No surprise from me.

Didn't they see the shitfight the Bendigo festival turned in to?

He didn't exactly condemn it, did he.
January 8, 2026 at 12:18 PM
I'm relieved.

Well, he comes out of the Shoppies.

He's running SA OK, I guess, better than the other mob would, but that's a low bar.
January 8, 2026 at 12:15 PM
Impressive.

Yeah, well, Trumpist USA is the New Rome.

It was a lot like the way the defeated general was paraded in chains for a Roman Triumph.

They're incapable of holding two thoughts in their minds – that Maduro is an oppressor _and_ that illegal invasions of other countries are always wrong.

You'd certainly have a Voice to Parliament.

I think the fact that he's a savvy, or at least long-serving, politician is a lot of the problem.

There'd be a few sociopaths who'd do it.

Also time for a reminder that ELIZA has passed the Turing test many times.

We must. I hadn't noticed it either.

The thought of a bunch of Mossad wannabes scuttling around Sydney packing heat makes me glad I live in Murray Bridge.

However, we Australians have endless, bitter, State-based "discussions" about whether this is a potato cake / scallop / fritter …

That's a fairly cheap house by Sydney standards.
December 17, 2025 at 10:54 PM
That's interesting.
December 16, 2025 at 5:10 AM
Probably.

The only good thing about that is that she's on the hook for her own legal expenses.
December 14, 2025 at 12:16 AM
All I can say is I'm glad I never served with her.
December 14, 2025 at 12:15 AM
