Liberty Quote
It is a dangerous myth that the people and the government are the same. The government is a set of interests that the people must tirelessly watch to make sure it does not destroy their liberties for its own political advantage.

This does raise an impotant point.
We all know lefties have the ability to change sex by mere statement….shazam, or should I say “poof”…
What sex was he/she/it when he/she/it did not ra-pe that woman?
I mean, look at those tits.
Bill, or CyBill or ,Willy-sky-moonbeam, could have also been a Periodically Instant Environmentally Cisgender Enabled (P.I.E.C.E) of Sequential hermaphroditism in Transition (S.H.I.T)
How odd newspapers are these days.
There are apparently TV programs called “MAFS” and “Game of Thrones” and journalists are so utterly childish that what happens on these shows is now ‘reported’ the next day. This is a indicative of a culture totally exhausted and totally decrepit. As a boy, I don’t recall The Australian reporting on whether Howard Cunningham finally allowed Richie to borrow the Desoto.
Do you think Piers Morgan ever realised how incredibly moronic he sounded in this interview? The lack of self-awareness on display from him is breathtaking.
He really is an appalling host, too. Extremely rude, disrespectful and a complete knucklehead. All he did was dish out slabs of red meat for the revolting PC-obsessed to devour. He is tabloid scum to his very core.
I’m laughing at how often Shortens’ adopted son, Rupert? Doesn’t appear in family shots this election. The boy looks like a young Lib, bulldog pet and all Hahahaha.
Speaking of tits….
Im tireder than 2 tired things tied together then poked with a stick every time on nods off.
RFDS last night (02:00 dislocated /possible fracture in an infant) followed by a pair of septic tits courtesy of a Philippines tummy tuck & boob job this morning.
On autopilot now till tomorrow.
Feminists do Periodically. Does BS?
I think I knew that woman.
She spoke with an English accent but looking at her tits made many men shout OMG and yee haa!
In the family snap I saw, the Shorten lad – a fine young lad he is, no doubt – was wearing a bespoke jacket and tie. Mum’s work, to be sure, and very cool. But, but … that’s not the gear boys wear in family pics out there beyond the Pale – where vees are effs. Poor old Bill. He has to be Andrew Peacock at home and Norm Gallagher on the hustings.
Sabrina?
BS is a period.
And if he is elected, we’ll all get a pain in the guts.
You’re a flying doc, ‘mole?
Where have you been the past few years?
It’s much worse than what you describe.
There are TV programs dedicated to TV programs that report and review what happened in those TV programs. See “Thronecast” and “The Talking Dead” for examples.
There is even a TV program where you can watch people…watching TV! It’s called Gogglebox.
STD a serious tax deficit
That’ll do it, min. 👍
Virtue signalling by uni educated idiots causes shortages…
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/apr/16/new-zealand-suffers-egg-shortage-as-farmers-scramble-to-go-free-range
“Supermarkets are maybe struggling to get the volumes they’d like”.
Brooks said farming free-range was more complex for farmers as they had to deal with issues such as weather, contamination of feed supply, diseases and a higher mortality rate among birds – which all contributed to a minimum 50% higher egg cost for consumers.
A dozen free-range eggs cost NZ$7 and up at most supermarkets, while 30 caged eggs sell for NZ$9.5.*
So near doubling of the price, increasing costs to the producer and shortages, because nothing says you care like using your bully purchasing power to impose your preferences on others.
*Why not compare a dozen to a dozen? Dishonest grubby reporting.
And it was reported on 2GB, salmonella more prevalent from free-range eggs.
I’ve got an idea for a TV series. It features a man who was frozen since 1970and is resuscitated today due to the wonders of modern wotsit. He laughs at the silly PC culture and shocks everyone by just being sane. He treats women as sex objects and they love it. He makes the modern sensitive new age guy look hopelessly inadequate, and assumes they are all poofs.
It would be cheap to make and make a pile of money. The scripts would write themselves.
I would be willing to play the male lead for the fun of it.
……journalists are so utterly childish that what happens on these shows is now ‘reported’ the next day.
Several days ago I passed by news.com.au website and noticed there were 3-4 stories about MAFS, another 2-3 stories about MKR, 1-2 stories about the Royals (specifically Princes William and Harry and their respective wives), 2-3 stories about the election, assorted puff pieces on gardening, cooking, fashion, health and sex.
I didn’t bother to ‘categorise’ every story but was taken aback by the tabloid/magazine approach. I wondered whether there was no actual ‘news’ from around the world. On the other hand, News Corp would not persist with this style if their data logging did not confirm they are getting ‘clicks’. So, somebody is reading this crap.
Well well free range doesn’t sound much like chicken heaven.
I’ve heard that Maoris eat a lot of eggs

It is astonishing to me how intellectually vapid the woke student cohort is. Fancy students trying to drum out a towering intellect such as Paglia from their place of learning.
The Beloved has never been frozen, Dr Beau. He only treats one woman as a sex object. The others he has placed off limits.
Unless opening doors and pulling out chairs counts.

This is the standard of discourse, there is some doozeys at the petition site.
Re: UArts reaction to the situation: A reactionary call for free speech as a way to shut people up or down can be very policey and only placates those who were already harboring some hateful ideas and who already have some privilege, power, and elevated positions but maybe still feel like a lone wolf or misunderstood (especially against a background of neoliberalism). It placates those who the laws already protect. Instead of puffing up a notion of free speech and opinion-forming, just create structures that “pass the mic” (a presidential address doesn’t do that)…create structures that aren’t afraid to be messy and disrupted…do your research on historically who gets a pat on the back for disrupting or a slap on the wrist and who gets treated much much worse.
Free speech is now a “reactionary” position.
They have to be carefully educated that line makes sense, some awful people have been filling these kids heads with shit.
As a J00ish, bisexual woman who has been sexually assaulted this beyond disgusts me. Any university that gives a person like this a platform clearly doesn’t care about their POC and LGBT+ population.

To graduate from UArts, I had to sit in a class taught by a woman who has built a career on erasing my transgender siblings in history as they have always existed, and silencing the voices of marginalized communities.

I’ve got an idea for a TV series.
Sortvof done in a movie, Sly Stallone, Wesley Snipes and Sandra Bullock in the show that started with Stallone and Snipes frozen in a “humane” prison. Snipes gets out decades later, Stallone is defrosted to recapture him, and much humour at the expense of PC follows.
Also features refugees from PC world living a free life away from “civilisation” underground. Sort of a glimpse into our likely future.
Outstanding. That’ll be front page news. Climate sceptic scientist wins unfair dismissal case against alarmist university. Writes itself really.
Indeed. I’ll enlist my family to watch for the lead item on channels 2, 7, 9 and 10. Should be first story after the Notre Dame fire.

Haven’t you read a tabloid newspaper lately, Speedbox? News.com.au is a tabloid news website.
In today’s Melbourne Herald Sun, every news page in the forward news section has stories that can be categorised as celebrity/showbiz gossip. Pages 16, 18 and 19 are DEDICATED gossip columns.
Cats aren’t generally into trivia and gossip, yet Australia’s tabloid formula newspapers, such as the Herald Sun and the Sydney Daily Telegraph are the only ones that break straight news stories daily and occasionally campaign on issues such as crime (carjackings, anyone? Or power prices), whereas Australia’s only remaining broadsheet newspaper, the Paywallian, publishes only talking points. The Paywallian hasn’t broken a hard news story for years.
The tabloid formula is mass-circulation news publishing science whose bedrock is the public interest, whereas the Fakefacts-Nein papers publish only talking points that rigidly conform to leftist political beliefs. That’s why they’re going broke.
I still subscribe to the Paywallian for research purposes, but the only paper I get for the news is the Herald Sun, which I buy from the shop most days.
The head of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ruling Hindu nationalist party took his invective against illegal Muslim immigrants to a new level this week as the general election kicked off, promising to throw them into the Bay of Bengal.
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) President Amit Shah referred to such illegal immigrants as “termites”, a description he also used last September, when he drew condemnation from rights groups. The U.S. State Department also noted the remark in its annual human rights report.
“Infiltrators are like termites in the soil of Bengal,” Shah said on Thursday at a rally in West Bengal, as voting in India’s 39-day general election started.
“A Bharatiya Janata Party government will pick up infiltrators one by one and throw them into the Bay of Bengal,” he said, referring to illegal immigrants from neighbouring Muslim-majority Bangladesh.
Shah nevertheless reiterated the BJP’s stance on giving citizenship to Hindus, Buddhists, Jains and Sikhs from Bangladesh and Pakistan.
India is already working on deporting an estimated 40,000 Rohingya Muslims living in the country after fleeing Buddhist-majority Myanmar. New Delhi considers them a security threat.
The comments from Shah, the right-hand man of Modi, drew criticism from the main opposition Congress party as well as minority groups. On Twitter, some users likened his speech to a suggestion of ethnic cleansing.
“The statement is a direct attack on the identity and integrity of the nation as a secular state,” the Kerala Christian Forum, a group from the southern state, said in a statement. It demanded an apology from Shah.
A BJP spokesman declined to comment on the speech.
Congress spokesman Sanjay Jha said Shah’s remarks were a deliberate attempt to polarise voters along sectarian lines.
“The political business model of the BJP is to raise the communal temperature, keep it at a boil, and to keep India in a permanent religious divide,” Jha said.
No, it couldn’t.
Anyone care to predict how the ABC will handle it?
I’m guess ignore for two or three days, then write one misleading report which will contain a bunch of Monty-style squirrel distractions.
Chinese scientists have put human brain genes in monkeys—and yes, they may be smarter
Now scientists in southern China report that they’ve tried to narrow the evolutionary gap, creating several transgenic macaque monkeys with extra copies of a human gene suspected of playing a role in shaping human intelligence.

Bird on fire on twitter
Design a fence around your farm that is relatively easy to climb in one direction but fiendishly difficult to get back over in the other direction. Sounds like a job for uncivil engineers.
I feel a rant approaching…
I remember when eggs were expensive. Really expensive. I would look at the weekly housekeeping money and work out how many eggs I could afford that week. Sometimes it was only a half dozen. The lion’s share went to my little toddler in the form of custard. The adults went without. I avoided recipes for cakes that required more than one egg (teacake anyone?).
Fresh chicken was the same. Frozen was the go, for something special. A bird eked out to make two meals and stock.
This Hurst creature wants us to go back to this type of worrying rubbish, probably because she has never had to experience it herself. Her drivers are her own food preferences and her idiotic ideology that animals somehow have a better life if a) they never existed in the first place or b) the wild is so much nicer than a farm.
I’ve seen what veganism has done to one young woman who was read the riot act by her worried doctor. Hurst can jam it up her skinny backside.

Ahhhh…that’s better.
A big fraction of the lining material in those buildings was asbestos, which is strong but brittle and forms fine dust extremely easily. That’s why it’s so expensive to dispose of. Quite a few of those first responders are already dead, but given how far the dust spread into normal civilian life, and how slow it can be before symptoms show up … I expect the asbestos is going to become a serious problem for New York at some stage.
Believe me, I come from Western Sydney, I’ve seen lots of the stuff.
Shorten is starting to lose his cool this early in the campaign. He would not answer question on climate costings, journo kept pushing and he got very tetchy . Keep it up boys put on the pressure he was busy telling usual lies about the government. Journos were not interested.

And in good news from the Oz:
Senator Hanson-Young’s political future is also in jeopardy. She was elected 11th out of 12 senators for South Australia in 2016, with only 5.9 per cent of the primary vote — down from 13.3 per cent in 2010. She is under pressure from an emboldened Labor party, Senator Storer and Centre Alliance’s Skye Kakoschke-Moore, who was disqualified from parliament as a British citizen in 2017.
SA Liberal senator Lucy Gichuhi, who was initially elected for the Family First Party, faces defeat after preselectors ignored pressure from John Howard and promoted Adelaide councillor Alex Antic ahead of her.

Maybe if you lot just employed some more people and had manual scanning instead you’d save those billions. Just a thought.
I refuse to use them. Put on more staff. I see many more staff working at Aldi than at Woolies or Coles.
Sometimes they try to direct you to self serve but I cut them off with ‘I don’t like the bloke serving me’.

They’ve already won. Today I noticed the manual check outs had nearly no-one waiting but the self serve check out was nearly full. They just had to keep it going long enough until people habitually turned to the self serve facility. It is now not uncommon to find lines at the self serve.

Even allowing for some tongue-in-cheek there, I shudder to think what vegan music sounds like. I think I’d prefer Vogon poetry.
Bolt reporting the channel 10 reporter who tore tits a new arse today demanding he supply the costs of his green policies. But bolta still sticks to this bullshit that Australia is too small to impact world emissions so ruining our economy doing what tits wants to do is a pyrrhic victory. What bolta and other sceptics like Kelly do when they use this approach is to confirm the alarmist position that not just any CO2 but only human CO2 is destroying the world’s climate.
The right response is to say CO2 is not what the alarmists say; it is not destroying the climate. It’s role as a greenhouse gas is rubbish and the increase in CO2 over the 20thC is natural. The alarmist position must be revealed for the scientific fraud it is.

One of my great memories of Notre Dame is sitting at a window table at this little restaurant and looking down the river to the cathedral.
I thought we were made in the shade and fair enough too.
The restaurant was slow to take advantage of the view of the cathedral … only opened in 1582.
The specialty is duck, crunched in a press to extract the blood and then reduced with wine to make the sauce.
If one positive thing comes out of this fire it is my fervent hope that Americans will stop pronouncing it “Noder Daim”.

Good evening. I note that Tits Shorten was a bit, er, short with a reporter pressing him for costing analyses for his policies. Is there a link to this? This same reporter should be deployed to various Greens morons’ interviews. ScoMo will cop this line of questioning, only fair other candidates do as well.
Bill Shorten a feminist….well there’s one for the books. Yes I suppose he was being a great feminist when he dumped his first wife by text whilst at a football match….yes I suppose he was being a great feminist when he committed adultery whilst married to his first wife and then impregnated a woman who was still married to another man….yes I suppose he is such a great feminist that he has had an allegation of “you know what” against him. Bill Shorten is a feminist whilst Tony Abbott…a man who has remained faithful to his one and only wife and who has never had an allegation of “you know what” against him is somehow the anti-feminist….we really live in strange times.

One of my great memories after visiting Notre Dame was discovering the underground Crypte archéologique de l’île de la Cité, which is in front of the cathedral. And then walking over the bridge to stumble across a hole-in-the-wall crêperie in Rue de la Huchette. I enjoyed the chocolate crêpe while standing on Pont des coeurs while gazing out over the Seine. I would so love to go back to Paris.
Further to Oh Come On on Piers Morgan, my favourite memory of the obnoxious blowhard is the sight of him cowering in the corner of the nets after the Australian cricket team, annoyed by one of his vicious rants against Alistair Cook, challenged him to face an over from Brett Lee. It was delicious viewing – but would have been even better if Lee, instead of bouncing him, had knocked over middle stump six times in a row.

For example take this afternoon on 2GB two dolly birds discussing the Notre Dame fire and one of then then proceeded to interview Sydney Archbishop Anthony Fisher. I expected him to be addressed as Your Excellency or Your Grace but the twit simply said Archbishop and launched into the question. She kept repeating that form of address throughout the interview. Stunning ignorance from people who seek to inform us.

Good news Cats:
Queensland university’s dismissal of professor ruled unlawful
Vanessa Marsh, The Courier-Mail
April 16, 2019 5:24pm
Subscriber only
THE Federal Circuit Court of Australia has found that James Cook University acted unlawfully when it dismissed a professor who spoke out about his colleagues “untrustworthy” research.
Doctor Peter Ridd had worked for James Cook University for 30 years last year when he was sacked for speaking out about his concerns that environmental research being produced by his colleagues was untrustworthy and hadn’t been quality assured.
Judge’s smackdown in university case
After a three-day hearing in the Federal Circuit Court last month, Judge Sal Vasta today found the university’s treatment of the respected professor was unlawful.
Former JCU climate scientist Peter Ridd, left, with his legal team barrister Benjamin Kidston, QC Stuart Wood, lawyer Mitchell Downes, barrister Benjamin Jellis, last month.
“The Court rules that the 17 findings made by the University, the two speech directions, the five confidentiality directions, the no satire direction, the censure and the final censure given by the University and the termination of employment of Professor Ridd by the University were all unlawful,” his court order read.
Professor Peter Ridd.
During the hearing, the court heard that in April 2016, Dr Ridd emailed a newspaper journalist criticising “sensationalist” photos of the reef being distributed by institutions including the Australian institute of Marine Science.
The university officially censured Dr Ridd for the email in which he told the reporter that images purportedly showing the reef in declining health off the coast of Bowen had been selectively taken to ignore the “spectacular” coral that was thriving in the same area.
“This is a relatively trivial though visually spectacular example of bad science on reef,” he wrote.
Dr Ridd also suggested a series of questions for the journalist to ask Professor Terry Hughes, the head of JCU’s Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies, about the veracity and quality of the research, saying he would likely “wriggle and squirm”.
Controversial marine physicist sacked by James Cook University
Barrister Stuart Wood QC, for Dr Ridd, told the court that “instead of simply answering the questions” and defending the scientific processes, Prof Hughes complained to his boss Professor Chris Cocklin about the email, saying it attacked his integrity and that of the Centre of Excellence and the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority.
In November 2017, Dr Ridd again came under fire from the university and was censured a second time for comments he made to Alan Jones on his Sky television program in which the professor said he was concerned about the lack of quality assurance on the “doom science” warning the Great Barrier Reef was in a “catastrophic” state and “at end game”.
Dr Ridd said he was sceptical of research warning the reef was in dire health due to global warming, saying his own research showed the same coral species thriving in the warmer climates in areas including Papua New Guinea and Thailand.
He also raised concerns about peer reviewed papers, saying people would “laugh” at the effort that went into the reviews, saying it was usually one or two other scientists reading of the paper like a subeditor rather than a group of researchers rigorously testing the science.
Months later in April, 2018, Dr Ridd was officially sacked from the job he had held for three decades.
The university’s penalty will be decided at a later court date.

When vegans rule farms will be pastures where humans graze.
They will lie beneath the branches weighed down by the lotus fruits on which they feed, the plants leaves gently leaning to veil them from the light rains falling from clouds that intrude rarely upon mild sunny days.
They will lie at peace with no urges or discomfort interrupting their bliss. Content and whole, they will need no medicine, no other food, no people, no speech.
There will be silence except for the lazy humming of bees about the flowers, and the odd eruption of flatus as shifts their body a centimetre here or there.
And in Canberra, Di Natale and his crew will issue one decree after another to maintain this Eden, which just needs someone to control the weather: which the Greens advertise as their core brief.

Japan musings. In JAL lounge now about to fly home. They have an excellent selection of whisky, sake and beer. This is not a wine country. Anyway, we did a tour a few days ago of Yamasaki whisky distillery. Excellent gear. But alas you can try but can’t buy. We could not buy the stuff at the distillery. Plenty of scotch and bourbon from the parent company armada of brands but none of the local gear. In the stores it seems the same. Japan whisky seems to have got very popular all of a sudden and has been drunk out. With a 10 year lag between investment and supply, expect the deficit to continue. Prices on scotch whisky were criminally cheap, Glenfarclas 12 for $50/L, also got Talisker 10 and Glenmorangie 10 at same terms.
Back to the JAL Lounge, Yamasaki 12y spied and being inbibed. Now more 18 also at hand. Is it rude to double park? Don’t care. Person next to me on flight, apologies in advance.
