The NACC decided that moral hazard should become standard for the political elite.
Imagine if the job of police prosecutors was not to charge, but merely to decide if bank robbery was a serious offence under the crimes act.
There is an easy solution to our fuel and fertilizer crisis if our politicians cared more about Australians than sucking up to America and Israel.
This is all we have to do to get our fuel and fertilizer back, Albo? What is more important, Albo: Australians, and their ability to eat, or the American and Zio arses you lick?
did any uppity politicians get sorted out over the ides? thats the traditional season for the genocidal ones.
Don't worry. Americans will feel better about this war after "Grandson of Rambo" gets released and they'll think they've won it.
Every Australian harmed by the increased fuel prices, lack of fertilizer, the price of food when that hit comes, should understand that none of those would be problems if Pine Gap did not exist: America could not have gone to war.
The politicians & media know it.
Make THEM pay.
Yeah, and it does diverge from the original, but who cares?
I certainly hadn't imagined the lotophagi like that. The active ingredient in the lotus must be a lot better stuff than I thought.
I'll give them a pass for cuteness though.
It seems odd that someone as clever, delving as deeply into the matter, as the Royal Commissioner, would have sent all six names in a closed envelope to the NACC, waiting for the NACC to be formed, unless to ensure the possibility of prosecution. She'd have just called them out otherwise.
It stinks
The more I watch Alastair and Rory, the easier it is to dislike Campbell, even when he is right, and the harder it is to dislike Stewart, even when he is wrong.
If Joh wasn't chained in the depths of hell with a hot metal rod up his arse for his sins, his ghost would have a hard-on watching the metaphorical jackboots on the necks of Queenslanders now.
Black Mirror time - an uploaded brain in a computer wandering around a virtual world with people watching - what could go wrong when it is not today's fly, not tomorrow's mouse, but the day after's human?

The political elite, and those that own them generally, are just rubbing it in our faces now that the system of democracy and most of the institutions is a sham now, they don't have our interests at heart, and have no loyalty to the country.
I wish the entire leadership of the nation that's the greatest cause of instability and inhumanity in the world, and the entire leadership of their 5 most craven vassals, and all who support them, vanished into thin air.
Who'd object to that?
Go on, object, admit your sins.
This tweet will never age - that particular leopard will never change its spots until the maggots eat them.
Israel could drop a load of nukes and western governments like Australia would still say, ("regretfully" of course), that it was justifiable to help stop the threat of weapons of mass destruction.
And their following "shared values" and "long and valued friendship" statements wouldn't be lies.

To be fair, Israel wouldn't request our assistance.
It would command it.
The only problem Australia would have obeying that order is if Israel and America demanded the same Australian in different places at the same time.
Yes that is the US President wearing a campaign merchandise baseball cap to receive dead soldiers home.
Meanwhile China throws SE Asia a partial lifeline for rising diesel cost/availability problems via electric freight: increased BRI rail journeys, and zero-down vendor-financed EV freight trucks - out of big inventory because of overcapacity.
Like China expected the US to blow up the middle east.
Meanwhile, Chinese BRI electric trains, and massive surge of vendor-financed EV freight trucks and battery-swap sites into friendly neighbors (esp Vietnam) so friendlies can kinda cope with diesel freight crisis ... nice to have stock on hand isn't it?
It's the best version. Brick wall/clock bit is brilliant - the iconic scene in a tense film. Nature v nurture debate is maybe the "easiest" of the themes, and no easy answers given. It's as if Hitchcock got a pitch for B grade SF horror and developed it into a classic.

Australia's helicopters don't want to cause trouble.
No, of course not.
Last thing on they wanted.
see 2001 when it came out, when you were that nerd kid who knew everything about the gemini and apollo missions, AND a fair bit about neanderthals, australopithecus, etc ...
mind ... blown.
It's still the only way to build a space station properly. And that it wasn't finished. *chef's kiss*
Village of the Damned. (just pipping Spartacus)
You know who I'm talking about.
Yep. And all those aiding and abetting and expecting to get away with it scot-free.
