“Fiscal stimulus” is the prediction that even completely wasted government spending is good for the economy.

Evidently News.com has sub contracted out its headline writing to the ABC.
With the extroadinary amount of money spent on developing and manufacturing a (likely to be ineffective) COVID Vaccine, Malaria could be wiped out, saving vastly more lives and misery. Malaria disroporionately affects the young, so ethically it is surely a more worthy target.
It could be real but I think they’re reposting stuff from OnlyFans, I cannot on google search or tin eye find the profile pics.
Sorry about the pr0n, I did not realise it was NSFW, I have seen “sensitive content” on twitter before, but never like that.

Does anyone know what Avi is doing at 9am tomorrow?
Or is this a Hannity style tick tock to nothing.
Ours is a technic civilisation. Most politicians and bureaucrats are not part of it. Indeed, they fear it and try to turn it back to a power-oriented tribal culture, with them in charge. The energy disaster, with bureaucrats determining how our power is sourced and distributed instead of engineers who actually understand the issues is an example of this. Unless we take power from the ignorant and distribute it to the informed, we are lost. And dictator dan is our future.
They have made it impossible to implement the reforms we need without bloodshed. No good options are left.

My eldest son pulled into a driveway, with a steel grid entrance to that building, to pick me up from Laser Treatment at an adjacent Eye Specialists Rooms today.
As I had been waiting for him next to the driveway I heard some bloke in a fluorescent jacket yelling. As I approached I put on my very best old ladies act (I am 80 BTW) and waved my arms in the air, and got into the car. As we drove away I asked my son why he had ignored the person yelling.
He said ‘I don’t listen if they don’t speak English’. ‘He had asked me if I was Aladdin, twice’.
Anyway, I reckon the bloke in the fluorescent was saying: ‘Are you allowed in?’
Previously there had been at this address a bay where one could pick up people from these specialist rooms and drive straight through. Now there are black steel bollards recently cemented to that area, and seating provided.
Need I say that the RoP have moved into the building next door to the Eye Specialists I have visited since the mid 1980s.
I would normally attend the specialist rooms at Castle Hill, but for surgery and laser procedures one must go to Parramatta.
I am only up writing this now as I have to put drops in my eye every hour and today is the day that all the work is done to keep open the hole done by the laser. Tomorrow drops will be q.i.d.
Lame pics.
Dr BG,
How do you think we can foil the catastrophe?

Maybe only fund decent degrees (STEM) and end the stupid bloody lockdowns? Or buy picking machinery, OR, employ locals? Or maybe the farmers can eat shit?

Imagine training a cohort of engineers per se and they can’t work or can’t move for work as required. So you send them to west booligal on unskilled labour wages and discount on their course fees.
You might “need a sign”.
I’m sure someone’s mentioned it earlier. This ‘prestigious” science magazine has endorsed Hiden for prez.
The world is going to cook itself by 2100 or as AOC says, in 10 years, but let’s not speculate that a presidential candidate is going into dementia in first gear.

What we need is an ever growing suite of government policies to counter the worst excesses of prior policies.
We really need the dead hand of the state to act like an ever growing spiral of unstable and costly impositions on society until we course correct to a bureaucracy led nirvana.

Is there a legal case against lockdowns and banning interstate travel on constitutional grounds? The HC has bravely decided to take a relevant case in November. No hurry, because it’s not urgent of course. Lord, they’re gutless swine. (It’s a miracle the HC found for Pell).
It’s never good to mix meds and alcohol dotty.
JC, this was posted on the other thread. The latest restriction and fines on “illegal” travel to Regional Vic looks legal.

At the risk of pouring a thimbleful of fact and reason into an ocean of speculation and paranoia:
1. VicPol cannot create offences. Nugent’s quote (if correct) is a very sloppy way of describing what has just happened with the new offence.
2. The new offence was created today (16 September) not by VicPol but by the Governor in Council (the Governor of Victoria acting on the formal advice of the Ministers). The Minister for Health, Jenny Mikakos, is named as the responsible minister (!) in the regulation.
3, The regulation creating the offence is the Public Health and Wellbeing Amendment (Further Infringements) Regulations 2020, under power conferred by section 232 of the Public Health and Wellbeing Act 2008.
4. The name of the new offence is, “An offence against section 203(1) of the Act constituted by a contravention of directions given under section 200(1) of the Act by refusing or failing to comply with a requirement in relation to leaving a restricted area in Victoria without a reasonable excuse or other valid reason or excuse”.
5. As has been widely reported, the penalty prescribed for the offence is stated to be 30 penalty units, equivalent to $4,956.60.
It’s heading towards an unambiguous fascist/police state now Makka. There are no words to describe the hatred I feel for the left, particularly the Victorian left and the Vic Cheka. I don’t often use the “hate” either.
I think we are already there JC. When you look at VikPol behavior and intimidation, Andrews edicts and disdain for any contrary opinions, the lockdowns, media fawning etc… if this isn’t a police state I don’t know what it is. I’ve lived in few as a foreigner, this is what it looks like. “Hate” doesn’t do justice to how I feel about the Vic left and their SA Blackshirts.

Yes, something was very iffy about those numbers given that the situation on the ground, legally, never changed from 1980 to 2016, so those numbers didn’t make sense.

That reminds me.

I should add, also, that excluding Carter’s term was exceedingly tendentious.

You would have to look at it with legislative changes in the biggest states.
But to look at nationwide per female population 15 to 44 is wrong, in the graph I posted you can see the ratio of born to aborted has a constant decline, meaning you can infer the changes in rate of reduction between presidencies has more to do with overall number of pregnancies, not a decrease in the rate at which pregnant women terminate.
The table linked by Arky.
Exactly 292 abortions in each year … 1961, 1962 and 1963.
Spooky!
Roe, Casey prevents any of the states making it illegal, and given that the largest states are mostly Dem states, well, you know the rest. The graph also is very similar to the divorce rate, massive rise post-legalization and then gradual decline but still massively above rate before legalization.

Andrew Gillum comes back to public life, starting with coming out as bisexual
Former Florida gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum isn’t the first bisexual politician in the United States. But he is certainly the most prominent Black man to come out as such, and the way he came out earlier this week — as a way of reemerging in public life following a scandal that many viewed as the likely end of his political career — could make room for more people to do so, according to LGBT advocates.
Gillum came out as bisexual Monday during his first sit-down interview since March, when police found him inebriated and unconscious in a South Beach Miami hotel room with two men. (Drugs were found at the scene, though Gillum denies he used illegal substances and was not arrested.)
To understand the lousy trick involved in posting that stupid graph, you have to see look at the births chart for the USA.
People just have more sex when there is a Republican in office.
Of course, when democrats are in, births drop, therefore, also, abortions per 1000 women 15- 44 also decline.

I’d say it there will be no change to the previous fed comments. What they said last month was pretty historic anyway.
There could be some shit coming out about banking regulations though. I’m just speculating here. Those complete fucking morons at Citigroup paid out $US900 million to a group of debt holders they were warring with over some bond issue. They actually paid out $900 million and it was a mistake.
The CEO resigned.
Goodo JC. I think the same. Nothing new until after the election.
Hey, Citibank is sending out wire transfers totalling $900 million. If any of you guys want some, just call Citibank and tell them where to wire the cashola. Fucking morons.
Just imagine the nightmare asking for this thing’s hand in marriage. Imagine repeating the vows that you’re stuck with it until death do us part.

Of course I am delighted by Trump’s initiatives to solve long standing international problems.
But, here’s the thing. The history of national leaders who catapulted themselves into the international sphere is not good. They have taken their eye off the ball at home to try to create a name for themselves in the history books.
Maybe Trump can walk and chew gum at the same time. I hope so.
But as his predecessers in the US and elsewhere have found out, the local punters don’t give a rat’s about whether he has achieved peace in Syria. Why should they?

calli, I am pulling up and spraying broadleaf weeds, but their airborne propagation is the devil.
In my tiny townhouse yard, there are dozens of them.
On another note, I am selling my shack because the arthritis is making the stairs a problem.
I called a couple of local agents yesterday to find out what they have on offer. One was polite and offered whatever I want for 1.175%. The other, a franchise of a big company, told me that it would cost a grand to tidy up the garden and deep clean the house (which is just in need of a good scrub, not at all dirty). When I said that it was ridiculous, he doubled down. I fired him on the spot.
The real estate business must have a lot of fat for creeps like him to still be employed.
When I sold the previous shack in Narrabundah, I had no idea what was involved. It was very stressful

Thanks, rickw. A musical remembrance of the fascist coup d’etat of 2020 by the government of Victoria against its people.
A year ago, I wouldn’t have thought it possible. But any monstrosity is possible when you get into bed with the communist Chinese fascists.
PS: yesterday’s edition of Tucker Carlson Tonight was extremely scary.

Barr Tells Prosecutors to Consider Charging Violent Protesters With Sedition
Attorney General William Barr told the nation’s federal prosecutors to be aggressive when charging violent demonstrators with crimes, including potentially prosecuting protesters for plotting to overthrow the U.S. government, people familiar with the conversation said.
You’ve got a bunch of people charged with destroying federal property.

Why not ensure 100% chance of failure with a sedition charge?
Seriously.
Why not due some real damage to them & use the RICO laws.

This gave us a degree of grief back in Defence back in the eighties when he was the Minister for Defence’s rep in the Senate and under clumsy but relentless questioning from Senators Valentine and Sanders over controversial aspects of defence relations with the US, including the Joint Facilities and warship visits.
We would prepare question time briefs with extreme care to give away a minimum of information but Evans, to show how smart and across the issues he was, would always add some additional clever/smartarse comment and that comment invariably gave his opponents more ammunition for further questions.
I would stress that he never, as far as I know, gave away any thing that was classified.
As for his sex life, last time I saw him – a couple of years back – he had grown a enormous and unattractive swag belly – the result, one imagines, of too many taxpayer-funded dinners. I can’t imagine him, as we used to say, pulling many birds these days with a gut like that.

Nobody’s publicly asked what the attrition rate of VicJack Inc’s been over the past six months. Horrific, will be the answer to that question (when it’s asked), and the numbers consist almost entirely of real cops being tipped over the edge by demands made of them to target average people instead of keeping society’s shit away from them.

From feelthebern’s link to the article about Bill Kelty above. What does Bill want to fix:
a critical shortage of public housing, a poorly regulated and supported aged care system and a road system built largely for the 1980s.
What obviously therefore does not need fixing?
– a police force that allows loons to kill people (in red Commodores or car of choice)
– a police force that nevertheless harasses defenceless victims incessantly
– an education system that doesn’t educate
– a “health system” that makes people sick
– a legal system that imprisons the innocent

“I am absolutely wrapped to be going back to radio,” Hildebrand told Confidential.
This is part of an email I got today from Connor Boyack who writes the ‘Tuttle Twins’ books. Worth a look, if you want to teach kids from a free market, libertarian kind of stance.
“A parent took to Twitter to share an experience she recently had:
My daughter turned around yesterday to grab her charger and her teacher immediately snapped and said she needed to be facing forward at all times. I said, “Go ahead, let the computer die!” in the background and the teacher quickly apologized. Didn’t realize I sit through every class! …
We used this series of tweets in one of our social media posts and a parent shared her opinion that, “The mass exodus of kids from government schools to unschool is an unintended consequence of media fear hype over the virus. Now there are going to be free thinking kids with an actual education who are not indoctrinated in socialist political views of liberal teachers and the establishment is terrified!”
I don’t know that I think the public-education-powers-that-be are terrified of parents choosing education freedom—they seem too arrogant for that—but I do think it’s true that parents are opting out of this en masse. …
Some schools—apparently unhappy with parents knowing what is going on in classrooms and then sharing their experiences on social media—have made parents sign forms agreeing to not monitor their kids online classes. This article is just one example of many which lay out the supposed reasoning.” …

17th September, 1944. Start of Operation Market Garden, and the battles of Arnhem/Nijmegen. Whether it was a rotten plan, doomed to failure from the start, or the best chance of forestalling the Ivans to Berlin, and ending World War Two in 1944 is still a topic of discussion among serious military historians.
It’s quite common in public places these days to see a small hut on a bench or post that acts as a book exchange. You put your unwanted books in and take out anything that interests you. Recently, I picked up a new copy of a self-help sort of book, which I normally wouldn’t do. It was called ‘A Good Death, a compassionate and practical guide to prepare for the end of life’, by Margaret Rice. It seemed unread, published in 2019, by Murdoch Press, part of Allen and Unwin, so it was Australian. When I got it home I put it in the back of a bookshelf and wondered why on earth I had picked it up, as no-one else seemed to have even opened it and I too realised I had an almost superstitious dread of expressing any interest in its topic. So there it has lingered for some months. Scroll on now, those who as I did then still wish to leave it on the shelf.
On Monday, I read it and I do recommend it to all Cats when they are ready for its information, because it is not preachy nor gloomy and it is very useful for something like I went through this last weekend as well as offering food for later thought about oneself. It is divided into two sections, Part 1 called ‘Being there for someone who is dying’, and Part two ‘When your own time comes’. The blurb on the back tells well what it is in it:
The author is a journalist and sub-editor specialising as a medical writer. The book covers a very wide field, drawing on anthropology and history in order to culturally situate death and dying. There are many personal reports of experiences companioning the dying in hospitals, nursing homes, at home, and after an accidental death showing the process and aftermath that families experienced.
Much that we do, as I have found with the dying of my mother and now my brother, is intuitive, and we should not lose that immediacy which comes from the heart. But more information is always useful. This book also contains at the conclusion a very comprehensive set of references and resources to further information one may wish to find that arises from the chapter by chapter discussions. Rice’s book is thoroughly recommended by a Professor of Intensive care at the UNSW. A black raven guides each chapter; a symbol redolent to me of a very ancient tradition.
Perfect.

Margaret Rice has a blog for those interested in discussing grief and grieving. I have checked it out.

A question for legal Cats.
Regarding the brawl and murder of the dark-skinned person here in Brisbane. Apparently, 10 persons have been arrested and all will be charged with murder and assorted other offences.
How can 10 people be charged with murder (unless each person is alleged to have knifed the victim, in succession)? Doesn’t the Crown have to show/prove who actually struck the fatal blow? Otherwise it is ‘attempted murder’ or even manslaughter progressing down into other lesser, albeit serious, offences.
(unless each person is alleged to have knifed the victim, in succession)? BTW, that reminds me of a scene in Flying High. Didn’t Agatha Christie also write a story along those lines as well?

I am a supporter of compassionate and pain-relieving support of the dying, not assisted suicide for those who decide early on they don’t want to face the end of life and which allows all sorts of pressure to be brought to bear on those who still have plenty of life left. If doctors have discretion to treat a patient for strong pain and distress once an end-of-life situation is medically and legally noted, then it is best to leave it up to individuals, their families and their medical advisers, with no special legislation required. Legislation only complicates a thousand different situations that require a thousand different ways of coping. This requires good palliative care situations which take note of a person’s Advanced Care Directives and NFR instructions as well as any current wish they may be able to indicate.
Not in Julius Caesar’s day. They all decided to share the stabbing, share the guilt.

Lizzie @ 9:49am
Thank you, again 🙂 for your writing here and elsewhere.
This book, you mention “A Good Death, a compassionate and practical guide to prepare for the end of life”, I will be purchasing multiple copies to send to the Aged Care Home where my mother survives.
From what you have described, this book will be very, very useful in really drawing to the attention of staff, what it is like to be “an outsider” trying to support the member of their family in the “Aged Care System”. Our lack of experience in this “System”, of dying within “The System” and not at home, of dying where family responsibility to their loved one is usurped by “The System”. The conflict that arises between “The System” and the family when the realization comes that “The System” has absolute total control.
It is horrendous to hear of the hundreds of families who have been unable to be there to support there loved ones as the end of their life comes closer. Yesterday’s Vic press conference a reporter asked Mikakos about a man who survived a car accident but sadly now is on life support in a Melbourne hospital. His mother was not allowed to be there with him to support him. Why not????
Lizzie, after this is all over there could be a National Memorial Service to honour all the people who died without their families.
Andrew’s keeps saying we are in a war with this virus, well soldiers, sailors and airmen are treated with more respect.
That’s my understanding, as well.
Vic cases – 28.
Deaths -8
So much for brunch.
Back to work.
Perhaps. We are now getting more centenarians than ever before, joining forces with Sardinia where for aeons by some quirk of nature 120 year olds have been known to refer to their ‘baby brother’ turning one hundred.
Life is for living, at any age. I wouldn’t like to tell my 99 year old aunt in Louisiana that she didn’t have much to live for after her birthday next June (she’d soon inform me I was wrong and I’d love to be there to hear her say so; she was driving till she was 98); also that centenarian who did the hundred times around his garden for the NHS. Nor Macbeth, our oldest contributor here (g’day Macbeth) who is heading up the lists right now and still has quite a lot to say about goings on on the Cat.
Tom’s toons: rowe should have his pens stuck up his arse. The brits are fucked but boris is an easy target because he is a complete cuck. Ramirez seems to undergoing some TDS which is a shame.
IMO, Andrews loves the daily death conference. He believes they showcase steadfastness in the face of grim disaster. The truth is they showcase a sociopath playing the role of a man being steadfast in the face of grim disaster.
I haven’t been following that particular case closely but it can be assumed that the police have discovered a plan to kill the victim to which the ten accused subscribed. There’s a similar case before the courts in Qld which the press haeve dubbed ‘the Wilsonton Nine’, where nine people have been charged with murder in regard to the stabbing death of a woman in Toowoomba. It should be noted that in Qld murder carries a mandatory life sentence.
Then again maybe he isn’t blind to it. Just getting a kick out of it.
Either way, he doesn’t truly comprehend it.

#3587851, posted on September 17, 2020 at 10:28 am
Thanks Roger.
Also just found this: (my bolding)
Murder is defined in section 302 of the Code as the wilful killing of a person either intentionally, or with reckless indifference. A person will be deemed to have killed another person if they cause the death of another either directly, or indirectly, by whatever means. A person can also be deemed to have killed another person if, by using threats or intimidation, they cause that other person to do an act which results in their death.
If a person is convicted of murder, the punishment is life imprisonment, which cannot be mitigated, or varied. An ‘indefinite sentence’ under part 10 of the Penalties and Sentences Act 1992 (Qld) may also be imposed. This means that the sentence will continue until a court discharges it and releases the person.
Clarity. Wasn’t aware of the reckless indifference. I thought intent was a constant prerequisite otherwise manslaughter.
