    Monica Doumit:
    Greenwich ‘equality’ Bill could make religious teaching on gender a crime

    Sydney MP Alex Greenwich tabled two bills that form part of his long-anticipated “equality” package last week. The first of these, the Conversion Practices Prohibition Bill 2023, seeks to ban so-called conversion practices. I’ll take a look at this bill this week, and address the Equality Legislation Amendment (LGBTIQA+) Bill 2023 in next week’s column.

    Despite the secrecy currently shrouding the government process, the extreme proposals coming from Alex Greenwich mean you can still act today.

    If you have a Labor MP in your electorate, let them know that you are concerned about the breadth of these proposed laws ….

    Fauci was told of NIH ties to Wuhan lab’s novel coronaviruses by January 2020

    Fauci had been informed by January 2020 that his institute had funded the discovery and study of dozens of novel coronaviruses at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, including the closest cousin virus to SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, new records show.

    Read the article.
    Fauci, the man whose institute was responsible for funding the virus that wrecked the world economy, freedom, lives and livelihoods, knew about it in January 2020.

    The person who had a major role in causing the virus was not punished in any way. Shockingly, he was rewarded with a leadership role in the taskforce and also received a commendation from the President.

    If you are having communication problems in your marriage and you don’t want to have it out with your spouse, in the privacy of your home, what do you do?

    Post it on social media, of course. For the world to see.

    What I did from 5-6 pm.

    Rather than engage with her husband and ask for help, this woman filmed herself struggling with her toddler for an hour and then filmed him doing nothing to help.

    This should help the marriage. Letting the whole world see that your husband is a selfish guy.

    Charles Darwin University health academic Bea Staley counselled after telling students to ‘reflect deeply’ on their career choice if they oppose the Voice to Parliament

    Dr. Bea Staley is an Associate Professor in Speech Pathology in the College of Health and Human Sciences. Bea’s teaching and research interests relate to language development, early literacy, culturally appropriate practice, early intervention, equitable service provision, diversity and difference. Bea holds a Master’s degree in Speech Language Pathology from the University of Iowa, and a PhD in Multicultural Equity Studies in Education from The Ohio State University. Bea’s research examines children’s development in context of their families, schools and communities. Bea’s research uses qualitative methodologies, such as narrative inquiry, to explicate the more nuanced features of lived experiences. Current projects include: The Grammar Assessment Test for English (GATE) primary school project; The Rural Oral Language & Literacy (ROLL) Project; and Caregiver perspectives, a longitudinal study about the experiences of families with children with disabilities and their interactions with health and school systems.

    Shouldn’t that be Free Speech PAthology?

    We were told it was the Zika virus –

    Brazil: In just the past few months over 3,000 babies have been born in Brazil with Microcephaly. Australian researchers have determined that the cause was the mandatory DTP Vaccine given to pregnant mothers the year before. Microcephaly is a rare neurological condition in which an infant’s head is much smaller than other babies and occurs when there is a problem with brain development in the womb or when the brain stops growing after birth. Children with microcephaly often have developmental issues.

    johanna,

    Was it a WPX orange error message screen?

    I’ve had these error messages with missing comments a number of times. Most likely, it is some word or link that WordPress doesn’t like. After some experimentation, I have worked out two solutions.

    1/ When the error screen appears, click the Refresh button on the browser. This should bring back the error screen with a Retry button. Click the Retry button and the comment should get through.

    2/ Another option is to click the Back button on the browser and it brings back the comment box with the comment still sitting there. Then click the Post Comment button and it should get through.
    If the error message is back, use the first option above.

    Prigozhin’s Assassination Was Business, Not Revenge

    The idea that this was revenge is tempting, given that Prigozhin’s mutiny, even if it rapidly disintegrated, seemed like a humiliation for Putin. But look at events since then, and it doesn’t add up.

    Qatar decision slammed by farmers raring to export meat to Middle East
    Farmers say they are collateral damage in the federal government’s decision to block the bid by Qatar Airways for 28 extra flights per week, arguing there are limited avenues to expand exports of fresh boxed meat into the lucrative Middle East market at a time they remain below pre-COVID levels.
    With the Albanese government facing a mounting political storm over the decision, sheep producers say there has been a failure to appreciate the ramifications of the decision on exporters who were already fighting for air freight space.
    Australian lamb exports are on track for a record year according to the Meat and Livestock Association, with most of the produce shipped frozen by sea to key overseas markets including China, the US, South Korea and the Middle East.
    But the industry relies on the availability of cargo hold space in passenger planes to transport premium chilled meat into the Middle East, where consumers prefer fresh rather than frozen meat.
    Fletcher International Exports founder Roger Fletcher, one of Australia’s biggest exporters of lamb and sheep meat, said the “bellies of jets is the best way for us to take high-priced premium product”.
    Lawyer for women strip searched in Qatar urges Labor to give airline no quarter on bid
    “The more jets we’ve got in the air, the better the chance for farmers to open up more markets. You can’t take on more contracts if you can’t get the space,” Fletcher said.
    He said farmers were “jostling to get whatever space we can”
    Western Australian sheep farmer Bindi Murray, who was in Canberra last week as part of a delegation of farmers lobbying the government about Labor’s pledge to eventually phase out the live export trade, said the impact of the Qatar decision on exporters had been lost in the focus on the hit to tourism and soaring airfares.

    Simples, they hate you.

    The academic who wrote the junk paper defaming me, by “concluding” (with any evidence) that I’d intentionally spread disinformation to cause harm, had received $456,541 from taxpayers to fund his work.
    Tim obtained this money from the Australian Research Council on the basis he was investigating “disinformation” and “coordinated inauthentic behaviour”.
    Perhaps this is why he made false and defamatory claims against me, so it would fit within the parameters of the grant money he received ?

    Old bloke,

    If I watch your video is Scott Ritter going to demonstrate that Poland has agreed to round up male Ukrainian refugees in the military service age range (16 to 60) and force them to return to Ukraine?

    Scott Ritter often qualifies his commentary by saying ‘that is just my opinion’.

    Scott and the girl agree that nothing will come from it, there is a long list of exemptions, for example being a student, being the father of three or more children, etc., so it won’t be enforced.

    They expect that only a few individuals will be taken back to the border, these would be people who have come to the police’s attention for other matters. The Polish Police aren’t about to start kicking doors down is their opinion.

    – The destruction of a British Challenger 2 tank in Ukraine is just the latest illustration of expectations versus reality in terms of the collective West’s proxy wars around the globe;

    I haven’t watched the full video yet, but Scott surely doesn’t like Nasties.

    I wonder if he dislikes the Ukro Nazis more than the Illinois Nazis.

    The Age

    Support for the Indigenous Voice has slumped to 43 per cent after the opening week of the formal campaign for the referendum, with NSW and Victorian voters shifting against the proposal and putting it on track for defeat on October 14.

    Voters have swung against the Voice for the fifth month in a row and are backing the No case in every state except Tasmania, despite a forceful campaign by Yes supporters to assure sceptical voters they had nothing to fear from the change …

    Pureblood GOAT

    Novak Djokovic beat Daniil Medvedev 6-3, 7-6(7-5), 6-3 in the US Open men’s final to match Margaret Court’s all-time record haul of 24 grand slam titles.

    The victory, his fourth in 10 Flushing Meadows finals, capped another remarkable grand slam campaign for Djokovic with wins at the Australian, French and US Opens and a return to the top of the world rankings when they are updated next week.

    His fate sealed with a kiss

    Luis Rubiales, the suspended head of the Spanish soccer federation, finally folded under immense pressure Sunday and resigned three weeks after his kiss of a player on the lips overshadowed Spain’s first-ever Women’s World Cup title.

    Rubiales had been at the center of a controversy that had gone far beyond Spain’s borders and the world of sport after he kissed Jenni Hermoso during the globally televised awards ceremony after Spain beat England to win the title on Aug. 20 in Sydney, Australia. The player said the kiss was without her consent.

    “After my swift suspension by FIFA, and the rest of the cases building against me, it is clear that I cannot return to the post,” Rubiales said on Sunday in a message posted on X, formerly known as Twitter.

    Lezzoball for the lezzos.

    Joshua Thomson SC, Solicitor-General of Western Australia, is batting for the women. What a guy! You gels are so lucky.
    “Several candidates will likely reach a threshold level of merit, in which case there must be a means of selecting the most appropriate candidate between them. This will depend on various factors including whether the candidate’s ­appointment would increase the diversity of the court.” By diversity he means more women. From today’s OZ.
    Seems there is a threshold for judges below “the best”, so it will be a “between the legs” decision. On ya Josh. If not the genitals, then what are those factors Josh. Now be careful Josh, I am sure you believe men and women are the same.

    Should PM Albanese be referred to the National Anti-Corruption Commission over Qantas? – 6.09.23 – Senator Rennick – 5 mins.

    Regarding Qantas ghosting flights, that happened to me a few years ago. I had a function to attend in Sydney on a set date several months in advance so I booked my flight with Qantas’s Jetstar a few months early to get the best prices with the advantage of a longer booking time.

    I had booked a late morning flight to arrive in Sydney just after rush-hour traffic had cleared (flying from Perth), and just a week or so before departure I got an email from Jetstar (Qantas) saying that my flight had been cancelled and they had transferred me to the overnight midnight flight.

    I rang them and asked for another booking and all they could offer was other midnight flights on other days, or cancel the flight and get your money back. With such a short time to my departure date, all other airlines had been fully booked unless I wanted to pay a premium and fly business class which is beyond my means.

    So I had to take that midnight flight which was completely full with a lot of other unhappy passengers, I assume they were all conned into booking the same ghost flight I was scheduled to fly on.

    I haven’t flown with Qantas since that incident and won’t use them again.

    It’s more than just government and corporations, the unions are in it too. The ACTU is a member of the UN International Labour Organisation which answers to the WEF.

    So, the government decrees that everyone should get a jab of some experimental concoction to please their corporate masters, and the unions won’t offer any support to their members who don’t want the jab.

    It’s all one big party and you aren’t in it.

    Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin (R) has pardoned the Loudoun County father who protested his daughter’s rape in a school bathroom by a transgender student, and her public school’s attempted cover up of the incident, Youngkin’s office announced Sunday.

    The parent, Scott Smith, was charged with obstruction of justice and disorderly conduct in June of 2021 and convicted in August 2021 after he raged on school officials in a viral video.

    I’m pleased to grant Scott Smith a pardon. He is a dedicated Loudoun County father who was wrongfully prosecuted and convicted for standing up for his daughter at a 2021 Loudoun County School Board meeting after she was sexually assaulted at school.

NO CARBON EMISSIONS (well… except for manufacture, battery, charging and disposal, and what the, now out of work, driver is doing..)

    I wonder what “October Surprise’ will be in da Voice. You can bet the Yes will pull something. It is full of young PR types. They know that a last minute pull of the heart strings will sway a lot of votes. It has to be last minute so there can be no discussion and it has to be emotional. We could have a sweepstake on this. It could either be positive e.g. poor young wide eyed children pleading for a yes future or negative e.g. some maniac raving to vote No.
