This will be an acid test of the extent of Dutton’s pig headedness.
The politics of ethanol is a nightmare. This is a repost:
The Iowa Republican caucuses in early February might also prove interesting if Donald Trump hasn’t undone the damage caused by his EPA’s expanded granting of ethanol blending waivers to oil refineries, which saw an ethanol plant closing in September — not exactly ideal four months before Iowa Republicans gather to caucus.
Trump’s approval ratings with Iowa Republicans remain sky high, but they’re also expecting him to deliver on his promises to end the waivers. In July he told Iowans:
The article goes on to say Trump has left it to his acting EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler to find a solution that will satisfy both corn producers and the oil industry — two constituencies Trump would want to have onside.
Donald Trump is in no danger of losing in Iowa either in February or November but a large protest vote early in the primaries is something he would want to avoid.
More bullshit from BoN.
Greta wouldn’t have to incur the CO2 emissions of a flight from the US to Portugal.
And what is the cleanest, Greenist most Marxist way to get from Portugal to Madrid. The scoldy poppet should go by donkey and cart. Which one pulls the cart will be a toss up.
Fact Check: – False. We have worked out no such thing.
When I go to the map on the Fuel Check site and zoom out it shows the Regular Unleaded prices at 12 BP service stations in the Newcastle area. I think that means that all of the BP stations around you sell Regular Unleaded. Except Warners Bay BP, which I understand is closed and fenced off and not selling any fuel at all.
No spoilers.
The Irishman on Netflix is worth the watch.
One & done, though.
This is no Raging Bull.
The film stinks of a vehicle to get De Niro out of his crippling financial mess.
He co-produced it with Scorsese.
Al Pacino & Joe Pesci are powerhouses & both should get best supporting actor nominations.
De Niro is stale.

Small business opportunity: Open a sex shop in Top Ryde
The anti-porn campaigner who convinced the Mayor of Toowoomba to declare his is “A City Free From Porn” will be meeting with Ryde Council to convince them to do the same:
The article also says Ryde’s “population is growing by 2.5 per cent a year – 56 per cent above the national average” with attendant issues such as “traffic congestion, overcrowded schools and hospitals, and increased crime”; but apparently the top two problems confronting the good burghers of the City of Ryde are pornography and prostitution?!
Which is about 350 more on operational service than you were a member of during your illustrious and oft touted service career which ended in frostbite, apparently…….
8th Danielle’s still got chewy in her pigtails at yet another haughty prediction gone b#lls up, much like her Year 9 Legal Studies’ considered analysis of the Batterham matter.
Fact Check: Undeniably, and hilariously true.
Glad to be proven wrong Numbers.
And you have stimulated me to do a search, which finds this:
EU ban on palm-based biodiesel to negatively impact Europe-Asia vegoil trade (4 Nov)
On the other hand there’s a bit of inconsistency with this other story from only a couple months earlier.
EU warns Indonesia about retaliating against biodiesel duties (5 Sep)
Which seems to suggest the EU isn’t banning palm oil, just putting a tariff on it.
Typical. Never stand between a hypocritical eurocrat and bucket of money.
Frostbite Follies

‘oft-touted’
By others, not me.
My career in that field of endeavour was a number of things:
1. Voluntary, as opposed to failing to game my way out of it;
2. Longer than yours; and
3. Failed to consume my life with self-loathing, knowing I was never and would never be better than the bloke beside me.

And I’ve worked out (and it isn’t difficult) that you manage to brink far Right ideology into everything you post.
Bring, boy, bring. With a G. Stay after school for remedial spelling. Though I doubt it will help.
Dan – I am talking about the petrolspy Google map. I can’t see the Fuel Check site which is NSW government, it doesn’t come up on my browser.
Go to the petrolspy site you linked. Then click on the BP servos. I looked at 6 or 8 of them. A few had 91 ULP. A fair number only stocked E10, 98 and diesel. Not much of a choice.
Great NZ reference, little girl.
And gay references.
No wonder you’re one of the intellectual giants of our time.
Chris Kenny just had someone who looks like Yasmin Mk.2 – and she’s from GetUp – on to talk incessantly about how necessary the Medevac laws are because without them “people die”.
Not so worried about drownings.
Only way to shut her up was to turn the TV off.
Furthermore it’s clear some of the ULP 91 prices are actually for E10, like this one. No way will a BP offer only ethanol free 91, 98 and diesel in Kahibah. It isn’t that sort of suburb.
Had a look at the ABC website.
Nothing about the Tracey Spicer news today.
Funny that.
I used “picky” instead of “piccy” for a reason upthread. It doesn’t matter which site you go to*, all of the BP servos near you sell Regular Unleaded.
Local servo (Doyalson) 1.58 at 3am yesterday morning (fuelwatch showing 1:43 at time of posting)
Servos between northern end of M1 & Maitland showground varied from 1.43 to 1.48 @ 5am yesterday
Servo across the road from Maitland station 1.34 @ 2:30pm
Servos on Cessnock Rd @ Kurri Kurri 1.46-8 @ 3pm
Servos at Cessnock around 1.48-51
Weird how there haven’t been many news items about the putative EU ban on palm oil for biofuel. You’d think it would be in every MSM outlet, seeing it is an environmental story. Guardian, ABC, SMH, they should all be celebrating this great victory for orangutans and biodiversity. Yet all I could find is one story in the Hellenic Shipping News. It’s a mystery.
Uh….
Maybe she’d be better suing her peroxide and tint manufacturer.
LOL
Or, back in the day, ROTFLMAO.
Now that is funny.
I get told over and over again here that I actually, really, definitely “volunteered” because I didn’t join the CMF, and my name was balloted in on 10.03.67.
Catallaxy, where truth is negotiable, facts entirely malleable, and history regularly rewritten to adhere to a narrative.
news.com.au
It’s obvious where Lucy fucked up. She mistook Spicer for a journalist.
Not that I could see. Maybe fifty fifty. Not my nearest one. Should I believe your website or my lying eyes?
I turn it off when necessary. But not for NSW Government websites. I may sometimes pray for the NSW Government as the bible says I should, but that doesn’t mean I’m stupid.
I have yet to find the magical pump at Charmhaven (only has 4) that dispenses U91 that the Fuel Watch site says it sells.
That has never been the question Sniffy. And you know it. The argument has always been that a large proportion of nashos actually did volunteer to go to SVN,WHEN THEY WERE ALREADY IN THE ARMY.
But you love to shift the goalposts. “The first rule of SPIN is to never answer the question you are asked, instead answer the question you wish you were asked”.
Every time Sniffy, every time.
Apparently the Waffleroach has been shooting his big stupid gob off about da climate change. No doubt inspired by another hysterical idiot, Grater Thunberger.
Tracey Spicer is an oppressor of women and a violator women and their human rights.
Sorry if anyone is lunching – the arrival of the CEO at the mediation between Rugby Australia and Israel Folau
sleepy joe bites wife at campaign, no malarkey, meeting in front of dozen of vagrants and other demorat supporters:

And because that adage has not been diligently followed we end up with Sarah Hanson-Young and Adam Bandt, and lamprey-lips from Western Australia
How long before Sleepy Joe turns up to a campaign event wearing a dressing gown.
Zippy:
Is that a threat?
It certainly sounds like one to me.
In my experience, the partners generally engage a major consultancy firm for very large sums to produce these documents because independence gives it unquestioned gravity.
The consultancy partner(s) (aw shucks male, in their fifties) rock up with a couple of underlings who make lots of notes, and get the more senior underling (very, very confident female, in her late twenties) to support them in the inevitable workshop, while the earnest young thing (less confident female, graduate) will do the work writing it up, largely cutting and pasting into templates from previous work, with a few words changed here and there.
This can cost more than $1 million easy.
Interesting to see the Seagull and Danielle the 8th operating as a tag team on petrol. Almost as if they are somehow linked together?
Great Moments in Mediation:
Raelene Castle reminds reporters outside the Federal Court of Israel’s comments at the previous tribunal:
Israel Folau admitted he caused harm when he said LGBT people were going to hell
That doesn’t sound like someone looking for common ground.
You have to wonder what Democrats are smoking. Their top candidates to challenge Trump are a 77 year old who gropes women on camera, sucks his wife’s finger while she’s giving a speech, and likes kids feeling his hairy legs, a 70 year old shrieking harridan, a gay guy married to another guy, who disses Christians for not being Christian enough, and a 78 year old who had a heart attack during he campaign and now has two stents in his ticker. And as a millionaire communist is the sanest of the four of them.
Kahibah? Some say it as Kiabah. Yeah, it’s that sort of suburb. I know it so well I could drive a bus around it blindfolded and point out all the places of interest. The BP “servo” there is really just a corner store with a couple of bowsers out the front … always has been … was a run down dump for many years, until the former owners retired a couple of years ago.
Bruce O’Newk:
I strongly suspect a large factor in the supply and stocking of the ethanol/non ethanol fuels comes down to the differing fuel tanks and the interlinking of the individual piping network at each station. Nearly all the transfer pipes are under concrete and it would be expensive to relay them if new types of fuel were to be stocked.
Bath Salts territory, straight out of Florida, man.
Mirror, mirror …
The Donald to hit London again. No news yet of what insults the Great Khan may organise or sanction to greet this foreign head of state. Wending its way along the streets, a travelling tableau of performance art stabbings with the Trumpinator centre stage comes to mind.
Wedged between Charlestown and Glenrock.
It was fun that when I was working in the labs the new grads would get pads in Charlestown, which was as close to the fleshpots as you could get in the Lake Mac area – Cooks Hill being too far away.
And here’s me thinking that Regular Unleaded isn’t a new type of fuel. I even thought it pre-dated E10.
Sad to report on my missing Brolga after his big talk the other day, I found him twisted in fence wires, caught by the very ends of his legs just above his soft black feet. I cried as we released his body and put him in the shade ‘neath a tree, just the maggots already feeding where his breast had touched the ground.
He must have had a fright and leapt up, into the fence, fallen through and somehow twisted.
I’m sorry old mate that I didn’t find you sooner.
This doesn’t sound like a regime confident in its imminent victory in the trade war.
Keeping it real, as always Helen, but sad nonetheless.
Just a note on ethanol production in the US.
The corn mash (stillage) that comes out of the biofuel production is further processed and used as a high value stock feed.
‘mirror, mirror…’
In this day and age it’s acceptable to be a dumpy fat chick, 8th Danielle.
You’re not Robinson Crusoe in this wide brown land.
She has sooooo missed her true vocation in life.
Out there somewhere is a Gothic Cathedral missing a grotesque carving outside and below the roof that spews out water when it rains.
Sorry to hear about your brolga Helen. Always a sadness. I’m missing an old friend, a grey butcherbird who would sit on my hand. This one. Haven’t seen or heard him for a week. They live in the sun for a while then are no more.
– Knuckle Dragger, the 21st century has yet to dawn for some.
So true, of every and all, but especially our mates.
For some, but not you Tinta.
You’re a honey. Call it instinct.
Entropy @ 1.14 pm:
An excellent summary of the consultancy racket.
What struck me about the , err, product quoted by Judith is its unoriginality and tardiness, these people are getting away with the same stuff – almost word for word – that they were churning out 15 or even 20 years ago.
Watching an episode of Top Gear. The Stig doing a lap time in a 1999 Mazda 323 with 6 stacker CD. Coming up to Gambon (the last corner) it looked like he was going to beat the McLaren F1 time but didn’t quite make it, probably because the track was soaking wet and the McLaren was tested on a dry run. Or maybe it was using a 10% ethanol blend.
Rubbish.
I’ve been entirely consistent in my assertion that – Every National Servicemen who went to Vietnam was a volunteer was a myth.
It was, of course, and now has been removed from the school curriculum, which means that kids are no longer exposed to at least one aspect of Anzackery.
You spent a lot of time abusing me, in the context of your claim that every single Nasho you encountered was a volunteer. That is an assertion, which can’t be supported in fact, whereas what I have revealed can be, and the ANZAC Day Commemoration Committee eventually conceded that.
You abused me, accused me of cowardice, and refused to accept the fact that the actual proportion of volunteer Nashos was 15%, based on sampling techniques. I will arrive at a more accurate assessment when I complete the exercise for all 7 RAR personnel on the nominal roll for the second tour.
The issue of how many Nashos “volunteered” for Vietnam, once called up, is an entirely different question. It’s a meaningless construct, given that they ended up in the Army through an accident of birth, and intention had nothing to do with it. If they were intent on halting the march of Communism they wouldn’t have bothered with the outcome of the ballot. They’d have been in like Flynn.
A true volunteer (a Nasho that when he was due to register, volunteered) is a very different kettle of fish. Remembering that over 800000 twenty year olds went through the system, and about 16000 of them ended up in country, “volunteering” wasn’t all that popular.
Sorry to hear about your brolga Helen.
Ditto. All things considered, probably more humane if brolga was whacked by a wind turbine. The odd one appears here from time to time. Negotiating the plague of ugly windmills which has infested the environment just west of here would be a death defying feat.
Wow, look at the number of singlets and jumpers those cricketers in Adelaide are wearing to deal with the climate emergency. Willyweather says its 17.8deg but feels like 11.7. And the crowd. I’ve seen more people at the wymmins cricket.
Shifty shifty goal posts. You are the dumbest bitch on this blog. You spent your adult life with mentally deficient children and have adopted their ways. You had one chance to associate with adults and act like a man and you blew it.
Not talking to you anymore, going to watch the cricket. Get back to me when you can answer a question as put to you. Until then STFU.
Fact Check: -False.
Your argument has always been that all nashos who went to Vietnam were volunteers.
Where’s my 100 grand? I have been vilified even more. After all, I literally have “Beer” as a middle name.
Some numbers are marvellous: 26 for instance is the only number between a square and a cube. And look at the clapped out integer we get.
What an absolute travesty. There is a political party called the Non-Custodial Parents party which has been trying for a least a decade to bring the Family Court to book for its abject failure to protect children, for the bias against fathers (mostly) and for its secrecy and unaccountability.
Wire fences … devil’s rope … maims and kills more birds than windmills do. Especially long legged birds like brolgas. Waxing lyrical after the bird has died, trapped, in agony, is a bit much.
awwww shucks Knuckle Dragger – but only on the inside – that’s why I am so glad of your comment that it’s OK to be less than Emily Ratajkowski (or is that more?)
No dickless, it doesn’t. Besides, at least wire fences have some utility, windmills for electricity have none, like your dick, and in fact cause great damage to grids, which at least your dick doesn’t do.
Reading a book about a trial in NT. One paragraph goes like this – A jury was selected and contained no Indigenous people. While the NT has by far the largest proportion of Indigenous people at 25% it is common for juries to be all white. Part of the reason is that in smaller centres it’s hard to find Indigenous jurors who don’t have some sort of connection to an accused person from their community. Part of it is the lack of official mail services in the town camps of Darwin and Alice. It’s also hard to get people from remote communities which can be hundreds or thousands of kilometres from the nearest courthouse.
Part of the reason seems to have been missed.
You can’t get much lower than that.
Could be worse – there are still troglodytes who believe that disability is contagious.
That state of mind is driven by fear and ignorance, rather than malice.
Malice is always a possibility however, when you look at the quality of most of what this particular troglodyte posts.
A prominent gay rights campaigner has written to the Anti-Discrimination Board of NSW, accusing ex-Wallaby Israel Folau of ‘homosexuality vilification’ and demanding he apologises and pays $100,000 to a charity.
Activist Garry Burns on Sunday wrote to the board’s president complaining about Folau’s infamous April Instagram post in which he warned hell awaits homosexuals.

Hang about, Bob. I though there was no such thing as a standard syllabus?
If, as you say, it is chosen locally, and knowing the teaching fraternity, any required ANZAC inclusion will start and finish with Simpson and his Donkey. It is the most ‘woke’ way of (begrudgingly) fulfilling the requirement.
Doubt me? Ask any young teenager (who hasn’t done a specialist elective) about Australia’s war history. They haven’t a clue about Australia’s contribution to the Vietnam War, let alone the nuances of the conscription policy.

Such hypocrisy from the eternal racist and ultimate troglodyte.
This is incredible.
Wasn’t Liability Bob’s curious assertion about Nashos and sooking not only NOT in any school curriculum, but on a plaque somewhere in our nation’s capital?
That therefore became an indoctrination for all kiddies? Something they’d remember for the rest of their lives?
I for one can’t recall being taught anything of significance about that conflict. To the education system’s detriment, naturally.
Every time Mater!
Snap.
‘Devil’s rope’?
Never heard wire called by that name.
Must be something you have find your way through to graduate as a Level 3 Elf Goddess on fortnite or something.
Is 8th Scum the Toowoomba racist in drag?
Unsurprising. None at Wanaka. Might be some at Mogadishu, but you made sure not to go there. Actually, you made sure not to go anywhere.
Wanaka.
You’re funny, little girl.
Bet you watched a lot of the A Team and Magnum PI.
You know Tom Selleck’s gay, right?
Any other pompous opinions you’d like dissected?
Factoid:
Simpson, of donkey-related fame was a terrible, terrible hater of the Chooos. It was remarked upon at length by his comrades in arms.
Which has to be an improvement on generations of youngsters conditioned to believe the old lie.
I wonder about the longevity of any government today which implemented random conscription in peacetime to counter a political threat?
Millennials would give it short shrift.
Progress has been made.
Here’s a superbowl bet for you.
For the first time ever, black quarterbacks start for both teams.
952 is another number more interesting than some.
Is a super superbowl a hyperbowl?

Becuase Corbyn is actually campaigning on issues the electorate cares about – housing affordability, wages, NHS etc.
Brexit will be forgotten very quickly, these issues are eternal.
Wire fences … devil’s rope … maims and kills more birds than windmills do. Especially long legged birds like brolgas. Waxing lyrical after the bird has died, trapped, in agony, is a bit much.
What a load of bullshit!
I’ve never seen a large bird caught on a wire fence. String wrapped around a talon and then caught on a fence is a rare problem. Plenty of Roos get the leg caught.
Devil’s rope? Put the bong down.
KD I just checked up on Tom Sellick to see if he was gay and it appears that the answer is NO. He played a gay character in one of his films. So that may be where the rumour started. I noticed that Jane Fonda and Rosie O’Donnel had both outed him. He sued a newspaper in 1991 for printing that he was gay and won.
The reason that the lefties would have” outed” him was because he was the spokesman for the NRA. That will send all of them into a tailspin.

In a sign that the election campaign could go down to the wire, Labour has cut the Conservative lead to nine points, a narrowing of two percentage points since YouGov’s last survey on Wednesday.
Becuase Corbyn is actually campaigning on issues the electorate cares about – housing affordability, wages, NHS etc.

Yep…and the Conservatives are repeating their mistakes from 2017. Whilst I still think that Boris and the Tories will win…..it is not going to be an annihilation.
Ausgrid reports that the Sydney suburb of Asquith has lost electricity power.
I wonder about the longevity of any government today which implemented random conscription in peacetime to counter a political threat?
‘Bung’ Karno had threatened to invade Australia and we were actually fighting a war with the Indons. which was the kick start for the new NS scheme . In September 65 Indons killed hundreds of thousands of their own citizens in what was known as the Gerakan Tiga Puluh September (The 30 September Movement) because the citizens were tainted with communism. Of course, Indons being Indons some of those killed might not have been communists, just people they didn’t like, but overall it sent a message and the communists decided to give Indonesia a miss. They simply maintained pressure in South Vietnam. If Menzies hadn’t looked to bolstering defence in those circumstances he would have been guilty of dereliction of duty.
It was only ever termed a political decision by communists or useful idiots.
I have some recollection of being berated by a teenager, what’s-her-name, a few months ago:
Today, I watched this video about the life of another teenager and her words:
Johno,
As long as the little muffin top 8th Danielle thinks he’s a penis enthusiast, that’ll do me.
She’ll be on the helpline for days.
Gez,
Of course it’s bullshit. Neither Danielle nor her seven predecessors have ever had dirt on their very comfy shoes, let alone seen a farm.
Well done Mater.
8th Dong needs to get out and save those chickens from the chook wire.
It’s a death trap, a suicide rap.

NOOOOOOO!
Very similar to my experience and that of my eldest son with the Family Court in Western Australia when trying to remove my grandson from the care of a woman with really florid schizophrenia. The system seems to be run by feminazis and my son was very badly treated, brought to a difficult mental state himself by the stress of it all. Without family support, especially from me, he might have gone under. We were lucky in the end that she became so bad in a public place with the child that his father at last gained care of him; and he is now the wonderful sixteen year old I have had the privilege of helping to bring up. Until he was four though, his life was made very difficult and dangerous with her various druggie and psycho boyfriends punching him and her own drugged suicide attempt when the child found her and had to find help, aged three. There were various Court decisions concerning his mother’s ‘rights’, and in NSW the DOCS treatment of our concerns for the child during periods when he stayed with his mother was both perfunctory and dismissive. Worst time in my life, as I have said here before, and I feel so much for this father and his slaughtered children.

The hyena beattie’s legacy lives on:
A woman has brought the charred remains of her bushfire-ravaged home to Parliament House in Canberra, accusing both major political parties of failing to act on climate change.
Melinda Plesman and her partner Dean Kennedy lost their family home of 38 years when bushfires tore through Nymboida, south of Grafton in NSW, early last month.
Today she took part in a Greenpeace demonstration calling for action from Australia’s leaders.
The grandmother brought fire-blackened items salvaged from her burnt her home to Canberra to show Prime Minister Scott Morrison what she said was the direct result of climate change.
ABC (of course) link
Sad they lost their home.
Nymboida is a tree changey greeny sort of place.
With lots of eucalypts.
If they thought global warming was going to cause more bushfires why would you choose to live in a place like that?
ABC still not reporting on Tracey Spicer threatening to sue her sources.

If DiNatale really cared he could reduce his family’s carbon footprint by 100% in an instant.

As you would recall, people with a penchant for building and or living in houses on the top of escarpments and then into the bush in the Katoomba region were shocked when the nature of the Australian bush, elementary thermo dynamics and the said houses came together.
This led to a bylaw allowing the clearing of trees within a certain distance of a dwelling in NSW, which naturally led to people chopping down trees for financial advantage and enhanced aesthetics, just because they could in some cases.
Melinda Plesman and her partner Dean Kennedy lost their family home of 38 years when bushfires tore through Nymboida
The Greens’ policy agenda…surprise, surprise!
She wants the prime minister to set a price on carbon, phase out native forest logging, immediately shift Australia towards renewables and stop mining coal.
If you really want to stop the bushfires, lady, call for a phase out of native forests!
you’d never think we had bushfires in Australia prior to 2000.

Margaret Court debate gets heated on live TV

For the record, 8th Danielle of the muffin top, pigtails and emo makeup’s link is to a handful of punters from Brisbane called Wildlife Friendly Fencing. Their stated aim is to save the lives of bats, so that’s strike one.
Strikes two and three are their most recent research (1993) and the nationwide campaign to cover the top strands of fences with thin poly pipe, which sorta negates the point of having barbed wire in the first place.
Naturally, fences are also apparently responsible for animal deaths caused by uncontainable fires, which are in turn caused by climate change.
Get this. Their solution is for farmers to dig tunnels at the base of fences so animals can get through. I am not kidding.
They’re a cheery lot though. You can support them by buying their cat stickers. No mention of ‘devil’s rope’ though.
World-class, ocean-going floggery.
May I say that based of first hand observation of the people of Nymboida, there are a lot of handy people up there and know what to do to save life and property.
There is also the minority who couldn’t find their own arse with 2 hands, a mirror and a bright light.
Same as everywhere.
It is also steep in parts, and surrounded by forest.
The bloke who is pencilled in to do the beach shack revitalisation is one of the most can do people I have known, based on an over 30 year relationship.
He has been evacuated from his home in a different location for 2 weeks or so.
As he said in conversation, what can you do when it happens.
For doggie fans, and anyone who enjoys watching how animals learn how to have fun:
Credlin and that shanahan bloke agreeing you can never be sure a RoP terrorist will recant and therefore they should never be released. Baby steps; in a year or 2’s time after a few more RoP festivities I’m sure they’ll go to the next level and appreciate you can’t have any RoP members running around. Of course by then it’ll be far too late.
Reminds me of watching cockies stripping the rubber seals off freeway lights to just the point where they would hold their weight, and then swinging gleefully off them. A bizarre and wondrous sight at 3am on the way home from a night out.

Nymboida is full of these deluded dickheads.
This does not mean they’re not competent in all cases, and I must say I have been optimistically surprised by the good stuff a lot of them have.
They are irrational when given time to think.
There is no scope in their thinking that they could be wrong, and from a professional standpoint I think that is always a problem.
In spite of this, credit where it is due for those of them that know stuff.
As it should be, the majority of us will carry them, and have shit put on us for it.

I’m so old I can remember when liberals and progressives decried those who sought to impose their morality on others (or so they thought).
Now liberals and progressives are those very people – you will support homosexuality or we will hound you from the public square.
So Fitz knows this? Despite a book older than 1,900 years which says otherwise. And another book about 1,300 years old saying approximately the same thing. Which means something like four billion people more or less agree that unrepentant gays are going to hell.
But Fitz categorically says they won’t, without any reasoning except his own says so. And Margaret Court and Israel Folau are nuts despite being two of those four billion. Okaaay.

Australia could easily dominate world olive production, simply by replacing worthless bushfire prone scrubland with nice plantation trees. Olive trees can burn but they are reluctant to do so, and won’t give you the lethal fires we get today. They are drought tolerant, even if you give them nothing at all they will at least survive although you won’t get much of a crop. They can also withstand occasional floods.
We could have jobs, foreign dollars coming in the door, the vegans and animal rights wowsers can’t complain, and it’s completely sustainable with trees that are productive for many hundreds of years.
Once the trees are properly established you can use the same land for small animals like free range chickens, etc.
Homosexuals, of course, can’t quite plainly, naturally reproduce.
Numbers, the report on Seven just now included a video Folau made in the last day or so that he “share[s] passages from the Bible as a gesture of love”. I agree. It is a loving thing to alert someone that they are in great peril of going to hell. How else will they know that?

Actually won a spirited debate this morning with a climate change enthusiast.
Points hammered home into his head:
1) people want real evidence, not projected or imagined. Fort Denison and Bondi Beach photos, for example, show no sea level rise
2) repeated falsehoods shown to be untrue have destroyed the climate change fanbase argument; eg: the Barrier Reef is clearly not dying. Nor has the human population died off as predicted in the 1970s; oil disappeared, etc. So the “we’re all doomed” card is not an ace but a three.
3) people are sick of high electricity prices and want them to decrease
4) China and India apparently can do as they like on “emissions” so why should we sacrifice our economy for nothing
and finally and most tellingly
5) do we really think we can control the climate, when all through Earth’s existence it has changed radically, massively, and irreversibly?

Let me stress I do not know if these reports are true and I’m not suggesting they are, and I’m not biased against Christensen. I’m happy to state now if there are no photos — especially in this age of ubiquitous camera-equipped phones and CCTV everywhere — he is in the clear.
But, as I said earlier, if photos do emerge of George Christensen in Ponytails, people are going to ask some questions — like, what happens in a place like that?
Well, a quick Google search turned up this up ‘information resource’ on Ponytails:
A lot will depend of what people make of the “barfine, or early work release,” and what that might lead to.
More worryingly, this was the second ‘review’, if you can call them that, Google returned about the venue. Suffice to say, the first one could not be quoted from on family-friendly blog such as this!
It would lead to nothing. George is too fat to have sex even with himself.
Doing well there JC…
So saying that it’s not necessarily true that “Gays will all go to hell” is supporting homosexuality?
Now there’s a non sequitur.
LOL.
George is a bisexual.
If you can’t get it at home (homosexual) you gotta go out n buy it.
How much time did they spend volunteering at the local RFS? Clearing the area around their property? Getting up on the roof and going through the gutters? Stick picking in winter and racking up everything down to a small twig.

Government MP George Christensen’s extensive travel to south-east Asia under fresh scrutiny
So he met and married a lady who might or might not have been a bar girl. So what? She appears to be a Christian like he is. Christians are forgiven not sinless.
So he spends a couple months or so in the Philippines each year with his wife. So what? I suspect she doesn’t have Australian residency yet. And her family are in the Philippines. What else would anyone expect?
I very much doubt he is travelling at Australian taxpayer expense or you’d be hearing the outrage on Mars. So he’s spending his own money. Sounds fine to me.
This whole thing smells like a typical lefty MSM hit job.
Recalling the day the Jack Russell took off after a wallaby in the Wombat State Forest. Spent hours doing the rounds looking for the little bastard. Firstly, I was amazed at the number of houses hiding in that patch of timber and secondly, how vulnerable the majority of them would be to a fire encouraged by a manic summer northerly gale. Global warming will not be part of the equation.
This whole thing smells like a typical lefty MSM hit job.

I live in an area prone to bushfires – we lost a house ten years ago. I’m surprised at how few precautions some people take, and how many fuckwits have no idea what the words “total fire ban” mean.

Aileen Moreton-Robinson was on ABC RN yesterday – not really worth listening to, except for the scare factor that she is an academic preaching such rubbish – she bangs on about whiteness (how she managed to graduate in the first place a mystery) – what is funny is one of the comments on the ABC page by steve skinner and a reply below that, by Hamish, which I think is what Numbers uses on the ABC:
steve skinner :
01 Dec 2019 9:59:38pm
Distinguished Professor of Indigenous Research Aileen Moreton-Robinson as a student found it difficult to deconstruct then categorize, as required by her university course. As a result she has come to believe that Western culture cannot grasp complexity. A false belief as Western culture obviously does.
It discovered the links between all living things through the discovery of DNA and created the Science of Ecology. It also discovered the links between life as it is now and the life of the remote past, in the Sciences of Paleontology and Geology. These areas of knowledge, and many others such as Chemistry, Physics and Astronomy have been connected successfully in Western culture by Mathematics.
There is even a word in Western culture for the belief that the parts of something are intimately interconnected and explicable only by reference to the whole. Holistic.
That someone who is a research professor does not know this doesn’t surprise me. We live in a decadent age.
She claims white people do not know they are white, in fact they are very well aware of it. It is thrown in their face continuously by the media and leftist academics. What she cannot grasp is the ability to see beyond race. To be a member of the Australian nation state and share in it’s commonwealth has no religious, gender, age or race requirement.
That she could talk to people who she identified as white, presumably because of their skin colour, and then discover they didn’t know anything about their own culture, such as all the history, arts, sciences and philosophy created over the last two and a half thousand years is also no surprise.
In fact it is to be expected in a decadent age.

Juan – If you don’t know the story of the lady of ill repute and the jar of perfume you should look it up.
This is the message Fitzhankey didn’t hear: no Christian gives a fig if someone was gay, or a woman in a Philippines bar. They only wish for them to repent and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ.
That goes for me and you also. Although I was never a lady in a Philippines bar. (There aren’t many 190cm 100kg bar ladies in the Philippines.)

1. It’s ‘peccadillos’, not that backward flag-waving you just displayed.
2. ‘So, Bruce, how many committed Christians do you know who go into ‘bars’ with a “barfine, or early work release,” on their pricelist’
Christensen is a great big orca fat bastard, no question. Don’t know him. Probably loves a feed. But whose fucking business is it if he met his wife, who was a dancer, in a Filipino titty bar? She’s had plenty of time to fleece him since and hasn’t – which may also indicate he’s not stupid.
What about this makes him not Christian? He may have been already married at the time he met her in a titty bar – I don’t know, although that would still come under the heading of not your fucking business.
If they’re married, it would be quite fair for me to assert that they’re in love. Who are you to degrade that from a distance, based on a couple of newspaper reports that even if true go nowhere near the crux of the matter you’re getting at. We’re falling in love only in designated areas now?
Are you the Christian Police? Jesus wept tears of rage, we’ve already gone through months of punters trying to out-Catholic each other here*. Who made you the arbiter of what’s okay or not okay for Christians to do? I had twelve years of Mick education and not once do I remember Jesus said not to go in titty bars.
*Peter. PETER!
I was wrong. The Catallaxy Committee for High Moral Standards is alive and well. I will not make the same mistake again.
Media Watch as per usual attacking News Corp for publishing climate sceptic stories.
This then must be the last gasp before the WEB of nigh on three months. There’s a headline in The Oz of toe-cutters at work in the ABC. No better place to start, than on Barry’s 11 little piggies.
Re Christensen & Craig Thompson, is ole Craig still on the loose and if so has he paid all the money back?
Here’s an idea.
The forward thinkers that wrote the New Testament might just have decided that they wouldn’t put the bit in where Jesus was a massive pants man, working his way through Judea like Lord Flashheart from BlackAdder.
Don’t let human nature cloud your thinking though Juan. You just keep making notes in Juan’s Ledger of Good and Evil.
From the Oz.
Was involved in an interesting war-game amongst old comrades a week or so ago.
It was amazing how quickly a country that depends on widespread wind and solar generation can be slammed back into the dark ages by very cheap commando/j*h*d* actions.
Shaq rapping.
Awesome.

Was wondering if they had those back in old Jerusalem. Then I recalled a flagstone I saw on a footpath in the excavated part of Ephesus. Sure enough it pointed to a the local whore house, complete with an etched graphic of a purse, which indicated that such a visit would cost you. For those of prurient mien, (sorry those interested in ancient history), type Brothel Flagstone Ephesus in to Google and voila!
