t it be ironic if Orthodox Russia and Catholic Poland and Hungary had to save the Godless Western Europe from their Muslim conquerors? The very same Western Europe that sneers at any Christians while sacrificing working class underage girls to their occupiers?

It’s almost like our elites admire savagery, the worse the better. Perhaps the eastern rescuers will have to first save Western Europeans from their elites.

Russia has its own problems in this area, with 9% of the population now Muslim.

Russia fears the weakness of the West – mainly because it fears a resurgent enemy on its borders with an arsenal of a thousand or so nukes and a Muslim government.

How is that neither Theresa May nor Suella Braverman, both female home secretaries (May later a PM) choose not to green light an inquiry into the mass rape of young girls?

May commissioned an inquiry into child sexual abuse in the mid-teens. The report was delivered in 2022 & Braverman gave the official response which promised to implement all recommendations.

None have since been acted upon.

But the TOR of that inquiry were very broad – including the Anglican & RC churches and other institutions – and it didn’t focus exclusively on the grooming gangs, which is what Oldham council requested mid-year.
