One thing that seems to be ignored in the Starmer/Rapist imbroglio is the role of local government in the UK.
There are about 300 local authorities (LGA’s) in the UK. They differ significantly from the Australian versions in that, besides local roads, garbage, libraries, and mowing – many UK LGA’s manage a host of other government-funded services: education, public housing (a big deal in the UK), ‘community relations’, direct grants (new mosque, new sports centre, etc), and importantly, social services (particularly – in context – child welfare, including family placements).
For Labour, LGA’s are critical political assets; local pork delivery in support of the national parliamentary vote – particularly in the rape-prone industrial cities.
The LGA social services were heavily criticised after the 1981 race riots and reacted enthusiastically to the Scarman recommendation that “positive discrimination” was a necessity to keep the peace – and have spent the past 40 years social-working Marxist woke to an extent you might not believe.
There is no chance on God’s Earth that the Labour machine is ever going to support an inquiry that would lead to daylight being shone into those dark corners.
Bit odd seeing the canned laughter at the Djokovic charity match in Melb tonight.
Just saw a report: 90% of fires in LA are caused by homeless bums.
Sounds like a reprise of the Sodom story upthread.
The Tories have got rocks in their head if they think that a long campaign for a longwinded enquiry about events which happened, in political relative terms, a long time ago, which the government will only be obliged to respond to a long time in the future – is a good strategy for either their party or the poor abused girls.
If it were me, I’d just go ballistic right now, about the here and now.
“Mr Sir Keir Starmer PM, because of your appalling weakness and capitulation, how many child sex offenders are free on the streets of Britain right now?”
“As Labour leader, after decades promoting mas immigration, colonial guilt and elevating Islamists to the status of an untouchable and vengeful ruling class, how many apologists, collaborators and disseminators of child sexual abuse are in positions of power whithin town councils and police forces right now?”
“Mr PM, do you not think that your totalitarian policies about reportage and social media content will doubtlessly be adding to the entitlement, protection and deflection of child sexual abusers in British towns and cities right now?”
Wally this is the same as governments telling us they are spending billions over the next 5 years on something that needs doing yesterday. Gives the impression of doing something when in fact the money is not divided equally and may never be spent. The bestarreds never tell you what they’re doing or have done only what they’re gunna do.
Anthony Albanese has given an iron-clad guarantee no new mining tax will be introduced if he wins the Federal election and ruled out a minority government deal with the Greens as he vies to secure crucial resources states.
In a sit-down interview with The West Australian as he flew from Kununurra to Perth on Thursday, the Prime Minister vowed he’s in WA to win it — declaring the Liberal-held seats of Durack, Canning and Moore, and the new seat of Bullwinkel, in play.
Without any surprise gains, holding the four WA seats Labor gained in 2022 — Tangney, Swan, Hasluck and Pearce — could make the difference between majority government, minority government or defeat in a looming federal election.
But Mr Albanese told The West he’s aiming for a majority and will not sign an agreement with crossbenchers if he falls short.
What part of the words “Pig’s arze, he won’t, ” do readers have difficulty in understanding?

There doesn’t appear to be any formal meeting with Rudd and the incoming admin people let alone Trump.
Rudd, isn’t just on hols I think. I suspect he received no invite to the inauguration and is now pretending he’s just on vacation and can’t make it.
You can bet London to a brick JC that Rudd indeed will be on the outside looking in as the Orange Man is inaugurated.
Then told to leave the country, which is an excellent turn of events.
This is going to be hilarious to watch, BB. I’ve maintained that they’ve frozen him out so as to get rid of the imbecile.

Question (prompted by Castro’s son’s resignation in great sadness):
Does each successive generation of leftist shitbags upon leaving power in the aftermath of wrecking, once again, f*cking absolutely everything, look back on their ascension to power and see a naive and silly person who just didn’t know the damage they were about to do, OR do they look back on a person who full well knew what they were about to do, which was precisely what the previous generation of shitbag, degenerate leftists did, and their only regret is they couldn’t have the time to complete the destruction?
Castro’s blackface son was only there through Family/Swamp connection, yeah? Just like Dubya Bush was back in the day, yeah?
Do you actually think either of Justin Trudeau or George W Bush were “calling the shots”?

If you have a wider interest in topics the interwebs offer, then you will find that the answer is a resounding YES.
Even after years of some communist hellholes had changed regime, many of the surviving old guard are praying for the old system to come back, claiming, if we had more time.
Full employment, whether the job was worth doing or not.
Planned economy, years behind customer demand and one branch making profits supporting the loss making ones.
Total social support from cradle to grave, just like the NHS, you’d find the grave sooner than a bed in the hospital.
All forgotten, just remember the vibe.

Rockdoctor, in nested comments on the previous page, responding to Frollickingmole:
Starting to become difficult to draw any conclusion other than “Turnbullian” or “Morrison-lite”
Or even “Abbott-ish”. He’s confirmed some temporary appointments that were made by Palasczcuk – ones even Miles wouldn’t confirm.
This gels with his initial automatic agreement with Palaszczuk re “treaties” & the like, that was reversed only after brutal phone calls from party members to branches & sitting MPs.
Spooked by the spectre of Campbell Newman, he is pussyfooting carefully around the Public Service.
This is playing out with a public service that far from being scared of him, is emboldened into even worse excess than under Labor.
My home town of Christchurch never returned to normal after the earthquake.
A good portion of people left and never returned.

I could be wrong, but I think this is bigger than many assume.

Sorry about Christchurch. You can’t safeguard against earthquakes.
Check out “old-style” Japanese building engineering.
Very large wooden, multi-storey buildings, assembled from carefully –interlocked logs and occasional wooden pegs. Bigger structures (“castles”) with footing walls of fairly precise masonry, supporting substantial “ornate log cabins” of spectacular size..
A lot of the old “domestic” architecture is quite lightly, but elegantly constructed sliding doors and window screens And, they BURN really well but are “easily” replaced.
Structures subject to Tsunami impact are A BIT TRICKY, especially seeing how far inland these events can reach. and the debris carried by the waves is what does the bulk of the structural damage.

Huge poll victory for Nigel Farage as Reform UK comes joint top for first time (9 Jan)
Which proves it can be done, although Reform is in a much better situation with the UK’s first past the post system than minor parties are here.
At 25% they are no longer a minor party. However, none of this means a thing unless they get seats in parliament which will not happen for another four and a half years. Reform could even be tops in the polls in the next few years yet Labour will destroy the country without any recourse. King Charles will not lift a finger to help the people.
In theory there are council elections in May. But Starmer is talking about cancelling them. Got to destroy democracy in order to save it, or something.
Cancel them on what grounds?
He doesn’t need grounds if he has power over the next 4 and half years and voters have short memories.
Reform at the last election did better in ‘Traditional’ Labour seats than the Tories. I can see Reform winning many seats ‘Up North’ but not so well ‘Down South’.
BBC is on an anti-Musk binge, keeps referring to him as “world’s richest man” and an associate of “far right extremist AfD” in Germany.
Who is anti-democracy now? AfD are winning votes. And why does the media never refer to “extreme left” in politics?
By contrast, Italy’s PM Meloni says that Soros, not Musk, is the danger to democracy.
Soros? …. heavens no! Didnt Biden just give him the Medal of ‘Freedom’?
All the left leaning media are in a tizz over the Musk-Weidel (AfD) interview.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pkSYdlRdE8
She gets stuck into the former German government’s embrace of wind and solar, which is clearly inadequate for a highly industrialised country like Germany. Musk agrees, so obviously he too is “far right”.
The BBC is worse than the ABC. It’s the pommy Oxbridge LSE condescension.
AfD are also fans of smaller government and less bureaucratic red tape hindering all sorts of proposals. That makes them conservative, not far right. Musk agrees, having run into this sort of crap himself.
AfD are in favour of less woke crap in the education system, and are against illegal immigration. Obviously dangerous extremists!
My home town of Christchurch never returned to normal after the earthquake.

Nope.
If you have ever watched Million Dollar Listing LA you will know that any house more than 20 years old in a good location is up for demolition anyway. The denizens care nothing for history or architecture, with rare exceptions.
On the contrary, the developers will be licking their chops.
Black Rock is waiting for the smoke to clear, just like Maui.
Houses are like trees, they grow back.
The fire ravaged area of Maui has been subsumed by developers. The, now, uninsured LA burbs will most likely go the same way. The citizens of Buncombe County whose homes were destroyed by Hurricane Helene, and are still waiting for help, have a new horror to deal with.
Sensing a pattern?
“Despite the widespread devastation left behind in the wake of Hurricane Helene, Buncombe County, North Carolina property owners were expected to cough up their property taxes earlier this week.
Midnight on Monday Jan 6 was the deadline for property owners to pay their taxes as Public Information Officer Stacy Woods told residents, “North Carolina law does not permit property tax waivers or exceptions for natural disasters, including hurricane Helene.”
The thought of collecting taxes on property that has been destroyed or that no longer exists, is shocking to residents who are still in the process of recovering from the unprecedented destruction caused by the storm.
. . . Meanwhile, the question remains as to whether the county will move to seize properties from residents for non-payment of taxes, as allowed by law.”
Forget about property developers, local governments are the real vultures.
It was found that in some LGAs in NSW in the past the two were found to be bed-partners. A very cosy arrangement.
Might see a fleet of ‘Killdozers’.
Steven Hayward makes a prediction today:
Fire Notes | Power Line (9 Jan)
Couple this with the fact that insurance companies have fled California, because Newsom prevented them from increasing premiums, and I suspect a lot of people will just give up and move to Texas instead.
Eco friendly may be on the nose soon but then again most people are rather shallow and will believe anything. As for higher density, yeah let’s put more people in danger prone areas.
yeah let’s put more people in danger prone areas.
Next : Earthquake
Earthquake? Near the San Andreas Fault?
Earthquake that are almost invariably followed by fire? Ruptured fuel pipes and storage, ignited by the usual means; arson, arcing electrical systems?
The Left Coast is probably overdue for a good shake and shuffle.
It’s the selectivity in the media that kills.I was channel surfing and ABC running Karen Bass LA Mayor press conference.No way they run the clip where she was drilled at the airport by a journalist and just stood there speechless.
Makes you wonder if before the internet there were many more such occurrences that reporters kept from the public.
Churnalists do not refer to themselves as “opinion-shapers” for no reason.
When they want YOUR opinion, they will give it to you, good and hard.
The Tories have got rocks in their head if they think that a long campaign for a longwinded enquiry about events which happened, in political relative terms, a long time ago, which the government will only be obliged to respond to a long time in the future – is a good strategy for either their party or the poor abused girls.
Wrong, there’s nothing historical about the ‘events’, the rapes are ongoing, the mass grooming and raping of working class white girls continues unabated. UK Labour, once a party that represented the interests of the working class, now represents the interests of Muslim rapists.
In Newcastle upon Tyne there’s a gang of Syrian migrants who are grooming and raping local white girls. This gang of rapists is known to both the local plod and, of course, to the Labour controlled council. They choose to look the other way.
If all Labour strongholds are now controlled by Muslims at the local level then it’s just a matter of time before they demand a name change or else.
The Turd was a disaster beyond imagining. His brief time as PM will have dreadful repercussions forever in this unfortunate country.
Hmmm, very interesting

Does each successive generation of leftist shitbags upon leaving power in the aftermath of wrecking…f*cking absolutely everything, look back on their ascension to power and see a naive and silly person who just didn’t know the damage they were about to do, OR do they look back on a person who full well knew what they were about to do, which was precisely what the previous generation of shitbag, degenerate leftists did, and their only regret is they couldn’t have the time to complete the destruction?
Definitely the latter. These people are driven by conviction that is unalterable. A classic recent example was the piece by Nick Cater in the Oz earlier this week claiming that the green slime had become more radical than the original party started by Bob Brown. The old b*** immediately launched into print to deny that, and said he fully supported Bandit and the current party policy.
They never change, you can bet the house on it. Gad Saad calls it a mind virus and that’s just what it is.
I’d like to put Tony Blair in a Tumbril and carry him through the streets of the cities he’s destroyed with his desire to “Rub the Rights nose in Diversity.”
He’s done more damage to Great Britain than the Luftwaffe.
More proof (as if it was needed) that greenies hate beauty, especially if it conflicts with their ideology:
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-01-10/weed-infested-secret-garden-in-perth-restored/104782998
Look at the picture in the link. It really was a beautiful and magical place.
But, beauty can only be expressed in correct ways. So, it had to go.
I fail to see how a tiny patch of incorrect weeds are going to disrupt the planet’s ecological balance, if there is such a thing.
More likely the locals were annoyed by the traffic, which could have been dealt with.
Plus, the notion of unapproved vegetation being beautiful and giving pleasure infuriates the latter day Cromwellians.
I’ll bet it burns down soon, and the developers get their hands on it, build a 40 storey shopping centre/carpark and luxury apartments.
They’ll probably call it “Fantasy Grotto Mall”.
Sorry, no. That purple flowering creeper is a terrible weed. You see it growing over fences every now and again. The horticulture industry do a better job now but have unleashed some terrible plants on the public.
I’ve been reading Ecclesiastes. It reminds me of the thoughts of Marvin the depressed robot from Hitch-hiker guide to the Galaxy.

They know that what Kruddy hates most of all is being ignored.
He would rather that they loudly demand he be sacked, because that would put him in the spotlight and he could frame himself as the “fearless ambassador who stood up to Orange Hitler 2.0”.
And you’re right about “holidaying in Queensland” as a blind for not being invited to the inauguration or, being invited, but seated behind the agricultural attaché from Botswana.
What would be funny would be if they issue an invitation the morning of the 20th, too late for Kruddster to get back to DC, and the 2-I-C goes along.
Anthony Albanese has given an iron-clad guarantee no new mining tax will be introduced if he wins the Federal election and ruled out a minority government deal with the Greens as he vies to secure crucial resources states.
Is that like one of those no carbon tax promise thingys that a certain Gillard mouthed?
Dutton needs to go hard especially in WA and bring up the ghost of Gillard. Won’t matter much in Qld as the ALP don’t have many seats outside of the SE corner anyway…
No doubt paid for by leftist a*sehole actors.
The DEI hires running the LA Fire Dept have it all worked out. The lezzos in charge (including a POC) are all up to it. The black mayor diverted critical funds from emergency services equipment to look after the illegal migrants flooding in across open boders (ie a money laundering scam). They grounded all fire fighting aircraft for 24 hours while the Old Perv flew in on AF1. The fire destroyed hundreds of acres meanwhile.
Leftism isn’t just a mental illness, it’s also criminally insane.
Muslims grooming and kidnapping girls is a worldwide phenomenon.
Ask the Copts in Egypt, Hindus in Pakistan etc.
In a religion where polygamy is practised there will always be a shortage of women, it’s why they have sanctioned turning to younger and younger female children in their own countries. Let along where millions of young males have abandoned their homeland and moved to the west.
What did authorities expect?
Women of marriageable age aren’t going to look at unemployable immigrants who are quite often illiterate, even in their own language, of course they are going to go after the vulnerable.
They have unlimited time to hang around school gates and the places school children congregate and prey on potential victims.
The notion of mind viruses was invented by Richard Dawkins more than thirty years ago to explain religious belief.
The use of an epidemiological model to explain philosophical, metaphysical or political convictions is reductionistic. Further, there is not a skerrick of empirical evidence for it, which is somewhat ironic given Dawkins’s promotion of science as the only objective epistemology.
Those on the prog-left are not suffering from a virus; they are responsible moral agents who can and should be held fully accountable for their ideological commitments and the harm they cause to others.
Further, there is not a skerrick of empirical evidence for it
Bit like actual ‘viruses’ then?
It’s just a useful meme, an analogy, Roger, though I agree that it can be misused to remove all sense of personal responsibility for what you allow to influence you. Zeitgeist is a more useful concept, about how we can be unwittingly (perhaps) influenced by the views and cultural activities of those who surround us in daily life. Analogous to a tendency to statistical conversion towards the mean in any population.
You’ve cheered me up on this horrible day, DrBeau.
I will never be able to read Ecclesiastes again without hearing Alan Rickman. There never was a more mournfully melodious voice.
This is crucial. My sis tells me her grandkids are doing a welcome to country ceremony EVERY DAY (NSW). Yr 2 at Primary. Growing up believing this is not your country, you are here by the the good graces of the near extinct abos. Becoming adults fully primed with guilt load ready to handover 30 billion odd annually to the corrupt indigeny industry.
If Dutton gets in he must take decisive immediate action to de-program the kids and get all the DEI, woke leftist shit out of the curriculum. More than 50% is leftist propaganda.
My friend’s children were being subjected to this 2-3 times daily at their State primary school last year, until he and his wife put a stop to it. The principal’s wife is indigenous-ish, this got taken to the top of the area Education Dept, and they stopped it.
After the revelations of the last few weeks, can anyone now watch British cop shows and not think about how inappropriate the portrayal is?
I don’t get how there haven’t been mass resignation of cops or outcry from their unions (scrub that one).
Even outright rebellion.
But then there a certain types who become cops, I suppose.
Those ones have left and the corrupt/cowardly ones have only employed the self centred sociopaths who get off on the gear and the guns.
They are not your friends.
Or how unreal.
The last two British cop shows I watched were all about the plight of illegal immigrants and about how mean the authorities were.
Then I switched over to American TV (Bull) and it was about a personable, tertiary qualified chap who was about to be deported to certain execution.
That’s the MSM’s unending stream of lies for you.
Trump should promise to pay these taxes on their behalf from federal coffers as a recompense for FEMA’s scandalous performance in the aftermath of the storm.

The LAFD is Run by Three Lesbians Named ‘Kirsten’ (10 Jan)
And then the fire hydrants ran out of water, and the fire fighting budget was cut by $17 million to use the money for illegal migrants.
Reality has a way of kicking ideology fair in the nuts.
So many references to ‘hydrants running out of water’ ???
Hydrants are just big outlets on the existing water pipes, not some separate system that has to be kept ‘filled’.
Having said that, if every one in the fire area was running hoses and sprinklers, the system pressure will drop. Thats why you have hoses and firepumps.
I suspect the hydrant supply towers hadn’t been filled. And the pumps to them not in operation. But I haven’t delved into the details.
Cali was wet in 2022-23 but has been dry for most of 2024.

File this next to his promise to cut immigration.
Albanese clearly has no idea how low his credibility is.
I think Anthony Albanese, the worst Prime Minister Australia has ever had, does know and that’s why he is getting more snakey every day. He’s never been responsible till he became PM and didn’t realise the buck stops with him. This is someone who’s out of their depth in a child’s paddling pool.
His attendant fluffers are working overtime to keep him ignorant of the real world.
I’m pretty certain this DEI/culture/woke leftist shyte is just a convenient mask covering for graft, corruption and money laundering scams benefiting the chosen elites. Get the “right people” in place distributing million$ of OPM at over inflated contract prices and enjoying kickbacks, pensions, jobs for life.
Mr Greenfield put his story up on Xtwitter, including photos of all the lesbian Kirstens. Who look exactly as you might expect. Now over 3 million views including a clown emoji from a certain Mr Elon Musk.

I have long thought that cop shows from the BBC and ones like the FBI are organizational propaganda. The more cop shows, the worse the state of policing.
I have not seen c op shows that only show bad cops (reality).
Line of Duty has some flawed and bad cops as main characters.
Something the media refuses to highlight is that in the UK in areas that are mostly Muslim the local government is controlled by Muslims. This means that non-Muslim residents are also subject to their rules, they live under shariah law while in the area.
The Californian wild fire phenomenon is quite amazing.
People in high risk areas didn’t like how much insurance costs were increasing so they proposed and passed a law that regulated how much insurance prices could increase.
The increases were not allowed to be calculated on future risks but only historical ones.
The government then dragged it’s heels on hazard reduction, removed dams, failed to refill reservoirs, didn’t replace fire hydrants (stolen for their brass) and focused on DEI in the fire services while cutting their budgets.
Insurance companies responded by exiting the Californian home insurance market (note State Farm lost 6 billion already in 2023 US wide) and home owners were forced onto a very expensive fire only badly underfunded State scheme.
One person mentioned their 3k policy increased to 9k, then the insurer declined to renew and they had to pay 15k for the default scheme.
Lots of fallacies around insurance, it’s about pooling risk not a savings scheme and insurance companies don’t owe you because you consumed 40 years of insurance.
And as someone nicely pointed out, people who build concrete houses about the tide surge line don’t have to cover people who build wooden houses below the tide surge line.
Though they probably do.
Exactly. I would like to live in a semi rural block surrounded by national park with gums overhanging my house but realise there is a price to pay for that.
My house and contents insurance was over $1700 this year, I sucked it up and paid.
Yes my block is worth much the same without a house but I’d still have to pay to remove the debris and I would need to replace my belongings.
Also I like the concept of pooling risk, I believe it’s fundamental to civilisation.
Cripes! Who is your insurer?
I pay almost four grand a year right now.

California is the 4th largest economy in the world, bigger than all Germany.
From Newscum down, the huge administration is a DEI, woke, inept leftist freak show.Now overrun with gangs from the south, homeless shitting all over Hollywood and as we see an infrastructure white anted by corruptocrats.
And to fund this DEI woke hellscape, Cali imposes the highest income and sales taxes in the US.
This is where leftism leads you. Into a great big shithole.
In my experience, lesbians are almost as bad as Indians when placed in hiring positions.
There was a NSW school where the Principal and her deputy were in a relationship.They then started forcing out the male Head Teachers and replacing them with more lesbians, and they then started on started on the straight female HTs.
Eventually, as the bullying increased, complaints were made to district office and the union, which did nothing. It was wholly serendipitously the boss and deputy were seen by a member of staff on a cruise together, carrying on like the couple they were,that the relationship was exposed and finally the department took action moving both to different schools because the boss did not declare a conflict of interest and stepping away from the hiring process.
So, after all that, the department big wigs still thought they should be employed.
Teachers are all but unsackable.
There’s the problem.
As Dad once remarked ‘to think you entrust your children to these people’
Was the Entryist Scheme disassembled?
No.
Then they won. The scheme will just continue elsewhere.
That’s the problem with fighting it – they’re allowed to keep the gains.
Every appointment they made should have been scrutinised, and every sacking/forced resignation should have been investigated.

Japan is not California.
That said, Tokyo is spending a f tonne of money upgrading its water management systems to deal with typhoons.
They are planning for a once in a hundred year typhoon ie infrastructure that will be unlikely to be used but it’s there just in case.
Compare that with the chronic underspend in California to deal with events that occur every single year.
All over the western world IMO, including here.
Yes I mention it again but it is visible roads are a prime example, unlike utilities which the public don’t see or hear much about till it fails.
I guess those drag queens and smoking ceremonies don’t pay for themselves.

SATP. We had signs before this would turn out as it has.
They promised to be tougher on crime, however the solution was more programs to deal with misguided yoof, tinkering with remand regulations but with no teeth and nothing substantial on sentencing. End result, throw more money at a problem that has been a black hole so far with minimal results. Judiciary emboldened after their success with Carmody and totally polluted by 30 years of ALP stacking will do what they want. Same sentencing without constraints being put on the learned wigged ones, a kid/adult with 50 priors should be in jail pure and simple, I could give even 1 micro gram of s$#@ about his right as the public has a right to be safe from turds who don’t get it is trumps.
Treaty, yup wind vane. Wouldn’t be surprised if somewhere there is an endrun round scrutiny and this mob of grifters is still getting public funding somehow and biding their time for a change in Government.
Public service I’m not even going to start to try and work that one out but I can’t see any other way than job cuts & loading up KPI’s with increased productivity clauses. If they were bold they might go after public sector unionism, I personally think this is a giant gorilla in the room when it comes to corruption and conflicts of interest.
Anyway day is too young to be staring at a phone screen. Later.
Yeah, rejecting Dutton’s nuclear policy was a big tell.
On the other hand Crisafulli will probably keep the coal-fired power stations going, which is no bad thing.

Vandals paint Swastika signs on Southern Sydney Synagogue at Allawah
A synagogue in the city’s south has been daubed with at least a dozen swastika signs in the latest anti-Semitic vandalism attack in Sydney overnight.
Southern Sydney Synagogue has been daubed with at least a dozen Swastika signs in the latest anti-Semitic vandalism attack in the city overnight.
Police were at the scene this morning checking for clues after the place of worship in Railway Avenue, Allawah was defaced by vandals who sprayed a large black Swastika sign at the entrance of the building.
Two men in hoodies and wearing masks were seen loitering around the synagogue between 4am and 5am.
Red Swastikas and several black ones have been sprayed on the white walls of the synagogue.
President of the synagogue George Foster said “I received a call from the police at around 4.30am saying they had driven by and there was graffiti all over the synagogue.
“Looking at the CCTV it seems there were two men in black hoodies and masks who were spraying the walls of the synagogue.
“It is deeply distressing but it’s almost inevitable given the background on the rise of anti-Semitism currently.
“My parents were holocaust survivors and this has echoes of Germany 1933 with people singling out Jewish shops, religious institutions and homes by painting them with antisemitic signs. It’s unbelievable this happening in Australia.”
Police have been sifting through CCTV footage in the area in a bid to net the culprits.
NSW Premier Chris Minns was seen speaking with members of the synagogue on Friday morning, as forensic police officers inspected the scene.
David Ossip, president of the Jewish Board of Deputies, said:
“Offenders must be prosecuted and receive penalties sufficient to ensure that such conduct is deterred and not normalised.”
He pleaded for attacks on Jews to stop.
“Enough is enough,” he said.
“It isn’t normal or acceptable that Australians are having to wake up every morning filled with apprehension about whether or not there’s been another antisemitic hate crime overnight.
“This illegal behaviour is reprehensible and undermines the social harmony and cohesion which we all treasure.
“We cannot allow ourselves to become desensitised to acts of Jew-hatred and allow illegal conduct such as this to become normalised.”
He added: “The alleged offenders must be swiftly identified and prosecuted and receive penalties sufficient to ensure that such conduct is deterred and not normalised.”
Executive Council of Australian Jewry co-chief executive Alex Ryvchin condemned the attack, saying: “The community expects swift arrests to be made and for those who deface houses of worship with the symbol of genocide to face the full force of the law.
“As long as these people evade justice for trying to terrorise Australian citizens, it will continue. We’re also calling on our fellow Australians, particularly those in positions of influence across society, to end the silence and publicly denounce this behaviour as repugnant to our national values and a threat to us all.”
Police from St George Police Area Command are investigating.
“Offensive graffiti was spray painted on a synagogue in Sydney’s south west,” a spokesman said.
“The incident is believed to have occurred between 3.55am and 4.30am [on Friday] on Railway Parade, Allawah.”
Australia in 2025. All those pretty words and assurances uttered by Pretty Boy Minns aren’t doing anything to ‘curb’ the attacks and vandalism, are they?
By the way, in the above report they fail to mention a key word which was painted on the synagogue, and which is in the picture of the vandalism, the word…………
Allah
I think we can ascertain the religion of the vandals, it isn’t Buddhism or Sikhism or Hinduism or Methodism or Anglicanism or Catholicism.
Guarantee if I tossed a pigs head into a mosque plod would be at my place before me.

I have not seen c op shows that only show bad cops (reality).

Ah, my son, you need to check out the Aussie Blue Murder series.
No more needs to be said.
It was brilliant.
However it was made in 1995, 30 years ago.
“Not allowed to worship God when it’s cold outside”
I think you’ll find the Swedish churches are empty summer and winter.
Saw an article recently where a 4th Catholic Church had opened in Sweden, Lutherans sold them a beautiful neo gothic that was surplus to requirements.
Is it just me or does Newsom have a certain Trudeau aroma about him?
He obviously intends to declare war on Trump as his strategy for regaining credibility. Nice try Gav boy. You are hated, Trump is loved. How is that going to work?
It was obviously disgusting that lunatic academic Karen Piper (there’s that name again) referred to the loss of James Wood’s home as “karma”. But, can one be permitted just a teeny weeny bit of gloat over the Hollywierds’ self immolation through woke?
I think this debacle has just deep sixed any chance for Newsom in 2028.
Signs are that lefties in LA are being red pilled by it.
“Anthony Albanese has given an iron-clad guarantee no new mining tax will be introduced if he wins the Federal election and ruled out a minority government deal with the Greens as he vies to secure crucial resources states”

Gay Choirs, Trans Cafes And Social Justice Art: What LA Spent Money On While Cutting Its Fire Budget (9 Jan)
Also California spent $31 Billion on illegals last year.
Blue Murder was indeed an awesome televisual feast – quite possibly the apogee of Australian drama, I can’t think of anything that remotely comes close to its portrayals of some of the most venal and preposterous individuals to have graced the underworlds of our cities.
Don’t forget, many of us in NSW had to smuggle in video copies from interstate to watch it after its initial release.
While I have little time for cops, it must be frustrating even to the most indoctrinated of them when this crap occurs in so called courts of justice.
From the worst oz
A 24-year-old Goldfields man has avoided immediate jail for splitting a man’s head open with the handle of an axe despite admitting to the offence only on the day of his trial.
Wenchester Joshua Blowes was sentenced for the unlawful wounding charge in Kalgoorlie Magistrates Court on Monday after previously changing his plea from not guilty on the day the trial was set to go ahead.Chief magistrate Steven Heath told the man he had “shot himself in the foot” by waiting until the day of trial to take responsibility, and warned others that courts would start punishing those who did so.
Blowes had already pleaded guilty to a charge of being armed from the same day as this offence and had been sentenced to a conditionally suspended imprisonment order.“If he pleaded guilty at the same time as this other incident … he would now be within three weeks of completing the CSIO,” Mr Heath said.
“He now loses all bar 5 per cent, perhaps, discount for his early plea and if I sentence him to a CSIO it runs from today.“He has shot himself in the foot.
“Because of the delay (it causes), courts will increasingly punish people who plead not guilty and change their pleas on the day, or are found guilty at trial.“You lose so much by waiting until the day of trial to plead guilty.”
The court was told Blowes got into a verbal altercation with someone out the front of a Victory Heights house about 3am on December 26, 2023.The victim approached him and asked him to go for a walk with him to cool down.
The pair began walking down the street with a witness behind them when they got into a verbal altercation and Blowes picked up an axe and struck the victim over the head with the handle.The blow caused a wound requiring seven stitches and the victim was taken to hospital by ambulance.
When police arrived, they saw Blowes standing in the middle of the street with the axe in his hands.Defence lawyer Leneva Polmear said Blowes was significantly intoxicated on the day of the offending but accepted it was not an excuse.She said both he and his family were disappointed in his actions and she called for him to be given another chance on a community disposition.
She said Blowes had a three-year gap in offending on his criminal record, which proved he could stay “off the gear” and hold a job.Mr Heath granted him another opportunity to prove himself outside of jail and sentenced him to 12 months jail, suspended for 12 months with supervision and program requirements.
Meeeow!

Karen wants to speak to the manager. Well Mz Pence be of good cheer: your traitorous hubby will never now be elected to office ever again, not even as the local dog catcher.
It’s Karen who should look away in shame. Her husband betrayed not just Trump but supported the entire rotten electoral process that we knew in 2020 was gamed.
What a rude woman.
Not very Christian of her.
Is she taller than Melania?
I can’t see anyone, let alone a miserable Karen stare down Melania.

And then the fire hydrants ran out of water, and the fire fighting budget was cut by $17 million to use the money for illegal migrants.
Pretty much sums up the factors that were involved in this disaster.
And then add shutting down air space to let Dementia Joe fly in which stopped flights of water bombers.
There will be more clusterfcuks to come to light.
Technically the problem with the water bombers was the wind gusting to 100 mph.

I hope and pray for the guys on the ground and pilots in the air fighting this monster.
The death of (a lot of ) manual labour;
https://x.com/minchoi/status/1877480205406630381
24/7 work hours, no wages, no super, no UNIONS, no annual/carers/sick/parental leave….
Just a few hours maintenance each month.
Amazing!
That thing looks like a dork.
Also: what’s the point of it?
You can already hire slave labour thanks to globalism, and the slaves don’t require maintenance, fix themselves if broken (injured) and can be disposed of instantaneously when no longer required, and find their own energy sources, storing it in the dense form of fat which they carry about with them.
Your head is back in the Model T era. Get a fkg grip.
What happens if you give it a good shove?
Did you go down the whole thread- more than a dozen example? They have better balance than you!
What happens if I take to it with a blow torch?
Same thing as if you take to your slaves with a blowtorch. They stop working
What’s the use case of these things?
Factory labour? Factories are already automated.
Field labour? Again, as much as agricultural work can be automated it has been. You don’t need a humanoid shaped thing to pick fruit.
Household labour? Rich folks with mansions are going to prefer these creepy arse things to the maid they can f*ck?
Or is it to down market the household maid experience to the lower classes who can’t afford fighting paternity cases? In your average, modern lower class home where are you going to put this ugly dork thing, and what is it going to do for you that a Roomba or dish washer isn’t already doing?
I am amazed that no-one in the disaster-prone districts of Los Angeles had a prepared Grab-and-Go bag. I’ve got one, and I live in a rural suburb in a rural town where it is unlikely ever to be an earthquake, tornado or catastrophic fire. I update annually, and list all the extra bits needed to add at the last minute.
Likewise. What’s so hard about it?
Because these people are so used having everything done for them.
Also, NO rooftop sprinkler systems. 99% of homes had swimming pools which in most cases remained intact. A firefighter pump like most of us in rural areas have ready to use in the shed, could have been used to pump water from the pool or operate the rooftop sprinklers.
I cannot fathom how unprepared Angelinos are for fires.

Wow. Sky News caught Gavin Newsom using a fake phone call to avoid a desperate Mom and victim of the fires. He pretended to be on the phone with the President and she caught him.
His political career should be over after this!
I saw that. I believe she was in on it. Did you catch the part where the Bodyguard is “gently”, pushing her away and she says “it’s okay, I’m not going to hit him”?
Also, she was only rambling about the loss of the school. Then she was rambling about how most of them had lost TWO homes because they were living in one and building another.
All this whilst Newscum was being gently, yet manfully paternal.
It was all an act for the cameras.

And insurance companies should be free to create pools which bundle common risks (or exit high risk markets completely) without fear of being accused of various ‘isms and phobias.
The common one here is “not available North of the Tropic of Capricorn”.
Some Queenssslanders would have you believe that this is a plot by Sydney-Canberra-Melbourne to oppress them, but it is really just about risk.
Have you ever heard of a Temperate Cyclone?
No.
They’re called Tropical Cyclones for a reason
What did authorities expect?
They assumed all cultures are equal.
Not equal; the leftoids hate the West and class ‘cultures’ like the muzzies and 3rd nations as being superior to but oppressed by the wicked West. It’s the basis of victimology which is destroying the West. It’s as simple as that: the left hate the West and betray it.

Mine went up too, but not by that much.
The insured value automatically increases unless I elect to hold it at the same level.
When I broke it down, a big chunk was that increase in insured value and, after talking to a couple of builders, I decided to leave it at the higher level.
A massive part of “insurance premium profiteering” is construction costs with the attendant regulatory overlay of re-building to the 2024 regulations.
Insurance market and accounting largely a matter of “finger in the air” stuff. Generally works pretty well till someone goes for growth or market share and does an HIH.
The Santa Ana winds that fanned the destruction of Pacific Palisades occur maybe 10-20 times per year. Most commonly in the fall and winter, peaking in December.
Any fire chief and LA Mayor MUST know this, plan for this, fund and prepare for this. So must all the California State Administration. All the way up to Newscum.
Reports coming out that the LA Mayor (who went to Ghana when the fires started) has a Cuban Marxist history.
UK gives up island to Mauritius. Decides it needs the base and offers 9 billion for lease.Monumental stupidity
9 Billion! Wow!
There is as much scope there for “refreshers” as in a French submarine contract.
Follow the spillage!
m0ron,
Why aren’t you in here defending the leftard Newscum and his woke DEI LGBTQI+ freakshow LA fire dept chiefs?
Inside every leftard tyrant is a sniveling lying coward.
Where this is headed:-
1. On 19th January, Biden will offer Newsom one hundred and eleventy guzzillion dollars to “Build Back Better” … “you get a mansion, and you get a mansion … everyone gets a mansion!”
2. Ten seconds after inauguration, the baying press mob will start howling at Trump to “re-affirm the Federal commitment of aid to Cowifornia”.
3. No matter what Trump says or does, this will be his “George Dubya / Hurricane Katrina moment”.
Whatever Trump does , he will lose just a handful of votes. Most of the burnt out in Cali would have been leftards, who voted in Newscum and for Harris. In fact, this catastrophe may even gain Trump votes.
By the time Trump and his Administration finishes exposing what has gone on in LA, the MSM will again look like commie propaganda pushers for all to see.
Maybe Trump should just offer $50,000 recovery grants once elected (evidence based) for everyone, and no more on the grounds that the place is chockers with very rich people with the means and it would be very unfair to the poor of the country for the government to give them any more.
I remember when the concept of memes first came out.
A meme was really just a block of human memory that was powerful enough to withstand social transmission. Like the concept of Christianity, or Islam, or Global Warming.
It seems there are good memes, bad memes, and comic memes.
The concept has changed now into a “Mind Virus” that describes its predatory nature.
Nice space stuff this weekend. Bezos is hoping to launch his bigger better rocket on Sunday:
Blue Origin’s first orbital launch now targeting Sunday (Phys.org, 9 Jan)
I hope he succeeds – if he does it’ll be only the second launcher that lands back on Earth to be reused. But first launch attempts are always iffy, so a rapid unscheduled disassembly is not unexpected.
Elon is not a man to be upstaged though, his even bigger rocket is due to launch on Monday. And hopefully they plan to catch it with the chopsticks.

No doubt Boeing and NASA to foot the bill.
Man, that will make lefty heads explode.
I reckon NASA have been given the heads up. Come 21st January, if you can’t commit to getting them back by end February the job is going to Musk. And, if you do commit and fail, heads will roll.
Lahaina will be Trump’s fault too.
The concept has changed now into a “Mind Virus” that describes its predatory nature.
SF writer John Barnes has a whole series of novels on that concept.
So many many drones.

Do so, and you burn the lot down!
The UK Government is working with law enforcement and its counter-extremism unit to actively monitor Elon Musk for mean tweets about their failure to protect children from Pakistani Muslim rape gangs. According to GB News, the measures have been put in place in order to identify risks to Britain’s national security, and involve increased monitoring and surveillance.
The nilists continue to march forward.
I thought the astronauts on the ISS already had a ride home organised on a Dragon?
Yes they do. That’s why they only sent two astronauts up in the last manned mission, so that the two stranded astronauts could return in the other two seats. I guess SpaceX redesigned the two vacant seats to fit the NASA spacesuits.
Fiction is where it belongs.
As Calli said, what a grubby little place England has become.
‘According to GB News, the measures have been put in place in order to identify risks to Britain’s
national securityleftist Establishment and their multicultural Potemkin village.’Meanwhile, carrying water for his UK Labour mates, Albanese has labelled Musk’s tweets a form of foreign interference.

Didn’t work out well for the Assyrians.
now watch British cop shows and not think about how inappropriate the portrayal is?
We started watching new series Missing You on Netflix last night and lasted 25 minutes.
Central premise is black supercop lady on way to work takes down a violent offender armed with a knife after unsuccessfully trying to empathise with him. Message: nice and fair but tough.
Arrives at work, which is full of diverse characters and some old white blokes on the way out. Immediately goes into Batgirl mode leaping into the car searching for latest missing Bod. Takes along with her new hire soy boy who is super-good with computers. He just happens to have the laptop and lead when they find Missing Bod’s car. Breaks into car in seconds.
Sets the scene for super tough ladies who show the way to pale stale males who if they only wise up get to carry the boss lady’s latte.
Click!
Mind you it is by Harlan Coben, whose works always seem full of woke characters.
It started going that way with prime suspect in the 90s. The Bill collapsed in a smouldering rubbish heap of PC platitudes too. Haven’t bothered with pommy TV for decades.
Stars go the whinge in LA:
Actress Sara Foster took to X to lament how Los Angeles residents pay exorbitant taxes but the state was still completely unprepared to take on such massive wildfires.
“Our fire hydrants were empty. Our vegetation was overgrown, brush not cleared. Our reservoirs were emptied by our governor because tribal leaders wanted to save fish. Our fire department budget was cut by our mayor. But thank god drug addicts are getting their drug kits,” she wrote.
The politically active actress, who is the daughter of music mogul David Foster, called on Bass and Gov. Gavin Newsom to resign, writing: “your far-left policies have ruined our state. And also our party.”
Former “Dancing with the Stars” professional dancer Valentin Chmerkovskiy also vented his frustrations over the state’s lack of preparedness, writing on social media Wednesday, “5th largest economy on the planet. Firefighters didn’t have enough water pressure to do their jobs?! Are you joking me?! The taxes we pay for 3rd world infrastructure is unbelievable?! Come on.”
Nice but did they speak out beforehand? Sky
Of course not.
These types never complain while the festivities are on and the booze is flowing.
They only complain when the bill is presented.

Really? Communism and Islam seem to be pretty strong mind virii that reproduce successfully.
Remember this from the Towering Inferno, fire due to cheap short cuts when building the tower.
“Chief O’Hallorhan : You know, we were lucky tonight. Body count’s less than 200. You know, one of these days, you’re gonna kill 10,000 in one of these firetraps, and I’m gonna keep eating smoke and bringing out bodies until somebody asks us… how to build them.”
Doesnt really work in this case but sort of does.
Anyway I cut and paste , cause you know LA , movie stuff and all that.
Are they looking for clues with a magnifying glass? This has such hallmarks of Keystone Kops yet our Police Commissioner is quite happy with that.
So let me work through this to get to a possible resolution. Antisemitism is covered by 18C of the Anti-Discrimination Act which is a federal law. As such wouldn’t Australian Federal Police be responsible for enforcing it? If that is the case then things will not get better until after the election, and provided that Dutton and the LNP win it, that a real investigation can be put into place. And I hope Dutton puts a firecracker under ASIO as well.
Well the sheer religious insanity is here, I acknowledge that. Here’s who he is:
There is no such thing.
See my comment upthread this morning.
Communism and Islam are ideologies, not viruses.
They act like viruses. Unless you have a mind vaccination you get infected.
Within the context of memes as originally posited, they are. And that was the basis of the post.
And what? People are just born thinking old mate Karl had the solution to all ills?
Or does the ideology get passed from a comely Marxist chick at university to some horny dude just like herpes?

When are the Australian Jews going to fight back?
We do fight back, with legal means. What do you want us to do? Graffiti and vandalise mosques? Intimidate and threaten Muslims?
Not gonna happen.
The best fight back both Australian Jews and non-Jews can do is to vote the grub of Grayndler and his motley group of Jew haters out of office at the next federal election and elect Peter Dutton.
Then it’s not going to stop, is it, Cassie?
I’d suggest that like your people in Israel, you either get off your knees or prepare yourselves for the mass graves Islam is preparing for you.
And I’m not going to fight for someone who refuses to fight for themselves.
First they came for the Jews, and you refused to fight for them…….

Not even Ghana.
It seems climate change has a name in this instance and it’s Karen Bass.
She is the mayor of LA (who has been forced to return from a junket in Ghana – she doesn’t hold a hose either).
Someone has unearthed a memo from the fire chief to the board of commissioners dated 4 December, 2024, stating that Bass’s budget cuts have had a “cascading impact” on the department’s core operations, leaving it “severely limited” in its ability to respond to “large-scale events including wildfires.”
It seems that the lesbian fire chiefs know a bit more about arse covering than they do about fire fighting.
I have not seen any information about increased Christian, or more specifically Catholic, migration to Sweden, it’s all Muslim and Middle East origin therefore a demand for more Catholic churches is rather interesting.
Church of Sweden is just a watered down version of Lutheran which is also watered down from its origins, therefore the increase in demand for Catholic churches could be from Swedes who are less than inspired by their state religions and want something more authentic. We may be seeing the beginning of a re-Christianising of Europe.
It could even be as simple as people seeing such religious fervour from Muslims that they think hey I have my own religion and might check it out. Who knows, Islam could cause Christian revival.

There is less than zero reasons to be in the UN.
No reason at all, except to provide various wankers a cushy job where they get to opine on things other people should do.

Funny about Harlan Coben, I just slogged through ‘I will find you’ and it read like a bookwrittebformakingintoanactionmovie.

Communism and Islam are ideologies, not viruses.
Agreed they are not complex chemical assemblies on the boundary between life and non life but mind is an emergent property and minds can be infected with ideas which can just as readily be called mind virii.
No, no, no. A virus is viable and can be pathologically identified.
IMHO This notion of a ‘mind virus’ is in the same bucket of vomit as men can have babies etc.
The best fight back both Australian Jews and non-Jews can do is to vote the grub of Grayndler and his motley group of Jew haters out of office at the next federal election and elect Peter Dutton.
Correct. Any Australian Jew who votes for the liars/filth is insane.
Again, raw footage and no narration.

Palisade Fire Day Two
The evil witch Premier of Sicktoria, Jacinta Allan, shielding the totally failed ludicrously expensive ruinable energy disaster in Vic by hiking gas exploration licences by 300%. Phasing out gas by stealth.
These people are nothing but traitors.
And it’s high time the LNP came out and publicly abandon the climate change hoax. Completely, in all it’s forms.
But the won’t because they aren’t known as SFL for nothing!
Dutton should be calling for gas sequestering NOW. To fully service Australia’s gas needs at a cost plus figure before any exports.
At some point all that gas might save Victoriastan. Lot of pain till then.

Oh, my goodness! You’re Mrs Masters; French, Latin, English teacher and generally crabby old biatch. Wish I had two legs to give you an A-grade moon.
Given that they imagine themselves to be the brains trust it is interesting that all you have to do to wake them up is burn their houses down. As far as Newsom goes, it is hard to imagine someone from central casting doing a better job for the role of a spiv.
Crossie I should have been more specific, it was Stockholm and mainly to cater to Polish migrants.
I know the Bridgettine Order has reopened a convent in Sweden but I’m not sure if any of the sisters are Swedish.
Apparently 1.2% of Swedes identity as Catholic.
Only became legal to convert to Catholicism in 1860.

I will still pray for that Christian revival.
In Malmo where I visited last August, it was Swedes and middle easterners and tourists from Denmark and Norway.
We had lots of the Danish and Norwegian tourists start conversations with us when they heard us speak English, or more accurately Australian. Common themes were how they have been to Australia or they would love to visit Australia. I invited everyone to visit.
That’s the other thing about Scandinavians, everyone speaks English except a few old ladies in my cousin’s block of flats. That didn’t stop them talking to me so I just nodded and smiled.
That sombre tone in his voice sums it up.

SoCal Fires Damage Update 1/9/2025
Dover, is it at all possible to display the comments people make to others? They occur in an indented form so that those not interested could easily scroll on by. Having to open the reply function means many don’t bother and comments in reply get lost. They do add to the vitality of this blog.
Anyway, for those interested in India, here’s a late comment I made to one by Top Ender re the levels of discarded rubbish in India:
Yep. Plenty of rubbish still thrown away everywhere. We crossed a bridge over that tributary of the Ganges where Gandhi’s ashes were strewn and it was awful, stagnant and with slimy rubbish-strewn banks. Then we passed by the works for a brand new whiz-bang latest in airports, Delhi’s second international one, to take initially a million passengers a year using German designs and technology. A land of contrasts, in transition to a future world power. Nothing like there yet, but one can see this train coming down the line. One billion people, ardent independent shopkeepers like C19th Britain, all wanting an entrepreneurial future for their kids. Though too many public servants – the Brutish disease, but perhaps a small price to pay for democracy, English, major physical infrastructure and the rule of law.
ps. I am looking forward to reading Biggar’s account of Colonialism when I return, it’s on my bedside table. It was good to see that two of the visitors to Australia whom we were able to meet and hear at Quadrant and IPA functions – Nigel Biggar and Toby Young – both received Lordships (recommended by Kami for the Conservative choice) – in the UK New Year Honors lists. We also met and talked with Brendan O’Neil from Spiked, but nothing for him. He certainly deserves recognition for his contributions to public discourse. The left are good at rewarding their own, and we need to get better at it from our side of politics.
Heh, Dover reads your comments Lizzie! And it has happened.
“Meloni uses a special chartered flight to immediately deport 2 young Tunisian asylum seekers for insulting Italy on New Year’s Eve in Milan.

You do find some things Rosie. Shakes head.
In the last few days I read quite a few comments about the poor condition of roads, particularly in Victoria and Queensland. It seems to be due to lack of funds from states and federal governments yet at the same time there is plenty of money for subsidies for electric cars which are heavier than normal cars and will place even more stress on our roads. Obviously some road damage is more desirable than other kinds.
Giorgia is the most popular politician in Europe at the moment running the most stable government. Just give that a little thought and you’ll figure just how fcked Europe is at the moment.

Your weekly dose of satire.
Jim Chalmers channels Sam Konstas, without the ability to deliver
The Mocker
When it comes to political op-eds, Treasurer Jim Chalmers is hardly alone in writing interminable and self-serving waffle. But as we learned two years ago when he dictated his 6000-word whimsy on his plans to remake capitalism, there must be something about this time of year that inspires him to pen truly excruciating prose.
“On an especially muggy early morning this month, my seven-year-old daughter and I were walking the big hills near our Logan home in Queensland,” wrote Chalmers in the Courier Mail on December 28.
“She asked me what my favourite year was. I said I couldn’t decide … I asked her what her favourite year was and without hesitation she said ‘next year’. I’ve been thinking a lot about that optimism.”
We get it. If he is to be believed, his is one of the nation’s most brilliant minds, but Dr Chalmers is also a daggy dad who empathises with the many Australians doing it tough. Mind you, their plight is not his doing, notwithstanding he has been Treasurer for the last three years. If anything, he has done a fantastic job in supporting us. He wants us to know that 2025, which just happens to be an election year, will be even better.
Unfortunately for Chalmers, his rosy outlook lasted only eight hours into the new year. Suffice to say former prime minister John Howard and former treasurer Peter Costello, in recently assessing Chalmers’ stewardship of the budget, do not have the optimism of a seven-year-old.
Taking to X, a peeved Chalmers labelled their appraisal a “predictable partisan rant”. You might say the Treasurer, who loves to dish it out and plays the parochial Queenslander when politically convenient, has a Glass House Mountains jaw.
So much for his serene philosophising. During the last few days, Chalmers has continued with his social media tizz, this time railing against “right wing (sic) commentators” conspiring to suppress news of the wonderful things Labor has done for the economy. Note to the Treasurer: binary spats are the hallmark of the student politician.
But if he wants to play that game, fine. Let’s have a look at the reactionaries who constantly drown out selected readings from Chalmers’ Good News Bible.
To begin with, there is the right-wing Real Estate Institute of Australia, which in September found in its quarterly analysis that housing affordability was at a 30-year-low. Adding to this right-wing clamour is Australian Prudential Regulation Authority chairman John Lonsdale, who noted in November that mortgage stress was “double the proportion we saw in 2016, and it’s trending up”.
And it was the right-wing Australian Securities and Investments Commission which advised that 2832 construction companies went under in the 2023/24 financial year, an increase of 28 per cent. ASIC also recorded that 6925 construction firms, 4012 hospitality businesses, 1706 retailers and 1329 manufacturers have gone bust since June 2022. On top of that, last calendar year saw a record number of insolvencies, with 12,405 businesses folding.
Then there is the International Monetary Fund, which of course is a bastion of ultra-conservatism. It estimated in October by the end of 2025 Australia will have a 3.6 per cent headline inflation rate, the second highest of the 42 advanced economies. But of course that has nothing to do with federal government spending, which is forecast to hit a record-high 28 per cent of GDP by the end of 2025.
Without doubt the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development is compromised by Tory ideology. How else can you rationalise its conclusion last July that real wages in Australia were 4.8 per cent below pre-pandemic levels? It was, the organisation said, “one of the largest drops in real wages among OECD countries”.
But as Chalmers told us only a few days ago “2025 will be better”. Unfortunately the right-wing Canberra public servants who make up the Australian Bureau of Statistics are determined to portray the Treasurer as not only incompetent but also a big fibber. Last month the agency reported that GDP growth fell from 1 per cent in June to 0.8 per cent in September. The pandemic aside, this is the lowest GDP growth rate since the recession of the early 1990s.
As Chalmers tells us repeatedly, one million jobs have been created since Labor assumed government. That is hardly surprising considering the $42bn National Disability Insurance Scheme bankrolls a third of those positions. And of the 209,000 new jobs created in the first half of 2024, a whopping 50 per cent were public sector jobs.
Rest easy though, for Chalmers has the ledgers in order, right? As the Fin Review reported yesterday, the government failed in the latest Mid-Year Economic and Fiscal Outlook forecast to cater for scheduled rises in public sector wages. No biggie, just a $7.4bn disparity. Incidentally, we can forget about government delivering a budgetary surplus for at least the next ten years.
But let’s not forget the many things Labor is doing to make this a momentous year, particularly for political cronies and grifters. Chalmers has directed the $230bn Future Fund to consider so-called “national priorities”, including “supporting the energy transition as part of the net zero transformation of the Australian economy”, in its investment decisions. Pink batts, meet renewables.
The body’s inaugural chairman, David Murray, believes Chalmers’ direction breaches the Future Fund Act. The incumbent, former ACTU secretary and Labor minister Greg Combet, assures us it is tickety-boo, as does Chalmers. So confident are they it is lawful they have refused to release the relevant legal advice which they insist clears the way. To infer this decision is anything but legit is, of course, to partake in right-wing extremism.
In short forget these inconvenient facts and think optimism, optimism, optimism. As Chalmers said in his op-ed, “I thought about it again watching Sam Konstas bat in the first session on Boxing Day, with the freedom and fearlessness of a teenager.”
Normally one would not associate Konstas with Chalmers, but they do have one thing in common.
Both are boys sent to do a man’s job. The difference is Konstas has what it takes.
The Konstas honeymoon didn’t last long. Greek Raygun.
Any high rank batsman can have off days. Konstas isn’t to be judged for a while yet.
Wild swingers opening have more off days than on days.
The LA fires are just the beginning of the cascading problems people are going to face there.
Let’s say the folks who’ve had their homes destroyed manage to rustle up some money to build a new structure on the land. As someone mentioned on a podcast, the planning commission is reportedly run by seven angry lesbians, and the approval process could take about three years—or even longer—due to the backlog. After that, you’ll need to find a builder. Best of luck with that.
Realistically, you’ll be moving into your new digs around 2035—and that’s optimistic. 🙂
The same podcast mentioned that people are feeling increasingly homicidal toward the political leadership. Some of the more prominent figures have reportedly been advised not to appear in public for safety reasons.
Seven angry lesbians. Sounds like a new Disney movie.
With Snow White as their drug pusher.
And sending New Labour flunkies to campaign for Kamal-toe?
What was that?
They will reelect Newsom!
That’s the litmus test Victoriastanis failed.
Landman, apart from being very well written, clearly outlines the scams in the energy industry.
This is what America needs.
The scams outlined clearly via TV or movies so they understand.
After Taibbi left Rolling Stone for good, he wrote a piece on how little even “educated” Americans understood about the causes of the GFC.
He used the example that even many of the Ivy League educated Rolling Stone staff had little idea.
It wasn’t until Margot Robbie sat in a bubble bath in The Big Short and explained part of it did they begin to really understand.
Landman will do more to educate the public in the US about the scams than any politician or media personality will.
The opportunity is for some minted fellow to expand on what Landman does & do a series on California.
Keep in mind, the corruption in the water rights process in California was a plot theme in Chinatown which was released in the early 70’s and that’s only gotten more corrupt, not less.
Released in the 70’s but set in the 1940s.
The plot theme was water rights and incest.
Yep- look up Fiji Water. Diverting water resources…
One of my favourite movies. Must be time to watch again. Two Jakes to follow.
On sign language dorks and politicians.
Around 5% of people have hearing loss of a disabling level.
Less than 0.25% of the US population use sign language.
That is less than three in a thousand.
What portion of those are hanging out to be condescended to by shitbag politicians is unknown.
What we do know is the spectacle of a sign language “translator” gurning and gesticulating at a press conference seems to say to the general population “we enjoy mocking and downplaying your concerns and take this press conference as an occasion to put on a display of self congratulatory virtue signaling, f*ck you”.
Apologies to any deaf political junkies relying solely on the off chance of catching a glimpse of a random tellie with the subtitles off but a wildly gesticulating individual front and centre for their daily dose of politics.
Im deaf.
Subtitles rule, sign language drools.
CAN YOU HEAR ME BETTER NOW?

I get the backhand reference, but comparisons between ScoMo and the LA mayor really don’t stack up.
Firefighting in Straya is a State based enterprise, supplemented by volunteer labour (until the Unions force them out, that is).
Firefighting in LA is squarely the responsibility of the city … and the buck stops with her.
Of course, their ABC and fellow travellers, who were happily repeating the “I don’t hold a hose” line years later will give her a pass.
They will solemnly declare:-
1. It was climate change wot dun it;
2. Any criticism of the Licker Licencing Board at the LAFD is toxic masculinity; and
3. They will draw some tortuous and tenuous line back to Orange Hitler.

I don’t normally revel in other people’s misery or misfortune but I think I will make an exception for the Jew hating Mohamed Hadid and his sprogs, Bella and Gigi. No doubt the Hadids will blame us Jews for the mansion being burnt to the ground, it’s what they’ve always done.
Keep the Sheep protesters ambush Anthony Albanese in Alkimos as he announces new aquatic centre
?imwidth=110&impolicy=wan_v3
Jessica PageThe West Australian
Fri, 10 January 2025 9:14AM
Several “Keep the Sheep” protesters have crashed the last day of the WA leg of Anthony Albanese’s campaign-style tour across Australia as the live export ban looms as an election issue.
WA Farmers president John Hassell yelled “do you have the courage to talk to us” as Mr Albanese’s car passed.
The Prime Minister drove past the group of about 10 activists — without further interruption — to take part in a sod-turning ceremony to mark the start of construction of an $88 million dollar aquatic centre in Alkimos in Perth’s north.
“People who come in years to come will see this as a visionary project for this and future generations,” Mr Albanese said.
The project includes three indoor pools, a 50m outdoor pool, a gym and health spa.
“This will create, importantly, 250 jobs during construction but will create, once it’s complete, 42 ongoing jobs,” the Prime Minister said.
“So this is about the economy, but it’s also very much about how we do build Australia’s future, it’s about bricks and mortar.
Perhaps they should have stood in front of the Prime Ministerial Rolls Royce – if it’s good enough for Extinction Revelation, it’s good enough for us.

Then why should I fight for a people who regard themselves as too special to fight for themselves, and expect others to do it for them?
Look, I don’t give a damn what others throw up as excuses for me not fighting for the Australian Jews, because in the end it is Jews not fighting for themselves.
And I’m rapidly becoming contemptuous of people who won’t defend themselves and use as an excuse that it’s illegal.
?Illegal doesn’t stop the muslims does it?
Define ‘fight’, Winston?
It would be a shame if some IED’s went off in Lakemba. Fridays wouldnt be the same. While I have regret for innocent loss of life I’ll get over it in their case.
Any sign of resistance apart from whinging about how nobody is doing the fighting for them.
And yes, Bespoke, I know you’re fishing for a statement that will reflect badly in a legal sense on this Blogsite.

After the Great Hanshin Earthquake (I think also called the Kobe Earthquake?) in 1995 I heard the stories about people being trapped in collapsed buildings awaiting rescue (earthquakes come unexpected. And that one at a time before getting up) so I collected what I thought I would need if it happened again.
Among my supplies 6L of water (Oishii Mizu) and one bottle each of Wyndam Bin 444 Cabernet and Bin 555 Shiraz.
Over the coming months the proportions reversed until I had three bottles each of the reds and one bottle of Oishii Mizu.
It was at the point that I realised that I had accepted that the risk of Earthquake was not imminent.
(Apparently there was no record of an earthquake hitting the region so chances were -and are – that it takes a long time for stresses to build up enough. Kanto, on the other hand…)
A motorcycle helps.
My brother and SIL escaped Kobe to Osaka on his motorcycle by riding over the collapsed roofs of houses. He lost some friends.
Massive storm cell, red core built up over Highlands about 30km due east of Seymour spreading over Yea out to Alexandra. I can see the cloud towering here. Another cell also very visible by cloud tops towards Mt Disappointment. Have to be strong winds & hail in that. Flights climbing out of MEL that were audible all this morning now silent so obviously the tower at Tulla says stay away from the rough bits.
BOM, meh. No need for a storm warning.
I use the BoM radar – mainly because they don’t appear to have the technical nous to play with the returns.
Windy.com is so loaded with information it becomes unusable unless you’re a pilot. Even without all the overlays, the only thing I would use are the air pressure maps.

I am on a bus with a fierce horn being constantly applied driving to Jaipur. We were supposed to transfer to a train, but it was late, then cancelled. Che sera, sera, I sang arm in arm with a new girlfriend as we came out of tbe loo at this Maharaja’s heritage palace in the middle of nowhere, where we had lunch. She is one of a few new friends made on this trip. We are now passing a very colourful hand-pushed shrine being rolled along by 8 men in traditional dress on this crowded four lane desert highway where the variety of vebicles includes trucks, industrial farm equipment and a camel-drawn cart. We pass throuh broken-down villages an occasional towns, seeing more people in traditional dress, especially women and older people. Rubbish everywhere in fhe dust and any water pools are very filthy and stagnant. Life has its own way of going on here though on the old Moghul road between Agra and Jaipur.
Ps, we are all getting very convivial on this bus together for hours and hours.
The Aussies call the tour guide ‘V’ as his name is long and starts with a V. Hey V, one woman calls out now companionably – what town is this? as we drive through a bustle of shops like Old Delhi and look down a cross-street which forms a market which com petes with cars, trucks and a mass of seething humanity for space to move. The kindly and polite American physiotherapist always takes the seat at the front opposite him and asks serious questions, listening attentatively to his replies. But I think he really enjoys the Aussie informality.
There are 12 of us, including two teenagers wuth their parents. All Aussies except for two Amsrican women, of these two one is for Trump, the other not. Aussies keep off politics but internecine sporting differences based on State rivalries are well-aired.

Albanese thinks like a Soviet planner and as with the Soviets these state projects all come in over time and budget because the necessary materials and labour don’t magically appear in response to government fiat (the Russians had a cynical term for that, as they did for all of the failings of their system, but it presently escapes me).
Over time this misallocation of resources acts like an anchor on the productive sectors of the economy and drags our standard of living down.
