I was in hospital a few months ago, and one of my nurses was muslim. At one point she recited…
I agree yet another term of rainbow commos will kill me. I choose life.
They use it as a manual.
Racist!
I shouldn’t have bothered with this. Better things to do like how to take out a Hind without a missile launcher. Damn you Crysis, damn you to hell!
But … I’ve had enough of this crap and if they want some truth telling so be it.
Thirty Years Among The Blacks of Australia, by William T. Pyke.
When a woman became so old and decrepit as to trammel the movements of her husband’s tribe, she not infrequently received a quietus in the shape of a knock on the head with a waddy, just as we more civilized people kill a dog whose existence has become a misery to himself and an offence to us, or else was abandoned to her fate.*
…
[* Mr. Curr relates an instance which came under his own observation where the natives placed an old woman on a pile of wood, and then set fire to it, after doing which they all deserted the spot, and left the poor helpless old body to burn slowly to death.]
…
A woman’s place in the domestic economy of the blacks was to do as she was told and to ask no questions. When her lord and master went forth in all the dignity of his majestic manhood, carrying his weapons, which added not a little to his stately bearing, she humbly and laboriously followed, bowed down by the weight of the family chattels contained in a large grass bag slung across her shoulders.
…
Hard work and hard blows she received in abundance; her husband was sparing only in the amount or quality of food he allowed her. All the choicest portions he kept for himself and gorged to repletion. When he had had enough then his wife might have her share, if there was anything left for her to try her teeth upon. Consequent upon this ill-treatment, and the early age at which they were married, the women were for the most part undersized in proportion to the men, and soon lost the very slight pretentions to good looks ever possessed by them.
Well…that’s a cheerful “good morning”.
The noble savages. First nations. Bruce Pascoe’s structured villages.
Reality was a half-caste was dumped in a wombat hole and left to die.
And a cheery good morning to Mrs Pascoe too. How are you these days?
The description of the man and his wife fits exactly with scenes commonly observed in the PNG Highlands, perhaps even today.
It’s difficult to square this with the advanced civilisation William Pyke must have ignored as he went about his travels.
My late uncle “Went droving” out of Alice Springs in the late 1940’s. He described the hierarchy, in “the camps” when game was being cooked.
The men had first pick, the dogs were fed next, and the women and children “made do” with the scraps.
So much for the excuse that whiteys with their “colonialism” is why so many Aboriginal men bash, abuse, even kill their women.

Interesting detail in that cartoon:
The approaching boat has a tall-ish mast.
However, in the unlikely event you are ever allowed to see the typical country-shopper vessels, tall masts are distinctly absent.
Sane mariners, in “small” vessels have a reasonable mast. On this mast one may see all manner od radio and radar antenna setups..
At the very top will be something that looks like an oversized Christmas tree ornament. This is a RADAR REFLECTOR. It is there to bounce back a radar “blip” of much greater scale than a simple wooden boat would return. The idea is to be obvious to gigantic freighters and tankers romping along at 20 Knots plus, in busy sea ways. Navigation and riding lights on a “sneaky boat? Hardly likely.
The people smugglers are trying to AVOID detection mainly buy “over-enthusiastic” naval patrols.
The eally “good” bit is that once at sea, the boats, passengers and crew are entirely expendable..The loot has been paid by the “passengers. The boat owner has been appropriately paid, ditto the crew.
If the boat gets run down at night in a busy shipping lane by a speeding 80 thousand tonne tanker, who is to know? The impact would not register on the the ship’s crew. In the unlikely event some crewman were doing a “Titanic” right above the bow, would they give warning or just look the other way, rather than become involved in a time-consuming “inquiry”?
A thirty foot scow, cobbled together in a Pakistani “budget boatyard” will barely scuff the tanker’s anti-fouling paint as it slides under the ship..

Ucolta
A town I never heard of, What caught my eye was the invention originated from there, the Perkins Patent Bag lifter
————————–
Located ten kilometres east of Peterborough, the settlement of Ucolta was created as the railway line was being constructed towards Silverton.
The town flourished for decades with a school, church, post office and hall servicing local needs until the coming of the standard gauge railway.
The railway then bypassed Ucolta and the settlement went into demise. Ucolta was the birthplace in 1884 of the Perkins Patent Bag lifter, an affordable, simple, yet effective tool for loading carts and rail carriages.
About 1700 were constructed locally over twenty years prior to the patent becoming public, leading to mass production. Almost every farm and station possessed one.
There is no Wikipedia entry for Robert Perkins.
I find it strange that you are so antagonistic to my innocent posts.
There are many references to this invention.
Not on WIKI? So what?
Did it not happen?
Just to let you know Kevin, I look forward to your early morning posts.
A Bing search for the bag lifter brings up a thread on Newcatallaxy on 13th January 2025. We are being watched!

PARASITE PUTS PUPS IN PERIL
ISABELLA PESCH
7 Jan 2025
Hookworms have become increasingly resistant to dewormers across Australia, posing a health threat to dogs, new research has revealed.
Benzimidazole-based dewormers, one of the best methods for treating canine parasites, are at risk of losing their efficacy, with hookworms becoming more resistant to the treatment.
A University of Queensland study conducted in collaboration with the University of Sydney found that 70 per cent of hookworm samples studied showed genetic mutations that could cause drug resistance.
The gastrointestinal parasite lives inside a dog’s small intestine and feeds on blood, causes anaemia, diarrhoea and malnutrition. A hookworm infection can cause a dog to become extremely unwell and for puppies, it can be fatal.
The team used advanced parasitological diagnostics to examine samples from more than 100 animals in Australia and New Zealand.
University of Queensland veterinary expert Dr Swaid Abdullah advised pet owners to pick up after their dogs immediately, as stools were the main source of hookworm infection.
I have horses on my farm. They ALL have worms, its part of their ecosystem. Provided they have sufficient feed and good general health, they cope. They have immune defences which keep things manageable.
Can we see the study?
Can we find out who funded it?
Can it be replicated?
What was the previous level of ‘genetic mutations’?
…and there’s the emotional hook for all the owners of dogs and puppies.
Let me guess – the “New and Improved” dewormer gets infections down to 23.7%? And the cost? It’s probably 4 times more than the current Benzimidazole-based dewormers. But would you like your fluffy puppy to catch a parasite, and die, just to save a few pennies, would you, you puppy killers?
And this, Mr Pharmaceutical Industry, is what happens when you lose the trust of your customers.

The Tele’s editorial from BB’s post:
THE KIDS ARE ALL RIGHT WITH THE 26TH
New polling about Australia Day reveals that young people are warming to the idea – some 69 per cent of 18-24 year olds support keeping it on January 26.
Yet perhaps it should not be so surprising. With big corporations and institutions rubbishing Australia and her history, perhaps a bit of patriotism is all of a sudden cool. Globally, too, the left-wing elite consensus against national pride is also being shattered. Hand-wringing over our past may one day be a thing of the past.
Hows the shoulder BB? Last week I spraind my little toe. Its caused more pain than my recent heart surgery.
Shoulder is good now. Almost full range of motion with some physiotherapy. Still some work to do on it.
Good to hear.
I dont think its a ‘vibe shift’, I think it was always there, people have just stopped tolerating the BS anymore
… and the rejection of “ The Voice” aka racist House of Lords made millions of well adjusted patriotic Australians with functioning bullshit detectors realise they were not a tiny minority as suggested by the elite.

EXCLUSIVE – DANIELLE GUSMAROLI
13 Jan 2025
An anti-Israel activist who was part of a group that circulated the details of hundreds of Jewish people across the internet, has echoed a rallying cry for destruction on Australia Day, urging Australians to burn the national flag on “invasion day” and “f..k up … monuments to colonisation”.
Elsa Tuet-Rosenberg – one of many revealed last February to be among a group of prolific sharers of details of more than 600 Jewish creatives from a leaked private WhatsApp chat – has reposted a series of calls to boycott Australia Day in social media posts which say “It’s OK to resist a colonial force by any means necessary”.
Ms Tuet-Rosenberg reposted on her Instagram a message that read: “It’s just over two weeks until invasion day. Go and play snatch the flag. Burn them all.
“Someone go set fire to Cook’s Cottage. Go and destroy monuments to colonisation. All of them. Chop down their European trees. Set fire to their heritage sites. Behead their statues and topple themat their base.
“F..k up their dumb war memorials which glorify western imperialism while refusing to acknowledge the frontier wars. Universities, suburbs, streets, shops etc named after genocidal colonisers? F..k them up too!”
The Australian Jewish Association’s CEO Robert Gregory condemned the posts.
“This is a reminder that those who target the Jewish community and Israel also hate Australia,” he said. “We must all defend Western civilisation against those who seek to destroy it.”
What beats fear is bigger fear.
Bring back tarring and feathering and the stocks for these imbeciles.
A psychopath looking to get her rocks off. Mental hospital or prison material.
Sounds like incitement to commit criminal acts which I believe is a crime itself. Why aren’t police arresting and charging her?
Because she’s a half Chinese,Jewish, Aborigine lesbian.
It’s impossible to be that ridiculous.
Well, it was.
From Adelaide?
Yes, pyjama mum in Ballarat was arrested for far less during the Covid tyranny.
Indeed
Send the silly cow to live in a humpy in the bush with a 60 year old Aborigine.
Noble savages and all that.
Humpy is too luxurious. A piece of corrugated iron is more “in country”.
Just what I thought!
Suspended sentence, on that condition.
A punishment that fits the crime perfectly. Would prove educational for the silly – no, evil – creature.
Rosenberg???
Andrew Bolt:
Would I get $50 to have my input in saying shut it down and fire everyone involved in this “treaty’ process?
The government hates you for voting against the Voice referendum and are actively showing that contempt with these bribes.
No doubt payment of a welcome to country as well, taxpayers slugged say $3k per meeting. Farketh me sideways.
Bitterly disappointed, Penny Wong, aka Benny Wonk the Jew and Australia hating Foreign Minister and Kevni Krudd will be attending The Donald’s inauguration. Who amongst us would have thought we could have had a worse FM than “what a brilliant idea, Julie Bishop”. In a hold my beer moment Wonk stepped up to the plate.
Don’t worry, they’ll mistake Wong for one of the lesbians from LA Fire Department.
Tuet-Rosenberg
Professional activist and race baiter and B-Ark operative.
I can see that the most energetic “work” she would engage in is burning stuff down and demolition. Building requires intelligence and application.
And her honours thesis was about herself. Narcissist.
An arse kicking needs to be administered to it until its nose bleeds.
Notice how unis cosset this poisonous trash.
It can’t be easy to confront the truth that you are a talentless, unattractive parasite. Helping such people deceive themselves is the principal function of the contemporary university.
I don’t think she is unattractive – most unlike most radical leftists of the sapphic persuasion.
I think she is smart and suspect she has carefully structured a corporate entity to be a non profit grant refiner turning out tax free income dollars.
The outrageous press release is just advertising/cv buffing/ moral grandstanding –
like that we endured from that rancid blimp, Onus Williams, a couple of Australia Days ago.
Re Wong & Krudd.
Inaugurations are all about where you sit.
How close & who sits closer to the action.
I’d love if some punter from Greenland gets a better seat than Krudd.
Or if Krudd is sat next to some country his snobbiness deems to be of lower status.
I don’t think these grandstanders have thought this one through.
And President Trump is not the sort of person who will take his ill humour out on Australia – just the ideologues that crept out of the litter box and into power.
Ms Tuet-Rosenberg reposted on her Instagram a message that read: “It’s just over two weeks until invasion day. Go and play snatch the flag. Burn them all.

Thanks Beertruk however there’s actually more in the Telegraph piece on ‘Tuet-Rosenberg‘ that’s worth noting and is perhaps more important. It confirms my comment last night about how taxpayers are unwittingly funding woke far-left Nazi scum like Tuet-Rosenberg and her ilk.
Here’s more of the Tele piece on the far-left Nazi cockroach……
In November Ms Tuet-Rosenberg’s company Hue: Colour the Conversation, an anti-racism advisory business she co-owns and co-founded, was dropped from facilitating a training event advertised by North Sydney Council after the Daily Telegraph alerted the council of her involvement.
It came after Executive Council of Australian Jewry had denounced the involvement of the anti-racism firm “a sick joke” and had called for it to be dropped from the event.
The Mayor of North Sydney Zoë Baker later announced the morning workshop would no longer run after discussions with CEOs of North Sydney Council, which was promoting the event.
The workshop was to focus on shared language and understanding racism, help equip attendees with skills to tackle racism and deliver “meaningful” anti-racism work, and discuss the impacts of racism on First Nations people and people of colour.
Elsa Tuet-Rosenberg is the co-founder of racial and social justice organisation Hue. I advise that the event has been cancelled,” the Mayor of North Sydney Council, Zoe Baker said in an email to a resident.
“I have asked Council’s CEO to review grant assessment procedures to ensure that this does not happen again and that any procurement includes due diligence on any provider.”
“Finally, I apologise for the distress and hurt that this has caused.
Like other far-left Nazis, Elsa Tuet-Rosenberg and her Nazi ilk have been empowered by naive and idiotic state, federal and local governments (of all political persuasions) along with woke corporations and large businesses. I doubt very much if the cancelled North Sydney gig was Tuet-Rosenberg’s first or last gig. Until governments, businesses and corporations get serious about pulling funding from scum like Tuet-Rosenberg absolutely nothing will change.
The positive is that prior to October 7 and the failed Voice referendum such funding of scum like ‘Elsa’ would have gone under the radar, at least the scab has now been ripped off but that’s not enough, it’s time time to now cauterise the wound that is woke funding.
Chop down their European trees.
She’s an environmentalist too. Weirdo.
I suppose there’s method in her madness though. Eucs cause bigger and better fires.
As I have said before, the vast majority of self-declared “anti-racists” are actually racists of the worst kind.
If she’s going to target colonialism in full, then she should be consistent and begin with everything that was ceated during the goldrush by colonial Chnese. Lots of stuff to target there, especially in Viktoriastan around Bendigo and Beachworth.
Nice.

Did she consider the trauma suffered by those who survived some of the worst excesses of the NVA and the Viet Cong?
No. “Her Cause is Just”.

AUSTRALIANS KNOW WE ARE WORTH CELEBRATING
DANIEL – WILD
13 Jan 2025
Every year in January Australians are subjected to the usual hand-wringing about our national day.
The activist class and inner-city elites hold that Australia, our culture, and history, is not worth remembering, much less celebrating. To them, January 26 is a day of mourning, invasion, dispossession, and violence.
But this year is a little different. The vibe and energy around Australia Day have shifted. Mainstream Australians – the silent majority – have had a gutful of being put upon by the out-of-touch activists, and are now clearly making their voices heard.
It started last year, when Woolworths announced it would not be stocking Australia Day-themed merchandise on its shelves. The stated reason was that the day “means different things to different people”.
The backlash was immediate and fierce, with calls for a boycott of the supermarket giant ultimately leading to the premature departure of then-chief executive Brad Banducci.
A similar scenario played out in the weeks leading up to Christmas, when the foreign-owned Australian Venue Co., which runs more than 200 pubs across Australia, said their venues would not be celebrating or even recognising Australia Day. Again, confronted with strong pushback, Australian Venue Co. backed down within 24 hours.
Big corporates, sporting codes, and civic institutions now need to think twice before they seek to cancel our national day.
New polling commissioned by the Institute of Public Affairs shows a dramatic surge in support for celebrating Australia Day on January 26, with some 69 per cent Australians backing our national day, up from 63 per cent last year, and just 14 per cent opposed.
Critically, this surge in support is being driven by young Australians aged 18-24.
In the survey undertaken 12 months ago, just 42 per cent of those in this age bracket said they supported celebrating Australia Day on January 26.
This year, that number skyrocketed 10 points to 52 per cent.
That a majority of young Australians are confident to support our national day, despite years of indoctrination at school, university, and in the media, shows how strong and deep the vein of patriotism is among the next generation.
The reason for these strong results is that Australians understand that if we do not fight for our values, our culture, and our way of life, we will lose them.
We celebrate Australia Day on the January 26 because that is the day that modern Australia commenced. The First Fleet arrived not just with prisoners from Great Britain, but also with a rich intellectual and moral cargo of the ideals developed in the Judaeo-Christian tradition, and forged through the Enlightenment. These include parliamentary democracy, liberty, fairness, tolerance, and individual rights.
None of this is to minimise, much less deny, the real hardship and violence which many Indigenous Australians experienced at the hands of some colonists.
Rather, it is to say that now, more than at any time since World War II, we must as a nation unite around our shared values, which speak to all Australians regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, or gender.
And we must remember that the true history of Australia is how a small group of disparate, inwardlooking penal colonies set up by Britain on the other side of the world overcame hardship and division to become among the most tolerant and fair-minded of nations.
We are the people who went further than any other in establishing the rule of law and equality before the law.
Just four months after the very first Australia Day in 1788, two lowly convicts won the right to sue their ship’s captain, a legal entitlement not available to any other individual in a comparable position anywhere else in the world at that time.
We are the people who as far back as 1836 made critical advances in religious tolerance, when NSW governor, Sir Richard Bourke, established the Church Act which provided funding for Catholic and Protestant churches on an equal basis at a time when sectarian conflict was rife.
We are the people who invented the secret ballot in 1853, which meant that everyday Australians could vote without being intimidated by wealthy landowners or union officials.
We are the people who, by a margin of 90-10, said “Yes” to removing divisive references to race in the Australia’s Constitution in 1967, in a watershed moment for racial equality.
And we are the people who, in 2023, voted to keep it that way, with 60 per cent of Australians opposing the reinsertion of racial separatism into our Constitution.
These are the reasons why we celebrate Australia Day on January 26. Long may that continue.

“The Wrath of the Awakened Saxon” by Rudyard Kipling
It was not part of their blood, It came to them very late, With long arrears to make good, When the Saxon began to hate.
They were not easily moved, They were icy — willing to wait Till every count should be proved, Ere the Saxon began to hate.
Their voices were even and low. Their eyes were level and straight. There was neither sign nor show When the Saxon began to hate.
It was not preached to the crowd. It was not taught by the state. No man spoke it aloud When the Saxon began to hate.
It was not suddenly bred. It will not swiftly abate. Through the chilled years ahead, When Time shall count from the date That the Saxon began to hate.
See also:
“The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of “Men who wanted to be left Alone”.
They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love.
They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it.
They know, that the moment they fight back, the lives as they have lived them, are over.
The moment the “Men who wanted to be left Alone” are forced to fight back, it is a small form of suicide. They are literally killing off who they used to be. . . .
Which is why, when forced to take up violence, these “Men who wanted to be left Alone”, fight with unholy vengeance against those who murdered their former lives. They fight with raw hate, and a drive that cannot be fathomed by those who are merely play-acting at politics and terror. TRUE TERROR will arrive at the Left’s door, and they will cry, scream, and beg for mercy . . . . but it will fall upon deaf ears.”

Was Bogart really of Saxon blood? After all, he said he worked the Angles?
So Wong’s off to the inauguration. She could drop by and see how the boss ladies are doing in LA. Similar results to her foreign minister achievements.
Rudd and Wong really should visit LA on the return, since it’s an easy stop on their way via LAX.
They might learn something about the danger of bushfires, the necessity of fuel reduction burning and properly resourcing firefighters.
They won’t learn, they can’t learn. Their ideological blinkers demand “they reject the evidence of their eyes and ears. It is the Party’s final, most essential command.”By golly, that seems familiar.
PARASITE PUTS PUPS IN PERIL
Dogs are the number one source of urban noise pollution. They shit anywhere, cause numerous hospital admissions by attacking children and other people and even kill people (one such happened 300 meters from our house about 20 years ago). They also cause huge losses to Australian agriculture.
It needs to be made MUCH more difficult to own a dog, akin to what is done to guns which at least don’t take it in their non existent minds to attack people or bark uselessly for hours on end. Filthy things, dogs. The Mussies have that right.
Can’t wait for your opinion of cats Eyrie.
Dergs are wonderful beasts. But I do have reservations about some of their owners.
Anyone who hates dogs is suss.
Siding with muzzies about it is beyond the pail.
Adam Britton a mate of yours?
If I can’t have a shotgun to defend my life and property, why should I be allowed to own a dog for the same purpose?
Nevertheless, some dog owners shouldn’t be allowed to own them without a psychiatric review first.
Confirmed.

Meanwhile in Airstrip One, one Labour MP has gone against the will of the Party and called for a national inquiry.
His seat is solidly red, but the demographics tell a story.
It’s amusing to watch all the “fact checking” surrounding Trump’s comments about the Cali fires.
There are pages of it, should you wish to look.
Like all the squawking “activism”, ordinary people are over it. The fact of the matter is that the infrastructure was not fit for purpose, despite years of requests and promises and money set aside to make improvements. For some strange reason water doesn’t flow uphill. This appears to be news to some. Regardless of where the water is stored, it needs to be pumped to maintain pressure. For pumping you need electricity.
Unicorn farts and wishful thinking just won’t do it, unfortunately.
Trump said something about “raking the forest floor” to reduce fuel loads. Apparently this is ridiculous to his critics. In Australia, it’s called “hazard reduction”. It’s another “bleach” moment, when idiots swallow camels while straining out gnats.
On another forum I mentioned that it takes up to seven years for the US Forest Service to get a permit to do a single fuel reduction burn.
Someone replied saying they should use goats. I thought that was fun since you’d have to have an absolute horde of goats wandering all over upmarket LA and Malibu…
Still it’d give the illegal immigrants a good source of protein I guess.

Sounds like incitement to commit criminal acts which I believe is a crime itself. Why aren’t police arresting and charging her?
A good question. When will the police pay this far-left Nazi skank a courtesy call? Now imagine, for one sweet second, if this was some ‘far-right’ person making violent threats? I suspect he or she would already be in custody.
Or DEAD. (Resisting arrest can get “untidy”, sometimes / often.)
@DerrickEvans4WV
Arson is NOT climate change.
The source of ignition is irrelevant, the LA hills are covered in Eucalypts and Chapparal, both of which have fire as part of their natural life cycles. If arson didnt start it, lightning or some other source would have. The reason this fire is so destructive is a combination of 1) Poor forest management 2) Insufficient infrastructure 3) Insufficient personal protective actions taken (most of the houses have pools, how many have diesel pumps and sprinklers? 4) Building close packed suburbs immediately adjacent bush and downwind of the worst fire weather 5) Mandatory evacuations – this 10xs your risk of house loss in a bushfire.
The grampians fires were 7x bigger than the LA fires, yet only a handful of houses were lost – why is that? – its because we didnt have thousands of houses built immediately to the E of the national park.

Gavin Newsom is deleting all Instagram comments on his official government account with the word “resign.” His COVID playbook has been resurrected to illegally censor and label any criticism as “misinformation.”
The common descriptor in the Arab world to describe Jews is the word ‘dog‘.
On the weekend, a house in Sydney’s Queens Park was vandalised with the words…….’f*ck Jews” and ‘Dog2‘.
I think we can safely assume the religious ideology of the perpetrators. It wasn’t some Hindu or Buddhist or Satanist. But we can’t say we weren’t warned, on Monday night 9 October 2023 to be precise, whilst NSWaffen Plod stood and watched, that told us that they were going to…….
‘f*ck the Jews’
‘where’s (find) the Jews’
‘gas the Jews’
They’ve honoured the first two threats, now there’s just one more to go, you see, they mean what they say.
As an aside, dogs are held in contempt in the Muslim world, which tells us a lot about Islam and Muslims. I’m more than happy to be compared to perhaps God’s most noble creature, the domesticated canine.
“tells us a lot about Islam and Muslims”.
And this Eyrie weirdo.
Dergs are wonderful beasts. But I do have reservations about some of their owners.
Exactly.

The reservoir has been empty as of February of last year and no one told the fire department?
And the woman they promoted and pay 750,000 dollars per year to handle that has a job?
How?
Bad Cattitude explains how – this is the culmination of transitioning (snigger) a society built upon, and reliant upon, merit, to one now run by 2nd and 3rd rate bureaucrats who actively eliminate competence from their organisations to hide their own shortcomings.
https://boriquagato.substack.com/p/a-crisis-of-competence
the same story applies for medicine, aviation, power grid management etc etc etc. When you replace merit with anything else, it takes a while to burn through the institutional competence, but when you do, it all falls apart, ‘slowly then all at once’, Hemingway style.

Stealing money from people who have lost their homes and possessions through abrogating his own responsibilities is a very clear indicator he is not mentally capable to hold his position.
Lying that he is talking to the President when confronted by a citizen is part of the deceptive aspect. Blaming everyone else for the problem is also part of the mental disorder.
He’s a fruitloop.

(A hypersonic missile is just a ballistic missile with better heat ablation, since they naturally go at hypersonic velocity anyway.)
Interesting you say that, BoN. A hypersonic missile only needs to lose a small amount of its heat shield and its own speed will destroy it, is my thinking.
This makes them quite vulnerable to laser defences which can be powered up faster than the heat shields which can be thickened – at the expense of payload and manoeuvrability.
The main advantages of extreme high speed (think Mach 10) with these missiles are
1) high kinetic energy on impact
2) very short detection/engagement times …. your defences not only have a difficult physics problem to solve to hit the incoming hypersonic, they also have a very short time to do it in.

DD: “Ah ha! Pronoun trouble. It’s not “he doesn’t have to shoot YOU now”, it’s “he doesn’t have to shoot ME now”. Well I say he does have to shoot me now. So shoot me now!”
Predictable outcome follows.
See? Pronouns were an issue for Daffy as well, although I suspect it had nothing to do with which change rooms he used.

But nobody was buying it.
Dergs are wonderful beasts. But I do have reservations about some of their owners.
No bad dogs.
Only bad owners.
I guess the dogs that attacked my sheep and were treated with solution 243 had bad owners.
What a cop out.
They had working dogs that attacked live stock?
That’s some terrible training right there.
Were they registered or wild dogs?
Too many years ago I had to go through some new suburbs and then past 5 farms with sheep to get to my workplace. If I, or some workmates saw any dogs on any of the small farms we rang this farmer and told him. Some time later he’d be out shooting foxes. Domestic dogs and sheep – you know the rest.
Is that like ‘rule 303’ … asking for a historian friend
Dogs like every other animal can have personality disorders. Even the best trained can have a bad day.
This is why Kristi Noem was unfairly criticised for shooting one of her dogs.
If you have a working dog that demonstrates it can’t be trained the only thing you can do is put it down.
It can’t be rehomed and made a companion.
Nonsense.
The Americans are even rehoming dogs saved from fighting rings.
Which have killed several people over the last few years.
Unless a dog is a genuine working dog, they need to be de-territorialised for their first six months.
And de-sexed.
Do that & the next decade plus is a cake walk.
Absolutely.

So; how are we traveling,here in the penal colonies?
Badly, Bruce.
Not allowed to point out, on the Oz website that the oldest living culture is not the Indigenous, but that of the San Bushmen of Southern Africa.
That’s because it’s an Article of Faith in the new Religion of Woke.
Orwell imagined it. We’re living it.
If ever time machines became a reality, I’d like to see some of those who have a fetish for indigenous culture sent back to experience it first-hand…in all its primitive purity, unalloyed by contact with a superior culture.
I suspect they wouldn’t last 48 hours before crying, “I’m a Westerner, get me out of here!”
No need to send them back in time, just send them to Wadeye for 48 hours. And NOT in the fenced area.
They’ll just claim it’s the deleterious impact of the white man.
So why is is ‘our ‘ABC idolising first peoples?
I suspect that the San are a lot closer to their original culture than 99% of Australian “indigenes”.
Wadeye and like places are not like the original culture, which seems to have been more brutal.
Anthropology sucks. In the good ol’ days of usenet I raised the San culture issue on sci.anthropology but even there, a forum populated by specialists, it was not well received.
It isn’t just in Australia. When Chagnon published his findings on the violence within the Yanomamo he was pilloried by the anthropology community. That same community accepted Mead’s fairy tale account of sexuality in Samoa, which played a role in promoting the sexual revolution of the 60’s. The American Indians are portrayed in a ridiculously romantic way, ignoring the fact that they also had black slaves and constantly fought with each other.
You have to question Trump’s decision to visit California.
Desperate Newsom and his dykes will use the visit as an endless source of gotcha moments.
Perhaps he should hold a rally.

If we ever get to colonise another planet, I hope we bring dogs and horses along …and cats to keep them all in line.
Just censor out any ‘cute dogs’ …. cute owl style!
Dergs are wonderful beasts. But I do have reservations about some of their owners.
You’ve hit the nail on the head, calli. Which is why dog owners should be licenced, undergo a training course and sign the dog up to a dog obediance course. They can also be trained not to bark.
I hate it when dog owners bark.
Don’t start me.
Dogs also have zero loyalty to their owners. If re homed they just move in and are happy. We looked after a cavoodle for 9 days for friends. Damn thing just moved right in and slept on the end of our bed. Wasn’t worried by the change of location and people at all.
Wrong.
With a previous girlfriend we bought a pound hound in 1989. We split two years later.
He lived to be over 18.
For his entire life, whenever he saw a fat bottomed figure in the distance that could be mistaken for the ex, his tail would wag, he would pull on the lead and his ears would almost jump off his head. Then as the figure approached and he realised it wasn’t her, he would slump in a way that broke my heart.
You’re a good owner. Mine is also relaxed about vacations.
As opposed to a cat obedience course – oh, hang on. There’s no such thing because cats are malicious, furry, uncaring bird killers with no instinct for obedience or being helpful for anything but itself.
It will be a cold, cold day in Hell before we see blind people being assisted going down the street and in their daily lives by guide cats.
Yes, they aren’t slaves or serfs.
bollocks. Cats are easily trained.
Correct.
For a year now, Elsie has ignored me when I took dinner in to the office. Then one day I gave her a bit of sausage meat, and she’s followed me in every time. Same with defrosting them from the freezer – if she sees me lifting out a certain shaped package from the “Big White Box Of Heavenly Delights”, she sits beside her bowl because she knows sooner or later lovely meat will arrive on her “Offerings From The Big Two Legs” pad.
Roger is going to be furious when he finds out that she loves Cointreau – after the alcohol has mostly evaporated.
Dogs have owners.
Cats have staff.
If you want a pet, get a male dog, or a female cat – those are the best “match”.
Female dogs and male cats are nowhere near as good.

I’d made a wrong turn and ended up on Parramatta rd. Turned into the markets to check my phone for directions. As I waited to pull out a semi stopped, driver gave a whistle to a dog on the other side of the road. Dog runs across the road and jumps into the open door. Days later listening to 2GB a guy rings up and relates a story how they’d moved to Newcastle I think, and the dog took off back to their old house confirmed by new owners but hadn’t been able to grab the dog. He said he saw it outside the markets on Parramatta rd. Reunited after years missing.

Telescopic violence, much like telescopic philanthropy is the refuge of the weak and mentally ill.
Being a coastal town we have a pretty much continuous stream of non-working young blokes who hang around doing a little dealing and stealing until the police move them on.
They like having big mean dogs (mine’s bigger than yours) that are often stolen from properties where they go illegal shooting.
The problem for our RSPCA is that when the ‘rsoles are booted out they dump their dogs.
It is amazing how often the RSPCA tracks down the original owners.
Poor beasts, it is disturbing to see a huge pig dog howling in terror when locked away in its cage.
We didn’t allow dogs on our property because of the snakes and thick scrub but plenty of folks in the district had dogs stolen and were woken by shooting. Stay inside was the police rule. How did they source and afford the ammunition?
Bons:
Apparently when a gun owner loses their licence, all their ammo is confiscated as well.
Consider that a box of 20 x .308 Federal rounds currently sells at $60, it is a worthy quiet sale to mates who don’t want to ask too many questions about where they came from.
I trust they report their income from dealing to Centrelink.

They were a bit discombobulated over the first few days, but a coherent cover story is now emerging:
One. Nothing could have stopped the fires with the conditions last week.
Two. The reservoirs were full. Really they were.
Three. The empty hydrants couldn’t supply enough water because they weren’t designed that way anyway, stupid.
Four. Trump divisive when what we need is everyone behind the Calli leadership.
Five. What’s this nonsense about a fish? Smelt? Never heard of it.
And, they have the gall to pull out the old “misinformation” line.

Lisa Wilkinson reportedly has plans to launch an exciting new career in 2025, over two years after her shock exit from The Project in November 2022.
The veteran TV presenter is said to have her sights on stepping into the world of politics.
‘She’s 65 and ready for a new challenge – to try her hand in politics. She’s always had a keen interest in being on the front foot to her local community,’ a close friend allegedly told Woman’s Day magazine.
‘She may well just run for a seat in the upcoming election.’
It comes after Lisa recently shared a cryptic post to social media revealing she was ready for ‘new beginnings’.
Her multi-year contract lapsed on New Year’s Eve and wasn’t renewed.

A minor travel report from Mrs TE in nearby New Zealand, sailing out of Auckland:
Hello from a NZ/Oz Viking Orion double cruise – our first working one with this company. We did an excellent Barcelona-Athens one in 2023, focussed on Italy and Greece. Can recommend.
Overwhelmingly Americans onboard. We like the Viking line – calm, interesting clientele, very good food, wines with meals, one free excursion each port, Scandinavian decor, small ship of 900 people, no casino/photographers/kids.
Weather sunny in low 20’s. Perfect for touristing.
First stop Auckland. TE went sailing onboard an ex-Americas Cup yacht – by all accounts a thrill. 21 metres long, and one of the training boats from the NZ defence of the only time they won the Cup. A nice business plan: crew of five with most of the passengers having to help out with the winches. A very brisk day out on the harbour and the yacht got up to 14 knots for a while – really moving with the lee rail almost in the water and a few tourists looking alarmed…
Second port – Tauranga. Small van trip to near Rotorua to walk through the rainforest viewing thermal activity, following by a lake cruise to view remnants of the Pink and White Terraces. An important tourist attraction and considered the 8th Wonder of the World, these silica deposits were buried in the 1886 eruption of Mt Tarawera.
We finished off with a quick visit to a British redoubt (a small defensive position) in Auckland, which sheltered several hundred women and children in a time of turmoil in the 19th century.

No, customs was cleared on both but Austpost performed where the other Aus company failed big time.

I don’t know how anyone would risk re-building when you can’t get insurance.
JC, it’s frustrating, but re-establishing civilisation after a period of lawlessness necessarily occurs almost in slow motion. It starts with citizens voting for Republican reformers to dismantle the lawless Democratic state government and reinstate competitive markets for items like insurance.
It will take years, but the citizenry has seen the Dems in government and they’ve had a gutful. I think the correction will take about a decade — and the correction is irreversible.
aka ‘things have to get worse before they can get better’
Watch for the same scam here ….
1) make insurance more expensive by implementing policies that increase risk (think poor forest management, laws against clearing your own properties, building codes that increase risk etc)
2) ‘Community rate’ risk so the prudent cross insure the imprudent – think medicare
3) cap premiums so insurers cant raise premiums to reflect actual risk – ie leave the market
4) mandate insurance as a condition of living there – either as part of a mortgage contract, rates notice etc etc
5) LIHOP the inevitable big fire
6) introduce ruinous new building codes to prevent re building
7) move all affected into safe 15m cities
8) transfer the land to the elites…

I just caught the end of it so I don’t know if they managed to condemn Australia twice – once for that, because it might offend gays, even though most gays would only pretend offence. Secondly, did they get to decry the banning of Djokovic over the COVID vaccination thing, which saw him banned? Definitely one of those “two red button” issues.

We stopped over in LA about a decade ago and traveled around a bit. The Pacific Palisades area seemed like heaven on earth. The weather was gorgeous—not too hot because of the sea breeze. It was possibly one of the nicest places on earth to live. The village was just beautiful. And now, the left has totally ruined the place.
I suppose Californians are in on it too, but not all of them. Newsom and his ilk need serious jail time. Enough of these incompetent arseholes
Imagine that insurance companies walked because of government regulations and failure to upkeep the natural environment. It’s incomprehensible how criminally incompetent they’ve been.
In Melbourne terms, it would be like our leafy eastern burbs like Hawthorn, Camberwell and Kew were taken out.
There have been a few stories about the California insurance market. I understand it was about price controls and risk. A lot of companies just walked and people could only get basic last resort cover with some State government insurer. The insurance equivalent of an Australian car worker.
Newsome seems more interested in making California a haven for illegal immigrants and climate change grifters than a good place for the locals.
Nothing he’s said or done since the fires suggests he has learned a thing.
No wonder many people who have never lived in or fled California think it is now a shithole.
Imagine that insurance companies walked because of government regulations and failure to upkeep the natural environment. It’s incomprehensible how criminally incompetent they’ve been.
Green policies magnified the risk, and when the insurance companies noticed, and tried to raise prices commensurate, a state law capped increases to a level that made the policies uneconomic – another example of ‘price controls create shortages, not cheaper goods’
From the OOT:
This is hilarious. Apparently, you’ve never heard of referencing Western sources in order to criticize this or that Western policy position.
If Trump has nothing to offer then there will be no ceasefire and the war will continue to its conclusion.
Nothing those guys said indicated it would be over in weeks which is why you cobbled together a series of quotes that could only, at best, ‘indicate’, ‘suggest’, ‘imply’. Weak. An entire line of argument confected by the Regime to propagate a narrative for Western consumption.
A distinction without a difference. The ‘stalemate’ malarky was another line confected by the Regime to placate the deteriorating morale of NATO supporters disheartened by the abject failure of the ’23 counteroffensive. The position of Ukraine right now is such that the US wants it to sacrifice its 18-25 years, which it has precious few of.
Why does our economy reward these toxic meja parasites by making them obscenely wealthy?
Maybe the death of the legacy meja will put an end to it.
From the OOT:
Let’s recap. The US has 2 diesel powered icebreakers. Russia has an active fleet of 30 diesel and 7 nuclear icebreakers, and is building and launching more currently. Russia currently has the strategic edge in the Arctic given its Arctic bases across a significant portion of the Arctic circle, its icebreaker fleet, etc. The comments about ships in dry docks, etc. are pure guff. Therefore, nothing about RWA’s comment was wrong.
Music to my ears.
Yeah, download that propaganda faster than ever!
But we don’t have free speech in this country. So what do you use the upload rate for? It just reminds me of the interview scene in the Matrix.
Tell me, misterrrr Anderrrsonnn, what good is an NBN if you cannot speak?
Futile waste of taxpayers’ money.
Telstra joins Optus with Starlink ‘straight-to-mobile’ deal (10 Jan)
Elon Musk, the man with ideas to change the world. Donald John Trump, the man with enough spine to change the world. What a time to be alive.
An honest worker in the Telstra shop told me NOT to go with Telstra Starlink as they throttle it… go direct to Musk
I’ve not commented here before although I’ve occasionally lurked. Mostly you’re quite sensible so I’ve chosen to reply on this topic, and this topic is critically important.
Here you’ve missed the point, I think.
Late last year 2024, legislation went through both Houses preparing the ground for the Feds to sell the NBN (at least a majority sale). Connecting fibre to the house from the node, as long and cack-handedly as that may take, is designed to sweeten the sale pot.
WHO is likely to be the successful buyer of this monopoly business ? Why, good old TELSTRA.
Within 6-12 months of that transaction, monthly prices will be doubled, tripled for regional customers, “budget” speeds halved, cheap internet connected domestic phone calls back to old Telstra prices and time limited, download sizes and speeds limited by subscription prices, constant streaming subject to a new sub price menu … and these new prices/rules will be constantly upchanged every 12 months.
I live in a regional area about an hour out from Sydney’s outer suburbs. Up to the advent of the NBN (which I regard as the only useful thing Turnbull ever did) Telstra refused to lease some its’ DSLAMS capability here to internet providers beyond ADSL2. If one wanted ADSL2+, even then that was charged to us at almost $1000 per month for a monthly limit of 25Gb. The NBN provided enormous relief from this tyranny – for $70/month unlimited downloads at 60MBPS, uploads at lesser but still useful speeds, domestic phone both landline and mobile for a flat $10/month, no streaming restrictions.
I’m well aware that some contributors here think regional populations don’t deserve any consideration. Well, so ?
And this will suit Government. They cop a big chunk of moola and drop constant expenditure, plus the blog criticisms of “our gov” slowly die down as the new restrictions and costs wedge themselves in.
Regional people still won’t get high speed internet even with Albo’s latest sugar hit. It just can’t deal with distance, remoteness and low population. I doubt the changes will come near you.
regions ASOOL. Might as well focus on starlink than the NBN. And yeah, don’t go through Telstra. Go direct and wait for the base stations to be on sale.
as an aside, 250Mbps is plenty for home use with say, three teenagers and mum and dad. That’s what Starlink gives you You can’t tell the difference at higher speeds, even though I have had 1Gbps. 250 speed saves $10 a month, small, but watch pennies…. It seems most of the population is happy with 50 Mbps price point (around $85), which is the lowest on offer these days.
NBN continues the myth that keeps if off the Cth balance sheet and budget.
A friend looked at starlink from Telstra. Down loads are evidently limited. Wonder if that’s to help nbn?
I linked that story only because if Telstra and Optus are going over to Starlink then it means NBN is a dead dinosaur.
Nothing is stopping anyone from buying a Starlink plan direct from Elon of course. Data rates and reliability are pretty good apparently, if not up to fibre levels.
See above, but I was recently told (quietly) by a worker in the Telstra shop that they couldnt improve my NBN so i needed Starlink, but NOT through Telstra as they throttle it – go direct to Musk
Till Starlink used wireless modems.
Never been on the NBN.
Don’t forget the Kruddster said we could download movies in seconds. My old laptop with XP loads faster than my pc with W10.
Dont tell Albo, but my Starlink arrived at the PO today …and I wasnt the only one, and its a *very* small town. We all know its shite
Starlink will be fully operational well before this nonsense is implemented. But just like the desal white elephants we will be required to fund endless union goons to maintain a network that nobody wants.
Starlink has pretty much 100% geographic cover over Oz now, although marked as ‘sold out’ around Perth and Bris

The Chinese are still using that fuel mix for Long March 2. It causes large amounts of NOx gas fumes, and the launch vehicle has a tendency to
landplummet onto the peasants below.eeehh.. there are plenty more peasants.
That fuel/oxidiser is hypergolic. Just mix and it catches fire. Nice in some circumstances and storable at room temperature.
On the Apollo ascent module the last ditch “let’s get out of here” was turn two taps on and the motor would run. After TLI from Earth all of Apollo was that fuel combination or one of the slight variations.
IIRC, the Germans used a similar mixture in the Me 163 rocket.
A couple of ground loops during testing and jellied pilots.
I do hope Bezos’s rocket at least puts the payload in orbit.
This is a competition between the old space way of doing things – test lots of components, analyse the design to death and after many years, hopefully fly successfully and the Musk approach of build it quick, fly it, if it breaks redesign and fly again in short order. I do prefer the Musk approach.
Live telecast was due to start 10 minutes ago. Waiting, waiting. No updates on Blue Origin’s twitter or website. YT says “Waiting for Blue Origin”.
Not yet as slick as SpaceX, who can do a show like real professionals.
We have some action! So maybe the launch is still on.
Coverage starts! Half an hour late, that’s fine. Launch window is three hours, and first launches are worth a wait.
Two beautiful ladies, and no woke.
Swapping to the Blue Origin website feed because YouTube has really irritating subtitles. Grr.
Impressed with the Blue Origin ladies, headed by a VP called Ariane Cornell.
They were suddenly hit by an unexpected 15 minute delay…yawning gap to somehow fill! One of the fun things was they had a glass window behind them, and you could see the teleprompter lines reflected in it! But they’ve coped with delays very well with impromptu stuff. It’s nice to see these ladies do their work well.
Delayed another 20 minutes. Launch window must be getting tight.
Beautiful ladies heroically filling in time with bathroom breaks.
Another 20 minute delay.
I doubt the birdie is going to get off tonight.
But it’s fun to watch the gorgeous ladies flex with all this. They’re very good.
Looks like they’ve scrubbed.

Well it was all fun to watch. Better luck next time Blue Origin peoples!

You’d be found quoting Satan’s tweets if its supportive of the Axis. If it doesn’t, your usual sneering, dismissive comment is that it’s just Western intel propaganda. It’s only propaganda when it doesn’t support your bias.
And every one of those regimes you’ve supported is run by stone-cold killers. At every opportunity, you’ve gone against the West.

If it came to a crunch, NATO has about 20 at its disposal. If the US and Russia were in a state of war, it would mean NATO is triggered. In any event, if the US needs those cutters, it would ask and get them.

Why does he have a surgical mask under his chin? What is going on in California? Even the critics seem to be nuts.
That’s not James Woods; I don’t know who that dude is.
Chuckle.. I know what James Woods looks like! I was just wondering about the mask.
Calli, they’re wearing them because of the ash.
This is not simply negligence. This is criminal negligence. The DEI vermin responsible for this travesty must be indicted for a catastrophic failure of unimaginable magnitude.
And who is going to arrest them?
This government won’t. Nero Newsome’s government won’t.
Make a Class Action suit with the aim being not compensation, but punishment and gaol. Otherwise they’ll do it again and again and again.
Thanks Winston.
JC, do you ever read your own comments? I posted a response to FTB’s comment yesterday and you jumped in and started popping off about bots, propaganda, and so on.
They didn’t suggest any timeline because war is full of contingencies that can’t be adequately accounted for in planning.
You’re own quote:
In sum, people interpreted optimistic statements as indicating, implying, and suggesting a short war. Exactly as I said.
A regime is just a political order. It’s strange you find this persistently annoying.
Some have, others haven’t. but its absolutely clear the situation for the Ukrainians is dire.
So they still only would have only half the icebreakers if you incl. the other NATO members, therefore, still outmatched in the Arctic. BTW, they will be building more. Calm your nerves.
At the top of the comment you have no problem with the US calling NATO for help and at the end of the comment you’re pretending that Russian-China cooperation indicates Russian weakness. Unbelievable.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has promised a $3 billion injection to “finish” the National Broadband Network
In my experience the NBN has already started to be bypassed in big population centres. It will end up as a regional network servicing areas where customers are separated by distances too large to cover with current 5G. Advances in wireless technology may even eventually render it obsolete everywhere.
Why?
Well in high density centres like the cities it’s cheaper to run a 5G service from existing central towers than go to all the trouble of running and maintaining fibre or coax to individual properties or even to cable nodes. One 5G base station can serve many customers and the speeds are faster than the NBN at least for domestic consumers.
I live in an inner city suburb and recently changed from NBN HFC to 5G. They changed over the modem at no cost and the monthly bill is 80% of the old NBN rate. It sits on the window sill and connects to the home network seamlessly and so far, reliably. Download speeds have gone from 50 to 400 Mbps. Admittedly the tower is only about 500 metres away but new base stations are being installed all the time. I did have to give up the VOIP phone line that came with the NBN but that wasn’t being used anyway.
Interestingly Telstra didn’t want the NBN box back. They said it’s not theirs, is linked to the property address and should just be put away somewhere and forgotten.
That’s interesting. Some dork down ticked you.
My up tick brought it up to zero.
Calli’s adoree must be lonely. Lol.
Its easy to down thumb when scrolling Pogria.
No, we have unlimited downloads for our regular starlink service. Speed is often over 200 megabits/sec. Very few dropouts, but for $139.00 per month, (plus approx $350.00 initial cost for hardware,) that is as one would expect.
As a Starlink user, I’m impressed. Well worth the $139 p/m.
Only drop outs are when the software needs updating so I check regularly now. The other drop outs are weather related, 50,000ft tropical thunderhead or presence of convection from a Monsoon Tough will block the satellites which is to be expected.
Starlink via Telstra =/= regular Starlink.
Hence the advice above to use Starlink, rather than Telstra via Starlink. (Telstra = is jealous, incredibly jealous + Musk intends to retain supremacy, as he should)
A brave mother and daughter, and a VERY fortunate young girl.

Well yes, Russians With a Bad Attitude is a Russian propaganda bot and I wanted to bring that to attention.
Suggesting it would short and swift. Did they also plan the 40 mile traffic jam?
You cut some of it. Why?
Here are some morsels: by a ‘short war,’ they really meant it would last for three years, and to try and hold on, domestic interest rates would approach 30%.
Let me know if you want me to post excerpts from remainder of the comment you deliberately left out. Oh what the heck, I’ll post those too.
Just repeat, if you disagree, feel free to post direct quotes by these shysters, and with links.
Short duration being 3 years, 1 million dead and wounded and a small chunk of Russian land occupied by the Ukrainians.
Yeah, I get it now. You’re not using the term pejoratively, You’re trying, under difficult circumstances, to be as clear and definitionally accurate as you can when referring to the West. Your guys, your side, are positively Jeffersonian.
I’d be a little more humble if I were you after 2 odd years of wrongolical prediction making. We’ll see.
Well actually as I said, NATO would have double what the Russians have because those from the Soviet era would be as useful as bulls tits and they can’t afford to build anymore for the time being.
Well of course it means relative Russian weakness. What else does it mean? Russia is the very junior partner in that quickie Vegas marriage.

Mass murder survivor concerned WA Labor’s ‘life for life’ parole crackdown could fast-track killer’s freedomJessica PageThe West Australian
Mon, 13 January 2025 12:15PM
A survivor of one of Australia’s most notorious mass murderers is worried parole reforms announced by Labor could fast-track his freedom.
Douglas Crabbe has been serving five life sentences at Acacia Prison for driving his 25t Mack truck into a crowded Uluru pub in 1983, killing five people.
Premier Roger Cook declared “life should mean life” and has vowed to reform parole laws, if re-elected on March 8, to apply parole conditions until a person dies. . . when anyone sentenced to a life term is released.
But Bernadette Schiller, who survived the 1983 crash, told The West Australian “life should mean life in prison, not life on parole”.
“As far as I’m concerned (Crabbe) should never walk the streets of Australia again, he’s just not a good person,” she said.
Crabbe was approved for parole by the Prisoner Review Board last year, but knocked back by Attorney-General John Quigley.
The killer is eligible to apply again in April, a month after the State election.
Eight O’clock walk to the hangman, sorry, hangperson, would have solved all Mr Crabbe’s problems.
Labor make all the promises about “Life is meant to be Life” knowing bloody well they will change it to parole after 20 years then 15, then 10.
Lying bastards.
Happy anniversary Delta.
Thank you, Bespoke. 56 years! BTW, you have a great memory.
JC I had the same disappointment with San Francisco.
The wonderful village appearance and culture is now downmarket junkyard filth and danger.

I can’t imagine what it’s like now. We last went there around 1997 and it was just wonderful.
I don’t remember having a referendum on Muslim migration.
Went in 2019 and there were homeless everywhere. Shops were starting to shut and the streets were filthy. I can’t imagine it is better now.

Sure sure, and yet you failed to contradict their argument.
I included what you quoted from Peskov, Shoigu and Putin in full and italicised the pertinent line that indicated optimism but no short deadline. That is a ll I need to do to demonstrate that a narrative line was confected out of optimistic statements that never included any specific date.
IIRC, I referred to the Iranian regime in a comment to cohenite recently, so again, your reaction is amusing.
Stating that the Ukrainian situation is dire is not a prediction, it’s a statement of the obvious.
There’s a war in Ukraine? First I’ve heard of it.
I wouldn’t call it failing to contradict their argument as that wasn’t my intention.
I included what you quoted from Peskov, Shoigu and Putin in full and italicised the pertinent line that indicated optimism but no short deadline.
Here are the key words related to “short deadline” contained in the quote you posted.
True, I agree. They never said that the special operation would end on 3rd March 2022. By “quick”, “short”, “rapid”, “within weeks”. “quickly” and “rapidly”, they meant 3 years of a hard slog and counting.
Before or after I highlighted your peculiar use?

About two years ago I stumbled upon a YouTube channel that had uploaded actor Roddy McDowell’s old home films from the summer of 1965 when McDowell rented a beach house in Malibu and he spent that whole summer of 1965 inviting his actor friends over every Sunday.
The films are delightful to watch. What’s unique about the films (there’s no sound) is that it provides a disarming insight into Hollywood actors 60 years ago, and how they partied back in 1965. Away from a camera, most were pretty ordinary, the women don’t have fake tits, their faces aren’t filled with fillers, they don’t look like porn stars and the men are ordinary. Oh and what’s delightful is that ALL the actors chain smoke……LOL.
Here’s some of the actors you see in the films, all McDowell’s friends. They bring their children and dogs to the house. McDowell was noted for his hospitality, his friends adored him.

McDowell’s Malibu beach house was nice but it was no mega mansion and the Malibu beach back in 1965 was fabulous, a wide beach. Sadly today, where McDowell’s beach house once stood, the beach has eroded badly due to over development. The beach is now lined with mega McMansions that have destroyed the beach front and eroded the beach, so that the beach has now whittled back to a sliver.
I write this because earlier today I was reading about the LA fires which have hit Malibu badly and the journalist was quoted as saying that the overdevelopment was perhaps a factor. I don’t know, but back in 1965 Malibu was a delightful retreat whereas over the last 30 years Malibu has become a place of shoddy excess.
The channel was taken down but here’s a composition of McDowell’s films.

Yep. Chris Minns is the Liars election formula — the pretty face who gets them elected, but who has no power and lets the Liars socialist left faction run rampant with stuff the punters didn’t vote for once in power. Result: a radical left-wing government led by a nominally right-wing puppet — for what it’s worth, a carbon copy of the Biden presidency.

The first treaty should for indigenous men and women.
So much for the Voice being resoundingly defeated.
Allan is showing great contempt for the Victorian public.
They deserve it.
I hardcore surfed the Australian Bureau of Statistics website once. Maybe 10 years ago. One stat I remember was that Victoria accounted for 1% of Indigenous Aussies. Which was not surprising.
Woke Victoria over-compensates for this muchly. There would be people who lived long lives in the leafy east of Melbourne etc, and would never have clapped eyes on an Aborigine.
I live in that area and would say that genuine Aboriginals are almost never seen, although I definitely saw one a few months ago.
Far more likely to see Africans around here, though still far from common.
Oh, thank you so much, Bespoke! Very kind of you to remember.
We had a fabulous day; family, friends, great food cooked by Daughter and Granddaughters. I am so blessed!
Look at this fat, DEI kunt:
(17) End Wokeness on X: “LAFD Assistant Chief Kristine Larson: “Am I able to carry your husband out of a fire? He got himself in the wrong place.” https://t.co/BofTVr6dWP” / X
It couldn’t shift itself out of a fire.
It couldn’t shift itself off the bog.

He did indeed get himself in the wrong place. Los Angeles is definitely a bad place to be if you need to rely on the fire department.

In the words of Katie Hopkins, that is ‘a proper chunka monka.’
And congrats to you, Delta. They’re all very lucky to have you—and you’re lucky to have them too, of course. 🙂
I sometimes remind my wife how lucky we were to have met each other, though she’s just a little luckier than me. lol.
Thank you, JC. Seems that we’ve all made good decisions spouse-wise.
I do hope everyone has realise that Eyrie was winding you all up this morning about dogs?
He certainly got a few bites.
None of them rabid I hope. Ha
Hilarious.
Funnier still if one of his muzzie mates beheads him.
I could be wrong but I have a strong hunch that the Newtown Synagogue Mussie attackers are recent arrivals from Gaza.
If so, untouchable.
Mustn’t upset the narrative.
Whoever did it (and the Ripponlea synagogue attack) should be immediately deported if they can be, no ifs, buts, or maybes.
Regardless of who is responsible for the attack, I think Albosleazy and Tony Burka have stored up a heap of future trouble for Australia by importing 3000 Gazans.
I shudder to think how many potential Man Monises (or even worse) could be in that lot.
There is good reason why most Muslim countries will not accept Palestinian “refugees.”
Audacious if so, but wouldn’t surprise given the carte blanche they presently have to be “irritants”. (h/t the Wokester’s favourite tame Muesli).
Got three Mueslis where I work out of a staff of maybe 120-30 people. These are Indonesians. A 40 something bloke and his young daughter, and an older maybe 60 year old bloke. Genuinely friendly and happy-go-lucky types who are unfortunate in how that clap-trap landed on their shores back whenever it did.
A handful of lazy currymunchers in between jobs and one lazy Nigerian, but radar discerns no Middle Eastern/A-rab Mueslis there. They aren’t keen on an honest days work etc.
Maybe 20 or more Filipinos, without whom this company would not be reaching the targets it is setting and winning Victorian regional manufacturer of the Year, according to some head honcho at the Christmas piss-up.
I found out how badass and reliable Filipinos are when I decided to be a chef a while back. Got that out of my system and have ticked it off the bucket list LOL. Worst profession evah!
Filipinas are the best employees at my joint. Honest, hard working and Christian.
Ken Oath they are. Bloke on my crew where I work was a Cruise Ship chef for 10 years. Two other Filipinos when I was a chef had done the same. Stories I was told! That shit is like being a galley slave.
Enjoy your cruises Lizzie and Hairy and Mr. and Mrs. TE. Give a thought to the xunts making it happen.
Thanks. Our cruise finished three weeks ago. Been in England and Scotland and India since then. We find that people seeking a better life by saving a goodly amount often work on cruise ships. We are always grateful for their work and tip generously. It’s often better for the staff than staying unemployed at home.
When you are touring India you certainly get to realise why so many Indians seek better employment and upskilling in the UAE. It’s better than what is available at home.
Bashing westerners for being part of a burgeoning international industry that is reasonably well controlled is to ignore how much the cruise industry contributes to third world growth and opportunity.
I’m headed for bed. Busy day today and more tomorrow.
In Saudi, they were the best workers, never complained, always on time and never dodged a days work.
The Arabs treated them like shit.
Teh Voice News (the NT News):
There is extremely good mail that this bloke and his missus were in the Todd Rover bed, and drinking hand sanitiser (which is now de rigeur for these punters that are banned from buying grog) when an argument ensued.
The argument culminated, and ended, with the bloke smashing the woman’s head in with a rock.
Nice. Real nice. Naturally, this has not made any other significant MSM news.
This is probably whitey’s fault – the bastards exchanging hand sanitiser for beads, mirrors and Ayers Rock.
Well the true narrative is canbra imports people who attack you.
I’ve been saying this – literally – for years.
And we are powerless against governments who aid the importation of people who are brought in solely to terrorise us.
Powerless if we stay within the bounds of the law, that is.

Remember this old creep from the ANU? One of these dons called opponents of multiculturalism ‘evil and racist’ c1982. Think it was him.

Domestic Violence advocates fight for funding after 51-year-old woman’s body discovered at Todd River‘This cannot continue’: Domestic violence advocates say a 51-year-old woman’s death in the ‘heart of Australia’ should evoke a national outcry over the rates of abuse in the NT.
I’m curious as to why the aboriginals aren’t policing themselves.
This bloke must have given some indication he was a violent bastard, but they were waiting until he killed someone.
Why?
Three months ago, Gavin Newsome was a viable presidential contender in 2028. Then he destroyed California.
..Tom
California in tatters due largely to ONE man. Caveat being the devastated areas voted overwhelmingly for Gavin. What a price LA and California has had to pay. He’s had his two terms so his only penalty is no future Presidential bid and he retires rich and happy to his vineyards. Great punishment not. Any Trump aid given to these Democrat numpties must now have strings attached.

From memory, it was Pat Dodson who stated that Aboriginal men should not be vilified for the horrendous rates of domestic violence in the communities….
Dutton has called for an RC into sex abuse in remote communities. Perfect timing because the tide has turned and people are no longer tolerating the BS. Even the recent polling on Aus Day reflects that Aussies have had enough of the propaganda.
Chew on this. It’s stock research from the buy side
17 billion is over 50% of its 2024 annual net income, and this would flow directly to the bottom line.
If this large bank is going to experience such an outcome, then they all are. If this is real, the impact will be felt across the board. All I can say is, don’t rely on white-collar admin jobs at large firms.
@JohnMcCloy
Billy Bush reveals to Tucker that all the MSM were essentially in a agreement to attack President Trump “Get him at all costs..get him OUT OF THIS RACE AT ALL COST”
He reveals ABC built a 75 person unit team dedicated to FIND NEGATIVE THINGS ON TRUMP.
This is why Mockingbird MSM cannot be trusted. It is state run propaganda that is the enemy of the people.
@realmichaelseif
It’s amazing that our government will tell you with a straight face that they can’t stop a regional fire, but if you just pay more in taxes, they can change the entire global climate.
It’s even more amazing that anyone believes them.
@catturd2
And they let him go because it would be a horrible look for them. Democrats are evil. Their entire party Is anti-American trash.
Plus he’s going to mandate Australia Day celebrations for all councils in the country (the Hun):
Go. Go, you good thing.
Dutton said as prime minister, he would conduct a full audit of spending on Indigenous programs
Some of the “Big men” – Geoff Clark, I’m looking at you – might have some explaining to do. Also the activist – I cant remember his name, who had several wives, and his private helicopter on call to visit the ladies….

This while LA burns to the ground. Newsom has to be the worst governor in the history of the United States.
With leftard politicians, the politics always, always, takes precedence over serving the community that elected them.
I’m punishing the single malt, and, over on the Australian website, someone is claiming that the Albanese Government, reintroducing conscription, will solve all Australia’s woes..
Always love the old “National Service will cure all our social illness woes”.
It’s an omni-present thing.
“Hey bro, the military isn’t here to reform or babysit the dregs of society. The time and resources involved would be ridiculous, and it isn’t the purpose or mission of a Defence Force to do so.” Something like that.
Fark, when I went through Kapooka in 1988 I reckon 20% of the recruits who marched in, didn’t march out. These were decent solid citizens and good kids generally, who wanted to make it, but just weren’t handling it or getting with the program etc.
So what chance the “National Service will fix ’em” types? I’d wager 2-5% would make a career and earn stripes. Not really bang for buck recruiting.
Only of use if you’re Stalin and the Allied leadership asked you how to defeat German minefields – “We march over them!” was the reply.
If Dutton proposed that, the same people would be screeching in outrage.
With the leisurely dispersing of jet-lag, still fully awake, time to reflect on the main lessons from my trip to Italy and Dubai.
Italy is the erratic, often disagreeable old woman of Western Civilisation. Its older qualities visible but fading. Stunningly beautiful in some places, but badly aged and decomposing in others. Redolent of the old Madame who had many good, energetic times in her youth, but who is now paying the bill for some of that dissolute excess, especially since WW1.
As with all experienced such players, suspicion and intrigue tend to overwhelm openness and trust. The descendants of Romans, Visigoths, Huns, Celts, Longobards, Slavs etc.. have been through centuries of injustice, exploitation and intrigue, smoothly oiled with, until recently, the constant struggle between Local Lord and Church.
It’s not surprising that the result of all this is a population that is highly aware of its history, highly educated, essentially intolerant of frippery and nonsense. Endlessly critical of its political class, fully aware and accepting of its corruption as the natural way of doing things.
Il Diritto Romano, the basis of all Western Law, is now an archeological curiosity.
The “public” service is coldly efficient, within its legislated limits, but serves its owners poorly, with an air of superiority and even arrogance, such as one may see of staff on a Qantas flight.
Interpersonal exchange is superficially polite, but most often a way to the main chance. Family is (almost) everything, as even one’s friend often slips the shiv.
Verdi, Puccini et al saw Italian morality through a clear lens. Saying the quiet part out loud.
The time of great artists, engineers and architects, who created some of the most iconic art ever, is long past. No artist today travels from the Flanders to Firenze or Venice to learn their craft. Bernini and Palladio no longer define high architecture. Etc.
The wrinkly, experienced and aromatic old hag is in her dotage, exploited by supra-National business and political coalitions (EU, US, NATO) that have all but destroyed its capable, inventive uniqueness.
As noted in my previous entry on the Cat last Saturday, I was lucky to have a very limited exposure to Dubai. Taking in ONE of the main hubs in the centre of this massive city, near the 828 m high Burj Khalifa, through several hours of simple walking, divorced from buying (I had fortunately forgotten my CC in the hotel).
The contrast with the Italy I left was enormous. Here is a place that has slowly risen from scattered desert villages, over some centuries, to a metropolis that, for sheer majesty, can challenge any others in the World today. Its ambitious rulers have turned a distant trading outpost into a commercial, financial and tourist monster.
Still a work in progress, as the building cranes and residual sand lots they stand on, can attest.
Traditional, conservative, Muslim.. and ruthless. Using Western engineering, design and finance to beat the West at its own game.
Wouldn’t want to be a lowly worker though. Making up some 95% of the local population, they are simply exploited, in one of the most successful, modern versions of Arabic Slavery. Making omelettes and breaking eggs go together, after all.
Watching the local indigenous males, in traditional white, of uniform facial appearance, sauntering around the Dubai Mall, protected by local law against all foreigners, I couldn’t help thinking that they are truly lucky to live here, in a political mono-culture, unlike the West.
They will continue to exploit us ruthlessly.. while watching the self-inflicted decline of our culture.
essentially intolerant of frippery and nonsense.
Where did you visit. Heaven?
Yeah nah you write so well. I might have missed the odd one of your entries, but very enjoyable reading. Interesting about the Friulian stuff etc. I had never heard of it until a few years ago when I read about Gianluigi Buffon, the famous Italian and Juventus goalkeeper. He has that ancestry.
Love your frank insights

I just read the story about the woman who was killed by her panrter/boyfriend, whatever they call it these days in the Todd river bed. Beaten to death. Just horrible/
The whole thing is unimaginable to all but a very few Australians.
Apart from Bess Prrice, where are the Aboriginal organisationls and individuals calling this shit out?
Every time, they just demand more taxpayer money to fund well paid jobs that achieve nothing.
Why does no one in the MSM ever quesrion the notion that the solution to domestic violence is goverment funding?
This is what has led to my apparently harsh view of the Aboriginal people and culture – except it’s not harsh – it’s a variant of the ‘tough love’ concept. And it’s the last effort I will make to help.
Until people have lived in an area affected by this “culture”, most will hold the MSM view of it. Reality tends to hit people in the face with force, somewhat akin to the rocks these cultural warriors often use.
Funding of the murderer, funding of the victim, funding of the police, funding of the hand-wringers – everybody gets funding; and it is not nearly enough, just ask them.

Brilliant writing and so accurate. Well done!
Thank you, Good Sir.
“I had to eat!”
I saw the video.
“It is very comforting if First Responders look like you.”
Who gives a f-ck what the fire-fighters look like if your house is burning down?
I saw the videos on Sharri of the useless mayor of LA (truly a rabbit in the headlights) with just a catatonic stare into the middle distance when asked questions.
And Newsome “on the phone to the President right now talking about you and your daughter”.
Except he wasn’t.
He then admits he can’t get a signal.
Then the clip of him spouting “misinformation/disinformation” about empty dams. When the specifics of one empty dam is thrown back at him he mumbles something about it “not under state control”. Huh? Well who decided to empty it? Or decommission it by stealth?
It was fairly obvious both of them have become totally used to a “what can we do to help you, Prime Minister” media.
I suspect Newsome was out there for his “flint-eyed, square jawed, looking beyond the horizon” publicity shots, with captions like “a resolute Gavin Newsome is already looking beyond the ashes, with a steely resolve to … Build Back Better”.
Clueless.
You are starting to sound like a proper conspiracy theorist now, Pancho.
Used to take 10 years for the conspiracy theories to eventually get the nod. Now it’s 10 minutes.

Kerzactly, totally preposterous. If you are an anorexic 35kg bimbolina the last person you want to want to see coming to rescue you is some other piece of human wreckage that resembles yourself. You want to see a large, muscular 100kg+ bloke that looks like he knows what the f@ck he is doing.
Now lets be realistic here. How is he going to know which pronoun to use coz if its the wrong one karen from crazies r us is going to need a safe space coz it’s one has just burnt down.
Apart from Bess Prrice, where are the Aboriginal organisationls and individuals calling this shit out?
Okay, where are the Abbo organisations calling out the white grifters and Bruce Pascoe?
Who is gonna be the first Abbo footballer to tell the AFL to “stop pandering to me and patronising me, xunt.?”
Answer to those questions is ‘no organisation,’ and ‘no-one’. Shitful useful idiots and gutless race of losers who prefer special treatment and the public teat. Generalising, but not holding my breath to be proven wrong.
