I’ve just struggled through a John Houston film the Kremlin Letter (currently free on yousetube). It is about the intelligence service and written by an ex member. The fundamental job of all the intelligence agencies is to find (or fabricate) some deep dirt on everyone and use that as power. This completely fits with Biden, Epstein, Robert Maxwell and the rest and why they are so infuriated with Trump. I sort of knew this, but the film truly exposes their MO. I now wonder about our politicians and public service czars.

IMHO.
For referenda, accept only either ‘yes’ or ‘no’, nothing else, as per the legislation.
For elections, optional preferential voting (number as few or as many as one wishes) should be permitted. (The Uniparty will never allow this, of course!)
In both cases, it is not compulsory to vote per se. One only gets fined for not having one’s name crossed off the roll and, once this is done, one can eat one’s ballot paper or tear it up and throw it in the bin, if one wants.

That Nationals MP in the Bolt vid – 250+ languages. What a crock. Nobody anywhere speaks the native Aboriginal language. The oldest in the community speak English and nothing else. Successive generations, increasingly damaged by the effects of alcohol and related health problems at birth, speak what many call pidgin but what I thought was merely a dialect based on limited vocabulary. There were simply no words in Abstralia for the modern world and even the most isolated and remote communities are modern little towns with houses, electricity, stores, transport, the lot. Having said that Bolt is right and parliamentarians are just pretending to have respect for Burney.

A man, who, as a priest, 50 years ago sexually abused a teenage boy, rose through the ranks to become a Cardinal in the Catholic Church. He was defrocked in 2019 following a Vatican investigation which found him guilty of sexually assaulting several victims.
In his criminal case, a judge ruled last month that this 93-year-old former Roman Catholic Cardinal is not competent to stand trial after both prosecutors and defense attorneys determined he suffers from dementia, and dismissed charges he sexually assaulted a teenage boy in Massachusetts decades ago.
McCarrick is guilty of sexually abusing minors. To decide that the charges can be dismissed because he has memory gaps is not justice for the victims. His rights do not matter. Why does his competence taken precedence over the trauma suffered by his victims?
He probably has friends in high places – the earthly ones.
Woe to those who call evil good by deciding that his mental state matters and he can be let off on grounds of not being competent to stand trial.
From the comments:
– This man represents the very worst corruption in the Church and the state. Sickening the victims get no justice in this life.
– McCarrick will soon face the Just Judge…be sure that he will be held accountable.
………………..
On the other hand,
Woe to those who call good evil
Also in the Catholic Church
The future of a good and faithful bishop – Bishop Joseph Strickland of the diocese of Tyler, Texas – is being discussed in the Vatican, and he may be asked to resign.
Why? Because under the current regime at the Vatican, if you are a good Catholic shepherd who upholds the teachings of the Church, you are deemed bad. Now, if you fly a Pride flag in your church, are pro-Covid vaxx, support Net Zero, abortion and the rest of the NWO agenda you will get a promotion.

United Australia Party’s Clive Palmer says the Voice to Parliament is a “plan to take” from “aboriginal people” their voice and participation in society.
“We can’t stop racism but we can stop the government from legislating against it,” Mr Palmer told Sky News host Paul Murray.
“I’m worried about our Indigenous brothers and sisters who have been looked after by committees for years.”

The European Central Bank on Thursday announced a 10th consecutive hike in its main interest rate, as the fight against inflation took precedence over a weakening economy.
Rate raises have now hauled the central bank’s main deposit facility from -0.5% in June 2022 to a record 4%. A key reason for the hike Thursday appeared to be upward revisions in newly-published staff macroeconomic projections for the euro area, which see inflation averaging at 5.6% this year, 3.2% next year and 2.1% in 2025. However, it also indicated that further hikes may be off the table for now.

Germany, Austria, Czech Republic and Hungary have all said no to Ukraine’s request to forcefully repatriate military aged Ukrainian refugees, it looks like only Poland and Ireland have agreed to do so.
We can be sure that the Ukrainian refugees in Hungary would mainly be Transcarpathian Hungarians who have been particularly targetted by the Azov round-up gangs, same as the ethnic Russians in Kharkiv oblast.
Victor Orban would be as unlikely to return ethnic Hungarians to the Ukraine as Vladimir Putin would be inclined to return ethnic Russians to Ukraine.

When the story appeared in the Australian some days ago, I thought it may be a good occasion to teach the wokeists a lesson.
No proof of eligibility is required for Indigenous Australians, Maori, Pacific Islanders and First Nations peoples to access ticket discounts from top arts and sport institutions.
So all the non-indigenous Aussies who wish to avail of discounted tickets, should go ahead and claim discounts. No proof is required and if anyone dares to suggest that you do not qualify, you can threaten to sue on racism and discrimination grounds.

The AEC does NOT have the authority to make this decision!!!!!!They are in breach of the ACT by making this statement, The ACT is VERY specific as to what qualifies as a FORMAL vote.The word YES or NO in the square as instructed as printed ON the paper, or ,According to SEC 94(8)and 94(9)(scrutiny of a referendum) the letters Y or N in the space provided on the paper is presumed to have intended to approve or not approve the proposed law as the case may be and are to be treated as formal votes. NO other options are legally available by virtue of the ACT, and I believe that publically promoting any other marks as valid is an act of disinformation!

The referendum booklet which contains the section Your official guide to the 2023 referendum has the AEC logo and the last page has samples of the ballot paper with the Write YES or NO instruction as well as the box having a YES on one sample ballot paper and NO on the other sample ballot paper.
The AEC was responsible for the content in that section of the booklet and is responsible for the ballot papers. If the instructions in the sample are not exactly what will be accepted as a valid vote, someone in the AEC has to be held accountable.

Brighton’s starting line-up cost less than £20m in total, while Man United spent more than £300m on theirs.
Something I wasn’t aware of in Premier league is there is a cap on total transfer allowance per club .. your transfer limit is decided by the amount of outside sponsorship you have (naming rights, jerseys, boots ect) the bigger your sponsorship contract(s) the more your allowed for a total tranfer budget ..
ie .. the new Toon shirt deal with Adidas added an extra 75 million pounds to whatever their total already was .. they are now 3rd highest amount behind Manchester City & Manchester United …….
