Which-way Albo now says he’s willing to consider gas. That was quick. Note the weasel words willing to consider. Go for the jugular Mr Dutton. He is operating on the hop! Has Mr Bandt approved of this switch? Has he costed it? Is he going to do gas as well as all the rewiring? https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-03-30/albanese-gas-reservation-policy-will-direct-if-needed/105113746
Easy said.
Eastern Australia is currently heavily dependent on Queensland GSG and on other unconventional gas supply in the future. (Policy wonks can scroll down to fig 2.1 for a useful graphic.)
Plenty of notional gas reserves and resources in the ground, but the reality of CSG is that it needs constant investment in capex and opex – and favourable geological conditions – to actually produce significant gas flow at the margin. It’s not like a gas tank that can be drawn down at will by opening the valve a bit wider.
The technical and infrastructure issues in matching reserves and deliverability to ‘gas reservation’ policies and emergency market demand at any significant scale defy the command powers of Canbra.
With exquisite timing, the ATO has sent out Provisional Tax reminders for payment by 28 April, five days before AnAl faces the taxpayers.

Anthony Albanese will have to overcome a historical trend to hold on to majority government at this election, with Labor having effectively lost every campaign contest over the past 20 years at a federal level.
Analysis of Newspoll results dating back to the 2004 election show that Labor has lost ground over the course of the campaign at every one of the past seven elections.
The Prime Minister on Friday claimed that he was confident that he could lead Labor to a majority government victory on May 3.
The statistics challenge the notion that the Labor campaign machine is a superior outfit to that of the Liberals and Nationals, with Newspoll trends showing Labor went backwards from the last poll before the campaign to the election result.
If the average of each of these backward trends during the campaign is applied to this election, Labor would stand to potentially lose up to two percentage points on a two-party-preferred basis.
The Coalition currently leads Labor 51-49 on a two-party-preferred basis, suggesting Labor would have to better the Coalition in the campaign to win.
At every election since Newspoll began doing 2PP calculations across a whole parliamentary term, Labor’s primary vote and 2PP votes have fallen across the course of the campaign.
Remarkably, Labor entered six of the seven campaigns ahead on 2PP but won only three of those elections, surrendering leads in 2004, 2016 and 2019.
Even in Kevin Rudd’s landslide victory in 2007, Labor had a primary vote slump during the campaign, with its election result of 43.3 per cent being 4.7 percentage points lower than it was in the Newspoll before John Howard called the election (48 per cent).
The Coalition, by contrast, improved its primary vote across six of the past seven campaigns, by as much as 5.6 percentage points when Julia Gillard’s Labor was reduced to minority government. But its primary vote went backwards at the 2022 poll, narrowly dropping from 36 per cent before the campaign to 35.7 per cent on election day.
Labor went into the last election with a higher primary vote (37 per cent) than the Coalition’s but finished well below on just 32.5 per cent.
In the 2004 election contest between John Howard and Labor leader Mark Latham, the final poll before the campaign begun had Labor on 40 per cent primary vote. It ended up with a primary vote of 37.6 per cent. On 2PP, the penultimate pre-campaign poll had Labor at 52 per cent. The election result was 47.2 per cent – a net loss of over the course of the campaign of 4.8 per cent.
In 2007, Labor went backwards by 3.3 percentage points on 2PP during the campaign, despite still pulling off a landslide victory.
The 2010 election campaign saw Labor lose 4.9 percentage points during the campaign, which forced Julia Gillard into minority government.
In 2013 and 2016, the campaign loss was about 1.5 percentage points. And in 2019, Labor also surrendered a 2PP lead at the start of the campaign to end up 3.5 percentage points down over the campaign, resulting in a surprise defeat.
Not sure about the formatting?
The authors (Benson and Tanner) don’t appear to have considered the “Shy Tory” as a possible (partial?) explanation for the difference between the Opinion Poll vs the actual election results.
That said, the difference is interesting.
yes interesting- thanks for posting
The Albanese regime is the first federal Labor government dominated by the socialist left faction.
The unions who pay the parliamentary party’s bills also no longer need members, thanks to superannuation.
Therefore, the federal government and cabinet are dominated by political revolutionaries, whose mission is to “subvert the dominant paradigm”.
Their primary mission during federal election campaigns is to trick the electorate into voting for their revolutionary aims — which explains Newspoll’s finding that that Labor usually loses votes in the actual campaign.
Albo and co are now trying to trick the electorate into giving them another shot at plundering the treasury with the SFLs already leading 51-49% 2PP.
The only complication is the Teals, which were invented to damage the SFL primary vote in 2022. I think people in the suburbs have worked out the Teals, who are just Greens in more expensive frocks.
I think people in the suburbs have worked out the Teals

We’ll see
Imagine how well the Libs would do if they had guts and stood for something.
Yes Peta, but towards what? Looking at the polls and considering the idiocy and mental retardation that obviously exists in much of Australia who vote left, I’m convinced we’ll have to experience a national near death experience (or even significant economic and social collapse – think Argentina) before enough voters truly turn away from Marxism, which is what many have actually if unknowingly embraced. For decades. Sadly, another Albo term in coalition with the Greens would actually speed up that kind of episode.
There are many millions of ignorant (and defiantly dumb) Aussies who have nary a clue what they are voting for or even thinking about beyond a $150 handout in compensation for a fkd power grid, as an example. And the SFL’s are silent on Labor’s true intentions for us ie a Marxist Utopia (with the shielded elites safely in their glass, chrome and harbourside ivory towers). And we know the absolute very best the SFL’s can do is kick the can along, because that’s all they intend to do- not CHANGE our path to the Balkanised multicultural sludge we are headed for . That would take conviction, courage and a vision. A vision for a Christian dominated nation of Anglo heritage not fkg scared to defend it’s social standards and quality of life.
The majority of Australians want a reliable benefactor in Govt. As long as the dosh keeps appearing then it’s all good, and they will accept any kind of shit sandwich to keep it going, no matter what they claim to be outraged about.
I can only applaud your summary.

No one honestly, even cops or council gave an s.
Five? Word I heard that the cops were watching these Darwin Award recipients on and off during the day. A second stolen car too .
So long as no other motorists are killed. There was a similar incident that closed City Road in Melbournibad when I was there. Car hit a building about 10 feet up coming out the tunnel. No hitting “Play again” after that.
Car v tree often fatal. Ask Brocky.
Apparently, if the cops are pursuing alleged future engineers and doctors who have stolen a car, said engineers and doctors ring the police and tell them to call off the chase or they will start running into pedestrians and motorcyclists.
Nice. Cop car mounted Javelin missiles would be handy. And punishments for their families who are probably quite happy for them to hold their crime sprees against the evil white man.

‘Real factors’ need to be tackled: Coles hits back at Labor’s price gouging pledge
Noah Yim
Supermarket giant Coles has pushed back against Labor’s pledge to create a taskforce into grocery price gouging if re-elected.
“Despite a 12-month inquiry into supermarkets, neither the government or the ACCC found evidence of price gouging,” a spokesperson said.
“What’s needed are measures that tackle the real factors driving higher grocery prices, which are rising costs such as energy, fuel, labour, insurance, production, freight and distribution.”
All brought on by a shiite luigi abalone marxist government.
Abalone from the Guv’ment here to help you re-erect him.
Now that’s the sort of political intervention that a grocery chain should be making.
Given that Coles has said its piece I’d imagine Woollies will also want to disassociate themselves publicly from the unjustified smear of price gouging as well. The Labor Party is clueless when it comes to understanding the retail and wholesale industries. They’ve poked the bear and will regret it.
Nah, the low info will side with the politicians. They see the fleecing at the checkout more easily than the tax already taken out of their pay check.
Albo’s crew won’t have been expecting that.

US Institute of Peace lays off staff after dramatic standoff with DOGE
Any person or organisation with “Peace” or “Human Rights” in its title is by definition a leftist front or has been taken over by grifters of various kinds. They should all be shunned and suffer the Rabz treatment. .
Examples:
Sydney Peace prize (their website is particularly nauseating)
Nobel Peace prize (which is not awarded by the same people who award the real Nobel prizes for science, literature etc)
Australian Human Rights Commission
All Australian state Human Rights commissions (especially in Victoriastan)
UN Human Rights Council
…
The list goes on.
A pox on all of them!!
A particularly nasty pox, with painful consequences.
…and disfiguring lesions, treated by the public application of a soothing mercury balm.
Messaging is all over the place.
Several carmakers are shifting their production to the US to avoid the tariffs. Tens of thousands of jobs and tens of billions of investment. That is what it’s about, and it’s working.
A reduction in income taxes is yet to hit. That messaging won’t be missed.
The debt accumulation is really worrying, and deficits for the next two years are still around $1.8 trillion—near enough to 6% of GDP. The latest I’ve read is that they are toying with Main Street tax cuts, paid for by hitting wealthy income earners. The estimate for taking the corporate tax rate down to 15%, which he alluded to before and during the campaign, would be around $600 billion.
They need to hit social security. Raise the age limit, raise the FICA tax or both.
The administration is in a real pickle. If there is a recession this year, say good-bye to the deficit projection because that’s going to skyrocket.
DOGE will do well if they can cut 500 billion from recurring. The defense review is the one to watch.
It seems to me they are going for broke.
On the expenses side ;The spending reductions from massive cutbacks in the obscene waste and corrupt spending (SS, Ukraine, useless USG minions, whole Depts gonski etc). The Demand side; the expected massive investments from on-shoring from the tariffs, the tariff income, lower energy costs AND unleashing the massive consumer spending from reduced taxes. Targeted spending on Defence and infrastructure. Combined, this is transformative if he can pull it off. The world will be fighting to get in on that kind of burgeoning market.
Trump plans to grow the US out of it’s Debt hole. In 4 years, or at least show it’s entirely possible.
Keeping inflation and the Fed under wraps will be his biggest challenge I suspect.
The thing I don’t get is that pre-covid up to 2019, the deficit was high, but at least it was manageable. Trump left deficit for the years:
2017: $665 billion
2018: $779 billion
2019: $984 billion
Worrying, but not out of the ballpark concerning. And then, it obviously exploded after COVID, but it hasn’t gone back down to where is was pre COVID even though the economy is near full employment and growth has been respectable.
Why are deficits at near $2 trillion now?
Grok:
The 10 year bond yield in the Middle of 2019 was just over 2% vs 4.3%, so interest costs have spiraled. But where has the other spending come from to keep the deficit at $1.8 trillion?
USAID?
It’s much less, but even call it $100 billion?
Inflation Reduction Act and other green scams.
Believe it or not, all this is what any halfway efficient accountant or auditor would insist upon when running a family bakery.

Instead, he ran over like a little girl and teamed up with paper tigers France and the UK and now the 3 stooges have destroyed any chance at peace.

Indolent, I am pissed off by gabby nongs who love the sound of their own voices telling me me what Joe Rogan or J D Vance are saying or said. If someone tells me how Rogan destroyed some idiot academic, I want to see and hear him doing it, not listen to the gabby nong telling me how Rogan is going to. After the gabby nong tells me how he wants me to like and subscribe. I have come to loathe gabby nongs. There seem to be a lot of them, and you link to a distressingly large number of them.
Catturd2 is different. He is terse and intelligent.
The local ABC TV variant: listen to Anal or other Prominence for 20 minutes, then have to suffer while ABC drone helpfully tries to recap. Do they think we missed what was said the first time around? Albo’s whine too nuanced, so subtle that we need Joe O’Brien’s help?
Catturd has his blind spots & his achilles heel of utter stupidity. We don’t often see it, that’s all.
All in all, he’s pretty good for pithy observations, one-line summations & awkward questions.
I don’t care for the gabby nongs myself but sometimes they’re hard to avoid. I guess you could find the full Joe Rogan interview with the lunatic “professor” but if it’s about the usual length of about 3 hours you might end up a gibbering wreck yourself by the end of it.
Yes. It’s the Nowhere Man inserting himself into a piece of news, not contributing anything except his own self love that really annoys me, and the internet is full of it.
The dross is rapidly overtaking the gems.
post AI summary so we don’t have to give youtube any income. (AI wrote my summary tool)
Wow just spent 30min on phone to Commbank.
Somehow my CC number has been compromised. They used a laundromat in California to with a zero transaction to confirm then 2 quickfire purchases with Bestbuy in Richlands Minnesota, one got squashed the other now in dispute as it didn’t get flagged till too late. I have never even heard of Bestbuy, till now.
Mystery how that got compromised, I don’t have a digital wallet, I only purchase from reputable sites online and am generally old school with everything banking i.e. Branch or EFT purchases.
In my favour spotted in under 30min & everything jumped on within half an hour.
Banks are pr$#@s but they were very quick to let me know about this one.
For the US Cats, there a US authority I could lodge a report to. Like our scam watch.
Similar happened to me. I’m thinking mine may have come from an internal system compromise. I hadn’t used the card for six months. The payment went to a disability aid supplier in US. It was also fixed pronto and money back without questions. Also Com Bank,
Did a check of have I been pwned.
One breach back in 2017 from a spambot. Email address and password apparently which wouldn’t have got them much. My email account is full of crap. Probably why no-one bothered with further follow ups.
Mentions Bay City Media which I find odd, another Yank organisation I’ve never had anything to do with.
We were scammed in the US when we were in Monument Valley and out of phone contact in the motel, but the internet worked and we contacted CommBank who were great about some thousand dollar purchases made in Chicago that day. Hairy actually asked me if I had been buying up big on the internet in Chicago when he discovered the amounts. Nope, not me, I said. Comm Bank determined immediately they were a scam and we were later recompensated the money. Very good service at that difficult time. So we have stuck with them. We think the card was ‘skimmed’ at a 7/11 or similar place.

Mother of 1 yr old girl who died <12 hrs after 6 vaccine shots has a message: “These vaccine shots are dangerous”
Coincidence.
The exact same number of children experience brain swelling and death 12 hours before their scheduled vaccines than 12 hours afterwards.
Honest. That’s what the data says.
Or at least it would if it was collected but we can’t collect the data because that would be, ummm, “unethical”.
So just trust me bro.
Steve Kirsch did a similar comparison of ‘regressed suddenly from normal kid into impenetable autism’ in the few days before a scheduled vax appiontment vs after.
Any guess what the ratio was?
hint ….. its ‘stars in the universe’ unlikely to be caused by chance
Peter Doherty once related a similar story. Except, when the autopsy was done, the child was found to have died from a completely unrelated problem.
No immune system on the planet is going to be able to cope with 6 life threatening illnesses.
Children get measles, chicken pops, whooping cough and the flu in sequence with months in between.
They do not get them all in one hour and their bodies cannot cope with the assault.
Just ‘catching up’ with delayed vaccinations is bureaucratic and professional murder.
depending on the vax, 6 vaxxes could = 6 doses of aluminium adjuvant, and the vaxxes are all tested ,(such as it is) in isolation, NOT in combination
Maybe it was vaccines they burnt for fuel in the jet engines that melted the steel. Did you ever thing of that?
ffs
The immune system would be responding to different deterninants of unrelated antigens.If anyone got all those dtseases simultaneously they would be very sick but not necessarily because the immune system couldn’t cope.
Agree. It was Pfizer mRNA in two shots too close together that caused one of my older sons in his forties to develop an auto-immune sinovitis and hand swelling in both wrists and hands.
He was in great pain for many months due to this but no hospital would recognise its existence until I paid for an MRI, and even then they wouldn’t admit the vax causes it. I am sure it did though.
Hands up ..! How many knew this ..?
I did.
I remember reading about it not long after the film became a huge success.

Then he will be resigning from Parliament tomorrow?
Later in the year, probably September/October, from the backbench, once a suitable maates job is found. Something appropriately ‘second shelf’ as befitting a Labor squib – Vice Chancellor of Liverpool TAFE, or Ambassador to Luxembourg – maybe a seat on an industry super fund.
Industry Super delivers on so many levels. It has freed the unions from the need to have members at all. I hope they send Paul Keating something at Christmas.
I am a great fan of the Streetwise Professor blog. Today he is analysing the struggle of Trump to successfully implement his reforms. I haven’t linked but it is easy to find.
In sum, by asserting his view of the domain of his powers under Section II of the Constitution, Trump is in conflict with courts that believe that this encroaches on their domain under Section III. Under the Constitution there is no independent authority who can arbitrate between them, so the ultimate outcome will require one to surrender to the assertions of the other, or come to some mutually unsatisfactory compromise, and do so on the basis of calculations of power and politics, rather than Constitutional principles. This game is very complex for myriad reasons, so predicting its outcome is very difficult. Given the stakes and risks, both sides have incentives to avoid a decisive outcome, meaning that these fights may end with whimpers, rather than bangs.
See my post below.
Yet another good letter in the Oz, Vicki
Old mate came over this morning for coffee – a bit upset – his granddaughters fiancée was driving down from a job up north and has disappeared on the Friday night around the Roma area.
Police have put him on the Missing Persons list, and the fiancée and brother have gone down to see if they can help.
We’ve all assumed he’s been caught between bridges in the Amby area which doesn’t have much mobile coverage.
Old mate reckons he’ll be all right – Jaykob isn’t a dickhead trying to prove himself across flooded roads.
Jaykob was found just a few minutes ago – he’d gotten bogged on a side road, and with water coming up he had to abandon the car and walk to a farmhouse.
So, safe and sound, and getting the proverbial verbal flogging from the fiancée who can’t wait to get her hands on him to reinforce the message.

Joe Rogan interviewed vaccine opponent Suzanne Humphries.
There’s actually more consistent advocates such as Greg Beattie and Stefan Lanka but she has the qualifications that impress people.
Personally I wouldn’t bother reading her book. Instead if you want to know whether vaccines work just visit a doctor office. If you survive you’ll know that sick people germs are harmless and therefore germ theory is a lie and therefore vaccines are useless.
I know I posted this a couple of days ago, but I just watched it again and it is just as funny as it was then. Enjoy.

Good point about the activist judges. They operate at a state or district level and were never intended to have national consequence in their judgments. The GOP house is now moving to legislate that limitation on their powers which would mean they could not adjudicate on Trump’s EOs.

One of the outcomes of using accusations of supermarket ‘price gouging’ as a political tool is that it will lead to an increase of verbal aggression against the low-rankers on the supermarket floor.
Very few customers who express dissatisfaction in-store choose to speak with a manager when the opportunity is offered, or make a written complaint (online). Instead they sound off at an individual who has no authority to make any changes, who may be struggling financially (or in other areas) themselves, and whose responses are limited, lest the workplace ‘make the news.’
While most of these aggressive-customer incidents are graded as ‘low level,’ cumulatively they add extra, unnecessary tension to the existing performance metrics.
To our opponents though, individuals – silent, invisible, taxpaying you-don’t-matters – are to be used until empty and then discarded; collateral damage ‘for the cause.’
What the grubbermint is saying is that supermarket workers are the equivalent of Teslas now: a sanctioned, socially-acceptable opportunity to release whatever envy or self-loathing you possess.
The next time a customer barks at me: ‘Eggs!?’ I’ll be very tempted to respond (calmly, of course): ‘I’m keeping them warm for you. How many do you want?’
Longish read but good summary of the corruption against Trump.
CIA Director John Ratcliffe has confirmed what many patriots have known for years: The Obama administration ORDERED the FBI NOT to arrest Hillary Clinton for espionage, despite her clear violations of 18 U.S. Code § 793.
This is the ultimate proof that Barack Hussein Obama and Hillary Clinton conspired to subvert the rule of law, using their power to shield their criminal empire from exposure. They didn’t just bend the law — they crushed it under their boots to protect their stranglehold on America.
February 10, 2025—History will remember this day. The moment when the American people finally saw the truth laid bare. The criminal conspiracy that protected Hillary Clinton, manipulated justice, and waged war against Donald Trump has now been fully exposed.
For years, patriots demanded answers. Why did the FBI refuse to prosecute Clinton for her blatant violations of 18 U.S. Code § 793? Why was justice obstructed at the highest levels? The answer has now been confirmed by none other than former CIA Director John Ratcliffe—Barack Obama himself ordered the FBI NOT to arrest Hillary Clinton for espionage.
THE ORDER CAME FROM OBAMA HIMSELF
The conspiracy went straight to the top. Lisa Page, former FBI lawyer, admitted under oath that the Department of Justice explicitly instructed the FBI to stand down.
JOHN RATCLIFFE: “So, just to be clear, when you say you got instructions from the DOJ, they told you outright: ‘We are NOT prosecuting Hillary Clinton for gross negligence’?”
LISA PAGE: “That is correct.”
This was not an accident. This was a deliberate cover-up, orchestrated at the highest levels. Clinton was meant to secure the presidency in 2016, ensuring the Deep State’s grip on America remained unchallenged. But when Trump won, their house of cards collapsed—sending them into full panic mode.
THE CLASSIFIED EMAILS: OBAMA’S REAL MOTIVE
Why did Obama go to such lengths to protect Clinton? Because her private email server contained secrets so explosive they could have destroyed the Deep State.
* Emails confirming pay-for-play schemes with foreign governments.
* Direct collusion between the Obama administration and foreign intelligence agencies to manipulate U.S. politics.
* Evidence of classified leaks to foreign actors in exchange for political favors.
Had Clinton been prosecuted, the case wouldn’t have stopped with her—it would have led straight to Obama himself.
THE FBI: OBAMA’S PERSONAL ENFORCERS
The FBI, once a respected law enforcement agency, was weaponized under Obama to serve the Democratic Party. While Clinton was shielded from justice, the Bureau focused its efforts on manufacturing crimes against Trump.
• They launched the Russia collusion hoax, fabricating evidence to cripple Trump’s presidency.
• They illegally spied on his campaign using FISA warrants based on false information.
• They persecuted Trump allies to silence dissent.
The same criminals who protected Clinton tried to destroy Trump, using the FBI as their personal attack dogs.
THE DEEP STATE’S FINAL GAMBIT: THE WAR AGAINST TRUMP
Clinton’s exoneration was only the beginning. The moment Trump stepped onto the political stage, the Deep State launched a full-scale assault.
• They engineered the 2020 election to ensure he was removed from office.
• They used the intelligence agencies to spy on his campaign and presidency.
• They filed multiple indictments in a desperate attempt to block his 2024 run.
Yet, they failed. Trump is back, and now, the truth is finally coming to light.
THE MEDIA’S COMPLICITY
The mainstream media played its role perfectly. Instead of reporting the truth, they became the Deep State’s propaganda arm.
• They dismissed Clinton’s email scandal as a “nothingburger.”
• They refused to cover leaked documents proving Obama’s direct orders to protect her.
• They pushed every fabricated charge against Trump while burying the real crimes of the Democratic elite.
These are not journalists. These are political operatives, masquerading as the press.
THE TIME FOR JUSTICE IS NOW
The evidence is undeniable. The Obama administration, the DOJ, the FBI, and the media conspired to protect Hillary Clinton, silence Trump, and manipulate the justice system to serve their agenda. This cannot be allowed to stand.
• Obama must be investigated for obstruction of justice.
• Clinton must finally face prosecution for espionage.
• The FBI must be purged of political corruption.
• The DOJ must be rebuilt from the ground up.
The only question left: Will justice finally be served?

In his video, Gad Saad critiques a 2016 essay by Ida Auken, a Danish Member of Parliament, published by the World Economic Forum. The essay envisions a future in 2030 where personal ownership is obsolete, replaced by communal access to goods and services, leading to a lack of privacy. Saad uses sarcasm to underscore the potential problems with such a collectivist vision, drawing parallels to Orwellian themes and criticizing the erosion of personal property and privacy. He warns against the dangers of centralized control and the unrealistic idealism in seeking absolute equality and empathy. Saad highlights concerns about safety, individual freedom, and the loss of personal dignity in such a scenario, ultimately dismissing the vision as detached from reality and human nature.
“absolute equality” seems only to be for the proles. Our so-called “leaders” see themselves as being above the teeming masses, and so deserving of a much better lifestyle.
None of that “lead by example” stuff for them!

For a while I’ve been predicting that product placement would make its way into AI answers as a revenue stream for the “free” AI providers. Solution biases for sale to the highest bidders in any category. This would completely destroy the rationale for using an AI, but I’m so cynical that I don’t think that would stop the companies from trying it.
Jeez, it’s going to get really really complicated.
Tariffs on imported cars is going to get really complicated. Tariffs wont just be raised on fully imported cars, but also components that go into cars assembled in US.
Trump has also said he will offer a tax deduction on car loans, but this will only apply to cars deemed to me domestically manufactured. The government will provide an approved list.
The coming week the administration will present their policy on reciprocal tariffs, which is going to be a nightmare.
This sounds extremely unwieldy.

In this video, Captain Sherry Walker discusses the decline in safety and service standards within the U.S. aviation industry, attributing it partly to the influence of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) policies that prioritize corporate scores over customer service and merit. She argues that hiring practices focusing on diversity over competence have led to concerns about pilot skill levels and decision-making under pressure. Walker, an experienced pilot, recounts her resistance, along with others, to vaccine mandates imposed by her airline, which led to punitive actions against them. She highlights the broader implications of these mandates, suggesting they disproportionately affected religious people and compromised their careers. Additionally, she raises concerns over safety due to potential side effects of vaccines on pilots and criticizes her union’s lack of support. Walker also touches on the future of aviation technology, including the potential for autonomous flight, which she views skeptically. Overall, the discussion underscores Walker’s worries about compromised safety standards and the potential consequences unless addressed.
What’s with the flickering, flashing dots overlaid on the video? Is it supposed to make the viewing more pleasurable? Or is just another fad that some brainless halfwit of a producer has decided to inflict on us/ like refusing to capitalise first letters in a sentence?

The video from The Jolly Heretic discusses the Netflix series “Adolescence,” arguing that it serves as anti-white male propaganda. The host suggests the series portrays white English boys as violent, incompetent, and unnecessary, while valorizing non-white characters, especially black and South Asian men, as more desirable and capable. This is linked to what the host calls “woke Eugenics,” theorizing a form of societal selection where only the most resilient white males, resistant to the series’ demoralizing narrative, will thrive. The host compares this to the adaptation processes of old English public schools, which prepared boys for life’s harshness and societal roles. The current societal roadmap, in contrast, is viewed as maladaptive, discouraging traditional masculinity and potentially removing certain individuals from the gene pool due to maladaptation. The series is criticized for promoting an unrealistic narrative by race-swapping real-world issues like knife crime. The host posits the series is part of a broader cultural shift aiming to destabilize traditional white male roles, arguably contributing to evolutionary change favoring more conservative and resilient personalities.

An alternate view from Brendan O’Neill in the OZ
“The truth about Adolescence? It’s a beat up on the white working class
Let me put this plainly: it is unheard of for a working-class boy from a stable family to commit a horrific knife crime because he saw stupid stuff on the internet. The reality of who is committing youth knife crime in Britain is far more discomforting.A new social contagion has taken hold in Britain. It’s spreading like a pox via the internet. It’s worming its way into people’s minds and making them think daft and even dangerous things.
No, I’m not talking about Andrew Tate and the other lowlifes of the “manosphere”. I’m talking about the insane fawning over Adolescence, the Netflix drama about a 13-year-old boy who kills a female classmate after being brainwashed by Tate and other braggarts on the internet.
Honestly, it’s like a new religion. Critics are genuflecting at the altar of Adolescence in the way we once might have bowed to the Holy Bible. They see it not only as a gripping drama about a dreadful crime but as a divine revelation about the struggles facing boys in the modern world.
It is “complete perfection”, says The Times. It could “save lives”, gushes The Guardian. It should be shown in schools, says British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, so that we may deliver troubled teens from the devilish lure of “toxic masculinity”. Why not be done with it and build a Church of Adolescence, where every boy aged 11 to 16 may come to have their original sin of blokeishness washed away? This chattering-class contagion, this cultish idolising of a TV drama, is starting to unnerve me even more than the crap spouted by Tate.
Adolescence is a four-part series that tells the story of Jamie, a teen in an unnamed English town. He seems sweet, if a little vexed, like all adolescent boys. But darkness dwells in him. He stabs to death a young girl and we soon discover why: he has been morally corrupted by the fiends of the manosphere.
It’s “that Andrew Tate shite”, says a cop on finding out that Jamie and his pals have been browsing the output of those digital misogynists.
The series is not without its merits. The first episode, where we discover what Jamie did, is a taut and heart-rending hour of TV. The acting is first-class. But is it, as The Guardian insists, an “urgent and vital” drama whose “killer combination” of “artistic virtuosity” and “gut-punch power” may help repair our broken societies “before even more people die”?
Erm, no. It’s a four-part TV series, not the Second Coming. In fact, where Adolescence may be good drama, as a reflection on the state of the nation it is worse than useless. It has foisted on to the world an utterly skewed view of 21st-century Britain and its boys.
Let me put this plainly: it is unheard of for a working-class boy from a stable family to commit a horrific knife crime because he saw stupid stuff on the internet.
That’s the story Adolescence tells. Jamie comes from a warm family and has a strong dad who loves him. Yet he suddenly finds himself in the grip of blind murderous fury because a girl posted a mick-taking emoji on his Instagram page (I’m not making this up).
This isn’t an “urgent and vital” truth the world must hear – it’s hogwash. It’s a scenario that exists entirely in the heads of Adolescence’s aloof producers and its delirious cheerleaders in the cultural elite.
The truth about knife crime in Britain, and the online subcultures that glorify it, is far more complicated. And far more discomfiting. The terrible reality is that Britain’s black boys from fatherless homes are the most likely to get swept up in knife violence.
A government study in 2022 found that black Londoners, despite making up only 13 per cent of the capital’s population, were responsible for 61 per cent of knife murders. They’re likelier to be the victims, too: 45 per cent of knife murder victims in London were black, mostly youths. The reasons for this are complex and tragic.
One of them is the absence of dads. Lord Tony Sewell, one of Britain’s great warriors for racial equality, says the fact 50 per cent of black children in Britain grow up without a father can lead black boys to “forge their identities through gang culture”. Often they’re influenced by drill music, a hyper-nihilistic form of rap that celebrates knives. It’s a subculture that makes Tate look like a gent in comparison.
Where’s the drama about that, Netflix? Those of us who care as deeply for Britain’s black kids as we do for its white kids would like to see some serious coverage of this social tragedy that causes far more death and destruction than “Tateism” does.
Or what about the subculture of Islamism? Hundreds of Britain’s Muslim men and boys were enticed into the murderous arms of Islamic State. There was a point in the 2010s when more British Muslims were fighting for jihadist militias overseas than were serving in Britain’s own armed forces. The violence these young men visited on women, Christians, Kurds and homosexuals in Syria and Iraq was truly hellish. Yet you want us to have sleepless nights over a fictional skinny kid called Jamie?
The image of Britain pushed by Adolescence is, in essence, misinformation. It is spectacularly unusual for a working-class boy from a decent, productive family to be sucked into extreme violence. That so many smug cultural influencers around the world are currently wringing their hands over a kid like Jamie is surreal.
It’s horrible, too. It is a grotesque libel of Britain’s working-class youths, the vast majority of whom are good kids who want to do right by their families and communities.
Of course, the reason the woke elites are so drawn to Adolescence is precisely because its tragic villain is a white kid from the working class. It’s always open season on that section of society. You risk being accused of Islamophobia or racism if you worry out loud about certain cultural tensions.
But fearing white kids? Stirring up a moral panic about that most dreaded of social groups: white working-class men? Knock yourselves out.
Adolescence feels like moral porn for the upper classes. It allows them to indulge their aristocratic dread of the gruff males of the lower orders. Who cares if it’s horrifically inaccurate so long as it gives the chattering class a cheap moral thrill?
This could all backfire badly. The reason some boys fall under the spell of creeps such as Tate is because they feel so demeaned by mainstream society. And now, thanks to Adolescence, all they’re seeing is headline after headline about their “toxic masculinity”, about what a lethal menace they are.
It’s a dark irony: a drama designed to raise awareness about boys going to dark places on the internet could end up encouraging more of them to do so.”
A government study in 2022 found that black Londoners, despite making up only 13 per cent of the capital’s population, were responsible for 61 per cent of knife murders. They’re likelier to be the victims, too: 45 per cent of knife murder victims in London were black, mostly youths. The reasons for this are complex and tragic.
Duplicated in every Western nation. Blacks and muzzies. Get rid of them and reduce all crime especially violent by 200-300%.
Confirms what I have heard about it being anti-white youth propaganda trash.
No British show would portray Mueslis and minorities in such a terribly negative light.

Adolescence is the slime of the woke left trying to portray a white kid as a murderer of a young girl, based on a real crime. Except the real crime was committed by a black immigrant killing a young white girl.

Single Gun Theory – I Am What I See (1992)
Peter Dutton’s hopes of being able to form government in a hung parliament have been given a significant boost, as South Australian independent Rebekha Sharkie says she will meet with the Opposition Leader first if he can form a stable administration that will champion regional voters.
Ms Sharkie’s intervention now puts the pressure on teal independent MPs and candidates in traditionally Liberal electorates to say which party leader they would turn to first and what factors will determine who they choose to be the nation’s next prime minister.
The Coalition will be further buoyed by Ms Sharkie identifying unfettered population growth through immigration as a major problem in her seat, home to the once-quiet town of Mount Barker, which has become the fastest-growing city in SA with huge infrastructure pressures and housing shortfalls.
Ms Sharkie, a former Liberal Party adviser, has become a popular and entrenched independent voice for the Adelaide Hills and Fleurieu Peninsula seat of Mayo, which she holds with a 12 per cent margin.
She told The Australian her decision to give Mr Dutton the first chance to make his case ahead of Anthony Albanese reflected the fact Mayo voters have historically been more aligned with the Liberals than Labor.
Dutton needs to hold all his seats. Leichardt up this way may be a problem. ALP apparently throwing the kitchen sink at it as Entsch is retiring.
I’m happy to be corrected, but Dutton have to hold all his seats, and pick up another twenty to govern in his own right?
I’m seeing a labor Government, in coalition with the Greens, as about the worst outcome for this country.
A surplus profits tax, a wealth tax and an inheritance tax…
but doesn’t Dutton have to hold……
Zulu at present I see a big swing Lib/Nat.
However not enough. Palmer fortunately is getting no coverage so leakage there will be minimal.
If and just if Dutton gets within striking range he’s going to be dealing with a motley crew with Katter, Broadbent and whatever else is thrown up. Maybe even trying to horse trade with Climate200 party if he doesn’t even make that. Sharkey would be closer to the Climate200 mob than a true independent.
Dutton has to win outright or it isn’t working. As much as the left faction would love a coalition with Climate200 I reckon it would be dysfunctional and Dutton would be another 1 term government, that’s if the Nats don’t walk away from the coalition.

The video discusses why intellectuals are often drawn to socialism, as explained by Thomas Sowell. Intellectuals, whose main products are ideas, sometimes believe their expertise in specific fields can extend to societal governance. This can lead to overconfidence in their ability to plan and control society without bearing the consequences of failure, unlike engineers or scientists whose ideas are directly tested against reality. Sowell argues that intellectuals are tempted to concentrate power, believing they possess the necessary knowledge to improve society. However, he points out that knowledge essential for effective governance is dispersed widely, not centralized in intellectuals. Central planning often fails because it can’t match the distributed knowledge and decision-making of a free market, which organically adapts to people’s needs. Furthermore, Sowell criticizes the welfare state and the vision of intellectual elites who see themselves as societal leaders. He claims this view disconnects the production and consumption link, fostering entitlement without obligation or appreciation. This mindset is counterproductive, as it leads to the erosion of personal responsibility and societal gratitude. Lastly, the video touches on the broader vision among intellectuals that societal problems like poverty and injustice stem from flawed institutions. This belief holds that intellectuals, due to their supposed moral and intellectual superiority, are equipped to devise solutions, often underestimating the inherent complexities and decentralized nature of human societies.
You forgot hubris. They think their intelligence can compensate for lack of knowledge. It can’t.
I only ever overturn advice from subject matter experts due to considerations beyond their expertise, such as time and cost. At worst I will hypothesise alternatives but even then it’s only our of consideration for such things as time and cost.
Theorists don’t believe reality can be different, and thus they can make better choices at a distance. It inevitably fails. High IQ hubristic morons.
There are some ideas so ridiculous, that it takes an Intellectual or a Charlatan to believe them. Net Zero for one.
the more they shout it, the more they’re faking it. When they’re anti-war, they’re pro their war, when they’re compassionate, their anti compassion to you, when they are pro environment, they are anti-your environment.
They don’t have principles, only tactics. Like any good sociopath, they tell you what they think you want to hear. They have no idea what these things mean at a personal level. They only know you like it, thus it should be exploited along with your emotions.
Only anti-communists understand this.
There is no such thing as “rights”.
There is only duties and responsibilities; power and the ability or not to enforce.
We know this, because whenever someone wants their “rights” they immediately have to find someone with the power of enforcement.
Say you have the “rights” to a piece of land. All that entails is the duty to pay anyone for anything over that land who has the power to enforce you to do so.
You only have that which you have the power to enforce.
The ordinary man has no such power, and therefore pays and pays and pays. This has always been so.
The insect can insist all it wants to the bird that it has “rights”. It will still be torn to shreds and consumed.
You and everything you are and possess will be torn to shreds and consumed by those with the power to do so.
Be happy you were allowed to exist in the first place.

Anthony Albanese’s energy and climate change transition has been rocked after the Prime Minister junked ALP-commissioned modelling underpinning Labor’s promise to cut power bills by $378 from 2030 and the government’s 43 per cent emissions reduction target.
In a move attacked by the Coalition and Greens as “waving the white flag on power prices” and not “cutting emissions fast enough”, Mr Albanese torpedoed the 2022 election RepuTex modelling he previously dubbed “the most comprehensive modelling ever done for any policy by any opposition in Australia’s history since Federation”.
Asked by The Australian whether Labor stood-by its Powering Australia modelling that electricity bills would reduce by more than $100 between 2025 and 2030, Mr Albanese on Sunday declared three-times that it was “RepuTex’s modelling”.

Suuure she was.
And around and around we go again.
And if she gets out and murders her baby, it will have been one of those completely unforeseeable events that confound the wisest.
‘But, but, she had a reference’
Maybe if she murders all her children we can console ourselves by the reflection that she won’t contaminate the gene pool.
I can imagine her offspring being even worse.
I have heard that in ancient China when a murderer was caught, the authorities would execute him, also his parents (for doing such a bad job of raising him), his siblings (who had also been raised by the same bad parents) and his offspring (who had been raised by a really bad man.)
I don’t know if this is true, but it has a certain kind of bureaucratic logic.
And what happened to the children?
