Liberty Quote
The great virtue of a free market system is that it does not care what color people are; it does not care what their religion is; it only cares whether they can produce something you want to buy. It is the most effective system we have discovered to enable people who hate one another to deal with one another and help one another.

Any existing open polls for cats to go express their ‘support’?
Since Ashton’s return has anyone noticed the change in the rhetoric? Now back to no gangs just social problems and now using Caucasian as a description of criminals to demonstrate it is not only a certain race which is still not mentioned in descriptions. Heard that the stats are being fudged also.

Early December 2017, the Governor of Borno State announced a new strategy in the fight against Boko Haram. Reuters reported, “Displaced people will be housed in fortified garrison towns, ringed by farms, with the rest of the countryside effectively left to fend for itself.” Governor Shettima argued that “There’s beauty in numbers, there’s security in numbers,” explaining the government’s objective “is to congregate all the people in five major urban settlements and provide them with means of livelihood, education, health care and of course security.”
Once their population Ponzi scheme reaches critical mass, Australia’s elites can stack all the proles into vertical ghettos in the coastal megacities and megashantytowns in the outback.
Their Julie bishop will be reporting at Davos how successful the turnbull government is in progressing this agenda.
When it comes to people being money, there is beauty in gross numbers.
Comrades.

Forget North Korea, ISIS, satanic Globalisation rumours. The ultimate horror is upon us. There’s an avocado shortage!
At $3.90 it’s now a matter of finding one big enough to go three salads.
Yes and I’m not happy about it. No wonder I haven’t been able to find any decent ones (if at all).
Driverless trains looking a good option.

Cat ladies using them for vaginal moon eggs?
There will soon be security guards on the avocado bench at the local Woolies.

This will be most upsetting for the Ponds Institute, whose highly scientific online poll found 99% of Australians want the date changed immediately:

Presumably Comey is suing his “lawyer” for a breach of trust in releasing details of a privileged consultation to the media.
No?

It is so hypocritical besides being racist.
Well, of course it is.
Leftism is based on Hypocrisy, lazy entitlement (stealing), and without a doubt, I believe their foremost dismal quality that consumes them.
Racism.
They absolutely despise my culture and feel no need to be aware of it, in fact they denigrate it daily, while wanting me to apologise for it and walk on eggshells around people who in most cases aren’t even black.
How bad have the Liberal party become to be part of this rot?
The UNiLiberals must be wiped from the earth.
This shit, along with Welcome to country (you can’t welcome me to my own country) and signs on roadsides saying welcome to “Wemadeournameup” country, and all the millions of gradually introduced bullshit has to be revisited and attacked for what it is.
Racism and anti western cultural Marxism.
I don’t mind if they ban funeral balloons, as long as they also ban ticker tape parades for sporting luminaries and fireworks dedicated to homo-hoedowns.
Mogadishu on the Yarra latest:
Melbourne residents desperately installing bollards in their driveways to deter home invading African gangs.
Which it won’t; they will simply escalate the threats to obtain the bollard keys as well as the car keys.
Wasn’t glitter said to be un-environmentally friendly ? Not a word said. Had it been used at funerals perhaps they’d have complained.
Too true, Bear. Or ladies with suddenly ample bosoms. Perhaps the fruit will need security tags like high end meat.
Funerals are solemn affairs, not kiddies’ parties. Keep the ballons at home.
Or…release a dove or two to remind participants of the Way of All Flesh.
Get the mourners to dress as Mardi Gras hags and they’ll be able to make as much mess as they like.
Based on this reasoning I immediately call for the banning of all music “festivals”, the Mardi gras, the use of paints and environmentally unfriendly products in street protests and ……………………………………..etc

The resurrected post-Trump TPP was top of the bulletin for Their Skynews.
TPP a good deal for Australia: Ciobo
I would struggle to find a reference easily, but I recall discussions online a while back suggesting the Obama-era TPP was larded with environmental, gender and every other sort of SJW commitments. Trade was kind of a cover for the real nub of the TPP.
Tellingly, Their Skynews interviewed Minister Ciobo live from the WEF in Davos.
This alone probably tells us we are about to see the strip mining of Australia’s wealth rise to a new intensity.

Hi Struth…no not really.
Have done three Darwin stints: 1968-69; 1988-1999; and 2007 to now. But have always been more of a beer and BBQ bloke.
Bloke I know went into the old Nightcliff Hotel which had the cage bar…I think that was the one on the esplanade there.
He thought it was perfectly normal until some bloke on a motorbike rode it into the bar; had a beer without dismounting and rode out again. The thing that convinced him of Darwin’s different approach to life was that several of the people drinking there didn’t even look around.
Is a list of all the Australian politicians and their bureaucrat masters swapping ideas with UN functionaries and other anti-democratic globalists at Davos? They would be better off getting out in their electorates and speaking to the people they are paid to represent.
Yes, Lucy’s dad.
No. He is Tom Hughes Jnr. Her brother. Tom Hughes QC is retired.
Or…release a dove or two to remind participants of the Way of All Flesh
I wonder where these doves come from, if they are kept in captivity for people to buy and then are released at a funeral after which they will surely die in an environment they are not used to. Their own funeral, so to speak.
Same with releasing butterflies and so on – it begins to be animal cruelty. Animals just can’t be transported to a new environment for people’s entertainment and be expected to survive in a new habitat.
The infamous cage bar – IIRC, they also had the “barefoot mudcrab tying contest” there.
Another example of “Darwin’s different attitude to life” was the Darwin barrister who advised his client to wear a suit to court. He did – with thongs.
Slacker! He’s only 94.
after which they fly back home to their owners, Candy.
Doves are a form of homing pigeon. Nice little earner, I reckon.

Splatter pattern spews his shit across the blog worse every day.
Only white lefties want the day changed. Worse, you push some bullshit Arab meme as they matter a flying fuck to aborigines.
Muslim supremacists see aborigines as weak and vulnerable to conversion, except they couldn’t be arsed going to church on Sundays, let alone praying five times every day.
You’re a parasite who would use Islam to further yourself as much as you use aborigines.
The thing that gets me is, you know full well that you get zero traction here. Why do you bother?
lol, memories of ‘speckled Jim’ (from 1.43 on)
I don’t think this has been mentioned yet: Sci-Fi & Fantasy great Ursula K Le Guin has died aged 88.
Her Earthsea books in particular, get a re-read every few years or so. Vale.
Because the desired outcome is to make the blog unreadable by “normal” rightists and thus drive away those who seek the truth.
Why do lefties love apex predators?
Because they represent unrivalled power.
Lefties desire absolute power, not over themselves, but all others.
Beware the apex predator lovers.
You cannot find refuge in a right which you have relinquished. Desperation.
I need to lie down. Germaine Greer made the same point Ive ben making to the harpy sisterhood for years now.
She revealed that she is currently writing a new book, which will be called On Rape, a follow-up to her previous essay, On Rage. “My feeling is we ditch rape altogether [as a crime] because it’s hopeless. I have seen the police working up a rape case trying desperately hard to build it up so it will stand up in court – and wasting their time,” she said. “The burden of proof is too high and that’s because the tariff is too onerous. Rape is a daily crime, it’s not spectacular. What we need is a coherent law of sexual assault.”
Ive said a number of times if you want huge sentences then the crime must have a high evidentiary barrier to prove guilt.
If you want convictions aplenty then the penalty has to be lower so the amount of evidence needed to convict is also less.
If rape was instead treated as common assault with similar penalties would we be worse off?
More convictions, with repeat offenders able to be locked away for longer and longer times.
My comment about the doves was low-flying sarcasm. Looks like it got hit by a truck too.
I agree, generally, but the joyless, endless scolding of these people is utterly sickening.
Sebastian Gorka makes a very good point:
Tale #10320 in the neverending saga of Win10 hatred. Urgently need to do some work on the PC. Microdopes have decided it needs an “update”.
After 35 minutes it’s at 21% complete.
Pure, unadulterated evil.
Peter Jackson is doing a WW1 movie. They’ve taken old film of the time and sharpened the images. It’s quite incredible.

Rape is a forced, brutal and definitely unwanted and resisted penetration of a woman’s vagina by a man’s erect penis. It may produce a pregnancy or introduce a serious disease into a woman’s body. The charge is specifically related to females.
All else, the definitional tinkering around the edges of ‘he said’ ‘she said’ concerning consent, and the various touching ups, from unwanted digital penetration to a hand on a girl’s knee, is sexual assault. So is a woman pressuring or restraining a male for sexual congress; that can be sexual assault but it is never rape.
My opinion only of course. Other may see it differently.
One of the great story tellers Cold Hands.
Just saying too that a hand on a girl’s knee is an unlikely sexual assault, and in most cases it can be dismissed more readily as a companionable gesture, as are many such male/female contacts. Not so the uninvited ‘pussy grab’ though.
I reckon the question is fast becoming .. how could Trump not have fired Comey?

Comments underneath Tim Blair’s announcement that Mike Carlton is writing his autobiography are reasonably amusing.
The insanity continues…..hoisted from the Molonglo Pravda
Greenhouse gas emissions from the electricity sector would be reduced at twice the rate proposed by the Turnbull government under a radical new plan outlined by the Australian Energy Market Operator.
The “fast change” model puts the public operator on a collision course with policymakers after AEMO outlined a potential cut of 52 per cent to all electricity emissions by 2030, double the rate required to meet our Paris climate change commitments.The paper comes as the government-created Energy Security Board – of which AEMO’s renewables-focused chief executive Audrey Zibelman is a member – is preparing to release modelling next month for the government’s National Energy Guarantee aimed at shoring up reliability while curbing carbon emissions.
FFS!
As gender is an entirely made up load of old bullocks, I will happily identify my “gender” as whatever the hell works to keep these lunatics off my back. I suggest you all do the same.
My sex, however, remains permanently old, male, hetero and pissed off.
Was Blair joking that Carlton’s biography is 200,000 words?
Link to article here
The funniest Blair take-down of Carlton:
Lord Carlton.
Audio still works. Hilarious.
From now on tick the”female” and write “Ms” on all the forms.
Start a movement, sisters.
Let’s get rid of that gender pay gap once and for all.
LOL wannabe president MSNBC loser Joe Scarborough has released a white knight anthem for the women’s marchers. It’s just. So. Bad. As you would expect. Talk about bringing the cheese. Just give up on the music career, Joe! You really suck at it! Here it is as broadcast by MSNBC during Joe and Mika’s show, set to images of the women’s marches, replete with hollow statements of empowerment and clips of Trump (being compared to a column of tanks!).
Unsurprisingly, the interwebz is reacting.

Actually, nakba may be appropriate, but not in the way they expect.
Remember, the catastrophe happened because the Trans-Jordanians thought a spot of casual murder and looting would be enough to secure a nation.
Meanwhile, the Yehud were establishing airlines and airforces, telephone networks and supply chains.

Rape as I define it can also have a serious psychological dimension for a woman, as full sexual intercourse is the foundation of the relationship of marriage, a building block of all social life in human societies. Rape strikes at the heart of civilization and ordered sexual relationships.
On a personal level however, this psychological dimension is variable, depending on the woman’s own perception of the event and her capacity to sideline it in her life, as well as in her community’s reaction to it if the rape is made public. In this sense, rape is by no means comparable to murder, which removes the right of the murdered person to their very existence.
Goodness, Arky. Mrs. Arky’s cooking can’t be that bad surely?
What about those compensating charms? 🙂
..
This is why the humane thing to do is only ever release doves with lit fireworks inserted.
..
That’s Ms. Arky to you, sister.
Can any Canberra Cats explain to the rest of us what mandate the AEMO is operating under such that it is now operating a separate policy stream to that of the local Federal government ? Or do we assume they pledge their loyalty to higher power like the UN and IPCC ?
Not surprising – because it sure isn’t ‘Energy’ or ‘Business’. It is the unelected apparatchiks pushing for control without an electoral mandate.
Hence, their embrace of muslimhood?
Thinking as I go: under my definition a lesbian can never rape a woman. She may use implements or fingers which put the situation simply into the category of sexual assault. Similarly, a man using such an implement in a similar attack upon a woman would be more guilty of sexual assault than rape.
Why are you marching?
Uhh it’s just, like, Trump has been so, like misogynistic, and has brought in, like, all these anti-women laws and stuff and I just feel that, like, we’re going back, like to some time, like, where women were not, like seen and ahhh not…heard and I, like, really feel scared for the, like, future and stuff
Oops, the bolds are reversed for some reason. Stupidity, probably.
Is that like literature fat shaming? Clemmy will be onto you.
Australia’s energy operator proposes ‘fast change’ scenario to cut emissions by 52 per cent by 2030
Trump would never be caught out like this.
So, a journeyman tennis player makes the quarter finals of the Australian Open for the first time, beating two top-10 players and already guaranteeing that he’ll earn as much from this tournament as he has in his entire career to date.
A feel-good sports story, right?
Well, not if your name’s Tennys Sandgren, you’re a Trump supporter, and you’ve previously retweeted alt-right figures (since when were retweets assumed to be endorsements, anyway?), in which case you can expect a grilling from the press on your political views.

My favourite pic of Lord Carlton.
And like, women of colour and, you know, different races and stuff. And I just think what’s happening is so wrong and I, like, had to come here and, like, I need people and you know society to like hear my voice because it’s like so wrong
What will the family court do if all biological fathers started showing up identifying as Ms?
Ms. Arky, OK, I take your point. No, let me rephrase that now you have your penis nicely tucked.
Ms. Arky, there is much you have to learn about being a Ms. We’ll start with deportment (walking in high heels) and from there we will move on to make-up (eyebrow plucking first; be quiet, it hardly hurts at all).
On second thoughts, scroll back for the link yesterday to the June Daly Watkins School of Helpfulness.
Enrol. Only $800 and you are in, Ms. Arky. Saves me a lot of bother, sister. Alternatively, I could just pass you over to my own Big Sis. She’d put the frighteners on any aspirant female wannabe.
You’d never match her. One of her withering looks and you’d die in your oversized boots.
Asked this question before, what is the fucking AEMO there for?
Nice dashboard, who polishes it.
No, I’m a lesbian: none of your deportment crap applies.
Sister.
Excluding first person singular pronouns it is only 155,000.
Hear me roar.
He’d better not lose his phone.
Picture of a middle aged man, having a mid life crisis.
Ige isn’t the first to lose something important.
lol. ‘The mouse that roared’.
Mousy lezzos are everywhere, Ms. Arky. Sad.
I guess you’ll fit in.

Point missed by all, Bernardi and DL should have raised the question “has Labor and Green staff undergone similar training?”. Obviously it’s a yes, but why does the aboriginal shit get championed by a bunch of staffers and bureaucrats who require a Cert I in ‘kulcha’ to broaden their cultural awareness? Aren’t they full bottles already?!?
hahaha. The lefties will be hoist on their own petard.
The Court will be reduced to the Governor Phillip ‘pants drop’ test.
If all it takes is a tick in a box to eliminate the gender pay gap nonsense once and for all, Lizzie, it would be truculent of me to stand in the way of progress.
Gender is a made up load of bollocks and you cannot change your sex. That is in your chromosomes.
Blair’s repeated beclownment of Carlton (and Moose Knuckes) are one of the great joys of teh internet. There aren’t many.

That won’t work. Gender is assigned by the feelings of the person not some weird objective evaluation of some misogenistic authority figure.

Yup, that capitalism – works much better than govt. control of common resources.
I’m blaming capitalism here, because companies/businesses are just as capable of being infiltrated by luddites as the govt. In fact, most of the current problems stem from some companies bribing govt. to enact controls on power generation to their advantage. The problem is capitalist rent seeking and the billions of dollars they have to bribe officials to do their bidding.

I should have added a little background on my “reduce the penalty, reduce the evidentiary burden” bit above.
A LOT of the harpy sisters want simultaneously harsh penalties for rape and conviction on accusation to spare the lady the stress of a trial.
I shouldnt have to spell out how bad the consequences of that would be.
The only 1/2 way reasonable compromise is to make conviction easier, but penalties for most cases of rape lighter.
Or we leave the current system in place which seems to satisfy nobody.
Reducing the definition of rape to “penis in an orifice” and all the rest to common assault might be a starting point.

I thought that AEMO was supposed to be an independent market operator… now they are suddenly beholden to government. Won’t somebody make up their mind?
Correction: not capitalism, it’s corporatism. And it is a gigantic problem.
Capitalism works.
Corporatism as Farage terms it, can only work if a government has control of an industry and is corruptible.
Right now companies are betting that the government is on a U.N. mission to destroy the joint.
The fact that renewables are failing us, means more renewables are needed.
So they get themselves in on renewables and pressure the corrupt government to step up to the plate and really bring it on.
They won’t be investing in coal power that’s for sure.
In all of the above, it is completely and utterly the fault of government.
You can’t corrupt something that has no control over anything, and you can’t corrupt government if it is not corrupt.
This is the Qld crime of rape is defined.
Consent also applies to assault, so not sure where Greer is coming from. The real issue is believing the complainant, no matter the charge.

Climate scam/refo scam – same/same – you’re paying for it.
I see lil Ben is now going down the Glenn Beck route and selling survival rations.
No it’s capitalism. The problem is the concentration of power in the form of market capture. This is built into the capitalist system. Once you allow buying and selling of businesses, mergers will occur that are designed to bypass market forces. Which is exactly what has happened.
If we were in a true market, it would be an offense to reduce competition by any means.
Oh fuck.
Must be Australia day coming up.

I’m ashamed to be Australian.
If only we were a gay, Islamic, enviromentally, fat free, no smoking, multicultural republic.
It won’t get you pregnant and it is not with a penis if a woman is doing it. So it is sexual assault. It may give you an STD though if the penetration is by a male. Any anal penetration with a penis I also define as a serious sexual assault not rape.
This discussion started when Mole agreed with Greer that we need a ‘coherent definition’ of sexual assault and should thus eschew the term ‘rape’. I’ve tried to keep the concept of rape as a particular very anti-societal usage of women, but to limit it severely by allowing more interpretive leeway into the concept of ‘sexual assault’. I agree that unwanted anal penetration of either a male or female by a male is a proxy for unwanted vaginal penetration and thus comes close to my definition of rape. The use of implements for this sort of attack I would still call a serious sexual assault. It is not body organ into body organ even though, as with digital penetration, it constitutes a proxy for full penetration by a penis.
Joe, as I implied, lefties are hoist on their own stupidity – I was simply pointing out that if all men identified as being womanly wymmins because ‘feelz’, then the Court might have to find a way of distinguishing real women from fake ones that would destroy the leftie insistence that gender is a construct irrelevant to biology. Aboriginal men at Manly Cove in 1788 were in no doubt as to what weird species of being they were regarding when Phillip ordered a sailor to drop his pants and show his tackle.
The Court of course, being captive to leftist memes, would probably make their test reliant on the greater political suitability of each candidate in the case under review and eschew biological attribution altogether.
so not sure where Greer is coming from
I think shes coming from the angle that lowering standards needed for a conviction while still keeping the penalties would be a bad thing.
Heres the full article.
https://www.theguardian.com/books/2018/jan/23/germaine-greer-criticises-whingeing-metoo-movement
“In the old days,” she continued, “there were movies – the Carry On comedies, for example – which always had a man leering after women. And the women always outwitted him – he was a fool. We weren’t afraid of him and we weren’t afraid to slap him down.”
Acknowledging to the Sydney Morning Herald that “what makes it different is when the man has economic power, as Harvey Weinstein has”, Greer said that “if you spread your legs because he said ‘be nice to me and I’ll give you a job in a movie’ then I’m afraid that’s tantamount to consent, and it’s too late now to start whingeing about that”.
….
She revealed that she is currently writing a new book, which will be called On Rape, a follow-up to her previous essay, On Rage. “My feeling is we ditch rape altogether [as a crime] because it’s hopeless. I have seen the police working up a rape case trying desperately hard to build it up so it will stand up in court – and wasting their time,” she said. “The burden of proof is too high and that’s because the tariff is too onerous. Rape is a daily crime, it’s not spectacular. What we need is a coherent law of sexual assault.”
Shes all over the shop, but on the point of treating rape largely as assault I think shes right.
Market capture, with government help and therein lies the problem… how to have a government that protects property rights, while also stays out of putting their regulatory finger on the scale selling political favours.
This of course leads us to the conclusion that certain services and products should never be allowed for sale on the free market (e.g. buying a judge, buying an agency head, buying votes, etc). Once you understand that certain goods and services work well on the free market, while others should not be allowed, you need a framework to decide which is which and how to explain that.
So under your system Venus Williams has to deliberately play badly to ensure the others win a few comps?
This is really stupid.
That’s a little too purist for me. The concept of ‘comparative advantage’ can get in the way of pure markets too, but it is also necessary for their development and smooth operation via trading.
You can capture a market by using them market. Cross-subsidisation by multi-market businesses means that you can use the profits of one business to drive down your price in a different market with a view to bankrupting the existing sellers, thus reducing competition and enabling you to bypass the market and set a price the buyers cannot refuse. It needs no govt. to enable this activity and in fact govt. has a role to prevent it but often is bribed into quiescence. See Microsoft.

Yes because buying and selling in a market is exactly equivalent to playing tennis. Idiot.
Why are you so contemptuous of the free market?

But seriously, how is it not sensible to prepare for a catastrophic government failure? There’s absolutely no sense to do it in urban Australia, as the means to defend ourselves and our supplies from marauding gangs that would spring up in the absence of law enforcement have been confiscated. But that just contrasts our stupidity with the wisdom of the American system.
It’s a remarkable project. Will no doubt be worth a view when released.

Nothing is EXACTLY equivalent to anything, you can always search hard to find some tiny difference.

So can you find an example of anyone who was successful doing that?
Microsoft did not use cross-subsidization, they pressured the hardware vendors into contracts where each unit sold had to pay a Microsoft license whether or not the vendor shipped any software. But what ultimately brought down this strategy? Was if government that saved us from Microsoft with their wonderful regulations? Hell no! The USA and the EU had all these court cases but the result in consumer terms was zippo, nothing. Completely useless.
Microsoft’s strategy was undermined by “white box” computing hardware, and by free market competitors in the marketplace such as Linux, Apple (BSD), FreeBSD, etc. Microsoft are still hanging around but they make very little money shipping operating systems (then again, neither does anyone else because it’s massively commoditized now).
