Mel Gibson to Begin Shooting ‘The Resurrection of the Christ’ in August (27 Mar)
I wish him well in this ambition. While I’m not someone who watches such movies (well, except for Ben Hur, but that’s about it) I know the original movie resonated around the world. Which is a good thing.
It resonated in his chequebook. That movie elevated him to a new level.
Before the movie, he was working for wages, $20 – $30 – perhaps even $40 million per movie, and making Two movies a year, sometimes Three.
Good money alright.
The movie & associated licencing, merchandising, etc. made him something in the region of $1.2 Billion (& likely still trickling in)
Or if you like, that one movie was a quantum leap that paid him what would have taken Thirty years to earn on top level movie star wages.
The original Ben Hur with Charlton Heston was great, the re-make was rubbish from the bits I have seen.
Talk is Gibson is running against cackles for Governor of californication.
Dear God ..! Its alwayz about him .. all he had to say was,
“Right you furgling load of drongoes it’s on .. me and “dumbo” head to head & remember vote often & Labor” … FFS! ?
The Prime Minister choked back tears as he spoke movingly about his late mother and Australian values.
?The Australian way is that we look after each other, is that we’re a country that in the language that we use with each other – fair dinkum, fair go – they’re part of the Australian lexicon,’ Mr Albanese told reporters. He then held up a Medicare card, adding: This card is part of Australian values.’ ‘The Australian values that say when Kerry Packer has a heart attack, he goes to the emergency department at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, the same hospital that I went to when I had my car accident when I was leader of the Labor Party in January 2020, got the same level of care,’ he added. ‘But more importantly than that. I was in the same room that my mum was in, when as an invalid pensioner, she got taken up the road, and she never left RPA. ‘But she got the same care that Kerry Packer got. They’re the Australian values. That’s what I’ll fight for.’
In the very same room as dear old mum?
Plausible.
And after he left Emergency, Packer moved to a private hospital.
He also funded “Packer Whackers” for every ambulance in NSW.
Did either Abalone or his “Mum” do that?
He can’t help himself, he has to lie all the time.
IIRC he offered the NSW govt dollar-for-dollar to fund one in each ambulance vehicle.
On accounta he was saved only coz the ambulance transport vehicle that attended him just happened to be equipped with a defibrillator, one of few, very few, that were.
Nick Greiner (premier at the time) said, “You can’t refuse an offer like that”
Quite correct!
I have tears in my eyes too. For crying out loud. Tell us again about the private schooling. What’s that Luigi, you’ll have to speak up, all I hear is crickets.
same room, same graffiti
Haha, he holds the lexicon so highly he is importing vote herds who will never use it or understand its subtleties.

That pic says it all. A loathsome liar (BIRM) holding up a medicare card. That card is a symbol of the holiest of sacred cows for them and they’ve been trading on it for years. They have used it on unaccountable occasions to beat the opposition with scare tactics and will continue to do so forever. Never mind it’s devastating effect on the availability of general practice services in disadvantaged and regional areas and public hospital beds. Only last week I received a flyer from the local liars member who has been invisible for the last three years boasting about setting up a “free” medical clinic here in area well served by family medicine clinics. We’ll see how that goes. I seem to remember Gillard spruiking “superclinics” of which very few actually existed.
A pox on them!
Playing on public sympathy again.
How low can you go?
Did he really say that? How vomit. I missed it, because had to take the spouse in to the Queens Wharf pub for Friday beers with his old sailing mates.

I did a jigsaw. Had “3 to 8 years” on the box.
Did it in six months flat!!
Winning!
“Smash her!”
And after he left Emergency, Packer moved to a private hospital.
Correct, and there’s a big wing in St Vincent’s Private hospital named after the Packer family.
Apparently he funded the wing, and told them they could use it any time, except that he would have priority if he needed treatment.
Net zero carbon?
How about net zero population?

Nothing more Australian than having a bludge.
I’ll tell you what’s “un-Australian”.
The numbers of swarthy, Third Worlders who are making crime a national pastime.
He didn’t do it tough. His Mum did.
Dutton’s press conference was impressive. He handled all the questions calmly whilst using the opportunity to reinforce his key messages and why his policies would work.
In the next five weeks, remember that conservative voters are reluctant to tell pollsters how they will vote so the LNP vote is almost always understated.
Doesn’t matter how good he might have been. How was it reported?
Dutton calls out Voice failure in PM bid
“The Prime Minister spent the first half of this term of Parliament obsessed with the Voice,” Mr Dutton said.
The Coalition Leader said this meant Mr Albanese and Labor neglected the economy and tackling inflation.
“Because of his bad decisions, Australians are doing it tough and they need help,” Mr Dutton said.
“Worse still for many, they’re losing hope for their future, 29,000 small businesses have gone broke over the course of the Albanese Government’s first term.
“I don’t believe that we can simply afford to continue down the current path, and that means that we can’t afford three more years of Labor.”
Albo is a Dago, an Italian guy I worked with said the reason Italy is shaped like a boot is because they couldn’t fit that much sh!t in shoe.

RTWT at The Critic.
I should add that all “mainstream” Christian denominations in the West have been through something similar since the 1960s – high ranking clerics who are called to be the guardians of the faith instead subverted that faith, leaving the laity who were brought up to profess and live by it confused and demoralised. What were originally touted as reforms necessary for the church to appeal to the modern world have instead enervated the institutional church and led to a crisis of faith and morals that has contributed to the general malaise abroad in our societies.
Chesterton or Belloc made the point that administering the Mass in different languages meant that any Catholic could no longer participate in a Mass in every church in any country.
I’m not Catholic, but I can see the diwnsudes of this result.
Not sure that was a very strong argument at the time, Rafiki. Until recently (i.e. the mid 20th C.) most people didn’t travel outside their home country unless they were migrating. And anyone who doubts that liturgical texts can be rendered reverently in common languages needs only to read Cranmer’s Book of Common Prayer.
Be that as it may, the bigger changes (from the trad Catholic pov) in the Novus Ordo Missae are doctrinal.
Here’s a critique from reputable sources for anyone who wants to explore this further.
I’m not a Catholic either, but I think the trad Catholics have a some very good points if one accepts their doctrinal framework for argument’s sake.

Lancashire prison governor denies alleged relationship with drug gang leader inmatehttps://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/mar/27/lancashire-prison-governor-denies-alleged-relationship-with-drug-gang-leader-inmate
A former “rising star in the prison service” who was promoted from graduate entrant to governor of HMP Kirkham in just six years
…
It is alleged Kerri Pegg, 42, became “emotionally and personally involved with a serving prisoner”, Anthony Saunderson, the boss of a drug dealing gang who used the Pinkman name as a handle during secret communications with other criminals. He has since been convicted of drug trafficking.
Pegg also denied one count of possessing criminal property, a £12,000 black Mercedes that jurors at Preston crown court heard Saunderson had bought using 34kg of amphetamines and given to Pegg as a gift.
….
But it was luuuuurve!
Both he and Pegg used burner phones to keep in touch, and there were 80 calls and texts from his phone to hers in the space of a month, the court heard. The only other numbers dialled on Saunderson’s phone were to “prostitutes and escorts”, retired detective constable Kevin Byrne, of the National Crime Agency, told the court.

Never throw away anything. Recently my notorious Hills Hoist fell over. Hmm, what do I do? Buy a new one?
Snapped at the base due to rust right at ground level. Got out a torch and had a look at the hole and the shaft of the Hills Hoist. The tube in the ground below the break had a couple of indents in it. Dunno why. But it gave me an idea…
Yep, deep in my shed I found what I wanted, a short galvanized star picket which I’ve had for thirty years. Tried it out. It slid in perfectly between the indents…but was 10cm too long. Hacksaw fixed that.
Slide the star picket down the hole, lifted the Hills Hoist over and onto it. Fixed!
My elderly neighbour saw me later in the afternoon, pointed and said wuh? She’d seen the Hills Hoist sadly lying on my lawn. I explained. Many many brownie points were accumulated.
Indents are to stop the pipe twisting in the cement footing.
I remember you mentioning it.

Yes there is.
There’s another one that says they don’t root their subordinates.
Said to a senior officer – “Drop a skirt size and stop rooting the Apprentices and you’ll get your posting to BAOR.”
I think he had to do that as some other numpty spoke out about the obvious and how they would be very happy with an extra 25 F-35s as announced by Dutton

I am looking forward to being approached by spruikers for the Greens and informing them that I don’t vote for Nazis.
If I’m approached I always say I’ll vote for the liars or slime. That way they get a false sense of security and and it’s a small step towards undermining the reputation of the pollsters if the vote goes the other way.
The more extreme policy positions for them you can claim to support is all the better too.

It was also a short SF story in one of the SF magazines in the late ’60’s. Only it wasn’t remote controlled – it was possessed by an alien in a Pacific Island just after the war.
65 years ago and I can still remember the story.
Keke’s Guadalcanal’s Freedom Fighters grabbed a Cat bulldozer from the Gold Ridge gold mine and used the blade and a bunch of welded steel plates to the frame with a small slit for the driver to see between the dozer blade and the plates. I believe a MAG58 machine gun was mounted on the blade with the crew mostly protected by the blade..
Was used apparently in a couple of battles round Honiara with Malaita eagle Force before our boys & Kiwis arrived on Red Beach in 2003 alighting from Kanimbla & Manoora.
I’ve seen pics of it. Amazing in it ingenuity.
I did say this.
Um, that’s the idea.
If they dig them out you collapse them again. It works.
I am applying this technique to the ants in the back yard.
How many days/weeks/months now?
I am trying the same strategy this very wet season with the massive number of mushroom and other fungi heads in my lawn. Removing them every morning for weeks. Hasn’t made much of a difference although I suspect they are being drowned at the moment.
1573mm so far this wet season, with another ten days or so of monsoonal flow to go before things start drying up. That is about fifty percent more than total annual rainfall.
The La Niña when you don’t have a La Niña. Pity can’t send some of it to Adelaide.
Only the entrances that can be quickly rebuilt is not enough. When I raised this early in the week it was to question the idea that conventional bunker busters were enough. The only thing that makes sense for sites like Fordow is a MOP with a low yield nuclear warhead.
ummm, how about repeating the bombing in the same spot. The hole gets bigger.
Did you want to collapse the entrance or open it?
They aren’t just targeting entrances , they’re also attempting to destroy the tunnels, and you do this by hitting the same spot until it collapses. Doesn’t Deep Six explain this?
You have multiple entrances and tunnels. The tunnels are more well protected then the entrances because they are further into the mountain side. They have excavating equipment in the tunnels themselves.
The objective is to destroy what’s inside the tunnels and if they keep hitting the right spots repeatedly the tunnels will give . Your excavation theory also has a flaw. Don’t you think they have sat imagery of any activity around these entrances. Would you be willing to operate an excavator under those circumstances ?
I’m sure they surveil known entrances but what of unknown entrances difficult to surveil with satellites?
But to return to my earlier point, if the objective is to destroy the underground facilities, why not simply use a MOP with a tactical nuclear warhead rather then relying on multiple hits using conventional weapons and crossing your fingers?
The US is not going to use a nuke for this.
Oh, OK.
Why not, if they can blame the Iranians for poor design and shoddy workmanship?
That’s a win win!
Actually, has the West worked out Iran’s 6 nukes plans?
it works about as well as cratering runways…. ie less than a day
Next day…closed again. Repeat until bored.
When you think of all the groups in the West who are now open and aggressively pursuing an anti-West agenda you also wonder when the fightback will begin in earnest:
Lawsuit Alleges Columbia Anti-Israel Groups had Advanced Knowledge of October 7th Attacks
The judicial attack on Trump is palpable:
DC Appellate Court Denies Trump Adm Request to Lift Boasberg Ban
Here in Australia the judicial attacks are just as pronounced: from the extraordinary Judgment against Pauline in favour of that hideous skank faruqi, to the expansion of the Mabu Judgment, itself the worst and most damaging judge made law judgment in Australian history.
If true, FMD:
Alex Wong is the individual who added Jeffrey Goldberg to the Signal chat.
Alex Wong is Mike Walz’ National Security Advisor.
Laura Loomer did a deep dive on this guy.
– Alex Wong, the Chinese Deputy National Security Advisor is married to U.S. Attorney Candice Chiu Wong, a Chinese Woman who was one of the key attorneys involved in PROSECUTING J6ers.
– Alex’s wife, Candice Chiu Wong, worked under the Obama admin and the Biden admin as an Assistant United States Attorney for the District of Columbia, where she led the Violence Reduction and Trafficking Offenses Section for more than two years.
– She was involved in the prosecution of many J6ers during the Biden regime, under which she was nominated to become a Member of the United States Sentencing Commission. Additionally, Candice Chiu Wong served as a Law Clerk to Obama-appointed US Supreme Court Justice Sonia M. Sotomayor!
– Making matters worse, Alex Wong worked for Covington & Burling which is one of the law firms the President recently stripped of its security clearance and terminated all of their government contracts via Executive Order on February 25th, 2025. Trump accused Covington LLP of being involved in the weaponization of government.
– Given the Chinese connections, it really makes you wonder if Jeffrey Goldberg was added to the Trump Signal chat on purpose as part of a foreign opp to embarrass the Trump admin on behalf of China.
SIDE NOTE:
Jeffrey Goldberg said a “war plan” was released that contained “precise information about weapons packages, targets, and timing.”.
THAT WAS A LIE.
What Goldberg actually released—something he could have shared from the start—is not a “war plan.” There are no names, no specific targets or locations, and no coordinates. It basically just says some F-18s will strike a terrorist somewhere today.
Alex Wong needs to be investigated and terminated.
Facebook
Weren’t there enough red flags on this guy? Why the hell did he have the job in the first place?
They all need to go through their staff with a fine tooth comb. Maybe get one of the DOGE boffins onto it – they should be able to winkle out all the connections.
I wonder how many other left wing journos Alex Wong had on speed-dial. He cannot expect to keep his job, given the above.
The fcuking surname alone should disqualify it.
If this is true then this is the unpardonable sin. Why wasn’t he let go as soon as the new admin was sworn in? This should be the reason to fire Walz.
It is entirely possible that he is a full on trumper hooked up with a leftie because passion and a love of making up after a fight.
Always be cautious of attributing to malfeasance when it could be a simple cockup.
I have the feeling that the initial euphoria is over, the old Trump failure of appointing not only incompetents but traitors to his cause is emerging.
Hope he can overcome these setbacks and function properly as president but I doubt it.
Making blustering speeches at rallies is one thing, governing a country like the US is another.
Who are the incompetents and traitors he’s appointed. Name one of his cabinet that fits into that category?
All of them, Katie.
Remain in your cage, Fatboy. Only respond when asked.
Piss off, Nazi.
The main problem is that this was discussed on Signal, not that a trusted neocon from the Atlantic was included in the chat.
Signal is an approved system the US government uses for communications. There’s nothing internal that is even close to offering a similar service.
The issue is how did Goldberg get on the system?
Your “main problem” doesn’t exist. It only exists in leftwing media attempting to make hay out of it. Is that where you got it from?
You reckon the secured lines used in COMSEC are less secure then Signal? Come on.
Goldberg’s a neocon. He was either deliberately or inadvertently put on the group chat to background him or because they already talk with him.
The idea that this problem only exists in left wing media is interesting.
The US government system is prehistoric from all accounts, which is why they migrated to Signal.
It was an op. Someone plugged him into the conversations. Like 48 hours later, two of the most poisonous snakes born in the 20th century—David Brock and Norm Eisen—had arranged a lawsuit, and with a probability of zero, the case ended up with Boasberg. Sure.
The left-wing media is trying to pump this up as a 10/10 scandal, but as I said last evening, it rates about 0.5 out of 10.
There was zero chance of this getting to the Yemenis on time. Hegseth was trying to fill in the rest of the national security team on what was going on about two hours before the hit.
There was no way the Tootsies could’ve listened in, as they wouldn’t have had the scope. The Russians, Iranians, and Chinese wouldn’t have alerted the Tootsies because, even if they did have the capability, they wouldn’t have shut down this asset just to help the Tootsies.
The whole thing was an inside operation.
Re 1, COMSEC is nor prehistoric.
Re 2, maybe, but dependent on this group chat channel.
Re 3, I’m absolutely certain that if this happened 5 months earlier under Austin you’d be rating this above a 0.5/10.
Re 4, call a meeting and let them know. If they can’t make it they can be briefed when they can or get them on a secure line.
Re 5, you’re going to count on the Yemenis not being able to breech Signal? Or on Russia, Iran, China not having this capability? You could easily warn the Yemeis without signalling this ability, by simply dispersing the assets being targeted and just carrying on the defence as usual.
Just laughable.
You’re actually entertaining the possibility that a shithole with this level of per capita income could have the knowledge to break into an encrypted comms system like Signal? This makes my day. They can barely feed their camels.
I’ve heard this for over 12 months and yet they successfully closed off the Red Sea. Their camels are doing OK.
With Iranian weapons. Given to them for free to attack commercial shipping.
That’s quite possibly the most obviously absurd thing I’ve ever seen you say.
The user error of accidentally including an unauthorised member in the chat, which no technical feature can prevent, was the cause of the leak.
I’ve not used Signal. If it’s anything like Telegram I can see how it might happen.
Still, as I’ve argued the cause of the leak was having this discussed on Signal rather than COMSEC.
Tony Maddox takes appeal against guilty verdict all the way through courtsMW
By Mel Williams
Updated March 27 2025 – 8:16am, first published 7:00am
0 Comments
Toodyay land owner Tony Maddox this week lodged an appeal against his recent guilty verdict for breaching Western Australia’s unamended Aboriginal Heritage Act 1972.
The verdict was handed down earlier this month due to works he carried out on a creek crossing on his property in 2022.
With several court deferrals and adjournments, it took 12-months to get to the stage where Magistrate Andrew Matthews gave his reserve decision – fining Mr Maddox $2000 and granting him a spent conviction.
He was also ordered to pay court costs of $5000 and estimates his own legal fees have come to about $100,000.
Under the unamended act, the maximum penalty Mr Maddox faced was nine months in jail and a $20,000 fine.
In a separate court case two weeks ago, it is understood the Shire of Toodyay was fined $8000, suspended for 12 months, after employing contractors to conduct emergency repairs to three waterway crossings without seeking approval.
In both the Maddox and Shire cases, it was claimed earthworks breached the Aboriginal Heritage Act by disturbing a Waugul, which is a rainbow serpent that is central to Noongar mythology.
The Shire of Toodyay and its legal representative Joel Speldewinde would not comment to Farm Weekly about the details or outcome of their case.
ABC Radio reported that the Shire of Toodyay was originally charged in the Northam Magistrates Court with 10 counts of excavating, damaging or altering an Aboriginal site, but six charges were dropped and guilty pleas were entered on the remaining four charges.
It said the court heard the Shire of Toodyay breached the Aboriginal Heritage Act when it hired contractors to undertake repairs to existing river crossings in Coondle and Bejoording in February 2023 and moved rocks into riverbanks with machinery.
It was argued the Shire should have sought consent for the works from the Minister of Aboriginal Affairs and the Registrar of Aboriginal Sites, which it failed to do.
The ABC reported that Magistrate Sarah Oliver said the offences were not trivial and that strong legislative compliance was needed to ensure the preservation of Aboriginal culture.
“Preservation of Aboriginal culture” – what , about Aboriginal culture, is WORTH preserving?
Any mention of possible bias with Matthews being an identified Indigenie?
How many adjournments were there?
The word that reached my ears was there were eight adjournments.
This bullshit is the number 1 problem facing Australia; with global boiling and the muzzies coming close behind.
strong legislative compliance was needed to ensure
the preservation of Aboriginal culturethe establishment of the new cult of the Holy Aboriginal People, and all of the tribute which should flow to it.These supply chain issues are now getting beyond irritation.
Got something on order that keeps getting delayed.
Accepted a weeks delay for Cyclone Alfred though the supplier was offline for only 2 days but just got delayed again.
Just conveyed my displeasure to the firm doing the job and assured that it wasn’t directed at them. However I had some words at what I think about the bracket creep with these delays and how 2 days becomes 7 days.
Personally I wouldn’t be surprise some of the materials or floor space is already being directed at Brisbane with an expedited supply fee of course…
From the Oz.
A NSW Police officer who said ‘bugger it’ before fatally tasering a great grandmother at a nursing home in rural NSW will not spend any time behind bars, a Supreme Court judge has ruled.
Senior Constable Kristian White, 34, was found guilty in November of the manslaughter of Clare Nowland, 95, following a trial in the NSW Supreme Court.
White was sentenced to a two year community corrections order in the Supreme Court on Friday.
Under the conditions, White is to perform 425 hours of community service and is not to commit any further offence.
FMD
The Police are a dangerous gang, aren’t they?
What a brave man that Cvntstable White is.
Those 95 year old great-grandmothers with steak knives are obviously the most dangerous threat we face at present.
A big fat plod wasn’t brave enough to quietly walk up to a 95 year old fragile lady and quietly remove the knife from her withered hand.
While wearing body protection?
NSW plod and courts are so strong.
If it was that easy then why did the nursing staff and the security staff of the nursing home fail to do just that? People who don’t work in the industry think it’s all sweetness and light. Some of those oldies can have spurts of violent reactions.
Agreed. While I’m no longer a fan of our various police ‘services’, I can see how this situation would have been more complex than what the tragic outcome has implied.
The staff of the nursing home risked disciplinary or even legal action by attempting to ‘disarm’ the old dear (beyond their scope of practice, even for licensed security), not to mention physical injury.
For the police officers, ANY physical attempt could have resulted in the woman’s fall. The only safe option may have been to remove any other person in potential danger from the scene, confine Mrs. Nowland to a set area, and wait it out. That consumes police resources for an indefinite period, of course, but then, that happens with any residential siege or suspected hostage situation, where considerably more resources are required.
I’m not aware if self-harm was an issue, so confinement could have raised the potential for that to occur also. The anxiety of a confrontation might have been an issue in the case of a pre-existing heart condition too.
We can all be experts from the safety of our phones or keyboards, but perhaps more patience was required.
Perhaps making the lady a cup of tea, may have settled the situation, and I’m not bloody joking – having been in precisely this situation before.
It should have been settled at ward staff level before it escalated.
2 year corrections order WTF.
Awesome, government advertising to non english speakers they can migrate here as unskilled migrants and we will train thm up…

Neither; but like I keep saying the lnp are the lessor of 2 evils and there is some hope what you want will happen with them. There is NO chance with the liars because the filth and the shit teals are cranking their corpuscles.
Agree. Have to go with the less bad option. It’s not a rehearsal. Self defeating holding out for some ideal government that will never happen. Anyway Dutton is not Anal and he’s not Trumbull. A good start.
I agree the LNP are the lesser of two evils and the two-party system is totally rigged in those parties’ favour.
And, cut immigration? I agree but as have been pointing out here over the last few weeks. Australia has got an ageing problem (and the loss of taxpayers Vs growth of aged care/hospitals etc. The loss of taxpayers isn’t easily solved since every Western country is facing the same problem which means to stop the population from reducing you’re gonna need 3rd world replacements = not immediate taxpayers). Fertility projections by 2030 at 1.3 means deaths will outweigh births by 2040. The population would halve by 2080-ish.
I guess that’s one way to get to Net Zero.
And, more seriously, I wonder if these crazy climate scientists actually calculate Australia’s declining population into their crazy stats?
Why would they? That would reduce the alarmism of their “predictions”!
But if you replace whitey with darkie, then all you end up with in 2080 is brown. The Australia of the 20th century completely disappears.
What to do?
Perhaps assertive family friendly policies would help address that long term problem?
I’m with this suggestion. However it can be achieved.
Filling up the place with Uber drivers or even worse as someone posted above semi literate Mexicans isn’t the solution.

Barack Obama Visa Scandal: Obama was giving “fast pass, no look, expedited visas” to his political donors. NO CHECKS NEEDED
The person Obama had doing the approvals was Alejandro Mayorkas (WOW)
“The Alejandro Mayorkas visa scandal from when he was in the Obama DHS and he was the deputy there. I believe it’s 2015. The guy who was our head of DHS, which is the domestic interplay with all these foreign blob organizations, was busted by his own Inspector General in this, in doing fast pass, no look, expedited visas for Obama’s political donors and not have putting it through the process”

Breaking exposé! The Ukrainian org, Molfar, that created the US conservatives enemies list are partnered not only with EU and USA gov orgs, but with shadowy Chemonics!
Part 2, Chemonics the complicated Molfar partner. What did we just find here?
We will be reviewing the inter connectivity of:
– Chemonics
– Valent Project
– Project Alchemy
– Center For Countering Digital Hate (CCDH)
– USAID
– NDI (CIA NED)
– Labour Together
– European Endowment for Democracy
– Integrity Initiative
– plus more
USAID worked with Chemonics on at least three occasions. Likely a lot more.
Also funding Chemonics was USAID, Bellingcat (Integrity Initiative), and Restless Development. Recall that CCDH also worked with Restless Development.
UK’s Valent Projects, had a contract with Chemonics.
Valent Project works with the Center For Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) and Labour together. Labour Together created CCDH.
Amil Khan of Valent Project, was a member of Project Alchemy’s info ops team. Khan was hyped as a ‘StratComms Ninja. They were tracking pro-Russian disinfo targeting key audiences in key countries. Valent Projects was also used for astroturfing.
Amil Khan, the founder of Valent Project, and also a member of Project Alchemy, was also in the Integrity Initiatives Expose Network. Recall the Integrity Initiative was also big on Russian disinfo and fact checking. The Integrity Initiative also involved the 77th psyop brigade.
According to leaked files, Project Alchemy’s information operations were assigned to a member of the British Army’s psychological warfare unit, the 77th Brigade.
This all sounds like a huge lead on what’s happening in the US and globally.
I could use help on this project.

One of the oddities of the Federal Election will be Mia Davies in the seat of Bullwinkle.
It’s always been a weird system with WA, Nats and LNP. I don’t think it happens in any other State.
If Mia wins, when she’s on her way to Perth airport to fly to Canberra, she’ll be wearing green and gold (WA Nats colours), as she crosses into Canberran sovereignty, she’ll need to switch her shirt to blue LNP as green and gold in not permitted.
I’ve known Mia quite well and she’s a great person (but with terrible leftist policies).
she’s a great person (but with terrible leftist policies).
Nah, can’t be both. I bet she has TDS. So fuk her.
Agree
This is the Mia Davies, who resigned from State parliament, because she had “nothing left in the tank?” Sorry, my money is on Matt Moran to win the seat.
Mia’s alright- i knew her before she was famous.
But she’s a family trust politician, not a conviction one. I think she’ll fade away, maybe get a few board seats to see out her years.
That’s a no from me then, shame.

I really enjoy quantum physics. It’s best features:
1 Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle: you can only know either a particle’s position or its movement, not both.
2 Quantum Entanglement. There is effectively no distance between quantum particles even if they are at opposite ends of the Universe.
3 Quantum particles can be both one particle or a mass of potential particles or a wave.
4 Quantum Superposition. A quantum particle can be everywhere at once.
5 Quantum Tunnelling. Quantum particles can pass through any barrier, even time.
6 Quantum Observation. Nothing is certain in the quantum world until it is observed and even then nothing is settled: see Heisenberg.
7 Quantum Decoherence. Quantum weirdness stops at the classical Newtonian reality.
8 The Quantum Vacuum. Even in a perfect vacuum, quantum particles move in and out of it. Where do they come from and where do they go. See Casimir.
9 Quantum Gravity. There is none, no gravity at the quantum level.
10 Multiple Quantum Universes. This is the logical conclusion of the above attributes of the quantum world: an infinite number of universes.
Quantum Mutnauq: everything is its opposite at the same time, including this ecnetnes.

I think Dutton should brief an “envoy” (not Kokoda Kev) to open back-channel communication with Orange Hitler.
Propose that, if elected, Dutton would drop the Paris Accord net-zero shit in return for a zero tariff trade agreement with the Tangerine Regime (including US retaliation against any other nation who tries to impose punitive measures on us).
The real question here is whether Trump wants to one of the few bailing on net-zero to give the US a competitive advantage or whether he wants to rid the world of this madness.
If the former, he probably won’t be interested. If the latter, we could be on a winner.
Has Dutton got Greg Norman’s number?
He could nut the basics out with Trump over a round of golf.
Why bother with the middleman when you could just go straight to Putin. Those GRU social media bots need a new target.

In the video “Why Do Modern Movies Suck So Much?” featured on Chris Williamson’s channel, the discussion focuses on the current state of the film industry, highlighting the decline of iconic franchises like James Bond, Star Wars, and certain superhero movies. It points out how corporatization and the focus on exploiting intellectual properties (IPs) have led to uninspired spin-offs, which often dilute the original appeal of these beloved narratives. The dialogue explores how Amazon’s acquisition of the James Bond franchise could turn it into a Marvel-style universe, with numerous spin-offs that might detract from Bond’s central mystique. The video also discusses the perilous future of the superhero genre, predicting a shift towards video game adaptations as Hollywood looks for new lucrative opportunities. Critical Drinker and Chris Williamson critique the industry’s focus on politically charged content, the so-called “message”, arguing that it no longer sells well and is out of touch with the audience’s desires for straightforward, entertaining narratives. They speculate about a possible swing back towards more neutral, entertainment-focused filmmaking. Furthermore, the video reflects on how the allure of celebrity has changed in the age of social media, diminishing the mystique that once surrounded movie stars. This shift is mirrored in how movies and entertainment are marketed and consumed, with an increasingly fragmented media landscape creating challenges for traditional cinema. Critical Drinker suggests that while the potential for a resurgence in franchise popularity exists, it requires revamping strategies, emphasizing a return to core storytelling values, and allowing audiences to “miss” well-loved series for a while. There’s also a discussion about how cultural phenomena and audience tastes have evolved, influencing the types of films that succeed both critically and commercially.

“A Path of Incompetence” – Pilot Speaks Out on Alarming New Airline Standards
The video features a discussion on the evolving standards in the airline industry, emphasizing concerns over competency and hiring practices influenced by Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) criteria. It highlights a controversial push by some airline CEOs to prioritize diversity in hiring, such as mandating that 50% of new pilots be women or people of color. The speaker, a female commercial pilot, argues that hiring based on attributes unrelated to flying can lead to incompetence and undermine confidence in airline safety. She notes the importance of experience and skill in piloting, explaining challenges like engine failures during takeoff as critical scenarios requiring seasoned pilots’ expertise. Furthermore, she critiques the impact of training focused more on diversity and inclusion rather than technical skills, suggesting it detracts from essential flying competencies. The speaker also touches on the generational shift in the industry, where new pilots lack the hands-on experience of older models and are more reliant on automated systems, potentially compromising safety.

When it rains, it pours.
Just did a quick count. Since Nov 1 being the official start of the Wet/Cyclone seasons we in the ‘ville have had somewhere near 2400mm. Our annual av is around 1100mm.
That pic reminds me of the warning I got when working on the Carmichael Lease near Labona outstation from the station manager at Moray Downs towards the end of November. If you see the staff from Doongmabala (Next station across) driving out in convoy leave or you will be stuck for a minimum of 6 weeks. We were 80km inland from the Gregory Developmental rd. This was passed on in our nightly report sent by dial up internet…
The year Yasi hit, we got flooded into Moranbah multiple times couldn’t even get to CQO at Peak Downs for a day at times. Some of our boys had to be airlifted off a tenement near Rolleston.
When it gets wet in Queensland it gets wet!
Was that the terrible floods which drowned so many cattle on some big stations? Was just awful.
You are thinking the 2019 monsoon flooding in the gulf catchments? 550,000 head dead.
those areas will only see bog standard flooding with gulf towns cut off for five or six weeks.
this event it is the Lake Eyre basin catchments getting the unusually big rains. And more unusually, all of them. The desert will bloom this winter.
Probably Vicki, the bigger holdings are lucky as the paddocks are huge (Square miles) and the cattle usually move to higher ground of their own volition.
My conversations with cattle farmers I have been told the northern breeds especially with the Brahman mixes don’t cope well with extended rain. Believe it or not they get cold. Cattle farmers are generally more worried about that.
That said I know the very basics about cattle. Where I came of age in Victoria was sheep and cropping country.
We got the tail end of Yasi here in the WA goldfields. 180 mms for feb which nearly reached our annual average of 220. Roads closed for several weeks, although it drains away much quicker than the channel country of Western Qld.
Funny I rode out Yasi in Townsville. High end Cat 2/Low end Cat 3 winds (Trav or Nitso from OCC had a pic I can’t find anywhere anymore at an old analogue pen style aerometer at airport gusts peaking at something like 88kn) but the rain wasn’t that bad from my experience. Storm surge was awesome though, Saunders creek near where I live had water flowing upstream at 8am next morning. I had to lean into the wind to walk to see it.
Few of the boys I worked with down in the coalfields were pulled out of the MAC Camp Moranbah and evacuated to the gymnasium/sports centre. Their experience was more the rain than wind. I was allowed extra time off at home (Needed as power was off) as all the tenements in the coalfields were so saturated drilling was suspended for weeks.
I watched its progression across the centre & into WA. Descriptions I saw of it was it was an Atlantic style monster system we fortunately don’t see much in these neck of the woods and even luckier it didn’t hit Townsville or Cairns direct on.
That’s because of all the mine shafts…..

I was reading my travel notes from a solo trip I did to Israel in the 1980s. I found that I had mused that the West was about to face a protracted opposition from the Islamic world. This was hardly an earth shattering observation, since I recall that I was there at the beginning of the 1st Intifida.
What I did find interesting is that I also mused that the contemporary hostility towards the USSR (I think the dissolution of Russia’s control was beginning) would fade. I noted that the then head of Italy had observed that, “after all, Russia is really part of Europe”. I can’t recall, who that Italian President was, but I suspect his prediction all those years ago will prove correct.
Funny, reading this today. Particularly as Christianity is being rebirthed in Russian society.

Lockdown: a catastrophic mistake | How the elites unleashed a new form of tyranny
Former Indigenous affairs minister Linda Burney has said Peter Dutton walking away from “decades of bipartisanship on Aboriginal affairs” is “unforgivable”.
“When I reflect on the referendum itself, of course there is sadness,” she told the ABC.
“The outcome for many people both, Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal was devastating and that devastation is still felt.”
Ms Burney said the issue of recognition will not go away following the ‘no’ vote, saying “Aboriginal people will not walk away” from treaty and truth.
“The issues of constitutional recognition will not go away, and they didn’t start in 2017 with the Uluru statements. They started decades ago and they will go on for decades,
“One of the things I’ll be designing in the future is a community led truth telling process, where communities don’t need governments, they don’t need legislation, they can do it themselves,
“I think government does need to be involved, but it is not the be all and end all of truth telling.”
So look who the Albo Flying Circus has dragged out, now!
I’ve got some truth telling. Linda Burney is a scum sucking grifter wih no redeeming features. That’s the truth.
Linda Burney truth telling? After repeating all the old malarkey about how Aborigines weren’t citizens, and weren’t counted in the census before 1967, IN PARLIAMENT,FFS, Linda Burney wouldn’t know the truth if it bit her on the arze.
Ghastly image: biting that fetid arse.
Can we have a cage match between Linda and Jacinta please?
I know who would win.
A cage match between Jacinta and Marcia?
Er…yeah…righto, Linda. You do that.
Isn’t that effectively what’s happening now in remote communities?
It’s happening in QLD after the LNP belatedly pulled the rug out from the Palaszczuk plan. Nobody’s paying much attention but most are happy government funding isn’t involved in an endeavour that is intended to divide and promote rancour.
Perfect answer to any number of 3rd tribes issues, Linda, I completely agree. Sort out problems in your settlements without legislation, without Government involvement – and without taxpayer dollars.
A huge win for us all.
We had “decades of bipartisanship” with regard to Israel.
Labor torched that.
An Aboriginal activist talking about “truth telling”?
Don’t make me laugh.
Don’t think Abalone would appreciate a Voice rehash at this point.
So.
Anything important happen today?
Nup. I’m just catching up – it’s Sat’dy nite here now.
How about a Constitutional Amendment?
“The Australian Government may not discriminate on the basis of race.”
…whether negatively (denying goods, services, grants, welfare, job positions, etc) on the basis of race or positively (granting the same on the basis of race).
Thus opening up immigration to anyone from anywhere.
Not at all.
Skills and the ability and willingness to assimilate are not dependent on race or ethnicity.
I’d argue that religion is much more germane.

Why White Women Are WOKE & The Awkward TRUTH about Ethno-Nationalism | Eric Kaufmann
In the video, Eric Kaufmann discusses the persistence and evolution of “woke” culture, emphasizing that it hasn’t died despite claims of its decline post-Trump. He defines “woke” as the sanctification of historically marginalized groups and the resulting cancel culture that emerges when these groups feel their emotional safety is threatened. Kaufmann highlights that certain demographic groups, notably young people and white college-educated women, are more inclined towards woke attitudes. He predicts that as these demographics become more politically dominant, cultural shifts towards social justice will occur, which will challenge classical liberal values. Kaufmann touches on ethnic diversity and its implications for societal cohesion, suggesting that increased diversity can lead to division along ethnic lines and hinder economic and social development. He argues that immigration needs to be controlled to allow time for assimilation, which he believes is crucial for maintaining social cohesion over generations. There’s a discussion on national identity and who is considered “English” or “British,” highlighting the complexity and sensitivity surrounding ethnicity, culture, and national belonging. The discussion also delves into the impact of migration and ethnic change on political polarization and the rise of populism, positing that these phenomena emerge partly as responses to woke culture and restrictions on free speech. Kaufmann predicts that woke dynamics will endure and evolve as demographic changes continue and populate the political sphere differently. Overall, Kaufmann stresses that time, assimilation, and reduced immigration are key to achieving social cohesion, while acknowledging the persistent and contentious nature of woke culture and identity politics.

From News.com: 14 articles in their top section, 1 on the election, 6 articles about crap like sports players or Kayne Wests ex moll, Avalon air show crash, an article spruiking sex toys (Yeah think team Albo already has that in mind for the electorate), some missing cop, another TDS instalment, Burma Earthquake, some crap about Princess Kate and some chick coomplaining because hey I’m posing in an open window and dudes are leering (Dunno, isn’t that used to be known as voyeurism?).
The National section below has not one election article.
Daily mail Oz worse, burried a third of the way down the page a section of half a dozen articles.
I can find more election information on Fairfax and the ABC that is far more biased then Murdochs papers.
Can’t see Dutton winning unless he starts getting on to the pages and that might mean going after some sacred cows and rattling cages unfortunately. He’s got nothing to lose…
Looks like BOM have got one right Cyclone Dianne is crossing in the Kimberley as we speak.
Cat 1 but wind speeds and MSLP actually meet thresholds for this one.
Here’s a test for those existing in what remains of the West:
Do we let them get away with it again?
Because as soon as the sun will rise in the morning, they will try it on again.
Time for a RANT!
It is utter BOLLOCKS and self-harming delusion that because the LNP are the ‘lesser of two evils’ we MUST choose them.
If your spouse cheats on you, do you say ‘Well, I can see what kind of an offer he/she made, so I can’t blame you really.’
If two of your children or grandchildren shoplift, do you punish only the one who stole the most expensive item?
If a group of people with money and influence brand you a Granny-killer, destroy your business, and isolate you physically, socially, and financially, and then afterwards act as if nothing had ever happened, do you forgive them and say ‘That was then, this is now. You know?’
YOU DON’T MATTER.
You will NEVER matter if you keep on complimenting the person who just broke your nose on the softness of their knuckles.
I get the concern about not waiting for a better option to magically appear, but while the LNP continues to loiter on the (nominally) right side of the playground, no other kid is going to risk being slapped around by the experienced, connected, bullies.
Clearing the right side of the political playground with a bulldozer is not going to happen overnight, but unless someone finds the keys to the dozer, we’re stuck with the same toxic, feral mob who would sell our organs for two bob if they thought they could get away with it.
Fer feck’s sake people, you’re a smart bunch – Do you enjoy the rush of blood that comes with a fist to the face? Smash these gutless, arrogant bastards in the throat and deprive them of oxygen; DON’T vote for them.
DON’T vote for small ‘e’ evil, because there are no levels of evil, no graduations. Evil is just evil.
Change only takes place as the result of force being applied. We CAN demand this change, but the only way that will happen is if the LNP no longer lurks like a child predator on our side of the political playground. Clear the filth away and others will be attracted to the opportunity.
What a bunch of bullshit. High and mighty, rarefied gobsmuckle.
What are you going to do nit wit: draw a duck’s face on your ballot. Vote for any of the minors with no preferences so your vote dies, or preference so your vote ends up with one of the majors.
This snotty, both parties are beneath me attitude only harms the conservative side. The left are tribalised and toe the company line. Rugged head up arse individualism like this nonsense destroys the conservative side of politics where the it’s my way or the highway and my pure views must prevail undermine defeating the left. In fact I reckon you are a leftoid: no one but a leftoid could sprout such spittling pseudo passionate crap.
It also completely misreads and misunderstands the punters who run a mile from fanatical sprout like this. The left camouflage their fanaticism behind soft lies but mind dead saints like you insist on shoving your honest brutal take on reality in their faces with the result they will avoid you like the plague you are.

In memory of my late father, who maintained that “Hanrahan” was the patron saint of farmers, in the marginal areas of the Western Australian wheatbelt.
Finally went over to the dark side after long resistance. I bought a carton of cigarettes from a crime cartel shop.
I held off for a long time because the product was awful (think old rope left in a drain for a few weeks) plus residual brand loyalty. But, things have changed in the last couple of years.
My last carton of legal cigarettes cost $480 odd dollars for 180. My carton of 200 knock-offs cost $100. They are properly packaged and quite acceptable substitutes. The quality of the product has skyrocketed.
I see that tobacco excise revenue is plummetting.
Have they learned nothing from Prohibition?
Plus, in an era where small businesses are closing all over the place, many a landlord will leap at a six month lease for a storefront, especially if it is paid in cash.
My retailer only accepts cash, BTW.
For the Uniparty, virtue signalling is much more important than preventing the activities of crime syndicates.
The law of unintended consequences
Are they branded?
government is a crime syndicate
and they hate competition
Long live the Manchesters.
It’s also because their suppliers demand cash for stock.
The gubment is the dark side. Welcome to the right side.
I’d guess that near half of the 130 people where I work smoke/vape.
None smoke gubment cigarettes.
Former Indodgeyknee affairs minister Linda “braindead” Burney has said that Dr Mutton blundering away from “decades of bipartisanship stupidity on Indodgeyknee affairs” is “unforgivable”.
“When I reflect on the racist referendum itself, of course there is sadness,” she told the ALPBC.
“All that taxpayers’ money wasted on a load of inexcusable racist bollocks”
But of course, she didn’t say that, because she’s severely brain damaged.

Thai/Burma earthquake. Bangkok about 300 missing atm. That building that collapsed mostly Cambodian & Burmese labour. Lots of deaths.
Mates mrs village on Cambodia, earth tremors didn’t reach there.

LOL. Joh, you have helped contribute to a $7 billion “hole” in Dim Chambers’ fourth (and hopefully last) feral fudge-it.
Magnificent work. Enjoy those darts. 🙂
just bought five packets of some brand called Impala at a bush lolly shop. $75 dollars — and may Charmers perform an anatomically improbable act uppon his own gaping rectum
Apparently one brand supports free markets, albeit in Dubai, not just organised crime.
Snic totally vindicated on excise. Well done that man.

Oh, and I will be scrolling past election speculation, just as I will not be watching it on TV. Cats who reseemble old Italiams and Griks arguing in coffee shops are welcome to it.
Turned on ABCTV for Antiques Roadshow this morning and found it was infested with luvvies who know they can get their faces on the box for the next few weeks.
As Dame Edna would say. there is nothing like an election to moisten their bits.
Ugh.

Yes probably what would happen here, just as in Canada, is that you’d be debanked by the so called Liberal party.
That comment was supposed to be inspirational.
