    The Voice may not be enough –

    MINING GIANT SORRY OVER SACRED SITE.
    A mining giant has apologised after damaging another site sacred to Indigenous Australians in Western Australia’s Pilbara region.
    Rio Tinto has halted work and confirmed it is working with traditional owners after a blast caused damage to an ancient rock shelter near the iron ore Nammuldi mine in the Hamersley Ranges last month.
    Monitoring identified a large rock and a scrub tree had fallen from the rock shelter.

    How can they ever recover from a fallen rock and scrub tree?

    Rio Tinto has halted work and confirmed it is working with traditional owners after a blast caused damage to an ancient rock shelter near the iron ore Nammuldi mine in the Hamersley Ranges last month.

    I heard the story on the news this morning and was wondering about how this support from Rio Tinto is working out. Maybe another million or two will help?

    Regarding that German tank(s) destroyed by the Russians, there are conflicting reports. That link I posted above talks about a German made and crewed tank (singular) in Zaporizhia Oblast (southern Ukraine) whereas another report points to tanks (plural) on the northern front.

    That report also says that, not only was (it/they) crewed by serving German soldiers, the tank(s) was still owned by the German army.

    Maybe there are multiple units of the German Army serving in the German made tanks?

    Russell Brand picks up eight girls at once

    NOVA FM

    Back in 2009, before Katy Perry, Russell Brand came into the Nova FM studios for an interview with Dave Hughes and Kate Langbroek, who had organised for eight single girls to be hanging around the studio, pretending to be working. He wanted them all… “am I allowed these girls?” “Gareth, get another bus!”

    I have always considered Russell Brand to be a loathsome braggart and have no interest in his reported conversion to conservative viewpoints. However when the media has to interview 100 women he dated in order to find 4 complainants, I wonder at the lack of self protection by the groupies and their families – in particular the 16 year old going to a solo date.

    Another Voice poll, another blow for Albo

    AFR

    … The latest AFR/Freshwater Strategy poll shows Labor’s primary vote is back at the election-day level of 33 per cent, and its two-party preferred vote of 51 per cent is slightly lower than at the election.

    With less than three weeks until the referendum, support for the Voice is 33 per cent, while the No vote has reached 50 per cent and 17 per cent are undecided. If the undecideds are excluded, the No vote is 60 per cent and the Yes vote 40 per cent.

    Among those who have switched their vote from Yes to No over the past five months, the most commonly cited reason is the Voice has served as a distraction from the top two issues of voter concern – the cost of living and the cost of housing.

    Poland tries to ease tensions with Ukraine

    Poland’s president appeared to soften Warsaw’s recent rhetoric toward Ukraine after tensions rose in recent weeks between the allies and neighbors, particularly over grain imports.

    “We need to get our emotions under control, because let’s remember who will benefit most if the paths of Poland and Ukraine diverge. The consequences could be tragic,” Polish President Andrzej Duda told a Polish newspaper Sunday.

    Duda’s comments come after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy appeared to suggest, when addressing the U.N. General Assembly last week in New York, that some of Ukraine’s allies had feigned solidarity with Kyiv.

    That comment appeared to prompt Poland’s prime minister to state that Poland would no longer supply Kyiv with weapons, escalating tensions further. …

    … In an interview with a Polish newspaper on Sunday, Duda noted that Zelenskyy’s comments at the U.N. General Assembly could have been down to stress.

    “Let’s not forget that Zelenskyy is under enormous pressure,” he told Polish newspaper Super Express. “He is sending people to the front, often to their deaths.”

    The incident put Poland and Russia, two countries that have opposing views on the nature of the Ukraine conflict, on the same side.

    Witold Dzielski, the Polish ambassador in Ottawa, has said that the SS unit was “responsible for murdering thousands of Poles & Jews” and that Waraw will “never agree on whitewashing such villains” despite its support for Kiev.

    His Russian counterpart, Oleg Stepanov, blasted the Trudeau government as “essentially the epitome of neo-liberal fascism.”

    It has come out today that Justin Trudeau personally met with and honoured a veteran of the 14th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS (a Nazi division).

    Liberals then arranged for this Nazi veteran to be recognized on the floor of the House of Commons during the visit of the Ukrainian President.

    This is an appalling error in judgement on the part of Justin Trudeau, whose personal protocol office is responsible for arranging and vetting all guests and programming for state visits of this kind.

    No parliamentarians (other than Justin Trudeau) had the opportunity to vet this individual’s past before he was introduced and honoured on the floor of the House of Commons. Without warning or context, it was impossible for any parliamentarian in the room (other than Mr. Trudeau) to know of this dark past.

    Mr. Trudeau must personally apologize and avoid passing the blame to others as he always does.

    Poland’s education minister says he’s ‘taken steps’ to extradite Yaroslav Hunka

    Poland’s education minister says he has “taken steps” to effect the extradition to Poland of Yaroslav Hunka, a 98-year-old Ukrainian Canadian, after it emerged that the veteran served in the Nazi SS Galizien formation during the Second World War.

    On Friday, Hunka was invited to sit in the parliamentary gallery by Speaker Anthony Rota for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s address to Parliament. Rota introduced Hunka as a “Ukrainian hero” and a “Canadian hero,” prompting a standing ovation in the House of Commons.

    Over the weekend, it was reported that Hunka was part of the First Ukrainian Division, also known as the Waffen-SS Galicia Division or the SS 14th Waffen Division, a voluntary unit that was under the command of the Nazis.

    “In view of the scandalous events in the Canadian Parliament, which involved honouring, in the presence of President Zelenskyy, a member of the criminal Nazi SS Galizien formation, I have taken steps towards the possible extradition of this man to Poland,” Przemysław Czarnek said in a social media post Tuesday …

    Landline – Australian biosecurity’ top men have spent over $100,000,000 trying to combat the Verroa mite in bees. They failed and have abandoned trying. No top men lose their jobs. Other people’ money. Meh.

    Beekeepers have been dreading this. Pollination of crops will be the big loser with migration of hives spreading the Varroa mite in the same way that American Foul Brood has spread from unmonitored hives to healthy ones. Biosecurity always spends money too little, too late.

    Back in the day in remote Ab communities where there was a very high risk of rheumatic heart disease we decided on a strategy of nose-blowing for Ab kids with runny noses, the ear, nose and throat being connected and ripe for strep throat. Despite dedicated funds, a committed workforce, free tissues to families we simply couldn’t get mum or dad or the kids to use them. So it was introduced at school along with a host of other initiatives to get kids to school – breakfast, lunch, clean uniform, lots of sports etc. First thing and several times a day “blow your nose, tissue in the bin, tissues burned later”. The kids loved the burning part, fire safety introduced, good behaviour and you got to light it. 100% attendance, not a runny nose in sight.
    You may have heard of the “no school, no pool” initiative. Same problem, different initiative, the chlorine obliterating the germs. Good idea but complete failure due to problems of staffing and manning the pool. Incredibly expensive failure.

    Landline did a follow up in Fiji where the Varroa mite problem was left to the beekeepers monitoring their hives. It seemed to be somewhat successful but the beekeepers weren’t Fijian but Indian. Which is pretty much what I saw when holidaying in Fiji. Little India.

    Noel says his people have been here since time immemorial. Is that longer than 65,000 fake years? It’s a must watch if you’ve recorded it. I don’t think he’s ever been to a remote community.

    Thanks Shy, Fascinating insights. My experience with various Aborigines over many years (Gamilaroi, Yolngu, Northern Queensland and WA) was that the only ones who made it basically got away from their extended family. As soon as they made money their “uncles” were onto them. Even then, one committed suicide and another is in gaol.

    John Cadogan on the Rockhampton big battery fire. There was no provision for water supplies at the site to douse fires, and there’s been no studies on the health effects of the fumes from these fires, they shouldn’t be anywhere near population centres.

    A giant Tesla battery caught fire … and they just let it burn | Auto Expert John Cadogan – 32 mins.

    The next generation of Rockhamptonites will have two heads.

    Just listened to Warren Mundine at the Nat Press Club. Clear and succinct, dot point refutation of the yes campaign’ lies and no-nonsense answers to journos questions.

    Warren Mundine has been a strong advocate for the NO case. But he supports treaties and believes that they can happen only if the NO vote wins.

    That is a bit of an odd combination. His support for treaties puts him at odds with the Liberal party position. He was a front-runner to fill in the Marise Payne NSW Senate seat but has now pulled out of the race.

    It is a pity because he could have worked well with Jacinta Price to clean up the rot and work out real solutions for the indigenous folk. They know what is wrong and could co-ordinate with the right people to help the ones who are in need.

    This article was published yesterday. There has been a new tranche out today which brings the total up to 670 released submissions.

    Tranche 1 – published on 15 September
    Tranche 2 – published on 22 September
    Tranche 3 – published on 28 September

    Misinformation Bill Slow-Walk: Only 330 of 23,000 Submissions Published

    After multiple delays, the Albanese Government has begun publishing submissions to its controversial ‘Misinformation Bill’ — but at such a slow pace that would only see the full catalogue released by June 2026.

    Shadow Communications Minister David Coleman has highlighted reports that a staggering 23,000 public submissions and comments have been made in response to Labor’s ‘Communications Legislation Amendment (Combatting Misinformation and Disinformation) Bill 2023’…..

    With an average of only 164 submissions published per week, it will take the Albanese Government over 140 weeks — or 2 years and 8 months — to publish the full set of public submissions. At such a pace, Australians will have to wait until June 2026 to have a full understanding of the public backlash to Labor’s contentious bill.

    GG: Speaker of the Canadian Parliament has been thrown to the wolves.
    What was the deal made with Rota to take the blame?

    GG: The buck stops with him.
    Correct. How long before Trudeau and Freeland resign?

    Was this the vetting process?

    As long as there are truth-seekers, a few courageous people battling against the Great Reset, the truth will be revealed. As George says, all those pro-Ukraine supporters have gone quiet.

    🇨🇦🇺🇦 Well This Is Awkward!

    The Speaker of the Canadian Parliament barely had time to take full responsibility for inviting SS veteran Yaroslav Hunka (saying Trudeau and Zelensky had nothing to do with it), when reporters found a Friday post from the granddaughter of the Nazi – Theresa Hunka.

    “Dedo is waiting in the reception hall for Trudeau and
    Zelensky” – the caption says

    It would seem that these two not only applauded the Nazi in the parliament but also had a personal meeting with him…

    Independent journalist arrested in Britain for malinformation. Malinformation differs from misinformation in that it may be truthful information but it differs from the official government narrative.

    Are ALL Wars…Banker’s Wars? Say it Isn’t So!

    Brazilian journalist Pepe Escobar says that all modern wars are about energy and pipelines. He coined the term Pipelineistan to describe the phenomena.

    He might be right, the current Russo/Ukrainian war, in a much broader sense, is about a war between Exxon vs. Gazprom to capture the European natural gas market.

    The US blows up the Nord Stream pipelines to shut Russia out of the European gas market while Exxon builds the Trans-Saharan gas pipeline to send Nigerian gas to the European market. Exxon’s future is assured as they have installed a former Chicago gangster as Nigeria’s President, you couldn’t make this stuff up.
