A quick glance at the lady doing the talking suggests she is white and very attractive.
However, that doesn’t mean she is intelligent. This just is not racism darling. To use your logic, being from a northern Australia ‘nation’ isn’t he on someone else’s land in Melbourne?
I am taking a stab in the dark, but I think you will find that black fellas do indeed celebrate this day in the same numbers as who rejected the referendum on Teh Voice. With an overwhelming majority.
Black fellas being told what to think about by white academics who offer no value to anything.
A quick glance at her Insta tells me all I need to know. Like all my indigenous friends, she’s as white as I am.

Look at meeeeeee! I’m a victim! And being a victim of waaaaycism is right at the top of the victim totem pole. Give the girl an elephant stamp and a box of tissues.
Calli I don’t think the lady is Aboriginal.
She’s speaking on behalf of Rioli.
+1000 saw a few flags displayed round Aitkenvale/Vincent over the weekend with Aboriginal flag.
Those suburbs of Townsville has a darker hue.
Also ran into a son of a bloke I used to drink with 20yo yesterday, an Indig guy. The son now a proud soldier (I recognised the uniform nametag & asked).
A lot are just like us. Got mortgages to pay, jobs to do and want to get on with life.
Ermergerd, like, a common invader person made EYE CONTACT with mer and mer partner, ernd, SPOKE WERDS AND STUFF ABOUT BEING HAPPY IN AUSTRALIER!
It shouldn’t happen to mer, don’t they like know who I am???
she is the main character here…
Lee said the incident had deeply affected Rioli Jr, who has a proud Indigenous family and heritage.
So the previous ‘welcome to country’ was insincere then?
If I said “Happy Australia day” to an aboriginal bloke, I’d mean it. I’d want him to understand that I hope he’ll enjoy himself as much as me, on a day when all Australians should feel glad to live in this country.
Happy Australia day to you, BB. You’re a good bloke.
Happy Australia Day to you also Doc
White and attractive
She looks like a bogan tart. The eyes and the luber lips look like they’ve had work. There’s nothing happening between those ears. Maurice wants to enjoy it while he can because the attention span will change soon.
I find welcome to my own country vastly more offensive.
Many thanks, Lizzie. I’ve just caught up with the magnum opus you filed in the OT on India at 1.51pm yesterday — a ripping read and most informative.

I really wish the legacy meja would hurry up and die. Highly paid smug morons. Eloi.
I think almost everyone heard the town’s name, Innamincka, but how many know its current state?
One for Your Bucket List
—————
The name Innamincka comes from the Yandruwandha words ‘Yini’ and ‘mingka’ meaning ‘your waterhole’.
In 1845, explorer Charles Sturt was the first white man to visit the Cooper Creek and passed through the Innamincka area. Augustus Gregory followed in 1858 searching for fellow explorer Ludwig Leichhardt.
The area’s most famous link with Australian pioneering history is with the ill-fated Burke and Wills expedition.
After setting off from Melbourne in August 1860, Burke and Wills reached the Cooper in November and set up camp on the banks of the creek north of Innamincka.
After reaching the top end and returning in April 1861, both Burke and Wills perished along the Cooper Creek a few months later.
Soon after, white settlement in the area saw the establishment of the Innamincka Station in 1872. Ten years later, a police outpost was set up followed by a general store two years later and the pub a year after that.
The town was actually proclaimed as ‘Hopetoun’ in 1890 after the Governor of Victoria. However, it was officially changed to Innamincka in 1892 after intense opposition to the proclaimed name.
The town continued to flourish and at one time included a blacksmith, school, hotel, police station, saddler and a few small houses. Until Federation in 1901, Innamincka prospered as a customs depot where state taxes were collected from increasing numbers of drovers who moved cattle from Queensland into South Australia and down the Strzelecki.
An Inland Mission Hospital/Nursing Home and Flying Doctor Base was established in 1929, but eventually, all facilities closed, and the town was abandoned in 1952.
Today, Innamincka is still a tiny outpost of a town with around 12 permanent residents, but also services visitors with:
• Sealed airstrip with night lighting
• Trading post/general store
• Fuel
• Homestay accommodation
• Coin-operated hot showers for campers
• Department for Environment, Water and Natural Resources (DEWNR)
Regional Headquarters
• AIM Museum and Visitor Interpretive Centre
Made a motza out of Innaminka when they hit it big in Brazil.
On a trip to the Outbreak many years ago our trusty Landcruiser developed a problem on our drive out to see the Dig Tree. We limped back into Innaminka where husband, in the broiling sun, attempted to diagnose the problem. I can recall holding a rug or something to try to protect him from the sun.
We had visions of having someone come from Broken Hill to tow it back for repairs, but genius husband detected a wiring problem – can’t recall the details but something had come awry on those horrific roads near Innaminka. Anyway, he fixed it but we didn’t go on to the Dig Tree. But we camped by the Cooper that night.
Years later we returned to Innaminka with a group of friends in a 4 WD expedition through that region and on to the Birdsville Track. By then the roads were much better, although I recall the road through Cordello Downs was still the stuff of night terrors.
That reminded me of MIL pub. A wonce thriving community dwindling down to just three.
Treasure those rare occasions.

Captured nearly a century ago, this photograph depicts the Greeks of Pontus, a community with profound historical connections along the southern shores of the Black Sea.

That hill looks to steep for trams, must be the way the photo was taken.
Must have been right on the limit of adhesion. If you look at the verandah on the right you can see how steep it is.
Trams typically could go up steeper grades than trains because of the lack of dragging weight. Here is a photo taken at Neutral Bay in Sydney
I love trams.
The council turned the old Wallsend-Glendale steam tram right of way into a shared path. It’s excellent, but the grade is pretty steep. Apparently if steam pressure was a bit low the passengers often had to get out and push.
It’s a fair old climb.
Sections of the old tram line still run along the top of the hill.
And that pic looks to have been taken only half-way up the hill.

DHS Secretary Hits New York to Get ‘Dirtbags Off the Streets’ (28 Jan)

The same thinking which had the Dimocrats scratching their heads on November 5th when demographics they “owned” swung heavily towards Trump – young black men, Latino – without Trump explicitly looking for policies which exclusively targeted them.
Clennell’s voice dripped with sarcasm when he addressed her by her full name and surname. My only thought was would he dare try that on any other media woman. Long ago there was a term for such a man – male chauvinist pig.

Someone has to raise it, so it may as well be me.
News started last night and has only amplified this morning that the Israeli authorities believe the Bibas family is dead. They were numbered amongst the large cohort to be released shortly. Hamas informed Israel that eight of the hostages were dead.
Families of the slain have been notified, but asked to remain silent until the swap is complete.
sob…
no words
Yes there are – murderers.
I’ll say no more of this despicable mob of loser cultists.
I have words but they are not printable.
This came up said by Margaret Thatcher in 1988 – truth like a crystal bell rings clearly and unambiguously, ever thus:
Israeli authorities believe the Bibas family is dead
It was known last week. I think Israel has confirmation that Shiri, Kfir and Ariel are dead. As for Yarden (the father), last seen being held by the Nazis in a cage, his fate remains unknown.
We need their bodies back, to provide them with the dignity of a Jewish funeral and to finally finally let their souls find rest.
Last year the always erudite and articulate Douglas Murray, never one to mince words, said that the Gazan Nazis are worse than the World War II Nazis. Murray was right.
Don’t ever let the left get away with saying they don’t approve of killing other human beings or of rape. They most certainly do approve of murder and rape, particularly when the victims of murder and rape are Jews or, for that matter, white working class indigenous English girls.
The Nazi left, like their Muslim pals, are SCUM. By the way, where’s our cowardly Nazi? What sayeth him?
I’m still in shock at the Markson interview with the NSWaffen cockroach. Rarely do words fail me but I’m in shock at what I viewed last night.
Oh and lastly, yesterday I viewed footage and pictures of smiling and laughing Nazi Gazans returning to Northern Gaza, I was relieved to see how fat and well fed these Nazis were (sarcasm)…..coz…coz…….coz weren’t we told that there’s been a Jewish instigated famine in Gaza? Isn’t Gaza ‘Auschwitz’ take two?
Yes. Daniel Hagari announced it officially last night, couching it in soft, but definite terms.
It’s a crime that cries out to heaven.
Words fail me. That beautiful little family…murdered.
I still live in the hope that they are alive. Poor people.
I’m personally enraged at our collective governments not taking action – i.e. Napalming Gaza to Hell and back – for their useless and cowardly stand on these animals.
All anal will do is hold a press conference to announce an inquiry into Australia delaying assistance to the ‘starving Palestinians’.

We are owed an apology from the Fake News Networks for their hyperbolic reporting. I’m not holding my breath.
One Gazan woman was on the telly this morning looking well fed and well dressed. We have yet to see any of them say either that Hamas are wonderful, or Hamas have ruined our lives. It’s a cert for the “two red buttons” poster on Week In Pictures.

Fleeced Townsville City Council too. Jenny Hill previous mayor feted these guys even though some ratepayers were sounding warnings on their inflated claims. Jenny & councillors got trips to the US out of it.
Yet Chrisifooli & incompetent LG minister are not going near the corruption like this.
Hamas have not provided a list of which hostages are dead, just stated that eight are dead which coincides with Israeli’s previous assessments.
The Bibas family’s latest statement two days ago clearly indicates they have some hope Shiri, Ariel and Kfir are alive.

Daytime Sky happy to run Caroline Kennedy’s hit job on RFK jr for his “dangerous views on vaccines”.
Once again the MSM avoids the issue. The dangerous views on vaccines were theirs. The dangers of mRNA were never talked about even though we knew they were there from the get-go. They report deaths of young athletes and others without mentioning that mRNA could be, probably is, implicated in these premature deaths.
Anything is an improvement from “Rachael” Levine.
I noticed she also floated the idea that he’s a “predator” citing his love of raptors as evidence.
Piddle or get off the pot Mz Kennedy. Exactly what are you accusing him of? Shadowy, unsubstantiated accusations are just not going to cut it in the new administration. They’re all too experienced to fall for it.
She’s very lefty with an advanced case of TDS. She is upset that RFK jr is now working with Trump.

Trump Admin Pulls $50M in Terror Condoms for Gaza (Daniel Greenfield, 28 Jan)
Yep, Hamas was literally using condoms for terrorism, by filling them with helium and using them to float incendiaries into Israeli forests.
Meanwhile, in Airstrip One, Two Tiers’ penchant for recruiting from the bottom of the talent well continues.
The Tax Trough is always open:
Queensland’s long-suffering taxpayers appear to be giving some public servants a nice little holiday under the guise of reproductive leave.
Taxpayers are forking out millions of dollars each year for paid sick leave for IVF treatments, vasectomy recovery, breast screening and other reproductive conditions under a policy unveiled by the former Labor government last year.
Queensland became the first state to offer its 265,000 public servants up to two weeks reproductive health leave each year as a sweetener before the state election.
But your diarist hears the leave is being exploited by some public servants undergoing vasectomies, who are unnecessarily taking the entire fortnight off for what is less painful than a tooth filling. These days laser vasectomy treatments are completed in little over an hour in a medical clinic with a local anaesthetic that allows the patient to leave immediately after the procedure. There may be some localised pain but side effects or complications are rare.
One medical insider tells City Beat that it beggars belief that someone would need two weeks for such a simple procedure.
Some doctors are now refusing to sign off on medical certificates for the entire two week period claiming it’s unnecessary and a waste of taxpayer funds.
Courier-Mail
I don’t mind the payment for breast screening. I think in private employment if a woman asked for a paid day to get a screening few bosses would say no.
A breast screening does’t take a day.
Perks like these could be recinded in the budget. If he too gutless to go near public servant numbers then start eating their benefits.
So far I have seen nothing from his government except business as usual with a little window dressing.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt Comes Out Swinging in Opening Statement in First Trump 2.0 Press Briefing
Jenna Howe: Daughter cut from will wins $250,000… now she’ll have a boob jobArthur Parashar
Daily Mail

Jenna Howe, 37, was disinherited by her father Roger Howe three years before he passed away leaving $2.7m after he branded her a “lazy, useless, lying druggie”.
Instead his mother, sister and two nephews inherited his fortune when he died in 2020 aged 55 after falling from a second-floor window.
His only child took her case to court and a judge has now ruled she should receive $250,000 to help her turn her life around, including paying for replacement breast implants.
Judge Mark Raeside said: “Throughout her life, she has been self-conscious about her body and I am quite satisfied this should be paid for by the estate.”
Ms Howe’s claim for around $895,000 was rejected but the sum awarded will cover $149 a week for “maintenance” for the next ten years plus help to clear her debts.
The judge said her finances were “precarious” and the beautician should get a lump sum “in light of her mental condition” which has made it almost impossible for her to work.
He had been urged by Ms Howe’s barrister to award cash for the cosmetic surgery, saying a traumatic childhood left her with “body dysmorphia”.
Central London County Court heard that Mr Howe had a “toxic” relationship with his daughter and had consistently “belittled” her.
Mr Howe was a technical genius who, at just 16, was making rigs for London pirate radio stations before building up a business selling equipment all over the world.
Caroline Kennedy, the daughter of a serial sexual predator, accuses her cousin RFK Jnr of being a predator.
Oh the irony!
Michael Shellenberger – The Biggest Issue With DEI Schemes
The smackdown delivered by JD Vance during his interview with her was a corker.
For those who haven’t seen it, she was trying to shame him over deportations, and the suspension of the Afghan refugee program.
She tried to trap him with “but if they have been vetted”, quoting Vance from August saying we should allow people who have been properly vetted to stay.
Emphasis on “properly”.
He cited the example of a refugee who had been vetted and got a visa but was planning a terrorist attack. She very smugly counters with “Yes, but we don’t know if was radicalised before he arrived, or afterwards”.
The response?
“I really don’t care, Margaret”.
It would have been better if he had gone with, “Frankly, Margaret, I don’t give a damn!”
But still pretty, pretty good.
He’s looking good to replace Trump.
Repulsive woman who has no idea how stupid and obnoxious she is. Vomits out Marxist talking points like an automaton.
Expel the Palestinians to Greenland!

I made that point last night.
There were reports that the White House were going to take back control of press briefings which had been controlled by CNN/MSNBC/WaPo/NYT.
Jim Acosta is on the skids at CNN. I suspect that they have been told that, if they send Jimmy to the White House briefings, they won’t be getting a ticket.
No, it’s more about persistently reading that the Chinese will never close the technological gap between it and the US for this or that reason and yet seeing story after story that this is looking more and more likely. But it’s instructive that you associate the political centre with ‘the system’.
Second raters taken by surprise:
They’re waiting for the election. If the Libs win they would probably do it, but they know Labor are vindictive arseholes, so they dare do nothing while Albo and Bowen hold sway.
You wouldn’t trust them with your money, eh? because their customers’ interests aren’t among their priorities.
The banks are going to regret going down this path and their Labor mates won’t be there to save them.
Australian banks asleep in a comfy cartel? That’s a surprise.
Properly vetting immigrants, legal or illegal from some countries is never going to be possible, for obvious reasons like lack of resources and uncooperative, say, lying authorities in those places. We reject a lot of Europeans and other developed countries where we can be sure of their background, while letting in totally unknown individuals from the stinking ar..ehole places of the world.
Deny access, rule that they are never going to be given asylum if they can’t prove who they are, and swear allegiance to the King, punishable by death.
The idea you could ever establish anything from somewhere like Afghanistan was and has always been a complete nonsense. 30yo “teenage” refugees was just the beginning.
A long time ago (Howard government) I did a review of ‘refugee’ claims which were reviewed by the Refugee Review Tribunal and the AAT.
Even then, when the numbers were much lower, it was a shitfest. Tribunal members mostly (but by no means exclusively) appointed by Labor consistently favoured the narratives from ‘asylum seekers’ absent any evidence at all.
When in doubt, they were believed. In the sure and certain knowledge that none of these people would ever live anywhere near them.
How could Karoline Leavitt expect to be taken seriously when she failed to announce her gender, race, sexual preference and pronouns when opening her first WH PC.
The big tell for me that she and/or her parents are bogans is spelling her Christian name — the beautiful classic Caroline — with a ‘K’ lke some Walmart trollop.
So, she, like JD, has risen from origins that might be a bit infra dig, to a podium at the White House. Bravo. Don’t underestimate her, Tom.
p.s. i’d never say a word against her (also neonymous) predecessor, Kayliegh McEnananany. Whooo boy, was she ever the full package. Karolyn got a lot to live up to.

More like this resembles the view of the Japanese aeronautical prowess in 1940 that thought their pilots were cross eyed and their aircraft flimsy bamboo and rice paper contraptions.
The Type O Naval fighter was arguable the best in the world in 1940. If the Germans had had them they’d have shot the RAF out of the air. Turn inside Spitfires and Hurricanes and the long range to be persistent over the operational area such that the Hurricanes and Spitfires would have had to land for lack of fuel and find the Zeros waiting for them when they took off.
There is the story of the Buffalo fighter, climbing skyward during the Malaysian campaign, while a Zero literally flew rings around it..
And yet the Finns loved the Buffalo. Maybe lower temperatures had something to do with it letting the engine develop more power.
I saw recently the myth that the Russians used there P-39s for ground attack mainly is wrong. They used them for air to air. Probably very competitive below 12000 feet.
The UN Palestinian relief agency UNRWA has failed in its mandate and will cease operations in Israel by Thursday, Israeli UN Ambassador Danny Danon told The Jerusalem Post on Tuesday.
Yes.
Also, my idea, any that work for UNRWA and wish to defy this order, can stay in Gaza, unpaid, unhoused and with no readies for bribes.
Yeah, that works. 😀
This should lead to one of two things
1/ the end of UNRWA (unlikely, but we cap hope)
or
2/ Arab states are forced to directly facilitate UNRWA’s work, rather than Israel.
Reflecting on the Markson interview with the putrid low IQ Waffen cockroach masquerading as a ‘NSW police officer’, a cockroach who would have been quite at home working for the SS eighty years ago, I think both Jew and non-Jew should be very concerned at what the low IQ cockroach said to Markson.
One thing is clear, the NSWaffen Police command is not interested in policing or enforcing the law, in protecting Jews or non-Jews. The NSW Police now exist to placate certain ‘identity groups’, particularly a group that inhabits large swathes of western Sydney.
This should concern us greatly. We might ask, when did this politicisation of the police begin? I believe it began at Cronulla, now 20 years ago. We saw it in action during the Lindt Cafe siege when NSW Plod command was too interested in assuaging the concerns of the co-religionists of the person was holding the people hostage in the Lindt Cafe. I have not forgotten this.
I am now firmly of the belief that if the Skaff rapes happened now, they would not be investigated by the NSW police because it would breach the multicultural lie they’ve signed up to, and the police would be too interested in either ignoring or burying the story due to ‘cultural sensitivities’.
I ask this question again, a valid question Markson should have asked the low IQ cockroach last night, on that Monday night 9 October 2023 why did the NSW police provide a police escort to a rabid, frothing, screeching and screaming group of Jew haters to walk from Sydney Town Hall to the Sydney Opera House, knowing that the Opera House was going to be lit up in the Israeli flag? Surely clever policing, appraising the situation, would have and should have stopped them walking down to the Opera House? But no, they allowed it. This is telling. I tell you why they allowed it, because the police men and women on the ground that night, on the orders of scum like the low IQ cockroach, told them to stand down in the face of leftist and Muslim Nazism.
Last night’s interview confirmed my deep loathing of the NSW Police.
I have no faith the NSW Police will ever protect me, what’s worse is that I have no faith they ever want to protect me.
The whole Lindt Cafe situation was shameful. Two Commando had built a replica of tha Cafe,and were planning how to storm it, but N.S.W. coppers were more worried about votes in Western Sydney electorates..
Including the males (note: not men) who ran out, leaving the girls to their fate, I might add.
It all fell apart when the cops focused on ‘public safety’ instead of enforcing the law. When immediate public safety is the aim, then the malevolent will win. Brooding, secretive and distributive violence of izlam will rule. An excellent example of the female need of ‘nesting’, keeping the immediate peace in the nest by giving way to the most noisy.
Enforcing the law is the real long term ‘public safety’.
Arguably worse than that.
Having (correctly) identified a street suddenly full of shrieking men of a Muslim/activist persuasion as a ‘public safety issue’, the authorities have reversed the issue into the long grass of excuses and equivocation.
Soft terrorism has won out.
Plenty of males who did the same thing in the name of ‘social cohesion.’
They have learned nothing. Just like in Britain where “Social cohesion” means not rocking the boat.
One day the boat is going to get scuppered by an outraged public sick of the protected specimens and their enablers taking the piss.
One of my brothers-in-law, a former member of Victoria Police, says that Man Monis could have been taken out by a sniper with a rifle at the Lindt Cafe siege.
He says it is a nonsensical claim by the NSW police that the window could have deflected the bullet.
Mate of mine ex-ADF basically said he’s seen better entries by IET soldiers.
The same teams now parade round in the SF cam uniforms even in suburbia, something I am against. Your a cop, specialised maybe so dress like a cop not paramilitary.

Another low trying to get organised out beyond New Caledonia is to be watched. That one is expected to drift west into our area.
Looks like Sam Abdulrahim is no more. For those interested, the tattoo across his chest (just above the 2022 bullet holes) loosely says that Ali is the one and his sword ( the spine splitter) is the best. Which indicates Sammy is Shia. But his wife, the S n G lawyer is or was a Maronite. Melbourne is such a multicultural success story. I note my Sunni mates are heating up about the Shia. Even Israel is minor compare to exterminating Iran and other Shia. Ahh the religion of peace.
“Which indicates Sammy is Shia”.

Good to see Trump’s signature stopping the removal of children where the parents wish to support the ‘healthy’ development of their children against transgenderism. Go to hell, all you vile social genderists imposing your will over that of parents and misleading a generation of children.
Some schools, Manly High so I was told today, have a ‘special room’ where ‘transgendering’ children can be ‘supported’ in their daily trials. This is a case of a school supporting children with mental delusions.
It should cease now.

this is being done to them and the machine that does it has become a captured thing that works in ways inimical to care or caring. it’s a monster of circular affirmation structures devoid of all safety or brakes and it’s doing untold, permanent damage to a lot of vulnerable children .”
Well said, that writer.
Happy to lend this writer some capital letters though, so that their sentences are less idiosyncratic. The standardisation of the written form of the English language and its punctuation that was kick-started by Tyndale’s bible is something to be proud of, not to fight against.
I say this too as someone who frequently eschews quotation marks for written speech, and more’s the pity. It is a bad habit. * Amor Towles sometimes does this too, and I find it irritates me.

Trump administration will offer all 2 million federal workers a buyout to resign (28 Jan)
I hope it’s more like 50%. They should think about it. Trump traditionally offers a deal with a juicy carrot and then, if rejected, a rather large stick.
The problem is that many of those who take the offer will be the ones who take their jobs seriously, while many of those who stay will do so only to gain opportunities for sabotage.
That is what happened when Howard offered 30k redundancies in 1996.
the ones you want to keep, took off to do things like a phd or start a business etc. or even young mothers keen to pay off the mortgage ($100k payout could easily do that in those days) and look after the kids until school.
The ones you wanted to get the flick complained to the tribunal people which ruled no forced redundancies.
similarly in Qld. The Beattie and Bligh Governments had a heap of voluntary redundancies. No political issue.
Newman did targeted redundancies. An opportunity to get rid of a lot of deadwood. This was portrayed as bad.

In 2015 I was reading peer reviewed psychiatric reporting out of the US (collating statistics of 10,000 affected parties over the ten previous years), making it clear mental health outcomes for the medically transitioned were diabolical. This was industry/sector briefing, not opinion published in the US press. (Then again, and not to appear facetious – a very close friend of some 40 years got his start working backstage for Les Girls in the Cross in the mid to late 70s, before eventually moving to Darwin. While he always has preferred the company of gentlemen he’s been quite frank about the mental health of the members of the troupe who got the chop, ‘They all lost their marbles.’)

Poor little blighters. Many were hoping when the first “three” hostages to be returned that it would be the mum and her two babies.
Sadly, there are reports that they were killed in an earlier airstrike.
You mean a Hamas report.
Far more likely that keeping a baby and a four year old boy in captivity was far more difficult than the ‘innocent civilian’ hostage takers envisaged and they killed them.
Snap, Rosie.
They should never have been put in harm’s way.

But what he can do is promise to issue additional banking licences to large international banks to set up in Australia if they commit to non-discriminatory lending.
And offer to move any existing government banking arrangements with the big four banks to the newcomers (yes, I know, core government stuff is mostly done via RBA, but there would be plenty of GBE’s with commercial banking arrangements).

I don’t get this stuff. Clennell can be a touch “smarmy” and self-righteous, but Peta – as much as I like and admire her – is too sensitive about the “wimminsy” thing.
Personally, I have no time for the argument that policy appeal should be focussed on women in order to secure votes. In this I agree with Peta. But she gets too uptight about the issue. That can also be divisive.
Good assessment, Vicki.
I don’t know. She’s making a pretty important point on principal. If I think of my Mum, my sister, my partner, my daughter – all fearsome and intelligent. Why shouldn’t Peta call out the stupid? I did not rate her as Abbott’s COS, and her behaviour behind closed doors, particularly within NSCC was that of a person who has lost perspective on what a COS is supposed to do. But as a journalist Peta is a gift to the nation. Dealing with idiots is dealing with idiots. Gender don’t come into it.

‘Dogs can see color, but only in shades of blue and yellow. Because dogs can only see two colors, they have dichromatic vision. They can also see shades of gray. Colors such as red, orange, and green are out of a dog’s color spectrum, so these colors are not visible to dogs. This is why hunters can wear orange to be visible to other hunters but not to animals. People have what’s called trichromatic vision, which means we can see a lot more colors than dogs.’

Trump wants to run the federal government off tariffs!
Which is exactly what I proposed a few years ago.
Some of you may remember a fair while back I summarised the history of tariff regimes under American administrations going back to the civil war.
And it was a fact that up until Reagan, all Republican administrations favoured tariffs and all Democrat administrations favoured increased taxes and reductions in tariffs.
Sometimes there were disputes among Republicans about tariffs. But Democrats have throughout history wanted lower tariffs and higher internal taxes and regulations.
Now, I have to thank Dot and JC for pushing back on me over this stuff, because without that I would never have done the work to find out, and I would not have the background historical information to understand the context of Trump’s current thoughts.
Originally when I was accused of being in favour of tariffs and a protectionist I accepted the premise that such was a bad thing. The arguments about protectionism sheltering bad practices and uncompetitive behaviour made sense.
But looking into the history of the thing, you do not see what you expect to see. You would assume that the conservative parties would want strong competition, therefore be against tariffs. You would expect the left who are and always have been economic wreckers to favour protectionism to damage industry.
That the opposite is the case brings us to Trump.
Trump sees regulation and the burden of taxation as the wrecker of economic and social progress.
”Free trade” is only something he favours where it is in alignment with his view of America’s geopolitical interests.
Furthermore when you read the literature that begat these free trade ideas that have to some extent been fetishised by academics, you see that Adam Smith never expected his ideas to be implemented in they way they have with respect to, for example China. He discounted the possibility that politicians and industrialists would neglect the national interest to pursue these purest, ideological policies.
I’m on board. From someone who argued that Australia should re-industrialise, why not? The ruddy western world has been imploding, why not try something out of left field?

Agree Vicki. Oh and Credlin is a fan of Nina Funnell. Enough said.
The acid test is whether policies to attract women voters work. What does the evidence suggest?
nah.
Women vote on the economy, just like everyone else.
Jobs, prices, opportunities and to punish failures.
And not just for women in those aspects. Most women have families, husbands, children, parents and siblings of both genders. They vote for family life and welfare and aren’t swayed by ‘women issues’.
Given that by-and-large women are really poor judges of men (look who they marry) it is not surprising that Dutto appears to have more of a women problem than Albo. Pandering to them is not generally successful.

Thanks Sancho, but my question concerns women voters in Australia. I’ll refine it a bit: would some kinds of policies shift woman voting in the Teal electorates? Perhaps they’re not deep thinkers and could be swayed.
A more general point is that Credlin needs to focus on the main game.
Teals aren’t independent. They’re not economically sane. Funding comes from a person you might describe as ‘hateful’ who appears to make a lot of money from subsidy harvesting. So what drives the vote? Well….it’s the vibe. You’re a professional woman living in a nice suburb, life is easy. Not all of the Teals are (completely) vacuous, they’re not entirely substance free, but there’s not a lot going on. Which is kind of a one-for-one reflection of their voter base. In a lot of ways they’re an actual manifestation of what the pejorative, ‘low information voter‘ is supposed to represent. They read The Age & The SMH. Watch the ABC. Attend writers festivals, think welcome to country is about respect, rather than a blunt political statement. They also possess an aggressive instinct to force people to live their lives according to the Teals agenda. An army of Porsche SUV driving brown-shirts enjoying a prosecco at sun-down.
They love this stuff in the US and it is becoming more popular here. Might work if you’re selling soap powder. I agree, massively overblown when it comes to elections.
It could be quite the “sugar hit” Roger, and others:

This bold statement rather depends on what’s in your ‘basket of goods’ – and how the RBA treats the electricity bribe.
The ABS reports that the main drivers of the fall in CPI inflation are due to lower electricity prices (ie handouts), fuel prices, and lower costs of new build housing.
Other sectors are still running hotter than required: rent, health, education, ‘services’ (chiefly insurance, by the look of things) – all way over 3% yoy (as in 5% and 6% yoy) and quarterly.
Cigs and grog up 6.2% (2% in the December Quarter alone) – which will be a big hit in pack-a-day households where mum and dad consume $700 worth of smokes each week.
The ABS ‘trimmed inflation’ is 3.2% – which discounts the one-off effects, such as the electricity bribes.
If we see a rate cut, the RBA has surrendered.
Thanks DrF.
I somehow completely forgot about the dampening effect of energy rebates on inflation so will still be interesting to see headline figures minus the rebates….
You won’t as the RBA are smarter than that.

What a fool.
To ignore the other side of the equation.
Of course you can replace income taxes with tariffs, IF you gut government.
Trump will likely lose entire departments such as Education.
He will curb waste.
But eventually he will have to cut entitlements and shift much of Defence spending onto the currently delinquent allies.
Increasing thrift will result in good investments, which will make more products available. greater economic activity meaning both less reliance on government and a virtuous cycle of a bigger private sector and smaller government.
658B in interest payments
707B in Medicaid and Obamacare
832B in Medicare
893B other manditory payment
1,326B in social security
1,719B in discretionary spending
You’re going to get around 1700Bish from payroll tax, 450Bish from corporate tax, and 250Bish from other federal taxes.
You only really get to minimize discretionary spending, how are you going to make up around 4 trillion dollars with tariffs and not widen the deficit. Even if you halved discretionary spending you are still going to be endure 1T$ budget deficits. And those ‘delinquent allies’ facing very high barriers to entry into the American market, expropriation of Allies territories, and the like may just have their fill and go elsewhere.
Tariffs don’t work.

I am in India at the moment and can confirm this observation.
On the way over we stayed at an airport close to SYD airport. The room was tired looking and cost us a pile of money for the night.

With income taxes at or near zero, not only do citizens surge back into workforce participation, making the migrant workforce no longer required, but companies have a native market with real wealth to spend on products.
US factories produce at new levels of efficiency as regulations are slashed and AI identifies new and better processes.
US allies are forced to pay their way for collective defence and spend into US manufactured arms.
They are also forced to drop their own tariffs and take American goods.
The world adopts a general tariff between 3 to 5% meaning manufacturing sprouts up across the globe.
The cynical green order and climate lie is overthrown and without the motivation and excuses to destroy other country’s manufacturing bases, all around the world local environmental standards improve at the same time as new manufacturing capacity is built out.
IA drives efficiencies in automation which means the requirement to build all new AI optimised factories, and supply chains, making the current crop of Chinese mega factories old generation and out of date.
The US has very progressive income taxes. Unlike Europe there’s no nation wide VAT or sales tax. In fact US, progressivity is steeper than Europe’s.
Best to impose a national sales tax on both domestic and imported goods to remove income taxes. How about corp taxes?
It would never get through though
