Liberty Quote
The Keynesian story would lead one to expect a recovery to consist of workers returning to the jobs that they held prior to the recession. That is not what happened after the Great Depression. It is not what has happened in recent recessions in the U.S., particularly the one that ended in 2009.

Winning isn’t everything, Gilas. Out participation ribbons are waiting.
Daniel Andrew’s apology for laws against homosexuality makes for interesting reading. It’s as if he’s talking about the police state he’s created.
“I suppose it’s rare when you can’t even begin to conceive what was on the minds of our forebears in this Place. But I look back at those statutes and I am dumbfounded. I can’t possibly explain why we made these laws, and clung to them, and fought for them.”
“I can inform the house that six men have now successfully applied to expunge these convictions from their record. Many more have commenced the process. This won’t erase the injustice, but it is an accurate statement of what I believe today: … that these convictions should never have happened … … that the charges will be deleted, as if they never existed …… and that their subjects can call themselves, once again, law-abiding men.
“Expungement is one thing, but these victims won’t find their salvation in this alone.”
This parliament and this government are to be formally held to account for designing a culture of darkness and shame. And those who faced its sanction, and lived in fear, are to be formally recognised for their relentless pursuit of freedom and love. It all started here. It will end here, too.
To our knowledge, no jurisdiction in the world has ever offered a full and formal apology for laws like these. So please, let these words rest forever in our records: On behalf of the parliament, the government and the people of Victoria …For the laws we passed. And the lives we ruined. And the standards we set.… we are so sorry … humbly, deeply, sorry.”
Clearly there is a party happening on the old fred. They clearly prefer the louche and disreputable ambience there rather than the clean and shiny Monday model.
We shall endure until they realise what they are missing.

I think the 13 people that show up have the choice of either sitting in the car listening to Hiden trying to rattle off from an oversized teleprompter or getting out of their cars then standing in huge marked circles listening to Hiden rattle off from an oversized teleprompter. It’s about choice.
From what I have seen of Daniel Andrews I am concerned that he has intellectual deficits — he’s the Chauncey Gardiner of the Garden State
Chauncey Gardiner was a benign non-entity.

Apparently at the order of Gerry Ryan they will no longer attend any caravan show unless it’s free (for their site space) *
I think the punters will judge this badly because surely if you were in the market for a caravan you’d have a reasonable expectation that the nation’s biggest brand would be on show.
I’m afraid at this stage I’ve been unable to fully reconcile why they came to this conclusion.
*the caravan industry association has already leased their traditional site at WA’s biggest show. Jayco normally sell around 200 at this particular show.

Astute observation. The Dems and the MSM have stopped talking about the Wall. They’d only do that if the focus groups and the polls said the Wall was popular. Which it is, especially amongst legal Hispanic Americans.
I wouldn’t call it cynical Tel.
Pretty disgusting to suggest president of France would orchestrate decapitation of school teacher for political capital.
There was an attack at Charlie Henson a couple of weeks ago and in total 22 terrorist attacks in France since 2017 with a total of 21 deaths and 73 injuries including that of hero police officer Arnaud Beltrame in 2018.

No Tel but we’ll see what Macron does….they talk the talk but they rarely walk the walk…especially when it commes to dealing with Islaaam…the fundamental problem in France, the UK, Belgian and other European countries is that they have simply allowed too many adherents of this religion into their countries.

Cassie and Tel, I am hopeful that Macron may “grow” in office.
Go Peta Credlin. Lining up the dots on Unified.
Finishing piece goes on to mention potential corruption of government contracts with PPE.
Back in February, friend of mine had access to PPE, fully accredited. Rang Vic Government approx 10 times a day for 2 weeks to provide at cost plus 10%. Could not get past the front desk. Vic Government did not want to know. MSM was going full hysteria on the crisis we had to have. Vic Government going full retard.
At the same time a number of construction companies were reaching out for PPE. My friend was confident of getting a small deal with a worldwide shortage of PPE in full bloom. ….Then nothing. All quiet. A day later advised his PPE would not be needed by construction. vic government front desk apologised and said they could get no response from above.
All PPE for vic construction was routed thru one contractor. Owned by someone sounding like Nik Ratto.
Now Credlin appears to be linking Unified to the same connections.
Keep digging PETA, the bodies are close.
Jacinda Ardern stated in one of her speeches “Let’s get moving”. She left out “to Australia”.

Free Mannington Bradley!!!
More than 1000 students sitting their Higher School Certificate exams on Tuesday are not expected to be able to read their exam papers unassisted, with the number of functionally illiterate students almost doubling in the last three years.
So in NSW you can be a functionally illiterate high school graduate?
Across school sectors, 14.3 per cent of private school students enrolled to complete the HSC last year had applied for disability provisions compared to just 8.5 per cent of public school children and 11 per cent of pupils in Catholic schools.
Private schools were slightly more likely to have their disability provision requests rejected, with 114 private school students having their applications denied while 834 were only partially approved.
At schools and in tertiary education, if you apply for and get any sort of “special consideration” it should be permanently included on your record. You’re always at liberty to explain to a prospective employer what it was about.
A NSW law lecturer told me that in his law school it’s just routine for students to apply for special consideration every year. Things like “anxiety” are common. I think an employer ought to know if someone has got a degree on the basis that every set of exams they did was judged leniently because they got “anxious”. That would be useful information if the person was applying for a job in an area where tight deadlines were common.
Seriously, look at the first few photos in that strange ABC article Arma posted.
It’s a completely fake campaign.

I recall evidence in the Trade Union Royal Commisdion that indicated all CFMEU clothing was sold through a company that benefited Setka and his leadership team but not the Union directly. With so many members that would be a fairly lucrative gig.
Then there was the charity fund raiser to benefit some sort of camp for trouble kids. The money made on the dinner from the tickets did not actually go to the charity as some might think but to CFMMEU funds. It was only the auction items money that went to the charity. A nice little earner that promoted their god deeds but when you looked closer not so much money went to the charity after all.

World champion, John Ward and something shady about Joe’s niece.
Meant to enlarge on these before hitting post. Death of a parent of sibling is absolutely soul-destroying for a teenager but so can be the death of a grandparent with whom they had a close relationship. This was the case of my granddaughter when my husband died, we both had/have a very close relationship with her and she was absolutely crushed when he died just before the HSC exams though she valiantly carried on. I think it did affect her results but she did not make a fuss.
From memory you were posting pompous prognostications about Pell at the time.
Possibly hinting that the High Court erred?
apparently Credlin is getting leaked email from DHHS. Tomorrow could be interesting.
I’ve seen other instances of DanAn sociopathy, but these two quotes today (I haven’t verified them, but they come from DanAnFans online), taken together, are further evidence:
“I haven’t played politics during this crisis, I didn’t during the bushfires and believe me I could have, but I did not, because I don’t believe that is appropriate, so Josh Frydenberg can make all the comments he wants .. but I will be calling them out”
and
“It’s all about the politics with this bloke. He’s not a leader, he’s just a Liberal.”
Really, the second one alone is enough. It’s as if he said: I’m not going to play politics like those dirty rotten Liberals do time and again, day in day out, because I’m above that.

The only exception I can think of was Faulty’s “collecting RMIT names and addresses” and “regards to the wife and kids” thing from a few weeks ago.
That was, of course, different because it was directed at someone whose identity is known.
Nope. Your memory has let you down badly.
Lol
Trump down to $2.30 on SportsBet.
You realise don’t you, cohenite, that the director of education in NSW is Mark Scott, formerly of the ABC and hopeless case of Stockholm Syndrome to his sociopath Stalinst pervert captors there? I assume he has just transferred his Stockholm Syndrome to the sociopath Stalinst pervert captors in the public-sector teachers’union.

Depends on definition of “graduate”. They may do their HSC exams, but unless they pass the minimum standards test they wont’t get the HSC, but only a Record of School Achievement instead.
You did provide some armchair character assessments of Cardinal Pell though, your slip very much on display.
Tell me.
You remember it well.
What preceded it?
I’d rather not speak ill of the dead but …………!

They would get the VCE here in Victoria, though, wouldn’t they? That was my understanding: that no one ever fails the VCE.
Character assessments is one way of putting it.
Back to goat herding then.
Scott tweeted, while head of the NSW department of education, a tribute to Richard Neville as a great humanist thinker. Neville who gloated in print about his hurricane f*** of a cherubic fourteen year old girl whom he picked up in her uniform outside the gates of a London school. Neville who gave a trio of p3derasts the ABC airwaves to celebrate and promote their lifestyle. I wonder what the parents of NSW would think if they knew that.
Good on Credlin, she appears to have given the disgruntled a home to go to.
According to the polls Queensland is over and done. Palacechook is going to win. I suppose I will just have to go to Fiji for holidays.

Yep…and this same Mark Scott is on the board of Knox Grammar…a school noted for its unsavoury sexual
abuse scandals.
He just can’t understand why? I don’t doubt. He lacks the capacity of sympathetically understanding his opponent’s arguments even for a moment.
You gotta laugh. Demons went for postal voting bigly to help get more votes and make cheating much easier. They didn’t bank of the fact that most of their constituency can’t fill in a fucking form correctly without screwing it up So the canceled votes may just equal electoral fraud and it was all for nought.
The Democrats can’t possibly say they knew nothing about the Bidens dealings. It was all laid out in front of them in great detail. Strangely enough, it was at the Trump impeachment proceedings that this occurred…..

Whaitje betting on Credlin being raised and arrested before tomorrow’s presser?
I read similar story about Algerian woman in France getting boot for refusing to shake hands with male officials.
Seems like they set that final hurdle quite purposely..

Scotty gets a free pass…..imagine if a conservative had tweeted a tribute to someone like Neville….he or she would be cancelled. The double standards are eternal.
Mark Scott was appointed by the turd Mike Baird…he of the greyhound ban.
AFP to raid Credlin.
I’m afraid you’re well off the mark, Tinta.
The thing I have found most disconcerting about Dickhead Dan of late is his involuntary smirking at highly inappropriate moments.
It wasn’t much of a threat, I concede. You wrote that you were going to go for me in a way that would make your comments on my time in Cuba look mild in comparison. I can’t say the prospect had much effect. You can be mildly amusing sometimes, which I appreciate. You do go on a bit though. Doomlord has asked you to stop squabbling with Struth, but you seem to be too full of snide snark to comply. I find it tedious.
You also pick on Egg in a rather petty way, but he’s quite capable of defending himself so I shan’t bother to comment on that beyond saying that it’s also tedious.
Good lord this guy has good analysis.

The higher % in private schools probably reflects the larger amount of staff in those schools dedicated to kids with learning difficulties.
Having at least one full time staff member filling out the “Special Provisions application forms”, following through, answering Departmental follow-up questions, and knowing the SP rules backwards is an enormous advantage.

See the link above from whoever; that’s a textbook sociopathic tell.
Scott was also an ‘advisor’ to Metherell during the schools carnage.
Also seems like a massive pot of gold.
it was all for nought.
Hehe
That’s what I’m seeing!

A NSW law lecturer told me that in his law school it’s just routine for students to apply for special consideration every year. Things like “anxiety” are common. I think an employer ought to know if someone has got a degree on the basis that every set of exams they did was judged leniently because they got “anxious”. That would be useful information if the person was applying for a job in an area where tight deadlines were common.
But that would infringe the, now, standard Education rule .. everyone gets a participation prize!

LL seldom starts it. Just saying.
This week, I’ve started re-watching some 2016 election night coverage.
I watched 2 hours yesterday & plan on watching an hour or two each day for the next week or so.
First up, The Anthony Cumia, Compound Media show. 7 hours of coverage. This was when Gavin was still on Compound Media.
You witness the emotional roller coaster they’re on.
After this, I’ll watch the 4 hour Joe Rogan coverage from the LA Comedy store.
There were about a dozen comedians rotating during the show.
That show marked the end of Bill Burr.
Post that show, he became a cuck.
I wrote that I didn’t like Pell and it is possible that he fancies young boys, I don’t know, but the case against him was preposterous and should never have gone to court.
It is possible you confused me with someone else. It is clear that notaclue would have been outraged by my dispassionate lack of reverence. You aren’t as committed or obtuse as she is, so don’t have that excuse.
New Zealand the gayest parliament in the world!
There are now 11 gay MPs in parliament, up from seven, which at more than 9 per cent is the highest proportion of any National Assembly. In Britain, previously the record holder, there are 45 gay MPs out of 650, or 7 per cent.
Oz – the comments are amusing if you can leap the paywall
bloody concrete truck driver ran thing into the formwork.
Then gave me a countdown to when he had to get out of there so I had to carry three loads up the hill in a barrow in five minutes.
Almost died.
You’re all lucky I’m still here.
That’s a cheap shot.
It is possible that you…etc.
..
Aren’t you supposed to be writing something for my website?
Stop arguing with LL and get it done.
2 hours 12 mins in.
Gavin says, “I think we’ve got this”.
That was 8:12pm NY time.
Everyone else is all up & down.
Gavin saying, yep, Trump’s got this.
Thanks Zippy, good link to OC news.
When I saw that this morning in twitter I was blown away.
Dude is just going to a $$ political thing because he has to?
Thousands of people hit the route for organic MAGA rally?
That’s love.
When ya’ll seen politics done like this?
Haha

Casual speculation.
That is how the Pell rail-roading started.
Along with media campaigns starring the likes of Tim Minchin to poison the wells.
From memory you thought Minchin’s defamation was just a meaningless jingle?
Thank you, your Doomlordship. Your timely intervention heads off an open fred problem later in the week.

In Britain, previously the record holder, there are 45 gay MPs out of 650, or 7 per cent.
At least 75% of the Tories are gay.
Intensely gay.
The link I provided at 8:55 pm is well worth watching (even if it’s just to see Pam Bondi).
Again, there is no way in the world the Democrats can claim they had no idea what Hunter and Joe were up to. Now that Hunters laptop has shown up, it pretty much confirms that what Pam was saying was true, but it’s even worse than anyone imagined.
Everyone knew (how could they not), and it’s time the bastards were held accountable.
Oh yes very objective.
A slur that could be levelled at anyone we just took a dislike to because we didn’t like because of their world view.
Very very intellectual stuff.
Also
Stop being mean to the dumb people LL!
Great stuff Bernie!
Culture is upstream from politics.
Deep diving into that is always worth it.
That’s where you find the movement raw.
Being 2 weeks ahead of the cycle?
Priceless.
Look.
Now I have my breath back I’m thinking.
Do concrete trucks start charging by the minute after the first hour, or did that dude just think it was funny to see me almost die of a heart attack running barrows up that hill?
Makes a change from sheep!
In addition to Diogenes’ information – to the best of my knowledge schools in NSW cannot stop students from progressing to the next Year group irrespective of results, outcomes, or ability.

I clicked over another notch on the odometer recently.
Still doing ok, occasional oil change and tyres only.
Indeed.
I did take the piss out of that ridiculous fucking “Free Bradley Murdoch” show starring the disbarred junkie lawyer.
That seemed to be a trigger.
Oh, and yellow trucks.
Apart from that, not much.
.
As for “squabbling with Struth” BG, I need to correct you.
Sinc asked both of us to cease and desist.
And, in my absence earlier today, Struth had no trouble getting into a squabble with several people, so …
Explain this.
Now they’re screaming, he’s got Florida, call it. Up by 100,000 votes with 98% counted…
But Florida still not being called.
The science is settled and the debate well and truly over.
You can’t win a stoush with eggly.
Arky, how much do they gouge for a metre of conc these days?
And what cut does the CFMEU get?

You’re one of them instigators.
Obama was right. He knows Joe+fam.

Read my post at 9:06 JC.
Rewatching the 2016 coverage.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gavin_McInnes
Gavin McInnes (/məˈkɪnɪs/; born 17 July 1970) is a Canadian writer and far-right political commentator who is known for promoting violence against political opponents.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Too bad, if his movement was just an idea though…
JC
More importantly no-one wants to.
..
I paid $275 per m3.
But I was probably ripped off.
I didn’t bother to get quotes.
I prefer “thought provoker”.
“Instigator” sounds so crass.
They wanted $66 to take back the excess after the job.
So I just buried it in the yard.
Probably a step too far this time around. The evidence is already out.
Joe may well be the only one that turns out to be an actual genuine suicide. Although, I doubt he actually feels any genuine remorse. These people are all just likely to see themselves as victims of the Trump Monster.
I seriously doubt they are capable of any remorse, only panic that they got caught out.
Not much negotiating leverage for a driveway’s worth.
NZ PM JA happy with all the homosexuals. What would Freyberg have said? Godley had NZ soldiers shot for misbehaving.
You are a bright bloke Dr BG so you know what this statement of yours implies.
7-0 says you are wrong.
“Gavin McInnes (/məˈkɪnɪs/; born 17 July 1970) is a Canadian writer and far-right political commentator who is known for promoting violence against political opponents.”
Yep..the predictable smear. The do it to Milo and Laura as well.
I’ve got the times wrong.
It was 10pm before Gavin called the election.
Interesting article VR.
The curse upon Sth America seems to continue, even for the best performers.

Look.
Now I have my breath back I’m thinking.
When I was helping out my brother many years ago, he is a builder, they had the first 30 minutes free, you are lucky with an hour.
As was mentioned, concreting looks easy when others do it but it’s not a young man’s job, definitely.
Im surprised you didn’t borrow your neighbours wheelie bins.
NYFD sirens please JC.
..
Shit no.
Might still have asbestos dust in it from the brake linings I chucked in there last week.
I paid $222.50 per m3 + GST a month ago, so it’s around about the mark. Arky might have paid a bit more for a “broken load”.
