    Just adding to cohenite’s Wacky World of Islam ( and in this time of COVID, truckies, Scomo …. the wacky world still goes on)
    The Bataclan trial continues in France. The 2015 attack killed 130 people mostly young kids at a concert. One of the jihadis, Salah Abdeslam, claims he just changed his mind after the killing and decided not to blow himself up. Abdeslam means slave of peace – oh the irony. https://www.france24.com/en/france/20220209-i-didn-t-kill-anyone-claims-leading-paris-attacks-suspect

    Egg, flipped the dead tree Hun and these are areas of concern for Mike Burgess, head of ASIO, apparently:

    – Foreign espionage is a greater threat to Australia than terrorism;
    – Foreign spies are finding potential targets in Australia through dating apps such as Tinder, Bumble and Hinge;
    – “Small” numbers of anti-vaxxers and anti-mandate protesters concern ASIO;
    -ASIO’s terrorism caseload diminished last year, with no terror attacks on Australian soil, though it did make 2 major plot disruptions and;
    – Cyber crime and cyber enabled espionage spiralled while the nation worked from home under lockdowns.

    No figures are given, but Burgess cites an example of teenagers hanging Nazi flags and the Christchurch shooter being posterised on their walls. Thinking it’s bullshit.

    No no you missed the bit about an unknown foreign country doing bad stuff in Australia and using unknown agents directed by a Mr (or Mrs) BIG. That is important. ASIO has to find something once the muz settle down or they loose their funding. MR (or Mrs) BIG is fabulous. Well done. I wonder if he (or she) has a white cat.

    The unemployment figures:

    I was wondering – with so many workers isolating many businesses would be taking on new staff to cover themselves during this period. The workers isolating are not looking for work or on the dole, the new workers are not counted as unemployed due to working at least one hour in the fortnight. I expect we shouldn’t read much into the unemployment stats.

    Josh Cantu:

    I am a videographer on the Search Team of Adventures with Purpose. We are currently on a winter road trip across the united states working on investigating cold cases. This was a case we took on searching for a missing mother STEPHANIE TORRES who disappeared in the middle of the night four years ago without a trace.

    This is a behind the scenes account of working with Fire, Police, News, Towing, and Local Agencies in the SOLVED Case of Stephanie Torres. This documentary style video is told by the perspective of Team Member and Videographer Josh Cantu.

    Stephanie was last seen December of 2017.
    Filmed in Waco Texas on January 19, 2022.

    At that time a local investigation was opened but with the lack of evidence or leads the case quickly went cold. However when Adventures with Purpose took the case they brought a very valuable asset to the mix – experience in solving the thought to be UNSOLVEABLE cases. With some simple information from the family on Stephanie’s last known location and her typical daily habits we were able to narrow down the search to on HIGHLY PROBABLE location: the local boat ramp near her house. Within one hour of searching three vehicles were found and dove upon, and one of them MATCHED the description of Stephanies Car. However since new Texas License Plates are made of paper not metal we were unable to be 100% sure this was the missing mother. The only way to know for sure would prove to be pulling the vehicle out of the water.

    Dow falls over 600 points.

    Consumer prices surged more than expected over the past 12 months, indicating a worsening outlook for inflation and cementing the likelihood of substantial interest rate hikes this year.

    The consumer price index for January, which measures the costs of dozens of everyday consumer goods, rose 7.5% compared with a year ago, the Labor Department reported Thursday.

    Andrews does it again. From the Hun:
    ‘Fewer than 20 patients have been admitted to Victoria’s costly “medi-hotels” since the state government open the facilities to “alleviate pressures” on the hospital system.
    Providing an extra 300 beds a day for Victorian covid patients, the hotels were launched by the Andrews government in mid-January as a “buffer” to care for the rising number of people hospitalised during the Omicron wave.
    But despite significant starting and setup costs, the “homestyle” care facilities at The Pullman hotel and Mantra in Epping have admitted less than 20 people, the Herald Sun can reveal.
    The facilities are now being phased out.’

    If perfectly healthy people stopped getting tested for something which has the same lethality as the common cold, things will get back to some semblance of normality.

    To start, it’s important to know that the ABS has very strict rules about who is counted as unemployed. You must work zero paid hours to be officially unemployed. If you work just one hour a week, then you count as employed.

    In 1966 the ABS were counting the unemployed the same way, huh?

    Yep. The “”one hour rule”” has been used since 1966 when the Labor Force Survey started.

    BTW that was the first lie lefties told me when i first started posting in 2007. They told me the “”lying rodent”” introduced the “”one hour rule”” and that is why unemployment went from 8% to 4% under Howard. He manipulated the figures

    Turns out the “”one hour rule”” is an international definition codified in Geneva by the ILO and used in Australia since 1966.It is used in Pommyland as well and most probably all OECD countries

    The “”lying rodents”” are the ALP supporters who told me Howard introduced it when PM.

    I have been told that their have been no major changes since 1966. Now they may have since included more people in the survey or asked different questions but no major change. The “”one hour rule”” has been used since 1966

    How employment is measured: The one hour rule

    “””The ‘one hour rule’ is used internationally and allows employment figures to be compared with other countries. It has been used in Australia since the Labour Force Survey began, enabling comparisons to be made over a long period of time.“”

    https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-46264291

    But why does the ONS use one hour as the definition?

    “Why pick one hour? Well, because if you put the bar higher, you might end up classifying people as unemployed even though they’re working.”

    “You have to draw the line somewhere,” he says.

    The ONS definition is also an international one – drawn up by the International Labour Organization (ILO). By choosing to use the ILO’s definition, the UK’s employment data is consistent with other countries, making it easier to draw international comparisons.

    RBA’s governor tells parliamentary committee raising rates too early could threaten the chance of reaching a 50-year low in unemployment

    Let’s accept Neil’s advice that we can compare today’s unemployment figures against 1972 levels. (Or 1966)

    Why would the RBA be making interest rate decisions based on whether or not we could reach a 50 year low? With inflation raging across other nations like the US and UK, and ours creeping up steadily, the RBA thinks the emphasis should be on reaching an unemployment level that Australia had 50 years ago?

    4. Tweak your menu

    Meat and dairy tend to be the more expensive items at the supermarket, and especially of late. In response, aim to make more meals that don’t rely on them as the central ingredient, Brown said.

    “Using meat sparingly as flavor, like adding a bit of bacon to a mushroom risotto, is more economical,” she said. Consuming less meat also helps you to lower your environmental footprint, she added.

    All my clients have unlisted numbers. Government agencies also have unlisted numbers when they ring you.

    Ragu, on the Sinc Cat the actions of the RBA got very little attention.

    Only JC raised concerns that the RBA governor was not getting inflation high enough and called for Philip Lowe to be sacked.

    The US Federal Reserve has a huge inflation problem on its hands, and they are not prepared to act upon it. Inflation has arrived in the US and is not going away.

    The method for determining unemployment has not changed since 1966 but peoples behaviour has. There is a lot more casual work and less full time work.

    I think the ABS also gives other unemployment rates other than the official one which might take into account changes since 1966. They give something called participation rate, whatever that is.

    mh, I don’t think JC or the RBA governor have much of an idea of how the higher price of groceries is unsettling in the times of stagnant wage growth, and how low interest rates of just 0.3% on your extremely modest hard worked for savings for the future is appalling. Basically we are paying the banks to keep our funds in an account.

    JC and the Lowe chap are both very well-off dudes and don’t know how these things affect people. They can’t know.

    Interest rates at the levels of the last few years drive up asset prices.

    BTW back in 2007 i made my first post online. I said Howard did a good job with unemployment falling from 8% in 1996 to 4% by 2007.

    To my surprise i got hit by verbal abuse i have never seen. The lefties wanted to put their arms through my computer screen and strangle me.

    They told me the “””lying rodent”” introduced a new rule. If you work one hour/week you are now employed and that is why unemployment fell under Howard.

    Turns out the “”lying rodents”” are Labor party supporters.

    The “”one hour rule”” has been used in Australia since 1966

    Also i still see wrong comments about how the “” lying rodent”” brought in a new rule. Work one hour and you are employed under Howards govt

    You can still see that wrong comment from time to time. That the Coalition brought in a new rule- work one hour and you are employed.

    Trouble is the lefties are wrong. The “””one hour rule”” is an international definition and used in Australia since 1966
