No compensation for faulty Growler aircraft that burst into flames
The Department of Defence is reviewing all major foreign military contracts after the United States declared it will not pay any compensation for a new $125 million warplane destroyed by fire due to a faulty engine.
The expensive setback was revealed during a parliamentary hearing where officials also disclosed that the cost of Australia’s Future Submarine program could top an estimated $225 billion by 2080.
In January 2018, an American-made Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) Growler skidded across a runway and burst into flames following a dramatic engine malfunction during an attempted take-off at a US military base in Nevada.
The ABC last year revealed a RAAF investigation had confirmed a high-pressure compressor in the Growler’s engine had broken into three major pieces, with one segment piercing through the bottom of the jet and taking a chunk out of the runway.
The badly-damaged aircraft was eventually written off after what senior defence figures privately described as the “most serious incident of its kind for the RAAF in more than 25 years”.
Ever since the fiery mishap, Australia has tried to claim compensation from the United States Navy for the loss of the $125 million warplane, but Defence officials have now revealed they have been unsuccessful.
Air Vice Marshal Greg Hoffman, the head of the Defence Department’s Aerospace Systems Division, told Senate Estimates that Australian taxpayers would now have to foot the bill.
“The US Navy has formally written to us and advised that unfortunately, and it is very unfortunate that we can’t get compensated for this, but the position is there is no compensation,” he said.
Under questioning from crossbench senator Rex Patrick, Air Vice Marshal Hoffman said the United States Navy would also receive no compensation from the contractor if it experienced a similar mishap.
“In the aircraft industry there’s a lot of self-insurance that goes on and so the owner and operator holds the liability for the aeroplane,” he said.
Deputy Defence secretary Tony Fraser said the department was examining whether there were warranty protections on other large purchases.
“It has been a difficult lesson and as we’ve pursued legal advice on all of the foreign military sales and cooperative programs we’ll continue to strengthen that,” he said.
“We have just taken on an assistant legal adviser, lawyer, to assist me in looking at our contracts and protections for the Commonwealth.”
Defence Minister Linda Reynolds told the committee the Growler contract was finalised and signed with the United States Navy before the Coalition came to power.
“Proposals were put up to government and it was a decision of government, and in this case the Labor government of the day, to accept this,” she said.
The RAAF has 11 jets remaining in its EA-18G Growler fleet but is yet to decide whether it will replace the damaged aircraft.
Submarine fleet could eventually cost $225 billion
Defence officials also told the Senate committee that the total cost of Australia’s next fleet of submarines could reach $225 billion by the year 2080.
Rear Admiral Gregory Sammut, the head of the Future Submarine program, told the hearing the current estimate of building the 12 French- designed fleet will be around $80 billion in “turned-out dollars”, a measure which takes into account factors such as changing currency values.
He also revealed that current departmental estimates for the sustainment of the future submarine fleet would be an additional $145 billion over the next six decades.
“That is our rough estimate as we enter the program noting that we’ll have to develop more accurate through-life support costs as the boat is designed and delivered,” Rear Admiral Sammut said.
Just finished re-watching The Kid From Kogarah, Red Kerry O’Brien’s matey tete-a-tetey with Clive James.
It was better than I remembered- I recall being jacked at the time that Kerry had just stepped away from 7:30 Report, and leveraged his ABC rolodex to snag an interview with the failing expat, setting up his own private production co with which to issue the invoice to Aunty.
Kerry can’t recite poetry for jam. Rushed through, reading James back to James, flashing fingers with his free hand, chin down on his neck and voice the worse for bad posture- Kerry is of course accustomed to chin-up autocue. Clive had taken up singing lessons in his older age, to further strengthen his failing vocals.
So why would James grant access to O’Brien? Surely after having his knuckles rapped and wings clipped by the Beeb over his outright CAGW demolition, he would have known of the lock-step groupthink that prevailed at the ABC. I can only imagine that O’Brien genuinely didn’t know, and that Clive- bless his forgiving heart- counted all the social democrat Left as essentially good people.
Well, a lot of them did that. Either Joshua, or Jeremiah, in the materials I am dealing with.

Gee. New Fred, and I didn’t even notice!
Put this up re something on the Old Fred and got a ‘comments are closed’ box.
A little shudder passed through me at that, on the Cat, so I went t the sidebar to see what was wot.

And so to bed.
Apologies, the link was to a post on Marty Sampson‘s Instagram account. As you may know, Marty’s said some ‘challenging’ things to Christians lately which invite some strong reactions. Marty often posts things and then deletes them some hours later; this time he’s deleted his entire Instagram account. I expect he’ll be back on Insta in a few days once the latest whirlwind has blown over.
In the mean time, the offending post which I linked and asked if anyone would like to reply was Tovia Singer’s argument against Jesus’s messianic claim centred specifically on the prophecies of Ezekiel.
I don’t have the exact text but the gist can be found here, especially the reference to Ezekiel 37-48.

“In the Mood” – very nice dancing, JC. Hairy and I can do the first basic steps of this swing style, although I doubt if we could achieve the throw overs required later. We did go to classes a few years back and learned the side-by-side steps as well as the basic style. We even got reasonably proficient (good enough to get some applause three years ago on the Ovation of the Seas from all the watching fatties) but I doubt if we could recall the steps now beyond the basic.
How wonderful though if one was young enough just for one night to really do it justice, to dance your heart out and be flipped high in the air by the one you love for just that nite or forever and laugh to do it again without catching breath.

I don’t understand the fuss about Tulsi. The only thing about her is that she’s attractive.
Stem-cell therapies use immune system to repair broken hearts
Inflammation too often receives a bad rap. It is an essential component of pathogen defense, repair, and growth. The problem is when it becomes chronic, as my latest bloods suggested. Having a follow up in a couple of weeks because sometimes the markers are spiking because of an infection somewhere. The other possibility is an tumour. Interesting two weeks for me.
Until she smiles and then you all her top gums. Sure, I’m being picky.

First hint that body’s ‘biological age’ can be reversed
Interesting approach. Rejuvenating the thymus gland which is very important to maintain immune function with age. The other aspect is the winding back of DNA methylation, a regulator of gene transcription that increases with age. These types of therapies will take a long time to mature but there are many studies pointing to potential therapies for delaying aging.

Listening to the mayor of London is an amazing disconnect from reality. He talks about the heroism of Londoners who attack a terrorist murderer on London Bridge, then, on another page…
I don’t do travelogues though.
Is there something about London Bridge that attracts people with mental health issues? I’m surprised that the craven MSM hadn’t worked that angle yet.

Simple psychology AfP, exposure, being noticed that’s all it is.
A terrorist could kill many people doing it in a clandestine fashion in dark alleys randomly, he could go on for many days undetected.
People seem to think rules apply when it comes to the Hillary & the Democrats.
Hillary could turn up to the convention in Milwaukee, announce then & then get the nomination.
Rules don’t apply.

Well Tom, I’m going to form a coalition with feelthebern and demand that you not only accept owe eating habits but participate.
Puttanesca pizza is yummy – tomatoes, olive oil, anchovies, olives, capers with little (or no) mozzarella. Thin base. Puffy, crisp edge. 😋
If you want sweetness – definitely add pineapple!

Too much information, Ellie. Sounds very groinal.

‘Just finished re-watching The Kid From Kogarah, Red Kerry O’Brien’s matey tete-a-tetey with Clive James.’
The nadir of the interview – a demonstration of his pretentiousness as well as his relative intellectual and cultural poverty – was poor old Kezza quoting John Lennon to Clive.
It makes one wonder what O’Brien ever had going for him?
What does pasta puttanesca mean?
Spaghetti alla puttanesca (pronounced [spaˈɡetti alla puttaˈneska]; “spaghetti in the style of a prostitute” in Italian) is an Italian pasta dish invented in Naples in the mid-20th century.

Research assistants. At the top of the overstaffed pyramid of ABC, that’s why Kerry was so clueless.
Clive did a masterly “aside” to camera when Red Kerry skilfully decoded one of his poems and racily revealed that it was about temptation, lust and infidelity. Flattered O’Brien while estimating the audience.

Thanks Tom,

Oops!
I go free on a technicality because I don’t add the pineapple myself.

In summary
A) People make choices
3) It is the function of govt to keep them from making bad choices
*) People with no money can’t make choices
e) Therefor govt should take their money so they can’t make choices.
And this guy is supposed to be the centrist, smart one.

She’s “dreading the US 2020 election but will try to cover it as impartially as possible”.
“The impeachment of Trump will probably be defeated because of flaws in the constitution despite the damning evidence of the Mueller report and now the bribery and corruption in the Ukraine”.
The First Fleet and subsequent transportation of thousands of convicts who were overwhelmingly Christian was the reason there were so many massacres of natives.

Bloomberg says the poor are stupid and make bad choices.
Many of the poor in the US are black.
Therefore Bloomberg thinks blacks are stupid.

If this doesn’t embed, then here is the link. It came from a further link on JC’s dance Lindy Hop vid above. Quite long, but fun all the way.
I just love this sort of nostalgia in dance style. We watched an outdoor stage performance of dancers like this beside Lake Como in Italy, and as well as the swing dancing and jitterbugging being spectacular, the girls had some amazing 40’s hairstyles and clothes; so did the guys. On my link here, check out the second pair with her gold knickers and seamed stockings. Ohhh. Memories. 😀

What the fuck you talkin about, Willis?
I get it now, Juan. The rabbi is saying that Jesus didn’t fulfil Ezekiel 37 onwards so no dice, he’s not the Messiah.
Fair enough.
But the rabbi also knows that there are many prophecies in the Torah that have been partially completed. How about the destruction of the temple, for one? Solomon’s temple was destroyed, Nehemiah rebuilt it and Herod had another go, destroyed in 70AD. So Ezekiel’s prophecy, if it is true, must mean a different temple, one that hasn’t yet been built. He might be hoping that one day the Dome of the Rock will be replaced by a new temple.
In a sense, the glory of God did enter the temple – it entered in anger with a whip and overturned the tables of the money changers.
As for God literally “fearing” God, that’s just silly. Respect and submission characterised Jesus’ attitude to the Father, a model for believers.
It’s unfortunate that Sampson has walked away from his faith. It happens all the time.

Farmer’s hilarious response as he refuses to put out his cigarette at the request of a journalist
A farmer has refused a journalist’s request to put out his cigarette with a hilarious response.
Royce Bridges, cattle drover from central Queensland, was asked by a reporter if he could take a cigarette out of his mouth.
‘Mate I smoke. If they don’t like it, stuff them,’ he replied.
Queensland cattle drover Royce Bridges (pictured above) told a journalist that if people don’t like him smoking ‘stuff them’
Viewers found the drover hilarious and one said, ‘This bloke is my spirit animal’
Another commented: ‘That is gold!’
Bridges was in the process of leading a heard of over 1000 cattle through Blackwattle, a town in central Queensland.
He had spent 11 months walking over 300,000 kilometers through the drought-stricken state in search of feed.
Bridges, along with with three other drovers, was leading a cattle drive through towns in central Queensland, the likes of which had not been seen for 30 years.
He said that people were friendly and welcoming to the heard of animals, ‘They all want to come and have a look, they’ve probably never seen it before.’

Phillip Adams replayed an old chat with Clive last week using ‘I thought’, I went’, ‘I wrote about’, ‘I imagine’, ‘I’m sure’, and repeatedly interrupting his subject’s train of thought.
He must be a dream interviewee but the early affability in Clive’s voice shaded into audible dismay as things went on. ‘Sorry to interrupt’, he said at one point. LOL.
Still on the last Open Fred, put up a screed where I repeat my feels that Ms O’Bama/Ms Clinton get drafted for the nomination, but the old fredde no longer takes submissions and so I lost the post.
However, there are two reasons for the girls to not be in the running:
1. They aren’t exposed to President Trumps twitter account,
2. They don’t have to expend energy to run for the nomination.
It’s worthwhile throwing $100 at the girls – just to keep them honest. My thinking is that Hillary takes the nomination, Michelle O’bama gets the VP slot. Hilary gets the big chair so she can stop the gaol sentences for treason, and Michelle can run after her creating the O’Bama Dynasty.
I also have doubts about President Trump surviving the next year – there have been too many threats and attempts on his life so far. I hope to God he does, we need a man of his caliber badly.

Singer assumes that Christ must only be a Jewish Messiah who had come only to redeem the Jews, but we know from his ministry that Christ believed redemption was not limited to them. Singer also has a problem with the Trinity, with what Christ is, so his criticisms are not limited to prophecy either.

Juan – I’ve been busy so haven’t had a chance to address the question especially since there’s a lot there.
Ok a few comments re Ez 37-48.
1. Ez 37:1-13: Jesus calls himself the Son of Man, which effectively is the Son of Adam, since that is the word for man in Hebrew. He fulfills the phrase which refers to Adam’s seed in Gen 3 ‘he will crush the serpent’s head’.
2. Ez 37:14: that is fulfilled at Pentecost
3. Ez 37:15-38: Jesus is the son (descendant) of David and the foretold king in the line of David who will reign forever, in the new Israel. As you will see in the confessions he is seated at the right hand of God the Father.
4. Ez 38: I don’t know about this section much.
5. Ez 39:29 Again fulfilled at Pentecost
6. Ez 40-44: Ezra/Nehemiah rebuilt the Temple, which Herod them renovated.
7. Ez 45-48: Looks to refer to the land of Israel after the Return, ie as described in Ezra/Nehemiah. It may also allude to the new heavens and the new earth in Revelation.
This is all off the top of my head. There are plenty of commentaries you can look at. But apart from Ez 38 all of it is in the sweep of Israelite history between when Ezekiel wrote in Mesopotamia and Pentecost.
I don’t see anything contradicting Jesus the Son and his teaching.
Ok that’s enough, I’m off to the shops!

Journalist of Chinese ethnicity writes today that the “White Australia” policy was designed to keep Australia racially pure (as if it ever was).
No mention of its origins in the fierce trade union opposition to low wage workers emigrating from the Asia-Pacific region.
The article is on a gentleman from north Qld of Chinese ethnicity who rose to Major-General in the army reserve, the highest rank attainable.
What a horribly racist country we are! No doubt calls for compensation will be next.
The solution to English terrorism is obvious.

Not bad, but I doubt his herd would have got to market with much weight on them.

I was thinking how the housing market is changing, extremely high prices, multiple investors and masses of massive quickly erected apartepment towers in the cities. All owned by investors. Similarly, large shopping centre and retail strip ownership is increasingly centralised.
Are we soon to end up with an asset owning class (no doubt with public housing partners) lording it over pleb renters? Will this mean the loss of economic freedom for the ordinary joe as we are increasingly europeanised?
Will commercial landlords happily price small business out of shops, happy to amortise empty shops across those that remain, and rely on capital gain?

LOL. That’s an interesting yarn, KD, and definitely far more entertaining than the actuality. The story has grammatical/factual errors. The journalist in question is an actual “she” – the young Rachel Baxter. Rachel may/may not be responsible for the errors. My link above is to a UK media site that may have “tweaked” some of the information.
Royce Bridges has been in search of feed for the cattle. Story from a few months back:
https://www.queenslandcountrylife.com.au/story/6285582/first-mob-of-cattle-in-south-burnett-since-1990s/
A peculiarity of the story is PC Rachel’s asinine request that Royce not smoke while she was “interviewing”. Royce politely declined. Rachel, too, may have learned something useful from the encounter. She posted the video on twitter with the comment:
When an annoying journo asks you to put down the ciggie… but you’ve been droving all year in the blistering heat and freezing cold. I guess this is a normal reaction. What a legend.

Lol.
It involves daggy mom jeans and rockports. Stand down.
The ‘poor misunderstood’ London Bridge bloke thought it would be clever to wear a fake bomb vest.
With no fake bomb vest, the bloke would probably now be in a prison cell. And likely let out again in a few years. Very smart!
Ha, ha.
Just saw something posted by Brendan O’Neill on FB about how a bloke grabbed a narwhal whale tusk from the wall of a pub to tackle the stabby bloke with.
One SJW joins the thread pontificating that “we shouldn’t judge a whole group by the actions of one mentally ill person”.
Someone then asks “which group is being judged?”, for nowhere in O’Neill’s post or any of the comments was their a mention of any race, group, religion, football club or social club.
Gosh, that is awkward.
It seems the SJW may have been the one jumping to conclusions.
Unfuckingbelieveable.
Terrorism ‘expert’ on Sky says it would be awesome if convicted terrorists were compelled to ‘swear on the K0ran’ to make them stop stabbing random punters. Further says that would be the best thing to do.
What do they do, hold raffles somewhere to see who gets to be an expert this week?
Muppet.
I hope a Narwhal tusk is haram.
I don’t think that would bother any of the vast hordes the far right terrorists.
I doubt the journo was complaining about the ciggy. More likely a corporate department directive to avoid showing smokers on camera.

“[It’s a benefit] not having to rely on other people if they’re not pulling their weight, or not helping out. I hear from other mums that do have partners, they complain a lot about their husbands or partners,” she said.
Bessie said while many people have described her decision to embark on parenting on her own as “brave”, she said she is just fulfilling her dreams.
“It’s changed my life and I’m so grateful that we live in a society that is mostly accepting of people’s decisions to be able to do this,” she said.
“The technology and the support is available out there for women like myself who haven’t met a person, but do really want to become a mother.”
…
This is almost certainly a lie..
Professor Fiona Kelly, who specialises in laws governing assisted reproduction at Latrobe University, has been looking at the research around kids raised by women who have chosen to go down the single-parent path.
“There’s not a lot of them who are yet adults, but research shows quite conclusively that they have the same psychological educational outcomes as children raised by two parents,” she said.

Academics were finishing workshops on storytelling and creative writing when a guest at the conference on prisoner rehabilitation appeared clutching two large kitchen knives. During a few frenzied minutes yesterday the attacker stabbed those who crossed his path, before being tackled by witnesses and shot dead by police.
This is the groups twitter feed, which has been locked.

‘Education as the practice of freedom.’ Bringing students in Higher Education & Criminal Justice institutions together in transformative learning communities.
Metropolitan Police assistant commissioner Neil Basu said the event began at Learning Together, a justice conference featuring ex-prisoners, academics and justice advocates. Organiser the Learning Together Network has locked its twitter account.
Basu said in a statement:
The circumstances, as we currently understand them, are that the attacker attended an event earlier on Friday afternoon at Fishmonger’s Hall called ‘Learning Together’. We believe that the attack began inside before he left the building and proceeded onto London Bridge, where he was detained and subsequently confronted and shot by armed officers.
Extensive cordons are likely to remain in place for some time and I would ask the public to continue to avoid the area.
The Times has reported that the attacker, who police have identified as Usman Khan, was invited to attend the conference and sat through a morning session.
I thought Londonistan had solved it’s stabby problem. Clearly need more.

Also looks like it was the despised underclass which may have tackled him in the first place.
One witness said he spoke to one of the men who helped wrestle the knifeman to the ground after they were taken to the Salvation Army headquarters to be interviewed by police.
He told the PA news agency:
The guy who was on top of him said he [the attacker] had been in prison for terrorism, apparently.
Some of the guys who were on top of him were ex-prisoners and they had all been in the Fishmongers’ Hall.
The guy told me he was in prison with the attacker.
