Have to go to Perth tomorrow to see some crappy band play in some crappy sand quarry.
I hate Perth.
I used to be take-it-or-leave-it, now I just hate it.
And I hate outdoor “festival” gigs. I always have.
Very few comedians are actually that.
They fall into two groups:
Toilet humour – point at or make a joke about a toilet – laughter.
Sweary humour – every second word is “F*CK – edgy laughter.
No longer funny, just boring.
I recall seeing Billy Connelly at Subiaco (Regal?) many years ago. He’s relating the story about the previous night laying in bed trying to think about tonights show and how the couple in the next room were going for it for hours. Fer f*cks sake, just finish. The little old ladies are falling over themselves sitting down, never hearing so many f*cks in one story. Billy has the ability to remove the crudeness, this in contrast with Bill Bailey who doesn’t swear at all. Both are the finest stand up comedians.
His ability to keep five or six stories going, interrupted by the occasional song, one-liner and banter was something to experience. In a “season” of five or six shows in the same week at the same venue, no two shows were the same, in “sequence”. or even material.
Often the “tales” between the “zingers”, were from what he was out doing BETWEEN shows. His “World Tours” series is notable for that feature. When he was in Brisbane, on that tour, he headed off on the Harley Trike, TV crew in tow, to various spots around South East Queensland.. Very funny but VERY professional.
Isn’t it true that philosophers who haven’t kept themselves updated with developments in neuroscience continue to believe in existence of mind as an entity?
Yes, many philosophers who have not engaged with contemporary neuroscience might maintain traditional or dualistic views of the mind as an independent, non-physical entity. This perspective, often associated with Cartesian dualism, posits that the mind and body are fundamentally distinct.
However, developments in neuroscience challenge this view by increasingly demonstrating that mental processes correlate with and depend on brain activity. These findings have led to the growing influence of physicalist and materialist perspectives, which argue that the mind arises from and is inseparable from the physical brain.

You can survive in farming but luck also helps.
——————
Tarndwarncoort is one of Victoriaโs oldest surviving homesteads + the continuation of one of Australiaโs oldest family sheep farms.
Tarndie (or more respectfully, Tarndwarncoort) is based in South Western Victoria, Australia and has been owned and operated by the Dennis family since 1840.
The property is home to Australiaโs first breed of sheep, the Polwarth sheep and its listed buildings reflect the Cornish heritage of the pioneer family.
The Polwarth County was typified by grassy plains, lakes, creeks, swamps, and ancient volcanic soils. These natural attributes, when matched with the graziers resolve to continually improve their farms and sheep, provided the impetus to breed a type of sheep to suit this environment.
The Polwarth Sheep was the result.
The family links to Tarndwarncoort started with Emma and Alexander Dennis when they left their shrinking family farm in Cornwall, UK in 1839. It was on the advice of Emmaโs ship captain brother that new farmlands were discovered in โAustralia Felixโ.
They landed 615 Merino sheep at Point Henry in Geelong and found a suitable run at Tarndwarncoort by 1840. Here they began a dynasty of innovative farming that has seen boom and bust over 7 generations.
Polwarth Sheep are naturally white; however, Tarndie has a specialised flock of black and coloured sheep in unique and sought-after shades.
The members of the first original flock still grow at Tarndwarncoort, and their wool is treasured by crafters all over the world.
Sometimes a handful of luck is worth more than a bucketful of brain.

The Defenestration of Prague: How Three Men Falling Sparked Europe’s Deadliest War
On a warm May morning in 1618, three men took an unexpected flight from a window of Prague Castle. Their 70-foot plunge into history would ignite a conflict that would ravage Europe for the next three decades.
The stage was set in Bohemia, modern-day Czech Republic. Protestant nobles were seething. The Catholic Emperor Matthias had broken his promise of religious freedom. Something had to give.
That something was the patience of Count Thurn and his fellow Protestant lords. They stormed into the Bohemian Chancellery, grabbed two Catholic regents and their secretary, and unceremoniously chucked them out the window.
Now, you might think a fall from such a height would be fatal. But our three unwilling aeronauts had a stroke of luck โ or divine intervention, depending on who you ask. They landed in a pile of manure. Stinky? Yes. Lifesaving?
Absolutely.
Catholics cried miracle, claiming angels had cushioned the fall. Protestants scoffed, crediting good old-fashioned horse droppings. Either way, the men survived.
But while they lived, peace died that day. The “Defenestration of Prague” (that’s fancy talk for “tossing folks out windows”) lit the fuse of the Thirty Years’ War. This conflict would redraw Europe’s religious and political map, leaving millions dead in its wake.
It wasn’t the first time Prague had seen such window-based political statements. A similar incident in 1419 had kicked off the Hussite Wars. But this one?
This one would change the course of European history.

Andrew Bolt:
Anthony Albanese still canโt see how heโs helped to unleash a catastrophe โ anti-Jewish terrorism in our country.
No wonder the Prime Minister, under intense pressure, seized on the theory floated by Australian Federal Police commissioner Reece Kershaw that โoverseas actorsโ were whipping it up.
โIt is important that people understand where some of these attacks are coming from,โ Albanese said on Wednesday.
โIt would appear, as the AFP commissioner said on Tuesday, that some of these are being perpetrated by people who donโt have a particular issue, arenโt motivated by an ideology, but are paid actors.
โItโs unclear who or where the payments are coming from.โ
How glad Albanese must be for anything which might suggest our nationโs Jew hatred has nothing to do with his anti-Israel rabble-rousing-inciting scum.
How politically useful if he can claim that the people terrifying Jews and firebombing synagogues, cars and even childcare centres โarenโt motivated by an ideologyโ like Islam, but are just paid by foreigners.
For operational reasons, Kershaw isnโt saying what information heโs got to back up his suggestion that โlocal criminalsโ may be paid by foreign players in cryptocurrency to attack Jewish targets here, but itโs not hard to guess who he seems to be talking about.
The opposition speculates it could be Iran, but I doubt the Iran embassy knows how to safely contact and pay local criminals to torch things.
But there are organisations which certainly do, already burning down scores of buildings in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide.
Middle Eastern crime gangs, especially from Victoria, are fighting over the illegal tobacco trade in a war thatโs so far had about 200 shops set on fire, including 131 in Victoria and 14 in Sydney.
Many senior gang figures now live overseas, almost always in Muslim countries.
Itโs a guess why they might now be burning Jewish targets. To pose as Muslim heroes? Please protectors overseas?
Or have they been recruited by some country to create havoc here?
In fact, Britainโs MI5 last year said Iran had used international drug traffickers and even low-level crooks for 20 plots targeting people in Britain.
Investigators in Germany and France last September said Iranian agents used European drug traffickers to spy on Jews in France and Germany.
But there are organisations which certainly do, already burning down scores of buildings in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide.
Middle Eastern crime gangs, especially from Victoria, are fighting over the illegal tobacco trade in a war thatโs so far had about 200 shops set on fire, including 131 in Victoria and 14 in Sydney.
Many senior gang figures now live overseas, almost always in Muslim countries.
Itโs a guess why they might now be burning Jewish targets. To pose as Muslim heroes? Please protectors overseas?
Like I said, Kershaw wonโt comment, but however glad Albanese of this theory, heโs a fool if he thinks it saves him.
โOverseas actorsโ havenโt bashed Jews in our streets, screamed abuse at Jews outside synagogues, chanted โwhereโs the Jewsโ outside the Sydney Opera House, preached Jew hatred in mosques, menaced Jewish students at universities, abused Jewish artists at performances and in a thousand different ways made Jews feel persecuted like never before in this country.
Even these โoverseas actorsโ burning synagogues may well be Australians.
And now Albanese doesnโt understand how heโs making it all worse.
He should have known 15 months ago, on the day Hamas slaughtered 1200 Jews, that weโre in a war to defend Western civilisation.
Thatโs clear just from the protesters NSW police have arrested since that October 7 massacre โ almost always Muslims, or Marxists or assorted haters of Australia, Israel and the West.
Theyโve arrested 180 of them, 40 for specifically anti-Jewish offences. Jews or supporters of Israel donโt break laws and get arrested in those numbers.
But Albanese wouldnโt see it. Seemingly greedy for votes of Muslims and the hard Left, he betrayed Israel in the United Nations. He urged Israel to stop fighting for its survival. He gave tourism visas to 3000 Palestinians from Gaza.
He kept legitimising the Jew haters by attacking Israel, and now can only tut-tut about how they express that hatred.
He wonโt even call out the trick Jew haters use to pretend theyโre not really racists.
They say, no, they donโt hate Jews. They just hate Zionists โ supporters of Israel, home of half the worldโs Jews.
They then shamelessly repeat all the ancient Jew-hating smears, just substituting โJewsโ for โZionistsโ. Zionists control the world. Zionists control the media. Zionists love blood. Zionists murder babies.
What a failure Albanese has been.
Since Albanese is quoting the AFP, hereโs former AFP Detective Superintendent David Craig, who summed up bluntly this week.
โIโve served under six different PMs in the AFP, a lot of my time in counter terrorism, Iโve never seen such a spineless response to hatred and un-Australian behaviour by a PM.โ
With voice wavering and lip quivering, you can see it’s all becoming a bit much for Albo. The latest garbage about foreign actors is just that. Complete arrogance to suggest Australians will swallow it.
Is it too much to dream that he will lose his seat in the upcoming election?
Anthony Albanese still canโt see how heโs helped to unleash a catastrophe โ anti-Jewish terrorism in our country.
Of course he can. It’s deliberate – one of Communisms main strategies for fomenting yet another crisis is to divide a nation into political groups. And that’s precisely what this pile of shit is doing – creating a Nation of Tribes so he can set them against each other.
I reckon all this partly just struck a chord with Albo and Wong et als University selves โfree Palestineโ / Arafat juvenile leftist shitbaggery that they never really left behind. They are so un self aware, so blind to the scale of the Oct 7 atrocity that they genuinely believe that they will eventually be applauded and rewarded for holding to long held โprinciplesโ. Disgusting people.
I also noticed on the radio this morning they named only 3 of the people arrested for the anti-semitic attacks, and they all had western sounding names, sort of.
Would be interesting to understand the ethnic origins of the rest, they may all be western-style, nazi-types, or may be not.
Starmer had ALREADY JUDGED the rioters and influenced the judged BEFORE they went to court. Not only did he brand them “FAR RIGHT THUGS” but he also said they should have the highest penalties. A straught directive from No 10 Downing street to the sitting Magistrates.
If that isn’t jeopardising a trial when the Prime Minister categorises the accused AND dictates “severest sentences” then I don’t know where we are.
One man so convicted killed himself in Prison directly as a result of Starmer’s interference in the justice system. .His crime was making some statements which are supposed to be allowed under “Free speech” law.
“Starmer had ALREADY JUDGED the rioters and influenced the judged BEFORE they went to court. Not only did he brand them โFAR RIGHT THUGSโ but he also said they should have the highest penalties. A straught directive from No 10 Downing street to the sitting Magistrates. “
And when the Ministry of Truth says “Fact check: TRUE”, will the court say “Yes sir”, or will they stand up for themselves and say “Wrong: it is the court that decides matters of fact and law, and we also decide on what is the appropriate penalty.”

ONE LAST GROPE: Joe Biden Gets Handsy with Melania Trump at Inaugural โ And, of course, This Was Ignored by Fake News Media
During the Inaugural ceremonies on Monday, Joe Biden got a little handsy with First Lady Melania Trump. He canโt help it. Heโs been groping women and children his entire adult life.
Old Joe reached over and grabbed Melaniaโs waste with hand and then moved over next to her body. Jill was standing right next to him.
Melania should have given him a damn good slap across the face – very symbolic. And painful.
I wonder what the Corpsicle’s reaction would have been?
Starmer is the essential Apparatchik.
A sociopath that would order the execution of anyone who displeased him.
He has no real idea of anyone’s needs outside of his own narrow political and class circle.
โPolice said a 28-year-old man from Afghanistan was arrested close to the crime scene, without speculating on a potential motive. The attack took place in Schรถntal Park, an English-style garden, in the center of the Bavarian city of Aschaffenburg at 11.45am local time (10.45am GMT).
The suspect reportedly followed two teachers and five children who had stepped out of their daycare center for a stroll in the nearby park.โ
No motive as of yet.

Suspect From Afghanistan Arrested After Knife Attack Leaves a Child and a Man Dead, Two Others Injured
No motive as of yet.
It pains me, but I reluctantly have agree with the general verdict, that muzzis are prone to mental illness.
Yes there were some assassins driven by religion in the past but to this number?
Never.
What drives then to it?
Their cult demands it. It’s as simple as that.
The Cult adherent no longer has free will. They are mentally and emotionally slaves and they can only – in a vanishingly rare number of cases – ever escape their slavehood.
I wouldn’t condone it, but I could understand them killing someone in authority who can actually harm them, stop the infiltration of their poisonous religion.
But killing little girls, children or even innocent adults?
Makes no sense to me.
Dr Anthony Daniels, who wrote social commentary under the pseudonym Theodore Dalrymple was a prison physician for a time. He commented on the amount of mental illness amongst the Islamic prisoners. I can recall him speculating that the practice of marrying first cousins probably was contributory.
Just watched an ash blonde from Pommy Sky fact checking Trump. Everything old is new again.
Snittily telling us itโs going to be another four years of โgovernment by Truth Socialโ. Bzzzzzt. Didnโt exist until he was dumped from Twotter years ago.
She took particular exception to his comment โsheโs not very good at her jobโ re the priestess. So now sheโs a dodgy theologian as well as a dodgy historian.
I happen to agree with Trump. Her job is to shepherd the flock and preach the Gospel. She had an opportunity to do that and she squibbed it, settling instead for a diatribe on social justice. She swapped out the delightful, invigorating words of life for a grumble that any old activist could have delivered.
Apparently Trump has sent a message to Putin as a preliminary to a โdealโ to end the war. He mentioned some punitive measures that could possibly be applied. Apparently the US doesnโt import much from Russia so that wonโt work. The point that Mz. Negotiator missed is the will to start the wheels of peace rolling.
Weโre only a couple of days in and the commentariat are already dripping hatred.
Chuckle. Just saw a replay of the blondescold from Sky.
Get your facts right Mz Factchecker. The priestess didnโt โrebukeโ Vladimir Putin, unless he was hiding under the pews. She addressed the new president whose name is Trump.
They are so dumb in their nastiness.
To repeat Trump, โsheโs not very good at her jobโ.

A religion which urges you to kill members of a race and murder apostates is going to be attractive to homicidal lunatics.
When I get asked to babysit, I say: “Sure – I’ll feed them Coke, chocolate and red lollies, and rev them up all night. Then leave as soon as you get home.”
For some reason, they don’t follow through on the ask…
UK PM Blob Johnson had a party during lockdown, tried to hide it, was caught out and the mainstream MSM and left went for his jugular and forced him to step down in 2022.
Current UK PM, adulterer Fuhrer Sturmer (and all round Saville fan) is intimately involved in the cover up of a shocking crime where three little girls were hacked to death by a Welsh Christian choir boy who also, at the same time, attempted to hack to death eight other little girls and two adults. The MSM and the left? Silence. They run cover for their man and party, they donโt even try to hide their partisan spruiking!
Blob Johnson was and is a hypocrite of the first order, a nauseating individual who squandered an electoral opportunity that is likely never to come the way of the Conservative party again. I loathe the man but I just canโt help notice the different โstandardsโ applied to Johnson v Creepy Sturmer.
They already have been destroyed. No-one takes them seriously. Stop worrying about them.
In fact lefties all cry about the bias of the media against them. We don’t need to do the same. Al those who need to know that Starmer is a wrong ‘un already know it. That is why Labour will go into oblivion again at the next election.
Boris was the one who made sure that the leave campaign won the Brexit vote. he also got brexit through when all the others had failed. Two great achievements, which went along with his brilliant stint as mayor of London merit a place in the history books.
The real problem in Britian as it was in the 1970s in the Blob. Britain needs a new Thatcher. Hard right wing policies, with conservative social aims and a masssacre of liberal ideas are the only way out.

Wilkins Micawber is alive and well and living as a thirty year old child with a degree in elementary education, working as a nanny because she doesn’t like classrooms.
Son has a degree in secondary education and music. Reckons he learnt more from the kids in before and after school care as the job he had to pay his way. Something like one third leave teaching after two years. Most aren’t responsible for their own lives so can’t handle kids. He’s never stepped foot in a school classroom since qualifying.

A wonderful lady from Quambatook was murdered this week and her body burnt and dumped in an old gravel pit.
Our friends come from there and say she was one of those community people who volunteered for everything and kept the small town ticking along.
The news doesnโt tell you the killer was off his chump and ended up in Quambatook because of mental illness. Country towns are seen as good spots to house these type of people.
The town is heartbroken and angry at the same time.
So very sorry Gez.

BREAKING: Donald Trump has ordered a communications blackout at America’s federal health agencies, per WaPo.
The CDC, FDA, HHS and NIH have all been told to pause external communications, including publishing scientific reports, updating websites or issuing health advisories.
When you are a partisan with no talent or real sources or actual things to report on things this is the only remaining tactic. No one is falling for it anymore. CONFIRM PETE NOW!
As we gathered for our meeting at the White House yesterday, JD Vance mentioned to us that he had never before visited the Oval Office. I told him and President Trump that I HAD to capture the moment on video. Only in America can a hardworking young man from Appalachia rise from his humble circumstances to enter the Oval for first time as VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. What a country!
President Trump Takes First Step to Overturn Joe Bidenโs Abortion Agenda
Among its first acts in office, the Trump-Vance administration closed a federal government website opened by the Biden administration to promote abortion-on-demand at taxpayersโ expense. Users noted the website ReproductiveRights.gov had gone offline on Monday afternoon, shortly after Chief Justice John Roberts swore in Donald Trump as the 47th president of the United States.
โReproductive health care, including access to birth control and safe and legal abortion care, is an essential part of your health and well-being,โ the moribund website claimed. It also erroneously insisted the abortion pill, mifepristone, โis safe and effective when used as directed,โ although mifepristone produced 35 emergency room visits for every 100 abortions in 2015.
Grain markets are grossly undervalued and this is bad news for future food prices.
Producers are currently wearing the massive cost blowouts in energy pricing as governments try to manipulate the retail sector into price control.
In 1983 wheat was valued at $10 a bag, thatโs $120 a tonne. Today it is $314 at site in our area. In 1983 you could get a Holden one tonner for $6,500 as compared with $50-60,000 today. Somethings got to give as most farms are surviving off the equity created by the boom in land prices over the last decade.
We can only imagine the effects of the subsidised renewable sector on production as they compete for land for mines, quarries and electrical infrastructure.
Government intervention is worse than any bushfire, flood or drought.

Greg Gutfeld went all out on The Five and called the pink bishop from Trump’s inaugural prayer morning evil and satanic. He has it right, every position she took and advocated for is against what Jesus taught. The worst was her concern for transgender children who were abetted by evil adults like her and doctors who operate on them. If she was a Christian she would have evoked Matthew 18:6 on all those promoters of transgender children.

Daily Tele.
Of the Blak Caucus-led Sydney protest, the socialist Green Left newspaper states on its website: โJoin us to honour our survival, demand justice, and fight for the liberation of all First Nations.โ
โJanuary 26 marks the beginning of colonisation on our lands, leading to the violent dispossession of our ancestors and the continued oppression of our people today. The injustices we face are stark and ongoing.
โWe are over-policed and under-resourced. Our people are incarcerated at rates 14 times higher than non-Indigenous Australians, and systemic racism continues to deny us access to housing, healthcare, and opportunities,โ
It goes on: โChanging the date will not fix anything โ however this is the first and very necessary step towards abolishing Australia Day and the true reckoning that this country needs to have with the injustices that continue to cause suffering today.
โIt is important in this election year to join these protests honouring survival, resistance and justice.โ
The guy living in a humpy backโ o Bourke sees little of the loot – nor should he if he lives in a place with no economic or social future.
The river of gold mostly goes to the 8% ( or even 0%) aboriginal ancestry Aunty Dr Professors in dispossession justice studies in Sydney or the Commissioner Dr Uncles in recently invented truth telling projects in Canberra.
How strange that the enormous taxpayer funding sucked up by these pale aphids is never explained to the public.
When/if Dutton wins the next election he should have Jacinta Price conduct an audit of all the funds allocated to the “first nations” so we can all see where the money went.
Court days here in the Northern goldfields of WA are usually held on the third tuesday of the month. The usual crew of budding astronauts, musicians, engineers etc are all supported by aboriginal legal aid service who drive up from Kal on the day before all at yours and my expense.
Meanwhile the dickhead miners and farmboys who get drunk and misbehave are usually unrepresented as the cost of lawyers are not paid by the state. Sometimes they are represented by the ALS folk but not always.
So how come the indigenous have a higher rate of incarceration than the rest of us. Tis a complete mystery to me.
Perhaps one of the budding astronauts could go to uni and do its doctoral thesis on the poor quality of legal representation.
Systemic, is it?
Because as far as I can see, there are only 3 ways there could be systemic racism:
1) there are laws that are racist. In fact there are, but these ALL advantage aboriginals over all others;
2) rules, rulings, and regulations. Again, racists ones exist, but they ALL advantage aboriginals over others;
3) social advantage. There is NONE for racism against aboriginals, only social advantage for racism IN FAVOUR of aboriginals.
So the ONLY “systemic racism” I see, is for the BENEFIT of aboriginals.
Happy for anyone to show me otherwise.
Anyone?

Blak is still white man’s alphabet. Deliberately misspelling a word is just childish spite. Nasty people.
The Apollo 1 fire on the launchpad at Kennedy Space Center, which claimed the lives of astronauts Gus Grissom, Ed White, and Roger Chaffee and threatened to derail the Apollo program before it got off the ground, took place on Jan. 27, 1967.
The space shuttle Challenger exploded just over a minute after launch on Jan. 28, 1986, claiming the lives of all seven crew members on board. That mission commanded a lot of attention because it included the first โteacher in space,โ Christa McAuliffe. Finally, the space shuttle Columbia broke apart on reentry on Feb. 1, 2003, and all seven crew members lost their lives.
Space is hard. And you’d have to say that manned space missions on those five days from 27 Jan and 1 Feb are jinxed. The amazing thing is despite a very dangerous profession we haven’t had any fatalities since 2003, even though two NASA astronauts are still stuck in space after their capsule failed. Elon is due to give them ride home in March.

He was recruited originally as an MO for Air America before that band of suicidal buccaneers packed up their gold bars and headed off to become airline pilots.
He said that an ongoing priority for the operations was protection of the Kuomintang drug running operations.

Is it possible these “overseas actors” are local crims hiding out in Lebanon? They would have all the necessary contacts in place.
Members of the second or third generation thereof.
I missed previous speculation, but for me the clue is in the term “overseas” rather than “foreign” actors.

Remember the other week when the media and the left were trying to stir divisions in the MAGA camp because of Musk’s support of Indian immigration? Already forgotten. This week he’s a full blown Nazi white supremacist for one sweeping hand gesture.
Isnโt it true that philosophers who havenโt kept themselves updated with developments in neuroscience continue to believe in existence of mind as an entity?
Yes, many philosophers who have not engaged with contemporary neuroscience might maintain traditional or dualistic views of the mind as an independent, non-physical entity. This perspective, often associated with Cartesian dualism, posits that the mind and body are fundamentally distinct.
However, developments in neuroscience challenge this view by increasingly demonstrating that mental processes correlate with and depend on brain activity. These findings have led to the growing influence of physicalist and materialist perspectives, which argue that the mind arises from and is inseparable from the physical brain.
Precisely the answer you would expect ChatGPT would give to a leading question.
Indeed. Not to mention said correlations are rather tenuous in the first place, because mental processes cannot be measured directly, and must therefore be inferred from behaviour or self-report.
Lidia Thorpe is the equivalent of a mad woman taking a shit in the street for effect. A reminder of the Greens and the Senateโs contribution to Australian democracy.
A different, less critical way of putting it: our unwritten, actually operative constitutional order has become centered around executive governance and Presidential administration. In Bagehotโs terms, Congress is the โdignifiedโ part of the small-c constitutional order, the President (and to a lesser extent the judiciary) the โefficientโ part.
Heh, calling Congress “dignified” is a bit of a stretch these days. They regularly come at the bottom of the polls, lower even than journalists.

Chlamydia Thorpe has been ranting again.
Dutton has sent a spray her way.
It is good to see SFL’s get dirty, however, the smartest thing to do would be, every time Chlamydia rears her ugly head, the Libs should simply run, on a loop, the footage of her crawling on her knees.

Rebel News: Avi and Ezra on the beat in Davos.
Watch what happened when Ezra and I spotted Larry Fink, the CEO of BlackRock, on the street in Davos today. We finally asked him all the questions the mainstream media refuses to ask!
That just reminded me as to why I must never fly Qantas seeing that they have higher regard for rubbish like Thorpe than a productive citizen such as myself.
Lidia Thorpe โshouldnโt be in the Senateโ, Peter Dutton says, after the independent accused him of being โracistโ and โviolentโ.
Senator Thorpe made the remarks in an appearance on a podcast earlier this week.
โDutton is a racist. Dutton is a violent person,โ she said, responding to a question about the Opposition Leaderโs โTrumpian tacticsโ.
โDutton used to be a Queensland police officer who caused damage to a lot of blackfellas on the street, you know, wheeling his power around the streets.โ
Mr Dutton on Thursday said the remarks were โabsurdโ.
โObviously, just absurd statements, but sheโs a publicity seeker,โ he told Sydney-based 2GB.
โShe shouldnโt be in the Senate. Sheโs not stable enough to be a member of the Australian parliament, and I think people recognise that through her actions and her model is to attract the attention of the lunatic left, and she does that.โ
I believe Peter Dutton should take legal action against Thorpe. Peter Dutton is not a racist. These endless adolescent smears and lies from the left can no longer go unchallenged. You cannot go around calling people ‘racists’ or ‘Nazis’ or ‘violent’ without incurring consequences, just ask John Pesutto. Moira Deeming was 100% right to pursue Pesutto for that ‘Nazi’ smear and Peter Dutton must now pursue Thorpe and demand an apology.
This goes to the heart of what I’ve often said on these pages, that for too long the right have ignored the defamatory smears and lies of the left. This must stop.
Absolutely, Cassie. Trump has no hesitation in taking to Court and seeking damages from these people abusing their positions of power.
Dutton should do the same.

But killing little girls, children or even innocent adults?
Makes no sense to me.
They’ve been told, by the people they trust, that these children are a danger to them and will grow up to be a danger to their Cult. So kill them they will, AND they will feel virtuous about it as well. It must be a huge dopamine rush for these people. And don’t forget the paedophilic aspect of the slaughter – why little girls? I bet these Jihadis doing this sort of thrillkilling would be tumescent.

Cats, we must hang our heads in shame, sackcloth and ashes, flagellating our backs at the doors of the hay truck stop.
I have an eyewitness account, from a properly constituted truckie of an unspeakable event we derided poor St Ruth for.
He claims a number of Indian truck drivers are squatting on the dolly behind the cab at truck stops and letting fly with last weeks vindaloo.
Rather than walking off into the scrub with a dunny roll and a picture magazine like the proper Aussies do.
Reminds me of a septic tank truck that would occasionally stop at the roadhouse I worked at. Had a slogan painted on it. “Yesterdays meals on wheels” .

If the SFL’S had any sense, they’d pay attention to the Cat. We provide free analysis on everything they do, yet how much attention is paid to the disaffected, disillusioned and generally pissed off with their direction and more importantly what to do about it coz from my perspective they haven’t a clue. Which is why they’re in the situation they find themselves.
Queensland government workers have been instructed to turn off their computers and avoid using lifts as the state faces threats of a mass blackout amid an extreme heatwave surge.
And please please please shut off the aircon to all government offices all day so the public serpents get to suffer the results of their mad green ideology.

Sky News can reveal Labor Senator Sue Lines who was picked to lead a delegation to Auschwitz, despite past criticisms of Israel, was dumped from the role in early January.
On January 3, Foreign Minister Penny Wong was confirmed to be attending the event, making her the most senior representative and the automatic head of the delegation.

The Mail has a piece, with photos, about the WA home invasion where the invader ended up dead. The home owner was not charged, rightly so.
Reading the piece, I reckon the dumb scrote ended being stabbed with his own machete.
Police only state that there was a struggle during which the scrote was fatally injured. Not one word about whether the home owner was able to grab something to use as a weapon, not one word about what actually caused the scrote’s injuries.
The proud Rorter Rorter mother of the scrote is mouthing the usual “we won’t rest until there is justice for poor, insert name here”.
What say you, fellow Cats?
I am very curious to know if you think I may be on the right track.
Heads up to the Cat who bequeathed us the “Rorter”, line. Thank you very much. ๐
The particular street is a cul de sac with mid range housing, with a lot of mine workers in the area. If the scrote entered a home intending to cause havoc, he succeeded. Link to article in Perth Now is here.
The mother is quoting worksafe ideas that everyone who goes to work should return home safe at the end of the day. If your “work” involves home invasions then perhaps it is time to choose another career as un-aliving is a significant risk in the home invasion business.

National Indigenous Times, on the death of TYrone Smith.
Advocate Gerry Georgatos said systemic neglect, including a lack of post-custody support for people trying to re-integrate into society, has left young people like Mr Smith vulnerable.
“We are losing lives because deaths in custody and post-custody deaths have become a pattern,” Mr Georgatos said.
“There’s no post-custody assistance. If we’re not going to support these kids, we’re leaving them behind. Children today are being born with less opportunity than ever before.
“Tyrone should still be with us.”
Mr Georgatos highlighted broader systemic issues he says contributed to Mr Smith’s death, including the poverty and neglect that disproportionately impact First Nations communities.
“Sixty percent of First Nations people in this state live below the poverty line, and in some regions, it’s three out of four,” he said.
The family is calling for a thorough investigation into the events leading Mr Smith’s death.
“We need the truth,” Ms O’Loughlin said.
“Why did this happen? Was there excessive force?”
Mr Georgatos echoed the call for transparency, urging authorities to provide answers promptly.
“These questions need to be answered, and they need to be answered as fast as possible in every way permissible with the family,” he said.

I went to see a comedy duo in Northbridge last night. Got a laugh here and there but tooo much swearing for my taste. Yippee down to 29C at 11pm.
Very few comedians are actually that.
They fall into two groups:
Toilet humour – point at or make a joke about a toilet – laughter.
Sweary humour – every second word is “F*CK – edgy laughter.
No longer funny, just boring.
I recall seeing Billy Connelly at Subiaco (Regal?) many years ago. He’s relating the story about the previous night laying in bed trying to think about tonights show and how the couple in the next room were going for it for hours. Fer f*cks sake, just finish. The little old ladies are falling over themselves sitting down, never hearing so many f*cks in one story. Billy has the ability to remove the crudeness, this in contrast with Bill Bailey who doesn’t swear at all. Both are the finest stand up comedians.
Billy Connoly could make a prostate exam hilarious … in fact, he did, in a long form joke
His ability to keep five or six stories going, interrupted by the occasional song, one-liner and banter was something to experience. In a “season” of five or six shows in the same week at the same venue, no two shows were the same, in “sequence”. or even material.
Often the “tales” between the “zingers”, were from what he was out doing BETWEEN shows. His “World Tours” series is notable for that feature. When he was in Brisbane, on that tour, he headed off on the Harley Trike, TV crew in tow, to various spots around South East Queensland.. Very funny but VERY professional.
I saw some fool try to heckle at a Billy Connelly show – Billy handed him his arze on a silver platter..

Tarndwarncoort is one of Victoriaโs oldest surviving homesteads + the continuation of one of Australiaโs oldest family sheep farms.
Tarndie (or more respectfully, Tarndwarncoort) is based in South Western Victoria, Australia and has been owned and operated by the Dennis family since 1840.
The property is home to Australiaโs first breed of sheep, the Polwarth sheep and its listed buildings reflect the Cornish heritage of the pioneer family.
The Polwarth County was typified by grassy plains, lakes, creeks, swamps, and ancient volcanic soils. These natural attributes, when matched with the graziers resolve to continually improve their farms and sheep, provided the impetus to breed a type of sheep to suit this environment.
The Polwarth Sheep was the result.
The family links to Tarndwarncoort started with Emma and Alexander Dennis when they left their shrinking family farm in Cornwall, UK in 1839. It was on the advice of Emmaโs ship captain brother that new farmlands were discovered in โAustralia Felixโ.
They landed 615 Merino sheep at Point Henry in Geelong and found a suitable run at Tarndwarncoort by 1840. Here they began a dynasty of innovative farming that has seen boom and bust over 7 generations.
Polwarth Sheep are naturally white; however, Tarndie has a specialised flock of black and coloured sheep in unique and sought-after shades.
The members of the first original flock still grow at Tarndwarncoort, and their wool is treasured by crafters all over the world.

The Defenestration of Prague: How Three Men Falling Sparked Europe’s Deadliest War
On a warm May morning in 1618, three men took an unexpected flight from a window of Prague Castle. Their 70-foot plunge into history would ignite a conflict that would ravage Europe for the next three decades.
The stage was set in Bohemia, modern-day Czech Republic. Protestant nobles were seething. The Catholic Emperor Matthias had broken his promise of religious freedom. Something had to give.
That something was the patience of Count Thurn and his fellow Protestant lords. They stormed into the Bohemian Chancellery, grabbed two Catholic regents and their secretary, and unceremoniously chucked them out the window.
Now, you might think a fall from such a height would be fatal. But our three unwilling aeronauts had a stroke of luck โ or divine intervention, depending on who you ask. They landed in a pile of manure. Stinky? Yes. Lifesaving?
Absolutely.
Catholics cried miracle, claiming angels had cushioned the fall. Protestants scoffed, crediting good old-fashioned horse droppings. Either way, the men survived.
But while they lived, peace died that day. The “Defenestration of Prague” (that’s fancy talk for “tossing folks out windows”) lit the fuse of the Thirty Years’ War. This conflict would redraw Europe’s religious and political map, leaving millions dead in its wake.
It wasn’t the first time Prague had seen such window-based political statements. A similar incident in 1419 had kicked off the Hussite Wars. But this one?
This one would change the course of European history.
With voice wavering and lip quivering, you can see it’s all becoming a bit much for Albo. The latest garbage about foreign actors is just that. Complete arrogance to suggest Australians will swallow it.
Is it too much to dream that he will lose his seat in the upcoming election?
Of course he can. It’s deliberate – one of Communisms main strategies for fomenting yet another crisis is to divide a nation into political groups. And that’s precisely what this pile of shit is doing – creating a Nation of Tribes so he can set them against each other.
Correct. It was obvious from the start.
Oct 7, to Labor, was a gift they grabbed with all appendages.
Especially that freak Wong.
It’s all too late for Albo, the population is fed up and believes nothing they are being sold.
Overseas Actors is a way of saying the local scum can carry on coz we won’t be investigating them.
He will resign from politics after the election, whether he retains his seat or not.
Shirley there’s a mid-wit “university” that will install him as Pro-Regent-Chencellor-of-Vice at $750,000 p.a.?
I reckon all this partly just struck a chord with Albo and Wong et als University selves โfree Palestineโ / Arafat juvenile leftist shitbaggery that they never really left behind. They are so un self aware, so blind to the scale of the Oct 7 atrocity that they genuinely believe that they will eventually be applauded and rewarded for holding to long held โprinciplesโ. Disgusting people.

It pains me, but I reluctantly have agree with the general verdict, that muzzis are prone to mental illness.
Yes there were some assassins driven by religion in the past but to this number?
Never.
What drives then to it?
Their cult demands it. It’s as simple as that.
The Cult adherent no longer has free will. They are mentally and emotionally slaves and they can only – in a vanishingly rare number of cases – ever escape their slavehood.
I wouldn’t condone it, but I could understand them killing someone in authority who can actually harm them, stop the infiltration of their poisonous religion.
But killing little girls, children or even innocent adults?
Makes no sense to me.
To them women and children are disposable accessories.

I happen to agree with Trump. Her job is to shepherd the flock and preach the Gospel. She had an opportunity to do that and she squibbed it, settling instead for a diatribe on social justice. She swapped out the delightful, invigorating words of life for a grumble that any old activist could have delivered.
Apparently Trump has sent a message to Putin as a preliminary to a โdealโ to end the war. He mentioned some punitive measures that could possibly be applied. Apparently the US doesnโt import much from Russia so that wonโt work. The point that Mz. Negotiator missed is the will to start the wheels of peace rolling.

UK PM Blob Johnson had a party during lockdown, tried to hide it, was caught out and the mainstream MSM and left went for his jugular and forced him to step down in 2022.
Current UK PM, adulterer Fuhrer Sturmer (and all round Saville fan) is intimately involved in the cover up of a shocking crime where three little girls were hacked to death by a Welsh Christian choir boy who also, at the same time, attempted to hack to death eight other little girls and two adults. The MSM and the left? Silence. They run cover for their man and party, they donโt even try to hide their partisan spruiking!
Blob Johnson was and is a hypocrite of the first order, a nauseating individual who squandered an electoral opportunity that is likely never to come the way of the Conservative party again. I loathe the man but I just canโt help notice the different โstandardsโ applied to Johnson v Creepy Sturmer.
The MSM must be destroyed completely.
They already have been destroyed. No-one takes them seriously. Stop worrying about them.
In fact lefties all cry about the bias of the media against them. We don’t need to do the same. Al those who need to know that Starmer is a wrong ‘un already know it. That is why Labour will go into oblivion again at the next election.
Boris was the one who made sure that the leave campaign won the Brexit vote. he also got brexit through when all the others had failed. Two great achievements, which went along with his brilliant stint as mayor of London merit a place in the history books.

President Trump Takes First Step to Overturn Joe Bidenโs Abortion Agenda
Among its first acts in office, the Trump-Vance administration closed a federal government website opened by the Biden administration to promote abortion-on-demand at taxpayersโ expense. Users noted the website ReproductiveRights.gov had gone offline on Monday afternoon, shortly after Chief Justice John Roberts swore in Donald Trump as the 47th president of the United States.
โReproductive health care, including access to birth control and safe and legal abortion care, is an essential part of your health and well-being,โ the moribund website claimed. It also erroneously insisted the abortion pill, mifepristone, โis safe and effective when used as directed,โ although mifepristone produced 35 emergency room visits for every 100 abortions in 2015.
This is the level of lunacy we had reached.

We can only imagine the effects of the subsidised renewable sector on production as they compete for land for mines, quarries and electrical infrastructure.
Government intervention is worse than any bushfire, flood or drought.

Two tier policing, vote grubbing, tolerance and/or enabling of terrorism, base bloody expediency, whatever you want to call it, I’m absolutely bloody sick of it – heads need to roll (literally, not figuratively) and gaolings and deportations need to be carried out.

Greg Gutfeld went all out on The Five and called the pink bishop from Trump’s inaugural prayer morning evil and satanic.

The worst was her concern for transgender children who were abetted by evil adults like her and doctors who operate on them. If she was a Christian she would have evoked Matthew 18:6 on all those promoters of transgender children.

Iโd forgotten the dates but was reminded by another man that it was the fortieth anniversary of the Avoca/Talbot fires.
I was there as a very young man on a truck in the forest in the middle of the night with burning branches and embers falling on top of you as you tried to group up as a defencive line to stop the fire overwhelming houses nearby.
140 homes lost and three lives.
Earlier, and apropos of shady foreign cabals apparently funding cans of spray paint and hammers for dunderheads:
We must let them carry on, as it is not their fault.
‘Got caught up in’
‘Fell in with the wrong crowd’
‘Made poor choices’
‘Mental health’
‘Acting alone’
‘Motive unknown’
“Fell in with the wrong crowd.”
OK, identify the “wrong crowd” to us and testify against them, and you will receive a measure of leniency.
Bit hard to be a lone wolf when you fell in with the wrong crowd.
The litany of bodies with holes in them strewn all across western Sydney suggests testifying against them is not conducive to a long life.
And, your point is?
and how do the overseas actors know where the otherwise unknowns are when the resources of our security services don’t. Puzzling.
Indeed.
And hopefully Trump, the Trump Administration and the GOP generally are going to keep him front and centre – and groom him for POTUS 48/49.
Because the MSM/Democrat Eye of Sauron focus is already moving onto โLame Duck Trumpโ, with only two years ahead of him to get things done.
Yes, my hope is that the number of quite young Republicans who have been given responsibilities under Trump, donโt all begin infighting in three years time and ruin each otherโs careers.
Trump’s mob need to start now to prevent cheating in the mid terms.
No they need to be taking responsibility for the accuracy of the count from the States, and demanding ink for the fingers and paper votes.

Daily Tele.
Of the Blak Caucus-led Sydney protest, the socialist Green Left newspaper states on its website: โJoin us to honour our survival, demand justice, and fight for the liberation of all First Nations.โ
โJanuary 26 marks the beginning of colonisation on our lands, leading to the violent dispossession of our ancestors and the continued oppression of our people today. The injustices we face are stark and ongoing.
โWe are over-policed and under-resourced. Our people are incarcerated at rates 14 times higher than non-Indigenous Australians, and systemic racism continues to deny us access to housing, healthcare, and opportunities,โ
It goes on: โChanging the date will not fix anything โ however this is the first and very necessary step towards abolishing Australia Day and the true reckoning that this country needs to have with the injustices that continue to cause suffering today.
โIt is important in this election year to join these protests honouring survival, resistance and justice.โ
“under resourced”? Some $40 billion a year divided among how many (many of whom are fully integrated into Australian life)?
The guy living in a humpy backโ o Bourke sees little of the loot – nor should he if he lives in a place with no economic or social future.
The river of gold mostly goes to the 8% ( or even 0%) aboriginal ancestry Aunty Dr Professors in dispossession justice studies in Sydney or the Commissioner Dr Uncles in recently invented truth telling projects in Canberra.
How strange that the enormous taxpayer funding sucked up by these pale aphids is never explained to the public.
Pale aphids. Love it.
When/if Dutton wins the next election he should have Jacinta Price conduct an audit of all the funds allocated to the “first nations” so we can all see where the money went.
Maybe they commit crimes at at least 14 times what the rest of us do?
Court days here in the Northern goldfields of WA are usually held on the third tuesday of the month. The usual crew of budding astronauts, musicians, engineers etc are all supported by aboriginal legal aid service who drive up from Kal on the day before all at yours and my expense.
Meanwhile the dickhead miners and farmboys who get drunk and misbehave are usually unrepresented as the cost of lawyers are not paid by the state. Sometimes they are represented by the ALS folk but not always.
So how come the indigenous have a higher rate of incarceration than the rest of us. Tis a complete mystery to me.
Perhaps one of the budding astronauts could go to uni and do its doctoral thesis on the poor quality of legal representation.
“…systemic racism continues…”
Systemic, is it?
Because as far as I can see, there are only 3 ways there could be systemic racism:
1) there are laws that are racist. In fact there are, but these ALL advantage aboriginals over all others;
2) rules, rulings, and regulations. Again, racists ones exist, but they ALL advantage aboriginals over others;
3) social advantage. There is NONE for racism against aboriginals, only social advantage for racism IN FAVOUR of aboriginals.
So the ONLY “systemic racism” I see, is for the BENEFIT of aboriginals.
Happy for anyone to show me otherwise.
Anyone?

NASA Will Remember Its Fallen Heroes on January 23 (22 Jan)
Space is hard. And you’d have to say that manned space missions on those five days from 27 Jan and 1 Feb are jinxed. The amazing thing is despite a very dangerous profession we haven’t had any fatalities since 2003, even though two NASA astronauts are still stuck in space after their capsule failed. Elon is due to give them ride home in March.
This is old, but still both funny and sad:
Why do they appropriate terminology from Canada?
Too unoriginal to make their own up? Second rate people pushing their luck?
The elderly doctor who burned off my face yesterday with his high caliber liquid nitrogen cannon had spent the latter half of the 70’s in Thailand as MO to ongoing CIA operations against Hanoi and Pnom Penh.
He was recruited originally as an MO for Air America before that band of suicidal buccaneers packed up their gold bars and headed off to become airline pilots.
He said that an ongoing priority for the operations was protection of the Kuomintang drug running operations.
Some people have indeed led interesting lives.
Blak Aktivists want to sieze permanent power over inferior races.
Change my mind.
I’ve never met an inferior race. I’ve met a lot of stupid people of all races. Do we consider Amazonian Indians inferior or the San Bushmen. Put us in their place and we’d be dead in 24 hours.
Is it possible these “overseas actors” are local crims hiding out in Lebanon? They would have all the necessary contacts in place.
Some speculation that was indeed the case. Fraserโs Lebs?

I missed previous speculation, but for me the clue is in the term “overseas” rather than “foreign” actors.
Remember the other week when the media and the left were trying to stir divisions in the MAGA camp because of Musk’s support of Indian immigration? Already forgotten. This week he’s a full blown Nazi white supremacist for one sweeping hand gesture.

BREAKING NEWSPeter Dutton hits back at Lidia Thorpe after she branded him a ‘violent racist” with a brutal spray of his own: ‘Not stable’
Daily Mail.
What did Dutton?
…say?
Lidia Thorpe is the equivalent of a mad woman taking a shit in the street for effect. A reminder of the Greens and the Senateโs contribution to Australian democracy.
Indeed.
Heh, calling Congress “dignified” is a bit of a stretch these days. They regularly come at the bottom of the polls, lower even than journalists.
Chlamydia Thorpe has been ranting again.
Dutton has sent a spray her way.
It is good to see SFL’s get dirty, however, the smartest thing to do would be, every time Chlamydia rears her ugly head, the Libs should simply run, on a loop, the footage of her crawling on her knees.
Psychotic and evil.
I don’t like the king but actually felt sorry for him after the vicious attack by that highly paid psychotic slag.

That just reminded me as to why I must never fly Qantas seeing that they have higher regard for rubbish like Thorpe than a productive citizen such as myself.
From the Daily Telegraph…
Lidia Thorpe โshouldnโt be in the Senateโ, Peter Dutton says, after the independent accused him of being โracistโ and โviolentโ.
Senator Thorpe made the remarks in an appearance on a podcast earlier this week.
โDutton is a racist. Dutton is a violent person,โ she said, responding to a question about the Opposition Leaderโs โTrumpian tacticsโ.
โDutton used to be a Queensland police officer who caused damage to a lot of blackfellas on the street, you know, wheeling his power around the streets.โ
Mr Dutton on Thursday said the remarks were โabsurdโ.
โObviously, just absurd statements, but sheโs a publicity seeker,โ he told Sydney-based 2GB.
โShe shouldnโt be in the Senate. Sheโs not stable enough to be a member of the Australian parliament, and I think people recognise that through her actions and her model is to attract the attention of the lunatic left, and she does that.โ
I believe Peter Dutton should take legal action against Thorpe. Peter Dutton is not a racist. These endless adolescent smears and lies from the left can no longer go unchallenged. You cannot go around calling people ‘racists’ or ‘Nazis’ or ‘violent’ without incurring consequences, just ask John Pesutto. Moira Deeming was 100% right to pursue Pesutto for that ‘Nazi’ smear and Peter Dutton must now pursue Thorpe and demand an apology.
This goes to the heart of what I’ve often said on these pages, that for too long the right have ignored the defamatory smears and lies of the left. This must stop.
Cheers
you know, wheeling his power around the streets.โ
Was it in a shopping trolley?
Dunderhead.
Absolutely, Cassie. Trump has no hesitation in taking to Court and seeking damages from these people abusing their positions of power.
Dutton should do the same.

They’ve been told, by the people they trust, that these children are a danger to them and will grow up to be a danger to their Cult. So kill them they will, AND they will feel virtuous about it as well.
It must be a huge dopamine rush for these people. And don’t forget the paedophilic aspect of the slaughter – why little girls?
I bet these Jihadis doing this sort of thrillkilling would be tumescent.

Cats, we must hang our heads in shame, sackcloth and ashes, flagellating our backs at the doors of the hay truck stop.
I have an eyewitness account, from a properly constituted truckie of an unspeakable event we derided poor St Ruth for.
He claims a number of Indian truck drivers are squatting on the dolly behind the cab at truck stops and letting fly with last weeks vindaloo.
Rather than walking off into the scrub with a dunny roll and a picture magazine like the proper Aussies do.
Reminds me of a septic tank truck that would occasionally stop at the roadhouse I worked at. Had a slogan painted on it. “Yesterdays meals on wheels” .
If the SFL’S had any sense, they’d pay attention to the Cat. We provide free analysis on everything they do, yet how much attention is paid to the disaffected, disillusioned and generally pissed off with their direction and more importantly what to do about it coz from my perspective they haven’t a clue. Which is why they’re in the situation they find themselves.
Great painting; poor little pet, doing her scales.

Auschwitz Museum confirms Penny Wong will lead Australiaโs delegation to commemoration (Sky News, 23 Jan)
We see you, Albo. Insulting Israel on the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz is despicable.
The Mail has a piece, with photos, about the WA home invasion where the invader ended up dead. The home owner was not charged, rightly so.
Reading the piece, I reckon the dumb scrote ended being stabbed with his own machete.
Police only state that there was a struggle during which the scrote was fatally injured. Not one word about whether the home owner was able to grab something to use as a weapon, not one word about what actually caused the scrote’s injuries.
The proud Rorter Rorter mother of the scrote is mouthing the usual “we won’t rest until there is justice for poor, insert name here”.
What say you, fellow Cats?
I am very curious to know if you think I may be on the right track.
Heads up to the Cat who bequeathed us the “Rorter”, line. Thank you very much. ๐
The particular street is a cul de sac with mid range housing, with a lot of mine workers in the area. If the scrote entered a home intending to cause havoc, he succeeded.
Link to article in Perth Now is here.
The mother is quoting worksafe ideas that everyone who goes to work should return home safe at the end of the day. If your “work” involves home invasions then perhaps it is time to choose another career as un-aliving is a significant risk in the home invasion business.

I believe the home owner wacked the intruder in the head with a handy base ball bat.
Thanks CK.
I originally thought it maybe something like that. Although I still reckon the moron literally “fell on his sword”.
If it had been the bat, I believe the cops would have charged him automatically.
I’m not sure about that.
An intruder with a machete.
What are you supposed to do?
Ask him to be a decent chap and leave nicely?
As they say ” Better to be judged by twelve, than carried by six”.
The departed was hardly a choirboy.
I don’t have a baseball bat and my cricket bat has deteriorated too much with age.

National Indigenous Times, on the death of TYrone Smith.
Advocate Gerry Georgatos said systemic neglect, including a lack of post-custody support for people trying to re-integrate into society, has left young people like Mr Smith vulnerable.
“We are losing lives because deaths in custody and post-custody deaths have become a pattern,” Mr Georgatos said.
“There’s no post-custody assistance. If we’re not going to support these kids, we’re leaving them behind. Children today are being born with less opportunity than ever before.
“Tyrone should still be with us.”
Mr Georgatos highlighted broader systemic issues he says contributed to Mr Smith’s death, including the poverty and neglect that disproportionately impact First Nations communities.
“Sixty percent of First Nations people in this state live below the poverty line, and in some regions, it’s three out of four,” he said.
The family is calling for a thorough investigation into the events leading Mr Smith’s death.
“We need the truth,” Ms O’Loughlin said.
“Why did this happen? Was there excessive force?”
Mr Georgatos echoed the call for transparency, urging authorities to provide answers promptly.
“These questions need to be answered, and they need to be answered as fast as possible in every way permissible with the family,” he said.
