Now that we have brought this up, watch what happens.
My guess.
People will be found to be asking the Federal government to take over because……. Dan Andrews.
You watch the calls go out for federal intervention!
Yet the federal government is initially to blame for subcontracting out in the first place.
At least there will be accountability.
Tucker Carlson confirms your opinion cohenite. I watched the clip, with The Kenyan interspersed here and there and alas that soaring oratory so swept me off my feet, that all my prejudices were mollified, one by one, as each cadence fell from his mendacious lips.

I am happy to inform all of the people living their Suburban Lifestyle Dream that you will no longer be bothered or financially hurt by having low income housing built in your neighborhood…
LL, I am cheerful tonight, so why don’t you just fuck off & when you get there fuck off again you annoying fucker 🙂
Look at the borders one upmanship amongst the Premiers – SloMo is a leadership vacuum.
Struth, why do you respond to that fuckwit, He is as dumb as numbers & you can’t fix stupid.
Couple of classic images of the idiocy of chunk virus compliance officers and chunk virus karens:

So what if there’s a bit of the emotive in the rhetoric, sad sack.
What Explains Why Homicides Are Increasing Significantly Across the Country Since Late May?
A “Minneapolis effect” from lack of policing is a possible explanation for the startling 37% increase in murders in major cities in recent weeks.
This one
My ex-police colleagues have given up trying to stop black youths carrying guns and knives because it puts their careers at risk
Kevin Hurley is a British politician and former police officer. He was the Surrey Police and Crime Commissioner between 2012 and 2016. He served in the Metropolitan Police, reaching the rank of Detective Chief Superintendent. He was also an officer of the Territorial Army, first in the Parachute Regiment and then the Royal Military Police.
Young black men are 25 times more likely to be murdered, yet any initiative to try to discuss why this is, or to use software to identify whether different ethnic groups “specialise” in particular types of crime, is deemed taboo.
Most pollies are money corrupt, they enrich themselves while holding office by selling out the interests of the punters. Buma is money corrupt; he had the arse out of his pants when he became Potus and when he left he paid $35 mill cash for one of the best waterside houses in Martha’s Vineyard.
But buma is also ideologically corrupt; he politicised every bureaucracy in the US and tried to bring down his successor. He leaves every other crooked Potus for dead. In a just world this bastard would be shot at dawn for treason. Not that I’m advocating violence.
I see Ted’s back, gracing the pages of the Cat with his wit and intellectual acumen. When not picking bananas he’s the smartest guy in the room.
Another shiny arse witty intelligent post.
How many poor people you stolen money from today you sick fucker?
Dem pollies defunding police, charging them with crimes, telling them to stand down, letting BLM and Antifa burn anything combustible, rejecting Federal law enforcement and suing Trump for sending them. Golly, I have no idea why homicides are up. It’s a mystery.
There’s no need to enforce. It’s a reversal of the Kenyan’s executive order requiring low income housing built in the burbs. It’s actually pretty masterful as the timing is perfect with the soccer mums in the burbs. Anytime before, it would have been considered wacist. It possibly still is, but no one gives a rats.. at least those in the sticks.

I guess a sizable proportion of Viccos aren’t sheeple after all:
‘Despite soaring daily increases of new cases, dozens of new deaths and no end in sight to this ongoing crisis, Victorians aren’t listening.
‘In direct defiance of not only the Premier’s plea, but the law, a quarter of COVID-positive Victorians this week refused to self-isolate.’
Imagine if they all wrote letters.

Have you noticed that it’s all the same prime movers behind the past media saturation regarding “climate change” and the present media flooding about “coronavirus”?
The UN-IPCC for climate and the UN-WHO for covid-19.
The tech giants banning messages supporting valid treatments.
The US Democrats and their left-wing fellow travellers.
All Australian political parties, including your husband’s.
Why?
None of the climate change predictions have come to pass in 40 years.
There’s a new coronavirus or two every year.
The same people are dying of covid-19 that would have died of whatever flu came around.
Is that really worth destroying our economy for?
Will we do it again next year?
What’s really driving it?
The US President and independent doctors have stated clearly there is a treatment for covid-19.
HCQ + azithromycin + zinc.
But Google et. al. block that news.
Which is causing people to die unnecessarily.
Australians are dying unnecessarily of a treatable disease.
What would you call that?
Are our politicians and bureaucrats accessories to that?
There is no cure.
“Elimination” isn’t possible, the coronavirus will inevitably spread.
“Elimination” is mission creep with an impossible objective.
The only thing we had to do was “flatten the curve”.
The curve is flat.
To achieve that we only had to close the international border.
There’s all the same language, too.
Apparently I’m a “covid denier” for asking on-target questions, ffs…
The “pandemic” is more political than medical.
Why?
If Biden wins in November, covid-19 will disappear like smoke on the water.
If Trump wins it will be lockdowns forever.
Where are you in the overall scheme of things, Peta?
Are you part of the solution or part of the problem?

Hi Alan
What if it turns out that COVID-19 is not as bad as first thought?
What if our medical bureaucrats over-reacted?
What if the death toll from lockdown suicides and delayed medical attention to other ailments was higher than from COVID-19?
Will our nation’s journalists experience guilt for publishing only the official position and for not conducting their own investigative journalistic enquiries?
Apologies, bundy. Yes. I couldn’t work out who JC was talking to for the past week or so.
Duh. Now I’ll never be a brain scientitian.
Nobody has yet produced the average fatality rate in an average year for one State’s aged care facilities, and then overlaid that on this year’s BatFlu ‘stats’ for the same facilities in the same State.
Why is that?

On the constitutional questions letters, I’ve had three more replies (with Katinka from Larissa Waters office having been the first).
Malcom Roberts staffer says….
—
Your questions do not really lend themselves to yes or no answers.
I will attempt to answer them, though briefly.
As this Office is not extensively resourced, I suggest that from now on questions of this nature be best addressed elsewhere as we do not offer a dedicated research service.
These answers are not to be considered legal advice and should not be relied on for that purpose.
Q 1.
The Australian Constitution is a significant document that sets out the powers and jurisdictions of the Commonwealth and some of those jurisdictions shared with the States.
Q 2.
The Constitution is interpreted by the High Court from time to time and the Court has recognised there may be some exceptional circumstances when strict law interpretations are not appropriate. One such circumstance has included the application of public health management needs.
Q 3.
If a State law or Commonwealth law is inconsistent with the Constitution it is considered unconstitutional and considered invalid. It does not need to rely on s109. If a valid State law is created and that law is inconsistent with a valid Commonwealth law, under s109 the State law is invalid to the extent of any inconsistency with the Commonwealth law.
Q 4.
The Quarantine as mentioned in s 51 (ix) refers to our external borders.
Q 5.
S 117 has been interpreted by the High Court to be subject to the public health exception.
Q 6.
This is a question better directed to the Federal Government. The High Court may consider this in the upcoming Palmer case.
Q 7.
Sedition involves acts designed to incite civil unrest or to rebel against the government or to bring down the government.
Kind Regards

Rodrigo Duterte: ‘I’m not joking – clean masks with petrol’
What did Mr Duterte say?
Referring to his earlier comments, Mr Duterte said: “They [critics] said, ‘Duterte’s insane.’ Stupid! If I’m insane, you should be the president, not me.
“What I’ve said was true. If alcohol isn’t available, especially for the poor, just go to a gasoline station, and use [gas] to disinfect.
“I am not joking. I am not joking. You… you try to get inside my brain.”
Yup KD, I am the infamous Ted according to the Wall street thief, fuck knows where ted comes from but his addled brain seems to like it.

G’day Senator XXXX
Please thank your staff for replying to my email of 24/07/2020 in which I asked seven questions about the Australian Constitution, the correct answers to which should be obvious to all Senators.
I am deeply saddened and disturbed that this appears not to be the case.
My first and second questions, at the very least, should have prompted a simple “yes” and “no” respectively – before the next five questions were attempted.
To refresh our memories, these are my first and second questions.
Q1. Is the Australian Constitution our nation’s overarching legal document; yes or no?
That is not a request for legal advice; it’s a reminder to someone that sits as a Senator that yes, the Australian Constitution is our nation’s overarching legal document.
Q2. Are there circumstances where the Australian Constitution can be ignored; yes or no?
Again, this is not a request for legal advice but a reminder that the Australian Constitution cannot be ignored.
How on this ever-greener Earth can a federal Senator not know those two answers reflexively and respond to them automatically?
See why I’m deeply saddened?
Let’s put the other five questions on hold for a moment and, please, have the courage to be publicly remembered for your responses to questions one and two, Senator.
Kentucky Fried Chicken has confirmed it’s running low on chicken in Victoria.
The fast food chain told 3AW Drive it was suffering a shortage in supply due to a COVID-19 outbreak at a food distribution plant.

Some may even close for the weekend.

Kentucky Fried Chicken uses chicken?
Who knew?
Okay. My assessment of Eve Black, Sovereign Citizen script-reader and dumb as fuck camera whore may be, as they say, ‘subject to review’ (the Hun):
‘COVIDiot, ecowarrior, antivirus conspiracist. Eve Black attracts a lot of labels. The cackling covid-sceptic also includes topless waitress and dancer in her resume. We have unmasked several of Black’s other exotic tricks, but they are too rude, even for this column.
‘Black was dramatically arrested in Melbourne this week, with police smashing her car window when she refused to provide them with her details or step out of the car.
‘It was Black’s second clash with the PoPo. Last week she sparked national outrage after uploading a confrontation with officers at a lockdown checkpoint.
‘Eve, stage name Eden, has Melbourne in a spin. Burning rubber would be more like it. One happy punter was more than willing to give a review. “Of all the toppys we’ve had to the house in between lockdowns, Eden was the best.”’
‘For all the innocents out there, we’ve discovered a “toppy” is Melburnian slang for a topless waitress and quite the sought after entertainment following a boy’s night out at the pub*. Or a night in because of COVID.
But it was Black’s performance at the notorious Purr party last October that still has the guests swinging. Again, for the wide-eyed souls out there, Melbourne’s “Purr” parties have been in operation for around 16 years, catering to the city’s couple swapping swingers. Think kinky patrons decked out in fancy dress, electronic music and anything goes, like “anything.”
‘Last October was the aptly themed Good and Evil knees-up. Eden, aka Eve Black, was booked to play the role of the Angel for the headline performance. But dancers said organisers felt she was better suited to play the devil, which she did with gusto. They bumped and grinded to Nine Inch Nails, a song title again too rude to reveal.
‘Different strokes, for different folks. We are told even the Melbourne covid sceptics are finding her a little too much of late.
‘Black is well known as raging against the machine. Voicing her opinions on everything from Trump to vegan shaming on social media. No one seems surprised at Black showboating and uploading her video to gain attention.
‘But they say she was crying about it later, posting she had lost three kilos and was feeling a little overwhelmed by her unmasking. A mask is not the only accessory Black feels comfortable taking off.’
Yay, Eve! Dumb as a houseplant confirmed – a 9 on the hot/thick as shit matrix. No wonder she’s targeted by various young men eager to impress in exchange of a favour or seven.
That’ll do, Eve/Eden. That’ll do.
*Melburnian. Hardly. They probably think they invented coffee as well.
I love hearing things like this, imagining the muttering of the champagne classes about bogans and the need for an obesity tax.
When Eve didn’t lower her window, why didn’t the cops just let her go & then send her the ticket in the mail?
Was there a need for a confrontation ?
Vegan shaming. Like it’s a bad thing ?
Does KFC do that hot’n’spicy ?
Still not a patch on a Bondi burger from Oporto.
Bern, did you know that Oporto started from a small shop at the Nth Bondi bus terminus ?
Purr is epic.

Q 4.
The Quarantine as mentioned in s 51 (ix) refers to our external borders.

Not if the states invite the feds in: (xxxvii) & (xxxviii).
Sure did Nick.

That’s a quite a bit of tacticalness you’ve been up to.
Where there are serious matters of constitutional law involved, the High Court expects that the Federal Government will be part of the proceedings in order to explain its perspectives on important matters of constitutional law.”
Sp private citizens are told to seek independent legal advice about constitutional matters while the Federal Government actually has views on constitutional matters?
No Australian government ever accepts that there might be limits to its powers.
I said I’ve been busy !
I didn’t know that.
I do though remember the original store
Ahahahahaha.
I’ve come to believe that it is NOT possible to buy a decent chook.
The quality bought roast chicken eludes us.
If you’re not eating at least 4 kilos of meat/week, you might as well be a vegan.
And why exactly would there be an chicken shortage?
‘When Eve didn’t lower her window, why didn’t the cops just let her go & then send her the ticket in the mail?’
Depends on the offences, according to the matchbox back I just read. If her licence is suspended, or she doesn’t have one then the jacks let her continue to commit the offence if they let her drive off, and wear the risk if she spangs into something/one.
Plus, given her occupation she may well have had stuff in the car she shouldn’t have. The ‘traffic, covid breaches and other offences’ might be a hint.
The old ‘just go to her house later’ chestnut works in little towns where you actually know where people live. Unbelievably, and this may shock some, but tens of thousands of people in a place like Melbourne don’t actually live at the place written on their licence.
Watch the Bombers. Oh..

Okay, let go with 3.5 kilos. The average meal weighs, what 250 grams. There are 21 main meals a week including breakfast ( hate the sound of that word). You’re suggesting eating meat 14/21 times (70%) a week. I think you’re over doing the meat, head case.

You’re not eating enough.
A porterhouse should weigh around 300g, you’ll have at least one of those every day, eggs are 60g, 5 of those is 300g, there’s 100g of cream in an Americano, you’ll feel like eating chicken at least once a week, there’s another 1.5kg, that camembert i just ate was 200g, 4 of them is an average week.
You’ve just got to keep eating rich food to fight against the evil of carbs.

I got a VPN so I could watch the footy via Foxtel (only available on Oz IP addresses) in frogland. It worked the first time I was there but earlier this year I returned and Foxtel had blocked the VPN. Something about advertising I believe.

Ignoring the violence, running booze during Prohibition must have been hugely profitable. What a great business. Margins must have been enormous.
Which get me thinking. If the US could impose something as mad crazy as Prohibition we shouldn’t totally discount the idea they could try on Demonrat socialism.

A book on child rearing which advocates spanking might be considered “child abuse material” by some lunatics.

I haven’t. I was thinking about it the other night, but wifey refuses to watch violent stuff.. and it’s not European. If I watch another frog movie, I’m going to crack the screen. Subtitles are annoying.
She likes Northern European police series, but the plot is always the same boring stuff with those fuckers.

Prohibition? Read up on John Brown of Harpers Ferry infamy. Then look at Portland etc and wonder if John Brown’s spawn aren’t a significant cultural undercurrent running thru generations of US history.
They still can’t make up their minds if John Brown was a devil or a saint.
You can draw a line of historical provenance from John Brown to the 1960s (well I reckon I can), and Prohibition is just a stop along the way.
Line of duty.

Not bad.
What a great appointment. He would have known where all the skeletons were. The rumor was that he was a big short in the crash of 29 and made a bundle from that too. Great man. 🙂

Why is it morally wrong to stir up hatred?

Is there anything possibly faker than this fakeness
In the show’s opener, reporter Chana Joffe-Walt shares a situation she has been dealing with herself with her own small children: religion. Chana is Joowish, but her 3-year-old son (who has picked up on some religious terminology) is making her uncomfortable, to say the least, with some of his comments of late. She shares one particular recording that she made of an adorably hilarious (and, yes, a tiny bit heartbreaking) conversation the two had during bath time.
First, she sets up the scene. Her son, Jacob, is playing “restaurant” and is giving out cups and little animals to customers — but only, he explains, to Christian customers.
Jacob: Is your family Christian?
Chana: No
Jacob: Is your mom or your dad Christian?
Chana: No
Jacob: Is your brother or your sister Christian?
Chana: No. They’re all Joowish.
[Jacob snatches the animal and says, “Sorry.”]
Chana: Wait, I can’t have an animal unless I’m Christian?
Jacob: You can’t have that duck, sorry.
Chana: Why can’t I have the duck?
Jacob: Because you aren’t Christian.
Chana, to us, the listeners: “No Joowish allowed, says my three-and-a-half-year-old, to my Joowish face.”
Chana: That makes me feel sad, though, sweetie.
Jacob: In this restaurant, that’s what the rules are.
Chana: That’s not kind, though.
Jacob: Yeah, but that’s what the rules are in this restaurant
Chana: Well, there are so many rules in this anti-S3mitic restaurant…”
The conversation is really very charming in its peculiarity. But Chana is clear about the fact that she’s not sure how to handle this situation, what she should do, what she should say — or whether she should say anything at all. He is, after all, only a toddler.
I think I know what I would do if I were Chana. Do you? What would it be?
Dot, I think we missed the evacuation.
How can by his happen?
Much more ticker tonight from the Broncs, CL. No mature heads on board to help them home.
Makka, true.
But I don’t think there’s any defence against that banana kick try.
‘Dot, I think we missed the evacuation.’
Geez. You have a quick bark on another thread and that’s it.
Anyway, the Electric Blanket Express Post Regiment hop the bags at dawn. Which for them is between 0400 and 1000 hours, AEST.
After the special socks go on. Sometimes with help.
That’s true CL but they didn’t shut the game down earlier. If they had a Smith or Lockyer on the team they would have locked it up when they were 8 points ahead. I’m really pleased they fought it out, especially that 26 tackle stretch on their line. Staggs played a blinder.
Btw, Flixtor is light years better than Netflix and I believe cheaper. Zillions of choices. Web based but with webcast you can cast to your smart TV.

If you overload a donkey that carries society, beating it with a whip after its legs give way won’t get you anywhere.
I had a married friend with three kids, with a good wife say to me the other week: “if I was single and unmarried I (he) would be MGTOW – it’s sad but true, they’re right about most things”
Most men want to get married but why would you now?

Some chat upthread about movies.
I just watched “Executive Decision”. Great action movie although it borrows much from previous movies involving passenger aircraft hijacked by terrorists. Still seat of your pants entertainment.
Stars Kurt Russel and Hale Berry, with an extended supporting role by Steven Seagal
Earlier in the week I watched “Double Jeopardy”. Also a good movie, with Tommy Lee Jones playing more or less the part he plays in all his movies, only he’s not a U.S. Marshal, and the escapee is a girl, not a guy.
Both on Netflix and elsewhere.
JC after Rome we’re still doing Netflix’s selected dramatised sequences with historical commentary – called Roman Empire, Empire of Blood. We are now up to Caligula, after the series on Comodus and then one on Julius Caesar (Caesar rather miscast in terms of appearance but Brutus is well played). The series skips Augustus and skims Tiberius to explain the stressors on Caligula which emerge during his reign as madness.
Watch and brush up on your history.
How does one find a wife in Victoria right now?
Remember Dan banned rooting a non live in girlfriend a few months back.
Great society we’ve got here fellas. Old people can’t die and young people can’t meet their spouse.
I’m also puzzled how you can be an incel and a cuck…at the same time unless you’re a) married or b) are a degenerate with an OnlyFans membership.
Norsemen now done and dusted for us, watched all 3 series. Episodes only half hour each, six to each series.
If you enjoy a wicked spoof then Norsemen is your show. Some may not get this sort of humor. Too bad. If you do engage with it (give it at least two episodes) then it is fun, till the joke wears a bit thin in the final series where they have to use flashbacks to keep it moving.
Thanks, Steve.

I am going to a girl’s lunch tomorrow wearing the dreaded black surgical boot. DVT in my leg means I can’t get any of my shoes, even my Canadian snow boots, to fit me on the bad leg.
